Chapter 114 Guaranteed Profit without Loss
Chapter 114 Guaranteed Profit without Loss
I changed my equipment and had a meal.
Now that the meal was over, Gao Yi was thinking about a question, that is, whether it would be better to take Alawi to the hotel first, or to throw him directly into the prison of the Secret Operations Bureau.
I've been waiting for a day, and I don't know how Luca's situation is going.
If Luca can really get the money, then everything will be easy. We can just use the power of the Secret Operations Bureau to do something.
If he doesn't get the money, Greens will have no say, and it will be unrealistic to borrow the power of the Secret Operations Bureau. At most, Greens can only help himself.
But Greens' power was too limited, and it was difficult for him to even get some equipment.
So the question is, it might take too long to wait for Greens to deal with his boss before taking action, but if he didn't wait and just took the six people who did have guns and went straight to Suela, he would indeed be unsure.
Finally, Gao Yi said to Alawi, "Now that we have eaten and done what we should do, what do you think I should do with you?"
Alavi looked dumbfounded after hearing this. He wanted to say, "Please let me go." However, his reason told him that the consequences of saying so would be disastrous, because there would be no such easy thing in the world.
After careful consideration, Alavi said in a pleading tone: "Please, don't kill me!"
A standard, reasonable and non-offensive answer.
Gao Yi sighed because he wondered why everyone he met was so smart.
Why isn't there some brainless idiot who can satisfy his sense of intellectual superiority?
"Then give me a reason not to kill you."
Alavi hesitated for a long time, then he whispered, "I can give you money."
"Oh, how much?"
After thinking it over again and again and making up his mind, Alawi said firmly: "I'll give you $200,000!"
Gao Yi was looking forward to it, but after hearing what Alawi said, he was surprised and asked, "So little?"
Allawi was stunned. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this not enough? Two hundred thousand dollars can buy the lives of a hundred people in Baghdad."
Two thousand dollars for a life is really not cheap in Iraq now.
Gao Yi exhaled and said, "Too little, not very interesting, you can find another reason."
Gao Yi didn't want to say the name Saib, he wanted Alawi to say it himself.
Sure enough, after finding out that $200,000 was useless, Alawi hesitated for a moment, and finally said again: "My brother... can give you more money."
Gao Yi said calmly: "Who is your brother? How much can he give?"
Alawi said in surprise: "Don't you know, my brother's name is... Muliwi!"
Alavi looked at Gao Yi expectantly. He hoped to see an expression of surprise or nervousness on Gao Yi's face, but he was disappointed.
Gao Yi still looked indifferent and said, "Oh, so your brother is very rich?"
Xiang Zhuang dances with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong, but Alawi certainly does not understand such a profound principle. He really thinks that Gao Yi has never heard of his brother's name.
"My brother is very rich, he can... give you one million!"
Alawi was very nervous, but he did have some hope. He felt that maybe he could bring Gao Yi to Suela, to his brother, and as long as he got to Suela, with the persuasion of his brother and hundreds of people, he would be safe.
In order to survive, of course, you can do anything.
Gao Yi looked at Alawi suspiciously and said, "One million dollars, I am interested in this number, but I have never heard of the name Muliwi. There are not many people in Baghdad who can pay a million dollars for ransom at any time. Are you trying to deceive me?"
Allawi immediately said, "No, no! My brother is not in Baghdad, he is in Suayla."
Gao Yi once again looked at Alawi suspiciously and said, "Prove it to me."
Alavi had his cell phone with him all the time, and Gao Yi had no intention of confiscating it, so after hearing Gao Yi's words, Alavi immediately took out his cell phone and quickly called his brother.
The call was connected and a voice in Arabic rang out, but Alawi immediately said, "Brother, in English, brother save me."
"what happened to you?"
There was a lot of surprise in his tone, but Gao Yi didn't quite believe it, because he felt that Alawi's men might have already informed Saib of the news.
Gao Yi has told so many lies and acted so much that he now thinks everyone he looks at is acting.
Alawi said anxiously, "I have been... detained. My guards are dead, and two drivers are also dead. Can you give the person who detained me one million? Only by giving him this much money can he let me go."
"what happened?"
Saib did not rush to say yes or no, but asked what happened first.
Alawi looked at Gao Yi, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only say helplessly: "One of my bastards stole this gentleman's luggage and now he has found me, brother, they are all dead, right in front of me, he will really kill me, he is not bluffing."
As Alavi spoke, he couldn't help himself and his tone became tearful.
