Retreat outside the cave and hand over the harvested applied biochip to the younger brothers to wear, leaving only the chip that stores information.

Those chips that can only enhance a little strength are of little use to me, so it is better to use them to enhance the strength of the group.

Just as I entered the ruins again, I was awakened by the sound of a telephone.

Since I started exploring the Rogue Empire, I've had to stay in my bedroom for more than ten days without going out, living like a drunken otaku.

looked at the number, it turned out to be Ma Xinghua,

"Uncle Ma, you have something to do with me,"

"Ah Yang, are you free now, come to Tongyun Building, I have something to do with you,"

"Well, is there anything I have to prepare?"

"What are you going to prepare, I'm an old man, and I won't introduce you to someone, hurry up, it's really urgent,"

"Okay, I'll go over it,"

I hung up the phone and I was still thinking, what can the old horse do to find me, he is a famous ship king from far and near, with a wide range of people, and the money in his hand is only a lot more than me, where did I find out the news of a shipwreck, and the antiques on the ship,

Don't be surprised, for the really rich people, they really don't care about the price of what they like, and I won't be surprised at all that Lao Ma really paid me to salvage a specific shipwreck.

Driving alone to the Tongyun Building, Lao Ma was pacing back and forth in his luxurious office, obviously not as relaxed as he appeared on the phone,

There was also a tall and handsome young man standing in the office, with a little resemblance to the old horse between his eyebrows and eyes.

"Ah Yang is here, sit down, let me introduce you, this is my son Ma Yundeng, who has just returned from studying for a doctorate in the United States, and your brothers will be closer and closer in the future,"

Lao Ma wants to introduce his son to me, so there is no need to be so formal, I am a man, and I don't need to meet alone in private.

"Hello Brother Yang, my dad always mentions you to me, saying that you are the most capable person of the younger generation, and I am very happy to see you,"

The pony spoke very politely, with a bookish smell, very sincere, which made me feel good,

"Brother Yundeng won't leave when he comes back this time, it's good to stay at home, I can help Uncle Ma more,

In the future, our brothers will come and go, Uncle Ma will take care of me very much, I will be like his own nephew, our brothers are good, I am a good person, and you will know it slowly in the future,"

After a few compliments with the pony, we sat down separately, looking at the old horse's slightly frowning brow, I know, I haven't said anything yet,

"Ah Yang, that's the case, you said last time that you had a good conversation with a Somali pirate leader, I don't know if you can still get in touch,"

Somali pirates, the old horse's ship has been hijacked by pirates,

I quickly took out my mobile phone, which contained the phone number of the translator in Divaio, but I don't know if I changed it.

Generally, when a movie is staged, a pirate who does this kind of thing, after a blackmail once, will throw away the phone card to prevent the victim from retaliating.

"Also, I just haven't fought before, I don't know if I can get through,"

I'll tell you the truth, this will be the time to go to the house, and you can't give the old horse a blind ticket,

"Yes, these pirates won't change their phones, they're not afraid that others will know their numbers,

They are very poor in that place, and if they want to buy a satellite phone card, they must get to the capital Mogadishu to buy it, and each card is said to cost as little as $500, so these pirates will not kidnap and change a card once, and they are very arrogant.

But no one can do anything about them, they can completely ignore anyone's pressure, unless other countries are willing to risk interfering in their internal affairs to attack their bases, if they do that, it can't be solved by changing a calling card,"

After speaking, the old horse smiled at me tiredly, and then said: "I have two ships in the Gulf of Aden, and they were hijacked by those pirates, I don't know what evil these pirates have committed, this time the ransom is ridiculously high, and I contacted the pirate who robbed me, and he fucking said that the previous discount was gone, and said that the order of the leader to increase the ransom amount in an all-round way, no one can do anything,

I remembered the last time you said you knew a little boss, so I called you, and you can help me ask if you can reduce the ransom somewhat, or give me a few days to pay the ransom.

These miscellaneous people only need dollars in cash, his grandmother's, where can I get so much cash for them in a while,"

I understand, the Somali pirates who were blackmailed by me once raised the ransom for passing freighters in order to make up for the shortfall.

Lao Ma's meaning is also very clear, and he probably doesn't have much hope for the so-called little boss I know, just talk about it, and ask me to raise some cash to save people quickly.

Lao Ma's assets are definitely more than mine, but the cash is definitely eight streets behind me.

The old man knew that I had a lot of cash in my hand, so he was probably embarrassed to open his mouth directly, put this problem in front of me, and asked me to lend him money.

Not to mention Nan'an, it is estimated that there are no rich people like me in the entire Quanzhou area, and the liquidity is several times more than the fixed assets.

"Uncle Ma, don't worry, I have the money, you don't have to go to the bank to get it, I can help you make up enough ransom, you tell me what's going on first, and I'll call and ask,"

This reassuring the old horse, the old horse is not unable to raise money, but he can't raise so much cash in such a short period of time.

Ma Yundeng probably hadn't seen his father embarrassed by the wind and rain all the time, and he felt quite uncomfortable, with worry on his handsome face, he reluctantly smiled at me,

Still not familiar, this kid won't be so shy when he is cooked,

"Hey, these pirates who have been struck by lightning," Ma Xinghua's usual appearance of a successful businessman is gone, and now he has long since transformed into a little old man who sighs and complains: "Just last night at two o'clock, my two 50,000-ton container ships were hijacked by Somali pirates on the way to Turkey through the Gulf of Aden, and now they want to extort 50 million US dollars from me for ransom,"

me, are these pirates poor and crazy?

Although I have known for a long time that the ransom for extortion will not be less, it can't be so much.

How much is a shipload of old horses, and he dares to extort 50 million, or US dollars,

"Uncle Ma, didn't your ship go with the escort fleet there?"

I wondered, the old horse is also a veteran who is used to running the sea route, it is impossible to make such a mistake, my fleet called back when passing through the Gulf of Aden, telling me that this time I honestly followed the escort fleet.

"The ship is broken," Ma Xinghua is like a disgruntled little daughter-in-law: "When the ship went to the waters near Oman, one of the wheels had a big problem, and then another cargo ship was towed to Oman, and it took three days to repair.

The convoy didn't have to escort me alone, they set out on time, and let me wait there for ten days, and then join the convoy when it returned with another group of cargo ships."

Understood, the old horse was unwilling to let the ship spend ten days at sea,

The freighter is floating on the sea, and the cost is not said to be anything, just because there is no delivery on time, it can make the old horse take risks.

Sure enough, Lao Ma frowned and said: "I can't afford to wait, this batch of goods is a bulk order that I received from here, and there are more than 50 customers involved.

Moreover, if the convoy comes back, it will not go this way, and if the fleet follows the fleet around the Atlantic Ocean in the south of the African continent, the freight will be doubled, and it will take nearly a month more, so I can only let two ships fight, but I didn't expect ......"

No wonder, there will be a delay of forty days inside and outside here, even if the old horse does not earn freight, those cargo owners will not agree.

"Alas," the pony sighed as well, for even the old horse was waxing in this situation, and he couldn't do it even better.

"Fifty million US dollars," Ma Xinghua sighed after a year's breath: "My two ships, including the total price of the ship and the goods, are about seven or eight billion, and there are ninety-six crew members, and that group of pirates asked me to pay fifty million dollars in a week.

I admit that I am willing to give out 50 million US dollars, who made me unlucky, but I don't dare to go to the bank to exchange so much money, and the black market can't raise so much money for a while......"

I understand, I still don't want the outside world to know that the ship has been hijacked, I'm depressed, why is this happening, the one who is blackmailed is always more nervous than the pirate who robs,
