American TV series

The people from Hafei left and went back with the Chinese team. They wanted to go back and discuss the matter of opening a branch in Morocco.

This is a very serious matter.

In recent years, the export products of the East that can be exchanged for foreign exchange are mainly agricultural products. In the 1980s, it was the farmers who saved the East.

Although China is far from having enough food and clothing.

Rice, flour, cotton, pigs, poultry, eggs...

In addition, there are a large number of rural handicrafts, silk flowers, cork paintings, bamboo weaving products, latte art...

Except for hand-made agricultural products, including petroleum and minerals, there are very few high value-added industrial products, which are very unhealthy and have no future from an economic point of view.

On the same level as Morocco...

The person who is currently purchasing large quantities of industrial products in the east is Sean, or to be more precise, Jeff the High Sparrow.

The High Sparrow not only controlled the 'street offices' in northern Colombia, but also established a trading company.

It was established because I previously supported the Decap armed forces and found that walking tractors were very suitable for Colombia.

At present, not only walking tractors are imported, but also a large number of maintenance and processing tools.

Various pliers, wrenches, saws...including machetes!

Don't get me wrong, it's not about killing people, it really isn't.

It is to chop agricultural products such as coconuts, bananas, and sugar cane.

Jeff, the largest mafia leader in northern Colombia, is engaged in legal and serious business, while Sean, a serious businessman, is engaged in illegal underground military gangs...

The difference is that Jeff's people will try their best to keep the price as low as possible when importing, while Sean will take the initiative to increase the price.

So, is it better for the East to do legal business or illegal business?

The problem facing the Hafei people is this.

The condition Sean gave was to set up a joint venture to sell Hafei cars in Morocco.

From the east's perspective, Sean can completely import from the east and sell it in Morocco. There is no need to engage in any joint venture. The government will help promote it. The east believes that the effect will be very good.

Although the people at Hafei are not optimistic that their cars will achieve high sales in Morocco,

Well, the embassy is not optimistic either, but for different reasons.

However, promoting cooperation is necessary.

The Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Ministry of Industry, the top leaders of HLJ, and Harbin Aircraft Corporation are conducting urgent consultations with multiple parties to come up with a cooperation plan as soon as possible. Sean urged them urgently.

I can count up to hundreds of thousands per minute, how can I waste so much time with you?

It's a consultation, a discussion. It's not a meeting.

There is a strange phenomenon: meetings with many people are not important, important meetings with few people, large meetings are held to solve small problems, small meetings are held to solve big problems, meetings are not held to solve key problems, and meetings are always held when problems are not solved.

In the final analysis, the value of a meeting is determined by the number of people attending it.

Remember, it is not directly proportional, but inversely proportional!

…

While having a quick discussion in the east and setting the tone, Sean was not idle either. The last time he hurriedly returned to the United States was because of the reorganization of the Umbrella Company, there were still many things that had not been dealt with here.

The first thing is to find the Frenchman Thompson Alves.

This was the second time the two parties met. The last time was on the yacht. Sean kicked down two lockers of U.S. dollars.

In the end, no cash was given. Those were too rough, and at their level they couldn't do such transactions.

Money is not the most important thing to Thompson Alves, and he cannot take any money.

Sean only showed sincerity. In fact, the report he gave was through the French assets seized and confiscated by Morocco.

Thompson Alves' nephew opened a foreign trade company and took away large quantities of goods at low prices from warehouses confiscated by Moroccan officials, shipping them ship by ship.

Of course, the Spaniards also opened a company there and took away a lot of goods.

These are all things that companies in France paid for but disappeared during the seizure. Don’t ask why they disappeared or where they disappeared to.

Those companies in France would be very happy if they could get their companies back, and only those who have no brains would trace the whereabouts of a batch of goods.

The two companies each took away goods worth about 30 million yuan. Sean's team calculated that the two companies could each earn about 8 million yuan.

The total amount of goods seized before and after is about 300 million, and many people will participate in the carving up later, both French and Spanish. The efforts of so many people in the later period to promote the reconciliation between the two sides are not in vain.

Of course, the starting point is to consider the issue from the perspective of the country. Economic blockade is not beneficial to anyone.

Whether you should verbally scold or scold, and whether you should actually promote negotiations or promote negotiations, this is similar to the saying, "Being anti-American is work, going to the United States is life."

But this has nothing to do with Sean, and he doesn't have to pay for it.

This time Sean came to see Thompson Alves to communicate with him about Libya. After all, he was providing military personnel to Cardano to fight against Chad under French protection, so he wanted to communicate privately.

After chatting for a while, we talked about French food, and then from food to Africa. Naturally, we talked about Chad and Cardano.

