small business

Chapter 25
When Ms. Han called Fei Yiban again, she was already crying.

There has always been a tacit understanding between her and Director Fei, that they must report safety when they get off the plane.

It doesn't matter when you usually call, or if you don't call when you have nothing to do.

Fei Yiban finally couldn't sit still anymore.

If Fei Guochen and Lin Zumin had caught up with the plane, there would be no possibility that they would not come out by now.

If the two of them hadn't caught the plane, it wouldn't have been possible to stay out of the machine for so long.

Even if two people lose their mobile phones, they can still find a place at the airport where they can make international long distance calls.

Even if the luggage, wallet and mobile phone are all gone, it will definitely not be difficult to find someone to borrow a mobile phone to report that they are safe.

What's the situation now?
"Ms. Han, don't worry, you can ask the people at the airport to check whether Dad and Lin Gong are on the entry list." Fei Yiban comforted his mother.

"How do I check this?" Ms. Han asked.

"Ask the ground staff at the international exit to see if there is any way to check, and then ask Brother Congyi to ask the airline's ground staff." Fei Yi's train of thought had a rare clarity.

In this situation, it is absolutely necessary to do both.

Ms. Han and Lin Congyi are responsible for domestic arrivals, and he is responsible for overseas departures.

From Istanbul to Doha, and then back from Doha, Fiji booked flights with the top mainline airlines.

This time I came back not in a hurry, in order to let the factory manager Fei and Mr. Lin, who only take the economy class, enjoy the world's top air service.

Fei Yiban, who is a VIP of major airlines, used his points to upgrade the cabins of the two of them.

The return seat becomes a seat that can lie flat and has a massage function.

The ticket was booked by Fei Yiban, who is also the VIP of major airlines.

It is not difficult to find out whether Fei Guochen and Lin Zumin got on the plane.

Soon, Fei Yiban got a negative answer from the airline.

In this way, it becomes meaningless whether Ms. Han and Lin Congyi have found any news.

Those who have not boarded the plane will certainly not be able to get off the plane.

This road was blocked, leaving only the voyage from Mardin to Istanbul.

Because it was a branch flight, there was no one to contact directly on the Fiji-[-] flight, and the airline's phone calls were always in a state of no one answering.

I managed to get through, and there was only one operator who spoke Turkish.

I don't know if the phone call is wrong.

As soon as the news from the two sides was exchanged, Ms. Han immediately collapsed.

She had been restless all day, and now she was paralyzed on the ground.

When Lin Congyi and Meng Tongxin helped Ms. Han into the car.

Fei Yiban's phone has not been hung up.

"Mom, don't worry." Fei Yiban thought of someone while comforting Han Yuxin.

"I'll ask my roommate to check it out." Fei Yiban said.

The roommate Fei Yiban talked about was his classmates in the high school he last attended.

The top boarding school, the dormitory is a two-person room.

Both of them were transferred in.

Later, the roommate went to Oxford, and Fei Yiban went to Oxford Brookes.

After graduation, they stayed in Oxfordshire together and continued to be roommates.

Real roommates in high school.

After graduating from university, it was actually Fei Yi who lived on the first floor of Abu's house.

Together, they have lived together for more than four years, and Fei Yiban has never remembered what Abu's full name is.

It's not that Fei Yiban doesn't pay attention, it's because the names of Middle Easterners are beyond the range of Fei Yiban's memory.

When I was in high school, everyone wore school uniforms, and my daily life was basically in school.

Abu, wearing an unremarkable Swatch watch, looks extremely simple.

Most of the students' watches seem to have at least 20 times the price of Abu watches.

Abu didn't care about that either.

When he went to university, the ordinary Abu transformed into a guide for the life of a group of nobles in Fiji.

Ms. Han and Factory Manager Fei's current net worth was directly received from the family trust when Abu turned 18.

Even the unremarkable Swatch watch that Abu wore when he was in high school had hidden secrets.

As long as you turn the watch over, you can see the imprint specially customized for their family on the back.

It is also a child of a rich family, but there is still a big difference between rich and rich.

Compared with Abu, Fei Yiban is a child of a poor family.

Fei Yiban can come and go to charity auctions frequently, chatting and laughing with top drivers. I have to say that at least half of it is because of Abu.

