Chapter 90: The Return of Guinea
Zhao Nan's affairs in China went very smoothly, and the preliminary cooperation framework was reached in two days, because before the Guinea bidding meeting began, they had to go to Guinea to conduct some preliminary negotiations with the government, she asked Zhang Zijian to return to China to take charge of the rest of the matters, and she immediately returned to Somalia.
On the same day, a Gulfstream salesman came over with a picture book and a tablet.
Xiao Yang only has requirements for the performance of the aircraft, and does not pay much attention to other aspects, and it is determined after a little look at the appearance, but the situation is a little different from what Little Ivan said, that is, this aircraft is not G650, but the latest model of G650se, the appearance is no different from G650, the only difference is that changes have been made to the wings, which can store more fuel than G650, and the range has increased by 500 nautical miles.
As for what he said about changing to an independent air pressure tank, he knew that it was not realistic after seeing the pictures of the plane.
Unlike the transport aircraft he knew the most, the wings were on the belly of the aircraft, not above, which led to the fact that even with weapons such as cannons or multiple machine guns, the firing angle was too small to make an effective attack.
"Alright, so be it, preferably within a month." Sign the contract, transfer the money, and the plane is settled.
The salesman was probably a little afraid of Somalia here, and he had been a little uneasy, but when the matter was settled, Xiao Yang had no intention of keeping him, so he immediately asked people to send him away.
Seeing him leave was relieved, he also sighed that the Gulfstream salesman was also quite dedicated, due to the blind reports of the media in various countries, Somalia is not a good place, and this salesman dared to run over alone, which is already quite good.
However, he is not at a loss, and he can be sure that Xiao Yang's order this time must be at least one million US dollars in commission.
Considering that Zhao Nan must be very tired from flying around for a while, Xiao Yang decided to rest for two days and go to Guinea again.
Oliveira also went to China this time, knowing that he had obtained the iron ore rights in Guinea, and found Xiao Yang as soon as he came back, "Xiao, you are too powerful, I think my choice is the most correct." ”
Seeing that he was in good spirits, Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Are you showing off your vision?" ”
"Haha...... That's right, I'm showing off. Oliveira definitely didn't know what it meant to be subtle, and he looked proud.
After a few ramblings, Oliveira said to Xiao Yang seriously: "Xiao, security is a big problem in Africa, so you have to think of a way in this regard, if possible, it is better to simply set up a security company, in the future we have more mines, it is impossible to use other people, this is too unsafe, you must know that the year before last there was an employee killing a supervisor in a mining area under Vale, just for less than three kilograms of gold." ”
Xiao Yang has also heard of what he said, and similar things are not uncommon in Africa, but he has not considered such a way to set up a security company for himself, "Is this necessary?" ”
Oliveira nodded very seriously, "I know that mercenaries can be hired, but in this way, the labor cost is very high, a large mining area, without a hundred people armed at all, can not be satisfied, all use mercenaries, that is a lot of expenses, and ordinary security personnel ...... You should know what the situation is. ”
In Africa, there is a surplus of security companies, especially where foreign-funded enterprises are located, and local or Europeans and Americans who have a little way to do so will always set up large and small security companies, and they recruit security personnel regardless of whether the other party has a record of violating the law, as long as they can shoot and reach their age.
As a result, the quality of security personnel is uneven, resulting in killing employers, or colluding inside and outside to rob employers, or selling various information about employers, etc., these things emerge in an endless stream, once Guinean iron ore is officially mined, it undoubtedly touches the interests of countless European and American mining companies, and for these mining companies, you can't expect them to behave properly, and security issues are really worth paying attention to.
"I see." After some analysis, Xiao Yang also felt that Oliveira's consideration was correct, there are many professional defense companies, but the cost is not low, and the commission paid for a few years can fully support him to establish a security team by himself, it is estimated that he will develop here in this life, and it is necessary to make an armed force of his own.
After all, they are different from ordinary enterprises, which choose to hand over security to defense companies, because they do not have the ability to build their own security systems, and this problem is not a problem for them at all.
"I'll think about it first and tell you the answer in a few days."
On his own company's side, his own security personnel are necessary, and in the evening, Xiao Yang called everyone together again and talked about the security company.
The mining company is nominally independent, but since the two existing mines are owned by the company, Oman and others also have the right to decide on the relevant meetings and affairs of the mining company, but they do not participate in the daily work.
