Chapter 381 Chaos, Smuggling
This demonstration was led by people from the French phosphate industry chain, and others followed suit.
They took the lead because they had the strongest assets. However, although the individual assets of the following group of people were incomparable to theirs, they couldn't handle the large number of people!
The total assets far exceed theirs!
These people are divided into many industries, some are engaged in transportation, some are doing warehousing, some are doing shipping, some are doing customs clearance, some are doing vegetable business, some are doing handicrafts, some are doing light processing... Not to mention all kinds of things, involved
There are even more industries.
For example, those engaged in transportation will be involved in car maintenance...
Therefore, they are the main force of the parade and the foundation of this grand parade!
Now, these people are also divided.
Sean's instruction to Moulay Sheedy was to differentiate first.
The confiscated assets can be selectively returned to them after investigation, but this matter cannot be discussed together.
After all, confiscation is not just a sentence, it is accomplished by the cooperation of many people throughout Morocco. Even if it is a government department doing things, the benefits must be divided.
Of course, it would be impossible to negotiate one by one. In the end, Morocco divided eight industries and negotiated by industry. The French had no choice but to keep up.
After differentiation comes alliance, allowing the eight industry people to negotiate with the people from the 'mining industry' when the negotiation progress reaches 90%. This is called dividing one group, wooing another group, and fighting another group!
It’s all the wisdom of the ancients!
What Moulay Sheedi admired was that he was full of admiration. It's not that the leaders of a country don't understand anything, nor that they have no vision. It can only be said that they have limitations.
Although they hold high positions, the environment they live in is indeed limited. Their international position is at the lower level. Therefore, even if the scope they can see is very far, it is not wide enough.
Every time the Moroccans come to the negotiating table, they are at an absolute disadvantage. This is the first time that they are so confident and have set the tone for the entire negotiation before they come to the negotiating table.
The feeling is just one word, cool!!
What are golden thighs? Now in the eyes of Moroccans, Sean has golden thighs, the kind of pure gold.
In contrast, in the eyes of the French mining company, Sean is a 'demon', a demon who wants to eat them in one bite without even spitting out their bones.
Now, businessmen in other industries in France are putting pressure on them, government departments are putting pressure on them in order to calm down the impact of this incident as soon as possible, and even the military is putting pressure on them.
After a confrontation exercise at sea, both the French and Spanish militaries recognized the combat effectiveness of the Umbrella Company. Then, even if they knew that the two parties would not really conflict, they still had to enter a state of combat readiness and become completely nervous.
Just like the confrontation between Rabbit and Eagle Sauce on the southeast coast, it's like shouting slogans while purchasing red flag soldiers...
…
(PS: Don’t think about it, it’s really the plot, there is no metaphor, thank you!)
In a large suite of a five-star hotel in Geneva, a dozen men with serious faces gathered in the room, which was filled with smoke.
Representatives of 3 fertilizer processing plants, 5 ore selection companies, and 4 mining companies.
The situation turned completely beyond the French's expectations.
The door to the bedroom inside was pushed open, and a man walked in. He frowned at the smoky air but didn't say anything. He didn't care about these things now.
"I've called you all here today for a discussion. There's a lot of pressure on us from all sides. You know, everyone wants us to focus on the overall situation, so we need to talk to that gentleman."
Here, Sean’s name is replaced by ‘that person’. No one wants to mention this name, which is annoying.
"Damn it, the overall situation is more important!" A director of a mining company cursed viciously: "Damn it, these idiots, they only know how to surrender, surrender!"
A Frenchman scolded another group of Frenchmen for surrendering too quickly, haha.
"Talk to that guy." A group of people said at once.
"What's there to talk about? That guy has such a big appetite, and he can still give up all the meat."
"Then we have to talk, and we have to talk as soon as possible. We are in big trouble!" The man who finally walked in and called Henry said coldly.
He is a shareholder of the Edwin Mining Company and is the richest and highest-status of all the people here.
"Trouble, what kind of trouble is there? Our property in Morocco has been swallowed up by others, what kind of trouble is there?" asked one person with a puzzled look on his face.
"It's a big trouble. Maybe our industries in France will be damaged." Henry sighed, raised his hands and rubbed his face, "It's so unlucky. I never thought we would be so unlucky.
Now it is no longer just an industry problem in Morocco, we are being taken advantage of!!"
"Explain what's going on!" The others looked at each other and asked eagerly.
"I just received a call that someone attacked our mines and factories in Morocco, using rocket launchers and firing more than a dozen rounds."
