Chapter 398 Negotiation (2)
Updated: 2012-08-22
Because of this, for Duke, who spoke ruthlessly before, he wanted to offer a reward to kill their pirates, he didn't know whether other pirates listened to it. Perhaps for those pirates who were alone and had no worries, this was simply a nonsense.
But Kamael is a professional with family and industry. He just provides financial services for pirates to launder black money. For him, this is just a special professional job. He does not participate in pirates robbing people and sets fires on weekdays. Instead, he handles pirates robbing money and property on the shore. Except for some shameful things, there is not much difference between the same financial white-collar workers.
So Kamale, a young white-collar worker, has a natural awe for a big boss like Duke. Moreover, since he often shows up in public, his background is relatively easy to be found, and he feels much deeper about Duke's threat.
Kamale carefully followed the tasks given to him by the boss. First, confirm Duke's identity, second, get the ransom in his mind through negotiations, and confirm that the ransom is received. As for anything else, Kamale can ignore it. As long as the boss's task is completed properly, it is fine.
"Hello, I think you must be Dr. Duke. Sorry, I need to confirm your identity." With this understanding, Kamael said to Duke with some restraint. Although Kamael had already known Duke from the photo, in order to confirm the identity of the person in front of him, he still took out a recent photo of Duke from his pocket and actually compared it.
Of course, exactly the same as myself. The photos of Duke caught from the news were very clear. Compared with the two, Kamael quickly confirmed that this was Duke himself.
"Okay, Mr. Duke, if you have no other requirements, I think we can start the negotiations. Before the negotiations begin, I think Mr. Duke must be very concerned about Mr. Dong Feng's current situation. We might as well take a look first and then talk." Carmele understood Duke's psychology and turned to the point. Everyone was hostile to each other and did not need any false greetings.
After Kamaler finished speaking, he quickly turned on his laptop and connected something that looked like satellite communication. He quickly called out a chat software. After logging in with a few characters, he quickly typed a few characters and immediately showed a video on the laptop.
Duke soon saw excitedly from the screen video that in a room with almost no furniture, Dong Feng sat on a chair with his hands tied back, his eyes were covered with his eyes, and he sat there blankly with his head hanging down, looking a little embarrassed, which shows that this period of time was a very difficult time for Dong Feng.
Fortunately, Duke protested from the video and saw that Dong Feng was still intact and should not have suffered much violence. Duke breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
"I want to say a few words directly to Mr. Dong Feng." Duke said to Carmele, "Otherwise I can't confirm whether Mr. Dong Feng is still safe."
Sometimes videos can be faked. Duke himself has at least several ways to make video chats fake as real. So if you just see the video alone, Duke cannot confirm Dong Feng's current situation.
However, if Duke directly communicates with Dong Feng directly, it will be difficult for the kidnappers to fake it from this aspect. Even if Dong Feng's voice changes after it passes through the Internet, Duke can still confirm it through some unique life details with Dong Feng.
"Please, the network is now directly connected. You can call Mr. Dong at any time. There is a loudspeaker and microphone on your laptop." Kamaler said very simply, obviously he had expected Duke's request.
This is also human nature. Just like Carmele wants to confirm Duke's identity, it will eventually rely on photo comparison. It is understandable that Duke needs to fully confirm Dong Feng's safety. After all, in the following negotiations, this is related to an extremely large transaction.
If Duke was not 100% sure about Dong Feng's current situation, it would be difficult for Kamael to take out the huge ransom from this super rich man.
In Kamaler's eyes, this is also a business. Letting the opponent first see the goods is more conducive to improving their bargaining chips.
"Crazy, is it you?" Duke suppressed his excitement and said to the microphone of the laptop. Soon, he saw Dong Feng's expression change in the video, and his head immediately stood up. He obviously heard Duke's voice, and he looked in disbelief on his face, and replied excitedly: "Duke! It's me. I'm here." After saying that, Dong Feng kept turning his head, obviously looking for the source of the sound. He thought Duke had come to him.
"Crazy, stop looking for it. We are now talking on a remote video call. Do you still remember our dormitory room number?" Although he is 99:99% sure that this person is Dong Feng himself, Duke still wants to confirm it at the last time. If it is Dong Feng himself, then he will never forget the dormitory he lived with.
"Room 405, Duke, how long has it been since I was kidnapped?" Dong Feng on the other side of the video heard the video call and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he still answered Duke's question quickly and then asked. Since he was locked up there after being kidnapped, except for the bread and water he gave him, Dong Feng has been wearing a blindfold. Now he doesn't even know how much time has passed.
"It's about 20 hours, madman, don't worry, we will save you as soon as possible." Duke replied.
After saying that, Duke turned off the video, turned his head and said to Kamaler, "Tell me, how much ransom do you want?"
"Okay, Mr. Duke, you have seen it now. Mr. Dong Feng is fine now and has not been hurt at all." Kamaler heard Duke say this, and did not speak nonsense and directly made his own request. "Then the next thing is very simple. Mr. Duke only needs to donate 200 million US dollars to a foundation account we designated, and then we will hold a simple donation ceremony and it will be OK.
We bring all the things needed for the donation ceremony on the assault boat, which will not take much effort. We will probably arrange them while the donation is due to the time we get the donation. Then we will have a happy photo together and take some photos of the donation ceremony, Mr. Dong Feng will be safe."
So that's the case. No wonder these kidnappers insist on Duke himself coming. It turns out that they want to play a trick of fake donation and real blackmail. If a kidnapping and extortion case is made a gift, it will be much easier for the pirates to whitewash the money. It seems that behind this group of pirates there are still cultural people planning and they have come up with this method.
