Chapter 325 Who is the Hero
Pirates can't just find two people, pick up two guns, and start a business.
No matter which industry you are in, it is not easy to become bigger and stronger.
"Come on, I'll take you to see our captain."
Mike was somewhat interested in this guy who was most likely a Native Indian.
It is really difficult to find such a smart guy in the Caribbean.
Coincidentally, Mike also knew that the company seemed to be interested in supporting a group of people here, and maybe Benny was qualified to be one of the candidates.
After arriving on the warship, Benny was very curious and was about to look around, but he heard Ayang remind him: "Hey, man, if you don't want to become blind in the future, you'd better watch the road."
Benny shuddered subconsciously and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look around anymore.
Soon, Benny was brought before Big Eyes.
Inside the cabin.
Big Eyes sat on the chair, and Benny stood in front of him, looking more or less nervous, not knowing where to put his hands.
After Mike's introduction, Benny repeated what he had just said.
Da Yanguang lit a cigarette, letting the taste of nicotine release on his fingertips, but he had no intention of putting it in his mouth. He just held up the cigarette and said, "You want to cooperate with us? Why?"
"Because you are a native of the Caribbean Indians and have a father who is a patriarch?"
"Excuse me, although there aren't many people like you, there aren't many either. You're not rare for us."
Benny tried to explain: "Although I don't know your details, a private enterprise that can own a warship is definitely a dominant force."
"In the Caribbean, it's easy to become a pirate, all you need is courage. But if you want to gain a foothold and have your own power, you have to be a spokesperson for a country or company."
"I know the rules of this game very well..."
Seeing that Big Eyes had no intention of interrupting, Benny continued, “The Babu you guys beat to death earlier was the spokesperson for a shipping company in the Caribbean. Otherwise, with his stupidity, how could he have achieved that scale?”
"As long as you cooperate with me, I can absolutely guarantee your interests in the Caribbean, and I can do many things that are inconvenient for you to do."
At this point, Da Yanguang interrupted him rudely and said, "I reiterate again, you are not qualified to cooperate with us. Even if we support you, you are at best a non-staff member of our company, just a subordinate. Do you understand?"
"If you don't understand this, you won't live long."
Benny took a deep breath and said, "I understand, I understand..."
He knew that a private company that owned warships could own more.
It is definitely not something that a Caribbean native like him can be compared with.
Long before coming here, Benny had already prepared himself mentally. He came here as a lower-ranking person to gain a future.
Because he didn't want to be like his other compatriots, living in this sea and on various islands all his life from birth to death.
In his entire life, there were only blue skies and white clouds, heavy rain on the beach, and this smell of the sea. Benny had enough of it!
His father, as the clan leader, gathered the strength of the entire clan and sent him to study in Germany, allowing him to see the prosperous world outside.
High-rise buildings, busy traffic, various shopping malls and bars, even the skin of women is countless times more delicate than that of the Caribbean...
If it weren't for studying abroad, Benny might not have felt anything much.
But after seeing the prosperous world, he could no longer tolerate everything in the Caribbean!
He wants to change his own destiny, the destiny of his family and descendants!
Benny wants his child to be in that happy country from the moment he is born!
This is also the reason why he would risk his life to contact Mike and others!
"It's not easy for you to become our colleague. If our boss hadn't recently entered the shipping industry, you probably wouldn't have seen us here."
"To tell you the truth, even if you get our funding, you won't be the only candidate. We will select many candidates like you. After multiple assessments, we will select the final winner and make him a non-staff employee of the company and provide him with large-scale funding."
"If you think it over, I can put you on the assessment list."
Seeing the cigarette in his hand burn out, he threw it into the ashtray and looked at Benny with a scrutinizing look.
This plan of raising Gu was a decision made by the company's top management in order to select the most suitable candidate at the lowest cost.
"Don't think about it, I agree." Benny said without any hesitation.
He is different from those natives who have not received any education. He knows very well that the most lethal things in this world are never the bullets fired from AK-47s, but power and money!
In this place in the Caribbean, there are about a hundred people, dozens of tattered AK-47s, and who knows how many times they were used. They are considered the best in the pirate industry.
If there are a few more RPGs, it will be even more powerful.
Well, if you have a warship, you can just charge ahead with your eyes closed!
Benny never expected to own a warship in his life, but the opportunity to find someone who owns a warship as a backer is right in front of him!
So what if I become a lackey?
Working for such a big shot is always better than being trapped in the Caribbean for the rest of your life, like a frog in a well!
Benny has made his choice!
"very good."
Big Eyes nodded, wrote down Benny's name in the notebook, opened the drawer, took out a bundle of US dollars with various denominations, and threw it in front of Benny.
"Here is $10,000 as your starting capital."
