American TV series

Chapter 205: Destroyer

In three days, Sean sent out hundreds of invitations.

Everyone he knew in New Jersey's upper class, including politicians, including Governor Benny.

The cheap brother and sister from New York, Robert, Marvin, George W. Bush, James, those second and third generation dudes.

Naturally, the New Jersey underground forces came to support the event, and Sean, the five major families in New York, also sent invitations. Other than that, only Old Man Huang received the invitations.

It’s not like no one has raised the issue of whether those who live in the underground world are not suitable to appear in the same place as the rich and politicians at the same time, but this point was rejected by Sean.

No one in New Jersey's underground forces dares to mess around. The five major families in New York are very close to politicians and businessmen. Sean will not invite those brainless gangs at all.

Three days flew by.

At night, on the island in the middle of the river near Jersey City, Newark saw luxury cars pouring in one after another.

During this period, there were also many luxury cars with consecutive license plates, all of which belonged to the Peace Hotel.

Sean has invested heavily in purchasing 40 luxury cars of various colors, and these cars are specially used to receive public figures.

It was inconvenient because so many people knew each other in their own car. Sean took the issue of privacy into consideration very well and no one knew about the pick-up and drop-off in the car.

Of course, there are also helicopter transfers. Sean has prepared 20 helipads on the rooftops of the hotel!

This time Sean didn't come to the door to greet him, because most of them had already come to watch the underground boxing match.

A small number of people who had never been here came with friends and were introduced by someone.

After being surprised, there was only one feeling: how safe!

The privacy is so good that it is suitable for public figures like them to play.

Of course, Sean invited them not only to let them come and play, but also to introduce the Peace Hotel to them.

Beautiful waiters dressed in various colors will take them to visit the fully enclosed building on all sides, especially the rooms used for rent below.

You can talk about anything and do anything here, it's absolutely safe.

There are two banks downstairs, namely Shawn Bank and Ocean First Bank, which can be used for their capital turnover.

At the same time, this is still a hotel. Apart from the less beautiful scenery, the service is even better than that of a five-star hotel. Everything you need is provided.

It's not illegal, Peace Hotel provides it.

Illegal, provided by separate merchants.

After the visit, we went directly to Xinghui Nightclub, which was the highlight of the day.

Xinghui Nightclub is open 24 hours a day, come and play at any time, day and night!

Dim lights, passionate music, and a huge dance floor in the middle,

The dance floor was designed by Sean and is in the shape of a five-star, with an independent stage in the middle and at each of the five corners.

There are card tables all between the corners. This design makes the whole floor without corners. No matter where you sit, you can feel the infection wholeheartedly.

Beauties from all over the world dance striptease here.

Coquettish, charming.

Sailor, navy, OL, bunny girl, grass skirt...

Beauties wearing various uniforms will shuttle around to provide all customers with all the services they want!

Everything, service!

This is the paradise of desire, indulgence, happiness, and the Garden of Eden that makes people sink!

There is no need to hide yourself here, there is no need, there will be no reporters here, and no information will be leaked.

Of course, if you want to be more private, there is a circle of erected compartments around it.

They are all made of single-sided light-transmitting glass. You can't see the inside from the outside, but you can clearly see the outside from the inside.

However, after all, it is made of glass and there are no curtains or the like, so it still feels like it is exposed to the public eye.

Therefore, standing in the compartment and playing will give you a different kind of excitement...

Today there are no outsiders here. There is not much difference in status between everyone, so everyone is relaxed.

It can be said that Sean has gained some knowledge.

After all, I am still young...

If you are in good health, you don’t need to play so many tricks.

Playing from the first floor to the sixth floor, these guys will be amazed every time they arrive.

I was full of energy when I went up, and walked away holding on to the wall when I went downstairs...

He also praised Sean for being creative and good at playing.

Youth of the new era!

Individuals have their own hobbies and can play wherever they like.

But in the end, the most popular ones were 'Script Cannon' and 'Indian Adventure'.

These two games received the most critical acclaim.

After entertaining everyone and seeing everyone having a good time, Sean was completely relieved.

