#306 - Chapter 306: Thunderous means, 10 billion euros! Redemption? No! It's murder!
“No… You can't do this!”
The old butler was very loyal, standing in front of Mars: “We come from the Wallenberg family, one of Europe's strongest invisible families!”
“I offer my sincerest apologies for accidentally entering your airspace.”
“You can name your conditions. The Wallenberg family values integrity and will definitely give everyone…”
Bang!
The gun went off.
The old butler didn't finish his words.
His eyes widened, and he quietly lay on the ground.
At his brow, blood gushed out!
“Too much talk!”
An officer grinned, pointing his gun at Mars, speaking broken English: “Your family, is it very strong? Is it especially rich?”
“…”
Mars was scared out of his wits.
The family was indeed very strong.
In Europe, the Wallenberg family could completely raise a mercenary army.
But!
This, this isn't Europe!
These barbarians in front of him didn't reason with him at all. The old butler who watched him grow up didn't even finish his sentence… and he was gone!
“I have money… Our family is very rich!”
Mars's bladder tightened, and he pleaded tremblingly: “Don't kill me! I beg you… I'll agree to any conditions!”
“Smart.”
The officer tapped his forehead with the muzzle of his pistol.
He turned and left, leaving a sentence: “If he doesn't cooperate and help us get money, cut off his hands and feet!”
“Then chop him up and send him to Europe, to that… what family was it again?”
“Boss! It's the Wallenberg family!”
“Shut up! You think I don't understand?!”
The officer cursed and walked away.
Mars was scared shitless.
During the final conversation, the other party spoke in Chinese. They thought he didn't understand, but he had studied Chinese.
Of course.
He was fooled.
The officer already knew that he could understand Chinese; it was deliberate!
At first.
He once suspected that with such advanced equipment, could they be Chinese soldiers?
Now he directly denied it.
Chinese soldiers were disciplined and would not kill ordinary people casually, let alone… be so greedy, extracting wealth from him.
How can I survive?
Money!
Give the other party satisfactory money!
Otherwise, don't even think about leaving here alive, let alone leaving with a whole body!
…
Europe.
The banquet hall was brightly lit, and people wore high-end formal attire, raising their glasses in cheerful conversation.
Careful observation would reveal that a man in his forties was the sole protagonist of this banquet.
His name was Jacques.
The current head of the Wallenberg family.
Even though everyone in the banquet hall was a top-level dignitary.
But!
They still treated him with utmost respect.
After all, wealthy families were also divided into different levels, and he belonged to the highest level!
Just then.
Jacques noticed that his assistant was signaling from afar, seemingly very anxious.
“Excuse me, I'll be right back.”
He immediately left the banquet hall.
A few minutes later.
He arrived at a private office.
“Young Master… has been captured in Myanmar!” The assistant's expression was flustered.
“What?!”
Jacques took a long time to recover: “What exactly is going on? Wasn't Mars in China? How could he… appear in Myanmar?!”
“The specific situation is unclear.”
The assistant looked helpless: “All we know is that his private jet made an emergency landing in Myanmar and fell into the hands of border warlord forces. Just now, they called and demanded that we… pay a 10 billion euro ransom!”
“How much?!” Jacques thought he had misheard.
10 billion euros?
Okay!
With the Wallenberg family's financial resources, it wouldn't be difficult to take out 10 billion euros, but the problem is…
Spend 10 billion euros to redeem a person?
Are the damn warlords crazy?!
But…
Mars was his only bloodline.
Last year, he took over the Wallenberg family from his father.
He had a cousin who still had a lot of supporters, which already made him very worried.
If his son died…
Losing his only heir, his cousin would be even more justified in vying with him for the position of head of the family!
Did you really think that only China valued men over women?
No!
Many countries were like this.
The larger the family, the larger the consortium, the more they cared about male heirs.
“How do they guarantee that after I pay the ransom, they will definitely release Mars?” Jacques gritted his teeth.
“They didn't say.”
The assistant lowered his voice: “They claim that they will call again in five minutes…”
At this moment.
The landline on the desk rang.
“Jacques?” The other party's English was not fluent.
“This is me!”
Jacques nodded, gritting his teeth: “I need a guarantee that after I pay the ransom, how can I ensure that you… will release Mars?”
“You're negotiating with me?”
“No! I need a guarantee…”
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking.
An ear-piercing gunshot came from the receiver, followed by a scream.
“Or I can chop him up and mail him to you? That way, there's no need for a ransom.”
“Father…”
A familiar voice came from the phone.
It was a miserable scream.
It was his son!
“I'll pay!” Jacques roared sharply.
…
Weekend.
My wife came home.
Chen Hao continued to work at the Shanghai-China Shipbuilding Factory.
The complete technical data of the Varyag was more than all the projects of the Genesis Era's third round of research combined.
It had to be streamlined!
The high-precision machine tool was successfully developed.
All kinds of materials were available.
That's right!
The new materials were actually readily available. The existence of Handing Materials Company was not to develop new materials, but to find ways to reduce the cost of the materials given by Chen Hao and then mass-produce them.
Without considering the cost, they could be taken out at any time!
In addition.
Powerful chips and even 3D printing technology were also coming soon.
With the support of this series of achievements, many technologies of the aircraft carrier could be simplified.
Simplify first.
Then modify it on the basis of simplification.
The two-step approach could greatly speed up the speed and improve the efficiency.
But even so…
It would take more than a month to work.
During this period, scientists in charge of various fields would ask him to explore a large number of questions.
At night.
Chen Hao left the shipyard and got into the back of the Benz: “Dali, let's go.”
As soon as the Benz started, he said again: “Find a mobile phone store.”
Not long after.
The Benz stopped in a sparsely populated location.
Chen Hao got out of the car like a thief, and brought sunglasses and a mask.
As soon as he got out of the car, the satellite phone rang.
“General!”
On the other end of the phone, the voice was respectful, but it was difficult to hide the excitement: “10 billion euros have been credited!”
Worthy of being a top-level consortium, just to redeem a person…
10 billion euros!
This was also related to Mars's status.
If it was replaced by an ordinary collateral relative, let alone 10 billion euros, even if the ransom was reduced by 90%, they might be allowed to be torn apart.
“Pry open his mouth and take out all the secrets!” Chen Hao ordered in a low voice.
At this moment.
He was almost to the mobile phone store.
“Yes! Then… what after it's completed?” the other party asked respectfully.
“Didn't I say? Send it to Europe.”
A hint of coldness flashed in Chen Hao's eyes.
Honest and trustworthy?
Fulfilling promises?
That depends on who you're dealing with!
Stealing Genesis Era technology was definitely not Mars's idea, but a training arranged for him by the Wallenberg family's senior management.
You want to steal my things, and I'm going to reason with you?
Dream on!
In addition, he had other purposes.
