Chapter 271 Windfall
When the members of the Devil Pirates boarded the tanker, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. More than a hundred dead bodies were lying on the deck. The head of the leading devil pirate group, Ida Abs, glanced at Ye Qian, and couldn't help showing a look of admiration. "Hello, I'm Ida Abs, the leader of the Devil Pirates." Ida Abs stretched out his hand and said.
"Ye Qian, the leader of the Spike mercenary." Ye Qian directly reported his name.
"You...you are from Spike Mercenary?" Ida Abs asked in surprise.
"That's right, my next code name is Wolf King, and this is my Langya's brother Gray Wolf Molong." Ye Qian said.
Ida Abs was slightly stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "I have heard about the name of the Spike Mercenary for a long time. He is the king of the mercenary world and the overlord of the land. See, it's my blessing, Ida Arbus."
"Captain Ida Abs has won the award. I have also heard the name of the Devil Pirates for a long time. In this vast Pacific Ocean, the Devil Pirates are a unique team, a true sea hero. I have always wanted to meet, It's just that I have no connections, I didn't expect to hit the right track this time, I have to say, this is fate." Ye Qian also said with a smile.
"It's my fault. I didn't expect that batch of goods to be Spikes. What an offense." Ida Abs said apologetically.
A king on land and an overlord on the sea, the two really feel a little sympathetic to each other.
"Hehe, Ida? Captain Abs is out of touch. If it wasn't like this, how could we meet? Maybe this is God's arrangement." Ye Qian said with a smile. Ye Qian didn't know who God was, and wanted to talk about God's arrangement, but guessing that this group of foreigners were different, he had to say God by the way.
"Yes, yes, this must be God's arrangement." Ida Abs said with a smile, "Spike Fang is indeed a Spike Fang, and I admire it. Although the Blue Water Pirates are not top-notch in the Pacific Ocean. There are at least a hundred pirates, and they were buried in the sea without even the strength to fight back. Langya is not only the king on land, but also the overlord of the sea in the future."
Ye Qian frowned slightly, secretly guessing what Ida Arbus meant by saying this, was he implying himself? Are you still warning yourself? But the eyes looking at Ida Abs seem to be very sincere, and there seems to be no such meaning in it. "Chief Ida Abs is serious. I, Langya, don't dare to have such extravagant thoughts. Let's obediently stick to our foundation on land, haha." Ye Qian said.
Ida Abs nodded unintentionally, but in Ye Qian's view, it confirmed that Ida Abs' words just now were a warning to himself. "Since it's God's arrangement, why don't Mr. Ye come back with us to get together? I've admired you Spikes for a long time, won't Mr. Ye show you face?" Ida Abs said.
"I wish for it, and besides, I have already prepared the ransom this time, and we have to pick up that batch of goods. Do you think so? Captain Ida Abs." Ye Qian said.
"No problem, let's go back and drink and chat." After Ida Abs finished speaking, he began to order his men to turn the steering wheel and drive back to his old nest. As for the two ships, Ida Abs also let his men board the ship and drive back.
The old nest of the Devil Pirates is located on a small coral island in the Pacific Ocean, the location is very hidden, if not for the people from the Devil Pirates to lead the way, Ye Qian really couldn't find it. It's no wonder that all countries have spent so much effort to destroy them, but they have returned in vain. Perhaps, as Mo Long said, there are certain countries behind the Devil Pirates.
Ye Qian and Mo Long did not take the oil tanker, but followed the warship on which Ida Abs, the head of the Devil Pirates, boarded. This is Ye Qian's first time boarding a warship, and it feels far more satisfying than sitting in a tank, and he can't help but fantasize about when Langya will get a naval force and command these warships to fight. What an exhilarating thing that would be.
Along the way, Ida Abs and Ye Qian chatted happily, like a pair of old friends who haven't seen each other for many years. Heroes cherish heroes, these two are the overlords of their respective industries and possess supreme rights.
It was already three days later when we arrived at the old den of the Devil Pirates. Coral Island is just a place where the Devil Pirates hold hostages and store the plundered goods, and they basically live in warships. However, people who stay at sea for a long time will always have a feeling of unreliability, and they still occasionally live on the island for a few days. When Ye Qian got off the boat, he almost couldn't stand still. After drifting at sea for too long, it feels so good to step on land.
