Chapter 33: The True Purpose

In 2006, Nigeria ranked third in terms of economic aggregate among African countries, and later surpassed the old power South Africa to become Africa's largest economic power. www.biquge.info Of course, this is because Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, and their country has very rich oil reserves.

This Chinese New Year is also one of the first African countries for mainland companies to invest, but in the past, they used to use foreign security companies. After the establishment of Zhouyou's security company, because the income of those soldiers in South America is not high, Zhouyou can also use low-price competition to grab a lot of business share.

What's more, relying on the investment plan in South America, Zhouyou has almost all the large multinational enterprises in China into the network, so now these enterprises in the mainland are using Zhouyou's security companies for security protection.

Nigeria's southern delta region has one of the largest oil reserves in Africa, and mainland companies have a number of development projects here. But local pirates and tribes have always had a lot of opinions about development, and there are multiple kidnappings and ransom incidents against energy companies every year.

Billy Young accepted the employment of a security company in the United States to help them deal with a vicious incident and came to Nigeria. When the time in Angola reached him, the affairs on the Nigerian side had also come to an end, so he did not delay and got on the plane to Angola that night.

At the same time, a chartered plane also took off from the airport in Bogotรก, and the plane was full of excellent security guards mobilized by the security company. They simply boarded the plane with their belongings, and in Luanda, the capital of Angola, the Angolan branch of the security company, they had already prepared body armor and a full set of firearms.

By the time he arrived in London, Billy had arrived in the small city of Bailundo, in the province of Huambo, with his fifteen crews, and the kidnapping took place in a highland river less than thirty kilometers from the city.

Decades ago, some sand gold was found in the river, and although it was not in high content, it also provided a lot of military spending for the opposition. After the end of the civil war, the local government also surveyed the mineral deposits here, but with their simple equipment, nothing was found. Therefore, the exploration license was re-issued here, and after the mainland mining company Southwest Gold obtained the exploration rights of nearly 500 square kilometers of metal minerals along the river, it hired two security teams and 16 security guards to provide round-the-clock security work.

Their camp in Bailundo was set up in a small local hotel, and because the locals were extremely taboo about the dead, the bodies of the dead security guards were laid to rest in a cemetery on the outskirts of the city. Yang Billy didn't delay in the slightest, didn't even drink a sip of water, and directly had people take him to the cemetery.

Although it is winter in Angola, it is still a highland area at an altitude of 1,500 meters. But the temperature here has reached more than 25 degrees during the day and above 18 degrees at night, but fortunately, Yang Billy came in time, and it has not been 24 hours, and the body has not yet decomposed.

As the de facto third-in-command of the security company, Billy Yang's arrival made these ordinary security guards show an expression of admiration, but they had heard a lot of Billy Young's glorious deeds. Although this Oriental man is not large in size and strength, and many ordinary security guards may be stronger than him in his bare hands, he has a proud record of single-handedly solving a violent gang of more than a dozen people in northern Peru.

Moreover, the story of him and Zhou You solving more than 60 pirates in the Seychelles has also spread, and in this peaceful era, it is very rare for a person to have dozens of lives on his hands.

In a way, Billy Young is now a sign of the security company. And because of his outstanding ability, he did not lose his reputation.

There are no freezers here in Angola, and the preservation of corpses is a very troublesome matter. Billy looked at the wounds on the body and had a large pile of ice bought from the cold storage, at least until his family came from Luanda, and then cremated and shipped back to Colombia.

"Captain Fatikona, eighteen hours have passed since yesterday afternoon, is there any new development in the case? Did the other party call and ask for conditions? โ€

"No, nothing, and even now, no organization has claimed responsibility for this incident."

Young Billy nodded. "Okay, let's go to the scene of the incident now."

Getting into the car, he dialed Santiago, the head of the Luanda branch. "We have applied to the Angolan government to assist us in blocking the roads around the entire Bailundo, and even if we can't catch them, we have to keep them in the province of Huambo."

