"Are you pretending to be a ghost? This is also quite fun. I have been catching ghosts for a lifetime, and finally I can feel the feeling of being a ghost. (Baidu Search Literature Museum)" Li Dadan said with a dry smile.

"You boy, you are so scared!" Chen Yilang smiled.

"Of course, why don't you dare to call Li Dadan?" Li Dadan grinned.

"Okay, let me tell you the truth! This time you need to install a pirate, arrange more than 30 people for you, and allocate two armed patrol boats, which are full of heavy weapons, such as machine guns and heavy machine guns. If you take people to disguise yourself as pirates, you will start to harass merchant ships in the waters of Somalia and Seychelles these days, but you have to remember that we are just harassing, not really robbing them, just scaring those merchant ships, do you understand?" Chen Yi said seriously.

"I understand. Mr. Chen means to scare those merchant ships and let them know that pirates in this area are rampant, so they have to ask our Tianyi Island to dispatch ships to escort, and they must also give us a protection fee. Mr. Chen is such a clever plan!" Li Dadao said excitedly.

"Haha, you kid are smart! He is brave and resourceful, so I don't need to teach you what to do, right?" Chen Yi stared at Li Dadan and said with a smile.

"I understand, I will take people out tomorrow." Li Dabingly said.

"There is a masterless island called Ivory Island 200 nautical miles away from our Tianyi Island. You can use Ivory Island as your base! It was originally the pirate's nest. It was breached by us two years ago. You can take people back and build it well. You are a fake pirate organization under the banner of the Blue Coast Guard. As long as the flag of the Blue Coast is launched, it will surely scare the passing merchant ships to urinate." Chen Yi smiled.

"Well, I understand, Mr. Chen, just take a look!" Li Dadao quickly left Chen Yi's office with excitement.

************

A few days later, major media in the world, especially some media in East Africa, focused on the vast sea area near Somalia and Seychelles in the Western Indian Ocean, because in just a few days, pirate activities here suddenly became frequent.

The pirates seemed to have upgraded their weapons and equipment, drove new patrol boats, and kept firing at passing merchant ships. The vast Indian Ocean sea suddenly became rumbling.

Many merchant ships who were traveling around did not dare to take this path and took detours, but the pirates' ability to move seemed to have become stronger. Unless they were about to circumvent the distance of nearly a thousand nautical miles, they could completely avoid the harassment of this group of pirates.

However, the cost will undoubtedly surge in such a long way, which has caused great trouble to merchants on various countries along the Western Indian Ocean coast and some island countries. Everyone complained.

As a result, presidents of many countries came to Seychelles President Frans, demanding that the Seychelles Coast Guard be given again military assistance, and even demanded that the Seychelles dispatch ships to escort.

Frans immediately paid Chen Yi's paid escort plan to the presidents of these countries. Each escort fee was not fixed, but accounted for 3-5% of the value of goods transported by merchant ships, which was equivalent to taking a part of the commission.

Although this behavior is also a disguised protection fee. It is at least more cost-effective than being hijacked by pirates and extorted by high ransom, so an agreement was quickly reached, which is called the "Escort Agreement in the West Indian Ocean Seas". Joining this agreement must be based on states.

The first to join this agreement was Madagascar, an island country close to Seychelles.

Madagascar's transitional government president Rajona contacted Franz and asked to join the agreement.

Chen Yi carefully checked the overview of Madagascar and found that this is a relatively poor country with weak military strength, especially the navy. The country has only 500 naval personnel, including a marine company. It is equipped with a patrol boat and an amphibious ship. With this strength, it is not as strong as the pirates near Somalia. No wonder it has always been powerless to attack pirates.

Although the country is a little poor, at least that agreement has been responded.

Chen Yi called Frans and asked him to promote our escort plan to those rich countries along the Western Indian Ocean coast more, so that he could generate more income.

Soon, Mauritius joined the agreement.

Chen Yi knew that Mauritius was a tourist paradise and that the human development index among African countries was high, which shows that this country was relatively developed, especially with strong financial resources.

A few days later, the Republic of Comoros also joined in. These three countries had to escort more than a dozen merchant ships every day. Chen Yi sent submarines to participate in escort every time, and large amounts of "protection fees" continued to flow into his pocket.

According to the secret agreement signed with Frans, 30% of the money will be handed over to the Seychelles government to make up for the fiscal gap.

After solving the problem of Tianyi Island, Chen Yi immediately returned to China and prepared to participate in the Tengyi Group Electronic Manufacturing Base project, which will be laid at the end of the month.

Previously, Tengyi Group had already exaggerated through the media that this newly established electronic manufacturing base would surpass Foxconn and become the largest electronic product manufacturing base in Asia, and its location was located in Xiajiang City, where silicon and aluminum ores are rich.

