(Thank you friends for the two tips in general, two monthly passes from my friend Zenlin~~)

Pierre's face darkened, and he didn't believe a word of Koné's words, so he asked Issoufo, "What is the matter?"

This ......"

Issoufo didn't know, but Pierre's eyes were aggressive, and he could only meditate on it, and suddenly the words sandstorm came to him, and he immediately shouted: "Oh, I understand, it's a sandstorm, a few days ago, the desert in Diffa Province broke out in a sandstorm once in a century, and many herdsmen's camels, cattle and sheep died in the sandstorm, and the losses were heavy!"

It just so happened that Dassault's people went to Diffa a few days ago, and maybe they encountered a sandstorm, which is unlucky, so unfortunate!"

Pierre's face was even more gloomy, he knew about sandstorms, according to satellite feedback, the area involved was about 100,000 square kilometers, and many places were buried by sand, saying that it might be an exaggeration to say that it would happen once in a hundred years, but at least it was also a level of once in twenty or thirty years.

In the middle of the night, Pierre asked, "Mr. Liu, how did you avoid the sandstorm?"

Hearing these words made people uncomfortable, Catherine said with a cold face: "Mr. Pierre, we didn't escape, more than a dozen people died inside, only me and my friend Mu Qingcheng escaped from the desert. ”

Niu Tou also said: "We are lucky that we didn't encounter a sandstorm." ”

Pierre's eyes flickered more and more, and then he snorted coldly: "This matter will be carefully investigated by the French government, Your Excellency Issoufe, Dassault will re-send people to participate in the bidding, I hope that before the arrival, the ownership of the rhenium mine will not be decided lightly." “

Catherine said: "Mr. Pierre, I'm sorry, I sympathize with Dassault's misfortune, but the rhenium mine already has an owner, and whether Dassault sends someone over or not will not change the result." “

Mu Qingcheng stabbed Ke Nei from behind.

Cornet stubbornly said: "Your Excellency Issouf, Miss Catherine and the Huaxia people are good friends of our Pall people, I only cooperate with them, if there is a third party involved, the Pall people will not agree, please understand." “

Among all of them, the most entangled is Issoufo, the French he dare not offend, more than 20 French-speaking countries in Africa, which fully illustrates France's influence in Africa, and Huaxia and Catherine can't afford to offend, that is G2, the overlord of the real earth!

According to his idea, each party obtains the corresponding mining rights, and everyone pays some benefits to themselves, hello, hello, hello, everyone, but the fact is obvious, Catherine and Huaxia have formed a strategic alliance and exclude any third party from joining.

He didn't understand how he did it, and how the old fox Koné was willing to take sides.

Pierre smiled coldly, his eyes were like electricity, he looked at Issoufo and said: "You are the president of Niger, I need you to give me a clear answer." “

At this moment, Issoufo has the urge to pick a stack of picks and not do it, Nima's, this president is really a wretch!

"Your Excellency Issouf, don't worry!" Mu Qingcheng waved his hand: "Niger is an independent sovereign country with an independent foreign policy, you are the democratically elected president, you have the support of the people of Niger, you should not be at the mercy of other countries, Miss Catherine and I will wholeheartedly support you." “

"Who are you, do you have a part in speaking?" Pierre looked at Mu Qingcheng.

Mu Qingcheng said lightly: "My voice is heavier than yours, because I am Miss Catherine's only partner, and the rhenium mine has half of mine." “

Ambassador Zhang also said: "Your Excellency Issoufo, China has been rooted in Africa for many years, and has established a deep friendship with the African people, our development of Africa, has never been a fishing in front of the river, the Chinese government attaches great importance to rhenium mines, and will come up with a proper plan that is in line with the interests of both sides, please believe us, this is also an opportunity for Niger to develop head-on, I hope to miss it in a hurry." “

Issoufo looked at Mu Qingcheng, Pierre, Catherine, and Ambassador Zhang, and it was best to describe his situation in five sandwiches.

Mu Qingcheng said again: "Your Excellency Issufu, let's hurry up and negotiate the specific terms, for the sake of confidentiality, now please leave unrelated people." “

"Okay, good!" Pierre understood that this irrelevant person was himself, and said two things in a row, pointing at Issoufo and saying: "I understand, it was planned from beginning to end, this time you are ruthless, the French government, the Russian government and the Benben government will definitely investigate the truth, Miss Catherine, I also remind you, you actually dare to take the risk of cooperating with the Chinese side to develop strategic materials, I see how you can explain to the old men in your Congress, so you can do it yourself!"

After saying that, turn around and walk out!

Only then did Issufu say with a bitter face: "I was miserable!"

He is not a fool, with a little analysis, he can guess that the people of Dassault, Rosneft and Honmoto Mitsubishi Heavy Industries were probably not lost in the sandstorm, but killed!

Catherine smiled: "From now on, we are a community of destiny, your difficulties are also our difficulties, come, sit down, let's draw up a draft first." ”

......

The negotiation process was relatively smooth, Issoufo and Koné had no right to speak, almost Catherine talked with Ambassador Zhang and Luo Gong, and the two sides agreed to first set up Qingcheng Mining Group in Huaxia in the name of Mu Qingcheng, with a registered capital of 100 million US dollars, holding 100% of the equity, and then with Catherine each contributed 1 billion US dollars to form Qinglin Mining (Niger) Co., Ltd.

English name is qingd e assoeral pty ltd!

Mu Qingcheng does not need to pay a penny in the whole process, the state will set up a special account, and the money will be directly called, and after the Chinese Spring Festival next year at the latest, the funds, personnel and equipment must be in place.

