"They are not pirates." Ebady said: "Only the leaders of the pirate organizations are considered professional pirates. The rest of the pirates may be fishermen, herders, or farmers, and as for these people... ... They are community security guards."
"Community security?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.
Abadi nodded: "Mr. Xiao, you can see it in the hospital today. We attach great importance to safety here. So the community has community armed forces, the streets have street armed forces, the tribes have tribal armed forces, and the hospitals have them. Their own armed forces. But to be honest, most of the people in there are full of guns. To be honest, they can't even shoot at all. Their ability to hit is completely based on faith. And those security personnel who have received military training are talented. It is the most sought after. And Mr. Mukala has such a group of people who have received formal military training. They are responsible for security in the communities under his jurisdiction."
Xiao Peng asked puzzledly: "Then why did they get caught as pirates?"
Abadi shrugged: "In the Pirate Investment Exchange, everything can be invested in: drugs, fuel, weapons, food, speedboats...Of course, including people! These people who have received formal military training are pirates. The main force here. They are the capital that Mr. Mukala invested last time."
Xiao Peng didn't know what to say after hearing this, but Yang Mengle said, "Isn't Mukala paying a lot? The weapons were thrown into the sea, and everyone was caught."
Abadi shrugged: "Investment is risky, and failure is normal, isn't it? Besides, the Pirate Investment Exchange is Mr. Mukala’s property. His leading investment can only be regarded as a normal business promotion. And his lost assets It’s not worth mentioning compared to the return that the investment brings to him. So such an investment failure is not worth mentioning to Mr. Mukala."
Xiao Peng was shocked when he heard this: "Ebadi, your perspective is a bit interesting, turning piracy into commercial activities? You speak English so fluently, where did you learn it?"
"Oh, I used to study abroad at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania." Abadi said lightly.
Xiao Peng covered his face after hearing this, and now, does he even have a high degree of education for the underworld?
"Wharton School of Business?" Yang Meng was stunned after hearing this: "That is Georgina's alma mater, one of the best business schools in the whole Star-Tangled Country."
Abadi was taken aback after hearing this: "Georgina?"
Yang Meng nodded: "Georgina Bloomberg, your alumni. Do you know each other?"
Abadi nodded: "Of course I know, the star of our school. His father is Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York. Do you also know?"
Xiao Peng pointed to Yang Meng and said, "Georgina is his wife, and Bloomberg is naturally his old man."
Abbadi looked surprised after hearing this, Yang Meng was very dissatisfied with his expression: "What do you mean by that expression? Don't you believe Georgina is my wife?"
"No, no, no! I didn't mean that. I just couldn't think of it..." He said nothing.
McAfee answered, "You didn't expect Georgina to have such a strong taste and found such a humanoid monster, right?"
After listening, Abadi nodded and then shook his head-he nodded because he really thought so, and shook his head because Yang Meng's eyes were not right when he nodded.
However, he felt that what happened today was really a bit unacceptable for him: Xiao Peng and Yang Meng were originally friends whom McAfee brought to the world. Unexpectedly, they were wilder than their Somalis. A group of people don’t talk about it, and the understatement is like crushing a few ants; he let the machine gun shoot the prison is also considered to give Xiao Peng the two people to give them off, tell them who is the boss here, I did not expect the two People were not nervous at all when they saw the shooting, and watched the play with a relaxed look, as if it was not a heavy machine gun but firecrackers; the most important thing was that he now knew that Yang Meng turned out to be Bloomberg's son-in-law.
Who is Bloomberg? One of the top people on the Forbes wealth list! Can he be his son-in-law, can that be an ordinary person? But he is not stupid, as everyone can see that Yang Meng has Xiao Peng as the core and is more like Xiao Peng's bodyguard.
Can Bloomberg's son-in-law be his bodyguard? What is Xiao Peng's status?
He feels that his brain is a little insufficient!
Xiao Peng patted Abadie on the shoulder and motioned him not to be nervous.
"Abadi, what are you doing to take them out now?" Xiao Peng asked.
Abadi replied: "Naturally, it will be traded on the exchange tomorrow."
Xiao Peng asked curiously: "Does your exchange business still look good?"
Abadi nodded and said: "Our pirate exchange currently has 72 pirate teams looking for investment here. And now there are many pirate organizations on the Puntland side that come to us to seek cooperation. Invest in pirates on our exchange. It has become the best investment activity among the rich in Somalia. Even the current President of Somalia has invested in us, so our business is really good."
