Chapter 336: Press Spokesperson
Cheng Liping didn't mind, he just needed to convey this word. The reason why business bigwigs are bigwigs is because they are more profit-seeking than ordinary people. Take Kang Yihui as an example, he is worth tens of billions, but when he heard that there was a way to make money, his eyes still lit up. The same is true for other successful businessmen.
took a business card of Kang Yihui, and Cheng Liping slowly said goodbye and left. Kang Yihui thought for a moment with a calm face and dialed Xu Jinsheng's phone. Around the situation of the water blue diamond, the two communicated for more than ten minutes. Putting down the phone, Kang Minshu came back, looked left and right, frowned and asked, "What about the person surnamed Cheng?" ”
Kang Yihui said: "Let's go." ”
Kang Minshu gritted his teeth, and just wanted to turn around and chase after him, but was stopped by Kang Yihui.
"Don't mess with him just yet, kid." Kang Yihui said lightly. He didn't ask about the second aunt, because he knew Kang Minshu's style. Since he didn't report to himself, it means that Cheng Liping is telling the truth, and Kang Minshu has ended this matter in the best way.
Back at the company, Cheng Liping sent a secret letter to Liu Weiguo, asking him to prepare a batch of diamonds in the near future and ship them out while the Vietnamese blockade was relaxed. A few minutes later, Liu Weiguo replied, saying that the ore had been prepared for a long time, but the transportation situation was more difficult. The Vietnamese are now surrounding but not fighting, and there are also unknown ships in other directions of Red Island. Even China has sent two fishery administration vessels to patrol the nearby waters day and night to prevent unidentified vessels from entering Chinese waters.
Cheng Liping knows that the situation is getting more and more complicated, and the fact that no outsiders have landed on the island for the time being does not mean that no one knows the secrets of Hongdao. Several big countries have satellites in the sky, just enter a few parameters, focus on this, and all the secrets will be impossible to hide. Cheng Liping had no choice but to move the funds from the LC Group's account again, and asked Jiu Ye to get a batch of *, and asked them to send someone to the high seas, waiting for Liu Weiguo to come over to receive it. Jiu Ye has been doing this kind of business all year round, and the heads of customs in various countries have a little relationship. Cheng Liping's heart moved, and he added some extra money to Jiu Ye, saying that Brother Liu's goods were also asked to be transported back to Hong Kong.
Jiu Ye is very happy, anyway, the return trip is an empty boat, why not make more extra money. It's just that Liu Weiguo doesn't have a big ship there, so he can only take advantage of the dark to transport goods in a small boat. The ninth master transported the goods over, and naturally there was no loss at all, but when the diamond was transported to the ninth master's ship, Liu Weiguo worked hard. Even so, a small boat was overturned by the waves, and all six crew members and diamonds on board were killed in the sea.
* In the early morning of the second day after the arrangement, a medium-sized shrimp fishing boat without any nationality logo sneaked up on the outskirts of Red Island at dawn. The Vietnamese warship fired several shells, but the shrimp boat was fast and several shells did not hit the target. Liu Weiguo looked at the water column that exploded on the sea with a telescope, and ordered Zhang Yang to call up the soldiers on the island, collect weapons and ammunition, and be ready to fight at any time.
Ding Er led a small group of men and horses to guard the northeast side of Red Island, where there were five or six heavy machine guns and two flat-fire guns, and they took advantage of the landing invaders. Hu Hao brought another team of men and horses to garrison the southwest, which was directly opposite the Ji Hai on the other side of the strait, and maybe the Vietnamese would take advantage of this opportunity to touch it.
Just as the people on the island were preparing for battle, the shrimp hunting boat crashed into one*. Only a loud bang was heard, and the high-speed shrimp fishing boat was torn apart, and it was buried in the vast sea with billowing smoke and fire.
The Vietnamese ships that were tracking were startled and hurriedly retreated, but the naval guns fired two shots near the coastline as usual, signaling the unconditional surrender of the people on Red Island. This kind of drama has been performed many times, and Liu Weiguo ignored it and continued to look at the sea from the telescope. After looking at it for a while, Liu Weiguo suddenly shouted loudly: "Zhang Yang, there are people alive on the sea, bring a few people to rescue them." ”
Zhang Yang saluted and turned around and went out. After more than half an hour, several white Europeans and Americans were brought to Liu Weiguo. Several people drank a full stomach of seawater, vomiting and rolling their eyes. Liu Weiguo sighed, knowing that these people were all saved, and he couldn't listen to their identity information, so he could only turn around and leave silently.
Sure enough, after breakfast, Zhang Yang said that the white men had already hung up. However, there was also a white woman who survived, and it turned out that she was a diving enthusiast who knew the simple common sense of saving herself in the sea. Liu Weiguo put down his rice bowl and walked over, only to see the Caucasian woman bathing in the small stream on the island. A group of tribal islanders and soldiers all looked at her like aliens, but she was unmoved, washing the salt off her body in the water as usual. Liu Weiguo strode over, stood on the bank of the stream for a moment, and asked her English-speaking subordinates to hurry up.
The Caucasian woman glanced at Liu Weiguo curiously, put the wet clothes on herself, and walked in front of Liu Weiguo happily. The soaked clothes couldn't hide her figure, and Liu Weiguo could even clearly see the buds on her chest and the golden hair underneath. However, Liu Weiguo has never had a good impression of this kind of shameless foreign woman, and asked people with a straight face who she was and why she came to Hongdao.
