Chapter 369 [What mine?]

"What mine?"

Chen Xiaolian suddenly stepped on the brakes and the car stopped on the side of the road.

Lin Leyan's exclamation came from behind the car. Chen Xiaolian opened the window between the cab and the rear compartment and whispered: "Nothing went wrong, I just need to figure it out first. I need to stop here."

Lin Leyan's face appeared from behind the window, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, I'll let everyone get out of the car and take a rest?"

This smart girl Lin probably realized that Chen Xiaolian might have something to talk to Wuna alone.

"No." Chen Xiaolian thought for a while: "You are in the car, let's get off."

Wu Na naturally had no capital to resist in Chen Xiaolian's hands. She was taken out of the car by Chen Xiaolian and walked to the bushes by the roadside.

The woman's face was obviously a little panicked, looking around... In this kind of African night, she would kill someone and not even have to bury her body. Naturally, wild beasts would come over when they smelled the smell of blood.

"Don't, don't kill me..." Una was about to collapse and screamed.

Chen Xiaolian looked at it and frowned: "I don't plan to kill you here, so please put away your screams."

Una bit her lip hard.

"Now you have a chance to speak. You'd better explain to me the most straightforward, frankest and simplest description. If you try to hide or hide anything, then I promise you will die and you will die immediately."

Chen Xiaolian said, looking at the watch: "You have ten minutes."

Una's body shook.

She could see that Chen Xiaolian was definitely not joking this time.

He is very serious.

...

Zaid took over the coup in Kmubiya. Before and after he took office, Kmubiya was a very poor African country for most of the time.

There is no mineral resources, a lack of population, and a lack of sufficient land depth... It can be said that from any conditions, Kemubiya is a typical small country.

The only thing that can be developed is perhaps just to rely on geographic areas to do some trade, or to develop agriculture, animal husbandry, etc.

However, for warlords like Zeid, they obviously have no interest in doing agriculture or animal husbandry. The investment is large, the cycle is long, and the returns are not necessarily large.

What's more, there are various tribes of all sizes in Kemubiya, and the relationships between them are also complicated.

The most important thing is that Western powers are not interested in coming far away to invest in agriculture or animal husbandry in such places.

What Zaid has always hoped for is minerals.

Other Central African countries around have minerals, and they all rely on minerals to drive their economies. At least the head of state can take the opportunity to make a fortune, and Zeid naturally made this idea.

In the first few years of taking office, Zeid once fought with several Western countries.

To be clear, he just wants to sell the country, find minerals in China, and then sell the benefits to foreign forces, as long as he earns benefits himself.

However, after the arduous survey, the fact that Zeid was helpless was: he couldn't even sell it if he wanted to sell it.

There is no way to sell the country!

Several Western mining groups have visited the survey and have not found any veins worth mining in Kemubiya. Nothing is found in copper, iron and gold, rare metals, non-ferrous metals.

It seems like Kemubiya is a place that has been abandoned by God.

The Creator left nothing valuable to this land.

Zaid, who has lost his value in use, will naturally no longer be valued by those mining groups.

The downside is that he can't make a lot of money for himself.

The advantage is that he cannot enter the sight of Western countries. Even if he is a dictator or a tyrant here, he will be angry and resentful, no international force will pay attention to him.

Let me put it this way. The United States killed Saddam for oil. If there was no oil, no matter how dictatorial or cruel Saddam was, the United States would not have gone to Iraq to claim justice.

This is the case with Zeid. He is very happy to be a dictator in a poor country. At least no one will come to justice.

But this situation was broken about four years ago.

According to Una, a group of people came to Kemubiya about four years ago.

The group of people and wealthy people found Zaid and expressed their intention to survey mineral resources in Kemubiya.

Zaid has long been numb to this kind of thing. Several Western powers have completely sorted out the national geography of Kemubia like a comb, but found nothing.

Zaid had no intention of refusing to such a sucker who came to his door. Anyway, he could just survey it, just give it money.

The two parties signed a confidentiality agreement, and the other party paid Zeid several million US dollars, and stated in the agreement that if the mineral is found, the other party has 5 years of mining rights. Zeid can get a sum of money from the mineral income, and it was agreed that it would be 10 million US dollars a year.

