Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Rich French people are flying to Fucaira one after another, and some of their sons are being detained in Niger; all fools know what is going on. It's just that the French people don't know clearly, otherwise they will definitely come out to condemn it. Just because ordinary people in France don't know about it doesn't mean that other big families don't know about it.

At this moment, the headquarters of France's largest oil company is discussing how to redeem people!

1 President Raymond Poincaré wrote to Ethan Total, entrusting him with the establishment of a company engaged in oil production under French control.

No one would have thought that this seemingly inconspicuous company at the time would become the world's leading oil company in the future, also known as one of the seven sisters - Total Oil Company!

The current head of Total Oil Company, William Total, is receiving reports from his subordinates.

The middle-aged man who looked like a butler said very seriously: "According to the news from the inside, Laurence Poche and Jean-Pierre have left Niger and are currently in Fucaira."

"In addition, Peter Wintel went to see Pierre Poche the morning before yesterday; the specific content of the discussion is unknown, but Peter Wintel arrived at Dubai International Airport on a special plane that evening; he is currently in Fucaira.

"Comprehensive analysis, combined with Bao Zixuan's special relationship with the top Soviet officials; Pierre Boche went to ask him for help to redeem his son from Niger."

"After Peter Wendell learned the news, he also asked Bao Zixuan for help; otherwise Niger would definitely not release him. In addition, the Boche family has transferred all the wineries in the Bordeaux region to Bao Zixuan; the redemption price should be US$500 million. about."

Unlike the other two companies, the Total family has invested heavily in Niger; even if the news is blocked, some intelligence can be obtained. Therefore, the small actions of the Boche family and the Wendell family, as well as the departure of the two young men from Niger, cannot be hidden from the Total family at all.

But that's the limit at this moment. If you want to rescue the person directly, you can't do it yet.

Because of Bao Zixuan, the Nigerien people had a huge appetite; Total offered to redeem him for US$20 million, but he only smiled slightly. Do you really think that you have never seen money, or do you think that the Nigeriens are idiots? The French are indeed stingy, but they will not suffer losses easily when cooperating with Bao Zixuan.

So I refused without even thinking about it; that was not giving me a chance at all. In addition, the so-called insiders were killed that night; no one dared to pass on the news to the French.

The reason why William Total is so interested is because his brother Paul Total is in the hands of the Nigeriens. Although the father is not here, the mother misses her little son every day; she must redeem him. Especially after the two major families, Boche and Wendell, have taken action and successfully redeemed the person.

It can be said that William Total has no way out at this moment; otherwise, not only will his mother not be able to pass the test, but the media alone will be able to spray him to death.

The head of the Total family, in order to obtain more property, even refused to save his own brother. Without that ability, everything would be easy to explain; now that the other two families have brought people back, any explanation will become pale and feeble.

William Dowdall thought for a moment and said: "You mean Bao Zixuan came forward to help solve the problem, and in order to redeem the person, he needs to pay about 500 million US dollars."

"No wonder we proposed US$20 million, but the Nigeriens didn't show any reaction at all; it turns out they don't like it."

"There is no airtight wall in the world. People must be redeemed first; without any action, how will the world view the Total family? Prepare the plane and I will go to Fucaira in person; I believe Bao Zixuan will give this face!" "

Unlike the Wendell family, the Total family, which started off from oil, still has a certain influence in the Middle East, and many people will give them a face.

In any case, they are also big customers, and they have advanced oil mining and smelting technology; we still need to rely on them for some things.

Fucaira is a major oil-producing country and also cooperates with Total. Even if it is not a big customer, its reputation is there. If you take the initiative to ask for a meeting, I believe Bao Zixuan will agree to the meeting.

At this time, the secretary reported via the intercom that Mr. Alston had come to visit the company and wanted to see him. If you come here at this time, you don't need to think about it to know what it means; the Alston family probably also got the news, and many things are not secrets.

It would be nice to have both families together, it would save a lot of trouble!

