Chapter 425: Bargaining

Ding Hao's first choice was to inspect the gold mine, which is located at the junction of Nigeria, Benin and Niger, nearly 300 kilometers northwest of the capital Abuja. The surrounding environment is relatively complex. After a few hours of radio waves, the crowd arrived at the mine. Ding Hao was greeted by a middle-aged Chinese man in his fifties.

"Lao Huang, this is Le Shao, the young owner of the Ding family, and the son-in-law of Li Dong!" The clerk in Abuja introduced Ding Hao and others to Lao Huang.

"Le Shao, hello, you're finally here." Lao Huang seemed a little excited, Lao Huang's name is Huang Yunhua, he has been in Nigeria for six years, and the people around him have changed batch after batch in the past six years, and he has insisted on it until now because his son wants to go to school.

Ding Hao didn't have too much entanglement, but went directly to the residence of Lao Huang and others to start understanding the situation. There are eight Chinese people in charge of the gold mine, but because the mine is so large, they also conduct a full patrol of the mine once a month. The number of hesitants is too small, and even if they find poachers, they can only warn them on the spot and call the police when the time comes.

To put it simply, the existence of Lao Huang and others only shows the local government and other forces that the gold mine is ownery, and does not really play a role in protecting the mine. Ding Hao expected this when he first heard Li Zhengya talk about it. If there is no patrol of more than fifty or sixty people, it is impossible to completely eliminate poaching. Of course, if you want to conquer it, at least you yourself must be mining, and you can hint at paying taxes to help them solve employment by the way!

In the afternoon and evening, Ding Hao, Ma Dai'an, Wang Qinian, and others respectively asked the Chinese stationed here to understand the situation. The rest of the people started talking to each other after setting up their tents. , they couldn't help it when they were in the hotel. Ding Hao's potion brought them too many surprises!

Lao Huang is a very talkative person, his hometown is in Sichuan, he has a son and a daughter, his daughter is in college, and his son is in his third year of high school, so the family urgently needs money, so he is honestly guarding here. However, the time of the passing years is not in vain. In addition to having some trouble recuperating from injuries, he is very familiar with the situation around the gold mine.

On the southeast and west sides of the gold mine lived three different tribes, the largest of which numbered three or four thousand, and the smaller one of a thousand. On the other hand, he was accused by a group of unidentified militants, who often attacked nearby tribes, including Lao Huang and others. It's just that there is no oil and water, and then I rarely come.

After some discussions with Mr. Huang and two employees of Mr. Li's company, who had been in Abuja for several years, Mr. Ding decided to start visiting the three tribes the next day. After all, this is in Africa, and although the Ding and Li families bought the gold mines from the government, they still conflict with the interests of the local tribes. Ding Hao didn't want to get into trouble with the neighbors around him! This is also what Li Zhengya specially explained.

Ding Hao's first target was the most populous Igbo people, who gathered directly east of the gold mines. Their colony is also the main gateway for the mining area to the outside world and to the capital, Abuja.

They didn't think much of Ding Hao's visit, especially the elders of the tribe. They are accustomed to seeing the methods of European and American capitalists, and basically have no or even good feelings for such entrepreneurs who come to Africa to open mines. What's more, Ding Hao is so young! Of course, Ding Hao doesn't need them to worship himself, he just needs a promise. So the attitude is relatively humble, as thick as possible, and whispers to people with anger.

Ding Hao's purpose is to make sure that his gold mine is going smoothly, and the Yibo people don't make trouble. For example, if you don't want to intercept it, you don't go to the mining area to make trouble or even sneak attack. It was such a simple request, the elder smiled after hearing this, but looked at Ding Hao without saying anything. It was clear that the elder was also a very intelligent man, and he knew the riches of the gold mines. Although they are not capable of mining, it is impossible for others to make a living in their own vicinity, no matter who comes, without some blood.

Ding Hao had no choice but to tell all his bottom line, and he said to the translator: "Promise them to give priority to the strong men of the Yibo nationality to be absenteeism, and in addition, regardless of men, women, old and young, several villages and towns near the mining area will give a subsidy of 2,000 yuan per person per year!" ”

"Le Shao, will it be too much?" The translator looked at Ding Hao and asked. You must know that the villages and towns that rely on the gold mines alone add up to nearly 1,000 people in the first three phases, 2,000 per person, and more than 8 million per year! If several other tribes followed suit, they would pay more each year.

"No, you just tell him. However, the population is limited to the existing villages and towns, and the newly born after I, and no immigrants will be affected at that time. "This subsidy policy was actually discussed by Li Zhengya and Ding Chumad a long time ago. After all, mining destroys the environment, and the personnel and goods of your own company have to pass through the territory of the Igbo people, which can be regarded as road money.

The translator told Ding Hao's words to the elders, and the elders kept nodding, but they didn't talk much, obviously he was satisfied, and he also recognized Ding Hao's restriction on the total population, after all, the people in the villages and towns outside were not his subordinates, so there was no need to pull in and pit everyone together. But soon his face was calm again.

Obviously not enough! Or maybe there's something to look forward to!

