Chapter 904
"President Qin, isn't this good?" Liu Dashan said on the side: "I heard that those people are vicious guys who kill people if they disagree with each other. You are the backbone of our Mingzhou Group, so you need it for such a trivial matter. Take a risk?"

Originally, Davidson was very happy when he heard that Qin Tao was going to help, but now, after hearing Liu Dashan's words, he became worried again. Yes, Mr. Qin's identity is important. If there is anything wrong here, the Orientals will definitely come to find him. troublesome.Is Mr. Qin worth risking his life for such a trivial matter?

Qin Tao smiled: "Yes, I am the backbone of the Mingzhou Group, but I am also a friend of the Rainbow Country, and a friend of billions of brothers in Africa. Our relationship with Mo Country is already very good. This is The friendship we built back then, and now there is an accident in Mo Country, can I not help? My personal safety is nothing, as long as it can help our friends, no matter how big the risk is, it is worth it."

"President Qin!" Liu Dashan wanted to say something, but was rejected by Qin Tao: "We in the East have always advocated the spirit of self-sacrifice and saving others. Now that our friends are in trouble, how can we not extend a hand of friendship? ? I'll help you with this favor, so don't say anything."

Davidson was moved to tears.

"Mr. Qin, you are really a good friend of ours in Africa, a good brother! I will contact the people in Mozambique and tell them your most precious friendship!"

One day later, Mo Guo.

Africa is divided in half by the equator. There are many desert areas in the north. The latitude in the south is not high, but desertification is not serious. More than 50.00% of Mozambique's land is covered with lush forests. Therefore, desertification in North Africa , it’s okay to blame the lumberjacks in the Sahara forest.

A Jaguar helicopter flew over the lush woods and finally landed in a certain army camp. After going down, a group of Mozambique officers in camouflage uniforms and berets greeted them enthusiastically.

"Mr. Qin, welcome to Mo Country." One of them spoke first: "My name is Felipe, and I am responsible for handling this incident. It would be great if this matter can be resolved peacefully."

Although the other party's tone is weird, they can communicate normally without an interpreter. Qin Tao looked at him curiously: "Do you speak Eastern languages?"

"Yes, I once received training at your Army Command Academy, where I learned Oriental dialect." Speaking of this, Felipe was very proud: "I have read many books in the East, I know, The East is a very fraternal country, you never take the initiative to invade others, you are also very sincere to your friends, to use an idiom, you are willing to do anything for your friends."

"That's right, we have a very good relationship with the country of Mozambique, so after hearing about this matter, we took the initiative to come here." Qin Tao said: "We are willing to help you resolve this matter as peacefully as possible. By the way, you and Mo Have those old men fought against each other?"

"It's over." Felipe's face was a little dark: "We sent a battalion to try to go through this forest to destroy them, but only less than 100 people came back, and the rest were wiped out. Inside, we estimate that the organization called Vana has at least a thousand people."

Thousands of people?This Vitalia is getting bigger and bigger the more she plays!Qin Tao felt a little emotional, she is a hero, and she will show it no matter where she goes, she has inherited her father's style of a big boss, and took advantage of the situation.

Her father gave up his brilliant life and came to the east to protect his life wisely. Now it seems that this choice is very correct, but a big boss is a big boss, how can he be willing to be mediocre? Now, they have discovered that Africa is their stage, They can bring all those old men who are not happy with their lives, and at the same time, they can also get a large number of weapons and equipment. They use the advantages of equipment and strictly trained soldiers to form an absolute advantage here.

Although the officers here went to the East for training, the ordinary soldiers here are still too bad.

Even if there is frequent turmoil, it is just the fighting level of ordinary street gangsters. If you kill civilians, you will stop fighting against well-trained troops. They can't fight, so they call Rainbow Nation for help. The Rainbow Nation intends to become the boss of Africa, and there are still a lot of elite equipment on hand, but in fact, the Rainbow Nation has declined in the past ten years, and the Rainbow Nation's army may still be beaten to death when they come.

Being able to negotiate peacefully is naturally the best choice.

"They are very well equipped, with wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, several armed helicopters, and even tanks." Felipe said: "Now when their transport convoy transports materials, it is not just wheeled infantry combat vehicles. car protection, and there are often helicopters flying overhead.”

Can't afford to mess with it, the other party is no longer an ordinary security company, but a real army.

