~~~~~~~~~

Although Abidjan is a famous resort in West Africa, it is a pity that at this time, the war is spreading, and Zhou Quanbei does not like the black girl too much, and two days later, the group returned to the Titan Valley by car.

Unlike East Africa, West Africa does not have a 'military power' like Ethiopia, which has a certain overwhelming advantage, and although the situation is more complicated, the passage of convoys is not too restricted.

And Zhou Quanbei also has the opportunity to look at the creatures in this land with a more 'leisurely' gaze.

Africa is actually a very beautiful place.

Deserts, jungles, grasslands, rivers, all kinds of rare wild animals, complement each other and are not devastatingly destroyed.

It's just that local conflicts and wars continue, science and technology lag behind, and economic development is stagnant, especially in the bustling port cities and inland, which simply makes people feel like they have returned from modern society to prehistory.

Of course, all vital resources, basically, are in the hands of white rulers.

And Zhou Quanbei is now trying his best to integrate and become one of them.

Three days later, Zhou Quanbei finally arrived at the familiar Titan Valley.

It's just that at this time, the original camp has already expanded more than ten times in size.

The original camp tents have now been replaced by rows of single-storey or double-storey barracks, and on the open space across the river, a new barracks-style building is in full swing.

Even, in a clearing outside the camp, I don't know when a small market was formed, with mules, horses, cattle and sheep, crowded with people, making people feel as if they had come to a village or town.

Liu Ju hurriedly explained: "Zhou Shao, these natives are all doing some small business outside us, I sent people to catch up a few times, but they ran away and came back, and now they are gathering more and more." ”

Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but smile faintly.

The camp now has more than 2,000 people, like the engine of a car, and the energy it generates is enough to provide the surrounding people with survival.

These natives are not stupid.

But then again, every port and bustling big city in Africa is basically such a formation process.

"There is no need to drive them away. It's not easy for them, and since they want to make a living here, there's no need for us to embarrass them. However, in the future, the market must be standardized. They want to do business here, they can. But ~~, it is to obey our laws. ”

"Zhou Shao, what do you mean ......" Liu Shu hurriedly took out his notebook and pen.

Zhou Quanbei smiled, "I am now proposing such an intention, and the specific rules still need you to improve." It's not necessary to collect taxes for the time being. But like those flesh jobs, they must be regulated. ”

"Yes!" Liu Ju hurriedly wrote it down.

Zhou Quanbei lit a cigarette, and there was no expression on Yingting's face.

In later generations, someone once joked, "Wherever the military camp of the rice army opens, where the brothel is, it must be busy." ”

However, in Africa, because of its particularity, various infectious diseases are spreading, and Zhou Quanbei does not require all the soldiers under his command to be 'disciples of Buddhism', but the norms must be erected.

After all, Zhou Quanbei is an outsider, and resources are also dead, but 'popularity' is the guarantee of everything.

Coming to the most luxurious suite in the center of the camp, Zhou Quanbei also relaxed, to a certain extent, in this land, he is the law, the master of everything.

After a short rest and a simple lunch, Zhou Quanbei ordered Liu Ju to send someone to take Li Manli to visit the entire camp, while Gong Xue came to Zhou Quanbei's suite to report and discuss all aspects of work.

After Zhou Quanbei's company in the past few days, Gong Xue's mood has obviously improved a lot, but she still doesn't have a good face for Zhou Quanbei, and she has a businesslike attitude.

"Brother Zhou, now the crude oil mine and diamond mine can already start mining. Just wait for the workers to be in place, and wealth will be generated immediately. However, the uranium mine is not easy to deal with, and we don't have the bricks and talents in this area. ”

Zhou Quanbei nodded.

According to the estimation of the expert group of Weir Company, Julong Company and Gong Xue's team, the amount of wealth generated by crude oil mines and diamond mines is about 150 million US dollars per year.

On the side of the barracks, in addition to the initial investment in a large number of equipment and weapons, the annual maintenance and expenditure will not exceed 20 million US dollars, which means that about 130 million US dollars in profits will be generated.

As for the labor of those indigenous workers, they were directly ignored by Zhou Quanbei.

The most critical uranium mine, its value, is the most difficult to estimate.

If it can be sold to the people who need it most, even if it is billions or tens of billions of dollars, it will not be a problem, but if there is no brick house on this side, it cannot open up sales, and it is worthless.

However, as long as the crude oil and diamond mines are running, the whole camp can enter a virtuous cycle.

This means that the entire Titan Valley, every year, will generate a net profit of about 100 million US dollars for Zhou Quanbei.

It's no wonder that there has been a lot of bloodshed and conflict in this land.

"Brother Gong, in this way, the uranium mine, don't move for the time being, anyway, it won't run away on its own. But on the side of crude oil and diamond mines, they must get on the right track as soon as possible. You are responsible for this. I will also properly solve the aftermath of the Weir company as soon as possible. ”

Gong Xue nodded, "The engineers on our side are already in place, and it shouldn't be too difficult for the indigenous workers." It's just that I'm worried that a few nearby anti-~political~ government military tribes will not be very friendly to us. ”

Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but smile, "You don't have to worry about this question for the time being." I'll take care of them. By the way, there is also the matter of the expert group, let's discuss it well......"

It turns out that the think tank and public relations team of Weir Company have been partially pulled away by Zhou Quanbei and entered the command of Zhou Quanbei and Gong Xue's 'sole proprietorship' of Julong Company, but with the intervention of more foreign capital, some things must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Let this group of people, that is, under the command of the Dragon Company, and at the same time, under the name of the Weir Company, receive double salaries, but they are also 'double agents'.

After all, Zhou Quanbei is not a three-headed and six-armed person, and it is impossible to take care of everything, but while delegating power, it is necessary to add a strong layer of 'constraints' to this right, and the think tank and public relations team are the best 'tight spell'.

For example, Liu Ju can control the right to train troops, but the right to send troops must be firmly in the hands of Zhou Quanbei.

As for the diplomacy of the camp and the various transactions in and out of the goods, it needs to be balanced by a think tank and a public relations team.

This time, as long as not everyone is standing on the same line, then Quanbei can sit firmly in Diaoyutai forever.

Of course, it is almost impossible to get all these people of different races, nationalities, and cultures on the same line.

