Reborn Financial Overlord

The real reason is that the local aborigines don't want to work, but they are jealous of other people's wealth. They can't see the hard work of others when they sweat, but they are envious of other people's wealth in life.
Among the missions that Shadow has received, there are five times when some foreign businessmen's properties were looted and destroyed by local people, and their lives were threatened.
One of the employers, Wang Kangsu, was originally from southern Hokkien.
Meeting fellow villagers in a foreign country is naturally very cordial. Through contact with Wang Kangsu during the mission, Zheng Zheng learned that Zambia has fertile land, abundant water sources, and sufficient sunlight, which is very suitable for planting. The grain can be produced for three seasons a year, so Many foreigners will come here to run farms.
The same goes for Wang Kangsu.
The geographical environment of southern Fujian is very close to that of western Guangdong, which is not suitable for planting. By chance, Wang Kangsu, a fellow villager who was building a railway in Zambia, learned that Zambia's geographical environment and climate are very suitable for farming, and it may be an opportunity to make a fortune.
Trees move to death, people move to live.
The soil quality in southern Fujian is too poor to support people by farming, and even a meal of porridge with leaves and vegetables is not enough to fill their stomachs. Seeing that there is no hope, many people left Nanyang very early for this reason.
His family knew his own affairs, and Wang Kangsu knew that he was not suitable for business, but he was still good at farming.After some ideological struggles, he sold his ancestral house and received a large sum of money, and brought his wife, brother and family to Casama with a dream in mind.
Sure enough, the land in Kasama is as fertile as the villagers said, and the rain and climate are very suitable for planting. Wang Kangsu was also pleasantly surprised to find that people here don't seem to like farming, so the price of food is very high.
After spending $20, building good relations with officials in a small town in Kasama, and spending another $[-], Wang Kangsu got a [-]-year farming contract for [-] acres of wasteland approved by the government.
With land, you can live.
The family dug the ground with hoes, weeded the weeds by hand, and sweated the land for three years, finally saving a sum of money.
The hoes were replaced with agricultural machinery imported from the United States, and the weeding machines were replaced with spraying machines from China. Even the land was negotiated with the Kasama government again, and the contract for [-] mu of land was approved.
There is too much land, and the family can't stay busy, so they have to hire people.
I wanted to call some relatives from my hometown to help, but who knows, in this regard, the Kasama government blocked me.
Because, according to the requirements of the labor department of the Kasama government, if foreign investors want to hire workers from other countries, they must recruit workers from the local area at a ratio of one to eight.
This is a labor protection.
In desperation, Wang Kangsu's plan to find five people from his family for help turned into three people, and recruited 24 more workers from the local area.
Who knows, this has become a disaster for his family.
The hard work of the local workers is inversely proportional to their body size. Wang Kangsu's family can find any one at random, and they can do as much work as eight of them every day.
Forget it, the crops need to work overtime when they are harvested, but those workers are not willing to stay and work overtime when they get off work.
Especially when it came time to pay wages, since Casama’s wages were paid weekly, as long as those workers received their wages, they would immediately find no one.
The weather is always changeable.
Because of untimely harvesting or planting, for many years, Wang Kangsu's farm was forced to spend a lot of money.
If only that was the case, it wouldn't be outrageous.
Six months ago, Wang Kangsu, covered in blood, found the first security camp in Zimbabwe and offered a sky-high price of [-] U.S. dollars, hoping that Zheng Zheng would send someone to snatch his wife's body back.
Chapter 42 Natural enemies
Lukasa, First International Security Temporary Office.
Surrounded by a group of soldiers holding AKs, Matthew walked back and forth. His face was obviously full of impatience and irritability. After waiting for three to ten minutes, he still hadn't waited for the leader of the shadow. His patience was exhausted. Almost at the limit.
Suddenly, Matthew felt something was wrong, and instinctively looked in the direction of the feeling.
At some point, a person walked into the room.
Asian, not tall, with ordinary face and hair, Matthew couldn't tell the difference between him and those outside, and his thin body seemed to fall down with a single punch.
But Matthew seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and the hairs all over his body shrank together involuntarily.
What kind of eyes are those.
The black pupils are flat and indifferent, without any emotion, but there is a suffocating and terrifying look.
Instinctively made Matthew feel dangerous. He wanted to get back, but in the end he restrained himself.
He didn't like the man in front of him very much.
There is no reason.