Qin Tao nodded: "A peaceful settlement is the best. I'll try it out. I'm familiar with many people in Lao Maozi, and I may be able to establish a relationship with them. Do you have any requirements for the terms of the negotiation?"

"Mr. Qin, let's try our best to achieve any conditions you can give us." Felipe said.

"According to your regulations, the corporate income tax is 30.00% five, and the corporate income tax is allowed to be reduced by half for 10 years from the date of commencement of production. This is 17.00% five, and also, the concession of precious metals, precious stones, diamonds and other minerals The royalties are 5.00%, six, ten and three percent respectively. Gold is a precious metal, so a 5.00% royalty has to be added. After this, they should pay you a tax of 20.00% and [-]% .I try my best to negotiate with them, let them be a legal business that pays taxes on time, how about it?"

Felipe's eyes widened: "Really? That would be great!"

They have nothing to do with this company called Vana. It is said to be a mining company, but it is actually an armed group. The force is rapidly expanding, even stronger than their military. They have nothing to do if they insist on not leaving.

Now, if the other party is willing to pay taxes, of course they will welcome it.

In Africa, everyone knows that if you can sit, you can sit, if you can do nothing, you can do nothing, and you can collect taxes. Of course, that is the best.

"If you have no objections, then I'll go over and have a talk. Do you want to send someone to go with me?"

Felipe looked at the people around him and murmured a few words in Portuguese. These people immediately took a few steps back. What a joke, the bodies of the people who entered last time were not recovered. Now if they dare to come back Go in, what if you can't come back?
Qin Tao smiled: "Then please prepare a car for me, and I will go there by myself. Also, prepare a white flag for me."

"President Qin, how many soldiers should we send to follow you in?" Felipe suggested with some embarrassment.

"Can you guarantee that these soldiers will not abandon their vehicles and flee after seeing the enemy?" Qin Tao asked.

Felipe was even more embarrassed.

These people always lose battles, not to mention fighting with Lao Maozi. Even ordinary bandit suppression missions may be beaten and fled by others, even if they are commanded by officers who have been trained in the East. Simple, these soldiers have no faith and don't know why they are fighting. Of course they will not fight desperately and will give in when they are in danger.

"We have an armored vehicle here, please drive it there." Felipe pointed to a WZ551 armored vehicle not far away. This six-wheeled armored vehicle is the main wheeled armored vehicle in the East and has also been exported to Mozambique.

Qin Tao shook his head: "This thing is conspicuous, and it's easy to be attacked. At most, it can resist a bullet. An RPG can reimburse it. We can just drive an ordinary car."

A pickup just drove into the jungle.

A double-cab pickup can seat four people. The driver is Xu Zhengyang, the co-pilot is Qin Tao, and Zhao Ling sits in the middle of the back row. Two bodyguards protect the two sides. A group of five people looks like moths to a flame. .

However, few people were not worried, after all, for them, this was just an event to visit old friends.

Looking at the scene outside the car window, Zhao Ling frowned. Vitalia is a rich second generation. She has lived in a superior environment since she was a child, and her food, clothing, housing and transportation are all high-end goods. Places like Africa are too backward. Can she stand it here?

I wonder what Vitalia has become now?Got a tan?Are you old?Are there more black uncles around for her to play with?

The woods in front of them shook, and some old Maozi mercenaries appeared. Although they were carrying guns, they all raised their muzzles to the sky. For fear of accidental injury, the leader shouted loudly: "Heavenly King Gedihu!"

Zhao Ling laughed again, this Vitalia always likes to play tricks!
"Pagoda Town River Demon!"

There is a code here.

In fact, even without this signal, the other party did not dare to shoot. After the car approached, the other party had already spoken in Russian with a smile: "Mr. .”

"Well, Ivan, you have worked hard too, get in the car."

So, these sturdy old men sat in the back of the pickup truck, and the car continued to move forward, out of the woods, and drove to the gold mine in the distance.

There are more and more armed personnel patrolling around, with murderous looks in their eyes. How can such an elite army be comparable to the rabble outside.

However, such an empty place should be easily spotted by planes in the sky, right?Didn't the troops of those governments think about bombing directly from the air?

As soon as he thought of this, he saw people carrying anti-aircraft missile guards in the distance, and he was dumbfounded. How many good things did Vitalia get?Needless to say, these shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles, Shikale River self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and even field anti-aircraft missiles can probably be obtained.

