America's Big Hero

During this period of time, he felt like a nanny, forced to be responsible for advising an African country with a population of more than 2000 million.

Is it easy for me to make some money!

Sean will definitely not appear at the venue, but there is no problem in traveling to Switzerland in his own name.

Murray Sheedy needs Sean to listen to the negotiator's report every night, and to formulate a bottom line and strategy. In other words, he just feels that with Sean around, he has confidence.

Sean didn't bother to do anything, and the two planes arrived in Geneva at the same time.

"Concessions are certain. The core issues are, first, the market will never be open, but special policies can be formulated on specific commodities, such as wheat. The French will definitely mention this. Tariffs can be reduced or simply exempted. Give the market to the French."

Moulay Sheedy opened his mouth, and it's definitely not a good idea to hand over the food problem to others.

"Don't think about it. It is impossible for you to grow food to support yourself. The land area is not allowed, and the climate is not allowed. There is no need to have unrealistic ideas. If you think so much, it is better to make a good food reserve."

"Of course, the opening of the wheat market is not without cost. The French are required to open their markets to Moroccan agricultural products or reduce tariffs."

"The confiscated mechanical processing industries can be returned to the French, but there must be conditions." Sean thought for a while and said: "First: this round of large-scale construction in Morocco will re-plan the urban layout, and their factories must obey For the relocation arrangement, we will provide a better site and land for the expansion of the factory, and the rebuilt factory will become a joint venture company, part of the shares will belong to the Moroccan government, and part will belong to the Moroccan investment company.”

"By the way!" Sean suddenly remembered an important thing, "Morocco's labor laws need to be re-enacted, and the minimum wage standards for different cities, the maximum working hours and other regulations must be stipulated."

"There are now, but it's hard to follow."

"I know this, but with the law, we can have a reason to take action. This is very important, but one thing must be remembered, don't make it particularly strict." As he said, Sean raised his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" Murray Sheedy looked at Sean in a daze. He felt that he might have misheard. What do you mean not to be particularly strict?

Isn't the stricter the law the better, the less people will take advantage of loopholes?

"Punishment cannot be known, power cannot be measured, and the people are afraid of the superior. Now the law is made to determine it, and the tripod is set to show it. In the law, the old people are not afraid of it." Xiao En dragged out a passage of ancient text, let alone Mulai Xidi, the others were even more confused.

"The laws and regulations are too strict, then the people below will know the cost of making mistakes, so they will become unscrupulous, and the fear will change from those who hold power to the law. This is the most detrimental to those who hold power."

"For example, we can set the working hours as 8 hours, but we don't stipulate that these 8 hours are a whole from [-] to [-], or simply excluding eating, going to the toilet, resting, etc. The pure working time, this is called flexibility! "

"For example, if we say more than eight hours, we have to set off, how to judge light, moderate, severe, but, what is light and what is severe, there is no specific standard for this, it is up to us to judge according to the actual situation , which is called fuzzy boundary."

"In this way, we can use legal weapons to attack dissidents and support ourselves!"

"Oh!!!" Everyone in the room suddenly realized and felt chills at the same time, damn it, it really is an old capitalist.

Xiao En looked indifferent, what is an ancient civilization!

Next, Sean talked about a few key points to be kept in the negotiations, especially about the phosphate industry. This is what Sean wants, and he must not give an inch.

Of course, nominally it must be an official Moroccan requirement.

The reason is that the previous contract was signed with a strong colonial color, and the needs of the people in the resource area were not considered reasonably, and the exploitation was extremely serious. In this regard, you can refer to OPEC's repeated changes to the contract over the years.

In view of the long-term exploitation of French capital in the past, the Moroccan side will impose penalties. The reason is random, and the result is the confiscation of related industrial assets. The agreement will be renewed in the future, and the Moroccan government will not operate exclusively.

There is a lot of turmoil in the country. The French and Spaniards don't want to waste too long on the negotiations. The progress of the negotiations is very fast, but they are stuck in the phosphate-related industries.

Relevant companies will definitely not do it. France and Spain tried to divide the negotiation into several stages, first implement the previously negotiated things, and advance the progress of the negotiation, but Morocco vetoed it.

Of course, anyone could see that this was designed for Sean alone, and it must be part of the deal between the two parties.

Now that the United States has jumped out to host the negotiations, and the military bases have been established, as the winner, Sean has reason to get a piece of meat.

Sean released the news in private, and if they want to implement it, they will implement it together. If Faxi's phosphate industry company wants to drag everyone into the water, then Sean doesn't care.

Anyway, if I can't give you what I want, then don't try to negotiate this matter!

Those stakeholders had no choice but to find trouble with the Frenchman, Sean, who was an American.

Chapter 384: Chaos, Smuggling

This parade was led by people from the French phosphate industry chain, and other people followed suit.

They took the lead because they had the strongest assets, but although the individual assets of the group of people who followed behind were incomparable to theirs, they couldn't hold up to a large number of people!

Total assets far exceed them!

