Chapter 475 473. The first stop, Somalia

Zhou Rui went to prepare his favorite plane named "Kunpeng" and lent it to Lu Yuan, so that he would no longer have to take a civil aviation plane to go home.

He also needs to go back to the Science and Technology Park and bring some useful things, mainly those small objects that can be commercialized in the laboratory.At the same time, we need to prepare some living supplies. Anyway, the plane is not small, and it is a waste to be empty.

Since it is a global visit, it is natural to have something under the box. Empty hands are not the way for Chinese people to be guests.

As for the matter of applying for the route, leave it to Chen Chujing, and it will be done in minutes.

And he can't waste time now, all he needs to do is to contact the Zhou family's Sihai Heavy Industry headquarters in Africa while preparing the plane, and learn about the situation there, which can be regarded as making some preparations for the first stop in advance.

"Oh... I really don't want to go out."

Sighing, Lu Yuan took out his phone and called Lu Yuhua, the person in charge of Sihai Heavy Industry's African headquarters.

Sihai Heavy Industry has the right to mine a copper mine in the Hiran district of Somalia. The high-quality copper materials used in Pangu's foundry and rocket base are basically imported from there.

Lu Yuan also had a relationship with this great man who led the team to explore the African continent, so it was definitely right to ask him about the mine.

When the phone was connected, Lu Yuan told Lu Yuhua about his plan to cooperate in the joint development of the new mining area.

The man who led his team to travel across Africa and snatch territory from countless Western capitalists who were armed to the teeth, unexpectedly fell silent after learning about Lu Yuan's news.

After a long time, he sighed, and said: "Mr. Lu...it's just a gem mine, so it doesn't need to cost so much. At present...the situation here is not very good."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"That mine..." Lu Yuhua thought about his choice of words before continuing to ask, "You should have gotten some information from the news, right?"

"The news only said that it is located in the west of Somalia. It should be located at the junction of Hiran District and Bakool District. The climate there seems to be unfavorable. It is dominated by mountains and Gobi, and the living conditions are very poor."

"That's right, that's true on the surface. But Mr. Lu, you may still be a little unfamiliar with this place." Lu Yuhua's voice seemed to come from far away, and said faintly: "Because of this gem mine, the two regions The people in power almost lost their minds during this period. The two sides each invested tens of thousands of people, and the battle line was long. Even those of us in the eastern mining area are tense and jittery. Recently, security costs have risen by 120 %..."

"The situation has already become clear. Our partner, General Aidid, who is in power in the Hiran District, has already taken over this mining area. Unexpectedly, within a few days of the gemstone mine being mined, a hot item was discovered."

"It is said that it is a rough ruby. It is said that it is the largest rough stone in the world so far. The specific situation is unknown, but even so, it is at least 2000 carats, and the quality of the ruby ​​in that mining area is excellent, which is said to be higher than that of Myanmar. The quality of the ruby ​​isn't bad, maybe better. The value... tsk tsk—"

Lu Yuhua sighed loudly, and seemed to be envious of the warlord's luck, but no matter how he heard it, there was still a third of schadenfreude.

"The news from General Aidid's side has not been completely blocked, and there may be an insider in the gem mine who leaked the news, allowing the Bakool District to get the news."

"Gems worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and hidden mining areas with infinite value, let alone the big warlords in the Bakool district who have the idea of ​​​​taking this gem. The entire western part of Somalia even includes Somaliland, which is in trouble. People in power, warlords and precarious The refugee leaders are all thinking about this gem."

"The interests of the mining area will not be obvious in the short term, but rubies are real money! These people are desperate, and they are all soldiers when they do it. That lucky guy in Aidid will be in trouble."

"General Aidid can only get rid of this gem as soon as possible in exchange for more equipment and weapons to protect the safety of his territory. But now the entire Hiran area is surrounded by various military forces with red eyes. There's been a lot of conflict between them alone."

"I just received information here. Just yesterday, General Aidid rented a state-of-the-art Eagle helicopter gunship, trying to smuggle the rough stone to the sea and find someone else to sell it. I don't know if it was insider or not. The ghost betrayed, the helicopter was shot down by two rockets before it entered the airspace of the Hiran area, not to mention the deposit was in vain, and now no one dares to step into the Hiran area."

"Mr. Lu, tell me, in such a pool of muddy water, it's not an exaggeration for me to say that the situation is not good?"

"..." Lu Yuan listened to a wave of stories, and his mind was in a mess. He really didn't expect that things were so difficult.

But it was tricky, and he paid more attention to this mining area.

Rubies, he had no interest in, were just chunks of glass, worthless.

But the associated mine of ruby...

This is what the Rocket Center needs most!

Because they don't want to expose the relevant technology, they have been doing some research secretly through underground channels.The conditions are not ripe for widespread deployment.

Now there is a huge gem mine as cover, which is a godsend!
"Well, this is the best! And at this point in time, the luxury goods market is out of business, and the price can be lowered!" Lu Yuan slapped his thigh. Of course, the more chaotic the better for him.

"Uh..." On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuhua was completely confused.

I thought that my story was so exaggerated, how could this young and energetic boy be frightened, who knew...

"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!"

Lu Yuhua hung up the phone, sighing inwardly.

…………

Through the phone, Lu Yuan, who made up his mind, got the satellite phone of General Aidid, the actual controller of the mining area, from Lu Yuhua.

There is a five-hour time difference between Somalia and China. It should be a busy morning over there at this moment, and Lu Yuan is going to call at night.

Regardless of the subsequent development, contacting General Aidid is an essential step, and it should be sooner rather than later.

After finishing all this, the matter in Binhai came to an end, Zhou Rui also gave orders to go down, prepared the plane, and drove Luyuan in person very attentively.

You can drive halfway, and Lu Yuan feels that something is wrong. This direction is clearly going to the sea, not the airport in the direction of the city at all.

"Why, you applied for a private airport?" Lu Yuan asked doubtfully.

"Hey. You'll know when you get there."

Zhou Rui looked mysterious, but he didn't answer Lu Yuan's doubts.
