"It's just a few hundred million," Cage said lightly, this guy's tone, as if he was not talking about hundreds of millions, but casually took out a few dollars from his pocket, "In the past two years, the world's shipping industry has been in a general recession, and everyone has not had much work to do, and a lot of shipping companies have fallen." Those failed shipping companies had shipbuilding orders before, and when the shipping company arrived, naturally many ships that had already placed orders and were still in the process of construction on the slipway could only be parked at the shipyard because the shipping company had collapsed. Some of these ships are nearing completion, and some are finished when they are ready to be delivered to the customer. ”

Zhang Lan nodded, the world's shipping industry in the late twentieth century was indeed quite a period of recession, and there were quite a lot of shipping companies that went bankrupt, but after the second half of the 9th century, with the rapid rise of China's economy, the world's shipping industry followed a big light: almost all shipping companies engaged in transportation to China made a lot of money.

"So you can imagine what it was," Cage said, "and the guys at the shipbuilding companies were so desperate that they almost begged us on their knees to buy it, because if we didn't get rid of the ship we had and get it back to the money, they were going to fail." In your previous words, at this time, we are naturally the uncle, those guys are the grandsons, we are naturally very bargaining, those guys in order to recoup the funds, basically at the cost of the price difference is not too much cheaper. \\/\”

"Uh-huh," Zhang Lan nodded frequently as she listened, "This is a good advantage." ”

"By the way," Cage suddenly remembered something, "Looks like you have a subordinate, um." It's a guy named Lai Changxing, this guy is also a little capable, he can actually smuggle hundreds of thousands of tons of crude oil to your country at a time, this guy is our oil tanker, see that this guy is on the ground under your hands, I gave him a discount on the freight, and this guy is happy to death. ”

Hearing Cage's words, Zhang Lan was finally thundered this time: ***, and turned around. In the end, I still have an inseparable relationship with the fat man surnamed Lai? Depend on! This guy even became a customer of his own subordinate company?! The guy who overthrew Lai Changxing in the future has now been shot by the old man who was so angry that he was killed because of the crime of betraying state military secrets during the Taiwan Strait in 96.

Lai Changxing was taught a lesson by Zhang Lan before, but this guy understood the truth of making a fortune in a muffled voice, and he was no longer so arrogant. \\/\ Know that there is money that everyone needs to earn together to be safe. In a word, this guy is smarter than before! Lai Changxing naturally did not harm the interests of these two major domestic oil giants as he did in the past, and he would not regard Lai Changxing as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, and would try his best to kill him in the future.

Not only that, but the two major oil giants, PetroChina and Sinopec, buy such smuggled crude oil. Naturally, there is no need to pay taxes to the state, and a part of the extra income is naturally formed, and this part of the extra income naturally forms a small private treasury between the top leaders of PetroChina and Sinopec.

Now Lai Changxing is actually better mixed than in history, but this guy is much more low-key than in history, in a word. This guy learns smartly.

In Zhang Lan's opinion, in the foreseeable future, as long as this guy recognizes the situation, he should not be in trouble.

Well? No, Zhang Lan was depressed for a while: I was talking to Cage about the boat just now, why did I get involved with Lai Changxing again?

"By the way, you just said that transporting a large number of local personnel and equipment to where it is needed when necessary, probably requires some modifications to some ships, right?" Remembering what Cage had just said, Zhang Lan asked curiously. \\\\

"Of course, retrofitting is a must. These ships can be used for transportation in normal times. It can also be used as a troop carrier when necessary," he said. Cage was very proud, "We are refitting those four 100,000-ton container ships. Because these ships are large and carry a lot of things, as long as there are two container ships, a team of 0 people can be brought with them along with all the combat equipment without delaying our transportation mission! Not only can you bring armored vehicles, but you can even bring a few helicopter gunships that we have modified ourselves, anyway, next year, oh no, it should be said that this year, this year's thing that you are preparing in Indonesia, our side is well prepared. ”

Zhang Lan really didn't expect that before he knew it, Cage had done so much for himself.

