Chapter 810 New South Africa
Section New South Africa
negotiation? When Li Cong heard this word, he even wanted to laugh at this guy, why do you negotiate with yourself? Two people with the same strength sitting together to discuss things is called negotiation, and now you have nothing in your hands, so why do you negotiate with me.
"Mr. Li, when Palestinian National Authority Chairman Arafat first came to the United Nations, he said that I came to seek cooperation with an olive branch in one hand and a submachine gun in the other. Now my situation is similar to that time. I also came to seek cooperation. Cooperate, I hope Mr. Li can let me see your sincerity." This old guy is an old politician, if you talk about these things, Li Cong really can't speak to him, after all, he is in the same era as the Prime Minister, even in terms of experience, we are not as good It's a lot.
"Wait, why did I seem to have heard this sentence before? It seems that Mr. Mandela made a mistake. What Mr. Arafat said at the time was to seek help, not cooperation." Li Cong also heard it. The allusion at that time, the old guy bullied himself when he was young, and changed it without authorization.
Mandela glanced at Li Cong meaningfully. This young man was really beyond his expectations. He knew that today's negotiation was really difficult, but he had no choice but to come. If Li Cong did not immediately If we provide assistance to South Africa, it may take at least ten years of chaos for South Africa to settle down. This is different from the Asian financial crisis. At that time, Southeast Asian countries were also in chaos, but the surrounding countries were stable, so they also Can settle down within five years.
But the environment around South Africa is different. South Africa is surrounded by war-torn countries. They didn’t dare to act recklessly when South Africa was strong. Now South Africa is also in chaos. If it is really caught in civil war like the surrounding countries, let alone ten years, it is probably useless to say twenty years.
Thinking of this, Mandela looked at Li Cong with some resentment. If the affairs of Africans were left to Africans, how could there be so many things? It was these foreigners who messed up the whole of Africa. These foreigners will only harm us Africans for hundreds of years.
"Then I'm here to ask for help." It's one thing how Mandela thinks, but he can't be so strong when he says it, otherwise Li Cong just ignores it with a stare. Li Cong can do such a thing .
"Hehe, that's right. In fact, South Africa's own economic strength is still good, but what is missing now is a confidence. I can help South Africa recover to the situation it was a few weeks ago within five years. Of course, this is definitely not free Yes, there are not many conditions, there is only one, I hope that Mr. Mandela can leave South Africa, and promise not to set foot in Africa in his lifetime." Li Cong's words did not show any sympathy, and Mandela got a brain out of hearing sweat.
leave Africa? Although Africans don't want to return to their roots as much as Chinese people get old, they don't want to leave their hometown when they are old. South Africa can be said to be the result of Mandela's lifelong struggle.
At the age when I was about to go to see God, I watched this achievement become someone else's, and I can no longer affect this country at all. It is really sad.
"Mr. Li, I grew up on this land. I hope you will allow me to stay here. I am an old man who is almost ninety, what can I do? Maybe I can help you sometimes." You are a bit busy." Mandela said eagerly, he really didn't want to leave here, and he was a bit groggy when he spoke, no matter how you looked at it, he didn't look like the president of a big country, just like a grocery buyer bargaining.
help? Li Cong looked up at him, and said in his heart, forget it, as long as you don't do me a disservice, I will be very happy, no matter what kind of person he is, it's okay for a foreigner who robbed his homeland What kind of favor, let alone help.
"Mr. Mandela, we might as well open up and say that South Africa is already in a mess. You have also sought international assistance, but look at what you have come. I think that if I don't take over, South Africa It’s going to be the same chaos as other places in Africa, which we don’t want to see, so you came to me, and I also want to save South Africa, but I saved South Africa, who will say when the time comes Forget it." Li Cong said the main problem.
Mandela's mouth twitched. He wanted to stand up and scold Li Cong for being a scoundrel. South Africa was fine before. If you didn't come to make trouble, then everything should be fine. Since you came, South Africa has been fine. It has become what it is now, but he also knows how powerful the person in front of him is. If he scolds him, he will have to be invited out immediately, and then South Africa will really be over.
Li Cong didn't continue talking, some words don't need to be persuaded, and he is not the kind of person with ink marks, we will talk if you want, and pull it down if you don't want to, Li Cong directly took a file bag on his desk , which is an agreement on this cooperation.
