Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Chapter 247 Pirates · Class · Fists! (6000 words long, too lazy to divide)
"Why did you bring him here?"

At the airport, Bisna saw Ajie and blurted out this sentence subconsciously.

Wang Yaotang laughed out loud.

"Hey, washboard, what do you mean? What do you mean you brought me here? Why can't I come?" It was so contemptuous that Ajie pointed at Bisna and yelled angrily.

"What can you do? Look...wait." Bisna was halfway through her words when she suddenly frowned and muttered, "Washboard? Washboard?"

She can speak Cantonese, but is not so familiar with some specific words.

After thinking for a while, he finally realized what was happening and his voice suddenly rose, "Who are you talking about when you wash the clothesboard?"

As Bisna spoke, she exerted force with her arms and made a chest-lifting movement.

She was tall and strong, and could not wear the nice clothes that ordinary women wore, so when she went out, she usually wore tight clothes similar to combat uniforms. When she pushed her chest forward, her bulging chest muscles immediately held up the whole clothes.

Both of them had loud voices and there were many people at the airport, so they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Wang Yaotang protected everyone in front of him without saying a word.

Ajie was also stunned for a moment. He was often caught by Bisna for sparring. Although Bisna was very beautiful and had a great figure, he was the one who got beaten up every time, so he had no mood to pay attention to these things.

Seeing that Ajie didn't say anything, Bisna got even angrier. She stepped forward and grabbed Ajie by the collar. With one hand, she lifted up the 130-pound Ajie and opened her fist with the other hand, "Who are you talking about? The washing board!"

"Oh my god!" Wang Yaotang grinned, he couldn't bear to watch it.

Those watching the excitement around also gasped.

This woman is pretty, but isn't she too fierce?
If I marry her, won't I be beaten and cry for a long time if she's not happy with me?
"Let go!" Ajie looked around and suddenly became anxious. He pressed with his left hand and punched with his right hand.

Bisna curled her lips, grabbed Ajie's fist with her other hand, and twisted it hard, "Say it again."

"I... okay, okay, you have big breasts, you are great!" Ajie blushed and just wanted to leave here quickly.

It's so fucking embarrassing to be easily controlled by a woman!

This shout made Bisna blush, and she immediately realized that this was a public place with so many people watching. She put the man down with a snort, and pretended to be nonchalant, holding Ajie's shoulders, "That's good enough, let's go."

Ajie struggled but it was useless, so he quickly lowered his head and followed Bisna into the outside.

"Women are fierce!" Wang Yaotang said with a smile, and quickly followed.

"What are you doing here? You can't even use a gun properly on land, and the sea is so bumpy, I'm afraid you'll hit your own people." Bisna complained in a low voice, determined to prove that she was not wrong before.

"If I don't come, who will? Who will take care of the offshore business in the future? You? Or leave it to the newly recruited people!" Ajie retorted with a dark face.

"Why can't I manage it?" Bisna was immediately dissatisfied. She came from a boat corps and was the most professional!
"You are a woman, dealing with pirates and ship bosses on the sea all day long?"

"What's wrong with being a woman? Who are you looking down on? Even a woman like me can easily beat you."

"I won't tell you." Ajie was so angry that he shook his arms hard, but he couldn't break free.

Damn it, I’ll start training when I get back. Train hard. Sooner or later I’ll be able to suppress this bitch.

Bisna rented a Mercedes, got in the car and drove straight to the hotel.

"Brother Yao, Bisna said she would be in charge of the maritime business." Ajie said as soon as the car started.

"Hey, are you an elementary school student? And you're still complaining!" Bisna turned around and said.

"Watch the road." Wang Yaotang said quickly, "You are not suitable for maritime business."

"Why am I not suitable?" Bisna turned her head again.

"Big sister, watch your way!" Wang Yaotang was speechless. "Your figure is too conspicuous. It's easy for people to target you. Besides, it's not a question of whether I look down on women. It's about what the public thinks. Do you still want to change the perceptions of people all over the world?"

"Prejudice!" Bisna slammed the steering wheel hard.

