In a café with a quiet environment, there are few guests, and the soothing piano music of "Blue Danube" flows in every corner, and on the seats near the side door, there are five people, namely Liu Ziguang, Zhao Hui, Hu Qingzhen, and the inseparable black bodyguard Wang Chao Mahan.

Two tall black men wore beige short-sleeved hunting suits and khaki shorts, and their feet turned out to be cheap plastic slippers, they didn't like to wear shoes by nature, and a pair of big feet ran like flying in the thorny primeval jungle, not to mention this reinforced concrete city, as long as there was a slight wind and grass, they would throw off their slippers and walk like flying, and they would not hesitate to kill anyone who was unfavorable to Liu Ziguang with a rubber tapper hidden in their waists.

In the distance, there are two white Europeans in suits and leather shoes, drinking coffee and chatting, if you approach them, you will see that these two white men are wrapped in suits with abnormal muscles, the placket of the suit is open, and you can inadvertently see the ochre-colored leather holster under the armpit and the jet-black handle of the gun, and the language they are talking about is Russian.

These two are also Liu Ziguang's bodyguards, regular employees of Red Star Company, Alexander. Semenovich and Vasily. Ivanov, in the light of the Red Star Company, all their documents are legal and complete, passports, foreigners' residence permits, special industry practice qualification certificates, gun licenses, even in front of the police, they do not need to be afraid.

The three of them sat speechless, as if waiting for someone to arrive, and a few minutes later, two young men with sturdy bodies walked in, their sharp eyes glancing around, and then several young people with shaved heads surrounded by a spirited old man, although these people were wearing civilian clothes, but the military temperament was undoubtedly exposed.

Alexander and Vasily adjusted their sitting postures, ready to flip the table in front of them and draw their guns to shoot, but those military bodyguards didn't seem to take them seriously, they seemed to care more about the two black men from the tropical jungle, after all, the murderous aura exuded from the tribal warriors who cut off dozens of heads with their own hands was more hideous, and if they really fought, I am afraid that even a single bullet in the magazine will not be able to effectively subdue this barbarian.

The old man came to the front and looked at them with a smile, and the three of them quickly stood up, each with different names, Liu Ziguang called Commander Luo, Zhao Hui called Luo General Assistant, and Hu Qingzhen called Uncle Luo.

Luo Kegong waved his hand: "Sit, not in the office, don't be so restrained." ”

The waiter stepped forward and asked the guest what he needed, and Luo Kegong took out a stainless steel teacup from the secretary's bag and said, "Excuse me, help pour a glass of boiled water." ”

The waiter took the cup and went, and the flat-headed guards found seats around and sat down, each ordering a drink, and the waist bar was straight, not at all like a casual guest.

"Xiao Liu, I read your file, and the results are quite good, it seems that it was the right choice to recommend you to Yongchang at the beginning." Luo Kegong said.

Liu Ziguang said modestly: "The achievements are also the result of everyone's joint efforts. ”

Luo Kegong nodded approvingly. He said to Zhao Hui again: "Ye Ming, I rejected your request for transfer report, you kid is too wild, you need to sharpen it well, staying in the agency for three years and five years will be good for you in the future." ”

Although Zhao Hui was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to say yes.

"Is your father's health okay, I haven't played chess with him for a while, see him and help me bring it well." Luo Kegong said to Hu Qingzhen again.

Hu Qingzhen smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Luo, my dad often talks about you." ”

Luo Kegong laughed: "I'm very relieved to see that you young people have grown up, okay, now let's talk about your affairs, I heard that the three of you are making a good name in Africa." ”

Zhao Hui said: "General Assistant Luo, this plan was planned by Minister Ye, Yongchang Company is responsible for the surface work, the second department is responsible for the behind-the-scenes support work, and the whole operation has been assisted by the navy, air force and other brother units......

Luo Kegong interrupted him: "I know all this, Yongchang Company has made great contributions, but its historical mission has been completed, you don't have to show merit in front of my old man, Ye Tang's achievements and abilities are certain, and letting him out is also a kind of exercise, and he will still be burdened in the future." ”

A spark of hope rose in Zhao Hui's eyes: "Yes, thank you for your concern." ”

Luo Kegong smiled, took out a cigarette, looked at the sign of the smoke-free area hanging next to it, put away the cigarette again, and said: "I'm here today, not to represent the organization, don't be so restrained, I didn't want to come, but the State Department called me, so I think it's better to come." ”

The three of them listened attentively to what he said, Luo Kegong is the assistant to the general chief, with the rank of lieutenant general, and will be promoted to general in the future, and it is basically a sure thing to serve as deputy chief of the general staff, and this old soldier is upright and has a lot of connections with them, so his words are credible.

"Wood Iron Mine, in a legal sense, belongs to Xiao Liu's private property, there is no doubt about this, and no one can take it away." Luo Kegong said.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, the thing they were most worried about finally didn't happen, it seems that the senior leaders are still very reasonable.

