Chapter 817 Colombia
…
"Liu, my friend, it's so nice to see you again!"
Facing Ed's hug, although Liu Dong couldn't get used to the unpleasant smell on his body, for the sake of their friendship, he could only endure it for the time being!
"Ed, I'm equally happy to see you, but now let your people hurry up and load the goods. My time is limited!" Liu Dong said immediately after pushing the other person away.
"That's no problem! But where are the things? Should they be piled on the deck?" Ed looked around and said.
"Well, let's put it on the deck for now!" Liu Dong thought for a moment and then said.
Anyway, the front and rear decks of the Gonggong are spacious enough, and there is no problem in putting down the weapons and ammunition he bought. In addition, both heavy-duty torpedoes and anti-ship missiles are big guys with a length of more than one meter and a weight of more than one ton.
It cannot be put into the cabin without the help of lifting equipment.
Besides, on Liu Dong's yacht, the stairs leading up and down the cabin are all revolving. When designing, they considered beauty and comfort rather than ease of transportation, so it would take too much time to put guns and bullets in there.
Finally, Liu Dong had no intention of putting this batch of ammunition on the yacht. The mustard space is where they should be, stacked on the deck. It will be easy to clean up when the time comes.
As for the crew on the Gonggong?
At most, they are just suspicious. As the boss, Liu Dong has no obligation to explain to them!
"Liu, are you serious? Stacked on the deck?" Ed said in surprise.
This is a large number of weapons and ammunition, enough to support a small war, and there are also missiles, torpedoes and other heavy weapons. Stacking them on the deck, and it is also the deck of a private yacht, isn't this asking for trouble?
"Don't worry, you just need to follow my instructions!" Liu Dong didn't explain much.
"Okay! Who said you are the Almighty God (the customer is God)!" After shrugging, Ed called on his men to start moving things to Liu Dong's boat!
Because Liu Dong requested that they be placed on the deck, with the help of a crane, it took two hours to move all the guns, ammunition, missiles and torpedoes purchased by Liu Dong to the front deck of the yacht, which was originally used as a helicopter landing pad.
The front deck that doubles as a tennis court is now occupied by numerous wooden boxes containing weapons and ammunition. Even the sight of the cockpit is completely blocked!
Taking the check handed over by Liu Dong with a happy expression, Ed couldn't help but said: "Liu, if you need weapons next time, just call me. Just like this time, I will still deliver the goods to your door.
And it’s 10% off!”
"I know that if I need it, I will definitely call you again!"
Having said that, Liu Dong estimates that the weapons he bought today are enough for him to use for a lifetime! After all, he spends more time in civilized countries, and there are not many opportunities to actually go to chaotic Africa and South America!
"Okay, bye!"
"Yes!" After nodding, Liu Dong waved to the other party.
Looking at the freighter going away, Liu Dong said calmly: "You two should go and have a rest, I will be on duty tonight!"
Liu Dong's words made Eric and Nord look at each other and nodded at the same time. Without saying a word, they returned to their cabins.
After what happened tonight, the impression of this young and wealthy boss in their hearts has become much more mysterious and powerful!
Arms dealers. In everyone's mind, this is a bold and cruel character who walks on the edge of darkness. They create wars and extract wealth! They do whatever it takes to achieve their goals!
The night is getting deeper and deeper. Except for the scattered lights on Saetiya Island not far away, the surroundings are dark. Today is a starless night. The thick clouds block all the light from the sky! Not to mention that I can’t see my fingers.
, but you can never see beyond five meters.
Liu Dong sat on the chair in the cockpit, staring at the dark night, and the thoughts floating in his mind gradually condensed on the cause he was most concerned about now!
"I wonder how busy Zhang Fan and David Coleman are now? Have the acquisitions of Chong Hing Bank and Standard Chartered Bank started?"
Thinking of this, Liu Dong instinctively wanted to call and ask, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. After all, there was still a short time before he handed down the task, and there was no result in asking now.
After letting go of his thoughts, he raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. He noticed that it was already after four o'clock in the morning. Liu Dong stood up, came to the bow of the ship, uncovered the oilcloth on it, and loaded all the weapons and ammunition underneath into his
Mustard space.
After finishing his work, Liu Dong returned to the cockpit again, started the yacht, and drove slowly towards Havana at a speed of 15 knots.
Two hours later, it was already bright. Nord quickly got up to replace Liu Dong. After walking into the cockpit, he subconsciously glanced at the bow of the ship, but he was stunned by the empty front deck!
