Chapter 1151: hostage

"Reale, can you speak well now?" Xiao Peng drank a cigar and looked at Reale cheerfully.
There were a total of thirteen pirates on the ship, and none of them could stand on the ground now.
"What do you want to do? You have gotten into a disaster! Don't want to leave Somalia alive!" Reale looked at Xiao Peng with an angry expression.
Xiao Peng looked relaxed: "Can I speak well now? Believe me, it doesn't matter if you can kill me, but I can guarantee that you will definitely die in front of us. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Reale calmed down after hearing this: "I was a little impulsive when I spoke. Can you tell me your purpose now?"
Xiao Peng shrugged and said: "I just said that the only idea we came here is to see our kidnapped compatriots, nothing more."
Reale looked incredulous after hearing this, and Xiao Peng shrugged: "Really, I just want to see the state of my compatriots. I didn't even think about saving them. People have to take responsibility for their choices. , Did you say what I said was right? I just wanted to ask them what they thought, running here to fish, do you feel that your life is too long to stimulate yourself?"
Reale looked at Xiao Peng and suddenly felt aggrieved by the beating. Wouldn't it be enough to let them look down on this? I want to watch as long as I want! Why should I pretend to be a big head here?
"Hammod, go and bring those Chinese people here." Reale said, pointing to one of his subordinates, while still not forgetting to say: "Don't contact others, it was a misunderstanding just now."
He could figure out whether Xiao Peng and the others were not the Raptors but the rivers. They really had the confidence to come and make trouble. Just now, more than a dozen people had guns in their hands. As a result, they were not afraid at all. Not to mention subduing, the weapons were not confiscated! why is it like this? Isn’t it just not afraid at all? I really got into trouble with these people, can I deal with them first, I must have died in front of them! So let's be honest.
Hammed brought the Chinese fishermen over. Xiao Peng was a little speechless when he watched it. Everyone was shirtless. All the clothes on the boat were taken away. Now everyone is wearing big pants. The more embarrassed, the more embarrassed.
After seeing Xiao Peng, someone hurriedly asked, "Are you here to save us?"
Xiao Peng was taken aback when he heard this. He had a little accent in Mandarin. He thought for a while and asked, "Are you compatriots on Baodao?"
Another person in the crowd hurriedly stepped forward: "I'm from Huaxia! I'm from the Northeast! My name is Zhao Yu and I'm from Harbin."
Xiao Peng frowned slightly after hearing this: "What do you think? Came here to fish?"
Zhao Yu was anxious: "Brother, we were deceived too! The labor service center told us that we were going to Spain to fish. I thought it would be a good thing to be able to go abroad to make a lot of money. I didn't expect the boat to be a Spanish fishing boat, but it was about to arrive. What about fishing in the Seychelles. I haven’t even been out in China. How do I know where the Seychelles is? I ended up fishing here, and I was by pirates in less than three days. This week has passed. Now, no one has sent the ransom over. We don’t want to stay here for a few years! For the sake of all Chinese people, you can find a way to save us!"
Xiao Peng is a bit speechless
I can see how crucial it is to learn geography well. Now that it’s good, you will become hostages inexplicably.
When Yang Meng heard this, he laughed ‘pouch’ and said,
You are really unlucky for you guy! Did you come out to make money or come out to make fun?

Zhao Yu looked at Yang Meng: "No, what do you do? News reporter?"
Yang Meng shrugged, "Do you think we are like reporters? Did you see that we have photographic equipment?"
"Are you pirates?" Zhao Yu's face changed drastically!
Yang Meng was completely speechless: "Dude, are you a film and television worker? Why don't you write scripts? We are pirates? Have you heard that there are yellow pirates in Somalia? They only trust their own people, OK! "
Zhao Yu also came back to his senses: "Then you are... I see, you are the officials of the Huaxia government, right? Are you here to save us? Hurry up and save us. After the law is over, all the fuel on the boat has been snatched away. We have nothing now! There is nothing to eat or drink."
Xiao Peng heard this and asked Leyalai: "Didn't you say to take more care of the Chinese hostages? Why does my compatriot complain that there is no food or drink?"
Reale opened his eyes wide and said: "Who said? We treat them much better than other people. They have two meals per liter of water a day, and others only have one meal per liter of water!"
Xiao Peng didn't know what to say. According to what he has seen and heard in Somalia, Reale's treatment of the hostages of Huaxia is indeed very good. Life is better than those in the slums. . . . . .
