The Disintegration Of Mao Xiong: I Am An Oligarch And I Drive An Aircraft Carrier To Go Fishing
Chapter 84 The Road To The Global Rise Of The God Of Military Industry 【Full Decision】
Slowly turning my gaze to... the continent of Africa!
Taking advantage of the crazily influx of a large amount of Omi capital into the territory of Da Maozi after the disintegration, a short window of time appeared in Africa.
Although Africa is the poorest and most backward place in the world, this land is not a barren land at all.
It has countless natural mineral resources of various types, and its agricultural conditions are the best in the world. Except for epidemic diseases, there are almost no major natural disasters. There are no floods, typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.
It's a real gem!
But why has it been lagging behind?
In addition to the one or two hundred years of colonial plunder and long-term suppression by the West, the perennial wars in various African countries are also an important factor.
The country here, no matter it is big or small, war is the norm, when it is peaceful for a period of time, that is a rare thing!
Therefore, despite so many years of modern development, only one country in Africa, South Africa, has entered the ranks of developed countries, and the rest are all developing countries and poor countries!
If you want to make money in this kind of place without an armed force as a guarantee, as Chen Feng said to Sergey on the phone just now, do you have the ability to get back the money you make?
Then again, Chen Feng deployed armed forces in Africa to protect his own interests after obtaining resources in Africa.
Large-scale industries such as copper ore and iron ore have long been firmly controlled by the capital of Western powers such as England, France, and the Beautiful Country in Africa. With Chen Feng's current size, he can only die if he wants to rashly enter the game.
Therefore, Chen Feng set his sights on another industry that is uniquely endowed only in Africa, and it is also an emerging industry with very high profit margins in recent years, diamonds!
Although in 2022, diamonds are already well known by men, women and children, and almost every couple in Longguo is proud to wear a diamond ring for the couple when they get married.
But in 1992, the industry was just getting started!
When negotiating in Europe last year, the diamond ring that Chen Feng gave to Minister Thomas was produced by De Beers, a company founded by her wife's family. As a global leader in diamonds, this company has a total market value of only 5.2 billion pounds!
Compared with those industries whose leaders cost tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars, Chen Feng chooses to enter the diamond industry at this time, which can be described as the best time!
And if you're digging for diamonds in Africa...you don't want to see the diamonds being snatched away at gunpoint right after they're dug up?
The establishment of new private armed forces is something that can be seen almost every day in Africa, and everyone has long been familiar with it.
However, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the price of stockpiled munitions dropped further, which can be described as the price of cabbage. As long as you don't buy Su-30 or nuclear warheads, which are the country's most important weapons, the price is ridiculously cheap683.
Soon, General Sergei's offer came.
"3 Mi-8 armed helicopters, 4 BMP-2 combat armored vehicles, and 700 individual modernized armed equipment."
"The total quotation is 40 million."
"USD! And I only take USD now!"
Chen Feng replied almost instantly: "Yes, I will wire 40 million US dollars from Xiangjiang immediately, and I request that this batch of goods arrive at the Port of Cape Town, South Africa within 15 days.
"In addition, these equipments require instructors, and you need to provide me with a group of instructors, who can only leave after teaching for at least one month.
"make a deal!"
The most famous source of natural diamonds in Africa is a country called Sierra Leone, which is located on the Atlantic coast of West Africa. The blood diamonds it produces are world-renowned!
The small country is very poor, one of the least developed countries in the world, and was once a source of European slave supply.
Not to mention the perennial civil war, no more than 50% of ordinary people can eat enough.
In the previous life, the blood diamond mine here was only discovered in 1995, and then became famous in one fell swoop. Sierra Leone also quickly replaced Botswana in southern Africa and became the world's largest natural diamond producing area overnight!
Chen Feng's goal this time is Sierra Leone!
His idea is that, before the big country of Omi has completed its monopoly here, it must obtain more than 50% of the mining rights of blood diamonds in Sierra Leone!
As I have said before, the biggest problem of diamond mining in Sierra Leone is war.
If you don't have a private armed force, let alone mining diamonds, you don't know how you died!
Before going to Sierra Leone, Chen Feng went to South Africa first.
He has to recruit a strong private armed here before he can go to Sierra Leone!
Of course, after the fourth uncle Chen Fumeng learned that Chen Feng went to Africa to mine, he also took the initiative to send a dozen soldiers who had just retired as bodyguards!
capital of South Africa, Johannesburg
This is the location of EO Company, one of the world's three major mercenary organizations.
The three major mercenary organizations in the world in the previous life were the beautiful country black water company established in 1995, the South African EO private armed company established in 1990, and the Israeli IZO mercenary company established in 1994.