Santiago said with some embarrassment: "It's been almost twenty hours, and it's hard for us to determine each other's whereabouts. โ€

Yang Billy was quite dissatisfied with his attitude, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't they drive away the two off-road vehicles of the exploration team?" Let's start with these two SUVs. In addition to providing the Angolan government with a sum of US$ 500,000 for the event, all of our personnel were sent out to investigate the movements of the two vehicles. Also, the two satellite phones they carry with them, don't they have any signal yet? โ€

"Yes, the other party is quite alert."

Hanging up the phone, Billy Yang muttered in a low voice: "In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks will have nothing to hide. โ€

The river valley where the incident took place is far from people, and it is more than five kilometers from the nearest village. There used to be a gold panning site that had dug potholes into the river valley, with only a few dilapidated asbestos tile shacks standing crumblingly on the river beach.

A Toyota SUV was still sitting next to the shack, the door was wide open, there were several bullet holes in the door, and there was a pool of blackened blood under the door. An improvised cordon fenced off the crime scene, where two security guards guarded to prevent some locals from coming and stealing the car.

About a kilometre upstream, the site surveyed by the exploration team, where several small pieces of equipment were still in place, was also cordoned off and guarded by two security guards.

Billy looked at both sites and quickly came to a conclusion. The thug who attacked should have attacked the exploration team upstream first, and after controlling everyone, three people came to grab the car. However, the security guards on duty at the car were very vigilant, and first relied on the car to maneuver with the other party, but they were outnumbered and forced to get out of the car by the other party, so they died. There was also a pool of blood not far away, but there was no body at the scene, which means that the other party was only injured, not killed.

What puzzled Billy Yang was that there were three gun-wielding security guards at the exploration site, but why did they arrest them without firing even a single shot?

Returning to the improvised road from the riverbank, Youngbili carefully surveyed the roadside, but found nothing. The exploration team drove three cars, two of which were robbed, and even if there were injured, they were loaded into the cars, so it was almost impossible to find each other by bloodstains.

"There's only one road here, have you found any results along the way?"

"Not yet, we're outsiders here."

Yang Billy shook his head and said: "That immaturity shows that our propaganda is not enough, report it, and let the headquarters cooperate to put pressure on the government to increase the reward amount." Anyone who gives a useful clue can be rewarded with two thousand dollars, and ten thousand dollars if they can lead us directly to the bandits. โ€

Zhou You, who arrived in London, got a report with a face, and said indifferently: "The bonus is too small, since I want to make a move, I have to give a bounty price that shocks everyone, and I want anyone to know that if I go against me, I will face my irresistible revenge." โ€

That afternoon, the whole of Angola was boiling over the kidnapping that had taken place the day before yesterday. Zhou You not only sent a team of more than 300 people to search in Angola, but also had the government send half of the police force to investigate. At the same time, the million-dollar bounty price got everyone excited.

However, at times like these, some people have a hard time.

The Royal Bank of Scotland's cooperation plan made everyone think at first that the funds in Zhou You's hands were almost consumed. But the Bank of China directly provided Zhou You with $5 billion in financing, allowing the Yankees to see the last thing they wanted.

Zhou You's accurate investment vision has been well-known all over the world, and his keen vision and resolute execution style have impressed investors all over the world.

Therefore, no matter what time of day he travels, his investment will attract the attention of the whole world. Soros is nothing more than a white glove, and he has been sought after all over the world because of several successful investments. When sniping at the Thai baht, hundreds of billions of dollars of money were followed behind him, which stirred up the entire financial market in Southeast Asia, and until now, the vitality of Southeast Asian countries has not recovered.

Zhou You's series of actions against the dollar since the beginning of this year, although it is not Soros's desperate sniping, but he has been exploiting the loopholes in the dollar market, and his methods are more gentle, but they are like a blunt knife cutting flesh, making the US government have a hard time.

