"We can provide you with electricity to meet the daily needs of millions of people."

Yang Yi talked eloquently at the negotiation table.

Business representatives from Baghdad and Amman listened attentively.

There is a huge gap in their electricity supply.

Even in the capital region, there is not enough access to electricity.

"Our power system construction period is very short, and we can complete it within two years."

Yang Yi looked at the bearded people present and said:

"I believe that our price will also be satisfactory to you."

The delegates present began to communicate in whispers.

There is no shortage of oil in this area.

Almost every country has a lot of oil underground.

But that doesn't mean they have enough electricity.

Thermal power plants need gas turbines.

There are only a few countries in the world that can play with gas turbines.

It is difficult for the average industrial country to complete the whole process of manufacturing independently.

Not to mention these countries that have long relied on oil economies.

So they, actually, are very short of electricity.

"Our representatives want to know your construction quotes and electricity bills."

The interpreter translates the other party's Arabic to the negotiators of Galaxy Power.

"And a payment method that you can accept."

"The cost of our infrastructure will depend on the amount of power you need."

The business staff next to Yang Yi said:

"For example, the receiving station, which generates one million kilowatt hours of electricity per day, will cost $300 million to build."

"If it's a tens of millions of kilowatts of receiving stations, it will cost about $3 billion."

This price actually has a certain price advantage compared with gas turbine power plants.

At present, the price of gas turbines in the country is high.

For a megawatt power plant, the cost of gas turbines alone would be at least a billion dollars.

If it's just expensive, gas turbines are often not available if you want to.

Especially for Baghdad.

They are still being sanctioned by Western forces on all fronts.

Not to mention high-end industrial products such as gas turbines.

Even ordinary mechanical products are hard to come by.

"Friend, your offer is very conscientious."

"But we want to know what your electricity price will be."

The interpreter is diligent in translating the other party's words accurately.

"The price of electricity in the megawatt level is $0.52."

"The price of electricity in the tens of millions of kilowatts is quoted at $0.65."

Yang Yi happily gave them the numbers they had calculated for a long time.

These two electricity tariff quotations are from a domestic point of view.

It can be described as a sky-high price.

However, the electricity price of local residents is actually more expensive than this.

Generally above $0.8.

This is also why Yang Yi will say that it can meet the electricity needs of tens of millions of people.

Because they consume very little electricity per capita.

City dwellers have less than 1 degree per person per day.

Yang Yi: They only need to build five or six million-level receiving stations to meet their needs.

"Friend, you also know that we don't have much dollar reserves at the moment."

After agreeing with the price, the other party raised a small question.

"I don't know if you can accept other payment methods."

Yang Yi's heart moved.

The other party may want to trade with them with oil.

"Can we pay with crude oil?"

The other party said cautiously.

Yang Yi pretended to be displeased, but he was actually quite happy in his heart.

"We don't have crude oil-related trade, so we have to take a lot of risk with this kind of payment."

The risks of crude oil trading are still quite large.

It's not just about the volatility of crude oil prices.

If, after a trade, the price of crude oil falls sharply, they may incur a loss.

What's more, oil tankers in Baghdad may not be able to leave the port smoothly.

It is possible for the local rebels to strike at the tankers.

In the past year, such an accident has occurred.

A self-detonating dinghy attacked a large oil tanker.

Losses of up to hundreds of millions of dollars have been caused.

"We can allow you to escort tankers entering and leaving the port."

At this time, the other party threw out a condition that Yang Yi would find difficult to refuse.

Yang Yi lowered his head and thought for a while at this time.

There are a lot of aspects involved in this matter, and it is not for her to decide alone.

"I need to ask our board of directors before I can get back to you."

"Please be considerate."

The meeting was suspended for the time being.

Both sides need to report domestically.

All aspects of cooperation are important.

"It's a good thing for us."

Chen Su said after returning to their floor in the hotel.

"Our influence is still mainly concentrated on the south side of the peninsula, and if we can reach this cooperation, then we can also exert our influence in the north."

The area of activity of the escort fleet in the Gulf of Aden is still relatively small.

Mainly concentrated in the Red Sea region, it is also the area where pirates are most active.

The Persian Gulf is different.

The main people who are active on the local sea are all kinds of terrorists.

Compared to pirates, they are more ferocious and more fearless of death.

The weapons and equipment they use are also much better than those of the pirates.

"This matter still depends on domestic opinions."

Yang Yi shook his head and said.

"We're going to Addis Ababa tomorrow, how's the preparations?"

Yang Yi mentioned another thing.

They will go to the capital of Ethiopia tomorrow to negotiate energy supply with the local people.

"The plane is ready to take off."

Cheng Hanjie still replied expressionlessly.

"I heard that the security in Ethiopia is not very good, and there is a possibility of rebellion in the northern state, so you must be mentally prepared."

Chen Su reminded them.

He had been in the area for a long time, and some of the gossip had been known earlier.

"We're ready to fight."

Cheng Hanjie nodded and said after informed.

——

Yang Yi and the others are going to take a large business jet this time, which is temporarily rented.

Not long after takeoff, the business jet landed at the airport in Addis Ababa.

"It's pretty warm in here."

Yang Yi said with some emotion after getting off the plane.

The capital of Ethiopia is located on a plateau, but it is like spring all year round.

Cheng Hanjie stood quietly beside her in full gear.

The rest of the security personnel are also fully prepared.

Underneath everyone's bulging body is a close-fitting power armor.

In the box he was carrying, he was carrying heavy firepower such as bazookas, mortars, and recoilless guns.

Ethiopia has a large population, but it is basically an agricultural population.

Even the capital is home to just over four million people.

It is comparable to the provincial capitals in China.

This time, not many people came to Ethiopia, only a dozen people in total.

