As he said that, Weinberg looked up at Sean and said, "It's best to invest in ADM, Bunge, and Cargill. In this way, you will be invincible in the entire industrial chain."
Enough!
Sean grinned and gave a thumbs up, "The most I want to do is to manipulate the price of ore to threaten people. Good guy, you want to control the entire industrial chain, you are more ruthless than me!"
Weinberg smiled very reservedly, "I personally think that the food strategy can play a very important role in the future international situation. It is very important to the United States, and it is a force that Congress must win over. At the same time, it can also play an important role in the international arena. manipulation."
"Okay, just do what you want." Sean laughed, "It's just that ADM is going to curse."
If Weinberg spread his hands, it has nothing to do with him. He is no longer the Minister of Defense, and ADM has no ability to check and balance Sean.
……
"We, ADM, want to partner with Mr. Sean to establish a mining development company. What does Mr. Sean think?" Within two days, Belloc Towne approached him again.
"The company." Sean looked Belloc Tony up and down, "So, in this company, what is ADM's core competitiveness?"
Ordinary people do business in partnership because one person lacks funds or shares risks, but at Xiao En's level, the core competitiveness of business cooperation is the focus.
"Production and sales." Belloc Tony said in a deep voice: "Our ADM consumes tens of thousands of tons of fertilizer every year and eats all the products."
Sean shook his head, "What does that have to do with Bukla? There are only so many phosphate mines in the world, and I don't need to get involved in production and sales at all."
"Mr. Sean really wants to do the best!" Belloc Tony's face darkened immediately, he gritted his teeth, it's too late to regret it now, he should have found MPRI sooner!
Now that such a guy who eats people and doesn't spit out his bones is brought out, MPRI will definitely not accept this task in order to avoid conflicts.
You can look at other security companies around the world...
What's the matter, as far as the record of the umbrella is concerned, Belloc Tony himself has no confidence in those small security companies.
"Business is business. ADM can't show its core competitiveness. What does that have to do with me." Sean raised his hand and licked his ears.
"That bank, Mr. Sean, don't want it!" In the end, Belloc Tony could only throw out this, he really had no bargaining chips.
"Yes, of course, one size fits all."
Ha, Belloc Tunney is so pissed off, I've never seen such a brazen person!
"Mr. Xiao En is really ruthless."
"I owe you ADM a favor."
"You already owe one. Obviously, Mr. Xiao En's favor is not worth much."
Sean touched his nose embarrassingly, "Human favors are also divided into big and small, that's it."
Because of the difficulty, Sean said: "The phosphate mine in Monaco, I, Sean, will decide, even Jesus can't stop it!"
"However, I, Sean, am not a person who only wants to eat alone."
"Phosphate mining involves a complete industrial chain. It is not isolated. I can establish a joint venture company with ADM, a company specializing in the production of phosphate fertilizer." Sean looked up at Belloc Towne, "What do you want? It is to ensure that the supply of chemical fertilizers will not be interrupted. It is enough to have this company that specializes in products, and there is no need to intervene in the ore business.”
"To be honest, which of the mining businesses in Africa is not blood-stained? This business has a bad reputation. You are engaged in agriculture, so this is not suitable for you."
Belloc Tony frowned and made it again. Sean's proposal was considered to be seven inches above ADM's. If he didn't cooperate, it would definitely be a loss. He fed the dog with a good news, and nothing was left behind.
Cooperation is not reconciled, what the hell, mining, such a big profit, every shovel is full of dollars!
"From the perspective of your ADM, I think you should agree. ADM has just stepped out of the United States for 3 years. You should feel it. Even if it is backed by the United States, there are some things that the country is not easy to deal with. On the contrary, it is a private company like me. , have no scruples in acting."
"For example, the expansion of ADM in Southeast Asia, the help I can provide will not be lower than that of the United States!"
This last sentence knocked out Belloc Tony's last breath.
"Well, Mr. Sean, personally, you won, but I believe the company will not refuse to cooperate with Umbrella in Southeast Asia."
"Look, that's right. Cooperation is greater than confrontation. As everyone knows, I'm easy to talk." Sean laughed and said, "Then, we can talk about cooperation in Southeast Asia, for example, setting up a joint venture company!"
Belloc Tony stared at Sean in a daze, what the hell is a joint venture company, Sean, is it skinny?
Chapter 365: Chaos in Western Sahara
Belloc Tony has seen what it means to be stinky and shameless.
How did you think at the beginning, why did you find Sean?
What the hell am I here for?
Send money?
Geneva, money back!
Belloc Tony looked at Sean with a broken face, but he couldn't say it if he refused.
Sean wants to help them open up the Southeast Asian market, the temptation is too great.
I really can't say no to it, but I feel guilty for agreeing.
The well-calculated Bukela mining area made wedding clothes for people.
That's not enough, what the hell, they have to join forces with themselves to set up a fertilizer manufacturing company, use the mines they snatched from their own hands to produce fertilizers and sell them to themselves, and make a lot of money.