"When the time comes, we can take the heavily armed soldiers and dock at the port on the Indonesian side with the request for a freighter to dock to replenish supplies, and then," Cage waved his arm excitedly, looking very excited like Hitler, "as long as you give the order, those Indonesian monkeys don't want to jump." \//\”

"Thank you." Zhang Lan looked at Cage with a sincere face, he was really grateful for what Cage did for himself silently, this guy was like Xiao Chenxi and Alice, two girls, he didn't say anything, and silently took his needs into account.

"Thank you for what I'm doing," Hearing Zhang Lan's words, Cage's eyes lit up, he quickly lowered his head, and when he raised his head again, there was no change, but his tone still didn't change, "Those veterans in Bayonets and Roses who are injured and are not suitable to fight anymore, or those mercenaries who have made enough money and are unwilling to do this kind of life and death wandering between life and death, but are unwilling to leave Bayonet and Roses, I, as the boss, always have to find some work for them, and I know, These guys don't seem to know anything but pick up guys to fight and kill. ”

"So, it's a coincidence," Zhang Lan smiled, and took Cage's words, "This fleet you have built can help those mercenaries who are injured or disabled and can no longer continue to fight find decent jobs: although they are not suitable for fighting on the fierce battlefield, with their abilities that they have trained on the battlefield over the years, as long as they are given the right weapons, there is still no big problem in protecting an oversized cargo ship; As for those guys who have made enough money and don't want to continue the war but are unwilling to leave Bayonets and Roses, they are also allowed to work as crew members on ships and escort ships, although they are still doing the same as their old job of fighting, but it is not like the battlefield, there is almost no risk, and this fleet of Bayonets and Roses has become their ideal choice, right? ”,

"That's it!" Cage patted his thigh excitedly, "Little master, don't you know, at the beginning, there were some blind little thieves who had the idea of beating our fleet, but since we killed a few pirate teams who thought of the idea of our fleet near the waters of the Strait of Malacca and Somalia in Southeast Asia, whenever they look at the freighters flying our bayonets and roses, those pirates are honest like little sheep!" Haha, let me tell you, seeing that our fleet is so majestic, when our fleet sails, many fleets also want to join our fleet. \//\" "Did you agree?" Zhang Lan was very interested in this question: I didn't expect such a thing? Fight piracy? Depend on! That was more than a decade later, but I didn't expect Cage and the others to fight the pirates first, and I don't know how Cage dealt with those guys who were deeply affected by pirates?

"Agreed, why not?" Cage's face turned red with excitement, "They asked to join our fleet, let our fleet provide them with protection, and if they want to temporarily hang the flag of bayonets and roses on their ship, they will naturally give us protection money, right?" Otherwise, who will give them strength in vain? Why don't we make money for nothing like this? I'll tell you, sometimes when there are a lot of ships joined, the protection fee collected from these guys alone is enough for us to earn in this transportation. The fleet now makes no less money than Bayonets and Roses make in battle. ”

"Holy!" Zhang Lan couldn't help but curse, "Isn't that why many guys in Bayonets and Roses want to enter the fleet?" ”

"Not really," Cage honestly shook his head, "I'm talking about the money we make, not the crew's money." Those guys who work as crew members and bodyguards make much more money than when they were mercenaries. ”

Zhang Lan nodded, and was finally relieved: Fortunately, the money earned by working on both sides is much different, if the money earned on both sides is about the same, those mercenaries in "Bayonet and Rose" are thinking about "stabbing the bodyguard crew all day long, it is easy and a lot of money, so do "Bayonets and Roses" still want to live!?

With Cage's unexpected surprise, Zhang Lan began to become more confident about the operation in Nanyang next year: a container ship with heavily armed soldiers, various heavy weapons and helicopter gunships would be different from a large two-phase landing ship for the Indonesian monkeys?

At that time, the reaction of the so-called Indonesian "army", which can only bully ordinary people and tremble in fear even when they meet pirates, will be expected. Since it has been possible to collectively send all the combat forces of 4,000 people to Indonesia in the shortest possible time, the only thing that needs to be concerned now is to let Singh determine the direction of the march and the battle plan in Indonesia at that time. ”
