Oliver really didn't transfer assets, he just didn't have enough ability, but he was stubborn and couldn't listen to the advice of others, so he would cause heavy losses to the company.

But in Oliver's view, the investment mistake was not due to a problem of ability, but because of the greed of the Africans, so the investment in Lorenzo Marques would be lost.

It should be noted here that most of Oliver's investment in Lorenzo Marques was acquired by Xiao Si at a low price, and it has nothing to do with Roque.

"I don't mean to offend, but a mistake is a mistake, we are a mining company, not a plantation business, so we have to invest our profits in more mines instead of investing in farms overseas – especially if it's a Portuguese farm, do you think the Portuguese can protect your investment? They can't even protect their property. "Robert himself is Afrikan, has Roque's support, and controls the company's security department, so he is not afraid of Oliver at all.

Even though the death of Jean-Casimir Perrier caused a large number of personnel changes in the company, Robert's position was not affected in any way.

"If it weren't for the instigation of Southern Africa behind it, Lorenço Marques would not have broken out in civil war at all." Oliver seemed to be defending himself, but he didn't get to the point.

"No ifs!" Robert's words silenced Oliver.

"Okay, let's go back to the original question, what kind of impact will it have on us if we terminate the contract with Umbrella Company?" Elvis is definitely leaning more towards Oliver.

But at the same time, he didn't dare to offend Roque, the Umbrella Company has thousands of mercenaries in Madagascar alone, not only Casimir Perrier's company, many industrial and mining enterprises employ mercenaries from the Umbrella Company, so the consequences of offending Roque may be serious.

But 140,000 pounds a year really makes Elvis feel distressed, what is the wrong thing to do with so much money, why bother to cheap the mercenaries of the umbrella company for nothing.

3,500,000 francs is not a small number, and the French Impressionist painter Manet's "Lunch on the Grass" sold for 3,000 francs the year before.

"If the contract with the umbrella company is terminated, then it means that our mine will lose the protection of professional mercenaries-"

"Our company now has 2,400 mercenaries, and the annual cost is less than 1.5 million francs, and the Umbrella Company only sends less than 600 people to our company, but we have to pay 3.5 million to the Umbrella Company every year, can't we use this money to expand the scale of our own mercenaries?" As soon as Robert spoke, he was rudely interrupted by Oliver.

"The combat effectiveness of mercenaries is not determined by numbers—" Robert was accustomed to Oliver's rudeness, and was still slow and unarrogant.

"It's ridiculous!" Oliver is still clamoring, Oliver really doesn't know about the mercenary industry.

The crux of the matter is that Oliver thinks he understands it, and that's the most ridiculous.

"Shut up!" Elvis couldn't stand Oliver's hubris either.

"If we lose the protection of the umbrella company, then I don't think the existing security personnel can ensure the smooth operation of the mine, on the contrary, it is because of the existence of the umbrella company that our security personnel can work honestly, if we lose the deterrent power of the umbrella company, it will bring us irreparable losses." Robert's attitude is resolute, the local security personnel hired by Casimir Perrière's company are all Malagasy people, if there is no deterrent power of the umbrella company, these Malagasy people will probably rebel first, and the most damaged will be the Perrière family, although Roque's interests will inevitably be lost, but the shares in Casimir Perrier's company are only an insignificant part of all Roque's assets.

For the Perrière family, Casimir Perrière's company is the lifeblood.

"If we break the contract with the Umbrella Company, will the Lord be angry?" Casimir Perrier's financial director, Elvis' youngest son, Ellis, chimed in.

Nominally, Ellis is also a top student majoring in mathematics at the University of Paris, but in fact this guy is also a fool, and the Umbrella Company is Roque's industry, if Casimir Perrier's company terminates the contract with the Umbrella Company, will Roque be angry?

Think with your toes to know the answer to the question.

"It is not realistic to terminate the contract, but the total amount of the contract must be reduced, 3.5 million francs a year is too much, and we spend an average of almost 6,000 francs on each mercenary, which is not in the interests of Casimir Perrière." Elvis still didn't dare to break with Roque, but this decision was also a test of Roque's bottom line, if Roque didn't care, then Elvis would take further action next.

Six thousand francs sounds like a lot, but in fact it is not much, the exchange rate between the pound and the franc is about 1:25, and the exchange rate of six thousand francs is 240 pounds.