EO company is not only the strongest among them, but also the earliest established!
It was founded by founder Luther Barlow in 1990. Most of the personnel came from the former South African National ZF Army retired soldiers. Of course, Luther Barlow himself was also an air force pilot there.
(cgcd) After retiring from the military, Barlow did not find a job. Under financial pressure, he could only start his own business. However, his more than ten years of military career left him with no other skills besides leading troops to fight.
Fortunately, this guy is also smart enough. He knows very well that apart from South Africa, the African continent has been fighting all the year round. Those Omi investors are unbearably disturbed, and many of them have the habit of hiring bodyguards.
With the size of the bodyguard team getting bigger and bigger, and the market demand getting stronger, Barlow established the EO company to provide professional bodyguards for those investors.
In 1990, the annual salary of a senior professional bodyguard who had undergone systematic training was as high as 50,000 US dollars!
You know, this is Africa!
After more than a year of entrepreneurship, Barlow's EO company has become well-known, but in general, he did not make much money.
Because the training costs are very high, you need to spend a lot of time training personnel to maintain their combat effectiveness, and the insurance costs in this industry are also very expensive. If you do not buy insurance, everyone is unwilling to take such a big risk to work.
So after entering 1992, Barlow's account only had a measly $3 million in liquidity.
In the urban area of Johannesburg, he didn't dare to rent too expensive office space, so he chose a relatively remote suburban building, where he usually receives visitors.
In South Africa at the end of January, the climate is opposite to that of the northern hemisphere, and it is summer here.
There was no order all day today, when Barlow finished his last cup of black coffee and was about to call it a day and go to the bar for a drink.
A strange oriental young man with yellow skin and black eyes walked into his office.
In South Africa, whites and blacks are very common, but there are only yellow-skinned Longguo people, which is the rarest, and you can't see it at ordinary times!
Barlow was taken aback by the sudden appearance of such a guy in his office!
"Who are you?"
The other party did not speak, but handed out an English business card.
"Chen... Feng? President of Longguo Longteng Group?"
"Its industries include import and export trade, liquor, and motorcycle manufacturing?"
"What do you... what do you do? Our EO company provides professional bodyguard and mercenary services!"
I didn't realize that this young man turned out to be a big foreign boss? If a big boss came to the door, there must be big business!
So, after reading a lot of content on the business card, Barlow's tone suddenly became respectful!
Chen Feng speaks standard English from the moment he speaks.
"I'm looking for you this time to discuss a big deal. Let me make a long story short."
"How many mercenaries does your EO company have now?"
Barlow subconsciously replied: "Uh..... There are now 322 registered mercenaries, all of whom have been trained."
"Very well, I cover all the 322 people.
"In addition, I will provide you with a batch of arms for free to upgrade your mercenary team."
As he spoke, Chen Feng directly slapped the list of weapons he bought from General Sergey on the opponent's desk this time.
Barlow picked it up and looked at it, his eyes immediately began to light up!
"3 Mi-8 armed helicopters, 4 BMP-2 combat armored vehicles, and 700 individual soldiers with modern armed equipment! This... these are all high-quality Soviet military weapons
No, it's a good thing he hired me as a mercenary.
But why do you provide me with such a huge batch of arms for free?
Barlow's eyes were filled with confusion.
Of course, Chen Feng saw what the other party was thinking, and smiled slightly: "The value of this batch of munitions far exceeds the value of your EO company itself. I, Chen Fengming, don't talk dark words. I came to you today and gave you these The advantage is that we will run EO together with you!"
"Joint EO?" Barlow felt that his brain was not enough.
Of course, this is just Chen Feng changing the term "acquisition". In order to avoid the irritation of the founder of the EO company, he changed it to "joint operation".
Chen Feng calmly expressed his plan.
For these arms, "discounted" 80 million US dollars to buy shares in EO Company and obtain 70% of the shares, while Barlow used the current mercenary team of 322 as assets to obtain 30% of the shares. Barlow is in charge, and Chen Feng basically does not intervene in the management.
To put it bluntly, Chen Feng bought EO directly, but kept Barlow's status.
As a mercenary leader, Barlow opened this EO company not for any dream, but to make money.
Right now, Chen Feng proposed a generous offer that he could not refuse at all. After listening to it, he agreed immediately on the premise that he would still manage the EO by himself in the future!
Nonsense, if you don't agree to such a good thing, won't your mind be flooded?
It's not that there are no bosses from the beautiful country who have come to me and made the same request, and those stingy guys are only willing to pay 10 million US dollars!
This is munitions worth 80 million dollars!
With them, the combat effectiveness of EO's mercenaries will increase by at least three or four levels!