Zhao Ling was also looking at the surrounding scene, and then she saw several containers in the distance. There was a buzzing sound inside. There should be a diesel generator set. There was an air conditioner hanging outside the container. It seemed that it was A place for people to live.

In this kind of place, there is no air conditioner, which is really uncomfortable.

Seeing the pickup truck coming, the door of the container room opened, and a person came out. She was wearing the same camouflage outfit and a beret, and she looked heroic. Zhao Ling recognized it after just one glance.

"Vina!"

Vitalia waited at the door with a smile on her face, watching the car drive up with a smile on her face.

The car stopped, and Qin Tao got down, looking at the woman in front of him, as if he didn't know her.

"Weina, you are going to pierce the sky."

"The sky is falling, and there is a tall one holding it up." Vitalia replied, then turned her head to look at Zhao Ling, and hugged her.

"Zhao, I really didn't expect that you would come too."

"The conditions here are very poor, so I was very worried when I heard that you came here, so I came to have a look." Zhao Ling said, "How is it? Have you suffered here?"

"Efforts are made? Others are the ones who endure hardships. Come on, go in and talk."

Once inside the container, Zhao Ling knew that Vitalia was right.

You can see the furnishings inside at a glance. There is a corridor at the door, separated by a glass partition. Inside is a bathroom, which not only has a shower, but also a bathtub where you can take a comfortable bath. Inside is a sofa, bed, and desk. As for the furnishings, it goes without saying that these are wrapped in leather. Even the inner walls of the room are wrapped in leather, which looks very comfortable.

"Come on, sit down, would you like coffee or tea?"

"Tea is fine, Wei Na, you have become the emperor of Africa." Qin Tao also felt emotional.

"What kind of emperor, I am also very worried all day long. With 2000 people under my command, my monthly expenses are a big one. Don't look at me running such a large mine. In fact, my family's wealth is invested in it."

"2000 people?" Qin Tao asked in surprise, "Isn't it 1000 people?"

"Last month, there was a battle with outsiders. At that time, there were 1000 people. Later, my father felt that these people were not enough, so he went back and recruited a group, so there were more than 2000 people. When these people came, I even It costs money like water, you should also know that mercenaries are just using money to do things, if I can't get the money, these people might tie me up and send me to the hands of those outside."

"What are you going to do?"

"What else can I do, I can only continue to develop. Africa is full of gold, and there are too many various resources. As long as I can solve the transportation problem, then I can make money."

"You didn't consider how the government would react?"

"Government? I don't even know when the government will be overthrown by the soldiers. They fight on their own. It's none of my business."

"No, Wei Na, your idea is inappropriate." Qin Tao said: "If you want to develop the Vana Group, you must develop a good relationship with the government. I am here to help you .”

Vitalia nodded: "Yes, I heard that you are coming, and I am also looking forward to it. If you can bring Mingzhou Group into such a huge business group, you will definitely help our Vana Group to develop. What do you think? ,Tell me."

As she spoke, she brewed the tea and placed it in front of the two of them.

"If you want to develop, you must obey the law, be a good citizen, and pay taxes according to the law."

"What?" Vitalia was stunned: "Tax taxes according to the law? I have more than 2000 people in my hand. Even if I march into the capital, it is possible to overthrow the current leader. I still have to pay taxes according to the law?"

"You can't do that. This kind of rough old man will not end well. You have force in your hand and can be the boss here, but there are many people outside who don't want to see it. You have to If you really do that, many people will come to beat you. Your Vana Group is developing very fast, but don’t forget that there is also a very powerful Blackwater Company.”

Vitalia's face became serious. At first she thought Qin Tao was joking, but now she knew that what Qin Tao said was true.

"Qin, do you really want me to pay taxes?"

"That's right, I have already discussed with the outsiders. According to their government regulations, you have to pay tax at 20.00% of [-]% of your turnover." Qin Tao said.

"What? So high? Then what do I earn? The average grade of my gold mine here is only 9.9 grams per ton. I can only produce less than 20 grams of gold with a [-]-ton truck. Now a gram of gold is less than At eight dollars, the gold mine of this car can only be sold for four to five thousand dollars. My current mechanized operation can produce about [-] cars a day, which is only about [-] dollars, which is not enough to make as much money as I used to. , if I pay taxes again, I still have to die.”

In the past few years, when the price of gold in the world was at its lowest, the timing of Vitalia's entry was really inappropriate.

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, your profit here is indeed not high. If this continues, you will have to lose all your capital."

