Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

Wang Fujie nodded silently when he heard this, and did not express anything else for the time being.

Hu Qilin said again: "Since this place is so desolate, why did you choose this place where the birds don't shit when you chose the site?"

Wang Fujie snorted, but there was no sign of reproach on his face: "You know the ball, this location is connected to Mauritia, Morocco and other places. Although the environment is a bit harsh, the geographical location is very good. "

"On the one hand, we can transport materials from Mauritania. On the other hand, after our future fusion power station is built, the power transmission can radiate to the whole of North Africa."

Hu Qilin was curious again: "Then it stands to reason that unloading from the port of Algiers will take a lot less sea route, and the time will be much tighter. Why do we have to go around the Strait of Gibraltar and land at the port of Nowab on the Atlantic Ocean? , four or five days of time wasted in vain."

Before Wang Fujie could speak, a middle-aged man next to Hu Qilin explained to him with a smile: "It is precisely because the things this time are more important that the goods were unloaded from Nuwab Port and escorted by Zhao's Xiong'an regiment all the way. You should be more assured in terms of safety.”

"Didn't you see that the first two came from Algiers?"

Wang Fujie also closed the document in his hand, rolled it up and put it under his armpit, looked back at his old subordinate and said, "When landing from Algiers, the other party will not let the garrison of our base escort it."

"After all, it is the sovereign territory of other countries, allowing us to station more than 200 guards at the construction base is already the result of a compromise between all parties."

"You didn't look at Britain and France. They both want us to build power stations in their countries, but our bottom line is that we must garrison troops to guard them. This is the need for security and confidentiality. Things are built on the other side's land. What does the other side want to do? Dirty things are still easy."

At that time, due to the high energy prices, European countries had to seek the support of new energy sources, so they urgently wanted to make China's controllable sources "develop; from; small. said, group: 9;8!0?2 '05: 8!! Nuclear fusion can build one in their country, which can not only relieve the domestic energy pressure, but also take the lead in using clean, efficient and huge potential fusion energy.

But one of the domestic requirements is that in the process of construction and operation, it must be guarded by its own army. On the one hand, it is to prevent prying eyes on the construction work of the fusion power station, and it is also a firm attitude.

You want us to build a fusion power station for you, yes, but I still can't trust you, I have to watch it by myself, otherwise I won't talk about it, anyway, even if the domestic oil price is 20 yuan, it is much cheaper than your [-] yuan .

Hu Qilin nodded and said: "So up to now, only France has our first fusion power station built overseas..."

"That's the reason..." Wang Fujie said with a chuckle, "But I heard insider information that the United Kingdom is actually coming soon. It is estimated that after Elizabeth's visit to China, the other party will let go of the matter of the garrison."

This news is actually very exciting.

The middle-aged man who answered Hu Qilin's question couldn't help saying excitedly: "Haha, back then the British devils forcibly leased Hong Kong Island and wantonly leased land on our land to station troops. Now it's our turn to station troops on his territory." Already!!!"

"It was the British Devils who begged us to go there!!!"

Chapter 801 The rain is coming

Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania.

On this day, a special guest came to Zhao Mining's office in Nouakchott.

Eric, the person in charge of the ADM company from the beautiful country, visited Zhao Haidong, the president of Zhao's Africa Region, early in the morning.

ADM是全球四大粮食贸易商之一，他们和邦吉、嘉吉、路易达孚四家公司掌控源"发；自;小.说,群:9;8、0!2，05?8'5：6！！了全球80.00%以上的大宗粮食交易权。

After the simple greetings, Eric first praised Zhao's feat of growing food in the desert.

"There are 800 million deserts in the world today, which cannot be used for human survival and planting. Your company has mastered this technology of growing food in the desert, and undoubtedly dug a huge cornucopia."

Regarding Eric's sugar-coated cannonball, Zhao Haidong laughed it off: "Where is it? ADM is known as the top four grain merchants, with an annual profit of tens of billions. We are just toddlers and we still have a long way to go."

