Chapter 15 Daring to eat our boss's money
Warship landing pad.
After the Marines finished their meal and spent some time getting to know the players, they boarded an Osprey helicopter to return and report.
The players on the deck waved goodbye to their newly made friends.
"It's still 500 kilometers to Djibouti port. Once the rescue is successful, we'll continue to escort you to the port."
The captain looked at Su Xuan and said.
The main tanker owners have extraordinary backgrounds, and the military is willing to do them a favor, given the deep ties between the arms conglomerates and the military.
"That's great, I can finally get some rest."
Exhausted by the pirates, Su Xuan relaxed upon hearing that the warships would provide escort.
The ship was rocking violently; even when he was trying to sleep, the huge waves would toss him around like he was being tossed about in a washing machine.
During the two or three days at sea, Su Xuan missed the comfort of his bed on land, where he wouldn't have to worry about being thrown off by a big wave while he was sound asleep.
drip-
The captain's phone rang. He took it out, glanced at the number, answered it casually, and handed it to Su Xuan.
"Su, you did a great job. You received the promised one million US dollars in full, and each member of your mercenary team will receive an extra ten thousand US dollars."
"I've already had the count of the pirates killed and the ships destroyed calculated. Once you arrive at the port, my designated personnel will come to you with gold and US dollars."
Su Xuan answered the phone, unable to hide his smile, and listened quietly.
$100 million, $1000 for killing a pirate and $5000 for destroying a boat.
Su Xuan mentally calculated that this amounted to 140 million US dollars plus 10 kilograms of gold.
Su Xuan made a fortune on this oil tanker escort mission, hiring a top-tier player escort team for only 10 yuan.
Su Xuan had previously promised to give players an extra 1 yuan as a reward, and the cost was only 20 yuan. This trip earned him a profit of over a hundred times.
Su Xuan led the player team back to the oil tanker, with warships leading the way and providing escort.
The tanker was mainly damaged on the deck and bridge, while the spare control room and engine room were undamaged, allowing the tanker to continue its journey to the port of Djibouti for repairs.
……
At a speed of 18 knots per hour, the tanker arrived at the port in less than 20 hours.
Djibouti City, the capital of Djibouti.
Djibouti is a country with a superior geographical location, with one-third of the world's shipping passing through it. The Djibouti government leases its ports to various countries, and the rental income earned is enough to support the entire nation.
Su Xuan rented a floor of rooms near the port and arranged for all the players to stay there.
"Finally, I can sleep in a big bed."
Su Xuan arranged a double room for himself and collapsed onto the bed. He now understood why sailors would be given a long vacation after being at sea for several months.
Ordinary people really can't withstand months of long voyages at sea. The weather at sea can change suddenly, and the surging waves overnight can keep people from sleeping.
"Boss, someone's looking for you."
Su Xuan's door was not closed, and the player Eggplant opened the door and poked his head in, saying.
Su Xuan booked the entire floor, and the players were responsible for all security and weapon protection.
"Bring it up."
Su Xuan stood up and sat down in a chair.
Not long after, a middle-aged white man with a thick beard, carrying a leather suitcase, was brought up by the player Eggplant. Another player followed behind, also carrying a black suitcase.
"Boss Su, this is the money the president has used to settle your escort fees."
The middle-aged white man opened the briefcase in his hand, revealing neat stacks of US dollars, each bill being a hundred dollars.
Meanwhile, the player carrying the black briefcase opened the briefcase and placed it on the bed. Inside were several standard gold bars, labeled with their weight and brand, and the rest were gold nuggets of varying sizes.
"Take it and weigh it."
Su Xuan glanced at the gold and instructed the player.
Ten kilograms of gold is quite expensive; even a small amount less would be a huge sum.
When the middle-aged white man heard that the gold was to be weighed, his pupils contracted instantly.
"Mr. Su, I am the overseas representative of the Smith family of Raytheon Technology Company. I am in charge of all overseas affairs."
"We will cooperate many times in the future, and there will be a lot of financial transactions. I will also entrust any projects I have to Boss Su with confidence."
The middle-aged white man looked at Su Xuan with a calm expression and said.
Su Xuan gestured, "Please sit down."
Su Xuan sensed something was amiss in the white man's words.
If the entire family's overseas affairs are managed by one person, there must be something fishy going on.
"Boss Su, I have a lot of good projects. You don't know, some people will even advance a sum of money to get me to take on a project."
The white man sitting in the chair continued speaking, handing over a business card.
"Jemur".
Su Xuan took the business card and glanced at it; it read "Director of External Affairs, Thor Technology".
"Boss, two kilograms of gold are missing."
The player who had taken the gold out to be weighed earlier walked into the room aggressively, carrying a box and staring at Jemur.
"I have a good project I can introduce to you. Consider the two kilograms of gold as your initial investment."
Jemuel, the white man caught stealing money, showed no panic on his face and even exuded arrogance, suggesting that this was not the first time he had done this.
Raytheon Technologies' overseas affairs are all handled by Jemur, and there are always some gray-area transactions involved.
Snapped!
"You dare to eat our boss's money?"
The player carrying the gold chest slapped the man, knocking him to the ground.
"No wonder most of the gold is in the form of gold nuggets of varying sizes. This is clearly black gold, stolen from somewhere and melted down into nuggets."
"Where did our boss's original gold go?"
The player kicked Jemur and said, "Money laundering is one thing, but taking 20% is unbearable."
"Are there also hundreds of thousands less US dollars here?"
Player Eggplant picked up the briefcase containing US dollars and asked, "You dare to take 20% of the gold, let alone the US dollars in this briefcase?"
"If we help Director Jemuel up, the top director will be interested in this little bit of money. He said he'd introduce me to some projects."
Su Xuan glanced at Jemur lying on the ground and, who was about to continue his attack, picked him up and pressed him into a chair.
The player did a pretty responsible job, protecting not only the boss but also the boss's assets.
"Is there anything else the boss wants to tell you?"
Su Xuan asked.
The Director of External Affairs at Jemr Raytheon Technologies is considered a big shot by some small countries and warlords, since the US arms conglomerate is far from satisfied with its domestic market and wants to sell weapons and ammunition all over the world.
Otherwise, the United States wouldn't claim to be the protector of the world.
"Yes, the company plans to hire General Manager Su as the security director, responsible for the company's external security. The security fee is two million US dollars per year, and the weapons and equipment will be provided by the company."
Jemur hadn't expected that the mercenaries under Su Xuan's command, composed of players, would be so fierce, attacking him right away. In all his years of trading with other forces and taking kickbacks, no one had ever dared to treat him like this.
Jemur has a tacit rule of taking a 20% cut when making deals with other factions or individuals; this has become an unspoken rule over the years.
Jemur is in charge of overseas trade, and Su Xuan is thinking of acquiring another batch of weapons and equipment: "I can't be the security director for the time being, but you can use my gold and money as payment for the weapons and equipment."
Su Xuan hadn't expected Smith to value him so much, but Su Xuan didn't plan to stay here long-term. Providing external security for an arms dealer company sounded extremely dangerous.