"Yeah, so I need more people and expand the scale so that I can make more money."

"Then have you ever thought about what is the main factor restricting your expansion? Is it lack of manpower?"

"What is that?" Vitalia looked at Qin Tao curiously: "You know more about this than me?"

"I don't understand, I'm just guessing, I think your biggest problem here is transportation."

"Transportation? I have armed escort, transportation is no problem."

"Why is it okay? You have to always be on guard against someone who is against you, and you even have to use armed helicopters to protect you. Isn't that a waste of cost? If you pay taxes to the government according to law, then you can enjoy relevant rights and interests, and you can be generous. You don’t need to go to the Rainbow Country anymore, go directly east from here, use the shortest distance to reach the port, and then ship it away, the cost can be reduced by at least half compared to the current cost.”

Vitalia thought about it seriously.

"At the same time, you can also quickly expand the scale. How can fifty cars a day be enough? Hundreds of cars a day. If necessary, you can also build a railway. The transportation efficiency is definitely not comparable to what it is now. There are also many rivers here. , you can also find a ship in a suitable place and ship it directly eastward to the port."

"They will let us go east to sea?"

"Of course, you pay taxes according to the law, why don't they allow it? The more you mine, the more taxes they collect. If there are some short-sighted people who want to take advantage of the oil, the guns in your hands are not fire sticks."

"Besides, you have a legal identity, and you can diversify your business. Think about it, when you came here to mine, didn't you just fancy that this is a three-way zone? However, there are not many such zones. There are many other mineral resources, don’t you want to expand the scale? What’s the point of dying with a gold mine here? You can mine other resources openly.”

"There are other mines?" Vitalia's eyes sparkled.

"Yes, don't look at one of the least developed countries here. The per capita GDP is only 220 US dollars. But there are too many minerals here. For example, the reserves of tantalum ore rank first in the world, about 750 million tons, and titanium ore is more than 600 million. Tons, there are rare earth mines here, if you are recruited, these can be mined, and we can also cooperate, and the minerals you mined will be handed over to our Mingzhou Group for processing."

Even if there is no Vitalia, Qin Tao plans to deploy in Africa and take all the minerals here, using a package of weak countries and strong military projects. However, some countries are not interested in developing the navy, which is a bit difficult.

Now that there is Vitalia's Vana Group, of course they can use it, let them mine it with great fanfare, and then sell it to their own side.

In other words, this rare earth mine must be controlled in our hands. This is a trump card that can compete with those big countries in the future. As long as we hold the rare earth mine here, we will have absolute control in the rare earth field. say.

Titanium ore is also very important. Titanium is the most important metal in aerospace, and its value is definitely higher than that of gold.

"At the same time, by paying taxes to the government, you can also establish a good relationship with this country, and then you can do more things. For example, the troops outside are too hip and have no combat effectiveness. You can send instructors to help them Training the army. There are still many key people who need protection, and you can also provide security work. In short, you have to learn to package yourself and present yourself as a good friend of the other party, which is much better than fighting against them.”

Vitalia thought briefly, then nodded: "That's right, Qin, your way is better. When it comes to tricks, no one can compare with you Dongfang."

The old man is quite irritable, and he likes to strike at the slightest disagreement. This has won a prestige: no one dares not to take them seriously. It is terrible to anger the bear, but it also prevents the old man from achieving a peaceful development. The old Maozi doesn't know how to hide his strength and bide his time, he only knows how to do it when he refuses to accept it.

Now, Qin Tao has given Vitalia a gentler and more acceptable way to develop rapidly. The country of Mozambique is just the beginning. When they conquer this place, they will continue to expand and eventually expand to the whole of Africa.

"Okay, then you write down all your requirements, and I will discuss with people outside to get the best conditions for you."

"No need, this kind of thing is too troublesome. Qin, you should do it. I'll leave it to you. How about leaving Zhao here with me for a few days?"

Qin Tao was a little dumbfounded: "I can understand that you want to keep hostages?"

"How could it be?" Vitalia shook her head quickly: "Qin, I didn't mean that. If Zhao doesn't want to, he can leave at any time. We have been old friends for many years, and you still come to help me. How can I To play tricks on you, I just want to catch up with Zhao."

Zhao Ling smiled: "That's right, Brother Tao, I haven't talked with Wei Na, we live together for a few days, but when you go outside, it can be said that I was detained here as a hostage .”
