Retreat outside the cave and hand over the harvested applied biochips to the younger brothers to wear, leaving only the chip that stores information for myself.Those chips that can only enhance a little strength are of little use to me, and it is better to use them to strengthen the group.Just as I was entering the ruins again, I was awakened by the sound of a phone.Ever since I started exploring the Rogue Empire, I've had to stay in my bedroom for more than ten days without leaving the house, like a drunken otaku.looked at the number, and it turned out to be Ma Xinghua."
Uncle Ma, you have something to do with me" "Ah Yang, are you free to come to Tongyun Mansion now, I have something to do with you." ”"Well, is there anything for me to prepare?"
"Prepare something."
I'm an old man, and I don't introduce you to anyone, hurry up, it's really urgent. ”"Okay.I'll go over it. ”I hung up the phone and was still thinking, what could the old horse do to find me, he is a famous ship king from far and near, and he has a wide range of people.The money in my hand is only a lot more than mine, where did I hear the news of a shipwreck, don't be surprised by the antiques on the ship, for the real rich, I really don't care about the price of what I like, Lao Ma really paid me to salvage a specific shipwreck, I will not be surprised at all.Driving alone to the Tongyun Building, Lao Ma was pacing back and forth in his luxurious office.Apparently not as relaxed as it appears on the phone.There was also a tall and handsome young man standing in the office, with a slight resemblance to the old horse between his eyebrows and eyes."
Ah Yang is here, sit down.Let me introduce to you, this is my son Ma Yundeng, who has just returned from studying for a doctorate in the United States, and your brothers will be closer and closer in the future. ”Lao Ma wants to introduce his son to me, so there is no need to be so formal, I am a man, and I don't need to meet alone in private."
Hello Brother Yang, my dad always mentions you to me, saying that you are the most capable person of the younger generation, and I am very happy to see you."
The pony spoke very politely, with a bookish smell, very sincere, and made me feel good."
Brother Yundeng won't leave when he comes back this time, it's good to stay at home, and I can help Uncle Ma more.In the future, our brothers will come and go more.Uncle Ma takes care of me very much, I am just like his own nephew, our brothers are good, I am a good person, you will know slowly in the future. ”After exchanging a few compliments with the pony, we sat down separately and looked at the old horse's slightly frowning brow, I know.I haven't talked about it yet."
Ayang, that's the case, you said last time that you had a good conversation with a Somali pirate leader, I don't know if you can still get in touch" The Somali pirate old horse's ship was hijacked by pirates, I quickly took out my mobile phone, and there was the phone number of the interpreter in Divayo, but I don't know if it was changed.In general, in movies, pirates who do this kind of thing, after a single extortion, will throw away the phone card to prevent the victim from retaliating."
Also, I just haven't fought before, I don't know if I can get through."
I'll be honest.This will be the time when the house is on fire, and you can't give the old horse a blind ticket."
Yes, these pirates won't change their phones, they're not afraid that others will know their number.They were very poor in that place.To buy a satellite phone card, you have to get it in the capital, Mogadishu, and the card is said to cost as little as $500 per card, so the pirates won't kidnap it once and change it.It's very arrogant.But no one can do anything about them, they can completely ignore anyone's pressure, unless other countries are willing to risk interfering in their internal affairs to attack their bases.If you really do that, it can't be solved by changing a calling card. ”After saying that, the old horse smiled at me tiredly, and then said: "Two of my ships have been in trouble in the Gulf of Aden, and they have been hijacked by those pirates.The ransom I asked for this time was ridiculously high, and I contacted the pirate who robbed me, and the fucking one even said that the previous discount was gone, and said that the order from the leader was to raise the ransom amount across the board, and no one could do anything.I remembered the last time you said you knew a little boss, so I called you, and you can help me ask.Is it possible to reduce the ransom by points, or grace the ransom payment date by a few days.These miscellaneous people only need dollars in cash, his grandmother's, where will I get so much cash for them in a while" Understood.The Somali pirates I blackmailed once raised the ransom for passing freighters in order to make up for the shortfall.Lao Ma's meaning is also very clear, and he probably doesn't have much hope for the so-called little boss I know, so he just talks about it and asks me to raise some cash to save people quickly.Lao Ma's assets are definitely more than mine, but the cash is definitely eight streets behind me.The old man knew that I had a lot of cash in my hand, so he was probably too embarrassed to open his mouth directly, put this problem in front of me, and asked me to lend him money.Not to mention Nan'an, it is estimated that there have never been rich people like me in the entire Quanzhou area.Liquidity is several times more than fixed assets."
Uncle Ma, don't worry, I have the money, you don't need to go to the bank to withdraw it.I can help you get enough for the ransom.Tell me what's going on, and I'll call and ask. ”This reassuring the old horse, the old horse is not unable to raise money, but he cannot raise so much cash in such a short period of time.Ma Yundeng probably has never seen his father, who has been calling for wind and rain, embarrassed.I didn't feel good in my heart, and my handsome face was worried, and he smiled at me reluctantly.It's still not familiar, and this kid won't be so shy when he is cooked."
Hey, these pirates who have been struck by lightning" Ma Xinghua's usual appearance of a successful businessman is gone, and now he has long since transformed into a complaining little old man: "Just at two o'clock last night, my two 50,000-ton container ships were on their way to Turkey through the Gulf of Aden.Hijacked by Somali pirates.Now you're going to demand 50 million dollars from me for a ransom. ”I'll wipe it, are these pirates poor and crazy Although I have long known that the ransom for extortion will not be less, but it can't be so much How much is a shipload of goods from Lao Ma, and he dared to extort 50 million, or US dollars, "Uncle Ma, didn't your ship go with the escort fleet there" I'm strange, Lao Ma is also a veteran who is used to running the sea route, and it is impossible to make such a mistake.When my fleet passed through the Gulf of Aden, I called back and told me that this time it was honestly following the escort fleet."
The ship is broken" Ma Xinghua is like a disgruntled little daughter-in-law: "When the ship walked to the waters near Oman, one of the wheels had a big problem, and then let another cargo ship tow to Oman.It took three days to fix it.The convoy was not meant to escort me alone, but they set out on time and told me to wait there for ten days, and then join the convoy when it returned with another group of cargo ships. ”I understand, the old horse is not willing to let the ship spend ten days at sea.The freighter is floating on the sea, not to mention the cost or anything, and the fact that there is no delivery on time can make the old horse take risks.Sure enough, Lao Ma frowned and said: "I can't afford to wait, this batch of goods is a bulk order that I received from here, and there are more than 50 customers involved."
Moreover, if the convoy comes back, it will not go this way, if it follows the fleet to detour to the Atlantic Ocean south of the African continent, the freight will be doubled, and it will take nearly a month, so I can only let the two ships fight, but I didn't expect that "no wonder, there will be a delay of forty days inside and outside here, even if the old horse does not earn freight, those cargo owners will not agree" Alas" The pony followed and sighed, in this case, even the old horse sat on wax, and he was even worse."
Fifty million US dollars" Ma Xinghua almost sighed after a year's anger: "The total price of my two ships, including the cargo on the ship, is about seven or eight billion, and there are ninety-six crew members, and that group of pirates asked me to pay fifty million dollars in a week."
I admit it, I am willing to give 50 million US dollars, who makes me unlucky, but with so much money, I don't dare to go to the bank to exchange it, and the black market can't raise so much money for a while" I understand, I still don't want the outside world to know that the ship has been hijacked, I am depressed, why did I encounter this incident, the one who is blackmailed is always more nervous than the pirate who robs:
