"What!" Zhao Feiran couldn't help but change his expression when he heard this, and stood up suddenly.

Not only did Zhao Feiran's expression change drastically, but Shi Yiqun, who was on the side, obviously heard what the middle-aged man said, and his face changed greatly when he heard the words, and he exclaimed: "Is this news conclusive?"

The middle-aged man was Zhao Feiran's confidant, and he also knew Shi Yiqun, so he immediately replied when he heard this: "We have received a phone call from Badison, the captain of the Somali 'Banglan Guard' and the 'Sky Star' oil tanker, confirming that the 'Sky Star' was hijacked by a group of pirate fighters of the 'Puntland Guard' in the Gulf of Aden at five o'clock this evening. ”

"How is this possible? The 'Sky Star' is a giant oil tanker, and we are also equipped with armed personnel on it! How can it be hijacked?" Zhao Feiran obviously still couldn't accept this reality, and said in disbelief when he heard this.

"There is no point in discussing this now. Now the key is to know how much the Somali pirates are asking for, and has it alarmed the government?" Shi Yiqun is the gang leader after all, and he is obviously much calmer than Zhao Feiran, the king of ships, in the face of this emergency, and interrupted when he heard this.

Pirate hijacking matters, as ship owners, are generally willing to deal privately, not wanting to alarm the government. Because once the government is alarmed, it will inevitably rise to a national problem, and there will be a lot of things involved, and they will often no longer be able to call the decisions. And once the government is alarmed, the hijacking of the oil tanker will inevitably let the insurance company know, so that the next insurance costs will definitely be adjusted to sky-high prices, which all ship owners do not want to see. So in general, as long as the pirates are not lions open their mouths, they are willing to trade privately.

Zhao Feiran is naturally not a simple character. Hearing this, he immediately figured out the joints, and looked at the middle-aged man calmly.

"They are asking for a ransom of 200 million US dollars, and it is impossible for the government to receive the news for the time being, but it will definitely not be able to hide it after a long time. The middle-aged man replied.

In the Gulf of Aden, the Chinese Navy now also has warships escorting there, and the oil tankers passing through there are to keep in touch with the navy, so it takes a long time. This matter must not be hidden.

"What 200 million US dollars!" Rao is Zhao Feiran's family has a big business, but hearing about 200 million US dollars still makes him a little out of shape. And Shi Yiqun's face became extremely ugly when he heard this number.

The Zhao family is a branch of the Salt Gang, and the Salt Gang also has a stake in the Zhao family's industry. The Zhao family was damaged, and the Salt Gang was naturally also damaged.

"Although $200 million is a bit of a lion's mouth, it's not too much to really count seriously. Shi Yiqun's face was gloomy. It took a while before he said slowly.

Zhao Feiran didn't know this, and his face turned a little blue when he heard this. 200 million US dollars, converted to Hong Kong dollars, that is 1500 million or 600 million, Rao is the Zhao family's big business, such a large number, it can't withstand a few tosses. Besides, if this money is taken out, it will be wasted, even if people with more money will be distressed.

"Senior Brother Zhao, what's the matter? Isn't your ship flying the Chinese flag or the Hong Kong regional flag?" Zhang Weidong couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw that both of them had ugly faces. Asked.

When Zhao Feiran heard this, he almost wanted to scold Zhang Weidong for being such a nerd. Do you think China is really that powerful in the world? If you put up a flag, Somali pirates won't dare to rob it?

But fortunately, although Zhao Feiran's mood is extremely bad now, he finally didn't forget that Zhang Weidong was Shi Yiqun's martial arts junior brother, and when he heard this, he just said "um" with a calm face, and didn't answer again.

It's really at this juncture. Not in the mood to answer such a childish question.

However, although Shi Yiqun also felt that Zhang Weidong's question was full of nerdness, he still replied for Zhao Feiran when he saw this: "Weidong, the Somali pirates are a group of vicious gangsters, and it is estimated that except for the American ships, they have a little scruples, and they can be said to be unscrupulous about other countries. Speaking of which. Our ship is also a super tanker, it is the number one in the world, and the cost alone is 600 million US dollars, and if you count the crude oil on the tanker, the total value is almost 700 million US dollars, so it is not too outrageous for me to say that 200 million US dollars is said by pirates. It's only 200 million dollars, and it's fucking distressing. ”

Speaking of which, Rao is Shi Yiqun is the leader of the Salt Gang of a generation, he still couldn't help but burst into foul language, and his face showed a painful expression. 200 million US dollars, and it is nearly 40 million US dollars when it is distributed to the head of the Yan Gang, and it will cost 200 million or 300 million yuan when converted into RMB. Besides, the Zhao family is also a member of the Salt Gang, and the relationship between the two is a cold relationship, which makes Shi Yiqun, the gang leader, not angry or distressed?

Zhang Weidong just saw Shi Yiqun's words and deeds when he heard that the Zhao family's "Tianxing" oil tanker was hijacked, and he felt a little strange, as if he could also participate in deciding the solution to the hijacking of the "Tianxing", and now he heard him say "our ship", and when he talked about 200 million US dollars, the expression of pain on his face, as if he had also lost a lot of money, couldn't help but be curious: "Listen to Senior Brother Shi's meaning, could it be that this 'Tianxing' also has something to do with you?"