Because traveling around alone is not terrible, according to his gentle way of operation, at most it is only a bargain of one or two hundred billion dollars, but when everyone follows Zhou You, this trend even the US government cannot afford to bear. There are even some more daring investors, who are more daring than traveling around and directly shorting the dollar, which makes the US side even more uncomfortable.

Because the U.S. dollar has never been a closed currency, as a world currency, the U.S. dollar has the largest circulation in the world. Even if everyone does not dare to go directly to the United States to short the dollar, even if there are few shorts, when everyone sees that the support of the dollar weakens, it will trigger a chain reaction of collapse.

Departing from the mainland in the evening, it was still later in the day when I arrived in London. On the plane, Zhou You received a call from the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, wanting to meet Zhou You.

Although they have been constantly antagonizing the United States, the two sides have not torn their faces, so Zhou You readily agreed to the request for a meeting, and was willing to go directly to the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square to meet them as soon as he got off the plane.

Zhou You's funds are out of control, and if he really gets the support of the mainland, the funds that can be used are not something that the United States can guard against. What's more, as a shareholder of the four major banks in the mainland, even if Zhou You borrows some of the funds, it is a legitimate business cooperation, not a malicious hostility that can be seized by the Americans.

By this time, they already knew that it was almost impossible to use other projects and consume the money of the trip. Therefore, they must be soft on Zhou You, because the chain reaction of Zhou You's behavior is too serious.

He left a Spanish observation team in London and observed their operations almost the entirety. Although this gave Zhou You no chance to do anything, it made almost everyone in the world know about Zhou You's investment behavior against the US dollar, and there were countless imitators.

If you want to change this, you have to convince Zhou You, or stop this kind of purposeful investment, or just let the Spaniards get out of the way and let the Americans be observers.

Yes, as long as it is not a malicious hostile act, the United States does not mind traveling around and using legal means to make a little money from them, and the key is that it cannot attract everyone.

Of course, it would be better if you could convince Zhou You to stop this behavior. However, it depends on what kind of sincerity the United States is willing to show. For Zhou You, it is far more cost-effective to expand his influence in all aspects than to earn more benefits for a while.

Money, he is no longer short of money, and there is no richer than him in this world. Only by increasing his influence so that everyone no longer dares to target him arbitrarily is what he is pursuing now.

As the year before last, the United States simply found an excuse to put itself in prison, and such a thing must not happen again.

Therefore, now the matter of making money can be stopped in moderation, but the development of other aspects must begin to strengthen.

The main purpose of traveling around actively expanding the African market is not to develop the economy, but to several resource-rich countries in Africa. South Africa is the sphere of influence of European countries, Nigeria has a large population of more than 250 ethnic groups, the country is in chaos, and it is not a good place for development.

Algeria, which has long been occupied by Europe, and almost all the oil and resources are controlled by European companies. The Libyan dictatorship is not to be trusted, and Gaddafi is an arrogant incompetent, who is really far worse than Saddam.

Angola is not bad, but unfortunately the mainland government has begun to exert force, and he entered a little late. So he set his sights on the Democratic Republic of the Congo in their north, because in the resource-rich country, it is still worth looking forward to.

Although the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Congo have been fighting each other, the situation is relatively stable, and because there are foreign enemies, there are more places to rely on travel. Because there is a war, Zhou You can also take advantage of this opportunity to develop his military strength.

Now, there are quite a few people in his hands, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers are not a very weak force even compared to most countries in the world, and I don't know how many countries have less than 10,000 soldiers.

But he never had the opportunity to own heavy weapons, and the security company only had a few automatic rifles and grenades, and the most high-end weapons were Singapore-made all-terrain personnel carriers and heavy machine guns.

If he took advantage of the procurement of some African countries, he also had the opportunity to hoard a little heavy weapons for himself, and at that time, even the United States did not dare to touch him casually.

Therefore, if the United States wants to talk, then talk about it......
