Yanei of Rebirth

A box in the Great Wall Club was filled with smoke.

Four brothers Liu Jun, Liu Zhaoyu, Ruan Weide, and Liu Zhaoshi sat around the table, and the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts.

When Liu Jun heard the news that Liu Zhaomin had an accident in the country of Amphila in West Africa, he immediately rushed over. Liu Zhaoyu and the three had been waiting here for a long time.As the person in charge of the largest private group in the country, Liu Zhaoyu and others are all deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, so they must attend the annual two sessions.When such a thing happened, everyone was very worried.

"Brother Zhaoyu, what's going on?"

Liu Jun frowned, smoking a cigarette, and asked. [

Liu Zhaoyu frowned even tighter, and said anxiously: "The news just came from Ivory Country that Zhao Min and several engineers and technicians were kidnapped by tribal armed forces..."

Liu Zhaoshi said bitterly: "I told him long ago not to go there, but he just didn't listen. That Ivory Country has been fighting for decades, and it's not peaceful at all. In order to get ore, this time I'm going to risk my life." It's..."

Liu Zhaomin is Liu Zhaoshi's biological brother, now that his brother is in trouble, it's no wonder Liu Zhaoshi is out of temper.

Of course, Liu Jun knew about Liu Zhaomin going to the Ivory Country to develop mineral resources.

This is an important step for Tengfei to implement the "private-run national war".After Liu Jincai accepted Xiaoqing's suggestion and officially launched the "private-run national war" plan, Tengfei Company acted as the vanguard of the charge.Dozens of companies directly or indirectly controlled by Tengfei Industrial Corporation have gone abroad and are flexing their muscles in Central Asia, Africa and Southeast Asia to seize the market gap caused by the financial crisis.Due to the impact of the financial crisis, many large international companies had to shrink their funds and retreat from the above-mentioned markets, trying to keep their main business intact.

Liu Zhaomin, as the vice chairman and executive vice president of Tengfei Industrial Corporation, went to Ivory Country in person, which was the most important part of it.

Ivory Country is a country in West Africa with a small land area.Of course, this so-called insignificance is in comparison with our country.If compared with neighboring countries, Ivory Country is not considered a small country.The country's vast reserves of mineral resources have historically attracted the attention of advanced industrial nations.However, the domestic situation in Ivory Country is also extremely complicated, with countless tribes and tribal armed forces.Tribal wars have continued for many years, leading to a nationwide civil war more than ten years ago, and the flames of war quickly spread to all parts of the country.

The cruelty of primitive tribal wars is hard for outsiders to imagine.Beheading and burial alive, which are considered taboos in the civilized world, are nothing more than commonplace in tribal wars.

When the war was at its most intense, hundreds of thousands of people died every day in the Ivory Country.

The consequences of the violent civil war were disastrous.With the evacuation of foreigners one after another, the originally basic industrial industry declined, various economic and people's livelihood facilities were destroyed, and the national economy collapsed rapidly.In recent years, under the continuous mediation of the international community, the warring parties stopped large-scale conflicts and reluctantly formed a fragile coalition government to take charge of the national power.

But small tribal conflicts have continued.Because the domestic situation in Ivory Country is unstable, no large consortiums and companies are willing to enter the country, so that the country has become one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world.

But the country's rich mineral resources are not fake.

Liu Zhaomin decided to make a "time difference", ventured into Amphora, cooperated with the government of the Ivory Country, and established an industrial company named "Jiang'an" to develop the country's mineral resources.

It should be said that the Ivory State government still welcomes Liu Zhaomin and Tengfei Industrial Corporation.

This country really needs foreign capital support.Years of war have made it impossible for Ivory Country to produce even the simplest industrial products, and it needs to rely on exporting diamonds in exchange for simple daily necessities.

Tengfei Industrial Corporation has always adhered to the path of serving the country through industry, and has great advantages in manufacturing.Liu Zhaomin brought a large amount of funds and machinery and equipment, and quickly established a simple factory and production line in the country to produce various daily industrial products that Ivory Country urgently needs.In less than a year, the "Jiang'an" Industrial Company has gained a firm foothold, becoming the largest "industrial group" and the largest "foreign consortium" in the Ivory Country, and has a great influence on the Ivory Country's coalition government.

"Zhaomin called not long ago, saying that the progress is going well, and that the scale of production is going to be expanded. At the same time, the mineral exploration team will be sent out, and the head office will be asked to increase funds and send additional management and technical personnel. We have also studied it. As soon as the two sessions closed, the funds, equipment and personnel were sent to him immediately, and such a thing happened unexpectedly..." Liu Zhaoyu shook his head and sighed as he spoke, "This primitive tribe in the Ivory Kingdom is very barbaric..."

Liu Jun asked: "Is there any news about brother Zhaomin now? Did those tribal armed forces make any specific demands?" Liu Zhaoyu shook his head.