If he had to say a reason, it was that when he saw this person, he would feel an instinctive fear.
Unfortunately, Matthew has never killed a pig.
A pig butcher, because he kills pigs all the year round, will have a cold killing intent that only pigs can feel. It is the breath of death condensed by countless blood containing the spirit of pigs.
Therefore, when pigs see a butcher who has been slaughtering pigs for many years, their legs will become weak with fright, and their feces and urine will flow. They can feel the wailing and screams of the same kind from the butcher.
Zheng Zheng participated in dozens of battles, big and small.
Hundreds of people were killed in Zaire and Rwanda alone, just like a butcher who slaughtered pigs. To Matthew, who is also black, he was as instinctively surprised as a pig when he saw a butcher. fear.
In two words, it is like a natural enemy, or an irresistible natural enemy.
After sizing up the so-called Minister of Finance, Zheng Zheng's eyes flashed with sarcasm and disgust.
The Minister of Finance is dressed in a military uniform, and he even wears the rank of general, which looks nondescript. The most bizarre thing is that from his chin to his neck, there are all fat traces of fat in lumps and circles. A gold necklace looks particularly dazzling.
It may be because there is no refrigerator here, the dark face is covered with greasy sweat, and as he breathes, it drives the fat around the neck to the face, which looks like a black hair. boar.
What kind of finance minister is this damn...
Having been in Africa for many years, it has long been commonplace to see what is tall and what is long, and I have long lost the awe of all kinds of long when I came out of China.
No way, even some presidents here are not respectable in terms of image and self-cultivation, and are even inferior to the self-cultivation and aura of some county magistrates in their hometown.
If you have to use any metaphor, the idiom "washing the monkey and crowning the crown" is probably the most vivid.
"Listen to my soldier's report, are you looking for me?"
"Yes... yes, you are the leader of the shadows? I am Matthew..."
at the same time.
Shen Jiannan stood in the corridor outside the meeting room, his eyes gleaming brightly.
Zambia has the largest copper deposit in the world, ranking first in the world in terms of content and mining volume. Therefore, it has always been a treasured land pursued by global capital.
Anglo-American has a mining company here, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto have a mining company here, Japan's Sumitomo Mitsubishi has a mining company here, and Glencore, which came from behind, also tried its best to win a mining company here.
But I don't know if it's a load of rice to raise an enemy, but China, which is the most helpful here, can't get mineral resources anyway. It excludes China time and time again, and has become the first anti-China country in Africa.
Now it's fun.
Sumitomo has always had great ambitions. Since Hamanaka Tainan agreed to short Lun Copper in the market, he must have been instructed by Qiushui Yamashita. With the ability of the Sumitomo consortium, some mining companies will not hold this feast until they go bankrupt.
At that time, I can help those mining companies set a price.
Putting down the cigarette butt, Shen Jiannan strode back to the meeting room. If Zheng Zheng could understand what he meant, he should be able to make a fortune this time.
"Brother Shen. In this way, Yunnan Copper takes a step back, 30.00% five. They are responsible for the planning of the preliminary project, including the recruitment of workers, the transportation of equipment, the scheduling of technicians and engineers, etc."
Shen Jiannan stayed outside for a full 15 minutes, which made Shen Zhi's heart pounding. When Shen Jiannan opened the door and came in, he hurriedly said.
There is no way, people are poor and short-sighted.
If this happens because the shares cannot be negotiated, it will be a big loss.
Shen Jiannan felt that it was ridiculous. If Zheng Zheng could win the Zambian copper mine as he expected, the price that Shen Zhi would have to pay for the whole package would probably be enough for the other side.
Not to mention anything else, it is construction machinery, technicians, and engineers. If these resources are obtained from the outside, they will cost a huge number.
But if Yunnan Copper takes care of itself as the shopkeeper, the peace of mind will not be measured by money.
Different angles, different thinking.
In Shen Jiannan's eyes, human resources and experience in mining and processing are very expensive, but for the Yunnan Copper and his team, these are probably the least valuable.
As far as the reserves of Yunnan Copper are concerned, they simply cannot withstand many years of mining. If foreign resources can be obtained, it will be a long-term plan.As Shen Zhi's words fell to the ground, everyone on Yuntong's side looked at Shen Jiannan expectantly, with Xiji's eyes like an honest man sticking out his head and waiting to be slaughtered.
In this regard, Shen Jiannan somewhat understands why state-owned enterprises are always cheated by foreign capital in this era.
