Encounter God by chance

The actual rulers of the Hadan Kingdom, the Hadan family, are a local traditional family. The family has received the title of nobility from ancient European royal families.

They are very smart. The land is like the big supermarket run by their ancestors. Anyone can sell goods here and just pay taxes according to regulations.

It is also possible for the underworld to monopolize a certain industry. Set the rules first, and then follow them strictly.

If you break the rules, I'm sorry, even if you are a gangster boss, you will have to give an account sooner or later.

The family that monopolizes the arms trade in Hadan City has broken its rules in recent years.

Because when that family became bigger and proposed to contract arms transaction taxes to the Hadan government, the government asked them to only collect a nominal tax on conventional weapons. And the contracting fees were waived accordingly.

Trafficking in conventional weapons is a means of livelihood for many ordinary people, and the government cannot allow ordinary people's livelihoods to be affected. The family also agreed to this.

However, in recent years, due to multiple factors, the number of mid- to high-end weapons crossing the border has dropped sharply. That family quietly increased the tax on conventional weapons.

What's more, they sometimes arbitrarily raise taxes on businessmen who abide by the rules, causing public resentment.

It was precisely because Ning Ke understood these causes and consequences that he set up a plan to take heavy action against that family.

Because a container of conventional weapons usually costs a few thousand dollars at most. Ning Ke deliberately asked Yu Mingyi to take out 30,000 US dollars each time.

And they did their part to accept so much. And still not satisfied with this, he wants to extort more.

After Ning Ke collected all the evidence, he sent the evidence to the Hadan family through clever channels. He also said that if the government ignores it, it is best not to interfere when someone takes action.

The Hardan family acquiesced.

So it happened that the family that originally had a monopoly on weapons was taken over.

The Hadan family anticipated that there might be a fight and prepared their defenses accordingly. Unexpectedly, the result was not a firefight, but a massacre, annihilation of the family, and uprooting.

And quietly!

The Hadan family was deeply shocked.

They believe that if they were the target of the attack, the outcome would not be much better.

They have no evidence or clues to suspect who did it. But from then on, they got some guesses based on some clues, and ranked Yu Mingyi's forces at the top of the list of those who should never easily turn against each other.

Yu Mingyi himself and his team members have been kept in the dark.

Yu Mingyi's first task is to collect intelligence about Africa. Institutional bases are distributed all over Africa, east, west, north, south, and all of them exist as trading or investment companies.

Procuring strategic resources to ship domestically is his second task.

"Purchasing" and "purchasing" have two different meanings.

"Mining" refers to renting a large area of ​​land in a certain area, applying for mining rights, purchasing equipment, recruiting workers, opening mountains to extract minerals, and shipping them away.

This is the first company base in the copper capital country.

"Purchasing" is simply buying and shipping away, which is trade, which is much simpler.

The "Aige Qianjie Company" he established in the southeastern port of Mosa City is of this type. The company purchases unlimited quantities of tantalum and niobium ore raw materials and transports them away regularly.

The reason why tantalum and niobium ore is not mined directly is because of the inconvenience of transportation.

The road from the port to the mines passes through several countries, and no one has invested in building cement or asphalt roads.

Machinery cannot enter, so miners excavate purely manually.

Someone buys it at a very low price in the mine and transports it in small batches to the next station; accumulates a certain amount at the next station, sells it to the next station... and finally sells it at a sky-high price in Mosa Port.

Even so, demand still exceeds supply.

Yu Mingyi's main purpose of doing arms business in Hadan City is not to make money. The establishment and successful development of Tongcheng and Mossa City were enough to meet the expenses of ordinary people, and there was also a huge surplus.

The arms business was just a stepping stone for him to break into Hadan City. I just accidentally became an uncle.

He had money and a growing reputation. So after a few years, he established freight companies in Hadan City, Copper City, and Mosa City, purchased more than a dozen freighters, and entered the international shipping field.

Gradually, he gained a certain say in the route from south to north in eastern Africa.

Yu Mingyi also personally went to Xicheng, the new capital of the Tongdu Kingdom, to meet with President Jinshaer. After several rounds of bargaining, the "General Tax Payment Agreement from Tongcheng to the Central Government", referred to as the "General Agreement", was signed.

To put it simply: Copper City pays a certain amount of U.S. dollars to the central government every year. Take care of other things yourself.

Basically, the central government recognizes Tongcheng’s autonomy.

Ning Ke has been staying in Hadan City for the past few years. But Star Dog is often sent out by him to follow Mingyi's actions. Solve some accidents secretly.

Of course Yu Mingyi didn't know.

*****

Yu Mingyi has been in Africa for several years, and the work of the Africa Department has been turned upside down.

First of all, the Africa Division not only does not need to allocate funds, but also has to hand over a large amount of funds.

Secondly, the original copper ore business has grown steadily, and the newly developed tantalum and niobium ore business has flourished, making a significant contribution to ensuring the security of strategic resources.

In eastern Africa, a stronghold covering both ends has been established, forming a powerful shipping force. The strategic significance is great.

However, some people are uncomfortable with the result and inevitably give eye drops to their boss.

Leader Li's office.

Zhou Lijing reported on work.

Although the leader reached out several times to signal him to sit down and speak, he still maintained a respectful posture and stood upright to answer the leader's questions.

"Li Jing, I already know the things I mentioned earlier. There is another thing I want to ask you about." Leader Li turned around in the executive chair and continued: "You are not in charge of the Africa Department. But I remember that Director Yu Mingyi used to be your subordinate. What do you think of this person?"

The ministry promoted bureau-level cadres, and Yu Mingyi's name was on the list. Leader Li casually asked his old boss.

Zhou Lijing had already heard the news: Yu Mingyi was on the list this time. As soon as he came up, he was on the same level as himself. I have been working hard to upgrade myself to half a level and get things right. This time there was little hope.

He pretended to be thoughtful and said: "Reporting to the leader, Yu Mingyi is very capable at work and has a high degree of completion of the tasks assigned to him."

Seeing that he obviously hadn't finished speaking, Leader Li nodded and said with a smile: "Then but..."

"But..." Zhou Lijing said decisively: "There is still room for improvement in making friends, especially in selecting subordinates."

Leader Li nodded. He said a few more words and asked him to go back.

After Zhou Lijing got off work, he went directly to the home of his mentor, Li Yunze, the executive vice president of an international college. He made an appointment in advance.

Zhou Lijing smiled and handed the gift to his wife, Yin Linna, and said, "Master, there were too many things going on a while ago and I didn't have time to visit you. Are you okay?"

He and his mentor had met several times on other occasions, so he asked his wife this way.

"It's not bad." Yin Linna said: "I heard that there are big changes in personnel, and the news that comes is not good. Your tutor is waiting for you in the study, please go there quickly."

Zhou Lijing bowed slightly and nodded to his wife, then walked to the door of the study and said, "Teacher, I am Li Jing."

An energetic voice inside said: "Li Jing is here? Come in."