"The mining company said it needed its own security personnel, and I thought about it today and thought it was necessary, what do you think?"
Among all of them, Oman is the most sensitive to numbers, after Xiao Yang's words, he immediately calculated an account for everyone, "Ordinary security three hundred to five hundred dollars a month, it is cheap, but they are also used to scare the little thieves and manage the miners, professional security companies, at least more than two thousand dollars, according to the calculation of a hundred people, we have to pay more than two million dollars a year, this money is indeed enough for us to set up our own security team." ”
Of course, the benefits are not only what he said, but mainly in terms of trust, as long as it is managed properly, let alone killing, just like the "al-Qaeda" and "Taliban" organizations, it is okay to ask them to commit suicide, which is completely different from hiring a security company.
"It's good to have a private arm." Little Ivan's family is also a security company, but he has never taken over any business from the outside world, in fact, he is a private soldier, and as soon as Aman finished speaking, he said with a smile.
For this kind of second-generation fallacy, Xiao Yang and they have long been accustomed to it, so they didn't hear it, but Xuanyuan Zhan was a little interested, "Okay, I'll train them when it's okay, they used to be miserable in Israel and Venezuela, and this time I also have a good addiction to training others." ”
Xiao Yang couldn't laugh or cry at his words.
Whether it's Israel or Venezuela, they're trained as special forces, and if you put those items on the security personnel, then Africa has one more special forces team.
"We don't have a high regime, so why use that for a security company."
"Hehe...... Xuanyuan laughed, "The basic project is suitable, I haven't abused a soldier for a long time." ”
Xiao Yang could only retreat speechlessly.
Several people talked for a while, but they didn't mean to object, so the matter was settled.
It was still based on the security department established in Oman, and he was separated and a new security company was registered.
"It's definitely not possible to register in Somaliland, after all, there are still some countries that don't recognize them, so it's better to register in Somalia, and I'll deal with it in a few days, but what about the manpower? Is it here, or is it going to Guinea to recruit again? ”
This is another problem, the iron mine needs the most manpower, all sent by Somalia, it must be a little unrealistic, Xiao Yang thought about it for a while, and said: "Recruit a part here, and then you arrange another person to go to Guinea with me this time, and set up a branch first, anyway, the project is still in the preparation stage, and when the construction starts, the appropriate personnel are basically trained." ”
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Two days later, Xiao Yang and they went to Guinea, unlike last time, this time there were Zhao Nan, Oliveira and other staff, as well as Zhang Zhi and others, so they definitely couldn't take a transport plane again, so before leaving, Xiao Yang told Matt to rent a plane from Somalia Airlines.
After Xiao Yang arranged for Zhao Nan and others to meet with relevant government officials, he took Zhang Zhi and others to a military camp on the outskirts of Conakry.
"This is a new camp that was set up just a few days ago, and there are a hundred soldiers, selected from various teams...... "An officer next to Arya and Xiao Yang explained the situation of the barracks.
Xiao Yang knew the combat effectiveness of these soldiers, and didn't say anything, just signaled Zhang Zhi to listen carefully, and walked around the barracks, he really felt a little miserable, there were no strong defensive fortifications, the soldiers' vigilance was not enough, and the equipment in their hands was pitiful.
Obviously, Zhang Zhi also found out about this situation, and while someone was talking to Al Ya, he quietly said to Xiao Yang: "It's more difficult than I imagined, I just took a look, and some of the guns in their hands are almost smoothed out......"
This situation is incredible for Zhang Zhi, but in Xiao Yang's eyes, it is the most normal, considering Hu Zhiyun's relationship and his need for Al Ya, he said: "You just follow the domestic market, don't worry about the rest, that Mr. President will definitely find a way." ”
"Oh."
Zhang Zhi's speed was obviously fast, and three days later, Xiao Yang received a request from Al Ya: help him get some equipment.
Xiao Yang did not refuse, nor did he agree immediately, but asked him to take the list and look at it.
Body armor, various firearms, night vision devices, thermal imaging ...... There are dozens of kinds, individual soldiers, squad use, Xiao Yang looked at the number, and found that it was only according to thirty people, so he asked Arya, "Are you going to form a team of thirty people?" ”
Knowing what he meant, Arya was a little embarrassed, and after being silent for a long time, he replied, "Our country's capabilities are limited. ”
