Chapter 205: Destroyer

In three days, Sean sent out hundreds of invitations.

Everyone known in New Jersey's high society, including politicians, including Governor Benny.

New York's cheap brothers, sisters, Robert, Marvin, George W. Bush, James, the second and third generations of gentlemen.

The underground forces in New Jersey are naturally coming to cheer, and Sean, the five major families in New York, also sent invitations, except for that, only Old Man Huang received the invitation.

It's not that no one has asked whether those who are underworld are not suitable for not appearing on the same occasion as the rich and politicians, but this point was vetoed by Sean.

No one dares to mess around with the underground forces in New Jersey, and the five major families in New York themselves are very close to politicians and businessmen, and those brainless little gangs, Sean will not invite at all.

Three days passed in a flash.

At night, Newark is close to Jersey City, an island in the middle of the river, and luxury cars pour in one after another.

During this period, there were also many luxury cars with license plates, all of which belonged to the Peace Hotel.

Sean bought 40 luxury cars of various colors and invested a lot of money, which were specially used to host those public figures.

Their own car is known by too many people, which is inconvenient, Sean has considered the issue of privacy very well, and no one knows about the car after the car.

Of course, there are also helicopter transfers, and Sean has prepared 20 helipads on the rooftops of the hotel on all sides!

This time, Sean didn't come to the door to greet him, because most of them had already come to see the underground boxing match.

The few who haven't been here are all with friends, and someone introduced them.

After the surprise, there is only one feeling, how safe it is!

The privacy is so good, it's very suitable for public figures like them to play.

Of course, Sean invited them not only to let them play, but also to introduce them to the Peace Hotel.

Beautifully dressed waitresses will take them on a tour of the fully enclosed building on all sides, especially the rooms that are rented out below.

Here, you can talk about anything, do anything, absolutely safe.

There are two banks downstairs, Sean Bank and Ocean First Bank, which can be used for capital turnover.

At the same time, it is also a hotel, in addition to the scenery is not beautiful, the service is better than the five-star hotel, what do you want.

If it is not illegal, it is provided by the Peace Hotel.

If it is illegal, it shall be provided by a separate merchant.

After the visit, you will go straight to the Starlight Nightclub, which is the highlight of the day.

Starlight Nightclub, 24 hours a day, when to come, when to play, no day or night!

Dim lights, passionate music, a huge dance floor in the middle,

The dance floor was designed by Sean in the shape of a five-star star, with a separate stage in the middle and on each of the five sharp corners.

There are all card tables between the corners, and this design makes the whole floor have no corners, and no matter where you sit, you can be infected wholeheartedly.

Beautiful women from all over the world dance their striptease here.

Coquettish, seductive.

Sailor, Navy, OL, Bunny Girl, Hula......

Beautiful women in various uniforms will shuttle through the period and provide all customers with everything they want!

Everything, service!

This is the paradise of desire, the Garden of Indulging, the Garden of Joy, and the Garden of Descent!

Here, there is no need to hide yourself at all, there is no need, there will be no journalists here, there will be no leakage of information.

Of course, if you want to be a little more private, there is also a ring of compartments around the perimeter.

All of them are made of single-sided translucent glass, so you can't see the inside from the outside, but you can see the outside clearly.

However, after all, it is glass, and there are no curtains or anything like that, so there is still a feeling of being exposed to the public eye.

Therefore, standing in the compartment and playing, there will be a different kind of excitement......

Today, there are no outsiders here, and there is not much difference in everyone's status and status, and they are all open.

It can be regarded as making Sean more knowledgeable.

After all, I am still young......

Good health, don't have to play so many tricks.

Playing from the first floor to the sixth floor, every floor will amaze these guys.

When I went up, I was in good spirits, and when I went downstairs, I walked by the wall......

The mouth also did not forget to praise Sean for being creative and able to play.

Youth of the new era!

Individuals have their own hobbies, and they can play wherever they like.

But in the end, it was 'Script Cannon' and 'Indian Adventure' that were welcomed.

These two games have received the most rave reviews.

After entertaining and seeing that everyone was having fun, Sean was completely relieved.

