Chapter 329 Hai D Phase II Project

(I was talking about saving manuscripts, but I never got around to it. I got up at noon, ate, washed clothes, watched my children do their homework, and prepared code words at around 2 o'clock. But my father asked me to go down to work. The typhoon the day before yesterday soaked the underground lines, so I have to put them in

My brother-in-law came to decorate the wall, and I went to help. I was sweating profusely. I was busy until 5 p.m., and invited my brother-in-law to a barbecue. Oh, and his fiancée. After eating, he came back, took a shower and put the children to bed. It was already 9 o'clock.

...)

(I didn’t tell Dad, the lost coding time was enough to hire a worker to do it. Well, Dad just wants to be happy...)

…

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

A guy wearing a cowboy hat looked around, opened his mouth with rotten teeth, and a rough and arrogant voice said, "Who else!"

There was silence in the police station, and everyone turned around silently and started working seriously!

The man took off his cowboy hat, turned around and pointed at a woman sitting over there, "Such a beautiful woman was caught here just because she sent a note!"

"Is there any more royal law?"

"Is there still a law?"

"You, the director, have to give our Crocodile Gang some face, otherwise he won't be able to be the director!"

…

The current situation in Thailand is similar. If we switch to Cambodia or Myanmar, whoever has the final say depends on who has more guns, more people, and more money!

A few grenades made the Thai police understand the truth. The water here is too deep and we cannot control it!

One person died and another was injured, which is enough to give face to the shipping companies and to the British.

The matter has come to this, if you have the ability, then you can handle the matter yourself!

Of course, everyone knows this internally, but the external statement is: no criminal evidence was found on these people. According to the rules, they could have been detained for 24 hours, but currently all the police force is focused on arresting and attacking the police station.

So, people were released in advance.

The attackers at the police station have nothing to do with these people!!

Yes, that's it!

…

"Still negotiating. I hope the price can be lowered to save some expenses for the company...Yes, yes, it will be done right away." After hanging up the phone, the British guy who had been tough in front of Neil was soaked with sweat.

.

He didn't even dare to tell the company about his dirty tricks.

Of course, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his operation at first!

It's a British tradition.

What he wanted to do was to tell the company after the matter was settled and the rude Americans returned all the ships and people they had plundered!

In this way, he can use this resume to get a promotion and salary increase, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life!

At least, the original plan was good, but the American named Neil was too rude and not a gentleman at all!

At this moment, the British guy was really anxious.

The police are useless, and the other 7 companies have also fished out people, although they spent a lot of money.

However, there is still no trace of the British freighter he was responsible for, as well as the tens of millions of goods on board and about 20 crew members!

Seeing that the time given by the pirates is coming up, if he can't get it right, he will not get a promotion and a salary increase to marry Bai Fumei... Because his private decisions and concealment caused heavy losses to the company and casualties, he will be legally responsible!

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. This time the British had no idea of ​​negotiating before.

"I want to see Mr. Neil."

"Excuse me, do you have an appointment?" At the reception desk, the beautiful twin sisters looked at the British guy in front of them.

This guy was dragged out of the door yesterday, and they were there that day.

"Beautiful lady, it's a very important thing, business, a business worth hundreds of thousands, you are sure to ask these things, if this business is not allowed because of your problems..."

Before the British guy could finish speaking, the twin sister asked again: "Sir, if you don't have an appointment, please leave your message and come back after making an appointment."

"Me!" The British guy's face turned red with anger. He was a noble British gentleman, working for a big company, not one of those tramps, and he had never received such treatment.

But before he could get angry, two strong men walked towards him. After just one look, the British man subconsciously covered his buttocks. The buttocks were swollen and still hurt.

Don’t be surprised, it’s because it bumped when it was dragged on the ground, it’s nothing weird!

"Neil, Mr. Neal, I'm here to negotiate. I agree to the terms!" Seeing the two big men approaching, the British man had no choice but to pull his neck and yelled loudly.

This voice startled everyone. The two company security guards did not expect this guy to be so out of touch. This made them feel very humiliated, so they rushed up to arrest him directly.

"No, no, I won't leave, I want to see Neil, I want to see Neil, I agree, I agree, I can't leave, I will go to jail, woo woo woo!" The person was dragged out again, Britain

The guy suddenly broke down and cried loudly.

In fact, he had already received orders from Neil, so he knew that the British guy would come back.

He dragged the man to the safe passage, kicked open the door, and pushed him directly down the stairs, watching the British guy tumbling down the stairs with a "dong", "dong", "dong" and "dong".

It was the same thing last time, my butt was swollen.