The Peace Hotel costs enough to build a skyscraper.

In order to ensure that everything ran smoothly, Sean stayed directly in the hotel, where there was a special room reserved for himself.

The first day was dedicated to hosting these big shots, and on the second day, word started to spread and it was officially opened to the outside world.

Sean specially found James Dolan and asked him to bring New York Knicks athletes to play. For the first time, Sean entertained them for free!

At this time, wages in the NBA were not high. Of course, this was compared to later generations. This year, Gorilla Ewing, the No. 1 pick selected by the Knicks, had a contract of more than $500,000 in his rookie season.

The reason why James wanted to bring these gangsters here was because Sean wanted to take advantage of the situation.

In the previous life, Gorilla Ewing contributed a lot to the fame of the Atlanta Golden Club. It was this guy who took the lead in publicity and attracted many NBA stars to flock to it, and the Golden Club became famous.

Moreover, these gangsters will go bankrupt sooner or later. Instead of spending their money elsewhere, they might as well spend it here. At least, Xinghui Nightclub will not let them get sick.

Sean made a special trip to meet these gangsters on the spot. Normally, he thought he was in pretty good shape, but in front of the gorilla, he really looked a little smaller.

The most ridiculous thing is that when choosing the fruit plate, the gorilla chose two petite and exquisite ones...

This made Sean look at him strangely.

I heard, I heard, that the future Shaquille O'Neal also likes petite ones.

Sean had to suspect that these giants encountered something unspeakable when they were growing up.

Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, instantly, Sean felt a little sympathetic to them.

As the reputation of Xinghui Nightclub as 'super fun' spreads, and everyone knows that it is extremely safe, business is on the rise.

Backed by the metropolis of New York, there is nothing else but a lot of rich people!

While ensuring safety, cleanliness and privacy, the number of guests picked up by the Peace Hotel has shown explosive growth.

Compared with the famous Gold Club in later generations, the Peace Hotel has better security and more entertainment options. You can watch an underground boxing match first and place a bet. After watching the boxing match, you can go to Xinghui Nightclub upstairs to do it.

Something you love to do.

After playing various tricks, you can rest in the hotel when you are tired. There are meals of all kinds of flavors. You can continue playing after you are full and full.

As long as you have money, you can live here forever and enjoy paradise.

It is a vehicle specially used for concealed pick-up and drop-off. It is not allowed to stop every day and is always busy with pick-up and drop-off tasks.

The Black Hawks that Sean left at the base in Newark have been requisitioned. This one is safer and faster...

For this reason, Sean had to urgently order 3 helicopters. Of course, this time they were serious civilian helicopters.

Cheap and quick to get the goods.

Half a month later, the entire Peace Hotel’s single-day turnover reached a terrifying 1.6 million yuan!

According to the calculations of the hotel management team hired by Sean, it is currently in an outbreak period and will fall back in the future. However, the hotel's own transaction function will show a growth trend.

The management team estimates that in the future, relying on the safe trading characteristics of New York and here, the number of customers received by the Peace Hotel every day will be around 700.

You must know that the entrance ticket to the Peace Hotel is only 500 US dollars. On average, no one spends less than 1,000 US dollars here every day. The annual turnover of the Peace Hotel will reach a terrifying 240 million yuan!

240 million, even if it is just the turnover, is terrifying enough.

Of course, hotel expenses are also very high.

The salary of hundreds of beauties alone is hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. Adding in high taxes, and considering the team, the Peace Hotel's net profit should be 15%.

Even so, the net profit for a year is still around 36 million!

It is worthy of the name of Golden Swallowing Cave.

In the future, this Peace Hotel will become a huge trap cow, providing a steady stream of power for Sean's industry.

Moreover, the above turnover does not include underground black boxing gambling.

After all, this is an illegal project.

If the black boxing betting aspect is removed and given to the contestants, and the gangs behind it share the profits equally, there will still be a net profit of about 50 million yuan a year.

This will replace fake wine and become another major source of black income for Sean.

This will greatly alleviate Sean's problem of insufficient funds on hand. Of course, it will also be troublesome to clean the money.