"Colonel Card is still very motivated. I estimate that in less than two months, Colonel will be able to push the front back to the central region of Chad again. Well, within five months, he will push the front again to the central region of Chad." Sean smiled and drank the wine.

He took a sip and said with a smile.

Thompson Alves pondered for a moment and asked in a confused manner: "Why?"

"We have analyzed Ka Dazuo's personality and judged that it is best to find something for him to do, to make him nervous and busy." Sean smiled and spread his hands, "You know, when a person is free,

When you wake up, you will think too much and it will be more troublesome."

Thompson Alves nodded. He understood the United States' considerations, and for France, it was obviously not a good thing for Chad to be too peaceful. "Indeed, these black Africans are too lazy."

As he spoke, Thompson Alves stirred the mushroom soup with a spoon, "They will only find a place to lie down during the day, or they will hide in the house to mate. They will not go to work without a whip, you give

They plant seeds for them, and they only eat the seeds instead of scattering them on the ground. Once they are full, these black people are so happy that they are crazy and feel that they are the kings of the world."

"I have always felt that they are like uncivilized chimpanzees. There are hundreds or thousands of chimpanzees in a group, and the leader has the highest mating rights."

"Besides mating and eating, I just hide in a cool place to sleep or play, and scratch each other's parasites, well, that's all!"

Sean burst out laughing when Thompson Alves said, "Okay, man, I already have a picture in my mind. You said it is indeed very vivid."

"I'm not a racist. You know, there are many black people in France and there are many in the army." Thompson Alves spread his hands helplessly, "But this is what the indigenous black people in Africa are really like. I am in Africa

I was stationed for a long time and I conducted an experiment, you know!"

"Say." Sean became interested.

"I arranged for some black men from the French army to come out to train the local armed personnel and teach them knowledge, from basic language to basic military capabilities." As he said, Thompson Alves looked very strange, "I went through a long process

Observing time, yes, I found that it was like a circus teaching a group of orangutans to juggle."

"They know that this knowledge is useful, but they just don't learn it. They sleep during class, chat, play, or simply stay late and sleep in the room."

"Then I ordered to give them only half of the food, and only those who learned how to eat could eat. You can't imagine the result."

"Oh, are they starting to study hard?" Sean looked curious, really curious.

"No, they chose to sleep more and reduce their activity so that they would not be so hungry!" Thompson Alves waved his arms angrily.

Hahahaha, Sean laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. After a long while, he said: "Then what?"

"Then I ordered the students not to be given any food!" Thompson Alves gritted his teeth.

"Okay, now they will start learning, right?" Sean shook his head and smiled.

"Wrong, absolutely wrong!" Thompson Alves took a deep breath and said in an extremely calm tone: "They ran away and ran back to the village overnight."

"Pfft, hahahaha!" Sean laughed and slipped out of the chair. Damn it, is it really so exaggerated?

Sean didn’t know much about Africa, especially Africa at this time in the 1980s. It would be 30 years before there was more information about Africa.

In Africa in the 1980s, the main labor force and those fighting the war were those born in the 1950s and 1960s, who lived in the colonial era.

No one can expect Africans to have any enthusiasm for labor during the colonial period, because no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to get rid of your status as a black slave.

There is absolutely no way.

Coupled with Africa's geographical environment and climate environment, working three hours a day is their pursuit.

You don't need a house, you can just use thatch and yellow mud that can be found everywhere to build a dome hut. The main purpose of the hut is to prevent sunlight and ventilate. It doesn't matter whether it leaks or not.

You don't need very good clothes, just a pair of trousers, even a piece of cloth wrapped around it is enough.

They don't need to be full, as long as they are not hungry, they have a custom of planting a tree, a local fruit tree, in the yard or nearby after giving birth.

They are too lazy to breed a few more, there is absolutely no need.

If there are no assets, there is no need for protection. If there is no upward path, there is no need for learning. Just be happy!

Africa will have to wait until the post-80s and even post-90s rise to see changes. Well, just a little bit.

It wasn't until Sean sat down again that Thompson Alves continued: "Finally, I ordered the soldiers to capture all the people, and then forced them to train with guns. If they didn't train well, I would whip them hard.

Like a slave."

"Why do we have to teach them?" Sean asked curiously.

"After all, I can't expect a small number of French soldiers to complete all the work, and it doesn't look good. They are an independent country, and of course they have to manage it themselves. Otherwise, I would think France is going to colonize." Thompson Alves pouted.

, "It's actually those chiefs who don't seem independent,"

"I've always been curious why they don't want to be independent."

