Since sales are booming, add machines, increase workers, increase production, and increase the amount of tobacco smuggling.

Just as Jiang Hao was planning, his team leader Sakadu came over and reported with a somewhat anxious expression.

"Boss, something might have happened to Brother Luca. The ship should have come back the day before yesterday, but it was a day late. I asked the other side by telegram. They said that Brother Luca had already set off the day before yesterday. I suspected that something happened to them at sea. I don't know if it was a shipwreck or a catch by an Italian ship."

Jiang Hao frowned. It doesn't matter if he loses a cargo. If Luka is caught, he will lose a strong arm, which is something he is unwilling to accept.

"Send a ship to search at sea, contact Adidi and find out what's going on, and spend money to find out if he was detained by the navy. Regardless of life and death, he must find out the exact news about Luca." Jiang Hao ordered.

"Yes, boss." Sakadu responded.

At night, with the exact news, something happened to Luca. It was not that the wind and waves overturned the cargo ship, but was caught by the patrol ship of the Italian Navy, and even the ship and the people were seized.

Davi, Sakadu, Basari, Fabio, and Casani all came. Davi asked, "Boss, what should I do now."

Jiang Hao pondered for a moment and said, "If you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. We often smuggle at sea. It is normal to be detained by the navy. I thought about this day, Davi, you can find a way to see if you can find the relationship between the navy. It doesn't matter how much money you spend, try to rescue Luka and the others."

"I'll try the boss." Davie said.

However, they really don’t have much contact with the Navy, and it should be very difficult to find a relationship and get Luca out.

So Jiang Hao has to arrange the follow-up matters.

"Sakadu, you are the deputy team leader of Luka. You are familiar with the situation of the guys on the boat. For those with families, each family will send 5,000 pensions and tell them that as long as we are here, they will be given a sum of money every month and will never let them go hungry."

Sakadu quickly said, "I understand the boss, I will do a good job of comforting."

When these people heard that Jiang Hao would continue to pay money to the arrested people's family instead of throwing it away directly, they felt aroused in their hearts. Only with such a boss can they have a future and motivation.

Jiang Hao continued: "Our business cannot be stopped. Davi, organize a batch of freight to Tunisia and Fabio as soon as possible. You will be responsible for the next transportation and get back the tobacco we urgently need."

"Okay boss." Davi and Fabio responded together.

After arranging things, the subordinates were busy. Although some things happened and several subordinates were lost, Jiang Hao's arrangement did not reduce the momentum of the organization. Instead, because Jiang Hao was polite to his subordinates, he won the love and respect of more people.

It's just a pity that Luca is a good helper.

But a few days later, things changed dramatically, and Luca came back. Jiang Hao was surprised to see Luca standing in front of him, "Luca, how did you get out."

Luca smiled, "Boss, I didn't run out, the Navy let me go."

"What's going on?" Jiang Hao asked in surprise.

"Boss, we were sailing on the sea that day. Suddenly a patrol ship came to us and shouted to us. We cast the Italian flag as you arranged before. The other party still asked us to stop and check, otherwise we would be bombarded directly, so we had to stop."

"The tobacco in the full warehouse could not be hidden at all, and then eight of us were arrested and locked up on the ship for a day, then taken to a naval military base, and locked up in a black house for another day, so someone interrogated us."

"Of course we didn't say anything. Later, a lieutenant colonel officer came and asked everyone to go out and told me privately that they didn't want to do anything to us, but they wanted to participate in our business."

Jiang Hao was also surprised to hear this: "The Navy, you must participate in smuggling."

"Yes, they just want to participate in smuggling, and the other party wants 60% of the profits, but they guarantee that our ships on the Tunisian Strait will be unobstructed from now on, and they can even drive patrol ships to escort us." Luka said.

Jiang Hao was also stunned when he heard this. It was unheard of that warship escort the smuggling ship.

“Is there any more?”

"I thought they wanted too much. The Germans wanted 40% of the profits and the navy had 60% of the profits. Wouldn't we do it in vain? I bargained with the other party, but the navy colonel killed 60% of the profits. He said that there were many people who shared the profits, including the upper class. If there were fewer ones, it would not be worth taking risks."

"I can't decide on such a big thing. Tell the other party that I must ask the boss and they let me go, but Valero and the others were still detained at the naval base. The naval colonel said that if we don't agree, the business will be put aside, but our ships and people will not leave, Valero and the others will be sent to prison."

Jiang Hao thought for a while and said to Luka: "Go and call Davi and the others."

Luka went out to call someone, Jiang Hao fell into deep thought. It took less than a long time for Davi and some of his backbones to come over. Jiang Hao asked Luka to say it carefully again, and everyone frowned after hearing it.

Jiang Hao looked at the few people and said, "I decided to agree to the Navy's request."

"Boss, if we agree to the Navy, then we will be working for the Navy and the Germans in vain. But if we don't agree, Valero and the others will not come back. What a bastard." Davi said angrily.

Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Luca, the accounts are not calculated so much. When we smuggled food to Tunisia, the Germans shared 60% of the profits, and the Italian Navy wanted 40% of the profits, so we worked in vain."

"Yes, we'll have to go there in vain, we'll have to take labor." Everyone said.

"Don't worry, listen to me to continue. When I came back, the Germans did not participate in the share of tobacco profits. Only the Italian Navy. They still had to share 60% of the share of tobacco profits. We shared 40% of the profits of tobacco. This 40% of the profits of tobacco are enough for us to make up for all our expenses and make up for a lot of money, right?"

Everyone thought about it and nodded.

"But in this way, we are still in vain." Fabio asked.

"No, for us, the biggest benefit is to get tobacco. We now have our own cigarette factory, and the profit from the tobacco production is completely ours."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Yes, from tobacco to cigarettes, the value of tobacco can increase by four or five times, which is the profit.

Jiang Hao continued: "This is also a good opportunity to climb the Italian Navy line. From now on, we will have no obstacles at sea. We can blatantly smuggle and escort warships. We don't have to set out in a sneaky evening or run for half a month. In the future, the entire Tunisian Strait will be our back garden."

Jiang Hao said with great enthusiasm.
