Volume II 62, The Kingdom of Phuket
The plane landed in Africa, and then Jiang Xianyang and Wang Yao contacted the person who picked them up and followed them to an island.
"This island is called Phuket Island, with an area of about 40,000 square kilometers, which is a little larger than the largest island in China, and this island belongs to the territory of Phuket State. "The reception staff on the island, Zhang Hua, is a Chinese and gave a brief introduction to the island in Chinese.
"We've already built a house on the island, and we're going to have to leave it to you to build the factory. ”
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hua took Jiang Xianyang and Wang Yao to dinner.
After the meal, "Wang Yao, I don't know anything, I'm only responsible for giving money, can you roughly say what needs to be done for this project?" Jiang Xianyang asked.
"There are three things that need to be done, the first thing is to buy and build equipment for oil extraction under the sea, the second thing is to build factories for oil storage, processing and other operations, and the third thing is to recruit workers. Wang Yao replied.
Jiang Xianyang didn't understand the first two things, but he still understood the third thing, and asked, "Recruit workers?"
"Some highly skilled people are recruited from within the country, and some people who do repetitive work are recruited directly from the African mainland. Wang Yao replied.
"Then let's do it, I don't understand the first two things, so I'll leave it to you, as for domestic recruitment, your Wang family should be able to handle it, then I will be responsible for recruiting in Africa." Jiang Xianyang said.
"Okay, Brother Jiang. Wang Yao said.
"When you run out of money, come and find it. Jiang Xianyang said.
"Okay. ”
"By the way, can you introduce this Phuket country? Recruitment should be recruited from there!" Jiang Xianyang looked at Zhang Hua.
"This Phuket country belongs to the more turbulent region of Africa, there are three warlords fighting against each other in the country, plus the government army, there are a total of four military groups, they have been fighting against each other for many years, and the country has been in depression. Zhang Hua introduced.
"Then wouldn't it be dangerous for us to recruit like this?" Jiang Xianyang asked.
"In addition to the four military groups in the country, there are many mercenary groups, and even some of the mercenary groups are not inferior in strength to these four military groups, but they value money, not land. Zhang Hua said, "The rich people who come to Phuket will hire them to protect themselves." ”
"You mean, let me hire mercenaries?"
"This is inevitable, not only do you need the protection of mercenaries to recruit, but more importantly, once the island is completed, it is likely to attract pirates, and the protection of mercenaries is needed at this time. Zhang Hua said.
"What, and pirates?" Jiang Xianyang said in surprise.
"Due to the war, many people in Phuket have no food to eat, and they live on foreign-funded resources, but they still have enough to eat this meal, and they are hungry for the next, and in order to make a living, they become pirates. Zhang Hua said.
Jiang Xianyang thought for a while, and then said, "Since they are here to make a living, can you bring them to the island?"
"This ......" Zhang Hua was stunned for a while, obviously he didn't expect Jiang Xianyang's brain circuit to be so peculiar, "I don't know about this, you can try to get in touch with it, but pirates are generally very fierce and don't like to cooperate with people." Zhang Hua euphemistically expressed his opposition.
"Let's talk about it when we have a chance. Jiang Xianyang said, "In that case, we can act now, right?"
"Yes, knowing that you are coming, we have hired ten mercenaries in advance to protect you. Zhang Hua said.
"Alright, let's go now. ”
Immediately afterward, Jiang Xianyang and Zhang Hua and ten mercenaries sailed to Buji Kingdom, while Wang Yao stayed on the island to discuss the next step with the other Chinese on the island.
On the ship, Jiang Xianyang was very relaxed, but Zhang Hua and the ten mercenaries were not relaxed at all, because if they encountered pirates, they had no chance of winning at all, but fortunately, until the ship arrived ashore, there was no trace of pirates.
"Where are you going to recruit workers next, and where are you going to hire mercenaries?" Jiang Xianyang asked.
"The city has a market for young adults where we can recruit workers, and a mercenary hall where we can hire mercenaries. Zhang Hua replied.
"Which one is closer?"
"Young adult market. ”
"Let's go, go to the young adult market. ”
After speaking, Jiang Xianyang followed Zhang Hua to the young adult market.
Although it is a city here, it gives Jiang Xianyang the feeling that it is not even as good as their town, the roads are all broken, the houses are very low, and some are even destroyed, beggars can be seen everywhere on the streets, and there are few cars in sight.
According to Zhang Hua, this is still better, because it is close to the sea, and it is rarely affected by the war.
On the way, we also met some people who looked at us with bad intentions, Zhang Hua said that these people all had the idea of robbing us, but after seeing the ten mercenaries with guns behind us, they dispelled this idea.
Eventually, we came to the Young Adult Market, and the door was an arch with the words Young Adult Market written on it, in English, of course.
Walking into the market, Jiang Xianyang said with some surprise: "Aren't you young adults?
"In front of you is the slave market, and inside is the real market for young adults. Zhang Hua explained.
"Slaves, these things in the twenty-first century?"
"At least there is one here. ”
Jiang Xianyang shook his head, it's better to be Huaguo.
The group continued to move forward, and at this moment, a voice came: "Help me, save me." ”
The group followed the sound and saw a young woman shouting, looking like a Chinese, and the person who sold her noticed the anomaly and was about to beat her.
Seeing this, Jiang Xianyang hurriedly said in English: "Wait!"
Hearing this, the man stopped, "Two bosses, are you going to buy her?" the man said in English.
"Help me. The young woman pleaded.
"How much?" Jiang Xianyang finally bought her.
After inquiry, the young woman was from China, named Zhou Jingyi, and the family traveled with the ship and met pirates, but the whole family was killed by pirates, caught her, and finally sold her here, but in order to sell her for a good price, the pirates did not break her body, but they were also tortured in a different way.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Xianyang asked.
"I ...... I do not know. Zhou Jingyi sobbed.
"Do you still have anyone in the house?"
"Except for some distant relatives, there are no outsiders. Zhou Jingyi sobbed even more.
Looking at Zhou Jingyi who was sobbing, Jiang Xianyang dispelled his previous idea of taking pirates as his subordinates, this group of pirates deserved to die.
"In this case, I will send you back to China, and I will cover all the expenses before you get employed. ”
"Thank you...... Thank you to the owner, though...... But I don't want to go back to China. ”
"Then what do you want to do?" Jiang Xianyang wondered.
"I ...... I heard that there is a place for training for mercenaries, and I ...... I want to go there to train, eliminate that group of pirates, and avenge my family. ”
Jiang Xianyang sighed, another person who wanted revenge, and finally he said: "Since you want to kill pirates and avenge your family, then follow me!"
