America’s Big Hero - v2 Chapter 401
The people from Hafei left, and they went back with the Chinese team. They wanted to go back and have a good discussion about opening a branch in Morocco.
This is a serious matter.
The export products in the east that can be exchanged for foreign exchange in these years are mainly agricultural products. In the 1980s, it was the farmers who saved the east.
Although the country is far from enough food and clothing.
Rice, flour, cotton, pigs, poultry, eggs…
In addition, there are a large number of rural handicrafts, silk flowers, cork paintings, bamboo products, pull flowers…
In addition to agricultural products, such as oil and minerals, there are very few high value-added industrial products, which are very unhealthy and have no future from an economic point of view.
On the same level as Morocco…
It’s Sean, or to be more precise, Jeff the High Sparrow, who is currently buying a lot of industrial goods in the east.
The High Sparrow not only controls the ‘street office’ in the northern region of Colombia, but also forms a trading company.
It was established because of the previous support for DiCaprio’s armed forces and the discovery that walk-behind tractors are very suitable for Colombia.
At present, it has not only imported walking tractors, but also a large number of maintenance and processing tools.
All kinds of pliers, wrenches, saws… including machetes!
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not killing people, it really isn’t.
It is to chop up agricultural products such as coconuts, bananas, and sugar cane.
Jeff, the largest mafia leader in northern Colombia, is doing a legitimate business, and Sean, a serious businessman, is doing an illegal underground army…
The difference, the difference is that when Jeff’s people import the price, they will try their best to keep the price low, while Sean will take the initiative to increase the price.
So, for the East, is legal business better or illegal business better?
This is the problem facing the Hafei people.
Sean’s condition is to set up a joint venture company to sell Hafei cars in Morocco,
From the east side, Sean can be imported from the east side and sold in Morocco. There is no need for any joint venture and the government will help to promote it. The east side believes that the effect will be very good.
Although Hafei people are not optimistic that their own cars can achieve high sales in Morocco,
Well, the embassy is not optimistic either, but for different reasons.
However, it is necessary to promote cooperation.
The leaders of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Ministry of Industry, and HLJ, and Hafei, have urgently negotiated with various parties to come up with a cooperation plan as soon as possible. Sean urged him very urgently.
I go up and down hundreds of thousands in one minute, how can I waste so much time with you!
It’s consultation, it’s discussion. Not a meeting.
There is a strange phenomenon. Meetings with a lot of people are not important, important meetings are not many people, meetings are held to solve small problems, small meetings are held to solve major problems, meetings are not held to solve key problems, and meetings are held when problems are not solved.
In the final analysis, the value of a meeting is determined by the number of people present at the meeting.
Remember, not directly proportional, but inversely proportional!
…
While discussing quickly in the east and setting the tone, Sean was not idle. The last time he hurriedly returned to the United States was because of the restructuring of the umbrella company. There are still many things that have not been dealt with here.
The first is to find Frenchman Thompson Alves.
This is the second time the two sides have met. The last time they were on the yacht, Sean kicked down two cabinets of dollars.
In the end, no cash was given. Those were too rude, and they couldn’t trade like this at their level.
Money is not the most important thing to Thompson Alves, not everything.
What Sean showed was only sincerity. In fact, the report was given through the French assets seized and confiscated by Morocco.
Thompson Alves’ nephew opened a foreign trade company and took large quantities of goods at low prices from warehouses confiscated by Morocco officials, one by one.
Of course, the Spaniards also opened a company and took away a lot of goods.
These are the things that the companies in France paid for but disappeared during the seizure, don’t ask why or where.
Those companies in France are already very happy to be able to get the company back, and they will go to trace the whereabouts of a batch of goods without thinking.
The two companies took away goods worth about 30 million respectively. Sean’s team calculated that the two companies could earn about 8 million each.
The total amount of goods seized before and after is about 300 million yuan, and there will be many people who will participate in the division later, all of them are French and Spaniards. In the later period, so many people are promoting the reconciliation of the two sides. It is not in vain.
Of course, the starting point is to consider the problem from the perspective of the country, and the economic blockade will not benefit anyone.
Whether to scold or to scold verbally, and whether to push for negotiation or negotiation in fact, is similar to the saying, “Anti-American is work, and going to the United States is life.”
But this has nothing to do with Sean, and he doesn’t need to pay.
This time Sean came to Thompson Alves to communicate with Libya. After all, he was providing military partners for Kadazoo to fight with Chad, which was protected by France, and he had to communicate privately.
After chatting for a while, we talked about French food, and then from food to Africa. Naturally, we talked about Chad and Kadez.
