Volume VI Chapter 677 Drug Market
readx;
Luo Xiang's words said that Li Mo's heart was on the road. When www.biquge.info first established a training base in Chad, the main purpose was to avoid people's eyes and ears and train a secret force for themselves.
And with the establishment of the Xue Ying mercenary organization, more benefits are gradually revealed. Needless to say, there is no need to talk about war training, and in Africa, such a group of people are active everywhere. As long as you are not afraid of death and dare to fight and kill, you will not have to worry about having no business to do. And when the scale of a mercenary organization reaches a certain level, in this war-torn part of Africa, it is not just the money of the person who eliminates the disaster for others. There are many more things that can be done, such as controlling strategic points, grabbing resources and minerals, and so on.
As far as Li Mo knows, many of the mercenary organizations active in Africa are secretly supported by state forces. One more Somalia, and no one else can publicly accuse anything.
However, sending regular national defense forces to join the mercenary organization for training is always a dark thing for the outside world, everyone has a tacit understanding with each other, and the fight is all in secret, on the bright side, no one tears the fig leaf that blocks the public eye, as for how much benefit can be obtained through the mercenary organization under control, it depends on their own ability.
Li Mo planned to call the falcon back, and everyone had a meeting to discuss it. Because once this plan is implemented, it is not a matter of one or two departments, it can be said that most departments in the organization will be involved. Li Mo sometimes likes to be arbitrary, but on some issues, he likes to brainstorm and let his subordinates discuss and discuss.
After receiving Li Mo's order, the General Staff Department immediately organized a group of staff officers who had no problem with their loyalty to discuss and analyze this plan, and after the high-level meeting, they had to come up with a concrete way to implement it.
The external departments of the intelligence department, the sales department, and the production department all took action and revolved around this plan; After the news from all parties was summarized, Li Mo thought that he had approved the plan in his heart, but how to implement it still had to hold a meeting to draw a conclusion.
On this day, Li Mo was deliberating the results of the Supreme Court's trial of several major cases against the navy and the maritime department against illegal fishing in other countries, when Fan Qingqing came in to report that a guest from China had arrived.
"Who is it?" Li Mo put down the pen in his hand and asked in surprise.
He had not received a report from the relevant departments in China before, stating that the person who came was not from the political axe, and his personal friend, if he wanted to come to Somalia, would definitely call him directly.
"The message was sent back by Taurus, and he didn't call you directly, but to the office." Fan Qingqing replied. Now she has basically integrated into this big family, and usually internally, calling someone is a nickname, rather than calling a name.
Li Mo was taken aback, and he was sent to the Golden Triangle region to cooperate with General Ne Win, the leader of the armed forces of the drug lords in the Golden Triangle, to set up a small arms manufacturing base to produce arms for the armed and drug lords in the Golden Triangle region. Li Mo didn't plan how much profit this base could bring to the organization at the beginning, but only wanted to press a nail in the Golden Triangle region, and maybe it would be useful in the future.
Later, in order to restrict the 'feudal officials' like the Golden Bull outside, Li Mo sent the elephant over again, because Li Mo sold a batch of infantry fighting vehicles to General Ne Win, and the elephant used to help Ne Wen train soldiers, and another purpose was to form a network of organizations in the Golden Triangle.
And this time, if the guest who came came wanted to convey it through the Golden Bull, it must be related to General Ne Win, and maybe he even knew him.
A figure appeared in Li Mo's mind, and he quickly stood up and asked, "Where is the guest?" ”
Fan Qingqing glanced at Li Mo and said angrily, "I've never seen you in such a hurry, aren't you just a drug dealer?" Noticing that Li Mo's face sank, Fan Qingqing hurriedly smiled and hugged Li Mo's arm, rubbed it slightly with her fullness, and said, "I have already sent someone to the airport to greet you, you can rest assured!" ”
Li Mo was distracted by Fan Qingqing's small movements, reached out and grabbed a handful of the fullness, shook his head helplessly and smiled, "The other party is a drug lord, I am an arms dealer, there is no difference between the two, they are almost the same kind of people." You, the previous work of national security has almost fixed your mind. ”
Pouting, Fan Qingqing didn't intend to distinguish either.
Li Mo did not choose to receive Gu Tianfei in the office of the Ministry of National Defense, after all, the other party is a drug lord, and his current identity is attracting attention, if the relationship between the two is discovered by the outside world, it will always be a big trouble. Li Mo chose a villa in the southern district, this villa usually has two owners, Fan Qingqing and Fox, Li Mo occasionally comes here to live for a few days.
When he met Gu Tianfei again, Li Mo was very happy. At the beginning in Huaxia, the relationship between Li Mo and Gu Tianfei was good. Both sides have received help from each other, but after the focus of Li Mo's development shifted to the Somali side, there was less contact with each other.
"Brother Gu, why are you here? I heard that you are no longer trading in Huaxia, but have returned to Wa. After Fan Qingqing poured a cup of warm tea for the two of them, Li Mocai asked with a smile.