It's not that these people are not smart enough, or that they are impatient. After all, it's all about poverty.
But in business talk business, if you don't suffer, you will learn a lesson.
Shen Jiannan knocked on the table, with a hint of dissatisfaction evident on his face.
"Director Shen, Mr. Fang. Don't you think it's too dark? The value of the Kangkla Copper Mine alone is 6000 million US dollars. I just received a call that Zambia is still interested in selling the Lunmwana Copper Mine. The value of the copper mine is at least [-] million US dollars.
How much is the mechanical equipment worth?
Even if I arrange people to purchase this book, do I need 500 million US dollars? "
"Mr. Shen, what you said is right, but it's also not right. The so-called cooperation benefits both. Yunnan Copper has the most complete industrial management experience, and the training of technical personnel alone is a huge investment, not to mention, Maintenance of machinery and equipment, smelting, processing and sales, and other channels all require a lot of investment.”
"Technical personnel? Is the salary 600 yuan a month? And engineers, is the salary [-] yuan a month? You can also see my sincerity. You can't fool me like this."
"This......"
All of a sudden, Yuntong's people were put to death.
Isn't it.
In terms of labor costs, labor costs can't be used as a bargaining chip at all.
Even if it takes 1000 people, it's not worth a lot of money.
When the negotiations between Shen Jiannan and Yunnan Copper reached an impasse, the negotiations between Lukasa First Security and Matthew also reached an impasse.
"You guys are robbing. The Lunmwana Copper Mine has a reserve of [-] million tons, all of which are high-grade ores of [-]%. The Australian company Equinox was willing to mine it for [-] million US dollars before, and it is worth [-] million US dollars. Understand. "
Like a furious gorilla, Matthew slapped the table fiercely and growled at the little Kurishenko who was negotiating for Zheng Zheng.
He really hated the damn white guy.
When he opened his mouth, in addition to the Kangkla copper mine, Lunmwana was added, which was darker than his heart.
Little Kurishenko was unmoved by this, he made a gentleman's apology to Matthew.
"Mr. Minister of Finance, the 200 million US dollars you mentioned was before. Now, I think this copper mine is only worth [-] million US dollars. Do you think this amount of money is enough to pay our employment expenses?"
"Damn bastard, what did you say? Two million dollars?"
"Oh, Mr. Matthew, please don't get excited. Before you came, David's people had already come, and they promised that if we help them defeat you and your big brother, they are willing to use Conkra Copper Mine plus Lunmwana Gamo Pani Copper Mine to pay us."
Chapter 43 Little Kurishenko's Secret
Threats, outright threats.
Three months ago, serious military uprisings broke out in Zaire and Rwanda.
In order to suppress the rebel army, the Zaire government army won the war internationally by inviting the American MMP company to organize.
During that battle, Shadow International, the second-level contractor under the mercenary organization, became famous.
Contractor is a title.
It refers to a mercenary organization that contracts a certain area or a certain task on the battlefield.
In essence, they belong to private military armed forces, and because they are close to contracting and contracting in economic construction, they have this name.
Zaire is the first-level contractor who sends out the task, and the private military armed organization that undertakes the employment task is the first-level contractor.
When the first-level contractor sends out the task, the next organization is the second-level contractor. This contracting and contracting can be extended indefinitely, which is basically the same as labor contract dispatching and contracting.
Mercenaries are people too, and mercenaries have to support their families.
So generally speaking, when any contractor contracts a task, the purpose is to make money.
But the strange thing is that there is a secondary contractor called Shadow International under the MMP, and it seems that it is not for making money at all.
The individual equipment in this mercenary is simply more luxurious than the equipment of the Navy Seals.
The equipment on each person's body totaled almost more than [-] US dollars.
The price of a specially made night vision device is [-] US dollars, and the price of bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets and special operations uniforms has also reached tens of thousands of US dollars.Even the boots they wear are Magnum combat boots, but the price of a pair of boots is nearly two thousand dollars.
Coupled with various firearms, daggers, backpacks and other combat tools, it is simply a luxurious warehouse that can move.
Even the world's top Barrett sniper rifle, the Shadow, is also equipped, and its price is ten thousand dollars.Adding up the odds and zeros, the individual equipment of Shadow International is close to [-] US dollars. This figure is simply staggering.
Mercenaries risk their lives to fight, not just to make a living.