As the world's top grain trader, the other party visited the planting base of Zhao's Mining Mauritania Farm at this time, and when the first batch of grain was about to mature, Zhao Haidong was very clear about his plans.

It is nothing more than to buy the batch of grain he packed, or to discuss the price of grain, etc.

The boss, Zhao An, had told him long ago that this batch of grain would be used for aid in the African region, with the aim of adding several more mines to the Zhao family, especially gold ore mines.

Exchanging grain for mines was Zhao An's preliminary strategy for him.

Therefore, being here with Eric right now is just killing time.

But the other party is also very likely to be just a test...

Sure enough, Eric said next: "I know that your company's first batch of grain is about to be harvested. I don't know what Mr. Zhao thinks about sales."

"Such a large amount of high-quality corn cannot be shipped back to your country for thousands of miles, not to mention your country's grain reserves are the largest in the world."

Zhao Haidong laughed and said, "Of course not, but to be honest, I, Zhao Haidong, don't care where this batch of food will go."

"I'm just a part-time worker, managing the family business for Mr. Zhao of our company. Mr. Eric asked Yu Blind a little bit about this question."

Asking Yu Blind translates into English, which means asking the way to a blind man who can't see, which is not meant to be ironic.

Eric sighed and said: "Compared to Boss Zhao of your company, I still think Mr. Zhao is easier to deal with. I don't know Mr. Zhao is not interested in the position of President of ADM Europe. Our ADM welcomes Mr. Zhao Haidong very much. able to work together.”

Buying food failed, and instead poaching people, this method is really emerging in endlessly.

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Haidong smiled even more happily, not because of ADM's olive branch to him, but because of the other party's methods, in his eyes, no matter how you look at it, it feels awkward and clumsy.

"I'm afraid Mr. Eric hasn't figured it out yet. My major in university is mining, and my task at Zhao's is also to manage Mr. Zhao's mining business in Africa. The matter of growing food is just incidental."

No way, Zhao An put the Alpha spaceship in Mauritius, which doomed Mauritia's status, and also made Zhao Haidong, the president of the pan-African region, move his headquarters to Nouakchott in disguise.

Otherwise, Cairo, Egypt, or Algiers, or even Dodoma, Tanzania, are much better than this poor, tinkling capital.

"So I can only refuse Mr. Eric's invitation helplessly." Zhao Haidong said with a smile.

Eric was not angry at Zhao Haidong's rejection.Zhao Haidong's salary from Zhao's Mining, as well as Zhao An's kindness to Zhao Haidong, a big official in Xinjiang, are not necessarily what ADM can give.

But he still said with a look of regret: "That's really a pity. By the way, in addition to the land in the Mississippi River Basin, our ADM also has a large desert area in Southern California and Nevada. The area is about Fifty-seven thousand hectares."

"However, due to the limitation of our technology and ability, we don't have the strength to develop this desert, so I would like to invite your company to visit this place when the time is right,"

"If your company is capable of developing it at that time, we will give you the right to use this land for 10 years free of charge."

"Mr. Zhao, don't misunderstand anything. We just want your company to develop it for us. After 10 years, we will have [-] hectares of arable land. Why not do it."

There is such a good thing?Give us land to plant?

Even if it is only ten years, one hectare of land can produce about 10 tons of grain in one season. If there are two seasons in a year, 100 hectares of land can harvest more than [-] million tons of grain.

What is the difference between this money and the money picked up for nothing?

But there are always monsters...

Zhao Haidong replied: "Mr. Eric still doesn't quite understand what I mean. I am really just a part-time worker. How will the company develop and which direction will it develop? As an unknown part-time worker, I really have no decision-making power. "

"If you really want to cooperate, you might as well go directly to Jiangcheng to find our President Zhao, or else go to Ai Qingrou and President Ai now, it's the same."

This hand of Tai Chi is very good, no matter what you say, it is just a evasion anyway.

