Chapter 0213: I'm going to fulfill my promise
Scarlett tried for a moment, her expression becoming a little depressed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "No, there is still no signal." We need to go further. ”
Gu Yu nodded and said, "Now, we only have one oar, you can both take a rest, I'll row first, and later, you two will rotate with me." ”
Neither Scarlett nor Del Ford objected to this, there were only three of them on the raft, and no one could sit back and enjoy it, but they had to contribute.
In this way, the three of them took turns rowing, and the other two people sat or lay down when they had nothing to do, saving as much effort as possible and avoiding consumption, and the supplies on the raft were running out, and the three of them had to consume together, and if they didn't want to save it, they really couldn't last a few days.
But even so, their supplies were being consumed at a rate that was visible to the naked eye. On the raft, the lack of food was not the most unbearable, they also had some dried fish prepared in advance, although the taste of the sea water soaked, but they could barely swallow it, and occasionally, Gu Yu or Scarlett could catch one or two unlucky fish passing by their raft, which could be beaten.
The most unbearable thing for them was the lack of water, and after the storm, they were left with only a bucket of mineral water, which was filled with water, which was about twenty liters when it was full, and even if they saved a little drink, it was enough for the three of them to drink for three or four days. On the vast sea, there is no shade to be found, the sun hangs high in the sky, exposed to the three of them, the water in the body evaporates at an extraordinary speed, just that little water, if you really drink it with the three of them, you may not be able to hold on to it for even a day.
Gu Yu knew that it was not a way to go on like this, he always tried to let Scarlett or Del Ford drink as much as possible, he drank as little as possible, and every time he took the initiative to ask for the night shift, when the two of them fell asleep, Gu Yu would quietly take out some water, drink some, quench his thirst, he didn't dare to drink more, for fear of drinking too much, causing the suspicion of the other two people, this feeling was too uncomfortable.
But no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to persevere. Right now, it's one step away from success and can't fall before the finish line.
Fortunately, in the following days, apart from lack of water and food, they did not encounter a school of sharks or storms, and every day was calm, except for the sun exposure, there was nothing.
On this day, Scarlett took out her satellite phone again, she didn't have much hope, but when she saw the signal grid displayed on the phone's display, she screamed in surprise. "Mr. Ford, there's a signal. ”
Del Ford felt that he was about to die, he was injured on the island, and he followed Gu Yu and Scarlett out to sea before he recovered from his injuries, and he stayed on the raft for the past few days, not enough to drink, to eat, and the sun was still so bad, that he was in a bit of a trance.
Hearing Scarlett's words, he didn't react at first, until Scarlett shouted several times in succession, his consciousness returned to his place, he quickly sat down next to Scarlett, and said excitedly: "Quick, quick, hurry up and contact the outside, tell them the location, and let them send someone to save us." ”
Scarlett nodded, and just as she dialed the number, Gu Yu spoke: "Scarlett, don't be in a hurry to call yet, I have something to say." ”
Scarlett raised her head and looked at Gu Yu with some puzzlement. Her action of making the phone also stopped, and now, she has established a lot of trust in Gu Yu, and she believes that Gu Yu must have a suitable reason for not letting her call.
Gu Yu said: "Are you sure that the person you want to call can be trusted enough? The three of us are powerless now, if we really invite a savior, it's okay to say, but if we provoke a calamity, then the three of us will be finished." ”
When Scarlett heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, Gu Yu's worries were not unreasonable, they were still in the vast ocean of the South Pacific, they couldn't reach the sky or the ground, if they really had the heart, they only needed one shell to blow up the raft that the three of them relied on to survive, and when the time came, the three of them would definitely have to feed the sharks. This matter cannot be sloppy at all, and it is not a person who can really be trusted, and it cannot be invited to save them under any circumstances.
Scarlett looked at Del Ford and asked, "Mr. Ford, you have heard what Gu Yu said, and I think it makes sense." Who do you think you can trust your friends and relatives unreservedly?"
Del Ford was in a bit of a trance, but he was not confused, he opened his mouth, and when he was about to say a person's name, he swallowed it back. He has more than 20 billion assets, and he simply controls more than 100 billion dollars of wealth, such a large amount of wealth, no matter who it is, wants to be able to take it from his hands as soon as possible, as soon as he dies, I don't know how many people will die happily, if they let them know that he is not dead, will they take the risk and implement the matter of his death, what should he do?
In the face of huge wealth, what kind of husband and wife love, father-son love, and friendship are all floating clouds. Del Ford has seen so many tragedies in this regard.
Del Ford sighed and said, "I didn't. Scarlett, do you have one?"
Scarlett shook her head, she had someone she could trust completely, but when it was for Del Ford's safety, she didn't dare take any chances.
Seeing that Scarlett didn't have it, Del Ford could only look at Gu Yu and asked, "Gu Yu, do you have one?"
