"What business?" Ye Fang asked.

"You only need to give me half of the [-] million U.S. dollars, and the [-] million U.S. dollars will become my friend. I can let go of your employees, including you of course!" Zhou Guanglong said, sounding like he had already made up his mind. Ye Fang.

"One hundred million US dollars?!" Ye Fang snorted coldly and said, "With just a phone call and a compiled stand-in story from you, I will give you [-] million US dollars. Do you think I am being taken advantage of? Don't say you are not Zhou Guanglong, even if Even if you are Zhou Guanglong, I can’t possibly return these two hundred million to you!”

"Ye Nanfang, don't forget your current situation. You are in my hands now. The people here are mercenaries who kill without blinking an eye. As long as I give my order, you and your men will immediately become a hornet's nest. Zhou Guanglong said fiercely.

"Oh, really?" Ye Fang looked at Zhou Ping opposite him and the two mercenaries behind him.

At this time, there was a little noise outside, and a unique low-frequency "plop" and "plop" sound. Zhou Ping immediately became nervous, stood up, looked around, and asked in English, "What happened outside?"

Immediately afterwards, intensive gunshots and messy screams suddenly rang out from all around, and soon the area around the wooden house fell silent. The two mercenaries behind Zhou Ping held their guns nervously, and cold sweat dripped from Zhou Ping's forehead. He turned around and asked Ye Fang: "Is it your fault?"

At this moment, Leng Chuan, who was wearing camouflage special warfare equipment, opened the door of the wooden house and walked in. The two mercenaries immediately became nervous, and Zhou Ping hid aside.

"Is everything resolved?" Ye Fang slowly stood up and asked.

Leng Chuan nodded and said, "Others are rescuing the hostages."

"Okay!" Ye Fang nodded.

At this time, Zhou Guanglong on the other side of the phone asked loudly, "What happened, Aping?"

Ye Fang picked up the phone on the table and said coldly, "Just wait in the United States, someone will come find you!" After saying that, Ye Fang hung up the phone, then ignored Zhou Ping and the other two mercenaries and turned around Walked out of the cabin.

Zhou Ping thought that Ye Fang had let him go, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. At this time, the fool also understood that Ye Fang had completely reversed the situation, and it would be good if he could save his life.

Just when Zhou Ping was complacent, several black grenades were suddenly thrown in from outside. Before Zhou Ping could shout, the entire wooden house exploded, and flames shot into the sky.

Ye Fang looked at the exploding wooden house and asked, "How many people are there in this village?"

"There are about 30 people, many of whom are old, weak, women and children. These non-governmental armed forces have occupied this place for a long time," Leng Chuan said.

"If these people are willing to settle in the oil town, take them away directly. If they are not willing to leave, leave the armed supplies here." Ye Fang ordered.

"Yes!" Leng Chuan replied.

On the way back to the oil town, Ye Fang called Haidong and told Haidong the situation.

"Holy shit, it's true that Zhou Guanglong has been controlling this puppet overseas to engage in drug trade!" Haidong was also a little unbelievable. How much trust does this require to do this? What's more important is that no one has been there for so many years. Discover.

"I speculate that this fake Zhou Guanglong must have some control over the real Zhou Guanglong, otherwise he would not be so honest." Ye Fang said solemnly.

"I will go to interrogate this fake Zhou Guanglong immediately." Haidong said.

"Contact me anytime if you have any questions. As for the real Zhou Guanglong, leave it to me." Ye Fang said.

"Okay." Haidong replied.

Theron, who was in the same car, did not expect that the seemingly gentle Ye Fang could have such a ruthless side. With a wave of his hand, more than twenty lives were wiped out. If he would rather hand this matter over to the police, he would never risk it himself. This is a place where nothing matters, not to mention hundreds of millions of dollars in ransoms involved. The most worthless thing in Africa is human life. So what if these twenty people died? Theron never thought that Ye Fang would send out special forces for these people.

However, since this incident, the reputation of Longpai Oil Company has been spread. It is spread to ten people and hundreds of people. Everyone knows that living in an oil town is stable and work is more secure, so many people who come here are willing to come here. Jobs in oil towns will cause the population of oil towns to expand rapidly in the coming year, further promoting the urbanization process of the towns.