Currently, Tian Dagang is responsible for the construction of the electronic manufacturing base project.

Now Shen Yi also has his own private plane. If there is no special situation, he will take private planes in China to and from all over the country.

His private aircraft is completely built with reference to the US Air Force One, and some of the technologies are ahead of Air Force One. However, in order to act low-key, his private aircraft is smaller and can only accommodate up to fifty people. It is a small aircraft with hidden weapons and defense systems inside.

In the past, cruise ships could be turned into warships, but now their private planes can also be turned into fighters.

That afternoon, Chen Yi took a private plane to Xiajiang City.

Tian Dagang led the main leaders of Tengyi Real Estate to welcome Chen Yi's arrival.

"Dagang, have the leaders of Xiajiang Municipal Government hired our manufacturing base this time?" Chen Yi returned to Tengyi Group's office building in Xiajiang City and immediately convened the main person in charge here for a meeting.

"We have invited them all, including the new mayor of Xiajiang City, Yang Yanru." Tian Dagang said.

"Yang Yanru? Is she a female mayor?" Chen Yi asked.

"Yes, although he is quite beautiful, Mayor Yang is nicknamed "Iron Lady". After coming to Xiajiang City, he acted decisively and used iron-fisted means to manage traffic and public security issues and achieved certain results. Moreover, this person is selfless and does not enter the country. We have always wanted to get closer to her, but never succeeded." Tian Dagang said.

"Is that true? It doesn't matter, I, Chen Yi, love dealing with women the most!" Chen Yilang smiled.

"Brother, although your relationship with women is pretty good, I bet that you have to be scared when you see Mayor Yang. This woman has a strong aura and feels like a modern version of Wu Zetian!" Tian Dagang said with a dry smile.

"Modern version of Wu Zetian? Is it so evil?" Chen Yi asked with a smile.

"Absolutely, this woman heard that she has roots in Yanjing, and her background is absolutely unfathomable. When she comes to our Xiajiang City, she is gilded. In order to make political achievements, she naturally has to do a great career!" Tian Dagang said.

"It doesn't matter. Even if she is really the modern version of Wu Zetian, I have a way to deal with her. Women are still women after all, and their weaknesses will always be a little more than men." Chen Yi's eyes rolled and he said with a faint smile.

"Dong Chen, it's not that I am more ambitious than others. You must not underestimate Yang Yanru!" Tian Dagang said seriously.

"Then it happens. In the evening, I will meet with a few old relatives from the Xiajiang Municipal Government and learn about Mayor Yang's style of conduct from the side. This is called knowing yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!" Chen Yi said with a faint smile.

"Okay, I'll send an invitation right away!" Tian Dagang said.

"Well, just book a VIP luxury private room at the largest Jinxiu Hotel in Xiajiang City. Let's invite good friends from Xiajiang Municipal Government to dinner here." Chen Yi said seriously.

Tian Dagang nodded and immediately started contacting him.

Jinjiang Hotel is the largest hotel in Xiajiang City, a newly upgraded city, and it is also the only four-star hotel in this city. It is said that the investor is from Hong Kong and has a wealthy and wealthy one. A few years ago, he fell in love with this Fengshui treasure land in Xiajiang City and built such a big hotel.

Now it seems that Hong Kong investors have unique vision. Xiajiang County has been upgraded to Xiajiang City, and its future development prospects are infinitely broad.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Yi came to the VIP luxury private room in Jinxiu Hotel on time. This time he brought Qiu Dahai, deputy director of the Public Relations Department, to dinner. He often accompanied the leaders to have many unique skills and was very lively at the table.

Soon after, all the old "relationship households" of Tengyi Group in Xiajiang City came. The biggest leader here is Guan Shiqiang, the current member of the Standing Committee of the Xiajiang Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, and then Wan Songnian, Director of the General Office of the Municipal Government, and the directors of several key departments in other cities.

The current secretary of the Xiajiang Municipal Party Committee is Xu Guangde, who is the old secretary of Xiajiang City. He is about to retire in two years. Therefore, he basically does not interfere with many things, nor does he join forces with the gangs. He just wants to complete the last two years of term and retire smoothly.

Therefore, in work and behavior, the old secretary Xu Guangde pursued the "balance principle", that is, balanced the interests of all factions in the city, let everyone live in peace, and don't cause trouble, so people call him "balance secretary" behind their backs.

"Chairman Chen, haha, it's rare to see him! I'm lucky to meet you!" Executive Vice Mayor Guan Shiqiang was an old man in the officialdom. When he saw Chen Yi, he immediately smiled because he knew that Chen Yi had a deep background and that he was the big boss of a listed group, not an ordinary person.

Over the years, Guan Shiqiang has received a lot of benefits from Tengyi Group, so the relationship between the two parties is very solid.
