America’s Big Hero

Chapter 197 Destroyer

In three days, Sean sent out hundreds of invitations.

Everyone in New Jersey high society, including politicians, including Governor Benny.

New York's cheap brother, sister, Robert, Marvin, Bush Jr., and James' second- and third-generation playboys.

The underground forces in New Jersey naturally wanted to come to support them, and Xiao En, the five major families in New York, also sent invitations. Other than that, only the old man Huang received the invitation.

It’s not that no one has raised the question of whether it’s inappropriate for those gangsters to appear on the same occasion as the rich and politicians, but this point was rejected by Sean.

No one in the underground forces in New Jersey dared to mess around. The five major families in New York had a close relationship with politicians and businessmen. Sean would never invite those brainless gangs.

Three days passed in a flash.

At night, Newark is close to Jersey City, an island in the middle of the river, and luxury cars pour in one after another.

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

Sean bought 40 luxury cars of various colors with a huge investment. These cars are specially used to receive those public figures.

Too many people know their own car, which is inconvenient. Sean has considered the privacy issue very well, and no one knows about the car pick-up and drop-off.

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

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

A small number of people who have never been here come with friends and are introduced by someone.

After being surprised, there is only one feeling, how safe it is!

The privacy is too good, it is very suitable for public figures like them to play.

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

The beautiful waitresses dressed in various colors will take them to visit the fully enclosed buildings on all sides, especially the rooms below for rent.

Here, you can talk about anything and do anything, absolutely safe.

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

At the same time, this is still a hotel. Apart from the not-so-beautiful scenery, the service is even better than that of a five-star hotel. You can get what you want.

If it is not illegal, it will be provided by the Peace Hotel.

If it is illegal, it will be provided by a separate merchant.

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

Xinghui Nightclub is open 24 hours a day, when to come and when to play, there is no day or night!

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

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

There are card tables between the corners. This design makes the entire first floor have no corners. No matter where you sit, you can feel infected with your whole body.

Beautiful girls from all over the world will strip here.

Coquettish, seductive.

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

Beauties in various uniforms will shuttle around and 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!

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

Of course, if you want to be more private, you can also have a framed compartment around it.

All are made of single-sided light-transmitting glass, the inside cannot be seen from the outside, but the outside can be clearly seen from the inside.

However, it is made of glass after all, and there is no such thing as curtains, so there will still be a feeling of being exposed to the public's view.

So, standing in the compartment to play, there will be a different kind of stimulation...

Today, there are no outsiders here, and there is not much difference in status between everyone, and they are all open.

It can be regarded as an increase in Sean's knowledge.

After all, I am still young...

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

From the first floor to the sixth floor, every floor will make these guys amazed.

When you go up, you are full of energy, and when you go downstairs, you walk against the wall...

He didn't forget to praise Sean for being creative and able to play.

Youth of the new age!

Individuals have personal hobbies, and they can play wherever they like.

But in the end, "Script Cannon" and "Indian Adventure" are welcome.

These two games received the most critical acclaim.

After entertaining everyone, seeing everyone having fun, Sean was completely relieved.

The cost of this Peace Hotel is enough to build a skyscraper.

In order to ensure that everything ran smoothly, Sean stayed directly at the hotel, and there was a special room here for himself.

The first day was dedicated to entertaining these big shots, and the news spread on the second day that it was officially opened to the public.

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

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

The reason why James brought these gangsters over was because Sean wanted to take advantage of it.

Gorilla Ewing's contribution to the fame of the Atlanta Golden Club in the previous life is not insignificant. It was this guy who took the lead in publicizing and attracting a lot of NBA stars, and the Golden Club became famous.

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

Xiao En deliberately met these old blacks on the spot. He usually thinks he is in good shape, but in front of the gorillas, he is indeed a little smaller.

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

This couldn't help but make Xiao En's eyes look weird.

I heard, I heard that the future Shaquille O'Neill also likes petite and small ones.

Sean had to wonder what unspeakable things happened to these giants when they were developing.

Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, in an instant, Sean felt a little sympathetic to them.

As the reputation of Xinghui Nightclub as "super fun" spread, and after everyone knew that it was extremely safe, the business showed a linear upward trend.

Backed by the metropolis of New York, there is nothing else here, except that there are many rich people!

Under the condition of ensuring safety, cleanliness and concealment, 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 is safer and has more tricks to play. You can watch an underground boxing match first and place a bet. After watching the boxing match, you can go upstairs to the Xinghui Nightclub to do it Something to do.

