The first thousand one hundred and eighty-fifth chapters hospitality
Mali, Africa, is an African country with very large gold reserves, but there is a sense of poverty everywhere. Only in big cities do the buildings look like places where people live.
This country, with a GDP of only a few hundred dollars, is almost at the bottom of the world. Deserts everywhere and no cash crops are one reason, but the most important thing is the war.
Regardless of any country, once war breaks out, it will cause a serious recession to the country's economy, and the people's livelihood is not just a word.
Macron, the army commander-in-chief of the Malian military government, solemnly received Fang Hao and his party in the capital Bamako.
Returning to Africa, the land that made Fang Hao so proud, Fang Hao was very excited because this was Fang Hao's second hometown.
Mark received Fang Hao as if he were a head of state. In fact, Fang Hao's status here is indeed very high, but this was the first time Mark met Fang Hao, the mysterious leader of the Hades Palace - Pluto.
The headquarters of Hades is located at the junction of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. There have been frequent wars here. This kind of place with no physical resources, no mineral resources, and sparsely populated areas naturally becomes
A place where you don't care.
So this place was chosen by Hades Palace. At first, several neighboring countries were very dissatisfied. However, after the first round of fighting, these countries knew that Hades Palace was completely tough.
Therefore, for the sake of that useless piece of land, several neighboring countries were no longer willing to provoke Hades.
Later, I gradually became familiar with it and got used to it. Hades are mercenaries. Because of their strong fighting power, when some countries have rebellions and civil wars, they sometimes hire Hades to help. Mali is one of them.
There has been a lot less civil strife in Mali in the past two years. In fact, it is also because of the close relationship between Mali and Hades, so Mark received Fang Hao and his party in a very grand and high-profile manner.
A grand state banquet began in a manor in the capital of Bamako. It was said to be a manor, but in fact it was just a courtyard, but it was a little big.
This is Mark's private courtyard. Knowing that Fang Hao was about to leave for Mali, Mark took his place the day before and Fang Hao and his party prepared a sumptuous state banquet.
Among Fang Hao's group, Wen Xiao, who was called Fang Hao's shadow, was missing, but there was another shadow, Weiwei Li. In addition to Weiwei Li, who was here for the first time, there were two other women, one was Deng Meiling,
One is Zhao Moqing.
Fang Hao was also quite depressed about the appearance of these two. He didn't even expect that the company established by Chen Yanwang, Zhao Fengjiao and several large groups to jointly invest in International Group in Africa was actually in Mali, and the president and vice president turned out to be Deng.
Meiling and Zhao Moqing.
Fang Hao remembered the time he called Deng Meiling to ask about Ye Dongling. As a result, Deng Meiling said that she was from Africa. At that time, Fang Hao thought that Deng Meiling was traveling in Africa and did not expect that the company's affairs would come up.
In fact, Fang Hao of the International Group also invested more than 200 Huaxia coins, 3 billion US dollars, and he only accounted for 16% of the shares. Although it seems to be a lot, the total investment of the five companies is also
Only about 160 billion.
Forget it, Fang Hao also had a nominal position in the international group, assistant to the president.
What the hell, I don’t know what Zhao Fengjiao, Chen Yan, and the others were thinking, actually letting two wealthy ladies come to this useless place to be the president and vice president, managing a large company with a market value of more than 160 billion.
I don’t know how those old guys can feel relieved.
So after learning that Fang Hao had returned to Africa, Deng Meiling and Zhao Moqing came to the capital Bamako on behalf of the International Group to wait for Fang Hao's arrival.
Because of the frequent wars in Africa, Huaxia Security Company has equipped International Group with nearly two hundred security personnel, and the head office of International Group is located in Mali.
Doing business here is naturally very simple, that is gold, because there is nothing except gold here in Mali.
Buy gold from Mali at a low price, then refine it into gold nuggets on site and sell it to the world.
Originally, another company had acquired this place, but after the International Group showed its relationship with Hades, Mali's army commander naturally chose the International Group. Of course, the price offered by the International Group was much higher than that of other companies.
.
Although other companies were dissatisfied and wanted to cause trouble for the International Group, with the help of Hades, other companies did not dare to move at all.
Although Fang Hao asked Hades to pay attention to the situation of the International Group, he didn't take it seriously, so until he saw the two women, Fang Hao only knew the whole story.
Deng Meiling and Zhao Moqing were surrounded by nearly twenty security personnel armed with AKs. These people were all trained and selected by the Huaxia Security Company, and they were all retired soldiers, so they were majestic, at least better than the local soldiers.
many.
At this moment, a state banquet began.
Fang Hao has been in Africa for five years and is naturally familiar with the characteristics of African dishes, so he is not surprised. However, when Deng Meiling and Zhao Moqing saw the whole roasted camel being carried up, the two women's eyes lit up.
Although they have been here for several months, they have never eaten roasted camel, because it is a famous dish in Africa.
Especially Zhao Moqing, a foodie, has started to drool, and his eyes are gleaming.
No one on the table had a knife or fork, so he could cut whatever he wanted to eat. Zhao Moqing immediately cut a large piece of meat from the camel's leg and took a bite. His joy suddenly turned into a bitter smile, because he looked so barbaric.
It's good, but the taste is still different. Compared with Chinese barbecue, the taste is much different.
This is nothing. The dishes that were served later made the two women, who had never seen African characteristics, look pale and bloodless. Even Deng Meiling ran out to use the toilet twice, but Fang Hao understood that this woman
Not really going to the toilet, but going to vomit.
The dishes served are indeed very unique, braised bats, mosquito burgers, boiled snails, grilled bananas, fried bananas...
The latter two were okay, but the first two made Deng Meiling and Zhao Moqing sick to death. Even the cold Weiwei Li could not help but frown at this moment.
Seeing the two women deflated, Fang Hao, who hadn't smiled for many days, couldn't help laughing. Although Fang Hao didn't dare to eat, as a soldier and mercenary, under difficult combat conditions, even if he eats
Fang Hao wouldn't even frown when eating raw snake meat or rat meat.
So I didn’t have any reaction, I just didn’t try it.
Mark grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth that were in sharp contrast to his skin. He grinned and pointed at the beer served by a black girl. He smiled and said proudly: "This is our best beer in Mali, dedicated to our most distinguished guests."
"
Deng Meiling was speechless, and even Zhao Moqing was speechless, because they had been here for a few months and naturally knew that this place also produced some beer, but it was completely inferior beer.
So the two women had no interest in this so-called best beer.
On the contrary, Fang Hao and Mark had a few drinks, and the people from the Underworld, such as Guishou Laowang and Lao Niao, raised their necks and drank a few bottles. Because they had stayed here for so long, they were naturally used to the wine here. (
