Chapter 202: Bounce Ticket
The British newspaper The Times once selected the world's hazardous areas.
The Sahara Desert is one of them, and naturally, the country through which it runs through is also a dangerous zone, but it is a place with massive ore reserves and wild creatures that drive illegal poachers crazy.
It is recognized by all countries that Africa may be the next Asia, but it carries more potential than Asia.
A country that is neither secure nor has a stable government is what careerists like most.
Even Tang Dao doesn't know how many forces are playing around Somalia!
Hassan and Iohannis are just two forces that have started a war first, and comments surrounding them are sprouting in the shadows.

Seychelles!
It is revered by countless travel enthusiasts: the most beautiful holy place!
Consisting of 92 islands, there are only two seasons in a year β hot and cool, with no winter. It is a sprawling natural botanical garden with more than 500 species of plants, 80 of which are simply not found anywhere else in the world.
Each island has its own characteristics.
And at this moment on the famous Turtle Island: Aldabra Island, a luxury yacht is floating on the sea, and the sound of warblers and swallows can be heard from inside.
On the deck of the yacht, a white man in boxers was lying with sunglasses, his six-pack abs were visible, and he looked full of sunshine.
"BOSS, Las Vegas called, and he said, your cashier's check at a Swiss bank has bounced." An old man with silver hair similar to a butler said softly, his eyes were focused, there was no visual aggression on the girls in the yacht, for him, no matter how beautiful he was, he couldn't get it, he was old...
"Walter? Damn it! Didn't you ask why? The young man lying there in the sun said aloud.
"You lost $7 million at the casino, Hugo. Mr. Longfellow is very unhappy, he freezes all your spending power, and Las Vegas has told you to pay all the funds within half a month, or they will pull you down from among the most unwelcome guests. The old man's tone was still very calm, as if he was just explaining a story.
Root. Longfellow muttered, "Bastard! I'm a good customer of theirs, and they can't do that to me. β
"But for them, they need to get the money."
The former suddenly withered, his status as a member of the Longfellow family was enough for him to owe money to the more famous casinos in Europe or North America, but it didn't mean that he couldn't pay it back!
"So that means I need to get the money myself?" He asked, looking at the butler with his hands outstretched.
"Yes."
Root. Longfellow scolded in a low voice, perhaps greeting the female family...
He was rocking the fence of the yacht, knowing that he owed nearly $9 million, including the rest of his expenses. The other people in the yacht who heard the movement ran out, but the old butler stopped them, "Gentlemen, ladies, you should go in and let the boss calm down." β
I don't understand anything though.
But they understood that they were just here to make money, and it was better not to inquire about some things, so they obediently returned to the cabin.
"Then tell me, how much money I have left on my account?"
"$10,000!"
This number makes Ben. Longfellow went crazy again, kicking the hull with his feet, perhaps tired, he turned his head, his breathing a little disordered, "What about the diamonds I asked Somalia to prepare for me?" Isn't there any news yet? β
"Somalia is now in a civil war, and I have called General Hassan and he told me that he needs time." The old butler said.
Root. Longfellow slapped the guardrail, "Time? I need it too! I always felt like this bastard was lying to me, no, I'm going to Somalia, I'm going to him. β
At this time, the old butler, who was very calm, finally showed a little anxious.
"It's absolutely not going to work." He stopped, frowning, "It's too dangerous there." β
"Don't worry, I've won the runner-up in the skeet shooting competition in California." Root. Longfellow waved his hand.
Skeet races?
Runner-up?
Fack!
You hit things, and bullets on the battlefield hit people.
But even if the old butler argued with reason, he didn't listen, but was very impatient, and scolded, "What am I doing, do I need your approval?" Mr. Angus! All you need to do is buy me a ticket and contact Hassan! Do you understand? β
Root. Longfellow, although he was in his 20s, looked naΓ―ve.
The old butler couldn't stop him, so he could only agree on the surface, "Okay, boss, since you are like this, then I can only do it." "Actually, I'm going to report to the other party's father, Ben. Longfellow was upset, he felt that Hassan did not know "manners" at all, and that the guy had forgotten who had sent him a batch of arms and had forgotten his own financial support for him.
Didn't that bastard Fernand make it clear?
I want diamonds, not negotiations!
Root. Longfellow decided that the first thing he would do when he went to Somalia was to point Hassan in the nose and scold him, "You damn nigger, don't you know what I told you?" Idiots, bastards, stupid *! β
Of course he really had the guts.

At this time, Tang Dao also ushered in another "spokesperson". β
"Oh, God forbid, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Nicholas."
It was a yellow man who spoke, but the English in his mouth was very Californian, and he stretched out his hand and bowed very politely, "I didn't expect you to be so young." β
This is Huang Yue, whose English name (Bruce) is the partner of Tang Dao in South Africa. Clemens introduced him, and the latter told him on the phone that this guy's background is very complicated, and let Tang Dao deal with it carefully.
can make the South African bigwig say the word complicated, in fact, it has a lot of room for reverie.
"Mr. Bruce is also young." Tang Dao's words were very perfunctory.
But the other party just can take it.
"I've been spending my time in the past few years, in fact, you can call me Huang Yue, I like others to call me this name, this is what my father gave me, I have half of my blood with you, in essence, we are actually compatriots." The other party said with a smile. This technique of climbing along the pole is really powerful.
Tang Dao bowed his head, "Yes, I feel very kind when I see your complexion, there are so many black people here, I almost thought I was Somali." This grumbling remark caused Huang Yue to laugh a few times, "It's also very good in Somalia, at least Mr. Tang earns a lot of money." β
"It's all a petty fight, and it can't be put on the table."
"If controlling a warlord to wage war is also a joke, then I think other arms dealers are living on dogs." Huang Yue is very exaggerated, but who doesn't like to listen to this good word, Tang Dao also likes it, and his heart is still a little cool. However, he is also very cautious, the other party's sedan chair is a little high, and he has nothing to do with courtesy, either treachery or theft!
However, the other party didn't take the initiative to speak, Tang Dao didn't say anything, just pulled the family routine, and after talking for more than ten minutes, Huang Yue finally felt a little dry, and he also felt that the other party was very tricky, not the kind of "young man" who could coax him with just two words, this was a fox who became a fine head.
He's finally getting to the point.
"Actually, I took the liberty of approaching you because I wanted to do a business with you."
The corners of Tang Dao's mouth raised, "You... Or the person behind you? β
"Does it make any difference? I won't let you lose anything, but I will guarantee you a big profit. Huang Yue said.
If you tell Hassan about this kind of pie painting, maybe the other party will care a lot, but for Tang Dao, Lao Tzu started by "deceiving people" and pretending to be the big head here?
"I like my partners to be above board, I don't like to hide their heads and tails."
Huang Yue frowned, but he was also relieved, so he smiled and nodded, "Me too, it's best to be sincere, I represent the Union Bank of South Africa!" β
