Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 283 The first step

After regaining Tianzhou City, Zhou Yuanqiang realized that he, the president, had become a decoration.

The reason is very simple. With each complete department, they can operate independently. Under coordination, every job is done very well. It can be said that everyone performs their own duties and manages the entire chamber of commerce in an orderly manner, like running water.

Normally, this kind of situation really makes Zhou Yuanqiang an idler. He just plays human flesh every day, or wanders around casually, shows his face in various departments, and makes remarks about deducting his salary...

All in all, it was a pleasant day to live.

But Zhou Yuanqiang is not used to this kind of life, because he found that it will take some time before "Armageddon 2" is released. This is Warner Bros.'s intention. After all, releasing two such works within half a year will have a great impact on the audience.

It has a tiring effect on our vision, and we need to give the audience a buffer time.

So our classmate Zhou seemed to be short of money... He was a little resentful. Why wasn't the original target of the attack the gold storage center in the United States?

After the New Year, Zhou Yuanqiang left his family again and appeared in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.

Since you are short of money, you naturally have to implement your own plan. Simply relying on movies is definitely an unfounded way to make money. Anyone who is involved in finance knows that it seems that you can dominate the financial market, but at any time, a huge wave will come.

Coming here will completely knock you back to your original shape. There is no other way for you except jumping off the building.

The industry is different, it can continuously provide you with funds, just like a cash machine.

In the apocalypse, Zhou Yuanqiang has a huge machine called the Chamber of Commerce. It has issued currency itself and has a dictatorial model. Money in the apocalypse has lost its meaning to Zhou Yuanqiang. If he is willing, he can mobilize the power of the entire chamber of commerce.

, he can even squander the currency in the central bank at will. His identity determines that even if he does this, no one can stop him.

The apocalypse is full of glory, even standing at the top. But what about modern times? Zhou Yuanqiang, a big boss in the apocalypse, is actually nothing.

If you insist on saying who Zhou Yuanqiang is, the boss behind mc design company? With assets of more than 100 million, he can only be regarded as a small shrimp. The boss of a trading company? As the chamber of commerce in the apocalypse becomes less and less dependent on modern times, the entire trade

The company's current performance is only able to pay employees' salaries. Perhaps the more impressive ones are the two movies produced by Warner Bros., but Zhou Yuanqiang's identity is just a movie investor. In the entertainment industry,

There are too many such people.

Zhou Yuanqiang's identity is actually very ordinary, but the principle of taking precautions is what he advocates.

Imagine that there is no airtight wall in this world. No matter how secretive you are, who can guarantee that your secret will not be discovered? You can hide in the apocalypse and never need to return to modern times in your life, but your own

Is it okay for family members?

Although only he knows this secret now, Zhou Yuanqiang has to guard against it.

Rather than saying that Zhou Yuanqiang wants to make money, it is better to say that he wants to find a way for himself to protect himself. With the advantage of this huge behind-the-scenes factory in the apocalypse, Zhou Yuanqiang has established a unique position from the beginning.

It also gives him enough space for development in modern times and a high starting point.

There are many reasons for seeing Somalia. This is the so-called fishing in troubled waters.

The time difference of several hours was not uncomfortable for Zhou Yuanqiang. After arriving in Mogadishu, he returned to his residence. Obviously, the one-month period after the mercenaries left was not enough for Zhou Yuanqiang to buy the goods in one go.

Foreign immigrants who have bought seven houses, of course the people here have to come in to express their welcome, and take away all the things they like inside.

Looking at the almost-shabby apartment, even the few clothes he hung in the closet were not immune and became the trophies of thieves.

"His grandma's, it's simply unreasonable..."

Finally, in the bathroom, Zhou Yuanqiang found that everything had been looted. He couldn't help but cursed, but then he smiled bitterly. The people here are really creative in this damn place. They even used towels, shampoo, etc.

Hands, this state of being able to steal anything, makes Zhou Yuan a master thief, and he is still sweating.

I still need to make choices, pick and choose, and finally make a decision before taking action. But these bastards are so hungry that they don't even let go of the bathroom. I admire them.

In fact, Zhou Yuanqiang also knows that this is mainly determined by the environment in Somalia. The gap between the rich and the poor here is very large. Maybe some families have an annual income of only a few hundred thousand Somali shillings, but there are also some wealthy people whose wealth

It is very large and has a profound influence on Somalia's domestic economy.

Here, if you bring a few thousand dollars, you will already join the wealthy class.

Generally, the local police would not accept a case like this. Zhou Yuanqiang never thought of calling the police. After all, calling the police is a ridiculous thing for people here. The local police rarely cause trouble. The country's political situation,

It is decided that this is a war-torn place. There are not as many people with guns as in Yemen, but every two or three people will own a gun. With the popularity of the gun, public security is the most troublesome place, which is why there is no personal willingness.

