Chapter 1816 Type 1 People

About ten minutes later, Mohammed called back, "Jason, this is good news. Arik promised to help contact the pirates to see if the transaction time can be extended, or there is an opportunity for negotiation, but He hopes you can go to Nigeria and he wants to talk to you in person~"

"Going to Nigeria?" Yang Cheng was a little frightened. The last attack he suffered in Nigeria was still vivid in his mind. He thought he would never go there again in this life, but the news came so quickly.

Look at how beautiful this little word is!

"OK, but are you sure there will be no problems with the safety of the hostages on the ship before I arrive in Nigeria?" It's not that I can't trust Mohammed, but I can't trust the richest man in Nigeria. After all, I've never met him, so there's no trust.

"Don't worry, Arik never makes promises easily, but he will be responsible for whatever he says~"

"Okay, I'll set off now~"

“Contact me anytime if you have any questions~”

He hung up the phone, looked at each other with Conrad, then spread his hands and said, "You heard me, I'll go there, I hope there will be a good result~"

Conrad was very interesting, "I'm with you, so I can take care of you~"

Yang Cheng waved his hand, "No, I will bring enough people. You should stay here and keep in touch with the company at all times. Roman's communication is not smooth in Antarctica. We must ensure that there is a person who can make decisions behind. "

This was a sound argument, and Conrad had no problem with it.

Abu on the other end of the phone also said to rush back as soon as possible, but considering the local climate, this could take a few days!

There was nothing to hesitate about. He went to the private room and told Luo Yue, mainly to apologize for not being able to spend Christmas together.

Luo Yue would naturally understand if it was for work, but she was worried that going to Nigeria would be too dangerous and she didn't feel at ease.

Yang Cheng couldn't take her with him. Wouldn't it be more dangerous? He managed to calm her down and send her home before taking a car to the airport.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Hansen made a phone call to summon the entire bodyguard team who were going home for the holidays. This time they had to bring in enough manpower to ensure that something like the last time never happened again.

After a flight of more than ten hours, I arrived in Lagos in the evening local time in Nigeria. Arik Dangote personally sent a motorcade to the airport to greet him.

After receiving the request, he went directly to his mansion. Arik held a reception dinner for Yang Cheng, which was said to be attended by local rich and famous people in Nigeria.

This also indirectly proves that outside of business, Arik is very good at life.

The country where Arik lives has no peace due to various insidious attacks by the terrorist organization Boko Haram. Even if he is the richest man, he is not necessarily safe. Therefore, his life may be like what people often see in movies, in a huge Live a luxurious life in the fort.

Arik Dangote's mansion is located on Victoria Island, an offshore island in Lagos where wealthy people gather. The island is surrounded by a natural moat formed by a lagoon.

When the convoy passed the bridge and arrived at Haohao Zai on the island, Yang Cheng found that there was a swarm of traffic outside the mansion. They should be guests attending tonight's dinner. However, the mansion was heavily guarded, with thick black doors, bulletproof windows, and surveillance cameras everywhere. , numerous guards, and a secret entryway.

The motorcade belonged to Arik and was able to enter the interior of the manor through a secret passage without being crowded with guests at the main entrance.

The sunshine hours in Nigeria are very long. If it were New York, it would already be dark by this time, but Nigeria is still as bright as noon.

The motorcade passed the inner moat and stopped at the side entrance of a three-story mansion. A butler was waiting on the steps.

After opening the door for Yang Cheng in person, he first apologized, "The master is in front to receive guests. I can't tell you where you are for a while. Let me take you to rest first. He will be there soon."

When he bowed his head, Yang Cheng followed the etiquette of letting guests do as they please, and smiled slightly, "I'll listen to your arrangements~"

The butler led him into a small living room and took a seat. The coffee table was filled with fruits, snacks, and of course, steaming coffee.

Yang Cheng didn't touch it. After the housekeeper left, he stood by the window and looked out. He could see a small courtyard and a swimming pool covered with blue tiles. The swimming pool was sparkling and there were many female guests surrounding the shore. Of course, None of them put on sexy bikinis, but in formal evening wear. This was a 'serious' occasion and not suitable for being too sexy.