Liu Zhaoshi said: "It would be great if they are willing to put forward conditions. If they want money, it will be fine. I'm afraid they don't want money..." Liu Jun comforted: "Brother, don't worry. The Ivory Kingdom has been fighting for so many years. No matter how primitive the tribe is, it is somewhat civilized, and it is not a primitive tribe that really eats blood.”[

In the past, there were indeed a large number of "cannibal" tribes in a backward country like the Ivory Country, but after so many years of civil wars, basically all tribes will be affected.

Except for the real primitive tribes in the deep mountains and old forests, the other tribes have more or less been influenced by the outside world and understand some basic "economic principles".It is expected that they detained Liu Zhaomin and others not for the purpose of enjoying it as a "big meal".

Liu Zhaoshi muttered, "I'm afraid they are some strangers..."

Strictly speaking, Liu Zhaoshi was a little helpless before, but after so many years of tempering, he has lost the energy he had before, and his mind and vision have been greatly broadened.However, when faced with such a major event, he was still a little impatient.

Liu Jun had to ignore him.In fact, Liu Jun's heart is not easy now.

"Brother Zhaoyu, I think this is the case. You should report this matter to Secretary Zhang immediately, and ask him to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and first negotiate with the government of Ivory Country through diplomatic channels to try to redeem him."

Liu Zhaoyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Now it can only be like this, although Liu Zhaoyu is very clear that the use of diplomatic means in a country like Ivory has very limited effect.

Ruan Weide, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Xiaojun, why don't you contact Xiaoqing. Maybe she can find a way."

Liu Zhaoshi's eyes lit up, and he echoed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, please contact Xiaoqing. She must have a way..."

Liu Zhaoshi is willing to try any method as long as he can rescue his brother as soon as possible.

Liu Junwei took the lead: "Well, I will contact her later."

Liu Jun didn't call Xiaoqing with his mobile phone, but went back to "Chunhuayuan", and used a confidential phone to call Xiaoqing, which was also the landline of Xiaoqing's office.

The security performance of wired communication is much higher than that of wired communication.

"Xiaojun, are you in the capital?"

Xiaoqing's delicate voice came from the phone, and it sounded very pleasant.She also knew that it was the period of the two sessions, and Liu Jun should be meeting in the capital.

"Well, in the capital..."

"No, you seem to be thinking?"

Xiaoqing originally wanted to tease her husband, but as soon as Liu Jun opened his mouth, she heard something unusual and asked immediately.

Liu Jun said in a deep voice: "Second brother had an accident in the African country of Ivory, and several staff members of his company were detained by the tribal armed forces of the Ivory country."

Xiaoqing was taken aback: "What? What happened? Didn't the second brother stay in the capital of Ivory Country? How could he be detained by the tribal armed forces?"

Despite the frequent wars in Ivory Country, the capital has been relatively safe in recent years, controlled by the most powerful tribal armed forces.Since Liu Zhaomin opened a company in Ivory Country, it is inevitable to establish a good relationship with the powerful tribe that controls the capital, otherwise there is no way to gain a foothold.Under normal circumstances, Liu Zhaomin would not leave the capital at will. [

"I'm not too sure about the specific situation. I heard from brother Zhaoyu that the second brother wanted to go to the mine to have a look. He brought engineering surveyors and was escorted by local tribal armed forces, but something happened. The information on Ivory Country is very good. underdeveloped..."

Liu Jun said a little irritably.

Liu Zhaomin was his first cousin, and Secretary Liu, who had always been calm when something like this happened, couldn't help being suspicious.Although he estimated that he could defeat the escort team, it would not be ordinary tribal armed forces who detained Liu Zhaomin and others. The purpose of detaining Liu Zhaomin and others should be to ask for ransom.But the so-called caring is chaotic. I don't know the specific situation now, and Secretary Liu is also very anxious.

Xiaoqing frowned and said, "Second brother is too impatient. This kind of thing needs to be done step by step. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Xiaoqing is telling the truth.Although the Ivory Country is in chaos, the westerners have all withdrawn. It is a good opportunity to infiltrate, but there is no rush. The situation must be stabilized first, and the tribal armed forces in power must establish a good alliance to help them gradually expand the actual control area. , and then the issue of mining mineral resources can be considered.

"Second brother's character, you also know that he is anxious."

Liu Jun felt the same way and replied.

Xiaoqing asked, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Liu Jun said: "Diplomatic channels are definitely going to be taken, but the effect is not expected to be very good. We and the Ivory Country are currently only at the level of diplomatic relations at the charge d'affaires level. We have to find a way to solve this matter from other aspects."

"Well, I think so too. The key is that there is too little information now, and I don't know what the other party means, so it's hard to start." "I'll ask you to do it."

Xiaoqing smiled, and then said seriously: "Okay, don't worry, I will act immediately. As soon as I have news, I will contact you immediately." (To be continued,)