The mercenaries stationed overseas by the umbrella company also receive overseas allowances on the basis of the basic salary, and the salary has reached about 200 pounds per year, which means that Roque has a stake in Casimir Perrier's company, so the umbrella company will only charge 240 pounds, and other companies in Madagascar will hire mercenaries from the umbrella company, and the cost of each person will be at least 300 pounds per year, and if the work is more dangerous and the work place is more remote, it will even reach 500 pounds per year.

"Six thousand francs a year is not much, and the salaries of the French staff employed by our company in the past two years have been more than ten thousand francs, and the mercenaries are definitely worth the money compared to those who are not educated and unskilled." Robert has actually had a long-standing grudge.

After the death of Jean Casimir Perrier, with the addition of the Elvis family, the management of Casimir Perrière's company has changed a lot in the past two years, Elvis and Ellis are not too much, and Oliver is using the right of general manager to stuff a lot of fox friends into Casimir Perrier's company.

These fox friends are actually vampires, and they have filled their own pockets, and the entire Casimir Perrière company has become a miasma, and many old employees of the Jean Casimir Perrière era have left one after another because they can't bear it.

Although Robert was unbearable, he had to make a false deal with Oliver because of his duty.

"Who doesn't learn to ignore? Make it clear! "Oliver's angry look is really ugly.

"Alright, Robert, find a time to talk to Mr. Jonathan of Umbrella Corporation." Elvis was determined to gradually wean himself off Roque's influence on Casimir Perrier's company.

Jonathan is the same incognito Captain Jacob.

After arriving in Madagascar, Robert and Captain Mars, who goes by the pseudonym Todd, joined Casimir Perrier, while Jonathan went to Umbrella and is now the head of Umbrella's Madagascar branch.

Back in his office, Robert immediately sent a telegram to Jonathan.

Miraculously, the headquarters of the Umbrella company in Madagascar is not on the island of Madagascar, but on the island of Mayotte in the Comoros archipelago.

Mayotte covers an area of 374 square kilometers, and in 1843, Mayotte became a French colony, after which hundreds of French immigrants came to Mayotte and became residents of Mayotte.

But a hurricane ten years ago almost destroyed the only port town on Mayotte, and after the French left the island, Mayotte became almost an uninhabited island.

Although Mayotte was abandoned, Mayotte's geographical location was very important, and there was a natural harbor on the island, so it was purchased by the Umbrella Company for 150,000 francs and became the headquarters of the Umbrella Company in Madagascar.

Mayotte, which was also the Umbrella Company's largest overseas asset before buying Port Elizabeth, now has a mercenary training base on the island, and the Gurkha mercenaries hired from Nepal in southern Africa will be trained in Mayotte for a period of time before going to southern Africa in batches.

The island's only port has also been renovated, with an 800-meter-long wharf that can accommodate 10,000-ton ships, and there are now more than 6,000 residents on the island, almost all of whom are family members of Umbrella Company employees.

Before Jonathan received the telegram, he sent a telegram to Fort Eagle as soon as possible.

"Hehe, the people of the Perrière family really can't wait-" Roque was really not angry, on the contrary, Roque was still a little happy, if the Perrière family had always been informed, then Roque was really embarrassed to turn his face directly.

Now there is no need to scruple, since the Perrière family is trying to reduce Roque's influence in Casimir Perrier's company, then Roque does not mind easily removing the power of the Perrière family from Casimir Perrier's company, which is not difficult for Roque, and he doesn't even need to bother with Roque.

Zack opened his mouth and laughed silently, the black hole mouth was intimidating, Zack was very good at this kind of thing, everything that was inconvenient for Roque to operate by himself, was handled by Zack.

Soon, at Casimir Perrier's request, Umbrella and Casimir Perrier re-signed an employment contract.

Under the terms of the contract, the Umbrella Company was to send 150 mercenaries to Casimir Perrière, for which Casimir Perrière paid 1.5 million francs per year.

It seems that Casimir Perrière is spending less money, but the cost is rising, and Casimir Perrier no longer has a cost advantage compared to other companies in Madagascar.

The effects were immediate, and at the end of May, Casimir Perrière's company rioted at a mine in Ankailica, in the mountains northwest of Madagascar, where security guards and miners colluded to kill the mine's managers and blow up the entire mine, before all the miners dispersed.

That's when Elvis and Oliver realized the importance of Umbrella Inc.

It's just a pity that it's too late.