The five rescue helicopters called by the factory manager of Fiji Group [-] were also handled by Abu with one phone call.

Abu is the kind of strange person who likes to explore and needs a helicopter rescue every now and then.

Fei Yiban likes racing cars. I have to say, there are also reasons for Abu.

Abu's driving skills are not very good, but he is absolutely desperate to drive.

Abu has a collection of three F1 cars.

And often take out the "collection" and "walk the street".

Abu has personally experienced all the Formula [-] circuits in the world, except for city circuits held at night like Singapore.

He is not an F1 driver. Every time he goes to the track, he rents the track and then airlifts himself and the car.

It not only satisfies his adventure gene, but also does not pose a threat to passers-by.

In fact, there are some people in China who rent out the F1 track to play by themselves, but they are not as embarrassing as Abu.

Usually it is organized by someone in the supercar group.

I bought a supercar with a top speed of more than 300 kilometers, no matter if it is in the urban area or on the highway, no matter how hard I drive, it will not go anywhere fast.

If you dare to drive to 180 and then go up, it is a disregard for human life, and you will be arrested and imprisoned.

Those who play supercars, of course, are not all the second-generation ancestors in the news who disregard human lives.

In this way, there is a big contradiction between obeying the law and speeding up the speed.

Therefore, those who organize supercar activities will make a list, find a towing company, and consign the cars of the young masters to the F1 track in Shanghai directly by way of road truck consignment.

After the car enters the track, try your own car and driving skills.

This is much better than illegal racing on the road.

Abu quickly confirmed that Fei Guochen and Lin Zumin did not board the flight from Mardin to Istanbul.

By the time we got the exact news, the trio had already returned to the factory.

Ms. Han was a little calmer than when she was at the airport.

One day passed, and there was no news from Director Fei and Mr. Lin.

Han Yuxin called over and over again.

It doesn't matter what the startup reminder business is.

Hundreds of calls, none of them answered.

It is almost certain that Fei Guochen and Lin Zumin disappeared on the way to Mardin Airport.

If there is an accident such as a car accident, the mobile phone should still be able to get through.

Wouldn't someone snatch the phone under that situation?
What happened?
"Brother Congyi, do you know any workers or managers in Turkey?" Fei Yiban asked, "Can you call them and ask?"

"When I left, those people made a lot of noise and wanted to eat me up." Lin Congyi didn't know who to call for a moment.

Fei Yiban said, "Otherwise, you can try."

"We must try." Lin Congyi worried that those people would not answer his call while calling.

But the call was quickly connected.

Is a manager of the Mardin factory.

The Turkish management who answered the phone said that after the two-month-long aftermath of the factory manager and Mr. Lin, few Turkish workers still had objections.

The Turkish management also said that when Fei Guochen and Lin Zumin left, many workers spontaneously came to deliver them.

Thinking about it, the aftermath not only emptied the Turkish factory and lost more than a dozen containers of equipment, but also brought in [-] million domestically.

How many entrepreneurs dismantled the factory, and could they deal with the aftermath to such an extent?
Fei Guochen is a typical entrepreneur who would rather suffer losses than workers.

This point has nothing to do with whether the factory is located at home or abroad.

Director Fei is such a person of good character.

However, in this way, the disappearance of Fei Guochen and Lin Zumin is even more incomprehensible.

Everyone's heart became heavy.

Fei Yiban is no exception.

Abu continued to help inquire, saying that there was no large-scale car accident or other attacks or natural disasters that could cause people to disappear in Mardin the day before.

Abu comforted him by saying that in this case, no news is the best news.

If they were kidnapped, they would definitely hear from the kidnappers.

Fei Yiban was not comforted by Abu's words.

The missing person is his father.

There was no way he could just sit and wait.

Since the man disappeared in Mardin, he must get there as soon as possible.

Ms. Han also thought the same way.

So, the two went upstairs to pack their luggage.

As a person who has lived in Mardin for a long time, Lin Congyi must go with him.

Class [-] of Fei's room is upstairs from that of Fei Guochen and Han Yuxin.

Before he could enter the room, he heard Han Yuxin screaming downstairs.

