Chapter 539: The Bottom Line
Somewhere off the coast of the Gulf of Domes, Somalia.
It's very secluded, a gap in the bank, and a small stream flows into the sea from here. This entrance has been cleverly modified to allow for the entry and exit of small-tonnage ships.
After crossing the towering cliffs, a mountain range is not far behind.
After following this small stream over the mountains, there is a small oasis that exists behind the mountains.
This small oasis has been built as a hidden base, and the buildings are very new, some of which are still under construction, apparently not yet finished.
The sea ship entered here without attracting anyone from this base to pay attention and turn a blind eye.
And the people here, their work efficiency is beyond imagination.
A sturdy man, he actually hugged a stone weighing at least six or seven hundred pounds, and then strode away until the stone was moved a hundred meters away.
"Bang!"
Stones fell, dirt sank, and dust was raised.
It is not difficult to see that this stone is not a prop, but a real stone.
In another place, a strong man, he carried a huge piece of wood that was more than five meters long, and people could not hug it, as if there was nothing. Easily, the giant tree was moved to its destination.
Everyone here is like a monster, with infinite strength, and their faces are expressionless, working like machines. Seemingly non-human work, in them, is easy.
At the foot of the mountain, a building built against the mountain, made of reinforced concrete, is the main body of this base, and it has been put into use.
The boat leaned on the small pier, and then the twenty crew members who were kidnapped were blindfolded and disembarked from the boat.
There was no sound, they were connected by ropes, like a gourd.
There are people in front of them, but they can't see it, so they can only walk along the rope. This feeling of not knowing where it is, not knowing what awaits you, makes people panic.
After walking for more than ten minutes, they were ushered into a room.
The room was large, with a circle of iron beds around the walls, and a toilet, but no bathroom. It's clean, the cement is bottomed, and it's clearly new.
The people were brought here, and the cloth on their heads was torn off.
The six-meter-high floor, with a ventilation hole at the top, is dimly lit.
Bring people here, and everything falls silent as the iron gates close.
The twenty crew members, one by one, seemed very quiet, and the result was as they expected, and there was nothing to yell about, which would only anger the other party.
Stay quiet, waiting for the company to pay the ransom.
In this process, it's best not to get yourself in trouble, because you won't know if the other person will kill someone.
…………
"Boss, it's done." Xia Min's report is very simple and concise.
Lu Chuan nodded, did not speak, but hung up the satellite phone in his hand.
Like this one, with the ability of the zombies under his hands, Lu Chuan believes that there will be no problems. After knowing the movements of all the ships in the Gulf of Aden, what you want to do is naturally dangerous.
It is the submarine that appeared in the Gulf of Aden, which is also under the control of Lu Chuan.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Chuan is the real controller of the entire Gulf of Aden, as long as Lu Chuan is willing, this will be a forbidden area, whether it is a civilian ship or a warship, without Lu Chuan's permission, it will not be possible to pass through here at all.
Lu Chuan's control is naturally impossible for all countries to know.
In addition to the manor, the new base, they are also composed of zombies, but they do dirty work, which can be regarded as a military expansion of their own forces in Somalia.
Well, how to put it, this base is actually behind the blame.
It is obviously unlikely that he would just use the method of pirates to make Du Sinyue fall from the altar of the ship king. So...... This is just the beginning.
The biggest source of performance of Zhongtian Shipping Company is actually oil tankers, oil tankers transporting crude oil.
Accounting for more than 75% of the performance share, it can be seen how heavy the proportion of crude oil transportation is. Once there is a problem with crude oil, it will be fatal for Zhongtian Shipping Company.
Lu Chuan hesitated, or if there was a problem with the oil tanker, the affected sea area would be very large, and the damage to the environment would be greater than imagined.
This involves the issue of morality and bottom line.
Otherwise, Lu Chuan only needs to make a few big holes in a hundreds of thousands of tons of oil tanker to let the crude oil being transported leak out, and the losses caused will reach at least one billion dollars.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the fines of the polluted countries alone will be in this number.
Zhongtian Shipping is a bull fork, but in the face of this level of fines, it will also cause a heavy blow to the company, and the stock price may fall to a few limits.
But......
It is really difficult for Lu Chuan to make this decision, he is cold-blooded, but it does not mean that Lu Chuan has no bottom line of being a man.
"Forget it, I'd better think of something else."
Lu Chuan smiled bitterly, sometimes if you are too bottom-lined, you will be restrained everywhere. Simple things, when it comes to you, will be extremely complicated.
Just one kidnapping incident, Zhongtian Shipping was overwhelmed, and Du Xinyue couldn't put his energy into it.
However, from the information he had, he did not withdraw the tracking personnel, that is, the danger of Man Yirou has not been resolved.
There were six tyrant T-002s in the villa, and Lu Chuan was not worried about Manyirou's safety at all.
