Chapter 356 Suspicion

But Jiang Feng always feels something is wrong. If this matter is that simple, the Africans will just get a processing plant, and most of the iron ore is given to him almost for free. It is unreasonable to say that. Africans cannot be fools, right?

Although the other party seemed to have expressed great enthusiasm for the Chinese, Jiang Feng never believed in any friendship arising from the battle, especially for these foreigners. As the saying goes, they are not of our race, and their hearts must be different. They are talking about these black-skinned, white-skinned or red-skinned guys.

I remember that whether it was the big brother or later comrades and brothers, they all ended up having a bad time and were disbanded. These people were unreliable. Can they still count on these black ghosts who seem to be even more different?

No matter how he thought about it, he thought this matter was unreliable. So he asked his legal experts and technical experts to study it carefully on the contract. At the same time, he also mobilized his own intelligence department to touch the old stories of these black ghosts through intelligence channels between Americans and Europeans.

At the same time, Jiang Feng also felt that although the environment in this place is good, there is always an indescribable weirdness, and the impression these black ghosts brought to him was also very treacherous.

Sure enough, in the fierce bargaining negotiations that came, the relationship between the two parties was no longer so friendly. Jiang Feng and his members gradually felt embarrassed in their situation. The most important thing is that if they do not agree to sign the contract, it will be a problem to leave this place. Not to mention the high hotel fees every day, because at the beginning, the other party sent a convoy to pick them up, so they did not drive or fly, so how could they leave?

There are people-eating lions outside the hotel! The rich people who come here all have their own means of transportation and are not pulled by someone in a car at all. So their current task is how to get out of here, then go to the big city, and look back to see how things should be handled.

Originally, the other party asked Jiang Feng and the others to sign the contract immediately, but for such a quick thing, good things came too easily, which always made people very worried. Especially Jiang Feng felt that there were some problems, and the experts had never encountered such an easy negotiation, and everyone thought it needed to be carefully considered.

But it was not that easy to leave here rashly. Jiang Feng thought about it and found a reasonable reason, saying that they asked to meet the local lawyer before signing the contract and listen to the lawyer's true views, so they wanted to go to the city.

This reason is very legitimate, so the other party has no reason to refuse Jiang Feng and the others' request. In this way, the other party arranged a car to take them into the city.

When the car drove out, when looking back at these world-class golf hotels, Jiang Feng suddenly felt like he had already left the cage. When looking at the lions and hippos walking around, he felt that this place was no longer a beautiful place.

After entering the city, Jiang Feng and his team found the local Chinese embassy in Guji. They introduced it and found a local lawyer. Jiang Feng and the others were very surprised. A good mining lawyer in Africa costs more than 2,000 US dollars per hour, and the best lawyer costs more than 10,000 US dollars per hour.

"How come it is so expensive?" Jiang Feng's top legal experts were not worth the money, so he was of course a little surprised.

It’s not that Jiang Feng can’t afford this price, it really feels a bit outrageous.

While letting them entertain them, the embassy counselor explained: "The mining law here is extremely developed. A complete mining system was established during the European colonial era. The relevant laws stipulate that there are millions of pages and can fill several rooms. Here, mining lawyers are the most profitable industry, so lawyers with a $10,000 hour are actually not outrageous."

After hearing this, Jiang Feng became even more suspicious. He thought a lot, not only did he think that China's legal system construction has a long way to go, especially China's mining law, which did not have clear enough provisions on mineral rights, let alone anything else.

But now in such a short period of time, even if you find a top mineral lawyer with an hourly salary of $10,000, you cannot solve the problems they face.

Jiang Feng is very clear that the complexity of the law means that there are many places where traps can be set. The mining law here not only requires the ownership of the mine, but also the land use rights on the ground. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to mine, but also the ownership of the underground land. Without this ownership, the mine is not yours, and there are also the adjacent rights. If you want to mine iron ore, you need the consent of the surrounding land owners and operators. There are other environmental protection requirements. At the same time, it also strictly stipulates the impact of mining on groundwater, etc., as well as the responsibilities to bear, etc., and wait until the mine is mined, there are specific requirements and commitments for restoring the environment, etc.

Jiang Feng's lawyers talked with local mineral lawyers for a while and found that the mineral laws and regulations here are not only complicated, but also each regulation can become a trap.

And there is another very important thing, that is, the case law is implemented here, and many issues are judged based on past cases. If you only read the law and don’t understand what kind of precedents there have been in the local area, you will still be fooled and undiscussed.