But within ten minutes, the British guy crawled back again, crying loudly at the door.

This is Thailand, there is no point in calling the police.

Time waits for no one, no matter what, he must make Neil change his mind immediately.

This guy is not a bad person. Even if there is no company behind it, he does not want to cause the deaths of more than 20 people because of his own reasons.

As a noble Englishman, in the civilized desert of Southeast Asia, he just habitually demonstrated the abilities of a gentleman of the British Empire.

There’s really no bad intentions!

It is unimaginable how guilty he would be if those people died because of him. He might live in the shadows for the rest of his life, and the Lord would not forgive him.

He cried so heartbreakingly that the beauties at the reception desk began to pity him, but they couldn't do much to help him, they just sent some tissues.

Man, cry...

Until a pair of black leather shoes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The leather shoes were shiny and his face was reflected in them.

Slowly raising his head, Neil's face came into view again. The British man became excited and said, "Mr. Neil, Mr. Neil, I agree, I agree with everything."

"This is not good, I might be colluding with pirates."

"No, no, absolutely not."

"Ha, is it really possible to do anything?" Neil had a weird smile on his face, squatted down, looked at the British guy up and down, and stretched out one hand to gently touch the British guy's cheek.

British guy: "..."

Somewhat reluctantly, a little tangled, the British man's expression changed, and finally he stretched out his hand to cover Neil's hand and rubbed it gently on his face.

There was a part of confusion in the expression, a part of relief...

Neil: "..."

Withdrawing his hand suddenly, Neil looked down at the disappointed and stunned British guy with an ugly face.

Damn it, you are right when you say that British people are all rotten!

Wang Defa!!

He just wanted to try it!

"Let him pay!" Neil walked to the reception desk and shouted, then took the tissue and frantically intervened. Still feeling uncomfortable, he turned and walked towards the office to wash and disinfect properly.

Neil never thought about really arguing. He was a little mentally disturbed, but he was not stupid. Everyone was seeking wealth, not misfortune.

Sean and his fleet were really bombed and sunk a British freighter, which really cost the shipping company tens of millions. The other party had to fight Neil forever.

Neil kept Sean's teachings in mind and couldn't save time and go through the process, so a "local" person still came to the door and sent a note.

It’s just that the transfer has to wait for a time difference.

The British man waited anxiously and kept looking at his watch. The time had passed the last time set by the pirates. When the headquarters called to inquire, he only said that the communication had been completed and it would take time to release him.

In fact, he was so anxious that he called the reception desk of Neil's company several times and only got the result that he was waiting for news.

After a full three hours, just when the British guy was also breaking down and looking for Neil for help, he finally received a call from the crew. When he heard the captain's voice, the British guy fell to the ground softly.

So exciting!

…

Things won't go away that easily!

Natuna Island was robbed by pirates, Indonesia was embarrassed, and they would not let it go.

In recent times, hundreds of ships have been robbed, especially these eight companies recently, with ransoms as high as US$800,000 each!

After the hostages were released, first the officials and then the private detectives repeatedly questioned them about the entire abduction process.

Almost everyone got the same result. The pirates were very sophisticated in their tactics. They cut off the communication on the merchant ship as soon as possible. They were fierce but not violent. They could ensure safety by giving up resistance. They covered their heads the whole time when taking the hostages. They had no idea what was going on around them.

Condition.

The pirates are all natives of Southeast Asia and speak basically no language.

Until it was finally released, based on the coordinates and the time of release, all parties calculated the possible hiding range of the pirates.

It's just that the scope is too large, and it's either in a war zone or a poverty-stricken area, and two of them are in mountainous areas. Unless the troops are sent out, and they must be very sophisticated, there is no way to detect them.

To sum up, the only way I can think of is to put some manpower and firepower on the ship. It would be great if we can catch pirates by chance.

…

"I didn't expect you to make such a big deal...take it step by step, fuck!" Sean was lying on the beach in Colombia, holding a satellite phone in his hand.

Neil just laughed.

"You've made too much trouble. Forget it, it's not without its benefits." Sean sighed and said, "The pirate plan can proceed to the second step and start the era of national piracy!"

"As the name suggests, it turns all nearby coastal residents into pirates. There is a saying that the law does not blame everyone, and this is what it means.",

"The purpose of asking you to hold training courses was to cultivate a group of experienced elite pirates, but in fact, you cannot always count on them to rob merchant ships."

"Why?" Neil asked in confusion.

"After a few robberies and getting rich, can they still be as ruthless as before?" Sean snorted, "The people in those places are very poor and have short ambitions. A deposit of one or two million US dollars is enough for them to survive in the local area.