Although Eric was scolding his mother in his heart, he still said with a smile on his face: "Oh, I am also a migrant worker. Mr. Zhao probably doesn't know that there are so many migrant workers like me in ADM, and with my status, If you go to Jiangcheng, I'm afraid you won't even see Mr. Zhao face to face."

This is selling out again...

Zhao Haidong said: "How could it be? Mr. Zhao has always been people-oriented and honesty first. As long as Mr. Eric can show sincerity, I think Mr. Zhao will never refuse."

As for what kind of sincerity can impress Zhao An, Zhao Haidong didn't say anything.

For example, if you, Eric, don't want to work in ADM and want to join Zhao's big ship, Zhao Anru will be happy to hear it.

After talking nonsense with Eric for a long time, the other party finally said goodbye.

However, less than a morning later, when it was approaching lunch, someone came to visit again.

This time it was Louis Dreyfus of France, also one of the four major grain traders.

"Alas, troubled autumn!"

Zhao Haidong lamented the bloody winds of the grain trade, and the rain was about to come, and the other party was obviously giving courtesy first and then soldiers.

Chapter 802 We Can Help You Transport It

Louis Duff's representative is called Mars. He is about [-] years old and is of medium height. His hair is meticulously combed and his clothes are neat, but Zhao Haidong is a little worried about whether the suit he is wearing will be too hot.

"Speaking of which, your company is really remarkable. For hundreds of years, most of the land in Africa has been an ideal place to collect resources, but you are the first to attract attention by growing food."

Mars spoke tepidly, slowly as if explaining that elegance is everywhere.

Zhao Haidong sat indifferently, unwilling to lose his place in front of this staid-looking Frenchman.

He just said modestly: "It's just luck. Our countrymen have a history of planting for thousands of years. Someone once commented that liking planting is our nature engraved in our genes. Even if it is Mars, my first impression should be How many people live on it will consume how much food a day."

As soon as ADM's people left, Louis Duff's people came one after another, and Zhao Haidong knew without even thinking about it that the other party's purpose was still the batch of grains that were about to be produced in the new farmland.

However, the other party likes to put on airs to play machine front, and Zhao Haidong is also happy to play Tai Chi with the other party.

Mars smiled slightly: "That's really great. There are more than 70 billion people in the world today, but more than 14 million people are hungry, and [-] million people are severely hungry. At this point, China can solve the problem of food and clothing for [-] billion people. , it's really amazing."

Speaking of this, Mars saw a trace of sarcasm in Zhao Haidong's eyes flashing away.

He smiled slightly and said, "Do you want to say that the four major grain traders, including Louis Duff, have monopolized the grain trade, which is an important reason why these people suffer from hunger."

Isn't this obvious?

Zhao Haidong complained in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said, "I really haven't studied this, so I won't express my opinion."

The smile on Mars's face remained unchanged, and he continued: "First of all, the four major grain traders are responsible to some extent. This is undeniable, but the more important reason is the uneven production of grain and the fact that the land in Africa is too backward. Caused."

The subtext is that there must be food, and it is definitely enough for people all over the world to enjoy it properly, but these dogs have no money to buy than poor people, so it is none of my business.

It seems that the relationship between the four major grain traders has been cleared away, but what Zhao Haidong wants to say is that if it weren't for you bullshit colonists, although the African continent is barbaric, at least it is peaceful and peaceful.

Although being poor is a little poorer, it is always like a group of robbers coming to your door with guns, clamoring for freedom and democracy, but actually occupying land, mines and various resources.

Although Zhao's Mining also mines mines in Africa, they are all based on the principle of fairness. They use real money to buy mining rights, and the local workers they hire are also paid enough and generous salaries.

So this is one of the reasons why Zhao's Mining, although it is mainly engaged in mining, has set up its African headquarters in Mauritia and started growing food instead, while the management of the mines is relatively negligent and there is no disturbance.

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten, I understand..." Zhao Haidong said indifferently.