His words left Xiao Peng and Yang Meng collectively speechless. No wonder Somalia cannot ban pirates. It's so special that even the president personally invests. How can this Somali pirates be defeated?
"Ebady, where are we going now?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.
After hearing this, Abadi said to Xiao Peng: "Mr. Xiao, I just want to discuss with you. We want to go back to the community first. We have a lot of weapons still there and we have to prepare for tomorrow's trade fair. Waste your time? Go together?"
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this: "Of course, what are you doing so polite? Besides, I also want to see the ordinary life of ordinary people in Somalia. It would be nice to see the community where you live."
McAfee sighed and said nothing.
Xiao Peng was puzzled and looked at McAfee: "McAfee, what are you doing with a sigh?"
McAfee smiled bitterly: "Xiao, believe me, you will have to pay taxes if you go."
Xiao Peng hadn't spoken yet, Yang Meng was anxious: "What kind of bragging? I run to Somalia to pay taxes? I want to see, who dares to collect my taxes!"
After listening to Yang Meng's words, Xiao Peng smiled without saying a word. He also thought that Yang Meng was right. Collect his own taxes? What are you bragging about?
As a result, Xiao Peng was a little dumbfounded after going to Abadie’s community. Is this a community? Are you sure it's not a slum?
All houses in the entire community. . . . . . Damn, there is no house! They are all square tents with words from various countries on the tents. These are tents used by humanitarian organizations of various countries to help Somalia. Xiao Peng also saw China's green military canvas tent. This is the community? Not a slum?
The funny thing is that there is a big sign at the gate of the community, which says ‘Abraham Community’ to remind others that this is a community and not a slum.
"Ebadi, are you sure this is a community or not a slum?" Xiao Peng asked Ebadi.
Abadi also simply took Xiao Peng directly to the back of the community, only separated by a road. The place surrounded by iron walls was the slum.
Well, slums and communities are indeed different.
The ‘house’ in the slums can’t even be used for tents. They just surround a circle of about three or four square meters with stones on the ground, tie them up with branches, and cover them with rags and plastic bags to form a round tent. In such a small place, a family can live in hot and broken place. Xiao Peng put his head in and took a look. The bed was covered with a cloth on the floor, and the smell inside was unnecessary. The key is that it is hot and humid, Xiao Peng instantly thinks of the sauna.
"Can you still live in this special?" Yang Meng said angrily.
A group of children had surrounded Xiao Peng and the others, and watching these children, Xiao Peng directly thought of the "luchai stick" in the text they learned when they were in school, each with their big heads on top of them, without any flesh on them. Everyone stretched out their hands at Xiao Peng and the others. Although they didn't understand what they were saying, the meaning was self-evident: they wanted something.
"What do they want?" Xiao Peng asked Abadi.
Abadi shrugged: "Everything. There is nothing here."
Xiao Peng asked puzzledly: "Then what do they eat and drink?"
"All the food that can be found is mostly bananas. The crop that Somalia can get is bananas. You can eat it when you roast it, but you can't find it all the time. Water is more difficult to solve. Somalia is arid here. It’s amazing, why is Mr. Mukala respected here? It’s because he distributes his precious water to everyone." Ebady said.
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the children here, Xiao Peng really couldn't help it: "Ebadi, where can I buy food?"
He now understands what McAfee means by "paying taxes", but mortals still have something called "conscience". Seeing this situation, he can't help but want to help everyone.
After hearing this, Abadi said: "Mr. Xiao, I know what you want to do, but I don't recommend you to do it."
Xiao Peng frowned slightly after hearing this: "What do you mean? Do you think I can't afford it?"
McAfee stood up and spoke at this time: "Xiao, you have misunderstood Abadi. Now is really not the time for you to help them."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Abadi explained: "If you help this slum, people in the nearby community will feel angry and think that they have taken away the relief that originally belonged to this community. In the future, this community and slum will be in a state of confrontation for a long time, and it will easily break out War. And if you join this community to help, other communities will be hostile to this community and slums. The most important thing is that if you really help them, the news will spread soon, and you will Become a big'fat sheep' in the eyes of all forces, facing so many poor and crazy people, we cannot guarantee your safety."
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded when he heard it, and after a while, he said angrily: "What the hell, you deserve to be poor!"