If you are in the spotlight, have all the majesty, and have no worries for the rest of your life, with three to five million, you are the top rich man, who is willing to bring people out to fight and kill, without fear that a stray bullet will kill you?"

"It's not like there's nothing, right, head." Neil chuckled.

Sean: "..."

"I'm talking about normal people, don't quibble with me!" Sean cursed before continuing to explain: "The poor have tactics, the rich have conscience, that's pretty much what it's like."

This sentence comes from "The White-Haired Girl", and there are many similar sentences, such as "Poor people tend to be cruel, rich people tend to be gentle", "Poor mountains and bad water breed unruly people, green waters and green mountains produce saints" and so on.

It’s already very difficult for poor people to live. They don’t have time to think about good and evil. Don’t poor people want to take their sick parents to see a doctor?

They want to, but they don’t have the money!

When you are rich and don't have to worry about food and drink, you will have more leisure to think about good things.

Of course, this is not the truth. It is just a common situation. There is no shortage of special cases.

"After a few times, when you have money, the bad breath in normal people's chests will dissipate, and they just want to lie down and enjoy life. Only when they are poor can they be desperate!" Sean continued.

If we can’t raise wages for workers, if we can’t make them all afford houses, drive cars, go to school, afford medical treatment, and be satisfied with everything, most of them will choose to lie down...

People are always lazy rather than hardworking in their bones.

Expert behavior, the expert is responsible, and the author must not be affected.

We are afraid that wages will be high, working hours will be short, and we will lose the price advantage of the world's processing factories, but we also hope to have more children and maintain our population advantage... Isn't this a contradiction?

(Ahem, let’s get back to the topic, don’t worry anymore…)

"So, the pirates need to work on sinking the ship." Sean began to analyze to Neil, if the pirate business can be made bigger and stronger, keep the firepower and popularity.

"Those people you train, their greatest role is to serve as role models, as sparks, and to spread downwards!"

"This is like a pyramid. You only have the top, and they are the next level. Let them spread their experience, lease weapons and ships to those at the bottom, and let them rob!"

"If you don't rob the ship or the cargo, just kidnap the people on the ship and bring them back, then imprison them and report them to the police. They don't need to take care of the rest."

"Those shipping companies will not give up their hijacked employees, which will put the company into panic. Many people will resign for the sake of their lives. Therefore, they will definitely pay the ransom, but not too much, which exceeds their psychological bottom line. A single business,

$500,000 is a more appropriate price."

"You have to charge a certain amount of service fees for these ransoms, and the transfer company has to charge a certain amount of service fees. In the hands of the pirates you trained, it will still be 70%."

"As for those at the bottom who do the work, just pay 10,000 to 20,000 yuan for each business, not too much, so that they can live a good life, but not too much to prevent them from slacking off."

"Let those pirates get the money and then expand their own force, form their own evil forces, bribe local officials and so on."

"You can sell weapons again."

"As for the low-level people who took action, even if they are caught, it will be fine. There is no clear law against pirates in the world. As long as they do not kill people indiscriminately, their safety is still guaranteed. Of course, it doesn't matter if they are caught. At most, they will be leaked.

Where is the village?"

"They all go to sea to be pirates and go ashore to work for the people. The whole village is doing this. There is absolutely nothing the international community can do to pluck out these pirates and you."

Sean understands this very well. This is how Somali pirates will gradually become active in the future. It is not only villagers who kidnap crew members of passing merchant ships, but even the Somali Navy often does this kind of thing.

According to the "Global Half-Year Piracy Attack Report 2019", in the first half of last year, global piracy activities were still frequent, with a total of 94 piracy security incidents. The attack locations were mainly concentrated in the Gulf of Aden, the Gulf of Guinea, the Philippines, the Strait of Malacca, and Venezuela.

The total ransom payment amounted to US$150 million.

There is currently no good way to deal with pirates internationally. The countries rich in pirates are very poor and war-prone. Ordinary people cannot afford to eat, so they rely on being pirates to make a living.

Most countries have nothing to do with them and cannot send warships to escort them all the time.

Your country has massacred pirates, and those endless pirates will be reborn specifically to target your country's merchant ships, blow up ships, and kill people!

Of course, Lao Maozi is an exception. This is not because of the issue of the fighting nation. Lao Maozi, who travels across the Eurasian continent, rarely uses the Gulf of Aden and Malacca...

A small number of ships will retaliate wildly if they are robbed, and pirates are also afraid of them.

Well, the world's police, the largest country, the United States, is often robbed. It sends a large army to destroy pirates, and then... Black Hawk falls.

I became honest after that.

Even if it means spending some money, spend some money.

