Chapter 481 A man who makes people despair and fear
Since Luo Qing started studying, Zixuan has also resumed his job. Mo Ran has also returned to England. After all, he is Zixuan's assistant. Before Zixuan traveled around, he stayed in L City to handle the company there. Now Zixuan
Xuan's affairs have been resolved and he has returned to the Qiu family. Naturally, he will come back.
Qiu's development in Southeast Asia went very smoothly, even exceeding Zixuan's expectations. Kai Rui and George's tacit cooperation allowed them to maximize their abilities. However, Zixuan was vaguely uneasy. After all, the development of new regions must require
Slow and steady will do, but Kairui seems to have been dazzled by the short-term success and continues to expand its territory non-stop, winning many cross-border cooperation projects and attracting many internationally renowned companies to invest in and develop new projects.
However, Zixuan is becoming more and more worried. He is not a short-sighted person. He is interested in the development of Southeast Asia and knows that this is a piece of fat. In time, the development of Southeast Asia will definitely catch up with European countries, but the problem is to disperse the funds.
It’s too open, and they are all projects focused on the future. The revenue is returned too slowly. Once a problem occurs, the capital chain will be broken. Zixuan kept looking at the cooperation projects in Kai Rui’s hands, and always felt that something was wrong.
But I can't tell.
Mo Ran also frowned, tapping on the computer, constantly browsing project information, "If there is a problem with the A2 project, the capital chain invested by Southeast Asia will be broken. Once the project is shut down, our losses will be very heavy.
.If other projects are affected due to capital flow problems, it will be a huge blow to Qiu's reputation."
"The tourism industry in Southeast Asia is quite developed. It is right to start from this point. Once we have our own large resort in Malaysia, we can install our hotels, entertainment facilities, including other shopping malls. But the problem is that it will cost tens of billions and take a long time.
In three years, if something goes wrong with such a huge investment, the losses will be unimaginable."
Xuan frowned, "Compared to the a2 project, I am more worried about the shipping companies in Southeast Asia. Kairui is moving too fast. Before it has a firm foothold, it wants to develop several hands at the same time. Although pirates have recently appeared in the Malacca Strait
The odds have been reduced a lot, but the new route Kai Rui chose is not easy to travel, haste makes waste, and he was too anxious after all."
"As far as I know, pirate attacks in the Malacca Strait accounted for 56% of the world's total in the past few years. In recent years, joint patrol fleets have been launched, but absolute safety cannot be guaranteed. I can actually understand Kai Rui's desperate measures.
Motive, after all, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, and once we can successfully occupy this new route, it will be very beneficial to our Qiu Shipping. But..." Mo Ran frowned, Kai Rui underestimated the power of pirates after all.
In recent years, many piracy incidents have been committed by heavily armed terrorists, or pirates and terrorists have collaborated. In short, it is definitely not a problem that can be solved by hiring professional sailors or bodyguards. Carey underestimated the destructive capabilities of pirates.
"What are you going to do?" Mo Ran asked Zixuan. Although he seemed to have given Kai Rui a lot of power, he wouldn't just sit back and watch something happen to Qiu, right?
"I need to think about it." Zixuan sighed heavily. He originally wanted to discuss the pirate issue with Zihao to see if there was any way to coexist peacefully with them. After all, those people also wanted money. If he could use it,
It might not be impossible if some interests allow them to secretly escort Qiu's shipping.
However, if the cooperation with pirates is leaked, it will have a great impact on the Qiu family. It will not only attract the attention of the International Maritime Administration, but may also attract the attention of the international police. Zixuan has never been unsure of anything.
He had been collecting information about the Malacca pirates for a while, but there was always very little useful information, and it was not enough for him to use to control the situation.
While they were talking, Zihao walked in with a solemn expression and looked at Zixuan, "Something happened to Qiu's Shipping."
"Damn it." Mo Ran cursed in a low voice and knocked the table angrily.
"As expected, I'm still too anxious." Zixuan whispered, with a wry smile on his lips.
He was in a hurry to push out all the things at hand. He thought that Kai Rui was capable enough to take on the responsibility, but he forgot that he and himself were different after all. Even though they looked the same on the surface as calm and self-controlled, deep down they were different after all.
of.
He has seen the lives of people living at the lowest level. He has received the most rigorous training. He has been through life and death with countless people struggling to survive. He knows where his bottom line is and where the maximum level he can endure is.
He can ignore the life and death of others, and he can be so ruthless that it makes people scared.
But Kai Rui is different after all. He grew up in the shadow of his family. The first thing he understood was intrigue and conspiracy. He struggled, but not for survival, but for power. His proud self-esteem will always make him
As a young master, he knows how to compromise, but refuses to give in without a bottom line. Fame, wealth and power have an impact on him, and his desire for them is much greater than Zixuan imagined.
Their difference is ultimately due to their past experiences and environments. One is to survive, the other is to avoid being despised and trampled on, so Zixuan can turn a blind eye to wealth, fame and fortune, but these are what Kai Rui pursues.
"What's going on?" Seeing Zixuan thoughtful, Mo Ran turned to ask Xiang Zihao, "Can't he be a pirate?"
But often, the less you want something to happen, the more likely it is that something will happen.
