Chapter: 3247
The news shocked the whole world!
Including Ye Chen, who was in China, received pushes from major news media immediately.
The pirates in the Gulf of Aden hijacked the cargo ship in a very simple and rude way. It was nothing more than chasing the slow-moving cargo ship with a speedboat, using various weapons to deter the opponent from giving up resistance, and then boarding the ship to control all the crew members, and then drove the ship to their own. Go to the base camp and wait for the shipowner to redeem the person with money.
This time, when they hijacked several other ships, they were all resisted by international security personnel, and both sides suffered casualties.
However, the process of hijacking the Xinglong was extremely smooth.
Because there was almost no resistance on the Xinglong, it was nothing more than a few crew members spraying high-pressure water jets symbolically with high-pressure water guns. After the pirates fired threats, the crew was so scared that even the high-pressure water guns stopped.
Afterwards, the pirates successfully boarded the freighter, and were delighted to find that the owner of the Xinglong was too stingy and didn't even hire security personnel for the ship.
So, happily, they took control of dozens of crew members on the entire ship.
Immediately afterwards, Xinglong began to change its course and headed towards their base camp.
As soon as the Xinglong turned around, the pirates couldn't wait to report the news of the successful hijacking to their leader.
When the leader heard that he successfully robbed a freighter with nearly 20,000 containers, he was naturally very happy, thinking that he had caught a big fish.
Therefore, he immediately released a message to the outside world, claiming that the Xinglong had been hijacked by him, calling out the owner of the Xinglong, and demanding that the owner pay them a ransom of 10 million US dollars.
They had no idea who the owner of the Xinglong was.
However, according to their experience, as long as they announce the information of the ship to the outside world, the ship owner will come to them without stopping.
According to past experience, after confirming that the ship has indeed been hijacked, the shipowner will immediately communicate with the leader of the pirate organization, asking them not to harm the crew on the one hand, and bargaining on the price on the other hand.
Pirates can afford hijacking, but shipowners cannot.
Now that the shipping price is so high, I wish I could earn 100 million US dollars in one trip. If it is really delayed for a while because of being hijacked, not only will the transportation revenue suffer a heavy loss, but the owner of the cargo will also have to be compensated for the loss.
Sometimes, the loss caused by delaying a day may exceed several million dollars.
But what the pirate leader didn't expect was that Yisu Shipping from China didn't contact them immediately.
On the contrary, Ye Chen received a call from He Zhiqiu immediately.
As soon as the call was made, she said nervously, "Mr. Ye, our ship has been hijacked!"
"Yes." Ye Chen smiled slightly: "I saw the news."
He Zhiqiu said anxiously: "The robbers asked for a ransom of 10 million U.S. dollars. I haven't replied to them yet. Didn't you just arrange people from Wanlongdian to escort you? The ship just reported back eight hours ago , Said that the soldiers of Wanlongdian have already boarded the ship, how could such a thing happen..."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "This is my request to Wanlongdian."
"Ah?" He Zhiqiu was stunned, and blurted out, "Why?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, the boat will definitely be fine. As for why, you will know soon."
At the same time, the pirate leader who hijacked the Xinglong waited in the base camp for more than an hour, but did not receive any response from Yisu Shipping.
This indifferent attitude of Ysu Shipping was the first time he encountered it in his twenty years of piracy.
Moreover, he had been a pirate for 20 years, and it was the first time he had snatched a ship with such a large tonnage. In the end, he was ignored by the ship owner, which made him lose his patience immediately.
He paced back and forth in his command post, cursing in his mouth: "Is this Ysu Shipping company scared stupid? Otherwise, why hasn't it responded to my request until now?" JrNovels.com
