In Durban, South Africa, Li Fu and Yu Ming were watching the news in the hotel, and the news reported that Ye Ye, the president of Xingyun Company, and four others were detained by the local militia when they were negotiating on the mining site in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a country with a chaotic mix of armed forces. This manganese ore mine originally belonged to a certain tribe, but a nearby warlord attacked a certain tribe and zoned this manganese ore to his own area. The warlord asked Ye Ye to go to negotiate and reprice. Ye Ye's Nebula Company has invested a lot of money in this manganese ore mine, so it can only go hard. According to the contact of the South African embassy, the warlord offered a price of seven million US dollars, and when the money arrived, the mine was still owned by Nebula. The money didn't arrive, and the people didn't let it go.

It was a kidnapping under the guise of a commercial dispute. Li Fu had a newspaper at hand, and it was only when he saw this newspaper that the two decided not to go to the town for the time being, and read the latest reports on the evening news first. Yu Ming lay on the bed and pondered, and Li Fu comforted: "You can bargain, and the South African government and the DRC government are working hard." ”

Yu Ming looked at Li Fu: "Li Fu, how is the financial situation of Nebula Company?" ”

"Debt." Li Fudao: "Because of the purchase right to purchase this manganese ore, Nebula Company borrowed five million US dollars from the bank. Most of the equipment was invested in the early stage, but the scale of Nebula Company was still relatively small, and they only gave the tribe 500,000 US dollars to buy the mining rights for 30 years. And 500,000 is to be paid in five years. The bank believes that the investment in the DRC is risky and does not allow Nebulas to take out mortgages against the DRC's minerals, so Nebula's current capital flow is relatively embarrassing. ”

Yu Ming asked: "It means that Nebula Company can't afford this money?" ”

"yes." Li Fu looked at the news, and the news reported that the vice president of the company is actively negotiating with the warlords, and is currently preparing to use two other minerals as collateral to the bank for loans, but the majority of the board of directors does not agree to do so. They believe that it is the efforts of the governments of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Africa. It could still be perfectly resolved.

The news ends, then the news of the strike in South Africa, and the zuihou is the weather forecast. Yu Ming didn't speak after reading the weather forecast, Li Fu waited patiently and didn't interfere with Yu Ming's thoughts. After a long time, Yu Mingyi gritted his teeth: "Damn, I'll pay." ”

Li Fu was surprised and asked, "Seven million dollars?" "Where did Yu Ming go to find so much money?

Yu Mingdao: "I estimate that three million US dollars should be able to be taken." ”

"But you don't have three million?" Li Fu said: "I ...... I contacted Xu Wen. ”

"No, I'll take care of my business." Yu Ming walked to the bathroom while making a call: "Mr. Du, I want to borrow money from you......"

A few minutes later. Yu Ming came out and said: "I have contacted Deng Xiaomu, Deng Xiaomu notified the vice president, and the vice president asked me to remit the money to his account first." ”

Li Fu asked, "Did you send it?" ”

"How is that possible?" Carefully sailing the 10,000-year-old boat, Yu Ming said: "With such a large amount of money, I ask to go to the DRC in person." He said he would arrange. ”

Li Fu nodded and asked, "What did Mr. Du say?" ”

He asked about the situation. And then agreed. Yu Ming was a little moved: "Mr. Du is a good person. ”

Li Fu was a little surprised: "I think Mr. Du is a saint. "Three million dollars. The IOUs don't give money directly, which requires a lot of courage.

Yu Ming said: "Li Fu, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a bit dangerous, don't go." That one...... There's something I want to ask you for. ”

"No, I have to go along." "We are friends, and I am an American citizen. The warlords did not dare to kidnap me. ”

"What logic?" Yu Ming asked.

Li Fu explained: "Xu Wen's father is very familiar with several senators, and if I am kidnapped, it is likely that the US military will take some measures, and the US military has peacekeeping troops in the DRC." It's safer for me to go together. ”

“xiexie。” Yu Ming patted Li Fu on the shoulder.