It saves a lot more than sending troops.

"But remember, the scale needs to be controlled. Depending on the number of passing ships, the size of the ransom market should be controlled at US$100-150 million. Too much can easily cause unnecessary trouble."

"As for the pirates you have trained, they will not break away from your cooperation in order to have a stable way to make money. They can ensure their safety even if they do not go to the front line. This is a plan that benefits many parties. You only need to make it clear and promote it.

There’s nothing wrong with getting up.”

"Don't worry, I have always been very clear in my speech, and they have never objected." Neil smiled and replied, "Well, those who objected are dead, and the rest will naturally not object."

"And after they take root in the local area and become an indispensable force in the local area, your influence will also expand. If you want to imitate Jeff, it is not impossible to control the drug outflow market. There are still some prospects."

"After all, there is the Golden Triangle behind you." At this point, Sean was dumbfounded.

He really didn't think so at first.

A golden triangle, a silver triangle...

It can only be said that the geographical location is unique and everything is God’s arrangement.

Neil is a devout believer!

"I have a little problem here." Neil felt that the arrangement was perfect, but "I had people distribute a kind of flag before, and anyone who has been robbed will get it."

Neil explained.

"You learn so fast!" Sean was speechless for a while, "It's nothing, don't delay things. After those people below kidnap people and come back, the shipping companies will find you to help redeem people. They will definitely come after they were robbed before.

You have paid the money here, and there are records to check. If it is correct, the flag will be collected, the message will be passed on, and the person will be released."

"You should still give bonuses to the people below. It's not much money anyway, and I don't know anyone below. Don't involve the people below with this kind of trouble."

Neil: Got it, everything makes sense!

"Sustainability, robbery, it's pretty good." Sean gave one last compliment before hanging up the phone.

It would be good for Neil to give it a try.

Only the existence of these evil pirates can show the importance of the righteous Umbrella Company fleet.

If any company is desperate at this time, or the country, even the British, can provide money to find a protective umbrella to encircle and suppress the pirates.

I am a soldier and you are a bandit.

I am righteous and you are evil.

Sean won't be merciful anyway.

What is this called?

These are called three ways to eat pirates!

High-end ingredients often only require the simplest...

…

"500 million!" Warner's Bill Sarnoff said, staring at Sean.

"You're fucking crazy, aren't you!" Sean rolled his eyes and cursed.

"490 million!"

Sean pointed at Bill with a speechless expression.

"4.8!"

"Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you up now!" Sean gritted his teeth.

"When negotiating, you have to ask for a price!" Bill spread his hands, "It's a business worth hundreds of millions, almost hundreds or even tens of millions."

"I'll give you one last chance to organize your words!" Sean was so angry.

"250 million!" Bill also said simply.

"Test me, am I right? I agreed, but you think I'm hiding something?" Three days later, at the same place, Sean met Bill Sarnoff again.

"Would it be interesting to play this with me?"

"There are no new or old methods, as long as they are easy to use." Bill Sarnoff admitted in a bachelor's manner.

"Spicy than!" After rubbing his teeth, using his sword and gun, and fighting with open fire, Sean really couldn't do anything.

"Okay 2.5, I want it!" Sean gritted his teeth and agreed.

"We want to retain part of the copyright!" Bill Sarnoff immediately pushed forward. Business negotiations have always been like this!

Try it without losing money...

"Get out!" Sean scolded directly: "What I want is a complete acquisition!"

"Some of the rights to Superman are no longer in our hands."

"If you don't talk nonsense to me, what does that have to do with you? Don't talk nonsense and play tricks on me. Are you sure?" Sean's eyes widened, and he was filled with murderous aura, as if he was ready to beat someone up at any time.

Beat him up, beat him up, even Murdoch!

The worst case scenario is losing money!

"OK, OK, listen to me." Bill Sarnoff was immediately frightened.

This negotiation is different from what he has experienced. In the past, negotiations of hundreds of millions could not be reached in less than half a year. Sean has only a few days here...

The key is to be generous with your money.

"The only valuable thing left in DC is IP. The comic book market can never recover. We all know this." Bill Sarnoff looked at Sean seriously and said: "Mr. Sean's talent, Hollywood

Everyone knows it, so we have a necessary requirement, shares."

"What we propose is to establish a new company, with both parties holding shares and developing it together!"

"Why do I have to share my talent with you? Why do I have such a big face?" Sean leaned on his seat and looked at each other with disdain.

"We have IP!"

"IP is just garbage in your hands, it's nothing!"

"We have IP!"

"But you will only lose money if you shoot!"

"We have IP!"

Sean: "..."
