"It's so shameless." Lin Rui shrugged. "This is how the reputation of mercenaries has been ruined. Is there any way to teach them a lesson?"
"Actually, there is. Not long ago, someone contacted us. There was a mission about the mines in Central Africa." The actuary Maang'an smiled and said, "The target was still those Wagner mercenaries. But at that time, we Duo, this matter has been shelved. Otherwise, I can contact and meet the employer? "
Lin Rui thought for a while, "That's okay. Even if you don't accept this task, it's better to talk to the employer and understand the situation there."
Actuary Jiang An said to Lin Rui, "Actually, I want you to get to know this employer."
"What's wrong?" Lin Rui asked.
"This employer, like you, is also a Chinese. It is said that he is a powerful character. This man's status in the hearts of Chinese people in Central Africa can be summed up in four words - his hands and eyes are open to the sky. It is said that this man opened a hotel earlier and later engaged in mining. Business. He is very powerful in the local area. He will come out to entertain the Chinese people who go to Central Africa.
¡°And this person is very familiar with the local military and political officials, has a gun license, and is the patron saint of the Chinese in Central Africa. One time, a person brought 40 million to invest, but was defrauded. After he found out, he came forward to find the military police to arrest the fraudster and took back the factory for him. Someone joked: If you have urgent matters in China and Africa, it is better to go to the embassy directly than to him.
I suggest that you get in touch with him and there is another more important thing. This person has been engaged in the mining industry in Africa for some years and has done a good job in this area. We can cooperate with him in mining some of the mines we have acquired before. ¡± explained actuary Masakishi.
Lin Rui understood what the actuary Jiang An meant. In fact, Trident Company also owns some mines. Most of them are African countries that cannot afford cash, so they use mining rights to offset the cash.
Africa is rich in resources, and mining rights in some areas of Africa are almost equivalent to banknotes, so private military companies are also happy to accept them. But mercenaries from private military companies only know how to fight, so how can they mine? They don¡¯t even understand management. So to avoid trouble, these mining rights are usually packaged and sold to others for cash.
The advantage of doing this is that it can be realized quickly, but the disadvantage is that it is often difficult to maximize benefits. Actuary Shogan is a smart man and has long seen the pros and cons. He and Lin Rui have also been trying to find a group of people to directly operate these mines on behalf of Trident Company, so that the profits will be doubled. But I have never met the right candidate. It seems that this time he wants to discuss cooperation with this employer.
Of course, Lin Rui also knew the benefits of this, and nodded immediately, "Okay, you go make arrangements and meet this employer."
A few days later, the employer mentioned by the actuary Masaki arrived. What people didn't expect was that when the employer showed up with a few black bodyguards, both Lin Rui and the actuary Jiang An were in a daze.
Because this employer is a woman, she looks average. She may have been in Africa all year round, and her skin is not very good, but even so, she should not be more than thirty years old.
"Ahem I'm sorry, where is Boss Wang?" Actuary Jiang An asked tentatively.
"That's me." The woman stretched out her hand calmly. "Wang Weiqi."
"I'm sorry, I thought" Actuary Jiang An was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "They told me your name was King Vicki, and I thought it was a man's name."
Wang Weiqi smiled and said, "It seems that you don't move around Central Africa very much. Anyone who travels around Central Africa frequently will always hear about me."
"Sorry, we are indeed more active in Northwest Africa, and we do have less movement in Central Africa. Wei Qi, forget it, I'll call you Boss Wang." Lin Rui stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down, I heard that you have a task that you want to entrust. Give us?"
"There is a mission. Let's see if you dare to take it." Wang Weiqi nodded and took out a cigarette. The black bodyguard next to her immediately lit it for her.
Lin Rui smiled, this girl is a bit interesting, she actually knows how to play hard to get and provoke the general.
He nodded, "Since Boss Wang came to find us, he has naturally heard about the strength of our company. Tell me, what is the specific task?"
Wang Weiqi blew out a puff of smoke, "In the Ndasima region in the central part of the Central African Republic, there are dozens of mines here, run by Americans, Canadians, Koreans, and Chinese. We have six gold mines among them, Now occupied by Wagner mercenaries.
