989 Some countries abolish the army and hand over national defense to mercenaries (1/5)
"What's the fake about this? Anyway, it's useless to just put money there to generate interest. What's more, I'll lend it to you for nothing, I feel uncomfortable, what about the interest, the current interest rate is too high, the early construction period is too long, and the interest pressure is too great. Xie Kai said calmly.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Tan Lin told Lao Fang their plan word by word.
Xie Kai also has no way.
As he said, he just lent the money to the old party and them, and there was no interest, and he was unhappy.
At the very least, you have to leave an inheritance for your descendants, right?
He is not interested in domestic mines or anything, and foreign ones are at least much cheaper, aren't they?
"That's great. ”
"But I have a request, that is, I only pay money and dividends, and I will not participate in the management, and at the same time, I will not say that I am a shareholder of the company. Xie Kai made a clear request to the few people with smiles on their faces.
Several people knew about him, not to mention that they were also the same as Xie Kai, no one would be a legal person.
"In addition, don't just focus on gold mines, we also participate in all kinds of high-grade precious metal ores abroad, especially diamond mines or something, that thing is very useful in the industrial field. Xie Kai said some of his thoughts.
Anyway, there are many mines in Tanzania, so it is naturally not a problem to win a few large mines.
Tan Lin and the others naturally understand that they have always been hindered by the limited funds in their hands, so they have to only engage in gold mines.
"As long as we can get loans, we can pull some smelters and steel mills to Africa, so that we can directly export steel to neighboring countries, which is not only cheaper and more competitive, but also has a lot of profits." Tan Lin looked at Xie Kai and said with a look of hope.
Xie Kai shook his head directly, "If you want to invest over there, there's no problem, but they make their own money." ”
He didn't have the heart to help other companies get loans.
It is not yet known how Kovarubi's side will solve it.
The investment of 500 million US dollars is not in place all at once, and in the early stage, it is just necessary to set up a transportation company, first place an order for Hudong Shipyard, and order a 100,000-ton ore carrier.
A mineral ship is not expensive, not even as expensive as a Y-10, less than $30 million.
As for the company's shares, Xie Kai takes 40%, and Liao Dong and Tan Lin each hold 30%, so that no one on both sides has any complaints.
resource integration, which will make them more competitive in Africa.
The previous business of each company has nothing to do with the new company, but it can be cooperated.
"You asked me to communicate these things to them?" I ......" Mo Qi didn't expect that Xie Kai would finally put her in charge of this matter.
Xie Kai nodded, "Aren't you studying management? In the future, it is estimated that there will be less time to go out. ”
The reason why he is willing to invest is because he doesn't want Mo Qi to put all his thoughts on himself every day and lose himself as a result.
"Isn't there more and more going on in Africa?" asked Mozzi, puzzled.
"Just because there are more and more, it is even more impossible for us to run around the world like before, and Lao Zheng and they won't be at ease, right?" Xie Kai sighed.
Now the situation is very good, the situation is very good, so naturally there is no need to keep running outside, right?
Mozzi didn't speak again, but fell silent.
Xie Kai is also not easy to say anything, after all, if he talks too much, Mo Qi will think that he is driving her away.
"Tan Lin, are they looking for you?" When Xie Kai went back, it was night again.
Zheng Yucheng waited for him.
Since Zheng Quan is here, it is impossible for Zheng Yucheng and them not to receive the news.
Therefore, there is no concealment.
"That's not bad, it's useless to put the money there anyway, it's better to turn it into an industry, and you yourself are usually reluctant to spend it. Zheng Yucheng did not object to Xie Kai engaging in his own industry at all, "But you still have to weigh it yourself, don't expose yourself, you also know that now the intelligence departments of various countries are collecting information about you." ”
Xie Kai nodded again.
"Kovarrubi is here to talk to you. ”
"No time, that old guy is too much, what are you doing when you see him?" Xie Kai immediately refused.
Originally, I just asked me to help buy weapons and equipment and provide them to the river crab mercenary group, but it turned out to be a good thing, and something like this happened.
"You don't have to worry over there, the Burundi government has put forward a purchase list, and Tanzania's purchase order is also ......," Zheng Yucheng knew what Xie Kai was angry about.
But now, not cooperating and falling out with Tanzania is not a good thing for both parties.
It will even affect the various policies that the entire 404 receives.
Some military leaders knew about the existence of the mercenary group, but others didn't.
Once the matter becomes big, let alone international public opinion, such a thing will not be allowed in China alone.
"The Burundian government?
Didn't the Burundian government outsource a lot of defence contracts to the river crab mercenary group?
Such a poor country still has to buy weapons and equipment.
"I bought it for the mercenary group, doesn't the river crab mercenary group have a base over there? Zheng Yucheng said.