Barlow dared to say that there is absolutely no one among the people who understands the wars in Africa, large and small, better than himself.
Don't look at many countries fighting lively, fighting every day, every month, every year, but do you really think that the wars they fight are the same as the modern wars in Europe and beautiful countries?
Most of them are infantry who have not been trained, and they can be done with an AK. If you have a little money, you can equip them with RPG rocket launchers for individual soldiers.
Infantry fighting vehicles? No.
Tank? No.
Airplanes? Are you kidding me, is this affordable in Africa?
It is precisely because of this huge generational difference in weapons and equipment that Africa has the feeling of "fighting every day, never ending a lifetime".
With Chen Feng's armaments and armed 322 EO company mercenaries, that is simply a victorious army that can stop people from killing people and gods from killing Buddhas!
and the regular army of a major African country like South Africa
Fighting, it must still be difficult.
But put it in some small African countries, it is the existence of Zentraedi!
Barlow also knew very well that there must be a purpose for Chen Feng to enter EO with such a large amount of money, so he asked.
"Mr. Chen, what will EO Company do for you next?"
Well, now even the title has changed to "Mr. Chen".
Chen Feng laughed secretly in his heart, but he also agreed with Barlow's way of knowing current affairs as a hero, said.
"Because I'm going to mine diamond mines."
"You're in Africa and you should know it's a very dangerous job."
"Don't have a decent mercenary team, dare to open?"
As soon as he heard that it was mining diamonds, Barlow hurriedly persuaded him: "Mr. Chen, I don't know about the broken places in Botswana? Sending 100 mercenaries is more than enough. Where can I use them?"
To get such a big pen from you?"
The blood diamonds of Sierra Leone, which shined brilliantly in 1995, of course, Barlow in 1992 did not grasp this information. He also subconsciously thought that Chen Feng would go to Botswana, which is currently the largest diamond crown in Africa, to mine!
Chen Feng also wanted to take the opportunity to hit the other party, so he immediately said seriously: "Ba Luo, this habit of yours is very bad, don't make random guesses about my thoughts."
"Yes, Mr. Chen, you said. Barlow immediately became more honest.
"The country where I'm going to mine diamonds is Sierra Leone in West Africa, where the civil war has been going on for more than a year now!"
"Otherwise, what do you think I put so much effort into? Just kidding?"
Chen Feng said coldly.
Sierra Leone? Diamonds don't seem to be that good there...
Barlow thought about it, but he didn't have any memory of it.
However, since Chen Feng is the boss now, he is right!
Barlow quickly nodded and said: "Then do as you requested! I will step up training here to ensure everyone's morale and proficiency! I wonder when you plan to go there to mine?"
Chen Feng pointed out an index finger and said: "One month later. This batch of munitions, as well as the instructors who trained them to use them, will arrive in South Africa next week."
"After you arrive, you organize training immediately so that everyone can quickly familiarize themselves with the equipment."
"On my side, I will go to Sierra Leone to communicate with the authorities first, get a diamond mining license, and then find experts to explore the veins. When the time comes, you will directly bring people and equipment to me.
In the past, is it clear?"
"Understood. Seeing that Chen Feng's plan is well organized, Barlow feels at ease now.
Next, Chen Feng talked with the other party about the treatment of the EO company after the merger.
Barlow was pleasantly surprised to find that whether it was his brothers or himself, "the treatment has at least doubled!
This Mr. Chen is an awesome boss!
What a great day today!
According to Chen Feng's plan, he will leave for Sierra Leone the day after tomorrow to discuss with officials.
Since he's staying in South Africa for the past two days, Barlow naturally wants to flatter the boss!
Barlow immediately asked: "Mr. Chen, everything is settled, how about we go and relax tonight?"
This is also the first time for Chen Feng to go to Europe. Seeing that the other party is so attentive, he thinks it is just right, so he nodded and said, "Okay. I don't know what project you have here?"
Hearing this, Barlow became excited: "Hey, we are not a poor place like Sierra Leone in South Africa, we enjoy a lot of tricks, don't worry, you will be happy tonight
!"
"That depends on your performance." Chen Feng still had that indifferent tone.
As a boss, it is natural to have a strong personality.
However, Chen Feng was a little curious, what kind of fancy year can this mercenary leader make?
When night falls, after dinner.
Barlow personally drove that Mercedes-Benz and pulled Chen Feng to the most famous "Graça" bar in Johannesburg.
After entering the bar, Barlow asked Chen Feng to wait a while, saying that he was looking for a beautiful woman to accompany him for drinks.
Well, this guy is really good, knowing that I like this, Chen Feng thought.
However, in South Africa, Chen Feng was also a little worried, this guy, he won't get any black girls for himself, will he?