"Ah??" Everyone in the room looked confused and had extremely weird expressions. What does this mean?
“Why would someone attack a factory in Morocco, and who?”
"Isn't the factory eaten by that person? Why are we still suffering losses?"
"Does anyone think we attacked our factory?"
"Yes, that's it." Henry shook his head with a wry smile, and pointed at everyone present, "Some of the evidence left at the scene points to us. To be precise, we are unhappy that the person robbed our property and that it was stolen by our countrymen.
Forced, some people took revenge in anger."
"Uh..." Everyone looked at each other in confusion. To be honest, they had really had this thought. If their reason hadn't told them that the guy was ruthless, and it was a Moroccan, they would definitely take revenge.
"Okay, don't read it. It wasn't our people who did it, it was someone else. They didn't want the peace talks to end so soon." Henry said.
"No, what's going on? Why do I feel that the factory was robbed? I am an outsider in this matter. Nothing has anything to do with me. I can't understand anything." One person asked irritably, and the others asked.
Everyone also looked at Henry.
Why doesn't anyone want the peace talks to succeed?
Those who suffered losses hope that the negotiations will be concluded as soon as possible and they will get back their assets in Morocco, even in part.
The government also hopes that the matter will end as soon as possible. There is great pressure on public security and social pressure. The people are very dissatisfied with the sharp increase in the prices of seasonal vegetables and fruits. This government is under great pressure.
The military also hopes to end it as soon as possible and return to normalcy.
Even they want this nonsense to end, and they believe that the Moroccans don’t want to continue, so who doesn’t want it to end?
"I just got a set of data. You will understand as soon as I tell you that since the complete cessation of commercial transactions, the prices of seasonal fruits and vegetables in the southern region have increased three times on average, and increased five times at the peak. Consumption has increased year-on-year.
20%.”
"Wait a minute, I can understand you saying that prices have increased. Why has the amount of consumables increased so much?" One person was confused.
"Because the prices of things have increased, everyone and all the people know that there is a shortage of fruits and vegetables now, and people will rush to buy them as soon as they are available in the market. Everyone thinks that eating fruits and vegetables at this time is more fashionable, more precious, and can better reflect their living standards and show off.
worth."
"Even those children who don't like to eat vegetables on weekdays started to eat them, understand!" Henry said with a depressed look: "In addition, the transportation channels are not smooth, and the rate of rot and damage on the road has increased, so the consumption is higher than
It’s normal and high.”
"But, damn, what does this have to do with us?" Everyone looked at Henry with puzzled faces.
"It's huge!" Henry's expression changed from anger to helplessness, from pain to decadence, and finally he sighed heavily, "Do you know how many people there are in the south of France?"
Everyone:???
If Henry hadn't been the highest-ranking person on the scene, everyone would have jumped up and given Henry a good beating. They hate it when someone speaks confusingly.
"Don't look at me like that, I don't want to, but it's very complicated, understand!" Before anyone could answer, Henry continued: "Last year's census, there were 57.3 million people in France, and a total of 24 million people lived in southern France.
.”
"As we all know, the main supplier of vegetables consumed by these people daily is Morocco."
France has plains and is rich in wheat, which is exported to Morocco in large quantities. However, France does not produce vegetables, and local vegetables are very expensive.
The reason is that wheat can be mechanized on a large scale, and one person can manage hundreds of acres, keeping the price of food very low, but growing vegetables cannot!
There is no way to drive a tractor into the vegetable field to harvest cucumbers, and neither can tomatoes!
The same goes for fruits. You can’t cut down fruit trees and suck away all the fruits at once!
It takes a long time from the time vegetables can be picked to completely finished. They can be picked every day. This work can only be done manually, which requires a large number of people. 50% of Morocco's population is engaged in agriculture-related work.
Labor occupies a particularly large part of the production cost of vegetables and fruits. Therefore, vegetables and fruits in developed countries or regions have always been more expensive than cattle.
The poorer the place, the cheaper fruits and vegetables are.
Therefore, we will find that the places that export vegetables and fruits have always been economically backward areas.
Just listen to Henry say: "Have you ever calculated how many vegetables are consumed in southern France every day? We don't mention fruits, only vegetables."
Everyone shook their heads. They were in the fertilizer-related business and no one cared about this.
"Let me tell you, 24 million people, assuming that no one consumes 250 grams per day, consume 6,000 tons per day, and this does not include waste."