Gu Yu's mind immediately appeared in the figure of a few people, needless to say, his parents, as well as his sister Ye Rou and Sister Yi Nian, they can also be trusted without reservation, Liu Xuepeng, Shu Yuanyuan, Xu Xiaoqing, etc. can also be trusted. It's just that these people have limited capabilities, and there is absolutely no way to go to the center of the South Pacific to pick them up.
Gu Yu went through it in his mind and said, "I think of a person, our Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, Wang Limin. He and I have a personal relationship that I can trust. ”
"Since he can be trusted, then you can call Minister Wang for help. "Del Ford can only choose to believe Gu Yu at this time.
Gu Yu didn't refuse, he took the satellite phone from Scarlett, and then dialed Wang Limin's mobile phone number.
The mobile phone was quickly connected, and Wang Limin's voice came. "I'm Wang Limin, who are you?"
"Uncle Wang, it's me. Gu Yu said.
Wang Limin on the other side of the phone almost jumped up. "Gu Yu, is it really you? are you still alive?"
"Yes, I'm alive. Uncle Wang, a few days ago, I took a plane and let the robbers take me to an island in the South Pacific Ocean, where the geological conditions may be a bit complicated and I can't communicate with the outside world. Two friends and I teamed up to set up a raft, raised some supplies, and escaped from the island. We are now on the sea, and the specific coordinates are west longitude...... ...... Latitude There is no water left on our raft, and the food is basically exhausted, I hope you will quickly let the state send someone to save us. Gu Yu said.
Wang Limin said excitedly: "Okay, you wait, I will report to the higher authorities immediately, and ask the military to send ships and planes to pick you up, you must hold on." ”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yu made a brief report on the phone call between him and Wang Limin, and Scarlett and Del Ford couldn't help but look forward to it when they learned that Wang Limin agreed to let the Huaxia military rescue them immediately.
That is, in less than half an hour, Scarlett's satellite phone rang, and it was Wang Limin calling.
Wang Limin said: "Gu Yu, I have already reported your matter to the State Council, and the premier personally instructed us to let the research ship docked in Antarctica immediately maneuver to your location, and once it approaches the appropriate distance, the carrier-based helicopter will first approach the direction where you are, waiting for an opportunity to rescue you." In addition, the aircraft carrier squadron that is conducting routine military exercises in the western Pacific will also maneuver to your position and strive to meet with the Antarctic research ship and ensure your safety together. We also know about your lack of supplies, and we will first shoot military planes and drop supplies to the sea area where you are located, so as to help you tide over the difficulties first. ”
In order to save him, Gu Yu even sent an aircraft carrier formation and an Antarctic research ship, and this level of attention is really heartwarming. He hurriedly thanked Wang Limin.
With Wang Limin's assurance, Gu Yu, Del Ford, and Scarlett's mental state became excited. They adjusted the direction and let the raft go in the direction of Antarctica, hoping to meet the Antarctic research ship sooner.
The speed of domestic action was still very fast, that is, half a day's work, a transport plane and a tanker plane appeared over the sea area where they were located, and after determining their position, the plane dropped some supplies into the sea around them. In addition to this, several airborne troops and three rubber boats were put on board.
The paratroopers were wearing life jackets, and when they were about to fall into the sea, they cut off their parachutes, landed in the sea, and then swam to the rubber boats.
Several airborne troops successfully climbed onto the rubber boat, and then they rowed the rubber boat and began to salvage supplies. Then approached Gu Yu and them.
An airborne soldier with the rank of major saluted Gu Yu and said, "Comrade Gu Yu, I am ordered by the Central Military Commission to come and escort you and your friends back to China. ”
"Thank you, thank you. Gu Yu said busily.
After the major briefly introduced their situation to Gu Yu, they got busy, they connected the three rubber boats together, and then connected Gu Yu and them to the rubber boat, and the raft was naturally gone.
Subsequently, several airborne troops controlled the rubber boat to row in the northwest direction, which was the direction from which the aircraft carrier formation came, not the direction from which the Antarctic research ship came. They thought that the speed of the research ship was too slow, and it was more worth looking forward to meeting with the aircraft carrier formation.
In this regard, Gu Yu also felt that it made sense, so he asked the airborne troops to be responsible for planning the route.
With these airborne troops, the subsequent voyage became much safer; more than a week later, a nuclear submarine floated up from the bottom of the sea, and this was photographed by the military to pick them up.
Gu Yu and the others left the rubber boat and boarded the nuclear submarine, speaking of which, this is not the first time he has taken a submarine. Just like last time, living in it is extremely cramped, and when you walk, you have to keep your head down, and if you are not careful, you will touch your head.
After a few more days, the nuclear submarine and the aircraft carrier formation met, and Gu Yu and they left the nuclear submarine and moved to the first aircraft carrier in Huaxia. At this time, they are completely safe, and even Lao Mei, unless they want to provoke a world war, no one will rush to snatch them in front of this aircraft carrier formation in Huaxia.