After playing all kinds of tricks, you can rest in the restaurant when you are tired. There are meals of various tastes, and you can continue to play if you are full.

As long as you have money, you can live here all the time and enjoy it like a paradise.

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

The Black Hawks that Sean left at Newark's base have all been requisitioned, this one is safer and faster...

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

Cheap, fast enough to get the goods.

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

According to the calculation of the hotel management team hired by Sean, it is currently in an outbreak period and will fall back later. However, the transaction function of the hotel itself will show a growing trend.

The management team predicts that in the future, relying on the characteristics of safe transactions in 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 of 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!

240 million, even if it's just the turnover, it's scary enough.

Of course, hotel expenses are also high.

The salaries of hundreds of beauties alone cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. Adding high taxes, the team is cost-effective, and the net profit of the Peace Hotel should be 15%.

Even so, the annual net profit is around 36 million!

It is worthy of the name of Tunjin Cave.

In the future, this Peace Hotel will become a huge cash cow, providing a steady stream of impetus for the industry under Sean's name.

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

After all, this is an illegal project.

For black boxing gambling, after excluding the profit sharing for the contestants and the gangs behind it, there is still a net profit of about 50 million a year.

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

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

There is a limit to the amount of laundering that the gym can afford each year, and Sean must establish an industry that can absorb funds to a greater extent as soon as possible.

It's really not that I think about it as soon as I think about it, and I think about what industry to do in what industry, this is also because of helplessness, no!

Wasn't the purpose of building a gym in the first place to save money!

The ghost knows that it will become more and more popular in the future...

So much money to clean, what can I do!

I am also very helpless!

In order to think of a good money laundering channel, Sean really racked his brains.

Sean just gave up on the movie side. It’s meaningless if the quantity is too small, but if the quantity is too large, the theater commission is too high and it’s not worthwhile.

He also gave up on X security's idea of ​​getting some virtual business. X security is a core industry and must be foolproof.

Preferably international trade, which will be more difficult for the IRS to investigate.

However, before Sean could think of a good solution, Cartagena once again made a fool of himself.

...

"In the beginning, we really beat up a few groups of people who were spreading drugs in private, and made a lot of money, seven or eight million, but later, these guys learned to be smart." Jeff was a little distressed. said.

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

"These guys are not shipping within the range of Cartagena anymore. The coastline on the Colombian side is too long, and there are not many cargoes. You can find a seaside where you can just put a boat down and go. The goods, after the goods arrive at sea, they will be 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 offender." Sean snorted, "What about our trading center, has there been more business recently?"

"It's a bit more. After all, security is guaranteed, but the proportion of transactions is still too small. It is mainly leaves that are left. The amount of leaves is large, so it is not convenient to trade secretly."

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

"Unless they can attack their sea transportation channels, otherwise, it will be very difficult."

"Strike the sea transportation channel..." Xiao En frowned and pondered for a while, "It's not impossible."

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

"Ah, robbery!?" Jeff looked at Sean in surprise, "We can't hide this, and we will be implicated by the crime."

"Pirates robbing ships, what does it have to do with us." Sean looked at Jeff inexplicably, "Well, I can't say it's okay."

(In this part of the security expansion, don’t mention who is plagiarizing. In the last book "Hong Kong Movie Heroes", you set up a security company, cultivated pirates, purchased warships, and aircraft carriers)

"That's right, it wasn't hundreds of years ago, where there are still pirates in the Caribbean Sea." Jeff nodded with a face of approval.

"If there are pirates, there must be escorts. We can accept some escort missions." Sean said to himself.

Jeff:? ? ?

"Where are there any pirates!" Jeff said dumbfounded.

"Why not? I said there are pirates, so he has pirates!" Sean sneered.

"This is the Caribbean Sea, America's back garden. Don't you know how chaotic and poor this place is?" Sean squinted at Jeff.

The United States is shot every day, not to mention the back garden of the United States.

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

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

In the 1980s, more than half of the top 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: Trinidad and Tobago

Tenth: Haiti

I'm sorry for not having all of the top 10...

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

After all, how can law and order be bad when you are with the world police...

Are you questioning that American dads are not good for their children?

Top 10 countries with the highest murder rates

First: Honduras, homicide rate, 103.9 people per 100,000 were murdered, 84% of victims died from guns, here is a popular holiday destination.

