Chapter 143 It’s a pity to miss it
There were a lot of things in the pirate ship's cabin, and the disappearance of more than a dozen boxes of things did not attract much attention. Even if someone noticed it, they would pretend not to see it to avoid causing trouble.
After all, this was on a pirate ship. Once the pirates knew that something was missing, they would be fine, but the person who spread the news would easily become a scapegoat.
As long as no one says it, no one will know.
A few days later, Tang Yuan received a call from the freight company, informing her that her cargo had been hijacked by pirates.
"Damn pirates, this is too much!" Zheng Man knew that Tang Yuan had shipped goods to Country M for sale. When she heard this news from her, she immediately felt indignant for her. "How much money did you lose in this case?"
"There was some loss, but fortunately the freight company did not shirk its responsibility," Tang Yuan said calmly, "According to my contract with the freight company and the insurance company, they will bear part of the loss of the goods this time. Once the compensation is received, our loss will not be too great."
She did not tell Zheng Man in detail how much goods were shipped to Country M by cargo ships. After all, Zheng Man probably knew how much goods were imported here.
The low insurance premium she paid to the insurance company could not cover all the apparent losses of the goods, as they were all calculated based on the price.
"I didn't expect the insurance company to be useful," Zheng Man said with a sigh, "We are still not strong enough. If we were strong enough, those pirates floating on the sea would be... so angry! From ancient times to the present, these pirates have done countless evil things. Fortunately, they only robbed things and the people on the ship were fine."
"Yes, fortunately it was just theft," Tang Yuan said, "Then you go and make some preparations. This batch of goods was hijacked at sea, and I have to hurry to send the next batch of goods to Country M. In order to catch up with the subsequent sales, we still need to find those companies and prepare the goods according to our requirements."
"I understand. Let's do it!"
After Zheng Man left, Tang Yuan went to the freight company to handle some business. In addition to the company's own senior executives and employees, there were also people from the insurance company and the owner of the goods.
Perhaps fearing that they might cause trouble, the shipping company prepared photos and information about the pirate ship that had hijacked the cargo in advance.
Tang Yuan took a look and found that the situation written on it was more than she knew.
This pirate ship is very famous and is known for its strong military power. Therefore, whenever they encounter a cargo ship at sea, they will rob it.
In most cases, when a cargo ship encounters this pirate ship, it will obediently hand over all the cargo to avoid greater losses.
But there are a few cases, for example, if the cargo on the cargo ship is relatively expensive and the pirates are reluctant to take it away, then the people on the pirate ship will also take action. Once this situation occurs, both the people and the ship will be in trouble.
Fortunately, the pirate ship's ships will always need to sell their cargo on the land of major countries, so as long as you can miss them, you won't be in danger.
"Our shipping company is lucky and has some inside information about where the pirate ships will appear. This is just an accident. We will be more careful in the future."
If you know the location of pirate ships in advance, you can avoid them and complete the cargo mission smoothly.
This is what shipping companies did at first.
But since they are a pirate ship, they will definitely not talk to you about morality, nor will they go in a specific direction. They may change direction at any time to steal things.
"What about the loss this time?"
"We are willing to compensate. In addition to the compensation from the insurance company, we will also provide you with additional compensation to make up for your losses as much as possible." The freight company was full of sincerity, and after saying this, it looked eagerly at the faces of all the cargo owners in front of it.
Tang Yuan looked at the other party, then looked at the information on hand: "This time encountering pirates was indeed unexpected. Is everyone okay?"
"It's okay," the other party breathed a sigh of relief, "We're already on our way back."
"That's good," Tang Yuan nodded. "This batch of goods is lost, and I need to send out the next batch as soon as possible, otherwise it will delay my business. Can you give me a discount?"
"Of course, no problem." The other party said quickly, immediately promised to give a 20% discount on this transportation, and quickly went to get the compensation contract.
Tang Yuan was the first to sign the contract and agreed to the other party's compensation.
The other cargo owners looked around and signed the compensation contracts one after another, and the matter finally came to a perfect end.
When leaving the freight company, Tang Yuan was the last one to leave.
The person in charge of the aftermath of the accident was a fat middle-aged man. He was still wiping his sweat after everyone had left. It was not until Tang Yuan was the last person left that he excitedly thanked her: "Ms. Wen, I really want to thank you. If you hadn't agreed first, they might have put forward conditions."
"You're welcome. My friend has a good relationship with the person in charge of your freight connection company in Country M. This is just a small matter. After all, you don't want to encounter pirates," Tang Yuan consoled him. "Just be more careful in the future. The problem with the cargo is not a big deal. If you accidentally encounter pirates who intend to hurt people, it will be dangerous if something happens to you."