Ye Fang never imagined that the butterfly effect of this move would be so significant. A simple operation to rescue the hostages would directly drive the urbanization process of the town and attract more people to invest in the town.

The next morning, Ye Fang convened a meeting with Liao Yuanzheng, Han Hui and Xiong Yang to discuss strengthening the security force of the town. At the same time, Ye Fang requested that all workers be insured to ensure that all people who come to work in the town have complete welfare and protection. .

"Brothers, it is true that we run businesses to seek profits, but if there is an opportunity to benefit the people, we must have the courage to shoulder this social responsibility. In the future, the oil town will not only be our production base, but also our own City, looking forward to 20 years from now, this place will definitely be the most dazzling pearl in Africa, and your names will be forever engraved on the monument of this city!"

Ye Fang's powerful speech made everyone present feel a chill running down their spines. Everyone deeply felt the responsibility they carried, not only for the company, but also for the local people.

"Mr. Ye, don't worry! Give us 20 years, and we will definitely build this place into the most prosperous and affluent city in Africa!" Liao Yuanzheng and others stood up and excitedly promised Ye Fang.

"Okay, I'm waiting to see that day!" Ye Fang said with satisfaction.

At this time, Xiang Rong, who was holding out his hand to Ye Fang, finally understood why his eldest brother was so confident in entrusting himself to Ye Fang to the Congress. It was because Ye Fang treated his employees so conscientiously, not to mention himself, who was about to have a new identity. Xiangrong decided to stay with Ye Fang in this life, and he could still be loyal to the country and serve the country on another front.

Two days later, Ye Fang departed from South Africa for Russia. Before leaving, Ye Fang even met with Mbeki. He described to Mbeki his plans for TSMC and Uni-President, including his plans for the future oil town. After all, There are too many things that require Mbeki's approval. Mbeki certainly hopes that Ye Fang will get bigger and bigger. The more Ye Fang earns, the more profits and taxes he will pay, and of course the more he will earn.

Mbeki even promised to allocate a hundred kilometers radius of the oil town to Ye Fang free of charge, and related municipal supporting projects. As long as the buildings are built, municipal pipelines will be laid wherever they are, giving the oil town full management autonomy.

This time, the two basically set the tone for the future development of the oil town. Mbeki also guaranteed that even if he leaves the position of president in the future, the relevant legal system will be used to protect Ye Fang's business rights. The two people communicated very deeply, and the official communication efficiency was particularly high based on personal friendship. After obtaining many policies, it gave Ye Fang the confidence and confidence, and also allowed people like Liao Yuanzheng to free their hands and feet to work. After all, this area It is one of Ye Fang's most secret assets.

It also takes more than ten hours to reach Russia from South Africa, with a stop in Singapore, and then continue north to Russia. The last time I came here was a year ago when I went to Ukraine to buy the Vagalyan. In the blink of an eye, it has been a year. Sulong lived on the Vagelyan in Turkey for a year under extremely difficult conditions. Every once in a while, Ye Fang will talk to Su Long. In the most recent phone call, Su Long told Ye Fang that the Turkish government has put forward many harsh conditions for the Varyag to leave the port. The negotiation team composed of relevant national departments is still continuing to communicate. , there is no specific return date yet.

Ye Fang once told Ye Youxin that he was going to Turkey, and he would come to Yin if it was not possible, but Ye Youxin stopped him. Ye Youxin just told Ye Fang to have confidence in the negotiating delegation. At the same time, Ye Youxin also said that the country is now in an upward period of development, and it is not an exaggeration to waste everything to make progress. Now we are looking for development opportunities in the cracks of Western countries. One day in the future, when our country becomes truly powerful, no one will dare to point fingers at us.

In a word, we are not strong enough!

Ye Fang firmly remembers this sentence and does his best to promote the progress of the country with the body of an ant, but he only wants to have a clear conscience.

"Brother Ye, we've landed." Leng Chuan's words pulled Ye Fang back from his racing thoughts, and Ye Fang nodded towards Leng Chuan.

After the plane landed, Ye Fang took Leng Chuan, Xiang Rong, and a group of iron guards off the plane. Gorman's fat body was already waiting on the tarmac. Ye Fang smiled and brought the simultaneous translator and opened his arms to Gorman.