The Caucasian woman seemed surprised that there were people on the island who spoke English, and she babbled, gesturing as she spoke, like a beautiful female monkey. The English-speaking soldier translated: "She said her name was Hatherine and she was a reporter for Time magazine. There are no pirates or soldiers on the shrimp fishing boats, they are all spontaneous media people. The famous Pulitzer Prize-winning Aegis was on it, but unfortunately there was no body left dead by the bombing. Poor Aegis, he also has two daughters who are just thirteen years old. ”
Liu Weiguo said expressionlessly: "Don't say these useless things, ask her what she is doing here." ”
The soldier translated, and Hatherine looked at Liu Weiguo in surprise, and suddenly shouted emotionally. However, in front of a group of heavily armed soldiers, she did not make drastic movements. When she finished speaking, the soldier continued to translate, and it turned out that the reporters had heard that there were tribal natives on the newly discovered island, so they wanted to come and find out. But when they chartered a boat and went to sea, they were stopped by the Vietnamese army. The reporters had no choice but to secretly find a shrimp fishing boat, pay for an advanced diesel thruster, and touch it at dawn. No one expected that the Vietnamese warship would open fire without authorization, and the unlucky shrimp fishing boat would collide again*, a team of fourteen reporters, and Hetherine survived alone.
Liu Weiguo smiled noncommittally, this kind of lie can deceive others, but it can't deceive Liu Weiguo. If Hatherine was just an ordinary reporter, she would have cried a lot when she saw the tragic death of so many of her companions. This woman is still in the mood to take a shower, which is enough to prove that what she said is a lie. Called Zhang Yang over and whispered a few words, Zhang Yang took two people and turned around and left. Liu Weiguo stopped talking nonsense with the woman, pointed to the natives of the tribe and said, "The person you are looking for is here, if there is anything you want to ask, go and ask them." ”
The tribesmen didn't know English, Hatherine didn't know the Vietnamese vernacular, and everyone stared at each other, and no one knew what the other was saying. Liu Weiguo arranged for two more soldiers to follow Hatherine throughout the process, lest she discover the secrets of the diamond mine. Hatherine stayed on the island for a whole day, did not collect any useful information, and sat on the beach angrily and cursed Liu Weiguo with circles.
At night, Liu Weiguo ordered someone to bring dinner to Hatherine. Two sea crabs, a few grilled fish, and a glass of wild fruit juice. After Hetherine finished eating, she didn't talk about the outlying islands, and found a random place to sleep.
Liu Weiguo ordered Zhang Yang to keep an eye on her the whole time, and drove around Hongdao in a jeep. The Vietnamese had more and more ships, but, for some reason, the landing campaign was never launched. News also came from Cai Yashi's side, saying that the Vietnamese military had sent an independent regiment, numbering about 1,000 people, to the vicinity of Cat Hai City, and was now all assembled in the open area between the city and the seashore.
Cai Yashi asked Ying to go back, saying that he would meet the battle with his brothers. Liu Weiguo rejected his request, and said seriously that you can better help everyone by staying in Jihai. Cai Yashi is still young, he doesn't understand the meaning of Liu Weiguo's words, and Liu Weiguo doesn't explain, so he will slowly figure it out in the future.
Back at the camp, Zhang Yang reported that the woman was really restless, and she didn't wear clothes in the middle of the night, so she actually went to seduce the men in the tribe. Liu Weiguo smiled coldly, loaded the pistol, opened the safe, and walked straight to the place Zhang Yang said. Before he could get there, he heard the woman's rapid gasp. But the woman didn't forget to get down to business, and while mixing authentic English catharsis, she kept asking who these aborigines and Asians were galloping behind her.
The native's waist shook rapidly, and suddenly a gunshot rang out, and the native's body tilted and fell on top of the Caucasian woman. The Caucasian woman collapsed to the ground in fright, and when she looked sideways at the native, she saw that his head was blooming, and a large bullet hole with flesh peeking out of her right temple.
Liu Weiguo walked over quickly, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed against the woman's head. The woman screamed, "No, no, no, don't kill me." ”
Liu Weiguo grimaced and said coldly: "It turns out that you can still speak Chinese." Tell me, who the hell are you and what are you doing here? Give you five seconds, and if you don't say anything, I'll shoot. ”
Looking at the corpse next to her, the woman knew that Liu Weiguo was not joking, and immediately said like pouring beans into a bamboo tube. "My name is Hatherine, and I'm a reporter for a newspaper in the United States." Liu Weiguo's hand gently pulled the trigger, and the sound of the spring wire drawing sounded terrifying and terrifying. Hatherine screamed, "Don't shoot, I'm telling the truth!" ”
Liu Weiguo said: "Go on." ”
Hatherine sobbed, "We heard that a new continent has been discovered here, and there is an island underneath the island, so we stopped by and have a look." There are American agents on board, I know that, but I'm not all the way with them. ”
Liu Weiguo smiled gloomily: "According to you, you are a real reporter?" ”
Hatherine nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, General, please let me go, and I will go back to the United States immediately." ”
Liu Weiguo shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, madam, I won't kill you, but I won't let you go." From now on, you will be the spokesperson of our Red Island. ”
