The news came from Mason, who was dealing with the procedures for the transfer of mining rights in the mining area.

"Boss, something went wrong with the mine. ”

Hearing the news, Li Fanyu's brows locked.

"What's the problem?"

"Uh...... Nan Fei's side had been fighting in the past, but the situation was relatively relaxed. But just two weeks ago, the head of the province of Dal, where the mine is located, General Pres, died. Now in power is his son, Shanta Pres.

This guy is a nationalist through and through, and not only has he had friction with Promauai, a small country bordering the province of Dal, but he has also had armed clashes with several warlords in the province. ”

"What does that have to do with us?" Li Fan said foolishly.

In Africa in this time and space, with the exception of Egypt, which became independent from the colonies, the other large countries that were nominally unified have always been warlords. The central government has limited leadership over the provinces under its jurisdiction, and it has been fighting back and forth.

But these warlords all need money, so basically there are no restrictions and targets for foreign-invested enterprises. In fact, it is by virtue of this situation that Orthodoxy has made a lot of money in Africa. Outside of China, the biggest market for freedom fighters is here.

Hearing Li Fanyu's question, Mason was even more embarrassed, "Boss, this mountain tower is an extreme nationalist...... I just told you, didn't I?"

"Aang, what's wrong. ”

"This guy, relying on the money and soldiers in his hands, plans to carry out domestic ...... Revolution. ”

"Revolution?"

"Yes, this guy has a big plan. He doesn't just want to be a provincial warlord, he wants to be the king of the whole country!"

The more Li Fanyu listened, the more confused he became, and he was slightly angry, "What does this have to do with us!

"Okay, okay, boss, after Shanta came to power, he issued a series of decrees. In order to win the hearts and minds of the people to the greatest extent, this guy issued a series of labor laws in his province.

In view of the large number of foreign-funded enterprises in its jurisdiction, the new Employment Law stipulates that all foreign-funded enterprises in the territory of Dal must employ more than 50% of the local indigenous people, and the wages shall not be less than twice the per capita income of Nanfi. ”

Li Fan said angrily: "This guy! It's just nonsense!"

There must be no less than 50 percent of the locals.

It's less than twice the per capita income!

What can those guys who can't even read big characters and wipe their butts with their hands can do?

Are they worth the price!?

He got up and walked around the office twice, and then said into the phone: "Now that China has effective motor technology, it will soon use that rare earth mine." ”

"I know the boss, I originally thought that although this decree is a bit vexatious, if the locals are willing to work, we will not be short of that salary. It's okay to let them do some rough infrastructure work in the mines. So I hired fifty locals from the mine.

But with this rigid employment decree, there is no fear of not having jobs and wages, so those locals don't work at all!"

Isn't this a bunch of uncles!

Li Fanyu is really like a dog in his heart.

Isn't this stupid decree tantamount to letting foreign companies help Dahl Province raise lazy people?

But that's far from the case, and if it were just that, Mason, who had thought about it properly, wouldn't have made this transatlantic call. After all, the per capita salary over there is not high, even if it is to raise fifty uncles, Zhengxin can afford to raise it - even if it is to spend money to buy peace.

"Boss, the most serious problem is that these guys don't just don't work. They don't know where they learned that rare earth ore is valuable, and now a large number of villagers have gathered and started to work with hoes and shovels on some shallow layers in the mining area!"

This is no longer an uncle.

It's a bandit!

"What!?" Li Fanyu was furious, "These guys, even those who have just been civilized, can they refine when they open mines?

"The monazite that was mined was sold to two companies in Canada and Japan. You know, we bought this mine, and a lot of people are in the red. It is likely that these people have been seduced by other companies to be so unscrupulous.

Boss, I just want to ask you for advice, do we need to use any official means to communicate with Nan Fei?"

"Communicate a fart!" Li Fan said stupidly and fiercely, "That mountain tower's intention to seek the country has been clearly revealed, and now it is communicated through official channels, and it can only be conveyed to the central government of Nanfei point-to-point." Do you think the current central government of Nanfi still has influence over Dal Province?"

"Well," Mason sighed, "I thought so, too. Boss, we took this mine so easily, do you think Roger Jones has learned about this before and dumped the hot potato to us?"

Li Fanyu calmed down, frowned and thought for a while, "Mason, this is not important. In any case, the mining rights of this mine are now in our hands. When something like this happens, it has to be resolved as soon as possible. ”

"So...... why don't we hire some armed groups ...... protect the mines?" Mason tentatively asked, in fact, that was the real purpose of his call.

Li Fanyu pondered for a while, and then agreed.

In view of the current situation, the first thing to do is to stop the illegal and barbaric exploitation of those people and gamble on the loss of resources. And ...... let them know the cost to set an example!

It's hard to do such a thing. You can only use some under-the-table means.

Li Fanyu, who has been in Africa for a while, knows very well that the most applicable law in the kind of place in Dal Province is the law of nature; the strong have everything, and the weak, or the weak side, will be broken into pieces by a large group of thugs who have no law in their eyes and no morality in their heads!

In this kind of place, it can only be ruthless.

It's not ruthless, it's unstable in that barren land!

After thinking about this, he picked up the phone and called Mason again, "You can do this matter, you must find a reputable international security company." Don't care about the price, we must express our positive attitude, and tell those ** and Shanta our attitude. When it comes to the interests of the company, there is no negotiation!"

"Okay boss, understood. Mason clearly agrees with Li Fanyu's decision.

"In addition, I have prepared a full set of technicians and production equipment on the Chinese side, which will be sent to Africa in the next two days. The original plan was to refine the mine directly after mining, but now it seems that the province of Dal is not willing to be safe.

You rearrange the rare earth refining site, even if we spend some more transportation costs, we must stay away from the sphere of influence of Shanta, and we must protect the safety of our production environment!

Now, perhaps many people in Dal Province know that rare earths and their extracts are valuable, and the kind of people are insatiable and can't keep up with any crooked thoughts after we produce finished products in the future. Do you understand?"

Mason understood in seconds, "I understand the boss! I'll rearrange and separate mining and refining to ensure the safety of finished rare earths!"

After explaining everything, Li Fanyu nodded and hung up the phone.

But after thinking about it, he didn't feel very relieved.

Considering that the political environment near the mining area is relatively stable, I didn't think too much about it. Now it seems that if this mountain tower controls the province of Dhar, then the days that will not be peaceful in the future will still be long!

The people over there are fierce, and civilian weapons are overflowing. Even if mining and refining are separated, there is a high risk that the transportation link will be at risk.

He smashed his mouth, thought about it for a while, and came to the R&D center.

Liu Qing, who was happily researching the motor with Wang Yu, was brought out.

"Aren't you idle, hurry up and bring your people with me, now, give you a big job in the special vehicle research and development department!"