"You helped me." Li Fu asked, "What did you just say to ask me?" ”

"Now that I've got the Navy SEALs backing up, I don't think there's any need to ask for it." Yu Mingdao: "By the way, are the Navy SEALs so good in the movie?" ”

Li Fu said: "You don't know as well as me, the warlords in the Democratic Republic of the Congo basically have no religious background, and they are warlords just for profit." There is no need for a commando, the United States is pressuring, threatening a military attack, and I think it can achieve its goal. But if in the countries of the Middle East, it can backfire. So there will be no real armed attack. ”

……

Nebula's news isn't headlines and it's not eye-catching. On the first day, there were a lot of reports, but on the second day they could only be found on the third page of the newspaper, presumably because there was no progress.

On the fourth day, Yu Ming and Li Fu flew to the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the vice president, a black South African in his 40s, had already completed the relevant documents. Without delay, everyone drove to the location of the mine. The DRC government's control is very small, and many militias can be seen along the way, and Yu Ming and others have a press card issued by the United Nations, and Yujian's interrogation on the road does not embarrass them, which is also due to the money sent by the guide. It's not much, only a few dozen dollars, but the militia is already happy.

The vice president introduced: "I have been here twice, but the other party has a tough attitude and insists that Nebula compensate for the losses of the previous plunder. By the way, you said that you were sent by Mr. Ye's president's son, and Mr. Ye's son ......"

Yu Ming said: "Mr. Ye's son was adopted by a wealthy man, and after learning about it, he immediately raised a sum of money. ”

Vice President Hu asked: "No, Nebula is not a big company. This kind of news is not big news, how could Mr. Ye's son know about it in China? ”

"Well...... The Chinese media is very good. Yu Ming made up casually: "Shijie can't do anything bad somewhere, they all know it." ”

"Oh, I see." The vice president nodded: "We're almost there, remember, don't look them in the eye, otherwise it will be considered rude." ”

The car stopped at the entrance of the village, there were not many people in the village, and two militiamen in shabby clothes, armed with AKs, stepped forward to ask questions in the local language, and the guide answered them one by one. The militia let go, whistled, and a child ran to report the news. The car drove to the center of the village, Yu Ming got out of the car and looked left and right, a very lazy group of militiamen, two of them were smoking and chatting with guns on the side, and there was not even a person standing guard officially. Except for the entrance of the headquarters.

The headquarters was a two-story house, with two men in military uniforms standing. The guards stopped a few people, searched them and let them go. Inside, there is a rudimentary headquarters, and on the wall hangs a map of the march, which is a real local map, and it is by no means a four-field.

A stout black man in a military uniform with a medal on his chest and a red beret presumably a warlord, flanked by a junior officer in military uniform and four guardsmen.

The vice president went up to shake hands: "General Canker......"

The warlord's face was stinky, and he didn't shake hands at all and said, "I've already made it very clear. You have plundered our wealth, and we are just going to take back what is ours. ”

The vice president said: "General, our company is a small company. ”

"The capitalist state plunders our wealth and plunders our labour......

"Don't brag." Yu Ming interjected: "Talk about business directly, three million US dollars." One price, more than one. ”

Lee's copy stops at Ming's impulse. He stepped forward and said, "We are U.S. citizens. We only have three million dollars, which is all our money. ”

"Americans?" The warlord asked, "Did you bring the money?" ”

Yu Ming asked: "Satellite phone transfer, but I want to see them first." ”

The warlord bowed his head, two soldiers left, and after about ten minutes, four men were escorted in. Ye Ye still had wounds and blood on his forehead. Apparently suffering somewhat. The warlord said, "Money." ”

"Account number."

A low-ranking officer handed over a mobile phone, Yu Ming took out the mobile phone, entered the account number, and then transferred the money. Satellite phones are just handy. The officer looked at his phone and smiled, showing it to the warlord. The warlord nodded and waved, "You can go." ”

Yu Ming said: "Let's go, shall we?" ”

Ye Ye suddenly straightened his chest: "We won't leave." ”

"What do you mean?" Yu Ming was stunned.

Li Fu looked left and right, and the vice president and guide left them, stood beside the warlord, and said in a low voice: "It's a little wrong. ”

“haha。” A voice came from the second floor: "International independent investigator, nothing but that." ”

A young white man appeared, Yu Ming looked at the second floor, and down was the foreigner who was playing Chinese chess. The vice president moved a chair for Simon, and Simon was satisfied with the account inquiry, and sat down and said, "You two can sit casually." "The money has gone away without a trace.

