Lin Rui frowned when he heard the name, "Are you the one Mr. K sent to pick us up?"

"Yes, Mr. Rick. I know what you do, but your set, it's best not to use it. Being brave and ruthless will not help much, it will be a bad thing." Libek smiled. .

"Just those two guys, I can pour 20 alone." Sausage said grimly.

"I don't doubt, then you are here for your mission. Don't forget this." Rebeck drew a cigarette and held it to his mouth as he drove.

Lin Rui looked outside the car and whispered, "Where are you taking us?"

"Find a place to stay, and wait for someone by the way. This person will let us pass the area where the militants are entrenched." Libek whispered.

"Who?" Lin Rui frowned slightly.

"Relax, just a person who has nothing to do. His role is to help me enter South Kivu. He has no idea about this mission, just doing me a personal favor." Ribek chuckled and stopped. The car.

Not far away, a yellow man also came over, exchanged a few words with Rebecq, hugged and shook hands with each other.

"Li, come and meet my Chinese friend." Libek patted Lin Rui on the shoulder.

"Chinese? Hello, hello." That person actually spoke Chinese with a Fujian accent.

"Are you also Chinese?" Lin Rui frowned slightly.

Libek explained, "Li is also Chinese. He has been here for many years. He is mainly engaged in the ore business and is very familiar with all aspects. He can help us pass the checkpoint over there."

"You are polite, it's just a small business." The Chinese man named Li said.

Through the conversation, I learned that the Chinese surnamed Li came to Africa to do business. Because of business, I often run around. In the surrounding area, it has a good relationship with all the military and police.

Because of his generous action, the soldiers at various police stations have benefited from him. So he can eat well in this area. Through Li's relationship, Lin Rui and others can easily pass through some areas without making trouble.

Most of the roads here are dirt roads, cars passing by, dusty and charming. Nearly a hundred kilometers along this road are dirt roads, and trucks are constantly flowing.

When their off-road vehicle bumped forward, the red-yellow dust raised by the vehicle in front was like poisonous fog, and the visibility on the road was less than one meter. When the car passed through the dust and fog, the blue sky and white clouds were very dazzling in contrast. On both sides of the road, there are wild chrysanthemums as tall as one person, and the yellow flowers are particularly gorgeous against the green leaves.

"There is a very famous hand-catch mine." Li explained.

The so-called hand mining, as the name implies, miners manually collect and dig ore from the surface. 10 years ago, when Huayou Cobalt first arrived here, it had acquired a large number of high-grade, more than 25% abound.

"Cobalt ore, the grade of less than 10% is simply not to be seen. Today, 5% is now a treasure, and some are less than 2%, because there are not many good things." Li sighed. Said, "10 years ago, the copper ore dug by the locals could be directly burned in the furnace to smelt copper, and the basic premise of pyrometallurgical smelting was that it contained more than 30% copper.

At that time, there were nearly 10 Chinese and foreign companies smelting copper by fire. Ten years later, these companies almost all closed down because the copper grade dropped rapidly below 5%. "

"So your ore business is doing well?" Libek asked.

"Recently, I have not done it. I am now in the tailings storage business. The tailings storage is the waste **** storage after copper smelting. The copper metal content is still more than 2%. Recently, I am buying this for re-smelting.

In China, the metal content of copper mines is less than 1% on average, and large copper mines with grades greater than 1% account for less than 15%. The 0.5% grade copper mine is regarded as treasure by the Chinese. "Li explained.

Libek turned to Lin Rui and explained, "Because Li is in the ore business. So his vehicles often run around, and he can eat well in the surrounding provinces. The soldiers will not embarrass him because they often accept Li's benefits."

Li smiled and said, "For things that can't be helped, come out to ask for life. But this is not bragging. If you encounter any military and police troubles nearby, just report my name. Most people will buy it.

By the way, what business are these few people in? "

"Do you see it?" Libek asked.

"If I can't even see this, I won't mess around here. These few of your friends will know that they are not good at first sight.

A mercenary, or someone's bodyguard. You have to say that they didn't have blood on their hands, and I don't believe that they were killed. "Li smiled and said. "Relax, buddy, I don't mind my business. If it wasn't for Ribek's face this time, I would usually be far away from people like you. "

"It's a wise choice to avoid getting into trouble." Lin Rui nodded.

"After the previous paragraph, I'm almost at the checkpoint. When you get there, don't say anything. I'll get off to negotiate. I'll be fine if you send you over." Li smiled.

"Thank you." Lin Rui whispered.

"No thanks, it's not easy to come out to ask for a living. If you go out and rely on friends, you can help." Li looked at him and said with a smile.

This man named Li is really good at eating locally. He was in charge of the negotiations, and Lin Rui and others passed this area easily.

After helping them through the checkpoint, Li got out of the car and left.

Rebecq patted Lin Rui on the shoulder, "You see, I said long ago, sometimes with a little bribe, a lot of things can actually be done."

"I don't understand why the checkpoint here does not allow strangers to pass?" Lin Rui frowned.

"The reason is actually very simple. From here, the government forces are not as powerful as they are. Local armed forces are everywhere near the border, with all factions.

The situation here is very complicated and armed conflicts often occur. In order to control the situation, government forces blocked these areas. To avoid accidents with foreigners and create international influence. "Rebek replied.

"Since it can be passed with a little money, why should we pass the relationship with Li?" Scarface asked strangely.

"Because if we spend money to settle things, it is easy to expose us. Who knows if the soldiers that these people check have any internal response from armed organizations?

If they knew that we were Li's friends, they would automatically treat us as businessmen. Don't care too much. In this mission, confidentiality is the top priority, and we have to avoid unexpected situations. "Ribeck whispered.

"That's what I said." Lin Rui nodded and said, "The eyes and ears of the secret society may be everywhere. There is no harm in being careful."
