Chapter 229: The Civet Cat Substitutes for the Prince
The theft of the battery of the electric car may be a topic of discussion after dinner in the eyes of ordinary people, but for those who are used to petty theft, it seems to be a new business opportunity.
China has a population of 1.4 billion, and it is impossible for everyone to be a good citizen who abides by the law. Although there are not rats like stealing oil and batteries everywhere, there are always a few in every place.
So for a while, these electric thieves became the role models and pioneers of these rats. Many thieves who usually only steal battery cars can’t help but have crooked ideas about electric car batteries.
However, When they really put it into practice, they found out.
They thought too much! In front of these petty thieves with poor theft methods, Guizhen was like a tigress whose butt was touched.
Just after studying how to tighten the anti-theft screws, the whole car screamed wildly. After receiving the alarm, the backstage staff of Datang Heavy Industry would also call the police immediately.
If you don’t run fast enough, you will get a silver bracelet on the spot.
Of course, some people who are proficient in stealing cars before can also crack the alarm and anti-theft screws through signal shielding.
But Guizhen’s battery pack is locked with an electronic lock from the inside. If you can’t crack the battery replacement system, there is no way to remove the battery.
Or, you have to pull the whole car back and disassemble it slowly.
But going through so much trouble just to steal a battery worth tens of thousands of yuan? For these professional car thieves, it’s just a matter of having nothing to do. With that energy, wouldn’t it be nice to steal a few luxury cars? So after one or two such failed thefts, the car thieves basically gave up their crooked ideas about Guizhen.
As more and more similar news was reported, everyone realized that it was not that it was so easy to steal the battery of the electric car, but that the stealing technology of the first wave of people was too advanced! …
Qingcheng.
After committing five crimes in a row in one night, Zhan Lian and his younger brother honestly avoided the limelight for a few days. It was not until the fifth day that they finally couldn’t help but return to the small warehouse where they hid the stolen goods.
A Guizhen that was dismantled horribly because it was used for theft experiments, and a total of six power batteries filled the entire small warehouse. After the three of them got in, they couldn’t even find a place to stay.
But they didn’t dislike it at all. After all, a battery cost 50,000, and six batteries were 300,000. Even if they split it in half, they could still get 50,000.
It’s much better than stealing oil!
Thinking of this, Lei Zi immediately asked impatiently: “Brother Lian, how do we sell this thing?”
Speaking of this, Zhan Lian also had a headache. Although he knew that this thing was indeed valuable, his previous way of selling black oil would definitely not work, and the guy with the peaked cap who had promised to help them find a market for it suddenly lost contact.
This made Zhan Lian feel very uneasy.
Even this warehouse, he felt a little unsafe. The main reason he came here today was to hide the battery somewhere else.
”We’ll think of a way to sell it later. The key problem now is that we can’t contact that neurotic guy with the peaked cap. I think we have to move the thing to another place quickly.”
When the two younger brothers heard that the guy with the peaked cap couldn’t be contacted, they were also shocked.
“Can’t contact him? Has he been arrested?”
”Will he betray us?”
”Why do I feel like he might be a policeman?”
”…”
Hearing the flustered conversation between the two younger brothers, Zhan Lian’s mood suddenly became more irritable.
He patted Lei Zi’s head directly: “Don’t worry about these things now, just move the things to another place first!”
The two of them thought it made sense, so they immediately started to act.
”Brother Lian, here’s a note!”
Just when Lei Zi was tinkering with his stuff, he suddenly saw a note on the battery pack, so he quickly picked it up and handed it to Zhan Lian.
[The things are sold to No. 87, Shantang Village, Jiangbu, Qingcheng, and they will directly deduct my share. 】
After seeing this note, Zhan Lian was relieved.
“Fuck, you’re just playing tricks to scare me.”
”Hehe, I’m glad you’re okay.” Lei Zi also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Aren’t all the smart villains in the movies like this? With such a smart person leading us, we can make money without doing anything, right?”
Zhan Lian snorted coldly. Although he felt unhappy, he didn’t refute.