Half of them stayed in the camel country to deal with related matters.

"Our car has arrived."

Cheng Hanjie stood in front of Yang Yi and said.

They don't have much local connections.

Before I came, I just got a few large cars through the embassy.

However, they are not bulletproof models.

There is no comparison with the treatment they had in the camels before.

The members of Galaxy Power rode in three cars.

There are also two security guards in each vehicle.

The convoy didn't ask for a driver, it was all security guards driving.

Halfway through, the first car was just about to cross a bridge that looked a little older.

"Boom!"

Under the bridge, where the water of the original small bridge was quiet, a violent fire suddenly erupted!

The deafening explosion instantly enveloped a distance of several hundred meters in a radius.

The four cars that followed came to a sudden stop in an instant.

Cheng Hanjie jumped out of the No. 2 car.

With a big jump, he jumped into the river.

Car No. 1 has been distorted and deformed by the blast wave.

Judging by ordinary people's judgment.

There is basically no possibility for the people in the car to survive.

But Cheng Hanjie knows that there is a good chance that they will survive.

Because they are wearing power armors, they can protect them.

Four cars still stuck on the road.

At this time, the security personnel in each car got out of the car.

Hold your own weapons and stand around.

Cheng Hanjie used brute force with the help of his armor to tear the deformed car door.

The few people sitting inside were fine, except for a slight dizziness.

"To the southeast, a suspicious person was spotted at 1.1 km."

The drone that flew out to search found some strangely behaved people in the distance.

"Chase!"

Cheng Hanjie said expressionlessly.

"Remember to keep your mouth alive."

The security guards around the convoy came out of four.

A squad was formed.

Began to chase towards the area where the suspicious person had just been discovered.

Although there are dead branches and weeds everywhere, the road is extremely difficult to walk.

But the security personnel's titanium steel boots are not afraid of these at all.

The lenses on the holographic helmet switched instantly, even if there was still a distance of seven or eight hundred meters.

The attacking players have been able to see each other clearly.

The security guards, armed with firearms, did not shoot directly.

Instead, he overtook Bolt at a speed that caught up with the suspicious person who was still fleeing in less than a minute.

After warning the other party to stop to no avail.

One of them is a strong man who is more than 1.9 meters tall and resembles an upright brown bear.

He went up and gave one of the skinny men a punch.

The other party obviously didn't expect them to catch up so quickly.

Originally, I was still a little stunned.

As a result, under a blow, he fainted directly.

The remaining few people, seeing that they couldn't escape, fell directly to their knees.

Then he spoke the local vernacular.

Several people present frowned.

They thought it would be a killer from the West or something.

But I didn't expect the other party to be so careful.

I found a few local natives to do this.

That's not easy.

Because of the language barrier, they couldn't ask anything if they wanted to.

Fortunately, there were translators from China in the convoy, as well as local interpreters from the embassy.

Should be able to ask something.

Seeing that the other party will not resist, but in order to prevent the other party from escaping.

Still use a cable tie to tie each other's two thumbs tightly together.

The feet were also tied together with cable ties.

Then everyone seemed to be carrying a sack, and one person carried two people and left the scene.

"Mr. Yang, is your job so dangerous?"

The local interpreter said with some palpitations.

When the fire that had just exploded rose, it really frightened him.

Although civil strife has often broken out in Ethiopia before.

But the past two years have been much better.

At least in the vicinity of the capital, this kind of thing is rare.

"This kind of thing, you may still see it in the next few days, just get used to it."

Yang Yi calmly looked at the people who came back from two directions and said.

Cheng Hanjie just brought back the people in car No. 1.

The four men who went to arrest people also returned.

"It seems that a few of them carried out the bombing attack, but they seem to be speaking the local dialect, which we don't understand."

The one-meter-nine strong man threw the man on his shoulder like a chick.

"You can ask and see if you can ask something."

Yang Yi's eyes also looked at the translator beside him at this time.

"Well, what do you want to ask?" The translator was a little flustered by the many eyes that looked at him.

"Ask their Messenger first."

Cheng Hanjie said with some anger.

This path was chosen improvised when they were on the plane.

It turned out to be an explosion attack.

On the plane, he did not find anyone delivering messages to the outside world.

Then it can only be that they have ambushes at all the key points from the airport to the capital district.

The interpreter licked his lips slightly, and then began to communicate with the few people who were crouching on the ground.

After more than ten minutes of conversation.

The interpreter looked up and said, "They don't seem to know who is behind it. ”

"They are a job from a man's hand."

"Have them press the button of a remote control after seeing a convoy."

"They don't know exactly what's going on."

It seems that they are all just a knife.

Cheng Hanjie thought helplessly.

Who is behind the scenes, they still don't know.

The enemy hides in the shadows, and every now and then a cold arrow comes in.

No matter how strong they are, sooner or later they will be hit.

Only by finding a way to find out the enemy and then destroying them can Cheng Hanjie feel at ease.

"Hand them over to the local police."

Yang Yi sighed and said:

"We'll talk to the locals as soon as we can and leave, and try not to give them time to attack."

Although Yang Yi himself was able to endure the attacks from time to time, his subordinates seemed to be about to be frightened.

They also knew a little about the dangers of this trip before they left the country.

But I didn't expect it to be a roadside bomb of this level of danger!

The slightest mistake can lead to death!

"For the rest of the journey, we will open the way."

Cheng Hanjie nodded seriously and said.

On the next road, Cheng Hanjie personally opened the way ahead.

Fortunately, there were no more bombings for the rest of the journey.

After handing over those few people to the local police.

The local government offered to take charge of their safety, but Cheng Hanjie refused.

Now he doesn't believe in anyone but his own.

If not they were careful enough.

I don't know how many accidents will happen along the way.

That's it, they all got bombed!
