Goldfinger is a bit strange
Chapter 582 Where does the confidence come from (1/2)
Sergei still looked stern, with a high hooked nose, as if he kept people at a distance.
However, after seeing Liu Qingshan, he still tried to force a smile and took the initiative to hug him.
He patted Liu Qingshan's back with his big hand: "Liu, next time you get into trouble in Bu City, you can just tell me my name."
This was obviously a gesture of goodwill, but Liu Qingshan still felt a little unhappy: his every move in Bu City was obviously under the surveillance of the other party.
Could this old guy be the KGB?
So he shrugged his shoulders: "Comrade Sergei, I am very disappointed with the public security in your Bu City. If this continues, it will definitely affect the transactions between the two cities."
"Don't worry, we will deal with it soon."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Sergei's eyes. It is estimated that Comrade Yegor, the director, will have to worry about his clothes.
Liu Qingshan was just testing it. He didn't expect Sergei to react so strongly. It is estimated that there were conflicts between the two sides before. Liu Qingshan didn't think he could have such a great influence.
Although he had the list given by Shen Guodong in his pocket, Liu Qingshan didn't want to take it out first.
There is an active and passive relationship here. There is a saying among the common people: it is not a good deal to rush.
Since Sergei came, it proved that he had something to ask for. It would be better to wait for the other party to speak first.
The two sat and drank tea, chatting about this and that, and no one talked about the main topic, comparing patience in the market.
In terms of patience, Sergei was obviously not as good as Liu Qingshan. After drinking a few cups of tea, he felt that his stomach was a little bloated, and finally couldn't help but say:
"Liu, the last cooperation was very pleasant, and we may have more extensive and in-depth exchanges."
Liu Qingshan did not comment, and picked up the teacup again and took a sip: "Comrade Sergei, your appetite is too big, I don't have so many US dollars."
Of course, he had to grasp it, otherwise, the other party would definitely ask for a sky-high price, and Liu Qingshan didn't want to be a sucker, whether it was an individual or a country.
Sergey's sharp eyes stared at Liu Qingshan: "Liu, I also have several friends on Wall Street. I heard that your spokesperson made nearly 10 million US dollars on Wall Street last year, and I haven't congratulated you yet."
It is difficult to hide secrets in front of a huge organization, so Liu Qingshan was not too surprised. He still smiled and shook his head:
"Comrade Sergey, that's different. That is my personal wealth, and the things in your hands are useless to me personally. I am just a businessman."
Sergey also had a headache. He knew that the other party was telling the truth, but he knew that the other party must want what he had more.
Obviously wanting it, but still putting on an attitude of not wanting it. This kind of double-faced person is the most hateful.
Fortunately, I came prepared this time, and I am not afraid of your tricks. 7K妏敩
Sergei leaned back on the chair, and tapped the table in front of him with his right hand: "Liu, I have a piece of news here, maybe you will be very interested."
Seeing his calm appearance, Liu Qingshan suddenly felt uneasy, but he still asked cheerfully: "I wonder if it is good news or bad news?"
Sergei's fingers tapped the table rhythmically, and he said calmly:
"I received news a few days ago that a cargo ship from Hong Kong Island unfortunately became the target of pirates when passing through the Gulf of Aden."
Liu Qingshan stood up and the teacup in his hand fell over.
Needless to say, it must be the cargo ship of Longteng International Trading Company that had an accident
These days, he has been thinking about it. He has not received any news from Chen Dongfang. According to the time, he should have arrived in Eastern Europe and called to report that he was safe.
But the call has not come for a long time, and Liu Qingshan is a little worried, and this bad premonition is finally confirmed by Sergei.
The Suez Canal is the closest river connecting Europe and Asia, so pirates are rampant.
Especially the country with the title of the Horn of Africa, which is in turmoil and poverty, and is the most prosperous pirate country.
They transported light industrial products, which can be regarded as poverty alleviation!
Millions of dollars of goods almost bet on Longteng International's assets, which is a huge loss.
The most important thing is that this is the company's first batch of goods. If it fails, it will even affect Liu Qingshan's overall layout in Eastern European countries. The hidden losses are immeasurable.
Even though Liu Qingshan has always been calm, he was a little upset when he heard the news suddenly.
He could accept the loss of goods, at most he would lose some profits.
But on those ships, there are also the main forces of Longteng Company, and they are all his brothers.
In addition, there are about 200 guards. If something unexpected happens, how to explain to their families?