So after getting tired of being here for two days, Lu Chuan had to leave.
…………
Handong City.
Ye Lingwei commanded the servants and carried the luggage into the hanging garden.
After more than a month, she finally disposed of all the things in Linhai City and officially moved to Handong City. As the owner of Lingyun Studio, she had to focus on Handong City.
What's more important is that my boyfriend is in Handong City, so he can't live apart for too long.
Long-distance relationships are the easiest to break up couples.
Time and loneliness are equally terrifying, Ye Lingwei is not because of Lu Chuan's identity, but because she loves Lu Chuan, it's as simple as that. No matter how Lu Chuan changes, she is still holding on to her original feelings for Lu Chuan.
Yes, she is so pure, once she loves, she is vigorous.
On the other hand, with Lu Chuan's influence in Handong City, she will no longer have constraints here, she can devote herself to what she likes, and she can ignore any unspoken rules and ignore who is who.
Even if she didn't admit it, Ye Lingwei still knew all this because of the man behind her.
After a long absence, Lu Chuan arrived at the Sky Garden, which was a fierce collision.
The abundant energy brought by the fifth-level genetic enhancement made Lu Chuan cope with it, and he was also full of passion. Lu Chuan was crazy in the deep city of Man Yirou and enjoyed it for two days, but for his physique, it was too normal.
"Do you want to change offices?"
After the passion, Lu Chuan leaned on the bed and asked.
The location of Lingyun Studio is actually very ordinary, Wei Zhicheng's capital was not strong at the beginning, and the rented place will naturally not be too good. Before, it didn't feel like much, but now it's different, and it's time to change it.
Ye Lingwei didn't pick, but nodded anyway.
Lu Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let people rent it again when I go back." ”
Now Ye Lingwei is actually very busy, and after the concert, she can be said to be red to purple. The songs in the concert have dominated the major music charts, and after more than a month of brewing, the call for Ye Lingwei's new album is getting higher and higher.
The major music companies naturally know that Ye Lingwei's album will definitely sell well as long as it is released.
This kind of ironclad album is bound to be a big hit, and as long as you participate in the release, it means that you can make money from it. No one will have money to get by, so naturally every company contacts Lingyun Studio to discuss cooperation.
Wei Zhicheng is now miserable and happy, happy because he finally realized the dream he was chasing back then, and this pain is too busy to be idle for a moment.
"By the way, my parents have asked me several times about marriage." Ye Lingwei stuck out her tongue.
Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then gave Ye Lingwei a kiss and said, "As long as you want, you can do it at any time." ”
As a man, you must not hesitate on these issues, women are emotional creatures, and you can never guess what they are thinking.
But there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and that is to give a commitment decisively.
In fact, in his heart, of course Lu Chuan is helpless, after all, there is a poem Ruoyu in it, which makes it difficult for Lu Chuan to choose, he wants both, and there can only be one who can get married.
It's really not a good thing for a man to be distracted.
Hearing Lu Chuan say this, Ye Lingwei was happy, but she still shook her head and said, "I still want to wait for another two years to chase my dream of music." ”
…………
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Lu Chuan received a call from Kang Yang: "Boss Lu, come out and sit, old place." ”
To be honest, Lu Chuan was still very surprised when he received a call from Kang Yang.
Kang Yang seemed to be missing, and he hadn't been in touch for almost three months. Lu Chuan was very busy, so he naturally didn't have the heart to think about it, anyway, his grandfather retired, and it was only a second-line thing, and it wasn't a matter of collapse.
Lu Chuan didn't even hesitate, so he said, "Okay." ”
After talking to Ye Lingwei, Lu Chuan had already notified Ma Xifeng below with his mind and asked him to drive the car to the door and wait for him.
After buying the Sky Garden, Lu Chuan spent some money to buy a few shops on the first floor, and after the transformation, it became a private entrance to increase privacy.
Riding down the elevator, Ma Xifeng had already driven the car to the edge of the elevator.
Lu Chuan sat in and sent an address to Ma Xifeng.
The Series 7 drove smoothly and soon entered the street outside.
The old place, in fact, is the water people, or the familiar box, Lu Chuan stepped here again, and his mood was naturally different from the beginning.
At the beginning, I was a hidden dragon.
And now he is the Nine Heavens of Long Xiao.
In the past, Kangyang was in his eyes, and he was the third generation of red who could knead himself at any time. But now, in his eyes, Kang Yang is simply a friend, and he can ignore the background behind him.
When I opened the door of the box, Kang Yang was already inside.
When he saw Lu Chuan, Kang Yang subconsciously stood up and no longer sat with a grin as before.
"Brother Yang!" Lu Chuan still uses this familiar title, in Lu Chuan's heart, Kang Yang is his friend, he was and still is.
Kang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed with relief: "Lu Chuan." ”