Li Fu asked, "Who are you?" ”

Yu Ming said in a low voice: "Spider, you've been tricked." ”

Simon smiled and said, "It is undeniable that Yu Ming is very careful, but why do you think that the FBI laboratory can stop us?" The only surprise is that you asked to come in person, no way, we have been preparing urgently for two days, and we can barely deal with it, right? ”

Yu Ming was not excited, he was not angry, he was very good at restraining his emotions, pulled Li Fu to sit down and asked, "Weishenme?" As far as I know, spiders are not going to be head-on with the International Independent Investigator Organization. ”

"No, we only promise not to use violence." Simon said in a low voice: "You made me lose a big person, and you had a lot of fun." Why do you think I won't fight back? ”

"Impossible." Yu Ming shook his head: "Impossible, in just a few days, how can you know my background?" ”

Simon nodded: "You're right, it's true that we don't have this ability, especially in China." But you don't know one thing, not only do I pay attention to you, but also someone pays attention to you. Your computer has already been installed with a Trojan horse, and all the communication between you and your adoptive father is in the hands of the other party. ”

Yu Ming was shocked: "Won't it?" ”

"Fruit Alliance, you know. A member of the Fruit Alliance named Durian died in Europe, and two of their members were assassinated by a mysterious person when they kidnapped Miss Du Qingqing, and the Fruit Alliance can be said to have suffered a heavy blow. They also understand their own inadequacy. I don't know how they got in touch with us, but we were glad that they had sent us information and agreed to send instructors to train their new and old members in all aspects. Simon smiled: "That's right, Yu Ming, you are not only playing me, but also our entire organization." Spiders have never been defeated, and this is not purely a matter between you and me, but a contest between spiders and international independent investigators. You and I are just on the front line. ”

Yu Ming was surprised and asked, "The Fruit Alliance Weishenme wants to spy on me?" ”

"I know why, but unfortunately I can't tell you. I can only tell you that the adoptive fathers who contacted you later were all computer experts from the Fruit Alliance. Simon asked, "What other questions do you have?" ”

Yu Ming asked, "Is everything fake about Ye Ye?" ”

"Yes, we're very willing to spend money and hire a lot of people. Don't underestimate them, they are all professional actors. Simon Daxiao: "Actually, it's very simple to fool you, you have lost your subjective judgment. We did a lot of work to deal with your friends. But to be honest, I overestimated his abilities. ”

Li Fu asked: "Weishenme newspapers and news have Nebula Company?" ”

"That's my favorite trick...... Yu Ming, do you understand? Simon looked at Yu Ming with interest.

Yu Ming sighed: "Because we are watching satellite TV, you have inserted it with a recording haode program." As for the newspapers, I'm afraid you printed many copies of them yourself and put them in our activity area. ”

"Bingo, got it right." Simon applauded: "I'm very happy, don't be so discouraged, the score is 1:1 at the moment." Of course, I lost $100,000 and you lost $3 million. But you have to take into account the labor cost, the venue fee. You see, these AKs are real, and we invested a lot of blood. ”

Yu Ming sighed deeply and asked, "Can I see your true face?" ”

"Yu Ming, we don't intend to hurt you." Simon asked, "What's the problem?" If there is no problem, I will not leave you to eat, and you can go. ”

Yu Ming didn't speak, stood up and took out a plastic bag from his pocket, which contained a hair in it. Simon was a little sad and said regretfully: "I'm sorry, I admit that it hurt you a lot, but the game is like this, there are winners and losers." ”

Yu Ming asked, "Is this girl really called Judy?" ”

Simon nodded: "Yes, it's really called Judy." Yu Ming, the Chinese saying: Failure is the mother of success, or let's play a game of chess? Giving you a chance to turn the tables? haha。 ”

Li Fu was a little angry: "I'm sorry, are you too much." ”

"Is it too much?" Simon smiled: "When he tricked me, you didn't think he was excessive?" Three million dollars, alas...... Yu Ming, if I help you get a citizenship of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, will you abscond in debt? Simon stepped into a chair, pulled out a cigar and said, "I call it a victor cigar." ”

"Huh!" Yu Ming smiled sadly and put his hair on the table: "I thought I really found my parents." I found out that when I really found my parents, I wouldn't care about the three million dollars. I should xiexie you guys, let me know what is going on in my heart. (To be continued......)