"Isn't it good to be able to enjoy a comfortable life without having to worry about anything? Why do we need to be independent? After independence, we won't still be managing our own tribe, so what's the difference from now? We still have to worry about so many things." Thompson Ya

Ervis cursed hard before saying: "Those old guys look stupid and have no knowledge, but they are cunning. They understand that only by maintaining the status quo can they maintain their family's rule, not any nonsense.

independent."

The 1960s and 1970s in Africa were very interesting. Some countries did not want independence from France, but they resisted fiercely. However, many countries in Central and West Africa resisted independence.

There are many such countries, and even after decades they are unwilling to become independent, becoming a burden that the suzerain country cannot get rid of...

For example, the Netherlands Antilles, such as French Polynesia, there are too many.

Take Polynesia as an example. The four neighboring countries that have achieved independence are Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and Tuvalu. The combined GDP per capita of the four countries is 87% of that of French Polynesia. The per capita GDP of Polynesia is US$23,000, which is crazy.

Want to be independent?

If you can, beat me to death. If you can't beat me to death, I will never be independent!

Love so much!

"Okay, primitive wisdom, right?" Sean actually understands why France or some European countries want these regions to be independent.

These areas do not have their own culture and heritage. Their civilization is still in the primitive tribal period. They will not be able to become an independent country even if they are given the opportunity.

After forcing them to become independent, the colonists would not lose the opportunity to plunder wealth and get rid of the responsibilities and burdens that managers need to bear.

Only take benefits, take no responsibility, perfect!

Just like feudalism replaced slavery, capitalism replaced feudalism.

More advanced governance methods make exploitation more convenient, more covert, and can be cloaked in a benevolent cloak.

Of course, there are some countries that have a strong sense of independence, such as Niger, Libya, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan, etc.

Then let them go with the flow and let them become independent, and then promote civil war or war with neighboring countries. You can still maintain control and influence. There are many methods.

Thompson Alves talked a lot about his impressions of Africa. Of course, this was not just to vent, but to express an attitude.

France, including its capital, also wants chaos in Chad, as long as this chaos remains under their control.

They do not want Chad to invest national revenue in education, people's livelihood, and infrastructure. It would be better to invest the funds in the battlefield.

It can recycle funds through military gangs while keeping Chad's status quo and dependence, which is good.

Thompson Alves also suggested that Niger could join the melee. Niger also had a grudge against the Libyan leader.

Cardazou supports the independence of the Tuareg people, who are also white Mediterranean people and believe in YSL. Niger, which is ruled by black people, is determined to attack the Tuareg people. The two sides have been fighting for decades.

Oh, by the way, contrary to the Arabs, the Tuareg are a matriarchal society, where children take their mother's surname, women do not wear veils and men wear veils.

"Okay, I don't care, but what benefits can I get? Is there anything worth investing in Niger? I remember they are very poor. They are the poorest country in the world like Chad?" Sean tilted his head and thought for a moment.

"We are very poor, but that doesn't mean there are no investment projects." Thompson Alves said with a smile: "Yes, and there are many."

"Niger is rich in grain and livestock, and there are also many domestic minerals."

"Food? Livestock?" Sean looked incredulous, "Aren't they a desert area?"

"You're talking about the north. The south is dominated by savannahs and rainforests, and the forest resources are very rich. Of course, I'm talking about now. Sooner or later they will cut them all down. Those chimpanzees don't understand what it means to protect forest resources." Thompson

Alves shrugged, "That's why I say war is necessary, very necessary!"

"They are so fertile that they spend a lot of time mating every day. They reproduce like crazy but cannot provide labor. If you don't want the trouble to expand, the best way is to quickly consume the population through war. There is no way. It has been done since ancient times.

This method."

As he spoke, Thompson Alves began to complain again, "There are a lot of messy international organizations clamoring to promote medical services in Africa. It's just fucking crazy."

"They don't understand what the consequences will be. The population will explode and they will eat everything they can like black bugs."

Sean could feel that Thompson Alves really hated black Africans, but, "Okay, let's not mention them, let's talk about Niger. I am not interested in food and livestock. What else is there in Niger? I am

Talk about minerals.”

"There is a lot of oil, which is produced in desert areas. It is also rich in uranium ore and gold. By the way..." Thompson Alves pointed at Sean and laughed, "There is also a lot of phosphate ore here, and the reserves are huge.

"

Sean:???

"There are huge reserves of this thing in Africa, but no one wants to explore it." Thompson Alves saw Sean staring, and then he laughed and said: "Don't worry, it won't affect you at all. After all, there are phosphate mines in Morocco.

