Chapter XXXII
(I still decided to write an article on the struggle for hegemony, I should be able to write about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, there are many classic books in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and I still don't want to join in the fun.) Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info)
Gracia next to her also heard Cai Ajiu's words, but although she has learned Chinese now, she is limited to Mandarin. In fact, not only her, but also Ma Hongtao and his wife, who have been in Nanyue for the longest time, no one else fully understands Cai Ajiu's Cantonese.
Zhou You nodded and said, "Let's go back and talk about ......."
Before the words fell, his phone at Rodriguez rang, and he looked at it, it was the phone number of Bernard, the head of the security company, and it was obvious that he also reported the situation to Zhou You as soon as he got the news.
As for Cai Ajiu, he was originally one of the shareholders of the security company, and he knew many people over there, so it was not surprising that he knew the news before Zhou You. After all, when reporting the situation to Zhou You, you must have a clear understanding of the general situation.
Although Yan Fangqing didn't fully understand Cai Ajiu's words, she also understood that someone was dead, so she immediately went to hug the Central Plains who was already asleep in Zhou You's hand, so that Zhou You could answer the phone with confidence.
Of course, Xiaokang, the nanny in the Central Plains, would not let Yan Fangqing hold the child, otherwise it would be her dereliction of duty. hurriedly came over and picked up Nakahara in front of her.
Zhou You handed Zhongyuan to her and connected the phone. "I'm Evan Zhou."
"Boss, at two o'clock this afternoon, four security guards were escorting five staff members to inspect a gold mine in central Angola when they were attacked by unknown kidnappers, who only learned about it fifteen minutes ago when they received a report from a local villager. I haven't received a call from the other party yet, and I don't know who the other party is. I will rush to Angola as soon as possible to deal with this matter. ”
"You're in Bolivia now, don't rush there. Let Young-Billy in Nigeria deal with it in the past, and he is a little closer. I'm calling him now, and you're going to make arrangements for the Angolan side and don't let this matter affect other arrangements. ”
Subsequently, Zhou You called Yang Billy in Nigeria and arranged the task. Hearing this, Yang Billy not only did not feel a little heavy, but seemed extremely excited.
Zhou You didn't want to make the situation worse because of his impulsiveness, and warned him: "Don't act rashly until the hostages are rescued, I don't want to see a letter of protest from the Angolan government, understand?" ”
"Rest assured, if we can solve some local forces with our hands, the Angolan government will only give us pennants. I'll get the hang of it. ”
Yang Billy may have suffered when he was young, and he was a little perverted in his heart, but his ability was very strong, and Zhou You was still more at ease for him.
Ma Hongtao and they all looked at Zhou You, and when Zhou You hung up the phone, Ma Hongtao asked, "Something happened in Africa?" Is it serious? ”
"It's not something you're worried about today, just spend your night in the cave. You keep playing, I'll go back first. ”
Back in the hotel, Zhou You didn't go directly back to the room, but took Cai Ajiu and Rodriguez to the café on the left side of the first floor. The tour came back with a large number of entourage, plus some relatives and friends, so the hotel was not open to the public, and there was no one in the café.
Zhou You and Cai Ajiu sat next to the glass wall at the back, and Rodriguez and Batistuta were separated by an empty space, blocking the entrance.
"You've been to Angola twice, tell me about the situation there."
Although Cai Ajiu has served as the eldest brother for most of his life, his family-style management style made him only grasp the general direction before, and then deal with things when there is something, the so-called headache cures the head, and the foot hurts the foot. He can find a suitable solution for everything, but if he wants to summarize one, two, or three, he is a little blind.