These people are divided into many industries, some are engaged in transportation, some are in warehousing, some are in shipping, some are in customs clearance, some are in the vegetable business, some are in handmade products, and some are in light processing... Not to mention all kinds of things. more industries.

For example, if you are engaged in transportation, you will be involved in car maintenance...

Therefore, they are the main force of the parade and the foundation of this grand parade!

Now, those people are also split.

Sean's instruction to Murray Sheedy was to differentiate first.

The confiscated assets can be selectively returned to them after investigation, but there is no way to talk about this kind of thing together.

After all, confiscation is not just a sentence, it is done with the cooperation of many people in Morocco, even if it is a government department, there must be a division of interests.

Of course, talking one by one is definitely not enough. In the end, Morocco divided 8 industries and negotiated by industry. The French can only keep up.

After the division, there is a union, let the 8 industry people talk to the "mining" people when the negotiation progresses to 90%, this is called dividing a group, wooing a group, and fighting a group!

It is the wisdom of the ancients!

What Mulai Xidi admired was the five-body projection. It's not that the leaders of a dignified country don't understand farts, nor can it be said that they have no vision, it can only be said that they have limitations.

Although they are in high positions, the environment they live in is really limited, and their position in the world is lower. So, even if the range they can see is far away, the width is not enough.

Every time the Moroccans go to the negotiating table, they are at an absolute disadvantage. This is the first time that they are so confident that they set the tone for the whole negotiation before going to the negotiating table.

The feeling is just one word, cool! !

What are golden thighs? In the eyes of Moroccans, Sean is golden thighs, pure gold.

In contrast, Sean is a 'demon' in the eyes of the French mining company, a demon who wants to eat them in one bite without even spitting out their bones.

Now, businessmen in other industries in France are putting pressure on them, government departments are putting pressure on them in order to calm the impact of this incident as soon as possible, and even the military is putting pressure on them.

After a confrontation exercise at sea, both the French and Spanish militaries recognized the combat effectiveness of the umbrella company, so even if they knew that the two parties would not really clash, they still had to enter a state of combat readiness and become completely nervous.

It's like the confrontation between Rabbit and Yingjiang on the southeast coast, it's like buying Red Flag soldiers while shouting slogans...

……

(PS: Don't think about it, it's really a plot push, without any metaphors, thank you!)

In Geneva, in a large suite of a five-star hotel, a dozen men with serious faces gathered in the room, which was filled with smoke.

Representatives of 3 fertilizer processing plants, 5 ore selection companies, and 4 mining companies.

The situation has changed completely beyond the expectations of the French.

The door of the bedroom inside was pushed open, and a man walked in, frowned at the smoky air but said nothing, he didn't care about these things now.

"I brought you here today for a discussion. There is a lot of pressure on us from all aspects. You know, everyone wants us to focus on the overall situation, so we need to talk to that gentleman."

Here, Sean's name is replaced by 'that', no one wants to mention this name, to make trouble.

"Fucking the overall situation!" A director of a mining company cursed viciously: "Damn it, this group of bastards, they only know to surrender, surrender!"

A Frenchman scolded another group of Frenchmen for surrendering too quickly, huh.

"Talk to that guy." A group of people said in a hurry.

"What is there to talk about, that guy has such a big appetite, and he can still give up the most meat."

"That needs to be discussed, and as soon as possible, we are in big trouble!" The man who finally walked in and called Henry said coldly.

He was a shareholder in the Edwin Mining Company, the richest and highest ranking of all the people here.

"Trouble, what's the trouble? Our property in Morocco has been swallowed up by people, so what's the trouble?" One person asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's a big trouble. Maybe our industry in France will be damaged." Henry sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his face, "It's unlucky, I never thought we would be so unlucky, Now it’s not just a matter of Morocco’s industry, we’ve been taken advantage of!!”

"What's going on, tell me clearly!" The others looked at each other and asked eagerly.

"I just got a call that someone attacked our mines and factories in Morocco, they used rocket launchers, and they fired a dozen rounds."

"Ah??" Everyone in the room looked dumbfounded, with extremely weird expressions. What is this all about?

"Why would someone attack a factory in Morocco, who is it?"

"Isn't the factory eaten by that person, why does it still make us suffer?"

"Does anyone think we attacked our factory?"

"Yes, that's it." Henry shook his head with a wry smile, and pointed to everyone present, "Some evidence left at the scene is aimed at us. Persecuted, some people took revenge in a fit of rage."

"Uh..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. To be honest, they really had this kind of thought. If they hadn't rationally told them that that guy was cruel and merciless, they would definitely take revenge if they were replaced by Moroccans.

"Okay, don't look at it, it wasn't our people who did it, it was someone else, they didn't want the peace talks to end so quickly." Henry said.

"No, what's going on? Why do I feel that the factory was robbed and I'm an outsider in this matter. Nothing has anything to do with me. I can't understand anything?" One person asked irritably, the other Everyone also looked at Henry.

Some people don't want the peace talks to succeed.

Those who lost hope that the negotiations will be concluded as soon as possible and that they will get back even some of their assets in Morocco.