Seeing Thorne Alston, William Dowdall smiled and said: "Hello, Thorne; long time no see!"

The two of them are relatively familiar with each other and there is no problem in calling each other by their first names.

Seeing that the butler was the only outsider, Thorne Alston did not hesitate at all; he said directly: "William, the Boche family and the Wendell family have redeemed the person; you know it even if I don't tell you."

"Now the problem has been thrown to our two families. If we don't save it at this time, the family will be under great pressure."

"If possible; I would like to go to Fucaira together."

Alstom and Heiyun Group are in a competitive relationship, and of course there are some differences in their focus areas; but the Alstom family and Bao Zixuan have no previous contact, let alone any friendship.

Worried that one person was not important enough in the past, he thought of two families together; Thorne Alston also wanted to redeem his nephew. The eldest brother has passed away, and now the nephew is in danger; he must not ignore death.

William Dowdall thought for a while and said: "Actually, before I came here, I was already planning to go to Fucaira. The Dowdall family still has some connections in the Middle East; I believe Bao Zixuan will give this face."

"However, the Nigeriens have a big appetite this time, and both the Boche and Wentel families have paid a very heavy price; we must also be mentally prepared!"

Thorne-Alston has no objection to this. The top priority is to save people; everything else can be put aside.

Since both parties were sure that there was no problem, time waited for no one; they flew directly to Dubai overnight.

Early the next morning, Mr. Bao had just gotten up when he heard the servant come in to report; William Dowdall and Thorne Alston asked to see him.

The last two families were finally willing to come over, but they could complete their deployment before the French attack. He directly invited the two people in. They are both heads of a big family; even if they didn't know each other before, they still have to give them the face they deserve!

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Nice to meet you two. Welcome to Fucaira."

There must be no less courtesy than necessary. He is not in a hurry anyway.

The two looked at each other, and William Dowdall thought for a moment and said: "Hello, Mr. Bao! Although it is very presumptuous, especially when we meet for the first time, I ask you for help; it really shouldn't be."

"But our two families have nothing to do now. The family members are detained in Niger; we can't just die without saving them."

If you can save the first two, then saving two more is no big deal.

Bao Zixuan thought for a while and said: "Nigerians have a big appetite, and they need to be taken care of from top to bottom. The price is not cheap. I don't know if you two can accept it."

They had made preparations before coming over, and both of them said it was no problem; it was all up to Bao Zixuan, and the two families would definitely not bargain.

Mr. Bao has a very good reputation in the business community and always only earns reasonable profits; the two of them are very relieved about this!

I called the Ottoman President again and wanted to redeem the young masters from the two families. The other party said that there was no problem, but they needed 24 Soviet fighter planes and supporting ammunition.

Fortunately, it is not the latest model Su-27, otherwise it would be really difficult to get it together at the moment. But even so, apart from the Soviet Union, only Bao Zixuan can handle it.

The richest man Bao completely agreed with this and had no hesitation; anyway, it was the French who paid for it, so it didn’t matter if it was more or less.

The final result is that the Total family provided part of the cash and part of the refining equipment; the Alstom family was responsible for providing high-speed trains, for which Heiyun Group had to pay an additional amount of funds to the Alstom family.

The whole incident was relatively successful. The Nigeriens received weapons and equipment; Bao Zixuan cleaned up the weapons inventory and obtained part of the funds and equipment; it turned waste into treasure.

It only hurt the four major French families, who paid nearly 2 billion US dollars for this; but when thinking about the large-scale plunder of the French in Niger before, it does not seem to deserve sympathy.

As for the Soviet Union, they also took advantage of it; especially Ustinov Jr., he really benefited a lot.

There is no more money to be squeezed out in the hands of the French, and who cares about the life and death of ordinary people. As for the other French people, they could only stay in Niger temporarily. Although France made representations, the two sides had great differences and never reached an agreement.

Of course, this is also a way to save lives, with hostages in hand; the French army does not dare to go too far, otherwise Niger will never retaliate!