This is not enough, we have to set up a joint venture company with ourselves, get involved in the Southeast Asian market, and exploit another layer!
What the hell, the capitalists will cry when they see it!
Are you still human!
Sean showed a warm smile, got up and pulled Belloc Tony to sit down again, "Let me tell you this, I am familiar with Southeast Asia."
"Ping!" Sean waved his hand.
"The Limbang area, I just took it, and the whole city was flattened by me. It is a plain where two rivers meet, and a rice-producing area. In a word, I can get the right to manage it."
"They sold it to you like crazy, and the purpose of going back is to ensure the domestic food supply." Belloc Tony stared.
"That's because I didn't pay attention to that little money, and I don't get involved in agriculture, so it's not troublesome enough." Sean curled his lips.
It is indeed a small amount of money, but there is still a profit of several million a year.
Sean doesn't like it, but ADM does!
ADM relies on such a little bit of expansion in agriculture to have today's territory.
"How about Sarawak, 12 square kilometers, 30% of the land is suitable for agricultural production, rich in rice, palm oil, sago, pepper, rubber, etc. Among them, pepper production accounts for 90% of Malay's total production."
"Can you win the Malays? You just fought against them!" Belloc Tony looked disbelieving.
Sean laughed, and slapped Belloc Tony on the shoulder, "Think about it carefully, is it very familiar, blasting open their country gate with giant ship cannons, and then proceed..."
"Colonization!!" Belloc Tony's eyes widened instantly.
"How do you call colonization!" Sean's face darkened, "I call it mutual prosperity, Southeast Asia's G glory, it's called letting some people get F up first!"
Heh, the corners of Belloc Tony's mouth twitched, shamelessly, but I like it!
"Vietnam, Thailand, ADM to talk, that is a little grind, a little talk, but I am different, whoever does not give me face, whoever their goods will not want to leave the port!!" Sean stared and shouted loudly road.
'Gulu' Belloc Tony swallowed, he remembered one thing, legend, legend, the driving force behind the pirates in Southeast Asia is Sean.
Now it seems that this thing may be frankly true!
"Otherwise, I'll take a shot in Southeast Asia first, and see my bargaining chips when the time comes, and then we'll talk about investing in ADM. It's empty talk, and now it seems like I'm bullying you ADM." Sean suddenly became reserved. up.
"No, wait, buy shares in ADM??" Belloc Tony spat out old blood. Didn't he set up a Southeast Asian branch just now? How did this become a share in ADM?
How can you be so shameless!
"Why, what's the problem? As you know, I'm not very interested in agriculture. It's just an investment. I can't really manage it. After all, my main business is umbrella security, and it's New Century Media. It doesn't sound good, I don't care much about these two companies."
"Bukla, if I win, I will also be handed over to the managers. I believe that the managers I hired are hard-working and honest people, and they absolutely 'dare not' to cheat me."
"Those people who were found to be greedy for my money last year disappeared for some reason." Sean tsk-tsk, with a regretful expression on his face, "If they can be found, they will definitely change their ways, but unfortunately, no Here's the chance."
Belloc Tony coughed violently. Your management style is really... good.
"Okay, don't worry, let's do this first, you guys think about it, let's talk about it in a few days, such a big matter can't be done in a day or two." Sean said with a smile.
Belloc Towne left from Newark again in a daze. He didn't think about it until he got on the plane. How did he become Sean's shareholder of ADM?
Belloc Towne looks like a subway man. Damn it, how did my plan become like this? !
The person left, but Sean felt good, Weinberg, what a genius!
My own use of the umbrella is still too primitive and rough.
Everything here was handed over to the people below, and Sean led the people to the sky palace and headed straight to Madrid, the capital of Spain.
After visiting the King of Spain, visiting the Royal Palace, attending a reception, and watching a Real Madrid game at the Bernabéu accompanied by the royal family, after fulfilling a dream in his previous life, he sat in the Golden Palace and went straight to Arrecife.
Arrecife, the Canary Islands of Spain, the southeast coast of Lanzarote, the island's economic and transportation center.
It is located in the Atlantic Ocean, 120 kilometers northwest of Western Sahara and Monaco. Although it is not a tourist center city, it is actually very beautiful.
In a villa on the island, Sean met Armstrong who had arrived in Western Sahara earlier.
"The internal situation in Western Sahara is very complicated. It can be said that it is a mess. I don't know where to start." Armstrong scratched his head. The fine sand is not easy to wash, and it is uncomfortable to stick in his hair.
"Ha, first let me tell you how Caesar got entangled in Morocco." Sean asked history first, which is very important.