It’s enough for the whole world to consume. In a place like Niger, where there is no sea transportation and the freight is higher than the value, who can it be mined and sold to? It will not pose a threat to Morocco at all.”

Sean was relieved and said, "Okay, gold, I like gold."

"Who doesn't like it?"

The two casually exchanged some opinions, which were all at the national level and strategic. We will discuss the details later.

After saying this, it’s finally about yourself.

“I remember Chad was rich in cotton and furs,” Sean said with a smile.

Thompson Alves nodded. In fact, Chad's production is not very large. In the West African region controlled by France, 12 of the 18 countries in West Africa produce cotton. The largest cotton producers are Burkina Faso and Mali, followed by

Chad, Central Africa, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Cameroon, Benin, etc.

But it is not important to explain these.

"I am promoting the development of the textile industry in Morocco. Technology and equipment are coming from the United States, using the cheap labor here for processing, and using the convenient sea trade to sell to Europe."

Thompson Alves’ eyes are bright!

What is key information!

A big shot like Sean can make a fortune in just one sentence.

Whether the Thompson-Alves family had a hand in the cotton trade in West Africa or the subsequent trade route from Morocco to Europe, it allowed them to control a legal, sustainable and profitable industry.

Cotton is a daily necessity. This industry can be developed sustainably for 10, 50, or 100 years. It is an industry that can serve as the foundation of the family.

There are too many things to say about cotton, seed cotton and lint cotton, long-staple cotton and fine-staple cotton, saw-tooth cotton and roller cotton, white cotton, yellow cotton, gray cotton and colored cotton...

There are also different grades, different fiber lengths, fiber color, strength, fineness, naturalness, elasticity, moisture absorption, dyeing, impurity content, etc.

The more careful the classification, the more prosperous the industry is. Different countries have different classification standards, and the most widely recognized one is the American standard.

The United States has a history of formulating cotton standards for 80 years. They are classified by color and graded by luster. The cotton standards include upland white cotton standards, colored cotton standards, Pima cotton standards, length standard samples and fineness standard samples, etc.).

Internationally recognized and accepted by the Cotton Standards Conference, it occupies a leading position in the world.

This is not only due to the strength of the United States, but also because the technical level of the American cotton textile industry is sufficiently developed.

Therefore, Sean uses American equipment and technology, combined with Morocco's low-cost labor, coupled with the convenient geographical location of Europe, and with national-level promotion, there is definitely a huge development prospect.

Thompson Alves is very satisfied with the information and financial resources provided by Sean, and Sean is also very happy that Thompson Alves is willing to invest in this area.

Many times, you can’t start an industry just because you know it can make money. Morocco’s conditions are very good in all aspects, but the problem is that the current cotton spinning market is relatively complete.

The cotton in Africa has a fixed digestion place for decades. Now Sean wants to steal business from the Europeans, so the first thing to solve is the supply problem!

This was his intention to win over Thompson Alves. In a war-torn area like Africa, does a French lieutenant general have enough ability to participate in the division of interests?

Answer: Yes!

"I've thought of all the reasons for you!" Sean said with a smile.

"Oh, tell me." Thompson Alves looked at Sean with interest.

"After our investigation, we found that there is forced labor of black people in your cotton production. This is racial discrimination and incompatible with human rights!" Sean said seriously.

At this moment, Sean inherited the fine traditions of the Anglo-Saxons. The souls of his ancestors were possessed by the Anglo-Saxons. He was not fighting alone!

Not alone!

Thompson Alves looked at Sean in shock, how shameless!

Racial discrimination on the left hand, human rights stick on the right hand, two powerful weapons, indestructible!

Sean hasn’t taken the initiative to protect the environment yet!

"When the time comes, we will find a group of black people to march, and I will arrange for interviews and let New Century Media publicize it on a large scale to ensure that they know what it means to be awesome."

“As for how to avoid forced labor?”

Sean said with a serious face: "I think it is a reasonable way to give half of the production to Mr. Thompson Alves for management!"

"Dear, my friend, I don't know what to say, but it's great!" Thompson Alves gave a thumbs up.

It wasn't that he didn't want to get involved in this business before, but it was not easy to get involved in the established profit chain. It wasn't something that could be sold after grabbing some output.

From planting to transportation, from processing to sales, companies hold shares in each other, and their interests are intertwined. If you want to break it, let alone re-establish a complete industrial chain, at least half of the problems must be solved.

But now Sean shows up, American technical equipment, Moroccan state endorsement.

One needs the supply of raw materials, and the other needs the market. This is called an adulterer, a match made in heaven!

The two picked up the wine glasses and touched them lightly, oh yeah!