"But," Luo Kegong said again: "Ye Ming also said just now, when you coincidentally obtained the ownership of the iron ore, it was Yongchang Company that acted as your strong backing, I do not deny your personal ability, but without strong support, it is difficult for you to fight against the local dictatorial forces and international capital forces, the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, Mr. Wood saw through this, and transferred the manor to you at a symbolic price, if you were an ordinary person, you would probably have died in West Africa, You can't sit here drinking coffee and chatting, don't you think that's the truth? ”

Luo Kegong looked at Liu Ziguang with blazing eyes, and Liu Ziguang replied with one simple word: "Yes." ”

"Good." Luo Kegong retracted his gaze, "I said this, I don't want to put any pressure on you, let alone snatch anything from you, it is true that someone has already done this, but it only represents his personal behavior, not the country and the government, which brings you some trouble, I don't think you will care too much, after all, the iron ore is abroad, if you don't nod, no one can take it away." ”

Liu Ziguang nodded, he didn't speak, Luo Kegong is really a military style, he speaks briskly, since he said this, he must have come with the purpose of solving the problem, and there is already a solution, he just needs to listen to him.

"China's infrastructure is high, real estate, automobile industry, railway bridges, are inseparable from steel, but the country in the import of iron ore, has been stuck by people, now is not a time of war, can not rely on military means to solve the problem, so this mine in West Africa, is very important to the country, we take a stake in the Wood iron ore symbolic significance is even greater than the practical significance, as long as Huaxia Mining or other Chinese-funded enterprises successfully share, China Iron and Steel Association in the iron ore price negotiations, there is the initiative and the right to speak, this meaning is the most important."

The three of them nodded frequently, deeply approving.

Luo Kegong pointed at Liu Ziguang: "We must control the iron mine, but not in the name of the country, so as not to give people a reputation in the world, so this best agent is you, you are the major shareholder of the iron mine, but Yongchang Company and Xiaohu have made a contribution, everyone has a share, and you should not mind if you share some shares, right?" ”

Liu Ziguang said: "It depends on who it is distributed to." ”

Luo Kegong smiled: "Little ghost, still hold a grudge, let me tell you, it was not Ma Fengfeng who took away your Redstone Holdings, but another state-owned enterprise, Ma Fengfeng, this kid has the courage to take such a big fortune, and he didn't dare to forcibly take such a big fortune, this time he did it wrong, he didn't take into account your feelings, I believe he has learned a lesson." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "So who are the new collaborators? ”

Luo Kegong said: "Then it is not my responsibility, I am just here to be a lobbyist, it seems that you have agreed, then I can take out the prepared gifts." He slapped his face as he spoke.

The guard brought in a person from outside, looking haggard, but he couldn't hide his sharp spirit, who else could it be if it wasn't Guan Ye.

Everyone stood up in unison: "Sekino! ”

Sekino nodded at everyone, and everything was silent.

Luo Kegong said: "There has been a new development in the case, the deceased was found to have congenital heart disease, although Guan Ye was exempted from the death penalty, but his military status could not be kept, so let him go to work in Red Star with you." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "Comrades like Guan Ye are welcome to join, but Red Star is not my sole decision, and the team has to pass it." ”

Luo Kegong scolded with a smile: "Little ghost, see the stitches, Qiu Pengfei was denied entry at the West Sadamoa Customs, do you dare to say that it was not you who made trouble?" The current Red Star Company is not the security company of the small place back then, its goal is to be an international brand contractor, the country has invested a lot of resources into it, and it is natural to have a certain right to speak, of course, those who can work harder, if you can make Red Star become a word hall, it is not impossible. ”

Liu Ziguang laughed, walked to Guan Ye and shook hands with him: "Welcome back." Zhao Hui also stepped forward to hug him, Guan Ye's eyes were a little red, he bit his lip tightly and didn't speak, just held his old friend's hand hard.

Luo Kegong looked at his watch, got up and said, "You catch up, I won't bother." ”

Everyone got up to send each other, and Luo Kegong laughed heartily: "Don't send it, if you have anything in the future, you can come to me directly." ”

……

Luo Kegong walked out of the café, three military Audis drove to the door, and the old general got into the middle one and said to the driver: "Zhongnanhai." He closed his eyes and began to knead the bridge of his nose.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and the secretary answered it and handed it over: "Director Tan's phone." ”

Luo Kegong showed a displeased look, but still answered the phone: "I'm Luo Kegong, yes, yes, it's been solved, don't thank me, just do your duty." ”

Put down the phone, secretary: "Mr. Luo, do you think the military wants to occupy some iron ore shares?" ”

Luo Kegong said categorically: "The army cannot participate in the operation, there are enough lessons like this, if we want to get a piece of the pie, we will not dissolve the Yongchang Company, and we will not let Liu Ziguang retire from active service." ”

Secret: "We plant trees, and they take advantage of the shade, what is the reason?" ”

Luo Kegong said slowly: "The duty of a soldier is to obey orders. ”
