Chapter One Thousand and Four: The Circle

As far as Yang Fei knows, apart from Sudan, the oil-rich regions in Africa also have the Gulf of Guinea.

Gulf of Guinea, part of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa, is the largest bay in Africa. Liberia, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the island nation of Sao Tome and Principe at the head of the Gulf.

Among them, countries such as Nigeria have the most abundant oil resources.

Beginning in the 1990s, Western countries tried to get rid of their dependence on oil exporting countries in the Middle East, and began to look for new energy production areas in Africa.

Petroleum companies such as Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil and Chevron of the United States, and Total of France successively entered Nigeria for oil exploration and development in the mid-to-late 1990s.

Yang Fei also wanted to enter the Gulf of Guinea as soon as possible to seize some oil blocks.

However, the idea of ​​doing energy business is good, but the dangers and difficulties are also obvious.

In addition to being rich in oil, the Gulf of Guinea is also the region with the most civil wars in Africa. In the past ten years, nearly one million people have died in civil wars. In some countries and regions, civil wars have lasted for more than ten or even twenty years. Far from over.

At the same time, the Gulf of Guinea is also known as the "Black Triangle" area, one of the four famous poisonous areas in the world.

Yang Fei wants to go here to pan for gold. There are business opportunities, but there are also crises.

When Jin Dabao heard that Yang Fei was going to the Gulf of Guinea, he waved his hands again and again, persuading him to give up this plan as soon as possible.

"It's too messy there, it's not a place for people to stay." Jin Dabao said, "We'd better do business honestly, and don't make money that can only be earned by hanging our heads on our belts."

Yang Fei said: "It was you who proposed the crude oil business just now, but you are the one who backed down now. Do you have the guts to do it? I'm afraid I should have said it earlier!"

Jin Dabao's fat face shook, and he patted his bulging belly: "Afraid? I would be afraid? I, Jin Dabao, have been hanging out on the streets since I was a child. I started fighting with people when I was ten years old, and beat people's heads with bricks. I was a teenager. Working in the mining area, one day you are on the verge of death to earn a living? Later, you opened a mine by yourself and fought with people every day, and it’s not like you haven’t seen dead people before!”

"Jin Ye, dare?" Yang Fei shouted excitedly.

"Why don't you dare?" Jin Dabao poked his neck and said, "So many people are getting rich there! Ma De, who is not a billionaire in resources over there? Everyone in power in those countries Greed, I heard that Nigerian politicians stole about 400 billion yuan of state funds and secretly deposited them in overseas accounts! 400 billion yuan! The per capita GDP of their country is the lowest in the entire region One of the countries!"

Yang Fei waved his hand: "We don't care what happens to other countries. We don't go to Nigeria either. There are too many oil giants there. Let's find a small country and buy a few oil blocks for fun."

Jin Dabao said: "That's fine, let's find a relatively safer country! After all, although I'm not afraid of death, I have a life to earn and a life to spend! Don't you think so?"

Yang Fei smiled slightly: "Of course."

It is not impossible to do oil business on your own, but the risk is too great.

Yang Fei wanted to find a partner.

The first thing he thought of was Chen Shaohua.

Yang Fei called Chen Ruoling.

Chen Ruoling smiled and said, "You just came back from America, and you miss me again?"

Yang Fei said: "I miss your brother.

"

"What?" Chen Ruoling thought she had heard wrong.

You know, Yang Fei and Chen Shaohua have always been at odds.

Yang Fei said: "Is Hua Shao there? I want to see him."

"My brother is here, having a party at home! What can you do with him?"

"We'll see each other later."

"Are you in Beijing?"

"Well, I came yesterday."

"Are you in the courtyard? I'll pick you up."

"Don't bother, I'll go there by myself. I also brought a friend, and I'll introduce you to him by the way."

"female?"

"Hehe, man. Man! Pure."

"...Then you come, we are in another courtyard, I brought you here before, do you remember the way?"

"Remember."

When Yang Fei and Jin Dabao arrived at the Chen family's other courtyard, they saw bright lights in the room, and laughter came from inside.

Chen Ruoling waited for him outside the door, and when he got out of the car, she took his arm affectionately and said with a smile: "You have a conscience, you know come to visit me when you come to Beijing."

Yang Fei patted the back of her hand, signaling her to pay attention to the influence.

"What are you afraid of?" Chen Ruoling smiled, "We've already kissed, haven't we? We've already kissed, and you're still afraid of holding hands?"

Yang Fei glanced at this other courtyard, and couldn't help but think of the time when he first met Chen Ruoling.

Back then, Chen Shaohua and Yang Fei couldn't agree on a business deal, so they arranged for someone to teach Yang Fei a lesson. Chen Ruoling rode a horse and carried him out. It was in this other courtyard that she said she had taken a fancy to him and kissed him voluntarily. he.

Yang Fei introduced Jin Dabao to her.

Jin Dabao grinned: "You can just call me Dabao. I am called Brother Yang Fei. Regardless of age, he is my eldest brother, so you are my sister-in-law!"

Chen Ruoling laughed and said, "Yang Fei, among all your friends, only Mr. Jin is the best, the most sensible and the cutest!"

Yang Fei and Jin Dabao looked at each other: "..."

Entering the room, Yang Fei was taken aback, there were many people inside, and most of them were acquaintances!

Fu Heng and his eccentric daughter Fu Ying, Mo Rongheng and his sisters Hua Mo Miao and Mo Ming.

Besides these long-lost acquaintances, there are two friends: Shi Si and Yue Tianhao.

They are people in the same circle, and they are usually busy with their own work. It is not uncommon for them to get together years ago.

Chen Ruoling seemed to be deliberately performing for Shi Si, holding Yang Fei's hand intentionally and not letting go, and introduced Yang Fei and Jin Dabao to everyone with a smile.

Shi Si smiled faintly, pretended not to see her, and did not say hello to Yang Fei.

On the other hand, Yue Tianhao, who was still so bold, got up and shook hands with Yang Fei, and then gave him a bear hug, and said with a smile: "Old Yang, long time no see! Oh, my VCD business is not doing well, I just want to ask you to give me some advice Woolen cloth!"

Yang Fei nodded: "Mr. Yue, you just need to follow Hu Zhibiao in the mobile phone business."

"Really? I think so too, but I don't have a license, nor do I have such a big capital." Yue Tianhao shook his head and sighed.

Yang Fei said in a low voice: "Hey! You don't have to have a license, just like you used to assemble and produce VCDs! —— Don't make a fuss."

Yue Tianhao said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you for your advice!"

Fu Heng laughed and shook hands with Yang Fei: "Mr. Yang, we meet again."

Yang Fei said lightly: "Mr. Fu went to the United States for medical treatment. Judging by your complexion, is it cured?"

When Fu Heng thought of being instigated by the Chen family to deceive Yang Fei, he couldn't help but blushed and laughed again: "Mr. Yang, don't mention the past! Now everyone is in the same circle and helps each other. Helping each other and making a fortune together is the right thing to do.”

Yang Feiyu said sarcastically: "Mr. Fu, I don't know if you want to entrust your family property and your daughter to me? I'm thinking about it now, and I'm willing to take over!"
