Chapter 175 Maritime Security

After being in Kutos for so long, Xiao Yang had in-depth contact with the sea here, and since several domestic trading companies set up seafood import and export companies here, there were more lobster fishers in Fangboti, not far from the port, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

When he went into the water, he found that the fishery resources here were more abundant than he could have imagined.

As soon as he dived to the bottom of the sea less than ten meters, he found a group of lobsters, the smallest of which were three or four taels, and the largest one was even more than a kilogram.

Seeing this scene, he did not rush to catch lobsters, but swam around.

After swimming forty or fifty meters and finding a lot of lobsters, he chose two large ones to grab in his hands and began to swim to the surface of the sea.

As soon as he came out of the water, he saw that Aman, who was also holding a lobster in both hands, was already sitting on the rocks of the anti-Poti.

"Do you see it down there? There are a bit of lobsters out there. Before he could speak, Aman spoke first.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Yang knew that the two of them wanted to go together, put the lobster in the bucket, and began to take off the diving equipment, "I want to find a professional person to investigate, maybe I can make an industry, I used to think it was strange, why did those distant-water fishing boats in Spain and Italy risk being hijacked by pirates and still have to go to this sea area to fish, it turns out that this sea area is really a treasure." ”

The more the city develops, the only benefit to their company, as the actual controller of Kutos, the development of the city's economy is their responsibility, they have promoted the fishing industry before, but seeing the situation today, they know that it is not enough.

Both of them thought about this in mind.

And these things need to be actually operated by the city government, so the lobster catching can only be put aside.

As the two of them talked, they packed up their guys and walked to the embankment.

As soon as he climbed up the anti-Boti with the bucket, a man and a woman from before came over.

"Hello, thank you for what you just did." Seeing Xiao Yang and Aman, the two hurriedly greeted each other, and the man in one of them also stretched out his hand to help carry the bucket.

For the initiative of the two, Xiao Yang and Aman exchanged a look, did not refuse his kindness, and handed over the bucket in his hand. "What? Lost shopping? ”

Yuan Ping knew that her boyfriend was brave enough, had enough vision, and was capable enough, but he was a little lacking in words, smiled and pulled the hair that was blown by the sea breeze in his ears, and took the initiative to take the words. ”

Several people spoke Chinese, so Oman didn't say much, but let Xiao Yang deal with them.

Xiao Yang listened to the girl's words, smiled in his heart, what did he go here, it was obviously deliberate, but he didn't know their intentions, he didn't mean to debunk it, shook his head, said it didn't matter, and chatted with them casually.

Along the way, Qi Ang didn't say much, but Yuan Ping's words were trying to test the identities of the two, but they were all very hidden, and they did not arouse Xiao Yang's disgust, but made him feel that this woman's eloquence was really powerful, and she was a talent.

Oman was in charge of the municipal administration, and a few people slowly walked to the port, Xiao Yang had some interest in the two, so he threw the things in his hand to Oman and brought them back, he pointed to a coffee shop not far away and said to the two: "It's rare to see a compatriot, let me do my landlord's friendship, and invite you to have a drink over there." ”

In the previous conversation, both Xiao Yang and Aman answered without leaking, and Yuan Ping and Qi Ang certainly hoped to get along with them for a while, so they readily agreed.

There were no cafes in Kutos before, some were basically Arabic tea houses, and the only coffee house in Kutos was opened a few months ago by a businessman who came from the country to do trade.

Separated from Oman at the port, Xiao Yang took Qi Ang and Yuan Ping towards the café.

"Hey, Lao Wang, are you back? Get us three cups of coffee. "From the opening to the present, as long as it is in Kutos, Zhao Nan will always pull Xiao Yang here for a drink every night, and Xiao Yang is already very familiar with this place.

The old Wang in his mouth is the owner of this shop, and he is a rather interesting person.

The middle-aged man who was listlessly leaning on the counter immediately raised his head when he heard Xiao Yang's voice, and when he saw the person clearly, he immediately laughed and raised his hand to say hello, "Come back, you sit, I'll bring it to you." ”

chose a window seat to sit down, Xiao Yang just introduced the shop to the two, and Lao Wang came over with coffee.

"Let the big boss go into battle in person, the taste of this cup of coffee today will definitely be extraordinary."