"So, now that the two sides have stopped trading, where will the fruits and vegetables needed by the southern region come from?" Henry spread his hands helplessly, "These are fruits and vegetables. This is not bread, not a car, and it cannot be mobilized from anywhere.
The seasonal fruits and vegetables that come from the source need to grow, they need time, and even the transportation time is fixed. As they grow, they will no longer be fresh, and the price will be several times different, so it is impossible for us to change the source of production."
Several people shook their heads again. At this time, everyone's expressions became serious, and there was a vague feeling in their hearts.
"Calculate, if you calculate 6,000 tons, do you know how much the extra double profit is? According to this figure, it is 12 million. In fact, the number I got is that the daily consumption is more than 7,000 tons. This industry chain earns an extra 1,500 yuan a day.
Ten thousand!"
"Including fruits, the total is no less than 20 million!"
"This is every day, my friends, do you know that this is faster than earning money from drugs? After all, not everyone wants to eat drugs, but vegetables and fruits are different!"
"And how did these fruits and vegetables enter southern France when commercial activities were completely suspended?"
"Smuggling!" one person said subconsciously.
"Yes, smuggling!" Henry nodded, "There are a large number of people smuggling fruits and vegetables in the Mediterranean now, but we all know that the French military has deployed a lot of troops in the Mediterranean, especially during this time the military has entered a state of high tension.
, but in this state, how did those damn ships transporting vegetables and fruits pass through the naval defense line?"
"Are those smuggling ships with a carrying capacity of hundreds or thousands of tons invisible, so the navy's various radars cannot find them?"
"No, it's because the profits are too huge and many people are making a fortune in this newly emerged industrial chain."
"From the military to the docks, from customs to the police, from government officials to the mafia, it is a huge and complex industrial chain. More than 10 people die every day because of struggles in this industrial chain!"
Henry waved his arms excitedly, "They, they don't like the end of the blockade the most, because once the blockade is opened, their business will not be able to do 20 million US dollars a day!"
"No one wants to stop, these people are crazy now, counting money like crazy."
"Now tell me, for such a large sum of money, will anyone take the risk and go to Morocco to cause destruction?"
Everyone gasped... the smoke, the smoke that was originally lingering in the city suddenly became a lot clearer.
This is simply too possible!
This is not like a widespread drug. A fixed industrial chain has been formed for decades. Now it is a windfall. Whoever can seize it will make more money one day longer.
"Everyone knows that we don't want to compromise and want to get the property back from that person, even if it's just a part." Henry looked around, "Well, I thought so too half an hour ago."
"Now, friends, we are in big trouble. The smugglers have framed us, but we have no evidence to refute it."
"So, we must end this matter as soon as possible if we don't want to become everyone's enemy and then be abandoned by everyone and become a scapegoat."
The atmosphere in the room was very depressing, and everyone looked ugly. There were big figures in the industry in this room, all of them were quite rich, and they were all at the highest level of the company where they could speak.
Not to mention that smuggling has nothing to do with them. Even if it is put in front of them, they will not touch it. If they can make 1 million legally, they will never make 5 million illegally.
Because the 1 million can be earned continuously, but the 5 million will probably send him to prison, and he will never have the chance to earn another million.
Risk and profit are not proportional.
But they were put on the fire and roasted. Everyone wanted to cut a piece of meat from them, so it was strange that they were in a good mood.
The most important thing is that they didn't offend anyone, but they just became the delicacy on the table that everyone coveted for no reason.
"Talk, we must talk, we must clarify. This matter has nothing to do with us. Even if there is no evidence, we must clarify." A guy slapped the table hard and said with an ugly expression.
"Yes, we must clarify and find those smugglers. I will send them all to prison."
"Don't think about smuggling." Henry shook his head, "You are angry now. When you calm down, you will know that there is nothing you can do. There are too many people involved, and no one dares to move. Most of them are not professionals.
, they don’t understand what it means to shut up.”
"Once they are caught, they will say anything to reduce their sentences. In the end, everyone will be implicated. The result is that the underground world will be in chaos, the customs will be in chaos, the military will be in chaos, the government will be in chaos, everything will be in chaos, causing chaos.
The impact will be several times or even higher than what it is now.”
"Therefore, anyone with a little political wisdom will never dare to investigate further. For the government, this matter can only be ignored!"
"It doesn't matter what's right or wrong!"
This is politics. There is no right or wrong in politics. The fundamental purpose of government employees is to make society operate smoothly and orderly, and everything must revolve around this.
Right or wrong, good or evil, that is God’s business and has nothing to do with the government!