~~~~

Zhou Quanbei, Li Manli, Gong Xue and his party have been staying in the camp for a month, and at this time, it has entered November.

Indigenous workers have been put in place, and the crude oil and diamond mines have begun to function.

Weil's public relations team is already up and running, actively looking for buyers for these two minerals.

Although Zhou Quanbei could not directly 'steal' the name of Royal Shell, he could take advantage of Royal Shell's vast network.

The whole camp, like a huge 'money printing machine', is slowly but rapidly creating wealth for Zhou Quanbei.

"Sister Manli, how is it? How are you feeling these days? Zhou Quanbei lit a cigarette and lay comfortably on the large sofa of authentic African leopard skin.

With Zhou Quanbei's influence, if you want to get some rare goods now, you don't need to do it yourself at all, just need to inform you, and there will be leaders of various tribes, and even high-level government troops, who will obediently send Zhou Quanbei over.

Li Manli also wore a military uniform of the Dragon Company.

Dark green camouflage T-shirt, dark green camouflage pants, and on the feet, are Dutch military leather boots.

Although Zhou Quanbei did not purchase the weapons and equipment of the Dutch army, after all, he used other people's names to eat, and the clothing in the camp, various public facilities and building supplies, including all kinds of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, tobacco, wine, sugar and tea, were all produced in the Netherlands.

He Sheng in Macau has a saying, Zhou Quanbei has always thought deeply, 'If you have money, everyone will earn it together.' ’

Although the profits of these things are not as big as the arms, these many people eat and drink Lazar every day, but they are not a small number, and it can be regarded as Zhou Quanbei giving enough face to the Dutch official.

At this time, Li Manli wore a formal military uniform, quite heroic, although Zhou Quanbei pretended to be calm on his face, but deep in his heart, it seemed that there was a volcano that was about to erupt.

"Xiaobei, what do you want me to say? Mr. Wang once saved my father's life, and I only hope that you two will not make too much trouble. "After such a long time of in-depth 'running-in', Li Manli was completely relaxed in front of Zhou Quanbei.

Regarding Li Manli's experience, Zhou Quanbei was also a little speechless.

His father, who was an executive of a company on Hong Kong Island, was born at the grassroots level and became famous by reading, and his mother was a famous lady in Thailand with a prominent background.

Originally, Li Manli enjoyed the general treatment of a princess.

It's a pity that no one is good for a hundred days, and no flower is red for a hundred days, and when Li Manli was twenty years old, the terrible financial tsunami broke out.

Overnight, countless wealthy people on Hong Kong Island, including the entire Southeast Asian region, went bankrupt and even jumped off buildings to die.

Unfortunately, Li Manli's father was also among them, at that time, he was overconfident, not only invested all his family wealth in the stock market, but even borrowed a lot of usury.

But how can a little fat worm be compared with a predator like Soros, the ending is naturally conceivable.

Li Manli's father was hit too hard and suffered a stroke directly, unable to speak or move, and her mother, because the pressure was too great and unbearable, she committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

Fortunately, Li Manli's father had an old relationship with Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang didn't know for what purpose, he treated Li Manli like a lover and a daughter, and used his relationship to cultivate her to become the 'leading lady' on Hong Kong Island.

At this time, let Zhou Quanbei look at it, Mr. Wang is indeed 'far-sighted', and I am afraid that few people can compare with this vision alone.

It's just that what Zhou Quanbei can't understand is that Li Manli, a delicate flower, why did he cheapen himself?

Of course, Li Manli also understood Zhou Quanbei's thoughts, her pretty face was flushed, angry, self-pitying, and unspeakably unwilling.

Zhou Quanbei didn't want to expose people's scars, but this was like a thorn, if it was not removed, the relationship between the two would never be sublimated.

"Sister Manli, I know you're strong. But ~, you know, now, after all, it's still a patriarchal society, isn't it? So ~, this ,......"
