Chapter 191 The Lion Opens Its Mouth

The public security in Kinshasa has been very bad recently, and you can often see black people shopping for free on the streets.

Innocent people were beaten up.

The unfortunate fellow was knocked to the ground.

There were also a large number of people joining in the fun and demonstrations.

Not to mention Jiang Hua who was worried, even Winder who had spent several years in Africa was extremely nervous, fearing that he would be beaten up by the black men. Only Jiang Ning and a few mercenaries were relatively calm, and some of the mercenaries acted as if nothing had happened.

The mercenaries recruited had either been on the battlefield or had fought in the battlefield.

Either they have been in the Middle East or Africa, and they all make a living by using guns.

The age is generally older.

The youngest are in their thirties.

Sea Snake is the only one who has served in the special forces. You can guess from his nickname that this guy is a seal. He is in his forties and has been retired for seven or eight years. He has been living from hand to mouth and has worked as a mercenary and a security guard.

I even worked as a driver for a while.

For an annual salary of $150,000, he came all the way to Africa.

Haishe was very curious about the new boss. He had been secretly observing Jiang Ning since he arrived in Kinshasa. Seeing that he looked calm and turned a blind eye to the various violent incidents that occurred on the streets from time to time, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss, was you a soldier too?"

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I guess so. I worked as a mercenary in Africa for several years."

The sea snake was relieved, no wonder it was so calm.

He used to be a mercenary.

Winder didn't care about his boss's past, but was curious about why he wanted to buy the Kasoto Gold Mine. He asked, "Why did the boss want to buy the Kasoto Gold Mine? Does the Kasoto Gold Mine have a large gold reserve?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, that is a very large gold mine, occupied by an anti-government armed group. It has been mined for decades and can still produce one ton of gold every year. As long as we get it, it will not be a problem to make tens of millions of dollars a year."

Winder was stunned: "Boss, since the gold mine is occupied by anti-government armed forces, we can't get it even if we buy it!"

Jiang Ning said: "Let the Kinshasa government solve it."

"shit!"

Winder was surprised: "Boss, do you really think so? The local warlords in the Democratic Republic of Congo don't give face to the Kinshasa government at all. If the warlords are unhappy one day, they dare to lead their troops to fight the government army. If the Kinshasa government has that ability, the Democratic Republic of Congo will not be in such a mess. North and South Kivu provinces are the territory of the warlords, and Kinshasa can't intervene."

Jiang Ning said: "Then let's grab it ourselves."

Winder thought about it and said, "That's something we can consider."

The sea snake's eyelids twitched: "Boss, it is very risky to go to war with the tribal armed forces."

Jiang Ning asked: "What do you mean?"

The sea snake said, "First, we are just mercenaries and are not protected by the government. If things get out of hand, the government will not support us and may even cause trouble for us. Second, there are at least several hundred tribal armed forces in Africa. Without the support of heavy firepower, there will be heavy casualties in a war with the tribal armed forces with our manpower and equipment. Third, the salary paid by the boss to others is not enough for everyone except me to fight the tribal armed forces. The boss has to raise everyone's salary and provide weapons and equipment."

Jiang Ning didn't care: "This is my business. You just need to complete the tasks I assign to you after getting a satisfactory salary. Don't worry about the rest."

The sea snake shrugged: "Okay, good boss, I will be worthy of the salary you pay me."

Jiang Hua didn't understand what they were saying and couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Ning gave him a brief account of it.

Jiang Hua was shocked: "You want to fight with African warlords?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "There are wars in Africa every day, this is not a rare thing."

Jiang Hua was puzzled: "Since we want to snatch the gold mine from the tribal army Ye Mu, why do we have to spend money to buy it?"

Jiang Ning said: "This world has a set of rules. Without rules, it's like the Democratic Republic of Congo. Look at those black people who bought for free, they will never be able to show up. So even if they are robbers, they should pay attention to courtesy before force. I spent money to buy the mine and fight the tribal armed forces. It is reasonable and logical. The Kinshasa government cannot blame me. They took my money and either helped me get the mine or I took it myself. If I didn't spend money to buy the mine, I would recruit a group of people to fight the tribal armed forces directly. What would that be? To put it bluntly, it would be illegal armed forces illegally invading other countries, and there would be a series of troubles later."

Jiang Hua was stunned. These things were too far away from him.

I can't quite understand it for a moment.

After walking around the street for a while, everyone returned to the hotel to rest.

Lao Hei is actually not stupid. He knows that you should pick on the weak. Even children understand this principle, so how could Lao Hei not understand it? So even if the streets are not peaceful, no Lao Hei will come to trouble them, because he doesn't look like someone who is easy to mess with.