"Yes!" Shi Yiqun nodded, and he didn't say any more about the specifics. After all, if you continue to talk about it, it will involve the secrets of the Salt Gang, which is not easy for outsiders, and of course it is troublesome to explain.

Zhang Weidong saw that Shi Yiqun really had something to do with this 'Tianxing', but he was more concerned, and frowned again and asked, "Which country's flag is this oil tanker flying?"

Shi Yiqun naturally didn't know that Zhang Weidong was entangled with the national flag because he was the real uncrowned king of the Somali seas. There was no pirate gang in that sea area that dared to hijack a ship flying the flag of the motherland of the uncrowned king, and this was also what Zhang Weidong had clearly warned them before leaving, so unless they were impatient, they would never dare to move the ship flying the Chinese flag!

But Shi Yiqun didn't know this, so he saw that Zhang Weidong was still entangled in the issue of the national flag, and he really felt a little crazy, but he still replied patiently: "Liberia." ”

"Liberia seems to be a small country in West Africa, why do you have to fly their flag on your ship?" Zhang Weidong asked in confusion when he heard this.

This time, Shi Yiqun was completely a little crazy by Zhang Weidong's question, what about his own eyebrows? You are still entangled in this question, isn't this purely because you are not upset enough? But after all, Zhang Weidong's potion has cured him of his stubborn illness for many years, and this martial arts person pays attention to the grace of water when the spring reciprocates, and besides, the matter has already happened, and he can't be in a hurry, so Shi Yiqun finally explained patiently:" It is particular about the national flag of oil tankers to fly the national flag, and the national flag of the country where the ship is registered when driving at sea, and the national flag of the country where the port is located when entering the port. Because the operation of ships involves a lot of charges, such as taxes and fees, such as docking fees at the port, and of course, diplomatic relations between countries, etc., so under normal circumstances, whether it is a domestic or foreign transportation company, even a company in the United States, it is the same, and generally choose some neutral countries, and the ship charges and taxes are relatively low to register ships. Liberia is one such country. ”

When Shi Yiqun explained this, Zhao Feiran frowned several times and wanted to interrupt impatiently, but Shi Yiqun's eyes stopped.

Although Shi Yiqun also felt that Zhang Weidong was full of nerds at this time and did not understand human feelings, he didn't want Zhao Feiran to speak indiscriminately, so as not to hurt Zhang Weidong's self-esteem. He explained this in such detail that it was also in the middle of this consideration.

"It turns out that there is still such a thing as flying the national flag, and I thought why the national company's ships should hang any flags. Zhang Weidong suddenly came to his senses, and at the same time secretly blamed himself for taking it for granted, and only warned the four Somali pirate kings not to move ships with Chinese flags, of course, as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macao flags, as for the case that Chinese ships flying the flags of other countries are hijacked, Zhang Weidong is too lazy to care. In his opinion, if the flag of his own country does not hang the flag of other countries, he deserves to be hijacked. Now I know that this ship is still so particular about flying the flag, but it does not mean that the ship of which country will fly the flag of which country.

"Then do you think we deliberately didn't hang the Chinese flag?" Zhao Feiran saw Zhang Weidong's look of enlightenment and heartlessness, and finally couldn't help but stare at him.

"Remarkable, interlaced like a mountain, it's normal for Wei Dong not to understand this. Shi Yiqun saw that Zhao Feiran was a little rude to Zhang Weidong, and hurriedly said.

Zhao Feiran saw that Shi Yiqun's words were not good for him to attack again, so he changed the topic to the kidnapping incident again and said, "What should Brother Shi do now?"

"What else can I do? Of course, you can only negotiate a ransom with the pirates, are you still going to solve it through the government?" Shi Yiqun asked rhetorically.

"It seems that it can only be ......," Zhao Feiran couldn't help but smile bitterly at the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

Also, if you can't solve it through the government, even if you can, you don't know if it will be the Year of the Monkey. The time government can afford to drag it out, but they can't afford it!

"I know the leader of the "Puntland Guard" pirate gang, so let's make a phone call first, and the tanker matter should be fine. With his relationship with Shi Yiqun, Zhang Weidong naturally would not let him suffer any losses, and said with a smile.

When Zhao Feiran heard this, his lungs almost exploded, and you said that the person who didn't even know what flag the ship should fly just now turned around and told him with a smile that he knew the leaders of several Somali pirate gangs.

"You ......" Zhao Feiran finally couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed at Zhang Weidong and wanted to blame him for talking nonsense.

However, Zhao Feiran had just opened it, and saw that Zhang Weidong had already turned around with his mobile phone and walked to the side to make a call, but he was a little stunned for a while, and Shi Yiqun was also a little stunned Looking at Zhang Weidong's back, with a hint of surprise on his face.

knows much more about Zhang Weidong than Shi Yiqun than Zhao Feiran. knows that even if Zhang Weidong is a nerd, he will not brag so indiscriminately, but if Zhang Weidong is not bragging, it means that he really knows the leader of the Somali pirate gang.

But how is this possible?

That's the Somali pirates who give all countries a headache, the Somali pirates who dare to hijack even Ukrainian arms ships, and the Somali pirates who force all countries in the world to send warships to escort the sea!
