Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 287: Mountain Eagle's Harvest

"If he doesn't pay, the Diamond Queen won't be able to leave..."

The mountain eagle stood on the beach of Ao Nang, watching the tourists from the cruise ship disembark with a lot of luggage with the help of the locals...

He glanced at Tessa with a smile and said, “The big ship has been parked there for a day, and the hard losses are only one aspect.

If the ship cannot leave, it proves that the cruise company has not handled the aftermath of the accident well. In this case, we don't have to do anything, most tourists will automatically boycott them, making it impossible for them to conduct all their business.

Diamond Cruises has four large cruise ships. If these ships stop for one day, the loss will be astronomical!"

Shanying looked at Tessa, who looked horrified, and said with a smile, "Tessa, don't look at me like that. I'm doing good things...

The better we take care of our tourists here, the less pressure Diamond Cruises will face later.

It looked like he was going to give us $8000 million, but in fact we recovered a huge loss for him.

Unless Faiz admits that the pirate attack was staged by him, the owner of the cruise company, he should thank us in the newspaper! "

Tessa watched the passing island tourists bowing to the mountain eagle. She smiled subconsciously, and then watched a few guys in suits put up a roll-up banner in the courtyard of the volunteer police station, with the AXA Insurance Company sign displayed...

Seeing those people approaching tourists one by one to register their identities like insurance salesmen, Tessa rubbed her eyes vigorously and said in amazement: "How did you convince the people from AXA Insurance?
I thought the insurance company would just find various reasons to refuse the claim or delay the process at this time."

"You think they don't want to?"

Shanying shook his head and laughed, saying, "Eddie has reported the situation to his wife, and after discussion, the senior management of AXA Group finally decided to make a quick claim settlement.

This is called cutting the Gordian knot. The sooner it ends, the less their losses will be.

They had no evidence to prove that the attack was related to Faiz, and even if they could find clues, they could not prove that the cruise company was related to Faiz.

Quick claims settlement can not only reduce losses but also help them establish a good image in the Southeast Asian region.

This is a rare publicity opportunity!

This is a good opportunity for insurance companies to break people's 'bad impression'!
Your mother is urging all Thai media to report on this. Do you know how much an advertisement of this scale is worth?"

Tessa looked at Shanying in astonishment and said incredulously, "Is this how you convince the people at AXA Group to give you the money?"

Shanying, who had accomplished the big thing without spending a penny, smiled and spread his hands and said, "China has a special term for this kind of practice called 'taking advantage of the situation'!
It was such a great opportunity, and I happened to know someone from AXA Group, so why shouldn’t I take advantage of it?

The damage to the ship is 3000 million, and the tourists' compensation is almost 3000 million. If Faiz doesn't pay, we will get the money from AXA Group.

They would surely prefer to give the money to us rather than to Faiz!
I said I would reach a quarter of Krabi’s annual GDP in one go, and I mean what I said! ”

After hearing this, Tessa said with some concern: "You're even going to take away the compensation for those tourists?"

Shanying frowned at Tessa and said, "Who do you think I am?

Why did I take it?

It’s us, Ao Nang, and the whole of Krabi…”

Shanying put his arm around Tessa's shoulders, pointed at the enthusiastic insurance company staff, and said with a smile: "They are registering the tourists' information. As long as the information is collected, the compensation will be paid to these tourists in the form of cash...

In Thailand, of course, you pay in Thai Baht!

These tourists are generally not poor. They always feel embarrassed to eat and stay with us for free, so they have to spend money.

As long as we can keep them, the more than 3000 million US dollars will be converted into Thai baht and invested in Krabi's tourism market.

'Broadcast' is already calling to organize girls from Pattaya, and 'Killer Bee' is wholesale alcohol in large quantities...

All seafood for the fishermen around Krabi for the next half month has been booked..."

Tessa looked at Shanying in disbelief and said, "You really never thought about asking for this money?"

Shanying looked at Tessa who seemed a little unconvinced, he smiled and shook his head, and said: "Tessa, do you think those fishermen and ship owners are willing to go out to sea to participate in the rescue?

Do you think those restaurants and hotels on the shore that provide food and accommodation to tourists are free?

I promised to pay for two days, I have to settle the bill with them!
The remaining money will be used to set up a charity fund. I will set up a company to co-manage it with the Krabi government and the police department, and the use of the money will be decided through a hearing.”

As he spoke, Shanying looked at the stunned Tessa, and said with a smile: "Tessa, although I am a little poor, I never take money that does not belong to me!"

Tessa shook her head and said, "That's not right. You've contributed the most, how can you not ask for anything..."

"Your parents would never let me suffer, right?"

Shanying looked at Tessa, who still had some conscience, and hugged the girl vigorously, but did not explain how he made money...

He certainly cannot interfere with the compensation paid to individual tourists, but he can intercept Faiz's compensation or the 3000 million transferred by AXA Insurance and use it for a period of time.

When Krabi's tourism business was booming, the merchants and ship owners he mobilized were always embarrassed to chase him for debts.

In one month, or even two months, this money could be used to reap huge profits from the turbulent Thai financial market, allowing Shanying to have the capital to integrate Krabi's gas stations in a solid manner.

Once you have a certain say among the smugglers, making money will become the easiest thing!

Moreover, even if the public fund is finally transferred to Thailand or Krabi, Shanying will play a key role in it and firmly grasp the veto power. That is, even if the Krabi government wants to use it, it must hold a hearing and obtain the consent of the majority of people before applying to the fund.

