Putting down the microphone, Tang Jiu said, "Third child, it's too late to catch up, one of our accountants was kidnapped, an hour ago." ”

I haven't seen him for two years, and Tang Jiu has changed a lot. There is no trace of the old farmer or dung picker on him, and he is no different from the Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia in Tang costume. However, Li Lu noticed that Tang Jiu was aging very quickly, and when he was in his forties, wrinkles had already begun to appear on his face.

It is conceivable that the past two years have been under high pressure.

The hardships of working overseas can be seen.

Tang Jiu pointed at Liu Xiaoguang and Zhong Tieshan, and said, "Monkey, Tieshan, you go and reconnoiter the situation, it's He Zi's boyfriend who called." ”

"Yes!" Liu Xiaoguang and Zhong Tieshan immediately left quickly.

"Third child, sit." Tang Jiudao looked at Zhang Weiwei and Wan Shan, and said, "You are Zhang Weiwei, you are Wan Shan?" ”

Zhang Weiwei and Wan Shan greeted each other in unison, "Hello Uncle Nine." ”

"Okay, sit down, take a break, and I'll talk about the situation." Tang Jiudao.

Everyone sat down one after another, and Zhang Jianguo poured water.

Tang Jiu said to Li Lu, "He Zi is the accountant we recruited locally, the local Chinese, after the inspection period, the girl is very capable, and has been responsible for the company's financial expenses in Singapore." It happened suddenly, and now it is only known that the kidnappers called her subject and demanded a ransom of $100,000. ”

Li Lu raised his wrist and looked at the time, 22:30 Huaxia time. At this time, Singapore, like Malaysia, uses the East 7 and a half districts, which means that it is 30 minutes earlier than China time, that is, 22 o'clock.

"It's a working day?" Li Lu asked.

Tang Jiu nodded and said, "Yes." The end of work in the afternoon is 18 o'clock sharp. He Zi's subject said that He Zi did not go home immediately after work, but went to the store. At about nine o'clock in the evening, He Zi's subject received a call from the kidnappers, demanding a ransom of $100,000. ”

After a pause, Tang Jiu continued, "He Zi is one of the most outstanding performers in our first batch of recruits. During the Anti-Japanese War, her grandfather sold all his belongings and donated them to our party. Her father is very appealing in the local business community, and he has always been devoted to our party, and has always wanted to return to his roots, but unfortunately he has not been able to do so for some reasons. ”

Li Lu noticed that what Tang Jiu said was "donated to our party", which was the point. At this time, Li Lu had already understood what Tang Jiu meant, He Zi was very important, not just because she was the accountant of Red Star's overseas Singapore branch.

At this time, Zhang Weiwei couldn't help frowning and asked, "Uncle Nine, the kidnappers asked for 100,000 US dollars, isn't this normal?" This amount of money is obviously inconsistent with the identity of the daughter of a big businessman. ”

Tang Jiu said, "He Zi's father runs two grain stores, and the business is not big, and his appeal in the business world is not because the business is very large, but because He Zi's grandfather is highly respected in the local Chinese circle. It's a pity that the old man passed away a few years ago. ”

He shook his head slightly and said, "One hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount. ”

Zhang Weiwei and Wan Shan didn't understand, it's just 100,000 US dollars!

Li Lu sighed and explained, "Not to mention in Singapore, even in developed countries such as the United States, Britain and France, if you have 100,000 US dollars in your hand, you can already have no worries about food and clothing." ”

After a while, Zhang Weiwei and Wan Shan coincidentally found the problem. Because they all work by Li Lu's side, they are usually exposed to tens of billions of dollars, and millions of dollars are all immunity. When you see too much, you will naturally become numb. Therefore, it is logical to be surprised to hear that the kidnappers only cost $100,000.

The concept of Huaxia currency is different, because they have to live in China after all, and if they have a life, there will be money and material transactions, and they have a clear concept of prices.

Now Singapore is still struggling to make ends meet, and you can imagine what the concept of 100,000 US dollars is.

"It's almost certain that the kidnappers know He Zi's situation very well, and I guess the kidnappers must know that she works for a very rich company, and she is an accountant." Li Lu analyzed and said, "Her father only runs two grain stores, and he will never be able to come up with such a large amount of money." ”

Saying that, Li Lu looked at Tang Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, you have been targeted by someone with a heart. ”

Tang Jiu was not surprised at all, when he answered the phone, he had this kind of guess. Kidnappers don't just kidnap a person and ask for a ransom of $100,000 when they open their mouths, that's a head-off thing, and when they can't be sure that the meat ticket family is capable of coming up with this money, kidnappers with a little brain will not act rashly.

Wan Shan suddenly said, "There is a problem with He Zi's object, Uncle Jiu, I suggest that he be controlled immediately!" ”

Who knows, Li Lu and Tang Jiu looked at Wan Shan at the same time, both laughing.

Wan Shan didn't understand, Zhang Weiwei just thought of this, and when he saw this situation, he also felt strange.

Li Lu said, "Uncle Nine asked the monkey and Tie Shan to go, and they naturally knew what to do." ”

Zhang Weiwei and Wan Shan suddenly realized, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed - underestimating people.

In fact, because they have never intersected, Zhang Weiwei and Wan Shan don't know many people here, and they don't know exactly who they are. In fact, in terms of personal ability, the backbone of Singapore's side, if you pull out any one, you can compete with the core backbone of the inland port base camp without winning or losing.

In terms of social experience, perhaps these people overseas have more experience. In the country, at least the language is interoperable, and there are no problems in communication. When Zhang Jianjun and his gang went abroad, the first thing they faced was a serious language barrier. In addition, there are living habits, regional customs, personalities, taboos, discrimination, ...... And so on and so forth.

Not a single one of them has come over, and it has been two years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have been reborn.

Li Lu asked Tang Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, what are you going to do?" ”

Tang Jiu didn't hesitate much, and said, "Find the location and rescue the person." Our workhorses are all on this side, no problem. ”

However, Li Lu shook his head and said, "My opinion is to pay a ransom to rescue people." ”

Everyone was stunned.

This is definitely not Li Lu's character, he is a person who is ashamed of blood for a tooth, how can he obediently pay the ransom?

There must be something else to say about it.

Even Tang Jiu couldn't understand why Li Lu chose this way for a while.

Li Lu said, "Inform her father of Ho Zi's incident, notify the Singapore police, and on the other hand, we will speed up the payment of ransom to save people." ”

At this time, Tang Jiu figured it out, "You plan to use this opportunity to put pressure on the Singapore government?" ”

Shaking his head with a smile, Li Lu said, "That's a government, I don't have the ability to put pressure." However, through this incident, it is not impossible for the vast number of Chinese in the local business community to truly feel the severity of the public security situation and arouse their great attention. ”

Tang Jiu understood, he wouldn't say anything, and immediately said, "Then do it according to your wishes." It's very easy, the kidnappers want money, and I arrange for someone to pay the money directly to save people, no problem. ”

Li Lu pointed to Wanshan and said, "Wanshan will follow and familiarize yourself with the environment." ”

"Yes!"
