Chapter 936: Pirate's Lair
Halleps and others are already ready. When they came, Haleps hurriedly got off the plane to greet them and help them put their luggage items into the baggage compartment.
In the luggage compartment, Guo Zhuocheng brought a lot of things to Halleps, not only professional anti-pressure diving suits, but also hunting rifles, harpoons for fishing, fishing rods, waterproof guns for underwater use, tents for wild accommodation, tools and fuel for wild barbecues, as well as waterproof lamps for exploration, water purification filters, climbing ropes, climbing picks, as well as mineral water, food and other things.
In fact, Sun Xingguo also brought pistols, sniper rifles and other weapons for self-defense, and they were also put on the plane at this time.
When everyone was seated, the plane, which had been approved to fly by the aviation building, roared into the sky and flew lightly towards the southeast.
The destination of the plane was Naha Island in Japan, where they would be replaced by a helicopter rented by Haleps at the airport.
When the plane flew steadily at high altitude, Haleps opened the bar on the plane very conspicuously, poured a glass of red wine for each intake, and said ostentatiously: "Gentlemen, I don't know how it feels to sit on this business plane and drink while looking down on the earth." ”
Sun Xingguo sneered and snorted, dissatisfied with this guy's showmanship. Ouyang Ping put down the wine glass and turned his head out the window.
Guo Zhuocheng smiled and picked up the wine glass, gently swirled and shook it a few times, took a sip, and said to Halleps: "Your wine has been out of the underground cellar for too long, and the taste is a little messy. It would be nice to be able to simulate the environment of a wine cellar on an airplane, and it would be a little longer. Actually, it doesn't cost much. ......, I'm sorry, I forgot, this plane doesn't seem to be yours, and you don't have the right to modify it. The main entrance to this plane is also a little too lazy. ”
Halleps was stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly: "Guo, can you help me, let me make a few more big profits, I will also buy a business jet, and I can lend it to you for free when the time comes." Hehe, in fact, you can buy several business jets without a problem. ”
Guo Shucheng shook his head and said: "I'm not an immortal, how can I guide you to make money at any time." Besides, it is enough for you to have so much money here, and it will not do you any good if you have more money, only harm. ”
"What do you mean?" Haleps said disapprovingly, "Who thinks about money, I can do a lot of things with money." You will definitely be able to help me make money, you are a god! Her Royal Highness didn't know anything before, and she didn't want to go into business, but now she earns more money per death than I make in a year, how unfair it is, I'm her cousin, and I'm a doctor of economics. ”
Guo Shucheng smiled: "Hehe, not to mention Her Royal Highness the Princess, almost any money in the world that you make in every year is more than you in a year, no, you earn more in a lifetime, because you lose money every time you make money." Ph.D. in Economics? I really haven't come out yet. ”
"Guo, you are an insult to a gentleman. I ......," said Halleps, "if you can help me make money, sue me a few tricks, and I won't pursue it." ”
Guo Shucheng swallowed the red wine in one gulp, put the glass on the table, then leaned back on the back of the chair and said, "You better pursue it." I'm done drinking, you clean up here, I need to get some rest. ”
"I ...... I'm not your mercenary. Haleps said depressedly.
"I don't hate you for being clumsy. I don't want fruit or anything, you can give it to them. Guo Shucheng closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
In the afternoon, Guo Zhuocheng and his entourage took a rented helicopter to Gloringe Bir Island. The helicopter dropped off the five of them -- Guo Zhuocheng, Sun Xingguo, Ouyang Ping, Halepsi and a doctor named Sean -- and immediately went back after unloading the relevant equipment and food, and made an appointment to pick them up again in the afternoon.
When the helicopter left, a thin black man of nearly sixty years old and his wife came over to greet him, and greeted him a little flatteringly when they saw Halleps.
Haleps gave a brief introduction to the two sides, and the other party called Romoso and Romosov to enter, which is to help Haleps protect this island, and belong to the Haleps family.
Haleps said to Romoso, "Mr. Romoso, this gentleman's name is Guo, and he is now the master of this island. If you are willing to stay here, I will ask him to continue to hire you to work for him. If you don't want to stay here, you can leave at any time, and I can pay you right away. ”
The Romoso, who was obviously a tropical native, stared at Guo Zhuocheng.
Guo Zhuocheng glanced at Halleps a little surprised, thinking that with such a big island, there is no difference between two more and two less, so he said: "If you want, continue to live here, the salary is still the original, and I will give you as much as Mr. Halleps gives you." ”
The two breathed a sigh of relief, and Guo Zhuocheng smiled.