“Zador Card is still in high spirits. I estimate that it will take less than two months for the assistant to push the front back again. Well, within five months, it will be pushed to the central region of Chad again.” Sean smiled and took the wine lightly. After taking a sip, he said with a smile.
Thompson Alves pondered for a while, and asked without end, “Why?”
“We have analyzed the character of Mr. Card, and decided that it is best to find something to do for him, to make him nervous and busy with things.” Sean smiled and spread his hands, “You know, people are free. When you get up, you will think too much, and it will be more troublesome.”
Thompson Alves nodded, he understood the considerations of the United States, and for France, it is obviously not a good thing for Chad to be too peaceful. “Indeed, these African blacks are too lazy.”
Saying that, Thompson Alves stirred the mushroom soup with a spoon, “They will just find a place to lie down during the day, or hide in the house to mate, they won’t work without a whip, you give Their seeds let them plant, they just eat them, they don’t sprinkle them in the fields, and when they’re full, these **** go wild with joy and feel like they’re kings of the world.”
“I always thought they were like uncivilized chimpanzees. There are hundreds or thousands of chimpanzees in a group, and then the leader has the highest mating rights.”
“Besides mating and eating, they just hide in a cool place to sleep or play, and grab each other’s parasites, um, that’s all!”
Sean laughed at what Thompson Alves said, “Okay, man, I already have a picture in my head, and you say it’s very vivid.”
“I’m not a racist, you know, there are a lot of black people in France, and there are also many in the military.” Thompson Alves spread his hands helplessly, “But the African indigenous black people are really like this, I’m in Africa Being stationed for a long time, I conducted an experiment, you know what!”
“You said.” Sean became interested.
“I arranged for some blacks in the French army to come out to train the local armed personnel and teach them knowledge, from basic language to basic military capabilities.” Thompson Alves looked very strange, “I have been through a long period of time. Watching the time, yes, I think it’s like a circus teaching a group of orangutans to juggle.”
“They know this knowledge is useful, but they just don’t learn it, sleep during class, chat, play around, or simply be late and sleep in their room.”
“Then I ordered to give them only half of the food, only those who learned to eat, and the result you must not imagine.”
“Oh, they started to study hard?” Sean looked curious, really curious.
“No, they choose to sleep a little longer and reduce their activity levels so that they are not so hungry!” Thompson Alves waved his arms angrily.
Hahahaha, Sean’s stomach hurt from laughing, and he said after a long while, “Then what?”
“Then I ordered to learn not to eat at all!” Thompson Alves gritted his teeth.
“Okay, now they will start to learn, right?” Shawn shook his head and smiled.
“Wrong, very wrong!” Thompson Alves took a deep breath and said in a very flat tone: “They ran away and ran back to the village overnight.”
“Pfft, hahahaha!” Sean slipped out of the chair with a smile, damn, is it really that exaggerated?
Sean didn’t know much about Africa, especially Africa at this time in the 1980s. It was already 30 years later when there was more information on Africa.
In Africa in the 1980s, the main labor force and the people who fought in the war were those born in the 50s and 60s, who lived in the colonial era.
No one can expect Africans in the colonial period to have any enthusiasm for labor, because no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to get rid of the status of a black slave.
Absolutely no way.
Coupled with the geographical and climatic conditions of Africa, working three hours a day is their pursuit.
You don’t need a house, you can make a dome with thatch and yellow mud that can be seen everywhere. The main purpose of the hut is sun protection and ventilation. It doesn’t matter whether it leaks or not.
No need for good clothes, just a pair of trousers, even a piece of cloth is enough.
They don’t need to be full, as long as they’re not hungry, they have a custom of planting a tree, a local fruit tree, in the yard or nearby when a child is born.
They are too lazy to multiply a few, it is completely unnecessary.
Without assets, there is no need for protection, and without an ascending channel, there is no need to learn, just be happy!
Africa will have to wait until the post-80s and even post-90s rise to see a little change, um, that is, a little bit.
It was not until Sean sat down again that Thompson Alves continued: “Finally I ordered the soldiers to take everyone back, and then forced them to train with guns, and those who didn’t train well would whip them hard, and then like a slave.”
“Why do you have to teach them?” Sean asked curiously.
“After all, I can’t expect a small number of French soldiers to do all the work, and it’s not good-looking. They are an independent country, and of course they have to manage it themselves, otherwise they think France is going to colonize.” Thompson Alves curled his lips. , “It’s actually those chiefs who don’t seem to be independent,”
“I’ve always wondered why they didn’t want to be independent.”
