00:00Before going out, he would wrap hundreds of phones tightly around his body with plastic wrap,
00:04then put on a coat to cover them. On top of that, he also packed his surfboard full of phones.
00:08But even with hundreds of pounds weighing down on his body, Jimmy still brought along an
00:12inconspicuous box of cookies because it would help him get through the checkpoint. Since it
00:16was his first time smuggling, Jimmy was very nervous. The border officer immediately noticed
00:21something was off and demanded to inspect the things in the vehicle. Just as he was about to
00:25be caught, Jimmy quickly opened the cookie box and said everything in the car was cookies.
00:29He then handed the officer a cigarette case filled with cash. Having taken the bribe,
00:33the officer let Jimmy pass without any further trouble. After arriving at the destination
00:37across the border, the partner came to meet Jimmy. Unexpectedly, in addition to what Jimmy
00:42had on his body, the backs of the car seats were also stuffed with phones. His partner
00:46searched out over a thousand devices in total. Selling all these phones would earn them $1 million.
00:51However, what his partner cared about most was that box of cookies because its value far
00:56exceeded $1 million. The partner skillfully scraped the chocolate out of the sandwich cookies,
01:00then dissolved it in hot water. Hidden inside were actually countless priceless gold beads.
01:05This was Jimmy's first time transporting something as precious as gold. Normally,
01:09he mainly delivered everyday supplies to drug traffickers deep in the mountains.
01:12Due to government military crackdowns, the traffickers growing poppies in the mountains
01:16had no way to leave. So even if they had plenty of cash, they had no way to spend it.
01:20That's how people like Jimmy came to exist, delivering supplies for them. But the prices
01:25were extremely steep. A cheap bottle of wine worth $10 was sold to the traffickers for $100.
01:30Almost every product was like that wine, earning nearly 10 times the profit. But the traffickers
01:35had no choice but to silently accept these prices, or else they would starve in the mountains.
01:39For Jimmy, the high returns came with high risks. Not every border crossing went as smoothly.
01:45Some officers, even after taking Jimmy's money, still wanted to seize the goods in the vehicle.
01:49Jimmy thought he hadn't paid enough and rushed back to the car to get more.
01:52This move made the officers think he was going for a gun,
01:55so they immediately rushed over, ready to open fire at any moment.