Wang Yaotang looked sideways and felt that the steering wheel seemed to be deformed...

This woman's current weight is enough to fight in the highest men's heavyweight division in UFC. Tilting his head to look at Ajie who was gloating beside him, Wang Yaotang was speechless. Poor child.

(As shown in the picture: One kick, it cracked directly!)

"The deployment at sea hasn't even started yet, why are you in such a hurry?" Wang Yaotang consoled him with a smile, "You are the most professional among us, there is no doubt about that. You are also Chinese-Dutch, and this advantage cannot be replaced by anyone."

"What exactly are you planning?" Bisna asked, "Are you planning to recruit a group of people to become pirates?"

"Pirates can make very little money and are hated by everyone. I can make more money from any business I do," said Wang Yaotang with a smile.

"Don't treat me as someone like Ajie who knows nothing." Bisna snorted.

"Hey, I didn't provoke you, why are you talking about me again!" Ajie crossed his arms and looked unhappy.

"Shut up!" Bisna turned her head and glared at him. "Brother Yao, during my time in Lion City, I found someone to do statistics on the pirate industry in Southeast Asia over the years. The related losses are as high as 40 billion US dollars each year."

"So many?" Ajie exclaimed.

Wang Yaotang was also a little surprised. This number exceeded his imagination. He really thought that pirates were not active in 1981.

Bisna twitched her lips and said with some pride: "This is Lion City, the Strait of Malacca, the only way for all ships to pass through. This is where we have the most information about pirates, and the data is definitely correct."

"The pirates are mainly fishermen from the coasts of Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia. They rob boats during the off-season to supplement their livelihoods. They usually use small speedboats to board ships when they are traveling at low speeds and rob them of property."

"What a great way to subsidize one's livelihood!" Wang Yaotang smiled and applauded.

"You know Batam Island, which is 10 nautical miles away from Singapore? People there regard piracy as a career. Many people on the island are semi-professional pirates, and they are the highest-income group on the island."

"Pretty!"

"There are currently five large pirate groups in Southeast Asia, also known as the Five Pirate Kings by people at sea. They are equipped with speedboats and rocket launchers, and have branches in ports around the country responsible for intelligence, hijacking ships, and selling stolen goods."

"Pirate King? What era is this? The Batam Island you mentioned is so close to Singapore, right under our noses. We can see it by standing on the top floor of the hotel. Yet governments don't care?" Ajie asked in disbelief.

"Control? If they could, this problem wouldn't have occurred!" Bisna snorted.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Wang Yaotang said with a smile: "First of all, the ownership of Malacca seafood has not yet been determined."

"Isn't it Lion City?" Ajie asked with a frown.

"This is just Lion City's own propaganda. Let's see whether Indonesia and Malaysia recognize it or not." Wang Yaotang said with a smile: "Does Hong Kong have its own territorial waters?"

"Yes, about ten nautical miles." Ajie nodded.

"Batam belongs to Indonesia. The narrowest part of the strait between Batam and Singapore is less than 10 nautical miles, and the widest part is less than 12 nautical miles. According to Hong Kong's situation, the territorial waters directly reach the opposite coast. So who do you think owns the sea area in between?"

"Besides, it's not just Indonesia and Singapore. Malaysia is only 10-15 nautical miles away from Indonesia."

Ajie scratched his head and suddenly laughed, "Let's all bring everyone out to show off, whoever wins gets it."

"You know what, the India-Malaysia confrontation in 63 was actually shown. The fighting lasted for four years. The Commonwealth and the United States supported Malaysia. Britain even sent aircraft carriers over there in the later period. The Soviets were behind Indonesia." Wang Yaotang chuckled.

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter. In fact, solving international problems is similar to that of a society.

In order to fight for the control of a street, the four major societies each supported the gangs below them to show off their power.

However, the ownership of the Malacca Strait was not settled until the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea came out in 82, and it has been jointly managed by the three parties ever since.