Second: Venezuela, homicide rate, 57.6 per 100,000 people were murdered, 90% of the victims were killed by guns, one of the major oil exporting countries.

Third: Belize, the homicide rate, 44.7 people were murdered per 100,000 people, 69% of the victims were killed by guns, and the homicides in Belize City are particularly frequent.

Fourth: El Salvador, the homicide rate, 43.9 people were murdered per 100,000 people, 77% of the victims were killed by guns, and more than 20,000 of the 6 million residents in El Salvador belonged to gang members.

(PS: They are all core members, not the kind of punks.)

Fifth: Guatemala, homicide rate, 39.9 people were murdered per 100,000, 86% of the victims died by guns.

Sixth: Jamaica: Homicide rate: 39.3 people were murdered per 100,000 people, 70% of the victims were killed by guns, and murders and violent crimes are especially frequent in big cities such as the capital Kingston.

Seventh: Colombia: Homicide rate: 38.8 people were murdered per 100,000, and 80% of the victims were killed by guns.

Ninth: The Bahamas, the homicide rate, 32.1 people per 100,000 were murdered, 75% of the victims were killed by guns, and armed robbery, rape and murder are very common here.

Eighth and tenth are Swaziland and South Africa in Africa.

The United States said it was ashamed not to let the Caribbean region dominate the top 10.

However, if it reaches the top 20, Guyana, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the countries around the Caribbean Sea, can still be actively included in the list.

so……

"It's not that they don't want to come out to be pirates. It's better than starving to death. They lack ships to be pirates." Sean explained: "Well, there is no shortage of weapons, but guns are a thing!"

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

Jeff:? ? ?

"What do you mean by lack of information and technology to be a pirate?" Jeff asked twitchingly.

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

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

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

"However, we can provide these technologies to each other." Xiao En 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 provided channels for pirates?" Sean rolled his eyes, "We are for hijacked ship owners, and they can hire us to help them redeem the ship, ensuring that they will not pay, and then the ship or the goods Destroyed!"

"They begged us, and we have to thank us!" Sean laughed.

"There are more than a dozen bases of our military in the entire Caribbean region. How can pirates survive?" Jeff still didn't believe it.

"You're still young!" Sean shook his head.

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

In later generations, this pirate business has also become a huge industrial chain.

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

Make money, don't be shabby!

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Sean waved his hand, "That's for the future, I'm sure I'll take a bite of the pirate business, but before that, let's get rid of these damned drug dealers."

"We, X Security, should also have our own sea power, play with a destroyer or something." Saying this, Sean rubbed his hands with excitement on his face.

Boys, who doesn't like blood!

Slam Fang Qiu!

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't sit still.

"The business of the 'Street Committee' on your side needs to expand. In so many coastal cities in Colombia, the security is very chaotic. As an upright and noble person, how can you just stand by and remain indifferent!"

"Yes or no!"

"Expand your business and let the 'street committees' that serve the common people wholeheartedly grow stronger. This is the center of 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, I'm coming back." After saying that, Sean stopped delaying and hurriedly stood up.

Jeff looked at Sean in bewilderment, until now he didn't understand how drug criminals equated with destroyers.

What is this all about!

"By the way!" Sean suddenly turned around and looked at Jeff, "Give me a villa next to the base by the sea. It's too inconvenient to live in the base every time I come. Cartagena is also my site. I don't even have a villa. The manor doesn't even have one, so it's a loss!"

"Oh, yes, yes." Jeff nodded quickly.

Sean went back and called Norris after hastily booking a plane ticket.

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

...

Sean flew to Miami in a hurry, and he wanted to buy some military waste from Colonel Joel Ronald...

This time it's real junk!

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

After checking it, Norris was very satisfied, and immediately ordered some beautiful women who were flown in from Hollywood to get ready.

Joel Ronald here is a big surprise!

As a colonel, Joel Ronald is well-informed, but in terms of playing, even though he is resident in Florida, even though there are many beautiful women in Miami, there are some things that he has never played before!

Simply drinking is meaningless. Sean suggested playing cards, taking off his clothes if he loses, and if he doesn't have to take off, he'll do something like...

just a moment,

Don't worry!

long night...

Joel Ronald had a great time.

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

Only then did Sean pull him to explain his intentions.

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

"Don't be kidding, this thing is very expensive, even if it is scrapped, the annual maintenance cost is scary."

"To gain a foothold in the Caribbean now, there must be some means." Sean said with a smile.

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

"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" classes were refitted until they were all retired in the 1980s.

