Chapter 270
"What, diamond mine? How big is it?" Old Man Yang's eyes were instantly straight.
Diamonds at this time were hard currency in the international market, and they could be directly exchanged for US dollars.
He never thought that the other party could mortgage a diamond mine.
"The output is not large. It is said that there are only a few hundred miners working. The specific annual output of carats is not clear at present." Fengyun answered truthfully.
He didn't care about this little thing at all.
Compared with the commissions from reselling arms, these are just drizzle.
However, this is also an opportunity for him to layout Africa, so Brother Fengyun is so concerned about this matter.
If we talk about where in the world is good for developing armed forces, the best answer is undoubtedly the African continent.
On that vast grassland, developing some armed forces is really not something that anyone cares about.
The war there is also continuous every day. A new warlord emerges today, and is driven away by another warlord tomorrow.
"How about it, old man, are you interested in this diamond mine?
If you are not interested, I will buy it all, it won't cost much anyway.
As for the gold and coffee beans, forget it if you don't want them, they are all good things that can be exchanged for US dollars." Fengyun said jokingly.
The old man rolled his eyes at him.
"You kid, you always talk nonsense. How can I give up something that can be exchanged for US dollars?
Tell me, what additional conditions do you have for coming to me?"
The old man knew Fengyun's mentality very well.
If it was just buying steel pipes or fertilizers, sugar, they would have many ways to do it. Why should I introduce this profitable business to him?
"Old man, you really have a keen eye. My little tricks can never escape your eyes." Fengyun flattered.
"Okay, tell me, what are you planning?"
"Old man, Africa has a lot of rich natural resources, but there are a lot of wars there.
I want to develop there, but I don't have enough people around me to protect my own safety, so I want..."
Hearing Fengyun speak so bluntly, the old man glared at him: "So, you are interested in the old man's soldiers?"
"Old man, there is no one more holy than you. Our soldiers are so good, with high combat quality and strong discipline." Brother Fengyun began to flatter.
Mr. Yang pondered for a while, then said: "Boy, you have to know that the upper echelons will not agree to this kind of thing happening, which is not conducive to our diplomatic image."
"Come on, old man, what do some veterans have to do with the image of the country?
Veterans, if they don't have a job, they are vagrants. You are at most a labor export.
Is there a problem with our Hongxing Group hiring these vagrants to guard our homes?"
Although Fengyun's words made sense to the old man, this matter was not the same as in Hong Kong Island.
Because Hong Kong Island will eventually return, and Africa is another matter.
"Feng boy, I can't give you an answer to this matter now. Give me three days, I want to report the matter to the upper echelons." The old man said solemnly.
"By the way, old man, let me say something in private. When you report to the higher-ups, you can mention that Africa's rich natural resources are in great need of international friends to help them develop together.
If you don't want to be this international friend, other countries will be very happy to act as this international friend.
Besides, are retired soldiers no longer soldiers? Can't they continue to serve the country after taking off their military uniforms?" Brother Fengyun added another big code.
"You kid, you can really talk a lot. Okay, I know what you mean, and I will report this matter to the higher-ups."
"Old man, then I'll wait for your good news. These few days, I'll go around the capital first. When you have news, reply to me immediately. If things can't be done, I can also look for the next party."
Longguo Elders' House.
Old man Yang explained his views to the elders.
As for the decision-making, it depends on these big guys.
For a time, the big guys had different opinions.
Some are firmly opposed, some are in favor, and some are neutral.
Those who are against it have a clear position. Longguo is still in the early stages of economic development. If it rashly intervenes in the affairs of other countries, will it cause adverse international impact?
Those who agree also have sufficient reasons. As a responsible major country in the world, what's wrong with us helping our international friends?
Similarly, if the other party gives us a little bit of minerals in return, it will notIs it a matter of course?
How can this involve international influence?
Besides, the people who went to Africa were not active soldiers, but retired soldiers. Strictly speaking, they were a group of unemployed vagrants who were employed by third parties in the form of cross-border labor. It had nothing to do with politics. It was just some normal business behavior.
The meeting argued for two days and two nights.
Finally, the elder made the decision directly.
"Longguo must develop itself and take care of African brothers. Cooperation is a win-win situation. There is nothing that cannot be done for such mutually beneficial things.
Besides, it is just a defensive mission and will not take the initiative to attack..."
And Brother Fengyun, who had nothing to do these two days, ran to the Warwick headquarters again.
"Hello, Chairman." This time, the front desk lady recognized Fengyun at a glance.
Fengyun pointed at his nose and said in disbelief: "You call me chairman, how come I don't know I have this position?"
The little sister smiled sweetly and said: "Since the last time you came, President Ren held an internal meeting to confirm your identity as chairman and he will be the general manager."
Fengyun laughed and scolded: "This old Ren, why is he doing this."
Brother Fengyun just wants to quietly control the shares behind the scenes and does not want to step into the front.
With the continuous expansion of Huawei Company, if Fengyun is the chairman, it will cause a lot of trouble.
"Okay, is your President Ren here now? I just need to find him for something."
"Chairman, I'm sorry, President Ren went out to discuss business and is expected to be back in three to five days."
Fengyun compared his schedule and realized that he could not stay here for three to five days.
Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway.
"I have limited time this time, and I may not be able to wait for your CEO Ren to come back. Please tell him a few words for me."
"Please tell me, Chairman." The young lady has already picked up the pen and notebook skillfully.
"For the first point, he should be the chairman, and don't give me any position. I am just an investor, and there is no need to do these empty things.
For the second point, I think Warwick's business should not be limited to programmable switches, but also try to innovate in other fields, such as microelectronics, chips..."