However, Lion City, which is predominantly Chinese, is far from comparable to Indonesia and Malaysia in terms of urban management, so the biggest piece of the cake was taken by Lion City. There are also enough Chinese in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, which is separated by a river, and Kuala Lumpur can also get a share of the cake. The worst is Indonesia, which has stronger military strength and a larger water control area, but can only get a share of the pie.

In Hong Kong, Xinji doesn't make as much as Quanxing...

It would be strange if nothing happened!

Of course, Indonesia is also openly cracking down on piracy. In addition, due to religious issues, Indonesia has very poor control over provinces such as Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra. The independence movement of Aceh, which is blocking the northwest exit of the Malacca Strait, has never stopped, and finally won autonomy in 2005.

In addition, there are many fishermen from the surrounding Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines in the poor mountains and bad waters, and weapons are rampant. It is rare for them not to rob people while guarding the golden waterway.

After being robbed, the ships run back to the country or other countries’ waters, and the ship owners have no way to stop them.

"Bisna, do you know how the funds of Southeast Asian pirates flow?" Wang Yaotang asked in a deep voice.

"I haven't asked about capital flow. Why are you asking this?" Bisna was confused.

"We are all out here to make a living. The only difference is that we are on the shore and they are on the sea. Our goal is to make money. Only by knowing how the funds flow, we can understand the organizational structure and relationship network." Wang Yaotang said with a smile.

"So, you are all in the same industry." Bisna said with some amusement.

"It's us!"

"Ok."

"How did you collect this information?"

"Newspapers. Singapore is a port where ships are repaired, refueled, and transshipped. If there are any ships being robbed, it will of course be reported in the newspapers."

"Then why isn't there one in Hong Kong?" Ajie frowned.

"Don't you have a brain? Hong Kong is close to the mainland and has the Chinese and British navies. How dare pirates go there to rob?" Bisna said sarcastically.

Ajie opened his mouth and said, "Okay, okay."

After arriving at the Crowne Plaza Hotel and checking in, Wang Yaotang said with a smile, "You two go have fun. I have other things to do."

"Pick!" Ajie raised his middle finger with a dark face.

Wang Yaotang laughed out loud. Teresa Teng had a concert here and was staying at the Crowne Plaza.

Isn't this a coincidence?

If the boss has to do everything himself, what kind of boss is that! The elevator door opened, and two black-clad security guards immediately shouted respectfully, "Brother Yao."

Since Deng Lijun said she wanted to give birth to a child for him, Wang Yaotang sent a team of nine people over there to run around for activities all day long. Security work was very important.

The door of the room opened and Wang Yaotang stepped in. Guan Weiping, He Lili and two personal assistants were all there, trying to coax Deng Lijun, who looked unhappy.

"Ayao." As soon as Deng Lijun saw Wang Yaotang, she immediately rushed over happily.

Wang Yaotang hugged her and spun her around in the air twice, and finally ended with a princess hug. He sat down on the sofa and asked the beauty in his arms with a smile, "What's wrong? You looked unhappy just now."

"You ask them!" Deng Lijun snorted and snuggled into Wang Yaotang's arms like a little girl.

Seeing Wang Yaotang looking over, Guan Weiping's heart started beating fast, and he forced a smile, "Brother Yao, it's a problem with the concert."

Wang Yaotang didn't say anything, just watched quietly. Guan Weiping became even more nervous. "There are a total of three concerts this time. Jun knew you were coming and wanted to go out with you. He wanted to cancel it, but the tickets have already been sold, and the venue and the entire team have been arranged. How can we cancel it?"

"Will going out to play delay the concert?" Wang Yaotang said softly.

"With three concerts in six days and a thank-you banquet, there's definitely no time to go out and play." Teresa Tang complained with a pout.

"Three shows in six days?" Wang Yaotang frowned and looked Gao Weiping up and down. "Have you arranged all of Lijun's schedules this year?"

"Li Jun is the most popular singer in Asia, and her schedule was arranged almost half a year in advance."

"Show it to me."

He Lili quickly lowered her head, took it out from her briefcase and handed it over.