You can't mess up society just because of a simple issue of right or wrong, otherwise you will just be found out and thrown into an alley, or simply sent to death!
"How do I go to talk to that person?" Someone brought the topic back.
"We need a middleman."
"Moroccan?"
"Don't think about it, they are just a bunch of puppets."
"Find the military!" Henry whispered.
"Ah? Isn't that right? Didn't they start fighting? I heard from people in the military that they didn't hold back during the exercise. Moreover, the entire exercise was reported to the highest level and received great attention."
"I got the news that the military exercise is indeed real, but it is also true that they had contact in private. Normally, the military's original alert level should not be so high, but these two are pushing for an increase in the alert level.
." Henry whispered: "There is a problem here. I don't know the specific situation, but there is an invisible tacit understanding between the two parties."
The matter was settled like that, but they did not go directly to the door. Instead, they discussed it and asked someone to call Thompson Alves.
Sure enough, Thompson Alves agreed to help say hello to Sean.
…
The next day, Henry and his group of 12 people took a plane to Morocco, Casablanca.
Sean was indeed in Geneva a few days ago, but factories and mines were attacked, so Sean went back to Casablanca to deal with it.
As early as 1920, when Morocco was still a French colony, the first phosphate mining company established was headquartered in Casablanca. The first mining area built at that time was the Khouribga mining area, and the ore was directly shipped to France at the port of Casablanca.
Casablanca has a population of 5 million, more than double the population of the capital Rabat.
In the villa manor sent by Moulay Sheedy on the outskirts of the city, Sean met with Henry and his party.
The vehicle stopped and the group of people got out of the car and were stopped at the door of the villa.
Search him. Don't worry about who these people are or how rich they are. Now is an extraordinary period. Someone has just targeted his factory and mining area. Of course, Sean must check strictly.
Of course, there is no need for Sean to order this kind of thing, Torre will arrange it.
However, body searches are a bit unacceptable to the proud French. When will French people be searched in Morocco?
These people have been domineering in Morocco for decades. Even if they visit the king, they will not be searched. The long-term habit makes them very angry, but in order to negotiate, they must see Sean...
They had no intention of talking nonsense to a group of inferior security guards who had no right to make any decisions. In their minds, this was what Sean had arranged, and the purpose was just to humiliate them.
A group of people with dark faces allowed themselves to be searched, and then they were taken to the living room.
When they arrived in the living room, no one greeted them, and no one even brought them a cup of coffee. They just sat there, feeling increasingly angry and uncomfortable.
Having been robbed of their property, squeezed out by their own people, framed and framed, they not only have nowhere to redress their grievances, they also have to find the culprit who robbed them to explain the situation...
It's not an exaggeration to say that I'm groveling, I'm so angry.
It took half an hour for Sean to come downstairs. To be honest, he really didn't mean to leave these people alone.
Morocco is not Cesar, Casablanca is not Laayoune, and Sean cannot block all the middle and senior management of mining groups and chemical plants.
When he took over, most of the middle-level, senior-level and technical staff were gone. Their personal safety was in danger, and the company had no way of forcing employees to take risks.
They are a serious company, and they are not as tyrannical as the boss of some private security company who wishes to remain anonymous.
Therefore, when Sean took over, it was in a mess, and production was basically stagnant. The reason why he stayed in Morocco, in addition to helping Moulay Sheidi, was to reorganize the company.
As a result, the company was attacked the day before yesterday. He was really busy, providing pensions for the injured, appeasing personnel, repairing equipment, and resuming production...
Walking down the stairs, Lorraine followed Sean. Henry and others looked up, and the faces of several French people became even more ugly.
They were waiting downstairs, and this one was still playing with women upstairs!
Lorraine is indeed the secretary, and she is indeed beautiful and charming, so it is really normal for them to think so.
Walking to the main seat of the sofa, Sean sat down, crossed his legs, looked around and finally landed on Henry, but before he could speak, a voice full of resentment and ridicule sounded, "Mr. Sean's villa
The security is really strict, even guests have to be searched. Oh, I’m really afraid of death. Is it because there are too many enemies?”
Sean opened his mouth and swallowed back what he was about to say. He looked up and down at the speaker. He was about 50 years old. His hair and beard were neatly trimmed. Even though it was windy and sandy here, he still looked so polished and neat. At first glance, he was among the social elite.
Elite.
Henry wanted to stop him, but gave up after thinking about it. In negotiations, even if he was in a weak position, he couldn't just surrender immediately. He could just test it out.
Sean sighed, "I don't like your tone."
