Watching the boat disappear into the night, the village head standing on the dock smiled, shook his back and hands step by step and hummed the traditional songs of the guart people back to the house. He cleaned up the things on the table, then took out a bottle of wine from the bottom of the cabinet, took down one of the dried salted fish hanging under the eaves of the house, steamed it in the pot for a while, put on the dry sauce, sprinkled celery leaves, drank the liquor and ate the fish.
After a mouthful of liquor, his body soon became warm and drank. At the thought that these guests had boarded the ship, he couldn''t help feeling a little guilty. Of course, he was more happy.
He knew the boss three years ago.
Three years ago, his wife suffered from a serious illness and was in urgent need of money. She borrowed money from many people in the local compatriots. In the end, she didn''t raise enough money for the operation. When he was about to give up in the face of despair, a gentleman appeared in front of him and not only helped him pay for his wife''s medical expenses, but also sponsored an additional fee for him to buy a fishing boat to go to sea. He is very grateful to this gentleman. Although he has never met him, his gratitude is definitely not false. This gentleman saved him from despair at that time and gave him courage and hope to continue to live.
Later, his wife died. Even if there were enough medical expenses, it didn''t help. Less than half a year after the successful operation, she died in the hospital bed. The doctor told him that although the operation was very successful, the cancer cells spread too fast and died of organ failure due to a series of complex reasons such as old age and physical failure.
After his wife died, he was depressed for some time. Fortunately, they had a child. The child became the sustenance and motivation of his next life. All he did was to make the child have better living conditions. In recent years, the whole federal society has been thriving, business has been particularly prosperous, and all walks of life have been greatly improved. Although he won''t get rich by fishing, he is enough to support the operation of the family, and he still has some spare money.
His children finished their studies last year. When he didn''t know how to choose a job for a while, he found the middleman who helped the gentleman and asked if he could let his children work for the gentleman. After waiting for a few days, the other party refused the request, but gave him a new choice, that is, to let his children work for the Atlantic group. That''s the Atlantic group company. The whole Federation doesn''t know that the Atlantic group company is an emerging large consortium. Even Mr. Albert, the leader, has become a congressman, which shows that the future of the Atlantic group company is unlimited.
The child successfully became a member of the Atlantic group company. Not to mention his success in work, he also gained love. Everything seems to be developing towards the best. His life has become relaxed and lonely, of course.
If there is no accident, he may continue to live a plain life. When he can''t do anything, he will sell all his things, move to live with his children, and then watch his children get married and have children to enjoy the happiness of his family. I will grow old quietly in the years until I face death and let the dust return to the dust and the earth return to the earth. Maybe I haven''t done anything great and magnificent in my life, but isn''t this the life of an ordinary person? It doesn''t need to be wonderful, just be satisfied!
The sudden outbreak of the financial market during this period has brought too many changes to the federal society. Even a fisherman living by the sea knows that as long as he invests his money in the financial market, he can definitely make money. Of course, he is just a fisherman. Even if others tell him that this is a 100% profitable business, he may not know how to do it. It was not until one day his son suggested that he also invest in financial products that he realized that this was the only problem.
His son works in Atlantic group company, which is the consortium with the most development potential at present. With more than a year''s efforts, he has more or less entered the sight of middle-level management and been reused to a certain extent. Naturally, he also knows some "internal information" that outsiders do not know. After two rounds of market, the boy decided to share the secret with his lonely father, so that he could spend the scenery when he was old, rather than go fishing all day.
After working hard all his life, the old man should enjoy the rest of his life.
Persuaded by his son, he invested all his savings in the financial market. With the help of his son, he also mortgaged his fishing boat to the bank. The unprecedented prosperity of the financial market has brought considerable returns. Seeing that the money in his account is increasing significantly every day, he can''t close his mouth. He never knew that there was such an easy job in the world that he could make money.
