Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Just when the public felt that nothing major had happened recently, Dassault II made a grand announcement in Paris; the company would restart the Mirage 4000 project; and ensured that the fighter jet would be more advanced than previously designed, with more outstanding combat performance and lower price. It will also be reduced appropriately!

Dassault, France's number one military industrial company, suddenly increased investment; countries immediately sensed that Phoebe was unusual. This move by the French clearly wants to engage in an arms race.

You must know that the entire world has not been peaceful recently. The British Empire is not only fighting Argentina in the Falklands waters; there are also constant demonstrations in the mainland. It is basically certain that the Iron Lady will not be the next prime minister. Now that France is doing something like this again, is there really going to be a world war? When I think about it, it's not realistic. They all have nuclear weapons in their hands. If the earth really needs to be restarted, that country can't afford such serious consequences!

By this time, Bao Zixuan had arrived in Fucaira, accompanying Shala and the child. It's been a long time since I've seen a son and a daughter who can speak and receive education in multiple languages ​​since childhood. Looking at the two children, Bao Shoufang was a little at a loss; he even felt that he owed Shala and the other three too much.

Perhaps sensing the man's thoughts, Sara smiled and said: "The three of us are very good, at least we live a happy life. If I hadn't met you, maybe I could only pretend to be that old man in Dericht now; Fucaila also It will definitely become a vassal of Sharjah, and the people’s lives will never be as happy as they are today!”

"You are destined not to completely belong to me and Fucaira; but I am satisfied to be able to give birth to a child for you!"

Hearing this, Bao Shoufang was a little moved; his guilt became even worse. At the same time, I thought that some ideas in the Arab world are really good. At least women will not be jealous of their husbands having several wives. But this evil thought only lasted for a moment, and he was shocked; could he be so evil, otherwise how could he have such an idea.

At this time, Zhang Zhan came over to report: "Boss, Niger is fully prepared and can take action at any time!"

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Proceed as planned!"

Since I have to dig a hole for the French, I don't mind making the hole bigger.

For this reason, Bao Zixuan personally called the President of Iraq and the second son. After hearing the plan, the two father and son promised to cooperate fully. As long as it can cause trouble for the French, Iraq will definitely spare no effort. Then the Iraqi president personally went to Saudi Arabia and left with satisfactory results!

Niger’s land area of ​​12 square meters is definitely not small!

More than 60% of the country's land is desert in the east and north, which are desolate and hot without rain all year round; 30% of the central region is a semi-desert nomadic area, which is also very arid; only about 10% of the area is the Lake Chad Basin in the southeast and the Niger River Basin in the southwest It is an agricultural area suitable for farming.

Eighty percent of the population is concentrated in agricultural areas, but only about 40% of GDP is created; most of the rich mineral resources are stored in desert areas, with temperatures above 50°C all year round, severe water shortages, and lack of infrastructure. Therefore, in addition to uranium mines and oil; It is basically undeveloped and it is difficult to create value.

On the other hand, it was the disaster brought about by colonial rule that caused Niger to be in dire straits after independence.

Niger did not have a unified kingdom in ancient times. It became a colony during the European colonial era and is the easternmost part of French West Africa. 1 officially declared independence, but this did not change its status as a colony.

Niger, which had just become independent, was poor and weak. At that time, uranium deposits and oil had been discovered in the country. The government very much hoped to turn the minerals at its feet into national wealth. However, weak technology and lack of facilities meant that Niger could only guard its gold mines.

France took the opportunity to propose a series of cooperative development plans; borrowing the influence left over from the colonial era, the newly born Niger government had no choice at all.

As early as the 1st, Nigeria signed the Niger-France Cooperation Agreement and obtained the mining rights for uranium mines in Niger; it also leased land near the uranium mines for a period of 75 years.

French state-owned uranium mining company Areva has two subsidiaries in Niger; it mines large amounts of uranium in northern Niger.

Founded in 1 to extract uranium from open-pit mines; with an annual production capacity of 2,300 tons of uranium; established in 1 Division, it mines the world's largest underground uranium mine, with an annual production capacity of 2,500 tons.

