Chapter 126 Somali Pirates
After separating from Grimace and the others, Lin Tian stopped a taxi and returned to the Chen family villa, the car arrived at the outskirts of Huanshan and paid for the car, Lin Tian looked at the Chen family villa and the lights were still bright, and then looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, it stands to reason that Chen Qianyan had rested at this time, could it be that Chen Moxiang didn't play games tonight and ran out to watch TV?
With doubtful thoughts, Lin Tian opened the door and walked in, only to see Chen Tianyan in snow-white pajamas, leaning on the sofa with a trace of sadness on his face.
Seeing that it was Lin Tian coming back, Chen Tianyan glanced at him with tired eyes, and continued to lie on his back in a daze, staring at the ceiling of the roof, as if he was thinking about something.
"What's wrong, what's going on?" Lin Tian curiously leaned over to Chen Tianyan and sat down, staring at her with puzzled eyes.
"It's fine. Chen Tianyan waved his hand, looking a little impatient.
Lin Tian was a little surprised by Chen Tianyan's attitude towards herself today, what happened to her today, why was she lukewarm to herself? Immediately, he asked with concern: "Have you encountered any troubles?" You can tell me, maybe I can help you solve it." ”
Chen Tianyan, who had a sad face, withdrew his dull gaze, stared at Lin Tian without blinking a pair of beautiful eyes, was silent for a moment, and finally asked, "Do you know about Somali pirates?"
"Somali pirates?" Lin Tian couldn't help frowning, Somali pirates are well-known in the world, but compared with the reputation of War Dragon, the reputation of Somali pirates is a bit notorious, like a street rat that everyone beats, as for why Somali pirates have such a bad reputation, this is mainly related to their criminal methods.
Somali pirates are a group of criminals who specialize in robbing ships of other countries at sea, and there have been many incidents of hijacking and violent injury to crew members.
Somali pirates are just a general term, just like the Tiger Group, the Sky Group, the Ghost Group and other groups in the War Dragon Mercenary Army, Somali pirates have four major groups: the Blackbeard Guards, who are the first group to engage in organized piracy in Somali waters; the National Coastal Volunteer Guardians, who are smaller in scale and mainly plunder small ships sailing along the coast; among them, the most powerful pirate group is called the Black Pearl Guards, whose range of activities has left the coastal waters, as far as the deep sea, and even some merchant ships protected by armed forces, they also have the courage to rob。
The Black Pearl Guards are undoubtedly the most ferocious group of Somali pirates, and it is because of the existence of the Black Pearl Guards that the names of Somali pirates are known to the people of the world.
Lin Tian didn't care about the information files about Somali pirates originally, but he remembered that when he was at the War Dragon Headquarters, he saw Somali pirates hijacking Chinese merchant ships, and Lin Tian was angry before he sent the ghost fox to collect information about Somali pirates.
Seeing Lin Tian frowning and silent, Chen Tianyan sat up from the sofa and said worriedly: " Recently, Somali piracy is very rampant, I and the southeast wind of the east because of the old city renovation plan in Xicheng District has some conflicts, on the surface of a harmonious look, secretly our two business organizations have begun to fight openly and secretly, my mother is about to take a merchant ship full of goods across the Gulf of Aden, back to China, this news is known to the whole Yan Jingjing, and the Yan Jingdong family is doing legal business in Yanjing, but often doing some drug and arms smuggling business abroad, recently I heard that the southeast wind went to Somalia, I don't know if it is a conspiracy brewing against the Chen family。 ”
"What?" Lin Tian frowned slightly, even if he knew about the Somali pirates now, but if he wanted to find a pirate figure in the vast sea, it would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that the Somali pirates still had four forces, even if he knew that the southeast wind had found the Somali pirates, but which group of forces was he looking for?
If you want to figure this out, you need more than just time, and you have to send the ghost fox to Somalia in person.
"I persuaded my mother to bypass the Gulf of Aden and return to China, but she insisted on refusing to come back immediately, in her eyes time is money, and the loss of a few days of delay is very huge for the Chen family. Chen Tianyan sighed and said in a low voice.
"Mother?" The words "Lin Wanrou" suddenly flashed in Lin Tian's heart, if he remembered correctly, the mother in Chen Tianyan's mouth was Lin Wanrou, the head of the Chen family. Since this woman applied for the Chen family as a housekeeper, it seems that she has been staying abroad, what is wrong with this today, I want to go back to China?
