Chapter 808 Six hundred and fifty tons of US dollars
Mandela has been in politics all his life. When dealing with the British in the past, the Americans later, and the Chinese now, he has never been at a disadvantage. He has accepted some foreigners.
They help, but they are not their lackeys. It is precisely because of this that South Africa is different from other African countries.
Energy Group? It’s not that I don’t know about this behemoth, but is it of any use in this three-acre land in South Africa? Here, I am the king. What kind of dragon has I not encountered? Everyone needs to follow the rules
He follows his own set of rules to do things. His grandson's leg was broken, and the doctor told him that he would never stand up again. As a grandfather, he must give him justice.
"Sir, President Zuma has begun to supervise domestic foreign exchange. Maybe we will have some trouble if we want to use state power to go head-to-head with energy groups." Mandela's personal assistant walked gently behind Mandela and said.
I have been with this old man for fifteen years. Even when his presidential term came, I had no doubts. I resigned directly and followed him here. I had great confidence in him, but at this time I suddenly had some doubts.
Will his boss fail this time?
"Haha, this is a normal thing. Everyone will have their own ideas. Zuma has been president for five years. If he doesn't have any ideas of his own, then I really misjudged him. But this time he is so clever.
This is not the place to play. If we ask all the people below to be replaced by our own people, we have to ask these guys in South Africa to see who has the final say in this world." The old man straightened his somewhat bent waist as he spoke.
Sometimes even the somewhat shaken secretary was a little bit infected. Yes, for now, the old man in front of me has the final say in this world.
Li Cong will definitely hit it with one strike. South Africa is a moderately developed country. Can 40 billion US dollars really paralyze South Africa? This is impossible. Large amounts of black money are also being shipped to South Africa in a steady stream.
.
The method Li Cong wants to use is also an old method, which is what he learned from Soros. Although the method is a bit old, it can still be used very well after his own improvements. When the time comes, he will use half of South Africa for himself.
If you pay the bill, maybe Mr. Mandela can still hold on at that time.
"Are you so addicted to these things? Have you ever thought about finding a place where no one knows us and living a good life? You have a huge power now. Why do you need so much power?" Nova has been with us since then.
After marrying Li Cong, he began to become sentimental, and from time to time he expressed his desire to live in seclusion with Li Cong.
"Baby, sometimes things are not as simple as you think. Are we really the most powerful now? On the surface, we are, but if you look at this matter in South Africa, if I am the most powerful, then
If I were the God of this world, would Mandela's grandson dare to conflict with my son? Africa is a place worthy of development, but it is also an unruly place. Originally, I thought Angola would be a
A good candidate for knocking mountains and shaking tigers, but now I find that this guy's weight is not very good, so I have to make up for it." Li Cong shook the golden whiskey in his hand and said, this liquid that is more expensive than gold looks so beautiful.
Nova sighed. This sound made Li Cong feel very distressed, but he was already in this position. If he did not develop, would those who surpassed him let him go? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is
An unchanging truth.
"You also know a lot about finance. Why don't you go to the financial team over there today to see their plans, and maybe you can give them some advice. I will increase your salary, haha." Li Cong joked, in fact,
I also wanted Nova to have something to do, and not to send me such sentiments every day. I really had no way to answer her.
Nova agreed and went out. She also understood that her wish was so far away. How could it be possible for Li Cong to give up everything and live in seclusion with her? Maybe he would go to live in seclusion on the day he really got the whole world.
, but it’s definitely not just me, there should be many confidantes.
The night in Cape Town is very beautiful, but Li Cong has no time to appreciate the beautiful night now. He is waiting for the arrival of two large transport planes at the Cape Town airport, which are loaded with absolutely precious cargo.
As for what it is, I'm afraid that except for Li Cong and his son, even No. 1 doesn't know what it is.
Number 1 is also a little strange. What is it that can bring both the president and his son here? No one knows the wealth of these two fathers and sons better than himself. What kind of things do they not have? This place is so attractive to them.
?
"Son, I believe you have seen a lot of things in this world, but you must have never seen the things that will happen later." Li Cong said to his son with some pride. This may be the proudest father in the world, because besides
I estimate that only a few people from the Skull and Bones Society can show their son such a scene.
Li Er frowned and looked at the sky. His father always told him how spectacular it was, but no matter how spectacular it was, it was only brought on a plane. I really don't know how this thing will help tomorrow's battle, but
Seeing his father's great nature, I couldn't displease him, so I had to pretend that I was also very curious.