Strictly speaking, it is not an illegal occupation, because the gold mining rights have been transferred to the government. These Wagner mercenaries are accepted normally.
But there is one thing that I am not convinced of.
We invested RMB 60 million in the early stages of mining, making us one of the largest gold mining companies in Central Africa. Of course, there is a certain proportion of funds,bsp; Wang Weiqi replied, "Yes, the country's public security is chaotic and the police's capabilities are backward. These are originally very unfavorable things for business, but with some smart people, bad things sometimes turn into good things.
For example, some Chinese businessmen specialize in black market wholesale. You can get goods here at very low prices because they are all stolen goods.
The police here don't care. It's easy to investigate. As long as you can't produce the purchase order and invoice, it can be judged as stolen goods and you will be fined. But the Chinese have long seen through the police here, and they can pass the customs by giving them some red envelopes. If you have enough red envelopes and a good relationship, you can also get goods from the police.
¡°Many Chinese didn¡¯t want to do this business when they first came here, but if you get the goods from normal channels, you won¡¯t have a price advantage, and you can¡¯t compete at all. If you watch others making money, you won¡¯t be able to hold on for long.
If you want to be an honest person, there is nothing wrong with being an honest person. Why should you come to Africa to be an honest person?
But if this happens too often, local owners will go directly to Chinese stores to look for their lost items, and they can always find their lost items. This has a great impact on the reputation of Chinese businessmen.
Later, Chinese businessmen had to live in their own shops or warehouses, lock the iron doors when sleeping, keep vicious dogs to guard the house, and buy guns for self-defense in order to feel at ease. Can you imagine, I went to Africa when I was a teenager and lived in such an environment.
During the war, I also ran away, but I was still reluctant to give up this treasure land of resources.
¡°Besides, there are a lot of Chinese here. Our family arrived early, so we had to take care of the new arrivals to some extent. "
"Boss Wang, you are awesome! I have heard that you are the gang leader." Actuary Jiang An said with a smile.
Wang Weiqi shook her head, "No kidding, I know that our group is almost considered a dark force in the local area. But so what? The arrival of the Chinese has brought technological changes to the gold mining industry here. The excavators and placer gold mining technology we brought brought gold mining here from the original manual workshop to the mechanical age.
Many of the first batch of gold diggers became multi-millionaires. When gold mining was at its peak, even those who sold gold mining equipment made a lot of money, not to mention three to four hundred thousand a year. Some people bought a Ferrari as soon as they returned to China.
However, this will always make people jealous, and when they are jealous, something will happen.
In African countries, it is common for the police to have great power. They are equipped with guns and can use their discretion when enforcing the law and even do whatever they want. Therefore, violent law enforcement is common.
Public security issues are also a big problem that troubles us. Many places are armed and separatist, and gangs are rampant. Chinese people who have just arrived like to bring cash, so they are often the target of being stolen. Some robbers often go out in groups of more than a dozen armed with guns. It is impossible to resist. Once they resist, they will lose their lives.
¡°Chinese people who have stayed in Africa for a long time understand one thing ¨C calling the police is useless. Because the efficiency of solving crimes is low, police inaction is the norm. If you encounter robbery, you can only admit that you are unlucky.
¡°The police brutally enforce the law and local people take advantage of the situation. In Africa, where law and order are imperfect, abiding by the law may cost people even more. We have no choice but to stick together and be brave. In fact, we are really just a group of ordinary people who look after each other and make a living in Africa. "
Wang Weiqi was silent for a while, "My father died in 2019. He was robbed and killed along with several people around him. The police didn't work at all. I spent money to find mercenaries and found the robber, one Everything was ruined. From that moment on, I understood that you can¡¯t even try to be a good person here.¡±
Lin Rui nodded, "Boss Wang has seen it thoroughly."
"What's so thorough? It's just that I've been here for a long time and seen a lot of things, so I naturally figured out some ways." Wang Weiqi sighed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