"Remember, from now on, the probation period officially begins, and you only have one year."
"We may give you tasks during this period, and the degree of completion will also affect the results of the assessment."
After he finished speaking, Big Eyes stood up, stretched out his right hand to Benny, and said, "Good luck to you."
Benny shook hands with him immediately, and after hesitating for a while, he finally asked the real question, "Aren't you afraid that I will disappear after taking the money?"
"After all, you don't even know my specific personal information."
Hearing this, there was a burst of laughter in the room.
Mike, Ayang and others were laughing happily.
Even the big eyes that always showed sternness couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying: "Who do you think we are?"
"If someone plans to run away with this $10,000, then this will be his life-saving money."
“As for your personal information, just because we don’t ask doesn’t mean we don’t know it.”
After a pause, Da Yanguang patted Benny on the shoulder and said, "Do your job well, and you will slowly understand the true strength of our boss."
Benny nodded thoughtfully and kept Hutchison's name firmly in his mind.
He didn't know whether he would have the chance to meet the real boss behind the big vision in his lifetime.
However, the most urgent task now is to use the 10,000 US dollars of start-up capital to quickly recruit troops and expand power.
Although I don’t know what the evaluation criteria are, it is nothing more than the speed of development and the ability to generate profits.
Benny is still confident about these things.
After all, when he was studying abroad in Germany, he studied economics and management.
It seems to be quite useful in the pirate business.
After rescuing Chen Baixiang and deciding to support Benny, Da Yanguang stayed in the Caribbean for a few more days and supported several pirate groups with potential according to the standards set by Lin Zehao.
The same $10,000 starting capital and assessment process.
As for those self-righteous and uncooperative guys, the warships are naturally not just for show, they will be destroyed directly.
After a few firings, the pirates in the Caribbean knew that there was a Chinese warship disguised as a merchant ship fishing.
The direct result was that during this period, no pirates dared to rob Chinese merchant ships passing through the Caribbean Sea.
After finishing everything, Da Yanguang first reported to Lin Zehao, and after getting permission, he drove the warship back to the Colombo Port in Sri Lanka. Chen Baixiang was wearing beach pants, with his upper body naked, holding the railing, looking at the vast expanse of white on the sea. He felt fresh when he first saw it, but over time he found it a bit boring.
With his outgoing personality, he quickly became familiar with Dayansguang. After learning that the warship was heading to Sri Lanka, he immediately asked an extremely stupid question.
"Why don't we dock this warship in Victoria Harbor? It will definitely look impressive."
He looked at a mentally retarded person with his big eyes and said nothing.
At this time, a gust of sea breeze blew, and Chen Baixiang also realized the stupidity of this question. He scratched his head awkwardly and started to make jokes.
The camera zooms out and reveals a single warship sailing against the waves on the boundless sea. The flag of the Hutchison merchant ship is also fluttering in the wind among the waves.
……
In Hong Kong Island, as the New Year approaches, festive red elements can be seen everywhere on the streets.
Red lanterns, lion dances, big-headed dolls, and so on.
Kai Tak Airport.
After Chen Baixiang got off the plane and felt the familiar smell of this land, he took a deep breath and looked intoxicated.
I used to live in Hong Kong Island all day, and I didn’t think there was anything good about this city. I just felt that it was congested, expensive, and the housing prices were expensive, and there was more and more car exhaust...
However, when he was captured by the Caribbean pirates, the first thought that came to his mind was that he might never be able to return to Hong Kong Island in this lifetime...
I have to say, humans are really complex animals.
With such emotion, Chen Baixiang walked out of the airport passage and saw Tan Yonglin, who was wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, waving at him and shouting, "A Le, this way!"
"Ah Lin, I thought I would never see you again!"
Chen Baixiang ran a few steps quickly, and hugged Tan Yonglin tightly. They patted each other's backs heavily, and their voices were choked with sobs.
It is said that there is great terror between life and death. Only after experiencing life and death can one know the preciousness of certain things.
Such as friendship, such as love.
"Okay, you're Ah Le, you're just crying and having no future."
As he spoke, Tan Yonglin raised his wrist, glanced at the time, and said, "I have already made an appointment with Lin Sheng. I will take you to meet him."
"Without further ado, let's set off now."
Chen Baixiang had known about this matter for a long time, so he nodded immediately and followed Tan Yonglin to the parking lot.
After a while, a black Cadillac slowly drove out of the parking lot.
inside the car.
Tan Yonglin was sitting in the driver's seat, while Chen Baixiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, picked up a tape and put it into the car player.
Soon, a burst of dynamic music came.
[Sixth Aunt, Third Grandpa, Dazhong Opens a Noodle Shop Like Lotus Paste]
[After work again, we had lunch and gathered around to discuss heroes]
Who is the hero?