The cost of this Peace Hotel is enough to build a skyscraper.

In order to make sure everything runs smoothly, Sean stays directly in the hotel, where there is a room reserved for himself.

The first day was dedicated to entertaining these big people, and the second day began to spread the news and officially opened to the public.

Sean deliberately found James Dolan and asked him to bring the athletes of the New York Knicks to play, and for the first time, Sean entertained for free!

At this time, the salary of the NBA is not high, of course, this is not high compared with later generations, this year, the Knicks selected the top pick, Gorilla Ewing, has a contract of more than $500,000 in his rookie season.

The reason why James brought this gang of blacks over was that Sean also wanted to borrow a good fortune.

In the previous life, the Atalanta Gold Club became famous, and the Gorilla Ewing contributed a lot of credit, and it was this guy who took the lead in promoting and attracted a lot of NBA stars to become famous.

Moreover, these old blacks will go bankrupt sooner or later, and it is better to spend their money here than to spend it elsewhere, at least, Starlight Night will not let them get sick.

Sean specially met these old blacks on the spot, he felt that he was in good shape on weekdays, but in front of the gorillas, he was indeed a little smaller.

The most ridiculous thing is that when choosing a fruit bowl, the gorilla chooses indeed two petite and delicate ......

This can't help but make Sean's gaze become weird.

I've heard, I've heard that O'Neill, the big shark in the future, also likes petite ones.

Sean had to wonder what unspeakable things had happened to these giants while they were developing.

Tut, tsk, in an instant, Sean felt a little sympathetic to them.

As the reputation of the Starlight Nightclub as 'super fun' spread, business skyrocketed after everyone knew that it was extremely safe.

Backed by the metropolis of New York, there is nothing else here, but there are many rich people!

Under the condition of ensuring safety, cleanliness and concealment, the number of guests picking up at the Peace Hotel has shown explosive growth.

Compared with the famous Gold Club in later generations, the Peace Hotel is safer and has more tricks to play, you can watch an underground boxing match first, place a bet, and after watching the boxing match, you can go upstairs to the Starlight Nightclub to do some of your favorite things.

After playing all kinds of tricks, you can rest in the restaurant when you are tired, there are meals of various flavors, and you can continue to play when you are full of food and drink.

As long as you have money, you can live here forever and enjoy it like paradise.

It is a vehicle specially used for concealed pick-up, which does not stop every day and is always in the midst of a busy pick-up and drop-off task.

The Black Hawks that Sean left at the base on Newark's side were all requisitioned, and this one was safer and faster......

For this reason, Sean had to urgently order 3 helicopters, of course, this time it was a serious civilian helicopter.

It's cheap and fast enough to get the goods.

Half a month later, the single-day turnover of the entire Peace Hotel reached a terrifying 1.6 million!

According to the calculation of the hotel management team hired by Sean, it is currently in the outbreak period, and there will be a decline in the future, but the transaction function of the hotel itself will show an increasing trend.

The management team predicts that in the future, relying on the characteristics of New York and the safe transactions here, the number of customers received by the Peace Hotel will be about 700 per day.

You must know that the entrance ticket to the Peace Hotel alone costs 500 US dollars, and the average person spends no less than 1,000 US dollars here every day, and the annual turnover of the Peace Hotel will reach a terrifying 240 million!

240 million, even if it's just a turnover, that's terrifying enough.

Of course, the cost of the hotel is also very high.

The salary of a few hundred beauties alone is hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, and with high taxes, the team is cost-effective, and the net profit of the Peace Hotel should be 15%.

Even so, the net profit for a year is about 36 million!

It is worthy of the name of the gold-swallowing cave.

In the future, this Peace Hotel will become a huge trap cow, providing a steady stream of power for Sean's estate.

Moreover, the above turnover is not counted in the underground black boxing gambling segment.

After all, it's an illegal project.

Black boxing betting, excluding the profit sharing for the contestants and the gangs behind it, can still leave a net profit of about 50 million a year.

This piece will replace fake wine and become another major source of black income for Sean.

This will greatly alleviate Sean's lack of funds on hand, and of course, it will be a hassle to clean up the money.