Cape Town Airport is very large. The Energy Group always has to transport some high-value materials, so it has its own runway. All things only need to be inspected by the South African management department. Other things at the South African airport are
The department will not be so busy in managing the affairs of the energy group, but tonight Li Cong has arrived, and they have stretched their necks to see what kind of goods can attract the world's richest man.
Come.
It is normal for the roar of airplanes to appear at the airport, but the sound that appeared now was a little too loud, as if an ancient behemoth was roaring. The airport's tower radar finally saw this behemoth on the radar.
It’s bigger than the largest passenger plane. What the hell is this thing?
"1,1 This is Cape Town Airport. Please report your aircraft model and passenger and cargo type." The tower manager asked the aircraft in person. This was the first time he had seen such a large aircraft, so he was a bit out of his depth.
.
"This is 1, aircraft model An-225, cargo." The pilot on the plane answered succinctly, but this answer already shocked everyone in the room.
Damn, everyone heard it right. The guy just mentioned was the An-225. That behemoth of the former Soviet Union is a super-large military transport aircraft with an off-land weight of more than 600 tons. It is also the largest transport aircraft and aircraft in the world so far.
, larger than the 380. Owned by what is now Ukraine, it was developed by the Soviet-era Antonov Design Bureau for equipment transportation purposes in the Soviet space program.
No wonder Li Cong asked the airport to give him forty large trucks. Damn, what are these things? You must notify the customs. Such a large amount of goods must be a big tax, but you can't let these
The Chinese got through it.
Yes, the two planes above are indeed An-225, the Big Macs of the former Soviet Union, and they carry 600 tons of cargo. Originally, there were only two of these Big Macs in the world, but Li Cong was very early
I expected that this thing would be useful to me, so I found this Ukrainian company that was about to go bankrupt two years ago, and built three of them for the energy group under coercion and inducement. Now I have two of them at once.
Fortunately, Cape Town is a relatively large airport. If it were a small airport, it would probably not have a runway suitable for the takeoff and landing of this kind of aircraft. Now you can see this giant with the naked eye. At this moment, except for Li Cong himself
, everyone else was very shocked. Everyone knew that airplanes are very huge, but this was the first time they saw such a huge airplane. Li Cong’s Boeing 787 special plane was like a child in front of it. It was just such an airplane.
Li Cong has been pretending to be mysterious for a long time, he must be too good at showing off.
"Father, is this what you want me to see? I think the cost of this thing is only a few hundred million U.S. dollars, and there are many people who can afford it." Although Li Cong did not dare to sarcastically talk to his father, he did not hesitate.
A few words are enough. Looking at his son's cute look, Li pinched his cheek from the top and pulled him into the jeep. Where are the things on it? You have to see it to know.
The two planes were parked there like huge monsters. Some passengers boarding the plane in the distance were late for their flights because of watching the planes. Such things are really rare, even those who often say that they have seen the world
The airport staff all felt that their eyesight was a bit weak. The energy group had given people too many surprises.
Li Cong smiled and did not answer his son's words. Instead, he walked to the "butt" of the plane and waited for the door above to open slowly. All the followers followed closely at this time. It was not for Li Cong at this time.
Most of the people who followed the security team wanted to see what was inside the plane. Li Cong felt extremely satisfied when he saw how everyone was waiting eagerly.
"It's safe outside. Open the cabin door." Li Cong picked up his phone and called the pilot on the plane. The rear cabin door, which seemed to weigh about ten tons, slowly opened, and what came into view was dozens of people.
There are heavily armed detainees. Others may not know what these people do, but No. 1, the leader of the investigation department, can tell that these people are holding air guns, and the two people behind them are also holding air guns.
Cannon, good guy, it is indeed a valuable item, but I don’t know how valuable it is.
The leader jumped down before the cabin door reached the ground, and when he saw Li Cong in front of him, he immediately trotted over.
"Report to the president, the cargo has arrived safely, and the escort fighter plane has returned outside South Africa's territorial waters. Please check with the president." Now everyone was even more confused. Damn it, there are escort fighters? Li Cong's special plane has it.
There were no escort fighter planes at that time, so the things above were in need of escort.
"Very good, well done. After the task is completed, everyone should take a holiday and prepare to unload the goods." Li Cong nodded with satisfaction. These people were still very reliable in their work. It was only at this time that everyone saw some of the escorts behind the scenes.
What are the goods? Each one is tightly wrapped and has a volume of about one cubic meter. A dozen small loading and unloading vehicles began to transport the goods non-stop. The truck driver can feel it.
Yes, this thing shouldn't be light, each block weighs about a ton.