The life of the pirates is obviously much better than that of Langya. The authentic big eat meat, the big names drink, and there are not as many rules as Langya. That night, Ida Abs hosted a banquet in honor of Ye Qian, Mo Long, and the accompanying crew members. Those crew members felt as if they had passed away. They never expected that one day they would be able to eat, drink and chat with the pirates.
"Captain Ida Arbus, I have already brought the money. You tell me your bank account number, and I will transfer it to you. Two hundred million is not a lot," Ye Qian said.
"Hey (reading the third tone), Mr. Ye, you are out of touch now, you take the goods and people back, and the money is forgot." Ida Abs said very straightforwardly.
"How can this be done? There are rules, and I can't break your rules." Ye Qian said. For Ye Qian, money is a trivial matter, the most important thing is how to create greater profits after spending the money, that is the most critical. Although 200 million is not a small amount, it is still worth it if some kind of cooperation agreement can be reached with the Devil Pirates.
"Mr. Ye, you are underestimating I, Ida Abs." Ida Abs said, "Otherwise, you won't be able to take those two warships back anyway. Why don't you sell them at a discount?" Give it to me as a ransom, do you think so?"
The cost of a frigate is at least 150 million U.S. dollars, and the cost of that cruiser is even higher, at least 800 to 900 million U.S. dollars. The two warships add up to nearly one billion US dollars, Ye Qian has to sigh, these pirates are really fucking rich. However, when he was on the warship just now, Ye Qian also took a closer look. These pirate warships are already a bit dilapidated, and they are basically not equipped with any heavy weapons, but it is not that simple to get them. Ye Qian still admires the ability of these pirates.
As for the support from certain countries behind the scenes to provide them with these equipment, whether it was seized during the encirclement and suppression by the navies of various countries, or bought with money, Ye Qian does not know. But no matter which one it is, it can show that these pirates are not ordinary goods.
"Since Captain Ida Arbus has said so, if I refuse again, it will be too hypocritical. Make a price!" Ye Qian said. However, Ye Qian admired Ida Abs more and more in his heart. In fact, Ida Abs could choose another way to get these two warships, just kill himself and Molong; but Yida Da Abs chose this method, which made Ye Qian feel that Da Abs deserved the title of a hero.
After some haggling, the price was finalized, and the two warships were equivalent to 400 million US dollars. It's just that Ye Qian and Ida Abs are thinking of each other when bargaining in different vegetable markets. The cost of the two warships is one billion US dollars. After deducting the loss and the 200 million ransom, both Ye Qian and Ida Abs feel that they have not suffered a loss. Of course, Ye Qian was doing business without capital, which was beyond his expectation, and he got 400 million US dollars easily, which is a bit unimaginable. If the Spike mercenaries were to carry out the mission, how long would it take to earn the 400 million dollars. This also made Ye Qian realize the huge profits contained in the sea business.
Ida Arbus immediately transferred the money into Ye Qian's Swiss bank account, very refreshing, which is enough to show that these pirates are really not ordinary rich.
"Captain Ida Abs, actually I came to see you this time, and there is another important matter I want to discuss with you, to see if we can cooperate." Ye Qian said.
Ye Qian peeked at the sea business, so why didn't Ida Abs peek at the land business. Hearing what Ye Qian said, Ida Abs suddenly became interested and said, "Mr. Ye, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Ida Abs is obliged to help if he can."
"Fresh!" Ye Qian smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, we Langya also have our own company. Recently, the company has encountered a strong opponent. Their financial resources are very rich and they compete with us in various industries. .Moreover, most of what they do is export trade, so it is inevitable to go by sea, so I wonder, can Captain Ida Abs detain their cargo tanker at sea." Ye Qian said, "Of course, I will provide Commander Ida Abs with the route of each of their voyages and the time of departure."
For Ida Abs, this was a windfall. With the shipping route and time, they can accurately hijack the opponent's ship, which is far more important than blindly looking for a suitable target. "This is not a big problem. I don't know which company Mr. Ye is talking about?" Ida Abs said.
When Ida Abs said this, Ye Qian knew it even more. Obviously, in order to ensure the smooth shipping, some companies would pay them an annual fee, which should be regarded as a protection fee. Of course, the Devil Pirates are also happy to do this, it's better than blind robbery.