There is a limit to the amount of money that the gym can afford each year, and Sean must get an industry that can absorb more money as soon as possible.

It's really not that I want to be a play, think of what industry to do what industry, this is also forced to helpless!

Didn't you build a gym just to make money!

The devil knows that it is getting hotter and hotter......

With so much money to clean, what can I do!

I'm also helpless!

In order to think of a good channel for Xian money, Sean really racked his brains.

On the side of the movie, Sean gave up directly, the amount is too small, it's boring, the amount is large, and the theater commission is too high, which is not cost-effective.

The idea of getting some virtual business here was also given up by him, X security is a core industry, and it must be foolproof.

Preferably international trade, which would be more difficult for the IRS to investigate.

It's just that before Sean can think of a good way on his side, on the other side, Cartagena is out of the moth again.

……

"At the beginning, we really beat a few people who were poisoned in private, and we also made a lot of money, seven or eight million, but later, these guys learned to be smart." Jeff said with some distress.

"How?" Sean asked casually as he lay on a beach chair with sunglasses on.

"These guys are starting to ship out of Cartagena, the coastline here in Colombia is too long, and there are not many goods, dozens of catties or hundreds of catties at a time, just find a beach, put a small boat down to take the goods, and then transport the goods to the big ship after they reach the sea, we can't run out of Cartagena to enforce the law!" Jeff scolded, "A bunch of damn guys, too cunning." ”

"If you're not cunning, you're not a drug offender." Sean snorted, "What about our trading center, has there been more business lately?" ”

"It's a little more, after all, it's safe and secure, but it's still too small in terms of the proportion of transactions, mainly the leaves, the amount of leaves is large, and it's inconvenient to trade secretly."

"How do you think you can get these guys to honestly trade from us?"

"Unless we can hit their sea transportation channels, it's hard."

"Cracking down on maritime transportation channels......" Sean frowned and groaned for a while, "it's not impossible." ”

Sean picked up the coconut juice next to him and took a sip, then said slowly: "The route from the Caribbean Sea to the United States is fixed, get a few gunboats to rob them directly at sea!" ”

"Ah, robbery!?" Jeff looked at Sean with a surprised expression, "This matter can't be hidden, and the illegal thing will affect us again." ”

"What does pirates have to do with us?" Sean looked at Jeff with a puzzled expression, "Well, I can't say it's okay. ”

(In this part of security expansion, don't mention who is plagiarized, etc., in the last book "Hong Kong Shadow Heroes", I engaged in a security company, cultivated pirates, purchased warships, and aircraft carriers)

"yes, it's not hundreds of years ago, where are there pirates in the Caribbean Sea now." Jeff nodded in agreement.

"If there are pirates, there must be escorts, and we can take on some escort missions." Sean said to himself.

Jeff:???

"Where are there any pirates!" Jeff said with a smile in his eyes.

"Why not, I said there are pirates, and he has pirates!" Sean scoffed.

"This is the Caribbean, it's the backyard of the United States, don't you know how chaotic it is, how poor it is?" Sean glanced at Jeff obliquely.

America is shooting every day, let alone America's back garden.

Everybody knows the chaos in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, much of Africa.

But in fact, the current Iraq and other places are okay, not the most chaotic, and there is one place that is even more chaotic, but the media does not report it, or it rarely reports.

In the 80s, more than half of the top 10 most chaotic regions were in the Caribbean.

First: Honduras.

Second: Jamaica.

Third: Venezuela.

Fourth: Colombia.

Fifth: Guatemala (this name is dangerous...... οΌ‰

Sixth: Belize

Seventh: Republic of Trinidad and Tobago

Tenth: Haiti

I apologize for not taking all of the top 10 spots......

Even 40 years later, these places are still in disarray, but the media doesn't report on them.

After all, how can law and order be bad by the side of the world's police......

Are you questioning that American dads are bad for their children?

Top 10 countries with the highest murder rate

First: Honduras, with a homicide rate of 103.9 murders per 100,000 and 84% of victims killed by guns, is a popular holiday destination.

Second: Venezuela, with a homicide rate of 57.6 murders per 100,000 and 90% of victims killed by guns, one of the major oil exporters.