Finally, Jiang Feng and the others finally figured out one thing. The dozens of pages of contracts given to them were still too simple. Generally speaking, a formal mining contract here must have at least a few hundred pages, and the relevant documents have thousands of pages, which is far from the concept in China.

"I'm x, it seems that someone has been fooled!" Jiang Feng and others felt very annoyed after they discovered this.

This feeling made Jiang Feng very depressed. Once upon a time, he was in Europe, the United States, Australia, and Japan, and he was in a mess. He threw a group of foreigners into a mess, and brought it out for one dollar and a hundred dollars. The other party's stock market was like his own cash machine. Unexpectedly, he came to Africa this time. He thought it would be very easy to deal with the natives, but he almost overturned the boat in the gutter and ate the conspiracy of the black-skinned ghost.

"I really didn't expect that these black people had so many intestines?" Lin Chiling said with some emotion, "There are traps everywhere in the contract. The warm hospitality before should be to reduce our vigilance, right?"

"As the saying goes, people are soft-hearted and cannibalized. If we were really the leaders of state-owned enterprises, we would have been happy to sign this contract long ago. No matter how you look at it, they will be beneficial but not harmful. Who would have thought that there are many problems here? Once something really happens, the investment here will be thrown in for nothing." Jiang Feng agreed.

At this time, he was also not feeling anything. Some domestic public opinion propaganda was indeed very problematic, as if it was said that people in Africa were simple in thinking and were enthusiastic in their treatment, but when they really got here, they found that this was not the case. Jiang Feng had no doubt that if he signed these contracts, these people would immediately turn against each other.

However, Jiang Feng also felt that he rushed over and went back in a mess. Wasn’t he given him a big face? In terms of reason, he should have done this and then go back, so as not to be regarded as the target of ridicule.

The experts accompanying him were studying the situation here. Jiang Feng, Lin Chiling and Lin Ruiyu were all done nothing, so they simply took the bodyguards to stroll around the streets to pass the time.

After they moved into the city, they had many surprises. For example, there were Chinese text prompts in front of the hotel here, which made people feel very friendly, which also shows that there are already many Chinese people coming here.

After finally coming here, they wanted to go out for a walk, but a very strange phenomenon appeared, that is, the shops were closed and people who bought things had to knock on the door and queue up to enter, and they entered one by one. Each store allowed at most one person to buy things, and the people in front would not come out, and the people in the back would not let in.

Those who come to shop together like Jiang Feng and others also have to enter one by one, and everyone is completely interested in shopping.

Fortunately, I met a hotel run by an old overseas Chinese who was a member of the country. When I saw someone coming from my hometown, the old man was very happy and invited them all in. After everyone sat down, they started chatting and found out the situation here.

After hearing Jiang Feng and others' doubts, the old overseas Chinese explained to them: "The public security situation here is extremely problematic, and the shops are afraid of being robbed, so everyone is very cautious."

According to him, the public security chaos here has its soil. First of all, there is no death penalty here, and guns can be bought and held casually. Moreover, during the war, there are many left everywhere. Basically, the whole people have guns. Of course, there are human-eating lions everywhere when they go to the wild. These lions are used to eating dead bodies during wars. Now they attack when they see people and confiscate all the guns of the people. There is also a problem.

Furthermore, if you kill someone here, bail is easier. Now black people are in power. In order to allow black poor people to pay bail, the murderers here can be bailed by paying a few thousand US dollars. In the end, it has led to the criminal prosecution rules that promote the parties' ideas. For murderers, if the victim's family does not pursue the prosecution, then no one will try their best to pursue the murderer, and there is no organization to prosecute you, and you have to prosecute yourself. But as a foreigner, you have something wrong here, how can your family have the time and financial resources to prosecute the criminal here?

Moreover, the robbers here basically came from mercenaries from the civil war at that time. After the end of the civil war, they had no source of livelihood and moved in many African countries. Any place with mines was rich and there were a lot of foreign gold diggers carrying money, so this was their choice for robbery. So the city was particularly chaotic.

These people joined the army in their teens. Military organizations of various countries have conducted special training for them for their own needs. Of course, there are also China who trained to support the liberation of the African people. Each of them has fought more than ten years on the battlefield. They can be said to be survivors from one hundred. They kill countless people and face life and death many times. They regard life as grass. Even if Chinese special forces have such training, they do not have the psychological quality of facing death. So now the police in their country cannot deal with these robbers at all. Even if Jiang Feng and his friends plan to do projects here in the future, they can only recruit some ordinary bodyguards and can only be a decoration, and they will not play much role.