[Three East cards in hand, call two, five, six bamboo cards when it comes to three cards]
[Jie Zheng Hu, real Yin Gong, Teng Teng is so horrified that his face turns red]
[Up and down, fighting in a daze, loosening the teeth and blinking the eyebrows to hit the cage]
【…】
Chen Baixiang couldn't help but clap his hands while listening to such dynamic music, and sighed: "The God of Songs is still the God of Songs, and he is still as good as ever."
Tan Yonglin just smiled and said jokingly, "What's the point of a singing god? Wasn't he defeated by us in the beginning?"
Hearing this, Chen Baixiang also smiled, and his thoughts drifted back to ten years ago.
At the Hong Kong Youth Music Festival that year, the "Losers" band, with Chen Boxiang as the lead singer, defeated the Lotus Band led by Xu Guanjie, which had already begun to become popular.
If Chen Baixiang had not gone into business and Tan Yonglin had not gone to study at university in Singapore, the band would not have disbanded, and perhaps everyone's lives would have been different.
Thinking of his youthful days, Chen Baixiang smiled happily. After a while, he asked, "By the way, Ah Lin, what kind of person is Lin Sheng?"
"You didn't see the scene at that time. Dozens of black pirates were beaten into pieces!"
"And do you know what ship I took back to Colombo, Sri Lanka?"
Before Tan Yonglin could ask, Chen Baixiang couldn't wait to excitedly say: "You won't believe it if I tell you, I took a warship back to Colombo, and then bought a plane ticket back to Hong Kong Island!"
“Although those gun barrels are covered with tarpaulins, judging from the size, the firepower is definitely strong enough!”
Hearing this, Tan Yonglin subconsciously stepped on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road, turned on the hazard lights, opened his mouth wide, and asked in disbelief: "What? Warship?"
"I know a little about Lin Sheng's identity from hearsay, but I've never heard that he actually owns a warship!"
Tan Yonglin held his head in his hands. It was obvious that this sudden news had a huge impact on him.
Some employees who are not familiar with the boss Lin Zehao only know that he is very generous, has a lot of money, follows the rules, and is very good to his employees. As for why he can earn so much money at such a young age, there are many different opinions.
Those who are more familiar with the situation would know that their boss has another name, a name that is very famous in the Hong Kong underworld, Wei Long Hao.
I know that he is the leader of one of the four major gangs in Hong Kong Island, Shing Wo, and the youngest one in history.
However, no one has ever heard that Lin Zehao, as the boss, actually owns a warship!
Since when did the Hong Kong community become so high-end that they even have warships?
Is it true that the times are developing so fast now that fighting for territory no longer requires showing off horses, but just using machetes to kill people, and even using warships?
Alan Tam told Chen Boxiang everything about Lin Zehao.
After hearing about Mr. Lin's deeds, even Chen Baixiang, who had seen a lot in the world, couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
For a man who had the courage to go to the Caribbean and negotiate business with pirates, there were very few things that could shock him.
After digesting this information, Chen Baixiang turned down the music, lowered his voice, and said, "The fact that Mr. Lin owns a warship is known only to heaven and earth, you and me, and you must never tell anyone else."
"Otherwise, the two of us will be in big trouble."
"Understand?"
Tan Yonglin was no fool, and he naturally knew how serious the impact would be if this matter were exposed. He immediately nodded to show that he understood.
Afterwards, Chen Baixiang sighed, his tone full of emotion, and said: "Ah Lin, you have found a good boss."
"Think about it. You just simply renewed the contract and got Lin Sheng to send a warship to rescue me. If it were another boss, let alone whether he had the ability to do so, even if he agreed to help, could you afford the price?"
"Besides, if we let you renew your contract for such a long time, you might not be able to make money by then, and Mr. Lin might even run the risk of losing money..."
After a pause, Chen Baixiang continued, "Lin Sheng not only agreed to help, but also gave you a retirement contract without asking for money or rewards, and even used warships..."
"Although I don't know how much silver paper it will cost to mobilize warships, as the saying goes, a cannon shot costs a fortune, so this is definitely not a small amount."
"He helped us so much, but he didn't ask for anything in return. There are only a handful of big men like Mr. Lin in Hong Kong, or even in the world."
As he spoke, Chen Baixiang lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, "Before this, I thought those so-called societies in Hong Kong were all petty thieves. They said they were loyal and abided by the rules, but in fact they did things that violated loyalty and righteousness."
"It turns out that my idea is indeed correct. Before Lin Sheng appeared, what kind of people were the so-called four major societies in Hong Kong Island?"
"It's only now that I understand that it's not that there's no loyalty in the martial arts world, it's that I haven't met the right person."