Gu Yu and the others were all relieved, and Gu Yu didn't need the captain to speak, so he took the initiative to give the captain a rough coordinates. The island they were once trapped on has not yet been marked on the world map, and it is very likely that it is still an island that is not occupied by a country, and if Huaxia can preemptively plant the national flag on it and send troops to garrison it, this is a new land.
After reporting to China, the captain received domestic authorization to go straight to the South Pacific, and must try to seize the island before other countries can react.
As for Gu Yu, they were transferred to the nuclear submarine again and returned to China first.
The central center of China was mobilized because of the news brought back by Gu Yu, all departments across the country and the elite under the jurisdiction of the Military Commission were also mobilized, and the navy dispatched nearly half of its warships to the South Pacific Ocean to prepare to seize the islands.
However, these things have nothing to do with Gu Yu, a few days later, Gu Yu and they landed at a military port in China, and then entered a military hospital to recuperate and recover their health.
This stay is a few days, Tong Yinian rushed over to take care of him on the second day of his hospitalization, the parents in the United States cried with joy after learning that he was safe, Ye Rou also repeatedly said that he would return to China to take care of him, Gu Yu considered that his mother's visiting scholar was not a few days away, there was no need to give up at the last moment, so he persuaded his parents to stay until the end, he was fine, no need to worry.
The people who came to visit Gu Yu were not just Tong Yinian. Liu Xuepeng, Shu Yuanyuan, and Xu Xiaoqing knew one after another, Yang Xiaoying and Si Moyu also came to see him, called Gu Chuan, and Mr. Ping Gongzi and Mr. Gang also sent greetings.
However, compared with Gu Yu, Del Ford's side is more lively, and it is said that even the president of country M personally called him to offer condolences, and said that as long as Del Ford needs it, the government of country M is willing to provide all the help it can.
Del Ford has not been in a hurry to leave, he and Gu Yu are neighbors, recuperating together, and have no intention of leaving.
On this day, Del Ford came to Gu Yu again, and he sat side by side with Gu Yu on a bench, his face calm, and he could not see joy or sorrow.
Seeing that Del Ford didn't speak, Gu Yu had no choice but to speak first: "Mr. Ford, what do you say you have been staying here? You said that you are hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute, so why bother spending it here? I have already said it, you don't have to accompany me. ”
Del Ford shook his head and sighed, "Gu Yu, I really let you guess correctly." Didn't you ask me where Scarlett had gone? I sent her back to investigate, and as you guessed, my widow and children were already fighting over my inheritance. Alas, when I was there, how virtuous and virtuous they were in front of me, brothers, friends and brothers, but when I died, all of them were exposed, and everything was shown to me, and I still believed in them so much. ”
Gu Yu said: "Mr. Ford, don't be so emotional. This is all human nature, and many times, in the face of money, any friendship and family affection are vulnerable. You should be able to see better than I can. ”
Del Ford, who was much older, said, "But it really fell on me, and I still don't feel good." Gu Yu, what happened to me is a lesson from the past, you can't step on my mistakes in the future. ”
Gu Yu smiled and didn't pick up the topic. He added: "Even if those bad things happen, aren't you still alive? as long as you show your face, everything can be calmed down." If you want me to say, don't stay here, hurry back to China, and clean up the mess. ”
"Yes, I do need to go back sooner, but I have one more thing to do before I go." ”
"What's the matter?" Gu Yu said.
"Quite simply," said Del Ford, "I have not forgotten that when I was on the island, I promised you a billion dollars to be paid to you to escape from the island with me. I'm about to make good on my promise now. ”
Gu Yu suddenly smiled, he rubbed his hands, and said, "Then what's so embarrassing?"
Del Ford naturally wouldn't give Gu Yu money because they were so familiar, his skin was not so thick, and he was also a promise-heavy person, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to mix so well in the business world. "Gu Yu, I will give you two choices, one is that I will write you a cash check for one billion dollars, and you can redeem it at any bank in the world. There is also an option, I want to give you a share of the fund I manage, so that we are partners. I will take care of this part of the fund for you, my ability, you don't have to doubt, as long as it rises to 1.1 billion in a few years, there will be no problem. ”
Gu Yu thought for a while and said, "If you want to die, just divide a part of the foundation's shares and give it to me, I'm really not short of money now." ”
When Del Ford heard this, he smiled and said, "I knew you would choose this way, you see, I brought the share transfer agreement with me." Let's go to a notary office and sign the agreement now. Or go to a law firm. ”
Gu Yu checked the electronic map and found that there was a notary office that was relatively close, so he rushed over together and signed the agreement under the witness of the notary.
Del Ford volunteered to give a tenth of his foundation's share to Gu Yu.