“Isn’t it good to enjoy a good life without worrying about anything? Why should you be independent? After independence, you will manage your own clan, so what’s the difference? There are so many things to worry about.” Thompson Ya Elvis scolded fiercely before saying: “Those old guys look stupid and don’t have much knowledge, but they are very cunning, they understand that only by maintaining the status quo can they maintain their family’s rule, not some bullshit. independent.”
The 1960s and 1970s in Africa were very interesting. Some countries in France did not want them to be independent, but they resisted fiercely, while many countries in Central and West Africa resisted independence.
There are many such countries, and they are unwilling to become independent after a few decades, becoming a burden that the suzerain cannot get rid of…
Such as the Netherlands Antilles, such as French Polynesia, too many.
Taking Polynesia as an example, the four surrounding countries that have completed independence are Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and Tuvalu. The sum of the per capita GDP of the four countries is 87% of that of French Polynesia, and the per capita GDP of Polynesia is 23,000 US dollars, crazy Want to be independent?
If you have the ability, you can kill me. If you can’t kill me, I will never be independent!
What is love!
“Well, primitive wisdom, right.” Sean actually understands why France or some European countries want these regions to be independent.
These areas do not have their own culture and heritage, their civilization is still primitive tribe period, and they cannot become an independent country if they are given the opportunity.
After forcing them to become independent, the colonists did not lose the opportunity to plunder the wealth and got rid of the responsibilities and burdens that the administrators needed to bear.
Only take advantage, no responsibility, perfect!
Just as feudalism replaced slavery, capitalism replaced feudalism.
More advanced governance makes exploitation easier, more insidious, and put on a benevolent guise.
Of course, there are some countries that have a strong sense of independence, such as Niger, Libya, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan, etc.
Then push the boat to make them independent, and then promote civil war or war with neighboring countries, which can maintain control and influence, and there are many methods.
Thompson Alves talked a lot about his impressions of Africa. Of course, this is not just to vent, but to show an attitude.
France, including French capital, also wanted Chad to be in chaos, as long as it remained under their control.
They don’t want Chad to invest its national income in education, people’s livelihood, and infrastructure, and it is best to invest the funds on the battlefield.
It is very good to be able to recover funds through military partners and to maintain the status quo and dependence of Chad.
Thompson Alves also suggested that Niger can also join in the melee, and Niger and Libyan Kadez also have a grudge.
Cardazo supports the independence of the Tuaregs, who are also Mediterranean whites and believe in YSL, while Niger, which is ruled by blacks, resolutely fights against the Tuaregs, and the two sides have exchanged fire for decades.
Oh yes, in contrast to the Arabs, Tuaregs are a matriarchal society, children take their mother’s surname, women don’t wear veils and men wear veils.
“Okay, I don’t care, but what benefits can I get? Is there anything worth investing in Niger? I remember they are very poor. Like Chad, they are the poorest country in the world?” Sean tilted his head and thought for a while.
“It is very poor, but it does not mean that there are no investment projects.” Thompson Alves said with a smile: “Yes, and many.”
“Niger is rich in grain and animal husbandry, and also has a lot of domestic minerals.”
“Food? Livestock?” Sean looked incredulous, “Aren’t they desert areas?”
“You are talking about the north, and the south is dominated by savannahs and rainforests. The forest resources are very rich. Of course, I am talking about now, sooner or later, they will be cut down by them. Those chimpanzees don’t know what it means to protect forest resources.” Thompson Alves shrugged, “That’s why I said war is necessary, very necessary!”
“They are too prolific. They spend a lot of time every day for mating, and they reproduce wildly without providing labor. If you don’t want to let the trouble expand, the best way is to quickly consume the population through war. There is no way, since ancient times. This way.”
Having said that, Thompson Alves began to complain again, “There are a lot of messy international organizations shouting to promote medical services in Africa, it’s just **** crazy.”
“They just don’t understand the consequences of that, the population explodes and they eat everything they can eat like black bugs.”
Sean could sense that Thompson Alves really hated black Africans, but, “Okay, let’s not talk about them, let’s talk about Niger, I’m not interested in food and livestock, what else in Niger, I’m Speaking of minerals.”
“There are a lot of them. Oil and desert areas produce this. They are also rich in uranium ore and gold. By the way…” Thompson Alves pointed at Sean and smiled, “It is also rich in phosphate ore, with huge reserves. “
Sean: ? ? ?
“There are huge reserves of this thing in Africa, but no one wants to explore it.” Thompson Alves saw Sean staring, then laughed and said: “Don’t worry, it won’t affect you, after all Morocco’s phosphate mines It has been consumed by the whole world. In a place like Niger, there is no sea transportation, and the freight is higher than its own value. Who will it be mined and sold to? It will not pose a threat to Morocco at all.”