Xie Kai really didn't know about it.
It seems that the Tanzanian government will not be able to stop the mercenary group if it does not agree.
"They pay for it?" "Although I know that it is unlikely, the Burundi government is poor, the whole country is more than 20,000 square kilometers, the economy is not developed, and even in the 21st century, the GDP of the whole country is pitifully low.
It's only two or three hundred dollars per person.
"What do you think? The River Crab Mercenary Group procurement, their Ministry of Defense can come forward, it's already good. Zheng Yucheng rolled his eyes, "But at present, there is only news from there, and the details have not yet been determined." ”
"What's the uncertainty? If they were afraid that the river crab mercenaries would overthrow their regime, they wouldn't agree, would they?"
Was the Government of Burundi forced to agree, or in fact unwilling?
"At present, the Burundian government has the idea of disbanding most of the national defense forces and handing them over to the mercenary group to take charge of external defense, and only the police force to maintain law and order in the country......" Zheng Yucheng's words startled Xie Kai.
Are you kidding?
How bold is it for a country to hand over its entire defense to a mercenary group?
Aren't you afraid of the opposition of the people at home?
Can the River Crab Mercenary Group do this?
Counting the army, air force, and the small number of the Lake Army, the total strength of Burundi must be nearly 30,000 people!
"How could the bastard president of Bagaza do such a thing. Although he had been overthrown by his chief of staff, Pierre Yobua, he was not at ease with the domestic army. If this gets out, then what's the point?"
Xie Kai always felt that this thing was incredible.
It's completely impossible.
At the beginning, the River Crab Mercenary Regiment put down the Burundian rebellion in just a few days, destroying and capturing a large number of tanks, and almost the entire Burundian armored force was swept away.
Later, there was an armored battalion of the mercenary regiment that remained in Burundi.
If you help the mercenary group procure again, can Bagaza, who originally became president after launching a military coup, fall asleep?
All of this is too unreasonable.
"I don't know, there's no further news over there. Zheng Yucheng saw Xie Kai and asked,
Xie Kai frowned, "It can't be that Bagaza's grandson wants the equipment of the Pit River Crab Mercenary Group, right?"
"It's not impossible. Zheng Yucheng said.
Africa, Burundi.
Liao Dong has just come out of President Bagaza's official residence.
"Brother Dong, what does President Bagaza mean? Isn't he afraid of being overthrown by the domestic army again? Luo Feng followed Liao Dong into the car.
He was incredulous about what President Bagaza meant.
Liao Dong also didn't know anything about such a thing, otherwise, he wouldn't have been looking for Bagaza at every turn these days.
"The idea of this goods is indeed intriguing. But we definitely can't get his opinion. Liao Dong shook his head and said, he couldn't figure out what Bagaza meant.
The River Crab Mercenary Regiment now has only a few hundred members, and most of the people trained in it are the guerrillas under Kabila and the Tutsi armed forces under Kagame, and they are not members of the mercenary group.
Hundreds of people simply can't accept such a heavy responsibility.
Burundi has a population of several million, with a peacetime army of nearly 30,000 and an armed police force that does not maintain law and order.
"I can't even get them to help get that gear back. Liao Dong sighed and continued.
At the presidential residence of Bagaza, Bagaza looked at several of his henchmen.
"The mercenaries are reluctant to accept our mission, think about it, what is there to get them to agree, at least superficially?" Bagaza looked at his henchmen with a serious expression.
He really didn't expect that the River Crab Mercenary Group would refuse their mercenary assignment.
"Your Excellency, in the current situation, if we want to involve the mercenary group in our army purge mission, unless those bastards who are hiding behind the scenes rebel......"
"Rebellion? If there is a rebellion, we will have to pay a lot of money to suppress the rebellion!" said a military colonel.
Bagaza nodded, "That's true. The defense contract with them is only to train our army and defend against foreign invasion, who around us will invade us?"
The reason why Bagaza wants to hand over all the defense operations to the River Crab Mercenary Regiment is not really ready to deliver them all, but to use this to purge the entire Burundian army.
As a president who came to power in a rebellion, he was most worried about rebellion.
"Perhaps, we can do it on that batch of weapons of theirs, but what if we don't deliver it to them?"
"This must not be done!" The colonel suddenly stood up excitedly, saw several people staring at him, and hurriedly explained, "The other shareholders behind the River Crab Mercenary Group don't matter, but they have the ...... of the Tanzanian military."
Bagaza looked gloomy.
It is almost impossible to get the river crab mercenary group to help purge the army.
"Then let out the rumors, saying that we are discussing with the River Crab Mercenary Group that the army will be abolished, and the River Crab Mercenary Group will be responsible for national defense ......"