It's December now, and Nigeria is still very hot. Fortunately, Yang Cheng has been under the care of the air conditioner. However, Yang Cheng feels that the air conditioner in this mansion is blowing out a cold wind very strongly, but it is understandable. Otherwise, how can he keep the air conditioner at over 30 degrees? Withstand the high temperature outside.

Yang Cheng knew that the manor should be powered by an independent diesel generator. After all, Nigeria's power grid is notoriously unreliable.

Without letting him wait any longer, about 5 minutes after he entered the living room, Dangote came in from the door. He had a round face, a trimmed gray beard, and was wearing khaki pants and a blue casual shirt. The shirt, of course, is indispensable for the dark complexion.

From the information, I learned that he is 55 years old this year, and he looks about the same. His eyes are full of wisdom, but he is different from the black people we usually see.

"Good evening, Mr. Yang~" Arik Dangote was the first to greet him. His voice was gentle, unhurried and in line with the characteristics of a big man.

Of course, Yang Cheng was not bad either. He stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other person. His calm tone and indifferent smile did not indicate that he was in trouble at this time.

"I'm sorry for not greeting you in person. An official just came and I have to greet you."

"It's okay Mr. Dangote, Mohammed and I are friends. With this relationship, we don't need to be polite~"

"Yes, I heard what Mohammed said. In fact, I have to call him uncle. He and my father are of the same generation."

"Really? That's great. I hope I didn't cause any trouble for you this time."

"Don't say that. In fact, if I didn't have something to talk to you and Beihai Oil, I wouldn't have let you come all the way."

"Oh? I don't know what it is?" Yang Cheng was curious.

However, Arik did not say anything clearly, and instead asked, "Would you like to eat something first? Today's dinner is mainly about wine tasting, so there may not be much to eat~"

Yang Cheng was not polite, "I happen to be hungry, I'll eat something first, otherwise I won't be able to drink~"

His straightforward performance won Arik's favor. Obviously he didn't like to beat around the bush, and being straightforward was his style.

As soon as he finished speaking, Arik snapped his fingers, and soon the servants came up with plates of dishes. Plantain rice, smoked chicken in red sauce, diced sweet potatoes, white fish, and sausages were all very real dishes.

Yang Cheng used a knife and fork together and ate a few bites quickly, as if he was afraid that Yang Cheng would feel embarrassed. Arik also ate a little with him, then put down his knife and fork and said, "You asked Mohammed to ask me for help. After asking about the situation, it turns out that those who hijacked your company's tanker are a group of very professional pirates. They have great power in the Gulf of Guinea, and even if I say it, they may not listen."

This routine seemed a bit familiar. Yang Cheng lowered his head and cut the sausage, but he didn't say anything. He knew that Arik must have something more to say.

Sure enough, seeing Yang Cheng's lack of reaction, Arik said to himself, "But the impact of this incident is too bad, I can't just sit idly by, so I gave them an ultimatum. If the safety of the hostages cannot be guaranteed, they will not There will be a place for survival in the Gulf of Guinea. ”

This sentence was domineering and leaked, which gave him a bit of power as the richest man.

"But, what I mean is, don't kill all these people, otherwise you can let your tanker go temporarily because of me this time, but what about next time?

Once they take revenge on your company's tanker, you should know how much trouble it will be~"

Yang Cheng put down his knife and fork and finally said, "I can give them some compensation privately, but it will definitely not be 20 million US dollars."

Arik smiled, "You are very smart~"

Yang Cheng shrugged, "In our Chinese terms, this is called giving a sweet date a slap in the face, but if there is a chance, I wouldn't mind sending them to the bottom of the sea to feed the sharks."

The murderous words did not frighten Arik. On the contrary, he felt that it was normal. This was the behavior that a top rich man should behave. In fact, he himself was also such a person. He could temporarily compromise to achieve his goals, but it did not mean reconciliation. , Revenge never happens overnight!
