Chapter 418: Darkness (1st Update)
Shi Manqing was frightened inexplicably, his mouth was whining, sobbing and struggling desperately.
Unmoved, the two CIAs who controlled him carried him to the deck, which was really a ship, a container ship with a displacement of 30,000 tons, and layers of containers were neatly stacked on the deck.
On the deck, a blue flag hangs, with a white sun in the upper left corner, and two diagonal stripes, one yellow and one white, divide the pattern of the flag into two parts along the diagonal.
It is a freighter registered in the Marshall Islands and one of the CIA's assets.
Shi Manqing understood,
Erwin's attaché stood at the side of the ship and looked at his watch: "How long will it take to get out on the high seas?"
A CIA asked over the intercom and replied, "It's about two minutes, and if it's safe, it's another five minutes." ”
The attaché nodded, looking at Shi Manqing, who had already collapsed on the deck, "Enjoy the last five minutes of your life, you look at this sea, so vast, your luck is good, there are no sharks around here." For a moment you will keep sinking and sinking until you reach the bottom of the sea at a depth of 3,500 meters, where it is very dark and you can't see much sunlight. But don't worry, you're about 50 meters away, and you might lose consciousness, so, quickly, there's no pain. ”
Shi Manqing twitched all over, whimpering in his mouth, is he really going to die?
The attaché looked at his watch again, then clapped his hands, "Okay, it should be almost." ”
The two CIAs first lifted Wolfe, who was still unconscious, and threw it hard, Shi Manqing saw Wolf, who was tied to a heavy object, draw a parabola in the air, fell into the sea more than ten meters below, and splashed a small wave, and then, the wave was swallowed by the waves set off by the freighter, and the sea was as usual.
Shi Manqing saw the two CIAs who had just finished dealing with Wolf walking towards him again, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he got up from the ground and turned around to escape, but his hands were cuffed behind his back, and as soon as he ran two meters, he was pressed to the ground by the two CIAs, and a circle of lead was tightly wrapped around his waist.
Shi Manqing felt himself being lifted and thrown down, he felt that he had been in the air for a long time, as if he was flying, and then he was cold, and the cold, salty sea water ran down his mouth and nose into his stomach and lungs.
Shi Manqing struggled in the water to no avail, and the more he struggled, the more seawater he swallowed.
But Shi Manqing's consciousness was not blurred, and at this moment, he was extremely sober.
He could feel himself sinking, he could feel the sound of his ear drums bursting under the pressure of the water, he could feel the sun on the sea getting farther and farther away.
It's Zhang Chen! Shi Manqing's mind was clear.
It's him, it should be his hands and feet behind his back, otherwise it wouldn't be so coincidental, and Erwin also mentioned him just now.
What I didn't think about or understand just now because of panic has an answer in an instant.
Shi Manqing was actually a little proud.
It seems to be getting darker and darker, so dark, so dark, so cold, so cold.
Maybe he really shouldn't be so greedy, a trace of regret flashed in Shi Manqing's heart.
This...... Is it death?
"Rest assured, Mr. Acting Director, my employer is a legitimate businessman and does not want to get involved in all kinds of struggles, as evidenced by contacting you in advance so that you can handle it internally. Chris held the phone in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other, took a sip, and raised it to his eyes, reflecting the sun, and the red wine in the glass reflected a beautiful fuchsia, like the most beautiful gem in the world.
Chris smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, Mr. Acting Director, happy cooperation, oh no, it should be time to remove the word acting right away, congratulations in advance." ”
Chris hung up the phone and shrugged at Zhang Chen, who was sitting on the sofa: "These two people shouldn't appear in front of you anymore, they have been ......"
Zhang Chen waved his hand: "Chris, I never knew what happened, and I don't know the whereabouts of these two people. ”
Chris was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Of course, we just handed them over to their employers, and everything has nothing to do with us." ”
Zhang Chen stood up, took out another bottle of wine from the refrigerator, opened it with a bang, and poured a glass for Chris, "I prefer the taste of champagne to dry red." This 76-year-old bottle of Salon is not expensive, but it tastes very good, you give it a try. ”
Chris took the champagne and looked at it, although it was cold, it was not icy, the bubbles were even, and the light amber wine looked like a dancing elf.
"Good wine. Chris drank it all and exclaimed.
Zhang Chen also drank the champagne in the glass: "My private legal counsel contract has been sent to your firm, you go back and check it." ”
Chris looked happy: "Thank you." ”
Chris is the new partner of Morris Foster, and becoming a partner, especially a partner in a large firm like Morris Foster, is almost the ultimate goal of a lawyer, which is equivalent to a semi-self-reliant state.
The initial pressure on the new partners is very high, and they are at a tipping point, and if they break through upward, they may be the real upper class, and if they stay put, they are the middle class.
The reason why Chris is trying his best to plan for Zhang Chen is nothing more than this contract, with this $800,000 per year private legal counsel contract, there is almost no doubt that his annual income will exceed one million dollars and truly enter the upper class society in the United States.
Although it can't be compared with those really top rich, but he is a lawyer, and if a lawyer with an annual salary of one million is not in the upper class, what else is the upper class?
And the young rich man in front of him, although he is only 18 years old, is already an out-and-out billionaire, and his personal assets are conservatively estimated to be close to one billion dollars. (Note 1)
How many billionaires can there be in the world with more than a billion dollars?
Chris stared at Zhang Chen, and the closer he got to his young employer, the more he seemed to be unable to see this person.
Originally, like Shi Manqing, he thought that the other party was just an Internet upstart, and he made a fortune with a piece of software. But as more and more contacts and understandings were made, it was discovered that the other party had more than one company under its name, investment companies, foundations, commercial entities, and even a security company!
None of this matters, the important thing is that this teenager actually controls a seat on the board of directors of Salomon Brothers!
This is the real ticket to high society in this era.
Chris is just one of Zhang Chen's personal legal counsel, in addition to Morris Foster, Zhang Chen also has legal cooperation with Achtell and Sullivan Cromwell, from the legal level alone, the power of Tinder Source is no less than KPCB and Sequoia such old venture capital.
If you play with the law, you can play with the United States.
Zhang Chen poured himself another glass, raised the wine glass in his hand, and lightly touched Chris: "Happy cooperation." "Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
