501 Fifteen tons of gold, worth the risk

"We can settle at 60% of the international gold price. Kabila looked at Xie Kai and frowned.

This Chinese is too greedy.

"I think it's better to get cash. Xie Kai was still not satisfied.

Gold and diamonds are the most popular hard currencies in the world, but they are willing to settle directly in gold, or even settle at 60% of the international gold price.

"Mr. Xie, if that's the case, I think it's hard for us to get along. Kabila said with a gloomy face.

"Thank you, this price is already very reasonable...... Nor has this been the case in the whole of Africa. Kovarubi hopes that Xie Kai will be less greedy, and that as long as Xie Kai finds a channel, he will be able to earn 40% of the profit, and he will not even have to take risks.

Xie Kai looked at Ibrahim, who had been silent.

Seeing Xie Kai looking at him, Ibrahim directly twisted his head to the side.

"50%, if you agree, at this price. Xie Kai stretched out a slap, Kabila's face became even more gloomy, and he was about to refuse, but Xie Kai didn't give him a chance to speak, and then spoke, "I think you know better than me about the source of this gold." General, gold is indeed very attractive in the world, but it cannot be used directly for settlement. If you buy it in Europe or other countries, even if they want it, the price they give is far lower than that, and the risk is very high......"

Kabila was silent.

Xie Kai was right, everyone knew these situations, otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of paying directly in gold for the arms transaction with Xie Kai.

Just to make the price of gold higher, in exchange for more weapons and equipment.

"All settled in gold, although gold is valuable, it is the guarantee of the currency issued by most national banks, but this thing can't be used to buy things after all......, right?

After hearing the other party say that he would pay in gold, he was thinking about how to monetize the gold.

The state needs to reserve gold, but individuals cannot trade it directly with the state.

There is no problem with the small number.

Kabila was generous, and he gave hundreds of catties of gold directly as a greeting gift, and threw out 400 kilograms of gold in the first business.

Gold density is very high, 500 kg together, and not much.

But it's worth the money!

If Kabila had no gold in his hands, Xie Kai wouldn't have believed it at all.

If there is really no more, the other party will take out 500 kilograms of gold before seeing Xie Kai?

No fool would do that.

Xie Kai concluded that there was more gold in the other party's hands, and this time it was just a temptation, if the price was too high at the beginning, then the loss would not be one or two.

He can also be sure that this price is much higher than that of the capitalists in Europe and the United States.

"If it is to do business with our government and settle gold, there is no problem, the amount of gold in our national bank is not too much, and gold is urgently needed. But the government sells weapons to you, and that has a big international impact – support for the rebels. Even the Soviet Union could not support, let alone China, which would never interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. The transaction can only be ...... by me personally" Xie Kai didn't give the other party a chance to speak at all.

The relationship between Kovarubi and the other party made Xie Kai realize that the people in the Tanzanian delegation were in China before, and they should have been looking for support and assistance for Kabila.

When it comes to Africa's rebellion against tyranny, the Black Brothers naturally feel that China, the big brother of the Third World, should support it.

It's just a pity that in the end......

"You're as greedy as the vampire capitalists in the West. Kabila gritted her teeth and said, the fat man's face was a little distorted.

When Xie Kai heard this, he also smiled, "General, it's not that I'm too greedy, but I'm doing business, at least, I can't lose money, right? Do you only have 500 kilograms of gold in your hands? Handling these 500 kilograms of gold is very troublesome, after all, this gold needs to be laundered......

"We only have 500 kilograms of gold. Kabila shook her head and said, "So, the settlement price you gave is too low." ”

"Then there's no way. Xie Kai shrugged and spread his hands.

Just kidding.

When Kabila overthrew Mobutu's rule, he relied on the support of two small and poor countries, Uganda and Burundi, to overthrow Mobutu's huge army, which together could not defeat Mobutu.

"Xie Kai, Kabila is our friend and will be our big customer in the future. Ibrahim saw that the two of them had broken down and spoke directly.

