Chapter 909: Meeting with Gogol (please collect, recommend, and vote monthly)
One day later, Ali Taseroff’s private plane landed on the runway of Benghazi Airport. It was obvious how eager this guy was to develop Africa.
"Mr. Grylls, long time no see." Ali quickly walked down the ladder and hugged Xu Chuan warmly.
To be honest, Xu Chuan still has a good impression of this guy. When Alex's father was killed, Ali had not yet fully controlled Gogol. Seriously, this matter had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, this man had a good vision. When Zetlov turned all his efforts to the West and kept eating his capital in the energy field, Gogol saw opportunities in Africa.
For Xu Chuan, this market is huge. As long as you don’t plan to go it alone, he very much welcomes cooperation with each other.
"Long time no see." After exchanging pleasantries with each other, they got into the car. Ali got into his own car. Of course, he couldn't take Umbrella's transportation, so he still had to be wary of others.
Back at the hotel arranged by Gogol, Ali and Xu Chuan started a formal meeting. They were both very busy and there was no need to waste time on pleasantries and testing each other.
Things have not yet been settled. It would be really ridiculous if we fell into the dilemma of uneven distribution of the spoils at this time.
The two people met just to confirm the cooperative relationship. Gogol was a little more anxious because Ali knew that the other party had already begun to contact Nansudan. If everything goes well, the two parties are likely to reach a cooperation agreement.
Umbrella will provide defense services, including training special forces, protecting important facilities, even helping them introduce advanced weapons, etc., and assisting in the fight against the KB organization.
Accordingly, they will definitely ask for the mining rights of some minerals, such as oil and gold.
Gogol has indeed taken a step slower, but Umbrella seems to be intending to pull him along, which makes Ari Taseloff feel incredible.
"The current chaos in South Sudan cannot be quelled by Umbrella alone. Of course, doing business requires a stable environment. After all, no one wants the oil pipeline to be blown up every three days. Libija is a very good person. Good example.”
Xu Chuan explained his thoughts to the other party very sincerely, "Up to now, the oil pipelines in the oil-producing areas have not been fully restored, and we have paid a huge price to maintain another land transportation line."
Ali expressed his understanding. He had previously let Gogol's intelligence system know as much as possible about Umbrella, and these things were all on his desk.
"It's true. We businessmen don't want war, but war is inevitable." Ali Taseloff, a warmonger who has been working for decades, had a compassionate expression, which made Xu Chuan's Expression management almost broke the defense.
Hum, you shameless bastard.
“Yeah, in the 21st century, humans are still fighting and killing, and there is no future at all.” Xu Chuan complained, and then laughed together with Ali.
The leaders of the two companies determined the basic intention to cooperate in the restaurant of this hotel. Of course, specific things need to be determined by others, which is not what they need to care about.
Of course, Xu Chuan will not kick HCLI out. This project now needs people to implement it, and the initial investment will be a huge amount.
Furthermore, after Nansudan became independent, local tribes in various oil-producing areas and Zhongyangzhengfu fought over the distribution of oil revenue. The level of chaos there was no less than that in Libiya now, and may even be more serious.
After South Sudan became independent, 75% of the oil and gas resources that previously belonged to Sudan were assigned to South Sudan, but the oil and gas processing center and oil pipelines were assigned to the north. Therefore, crude oil from the south must be transported to Calgary in the north through oil pipelines. It is refined at the Tumu Refinery and then exported through Sudan Port in the north.
Therefore, the North, which has had its resources taken away, requires the Southern government to pay corresponding fees, while the South thinks that the Northern government is too open-minded, and the amount of this fee has not been negotiated until now.
Most of these oil pipelines and refineries were built by China. China had a huge investment in Sudan before, but now it may all be in vain like Libiya's.
It’s up to you to take advantage of this. If Huaxia Petroleum doesn’t want to acquire those oil fields, Mr. Xu plans to take them directly. Anyway, it will be cheaper for foreigners in the end.
"Speaking of South Sudan, did your men capture a few people there? I'm sorry, they are Gogol's people. To show my sincerity, I will pay a ransom of 100,000 per person." Ali finally said this. It happened. Umbrella's people caught a few people watching in South Sudan, and they are still keeping them.