There is a limit to the amount of money the gym can afford each year, and Sean must quickly find an industry that can absorb as much money as possible.

I really don’t do whatever I want. I do whatever industry I think of. It’s just because I have no choice!

Isn’t it just to make money when I started a gym?

Who knows, it will become more and more popular in the future...

There is so much money to clean, what can I do?

I am also very helpless!

In order to think of a good way to repay money, Sean really racked his brains.

Sean simply gave up on the movie. If the quantity was too small, it would be boring. If the quantity was too large, the theater commission would be too high, making it uneconomical.

He also gave up the idea of ​​starting some virtual business with X Security.

It is best to do international trade, so it will be more difficult for the IRS to investigate.

However, before Sean could come up with a good idea, something happened again in Cartagena.

"At the beginning, we really beat up a few groups who were secretly poisoning, and we made a lot of money, seven to eight million, but later on, these guys learned to be smarter." Jeff was a little distressed.

said.

"How do you say that?" Sean asked casually while lying on the beach chair wearing sunglasses.

"These guys started not to ship goods within the scope of Cartagena. The coastline here in Colombia is too long, and there are not many goods. It weighs dozens or hundreds of pounds at a time. You can just find a beach and put a boat down and go.

After the goods arrive at sea and are then transported to the big ship, we can't go out to Cartagena to enforce the law!" Jeff cursed, "A bunch of damn guys, they are too cunning."

"If you're not cunning, you're not a drug addict." Sean snorted, "What about our trading center? Has there been more business recently?"

"It's a bit more. After all, it's safe and secure, but the proportion of transactions is still too small. Most of them are leaves. The amount of leaves is large, so it's not convenient to trade secretly."

"How do you think we can get these guys to trade with us honestly?"

"Unless we can attack their maritime transportation channels, it will be very difficult."

"Crack down on maritime transportation channels..." Sean frowned and pondered for a while, "It's not impossible."

Sean picked up the coconut water next to him and took a sip, and then slowly said: "The routes from the Caribbean to the United States are fixed. Get a few gunboats to rob them directly at sea!"

"Ah, robbery!?" Jeff looked at Sean in surprise, "This matter can't be hidden. If something is illegal, it will affect us."

"What does pirates plundering ships have to do with us?" Sean looked at Jeff with a puzzled look on his face, "Well, I can't say it doesn't matter."

(In the security expansion part, don’t mention who copied it. In the previous book "Hong Kong Movie Syndicate", a security company was established, pirates were trained, and warships and aircraft carriers were purchased)

"That's right. It wasn't hundreds of years ago. There are still pirates in the Caribbean now." Jeff nodded in agreement.

"When there are pirates, there must be escorts. We can take on some escort missions." Sean said to himself.

Jeff:???

"Where are the pirates?" Jeff said dumbfounded.

"Why not? If I say there are pirates, he will have pirates!" Sean sneered.

"This is the Caribbean, the back garden of the United States. Don't you know how chaotic and poor it is here?" Sean glanced at Jeff sideways.

There are shootings every day in America, let alone America’s back garden.

Everyone knows that there is chaos in Palestine, that Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, and most of Africa are in chaos.

But in fact, places like Iraq are just okay now, and they are not the most chaotic. There is a place that is even more chaotic, but the media does not report it, or rarely reports it.

In the 1980s, most of the ten most chaotic areas were in the Caribbean.

First: Honduras.

Second: Jamaica.

Third: Venezuela.

Fourth: Colombia.

Fifth: Guatemala (this name is very dangerous...)

Sixth: Belize

Seventh: Republic of Trinidad and Tobago

10th: Haiti

I'm sorry that I didn't make it all into the top ten...

Even 40 years later, these places are still in chaos, but the media does not report it.

After all, how can there be poor security around the world's police...

Are you questioning whether American fathers treat their children badly?

Top 10 countries with the highest murder rates

First: Honduras, a popular vacation destination with a homicide rate of 103.9 murders per 100,000 people and 84% of victims killed by gunfire.

Second: Venezuela, one of the major oil exporters, with a homicide rate of 57.6 murders per 100,000 people and 90% of victims killed by gunfire.