He wanted to remind Xie Kai that Congo's rich resources were what they valued.

Because resources can be exchanged for money.

"General, I only met General Kabila today, and we said that we were friends, a little earlier. As for saying that it is a customer, it is difficult to say this, and you have to ask Colonel Liao Dong. "Xie Kai doesn't give face at all.

What can Ibrahim produce?

The $50 million is still a kickback from the arms deal between Shekai and Iraq.

If he can use his domestic connections in Iraq to invest here, it will not be a problem.

Obviously, he can't even supply guns and ammunition to this side on a large scale. Otherwise, Kabila would not have looked for Xie Kai at all.

With such a lucrative opportunity, who will give it up?

"Comrade Xie Kai, General Kabila wants our mercenaries to help them train their guerrillas to fight, and at the same time, we also hope that our mercenaries can take over his business of overthrowing Mobutu's tyrannical rule...... "Kovarubi knows that Xie Kai only accepts money.

I actually talked about it before, and Xie Kai was very tempted.

"Yes, we can pay gold and diamonds for training guerrillas, and in the later war contracts, we will pay a certain percentage of gold first, and the rest can be ......mortgaged with engineering, mining rights, etc." Kabila's tone was a little low, almost squeezed out between his teeth.

Xie Kai's eyes lit up suddenly.

There are not many countries in Africa that have more resources than the Congo.

In particular, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is now the Republic of Zaire, is quite rich in various mineral resources, and it is precisely for this reason that it will eventually be in the midst of war.

"This is not in line with our principles. Xie Kai finally sighed, shook his head and said.

"What do you want?" Kabila felt like she had been tricked by Shekai.

He even betrayed the rights of the state, but the other party still did not let go at all.

"Our country's foreign policy, that is win-win cooperation. Although your conditions are very attractive, but to be honest, General, I am only a person, not a government. We do not make estimates. Even if you are now the President of the Republic of Izar, I think it will be difficult for me to reach a cooperation agreement with you on such a matter. ”

"Why?"

"What can we do if you make conditions now, take them back directly when the time comes, and forcibly nationalize the assets we have invested?" Xie Kai's words were very realistic. "Mobutu seems to have done that, right?"

Mobutu nationalized many of the mines invested by Western countries in Zaire, but they all ended up in his own pockets.

"I'm not the tyrant of Mobutu!" Kabila never thought that Xie Kai would be so difficult.

"I know, General, that you want to liberate the people of the whole country. But what if our deal is made public? Before the founding of New China, some people in our country signed some treaties with the little devils, and in the end it led to a big demonstration, and those who signed the contract were also called traitors......" Xie Kai said calmly.

The other party uses the mining rights of mines and other mines as collateral, which is what everyone likes.

But that's not what Xie Kai wants to see.

In the beginning, when Kabila was in his infancy, it might not be a big problem.

When he gets a foothold, or if something goes wrong at home, all the investment will be wasted.

Mine investment is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time if you want to collect costs.

"Thank you, General Kabila really wants to work with us. ”

"I also really hope to work together for a long time. Xie Kai looked at Kovarubi, "So, gold is settled at 5% of the international price, and this is just the beginning." I think people in Western countries are only willing to give 3% at most, right?"

Thirty percent, just Xie Kai guessed.

"No, they only give two percent. Kovarubi is definitely a pig teammate, Kabila looked at him with an unhappy face, but the old guy didn't care at all, "Kabila, if you really want to develop and grow as soon as possible, save the people of your country, and no longer be brutalized by Mobutu, Comrade Xie Kai, will be a very good partner to work with." ”

"Not necessarily. Xie Kai looked at Kabila and said with a smile, "However, I can provide any cheap weapons and equipment other than nuclear weapons and strategic weapons, that's for sure." ”

Xie Kai now suddenly felt that it seemed more appropriate to position himself as an arms dealer.

"It's true, Iraq's new tanks and anti-aircraft missiles were all sold by Xie Kai. Ibrahim spoke.