Sean was relieved, “Okay, gold, I like gold.”
“Who doesn’t like it.”
The two casually exchanged some views, all at the national level, strategic, and the specifics will be discussed when the time comes.
Having said that, in the end it’s about yourself.
“I remember Chad was rich in cotton and fur,” Sean said with a smile.
Thompson Alves nodded. In fact, Chad’s production is not very large. In the West African region controlled by France, 12 countries in 18 West African countries produce cotton. The most cotton-producing countries are Burkina Faso and Mali, followed by Chad, Central Africa, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Cameroon, Benin, etc.
But explaining this is not important.
“I’m promoting the development of Morocco’s textile industry, technology and equipment from the United States, use the cheap labor here for processing, and use the convenient sea trade to sell to Europe.”
Thompson Alves’ eyes lit up!
What is key information!
For a big man like Sean, a word is a fortune.
Whether the Thompson Alves family had a hand in the cotton trade in West Africa or the subsequent trade route from Morocco to Europe would give them control of a legitimate, sustainable and lucrative industry.
Cotton is a daily necessities of life. This industry can be developed sustainably for 10, 50, and 100 years. It is an industry that can be used as the foundation of a family.
There is too much to say about cotton, seed cotton and lint cotton, long-staple cotton and fine-staple cotton, sawtooth cotton and cot cotton, white cotton, yellow cotton, gray cotton and colored cotton…
There are also different grades, different fiber length, fiber color, strength, fineness, naturalness, elasticity, moisture absorption, dyeing, impurity and so on.
The more careful the classification, the more prosperous the industry is, and different countries have different classification standards, of which the most widely recognized is the American standard.
The United States has a history of formulating cotton standards for 80 years. It is classified by color and graded by color. There are complete categories of cotton standards including upland white cotton standard, color cotton standard, Pima cotton standard, length standard sample and fineness standard sample, etc.). Internationally recognized, accepted by the Cotton Standards Conference, and has a dominant position in the world.
This is not only due to the strength of the United States, but also the technical level of the American cotton textile industry is sufficiently developed.
Therefore, Sean’s use of American equipment and technology, combined with Morocco’s low-cost labor, coupled with the convenient geographical location of Europe, and the promotion at the national level, definitely has huge development prospects.
Thompson Alves is very satisfied with the information and money provided by Sean, and Sean is also very happy that Thompson Alves is willing to invest in this aspect.
In many cases, it is not a matter of knowing that an industry can make money. Morocco has good conditions in all aspects, but the problem is that the current cotton spinning market is relatively complete.
These cottons in Africa have a fixed place for digestion. For decades, now Sean wants to grab business from Europeans, so the first thing to solve is the supply problem!
This is his intention to win over Thompson Alves. In this war-torn region of Africa, is a French lieutenant general enough to participate in the division of interests?
Answer: Yes!
“I’ve figured out the reasons for you!” Sean said with a smile.
“Oh, talk.” Thompson Alves looked at Sean with interest.
“After our investigation, there is forced black labor in your cotton production. This is racial discrimination and is not in line with human rights!” Sean was serious.
At this moment, Sean inherited the fine tradition of Angklusaxon, the ancestors of Angklusaxon possessed the soul, and he was not fighting alone!
not alone!
Thompson Alves looked at Sean in shock, shameless!
Left-handed racism, right-handed human rights stick, two killer weapons, all invincible!
Sean hasn’t sacrificed environmental protection yet!
“When the time comes, I will find a group of black people to parade. I will arrange for someone to interview and let New Century Media publicize it on a large scale to ensure that they will know what it means to be powerful.”
“As for how to avoid forced labor?”
Sean said with a serious face: “I think it is a reasonable way to give half of the production to Mr. Thompson Alves for management!”
“Dear~www.mtlnovel.com~ my friend, I don’t know what to say, but it’s great!” Thompson Alves gave a thumbs up.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to get involved in this business before, but it was not easy to get a hand in the formed chain of interests, and it wasn’t that he could sell it after grabbing some output.
From planting to transportation, from processing to sales, companies hold shares with each other, and their interests are intertwined. They want to break, not to mention rebuild a complete industrial chain, but at least half of the problems must be solved.
But now Sean has appeared, American technical equipment, endorsed by the Moroccan state.
One needs the supply of raw materials and the other needs the market. This is called an adulterer and a whore, a match made in heaven!
The two picked up the wine glasses and touched them lightly, oh yeah!
