“…”
The office was very quiet.
Only outside the window, the sound of tires on the road could be heard from time to time, the sound of winter wind blowing leaves, and the sound of birds singing in the sky.
After a doctor’s examination, Compaoré was confirmed to be fine, but he didn’t know how to speak because what happened just now was really embarrassing.
Sankara, on the other hand, was immersed in his official duties, perhaps thinking of something interesting. The corners of his mouth raised from time to time, but he would soon suppress them.
“Dong dong dong——”
Until there was a knock on the door.
The atmosphere in the office slowly became normal with Sankara’s “Please come in.”
“President, Minister Compaoré.”
The person who opened the door and spoke was Mayev, and what came in was a chef pushing a dining cart. There were bowls and chopsticks for two people and four dishes and one soup on the dining cart.
Yes, in the Republic of Burkina, a former French colony, the tableware used when eating is not the knives and forks of the Western world, but chopsticks from a large Eastern country.
After the chef closes the door and leaves.
“Puff——”
Sankara finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.
He put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Compaoré who was sitting on the sofa next to him, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in, and explained:
“You know, I have received professional training in the army, and I usually don’t laugh unless I can’t help it.”
“…”
The corner of Compaore’s mouth twitched a few times, and he said helplessly:
“You might as well not explain it!”
“Hahaha–”
Sankara laughed again, then walked up to Compaore, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
“After all, he is also the Minister of Finance. He has been an official for more than ten years, why are he still so thin-skinned? Don’t worry! I will tell them not to tell anyone about today’s matter.
Okay, let’s eat quickly! The temperature is already low in winter. When the food is cold, it will not be as delicious as when it was freshly cooked. ”
Maybe he figured it out, or maybe he calmed down, or maybe he got assurance from Sankara.
Compaore finally did not continue to sit on the sofa, but got up and followed Sankara to the dining table.
He sat down on the chair, skillfully picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat on the plate.
Just when he was about to put it into his mouth, he seemed to suddenly remember something and was stunned for a moment. Then he quickly looked at Sankara and asked:
“I almost forgot to ask, does the 1.5 million tons of gold mine include the 300,000 tons of gold mine that has been discovered and occupied by France?”
“include!”
Sankara put a mouthful of rice into his mouth, and then said while eating:
“But we haven’t completely broken up with France yet, so I’m not ready to immediately take back the gold mines occupied by them.
Or to put it bluntly, I don’t dare to directly touch France’s fundamental interests in our country now. We, the Republic of Burkina, cannot afford to completely anger France. ”
“well–”
After hearing what Sankara said, Compaoré also sighed and said with emotion:
“We in the Republic of Burkina are still too weak, like a three-year-old child, and France is like a strong lion to us. They can tear us apart with just one pounce. Gotta smash it!”
The next second.
A smile appeared on Compaore’s face again, and he continued excitedly:
“But 1.3 million tons is enough!
And my requirements are not high. The average gold content of these 1.3 million tons of gold mines only needs to be one-half of the gold mines occupied by France. ”
“Actually, you can be a little more greedy!”
Sankara said with a smile.
“!?”
More greedy? Compaoré’s face showed ecstasy again, and he immediately asked:
“President, do you mean that the average gold content of these 1.5 million tons of gold mines is similar to the gold mines occupied by France!?”
“That’s right!”
Sankara nodded and replied.
“Bang bang – bang bang -”
In an instant, Compaore felt as if the whole world had become quiet.
All that was left in his ears was the sound of his heartbeat, which was getting faster and faster, and his breathing was getting faster and faster!
“Hey! I said can you calm down?”
Sankara, who discovered the abnormality, immediately spoke and shouted, pulling Compaoré back to the real world.”call–”
Compaore took a few deep breaths before he managed to recover.
Then he shook his head helplessly and said self-deprecatingly:
“It seems that I am really old, and my heart can no longer support me to accept such shocking news. If it happens a few more times, I’m afraid I can be buried directly in the soil.”
“Eat well! Let’s talk carefully after dinner. I don’t want to be forced to put down the bowl and chopsticks and call you a doctor in the middle of the conversation!”
Sankara also tapped the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks helplessly and complained.
“Okay, okay, let’s eat first.”
Upon hearing the word doctor, Compaoré nodded quickly.
…
“Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock—”
When the clock on the wall pointed to 2:09 pm.
The chef who came in with the dining cart just now collected the leftovers, pushed the dining cart out of the office, and gently closed the door.
“If the gold content of a 1.2 million-ton gold mine is equivalent to that of several gold mines in France, then as long as we are willing to invest heavily in equipment, we can mine 50 to 60 tons of gold in a year.
According to the current international gold price, that is US$5.4 billion to US$6.5 billion. Converted into North African CFA francs, we can get at least 540 billion North African CFA francs in fiscal revenue a year! hiss……”
Compaore counted on his fingers. When he calculated the number 540 billion, he took a deep breath.
At the same time, the fingers he used for calculation began to tremble uncontrollably.
“So, with this 540 billion annual revenue, the government’s finances will be completely improved. As long as the French don’t discover it, then our Republic of Burkina will embark on a path of rapid development!”
Sankara also spoke next to him.
After hearing Sankara’s words, Compaoré shook his head with a wry smile and said:
“Don’t let the French discover it? This is simply impossible!
Either we can only pray that when the French learn that we in the Republic of Burkina still have 1.2 million tons of gold mines, they will not just go down and use force to rob them!
Or, if it can alleviate the financial pressure on the government, mine as little as possible to maintain production at a level that will not make France jealous. ”
Sankara smiled mysteriously and said:
“Is it impossible? I don’t think so! At least I have a way to prevent the French from discovering it, or that they cannot discover it at all in a short period of time.”
“Well! What can I do?”
Compaoré asked in surprise.
“hey-hey……”
Sankara smiled and shook his head but did not answer.
Because Sankara’s method is——
Using the system’s data panel, all people involved in gold mining and subsequent gold sales will have a loyalty level of 75 or even 80 or above.
At the same time, every half a month or even a week, the system’s data panel is used to test these people to ensure that their loyalty has not decreased.
In this way, even if France detects an anomaly due to the influx of large amounts of funds, they will not guess in a short time that it is because there are 1.2 million tons of gold mines underground in the Republic of Burkina.
This is also a somewhat cumbersome, but currently best way that Sankara came up with when he made up his mind to mine gold mines a few days ago.