After a quick glance, Wang Yaotang looked back at the first page, calculated in his mind, and his eyes suddenly became unfriendly, "You get out!"

The two assistants immediately stood up and left. He Lili also wanted to leave, but Wang Yaotang glared at her and she sat down again.

Wang Yaotang held Deng Lijun in one hand and hooked his finger at Gao Weiping, who leaned over nervously.

"Pa", "Pa", "Pa", "Pa" Wang Yaotang hit Gao Weiping on the head with the documents.

Gao Weiping subconsciously raised his hand to block, but Wang Yaotang kicked him in the stomach. He curled up on the ground in pain, his face purple, and held his stomach but couldn't scream.

"Ah!" He Lili screamed.

"Ayao, stop hitting me." Deng Lijun was also frightened and hugged Wang Yaotang. She thought Wang Yaotang would be angry, but she thought he would just curse at people. She never thought that Wang Yaotang would directly attack Gao Weiping. Looking at Gao Weiping's appearance, he seemed to be dying.

"You dare to block me when I hit you. I dare not even think about what you will do in the future!" Wang Yaotang said coldly.

He Lili looked at Wang Yaotang in shock, Deng Lijun forgot to plead for mercy, and even Gao Weiping, who had his eyes closed and his face twisted in pain, opened his eyes with a look of disbelief.

"Why, there's a problem."

Gao Weiping shook his head. He knew very well that this was an excuse to deal with him.

He hooked his finger at He Lili again.

He Lili looked at Deng Lijun with a pale face and a pleading expression.

"Ayao, forget it, don't be like this." Deng Lijun pleaded quickly.

"Lijun, you are so soft-hearted to outsiders. How can you help your children fight for the family property in the future? You had no one to rely on before. You were exploited by your family since you were 6 years old. You shouldered the burden of the family and had your life arranged. Then you were controlled by the company and the agent. As a result, you have no opinion of your own and your personality is soft."

"But it's different now. I am your biggest supporter. Singers and the like are just stepping stones. You have to learn how to manage a company in the future."

Deng Lijun's eyes turned red after hearing these words, and she hugged Wang Yaotang tightly with both hands.

"Today I will teach you the first lesson, to know the priorities." Wang Yaotang said in a deep voice: "You are popular because you have a natural good voice and natural beauty. This is a gift from God. Even if you change your agent or company, you will still be popular."

"Your agent and company depend on you for their livelihood. You should be the one who makes the decisions, instead of being manipulated and operating according to the will of your agent and company."

"If priorities are reversed, then we have to clean it up!"

"But, but, but they are doing this for my own good." Deng Lijun said in a low voice.

"The second lesson is to recognize the nature of capital and pursue profits." Wang Yaotang patted Deng Lijun's butt. "The purpose of capital is to grab the maximum profit. The so-called doing it for your own good is to make more money. When your personal interests conflict with the interests of the company, capital must consider the interests of the company."

“This is not something that can be changed by personal will.”

"Even if Gao Weiping thinks you work too much and it's harmful to your health, the company won't agree, your partners won't agree, and the rest of the agent team won't agree."

“So, you must analyze clearly which ones are truly good for yourself and which ones are good for the company.”

“Oh.” Deng Lijun blinked her eyes. She was actually quite smart, but her parents arranged for her to drop out of school at the age of 12. Since then, she has been controlled by the company and her agent and has no chance to learn these things.

Glancing at He Lili, who was crying silently and pitifully, and then at Gao Weiping, who was lying on the ground in agony, Deng Lijun pleaded with some reluctance, "Otherwise, let's just forget it this time."

"I'll teach you the third lesson: keep your public and private affairs separate." Wang Yaotang said with a smile, "If you want to do things well, you must clearly distinguish between 'public' and 'private', and separate work and life. For example, if you ask your brother to help manage the company, but your brother abuses his power to embezzle or engages in other money-for-power transactions, according to regulations, he must be dealt with, but what if he talks about your brother in private?"

The three of them looked at Wang Yaotang.