Since the early 1970s, a large part has been refurbished and sold to the navies of other countries such as South Korea, Turkey, and the Gulf.

These sold warships were used for more than 20 years before they were gradually phased out. In fact, after 20 years, most countries did not have such advanced warships.

It's technically awesome.

The other part was directly sunk as a target ship. I have to say, Laomei is rich!

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

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

The warships of the Great Beautiful Country are very advanced, and the prices are also very beautiful.

Wanwan called it 'Fourteen Suns', all of which were named after the place names of rabbits with the word 'Yang', such as 'Shen'*. At that time, it was the time when Wanwan was the richest, and he was very proud of the rabbits. For a while.

Kiat guided missile destroyer:

Full load displacement: 2464 tons

Hull length: 119.02 meters

Hull width: 12.60 meters

Draft depth: 4.42 meters

Speed: 35 knots

Crew establishment: 336 people

Main guns of shipborne weapons: 2 Mk32 twin-mounted 127mm naval guns

Secondary battery: 2 Mk50 twin-mounted 76mm cannon

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

Torpedoes: 2 triple 324 mm torpedo tubes

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

This Keeling-class destroyer has a small displacement and a relatively fast speed. The most important thing is that it has a mature modification plan, and there is a parking pad at the stern, which was originally used to park anti-submarine helicopters. After modification, it can also be used to park Own Black Hawk.

Sean bought it back, and it can be refurbished and refitted in Boston. It can be equipped with Beagle anti-aircraft missiles, and AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles can also be installed.

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

Roughly equivalent to Colombia around 2050...

Perhaps the 2050 Brother Navy does not have such advanced naval ships.

It is not an exaggeration at all. 40 years later, in 2020, the most advanced main surface battleship of the Colombian Navy is the "Admiral Padilla" small frigate.

Admiral Padilla

Full load displacement: 1850 tons

Hull length: 95 meters

Hull width: 11 meters

Draft depth: 3.52 meters

Speed: 27 knots

Crew establishment: 92 people

Main guns of shipborne weapons: 2 Mk32 twin-mounted 127mm naval guns

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

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

Torpedoes: 2 triple 324 mm torpedo tubes

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

French flying fish:

Weight: 670 kg

Warhead: 165 kg

Range: 65 kilometers

American AGM-84 Harpoon:

Weight: 1110 kg

Warhead: 221 kg

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

If we put it into the present in 1985...

Be conservative and keep a low profile. The Keeling class can single out half of the navy.

"Killin class." Joel Ronald pondered for a moment and said, "Killin class destroyers are indeed very good."

"That's right, rather than blowing it up as a target ship, you might as well sell it to me, right!" Sean spread his hands.

"The point is, there is no precedent for privately purchasing warships!"

"I never bought it privately, it was blown up, it was blown up!" Sean pointed outside.

"Target ship? It exploded!" Joel Ronald stared at the boss.

This is not a gun or something, such a big warship is placed on the sea!

Blind, can't see!

It will definitely be discovered, okay?

Joel Ronald thought Sean was crazy.

"That's completely scrapped, and sold at the price of scrap steel!" Sean thought for a while, "Well, it's sold to a waste recycling and processing plant. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I will set up one."

"You are just joking, who would believe it!" Joel Ronald said a little bit dumbfounded.

"Whether others believe it or not, I believe it anyway!" Sean laughed and said, "Who will believe it? I believe it, you believe it, the military believes it, and that's enough!"

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

"You..." Joel Ronald hesitated.

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

"I'm not really making a fake, um, 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 smelted into high-quality steel, ordinary quality steel is still fine. I know they need it to sell to the big country in the east, and the demand is huge." Sean frowned. Wrinkled slightly, he touched his chin and counted.

Rabbit's demand for steel in the next 20 years is beyond imagination, and this is a sure-fire deal.

Moreover, it happens that I have a waste incineration power plant, and I can use electric furnaces to make steel.

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

This smelting method has low production cost, high labor productivity, and can also digest scrap steel for recycling, which is beneficial to environmental protection.

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

Perfect!

I'm such a genius!

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

Who is Monroe Deve?

Do I know you?

What is random investment?

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

joke!

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

That's a business worth millions!

When he thought that those green cuties were likely to leave him under his persuasion, he suddenly felt distressed.

Angina!

There is no one that cannot be cured by millions.

No, you talk, I'm so scared if you don't talk...

I don't object anymore, can't I! !