The French, who control Niger's uranium mines, have guaranteed half of the country's uranium needs at very low prices; they have made billions or even tens of billions of dollars in profits from inside and outside! Niger earns very little from uranium, which accounts for 70% of exports and only contributes 5% to the country's GDP.

After obtaining a large amount of cheap nuclear power raw materials, France's nuclear power plants have sprouted all over the country, with one group built; nuclear power generation accounts for 70% of the total power generation.

Because the cost of generating electricity is so low; France earns more than billions of dollars from electricity exports every year and is the world's largest net exporter of electricity. It is no exaggeration to say that one out of every three French light bulbs is powered by uranium from Niger.

In contrast, Niger's power supply remains at a low level all year round, and nearly 90% of the population does not have access to stable power. Despite being independent for more than thirty years, Niger is still economically colonized by France.

Just like uranium mines; France forcibly plundered Niger's oil, coal and other resources; the vast majority of mineral resources are controlled by French companies, and more than 90% of mineral profits go into France's pockets; Niger is destined to be unable to rely on mineral resources to get rich.

What’s even more frightening is that Niger not only cannot make money, but also has to deal with the pollution and health problems caused by uranium mining. France took away valuable minerals after mining uranium, but left behind tens of millions of tons of radioactive pollutants, causing serious ecological disasters and causing illness and death to hundreds of thousands of people.

French companies have taken no basic protection measures for mining workers and have almost no medical assistance. Radiation caused deaths from leukemia and cancer in villagers near uranium mines, as well as various miscarriages and deformed babies.

The gift from God turned into a curse due to the plundering by the capitalists. France, which has made a lot of money, has no apology for this; in their eyes, the Nigeriens are just consumables.

Once an employee is found to have fainted, or has symptoms such as persistent coughing, diarrhea, or unknown skin diseases, the company will fire the worker. As for any health problems, the company has nothing to do with it.

Faced with the plunder of the French, Nigerien officials not only did not dare to intervene; some even colluded with the colonists.

The first president, Amani Diori, had very good relations with the French government and capitalists. Even his personal assistant and cabinet director were French. Niger's uranium mines and other state-owned resources were sold from him.

Later, Conche, who came to power through a military coup, not only failed to take back the uranium mining rights, but also increased the French shareholding ratio through a series of capital operations.

The French government also reciprocated and reduced its local garrison in order to create political achievements for Conche.

Presidents are like this, and the politicians who follow are even more short-sighted and wanton. Newly discovered national resources such as coal mines and oil fields are sold at low prices. On the one hand, they get money; on the other hand, they can also get support from big countries.

Bao Zixuan's plan is very simple, that is, to let the Niger people know the French conspiracy; the minerals in their hands are even more precious than gold! At the same time, block your seat in advance to support the candidate who can become president.

When it comes to competing for financial resources, Heiyun Group has never been afraid of anyone.

At the same time, contact several of your allies. If you have any benefits, you will naturally share them with everyone.

Mitsubishi owns a nuclear power plant and has a huge demand for raw materials. Now that there are suppliers of raw materials with stable supply, low prices, and high quality, we will naturally not hesitate.

As for the United States, McDonald Jr. and the Galvin family have already begun preparations. Any businessman with lofty ambitions will not refuse the opportunity to enter the energy industry!

The highlight is naturally the Middle East. Iraq and Saudi Arabia will enter the field of nuclear power. Energy demand has always been the basis of industrial development. If you want to become an industrial power, power supply is indispensable!

And this time the two countries contacted the American Westinghouse Company immediately, and the meaning was very obvious; pure energy needs, definitely not the manufacture of nuclear weapons; let the Americans rest assured!

Of course, some benefits must be given to the Soviet Union privately, such as increasing weapon and equipment purchase orders and other commodity purchases, and large centrifuges are one of them!

I believe that the French will definitely not be able to parry a set of punches; without low-cost electricity supply, the competitive advantage of French industrial products will naturally decline; look at what else the Gallic Rooster can compete with!
