"Harvey Firestone, the American rubber king, is a major tire supplier to the Ford Motor Company and has a good personal relationship with founder Henry Ford.

In the 20s, with the influence of the United States, he bought a large amount of land in Liberia to build a rubber plantation, which was called a country within a country by the locals.

He is rumored to have his own armed forces in Africa, and maintains close personal friendships with the highest governors of the colonies. ”

The little elk took the information from the think tank and read it to Li Zitao word for word.

Harvey Firestone was the owner of the set of numbers that MacArthur had given him.

"Help me get the phone out. "Almost an hour has passed, and I believe that MacArthur and Firestone have already communicated, and now is the right time to call.

"Mr. Firestone, I hope it didn't disturb you and your family......" Li Zitao's tone no longer seemed anxious this time.

After the previous impulse, Li Zitao suddenly found that he had thought about the problem a little too seriously.

Yes, West Africa, where Samod and the others are currently located, is occupied by the people of country F.

But let's not forget that Li Zitao sent a team of 2,600 people before and after, all of whom are now in the mining area, and there are 2,002 American veterans among them.

Unless the people of country F want to start a war, do they really dare to do something?

If the terrible event he imagined really happened, without Li Zitao doing anything, the angry people would let the entire Washington government and the military department get out of power.

The families of those veterans might even burst into Washington, spitting in the face of the incompetent president, pointing at him and yelling at him 'shit.' ’

The government that was forced to helpless finally had a great possibility that it would be forced to wage war against the West African colonies under pressure, and Li Zitao did not believe that the people of country F would dare to take this risk.

Moreover, Washington may be glad to have such an opportunity to alleviate all kinds of pressures from the country.

What is the best business in the world and the most profitable?

Make war money!

As long as you have the ability to avoid settling accounts after the autumn, it is definitely a million profits.

The government of country F is not stupid, if it can't even see this kind of thing, it can really go home and sell sweet potatoes en masse.

So after giving the order to tell Satsuma not to leave the mining area, Li Zitao also calmly accepted this reality.

"Charlie, if you have time, why don't you come to my manor and talk about it?" After listening to what Li Zitao said, Firestone looked very relaxed.

"It's an honor to accept your invitation, and I'll be there on time tomorrow morning. At this time, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and Li Zitao could only set the time until tomorrow morning.

After getting Firestone's affirmation, Li Zitao hung up the phone and asked the little elk to prepare the plane, and he was going to fly to Akron, Ohio overnight.

"This incident tells us that in times of need, only we can be reliable. Li Zitao sat on the plane and jokingly said to the monk before taking off.

"Boss, let me go myself!" the monk suggested again.

"Do you really want to go?" Li Zitao said in surprise.

"Well, I want to see the real battlefield. "Although we don't see large-scale wars, there are small-scale conflicts that happen every day.

"I'll wait until I've met Harvey. Li Zitao leaned back in his seat and the flight took off.

Arrived in Akron at 4 a.m., rested in the hotel for 4 hours, Li Zitao had breakfast, and appeared in front of the Firestone estate at 10 o'clock sharp.

"Charlie, welcome to my estate. With gray hair and rimless lenses between his eyelids, Firestone looked in good spirits to greet him personally.

"The air here is invigorating. Li Zitao politely complimented.

"Do you want to say that this place is suitable for retirement?haha......" Seeing his expression a little helpless, Firestone pointed at him and smiled heartily.

The old man who is over the age of sixtieth year, but his spirit is comparable to that of his prime, and he is half a head taller than Li Zitao, and he does not look old at all.

If it weren't for that white hair, just looking at his look and appearance, it would be hard to imagine that he was already an old man.

"Mr. Firestone, I have heard that you and the African colonial governors are good friends, and do not know what I am talking about. ”

Walking on the comfortable lawn, Li Zitao talked about the main purpose of this visit.

"That matter has been resolved, rest assured, there will be no government troops to make it difficult for you. Firestone said casually.

The relaxed tone was as simple as saying 'have a cup of afternoon tea'.

Li Zitao admired the other party's methods a little and invited him to the manor, but he had already solved his troubles in advance.

Regardless of whether the other party asks for something or not, this favor is owed.

And he also had to accept the other party's favor, "You just mentioned it, and I will help you deal with it properly," how could he refuse such a favor.

"Is there anything you need me for?" asked when he came to the table in the garden and sat down, looking at him.

"You want to get involved in the automotive industry?" Firdstone asked.

"Yes, I'm planning this. ”

"Did you know that Pekka is one of my partners? "The news was a bit sudden.

To be honest, in these acquisitions, Li Zitao didn't care about Peka the most, who would have thought that it was this chassis production company, which brought him unexpected joy.

"If I'm not mistaken, PACCAR mainly produces car chassis?" Li Zitao said embarrassedly, "He didn't pay attention to the unknown broken factory." ’

"Yes, the chassis is its main business, but the chassis always has to be equipped with tires to run, doesn't it?" said Firestone directly.

Bundled sales, Li Zitao's first reaction when he heard this was this thought.

Anyway, the old man is very slippery, and he understands the benefits of bundling this year.

"That's great, and I think we'll have a great time working together in the future. Li Zitao hurriedly expressed his attitude.

This is a big man who is 'rampant' in Africa, and with a phone call, the top governors of the colonies of various countries will give seven points of face.

There are three points left, and that's the sato.

"I'm interested in your merged Aegis car, I don't know the tire ......"

"No, I'm still worried about this!" Li Zitao is still quite eye-catching, and he is easy to do things!

Besides, in the future, he will not be able to repay the old man's contacts in Africa, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and he will still remember that there is a lot of oil waiting to be extracted.

It's all swarthy black gold, relive it once, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it!

"I knew we were going to have a good exchange. Firestone raised his teacup and smiled: "Lee, you are the same as rumored by the outside world, and you take special care of your friends. ”

"Because I don't have many friends in this country, I cherish every friendship. Li Zitao also picked up the teacup and signaled.

It's just that this cup is really a bit pocket-sized, and it's more comfortable to drink in a big bowl of tea.

In his previous life, his favorite cup was a big tea jar, and xxx was printed on it, saying: Falling in love without the purpose of marriage is a hooligan!

Drink a cold cup of tea 'Gu Dong Dong', that is called a pleasure, that is, the toilet running diligently.
