NOVEL NEXT Chapter 424 We are pirates, you want me to put down my butcher knife and become a guard?
"What are you talking about? Not only do you not let us rob, but you also ask us to protect others from being robbed?"
As the leader of Somali pirates, Bazaka really couldn't understand Su Qin's unbridled ideas.
If the land economy develops well, they can indeed put down their piracy business and lead the people to live in peace and contentment.
But he would not have the idea of letting them serve as bodyguards for others now, nor would he in the future.
But what Su Qin told him was a completely different concept.
"You have become notorious all over the world for your previous pirate behavior, and no one wants to believe you."
"Even if you destroyed a medical city on the high seas this time and saved hundreds of innocent people, it is still not enough to change your international reputation."
"So you want us to change our profession to protect others?" Bazaka looked at Su Qin in disbelief.
"Mr. Allah, I have always recognized your leadership of us, but this plan is really unbelievable. I don't think my people will agree."
Not to mention him, even Liang Zhong, Zhang Yi and others felt incredible at this idea.
It takes a lot of imagination to think of a way for pirates to put down their butcher knives and become a maritime guard.
If such a strategy were put on the Internet, it would definitely be criticized by netizens.
Su Qin was not eager to refute his statement, but gave him a bigger temptation.
"What if after your transformation, you can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars every time you go overseas?"
"If after you change from pirates to escorts, the monthly income of the crew is even higher than the salary of ordinary people in Yingjiang, will you still refuse?"
goo-dong-
Bazaka swallowed hard.
"Mr. Allah, are you telling the truth? Can the income of our people really be higher than that of Eagle Sauce?"
Although pirates like them work hard at sea every day, their actual income is pitifully low.
Not to mention that it is comparable to the salary of Yingjiang people, it is not comparable to that of medium-sized countries.
But Su Qin now told him that they could actually compare their salary income with the most powerful country in the world. You can imagine how crazy and incredible this is.
But at this time, Su Qin used his "magic stick character" again.
"There is an old saying in China that princes, generals, and generals should rather have their own species. It means that there is no natural distinction between high and low in the world, and it is impossible for us to remain inferior to others all our lives and never be able to catch up with Yingjiang."
"Since God sent me to save you, of course he wants to change your poverty, change your destiny, and give you the right to have an equal dialogue with the whole world."
"As a leader, Bazaka, you must understand one thing before them, that is, Yingjiang is not unattainable. You can reach their living standards as long as you work hard."
"The plundering of the hospital ship on the high seas is an opportunity for you to prove yourself. As long as you continue along this path, you will definitely be able to have your own voice in this world."
On an equal footing with Eagle Sauce?
Have your own voice in the world?
Aren't these the things that Bazaka has been working hard for but can't get.
If they could change the status quo according to Su Qin's method and achieve success step by step, then he would have no regrets even if he died in battle tomorrow.
"Mr. Allah, can you tell me how to do it?"
Su Qin, Liang Zhong and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard and saw his eagerness for knowledge.
It seems that no one in this world can refuse the temptation of having an independent personality, even pirates, they hope to live a better life for themselves.
Su Qin did not hide it, but expressed their thoughts one by one.
"The first step requires you to make an international declaration stating that from today onwards you will give up the profession of piracy and officially transform into a maritime guard to escort coastal ships safely through this sea area."
He asked someone to bring a map and pointed them out one by one for Bazaka to see clearly.
"Ships departing from Europe to Asia must pass through the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Somali waters, and the Straits of Malacca. These places are infested with various pirate clusters. Merchant ships transiting here often experience several rounds of robberies, and even lose several dollars. One hundred thousand dollars, more than that and the whole army will be wiped out.”
"If you can send escorts to escort these merchant ships through smoothly, but only charge them US$100,000 or US$200,000 each time, I believe they will be happy."
"In this way, the merchant ships are safe, and you also earn high commissions. This is the best of both worlds."
When Su Qin drew the shipping route on the map with red lines, Bazaka's eyes began to light up.
If they manage and escort such a large sea area and such a long route, how much money will they earn?
But he is the leader of the Somali pirates after all, and he is not the kind of innocent, silly, and sweet person who can be fooled by just a few words.
"As Mr. Allah said, these sea areas are where pirates are rampant, and their weapons and equipment are not simple. If we only send small boats, it may be difficult to complete the escort goal."
"Once we invade their territory, we will become their enemies, and it will probably become harder and harder to get along in the future."
Hearing his worries, Su Qin gently patted his shoulder and gave him a simpler message.
"We have captured a large amount of weapons and equipment on land in the past few days. Do you think that after bringing all the heavy firepower on board, how many pirate forces can compare with us?"
"With the funds recovered from the robbery a while ago, we can definitely put it together to buy a few large ships, and then convert them into a fire escort ship. By then, any pirates who come will be scared to death."
"Bazaka, you already have enough courage as a pirate leader, but when you become the commander of the Coast Guard, you will be more ferocious and courageous than you are now, so that you can intimidate all your peers."
"Of course, the first business after the transformation will definitely not be easy to gain trust. But it doesn't matter. As long as you successfully deliver the merchant ship to a safe sea and then withdraw after collecting the money, your reputation will naturally spread in the global community. "
"As the saying goes, if there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three. After your reputation spreads, other merchant ships will be willing to accept your protection. You can exchange for the safety of an entire ship with one or two hundred thousand dollars. I think No captain would say no."
"Think about how many merchant ships pass through these waters every day, and how many orders can you receive every year? Each time is one or two hundred thousand dollars. Are you still worried that your people are not rich? Are you still worried about your country? Isn’t it powerful?”