Saib must have worried that this was a trap set against him, so when he heard Alawi say that he was picked on because he had cheated someone of their belongings, he actually felt relieved. "You killed several people just because of a piece of luggage? Who on earth did you offend?"
Alavi burst into tears. He sobbed and said, "I don't know. The car they drove was American. They were... really powerful. They killed people like squeezing a chicken. They even came to me empty-handed. Brother, save me. I don't know. I don't know how it turned out like this."
"Let me talk to him!"
Saib spoke, and Alawi looked at Gao Yi and said in a tearful voice: "My brother wants to talk to you in person. Can you please answer the phone?"
The phone was on speakerphone, so Saib could hear everything clearly, but Alawi instinctively asked Gao Yi for his opinion first instead of handing the phone over directly.
Gao Yi waved, took the phone, and said calmly, "Hello."
"Hello, my brother is in your hands. I have nothing to say, but...can you tell me who you are?"
Gao Yi said lazily: "If you want your brother to die, just say so. What qualifications do you have to ask about my background?"
Gao Yi's tough and unconventional response made it difficult for Saib to respond, so after a moment of silence, Saib said in a deep voice: "No, please don't hurt my brother. No matter what you want, we can talk about it."
What Gao Yi wanted was to meet Saib, so he said without hesitation: "Okay, come to me and bring one million dollars in cash, otherwise there is no need to talk."
"I won't go to Baghdad. Even if you kill my brother, I won't go to Baghdad. Sir, how about this, you come to Suela, and I'll prepare a million dollars in cash for you, okay?"
Gao Yi did not expect Saib to immediately agree to come to Baghdad, and Saib did not expect Gao Yi to go to Suela.
This is a stalemate. Both parties have to carefully test each other, compromise with each other, and finally negotiate a transaction that is acceptable to both parties.
However, Gao Yi was not going for the one million dollar ransom.
So Gao Yi planned to take the initiative to break the deadlock, and his way of breaking the deadlock was extremely simple.
"I'm from the Defense Covert Operations Agency."
Gao Yi casually reported his background, and then he said calmly: "Do you know this unit?"
Saib was silent for a moment, then he whispered, "Yes, the Pentagon's own intelligence unit."
"As long as you know."
Gao Yi exhaled, then smiled and said, "That saves a lot of trouble. No matter who you are, no matter where you are, I can at least guarantee to kill you. Your brother made a big mistake, I hope you won't make the same mistake as him. Now, just have someone send the money and take your brother away."
If it was just a normal kidnapping, Gao Yi's request would be very reasonable.
But since Gao Yi dared to say this, it meant that he was sure that Saibu would not redeem people in the normal way.
The reason is very simple. Given the identity Gao Yi reported, he was too powerful to be a kidnapper. He could just take the money and not release the hostage, and then force Saib to pay more money, because he was not worried about retaliation from Saib, let alone legal sanctions from Iraq.
As expected, Saibu had no choice but to refuse Gao Yi's reasonable request.
"I'm sorry, sir. I can't have someone send the money directly. You can bring my brother to Suela to get the money. I will give you the money right away after I confirm that my brother is safe."
Gao Yi sneered and said, "Let me go?"
Alawi said anxiously: "Brother, brother!"
Saib whispered, "I'm sorry, sending the money to Baghdad cannot guarantee my brother's safety, so asking you to come to Suela is the only feasible way. With your status, I can't do anything to you."
Okay, it’s almost cooked.
Gao Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, get the money ready, I can come over, but it's not one million, it's one and a half million."
"One million and fifty thousand. That's all the cash I have."
"Okay, do you plan to make your brother lose an arm or a leg?"
"Is one million and one hundred thousand okay? It's just over a hundred kilometers, one hundred thousand dollars is fine."
"Is this a matter of distance? I need to take risks."
"One million and two hundred thousand dollars. Really, this is all I can give."
Gao Yi smiled and said, "Okay, 1.2 million. I'll send the person over once you're ready."
"You can send the person here right now. I will prepare the money when you arrive."
Okay, the plan without any plan went well.
Gao Yi said without hesitation: "Okay, then tonight, I'll go right away."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi threw the phone to Alawi.
With the identity of the Secret Operations Bureau, the worst result of going to Suela is that he won't get the money and won't be able to meet Saib, but there shouldn't be any problem with safety. Gao Yi likes this kind of situation where if he wins, he takes all, and if he loses, he doesn't have to pay the most.
Gao Yi looked at the people behind him, then he winked and said meaningfully: "Let's go to Suela."