Just as he was about to move out of here, the financial tsunami broke out. All the savings of him and his son were overturned and submerged by the wave. What''s more troublesome is that his son not only mortgaged all his assets to the bank, but also misappropriated part of the company''s funds by taking advantage of his position. In fact, this kind of thing has not happened before. Large companies have many names in terms of capital flow. At the same time, they also have a settlement day like banks. Only on the settlement day can they find some problems. The Atlantic consortium''s settlement cycle is quarterly and once every three months. As long as the gap is filled in before the settlement date, there will be no problem.
Some time ago, the financial market was crazy enough for them to safely use the money to make more money for themselves.
In other words, their father and son are now penniless and are suspected of misappropriating public funds. That''s a crime!
If it was in the past, a small amount of misappropriation could not be seen at all, and there was plenty of time for them to raise money. The problem is that the Atlantic consortium was suddenly exposed as a fraud. The FBI and the Financial Regulatory Commission began a comprehensive investigation into the Atlantic consortium, which is quite troublesome, because his son must fill all the gaps before investigating the money he misappropriated. In addition, there are still many problems to be solved.
In such a desperate time, the gentleman who contacted him hoped that he could find a boat to carry an important friend out of here, as long as he went to the high seas. For this reason, the gentleman was willing to pay 10000 federal guilders as a reward for his help.
People who eat by the sea at the seaside have a little contact with people who eat another bowl of rice at sea. Many times, stowaways will send those people to places where there are no patrols according to the requirements of customers. This small fishing village is one of them.
He contacted the stowaway boat and told the story here. Ten thousand federal guilders is just a drop in the bucket for his current situation, but even so, it''s better to have ten thousand yuan than not to have ten thousand yuan. But he didn''t know that the appeal brought by the national financial frenzy was definitely not an ordinary thing. The captain of the stowaway ship owed a sum of money, and he also needed money. After asking about the relevant matters, the captain suddenly had an unexpected idea - kidnapping.
Since this gentleman is very rich, it must not be too difficult to solve their current difficulties. Why not let this rich gentleman continue to give full play to his generous nature and help them end their financial troubles?
They don''t need much. They just want a large amount of money enough for them to enjoy their life. They don''t intend to hurt this gentleman, as long as he cooperates.
At first, he disagreed. He felt that it was against his conscience to do so, but under the persuasion of the captain and in the face of his son''s dilemma, he gradually wavered. Yes, it''s just a little money, but it won''t be much. With this gentleman''s wealth and generosity, he must not mind. Maybe some of the means they use are not so aboveboard, but isn''t there no way? Without this money, his next life would be very dark, he would become one of the street tramps, and his children might go to prison for misappropriating the company''s money.
On the one hand, he lived a gloomy life, on the other hand, he was condemned by his conscience but was able to spend his old age. After considering it overnight, he agreed with the captain''s idea and formulated a very simple but effective plan.
They intend to pull these people close to the high seas, and then a "pirate ship" will appear, and they will all become prisoners. The captain and others will be "killed" by cruel pirates because they have no money to redeem themselves. The rich gentleman will take out the money happily for the sake of his life. As soon as they got the money, they left immediately. As for this gentleman and his entourage, they can be handed over to the patrol. They will take good care of the rich gentleman. After all, money is the only eternity in the Federation!
Looking up at the time, he didn''t know how things were going. He frowned and took another sip of wine. According to the time, he should almost meet the pirate ship now?
At the thought of this, he felt a little guilty. When others helped him, he rewarded others in this way, which is indeed in conflict with his faith and his inner morality.
If it weren''t for this world... Alas!
Durin could not imagine that such a thing happened by chance, but what he could not imagine was that he escaped.
After he disappeared, Mr. sail immediately asked the army and navy to completely freeze the border. Now, in the federal waters, patrol ships are patrolling almost continuously. If they really hit one end, they can only break their heads and bleed.
Just then, Dooling suddenly realized what was wrong. He looked up at the light bulb on the top of the cockpit - light!
Savi can see the people on the ship without boarding. He turns on all the lights at night. He won''t have a second meaning except telling others that there is a ship here. It is impossible for any stowaway boat to turn on all the lights at night and even turn off the engine to keep silent when necessary.
Who are they signaling to?
Turin''s eyes fell on the captain again, and a smile appeared on his face. "Mr. captain, can you tell me who you''re waiting for?"
