America’s Big Hero

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

This is serious business.

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

Although the country is still far from food and clothing.

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

In addition, there are a large number of rural handicrafts, such as silk flowers, cork paintings, bamboo products, garlands...

In addition to agricultural products and handmade products, there are petroleum and mineral products. There are very few high-value-added industrial products, which are very unhealthy and hopeless from an economic point of view.

At the same level as Morocco...

Sean is currently purchasing a large number of industrial products in the east, and more precisely, it is Jeff the Big Sparrow.

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

It was established because it supported the Decap Armed Forces and found that walking tractors are very suitable for Colombia.

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

Pliers of all kinds, wrenches, saws... including a machete!

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

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

Jeff, the biggest mafia boss in northern Colombia, is doing a legitimate and decent business, and Sean, a serious businessman, is doing an illegal underground army...

The difference, 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, for the East, is legal business or illegal business better?

This is the problem facing Hafei people.

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

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

Although the people of Hafei are not optimistic about the high sales volume of their cars in Morocco,

I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute, how can I waste so much time with you guys!

It is consultation, it is discussion. Not a meeting.

There is a strange phenomenon, meetings with many people are not important, important meetings are not many people, small meetings are held to solve small problems, small meetings are held to solve big problems, no meetings are 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 who attend the meeting.

Remember, it is not a direct ratio, but an inverse ratio!

...

While discussing quickly in the east and setting the tone, Sean was not idle. The last time he hurried back to the United States was because of the reorganization of the umbrella company. There are still many things that have not been dealt with here.

The first is to find the Frenchman Thompson Alves.

This is the second time the two sides met. The last time it was on a yacht, Sean kicked down two cabinets of dollars.

In the end, no cash was given. Those were too rough, and they couldn't trade like this at their level.

Money is not the most important thing to Thompson Alves, he cannot take everything.

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

The nephew of Thompson Alves opened a foreign trade company, and took a large amount of goods from the warehouse confiscated by the Moroccan government at a low price, and pulled them one by one.

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

These were paid by those companies in France, but disappeared during the seizure, don't ask why they disappeared, and don't ask where they disappeared.

Those French companies are already very happy to get back the company, and those who have no brains will trace the whereabouts of a batch of goods.

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

The total amount of goods seized before and after was about 300 million, and many people will participate in the carve-up later, all of whom are French and Spaniards. It was not for nothing that so many people promoted the reconciliation of the two parties in the later period.

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

This time Sean came to Thompson Alves to communicate about Libya. After all, he was providing Cadazuo with military personnel to fight against Chad, which was protected by France, so he wanted to communicate privately.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, we chatted about French food, then from food to Africa, and naturally, we talked about Chad and Card Dazzo.

"Da Zuo is still very angry. I estimate that in less than two months, Da Zuo will be able to push back the battle line. Well, within five months, he will push back to the central region of Chad again." Sean smiled and picked up the wine. After taking a sip, he said with a smile.

Thompson Alves pondered for a moment, then asked without end: "Why?"

"We have analyzed the character of Ka Dazuo, and we judged that it is best to find something for him to do, to make him nervous, and to be busy with things." Sean smiled and spread his hands, "You know, when people are free When you wake up, you will think too much, which is more troublesome.”

Thompson Alves nodded, he understood the considerations of the United States, and for France, it is obviously not a good thing that Chad is too peaceful, "Indeed, these black Africans are too lazy."

As he said, Thompson Alves stirred the mushroom soup with a spoon, "They will only find a place to lie down during the day, or hide in the house to mate, and they won't work without a whip. Their seeds let them plant the land, they just eat the seeds, they don't sprinkle them in the ground, and once they are full, these black people are so happy that they feel like they are kings of the world."

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

"Besides mating and eating, they just hide in the shade to sleep or play, and grab each other's parasites, um, that's all!"

Sean laughed out loud at what Thompson Alves said, "Well, buddy, I already have a picture in my mind, you said it is indeed very vivid."

"I'm not a racist, as you know, there are many blacks in France, and there are many in the army." Thompson Alves spread his hands helplessly, "But, African indigenous blacks are really like this, I am in Africa Stationed for a long time, I conducted an experiment, you know!"

"Tell me." Sean became interested.

"I arranged for some blacks in the French army to come out to train the local armed personnel, teaching them knowledge, from basic language to basic military capabilities." Thompson Alves had a very strange expression as he said, "After a long period of time, I Observation over 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, chat and fight during class, or they are late and sleep in the room."

"Then I ordered to give them only half of the food. Only those who have learned can eat. You must not 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 they won't be so hungry!" Thompson Alves waved his arms fiercely angrily.