Especially those mercenaries who looked like they were not good people.

Jiang Ning also helped another fellow villager.

It was a girl, and her bag was snatched by a black man.

Jiang Ning grabbed Lao Hei and kicked him to the ground.

He stepped on his face with his big feet and got the bag back.

Also give it to the girl who chased after me.

Lao Hei screamed, and many Lao Hei nearby stopped and watched.

A few old blacks are still ready to make a move.

But after being glanced at by Jiang Ning with a deadly look, and then looking at the white people next to them who were obviously not easy to mess with, the few black people who wanted to uphold justice immediately calmed down and just shouted and cursed from a distance, but no one dared to come forward to take action.

The girl took her bag back and left, thanking me profusely.

Jiang Hua asked, "Are there many fellow villagers here?"

Jiang Ning said: "There are quite a lot, tens of thousands of people."

Jiang Hua sighed: "It's so chaotic. I have the life to make money but not the life to spend it."

Jiang Ning said: "What people fear most is not danger and chaos, but having no money to spend. Don't you understand? As the old saying goes, people die for money. As long as they can make money, the chaos in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is nothing. Even if they want to be cannon fodder in Ukraine, there are still many people who want to go there."

Jiang Hua nodded: "I saw some fellow villagers working as mercenaries there on Douyin before."

Jiang Ning said: "Don't tell your parents if you shouldn't say it when you get home."

Jiang Hua nodded and said, "I know."

While waiting in Kinshasa, Jiang Ning visited several big bosses.

By the way, I registered a security company and found an office space.

We also hired a black guy to lead the way and run errands.

The black boy is called Lucas, a French student studying abroad, and a cultured black boy.

Having worked in a government department for three years, I am very familiar with the ins and outs of it.

After waiting for a week, the old black man Kalega finally got the job done.

The government has agreed to sell him the Kasoto gold mine.

But the price is still to be discussed.

Lao Hei is not very honest and wants to be cunning.

Jiang Ning said directly: "My friend, I know the situation of Kasoto Gold Mine very well. I don't know where you get the confidence to ask me for 300 million US dollars. If you can deal with the tribal armed forces in North Kivu Province, I might consider this price, but can the Kinshasa government control those warlords and tribal armed forces in North Kivu Province? Your president doesn't even dare to go there. Which idiot offered this price? Do you think I am stupid and rich and so easy to cheat?"

Lao Hei spread his hands and asked, "Okay, how much are you going to give?"

Jiang Ning said: "One million US dollars."

"impossible!"

Lao Hei shook his head repeatedly: "This price is absolutely not acceptable."

Winder continued: "My friend, I think your government is not sincere at all. You can't dispose of the Kasoto gold mine, but you dare to ask for $300 million. Can I say that the goose is also mine? I will sell it to you for $300 million. Do you want it?"

Lao Hei was a little angry: "Are you joking?"

Winder shook his head. "I'm not joking. I'm seriously discussing the issue with you. The Kinshasa government only owns the mineral resources and has the right to dispose of them in name, but what about in reality? Your power is limited to Kinshasa. The warlords and tribal armed forces in the four eastern provinces don't give you face at all. To put it bluntly, your power is not worth a penny."

Lao Hei is not stupid at all: "But if you want to get the Kasoto Gold Mine, you need the approval of our government. Without the government's approval procedures, you can't legally get the Kasoto Gold Mine. The government is the master of this country."

Jiang Ning asked: "Don't you say in your propaganda that the people are the masters of the country?"

"Of course!"

Lao Hei was not embarrassed at all and covered up the slip of the tongue casually: "Our country is the country of the people, and the government is the government of the people. When I said the government is the master of the country, I meant that the people are the masters of the country."

Jiang Ning was too lazy to talk to him about these useless things, and said: "Three hundred million dollars is impossible. There are many gold mines in Africa, not just in the Democratic Republic of Congo. You two should discuss it again. It's better to show some sincerity, otherwise forget it."

The first formal negotiation ended so hastily. Jiang Ning waited for a few days until Teacher's Day came.

Feng Yu has gone back to school and work, and has not been home for more than a month and has not seen his daughter.

Jiang Hua also wants to go home.

He flew to Ethiopia with his brother and then transferred to Guangzhou.

When I arrived at Yangcheng Airport and was about to check in, I ran into an acquaintance.

"Hey, little grandfather..."

Jiang Yixiu called out "Little Grandpa", and the nearby passengers turned their heads to look over.

That was a surprise.

Jiang Ning was very surprised: "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yixue said, "I'm going to Beijing on a business trip. How come the two young masters have time to come to Yangcheng?"

