Volume 7 Chapter 823 Digging Li Mo's Foundation
readx;
With a gloomy face, the mouse walked out of the conference hall, came to a side room, made a phone call, and walked out ten minutes later. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hi...... Oriental Lee! In the hallway, the black councillor Alamien also happened to come out of a room, and immediately greeted the rat when he saw it.
The two glanced at each other, and then tacitly walked into the room where Alameen had just come out.
"Dongfang Li, give, smoke this!" Alamien pulled out a cigar and handed it to the rat.
"Authentic Cuban goods, I sent them to a customer in Colombia." Alamien himself lit one and took a sip and laughed.
"What do you think of tonight's meeting?" The rat asked, glancing at the black councillor, who didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
Alameen's eyes flickered, and he looked at the mouse for a while before he became serious and said, "I don't know, but I smell the smell of conspiracy." ”
Of course, the rat would not believe that the other party was only aware of this, it was the break of the meeting, he had just reported the matter to Somalia, and he believed that Alamien must have also reported the content of this unusual meeting to the people behind him.
From Alameen's answer, it can be seen that the two have not believed each other until now, and there are still reservations in their words.
"We can't give them the intention to control the African market, because that would be a disaster for both of us." The mouse hesitated and took the initiative to speak. There is also competition between him and the other side, both are African arms dealers, and behind them are also African arms companies. But there is one thing that both of them understand, that is, the huge African market, the two of them are completely unable to eat, and because of the geographical location, the two sides of the south and the north are at some point, it is most advantageous to work together, such as now.
Bruni Bruni suddenly brought Bout, the 'merchant of death', and Bout's speech at the meeting focused on the African arms market, which made the rats also aware of the conspiracy. Admittedly, many of Bout's words are good, but they are out of place until now.
How many years have passed since the time of 'Merchant of Death' Bout? In a few years in the underground arms black market, it is completely possible to completely erase all traces left before. And how many of Bout's big customers are there now? Many countries that were previously subject to arms embargoes and sanctions have now lifted their bans, and their customer markets are being occupied by the G-8 and some emerging arms exporters, making it too difficult to reopen the formal markets of these countries with the strength of the underground arms black market. So Bout here, there is a meaning of stealing the concept in it.
And the underground arms market in Africa is extremely large, and rats are convinced of this. Because he has in his hands a smuggling network covering the black market of underground arms in Africa. But how big is Africa? There are many armed groups of all kinds, and the borders and coastlines here are almost undefended, so it can be said that as long as the arms dealers have a little ability, they can get a piece of the pie here. However, the sales center of the Arms Dealers Alliance is only composed of a group of underground arms dealers with relatively large international influence, accounting for less than one-fifth of the global underground arms black market. Coupled with the fact that each arms dealer has its own 'traditional territory', it is unlikely that the sales center will control the African market.
So why did Bout bring it up? Bruni must have known in advance that Bout had proposed 'cooperation', but he did not refuse, but instead brought Bout to the Heavenly Palace, for what purpose?
Is it to break the existing market division and redivide the international underground arms market, or is it for Africa? If it is the former, then it should not only be pointed out that the African market has potential to be tapped, but other regions, such as South America, such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia, have great markets and potentials for the underground arms trade.
If Bruni's purpose is for Africa, the real intention of the rat has to think a little deeper.
Bruni is an American, and has a relationship with the major arms companies in the United States and the American political axe army, and the mouse even thinks that Bruny is an agent of the American political axe to the underground arms black market.
Then Bruni wants to 'exaggerate' the potential of Africa, a market that originally belongs to his rats and Alameen, and solemnly bring it up through Bout to arouse the interest of the other councilors, it is really a conspiracy against him or Alameen.
Who does the rat represent? Xingchen Group, Xingchen Group is Li Mo's lifeblood, and it is also the backing for Li Mo to stand in the world and others. Once the African market is greedily targeted by other directors, according to the 'cooperation proposal' put forward by Bout, the potential of the African market will be tapped, and everyone will come to Africa to pay a piece of the pie, which is tantamount to encroaching on the market of the Xingchen Group, and the survival of an arms company is fundamentally the market. As a rising star, Xingchen Group is not as good as those old arms companies, and the existing global arms market has been almost distributed by various arms groups. There is only one Africa, and it is only an 'incomplete' market for the Xingchen Group, if this part is taken away again, how can the Xingchen Group survive?