Hahahaha, Xiao En's stomach hurt from laughing, and he said after a while, "And then?"

"Then I ordered that I won't give you any food!" Thompson Alves gritted his teeth.

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

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

"Pfft, hahahaha!" Sean laughed and slid out of the chair, damn it, is it true or not, is it so exaggerated?

Sean didn't know much about Africa, especially Africa at this time in the 1980s. It was 30 years later when there was more information about Africa.

In Africa in the 1980s, the main labor force and people fighting wars were those born in the 50s and 60s, who lived in the colonial era.

No one can expect Africans in the colonial period to have any labor enthusiasm, because no matter how hard you try, you can never get rid of the status of a black slave.

Absolutely no way.

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

No need for a house, just use thatch and yellow mud that can be found everywhere to make an igloo. The main purpose of the hut is to protect against sun and ventilate, and it doesn’t matter whether it leaks or not.

You don't need fancy clothes, just a pair of trousers, even a piece of cloth around them is enough.

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

They are too lazy to grow a few seeds, it is completely unnecessary.

Without assets, there is no need for protection, and without ascending channels, there is no need to learn, just be happy!

If there is any change in Africa, we will have to wait for the rise of the post-80s and even post-90s before there will be a little change, um, just a little bit.

It wasn't until Sean sat down again that Thompson Alves continued: "In the end, I ordered the soldiers to arrest everyone and force them to train with guns. Treat them like slaves."

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

"After all, I can't expect a small number of French soldiers to do all the work, and it doesn't look good. They are an independent country, of course they have to manage it by themselves, otherwise they think France is going to colonize." Thompson Alves pouted , "actually those chiefs are not as independent,"

"I've always wondered why they didn't want to be independent."

"Isn't it good to enjoy a good life without worrying about anything? Why do you want to be independent? After becoming independent, you will manage your own tribe, so what's the difference from now? There are so many things to worry about." Thompson Ya Elvis cursed fiercely before saying: "Those old guys look stupid and have no knowledge, but they are very cunning, and they understand that only by maintaining the status quo can they maintain their family's rule, not some nonsense independent."

Africa in the 1960s and 1970s was very interesting. Some countries, France did not want them to be independent, but they resisted fiercely, while many countries in Central and West Africa resisted independence.

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

Like the Netherlands Antilles, like French Polynesia, too many.

Take Polynesia as an example. The four neighboring countries that have completed independence are Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and Tuvalu. The combined per capita GDP of the four countries is 87% of that of French Polynesia. The per capita of Polynesia is 23,000 US dollars, which is crazy. Want to be independent?

If you have the ability, you can kill me, if you can't, I will never be independent!

I love it!

"Well, 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 inheritance, and their civilization is still in the primitive tribal period, and they will not be able to become an independent country if given a chance.

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

Only take benefits, no responsibility, perfect!

Just like feudalism replaced slavery, capitalism replaced feudalism.

More advanced governance methods make exploitation more convenient, more concealed, and can also put on a cloak of benevolence.

Of course, there are still some countries that have a stronger sense of independence, such as Niger, Libya, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan... and the like.

Then push the boat along the way to make them independent, and then promote civil wars or wars with neighboring countries, so as to maintain control and influence, there are many means.

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

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

They don't want Chad to invest its national income in education, people's livelihood, and infrastructure. It is best to invest funds in the battlefield.

It is good to be able to recover funds through the military and keep Chad in the status quo and dependent.

Thompson Alves also suggested that Niger could also join in this melee. Niger also had a feud with Libyan Card Dazuo.

Cardano supports the independence of the Tuaregs, who are also Mediterranean whites and believe in YSL. Niger, which is ruled by blacks, resolutely attacks the Tuaregs. The two sides have been fighting for decades.

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

"Well, I don't care, but what can I benefit from? Is there anything worth investing in in Niger? I remember that they are very poor. Like Chad, they are the poorest countries in the world?" Sean tilted his head and thought for a while.

"It is very poor, but it does not mean that there are no investment projects." Thompson Alves said with a smile: "Yes, and there are many."

"Niger is rich in grain and animal husbandry, and also has a lot of domestic minerals."

"Food? Animal husbandry?" Sean looked incredulous, "Aren't they in the desert?"

"You're talking about the north, and the south is dominated by tropical grasslands and rainforests. The forest resources are very rich. Of course, what I'm talking about is now, and sooner or later they will cut them down. Those chimpanzees don't know what it means to protect forest resources." Thompson. Alves shrugged, "That's why I say that going to war is necessary, very necessary!"