"Well, I know you can't help, but I'm upset, so I'll let me complain to you. Chen Tianyan saw Lin Tian sitting on the sofa without any expression, and said lightly.
"How many days does the merchant ship have to depart and return to Huaxia?" Lin Tian asked.
"Now we are loading the goods, and we will set sail back to China in about two weeks. After thinking about it, Chen Tianyan guessed.
"There are still two weeks, there is time, I will write back to you in two days, it just so happens that I have a few friends working over there, should I be able to help?" Lin Tian pretended to say, and did not tell Chen Tianyan the truth.
"Do you still have friends over there?" asked Chen Qianyan with a look of disbelief.
Lin Tian nodded, and said with a serious face: "Well, I am also a pirate, let me ask you about it." ”
Lin Tian is words are nothing more than to appease Chen Tianyan's emotions, as for any friends who are pirates, they are all made up by him, he doesn't want a woman like Chen Tianyan to independently support the huge Chen family, and he has to worry about these trivial matters, this can be regarded as a white lie.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Tian's words fell, a smile appeared on Chen Tian's pretty face, and the haze on his face just now dissipated.
"That's true? Great, I'll tell my mother. Chen Qianyan said, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and was about to make a call.
"Wait. Lin Tian stopped Chen Tianyan, laughed dryly, and said, "Wait until I say hello to my friend over there, it's not too late for you to call, that friend hasn't been in touch for a long time, I don't know if he still remembers me." ”
Chen Tianyan nodded slightly, she was too excited, she couldn't wait to tell her mother, but she didn't think too much, she was reminded by Lin Tian like this, she felt that she was too hasty just now.
Seeing that Chen Qianyan's mood had stabilized, Lin Tian pondered: "How do you know that the southeast wind of the owner has gone to Somalia?"
"Recently, he could not be seen at the bidding meeting for the renovation of the old city of Xicheng District, I thought he gave up the bidding, originally I was a little unbelievable, his owner started with real estate, how could he give up this oily Xicheng District, and then sent someone to inquire only after I learned that he went to Somalia. Chen explained.
"Then how do you know that he has something to do with Somali pirates?" Lin Tian asked rhetorically.
Chen Tianyan smiled undeniably, obviously thinking that Lin Tian's question was a little funny, his red lips opened lightly, and said: "Yan Jingdong's family often does some drug and arms smuggling business abroad, most of these businesses choose the sea as the main transportation route, and the place in Somalia is chaotic, presumably he has some secret contacts with those pirates, otherwise it is impossible to transport guns and drugs there so safely." Of course, their so-called contacts may simply be limited to how much protection money the southeast winds give to the Somali pirates each year. ”
Seeing Lin Tian listening to his speech with a serious face, Chen Tianyan paused and continued: " Therefore, if the owner really wants to use pirates to threaten the Chen family's merchant ships, then the best way for the Chen family to fight back is to crush the sea transportation of the Yanjing Jing family, which must rely on the power of those pirates, as far as I know, the largest pirate gang in Somalia should be the Black Pearl Escort, and various countries have sent joint forces to encircle and suppress them, although most of the strength of the Black Pearl Guardian was eliminated at that time, but it did not hurt their core personnel. In the months that followed, the Black Pearl Guardians became a major player among Somali pirates after a period of disappearance. As long as you can find a way to convince your pirate friend to help the Chen family, then I can give them money, as long as the southeast wind really dares to fight the Chen family's merchant ship, then I will let the entire foreign business of the Yan Jingdong family completely collapse, as long as he goes to sea once, he will rob it once, anyway, the Chen family's merchant ships will go to the Gulf of Aden once, and his owner will not only do it this time. ”
Lin Tian looked suddenly enlightened, and suddenly understood why Chen Tianyan was so excited just now, it turned out to be like this, but if he wants to cooperate with pirates, it seems that he has to put in some effort, Somali pirates are generally the masters of money, otherwise they will not be pirates, if there is the financial support of the Chen family, then it is not difficult to cooperate with them, there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests, pirates are the same as this, how much money does the Yanjing Jingdong family pay the Black Pearl Guard, then the Chen family pays double, I don't believe that the Black Pearl Guardian still has dealings with the Yanjing East family。
It's just that Yanjingdong and Somali pirates are really so simple as a cooperative relationship?