He now knows better than anyone that Xie Kai is his big benefactor, and it is too easy to make money with Xie Kai. Even about his own security, he felt that he could find a few strong mercenaries to protect him all the time in the future.

If the president wants to kill him, not to mention overthrowing the president, at least, there will be someone to protect him and escape, right?

"Comrade Xie Kai, I need your support. Kabila said solemnly, "I agree to settle the ...... at fifty percent."

"How much gold do you have?" Xie Kai asked.

Kabila was clearly reluctant to answer Xie Kai's question, he was afraid that Xie Kai would rob him.

"Xie Kai, why are you asking so much, as long as General Kabila can afford the hiring fee and the cost of weapons procurement, there will be no problem, right?" Kovarubi also felt that Xie Kai was a little excessive.

Kabila had a lot of gold and diamonds in his hands, and even he didn't know the exact amount.

When he killed Amin, Uganda also gave him a lot of gold.

"That's important. On the one hand, I need to know how much I can get this gold out, and on the other hand, I need to know how much weapons and equipment I have to prepare and through what channels I can safely deliver it to my customers. Xie Kai said calmly. "If it's just five hundred kilograms of gold, at most slowly, I'll be able to make a move easily. ”

If there is more gold and it is put into the market, he will be the first to be cleaned up, so he can only go to the National Bank to talk about it, the amount is too small, and people don't look down on it, right?

"Not much. We've accumulated so many years, and it's only less than 15 tons......," Kabila said through gritted teeth.

When he said this, he was completely on guard against Xie Kai and Liao Dong, for fear that these two guys would take the risk to arrest him.

"So much?" said Ibrahim's mouth with drool, and Kovarubi's eyes widened.

Seeing their looks, Kabila took two steps back, even more nervous.

Liao Dong looked at Xie Kai, if Xie Kai gave the order, he would not hesitate to do it.

Fifteen tons of gold was enough for them to take a risk.

Xie Kai was also shocked, completely unthinking why the other party had accumulated so much gold in his hands.

He didn't have the heart to rob the other party at all.

"General Kabila, so much gold, if converted into dollars, is hundreds of millions. If you want, I can pay sixty percent!" Xie Kai said calmly. "Or to dollars, or to weapons and equipment...... As for the follow-up cooperation, I think, you will not be short of gold. Xie Kai said.

Kabila definitely has gold mines in his hands.

And the gold mines with very high yields, otherwise, it would not have been possible to accumulate so much.

According to the international gold price, even if it is cheaper, a ton of gold will cost tens of millions of US dollars.

More than ten tons, you can talk to the official.

"No, Comrade Xie Kai, I think it's better to trade slowly, and settle it at fifty percent!" Kabila shook her head.

He was afraid that Xie Kai had really robbed him of his gold.

Fifteen tons, that's all he has now.

"Okay, no problem, we can talk about cooperation now. There are no problems with training guerrillas, and with mercenaries for combat, there are no problems. It is not even a problem to provide troops to enter the eastern part of the Republic of Zaire and rob their gold and diamond mines!" Xie Kai snapped his fingers. "What weapons and equipment do you need for the first deal? Tell me, I can arrange for it to be transported in the near future. ”

Rich don't make bastards.

What's more, this is a two-pronged business.

Weapons and equipment are definitely not the price of cabbage, and as long as the gold is taken back and negotiated with the official management department, it will be double the profit.

All this money can be put into Xie Kai's own pocket.

"Can the 107 rocket launcher be provided? the kind of ...... you have in the back of the pickup" Kabila breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xie Kai did not ask him where the gold was hidden, nor did he ask him where the gold came from.

Kovarrubi and Ibrahim glanced at each other, and both saw regret in each other's eyes.

"As long as it's not a strategic missile or a nuclear warhead, it's not a nuclear submarine or something, and we have it in China, it's not a big problem!" Xie Kai patted his chest and promised.
