Arms starts with hyenas in the Middle East

Chapter 413: Entering Central Africa
The atmosphere in the office gradually became ambiguous. Sean and Evelyn were arm in arm, talking and chatting, and only after omitting several thousand words did they gradually return to calm.

This is really a physical job. If it were in the past, Sean would certainly be able to do it with ease, but things are different now. Sean is really a little exhausted from doing this kind of thing. After all, this is also considered strenuous exercise.

Sean went out, opened the office door, told Lin Ke to call Simon over, then picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.

beep...beep...

"Mr. Sean, is there anything I can do for you?"

The voice of Wicks, the head of Dane Military Resources Company in Iraq, came from the other end of the phone. He hadn't received a call from Sean for a long time, but his tone was still slightly respectful. After Sean wiped out other opponents of YLK, Dane Company knelt down early and became a knife in his hand. Life was quite comfortable. Even the performance in the Middle East was higher than before. This was just the cooperation between the two parties in YLK.

If possible, Wicks also wanted to follow Sean to eat some meat and drink some soup in Africa. Moreover, there was no conflict of interest between the two parties, or the conflict of interest could be ignored. Dane Company was just a simple PMC company, and Sean's RFG Group's main business was arms. Not only was there no conflict between the two parties, but Dane Company could also purchase weapons and equipment from Sean's RFG Group at a lower price. As for RFG Group's PMC business, there was no conflict between the two parties to seize the market. Sometimes, employees of both parties would even cooperate with each other. After all, it was not the main business, and Sean did not take it so seriously. If there was, there was, and if there was not, then forget it. He was more Buddhist. The main significance of White Dove Security's existence was to protect RFG, not to make profits alone.

The arms market is large enough, so Sean's focus is on arms, and he acts more domineeringly and unscrupulously in this regard. If he insists on seizing the PMC market, other PMC companies will stand up to deal with him together, and coupled with the targeting of arms dealers, it can be said that he is attacked from both sides. RFG cannot withstand such a situation at present. Of course, it must sacrifice the small to protect the big. One cannot be too greedy, otherwise others will unite to exclude him, resulting in more loss than gain.

"I have a project for you to work on. Are you interested?"

Sean said, holding the phone.

"Hmm? I wonder what project Mr. Sean is talking about. I think I would be very interested."

Wicks' eyes lit up immediately when he heard that. A project that Sean needed to work on together must be profitable and lucrative, otherwise the other party would not choose to drag him into it. Moreover, Sean was mainly engaged in business in Africa. This might be an opportunity for him to enter the African market. After all, he was only the head of Dane Military Company YLK, but Dane Military Company had no competitiveness in the African market. If he could make a lot of profit for the company in Africa, he might be able to take charge of African affairs in the future, which would be much better than staying in YLK. He couldn't wait to go to Africa and work together with Sean... Oh no, it's a powerful alliance.

"The situation in Central Africa is getting more and more chaotic. My main business is in West Africa and North Africa. As for Central Africa, I am ready to enter the market. If you have an idea, you can tear a piece of meat from there. After all, there is no money to be made by guarding a small piece of land like Iraq."

As soon as Sean heard the other party's tone, he knew that this guy had probably been eyeing Africa for a long time, but had never found the right opportunity. The other party was only the head of YLK and did not have many employees. If he plunged into Africa but did not get enough benefits, Wicks would also be held accountable, so the other party had never thought of developing business in Africa before.

After all, the interests in Africa are complicated and each PMC company has its own market. Not to mention other things, Deyang International alone has more than 3,000 employees in Africa, and Shamrock also has more than 3,000 employees in Africa. MRRI Military Resources Company is not to be outdone. Of course, in this regard, XE Company (Blackwater Company) also has thousands of employees in Africa. In addition, there is no need to say more about South African EO. Although its headquarters is in the Bahamas, the entire South African market is basically controlled by this company.

As a foreign PMC company, the first thing you have to face is the exclusion of other PMC companies that have deep roots in Africa. The pie is so small, and if there is one more person to share the pie, each person will get a smaller share. Who would be willing to spit out the benefits they have already enjoyed?
Therefore, if a foreign PMC company blindly plunges into the African market, it will most likely run into a wall and suffer a bloody nose. With the size of the YLK branch of Dane Company, it can't even make a splash. Even if the entire Dane Company enters the market, it may not be able to successfully get a share of the pie. This is why Dane Company did not set up a branch in Africa, because it is like a hedgehog here, it is difficult to start and it is easy to get pricked and bleed.

But with Sean leading the way, it would be much easier for Wicks to expand the market in Central Africa. Although Sean's current base is in Mali and Libya, it would be easy for him to enter Central Africa. Besides, Sean's main business is arms, not PMC, so he is not competing with these guys for the market. He can even give up most of the PMC market and make a fortune just by selling arms.

As for why Dane Company was brought in, it was because Dane Company and Sean currently had a cooperative relationship. All weapons and equipment of this company were currently purchased from Sean. Coupled with the close cooperation with Wicks, the relationship between the two parties was naturally good. Moreover, Dane Company and Sean were at a disadvantage in the cooperation, and Sean could control the other party. In this way, if the other party cooperated with Sean in Central Africa, then both sides could tear off a piece of meat in Central Africa and put it in their mouths.

As far as Sean can remember, the civil war in the Central African Republic should have started in 2013, which means it will break out next year. In fact, there are already some signs of this. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is also in chaos and there is no peace at all. These are all green US dollars.

"That's great. Mr. Sean, I have long wanted to eat a piece of meat in Africa, but it is not easy to get in. If Mr. Sean is willing to be the guide, I will definitely follow Mr. Sean's lead. I believe our Boss will also be very excited!"