Mars smiled, and then said: "Mr. Zhao must be very clear about the purpose of my visit today. I hope to obtain the right to trade a new batch of grain from your company."

"However, I guess you are unlikely to agree, so I want to obtain the right to transport...that is, no matter where you plan to sell, we Louis Duff will transport it for you, how about it?"

Zhao Haidong was somewhat surprised by the discrepancy from what was expected. After a little astonishment, Zhao Haidong smiled and said, "If it's just transportation, it shouldn't be a big problem, but I'm a little curious, what's the purpose of doing this?"

Mars raised his eyebrows and said frankly: "This year's grain situation is destined to be extraordinary. Major grain exporting countries such as India and Cambodia have announced grain export bans one after another. Therefore, it is very necessary for us to know the trend of bulk grain. Some price is not spared..."

When he returned to China before, Zhao Haidong encountered a case of green storage grain. Zhao An also told him that international grain traders began to deploy last year, intending to play a big game on world food security.

The world is bustling, all for profit.

Zhao Haidong nodded and said: "In this case, it shouldn't be a big problem, but I still have to ask our boss for instructions, how about Mr. Mars, I will ask our boss Zhao for instructions first, and then I will contact you to discuss transportation thing?"

Mars raised his well-defined eyebrows: "Yes, we still have the sincerity of this cooperation."

After bidding farewell to Louis Duff's Mars, Zhao Haidong faxed Louis Duff's request for help in transporting the corn that was growing near the new farm back to the Jiangcheng headquarters for Zhao An's opinion.

But when Zhao An heard the news, he just said: "Understood, let Zhao Haidong figure it out!" and ignored it.

It wasn't that Zhao An didn't pay enough attention to this matter, it was because there were more important things that required his attention.

After ten months of pregnancy, Li Zhiyuan's delivery date was approaching, Zhao An basically put down all his business and personal affairs, and fully supported Li Zhiyuan's first delivery.

Li Zhiyuan, who was temporarily relieved of her duties in the police station, has become more mellow during this time. At this time, she is leaning on the sofa, holding a large plate of cherries, grapes, etc., and stuffing one into her mouth from time to time. Satisfied with the sweet taste and supplemented with a large amount of vitamins, looking at Zhao An who is always by his side, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at you. Why are you more nervous than me?"

"Are you kidding me? My nickname is Don't Be Nervous!"

Zhao An laughed and said, "There's a first time for everything, aren't you nervous?"

She smiled softly, gently peeled a grape with her slender fingers, carefully removed the seeds, and then fed it to Zhao An's mouth, saying: "It's okay, I have confidence in myself in this respect, and at the same time Have faith in you..."

Zhao An savored the sweetness in his mouth, and switched his field of view to look at the baby in Li Zhiyuan's stomach.

The sleeping cutie is as quiet as a starry sky, which is endearing.

Zhao An couldn't help but put his head close to Li Zhiyuan's belly, and said softly, "Honey, in two days, you will be able to see Mom and Dad, you have to be good these few days!"

"Don't kick mommy in the stomach and don't rush out."

"I just want to meet the best Zhao Yuqi at the best time."

Zhao Yuqi is the name Zhao An prepared for her daughter.

Chapter 803 Let nature take its course

It is always troublesome for a woman to have a baby.

Especially for mothers-to-be like Li Zhiyuan who are experiencing childbirth for the first time.

At the beginning she was very optimistic, but when she was sent by Zhao An to the private hospital where she was about to give birth, she was admitted to a luxurious single ward, and changed into the clothes she was about to give birth to, she still began to feel a little nervous involuntarily.

Zhao An comforted with a smile: "You don't have to worry about gains and losses like this, it will affect the smooth production instead."

This is the best and most expensive private hospital in Jiangcheng. The location and environment are the best in the industry.

Also matching the price is the reputation of the hospital in the industry.

Zhao Dacheng and Lu Xiufen helped put away Li Zhiyuan's personal belongings by category.
