Red Alert: I am a sheikh in the Middle East

Kurchik sent him a message.

This white-haired arms dealer just landed at Cairo Airport.

And was on his way to Sausily, and was eager to meet.

Zhang Ga could vaguely guess why Kurchik was so anxious to see him.

It's not for buying an assault vehicle, it should be for the 35% commission.

But Zhang Ga thought of Bugacha Thorpe's attitude, shook his head, and secretly warned himself not to act too hastily.

……

A high-end restaurant in a wealthy area in the urban area.

Zhang Ga and Li Yiman met in a small box.

When Zhang Ga arrived, Li Yiman was already sitting inside ordering food.

Upon seeing him, Li Yiman put down the menu and said with a playful smile, "How do you feel?"

Zhang Ga smiled awkwardly, and said: "Mr. Thorpe is indeed a powerful man, he has a lot of aura."

Unexpectedly, Li Yiman curled his lips in disdain, and said: "The old man pretends to be aggressive all the time, and it's annoying to watch!"

Zhang Ga: "..."

After ordering two dishes, the menu was handed over.

This is western food, so Zhang Ga ordered two steaks, a salad, and a mushroom soup.

"By the way, Auntie said that Mr. Thorpe is going to run for election. What's the situation?" Putting down the menu, Zhang Ga raised his head and asked.

"Hehe, she probably told you on purpose." Li Yiman pouted and complained, "My mother is also [-]-minded now. She doesn't say anything, but she thinks about becoming the president's wife!"

Zhang Ga was surprised: "Mr. Thorpe is going to run for president?"

Li Yiman shook his head and said, "It hasn't reached this point yet, he is going to run for the Minister of Defense."

Li Yiman then explained that in a country like Sosili, in terms of real power, the Minister of Defense may be more solid than the President.

Of course, this is a separate comparison of the two.

In fact, in Sosili, these two positions can be held concurrently...

"You guys are still ruthless!" After Zhang Ga heard this, he could only marvel, "Then what did Auntie mean when she told me on purpose?"

"Testing you!" Li Yiman said bluntly, "There are three powerful figures in the Sossili military, and they all want to run for this position. The principle is that only those who have a clear advantage in strength over the other two can win the election."

"Because after taking this position, you can mobilize all the troops of the three families. If you don't have an advantage in your own strength, you can't overwhelm the other two. The election is also a white election."

Zhang Ga was stunned, and asked with a smile: "Then, Mr. Thorpe doesn't have the upper hand?"

"He's not close!" Li Yiman shook his head. "The standards of the Sossilians are simple and rough. Whether they are strong enough or not depends on three points: the number of people, equipment, and money!"

After chatting for a while, Zhang Ga also had a general understanding of the situation of the three domestic elections in Suosili.

Bugacha Thorpe is indeed close, none of the three key elements has an advantage.

In general, the support rate among the upper echelons of Sosili is currently ranked third.

And the gap with No.2 is a bit big.

The top two have their own advantages.

One is economically very strong, occupying several important ports in Sossily, and has 30% ownership of the most important port of Borapei!

You must know that the customs revenue of Borapei Port once accounted for 85% of the entire Sosily budget revenue!

As for the other, because of the support of the North African Garrison, although the equipment level is second-hand, the quality is basically on par with the French Garrison.

Moreover, this person has monopolized the export of domestic animal husbandry. At present, Sussili's largest export every year is livestock.

Therefore, not only the military strength is the first, but also the economic strength should not be underestimated.

"What does Mr. Thorpe have?" Zhang Ga asked curiously.

"He has several mines."

Chapter 127 There is a mine at home, but no money

Bugacha Thorpe does occupy several mines in the country.

Unfortunately, the mining technology and equipment in Sossili are quite backward.

And there is basically no ability to refine ore.

Coupled with the extremely bad transportation problems, the annual income these mines can bring to Bugacha Thorpe is very limited.

But in fact, in terms of the total amount, the wealth in Bugacha Thorpe's hands far exceeds that of the other two.

The problem is still difficult to realize.

The food has arrived, and the steak is hot.

"He is currently solving the problem of the money bag." Li Yiman said while eating, "I plan to give up part of the equity in one of the mines and hand it over to some mature mining companies for mining, so I have been busy with bidding and interviews these days investors."

"Then what does this have to do with me? Why test me?" Zhang Ga asked strangely after eating a piece of steak.

Li Yiman said: "Try your courage, I can't figure out what you want to do."

Zhang Ga smiled, while lowering his head to eat, while thinking about the meaning.

He thought: Bugacha Thorpe deliberately set a low price that I could not accept, and he had to go through Mtamba's system just to test my courage?

How to try?

What about after the trial?How about being bold, and what about being small?

Zhang Ga pondered in his heart, as if he had captured a little inspiration.

But this kind of inspiration is vague, making him unable to grasp it.

"After finding investment, he will buy arms, right?" Zhang Ga asked.

Li Yiman nodded and said: "Yes. The other two are French-style equipment, and the other is Mi-style equipment. The old man's army is also Mi-style, but because of the other one, he has not been able to get a batch of new equipment a year ago. .”

"But now his military equipment is constantly depleting, so he has to go to the arms market to find scattered sources of supply, but it is impossible to gather a large number of the same model and the same standard from scattered sources, which will definitely affect the overall combat effectiveness."

There must be all kinds of equipment in scattered sources. Rice, Soviet, Mao, and Chinese styles, including British and French styles, are all flooded in the market.

However, the number of weapons that the army upgrades every year is very large. If it only relies on scattered sources of goods, the final result is likely to form a miscellaneous army, made by all countries.

