& Forgot something? Lin Hai looked at Liu Yan blankly, with a puzzled expression.
& Is this really a fan of the authorities, and a clear observer? Liu Yan punched Lin Hai on the head, "Have you forgotten what your identity is now?" ”
&In? Lin Hai covered his head and looked at Liu Yan blankly.
>It's a pig! Liu Yan grabbed Lin Hai's ear and yelled at Lin Hai's ear, "You may have been a poor ** silk before!" But what are you now! You have an army now, and there will be more and stronger troops in the future! There is a generation gap of more than 100 years in technology! You also want to start one of the world's largest private arms manufacturing companies in the future! You'll have a chance to become the world's largest underground ruler in the future! How could your identity not be worthy of her! ”
Lin Hai rolled his eyes, slapped Liu Yan's hand away, covered his ears, squatted on the ground, shook his head, and came back to his senses after a while, and then he said to Liu Yan blankly: "My identity seems to be impossible to disclose, right?" ”
& Liu Yan also reacted, Lin Hai's identities really can't be made public casually.
He scratched his face and said with some embarrassment, "This ...... Well, you can first see if she likes you, and if she really likes you, you can also tell her secretly? ”
> Yours. Lin Hai patted the ashes on his body and stood up, "This kind of thing can only be said to be casual." ”
& Speaking of fate, in fact, you still have fate. Liu Yan smiled, "When you first went to school, didn't the reason why you knew Anya was because you caught a thief at the school gate, and that thief happened to steal Anya's things?" Although you didn't show any interest in Anya at the time. And this time, didn't you also deal with pirates, but you accidentally rescued Anya from the pirates? ”
& Is it fate? When Lin Hai heard Liu Yan say this, he also became a little interested, "Listening to what you say, it seems to make some sense?" ”
Lin Hai was thinking about it himself, but Liu Yan turned his face away, and whispered helplessly: "This kid is really easy to deceive......"
On the dock, Chen Xi had already finished talking with the African uncle and returned to the boat to report to Lin Hai.
& Who is the old man? Seeing Chen Xi coming back, Liu Yan asked.
Chen Xi replied: "He is a warlord in charge of the port, named Rafayette, with 500 armed soldiers under his command, in the whole of Mogadishu, he can only be regarded as a small warlord, but because he has a lot of foreign relations and channels, he can help other warlords get a lot of good things, and he also knows the operation of the port, so the warlords will let him control the port." ”
Liu Yan asked again: "Can he protect this ship while it is staying?" ”
After thinking about it, Chen Xi nodded: "It should be possible, I heard that the warlords in the entire Mogadishu give him face, and two-thirds of the food, ammunition, and medicine that all the warlords need are supplied by him." So although he is a neutral in this city, who does not want to offend him. ”
&Okay, how much does he offer? Lin Hai also sorted out his mood at this time and returned to business.
& 300,000 m gold a day, ask for cash. This is only a berthing fee, and if you need to replenish supplies such as water and food, you will have to pay a high price. ”
>> He's robbing money! It costs 300,000 a day just to stop the ship! At this time, Lin Hai and Liu Yan both shouted.
&&Isn't it just a money grab? Chen Xi sneered, "It's all cheap here." You look at the transport ship at the berth next to us, and the berthing fee is half a million per day. He still saw the friendship price given by Hassan's face. ”
& I don't understand, why do so many people come here to do business because they are fighting and killing every day, and the prices are so high? Lin Hai said puzzled.
& There are many reasons. First of all, it is tax-free, because no one knows who is qualified to collect taxes, and the warlords just collect a certain amount of protection money on time, and the fee for a single merchant is much cheaper than what you would pay in a normal country. Liu Yan patted Lin Hai and explained for him, "In addition, there is a great demand here, and because of the war, all the production industries here are bad, but Mogadishu is very important, and all the warlords will not give up here." Then their materials can only be provided by these merchants, and naturally they will also provide protection to the merchants. ”
> Is it the so-called demand that there will be a market? ”
&Wrong, that's what it means. After explaining this to Lin Hai, Liu Yan said again, "Then give this Lafayette 600,000 first, and then we will immediately contact the side of country Z." ”
&Remember, country Z no longer has an embassy or other foreign-funded institutions in this country, right? After thinking about it, Lin Hai said.