Next, theyThe batteries were loaded directly onto the van, and the tools used in the crime were also taken away.
No matter what, Zhan Lian was not going to come back here.
After all, it was the man in the cap who brought them here, and he actually didn’t know much about the details of this place.
However, after loading the things into the van, they did not go to their own hideout, but came to No. 87, Shantang Village, Jiangbu, Qingcheng according to the address on the note.
This is a dilapidated waste recycling station.
To be on the safe side, Zhan Lian did not drive in directly, but let Lei Zi stay in the car, and walked into the recycling station with another younger brother empty-handed.
Soon Zhan Lian found a little old man who looked to be in his 50s or 60s inside. “Are you the boss here?”
”Well, what scrap do you want to sell?”
”Well… do you want to recycle old batteries?”
”Old batteries?” The old man’s eyes narrowed immediately, “It depends on what kind of old batteries they are.”
”The bigger ones.”
”Then you have finally found the right person.” The old man smiled immediately, “Where is the thing?”
”Do you have so much money to buy it?” Zhan Lian asked back.
The old man shook his head helplessly, then picked up his phone to make a call.
This action made Zhan Lian a little nervous, and he thought the man was going to call the police.
But he soon found that his worries were unnecessary.
Because the old man suddenly remembered that he also had a signal jammer turned on here…
So he put his phone down again and shouted to the waste recycling station: “Da Hu, take out some money!”
Soon, a man in his thirties came out from the back of the garbage station with a black plastic bag in his hand.
The man threw the plastic bag directly on the table in front of the old man, looked at Zhan Lian and said: “One yuan for 25,000 yuan.”
Hearing this price, Zhan Lian finally confirmed that he had found the right person.
He opened the black plastic bag and confirmed that it was full of red bills, then called Lei Zi to drive the car in.
Next, unload the goods, take the money, and leave.
Everything went so smoothly.
Zhan Lian sat in the co-pilot, holding 150,000 cash in his arms, and finally couldn’t help but smile on his face.
“This is a damn good way to make a fortune!”
However, they didn’t realize that someone had secretly followed them when they left home today and headed for the place where the batteries were hidden.
At this time, on the roof of a building opposite the scrap recycling station, a plainclothes officer was using a telescope to observe the next move of the people in the scrap recycling station.
After Zhan Lian left, the man who took out the money called a few more people out and started to disassemble the batteries. This process lasted a very long time. After they disassembled the batteries inside, they replaced them on batteries waiting to be refurbished.
For a 48V12AH battery car, the battery usually has only 0.46 kWh. If it is replaced with a 300wh/kg sodium battery, it weighs only 1.5KG, so it looks light and empty when installed on the battery of the electric car.
So these battery refurbishment workers actually poured cement directly into the battery to increase the weight of the battery. After the battery was packaged, no one knew what kind of battery was inside unless it was opened.
The plainclothes police who saw this scene were a little amused.
Using such a good sodium battery to impersonate a lead-acid battery?
It’s a pity they thought of it!
However, according to the fact that a Guizhen battery has 80 kWh of electricity and a lead-acid battery has 0.46 kWh of electricity, at least 170 batteries can be packaged.
Although the price of lead-acid batteries in the market has been impacted by sodium batteries and has a downward trend, it is generally still above 400 yuan, and 170 batteries are worth 69,000 yuan.
This is just one battery, and Zhan Lian alone sold six to them. After they changed hands in such a rough way, this batch of stolen goods became lead-acid batteries with a total value of 414,000 yuan.
Even if their batteries can only be sold for 300 yuan due to the source problem, the 6 Guizhen batteries “recycled” this time can also make them a total profit of at least 150,000 yuan.
”Report, they are loading the truck, and now the sales channel has been determined. Do you want to close the net?”
”Yes, prepare to close the net.”
”Received.”
”Wait!”
At this critical moment, a voice suddenly broke into their channel.
”We are HuaSecurity Bureau, don’t act yet. I haven’t found the person I’m looking for yet. Don’t alert the enemy.”
The local criminal police in Qingcheng were immediately confused.
Hua Security Bureau?
Still lurking in their channel?