Zeid didn't care about how to sign the conditions. What he cared about was the millions of dollars he got. In his opinion, the other party was a sucker.

But unexpectedly, this sucker succeeded!

It actually succeeded?!

...

"Think about it now, that thing is very strange."

Una's tone was very complicated: "At that time, the surveyors were sent by the other party. The survey team was very simple and didn't even carry much equipment. I was also in the survey team at that time. I was just accompanying my father as my father's representative to monitor and ensure my father's interests. And most importantly, this is actually a bad guy. My father just asked me to follow him and see, maybe I can get some benefits from these suckers."

Chen Xiaolian didn't say anything.

Una continued: "In my opinion, those surveyors do not look like surveyors. They don't look like people who work in the wild all year round, they look more like professional soldiers. This is nothing, because the Western mining groups we have come into contact with over the years have government backgrounds behind them, and the guards of those mining groups are basically professional mercenaries, or even their own army. However, things are still very strange."

Speaking of this, Una paused, understood carefully, and carefully considered her words. She said slowly: "They... don't seem to be looking for a mine, but looking for a suitable terrain."

"Hmm? What does this mean?" Chen Xiaolian asked.

Wuna thought for a while and said slowly: "Mine search is a very professional job, and it requires professional people and professional surveying equipment, and then screening them one by one according to the special geographical environment, and finally, there may be mineral areas for surveying... But these people seem strange. How to say... they give me a feeling. It's very casual."

"random?"

“Yes, they felt like traveling, and they took the team Mankmubiya around, looking at the mountains, rivers, and geography, but rarely stopped for surveys.

And the weirdest thing is that in the end, we came to a mountain not far from the southern border. These people looked at the mountain, then pointed and said, "It's this."

Una said while recalling: "I feel...it seems like they were completely satisfied with the terrain of the mountain at that time."

Chen Xiaolian's eyes lit up: "What's the result? The mine is really in the mountains?"

Una smiled bitterly: "I also think these people are just making trouble, but we soon found a mineral vein in the mountains. This fact shocked my people."

She lowered her voice: "Actually, we have surveyed this mountain before, there is nothing there. Two Western mining groups have surveyed there, but nothing was found.

But these guys found the ore veins there."

Chen Xiaolian nodded: "Continue to talk."

...

The next thing is relatively simple.

Zaid is an old hooligan.

After learning that the ore vein was found and found in his territory, his first reaction was to tear up the agreement!

If the other party is a mining group of a major Western power, Zeid certainly would not have the courage to do so.

But the other party didn't look very powerful. Zaid had bad intentions.

In his opinion, everything in this land under his feet is his own.

That confidentiality agreement only earns 10 million yuan per year, which is too little to satisfy Zeid's appetite.

He believes that with this mine vein, he can take it out and find other countries in the Western world to negotiate, and perhaps he can get more and better conditions.

Fortunately, he did not do this immediately, but instead tried the partner first.

After the survey team returned to Kabka, Zaid immediately sent troops to surround the hotel where the survey team stayed and put the people under house arrest.

He decided to force the other party to submit first. If the other party can agree with his big appetite, he can continue to cooperate. If the other party does not agree, then... kill someone and then find other Western countries to cooperate.

Anyway, Zeid would not have any psychological barriers to doing this.

The survey team did not resist, and even those members who looked very military professionally did not resist. They should eat and drink in the hotel calmly.

The next night, Zaid was frightened!

Someone gave him a gift.

This gift is a human head.

The head of the Minister of Mines of Kemubia.

It was cut off directly and stuffed into Zaid's quilt!

The President did not realize that there was such a thing in his bed until he woke up in the morning.

Of course he was scared on the spot.

Zaid was furious!

He executed several guards around him that day and replaced the captain of his guards. He ordered the Presidential Palace to conduct a thorough investigation and upgrade the security level to the highest level.

He sent someone to the hotel to meet the survey team and put forward conditions to the other party. He did not ask for much, but only required the annual income ratio of 10 million to 30 million per year.