In an instant, the mouse thought of tonight's meeting, which was probably a conspiracy against the Xingchen Group. The main messenger behind the scenes may be the US political axe.
Glancing at Alameen, who was silently smoking a cigar, the mouse thought about it. What's going on this guy's mind? It is said that in the African market, the South African arms company occupies a larger share than the Xingchen Group, and once these people unite to enter Africa under the 'excuse', the arms company behind Alamien will suffer the most damage.
But it seems that the black director is not in a hurry? Well? It's not the same as the feeling I gave in the meeting before, could it be that when I reported to the people behind me, what instructions were given?
The rat's heart is in the heart, South Africa ...... United States? Could it be that the two have reached some kind of agreement on this matter?
If the United States guarantees the interests of the South African arms company, and the African market really has potential to be tapped, if it is the South African arms company, the Americans promise not to infringe on their own interests, but only target the market of the Star Group. If the other side is compensating for the benefits in some aspects, the rat will not be able to refuse the American's proposal.
As soon as he thought of this, the mouse became a little vigilant. It seems that this black governor is not necessarily an 'ally' either.
"Dongfang Li, you're right. Those people are too greedy, they have their own market and they are trying to hit us in Africa, which is absolutely intolerable. I think we can work together to reject this conspiracy. Alameen's face changed for a moment, and he seemed to have made up his mind, and said solemnly to the mouse.
If it was when he first entered the room, the mouse would really believe in the sincerity of the black director, and would agree with the other party's favorable proposal, but since he had doubts about Alameen, the mouse would have even more ideas.
"Well, Africa is our market, and the potential there should be tapped by both of us, not by the British, the Middle Easterners, and the Americans. They have their own market, but they still seek our own interests, this is a banditry, we must not let them succeed, otherwise sooner or later the two of us will be squeezed out of the African market. The mouse nodded in agreement, expressing his dissatisfaction with resentment on his face.
A smug glint appeared in Alameen's eyes, which quickly faded. He said to the mouse, "We are against this kind of robber plunder, but Dongfang Li, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our two families to refuse the other members of the council. ”
"So what do you say? I listen to you. The mouse was very anxious, and hurriedly said as if I would like to take your opinion as the standard.
The rat who came out of the room looked left and right before a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. The black man had a good idea, and even proposed a way for the two to cooperate directly with Bout and Bruni.
Hmph, do you really think you're a fool?
Putting aside the other directors and working directly with the Americans? Isn't this really luring the wolf into the house? Moreover, the Americans and Alamien are also too cunning and greedy.
At the meeting just now, the real purpose of making a 'reasonable' allocation of the African market through the Council is probably not to do so, but to put pressure on the rats to agree to Alameen's proposal, which is their real purpose.
The United States is the world's largest arms exporter and has the world's largest arms smuggling center, while in Africa, the Americans are not very powerful. The purpose of this meeting is likely to be several. The first is to create pressure on the rats to allow the rats to agree to Bruni (Americans) to enter the African underground arms market, expand the influence of the United States, and bring benefits to the American fire dealers. The second is to compress and snatch the living space of the Xingchen Group, and the ultimate goal is Li Mo, the leader of the Somali military.
As for the cooperation proposed by Bout at the meeting, it is likely to be a trick to create pressure on the rats. The Americans also do not want other arms dealers to enter the underground arms market in Africa, but to control at least half of their interests in the name of monopoly.
However, the rat believes that if he refuses, then the Americans may also give up some of their interests in order to attack Li Mo and cooperate with other directors to enter the African market together.
For Americans, economic interests are the second priority for the time being, and cracking down on Li Mo, a 'political enemy', is the first priority.
The rat couldn't help but admire the Americans, who could become the only superpower in the world, and their intelligence and strategy should not be underestimated, and this time they hit Li Mo's famous door at once. Today's Xingchen Group, in the global legal arms trade, the market is very small, and only a few products bring not too many benefits every year. It is a little difficult to maintain the basic needs of the group, not to mention that Li Mo still has a large group of subordinates and troops to support, and he has to take out money from time to time to support the political axe. If the interests of the underground arms market are lost, the Xingchen Group will also be broken, and its development will certainly be seriously affected.
It really comes to this point, and the purpose of the Americans has been achieved. Li Mo, who can't even afford the finances, is not enough to become an opponent of the Americans, and even if he casually creates some trouble for Li Mo, the Li Mo group itself will collapse.
The economy is also a kind of combat effectiveness, or an extremely powerful kind,