Liu Qingshan walked back and forth in the room, his steps getting faster and faster, and his mind was working at a high speed, thinking about ways to break the deadlock.
It was obviously not going to work through the government level. The government in Somaliland was now on the verge of collapse. In two or three years, the government would collapse and fall into chaos among the tribes.
Then he could only take people over and negotiate directly with the pirates to try to redeem the people.
As long as there were people, there was a chance to make a comeback.
The ultimate goal of the pirates was to get money. Problems that could be solved with money were not a problem.
Another thought flashed through his mind: Can the two hundred veterans save the cargo ship?
But soon, this idea was thrown out of his mind. This idea may not be realistic.
After thinking about it, Liu Qingshan gradually calmed down, his steps became slower and slower, and finally he sat back in his seat again.
He has already made a decision: get everyone back first and then talk.
Sergey was also a little surprised to see this young man return to normal in a short period of time.
Originally, he wanted to wait until the other party was in a mess before playing the role of savior, but now it seems that this wish has failed.
Sergey couldn't help feeling a little resentful. This young man was far more mature and calm than he thought, so he said:
"Liu, we are a good partner, and we also have some influence there. Maybe we can help."
Sergey is very confident: as long as the other party nods, the initiative will be firmly in his hands.
"Comrade Sergey, thank you for your kindness, but I still want to solve it myself."
Liu Qingshan looked at Sergey calmly, and he could feel the pride in his eyes.
And the other party does have the capital to pull the tiger's flag, after all, the huge empire has not completely collapsed.
However, his trading company is not a one-time deal. It is not what Liu Qingshan wants to seek the protection of others forever and let others manipulate it.
Sergey's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't know where the young man in front of him had the confidence.
He snorted coldly from inside his big nose: "Liu, those pirates in Lilan never talk to people about reason. Only force can make them submit."
This is what Mao Zi has always advocated. Facts have proved that this trick sometimes does not work well. Otherwise, they would not have to fall into the quagmire of Afghanistan and lose those younger brothers in Eastern Europe.
Mao Zi has always been unpopular in the international community, which may be related to this.
Liu Qingshan didn't want to argue with him, so he stood up again: "Mr. Sergey, I need to deal with this matter immediately. I'll excuse you for now. I'll call Manager Hou and the others later to have a drink with you."
No, our deal hasn’t been discussed yet?
Sergey was a little confused. He never expected that the other party would refuse so simply.
At this moment, Dingshan hurriedly rushed into the office: "Qingshan, the phone number is Brother Xiaowu and the others!"
Followed by Hou San who was also panicking: "Xiao Wu said that they were held hostage by pirates and asked us to send ransom. Damn it, there are still pirates in this age!"
Let alone this time, even in a few decades, there will still be pirates.
Liu Qingshan flew directly to Hou San's office. There was only one telephone in the warehouse, and it was installed here.
He picked up the microphone on the table and said, "Hey, Fifth Brother, how is the situation over there?"
Tens of thousands of miles away, Xiao Wu held a satellite phone in his hand:
"Qingshan, we are all alive now, but if we don't pay the ransom, we probably won't survive!"
Just stay alive!
Liu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief: "Money is not an issue. How much do those pirates cost?"
"One hundred million, one hundred million dollars!"
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little strange, as if he was swallowing saliva.
Liu Qingshan also swallowed and almost choked: This is really a lion's mouth!
All his current assets combined are only tens of millions.
But he still said without hesitation: "Okay, Xiao Wu, don't worry, even if I borrow money from usury by selling everything, I will get you all back, not one of you will be left behind!"
On the other side of the phone, Xiao Wu heard an "ah" sound. He was probably shocked. They and their group knew Liu Qingshan's family background to some extent.
"Xiaowu, tell Mr. Chen Dongfang to talk to me."
Liu Qingshan has something that he needs to explain to Chen Dongfang.
"Dongfang was tied to a banana tree by the local indigenous people and couldn't answer the phone."
Liu Qingshan was stunned: "Then ask Zhang Long to answer the phone!"
"Zhang Long is even worse. His arms are hanging on the banana tree and he is being whipped with a whip!"
Liu Qingshan was stunned for a moment: "Brother Dalong's broken arm has grown back?"
Xiao Wu paused on the other side of the phone: "I didn't make it clear just now. He was hanging by two feet, hanging upside down from the tree."
