Frankl glanced at Jiang Xinwei embarrassedly, and then said: "The other party offered to ask for 200 million US dollars before releasing him." Our Luches family couldn't scrape together that much cash for a while. ”

Hearing that the ransom was as high as 200 million US dollars, even if it was a big boss, Jiang Xinwei was shocked: "Grass! Such a high ransom, even if it is not a world record, it is in the top ten in the world, right?"

However, Jiang Xinwei began to have doubts in his heart: Are these guys so blatant, just to extort money? This is completely the rhythm of wanting to die. How can any blackmailer in the world be so arrogant, and it is impossible for them to openly confront the state organs with the greatest power, right?

He asked, "Are you sure they're just blackmailing? ”

"I also find it strange that they are also in it for money, and that the more low-key the better, the more so that the police don't find out," Frankl said. However, they are now doing too high-profile, as if they are deliberately leading people to beat them, for fear that they will die unhappily. ”

Jiang Xinwei agrees very much in his heart: kidnapping a famous big boss in broad daylight, and the ransom proposed is an astronomical amount, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a master who only needs money.

At this time, Jiang Xinwei also thought of another strange thing and asked: "Frankl, your Lucis family really wants to save your sister, and you must be able to make up 200 million US dollars." Your sister has earned far more than $200 million for your family in the past few years, and she should have earned more than $1 billion from the Japanese stock market last year and this year alone, is it because you are reluctant to pay this ransom or because you think it will be difficult to save your sister even if you pay the ransom?"

Frankl immediately said: "Of course it's the latter. Besides, even if we are cold-blooded, we are still in business, and knowing the input-output ratio, my sister helps our Luches family earn far more than $200 million a year, and we should pay this ransom for the financial benefit of the family. But. Look at their posture, if we really pay this ransom, will my sister be able to save her?"

Although Mayonie has been working at East-JM Investments, focusing on East-JM's investment banking business, the Luches family can still derive business opportunities from the information she occasionally discloses. For example, when Russia carried out economic shock therapy, everyone thought that the Russian economy would take off because of it. International investment predators are optimistic about the Russian economy and are betting that the ruble will rise, and Mayoni received Jiang Xinwei's instructions, knowing that the Russian economy will only be short-lived, when others think that the Russian ruble will rise, she hinted that her father is betting that the ruble will fall sharply again.

Although her father himself also believed that the ruble would rise and did not dare to bet too much money on it, he still made a lot of money. Moreover, if it were not for Mayonie's reminder, her father would definitely have bet on the rise of the ruble, and he would definitely lose a lot of money. This cancels out the two. Her father made so much more money that members of the Luczes family, including her father and her brother Frankl, were grateful.

If she can be ransomed with 200 million US dollars, the Frankl father and son will definitely not think about it for long, and they will not even inform Jiang Xinwei. Now that they have delayed paying the ransom and come to Jiang Xinxu, they must have other considerations, or other concerns.

In fact, this question does not need to be solved by a smart brain at all, that is, worrying about the other party is a trap set by the other party. And this trap is a bottomless pit, no matter how much you put in, you can't meet the needs of the other person. After receiving the ransom, the other party will intensify and keep raising the chips, and after paying the ransom, they can't stop but passively raise the ransom or meet other demands of the other party.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xinwei was suddenly stunned and blurted out, "You say." Are these kidnappers going for you Luczes or East-JM Investments? Are they going to take your Luczes family's property or are they trying to devour East-JM Investments' assets as much as possible?...... That's why you're coming to me, it's not that you don't have money, are you?"

Frankl nodded. "That's true," he said. We're worried that our entire Luches family's fortune won't be able to feed this group of guys either. If these guys dare to do this, they will definitely not be looking for 200 million dollars. I think these hands-on guys don't care about their lives anymore, and are ready to die. ”

Compared to East-JM Investments, the Luches family's wealth is really not enough. Today, East-JM Investments' assets in Russia, primarily the East-JM Investment Bank, exceed $30 billion.

Jiang Xinwei was taken aback and looked at Frankl dumbfounded. The problem is obviously more serious than Jiang Xinwei thought, this group of kidnappers is completely a group of outlaws, purely people who obey the orders behind the scenes, they are already ready to die, they don't care if they are discovered by the police, they don't care if they are attacked by the army. Their only purpose is to ask for money, to ask for money, to ask for money, until they can't squeeze out money, they start to flee, whether they live or die depends on their luck.