"Kill!" Wang Yaotang's tone was full of cruelty and ruthlessness.

"Do you think I'm heartless? No, your partiality will only make him worse, and in the end there will be no mercy at all. It's better to deal with him severely so that he doesn't dare to do it, or to fire him directly and recruit someone from other places. This is the wise way to deal with it."

“Remember, rules are order, breaking rules is breaking order. Unless you are sure to re-establish a better order for yourself, don’t break it.”

"How much personal affection do you have? Is it enough to fire your brother and then compensate him privately with 100 million?"

"Do you know how much you will lose if you break the rules?"

"Come here." Wang Yaotang looked at He Lili.

Deng Lijun hugged Wang Yaotang and buried her head in his chest, pretending that she couldn't see anything.

He Lili wanted to run but didn't dare to, because Wang Yaotang's men were all outside. She wanted to cry but was glared back at. She leaned forward with a grin, but Wang Yaotang kicked her to the ground.

"Just a small warning. Lijun, you are soft-hearted. I won't. If you don't know whose food you are eating next time, I will send you to the sea to feed the fish."

“I understand!”

The two of them hurriedly got up and nodded.

"Only one-third of all the concerts that follow will be left. Lijun will not attend any cocktail parties or dinners. If anyone has a problem with this, I will go and have dinner with him!"

"Okay, Brother Yao." Gao Weiping nodded quickly.

"Don't schedule any concerts in the next three days. Is that a problem?"

"No problem." Gao Weiping nodded quickly.

Wang Yaotang waved his hand, and the two men were pardoned.

Lying in Wang Yaotang's arms, looking at the two people's backs, Deng Lijun seemed to be thinking about something.

This is not what the four of them said to me before. They acted as if not going would be sorry to the fans, sorry to the organizers, sorry to the venue, sorry to the company...it seemed like they had no choice.

Now there is no difficulty at all.

So, whose problem is it?
I don't understand.

There was a knock on the door, and the security guard pushed it open. "Brother Yao, this is the newspaper Sister Bi sent."

"Oh, bring it here." Wang Yaotang took it, "Lijun, bring me paper and pen."

Watching Wang Yaotang flipping through the newspaper and writing something on it, Deng Lijun asked curiously, "The ship is missing? Pirates?"

"Do you know how many ships are robbed by pirates every year in the waters near the market?"

Deng Lijun shook her head.

"I do not know either."

"Hateful." Deng Lijun patted Wang Yaotang coquettishly.

"But I know the losses are as high as $40 billion a year!"

"so much?"

Wang Yaotang pointed to what he had just recorded. "From what I've seen in the newspapers, most of the robbed ships are small and medium-sized cargo ships under 5000 tons, and % of them are oil tankers. After all, no one can prove whether the fuel they burn is black or white. Many fishing boats and cargo ships like to refuel at sea because it's very cheap!"

"Look at this Hong Kong freighter. The daily necessities are easy to sell and the pirate village can use them for themselves. This Japanese freighter is carrying aluminum ingots. These cases show that electronic products, luxury goods, precious metals and daily necessities are the first targets of pirates."

“There was also this case where they repainted a cargo ship and falsified paperwork to convert it into a fishing boat.”

"The ship was quite large, and the pirates dismantled the equipment on board and sold it. In the end, the police only found an empty shell."

“Here, there are suspicions of collusion with terrorist organizations such as the Abu Sayyaf Group and the Jemaah Islamiyah.”

"I asked some captains before, and the information I see now is similar to what they said."

"What are you looking for these for?" Deng Lijun asked with a frown.

"Being a pirate, no, it's the escort business!" Wang Yaotang said with a smile, "For a person, simply having money is like walking on one leg. You are a cripple and are destined to be bullied. So you need to add the leg of 'politics' to walk on two legs to be stable. Finally, you need a pair of fists that can be swung out at any time, so that you can protect yourself well."

"What I'm doing now is fists!"

"Otherwise, when I die, my children may not be able to protect the family property!"

Hearing about the "child" and "property", Deng Lijun's expression suddenly became serious.
