But Du Xiao is different, the impression he left on people outside is just a melancholy Du family second younger, and now he has not inherited the meaning of the Du family, just fishing in troubled waters in the entertainment industry, being a model, and can't produce a few works a year, although there are many fans and very popular, but in the eyes of people in the financial circle, what is the point of this, the Du family did not invest in Du Xiao, and they can't use Du Xiao's reputation to make money, how popular the restaurant under the Du family was, how popular it is now, how easy it is to sell its houses, and how easy it is to sell now, and other related industries, Du Xiao can't affect it。

If it doesn't affect, it's useless.

At most, Ying Zhimin took advantage of it, that Ying's Xiaokai, who looked silent, did not inherit the family business, and ran to be a brokerage company, but he didn't expect it to really start.

As for Wu Ziyao, he and Du Xiao and Ying Zhimin are indeed classmates, but how can there be? There are a few bigwigs in their financial circle who have never gone abroad, and who doesn't have a few classmates who have studied abroad?

A good relationship must be good, Du Xiao will inevitably get all kinds of convenience in Tianhua, and may still hold a certain amount of Tianhua shares, but that's it.

Although the regulator can find it, as a regulator, it is impossible to make it public, it is just a routine matter and a fixed review, and his venture capital company, the actual controller and beneficiary responsible person are not Du Xiao, some are Wu Ziyao, and some are Du Xiao's own henchmen.

So even if Du Xiao is in contact with pirates, it is not a big deal, the contact here is, of course, referring to the exchange of money, and whether he will be left with an image.

His only risk is the entertainment industry, but it doesn't matter, he entered Bright Entertainment just to get close to Liu Qianqian, and now Liu Qianqian and him have determined their relationship, Du Xiao has already lived in the Liu family, it doesn't matter if he is still in the entertainment industry, he still insists on doing it now, it's just a sense of responsibility, he can't make his debut, he became popular, so that a lot of fans are obsessed, and the fashion resources are given to him, and then he will run away, at least for a few years, pat the magazine every year, and publish one or two photo albums, which can be regarded as an explanation to fans。

Wu Ziyao didn't agree at first, Du Xiao analyzed him for a long time, and then he was relieved, also for Du Xiao, after all, the entire Tianhua essence is Du Xiao's, if something happens to Wu Ziyao, the last thing to clean up is Du Xiao.

"Where did you meet?" Wu Ziyao asked.

"On the high seas," Du Xiao said, "their identities can't enter the territorial waters, and they are basically wanted, so we drove a helicopter over and went down the ladder directly above the high seas." ”

Wu Ziyao frowned: "It's too dangerous." ”

If something happens, there is no escape on the high seas.

Du Xiao said: "It is normal to seek skin with tigers, and there are risks. ”

But he happened to be in a risky business.

Didn't you choose to be a venture capitalist because you liked the high-risk, unpredictable thrill?

Wu Ziyao sighed, Du Xiao looks steady and heavy, but in fact, he is crazier than anyone else.

"I'm afraid helicopters are inconvenient, what about speedboats?"

Du Xiao said: "I'm afraid the fuel volume of the speedboat can't last, if you drive a cruise ship, the speed is not enough, and it is conspicuous, I have already thought about it, only the helicopter is the most convenient." The other side's boat is not particularly large, there is no place for helicopters to park, but we can lower the altitude, and there is no problem with the ladder. ”

Wu Ziyao said: "Then I am in the helicopter." ”

"No," Du Xiao said, "In addition to the pilot, the helicopter can seat a total of four people, one for me, and the remaining three bodyguards with money." ”

Wu Ziyao said: "One more helicopter is enough. ”

Du Xiao pondered for a moment: "I didn't expect this. ”

He nodded: "It's okay, one more, and the momentum is a little enough." ”

Wu Ziyao did as he said, they exchanged the money for country A's banknotes, filled with several aluminum alloy boxes, Du Xiao's helicopter was full of mercenaries brought over, and Wu Ziyao was a bodyguard.

When I arrived at the agreed position on the high seas, I saw a small tonnage ship parked on the sea, which looked like it had been refitted, and the bow and stern were obviously equipped with thermal weapons and impact devices.

The helicopter pilot lowered the altitude as much as possible, but it was still some distance from the deck of the ship, Wu Ziyao opened the door of the helicopter, and felt the sea breeze blowing in his face, very strong.

And over there, Du Xiao didn't care about these at all, he carried an aluminum alloy box and bolted the seat belt to the descending ladder: "Go." ”

A few mercenaries were even more desperate, each of them was holding an aluminum alloy box, and followed Du Xiao down, a few big men plus the weight of a few boxes, the descending ladder was not as fluttering as Wu Ziyao expected, but very calm, which made him feel a lot more relieved. 020

The helicopter on his side also carries money, and if the ones in Du Xiao's hand can't be negotiated, the bodyguards will send the money again.