"My people received news that pirates robbed Qiu's oil tanker in the Strait of Malacca. I just called Kai Rui and he said he couldn't contact them. George is also on the ship." Zixuan answered simply, eyebrows raised.
There was a hint of worry.
"Why is George on the ship?" Zixuan asked in a deep voice. If he remembered correctly that George was still in England yesterday, why would he go to the Strait of Malacca today?
"I don't know." Looking at Zixuan's calm expression, Zihao knew that this guy's heart was definitely not as calm as on the surface. His relationship with George had always been good.
Zixuan was silent for a long time, made some mental calculations, and said to Mo Ran, "I will go there with Zihao, and I will leave the Qiu family's affairs to you. I will contact Ruofeng and ask him to help deliver the news. Once
If something unexpected happens, just tell my dad about it and ask him to come back and take charge of the overall situation."
Of course, this is the worst plan. Zixuan doesn't have much information, but it may not be impossible. After all, he is very confident in his skills at the negotiation table.
"Okay, I understand." Mo Ran nodded, clenched his fists, and suppressed the idea of going with Zixuan, "Don't worry, I will take care of things here."
Sometimes, support from the rear is the most important thing, and it is not necessarily necessary to go to the front line to express affection.
"Also, tell Luo Qing that something happened at the company. I will go over and deal with it. I will definitely be back in a week at most." Without further ado, the faster they go, the safer George will be.
"Don't worry." The two firm words were just like Zixuan's silent promise when he left every time something happened in the company, that he would protect his rear so that he would have no worries.
Two hours later, Zixuan and Zihao set off for Southeast Asia together. Diening was originally going to go with them, but in the end Zihao left her behind to protect Luo Qing. Every time something happened, something would happen as soon as Zixuan left Luo Qing. Zihao
Knowing Zixuan's worries, he kept Die Ning. In addition, even if Die Ning was a killer in the past, he did not want her to fall into any danger in the future.
"You were not polite to me at all. You just counted me out." The two of them were sitting in the helicopter. Zihao raised his eyebrows and looked at Zixuan, but this kind of tacit understanding made him feel good.
"Of course, even if you are not allowed to go, you will go with yourself." Zixuan replied matter-of-factly. What's more, George is their younger brother, and the Qiu family's shipping was in trouble. Although Zihao never interfered with the Qiu family's business,
After all, I was still concerned, wasn't I? As soon as I heard something happened, I became worried.
"Damn boy." Zihao laughed loudly. It felt really good to have such a brother.
Zixuan was actually worried in his heart, but he looked relaxed, "It's a pity that guy Jue Mo isn't here, otherwise he would have been more excited to go with us, and his obsession with pirates wouldn't last for a day or two."
Speaking of that worrying guy, Zihao sighed helplessly, "I don't know how he is doing. I made a phone call a few days ago and heard nothing from him. I don't know if he has found Xiao Ying."
"Don't worry, that guy is stubborn. He will find Xiao Ying in heaven and on earth." Zixuan is very optimistic. Although Jue Mo usually behaves nonsense, at critical moments, this guy is not ambiguous at all.
"By the way, I heard that there are quite a few cargo ships carrying oil these days, but it happened to be the one with George on board that had a problem." Zihao already pointedly lowered his head and whispered, "Do you think it's just a simple matter?
Where are the pirates?”
Zixuan groaned and did not answer. If they were not just pirates, but came for Qiu or him, then the problem would be troublesome.
"You are more familiar with shipping routes than I am. Do you know any pirate leaders or the like?" Zixuan narrowed his eyes and added, "Maybe they are pirates who can control this sea area."
Pirates are also divided into three levels.
The lowest pirates may just be refugees from nearby islands. Their bargaining chip is life. In a battle with gentlemen, the fearless one always wins.
The more advanced ones may be some homeless fishermen or some homeless criminals who gather together and become pirates. They will have some weapons and lack of firepower, but they are still enough to deal with cargo ships that are unable to resist.
There are also organized and disciplined professional pirates who use certain islands as bases or cover. They will not act blindly and exercise strict and precise control over the ships that are being robbed and extorted. They may be special forces who have been betrayed by the government and have their identities destroyed.
, or they may be peripheral personnel of some terrorist organizations. Usually, most of the larger piracy incidents are their work.
What kind of criminals are the most troublesome to the police? They are definitely criminals who have brains, are smart enough to play cat and mouse games with the police, have armed strength, and have their own team discipline. Such pirates are the most troublesome.
.
Zihao tilted his head and thought deeply. He didn't know any pirates, but it wasn't difficult to get to know them. After all, he had been in this field for so long, so it was possible to find someone to help them.
"I'll go find Kai Rui myself, and you can find someone who can control these people." Maybe on land, Zixuan is sure to handle any emergencies, but on the sea he is not sure, but he knows it very well.
, as long as there are interests, there is only a thin line between enemies and friends.
If the other party is a pure pirate, Zixuan is confident that they will hand over Qiu's cargo ship, but if the other party's purpose is not just these, they can only rely on Zihao's network.
"Okay, I understand, be careful." Zihao thought for a moment, "Wait until Ruofeng's people arrive before you go. This is not the time to show off as a hero."
Zixuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm measured."