Fei Yiban originally came up by the elevator, but when he heard the noise, he immediately ran down the stairs next to him.

The upper half is for running, and the lower half is for jumping, the one-step jumping method.

After entering Han Yuxin and Fei Guochen's room, Fei Yiban saw that the conference call system he had been using all this time was on.

The rooms of Ms. Han and Director Fei have two doors, front and back.

Entering through the front door is the small study of the room, behind the study is the cloakroom, beyond the cloakroom is the bedroom, the bedroom is connected to the bathroom, and the bathroom is connected to the back door of the room.

The last time Ms. Han came down, she went downstairs directly after washing up in the bathroom.

This time I went up to pack my clothes, so I naturally went in through the front door.

So he saw the picture in the video conferencing system.

The camera is on a wall.

There are two pictures on the wall.

On the left is Fei Guochen who was tied up, and on the right is Lin Zumin who was tied up.

A BTC-2000 was hung under Fei Guochen, and a BTC-1000 was hung under Lin Zumin.

Further down, there is an electronic timer with a countdown displayed on it, and there are 48 hours, 02 minutes and 11 seconds left.

Then came a few lines of words that Fei Yiban could not understand.

"One by one," Ms. Han asked in a trembling voice, "Your father and Lin Gong were... kidnapped?"

"It seems...it should be." It was the first time Fei Yiban saw such a scene, and his mind was completely blank.

Lin Congyi came over soon, and he called the Turkish manager again.

The management said that everything in the factory had changed hands, and now it is empty, so there must be no one there.

After the factory was emptied, there were people guarding the outside all the time, and it was impossible for anyone to get in.

"Is the number written below a ransom?" Lin Congyi asked, pointing to the video screen.

"It should be." Fei Yiban tried to adjust his breathing and stared at the screen carefully.

"Who would kidnap someone for 2000 yuan?" Ms. Han asked with red eyes, "Just tell them, why don't you just give it to them? How can there be such a heartless person!"

"Look at the unit." Fei Yiban's mood fell to the bottom.

"It doesn't matter what unit, any kind of currency, one or two thousand is not much, and it's not one or two thousand kilograms of gold." Ms. Han asked anxiously, "Did you say how to give the money? Let's get the money quickly." Give it to them. Your dad and Lin Gong should be okay now, right?"

Ms. Han does not know the abbreviation of all national currencies, but the abbreviation of gold is definitely not BTC.

Fei Yiban quickly made calculations in his mind.

In terms of mental arithmetic ability, he inherited the factory director Fei very well.

"If their ransom demand is BTC, it is really similar to gold." Fei Yiban said, "BTC is the abbreviation of Bitcoin."

"How much is bitcoin?" Ms. Han asked.

"The current price of one bitcoin is around 3000 to [-] U.S. dollars, and [-] bitcoins are more than one billion U.S. dollars." Fei Yiban did a mental calculation, "Converted into RMB, it would cost eight or nine hundred million dollars."

"Where are you going to get so much money?" Ms. Han was in a daze.

"Where are you going to buy bitcoin?" Lin Congyi asked in disbelief.

Fei Yiban helped Ms. Han who almost collapsed on the ground to her feet.

He has always felt that he still has a long time to grow up slowly under the protection of Director Fei and Ms. Han.

At this moment, the words that Fei Guochen said to him when he first arrived in Mardin kept echoing in his mind [one by one, you are already a big man].

No one here has had such an experience.

What BTC stands for is just Fei Yiban's guess. He doesn't play Bitcoin, and he doesn't know anything about Bitcoin except the price.

After forcing himself to calm down, Fei Yiban still called Abu and sent him the contents of the video conference.

Abu's answer destroys the last hope of Fiban.

Abu said that BTC must be the abbreviation of Bitcoin. Only vicious illegal organizations will require Bitcoin settlement, and once the delivery is checked, there is no way to check it.

According to the ransom information on the wall, if the kidnappers did not receive the ransom within 48 hours, they would directly tear up the ticket.

If it is received, it will give a coordinate location, and let the person who paid the ransom save the person himself, regardless of life or death.

It is only guaranteed that they are alive when they put the hostages at the coordinates. Whether the hostages are alive or dead in the end, the ransom will not change in any way.