Gu Tianfei is no different from two years ago, and if there is any difference between him and the successful person, he looks a little darker and more resolute than the successful person before.
"After you left Huaxia in 05, I thought that the country already knew about me, and the surname Suo sold all the properties of Shucheng and returned to Wa with a group of loyal people. Speaking of which, I really have to thank you, big brother, if it weren't for you, I don't know when I will be able to return to my hometown. Although Gu Tianfei was a little grateful in his words, he was more happy.
At the beginning, Gu Tianfei's father failed to participate in the reading movement and died, and fled to China alone, although he has laid a foundation for more than 20 years, although Huaxia is good, for Gu Tianfei who was born in northern Myanmar, it is far less good than his homeland.
However, the northern part of Myanmar is too complicated, and various forces are full of it. Internal struggles for power and profit, the infiltration and influence of external forces, conflicts and contradictions with the political axe army, conflicts of interests and vendettas are staged every day. Gu Tianfei wants to avenge his father, how difficult is it to fulfill his father's wishes? Although the northern part of Myanmar is close to China, and as a branch of overseas Chinese, it is said that the motherland is the closest and should be the happiest, but in fact this is not the case. Because the forces represented by Gu Tianfei and Ne Wen are not Chinese organizations in the Kokang region, they are not close to Huaxia, let alone have the support of Huaxia.
Later, he also met Li Mo and provided a large number of arms and materials, so that Ne Wen persevered in the encirclement and suppression of other drug lords and the political axe army, and gradually developed and grew. With more than 2,000 armed men in hand, as well as heavy weapons such as armored vehicles, they have repelled the attacks of the political axe army several times and have gained a foothold in the Golden Triangle.
Of course, Gu Tianfei's thanks Li Mo would not accept it, and it can be said that there is more cooperation than friendship between the two sides.
"I'm here to ask you for help this time, I hope Xiao Mo can help your eldest brother!"
Li Mo's face was straight, and he said, "Whatever the eldest brother says, just say it if you need it." The little brother can be regarded as having some strength now, and some things will definitely help you. ”
Gu Tianfei, who had always been a little apprehensive, finally showed a happy smile when he heard this. Li Mo is still the same Li Mo, he has not changed because of the change of identity, before he came, he was very worried about this aspect, Li Mo is now a leader of a team, and he is also a prince in the world, and he is armed with a drug lord, more than one level higher. At the very least, the other party has tens of thousands of armed forces in his legal hands, but he is not visible, and his name is on the blacklist of Interpol. If it weren't for Somalia this time, it was Li Mo's territory, and Gu Tianfei would not have left the Golden Triangle no matter what.
"Xiao Mo, I came here this time mainly for two things that I need your help with." Gu Tianfei said, "The first thing is that I have withdrawn from the Chinese market, and the sales of the goods are not ideal, I hope you can help me open a channel in Africa." ”
Another thing Gu Tianfei didn't say immediately, but looked at Li Mo with a little nervousness.
Li Mo frowned slightly, thought for a while and asked, "Brother Gu, is there a big market in Africa?" White powder should be something that can only be consumed by rich people, right? Except for a few countries in Africa, most people don't even have enough to eat, so how can they afford to buy white powder? ”
The world's largest drug market is the United States, with annual drug profits reaching 100 billion dollars. From this it can be seen that economic factors are very important for the sale of drugs.
The richest people in Africa are the tribal chiefs and the leaders of armed groups. Most of these people are strong-willed people, and drugs are difficult for these people to accept.
The global drug trade exceeds $1 trillion a year, accounting for 10% of total global trade, even more than oil and gas, and the profits can be imagined. Developed countries are the most important markets for drugs, and Africa's drug market is also available, but on a smaller scale, and Africa is an important transit point in the global drug distribution network.
Whether it's Colombia or the Golden Crescent, most of the drugs destined for Europe transit through Africa. Li Mo wondered in his heart, did Gu Tianfei also plan to do so?
"Xiao Mo, although the market in Africa is small, it is relative. Across Africa, drug sales are also $10 billion or $20 billion a year. In the past few years, the drug production in the Golden Triangle has been out of order, and now it has withdrawn from the Chinese market, and Ne Wen and I can only think of this way. It is going to open up the situation in Africa first, and then also transit through Africa to sell drugs to Europe. Gu Tianfei explained with a wry smile. At the end of the Kunsha era, the drugs in the Golden Triangle have been pulled down from the position of the world's leader, and now it is either the new boss Golden Crescent, or Colombia has more drugs every year than the Golden Triangle. Colombia, on the other hand, is close to the United States, and several tons of drugs enter the American market through various channels every day, and the profits are staggering.
"I remember there was also a drug base in Africa, the Black Triangle, north of South Africa. The market here should have been occupied a long time ago, right? Li Mo was very satisfied with Gu Tianfei's withdrawal from the Huaxia drug market, so that there would be fewer sources of drugs in Huaxia, and the market would definitely shrink. Even if other drug bases occupy the market, transportation channels are much more difficult.
