Chapter 1589: Race against time (1/2)
The call was connected, but Xia Ruofei heard a loud noise coming from the earpiece of the mobile phone, and the sound of whirring kept sounding.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help frowning secretly, and said that this Yankee is also a billionaire. Why is the mobile phone so bad!
But he didn't bother about it now, and asked directly in English, ”Is it Charlie Koch?”
”Whew ... I ... it's inconvenient ... whew ... answer! Slightly ... later ... whew ... for you ... come back ... whew!”
There were intermittent sounds from the cell phone, mixed with huge wind noise.
Xia Ruofei could barely hear what the other party said, but after the other party spoke, he hung up the phone.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He wanted to try to take shortcuts. I didn't expect that this Yankee is not such a thing. He is his life saver anyway! He turned away and didn't recognize him?
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei didn't talk to Luo Qingfeng and Zhang Chao before calling, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.
Since this Charlie was unreliable, Xia Ruofei also lost the idea of taking shortcuts, and secretly decided that after arriving at Iswatlan, first find a quiet place to receive the arms into the space, and then bring Luo Qingfeng , Find out the situation of the Gulf Group, give their senior management a tip, and solve the problem once and for all.
As a result, Xia Ruofei put away his mobile phone, and then he closed his eyes and recuperated.
...
At this time, near the sea where the yacht sank last night, Charlie Koch was just hoisted to the scene with the first rescue helicopter with the help of rescue workers.
Rescuers were very excited after confirming his identity-this is a billionaire! And after American society had a great influence, after receiving his help message yesterday evening, a large number of rescue forces began to rush to this area. On the one hand, his identity is too prominent, and all parties attach great importance to fear that he will die at sea. On the other hand, everyone knows that who rescued him first will mean a super generous reward. Already.
Now, they can confirm that it is their rescue team that has taken the lead.
Several professional rescue ships set off at the same time last night, but this area is too far away from the United States, so after a night's journey, no rescue ship arrived at the coordinates of the distress signal.
However, the rescue ships are equipped with advanced rescue helicopters, which can greatly expand the search radius.
Although there are signal transmitters sending position coordinates uninterruptedly, this coordinate can only confirm a general range. In the vast sea, it takes some luck to find a small lifeboat as small as the target.
And the luck of this rescue helicopter was obviously good. For their first flight, they actually found Charlie Koch, even they couldn't believe it.
It wasn't until rescue workers descended and took Charlie Koch to the helicopter that everyone finally confirmed that he had indeed rescued Charlie Koch.
The captain of the helicopter immediately sent a message of rescue success to the rescue boat by radio-after all, there are several rescue forces operating at sea at the same time, and at least six or seven helicopters are searching in the nearby waters. Now people have been rescued. Others Rescue forces can naturally return to the sea, and the rescue ship to which this helicopter belongs must go all out to prepare, including the medical staff, psychologists, etc., and some life support facilities must also be prepared in advance.
Charlie's psychology was actually quite calm. To be honest, he didn't have the ecstasy of the rest of his life-because this feeling of ecstasy had appeared last night, and now he has restored peace.
As for drifting at sea waiting for rescue, in fact Charlie knows very well that the rescue team finds itself a high probability event. The only difference is the time. His supplies on the lifeboat are sufficient to support him for many days, so it will be a little later for him. It's not a big deal.
Charlie is now thinking about how to deal with the curiosity of the public and the media after returning to the United States. After all, he went to sea this time. Everyone except him was killed. A tragedy.
After sitting on the rescue helicopter and strapping on his seat belt, Cha idealed that he had just received a satellite phone call while he was being hoisted from the lifeboat with the help of rescue team members.
At that time, he was hanging in the air with a hovering helicopter above his ears, and his ears were filled with whistling winds. He couldn't hear the sound of the phone at all, but most of the people who knew he could make this call were He is close to him, so he tells the other party to call back when he is convenient, and after that he hangs up-after all, in that case, he can't hear what the other party said.
Now that he has settled down on the helicopter, the pilot has already returned by the helicopter. He will soon be able to board the rescue boat and return to the United States. It can be said that he is now basically safe.
Charlie was relieved, so he picked up the satellite phone and was ready to check who made the call.
The satellite phone showed that the call was transferred through his personal cell phone, that is, the other party called his personal cell phone, because no signal was automatically transferred to the satellite phone.
Private phone numbers, even fewer people know.
Charlie naturally also paid more attention. He looked at the incoming call number recorded by the satellite phone, but found that it was a completely strange number, not even a common number segment in the United States.
When Charlie saw the number, he froze for a while, then got excited and thought of a possibility.
He quickly dialed a number from a satellite phone. This was the phone number of his trusted friend, Pilt.
”God! Boss, are you okay now?” Pilt asked excitedly after answering.
Charlie had no thought or nonsense, and said directly: ”I'm already on the rescue helicopter, and now you have something to do with me, 100,000 urgent!”
”Master, please tell me!” Pilt said quickly.
”My side is temporarily unable to connect to the Internet. You can help me find out where a phone number belongs!” Charlie said.
”No problem! Please give me the number!” Pilt said.
”8613 ...” Charlie stopped after a few digits and said solemnly, ”Peerte, remember, don't look up any information on this number, just confirm where you belong! In addition, don't ask Anyone leaking this phone number! ”
”Understand!” Pilt said without hesitation.
Charlie then reported it to Pilt.
In fact, when dialing international phone numbers in China's mainland area, international dialing codes starting with 86 will be displayed, but this is a large number of numbers connected together, and Charlie is busy with business every day, and will not remember China's dialing code. So he couldn't confirm, so he asked Pilt to check it first.