Ding Hao knew that he had met the old fox, and he knew that this kind of thing with an interest in negotiation should be done by Uncle Li. Ding Hao turned around and asked Lao Huang again. Lao Huang briefly explained the situation of this Igbo gathering place again.

"Build a road from the mine to the outside of town in two years! Help build a school! Ding Hao asked about the situation of this Igbo settlement, and then opened again and added new conditions. After the highway was completed, it was also shared by the residents of the mining area and the villages and towns, and this would always be negotiated with the deputy of the local government, and it was given back at that time. As for aiding the construction of schools, Ding Hao also wants to mine here for a long time. Local youths who graduate from their visionary schools are less likely to turn against harassment and looting in the mining area.

This elder was very happy, there were many more smiles on his face, and several people next to him also nodded frequently. It is located on the border with Nigeria, some distance from the big cities. Transportation facilities have been poor and schools are dilapidated. Ding Hao's condition is exactly what they are looking forward to.

So the locals at the scene seemed to be satisfied. But the cunning old fox did not speak, nor was he in the warm hand as he had met at the beginning. This is the old fox! is scheming, knows that Ding Hao has placed the order of the skin care mining area, and also knows that he cannot do without the support of his own clan. Able to knock a little more eleven o'clock. There is no end to human desires!

"What else could they ask for?" Ding Hao didn't plan to blindly put forward the conditions by himself, which would be too much of a loss, so Sister Hui asked.

The elder was chattering in front of the translator for a while, and shook his head in response, and was about to speak to Ding Haoting, when Ding Hao waved his hand to stop the translator. Although the gold mine may be very profitable, if it is all squeezed by this local tribe, then what do you have to do all the way to do it? If you really want to talk about welfare, you should try to give it to your employees, especially those Chinese who have left their hometowns and come here.

"Well, then, ask the elder, how many young men are there in their tribe in this vicinity? Is there two thousand? …… Forget it, don't ask, you tell him directly, in order to express our willingness to live in harmony, let him gather one hundred of the strongest young people of his clan to fight with our mine protection pair, it can be regarded as not knowing each other, and other conditions are easy to discuss. ”

The translation of "this ......" is a little difficult to look at Ding Hao, and then look at Lao Huang. Because he knew that Ding Hao had only stayed with a total of 40 people, did he want to let these people be one-on-three?

"It's okay, it's just a competition, aren't foreigners very envious of Chinese kung fu? Let them see! Real Chinese Kung Fu is also good. "The so-called grace and power, in terms of grace, Ding Hao knows that he can no longer back down, and the next thing is to show his mighty side.

The interpreter told Ding Hao's words to the elders and others, and the elders frowned at first, and later learned that Ding Hao would send up to 30 people to appear, and they could choose 100 people, of course, just to learn! The Yibo people lost, and Ding Hao was responsible for the medical expenses, with a subsidy of 100 yuan per person. If the Yibo clan wins, in addition to medical expenses and subsidies, Ding Hao is also willing to give a gift of 100,000 yuan. The elder and the crowd also became relieved, and immediately someone went out to find someone as the elder had instructed.

Seeing that the other party promised Ding Hao not to talk nonsense with them, he came directly to the outside of the house, and saw that those team members were fighting with each other, so he clapped his palms and asked everyone to gather.

"Well, this Igbo tribe is also a big ethnic group in Nigeria, and although the population near this mining area is not large, it is not possible not to deter it. Preferential conditions naturally have to be given some. But we should also show some of our strength. ”

As soon as Ding Hao said this, everyone immediately understood the meaning of gorgeousness. Since it is mine protection, it is natural to show the strength of mine protection!

Soon more than 100 young men of the Igbo tribe were assembled in the clearing. They can still make money by fighting, and of course they don't want to miss such a good thing. The purchasing power of 100 yuan is still good locally.

Ding Hao looked at the dark-skinned locals, and then looked at his team members, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Brother Dai An, choose 10 of the best skills to play with them." "Ding Hao is talking about playing, playing with the other party between applause. Naturally, you can't lose, and it's not a shame to run here to beat the Australian dollar.

"Okay!" As soon as I heard Ding Hao say that he only picked one, he knew that he was going to take the opportunity to stand up for power. However, Ma Dai'an is not worried, these people of his own are selected by the city when they are soldiers. After a short period of intensive training in Qianjiang, the combat experience was greatly enriched. Yesterday, I leveraged to get Ding Hao's potion. And although these natives look strong, they are just some farmers after all, and if they can't deal with these people, they are really blind to Ding Hao's medicine.

When the elder and other onlookers of the Igbo clan heard that Ding Hao only sent 10 people, they couldn't believe their ears, and they all shook their heads after repeatedly asking the translator, which means that Ding Hao lost, did this guy deliberately give a gift? I can't figure out what Ding Hao wants to do?

But this is not the case, Ma Dai'an and Wang Qinian, in order to prevent accidents, two people also joined the team of 10 people, 10 people stood back to back in the center, and more than 100 people of the Yibo tribe besieged the city from outside and challenged them.