Although the Mandela family's property in South Africa is no longer worth much, and there are still certain debts, the infrastructure construction is still possible. Li Cong plans to buy it for a symbolic one dollar, and give it to Mr. Mandela in Australia He bought an island and built several villas on it for his big family to live there. In the end, he received a check for 200 million U.S. dollars and promised to give Mandela a pension of 10 million U.S. dollars every year. Even after he dies, he will continue to give.
This is already the highest price Li Cong can offer. If Mandela still does not accept it, then he will announce today's negotiations. Of course, they are all revised, and Mandela will definitely be given Described as a guy who disregards the interests of the country for his own personal interests. At that time, Mandela will really have nothing to leave behind. It is estimated that he will be left with a lifetime of infamy, and his family is probably going to be wiped out. .
"Mr. Mandela, I found out that you have a different farm in the UK. In fact, I also have one over there, and it happens to be next to yours. What a coincidence. In recent days, I heard from my old housekeeper that I said that it seems that you have gone to a lot of strangers, and the law and order in the UK is not very peaceful recently, you should pay attention." Li Congda said meaningfully, waiting for you, old guy, for a long time, and you still don't give it away. If you have an answer for yourself, then I can only give you some strong medicine. If you don't want the life of your entire family, then we really can't say anything.
Mandela's brows could no longer be frowned. He was really insulted this afternoon, and now Li Cong threatened him with his family's life as a bargaining chip. An old man felt that life was worse than life at this moment. death, but Mandela knows that he can't be busy now, and has not reached any agreement with Li Cong. If he has something to do, he will definitely go to talk to his eldest son according to Li Cong's code of conduct. It is estimated that the conditions at that time It will definitely be more harsh than it is now.
Two hundred million dollars? Once upon a time, when my family assets were the most, they reached more than 40 billion US dollars, but now they have shrunk by 200 times? Ten million dollars? Once upon a time, my family could earn this amount in one day, but now they have to use this money to maintain their lives every year. Will the members of the family become ordinary people in the future? Perhaps this is a fair thing for them, After all, they have been bullying others for more than ten years, and they should be ordinary people now.
Mandela looked up at the setting sun outside, unknowingly, he was like that setting sun, but the scenery was beautiful, but his mood was uncomfortable. When every big man has an old hero’s tomb, it seems I have also reached this time, and the future South Africa should belong to the young man in front of me.
It is really too difficult for others to take South Africa from this young man. The British and Americans wanted to take South Africa from their own hands, but they couldn't do it. This young man did it. It only took him a week to do it, and he shouldn't have any regrets about losing to such a person. It's all because he can't keep up with the world.
"Well, I agree to your conditions, but I think you can give my family a little freedom. They don't have to stay on that island. I will stay there honestly. I hope you can treat this country well. Treat the people of South Africa kindly." Mandela almost exhausted all his strength to say these words, and after he finished speaking, he seemed to have no strength at all, so he could only pant heavily and devote his whole life to Giving it to others, this kind of taste is really worse than death.
Li Cong clearly saw a tear in the corner of Mr. Mandela's eye, but he didn't feel sad at all. It was the same as what he said, winners and losers, in order to make himself less or no tears in the future, right now Let others cry.
Li Cong personally sent the old giant out of his reception room. Looking at his old body and staggering steps, Li Cong suddenly wondered if he would have this day, and maybe there would be a day when others would be like that. If you talk to yourself, even if you can't see it, your descendants will definitely see it. How can there be a country that lasts for ten thousand years? The ancient emperors hoped that their dynasty could be passed on, but those subjugated kings How did it come about? A group is always slowly getting worse, then being overthrown, and then forming a new group, then slowly getting worse, and then being overthrown, and then
Li Cong laughed at himself, what was he thinking, why he was not happy after winning, he shook his head and wanted to get rid of his evil thoughts just now, his hegemony has just begun, even if it is his son or grandson If one's own kingdom is ruined, it is beyond one's control. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and many things are out of their control.
Since the members of the Mandela family had already gone to the UK, Mandela's own evacuation work was very fast. When he left Li Cong's reception room for less than 48 hours, President Mandela boarded a special plane to Australia. , Li Cong also went to the airport to send him off in person to show his respect. Of course, he sent his son to hold down the old guy himself on the way.
Looking at the plane going away, Li Cong knew that a new chapter in South Africa was about to begin. The Mandela era in South Africa was really over, and the era of a new energy group was about to begin.