In response to Xiao Yang's ridicule, Lao Wang responded with a smile, "I'm not sure if the taste is ordinary, just give a little more tips later." ”

"It's just a tip, no problem." Xiao Yang smiled, then pointed to Qi Ang and Yuan Ping, and introduced him, "The compatriots I just met at the port......"

Lao Wang, this person, is a modern Song Gongming, who is righteous and squanders money, likes to make friends all over the world, I heard that it is a compatriot who just came from China, and he doesn't care what they do.

Qi Ang and Yuan Ping saw that he was so enthusiastic, and they didn't understand that others were like this for a while, or for Xiao Yang's sake, they were naturally embarrassed to ask him to invite, but said that they invited Xiao Yang, and politely declined.

Lao Wang has been here for so many months, so he naturally knows a little bit of Xiao Yang's identity, and he thought that the two of them asked Xiao Yang to do something, so he didn't say anything more, saying that he must let him invite him next time, and he was ready to leave after speaking.

"Wait......" Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Xiao Yang stopped him, "I just saw that you were listless, is there something wrong?" ”

Lao Wang's eyes lit up, and then he looked at the other two people on the table, and stopped talking.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Yang knew that something was really wrong, and said to Qi Ang and Yuan Ping to wait a minute, then got up and pointed to the counter to Lao Wang.

Lao Wang gave the two of them an apologetic look, and immediately followed Xiao Yang to the counter.

It turned out that he had a batch of goods detained by the customs when he arrived at the port, and if there was a problem with the goods, he would not be embarrassed, but the fact was that the goods were no problem at all, but someone was jealous of his business, so the people who bribed the customs deliberately embarrassed him, even if he paid to accept the penalty, the customs did not immediately release the intention.

Although Kutos is not big, they have all kinds of organs, and there are customs, and they have no relationship with Somalia and Somaliland, and they are directly under the Kutos municipal government.

Law enforcement agencies have become a tool for a certain person to retaliate, which Xiao Yang cannot tolerate.

After listening, he frowned, and said very seriously: "Lao Wang, you should know that this is not a joke, can you guarantee that everything you say is true?" ”

Lao Wang hurriedly raised his hand and swore, "I guarantee that everything I say is true." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yang nodded, "I know, I'll ask someone." ”

…………

Back at the table, Qi Ang and Yuan Ping were pointing to the seaside in the distance and saying something.

Originally, Xiao Yang wanted to chat with the two for a while, but after the matter of Lao Wang, he didn't have the heart to go around in circles with the two, sat down, and said to Qi Ang: "Do you have anything else to do here besides traveling?" ”

Qi Ang didn't expect Xiao Yang to suddenly ask this question, and he was stunned, but Yuan Ping reacted quickly, pushed him, and then glanced at him.

Facing a person who didn't know the details, Qi Ang didn't know how to speak, but thinking that he was already gambling, why bother? So he said to Xiao Yang: "I want to organize a maritime security company, I want to come here to have a look." ”

So that's it!

With the participation of the navies of various countries in escorting ships in recent years, the hijacking of ships in the Gulf of Aden has indeed decreased, but it is precisely because of the increased difficulty of pirates hijacking ships that they have increased the ransom accordingly after they hijacked ships, and as far as Xiao Yang knows, since last year, the ransom paid for each ship has reached 15 million.

In fact, this price is acceptable for many ocean freight companies, if their ship is hijacked, pay 10 million or even 20 million to get the ship immediately, but the reality is not like this, every ship that is hijacked has to go through a long negotiation, and finally pay a ransom to get the ship.

And it is the loss of time that they cannot accept.

It seems that there are a lot of warships in the escort coalition of various countries, but for such a huge sea area, it is obviously impossible to take care of every ship, and in this case, the maritime security company came into being.

Xiao Yang remembered when he had read such a document, which stated that in the current waters of the Gulf of Aden, the output value of this business has reached more than one billion dollars.

I didn't expect Qi Ang to have such an idea.

And no wonder he came to Kutos!

This kind of maritime security company is basically private, otherwise it is mercenaries, and the special geographical location of the sea, resulting in the nature of this kind of company is somewhat deformed, the company procedures can be formal, but the possession of guns or something has become illegal, if the main business area of the Gulf of Aden, it is most suitable to set up a foothold here in Kutos.

"How did you come up with this?" Xiao Yang had a trace of interest, he had also taken over the escort mission when he was bored before, and he was still familiar with this line of work, "The people who do this in the Gulf of Aden are mainly British and Americans, and these people are not so easy to talk." ”