Xu Chuan looked surprised, "Really, there is such a thing? Don't worry, I will ask them to let him go. This is completely a misunderstanding." Xu Chuan didn't say he didn't want any money. His people were on a business trip. Travel expenses are also needed, isn’t that right?
Ali smiled and didn't take this matter to heart. In his opinion, if the other party didn't discover Gogol's people, it would be too amateurish, and he needed to seriously consider the cooperative relationship between the two parties.
"To be honest, my goal was originally to put it in West Africa. France has been operating there for many years. It is said that these areas will bring nearly 500 billion US dollars in net profits to France every year. As long as we drive these wastes out, many things will be off the shelf."
Gogol obviously has his own plan, but Ali also knows that it is impossible to do it alone
This is true. Even in the 21st century, although French West Africa has been nominally disintegrated, in fact these countries still exist as French colonies.
Just like the West African CFA franc is still used in eight countries, and these African countries are required to keep 50% of their foreign exchange reserves in the French treasury, and these countries need to apply for a French franc if they want to use these foreign exchange reserves.
Of course France will also provide financial protection to these countries.
Gogol wanted to take action in West Africa, of course because Maozi had long been greedy for these resources. In Xu Chuan's eyes, now is not the time. West Africa has not yet escaped the control of France. It should take a few years to wait. If it enters now, it will cause a serious conflict with France.
Umbrella won't do it anyway. If Gogol thinks he has no problem, then they can do whatever they want.
"The negotiations on Nansudan are expected to be concluded soon. I'm ready to send a team of people there first." Xu Chuan told Ali about his plan.
The defense cooperation agreement should be the easiest to reach. Now the Nansudan Zhongyang Palace is in urgent need of people who can help them solve the problem.
They also need the support of external forces. A multinational interest group involving Maozi, suspected of being the United States and Italy, can easily gain the trust of these compradors.
Ali Taselov saw that the other party was so sincere, so of course he had to express his position, "If there are no other problems with our cooperation, Gogol will also send people there."
As for whether the two parties will do their own thing or cooperate to establish an independent company in the future, we can discuss it again.
"I plan to go to South Sudan later to see the situation." Ali has basically made up his mind. The things they discussed are in line with his African plan, so he can go ahead and check it out first.
As for whether the two sides will have differences due to other matters in the future, Ali thinks that is for sure, but at present both sides have value for each other. Xu Chuan counted the time. He had been here for almost a week, and the domestic basketball celebrity game held in the name of UC Video Website should be about to start.
"I will go back to China first, and then fly directly to South Sudan." Xu Chuan looked at Ali's confused eyes, "Whether you believe it or not, I have a basketball celebrity game that I need to participate in."
Ali Taselov laughed, and he almost forgot that the guy in front of him was still a celebrity.
“I saw your performance in Houston before. It was great.” Ali picked up the glass and took a sip of champagne. “Maybe you really found the wrong job.”
Xu Chuan shrugged, "Who knows."
The result of the meeting with Gogol was quite satisfactory. Ali left Benghazi the next day and may have gone to Sudan first.
Xu Chuan saw the other person off at the airport, and the two shameless men showed reluctance to leave.
Waving towards the business jet flying into the sky, Xu Chuan took out his phone and called Nikita.
Let her pay attention to Gogol's movements at any time. During this period, the opponent is likely to change. Similarly, the pressure on Nikita and others in Europe will be much less. This is a conspiracy. It caught Ali thinking The idea of breaking away from the Zetlov Group and planning to develop in Africa.
"You still have to pay attention to safety. Although I have tested Ali's thoughts before, there is a high probability that this guy has no intention of helping Smike to the end, but you should be careful."
Some things are obvious. When Nikita started to deal with Sergei Smike, Gogol's Ali Taselov could easily connect this matter with Umbrella, because What a coincidence.
Many things do not require any evidence, and Nikita's existence is not a secret. In addition, some clues can completely determine Umbrella's plan. Xu Chuan's current idea is that Ali does not intend to hook up with Smike. My own Gogol.