Last night, there were still hundreds of large wooden boxes piled up together. How come it was as if they had never existed after just one night? Could it be that everything I experienced last night was just a dream?
"boss……!"
Before he could ask anything, Liu Dong had already said: "Since you are here, you can take care of this place first! Head to Puerto Juarez in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, and notify me when you arrive! That's it.
!”
After finishing speaking, Liu Dong had already taken a few steps out of the cabin and disappeared outside the door!
Only then did Nord react. He looked at the place where Liu Dong disappeared, then turned to look at the empty front deck. After repeating this several times, a wry smile appeared on his face!
He knew that the boss would not explain this to him.
"What happened last night?"
This is a question that Nord and all the six crew members of the Gonggong want to know. Unfortunately, they are destined not to get the answer they want.
…
Puerto Juarez is a seaport on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico facing the Caribbean Sea. It is not well-known because the economy is not very developed and the port's throughput is not large, because areas of Central America facing the Caribbean Sea generally lack good ports.
.
The reason why Liu Dong wants to come here is because he plans to go all the way south to Colombia along the coastline of Central America!
Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Ecuador, Honduras, Panama, all the way to Darien Bend in Colombia, it took Liu Dong about seven days, mainly because he salvaged the sunken ship, and stopped and wasted too much time, otherwise
The speed of the Gonggong number can reach the destination in only half the time.
However, the three or four days of delay were worth it. Liu Dong harvested eight more sunken ships from this sea route along Central America.
Including the harvest of these eight sunken ships, after Liu Dong arrived at Lianwan and turned around, the gold in his hand that could be liquidated immediately reached 18.9 tons, and there was also a lot of silver, but it was too cheap. Plus Liu Dong
The quantity in hand is too large, so he is not planning to sell it in the future. He will keep it in his hand as a reserve material for Qiangwei Jewelry!
In addition to gold and silver, Liu Dong also has more than 200,000 gold coins in his hands, and countless silver coins. As for gold and silver artworks, various gemstones, and various types of artworks, there are hundreds of thousands!
Although it is not yet possible to determine the specific value of all the gains, Liu Dong can also be sure that the sum of all the shipwrecks on his trip to the Caribbean is no less than his income on the 'Poseidon'!
Unfortunately, compared to the US$6 billion that can be used, at least half of the gold, silver, and jewelry artworks Liu Dong obtained from the sunken ship must be used as exhibits and cannot be liquidated, and the remaining diamonds and jewelry cannot be liquidated.
It takes at least three or four years to convert it into funds that can be used at any time.
Therefore, after calculation, only 18.9 tons of gold can be used immediately, which would cost about US$500 million in cash.
However, this time Liu Dong did not plan to sell gold directly like the last time he was in Canada. Instead, he planned to wait until he had a bank and exchange money directly from his bank.
In this way, he can also share in the profits after the gold price rises. And the more gold the bank has in reserve, the stronger the bank's strength and ability to resist risks, and the more attractive it will be in absorbing deposits and granting loans!
"Boss, we are about to enter Colombia's maritime exclusive economic zone!" Nord turned around and said.
"I know, keep driving forward, change direction when approaching a hundred kilometers from the Colombian coast, continue sailing east, and notify me when you arrive at the port of Santa Marta, Colombia!" Liu Dong said again.
"Got it, boss!"
Although he couldn't figure out what his boss was traveling around in the Caribbean for, as an employee, he received a large salary from the other party every month, so he could only follow the boss's instructions.
Work honestly.
Seeing Nord concentrating on driving the ship, Liu Dong also walked out of the cockpit and came to the back deck to hold on to the iron railing. Sheli Yuanguang went all out to search for the sunken ship under his feet!
As the sky grew dark, as he approached the Colombian coastal port of Cartagena, Liu Dong finally had something to gain!
A ketch sunk in the sea at a depth of 200 meters. There were not many gold and silver coins and handicrafts, but there were a lot of emeralds! The value was about 80 million US dollars, so Liu Dong chose to stop the ship and salvage it.
"Huh!"
As soon as Liu Dong came out of the water, he spotted an old freighter approaching quickly about 2,000 meters away.
"Boss, your towel!"
"Well!" After taking it and wiping his face, Liu Dong pointed to the freighter in the distance and said, "Melissa, when did that ship appear?"
"Don't know? I didn't pay much attention!"