Liu Qingshan suddenly asked: "Xiao Wu, are bananas delicious?"
"Well, it's delicious. The bananas here taste amazing." Xiao Wu responded subconsciously.
Then I heard Liu Qingshan’s roar on the phone: “Tell me what’s going on!”
After the initial novelty of sailing on the sea, the rest becomes boring.
That's the case with Xiaowu and the others. They used to yearn for the sea the most, but now they feel like vomiting when they see the surging sea water.
It felt like being in prison, and the cargo ship was their prison.
Fortunately, the food in this large cell is good. Although there are no fresh vegetables, there are some bean sprouts grown by oneself.
This thing was a treasure when sailing. It is said that when Zheng He sailed to the Western Ocean, the crew relied on eating bean sprouts to supplement various vitamins.
From time to time, you can also try sea fish and fish, which is just a good way to pass the time.
After a long voyage, we finally arrived at the Gulf of Aden. More than half of the journey has passed, and this arduous journey is finally coming to an end.
Everyone was in a good mood and stood on the side of the ship to look at the scenery. Suddenly, the alarm bell sounded loudly on the cargo ship, and the captain's voice came from the loudspeaker:
"Attention, attention, if you find pirates, please don't resist!"
Pirates never hijack ships for the purpose of killing people; extorting ransom is their real purpose.
Therefore, when encountering this situation, the crew members on the cargo ship can only admit that they are unlucky and will never resist.
"Grab our goods, why can't you resist!"
Xiao Wu roared.
"Hit him!" Li Tieniu clenched his big fists. During these days on the ship, he was blown by the salty sea breeze every day, and he felt that his body was about to get rusty.
When I heard that pirates were coming, I became inexplicably excited.
The first mate on the ship ran over. He was from Hong Kong and waved his arms anxiously: "If you want to attack the street, please don't hurt us."
On the sea not far away, several speedboats appeared as expected, squeezing the water and approaching the cargo ship quickly.
A little further away, there was a larger sailboat also patrolling the sea.
Because speedboats cannot travel too far, pirates usually use large ships to transport small boats when they are in action. After discovering the target, they release the speedboat.
On the first speedboat, Everya held an old AK in his hand, his dark face full of excitement.
Those who make a living in the sea like this kind of cargo ship with deep draft and slow speed.
Moreover, there are very few weapons on cargo ships and they will basically not encounter any resistance, because according to international practice, weapons are not allowed on cargo ships.
After entering the territory of another country, the only choice is to throw the weapons into the sea, which is too troublesome.
At most, they just use high-pressure water cannons to spray people down from a high position. For pirates like them with guns, it is nothing more than drizzle.
Soon, the speedboat Evera approached the cargo ship. A cold light flashed on the speedboat, and a large iron hook with a rope flew up and directly caught the side of the ship.
A ladder was hung on the rope. The companion pulled the ladder and felt that it was firmly hooked. Then he shouted and Everya used his hands and feet together, like a nimble monkey, to climb up towards the cargo ship.
Although Evera is not yet twenty years old, he has done this kind of business many times and is very skilled.
He quickly climbed to the side of the ship, then flipped up nimbly, picked up the rifle in his hand, and shouted in English with a strange accent:
"Don't move, no one is allowed to move!"
There was a crash, and everyone on the deck squatted down with their heads in their hands.
Everya smiled, showing his white teeth. In his eyes, these people were all green money.
Soon, other partners also boarded the ship smoothly, and they all showed off their power.
Suddenly, Everya heard a short and powerful voice. He couldn't understand what it said. In fact, it was Li Tie yelling "do it".
Then Everya felt his vision blurred, and the rifle in his hand was snatched away. Just as he was about to struggle, he was hit hard on the stomach, and then suffered a heavy blow on the back.
When Evera fell, he saw that his companions were also lying on the deck.

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim red rain of blood.

The streets that used to be bustling with people are now desolate.
The sandy dirt road that used to be bustling with people is no longer noisy now.
Only blood and mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper were left, indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck deep in the mud, full of sadness. Only an abandoned rabbit doll hung on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of eerieness.
The turbid eyes seemed to have some residual resentment, looking lonely at the mottled rocks in front of them.
There, a figure was lying down.
This is a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, his clothes are torn and covered with dirt, and he has a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The young man squinted his eyes and remained motionless. The biting cold penetrated his worn coat from all directions and spread throughout his body, gradually taking away his body temperature.