Now that he has a legitimate excuse to concentrate his efforts on Africa, there is really no need to fight Umbrella.
“I’ll go back to China first, and then go to Nansudan to check the situation, and then we’ll meet up in Bai’e.” Xu Chuan said about his plan, and he would definitely help the little pet get Sergei Smike down within this year.
The matter was settled like this. The attack in Benghazi was still reported in the local media, and Stevens was transported back to the United States as quickly as possible on a transfer plane. It was possible to welcome the hero for a while. It is said that the streets are empty.
American Commander-in-Chief James Sawyer personally went to the airport to greet the hero and delivered a speech at the scene.
More details were dug out by the media, including the CIA intelligence station less than two kilometers away from the main airport, and the several GRSs who defied the station commander’s orders and went to support them, plus the one that was also attacked by a large number of extremists in the end. Information station.
The new CIA director George Blake came forward to explain that the behavior of the intelligence station commander was very professional. There was no problem with the station commander's choice at that time when there were almost no decent armed forces. Of course, he also praised the GRS for not being afraid. Dangerous spirit.
Although everyone still has some doubts, such as why support is so slow, the overall public opinion has not had much negative impact on the American government. It is obvious that someone is controlling media reports.
“Alex, although this operation failed, it is not your responsibility.” Alex, who had returned to the New Jersey base, was standing in front of Amanda.
Amanda is appeasing this very important chess piece in front of her. She also hopes to use Alex to indirectly control the behemoth Zetloff.
Alex was noncommittal, but she remembered what Xu Chuan told her, "Can we start to carry out the things you promised me before?"
Amanda looked at the other party, knowing clearly what Alex was talking about. She nodded, "I never said I wouldn't do it, but I was waiting for the right time."
“So, is now the right time?” Alex had a dissatisfied expression on her face, which made people feel that she was very anxious about this matter.
"Okay, since you killed Anton Kocher, Sergey Smike has lost several capable men in the past few months. This is indeed the time for us to take action."
Amanda changed her words and looked at the collar around Alex's neck, "The jewelry is very beautiful and suits you very well."
“Really? I think so too.” Alex subconsciously touched the small platinum bell, and the smile on her face became even bigger.
Amanda nodded, "You take a rest first, we also need to make some preparations."
Looking at Alex walking out of the office, Amanda fell into deep thought. The girl's expression said everything.
No one knows Alex's mental state better than her. The experience of losing her family in her early years has put her temperament in an abnormal state. Although she usually looks very proud of herself, she is actually extremely longing in her bones. Warmth and caring from others.
Coupled with the extremely painful and humiliating experience of being trafficked to the United States as a child, she also felt filled with inferiority complex.
According to Amanda's analysis, Alex prefers a strong man who can give her an absolute sense of security, and is eager to surrender to him. Could it be that she has found it now?
Amanda crossed her arms on her chest, thinking about what happened in Benghazi, 'Could it be Umbrella? ’, she thought of the Chinese man who was asking for a lot of money.
She never thought that Alex and Nikita had really lost contact. That woman had a great influence on Alex. Even if Nikita was the murderer of Alex's father, that girl still had a great influence on Alex. You won't really turn against the other party.
So the current situation is that Alex has reached some kind of agreement with Umbrella and Nikita, and their target must also be Zetlov.
A smile appeared on Amanda's face, maybe Zetrov and Nikita can be solved together this time.
After returning to her dormitory, Alex took off her clothes and walked into the bathroom. She turned on the shower and let the water wash over her body. Her tired body and spirit were fully relieved.
Placing both hands on the collar around her neck, Alex immediately thought of that guy in her mind, and almost at the same time, an electric current ran through her body like a conditioned reflex.
"Woo", a murmur came from her throat, and her right hand couldn't help but move downward. Just when she was about to touch the mysterious area, Alex finally remembered someone's request when she left Benghazi.
"Before you see me next time, you are not allowed to engage in any obscene behavior." The other party pinched her chin with an unknown smile on her face, "My little pet should be able to do it."