Zhao Yu hurriedly said, "Leader, you must rescue us, this day can't be passed!"
"A family on both sides of the strait! And us!" said the fisherman on the treasure island next to him.
Xiao Peng asked, "How many fishermen from Baodao?"
"Three! Three!" said the fisherman.
"How many hostages are there on board?" Xiao Peng continued to ask.
"With the captain, there are 28 people, 13 Filipinos, two French, and five Spanish. Although the ship is a Spanish ship, the captain is French, but the chief engineer is Spanish." Zhao Yu quickly replied.
Xiao Peng thought about it for a while, then asked Reale: "Do you know how much this ship is worth?"
Reale nodded and said, "They told me just now, it's your sir that you are knowledgeable."
"Then you want a ransom of five million dollars, isn't it a little less?" Xiao Peng said astonishingly.
Reale blinked, "But we can't even get five million dollars now. After so long, the coordinator still didn't reply."
Mukala told Xiao Peng that every time these pirates hijacked the ship, they would carefully check the ship’s documents to find the ship’s owner, and then ask the coordinator far inland to negotiate with each other. This negotiation process is not easy. The pirates want to ask for as much money as possible, and the shipowner wants to pay as little as possible, but one thing is certain, that is, the two parties are not willing to waste time, and the pirates are not willing to raise so much. The hostages, and the owner wants to get the people and the boat back quickly.
Now several insurance companies have introduced related insurance. If something goes wrong, the insurance company will contact the negotiating company, the negotiating company will deal with the pirate negotiator, negotiate the ransom and take the ship back, but those insurances are generally for crossing Aden This insurance is not provided for fishing boats in the Western Indian Ocean.
Xiao Peng lit a cigarette and said faintly, "Did you know? According to the price of this ship, if you ask for more ships, they will definitely give it. This ship is produced in Norway and it was launched just last year. It's a brand new ship. The owner over there is more anxious than you."
"Then why are they not in a hurry now?" Reale asked hurriedly.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "It's very simple. They are all waiting for others to save. You have also heard that there are Filipino fishermen, French, Spanish, and Chinese on the boat. Are these countries not in a hurry? Then the money should be Who will pay?"
"Of course the shipowner paid for it!" Reale replied without thinking.
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers: "We all understand this principle, but it is not that simple to implement it. Wouldn't it hurt for them to spend so much money? So they wanted to find someone to share it. For example, to find China, for example, to find The Philippines, for example, find France."
Reale blinked: "Do they care about the life and death of these people on the ship?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "If it's not that this ship is very advanced, if it's a small broken ship, see how long they can drag you with you? It's not without criminal conviction, isn't it?"
He was talking about a fishing boat on Baodao. More than 20 people on the boat were detained for more than five years. In the end, all the hostages were rescued by Huaxia, and the owner of that boat did not pay the ransom to take the boat back. In the end, that ship became the mother ship of the island of Somalia. Later, when looting the "Maersk" container ship, that ship was used. This has caused pirates to suffer, and hostages also suffer.
Reale was a little dazed after hearing this. What if the owner of the ship drags and doesn't pay, as Xiao Peng said?
Xiao Peng blinked, "Do you want to get the ransom sooner and more?"
Reale replied without thinking: "Of course I did."
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "I will give you an analysis. Why are they dragging their money away? Don't they just want other countries to share the economic pressure? Who can they call? The Philippines? They have never paid a ransom. As a precedent, the only ones that can be found are France and Huaxia. The possibility of Huaxia is even smaller, because Huaxia can only ask you to ensure the safety of the hostages, and then let these fishermen’s families collect money to redeem them. After all, their current behavior is to do Death. But isn't they just to make money for these fishermen who can come all the way to fish? They may be poorer than you, how can they pay such a big ransom?"
After hearing this, Reale nodded: "I know this. I still often watch Western media. You Chinese people have a difficult life, and may be worse than us. We are the hardest brothers on the happiness index, aren't we? "
For the first time, Xiao Peng thanked the Western media for its long-standing black China. Every year the West commented on a so-called ‘happiness index ranking list’. On that list, China’s ranking was similar to Somalia. It can't keep up with the war-torn countries like Syria and Libya.
Where are those countries happy? Can you be a refugee happily? But thank God, in the eyes of Somali pirates, Chinese people and them are hard brothers.
Xiao Peng suddenly raised the volume: "Then if I tell you that they don't pay for it now, they just want China to pay for it, do you think it is reasonable?"
