Chapter 2432 - 2272: A Major Decision
Chapter 2432: Chapter 2272: A Major Decision
It wasn’t long before.
The group arrived at the train station.
At this moment.
Unlike usual, it was much livelier here. The first train from Algeria’s capital heading to the new line’s endpoint was about to depart here.
As a result.
Even the President came.
A speech.
Song and dance.
Cannon fire.
Quite the spectacle.
After nearly an hour of fuss, Chu Sheng and his subordinates boarded the train. They bought hard seats, and Chu Sheng knew this train was purchased from Huaxia.
Part of the coaches about to be phased out.
Thus.
Utilizing scrap material.
Sold cheaply to Algeria.
The inside and outside were refurbished, replacing some important Chinese Characters with Arabic script. Therefore, you could still see Chinese Characters in many places.
Sitting in this coach.
Suddenly.
Chu Sheng felt a sense of familiarity.
…
At the appointed time.
Clank! Clank!
The train started moving. It kept stopping and starting until after four in the afternoon, when it entered the newly built railway section; since there were no collisions here and it was dual track.
Soon.
The speed picked up.
Looking out the window.
The newcomers were all curious.
The Sahara Desert, the world’s largest desert, they were about to enter it and would be working there for quite a long time.
To be honest.
This was something they never thought of before. Most of them had only just retired before being introduced to Zhongyu Special Guard, where they trained and studied for several months.
Then they were dispatched here.
Among them.
Many people didn’t entirely have trouble finding work but rather wanted to experience the global reputation of Zhongyu Special Guard, which isn’t very large, but in Huaxia.
In the team.
It’s quite renowned.
In five years.
They solved the employment problem for a large number of retired personnel and developed businesses globally. Many people were thinking of taking this opportunity to work overseas.
Broaden their horizons.
Of course.
The treatment was also a factor; Zhongyu Special Guard’s overseas expatriate treatment was simply excellent.
Wages.
Subsidies.
Bonuses.
In total, even newcomers can earn over a hundred thousand a year, absolutely a high-paying industry. Plus, Tang Qing’s equal housing and other benefits.
Overall.
Highly attractive.
…
Suddenly.
A train whizzed past, although fast, everyone could vaguely make out that it was loaded with steel, some even finished railway tracks.
At this time.
Chu Sheng laughed and said, “It’s from the park.”
Upon hearing this.
Everyone looked a few more times.
“Where’s it all headed?” someone asked.
Chu Sheng explained:
“Currently, the largest contract is the city-building project in some North African countries, requiring a large amount of steel. As for the tracks, this batch should be headed to Libya.”
Upon hearing this.
A newcomer exclaimed, “Libya?”
“What’s wrong?”
“A few days ago, I saw the news, and it seems there was a protest, is it safe?” This news was something he wouldn’t typically pay attention to, but when heading to Africa.
One must inevitably do some homework.
The cause.
Was the President’s substantial personal assets, which became the target of attacks from Western media, and many sensed something unusual.
Upon hearing this.
Chu Sheng chuckled.
“It’s fine.”
“We’re selling goods, not getting involved in politics. As for whether it will affect payment for goods, there’s no need to worry because the money has already been paid.”
“Pay first, deliver later, this is how the company negotiated.”
At that time.
He was quite surprised.
Ultimately.
It can only be attributed to the company’s business team’s prowess. It’s worth noting that the buyer is no one ordinary but rather the family with significant control in that country.
However.
The company could still negotiate a prepaid contract.
One must say.
Impressive!
Regarding the company’s ’legendary’ business capability, Chu Sheng had witnessed many occasions where seemingly impossible deals were managed by the business team.
They never suffered losses.
With exceptionally strong combat power.
Still.
Thinking about the current, somewhat unusual situation on the other side, Chu Sheng was a bit worried because it could affect the next batch of pre-paid shipment payments.
Then.
It might impact the company’s income.
…
At this moment.
Thousands of miles away.
Libya.
Capital.
Inside a luxurious building.
“Humph!”
“You want to swallow my money, dream on!” Looking at a document, a trace of fierceness flashed across the President’s face, the document’s content wasn’t complicated, investment in infrastructure.
However.
This fierceness wasn’t directed at the project but at the United States.
Half a year ago.
One night, a stranger came to him, delivering news almost like a bolt from the blue. Only then did he learn that the person was from the black prison.
The purpose.
Collaboration.
The sincerity.
Was the message that the United States was planning to target him, the time set for the end of the year, where public opinion leads, protests are organized, and internal issues are stirred up.
The most critical part — freezing all his family’s overseas assets.
So.
He couldn’t help but panic.
Clearly.
This result was unacceptable to him, it’s hundreds of billions worth of wealth, painstakingly accumulated, suddenly confiscated by the United States.
Damn it!
Is this bearable?
Surrender?
No.
That’s not his way, gritting his teeth, he made a big decision — expenditure. It’s known that those dollar assets are challenging to transfer back.
Theoretically.
If it’s money.
Only the national currency stays within the nation’s land; as long as it exists as non-national currency, it remains abroad, which is troublesome.
Wherever.
It’s unsafe.
Return it?
How to?
Exchange dollars and euros into locally printed currency? That’s foolish! Thus, he began launching some projects.
Railway.
Highway.
Airport.
….
Various constructions.
However.
Due to internal family issues, the overseas assets couldn’t be spent entirely like this; hundreds of billions in assets weren’t entirely in his control.
Currently.
Only a portion has been spent.
Honestly.
Heartbroken.
But.
Thinking that it might all be ’confiscated,’ and he might end up finished, he had to endure, waiting for next year’s oasis sales to make a significant purchase then.
Boost the public’s approval rating.
At that time.
At least he wouldn’t fall into a people’s war, the main enemy still being those opposition forces supported by the United States, which made him quite troubled.
If he could preemptively act strongly, he wouldn’t have waited until today.
Various federations.
Tribes.
Factions.
ReligionX.
…
The current Libya was already quite chaotic internally, even among his own people, many were uncertain whether they were friend or foe, and he couldn’t be sure whether they would sell him out at a critical moment.
He couldn’t be sure.
Feeling stifled.
This huge mess wasn’t easy to sort out. As he contemplated this, he couldn’t help but think back to the collaboration with the black prison, the content was actually quite simple.
— Protection.
Within Libya, for the enterprises shielded by the black prison, he had to settle all problems.
The most critical part.
Was the sentence as he left — if this crisis couldn’t be resolved, we could help, but the cost would also be exceedingly high.
Arrogant.
Boastful.
Almost to the extreme.
Yet.
He felt it was a bit believable, the power of the black prison in Africa was quite strong, as a country’s president, he knew quite a bit. They were a true dark emperor.
At least.
Their range of influence was quite broad.
Even.
Even Kovalro couldn’t get the better of them, if they could help him, it should be in terms of intelligence, it couldn’t possibly be that they’d send troops to suppress the insurgency?
Ha!
How could it be possible?
