Chapter 468 The Upheaval of Trade

The first year of Xinghe, October 9th.

Li Qingye went west all the way, inspected the 8 industrial areas of the Numidia branch, then turned south and entered the Chad branch.

After more than half a month of looking around, he has an intuitive understanding of the Numidia branch and the Chad branch.

For example, the headquarters of the Chad branch where Li Qingye settled down at this time - the city of N'Djamena.

A huge airship logistics center has been established here, which is one of the industries of the Ceylon Ocean Transport Group.

The manager in charge of the Chad branch, Kent Alpha, is a tall black man, and he is introducing some situations of the Chad branch to Li Qingye.

"This logistics center is currently the largest in the entire central African region, and it is also an important channel for us to radiate influence to surrounding areas."

"I heard that armed forces attacked the airship in the landing stage?" Li Qingye calmly looked at the transport airship that was descending and ascending in the sky.

Alpha's expression was a little dignified: "Yes, it's mainly some local forces who don't know how to praise them. Under the instigation of European and American forces, they tried to take advantage of them. We have dispatched the air and space fleet to completely clear these obstacles."

"Well, there's no need to be too polite with them." Li Qingye didn't care too much about the lives of the locals.

If you don't deal with it harshly, those people will make more progress in the future, thinking that Homo sapiens company is easy to bully.

He very much agrees with Alpha's handling method. Only by using the most violent means of retaliation can he be used as an example, so that when the ghosts and monsters in those places do things in the future, they will weigh in advance whether they can withstand the retaliation of Homo sapiens.

"Through killing chickens and monkeys several times, there is currently no objection to our cooperation plan in the central African region. We have also carried out exploration and planning for the rich surface minerals in various places."

Li Qingye glanced at the holographic geological exploration map in Alpha's hand, which was covered with dense mineral symbols.

Especially in the inland areas of Africa, there are many rich minerals on the surface, including no less than 11 large iron mines, with reserves exceeding 273 billion tons. In addition, there are bauxite, coal mines, copper mines, lead-zinc mines, tin mines, phosphoric acid Salt mines and such.

The reason why there are such rich surface minerals is related to the social environment of this place.

After all, this place used to be a colony of the Europa people. Although it became independent one after another after World War II, most of the area is still an economic colony.

Coupled with the turmoil in these places every three days, there is no stable social environment to develop the mining industry.

After all, their mining companies are not fools. Although there are rich mineral resources here, the infrastructure is very backward, and there are not even a few railways. It is a sinkhole to exploit inland mineral resources and invest in large-scale transportation facilities.

Not to mention the unstable social environment.

Even France, which worked hard in Africa, only developed a part of the coastal plain with convenient transportation, and they were powerless for the inland.

Similar to base metals such as iron ore, European and American companies have iron mines in the west of the Kangaroo Country and Vale in the Redwood Federation. Why bother to mine in the interior of Africa.

It is precisely because of the low cost performance that the surface rich minerals in inland Africa are still undeveloped.

Unless it is precious metal mines and gemstone mines, the local forces have no interest in mining at all.

Relying on the hard power of Homo sapiens, the Char branch has missed a large number of surface rich ore in the inland areas of Africa.

In fact, most of the local forces in the inland areas of Africa welcome Homo sapiens companies to invest in mining. As long as Homo sapiens companies do not engage in other things, everyone can still be good friends.

This is mainly because the price of Homo sapiens is relatively fair, and the gold dollar is also very strong.

For example, the city of N'Djamena at this time is not only a logistics center, but also a trade center in central Africa.

The gold dollars obtained after selling mines must be consumed.

Otherwise, where did the mountains of containers at N'Djamena Airport come from? It's not because the demand in central Africa is very strong.

A large amount of steel bars, cement, hardware, furniture, electrical appliances, electronic products, medical and medical consumables, grain and food produced by Homo sapiens are dumped to the whole of Africa on a large scale.

The cheap and high-quality Homo sapiens products, with its fast and safe transportation channels, have made other foreign companies doing trade in Africa complain to the sky. They found that this normal trade competition cannot compete with Homo sapiens at all.

Take steel as an example. Homo sapiens produces rebar. The retail price per ton in Africa is 240 gold dollars, and door-to-door delivery is also included.

At present, the US dollar has depreciated by about 50% against the gold dollar, and 240 gold dollars is roughly equivalent to 720 US dollars.

The problem is that in the current global steel industry, European and American steel companies (including free associations) account for only about 15.6% of the global total output.

Far East steel companies with the largest production capacity accounted for about 42%, and Homo sapiens accounted for about 37%.

However, most of the Far East steel enterprises are now processing supplied materials, and the source of their iron ore is Homo sapiens company, which can basically be regarded as an extension of the Homo sapiens company system.

For every ton of steel produced by Far East steel companies, they can obtain a nominal profit of 1 to 5 gold dollars and a quota of 10 tons of iron ore for their own use.

That is to say, if the Far East steel enterprises produce 1 million tons of crude steel or customized steel for Homo sapiens, they can obtain a purchase quota of 5000 million tons of iron ore with a grade of no less than 50%. Within this quota, the price of iron ore It is basically the same as the internal price of Homo sapiens.

Under such circumstances, how could Far East Steel Enterprises give up the cooperation with Homo sapiens.

You know, just relying on the rated profit of 5 to 10 gold dollars per ton of steel, this is guaranteed income from droughts and floods, and is not affected by market fluctuations.

Otherwise, what does the Far East use to maintain investment and development in Central Asia? It’s not cheap steel, plus Lucia’s cheap oil, gas and food, and Central Asia’s own mineral resources.

In addition, Far East companies have also survived tenaciously in West Asia, Latin America and Africa.

It is one of the few forces that can barely compete with Homo sapiens.

Of course, this is just that Homo sapiens has not fully exerted its strength.

In addition, the forces in Asia, Africa and Latin America are worried about Homo sapiens companies doing things, and they intend to keep companies in the Far East, and even offer help, in order to prevent Homo sapiens companies from being dominant.

As for European and American companies, it is also through this method that they barely survived.

But how long they can last depends on whether they can bear this kind of low profit, or even lose money for a long time.

Anyway, Li Qingye is not optimistic about the strong support of European and American companies in Asia, Africa and Latin America. This kind of behavior that violates the laws of the market is still not a long-term solution for private companies, even with subsidies from the United States of America and the Europa Consortium.

Unless Homo sapiens suddenly blew itself up, Europe and the United States will be able to recover, otherwise it will be a vicious circle.

And will Homo sapiens blew itself up?

Obviously it is impossible.

Li Qingye has made a lot of preparations, even if he is assassinated now, Homo sapiens company can still be maintained.

Of course, the possibility of his being assassinated is very small.

He is active within the company and is surrounded by special security teams. On the surface, there is a special security battalion of 500 people, and there are at least four security teams that can quickly support at any time.

In addition, there are maritime escort fleets, air and space escort fleets, satellite defense and monitoring systems around.

Under this level of security, the successful assassination of Li Qingye is difficult for conventional forces.