"Yes, yes, yes," the other party wiped the sweat from his forehead again, "Fortunately, nothing happened this time. Those damn pirates, just these pirates, who knows how many people died at their hands."
Tang Yuan pursed her lips, and suddenly felt that she had only moved a dozen boxes of their stuff, which was really too cheap for them.
She pointed to the pirate information on the table and said, "Can I take this?"
"Of course, just take it," the other party said immediately, "and our company's compensation and insurance compensation will be transferred to your bank account within ten days. Please check it. If it doesn't arrive after ten days, just come to the company to find me. This is my business card."
Tang Yuan nodded, took the other party's business card, and took a pile of pirate information on the table: "See you later."
"Take care, Miss Wen."
Tang Yuan walked out of the freight company building, got into the truck parked not far from the door, and opened the document in his hand to look at it carefully.
The pirates' detailed information even includes detailed records of lost cargo provided by several shipping companies. Not only in Hong Kong, but any shipping company in the world may encounter these pirates, and the losses, big and small, are worth at least hundreds of millions.
There was also a case where the items on the cargo ship were too valuable and the employees on board were reluctant to give them away, so they disappeared along with the people and the ship. Not all the employees on the ship died. Some of them were sold into black mines, and then they escaped with great difficulty and returned to the freight company, where they revealed the truth of the matter.
It's not that there are no countries that want to deal with these pirates, but they have a lot of powerful guns in their hands, and they are at sea. Unless they use national weapons, it is not certain who will win or lose in a fight.
Hidden deep in the data, there are also some "speculations" that say there is a high probability that there are certain countries behind these pirates, so they can rob at sea with impunity.
Otherwise, where did they get such advanced firearms?
However, this is just speculation. The data currently available shows that almost all countries in the world condemn these pirates. However, the pirates are erratic on the sea, and it is not easy to touch them.
Tang Yuan saw the pictures of the black mine. These were taken by the freight company whose cargo ship was seized and who was trying to rescue their company’s people by uniting with international organizations to save them.
In the photos taken, everyone looked skinny and dirty.
According to reports, the local authorities were reluctant to release the people at first, until they discovered that countless people had died there and faced international pressure, they mobilized the army to shut down the black mine.
From this we can see that those pirates are really lawless.
Tang Yuan closed the document and gritted his teeth in annoyance.
She looked around, drove the car to the warehouse, parked it in the parking lot, then got into the back seat and entered the game space through the "temporary residence".
She had never opened the dozen or so boxes of things she had brought back from the pirate ship, thinking that if the pirates found them, she could put them back in time or put them in a corner of the pirate ship to avoid hurting innocent people.
If I open it and then put it back, I'm afraid it will be discovered.
Now that she was sure that none of the pirates had noticed anything wrong, she opened them one by one with peace of mind.
She knew about the boxes of clothes, so she didn't unpack them. She just put them aside and unpacked the remaining boxes one by one.
From the conversation at the freight company not long ago, it can be seen that most of these cargo owners are transporting items that are not expensive like her. However, the things transported by one of them are a bit expensive. The people from the freight company even talked to the person in charge of this company one by one. In the end, he must have lost a lot of money, and his face looked a bit ugly when he came out.
But the problem was finally solved without any big quarrels. We were able to retain these customers and continue doing business in the future.
Tang Yuan opened a box and saw a box of toys.
I opened another box, it was a box of plastic.
There are shoes and other clothes at the back.
There is also a radio and a clock.
Relatively speaking, radios and watches are both quite valuable, but Hong Kong's manufacturing industry is already well developed, and no matter how valuable these things are, it is not worth dying for them.
She recognized the box containing the radio and clock; it was placed next to her clothes and was probably shipped on the same ship as her. If she could get all of this merchandise into her own hands, she might be able to make some money.
No, you can make a lot of money.
Tang Yuan looked at the box in front of him, his eyes rolled, and he quickly lost his focus and entered the body of the new vest.
The new vest controlled by intelligence is the same as "Tang Yuan". As long as she does not actively control it, it can act according to her own situation without any mistakes.
This vest was on the pirate ship, and Tang Yuan did not dare to act rashly. He stayed hidden most of the time, watching the new vest move around and communicate, and at the same time evaluating the possibility of her being able to safely transfer the batch of electronic products from these pirates.
Seeing that the mainland and Hong Kong were about to open up exchanges, she did not have enough money in her hands. Now that she had come across such a good opportunity, it would be a pity to miss it.