Third: Belize, with a homicide rate of 44.7 people per 100,000, 69% of the victims were killed by gunfire, and homicides are particularly frequent in urban areas of Belize.

Fourth: El Salvador, with a homicide rate of 43.9 people per 100,000, 77% of victims died from gunshot wounds, and more than 20,000 of El Salvador’s 6 million residents are gang members.

(PS: They are all core members, not those little gangsters.)

Fifth: Guatemala, homicide rate, 39.9 people per 100,000 were murdered, 86% of victims were killed by gunfire.

Sixth: Jamaica: Homicide rate: 39.3 people per 100,000 are murdered, 70% of victims die from gunfire, murder and violent crimes are particularly frequent in big cities such as the capital, Kingston.

Seventh: Colombia: Homicide rate: 38.8 murders per 100,000, 80% of victims died by gunfire.

Ninth: The Bahamas, with a homicide rate of 32.1 people per 100,000, 75% of victims died from gunfire, armed robbery, rape and murder are common here.

Eighth and tenth are Swaziland and South Africa in Africa.

The United States expressed its shame that the Caribbean region was not included in the top ten.

However, if we move to the top 20, countries in the Caribbean such as Guyana, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago can still be included on the list.

so……

"It's not that they don't want to be pirates. It's better than starving to death, right? They lack the ships to be pirates." Sean explained: "Well, there is no shortage of weapons, just guns!"

"In addition, key factors such as information and technology are lacking."

Jeff:???

"What does it mean to lack pirate information and technology?" Jeff asked with a twitching corner of his mouth.

"For example, how to lock the target ship."

"For example, how to destroy or block the positioning system on the ship after capturing it."

"For example, how to ask for ransom afterwards."

"But, we can provide these technologies to each other." Sean stretched out his hand and gestured: "Especially the ransom transaction channel."

"This is impossible. If we provide a ransom channel, then everyone will know that we are behind it."

"Who said we provide a channel for pirates?" Sean rolled his eyes, "We provide hijacked ship owners, they can hire us to help them redeem the ship, ensuring that they will not pay, and then ship or cargo

Destroyed!"

"They begged us, and they have to thank us!" Sean chuckled.

"There are more than a dozen bases of our military in the entire Caribbean, how can any pirate survive?" Jeff still didn't believe it.

"You are still young!" Sean shook his head.

There are also US military bases around Somalia, but this does not delay the development of Somali piracy.

In later generations, this pirate business also turned into a huge industrial chain.

There are specialized angel investors, specialized lawyers, banks, and ports to provide professional services to pirates.

Make money, don’t be shabby!

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now." Sean waved his hand, "That will happen in the future. I will definitely take a bite of the pirate business, but before that, we still need to get rid of these damn drug dealers."

"We, X Security, should also have our own maritime power, build a destroyer or something for fun." As he said this, Sean rubbed his hands with excitement on his face.

As for boys, who doesn’t like passion?

Blame Fang Qiu!

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't sit still.

"The business of your 'street committee' needs to be expanded. In so many coastal cities in Colombia, the security situation is very chaotic. As an upright and noble person, how can you just watch and remain indifferent!"

"Yes or no!"

"Expand your business and grow the 'street committee' that serves the common people wholeheartedly. This is your current focus."

"For those sneaky drug dealers."

"Just keep an eye on them and leave the rest to the pirates!"

"Okay, that's it, let's go back." With that, Sean stood up in a hurry without further delay.

Jeff looked at Sean in confusion. He still doesn't understand how drug criminals can be equated with destroyers.

What is this?

"That's right!" Sean suddenly turned around and looked at Jeff, "Get me a villa by the sea next to the base. It's too inconvenient to live in the base every time I come here. Cartagena is also my territory, and there's not even a villa.

I don’t even have a manor, so I’m losing my status!”

"Oh, okay, okay." Jeff nodded quickly.

Sean went back, hurriedly booked a flight and called Norris.

Norris is still capable and is a talent that Dongchang urgently needs.

Sean hurried to Miami by plane. He wanted to find Colonel Joel Ronald to buy some military waste...

