Chapter 390: The Nature of Humans and Beasts
Western Africa
Dakar!
The capital of Senegal is bordered by Mauritania to the north, Mali to the east, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau to the south, and the Cape Verde Islands to the west. The coastline is about 700 kilometers long, and because it was once colonized by France, you can see the French style everywhere in the city.
Of course, it has nothing to do with romance.
Senegal, which only "ran away" from France in 1960, is still in the rising stage of domestic economic conditions, and compared with the Angolan civil war next door, it may really be worthy of the name of "Little Paris".
The domestic situation is very stable, after all, one of the top ten poor countries in the world, has also made many people lose confidence in him, if there is oil down there, perhaps, it is another prosperity.
Thirty kilometres outside the city of Dakar, Lake Reteba is a famous tourist attraction known locally as the "Pink Lake", while the Rose Lake comes from the French LacRose. The pink color that spreads across the lake is not too beautiful.
And there are many shops around this scenery on the shores of Lake Reteba.
Coolly dressed locals, they watched the few people on the streets, hoping that someone would see their stubbornness.
Tourism is still a short board in Africa.
Except for a small number of people with dreams who come into this world, who wants to come here to face the rain of bullets.
In one of the shops, a two-story small western-style building, it was closed tightly, the iron door was tightened, and only the signboard outside the door read: "Basalt Logistics Company".
The people next to me don't know what it does, they have never seen people in and out, they are locked all day, and they don't know what to make money on, the rent here is 100 francs a week, which is not cheap, but there are often banging sounds in it, and there are curious people who want to listen closer, but I am afraid there is no other benefit except for infiltrating people.
Zhang Xiyuan, chairman of Basalt, came out of the office with a cigarette in his mouth, and happened to see an employee holding a box, stumbling under his feet, and almost falling, so scared that he hurried over, "Hey, hey, hey!" The tone word shouted several times, then went up and slapped the employee on the back of the head, "Do you want us all to die together?" It's a grenade, not a condom in your house! ”
The employee was a young man he had found, obviously not intimidated, but he also cherished this job very much, earning close to five dollars a day, which was enough for the 17-year-old black boy to support his family, he hurriedly lowered his head and apologized, Zhang Xiyuan waved his hand, frowned, and urged him to be careful.
As soon as I turned around, I saw Wu Changsong standing at the door of the office.
"Lao Zhang, you scared other people's children." Wu Changsong said with a smile.
Zhang Xiyuan said very cautiously, "In the eyes of human beings, they will feel that the animal world is very cruel, the weak eat the strong, you live and die, but the cruelty of animals is precisely because of their honesty, but human beings always pretend not to be cruel, but in private they are full of contradictions, hypocrisy, greed and deception, just like so much chicken soup in this society, it is not necessarily any better, we are doing a business of cutting off heads, and mistakes at any time are not allowed, we are not as strong as Nicholas, and we must be more cautious when we are weak." ”
Basalt is not a savior.
The savior has a strong network and armed forces, but what about basalt?
There are only two fifty-year-old uncles, their faces are full of wrinkles and vicissitudes, there are 200,000 dollars of goods in this store, most of them are firearms, and there are also a few individual weapons, Senegal is not Somalia, but this cannibalistic world is still this world.
If they don't want to be swallowed, they can only be more vigilant.
At this age, they still have to choose to fight, it is nothing more than that boring life, and they don't want to die.
Excitement, passion!
"Lao Wu, no one will let us go because of age, just like no matter how old I am, I will not give up the dollar." Zhang Xiyuan said word by word, his near-perfect speech made Wu Changsong feel unfamiliar, but then there was a surge of adrenaline, and he unconsciously stood firm, "You're right, we're on the battlefield." ”
A war for the dollar.
The world always eats people, and it is also people's turn to eat and eat this world!
"I've found an official in Algeria to introduce us to people from the military, and I've heard that they have a very good intervention team, and I want to recruit some people to put our framework up." Zhang Xiyuan said.
He should be talking about the Algerian Special Intervention Group, known in French (GIS), one of the most feared special forces in Africa, known as "Endurance" in Algeria, mainly good at counter-terrorism and hostage rescue, in fact, in addition to the "special care" of the bears on the hostages, this force will also often kill hostages and use hostages as bargaining chips by organized criminals.
Since 1987, they have been fighting extremists, and it is difficult to describe the specifics.
Of course, what made them most famous at home and abroad was the later "kidnapping of oil facilities".
Wu Changsong also looked at him with surprise, "Do you have a relationship in Algeria?" ”
"This person has been in one place for a long time, and he always knows something." Zhang Xiyuan didn't want to say more, and Wu Changsong didn't want to ask too much, but it was inevitable that he would start to mumble in his heart, he still had to pretend to be paralyzed on his face, nodded, and pressed half of the cigarette in his hand directly on the wall to extinguish it, this action was a bit too bad, and there was no civilization quality at all, when he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, Zhang Xiyuan also walked up and stepped on his toes as if nothing happened.
"Let's start with this shop, and after a while, I'll go to Angola, the rebels over there need me, of course, the government forces also need me, you hold the base camp here." Zhang Xiyuan is really desperate enough, and he took the initiative to go to the most dangerous place to pull sales!
He is simply fighting, and the style of this big northwest man in his bones is really fierce.
"It's too dangerous," Wu Changsong said, frowning.
"Danger and opportunity coexist, when the time comes, invite a few bodyguards from Tang Dao's side."
But Zhang Xiyuan seems very calm, how can it be so easy to make money?
The two paths of a businessman are either to move forward bravely or to retreat, the former may die, and the latter will inevitably die! The times weed out the cowardly, and of course the reckless, perhaps, who loved those whom God liked.
In a word, it's all fate.
Wu Changsong didn't speak this time, he just wanted to continue smoking, but he touched his pocket, turned around, and saw the cigarette on the desk in the office.
He pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth before picking up the phone, "Hey, where?" ”
As soon as the other side opened his mouth, Wu Changsong smiled, "Lihui, why do you have time to call your dad today?" ”
"Dad, isn't this busy?" Wu Lihui smiled dryly and got down to business directly, "I called this time, and it was Mr. Tang who asked me to explain something to you." ”
"Mr. Tang felt that the company must be difficult at the beginning, and asked us if we needed to borrow, up to 3 million US dollars, no interest, for one year, if it exceeds 3 million, according to the annual interest rate of 3 points, if you have money, you can save it, and the annual rebate is about 1%."
Is this a product promotion?
Wu Changsong was just about to speak, and his mind flashed, "What is that Tang Dao going to do?" Open a bank? ”