Third: Belize, homicide rate, 44.7 homicides per 100,000, 69% of victims die by gun, and homicides are particularly frequent in urban Belize.

Fourth: El Salvador, homicide rate, 43.9 murders per 100,000, 77% of victims died by shooting, and more than 20,000 of El Salvador's 6 million inhabitants belong to gangs.

(PS: It's all core members, not that kind of gangster.) οΌ‰

Fifth: Guatemala, homicide rate, 39.9 murders per 100,000, 86% of victims are killed by gun.

Sixth: Jamaica: Homicide rate: 39.3 murders per 100,000, 70% of victims are killed by guns, murder and violent crime are particularly frequent in large cities such as the capital Kingston.

Seventh: Colombia: homicide rate: 38.8 murders per 100,000 and 80% of victims are killed by gunfire.

Ninth: Bahamas, homicide rate, 32.1 murders per 100,000, 75% of victims die by guns, armed robberies, rape* and murder are common here, see.

The eighth and tenth are Eswatini and South Africa in Africa.

The United States is ashamed that it did not let the Caribbean finish finish in the top 10.

However, if you move into the top 20, Guyana, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, countries in the Caribbean can still make the list.

So......

"It's not that they don't want to come out and be pirates, it's better than starving to death, they don't have ships to be pirates." Sean explained: "Well, there is no shortage of weapons, guns do!" ”

"In addition, there is a lack of key factors such as information and technology."

Jeff:???

"What do you mean by the information and technology that is lacking but pirates?" Jeff asked, the corners of his mouth twitching.

"Like, how to lock on to a target ship."

"For example, how to destroy or shield the ship's positioning system after capturing it."

"For example, how to ask for a ransom afterwards."

"But we can all provide these technologies to each other." Sean stretched out his hand and gestured, "Especially the ransom trading channel." ”

"It's impossible, if we offer a ransom channel, then everyone knows that we are behind it."

"Who said we gave pirates a channel?" Sean rolled his eyes, "We give the hijacked ship owners that they can hire us to ransom them back, make sure they don't pay, and then the ship or cargo is destroyed!" ”

"They begged us, and we have to thank us!" Sean laughed.

"In the entire Caribbean, there are more than a dozen bases of our military, what pirates can survive?" Jeff still didn't believe it.

"You're still young!" Sean shook his head.

Somalia is also surrounded by US military bases, but this has not delayed the development of Somali piracy.

In later generations, this pirate business also became a huge industrial chain.

There are specialized angel investors, specialized lawyers, banks, and ports to provide professional services for pirates.

Make money, don't chill!

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Sean waved his hand, "That's for later, in the pirate business, I'm definitely going to take a bite, but until then, we'll get rid of these damn drug dealers." ”

"We should also have our own sea forces, and we should have a destroyer or something." As he spoke, Sean rubbed his hands with excitement on his face.

Boys, where is there anyone who doesn't like blood!

Scold Fang Xuan!

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't sit still.

"The business of the 'street committee' on your side needs to be expanded, there are so many coastal cities in Colombia, and the law and order are very chaotic, as an upright and noble person, how can you stand idly by and be indifferent!"

"Isn't it!"

"Expand your business and grow the 'street councils' that serve the people wholeheartedly, that's what you're focusing on right now."

"For those sneaky drug dealers."

"Just keep an eye on them, and leave the rest to the pirates!"

"Alright, that's it, go back." With that, Sean didn't delay any longer and hurriedly stood up.

Jeff looked at Sean with a confused expression, and he still didn't understand how the drug offender was equated with a destroyer.

What is this?

"That's right!" Sean suddenly turned to look at Jeff, "Get me a villa here next to the sea next to the base, it's too inconvenient to live in the base every time I come, Cartagena is also my territory, I don't even have a villa estate, I don't have a share!" ”

"Oh, okay, okay." Jeff nodded hurriedly.

Sean went back, hastily booked his plane ticket and called Norris.

Norris is still capable, and he is a talent that is urgently needed in the East Factory.

……

Sean hurried to Miami by plane, where he was looking for Colonel Joel Ronald to buy some military scraps......