Wicks' eyes became brighter and brighter, and the greed in his eyes was almost transparent. Although he was following behind the RFG Group to eat meat, as long as there was meat to eat, it was enough. He didn't care whether he was following behind others or not. As long as he could earn a lot of dollars, let alone follow Sean's lead, even if he was asked to lick Sean's ass, he would not hesitate to show the other party what a silver tongue is!

Earning US dollars is not bad!

"Very good, then get ready to enter. The market there will be huge, very huge. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is now a big interest plate in Central Africa. The rebels and government forces are fighting each other, and the rebels from Rwanda and Uganda are coming in. It's extremely chaotic. You can first buy a piece of land in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and build a military base to gain a foothold, and then compete with those vultures for food. I will provide you with support."

Sean licked his dry lips. When Wicks entered Central Africa, he was naturally needed to provide weapons and equipment. Once he helped the other party to gain a foothold, it would also mean that he would also gain a foothold there. The next step would be to divide the interests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He would be responsible for transporting the weapons and equipment, and other PMCs would be responsible for digesting them. As for some companies that were unwilling to use the weapons and equipment he provided, it didn't matter. They could talk slowly. There was no arms dealer in the world that was cheaper and provided better services than his RFG Group.

As for not being able to reach an agreement?
That would be easier. He couldn't just enter the venue and drive the other party away, but he could sell more powerful weapons and equipment to local armed forces and the other party's competitors at a cheaper price. Then the other party couldn't blame him if they were driven out.

Missiles, planes, tanks, and the customers can be other PMCs, rebels and government forces, just to make them use their dog brains to beat the pig brains out.

Since it's already so messy, it's better to keep it that way. Otherwise, with so many people eating from the same pot, how can they eat without making things messy?
As far as he knows, Blackwater, Clover Jungle, and Deyang International all have employees in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As for other large and small PMCs, there are even more of them, and there are also some illegal mercenaries who make a living there.

"I understand. Mr. Sean, I will seize the opportunity!"

Wicks' tone was slightly excited, but he was suppressed and had no choice. If he could gain a foothold for the company in Africa, he would definitely be the head of the Africa region in the future and get a promotion and a pay rise. Although the environment in Africa was relatively difficult, he was such a diligent and hard-working person.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

After hanging up the phone, Wicks took several gulps of coffee, calmed down his excitement, picked up his phone and called the current president of Dane Military Company.

"Wex, what's going on?"

Eric Enx, the current president of Dane Military Corporation, answered the phone with a puzzled tone. Wicks usually wouldn't call unless there was something wrong. The last time he received a call from him was when Sean was at the gates of the city and almost killed him. But now the cooperation between the two parties is going very smoothly. It can't be that he is being attacked again, right?

"Boss, I'm sorry to call you so late. I hope I didn't disturb your rest. I have some very important news that I can't wait to inform you!"

Weeks didn't know what the other party was thinking. He was a little excited. When he thought about the green dollars lining up to enter his pocket in the future, he felt a little proud. "Oh? I hope it's good news, not a knock on the door like last time."

Eric's heart skipped a beat when he heard something wrong in the other party's tone. He heaved a sigh of relief when the other party spoke the following words. It didn't sound like bad news, which made him look forward to it.

"Boss, I think it's time for our Dane Company to enter the African market!"

Weeks said slowly in a deep voice.

"Huh? Weeks, you know what you're talking about?"

Eric's eyelids jumped. The African market, didn't he want to enter?
It’s because I can’t get in!

Why did Weeks suddenly bring up this matter?

Could it be that he suddenly had something to rely on?
Sean!

In an instant, Eric thought of Sean, because Sean was the only one who was making a lot of money in Africa. If Sean was willing to be the guide, it would not be impossible for Dane Company to enter the market.

"It's Mr. Sean. He just called and told me that we can enter Central Africa and he will provide support!"

Wicks told Eric everything he had just said to Sean on the phone and explained it in detail.

"In that case, then go for it. I will recruit some more people for you. You must gain a foothold. If you succeed, you will be the person in charge of our Dane Military Company in Africa!"

Eric was overjoyed when he heard this. Everyone wants to expand the market. If Wicks can gain a foothold in Africa with the help of Sean, it will mean green US dollars. With money, Dane Company will be able to develop further.

"Thank you for your generosity, Boss. I won't let you down!"

Wicks couldn't wait to make the call just to get the matter settled. He didn't want to work hard for a long time only to have someone else take advantage of his efforts. Although this possibility was not high, he had to take precautions. Moreover, getting more support from the company would make him more confident.

"I believe you, Weeks, so have a good dream tonight!"

"Thanks for your trust."

……

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

"Enter."

There was a knock on the office door, and Sean turned around and casually asked the other person to come in.

"Boss, you're looking for me?"

Simon pushed the door open after getting permission.

"Simon, I want you to go to the Never Set Sun."

Sean turned to Simon and said.

"What do you need me to do?"

Simon was a little less frugal with his words than before. In the past, his answer would have been "OK", and then he would have waited for Sean's next words.

"I have arranged for Taylor to assassinate William. You will leave with him tomorrow. The tickets have been booked for you."

Sean took a sip of the coffee on the table and continued, "I know you were once a member of the British Royal Boat Fleet, so what I want you to do this time is very simple. You don't need to do anything. All you have to do is assist him, pick him up, and then report to me after he succeeds."

Hearing this, Simon fell into a brief silence, then nodded and said, "I understand."

"Simon, the glory and vows you made have long since left you. You are living for yourself now. Don't feel any psychological burden. You did a great job last time, didn't you?"

Sean stood up and patted Simon on the shoulder to comfort him.
