My Pet is a Snapping Turtle

  Chapter 286 Standby Off the Persian Gulf

  Liu Yong nodded.

  This kind of thing must be guarded against.

   Those pirates will not reason with you, nor will they give up hijacking because you are a ship of the Global Shipping Group.

  After sending Hu Shijun away, Liu Yong communicated with the Overlord who was active in the Western Pacific Ocean.

   "Overlord, there is work to do."

  Hearing this, Bawang's spirit was slightly shaken. It has been so leisurely these days that it was a bit boring. It had long wanted to do something for Liu Yong.

   Overlord said: "Master, what work do you need me to do?"

   Liu Yong said: "You go to the Persian Gulf to stand by first. In that sea area, our tanker needs your escort."

   "Okay, master, I'm going to the sea off the Persian Gulf now."

  Bawang set off with its giant spear in hand. Now its weight gain is relatively slow, but after a long period of time, its weight has reached 552 tons, which is not a bad growth rate.

  Bawang can maintain a swimming speed of about 300 nautical miles, and there is no problem in swimming two or three thousand nautical miles in one breath.

  The owner of Proton Ocean Shipping Group, Shi Wanquan, has a headache. The pirates have contacted him by long-distance phone, and within 48 hours, they will deposit 50 million US dollars into a designated account. Otherwise, they will kill a crew member an hour a night.

  50 million dollars!

  Shi Wanquan felt distressed to death. Although their Proton Group is considered a big company, it is impossible to get 50 million US dollars out at once.

  A year ago, they would have the financial resources. At the beginning, the total transport tonnage exceeded 3.5 million tons. However, with the rise of the Global Shipping Group, the business is getting better and better.

  It can be said that they were struggling to survive and had to sell several large ships when their finances were tight. The current total tonnage is only about 2.5 million tons.

  Headache!

  Where do I go to raise so much money, find a bank loan, or sell one or two big ships.

  The door of the office was pushed open, and his subordinate Yuan Guanghui came in, with a sad face, and reported: "Boss, those pirates called again, urging us to transfer the money."

  MMP, reminder, reminder, reminder, if I have money, don’t you know how to send the money earlier?

  Yuan Guanghui knew the company's financial situation, and said softly: "Boss, are you worrying about money?"

  Shi Wanquan sighed, "Yes, where can I raise 50 million US dollars in a short time, if it is 20 million US dollars, I can do it."

Yuan Guanghui said: "Boss, recently the ocean shipping business has become more and more difficult to do, almost all of which are dominated by the Global Shipping Group, or we will gradually transform like the Risheng Group and sell some of the large ships in our hands one after another. "

  Shi Lijun said: "You mean, sell our ships to Global Shipping Group one after another?"

  Looking at the country, the shipping companies that can buy these ships, except for the two state-owned ocean shipping groups, are estimated to be only the Global Shipping Group.

  The state-owned Ocean Shipping Group's ship buying procedures are too cumbersome, there are many procedures, and the funds cannot be in place all at once.

   Only by selling to the Global Shipping Group, the funds can be in place at once, and it is completely possible to raise 50 million US dollars within 48 hours.

  Shi Lijun fell into deep thought.

  Liu Yong is not in the office, but at the construction site of Universal Tower. This skyscraper with a design height of 98 floors has been built to 72 floors. Basically, one floor will be added in two or three days, and the top will be capped in about a month.

  Liu Yong was only accompanied by Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang, and Qiu Yang was not required to accompany him.

   This is a light car, and it doesn't mean to alarm the construction party, just looking at the building from the outside.

  Liu Yong said with satisfaction: "The construction is progressing well, and there is still about a month to complete the roof. In about half a year at most, we will be able to move into this building for office."

   This is a landmark building in Huahai City, ranked among the top five in China, and a Grade A office building.

  Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang were slightly excited.

  The three of them were looking up at the building. Suddenly, a young man ran over, "Brother, can you take a photo for us?"

  Liu Yong smiled. They were a young couple, probably college students.

   Liu Yong said straightforwardly: "No problem."

  The boy happily handed the phone to Liu Yong, "Brother, thank you, just use this building as the background."

   After speaking, he held his girlfriend's hand and stood up, posing for a pose. Liu Yong took several photos for them with his mobile phone.

  The boy looked at a few photos and saw that the quality was good, so he expressed his thanks again.

  Liu Yong was very curious, "The Universal Building has not been completed yet, why are you taking photos with it as the background?"

  The boy replied: "Brother, the Universal Building is very popular now. The area around here is a place for online celebrities to check in. It will be a kind of commemoration to take a photo before it is completed."

  Liu Yong smiled. He didn't expect this place to become a check-in place for Internet celebrities.

   Sure enough, after a little attention to Liu Yong, he found something different. There were quite a few people taking pictures here, some with mobile phones, and some with more professional cameras.

   Some took photos of the building under construction, some took photos with the building, and some even broadcast live here to interact with his fans.

   What surprised Liu Yong even more was that a pretty, very young girl came, probably in her early 20s, and she was very fashionable.

  Holding the mobile phone stand, she pointed the lens of the mobile phone at herself and the building, and started to broadcast live with the building under construction as the background, interacting with her fans.

   "Everyone said they want me to live broadcast in front of Universal Tower, I will satisfy you today, see if you see it, the Universal Tower under construction is behind you."

  Because of the relatively short distance, Liu Yong could hear it clearly, and couldn't help smiling, thinking in his heart, Universal Building has really become a place for Internet celebrities to check in, and some people live broadcast here.

  She is right next to me. Could it be that she has captured me in the picture? Should I get out of the way? Liu Yong looked at the beautiful woman who was broadcasting live, and thought so in his heart.

  Liu Yong was indeed photographed. Apart from Liu Yong, there were quite a few people who were photographed.

  However, everyone in the live broadcast is passerby A, passerby B, etc. The attention of fans must be on this little beauty in the live broadcast.

   This beautiful woman has a little fame, her online name is "Xiao Qingya", she has more than 10 million fans, she can be considered an Internet celebrity.

  She broadcast the live broadcast seriously, and turned the angle from time to time in order to capture the surrounding situation more clearly.

   Fans spoke out one after another.

   "The Universal Building is really good. It has been built so high, at least 70 stories high."

   "It is worthy of being a landmark building in our Huahai City. I really look forward to its capping and completion as soon as possible."

  The main attention of the fans was basically on this building under construction. Suddenly, some people noticed Liu Yong who entered the camera.

   "Who is that handsome young guy? He's so handsome."

   "A standard handsome guy, Xiao Qing, point the camera at the handsome guy, we want to take a look at the handsome guy."

   Noticing what the fans said, Xiaoqing also noticed that a handsome guy next to her entered her camera.

  ...

  The third update is here!
