Chapter 803 Is Not the Same as Imagined
April 5th.
The auction was held as scheduled in Kinsa.
The hidden bid form used in this auction can be described as quite "creative", but in order to carry out directional "transfer of benefits", this form is the usual practice of the "industry".
Otherwise, shoot it out.
It's hard to control the number of people.
They are not afraid of being suspected of operating in the dark by the public. Suspicion is always suspicion, and the official word is two words.
It covers almost all major interest groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Even if many people on Moi's side can't get a share of the pie, they still think that the $4 billion project fund has not been passed by Congress and is in the hands of the DRC government.
They didn't dare to jump out and say half a word.
then.
A 'feast' ended so silently.
finally.
Several companies controlled by the Black Prison have won four of the high-quality assets, mainly minerals, which is also what Tang Qing meant. This way, there will be many fewer opponents.
Tang Qing was not interested in those real estate, automobiles, low-end manufacturing companies, etc.
In Tang Qing's eyesight.
Nonrenewable resources.
It can really be called a 'valuable resource'.
And these.
Tang Qing only spent less than 100 million US dollars, and the rest were all loans. Although it was only a five-year loan with an annual interest of 8%, five years was enough for Tang Qing to earn the money.
As for that seemingly high interest rate.
Tang Qing pouted.
Congo Brown's inflation rate is higher than the interest rate, and it may even be negative interest rates in the end. If he exchanges it on the black market, he can save a lot of money, and it is difficult to lose money.
. . .
April 8th.
Kinsa Airport.
A Kenya Airways plane lands slowly.
Thirty-seven people with Chinese faces came out.
The leader was a big man over thirty, with a national face and a sturdy temperament. At first glance, he looked like a professionally trained soldier, and everyone was carrying an army green travel bag of the same color.
Wearing the same clothes.
"Captain, is this the Democratic Republic of the Congo? It's nothing." A man in his twenties, who looked like a clever ghost, leaned over and asked, his eyes rolling from side to side, looking at the exotic.
All right.
He was disappointed.
All black-faced uncles.
"What else do you want to see? Go, go out first, our company's car is waiting outside." He replied angrily, and the captain He Liang walked in the front. This young man was a team member when he served, so he kept calling his captain.
Retired last year.
He Liang obeyed the transfer arrangement and worked in the security department of a city enterprise, but his income was too low, and his family had many brothers and sisters, which made him a big burden. Therefore, in September last year, he was introduced by his comrades to join the current company.
When I first joined the company, the main business of the company was domestic security and bodyguards, but the salary was not low and the base salary was very high. Most importantly, the company promised that there will be many opportunities to go abroad to earn extra money in the future.
A monthly salary of over 10,000 is possible.
Just two months after joining the company.
Here comes the opportunity.
The company has undertaken a large number of mine security projects in Africa. The basic salary is twice that of the domestic one. With various subsidies, the salary has directly broken through 10,000, and it has completely become the level of domestic gold-collar workers.
This is in 2006, what a temptation is the salary breaking 10,000 yuan, and there is a month of paid vacation every year, He Liang did not hesitate, signed up, passed the selection, and set foot on the land of Africa.
He remembered that his first task was an open-pit coal mine in the Equatorial Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Their second security team consisted of 18 people. He served as the deputy captain of the second team, and he also managed more than 20 black security guards.
The security team also has a team of twenty, but that belongs to the mining company, not a third-party security company like them.
at first.
He Liang's impression of this place is very chaotic. He may encounter life-threatening danger at any time. He can't even sleep well and has to hold a gun. In fact, as he thought, most parts of this country are not very stable.
tribe.
armed.
underground forces.
robbers.
Or a gangster who could become a robber at any time.
Widespread in this area of two million square kilometers of land.
And before he went there, he had heard that mines are very unsafe places, stealing mines, collecting protection fees, etc. are very common. If you are not good, you may be punished because you have a pack of cigarettes in your hand.
They also dare not offend the locals too much.
But these things have long been prepared.
After arriving at the mine, I was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the local people. On the first day I came, the leaders of the mine invited them to have a big meal, which was all mountain and game. The surrounding residents sold them to them, which was quite cheap. .
And the next day.
A nearby tribal chief treats guests.
He also took them to eat and drink, and that attitude was very good. He thought it was because there was too much bribe in the mine that these people were so easy to talk and so smiling.
But later.
He found that was not the case.
The people here are not in awe of their money, but an unknown force. He doesn't know what it is, but he can imagine that it must be very powerful. The leaders of the mine also implicitly said that as long as we are reasonable, don't be afraid. those Africans.
Beat it up.
Don't be cowardly.
The other party will never dare to retaliate afterwards.
Facts also proved that what the leader of the mine said was true. Once, a few people from that tribe got drunk and came to the mine to make trouble. They even shot and injured a Chinese security guard. In the end, he never saw those people again. .
After chatting with the security guards of the tribe, he learned that these people are all dead.
He Liang seemed to have heard that because of this, the tribal patriarch was fined a lot of money. As for how much and who was fined, He Liang did not know, in this country where people dare to kill for a thousand dollars.
The hell knows how much money is.
Gradually.
Over time.
He Liang knew more and more.
Various weapons on the mine, and even later equipped with a lot of American military Humvees, I heard that these are the goods handled by Iraqi war equipment, not just these military Humvees.
I heard that other mines even have potash trucks and unconventional weapons.
What He Liang thought for the first time was: The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo is definitely behind it, otherwise it would be impossible. This gave him a thorough understanding of how deep the mining company's background was.
In the days that followed, they had a pretty smooth life, training every day, patrolling, hunting occasionally, and having a good relationship with the local indigenous people, often eating and competing together.
Also early last month.
I heard that the business is expanding rapidly.
The company has become a branch in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He Liang can speak French due to the charging during this period, so he was promoted and served as the deputy manager of the branch. The main task is to bring new people to report.
Usually also part-time training instructors, need to run on various mines.
Reminds me of this company's work.
He Liang was a little shocked.
There are more than a dozen newly opened mines, and the number of security guards in each mine ranges from 20 to 40. This time alone, at least 300 people will come from China, which can basically squeeze the current domestic company personnel reserves. Dry.
He estimates that the company's expansion will be frantic.
No wonder the company recruited people like crazy before. As long as people with a veteran background are required, it turns out that there is a big life waiting for them.