If it is necessary to pursue a unified system, there may be many people who can only fight with bare hands.

Although Li Yiman said very vaguely, Zhang Ga could also guess that it must be the one with a competitive relationship, which blocked the supply of Bugacha Thorpe to suppress competitors.

Even a little more conspiracy theory, maybe behind that house is the secret support of the Americans, intending to support a puppet to come to power.

The remaining family was backed by the Fadlanders, and in the end there was only Bugacha Thorpe left alone.

With such an assumption, the whole pattern became clear on the spot.

And if this is the case, even if Mr. Thorpe wants to replenish equipment through scattered sources, it may be very difficult.

Because the arms market in this area is still under the control of the Fardlanders...

In other words, Bugacha Thorpe is now facing a double attack!

If he thinks about it in this direction, Zhang Ga will suddenly see the light!

"Book two boxes for me tonight, one big and one small, just stay here, and you come too." Zhang Gajian stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, "Also, give me and Mr. Thorpe a bite, we The company is also interested in his mine. You are also a senior executive of our company, so you should work harder on this matter, and we negotiated a five-point dividend for you."

"Five points in total, or the five points in your hand?" Li Yiman asked.

Zhang Ga didn't raise his head and said: "If I want to own more than 51% of the shares, you can negotiate according to 56%. Does that make sense?"

"understand!"

……

In the suburban manor, Li Yiman saw his mother at home.

Li Ziwei is in the garden, meticulously pruning a row of roses as tall as a person.

"What about him?" Li Yiman asked with his hands in his pockets, chewing gum.

Li Ziwei kept moving her hands, and said with a smile, "Can't you show some respect to your father?"

"Hehe, are you still meeting people from the mining company?" Li Yiman pulled out his hands, hugged his chest, and asked casually.

"Well, two friends from China came here today. They are very sincere. They have a good talk and have a great chance."

Li Ziwei put down the gardening scissors and picked up the watering can to spray water on the plants to moisturize them.

When the mother and daughter stood together, there was indeed a sense of déjà vu as sisters.

"It looks like he's in a hurry?" Li Yiman asked carelessly.

Li Ziwei nodded: "Yes."

"Our company also wants to get mines!" Li Yiman raised his chin and said, "Let's give an internal price, and don't let other people get involved. It's easy to pick and choose."

Li Ziwei was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Your company? Zhang Ga's company?"

"Yes, Zhenhua Energy!"

"How many shares do you own in the company?" Li Ziwei asked.

"What shares?" Li Yiman was also taken aback for a moment, "Zhang Ga promised to give me 5 points in the mine."

Li Ziwei laughed angrily: "You are really...one day you will be sold and you will have to count the money. How did I give birth to you such an idiot!"

"Am I stupid?" Li Yiman pouted and muttered.

……

In the reception room, Chen Zicheng rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Mr. Thorpe can approve our plan, it is really an honor! Our reputation in the industry of Hongshan Mining is beyond doubt, so this mine is entrusted to us for operation. It will bring Mr. Thorpe a very handsome profit!"

On the side, Dai Ling, who was wearing exquisite makeup and quite sexy clothes, kept nodding with a charming smile all the time.

At this time, Li Ziwei, who was dressed in a silk robe, gently pushed the door in, holding a pot of freshly brewed tea in her hand.

First poured two cups of tea for the guests and said, "Please."

Then he walked up to Bugacha Thorpe and whispered a few words in his ear.

Chapter 128 Do you really want to attack the North African Garrison?

Dinner time.

In the big box of the restaurant, the two bodyguards brought by Kurchik, nine top mercenaries, Sanpao and Crow, etc., were fully seated.

In the small box next door, there were only four people sitting.

Zhang Ga, Li Yiman, Kurchik, and Gao Qiang.

When Gao Qiang saw Zhang Ga, he said happily, "When I first received the news, I really thought something happened to you!"

"Fate is too big, I can't die." Zhang Ga said with a smile.

He and Representative Gao have now experienced life and death once. In other words, they are brothers who have carried guns together, so their relationship is much closer than when they first met.

Gao Qiang smiled and said, "Saving your life is more important than anything else."

But among the four, Kurchik was not in such a good mood.

This white-haired arms dealer had been frowning since the first meeting, and now he drank two glasses of wine as soon as he sat down.

Zhang Ga saw it in his eyes, like a mirror in his heart, and knew that he was for the 35% commission.

There was no word of consolation on his lips, but a provocative sentence on purpose: "Yuri, as soon as the arms trading venue opens, you are going to make a fortune again. Can you arrange it tonight?"

Kurchik's face was dark on the spot, and he said angrily: "Are you pretending to be stupid? 35% commission, how can I make money?"

When this matter was mentioned, Gao Qiang's face was not very good-looking, and he sighed: "It seems that the rumors are true, the North African Garrison can't sit still."

Zhang Ga still didn't know the truth behind this incident, but after listening to Gao Qiang and Kurchik's explanation, he realized that there was such an inside story behind the sudden increase in commission.

"Then what does your second-level middleman friend, Zakwania say?" Zhang Ga wanted to know more details, so he opened his mouth and asked.

"He has nothing to do, this is a death order from the North African Garrison Department!" Kurchik said with a serious face, "and the transaction volume cannot be reduced, and those who are unwilling to abide by the rules will not be allowed to sell arms in North Africa in the future. Serious resistance , Mtamba can even apply to the North African Garrison to send troops to suppress it!"

This is Chi Guoguo's robber clause!