This time it's a real scrap!

In Miami, Norris had contacted the local professional team to rent a villa before flying over, and when Norris arrived with someone, the professional had already arranged the party scene.

After checking it, Norris was satisfied, and immediately ordered several beautiful women flown in from Hollywood to get ready.

Jall Ronald was a big surprise when he got here!

As a colonel, Joel Ronald is also well-informed, but in terms of playing, even if he is based in Florida, even if there are many beautiful women in Miami, there are some things that he really hasn't played!

It's not interesting to just drink, Sean proposes to play cards, take off your clothes if you lose, and if you don't have to take it off, you can take it off......

Just a moment,

Don't rush!

The Long Night......

Joel Ronald had a great time.

Until noon the next day, Joel Ronald was still a little weak when he got up.

Only then did Sean pull him to tell him what he meant.

β€œwhatοΌŸβ€ Joel Ronald looked at Sean with a look of surprise, "You want to buy a warship!?" ”

"No kidding, this thing is very expensive, even if it is scrapped, the annual maintenance cost is scary."

"Now that we have a foothold in the Caribbean, we have to have some means." Sean said with a smile.

"Huh." He didn't believe Sean's nonsense, but, "Forget it, I don't care what you think, but what level do you want to buy?" ”

"Keeling-class destroyer, I know this one has already entered the scrap sequence."

The Keeling-class destroyer is a modification of the American Alan Sumner-class destroyer in the 40s of the 20th century, and a total of 105 units of this class were built from 1945 to 1949.

After the end of World War II, a large number of ships were reclassified as DDE, DDK, DDR and EDD, among which the "Kiat" was changed to DDG, becoming the first guided missile destroyer in the United States.

In the 60s, a lot of the "Keeling" class was refitted, and it was not until the 80s that they were all decommissioned.

Since the beginning of the 70s, a large part of it has been renovated and sold to other countries such as South Korea, Turkey, Wanwan, etc...... regional Navy.

These sold warships were used until more than 20 years before they were gradually phased out, in fact, after 20 years, the vast majority of countries did not have such advanced warships.

Technically it's really awesome.

The other part was simply sunk directly as a target ship, and I have to say that Lao Mei is rich!

Of course, this sinking ...... There is also a saying.

Among them, from 1971 to 1983, Wanwan purchased 14 ships of this class before and after, and some of these warships were equipped with Israeli 'Gabriel' anti-ship missiles and some were equipped with American-made AGM-84 anti-ship missiles.

The warships of the great beautiful country are quite advanced, and the price is also very beautiful.

Wanwan called it 'Fourteen Yang', all of which were named after the place names of rabbits with the word 'Yang', such as 'Shen'*, which was when Wanwan was the richest, and he raised his eyebrows at the rabbit for a while.

Kiat missile destroyer:

Displacement: 2425 tons (full load 2464 tons)

Hull length: 119.02 meters

Hull width: 12.60 m

Draft: 4.42 m

Speed: 35 knots

Crew: 336 people

Main guns of shipborne weapons: 2 MK32 twin 127mm naval guns

Secondary guns: 2 MK50 twin 76mm cannons

Missiles: 1 two-armed Beagle anti-aircraft missile launcher, 40 bombs in reserve

Torpedo: 2 triple 324 mm torpedo tubes

In 1969, the Kiat was decommissioned, and on June 11, 1970, it was sunk as a target ship.

This Keeling-class destroyer has a small displacement, a relatively fast speed, and the most important thing is that it has a mature modification scheme, and there is also a helipad at the stern, which was originally used to park anti-submarine helicopters, and if it is refitted, it can also be used to park its own Black Hawk.

Sean bought it back, and it can be entrusted to Boston to be refurbished and refitted, and it is possible to install Beagle anti-aircraft missiles, and AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles can also be installed.

If the converted Keeling-class destroyer is compared to the Colombian Navy......

Roughly equivalent to around 2050 in Colombia......

Maybe the 2050 Colombian Navy will not have such advanced naval ships.

It is not an exaggeration at all, 40 years later, in 2020, the most advanced surface capital warship of the Colombian Navy is the 'Admiral Padilla' small frigate.