"In the 7th century, Morocco occupied the current Caesar. At that time, Morocco was very strong. It was beaten across the Mediterranean and occupied Spain and Portugal. It was not completely driven out until the end of the 15th century. Later, Spain fought the sea. , The colonial struggle began. 80 years ago, at the beginning of this century, the French took 35% of the territory of Africa. Central Africa, West Africa, and North Africa were almost all taken by the French. There was only a little left in Spain, which is now Western Sahara .”
"After the start of the independence movement, the Spaniards have been reluctant to let go. It was not until the death of the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco that they withdrew from Western Sahara under the persecution of the United Nations, but there were also hidden dangers. When they rebelled against the Spaniards, they once formed an alliance with Morocco. Morocco was supported by France and the United States. It also wanted to reproduce the glory of the 7th century. It wanted to annex Algeria, Caesar and Mauritania to establish Greater Morocco. Therefore, the Spaniards fought as soon as they left .”
"Since ancient times, right?" Sean sneered, it was so funny.
"Then let's talk about how many countries have arrangements here." Sean said with a smile.
"First, we are the United States."
"Ah, are we still plotting here?" Sean was also taken aback.
"Since 1950, Morocco has become the country that receives the most aid from the United States in the Arab world except Egypt, and the amount of aid accounts for about one-fifth of the total aid from the United States to Africa." Armstrong said in a deep voice: "Essentially, The United States supports Morocco, of course, not completely, at least the king is hated by the White House, as far as I know, the CIA has tried, but failed."
"This is really messy." Sean slammed his mouth, "Who else?"
"As the former suzerain of Morocco, France is unwilling to lose Morocco, a source of raw materials and a commodity market, and has also provided Morocco with huge economic and military assistance to ensure France's interests in the region. After the outbreak of the Western Sahara conflict, France clearly expressed its support. Morocco, and directly referred to Western Sahara as Morocco's 'Southern Provinces' to express its position."
"Then Spain, as the former sovereign state of Western Sahara, takes a positive and neutral attitude on the Western Sahara issue, recognizes the legitimacy of the PFIS, and safeguards its economic interests in fisheries and phosphate mining in Western Sahara."
"Wait a minute, the Spaniards are mining my phosphate mine?" Sean's eyes widened.
Armstrong coughed, god damn your phosphate mine!
You haven't arrived in Western Sahara yet, okay? !
"It's not the phosphate mines in the Bukra area you think, but the southwest coast of Western Sahara, where phosphate mines are very rich, and Bukra is just one of the earlier mines developed."
"Hey, I have so many phosphate mines, ah ha ha ha, but that can't be ruined by the Spaniards." Sean chuckled, "Bukla is in the hands of the French?"
"Well, it's more complicated." Armstrong said with a wry smile: "Bukla is in the northwest corner of Xisar, very close to the Moroccan border. This area was occupied by Morocco in 82."
"Of course, the Western Sahara People's Front is not reconciled. It has been armed to resist. YSL teaches, you know."
"The mining company currently mining is indeed French, and the mercenaries stationed there are indeed French mercenaries. However, most of them are of Moroccan origin. It is difficult to tell whether they are Moroccan or French."
Sean frowned, and it took him a long time to continue asking: "How much land does Morocco occupy in Xisar now?"
"Half!" Armstrong pointed to Sean with a map, "The eastern border and southern regions near Mauritania are still in the hands of the Sisars, but according to this situation, the Sisass will not last long, especially the southern region. , is now the main point of attack in Morocco."
"Oh, by the way, the Spanish phosphate mines are in the south."
"Okay, okay, let me think about it." Sean took the map. The map of Sisar is divided into different colors. The FASIS is yellow, and the other areas are four colors. Each color represents a different Morocco. Territory occupied by the period.
Pointing his finger on Morocco, Sean couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The forces here are intricate and complicated. It's not difficult for him, a big shark, to rush in. Even if he rushes into his battleships, they also want to get a share of the action, but what he wants is not a share. Soup!
But for no reason, even if I have the strength, I can't really launch a big war and conquer everyone. This is not decades ago.
Then I can't enter Morocco so rashly!
Eyes turned to Western Sahara.
The Western Saes are at a disadvantage. At this time, as long as there is a straw, they will definitely grab it.
"Armstrong, tell me, if I choose to support the FAPS, can I drive the Spaniards away and take them to two mining areas in the southern region?" Sean looked up and asked.
"No, you must first get the support of the local tribe." Armstrong sighed.
Sean: "???"
"Why did it pop up again? The tribe returned it. Where is my alliance?"
"This is Africa. Isn't it normal to have tribes?" Armstrong smiled wryly. "This is the chaos I was talking about. Just now you only asked about foreign forces, not domestic ones."
"Western Sahara society is based on tribes. The largest tribe is Lakibat, which accounts for half of the total population. Each tribe is divided into several families. People of the same tribe are nomadic together, and each has pastures. The chiefs of each tribe form a The group formulates tribal decrees according to Islamic law and appoints chiefs, and the chiefs of each tribe form the Western Sahara Chiefs Assembly, which has dozens of members and is the highest authority."