Hearing Zhou You ask like this, he hesitated for a long time, and he didn't know which angle to introduce, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said: "You should know that Angola has fought a civil war for 27 years, right?" ”
Zhou You nodded and said, "Hasn't the civil war been resolved for a few years?" It's been five years now! ”
Cai Ajiu nodded and said: "The SPLM supported by the former Soviet Union and Cuba, and the UNITA supported by the United States, fought for a total of 27 years, and in 2002, the leader of UNITA was killed, and then peace was ushered in. But the Yankees are not so calm and accept the outcome of defeat, they have been stirring up trouble in Angola, but now those resistance groups are not in the climate. ”
Zhou You asked: "You mean to say that there is a shadow of the Americans behind this matter?" ”
Cai Ajiu hurriedly said: "I don't know this, now I don't even know who did the kidnapping, I don't dare to guess casually." However, in Angola now, although the government army has basically controlled the overall situation, there are ethnic contradictions in it, especially in some rural areas, which are still relatively chaotic, and kidnapping and extortion incidents have occurred frequently, perhaps this is an ordinary kidnapping case. I have not been to Huambo province where the robbery took place, because it is located in the mountainous hinterland of Angola, and the government army is relatively weak, and below the township level, almost all of them are self-managed by tribes, and it is difficult to carry out government orders. ”
Zhou You shook his head and said: "Our security company has a good reputation, not everyone dares to grab the tiger's whiskers, not to mention that we have also paid a lot of money to buy the road...... Don't talk about this, you immediately arrange to send a copy of the information of all the forces within 200 kilometers of the surrounding area where the incident occurred, maybe we will use this incident to kill chickens and monkeys. ”
Cai Ajiu immediately said with some excitement: "Wait at home and do it in a hurry, or ...... I'll be going to Angola tomorrow. ”
Zhou You smiled: "You can go if you want, am I still chaining you and not letting you go...... However, if you want to go over, bring two hundred first-class security guards and I'll call President dos Santos. ”
However, without waiting for the phone call from Zhou You, President dos Santos called directly. Zhou You is waiting for the results of the investigation to come out before arranging countermeasures. But since such a violent incident has occurred, President dos Santos, after knowing about it, will of course call Zhou You to appease him.
Although he has never been to Angola in his previous life or in his life, it does not mean that he does not know anything about it. In fact, he still knows a lot about it, because Angola was once the largest supplier of oil to the mainland, and the oil sent to the interior exceeded that of Venezuela, the largest oil reserve, Saudi Arabia, the largest exporter, and Russia, which was the closest to the mainland.
Since the end of the Angolan civil war in 2002, mainland oil companies have made every effort to lay out Angola's oil fields and have achieved good results. It is also for this reason that Zhou You did not regard Angola as Africa's number one partner, because he could not compete with the mainland government for business.
Now the most enthusiastic people who work with the traveling companies are the neighboring Congo of the Congo, which is very rich in gold and diamonds, diamonds and other metal mines, although they have been fighting with Congo cloth all the time and the internal chaos is also very large. However, due to the chaotic situation, the company has not yet entered the country in full swing and is still negotiating.
In addition to the abundant oil, Angola is also rich in minerals such as gold and diamonds, and many gold mines are discovered there every year, attracting countless companies to enter the country.
Although the company is not involved in the overall development of the country, it provides the most comprehensive security services to many of the mainland, and the five members of the exploration team who were kidnapped this time were employees of a mining company in the mainland.
After receiving a condolence call from President dos Santos, Zhou You expressed his understanding of the tragedy, but also offered to send an investigation team to investigate and increase the number of personnel to strengthen Angola's security forces.
At present, there are about 500 security personnel in Angola from the traveling security companies, nearly half of whom are recruited in Angola, which can be regarded as providing some jobs in Angola.
Even if another 200 people are sent over, it will only be 700 people, which is only a small force for a country. Although Zhou You's security company is much more equipped with weapons than the Angolan army, Zhou You does not dare to mess around in a sovereign country.
President dos Santos did not object to Zhouyou's decision, but suggested how many additional personnel Zhouyou would have to send and how many people must be recruited within Angola, and Zhou You agreed. The other party is mixing sand into the team of Zhou You, but Zhou You has no idea of invading a country, but just wants to use his strength to deter others, so he is not afraid of him mixing sand.
In fact, the greater the power of circumambulation, the better it is for the Angolan government. Because the spearhead of Zhou You's is also aimed at the opponents of the government army.
With the approval of President dos Santos, without the slightest delay, the phone call was made directly to Bernard, who was far away in Bolivia, and asked him to arrange for a security team of 200 people to go to Angola, this team is composed of first-class security guards, each of whom has skilled marksmanship and rich experience on duty.