"Ye, my good brother and good partner! We finally meet again." Gorman's big hand slapped Ye Fang's back hard, knocking Ye Fang's lungs so hard that he almost coughed.

"Old Ge, why are you here in person? Just tell me the address and I can go there myself." Ye Fang said.

"No, No, No!" Gorman shook his finger and said, "This is your first time coming to Russia. I am the host. I must let you feel the enthusiasm of the Russians! Come on, let's talk as we walk!"

Gorman held his hand for a moment, and a row of car lights flashed on the tarmac. They were all huge black commercial vehicles. As for the brand, Ye Fang couldn't tell, but he could tell that it was indeed in line with the Russian style, that is, tall and powerful. .

Gorman pulled Ye Fang into his own car, and then the motorcade slowly left the airport and headed towards a secret manor in the outer suburbs of Moscow. After the two people exchanged greetings, Ye Fang found out that he was the last one from the R organization to arrive. The others had arrived in Russia two days ago. After questioning, he learned that there were a total of thirteen people attending the founding meeting of the R organization.

These are thirteen people, five of whom are Russia's local oil conglomerates, who are said to be able to control [-]% of Russia's oil production. These five people, including Gorman, are representatives of Russia's external oil power. The remaining eight people are from the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Western Europe. Among them, Ye Fang is the most special as the South African representative of China. The other seven are more or less oil tycoons in the region. Although they are weak compared to the Russian oil oligarchs, after all, this is the first group of members to develop. , and even said that the next batch of R organization members will rely on these people to slowly develop.

These thirteen people can be said to be the founding members or consortium of R organization. Not counting Ye Fang, the most distinguished of the other seven people is a prince from Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi is the largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates. This prince named Zayed is about the same age as Ye Fang and is the most unpopular prince in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Even so, Zayed still had an oil field of his own in his hands. Because he was frustrated in Abu Dhabi and had ambitions but was not favored by the president's father, he resolutely joined the R organization under Gorman's lobbying. He hopes to further develop his business contacts. He does not want to wait to die on the hot bed of US dollars and oil like other brothers.

The remaining six people are all engaged in the oil industry in various regions, and they also have their own oil production areas and chemical plants. They are all like business tycoons in the local area, but they are still a bit insignificant in front of the powerful Russian nation, otherwise they would not He will willingly join the R organization and consider the Russian plutocrats as his big brothers.

Ye Fang nodded after understanding the backgrounds of these people. No matter how this organization develops in the future, it can always expand his connections around the world.

"Ye, my good brother. There are only two people I like among these people. One is Zayed from Abu Dhabi, and the other is you. After all, I personally developed you two. Because of this incident, Putin The president also praised me very much. Oh, by the way, he will also come to the founding meeting, and I will introduce it to you then." Gorman put his arm around Ye Fang's shoulders and said.

"Is this the President Putin who said he would give you 20 years to give you a powerful Russia?" Ye Fang asked.

"That's him, that's him! We've known each other a long time ago. He just took over as the president of Russia not long ago. The domestic political situation is very turbulent and he needs our support!" Gorman said loudly.

Ye Fang knew that the oil oligarchs represented by Gorman were the force behind Putin's support. Putin still needed the support of people like Gorman in the early days of coming to power. After all, there was personal friendship mixed in, and Gorman would be more loyal to Putin. .

It’s just that Ye Fang, who is familiar with Chinese history, deeply understands that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Because the current Putin has just taken power and the domestic political situation is unstable, he has inherited the mess left by the previous president. It is precisely because of this that Putin He shouted the loud slogan "I will give you a strong Russia in 20 years!" and gained the support of the people.

But after Putin takes power, it is still unknown whether these oligarchs who can control the political situation will be allowed to exist. Ye Fang can't help but be deeply worried about Gorman, but now Gorman is risking his life to travel around the world for Putin. I can't bear to hurt him, so I just have to take it one step at a time before talking about Ye Fang.

Soon the convoy arrived at a manor. Since it was already dark, Ye Fang couldn't tell how big the manor was. I just know that from entering the gate of the manor to the time when the convoy stopped at the gate of the manor's castle, the convoy drove for at least 10 minutes.

Ye Fang didn't know that from the moment he set foot on Russian soil, he would fall into the whirlpool of Russian politics...