"They are too capable of giving birth. They spend a lot of time mating every day, breeding crazily without providing labor. If you don't want to expand the trouble, the best way is to quickly consume the population through war. There is no way. It has been the practice since ancient times This way."

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

"They don't understand the consequences of that. The population explodes. They'll eat everything they can eat like black worms."

Sean can tell that Thompson Alves really hates black Africans, but, "Okay, let's not talk about them, let's talk about Niger, I'm not interested in food and livestock, what else in Niger, I'm Talk about minerals."

"There are a lot of them. Oil is produced in desert areas. It is also rich in uranium ore and gold. By the way..." Thompson Alves pointed at Sean and laughed, "This place is also rich in phosphate mines, with large reserves. "

Sean:? ? ?

"There are huge reserves of this thing in Africa, but no one is willing to explore it." Seeing Xiao En's stare, Thompson Alves laughed and said, "Don't worry, it won't affect you, after all, the phosphate mines in Morocco It is already enough for the whole world to consume. In places like Niger, there is no sea transportation, and the shipping cost is higher than its own value. Who will it be mined and sold to? It will not pose a threat to Morocco at all.”

Only then did Sean feel relieved, "Okay, gold, I like gold."

"Who doesn't like it?"

The two exchanged some opinions casually, all of which are at the national level and strategic, and the specifics will be discussed later.

After all this is said, it is finally about yourself.

"I remember Chad being rich in cotton and fur," Sean said with a smile.

Thompson Alves nodded. In fact, Chad’s output is not very large. In West Africa controlled by France, 12 countries out of 18 in West Africa produce cotton. Burkina Faso and Mali produce the most cotton, followed by Chad, Central Africa, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Cameroon, Benin, etc.

But explaining these is not important.

"I am promoting the development of the textile industry in Morocco. Technology and equipment are imported from the United States, processed with cheap labor here, and sold to Europe through convenient sea trade."

Thompson Alves' eyes lit up!

What is key information!

For a big man like Xiao En, one word is a source of wealth all over the world.

Whether the Thompson Alves family had a hand in the cotton trade in West Africa or a subsequent trade route from Morocco to Europe would give them control of a legitimate, sustainable, and lucrative industry.

Cotton is a daily necessities of life. The sustainable development of this industry, 10 years, 50 years, 100 years, is an industry that can be used as a family foundation.

There are too many words about cotton, seed cotton and lint cotton, long-staple cotton and fine-staple cotton, sawtooth cotton and roller cotton, white cotton, yellow cotton, gray cotton and colored cotton...

There are also different grades, different fiber lengths, fiber colors, strength, fineness, naturalness, elasticity, moisture absorption, dyeing, impurity and so on.

The more careful the classification, the more it shows that the industry is thriving, and different countries have different classification standards, among which the most widely recognized is the American standard.

The United States has a history of formulating cotton standards for 80 years. It is classified by color and graded by color. The cotton standards are complete, including upland white cotton standard, colored cotton standard, Pima cotton standard, length standard sample and fineness standard sample, etc.), for It is internationally recognized, accepted by the Cotton Standards Conference, and occupies a leading position in the world.

This is not only due to the strength of the United States, but also the technological 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 backed by Europe, and promoted at the national level, 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.

In many cases, it is not something that you can start if you know that an industry can make money. Morocco has good conditions in all aspects, but the problem is that the current cotton spinning market is relatively complete.

The cotton in Africa has a fixed place for digestion. It has been decades, and now it is Sean who wants to steal business from the Europeans, so the first thing to solve is the problem of supply!

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

Answer: Yes!

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

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

"After our investigation, you have forced black labor in your cotton production. This is racial discrimination and is not in line with human rights!" Sean said solemnly.

At this moment, Sean inherited the fine tradition of Anglo-Saxon, the spirit of Anglo-Saxon ancestors possessed him, he is not fighting alone!

Not alone!

Thompson Alves looked at Sean in shock, what a shame!

Racial discrimination in the left hand, human rights stick in the right hand, two major killers, invincible!

Sean hasn't resorted to environmental protection yet!

"When the time comes, I'll find a group of black people to parade, and I'll arrange for someone to interview and let New Century Media make a large-scale publicity, and make sure they know what it means to be powerful."

"As for how to avoid forced labor?"

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

"Honey, 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, and it wasn't something that could be sold after grabbing some production.

From planting to transportation, from processing to sales, each company holds shares with each other, and their interests are intertwined. If they want to break, let alone rebuild a complete industrial chain, they must solve at least half of the problems.

But now Sean appeared, technical equipment from the United States, endorsed by the Moroccan state.

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

The two raised their wine glasses and touched each other lightly, oh yeah!