It took more than ten minutes for all these things to be loaded onto the truck. As for the South African tax officials who wanted to collect taxes, Li Cong directly threw one million U.S. dollars over them. No one immediately said anything about taxes or anything like that. Things from the energy group.
It is exempt from inspection in the first place. Besides, everyone has paid so much "private tax". Even if the plane is full of drugs, it doesn't matter to us. Besides, there are so many drugs. Mr. Li thinks so highly of South Africa that I guess.
It can't be sold even if it's shipped, so it doesn't have that much purchasing power. Money has such great magic power in Africa.
When there was only one block left at the end, Li Cong asked the loading and unloading truck to place the last block in front of everyone. It seemed that he wanted to reveal the secret.
"Everyone, today's delivery task is very good, but it is not enough for me to give you a reward of one unit. If the financial team performs well tomorrow, you will share the reward of this unit with them equally. As for how much it is worth, let's decide now.
Let's take a look at what kind of goods this is." After Li Cong finished speaking, he motioned to No. 1 to open the package.
Then no one in the audience spoke. Damn it, these are all US dollars. A whole ton and a half of US dollars, hundreds of millions of US dollars. Even the prince Li Er felt a little surprised at this time. He had gone through it with his own hands before.
It is common to see tens of billions of dollars, but those are just numbers, and we have not seen the real objects. What we see now is real, real money.
"Everyone, you are all old people in my energy group. Now I can tell you that this is 650 tons of cash and 650 tons of US dollars. This ton is the reward for you and the financial team.
"After Li Cong finished speaking, he got into his car and left, leaving a group of stunned subordinates behind.
This boss is so good at stimulating people's cells. Six hundred and fifty tons of U.S. dollars, no wonder he mentioned it so easily. Who can see so much cash except in the bank, especially in this era of rampant credit cards?
, but the boss who brought so much cash must have his own ideas. Why do we care about so much cash? I heard this ton of bonuses very clearly.
A dozen large trucks drove back to the energy group's headquarters in Cape Town. However, some of the group's accountants were immediately summoned, and all branches only left some basic information.
Most of the staff have returned to the South African headquarters to start receiving training, which may be of great use in the next few days. At the same time, the group's business has also begun to open a series of acquisitions with major groups in South Africa.
The price is up to you, even if it is double the price of your company, we can accept it. However, there is a problem, that is, the payment time will be slightly later, but it will only be delayed for about a week at most. This has another problem.
What, is the credibility of our energy group a joke? Let alone a week, even a few weeks is no problem.
In short, over the next two days, Saturday and Sunday, various people from the energy group signed a large number of acquisition contracts with large and small companies in South Africa. Because the prices offered by the energy group were quite high, some were already 100% higher.
One hundred and fifty, everyone feels that there is no need to struggle with money. When will their own little property be able to make so much money? Besides, some properties are still in a state of loss. If they don't sell them at this time, they may not be able to make money anymore
The bank loan cannot be repaid.
Speaking of banks, in the past two days, all major banks in South Africa have become very busy due to some acquisition projects of energy groups. In the past, energy groups would never touch those high-interest commercial loans, so major banks
The bank does not have any business dealings with the energy group, but something seems to have changed suddenly in the past two days. Several people in charge of the energy group have loaned out a total of about 700 billion rand from South Africa in the past few days, which is about the equivalent of one million Rand.
It’s around 100 billion U.S. dollars, and it continues to increase loans.
South Africa's financial experts also felt that something was wrong, but there was no reason not to lend money to the energy group. They had high-quality collateral. If nothing else, the good reputation of the energy group meant that they didn't have that much collateral.
I am absolutely willing to lend money to the energy group.
The energy group has tens of billions of dollars in fixed assets throughout South Africa, and there are also tens of billions of dollars in various government bonds as collateral. There is no reason not to provide loans to people. Some bankers feel that the government is interfering because they don't want them to make money.
, so a very large-scale protest was organized. Due to the pressure from bankers, the government stopped interfering with this matter. However, it still ordered the management department to strictly observe the capital flow of the energy group. As a result, there was nothing wrong. It was just that recently the energy group
The group's acquisition plan is a little more powerful, but the energy group has been making acquisitions non-stop, so this only means that their actions have accelerated, but it does not explain anything.
Mr. Mandela never knew much about economics, but his grandson who was beaten was not an idiot, but a top student at Harvard Business School. It is a pity that he is now trapped in the beautiful and gentle land of the hospital, otherwise
Perhaps his suggestions could save South Africa less losses, but unfortunately the savior did not appear.