Reasons to invest here.

For Zhou Yuanqiang, this place is just a temporary place. It has lost its meaning since he emptied the mint.

So when Zhou Yuanqiang found out that he had been robbed, he just smiled bitterly, not furious. After finding a good local hotel to stay, Zhou Yuanqiang decided to settle the matter in Somalia when the Chamber of Commerce did not need him at the moment.

The political situation in Somalia is mainly caused by tribal and religious issues. As a foreign immigrant, Zhou Yuanqiang does not belong to their tribe. This undoubtedly adds a lot of trouble, and many things do not have the identity of a local tribe.

, indeed no one will believe you.

However, Zhou Yuanqiang was in trouble when it came to tribe selection. He really didn't know how to choose a tribe in Somalia, where there were so many tribes.

But it doesn’t matter. For Zhou Yuanqiang, this choice is not very difficult, and there is no need to choose. Because even if he immigrated here, he would not be recognized by the locals and would still be called a foreigner. Therefore, Zhou Yuanqiang must find someone

A very suitable agent for me, standing behind the scenes, is what I need to do most at the moment.

The situation in Mogadishu is very complicated, with a large number of gangs standing here, and gunfire and gunfire taking place every day.

Some of these gangs are organized by individuals, some are organized by tribes, and some have the background of several Somali breakaway forces, and there are even shadows of some warlords. It can be said that the relationships here are complicated.

Don't talk about it to outsiders, even locals sometimes can't explain clearly or understand the relationship.

Zhou Yuanqiang has stayed here for almost two months. Under the attack of a lot of money and US dollars, no one can resist this temptation. Don't tell them some gang intelligence, just let them

People who are willing to commit murder and arson can queue up as long as they are given money.

In this case, Zhou Yuanqiang can be said to have a thorough knowledge of the entire Mogadishu.

"Shehad, take it, this is your reward..."

As Zhou Yuanqiang's first loyal subordinate in Mogadishu, Shehad is lucky. He is nearly fifty-five years old and still has such an opportunity. Don't underestimate his age, his cleverness, and his

He is a seasoned person who will definitely exceed your expectations. He is a well-informed person in Mogadishu. He started running around in Mogadishu at the age of thirteen and knows people all over Mogadishu.

Ten thousand US dollars is definitely an exciting wealth for Somalia.

For Shehade, the most money he has ever touched in his life is the US$170 he got from robbing a foreign reporter. Even if he works hard for a few more years, he may not be able to get this US$10,000. But.

After following this generous boss, it only took a month for this huge amount of wealth to fall into his pocket.

"thank you boss!"

Years of confusion have left Shehade unable to speak English. Somali and English are the common languages ​​here, and there are many people who can speak Arabic here.

For Zhou Yuanqiang, in this poor place, as long as you have money, it means you have everything. This principle can be applied all over the world. With just tens of thousands of dollars, he, an outsider, has everything here.

Hundreds of capable local people. Of course, everything was done by Shehade. He also became the leader of this gang. In just two months, he became one of the main gangs.

Why did you choose Shehade at such an old age? For Zhou Yuanqiang, the older the better, there will be less ambition, and there will be less trouble for himself.

It is a March day in Mogadishu and it is by the sea, so it is naturally cool. As a foreign immigrant and a wealthy person, he will naturally be welcomed by the authorities. Although Mogadishu is said to be

The capital, but it does not have the function of a capital. Even the president works remotely from a neighboring country. How good can you expect it to be?

A wealthy man willing to invest is definitely a surprise to the Mogadishu government. From the civil unrest in 1991 to the present, the entire country's industry has almost come to a standstill, even under the pillars.

The animal husbandry industry was also greatly affected, and the entire country's economy moved towards a complete collapse due to the civil war.

What Zhou Yuanqiang invests in is actually mining. The large amount of minerals in Somalia is exactly what Zhou Yuanqiang needs.

Here, investment does not require much capital. He just expressed his decision to set up a steel factory outside Mogadishu's suburbs and immediately received the full support of the authorities, granting a piece of 100,000 acres of seaside wasteland free of charge.

It came into the hands of Zhou Yuanqiang and was used to build a steel plant.

This result stunned Zhou Yuanqiang. You should know that he just invested in a small steel factory and got these 100,000 acres of land. But think about it, there are too many wastelands here. Years of wars, and...

There are inter-tribal conflicts and economic shocks, leaving the entire Somalia in a state of zero tax. Even Somaliland, whose economy is still developing, their total annual experience value is only 72 billion Somaliland shillings, about 28 million US dollars.

That's all.

In fact, Zhou Yuanqiang's behavior is definitely providing help in times of need, giving the authorities who are working hard to restore the economy an example that can be publicized.