So, why did you choose this name, it's not that Catherine is commemorating anything, but that the name of the American company is very simple, there is nothing to pay attention to, and the name of the company is almost the name of the holder or the name of the place.

For example, JPMorgan Chase, which was born from the merger of JPMorgan Bank with Chase.

Another example is Citibank, whose real name is the City Bank of New York, because the people of the East China Sea habitually called the bank Citibank before the liberation, and over time, it was adopted by the American headquarters and renamed Citibank.

During the Great Depression in the 30s of the last century, Congress legislated to prohibit companies from providing commercial banking and investment banking services at the same time, so Morgan Stanley was spun off as the investment department of the original Morgan Bank, and today, it has long been out of the control of the Morgan family.

This is also a thorn in the heart of the Morgan family!

In addition, in terms of cargo and personnel transportation, because Niger's infrastructure is too bad, the natural conditions are also extremely harsh, and the infrastructure construction is extremely difficult, so Qinglin Mining will invest in Diffa to build an airport that can transport 20 take-offs and landings to transport personnel and related machinery and materials.

This is much safer than a helicopter, at least the shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missile cannot be transported.20 If a vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft missile is used, it will not be able to hide it at all, and even the United States will not dare.

As for the oversized construction machinery that Yun 20 cannot transport, it will go to Diffa through Nigeria.

At the same time, as a reassurance to the Niamey authorities, the Morgan consortium under Catherine's control will invest in tourism, transportation, agriculture and animal husbandry, and light industry with Huaxia, and fully cooperate in counterterrorism and security.

The draft can be said to be a great success, with the province of Diffa, the authorities of Niamey, Huaxia and Catherine each taking the benefits.

At noon, Issouf set up a grand banquet, and the atmosphere was relaxed, and in the afternoon, except for Koné, who stayed behind to negotiate further with Issouf on the distribution of benefits, everyone took their leave.

"You ...... Now back to New York?" asked Niu Tou, who was out the door.

Mu Qingcheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's been delayed for too long, we have to go back as soon as possible." ”

Ye Hong said: "Okay, we will do the company registration for you, you don't have to go back to China, let's go to New York to meet you before New Year's Day." ”

"We're tired, then let's go first!"

Mu Qingcheng hugged his fists and said goodbye.

"Goodbye!"

Catherine smiled and waved as well.

Davis, Ambassador Zhang, Luo Gong, Niu Tou and Ye Hongxiang all waved goodbye, watching the two get into the off-road vehicle and gradually move away.

Luo Gong couldn't help sighing: "This trip is all thanks to Mu Qingcheng, if it weren't for him to turn the tide, we wouldn't get anything in Huaxia, even if he has some selfish intentions, as long as he can transport the rhenium back to China, it's nothing." “

Ambassador Zhang shook his head: "Lao Luo, don't be too happy too early, this is just the beginning, the West will not let us get rhenium easily, and there will be a lot of all kinds of troubles in the future, you can watch it." “

Luo Gong looked into the distance, yes, this is just the beginning.

......

Mu Qingcheng drove all the way to the airport, Catherine sat on the side, and said with a relaxed smile: "The global output of rhenium is about 30 tons per year, and once our mine is put into operation, the first phase can reach an annual output of 30 tons, of which 15 tons belong to you, you sell it to Huaxia, deducting operating costs, the annual profit should be three to five hundred million US dollars, it seems that you have to call you Boss Mu." “

Mu Qingcheng didn't answer, his face was calm, and he concentrated on driving the car.

"What's wrong?" said Catherine.

Mu Qingcheng shook his head and said: "Since I was a child, my parents have taught me that I don't want to stand up to the sky, but I want to have a clear conscience, this money is invested by the state in the final analysis, but I sit back and enjoy it, which is equivalent to being generous to the country and fattening my private pocket, my parents will not agree to me making money in this way, I can't take it." “

Catherine immediately turned her head to look at Mu Qingcheng, and gradually, a monster-like look appeared in her eyes.

"What's wrong, why are you looking at me like this, do you think I'm unreasonable?" Mu Qingcheng asked.

Catherine shook her head: "At first, I thought so, but I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in my heart, I have read some of your classic Chinese classics, which can probably be called the temperament, it is a completely different kind of thinking from Western values, it is a kind of spiritual realm that does not care about the gains and losses of external things, and only seeks inner perfection."

I can't imagine that your ideological level is so high, I admire your parents, and of course, I also admire you for making trade-offs. ”

Mu Qingcheng smiled: "I will be very embarrassed if you praise me like this." “

"Stinky beauty!"

Catherine chuckled, then her expression became serious, and she said: "Actually, I didn't think it through, after all, the system in Huaxia is different from the West, although you got the mine, but the investor is your government after all, you profit from it, it is nothing now, but it is not good for the long run, unless you never return to Huaxia, but I wonder, why did you agree at that time?"

Mu Qingcheng said lightly: "I don't take this money, it doesn't mean that anyone can come up and take a bite, the wealth I exchanged for my life should be distributed by me, I will give it to whoever I say, it's not yours, you can't take it, I give it to you before you can take it!"

Catherine's heart trembled slightly!

The sunlight shone on Mu Qingcheng's face through the glass, revealing a layer of faint golden light, at this moment Mu Qingcheng was filled with a heroic aura that revealed the world, and she actually forgot to blink when she saw it.

"Miss Catherine, if you look at me like this, I'll give me an idea. Mu Qingcheng freed up a hand and waved it in front of Catherine's eyes.

Catherine's face was slightly red, and she said, "You are so domineering!"