Admiral Padilla class

Full load displacement: 2464 tons at full load

Hull length: 95 meters

Hull width: 11 meters

Draft: 3.52 m

Speed: 27 knots

Crew: 92 people

Main guns of shipborne weapons: 2 MK32 twin 127mm naval guns

Secondary guns: 1 "Otto Merara" 76 mm naval gun, 1 40 mm gun

Missiles: 1 French-made Exocet anti-ship missile, 8 bombs in reserve

Torpedo: 2 triple 324 mm torpedo tubes

This main battleship is a whole size smaller than the Keeling-class modified after World War II, and its firepower is completely incomparable.

French Flying Fish:

Weight: 670 kg

Warhead: 165 kg

Firing range: 65 km

American-made AGM-84 Harpoon:

Weight: 1110 kg

Warhead: 221 kg

Firing range: 93-315 km, depending on the launch platform

If you put it in the current 85 years......

Be conservative and low-key, and the Keeling-class can single-handedly take on most of the Brother's Navy.

"Keeling." Joel Ronald groaned a little and said, "The Keeling-class destroyers are indeed performing very well. ”

"yes, instead of blowing it up as a target ship, you might as well sell it to me, right?" Sean spread his hands.

"The point is, there is no precedent for private purchases of warships!"

"There has never been a private purchase, blown up, blown to pieces!" Sean pointed outside.

"Target ship? Exploded! Joel Ronald stared at the boss.

It's not guns or anything, it's a big warship at sea!

Blind, I can't see!

It's sure to be discovered!

Joel Ronald thinks Sean is crazy.

"That is, it is completely scrapped, and it is sold at the price of scrap steel!" Sean pondered for a moment, "Well, it's sold to a waste recycling plant, and I'll set one up tomorrow, tomorrow." ”

"You're just kidding, who believes it!" Joel Ronald said with some tears and laughter.

"It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, I believe it anyway!" Sean smiled and said, "Who believes it?" I believe it, you believe it, the military believes it, that's enough! ”

"Who's going to look for it?" Sean smiled, "To put it mildly, who doesn't know that the military is helping to transport drugs, how to check!?" ”

"You ......" Joel Ronald hesitated.

"Find more people, let's carry it together!" Sean continued to bewitch, "Besides, there is no precedent for the military to be managed by Congress, and MacArthur did even more excessively in Japan back then, so he still participated in the presidential race!" ”

"I'm not really faking, well, the scrap steel recycling company must be real!" Sean thought for a while and said, "I'm sure I'm going to do this company, and the business will be very big!" ”

"No, you're still here? What's the use of this thing? Joel Ronald looked at Sean's serious look and was a little confused.

"Sell, although scrap steel can no longer be smelted into high-quality steel, but ordinary quality is still no problem, sell to the big country in the east, I know they need it, and it is in great demand." As he spoke, Sean frowned slightly, and his hand touched his chin to calculate.

Rabbit's demand for steel in the next 20 years is beyond imagination, and this is a sure-fire deal.

Moreover, it happens to have its own waste-to-energy plant, and it can use an electric furnace to make steel.

If memory serves, electric furnace steelmaking is the use of scrap steel as the main raw material to produce high-quality carbon structural steel, tool steel and alloy steel.

This kind of smelting is illegal to produce with low production cost, high labor productivity, and can also digest scrap steel and recycle, which is conducive to environmental protection.

Yes, you can also play the banner of environmental protection and get certain preferential policies from the state government!

Perfect!

I'm a genius!

At this time, Sean completely forgot what he had promised Monroe Div before.

Who is Monroe Blow?

Do I know each other?

What does it mean to invest indiscriminately?

Is the mind of a genius imaginable by mortals!?

Joke!

"Hey, what do you want?" When Joel Ronald saw Sean lose his mind, he thought that this guy didn't want to buy a warship again.

That's millions of dollars in business!

The thought that those little green cuties were probably about to leave him at his own persuasion suddenly made his heart ache.

Angina!

There is no kind that cannot be cured by millions.

No, you're talking, I'm so scared if you don't speak......

I don't object anymore, can't I!!