As long as the demands made by Krabi are reasonable, Shanying will definitely not block the use of this money.

The money is not his, but he can decide where to spend it. What's the difference between this and it being his?
In a small place with an annual GDP of only 2.4 million US dollars, tens of millions of dollars spent from Mountain Eagle can buy the respect of most people and enormous power.

Being greedy for money at this time, whether it is 3000 million from AXA or 8000 million from Faiz, is an extremely foolish choice.

On the contrary, if he gives this money out, the entire police force and even the entire Krabi people will remember him!
Shanying took advantage of the cruise ship crisis, used the righteous cause of rescue, and with sufficient rewards, completed the integration of Krabi.

And after this first time, there will definitely be a second time, a third time...

Perhaps large-scale mobilization will no longer be needed in the future, but with each collaboration, the connection between Shanying and Krabi will become deeper.

As long as he can integrate the gas stations according to his plan, he may become the uncrowned king of Krabi one day in the future!

Not only Tessa couldn't understand Shanying's behavior, even his brother Tagore only had a vague understanding of it.

However, Shanying does not need them to understand his thoughts, because this itself is an adventure.

It’s just that he borrowed money and resources from other people and made a big bet, so no matter how bad the situation is in the end, he will not lose, and there will always be something left for him!
But once you win, those borrowed money and resources will bring huge returns!

If he still doesn't dare to gamble, Shanying can just jump into the sea!

As for whether Faiz will get angry and take revenge because of this?
Shanying doesn't care. This is an unavoidable occupational risk, whether being a policeman or a mercenary.

But as long as the money is spent in the open, even if Faiz wants to retaliate, his intensity will not be too strong...

As for the killer, is Shanying afraid of this?

While Shanying was talking, the first batch of tourists had already landed one after another...

The local merchants showed all their enthusiasm. Those selling clothes pushed mobile clothes racks and sold free local clothes to the frightened tourists...

The hotel owners came with tuk-tuks to grab customers, filled a whole car and drove away, sending the tourists to their own hotels to register and settle down, and then informed them that there would be a grand celebration ceremony in Ao Nang Beach in the evening and invited them to participate.

Then they gently confiscated their passports and told them that Krabi's Tourism Police Department would be fully responsible for their travel insurance claims and would help them organize evidence so that they could file a lawsuit against the cruise company.

The Volunteer Tourist Police Office is happy to provide them with legal services if they wish.

Anyone who has encountered problems while traveling knows that after you are safe, all that’s left is to wait and wait for an explanation from the travel agency.

Otherwise, if you leave early without waiting for the cruise company's opinion, you will be at a loss then!

People who travel on a cruise ship usually have plenty of time.

They must have a lot of complaints about the cruise ship, but that has nothing to do with Krabi. As long as they can eat and drink well, it is worth it for them even if it costs some money.

At this moment, the beach in Ao Nang Beach suitable for tourists to visit is not long. There are more than a dozen bonfire stands built along the beach of less than three kilometers, and all tourists will be organized to celebrate as soon as it gets dark.

Not only tourists on the cruise ship, but also tourists stranded in Krabi can participate. All things and services in Ao Nang Beach are free today and tomorrow.

Lee Sung-hee got off a yacht at Ao Nang Beach...

This beautiful woman, who exudes an elite temperament, felt something was wrong from the moment she got off the boat.

A group of enthusiastic Thai guys ran away carrying her and the luggage of those wealthy islanders, and then more than a dozen tuk-tuks took them to a pretty good hotel to stay.

None of these rich guys who could call for a helicopter rescue themselves wanted to stay here any longer, but things did not develop in the direction they wanted.

I wanted to call someone to pick me up, but the hotel guy smiled and told them...

Recently, all gas stations near Krabi are undergoing renovations. Except for local vehicles in Krabi, everyone else who wants to refuel must register at the Tourism Volunteer Police Station, especially vehicles that come to pick up foreign tourists.

In order to ensure that cruise ship tourists are no longer in danger, all vehicles attempting to pick up cruise ship tourists will be investigated by the local police in Krabi.

Lee Sung-hee refused the hotel guy's request to collect her passport. She made a phone call to book a flight to leave Krabi. However, when the airport heard her passport and name, they informed her with regret that all flights were full.

The airport customer service said in a comforting tone: "We are sorry that we cannot provide you with service. We hope that Krabi will leave you with a good impression in the next 15 days."

Li Chengji, who was used to big scenes, was so angry that he laughed. He instinctively thought that this was Yue Shan's doing.

Seeing the enthusiastic and determined eyes of the Thai guy in front of her, Li Chengji rolled her eyes and handed over her passport. Then she took the key, went upstairs to wash up, changed into fresh clothes, and left the hotel, wanting to go around...

As soon as she walked out of the hotel, she saw a row of tuk-tuks waiting for work, with the drivers holding up "free" signs and waving them enthusiastically...

There are 8 people in a car, so we’ll set off as soon as it’s full!

Li Chengji didn't care where she went. She was actually curious about what this thing was.

They were squeezed into a car with a group of European and American tourists who were obviously here to join in the fun and get some free money. Soon they were sent to Ao Nang Beach...

A "mountain" built with beer barrels stands proudly at the junction of the beach and the pedestrian street. A huge sign is hung on the "mountain" that says "free"!
The bonfire in the distance had been lit, and a large number of European and American tourists burst out with great enthusiasm, walking around the beach holding free beer, easily boosting the emotions of those island tourists.