The government also hopes that the matter will end as soon as possible. There is a lot of pressure on public security and society. The people are very dissatisfied with the sharp increase in the prices of seasonal vegetables and fruits. This term of the government is under a lot of pressure.

The military also hopes to end as soon as possible and return to normal conditions.

Even they want this shit to end, and they believe the Moroccans don't want it anymore, so who doesn't want it to end?

"I just got a set of data, and you will understand as soon as I tell you that since the complete cessation of commercial exchanges, the prices of seasonal fruits and vegetables in the southern region have increased by an average of three times, and at the peak they have increased by five times, and the consumption has increased year-on-year 20%."

"Wait, I can understand that you said that the price has increased, but why has the consumption increased so much?" One was confused.

"Because the price of things has risen, everyone, all the people know that there is a shortage of fruits and vegetables, and people will rush to buy them as soon as they are available in the market. Everyone thinks that eating fruits and vegetables at this time is more fashionable, more precious, and it can better reflect their living standards and show off. Worth."

"Quickly, those children who don't like to eat vegetables on weekdays have started to eat them, understand!" Henry said with a depressed face: "Plus the transportation channels are not smooth, and the rate of rot and damage on the road has increased, so the consumption is higher than that of vegetables." Higher than normal."

"But, damn it, what does this have to do with us?" Everyone looked at Henry with puzzled faces.

"It's huge!" Henry's expression changed from anger to helplessness, from pain to decadence, and finally heaved a heavy sigh, "Do you know how many people there are in the south of France?"

Crowd: ? ? ?

If it weren't for Henry's status being the highest at the scene, everyone would have jumped up and beat Henry up hard. They hate it most when someone talks upside down.

"Don't look at me like that, and I don't want to, but it's complicated, understand!" Before everyone could answer, Henry continued: "Last year's census showed that there were 5730 million people in France, and 2400 million people lived in southern France. .”

"It is well known that the main source of supply of vegetables for these people's daily consumption is Morocco."

France has plains and is rich in wheat, which is exported to Morocco in large quantities. However, France does not produce vegetables, and local vegetables are very expensive.

The reason is that wheat can be mechanized on a large scale, and one person can manage hundreds of acres, keeping the price of grain very low, but growing vegetables cannot!

There is no way to drive a tractor into the vegetable field to harvest cucumbers, not tomatoes!

Fruits are not good either, you can't cut down the fruit tree and suck all the fruits at once!

It takes a long time for vegetables to be picked until they are completely finished. They can be picked every day. This work can only be done manually, which requires a large number of people. 50% of Morocco's population is engaged in agricultural-related work.

Artificial labor occupies a particularly large part of the production cost of vegetables and fruits. Therefore, vegetables and fruits in developed countries or regions have always been more expensive than cattle.

The poorer the place, the cheaper the vegetables and fruits.

So we will find that the places where vegetables and fruits are exported have always been economically backward areas.

I heard Henry say: "Have you calculated how many vegetables are consumed in southern France every day? We don't mention fruits, but vegetables."

Everyone shook their heads. They were in the business of fertilizers, and no one cared about it.

"Let me tell you, 2400 million people, based on the calculation of 250 grams per day for everyone, then consume 6000 tons per day, and this is not counting waste."

"So, now that the two sides have stopped trade, where do the fruits and vegetables needed in the southern region come from?" Henry spread his hands helplessly, "This is fruits and vegetables, and these things are not bread, not cars, and they can't be transferred from anywhere Seasonal fruits and vegetables from the source of goods need to grow, they need time, and even the transportation time is fixed, they will not be fresh after a long time, and the price difference is several times, so it is impossible for us to change the origin of the source of supply.”

Several people shook their heads again. At this time, everyone's expressions became serious, and there was a vague bad feeling in their hearts.

"Calculation, 6000 tons, do you know how much the extra double profit is? According to this figure, it is 2 million. In fact, the figure I got is that the daily consumption is more than 1200 tons, and this industry chain earns 7000 more per day. Ten thousand!"

"Including fruits, the total is no less than 2000 million!"

"It's every day, my friends, do you know that this frankly earns faster than pan-drugs, after all, not everyone eats poisons, but vegetables and fruits are different!"

"And how did these vegetables and fruits enter the southern region of France when commercial activities were completely suspended?"

"Smuggling!" One person subconsciously said.

"Yes, smuggling!" Henry nodded, "A large number of people are now smuggling fruits and vegetables in the Mediterranean, but we all know that the French military has deployed a lot of troops in the Mediterranean, especially during this time when the military has entered a state of high tension. , but in this state, how did those damn ships transporting vegetables and fruits pass through the naval defense line?"

"Is it because those smuggling ships with a loading capacity of hundreds of tons or thousands of tons are invisible, so the navy's various radars can't find them?"

"No, it's because the profit is too huge, and many people make a fortune in this new industrial chain."

"From the military to the docks, from customs to the police, from government officials to the mafia, there is a huge and complex industrial chain, and more than 10 people die every day because of the struggle of this industrial chain!"
