Chapter 1260 Somali Kelp
Because Zeng Wangcai was short of people around him, Yutie, the temporary liaison between the merchants from the British country, could only continue to work and wait until he returned to Wangye Island.
Although the matter with the British country was settled, the protection cards that Zeng Wangcai had previously issued were equivalent to being finished. Those families felt that Zeng Wangcai's people were gone and no longer needed protection, so the matter on land came to an end, and few people called Yutie again.
But there is one exception, and that is the Perry family.
There are many families in the British country, but there are only a handful of families that choose to do the same as the Perry family and need Zeng Wangcai's maritime transportation protection.
Except for the Perry family, the others lack the transportation capacity, otherwise they might not be willing to give out 5%.
The call was from Perry Jr., saying that one of their ships had been hijacked near Somalia.
"What are you doing? You're in a hurry to go home!" Zeng Wangcai said angrily, "Didn't they choose our fleet for transportation?"
"Brother, this is what happened!" Yu Tie replied, "Little Perry said that their business grew too fast, and there was a transportation business that was not included in the plan. Therefore, our fleet could not keep up, so he used his connections to ask for ships from other transportation companies."
"Where's the nice guy card logo? Isn't it posted?"
“Yes, they did. Not only that, they also marked it on the flag.”
"Then how dare you do it?"
"Brother, it's the Caribbean... Oh, that's wrong, it's Somalia, it's very backward over there, I heard there are only a few people who can read, they definitely don't know the signs, the pirates over there are pretty crazy."
This reminder was a great help to Zeng Wangcai.
Old lady Xianyu retired and is living in Southeast Asia. Her godsons took over the business. One of them is responsible for managing Southeast Asia and handling matters that are inconvenient to handle officially, while the other is responsible for leading the armed fleet and escorting.
After the international shipping company under Bao An faction expanded its business, no one in Southeast Asia dared to mess with it. However, once you leave the Southeast Asian waters, things are different outside, so escort is needed.
The problem started in the Somali waters. Those sea kelps were fearless and robbed our company's ships. We dealt with them many times, but it was useless. Those sea kelps seemed to be brainless. We dealt with them today and forgot about it tomorrow.
This matter was reported to Zeng Wangcai, who was also puzzled at first, thinking, are those kelp leaders so stubborn? They always kill people, why do they come again?
Later Zeng Wangcai realized that it was because the situation there was too chaotic. Every time the kelp was cut, another crop would appear. Before the previous crop had learned its lesson, a new crop appeared.
So, an endless loop.
There is another reason. They may have no other way to make money, or they think that robbing is easier and faster. More and more people choose to be seaweed, and that place is a very important shipping route, so they have to go there.
Brother Hei is famous for his love of jumping around.
"What should we do, brother?" Yu Tie asked.
"What do those kelp groups want?" Zeng Wangcai's face turned dark.
If this matter is not resolved, it will not be good for our reputation. Although we can compensate the Perry family, it is inevitable that it will be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives.
Moreover, Zeng Wangcai’s next step is to make those short-sighted guys in the UK regret it and expand the good guy card business.
Maritime safety has always been a global problem. Even the Americans have been beaten by the slipper army, so no matter whose company or ship it is, there will be times when they are robbed.
Therefore, if Zeng Wangcai wants to expand the Good Guy Card business and collect protection fees worldwide, Haidai really needs to be seriously addressed.
"For money!" Yu Tie replied, "They asked for 30 million dollars. You are just a bunch of bumpkins who don't know anything. Perry's goods are not worth that much. If it weren't for the breach of contract by not delivering the goods, Perry wouldn't have wanted the ship."
"So, this little Perry must have it?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, let's go to Somalia right away. Send someone to help Little Perry and Kelp deal with him. We'll figure out a solution on the way."
The current coordinates of Zeng Wangcai’s fleet are within five days’ sailing distance from Somalia, which is enough time.
......
Hidab.
There are numerous islands in the Gulf of Aden area and the environment is complex.
These reasons may provide the kelp with the conditions for growth, making it difficult to deal with.
Hidab is located on the largest of these islands, and on this island, kelp and kelp tissue are as abundant as cattle hairs.
Heige guys are also human beings, they also have their needs, such as drinking.
A few black guys drove a Toyota pickup truck, just like in the movies, holding AKs in their hands, shouting and stopping in front of a bar.
Guns are very common things to Heige.
The black guy walked into the bar with an AK, looking very arrogant.
"Hey, Ali, come over and have a drink!" a black guy shouted to the group of black guys who had just come in.
The leader of this group of black guys is called Ali.
When Ali saw the person looking at him, he immediately put away his gun respectfully: "Mr. Hassan..."
This guy named Hassan is also a seaweed, or to be more precise, a big seaweed. The force he belongs to is one of the most advanced ones, and he has many seaweeds under his command.
As for Ali, he is a newcomer in the kelp industry. He has few people under him, and it is not easy for him to get ships and weapons.
Ali is a bit like the labor contractor who goes out of town to work in our area. He brings a few villagers with him, spends his savings to prepare tools to make money. After doing one or two jobs, he gets more equipment, and after recruiting a few young people, his ambition expands.
In fact, Alibaba's team was established very recently. Apart from getting to know the big players in the kelp industry, they paid no attention to international affairs at all.
"Have a drink!" Hassan raised his glass and shouted to the bar. "Give them beer, I'll pay."
"Thank you, Mr. Hassan!" Ali hurriedly thanked him.
"sit down!"
"Yes, Mr. Hassan."
Ali led the people to sit down, took a cold beer, and drank it happily: "Mr. Hassan, how can I help you?"
"I heard you guys are making a big deal?" Hassan also took a sip of beer and smiled, revealing his white teeth.
These black guys are definitely purebred black guys. Each one of them is so black that no one can see each other unless they open their eyes or speak. This may be the reason why they love to laugh.
"I have achieved some small results, but I dare not say anything big!" Ali is very humble.
He is not stupid. Strength is the only criterion for grading kelp.
"What's the situation now? How much ransom did you ask for?"
"30 million dollars."
"..." Hassan smiled again, "Do you know how much ransom we can get in a year? I mean all of us combined."
"do not know."
"No more than 20 million."
"Uh......"
Want more?
Ali thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Hassan, I think if thirty million is not enough, at least five million dollars can be asked for. I learned from the people on the ship that this batch of goods belongs to an old family in the United States. They must be delivered immediately, otherwise they will breach the contract. The price is definitely worth five million dollars."
"Sure, you're smart!" Hassan nodded with satisfaction. "I think you should come to my place..."
This is recruiting.
Hassan would never have thought that his recruitment would be a huge loss...