And Yang Billy also led a fifteen-member action team from Nigeria to Angola, where he was fully responsible for the investigation and operation.
After arranging all the work, Zhou You, who returned to the room, found that Yan Fangqing, who had changed into sexy pajamas, had fallen asleep. However, Zhou You did not waste the remaining time, compared to a few hours of sleep, Yan Fangqing was probably more eager for Zhou You to give her a satisfying enjoyment before leaving.
Sure enough, Yan Fangqing, who was woken up by Zhou You, was just confused for a while, and soon gasped and entangled.
When she fell asleep again, she traveled to Gracia's room, a workaholic who had not yet adjusted to the jet lag and was still at his desk on business.
Zhou You told her in detail about the case in Angola, and the two talked for a long time about the impact of this incident on other aspects. Until the sky had already brightened, in the morning light, the two people merged into one.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the Zhou You family came to the gate of Gurungzhong on the outskirts of the city, and the children were taken by Gracia into the scenic area. Zhou You and Yan Fangqing entered the newly built College of Arts and Sciences amid the sound of firecrackers and the welcome of thousands of teachers and students.
This liberal arts college was formed by the merger of a number of colleges and universities in Xiangcheng City at the beginning of the new century, and was supported by a grant from the Ministry of Finance.
However, in the past few years, the college has been constrained by resources and faculty in all aspects, and its development has been mediocre. As the only university in his hometown, Zhou You has been paying more attention to the development of this university after its success. In addition, he is a celebrity from his hometown, and the society in the mainland, if you don't repay the society after you are developed, it will be as if there is a problem with your character, so Zhou You and Yan Fangqing have also been thinking about this issue.
Zhou You and Yan Fangqing have invested in three mega projects in Xiangcheng, one is a film and television city with an investment of 10 billion, one is a multi-billion storage center invested by Tmall, and the other is a data center with billions of investment by Tencent.
In the past few years, the donation has also exceeded 300 million yuan, although it is a lot, but it is definitely not much.
Therefore, for the future development of the company and to make this liberal arts college a talent base for Zhouyou's companies, Zhou You decided to make a one-time donation of one billion yuan after discussing with Xiao Ma Ge and Liu Qidong, and will open a number of applied disciplines and laboratories in this college.
Although the purpose of this donation is not so simple, the one-time donation of one billion yuan is also shocking to everyone. What's more, although the donation this time was in the name of three companies, it was all private money taken out by Zhou You.
Brother Xiao Ma and Liu Qidong also understood very well, so although they came with Zhou You today, they did not follow Zhou You to steal the limelight except for negotiating with the school leaders about the construction of some supporting disciplines of their own company.
At eleven o'clock, under the witness of the governor of the province and almost all the local leadership team, Zhou You signed a formal donation agreement with the leaders of the school.
Of course, although it is a donation, it is not that Zhou You directly gave the money to the school, on the contrary, the school's use of this money is still heavily restricted, and only about less than 100 million yuan is directly handled by the school. This part of the funding is to improve the treatment of teachers and attract more excellent tutors to join the college.
The remaining funds will be used by a management committee formed by the people appointed by the tour and local leaders, including the school's leadership. These funds include the expansion of the school's physical facilities, the construction of additional teaching buildings, laboratories, the introduction of professional talents, and so on.
Zhou You didn't know much about this, after all, he didn't go to college himself, so he handed it all over to Brother Xiao Ma and Liu Qiaodong. With their capabilities, they certainly know very well what kind of technical reserves their companies need.
When the national media position was boiling, Zhou You left Xiangcheng and returned to London that afternoon. The children still followed him to the UK this time, where the temperature is now around 20 degrees, which is very cool for them to play there.
In addition to them, Le Yao and Yang Mi also went to the UK for a vacation. However, with the attention of Zhou You, even if the two of them go to London, they will not live with Zhou You, but with their children, in a country house that Zhou You bought near Cheltenham, the most beautiful village in the United Kingdom.
In addition, Cai Ajiu and a few retinues also traveled to the United Kingdom, where he will travel from London to Angola to join in the fun.
Indeed, Angola is going to be very lively right now.