The pirates had already been contacted, and they assisted in pulling the descending ladder below, allowing Du Xiao and the others to go down to the deck safely.

"Du!" A burly man with a beard on his face saw Du Xiao standing firm, so he walked up and hugged him, "Long time no see." ”

"Croft," Du Xiao smiled and hugged him back, "It's been a long time, your physique has improved a lot." ”

"Hehe, I sit in this business, so I naturally have to have a good physique," Croft patted Du Xiao's shoulder, "Du, you look strong too." ”

The previous Du Xiao, although tall, was thin, but now Du Xiao is tall and straight, and he doesn't look like he was malnourished before.

Du Xiao said: "Let's go in and talk." ”

Croft smiled and pointed to the two helicopters above: "Your plane is just outside, do you want to go in and talk?"

"It's too windy outside," Mr. Du said, "and I don't like the wind." ”

Croft smiled again, and to his surprise, Du Xiao found that there was not much defense in his eyes.

It's an accident, it's not a particular accident, when he invested in Croft before, the two of them have been getting along well, at that time Croft was not as strong as it is now, although it can be seen that he is also a person who runs the sea, and later after Croft failed to start a pirate business, Du Xiao said to Liu Qianqian that he was still connected with Croft, in fact, it was just a more euphemistic statement.

Du Xiao has always provided him with a certain degree of financial support, of course, Du Xiao is a person who does investment and venture capital, and he is not a trader, and he has never thought of smuggling or hijacking ships, the reason why he supports Croft is purely a personal interest, just like he donates to charities, donates to out-of-school children, and invests in new industries, although piracy is illegal, but Du Xiao simply invests in Croft, he doesn't care about other pirates.

In Ying Zhimin's words, Du Xiao has too much money, and he burns in a panic when he holds it in his hands, so he has to find some channels to spend a little money.

The two of them entered the cabin, Du Xiao didn't look around too unscrupulously, just swept it with the corner of his eye, the interior of the ship was also modified, the whole was not complicated, probably in order to quickly let the sailors rush to overtime, the walls seemed to be all reinforced, and down from the deck was a hall that looked like a warehouse and a meeting house, with all kinds of boxes and goods piled up in the corner, and in the middle were several large tables with oil lamps nailed to the tables.

The sailors still use traditional oil lamps, which are covered with glass covers, and then lit with lamp oil, in order to prevent the ship from falling when it rocks, the bottom of the oil lamp is nailed to the middle of the table.

But now the sky was still bright, and the oil lamps were all off, and only the sunlight that came in through the round window did not shine particularly brightly in the hall.

There were also a few doors on one side of the hall where the cargo was not piled up, which was supposed to be where the sailors slept, as well as the kitchen, and Croft's office.

This ship is not the one that Croft uses the most, and after he contacted Croft, Croft asked him some questions about Jiang Bin's ship, how big it was and what tonnage of the ship.

Although Du Xiao did not have a road surface at that time, he also observed Jiang Bin's ship next to him, it was a relatively standard ship, not very big, Du Xiao had boarded a similar ship before, there were about four or five first-class cabins, about ten first-class cabins, no second-class cabins, and there were large banquet halls and some small facilities. According to the quota of two people per cabin, it can accommodate about thirty guests, plus some staff, and the overall number of fifty people is about the same.

Jiang Bin's boat is his own use, so naturally it is impossible to bring guests, except for the staff on the ship, I don't know how many bodyguards there are, Du Xiao's guess is not too much.

Logically, Du Xiao has no weapons on his side, Jiang Bin has hostages on his side, Jiang Bin really doesn't need to bring more than fifty subordinates with great fanfare, ten is enough, when the hostages are exchanged, there are only five black-clothed people behind Jiang Bin, two of whom are holding three hostages.

I'm afraid there won't be more than twenty bodyguards at most.

After that, Croft said that he knew, and he would arrange it.

And then there is such a ship.

Du Xiao felt that there were not enough manpower in his heart, but he didn't know much about piracy, so he still suppressed his doubts.

Croft's office is very simple, or nothing at all, only a large desk, not by the window, but on the side, one side of the window is empty, only three small round windows, but it is brighter than the hall, opposite the desk is a few bookcases, all of which are full, I don't know what it is, the wooden doors of the bookcases are about to be squeezed out of shape.

"Sit. ”

There were no sofas or chairs on the opposite side of the desk, and the sailors moved chairs from the hall and gave Du Xiao only one person, and the mercenaries he brought over were all standing with the sailors, somewhat crowded in the small room.