Seeing Jiang Xinwei's surprised appearance, Frankl asked with a wry smile, "Mr. Jiang, don't you believe it?"

Jiang Xinwei said in a deep voice: "Can I not believe it? Although I can't be sure, the other party's posture of fearing that the world will not be chaotic and that there will be no police to arrest them is similar to what you said." Speaking of this, Jiang Xinwei raised his head and asked, "Have you ever had a similar kidnapping case in Italy?"

Frankl nodded and said: "There have been several kidnapping cases, almost every three or four years, these kidnappers don't care about their lives at all, many of these kidnappers have been caught by the police or shot dead by the police, and there are very few people who can escape, but because the people behind them have nothing to lose, the police can't catch them at all, so this kind of case still keeps appearing." …… Speaking of which, it is because those mafias in Italy are very powerful, not to mention that the police can't help them, even those officials of the government also listen to them, they have thrown a few outlaws to resist their lives, and it is impossible to move them. ”

Jiang Xinxu asked, "What about your plan?"

Frankl replied bitterly, "We want to hear your opinion." What we mean is that we both scrape together the money first, pay the ransom as demanded by the kidnappers, and if we can rescue my sister, the kidnappers are not as vicious as we imagined, and naturally everything will be fine. But if we can't get her, if they continue to ransom us, we ...... We, the Luches family, will have to resign ourselves to fate......"

Although Frankl did not say that he would give up on Mayoni completely, that is what he meant in his words. Although there was obvious reluctance in his eyes, he obviously hoped that Jiang Xinwei could think of a way to see if he could use more ransom to smash Mayonie out.

Jiang Xinwei understood Frankl's mood at this time and the decision of their Luches family: If you encounter that kind of outlaw kidnapper, no matter how much money you throw, you can't save Mayonie, instead of smashing the family's property step by step, it is better to stop it as soon as possible, so as not to lose both people and money. Moreover, the property of the Lucches family did not belong entirely to Frankl's father, and he could be forgiven by the other shareholders for using a part of his fortune to save his daughter, who had made a great contribution to the Luches family, but there must have been a degree to this, and the other shareholders would certainly not agree to him gambling all the family property.

The reason why Frankl came to Jiang Xinwei was that on the one hand, Mayoni was his executive, and of course he was notified of the accident, hoping that he could take out a part of the ransom to redeem his sister, and on the other hand, because he knew that East-JM Investment Company had a lot of money and assets much more than the Luches family, and the main thing was that the transfer of these assets was in the hands of Jiang Xinwei alone, and he said that he would smash as much as he wanted, and there was no need to discuss with others at all, whether it was the amount of funds to be mobilized or the time to be transferred, there was an incomparable advantage.

He believed that Jiang Xinwei would not die without help, and would not stand idly by because his sister was kidnapped in Italy, and the kidnappers informed his father and did not notify East-JM Investment Company. With Jiang Xinwei's participation, the hope of his sister's redemption will definitely increase a lot, and it will also encourage other shareholders of the Luches family to be willing to invest more money to save his sister.

Jiang Xinwei still couldn't understand the kidnapper's energy, and he asked, "How can they transport so much ransom money to them? This is not tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, but hundreds of millions of dollars." Not to mention that it is easy to be targeted by the relevant departments when going around in the bank, it is difficult to take out the money and use it at all, even if it is cash, it is difficult to transport the money out in the encirclement of the police. ”

Frankl smiled bitterly: "That's because you underestimated the power of our country's black leaders, they have an underground bank at all, as long as the money is transferred to their account, it will soon disappear without a trace in their underground bank network." Unless the U.S. government specifically orders a thorough investigation into this matter, everything will be lost.

At least we in Italy can't find out the details of them. If you think about it, if we had been able to control them in Italy, would they still exist in this world? Will there still be so many black leaders in Italy? I'm afraid they would have been eradicated long ago. The black leaders have long been not only in Italy, but in fact the black leaders in the United States are not very powerful, and the US police cannot easily eradicate them. Ginger, if you want to start with this, it's simply impossible!"

Jiang Xinwei thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go to your Italy." Please help me to talk to your embassy to get our visa faster. …… , I will arrange for someone to send 200 million dollars to your family's account, but how to pay the ransom will have to be arranged by me. ”

Frankl was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Okay! As long as you report to me the information of the people going to Italy, I will immediately ask the people from the embassy to issue visas." ”