Jiang Ning said: "I went out to do some things and just flew to Yangcheng."

Jiang Yixue asked curiously: "You went abroad?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "I went out to do something."

Jiang Yixue instantly became interested: "Where did you go?"

"Australia."

“I haven’t been to Australia yet…”

Jiang Yixiu was very curious about the outside world and asked Jiang Ning for a long time.

Finally, he asked, "Will you two young masters go to the ancestral worship ceremony in a few days?"

Jiang Ning said, "I should go. My brother probably won't be free because he has to go to Australia to send his niece to school at the end of the month."

Jiang Yixue was quite surprised: "Are you going to immigrate?"

Jiang Ning said: "If we don't immigrate, we will just send our children to school."

After chatting for a while, we went to check in.

It was already evening when they arrived in the provincial capital, and the two brothers were not in a hurry to return to Bei'an.

I found a hotel at the airport and rested for a night.

The next day I went to the hospital to see my uncle.

His uncle didn't listen to him and go to the farm to exercise, and ended up having trouble sleeping all night. Jiang Ze had no choice but to take him to the provincial capital for examination. After the laparoscopy, they found some burrs in his small intestine and he needed a minor operation, which was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

I stayed in the hospital for a whole morning and asked about the situation.

After lunch, Jiang Ning and Jiang Hua returned to Bei'an.

When we arrived in Bei'an, it was almost half past four.

The weather has not been so hot recently, and my parents and sister-in-law have moved back to the community.

Jiang Ning went to the farm only after sending Jiang Hua to the community.

School started and Feng Yu went to work.

Feng Xue was raising the child at home alone. The older the little one got, the more she didn't want to be locked in the house. Even though she was still crawling and couldn't walk, she didn't want to stay in the house. She would run outside as soon as she woke up. Feng Xue had no choice but to take her outside to do it.

Under a ginkgo tree, Feng Xue laid a moisture-proof mat.

The little guy was crawling around on the moisture-proof mat and having a lot of fun.

Feng Xue sat on the side and watched quietly, giving a helping hand from time to time.

The little one crawled into the lawn.

An Audi drove up.

Feng Xue pointed at the car and asked the little guy to look at it.

The little guy turned his head to look at the oncoming car, his big watery eyes full of curiosity.

Jiang Ning got out of the car and greeted Feng Xue first: "Sister!"

Feng Xue used sign language.

Jiang Ning walked over and asked, "Why don't you stay in the house?"

Feng Xue continued to gesture.

Jiang Ning understood, walked to the moisture-proof mat, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to the little guy: "Baby, come here, daddy will hold you."

The little guy looked at him, not quite knowing him.

I haven't seen my dad for more than a month and have already forgotten about him.

Jiang Ning sat on the moisture-proof mat, picked her up and lifted her up.

The little guy looked down at him and cried without opening his mouth.

In the past, when her grandparents held her in their arms, she would cry as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Don't you remember Dad?"

Jiang Ning pushed her twice and kissed her on the cheek twice.

The little guy laughed immediately.

At eight months old, the little guy is already crawling all over the floor.

I can stand for a few minutes holding the railing.

It's becoming more and more difficult to take care of him. He can't leave home without someone as soon as he wakes up.

Unlike when he left at the end of July, he could still fit in the stroller.

When I called before, Feng Yu said that the little one no longer slept in the stroller.

Jiang Ning teased the little guy and was very happy to see that the little guy did not reject him.

Played with my daughter for a while.

Then he turned around and talked to Feng Xue.

Feng Xue wore a floral dress and her hair was casually tied behind her head with a ribbon.

A few strands of messy hair hung down, revealing a hint of laziness in the silence.

Jiang Ning asked her: "Sister, it must be tiring to take care of a little one by yourself, right?"

Feng Xue used sign language, indicating that she was very tired.

The older the little one gets, the harder it is to take care of him.

Also learned to cry.

If you don't take her out to play when she wakes up, she will cry.

Jiang Ning asked: "Do you want to hire a nanny?"

Feng Xue shook her head. She was not used to living under the same roof with strangers.

I would rather work harder myself than be served by others.

Jiang Ning talked to her and asked about her family situation.

Feng Xue responded with sign language. Now he could understand most sign languages.

The little guy was not happy to be held by him all the time, so he struggled to get off the ground, crawled to Feng Xue, hugged Feng Xue's legs and shouted: "Mommy, mommy, mommy..."

Feng Xue smiled, picked her up and placed her on her lap.

The little guy buried his face in her arms. After a while, he raised his head and turned to look at Jiang Ning.

When Jiang Ning looked over, the little guy immediately turned his head away and buried his face in Feng Xue's arms again.