&& Not anymore, but I remember having an office in Kenya? I think we can use them to contact the country, right? Liu Yan said with some uncertainty.
>> Tell the two," Chen Xi couldn't stand it anymore, and he interjected, "Why don't you call those rescued people and let them contact them themselves?" Let country Z solve these problems on its own, and we only need to assist from the side to protect the safety of these people. ”
&Ah, how come we didn't think of that? The two looked at each other stunned, a little ashamed.
>> That's it," Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh and shake his head, "I'll go get the money to Lafayette first, and then I'll go and set up the security forces." You go to the passengers and ask them to contact them themselves. ”
>> We don't have a satellite phone to give them? The ship's satellite phones, radios and other communication facilities have been destroyed by pirates before! Liu Yan shouted.
>. With that, Chen Xi threw a satellite phone to them, "Use this." ”
&Where did you get it? Lin Hai took the phone and asked in surprise.
>> But what do you think I used to contact Hassan? ”
Seeing Chen Xi leave, the two young people looked at the phone and were stunned for a long time, and then Liu Yan said: "In this way, first gather the crew to the ship's restaurant, where everyone should be able to be accommodated, and then let them call." ”
> Who will make this call first? Lin Hai asked, "If they let them decide for themselves, if they don't get it right, they will fight first." ”
& No, let the captain call their company first, and then let Anya call them? Liu Yan looked at Lin Hai teasingly, and laughed wickedly, "This is your chance." ”
Lin Hai gave Liu Yan a punch: "Get out of here and play!" Damn, we're all going to keep our identities secret, can you let her know who I am? ”
& This bastard is so heavy! Liu Yan covered his already swollen face and said hatefully, "The guy who wants to save face!" ”
Ignoring Liu Yan's broken thoughts on the side, Lin Hai said to himself: "Let's let the captain call first, and then let the passengers who have acquaintances with the state's high-level call again." I've observed before that some of those people look like high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen, and if they come to fight, they should be able to get in touch with the country quickly and then pick them up. ”
>> yes, yes, you're the chief, and you're up to you. Liu Yan rubbed his face and said with a constipated look.
Soon, under the announcement of the announcement, all the crew members of the ship left the room and came to the dining room.
After everyone arrived, Lin Hai and Liu Yan also walked into the restaurant with a group of soldiers. Looking at the people who were all a little nervous, Lin Hai walked to the front desk, raised the satellite phone in his hand, and said, "I think everyone should already know by now, because of the pirate pursuit, we were forced to dock at the Mogadishu seaport. For the time being we are safe, because we are temporarily protected by the warlords here, but it will not be long. I have a satellite phone in my hand, which I will use for you, and since you are going to contact someone you know and inform them to come here to pick you up. But there is only one telephone, so I hope that one of you would better push someone who can contact the top level in the country to come out, so that you can contact the person who answers faster. ”
Lin Hai paused, his eyes scanned the crowd, and when he heard his words, there was some commotion in the crowd. He quickly found two girls, Anya and Shu Yang, from the crowd, who were standing with several other women, looking around uneasily.
Lin Hai sighed secretly, and continued: "I want to explain first, there is only one telephone, in order for everyone to go home early, please find someone who can contact the country as soon as possible, so that the country can pick you up." And we can't help you contact the government of country Z, because for the government of country Z, we may be considered criminals. But rest assured, we will always protect your safety until the country comes to pick you up, and I mean what I say. ”
As soon as Lin Hai's words fell, he saw a middle-aged man walking out of the crowd, but it was the first person Lin Hai to stand up when he was in the pirate base. I saw that the middle-aged man walked in front of Lin Hai, although he still looked a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down.
The middle-aged man froze and said loudly to Lin Hai: "There is some truth in what you said, but how can we be sure that you are not colluding with pirates?" Maybe you deliberately put on a show for us because you didn't negotiate well with our country, and now you're pretending to be a good person and asking us to call home and ask for ransom, right? ”
At this time, Liu Yan stepped forward and stood still in front of the middle-aged man, and he suddenly smiled: "You are really ridiculous." ”
>> I said yes! The middle-aged man couldn't help but take a step back and said calmly.
& Medium? Liu Yan laughed, "You don't figure it out first, just you, and you are also worthy of us to act?" ”
