Madagascar, the full name of the Republic of Madagascar, is an African island country, located in the western part of the Indian Ocean, across the Mozambique Channel and the African continent, the whole island is composed of volcanic rocks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info is the largest island in Africa and the fourth largest in the world. With an area of 592,000 square kilometers and a population of 24,235,000, it is divided into 22 districts, 119 counties, 1,579 communes and 17,485 communities.

Li Ling's destination is Tuamasina, located on the Indian Ocean coast of eastern Madagascar, the capital of Tuamasina province and an important seaport in the country, with a population of about 200,000.

The reason why I came to this city is because there is a French steel mill with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons. It's just that the steel plant here is backward production capacity, and the equipment in the factory is backward in most countries and regions in the world, so it can be won by Li Ling for 6 million US dollars.

For this reason, Li Ling sold a piece of the best mutton fat white jade from the ancient collection of Yelut, weighing more than 4 kilograms, to scrape together the money.

The reason why I chose this place is that Madagascar is located in Africa, but it is separated from the continent by a strait. Here, Li Ling can easily buy some things from unknown sources, and it is also convenient to sell items from Master Li's world to cover the transaction.

Jiang Yu is one of the 50,000 Chinese and overseas Chinese living in Madagascar, whose father came here 40 years ago and established a family here at the age of 30.

He is the chief engineer of [Moss Iron and Steel Factory], but since yesterday, this steel plant has been renamed [Longteng Iron and Steel Factory] and has been replaced by a Chinese boss, he doesn't know if this is a good thing for him or a bad thing.

Coming to the chairman's office, he met his new boss for the first time, unexpectedly young.

"Sit! My name is Li Ling, you can just call me boss! Next, I said, listen, if you have any questions, wait until I'm done and ask again, okay? Li Ling leaned back in the boss's chair and pointed to the opposite seat and said to Jiang Yu.

"Okay! Boss! "For Chinese, Jiang Yu still knows it, but he doesn't use it often, so it's not very standard. Jiang Yu was a little uncomfortable with the new boss's unexpected way of talking.

But he had to get used to the $50,000-a-year job. There are not many steel mills in this country itself. Once he is laid off, I am afraid that he will not be able to find another job like this. However, he has a wife and four children to support, as well as both parents, and he is the only breadwinner in the family.

"I have read the detailed information of this steel plant, and last year's steel output was 280,000 tons, but there was a backlog of 160,000 tons, and the maximum output of the factory could reach about 440,000 tons. Is it? Li Ling asked, looking at the information on the table.

"Yes, but now as of last month, the steel backlog has reached 230,000 tons, and the iron ore has been exhausted, and the factory has been shut down for almost half a month." Jiang Yu replied thoughtfully.

"Don't worry about iron ore, I have purchased 400,000 tons and it is in the process of being shipped. From now on, I will appoint you as the general manager of [Longteng Iron and Steel Plant], except for financial related matters I will entrust to an accounting firm, and you don't have to worry about sales and transportation, I will let you go of all production and personnel issues. Your salary will be raised to $80,000 a year, with a bonus at the end of the year. The premise is that you can complete the production task according to my requirements. Are you up to the job? Li Ling asked solemnly.

Jiang Yu took a deep breath, almost stunned by this pie, and his salary increased by more than 60 percent, which was unbelievable, so he replied solemnly: "I'll do my best!" ”

"I don't want to give it my all, but I have to do it, no matter how difficult it is! This is my request, you take a look first! Li Ling handed her a stack of information.

18,000 pieces of armor, 50,000 steel knives, 200,000 spearheads, 1,200,000 arrows, and 50,000 bows and crossbows.

After reading the requirements, Jiang Yu was a little dumbfounded, this looks like it's all cold weapons.

Looking at Jiang Yu, who was a little speechless, Li Ling waved his hand and said, "You just have to complete the task, and you don't have to ask about the rest." I have estimated with professionals that these things will consume about 550,000 tons of steel, and if there is not enough steel, I will buy it from outside, you just need to produce them on time and qualified. ”

In fact, in addition to these, Li Ling also found a timber mill in Southeast Asia to be responsible for the production of the return gun. The shells thrown after the return cannon will include improvised bombs and incendiary bombs.

After dealing with the matter of [Longteng Iron and Steel Plant], Li Ling went to meet an arms dealer of a polar bear non-stop to discuss the purchase of arms.

Of course, Li Ling is not preparing to popularize thermal weapons in Master Li's world, it is completely unnecessary, and the cost is too great, and the risk in the main world is too great.

He mainly wanted to buy the most ordinary bombs and incendiary bombs, and by the way, build a defense force composed of thermal weapons for himself.

The number is not too much, about three hundred people are enough, and one core armored vehicle is used to assist it, plus two infantry fighting vehicles to escort it, which is enough to be foolproof in that era.

"Hello, Rokovsky, I'm Li Ling, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Li Ling smiled and shook hands with a majestic old man. This is a café where business for two people will be made in this small private room.

"I'm glad to meet you too, my friend! How can I help you? Rokovsky is fluent in five Chinese languages, including Chinese, so he can talk to Li Ling directly.

He was just an ordinary international arms dealer, and his business was not big, so he rushed over in person after Li Ling released his list.

"Of course! You know, Africa is messy. I'm going to do business in Africa and need some armed forces to protect my industry, as well as my personal safety. Li Ling spread his hands and said.

"Yes, Africa is not safe, and those would rather take food with guns than toil themselves. But for us, it's paradise. So friends, what weapons do you need? Rokovsky shrugged.

"I need 500 automatic rifles, 1 million rounds of ammunition, 20 machine guns, 30 military trucks, two infantry fighting vehicles, an all-terrain armored vehicle, and 30 base ammunition. Of course, the simplest bombs and incendiary bombs cost ten thousand. I don't ask for the latest advanced equipment, the combat weapons of the Soviet era are fine, but I want to ensure that they are new weapons that are not used, and the performance does not need to be too advanced, and I have no intention of training an elite army. Li Ling reported her needs.

Rokovsky silently calculated and said: "Yes! All that adds up, $1.3 million, and I'll give you another 20 percent of the ammunition. ”

"No problem, but I want you to be able to hand over the cargo on the high seas of the Pacific Ocean without having to ship it to Africa." Li Ling nodded and agreed to the price.

"It's better this way, my cost and risk are lower, I will give you a gift, I hope the cooperation is happy!" Rokovsky said happily.

"Happy working together!"