Guo Zhuocheng said: "You take us everywhere first." Naturally, he assumed the boss's style and commanded.
Because there was no entry here, they ignored the things unloaded from the helicopter and put them under a big tree. Romoso said yes and began to lead the way, while his wife went home to prepare something to eat.
Romoso led everyone all the way over the mountains and mountains, walking around the island without hurrying or slowing.
Because it is located in the tropics, the vegetation here is very lush, the sea is turquoise, there are countless birds flying in the sky, and the white waves crash on the reef and break into countless crystal pearls, giving a feeling of relaxation and happiness. The water is so clear that when you stand on the shore, you can see the fish swimming in the water, some of which are several feet long, which makes the well-informed Guo Zhuocheng stunned.
Ouyang Ping asked Romoso: "There are so many fish here, you can catch them casually, why have all the residents here moved away?" ”
Romoso glanced at Haleps and replied honestly, "Because this is a private territory, we can't build houses here, and we can't just open up the wasteland and farm the land. The main thing is that it is too far away from other places, and even if you catch a lot of fish, you can only eat it yourself, you can't exchange money for it, you can't buy goods, and it's hard to fill your stomach just by fishing, not to mention making a fortune, so everyone left. ”
Haleps said with a smile: "Actually, most of the original life here were pirates or the descendants of pirates, in the past, they drove pirate ships around to plunder, and they were able to grab a lot of goods, and they could escape the attack with the familiar terrain. But now it's too difficult to be a pirate, the army can use radar scanning, warships to chase after it, and it can also be bombed by airplanes, just such a big island, as long as you really want to chase after you, the pirates are basically only a dead end. Even if they go into hiding, their White Spoon pirate ship will be blown up, and the gains outweigh the losses. As long as they are surrounded and suppressed by the army once, they will have no room to survive. ”
With the embarrassment on Romoso's face, Guo Zhuocheng and the others laughed: When a pirate also needs strategic depth, even if there are caves on this island to hide, you can't run the great business of piracy, as long as you blow up your ship, you can only surrender obediently, either be shot or change your ways.
Haleps continued: "Because of the distance from the places where there is a lot of money, the cost of living on the islands is getting higher and higher, and it is difficult to buy things that can be bought on the mainland or on large islands even ten times or even dozens of times the price. At very high prices, foreign merchants were not willing to transport food, clothing, and electrical appliances to these small islands. Because there are few inhabitants on the island, their total demand for goods is small, and the number of single deliveries cannot be large, so the profits earned are naturally low, and they cannot make up their minds from the price. Because the price of goods is high, the income on the island cannot afford to buy, and the price is low, and the income is even more unprofitable. So much so that no merchant was willing to do such a risky business, and the pirates and their descendants could not bear this suffering, so they could only slowly leave here.
However, Guo Zhuocheng listened to Romeso's words and felt that he was not exactly like a pirate, but spoke like a knowledgeable person, but Guo Zhuocheng did not break the sand pot and asked to the end, only hiding his suspicions in his heart.
So far, he has not taken this island to heart, and he has no specific ideas about how to develop it in the future, and he may wait for ten or twenty years to deal with it, such as developing it into a tourist destination or increasing the price and changing hands, and then this man may die, or he will be old and weak, and there will be no damage to him if there is a story.
He came here purely out of curiosity, wondering why Haleps was reluctant to give up here, and at the same time he wanted to take a ride on a business jet and enjoy the superlative way of driving. Although he pretended to be forced when he was on the plane, and expressed his disdain for business jets in front of Halleps, he still wanted to feel in his heart that he had never taken such a billionaire business jet in his previous life or in this life.
Romoso led the group around the island for most of the circle, and it was not until it was time for dinner that they climbed the mountain path up the mountain.
Climbing on the slope of the mountain, Guo Zhuocheng found that the mountain is composed of granite with very large density and strength, only the surface weathered some gravel and sand, the mountain is overgrown with shrubs, vines and broad-leaved plants, although there are also a lot of trees, but the height of their white spoons is generally not high, and they all grow strange shapes, it is estimated that because of the soil layer, the trees can not take deep roots, and the sea breeze is strong, the trees up to the top can not survive at all, the tips of the trees are broken by typhoons again and again, and they grow very strangely.
It is difficult to walk through the jungle, but fortunately, several of them are strong people, Guo Zhuocheng and Sun Xingguo, needless to say, are all from special forces, and these difficulties are not a problem. Although Ouyang Ping is not a special soldier, he is a diver, and his body is strong and unusual, and Halleps, a rich kid, is also strong because he has long loved outdoor sports, so he does not feel tired, but the Romoso pirate, who is also a tour guide, is out of breath because of his age.