This time it’s real waste!

In Miami, Norris had already contacted a local professional team to rent a villa before flying over. When Norris arrived with people, the professionals had already arranged the party scene.

After checking it, Norris was very satisfied and immediately ordered several beauties flown in from Hollywood to get ready.

Joël Ronald was in for a big surprise when he arrived here!

As a colonel, Joel Ronald is well-informed, but when it comes to playing, even though he is based in Florida, and even though there are many beauties in Miami, there are some things that he has never played before!

Simply drinking is no fun. Sean suggested playing cards. If you lose, take off your clothes. If you don't have to take off your clothes, just do 'that' and 'that'...

Just for a moment,

Don't rush!

The long night...

Joelle Ronald had a great time.

Until noon the next day, Joel Ronald still had some weakness in his waist when he got up.

Only then did Sean pull him and tell him the reason for his visit.

"What?" Joel Ronald looked at Sean in surprise, "You want to buy a warship!?"

"Don't be ridiculous, this thing is very expensive. Even if it is scrapped, the annual maintenance cost will be shocking."

"To gain a foothold in the Caribbean, we must have some means." Sean said with a smile.

"Haha." He didn't believe Sean's nonsense, but, "Forget it, I don't care what you think, but what level do you want to buy?"

"The Keeling-class destroyer, I know that this one has already entered the scrapping sequence."

The Keeling-class destroyer is an improved version of the American Allen Sumner-class destroyer in the 1940s. A total of 105 ships of this class were built from 1945 to 1949.

After the end of World War II, a large number of ships were reclassified as DDE, DDK, DDR and EDD. Among them, the "Kiat" was changed to DDG and became the first guided missile destroyer in the United States.

In the 1960s, many Keeling-class aircraft were modified, and they were all retired in the 1980s.

Since the early 1970s, a large part of them have been refurbished and modified and sold to the navies of South Korea, Turkey, the Gulf and other countries...

These warships sold were gradually phased out after more than 20 years of use. In fact, after 20 years, most countries will not have such advanced warships.

Technically it's really awesome.

The other part was simply used as a target ship and sunk directly. It must be said that the United States is rich!

Of course, this sinking... also has something to say.

Among them, from 1971 to 1983, Wanwan purchased fourteen ships of this class. When purchasing these warships, some were equipped with Israeli 'Gabriel' anti-ship missiles, and some were equipped with American-made AGMs. -84 anti-ship missiles.

The warships of the beautiful country are quite advanced, and the prices are also very good.

Wanwan called it "Fourteen Yangs", and they were all named after places with the character "Yang" in the rabbit, such as "Shen"*. At that time, Wanwan was the richest, and he was very proud of the rabbit. for a while.

Keat guided missile destroyer:

Displacement: 2425 tons (full load 2464 tons)

Hull length: 119.02 meters

Hull width: 12.60 meters

Draft: 4.42 meters

Speed: 35 knots

Crew establishment: 336 people

Shipborne weapons main gun: 2 Mk32 twin 127mm naval guns

Secondary battery: 2 Mk50 twin 76mm cannons

Missile: 1 double-arm Beagle anti-aircraft missile launcher, 40 bombs

Torpedoes: 2 triple 324 mm torpedo tubes

In 1969, the Keate was decommissioned and was sunk as a target ship on June 11, 1970.

This Keeling-class destroyer has a small displacement and relatively fast speed. The most important thing is that it has a mature modification plan, and there is an apron at the stern of the ship. It was originally used to park anti-submarine helicopters. After modification, it can also be used to park anti-submarine helicopters. My own Blackhawk.

After Sean bought it, he could have it refurbished and modified in Boston. He could install Beagle anti-aircraft missiles or AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles.

If the modified Keeling-class destroyer is compared with the Colombian Navy...

Approximately equivalent to Colombia around 2050...

Maybe the navy in 2050 will not have such advanced naval ships.

It is no exaggeration at all. 40 years later, in 2020, the Colombian Navy’s most advanced main surface warship is the ‘Admiral Padilla-class’ small frigate.

