Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 935 Africa
Because the matter was not particularly urgent, and because he was a little tired after a busy day today, Liang En decided to wait until the next day to deal with it.

After breakfast the next morning, Liang En and Joan of Arc went to Mary's gallery in the city center, and then Mary and I talked about the scepter.

"The situation is like this. I received a few guests from Angola two days ago, so after completing the transaction, I subconsciously took out the photo you gave me and asked the other party." Mary explained before things.

"And after looking at our photos, a customer said that this sudden scepter is likely to be a king's scepter on their side, but they also need a little time to verify."

"It does sound like good news, but are you sure that this scepter belongs to his king?" After being happy for a few seconds, Liang En quickly thought of another important question.

"You know, they can't be sure that everyone is telling the truth, so for us, some things may need to be verified—" "I've asked Miss Elizabeth for this." Mary nodded .

"Just half an hour before you guys came, I got a notice from Elizabeth. He said that through investigation, he can confirm that this thing was indeed the highest-level scepter in that kingdom." "How did she find out so quickly?"

Liang En asked in surprise, because he had done work in this field before, and he naturally understood how complicated it is to conduct investigations in Africa, and it simply cannot be done in a short time.

"It's very simple, because we have a new investment in southern Angola." Mary took a sip of the coffee beside her and said.

"We have a not-too-small investment in that place, building a small hydropower station on a river to provide electricity for the surrounding area, and at the same time opening up plantations around it."

Since Elizabeth came here, Liang En's property has developed very rapidly, and at the same time, he has also launched a comprehensive investment work.Of course, these investments are not limited to Europe or the United States, but throughout the world.

It's just because they don't have enough capital now, and the previous bank left them with many legacy problems, so they spent a lot of time on asset consolidation.

The most important part of it is to cut off a large number of ineffective or inefficient investments in the United States, and then transfer funds to other countries, such as China, Southeast Asia or Africa.

Of course, this is not to say that the United States is not suitable for investment. After all, as the country with the largest economy in the world, it is of course very suitable for investment, but it is a bit tasteless for Liang En and others who lack capital.

Because in the United States, industries with relatively high profit margins have long been involved in large capitals, and Liang En and the others are simply unable to intervene, while those with low profit margins are tiring and have no money to do, and it is completely uneconomical.

That's why they choose to invest in other places. Although there are many problems in those places, at least the profits are much higher.

Of course, the investment still follows the traditional and stable investment style, such as the hotel industry in China, the mining industry in Guatemala, the wind power generation in Northern Europe, and the agriculture in Southeast Asia, etc.

As for the investment in Angola, it was Liang En's first investment in sub-Saharan Africa, and it was just an attempt.After all, there are all kinds of opportunities and problems in this place, so this is also an adventure.

But from another point of view, this time the opportunity is really great, to be able to finally obtain a small hydropower station, and this is an opportunity that is difficult to obtain in other places.

According to the stipulations of the contract, Liang En and the others must start the project three months after the contract is signed, and it must be completed within three years. After that, they can enjoy 70 years of income rights, and then sell it to Angola at 10% of the market price. .

Although the contract is a bit strict, it is definitely worth it considering the maximum return that can be obtained from this investment. In addition, they also invested additionally to buy a large farm around.

The reason for buying a farm is also very simple, because with the construction of this hydropower station, a large piece of surrounding land has also changed from desolate land that could not be planted in the past to irrigated land that is suitable for planting.

Liang En originally thought that buying land for planting would be more complicated than building a hydropower station. After all, many countries attached great importance to agricultural land and would not even allow the sale of cultivated land to foreigners.

But this is not the case here. After Liang En submitted the overall plan after the construction of the hydropower station and the small reservoir, he still easily bought a large piece of land, or bought a European-style 999-year ownership.

Unlike many countries, one of the biggest features of this country is that it has a large area of ​​land, but no one cultivates it, so they will naturally have various preferential policies for those who are willing to travel thousands of miles to cultivate it.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the scope of use of these lands must not be changed without approval, otherwise they will face fines or even confiscation.

According to Mary, the investment has been carried out for more than seven months, and some basic facilities have been completed. In the process, they have also established a relatively good relationship with the local people.

This is mainly because although there are rivers in the local area, it is not convenient to use water in places other than the banks of the river. Therefore, many villages far away from the river have to send people to spend time and energy to fetch water from the river every day.

Even more people can only use the sewage from the simple cisterns and even some stagnant puddles, which leads to a series of infectious diseases breaking out in this area every year, and the accidental death rate remains high.

After discovering this, Elizabeth directly ordered the engineering team to help the local villagers dig wells and build reservoirs. Considering the local groundwater level is very high, this work is much simpler than imagined.

However, although the work is simple, it solves one of the most direct and important problems of the local people. It is also for this reason that they are very familiar with the local people.

This is why Elizabeth was able to obtain those clues in a very short period of time, because after asking, he actually found out that his target was a neighbor, and quickly found out what was going on inside.

Only at this time did they know why they couldn't find any news after inquiring for a long time before, because the news about the scepter was only circulated in this area, and the outside world didn't know it at all.

Less than half an hour after confirming that the scepter did come from the place he declared before, Liang En met a guest from Angola.

He is a rich man who became rich because of oil, and his mother is from the kingdom where the scepter is located, and it is because of this that he knows what the scepter means.

Of course, the oil tycoon who can be mixed in that kind of place is definitely not a pure and good person, and the reason why he is willing to discuss it now is because Liang En's current status is something he can't afford.

Although Liang En couldn't have much impact on his business, it was enough to ruin his plan to build a relationship in Europe, so he told the truth about the scepter.