Faced with such a mess in South Africa, Li Cong also has his own reconstruction plan, which is well planned, so he will not feel flustered at the moment. A large amount of food is necessary. Although South Africa is counted as the last producing country in Africa, but With the turmoil, food is the most important thing, and other energy items are also very precious. Fortunately, the energy group has everything they need, and there is nothing missing. According to the government's rationing, South Africa will soon settle down, of course. The reason for the downfall was also the 30,000 soldiers of Angula, who would dare to mess around on the street with a shuttle of bullets down.
It was the former president of the government, Mr. Zuma, who came forward to organize the government. Although this guy seemed useless in the face of the financial crisis, a useless president is obviously better than no president. Looking at his messy presidential palace, Zuma Ma didn't know who to turn his anger on. It was Mandela's eldest son who made it like this here, but now that guy has arrived in England, and he obviously has no way to vent his anger on him. But in the final analysis, it caused this The one that caused the catastrophe was the energy group that provoked the financial crisis, so I couldn't help it. Everyone knew that Li Cong was his master now.
Li Cong admits that he doesn't have that ability in managing the country, but Zuma can still do it. As long as he can manage Zuma, that's what the superiors do. With the arrival of a large number of assistance from energy groups, A month later, South Africa has apparently returned to the state before the turmoil, but now everyone in South Africa has basically become a proletarian. Most of the domestic things either belong to the energy group or the government. If socialism is to be implemented here good choice.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Cong to implement any political policies in a boring way, which is not what he wants. Li Cong began to adjust South Africa's economic policy through Zuma and his own assistance. In the past, South Africa mainly exported machinery and minerals. As the main source of income, when people in other parts of the world mention South Africa, gold and diamonds are also there, but they know very little about other things.
The first step Li Cong has to do is the gold issue. This is a good thing. The first article of South Africa’s new constitution stipulates that gold is state-owned. To put it bluntly, Li Cong does not own it. Any foreign company or domestic company must immediately sign a new contract with the government. All previous contracts signed by the government shall be voided.
It took about a year for this gold recycling work to be completed, mainly because there are gold mining groups in South Africa from all over the world. No matter how arrogant Li Cong is, he would not dare to offend so many people rashly. Money or your own cargo agent to satisfy them and let them give up their shares to themselves. Of course, Li Cong also bought a large number of minerals before the economic crisis, which also helped Li Cong a lot. It will take five or six years to integrate, of course, this is all for later.
Other major forces in the world already know that Li Cong has taken over South Africa, and has strictly controlled South Africa's gold exports. As for diamonds, Li Cong has no desire to control them. Luxury.
Li Cong is very satisfied with the attitudes of the major forces towards Li Cong. These guys know that it is impossible for Li Cong to spit out the meat he ate in his mouth now. From Li Cong's rise in the world to the present Well, this guy is like a tiger, looking for trouble everywhere, expanding his power everywhere, as long as anyone has any trouble with him, then he will be in trouble.
Li Cong is difficult to provoke. Another aspect is that there is no important place in South Africa. It is not the age of heavy metals. There is no such thing as gold. Besides, Africa is a messy place. He is willing to ask for it. Just give it to him. The annual aid to Africa alone is estimated to be hundreds of billions of dollars, which is not enough to carry such a big burden. I don’t know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.
Li Cong is of course aware of this matter, and he did not intend to carry the whole of Africa on his shoulders. Southern Africa was his original goal. Of course, he has just swallowed South Africa, and he still needs to digest it slowly, and at this time There can't be any huge movements. Li Cong decided to go all out to restore the normal order in South Africa. As for other African expansion strategies, it is best to temporarily suspend them.
The energy group has spent billions of yuan to recruit a group of economic experts around the world. Although they may not be very useful, at least they know a little more than ordinary people. Let these people stay in South Africa and let South Africa use the shortest possible time. Stability, Li Cong doesn't want South Africa's economy to take off, that is too conspicuous, just want him to be stable, because Li Cong just hopes that it will become his own mechanical base, not a gathering place for the dawn of the world.
The economic experts are here, so it is time for Li Cong to go home. Recently, Li Cong feels that he is not a Chinese anymore. Anyway, the energy group has to keep a low profile for a while recently, and he can relax his life. Unexpectedly Before I had time to relax, an article in the News of the World pushed the energy group to the forefront.
The reason is that the News of the World revealed that 1ùEnergy Group was the maker of the South African economic crisis. It was nothing. Soros was almost scolded to death by the major newspapers back then, but he still lived his life very normally. A newspaper listed the energy group's new welfare package, with a big headline "Blood and Sweat of the People of South Africa Becomes the Blood of These Vampires."