Admiral Padilla Class

Full load displacement: 2464 tons at full load

Hull length: 95 meters

Hull width: 11 meters

Draft: 3.52 meters

Speed: 27 knots

Crew size: 92 people

Shipborne weapons main gun: 2 Mk32 twin 127mm naval guns

Secondary battery: 1 "Otto Melara" 76mm gun, 1 40mm gun

Missile: 1 French-made Exocet anti-ship missile, 8 bombs prepared

Torpedoes: 2 triple 324 mm torpedo tubes

This main battleship is one size smaller than the Keeling class modified after World War II, and its firepower is completely incomparable.

French Flying Fish:

Weight: 670kg

Warhead: 165kg

Range: 65 kilometers

American AGM-84 Harpoon:

Weight: 1110kg

Warhead: 221kg

Range: 93-315 kilometers, depending on the launch platform

If we put it now in 1985...

Be more conservative and low-key, and the Keeling class can take on most of the navy alone.

"The Keeling class." Joël Ronald pondered for a moment and said, "The Keeling class destroyer does have very good performance."

"That's right, instead of using it as a target ship and blowing it up, why not sell it to me, right?" Sean spread his hands.

"The key is that there is currently no precedent for private individuals purchasing warships!"

"There has never been a private purchase, it exploded, it exploded!" Sean pointed outside.

"The target ship? It exploded!" Joel Ronald's eyes widened.

This isn't a gun or anything like that, it's such a big warship placed on the sea!

I'm blind, I can't see!

It will definitely be discovered, okay!

Joel Ronald thinks Sean is crazy.

"Then it will be completely scrapped and sold at the price of scrap steel!" Sean considered for a moment, "Well, it will be sold to a scrap recycling and treatment plant. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will set up one."

"You are simply joking, who would believe it!" Joel Ronald said, somewhat dumbfounded.

"No matter whether others believe it or not, I believe it anyway!" Sean chuckled: "Who believes it? I believe it, you believe it, the military believes it, that's enough!"

"Who is going to investigate?" Sean chuckled, "To put it bluntly, who doesn't know that the military is helping to transport drugs, how can they investigate!?"

"You..." Joel Ronald hesitated.

"Find more people, let's all carry it together!" Sean continued to confuse, "Besides, there is no precedent for Congress to interfere with military matters. MacArthur did even more excessive things in Japan back then, so why not participate in the presidential election?

It’s over!”

"I'm not really lying. Well, the scrap steel recycling company must be real!" Sean thought for a while and said, "I will definitely start this company, and the business will be very big!"

"No, are you serious? What's the use of this thing?" Joel Ronald looked at Sean's serious look and was a little confused.

"Sell it. Although scrap steel can no longer be made into high-quality steel, ordinary quality steel is still fine. Sell it to that big country in the east. I know they need it, and the demand is huge." As he said this, Sean frowned.

Wrinkling slightly, he touched his chin with his hand and began to count.

Rabbit's demand for steel in the next 20 years or so will be beyond imagination, and this is a sure-profit deal.

Moreover, I happen to have a waste incineration power plant, and I can use an electric furnace to make steel.

If I remember correctly, electric furnace steelmaking uses scrap steel as the main raw material to produce high-quality carbon structural steel, tool steel and alloy steel.

This kind of smelting has low production costs and high labor productivity. It can also digest scrap steel and recycle it, which is beneficial to environmental protection.

Yes, you can also use the banner of environmental protection to get certain preferential policies from the state government!

Perfect!

I'm a fucking genius!

At this time, Sean completely forgot what he had promised Monroe Diff.

Who is Monroe Deaf?

Do I recognize him?

What is random investment?

Is the mind of a genius beyond the imagination of mortals!?

joke!

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Joel Ronald saw Sean lost his mind and thought that this guy didn't want to buy a warship again.

That’s a business worth hundreds of millions!

When he thought that those green little cuties were probably going to leave him under his own advice, he suddenly felt heartbroken.

Angina!

There is no such thing that cannot be cured with millions of dollars.

No, you are speaking. I am so scared if you don’t speak...

Isn’t it okay if I don’t object anymore?
