"In ancient times, Lin Zexu Humen sold cigarettes, and now there is Shi Shaoying Eller to make tea, I did what a good friend should do, but he shook his face and threw me aside, which shows that the 'good friend' he is looking for is either to erect a face project in front of you, and to show his mind and spirit by expressing goodwill to me, or he wants to make some friends with wine and meat, and everyone can't pee in a pot at all, so it's better to wave goodbye to each other, and go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers!"

Kai Belin couldn't help but be dumbfounded, she really hadn't seen such a way of dealing with people as Shi Shaoying. Although theoretically speaking, what Shi Shaoying did was not wrong or even right, but in reality, those who dare to use this attitude to get along with others can definitely be called alternative. She looked Shi Shaoying up and down, and snorted lightly: "I thought your injuries were serious enough at first, but now I know that your injuries are too light." With your style of doing things without leaving anyone to show any affection, it can be called a miracle that you have been able to survive in Somalia until now! ”

"In the language of our country, the annotation of the noun hero is...... Heroes, with the ambition of Lingyun, the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, the heart of the four seas, and the frankness of despising all hypocrisy! ”

Shi Shaoying sat back in the passenger seat of the car, and he didn't say the rest of the words, but when he heard the strings, Kai Belin should also be able to think of it: Yamur, who can't even burn a few bundles of khat tea and can't burn it, is not qualified to be called a hero. At best, he is just an outlaw who sees the benefits and doesn't want to let go, so he pulls everyone to gamble with him.

Chapter 6 The city is full of weddingsHalf an hour later, the convoy finally drove into Elle, a Somali pirate stronghold that the world is looking at!

Until a few years ago, Ehler was a humble coastal town in Puntland province in northeastern Somalia, where the vast majority of its people lived by fishing and living in the most rudimentary shacks made of tin sheets. But in just a few years, spurred on by the "pirate industry", this fishing village has developed into a beautiful city.

On both sides of the street are small stone buildings with some extravagant villas in between, and near the port, locals have built hotels and restaurants that are already of the same standard for Somalia as a country, and their role is to "entertain" sailors or guests from all over the world who have been kidnapped by them, so that they can eat their favorite food in Ele.

Somali pirates have done a pretty good job of treating hostages favorably.

In this city, in addition to the civilians with AK rifles with them, you can also see some men in suits, crisp leather shoes, meticulously combed hair, and notebooks in their hands, hurriedly boarding the parked cars on the side of the road, honking hard, and disappearing into the other side of the street in a blink of an eye.

"They are translators or accountants, and once someone hijacks a freighter or an ocean-going fishing boat in the Gulf of Aden, and takes the ship around Bossaso and successfully returns to Port Elle, an interpreter will come forward to negotiate with the other shipowner to finalize the specific ransom amount, and after the shipowner transports the money in a small boat or drops the money by helicopter at the designated place according to the content of the negotiation, it is the turn of the accountant to go out to count the ransom items."

As she drove, Kebeline briefed Shi Shaoying about the basic "business" process of their special group: "We don't accept checks, and we refuse bank transfers for security reasons, and the shipowner must prepare a large number of unserial US dollars according to our requirements, and they must use old banknotes. We send the oldest of our group to receive the ransom money, which is then counted and distributed by accountants. ”

Speaking of this, Cabeline added: "In the eyes of outsiders, we are a group of rabble, in fact, we already have advanced management, a clear division of labor, and even have formed a perfect industrial chain." ”

Shi Shaoying listened carefully while looking at the people and things on both sides of the street. He had to admit that it was not as simple as a group of pirates to make Eyler, who was originally a seaside fishing village, become like this in just a few years.

When Cabeline stopped the car and greeted a pedestrian on the side of the road, Shi Shaoying clearly saw that after several young men bought some goods in the street store, the owner of the store did not collect the money, but recorded their names and the goods purchased on credit in a small notebook, and then smiled and waved goodbye to these young men.

Based on Shi Shaoying's attainments in behavioral psychology, he could conclude at a glance that those young men with glowing eyes and excitement even in their gestures were rookie pirates who were about to embark on a "journey" and were full of hope for the future, but they were still very shy in their pockets so far.

The biggest reason why the shopkeepers were willing to sell their goods on credit to them was that when the young children went to sea with the mother ship, once they found their prey and succeeded in making a deal, they would receive the money afterwards, and they would naturally pay off all the debts immediately, and then repay the shopkeeper for his understanding with a generous tip.

When Kai Berin finished talking with her acquaintances on the street and started the car again, Shi Shaoying asked a question that Sikong Bowen had been very concerned about, but had not received an answer to until now: "After you got the ransom, how did you distribute it?" ”

"The shipowners are the first pirates, who have already made enough money to emigrate to countries like Kenya and become the bosses behind our industry, and they rarely come forward now, and they hardly interfere with our operations, but once the ransom is in hand, they will take thirty percent of it; The crew in charge of the operation, as well as the accountant and translator you just saw, can get a total of 30% of the total, and 40% of this 30% goes to the captain and deputy captain; Twenty percent will pay protection money to government officials; In the end, 20 percent will be used to buy all kinds of weapons, more advanced and faster speedboats, and all kinds of communication equipment, so as to ensure that we have a higher success rate after discovering targets in the Gulf of Aden. ”

Shi Shaoying took out a small notebook from his pocket and really wrote down all the data on it, and then he quickly discovered a new question: "You once told me that Eeller has thousands of armed members to protect itself into a system, why do you still need to pay 20% of your income to government officials for protection?" ”