So soon, the whole of Mogadishu knew that a Chinese immigrant wanted to build a steel factory north of Mogadishu.

This news definitely made countless people ready to take action. First of all, the tribes that own mines are sending people to discuss the issue of iron ore. For them, the mines are their biggest source of income, but at present

The economy of the entire Somalia collapsed, industry came to a standstill, mines ceased production one by one, and income was reduced by more than half.

In wars between tribes, there will always be consumption, and ammunition needs to be bought from arms dealers. If there is no money, why fight?

In Somalia, using economic means without conflicting interests with the other party is definitely the most effective method. Everyone is willing to cooperate with you. For Somalia, which has abundant mineral reserves, you only need to post a

With the announcement of job recruitment, a large number of people are willing to come to work in the mine.

Zhou Yuanqiang really wanted to build the steel plant, so after completing a series of procedures, he directly recruited a thousand people locally to build a wall that enclosed 100,000 acres of wasteland. In addition, through his own domestic

A trading company successfully purchased a small steel plant and relocated the entire steel plant to Somalia.

Many people admire this brave Chinese immigrant. Although there are also people who have evil intentions, the people led by Shehade have the standard weapons brought by Zhou Yuanqiang, and they are not vegetarians. More importantly, Zhou Yuanqiang’s

Arming is legal, and many tribes have sent people to protect them after signing the contract. Those who dare to offend the public seem to have not been born yet.

The construction of a steel plant is not something that can be completed at once.

Mogadishu has been a bit lively during this period. Although the salary offered by Zhou Yuanqiang is absolutely pitiful for domestic people, here it is a very high salary. Everyone is fighting to get in.

Work inside. The construction of the steel plant was like a pan of oil poured into water, and the entire Mogadishu was involved.

Mogadishu, ruled by warlords, seems to have adopted the default approach on this matter.

But secretly, each warlord sent his cronies to visit Zhou Yuanqiang one after another. They looked at the problem at a much higher level, because they did not believe that a Chinese with a comfortable environment could not live a good life, but would end up here and there.

There is a war in a place. The most important thing is that this Chinese immigrant is very rich. Does this represent what kind of measures the Chinese government has?

Issues at the political level are the most sensitive, and they have to be careful.

No matter how poor Zhou Yuanqiang is, he still has nearly 200 million US dollars in his hands, plus the gold in his hands, etc., which is definitely a huge wealth in Somalia. Therefore, Zhou Yuanqiang's attitude towards these cronies of the warlords who come to visit is very

Friendly. As for the warlords who were included in his list early, Zhou Yuanqiang was straight to the point and could provide financial sponsorship, but in exchange for the interests of the region under their rule.

Mogadishu is a place ruled by warlords, but poverty allows these warlords to get what Zhou Yuanqiang wants with only a few million dollars.

These things include the mining rights of some minerals, the use of ports, customs, etc. In order to achieve his own goals, Zhou Yuanqiang reached an agreement with the local government overtly on regional railway construction and operation rights, and secretly of course with the warlords

After reaching an agreement and throwing down a lot of US dollars, at least Zhou Yuanqiang has become friends with these warlords in terms of interests.

For Zhou Yuanqiang, a strange businessman, no one can guess what he wants to do, because he seems to want everything. As long as it is related to the economy and industry, he can sign a contract with you without hesitation. In a short period of time,

, in the entire central Somalia region, at least more than 20% of the mineral veins are in the hands of Zhou Yuanqiang.

Somalia's number one mineral businessman, who spent money on it, also spent nearly 200 million US dollars on Zhou Yuanqiang, most of which went to local tribes and warlords.

Such large-scale mining purchases are definitely rare in the world, and the prices are ridiculously cheap. And all this, Zhou Yuanqiang just used 200 million US dollars, using a trick like a white wolf with nothing.

It was completed using both light and dark techniques. If anyone digs deeper, they will definitely find that there are countless tricks in it. Two hundred million US dollars is nothing more than a swindle.

"Shehad, you go call General Kossov and tell him that I will visit him tonight."

After spending 200 million U.S. dollars, Zhou Yuanqiang's available cash now is less than 10 million U.S. dollars, which has caused him to be extremely short of money. Therefore, the money Zhou Yuanqiang previously spent on the warlord tribe became what Zhou Yuanqiang wanted to earn.

The object of acquisition. For warlords, they not only like money, but also...all kinds of weapons.

Zhou Yuanqiang laughs when he thinks of arms. Isn't this the important reason why he came to Somalia?

"Since I am a businessman, what can't I do? As long as I can make money, I can do anything, including arms."

There is a super behind-the-scenes arms factory in the apocalypse. If it is not used properly, it will definitely be a huge waste.
