that night.
Black and white first arrived at the South Sudan airport in Africa for on-site monitoring. Qi Yun himself was discussing with their ministerial senior officials in South Sudan.
The next afternoon, Lu Yang arrived in South Sudan by plane. Qi Yun brought a middle-aged man named Ahmed to meet Lu Yang.
"This is the future prime minister." Qi Yun introduced.
"Haha, you've won the prize. There's still no news about it." Ahmed took the initiative to hold Lu Yang's hand.
Lu Yang smiled. In his previous life, he liked to watch news from all over the world. In his impression, Ahmed was indeed the next South Sudanese president.
"I believe you can." Lu Yang said.
"Thank you." Ahmed said: "I heard that you want to buy our aluminum mine, we welcome your investment."
Lu Yang smiled and said: "I came to invest this time, it's not a small sum, I bet you will feel crazy about it."
Ahmed was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "How much is the investment?"
Lu Yang said, "Let's talk slowly."
Ahmed is a little anxious, but Lu Yang is not in a hurry, and he can't show too much. He already knows clearly from Qi Yun that Lu Yang is a super rich man with a worth of 400 billion U.S. dollars and 200 billion U.S. dollars in cash. The sum of money is higher than the national GDP of South Sudan. If Lu Yang can fully invest here, the economic level of South Sudan will be greatly improved.
"I have prepared a family dinner for you, please come to my house as a guest." Ahmed said.
Lu Yang nodded, and followed Ahmed to his home, escorted by a police car along the way, the scene was very grand.
When he arrived at Ahmed's home, he sat down with Qi Yun and Ahmed and chatted.
"Oh, it's a pity that I'm not capable enough. I've seen developed countries, but I'm not capable of making our country look like those developed countries." Ahmed drank two glasses of wine and kept sighing.
Lu Yang said: "Are you determined to revitalize your country?"
"Of course." Ahmed said excitedly: "I joined the guerrillas at the age of 19, and then went abroad to study. My dream is to revitalize my country."
Ahmed's expression was a little dark, and he said: "But our country is too poor, no one is willing to develop it, and no one is willing to help us."
Lu Yang asked: "What if I say I am willing to help you develop?"
"You really want to?" Ahmed asked.
Lu Yang said: "The original intention is to be willing, but I want to find someone who can really sit in the position of president to always support me and my consortium companions. If there is no strong president to guarantee our business, I will change it today. , change one tomorrow, how will our business continue?"
Ahmed's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you want to participate in our country's presidential election?"
Lu Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in politics, but I want to support a capable person who really wants to fight for the revitalization of his country to become the president. Do you have this interest?"
Last night, Qi Yun and Lu Yangchang talked about this matter, specifically discussing the matter of Ahmed. This is a powerful figure who is indeed capable of gaining the support of the nobles in South Sudan, and this kid joined the guerrillas back then. In the current South Sudanese army, more than 80% of the senior officials are from guerrillas, and they have a close relationship with this kid.
If he can be made president and this person is sure to support Lu Yang, Lu Yang will dare to invest here.
Ahmed thought for a while and said, "In the general election in a few months, I have a certain chance of being elected president, but I also have a strong opponent, and some chiefs in the country support him."
Lu Yang asked: "If I can bring you tens of billions of dollars in investment, can you become the president?"
Ahmed said: "Then I will definitely be elected."
Lu Yang smiled, money is the easiest way to buy votes, he continued: "If we help you choose, I have a request."
"What request?" Ahmed asked.
Lu Yang said: "I want you to use the army to help me eliminate an enemy at the junction of the four countries of Central Africa, South Sudan, Sudan and Chad."
Ahmed frowned and said, "This is a bit difficult."
Lu Yang shook his head and said: "It's not difficult. It's not a matter of a few months, but a year later. If you provide a few places, I will send them to study in an internationally renowned military academy, and they will be free of charge. I will provide you with a batch of military weapons, I have finished the conditions, and you can decide the rest."
"Are you willing to provide us with military weapons?" Ahmed was surprised.
Now South Sudan is poor and has no money to buy military weapons sold by countries all over the world, and their own country has no ability to make weapons.
The precision of military lathes is far beyond that of ordinary equipment, so South Sudan cannot manufacture them.
Lu Yang said: "I can provide you with a large amount."
"Okay, then I agree to this matter." Ahmed said.
In fact, South Sudan is still a country organized in the form of chief tribes. Ahmed agreed because he was born in one of the largest chief tribes in South Sudan. If Lu Yang is willing to provide equipment, he can quickly Arm your own tribe and attack those hostile tribes.
"Very good, the auction will be held later, I will buy the mines you sold in large sums, and let you earn more than one billion dollars at a time." Lu Yang said.
Ahmed was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Lu Yang to play with such a big hand, one time is more than one billion US dollars.
"Thank you, we will definitely be best partners," Ahmed said.
Lu Yang smiled, and after eating, he and Ahmed came to the auction site. In the auction site, all the people who came to participate in the auction had arrived, and the most eye-catching one was Liu Jie himself. on site.
Lu Yang wished he could kill Liu Jie with a single shot, but in that case, he himself was not sure that he would be able to return to Huaxia alive.
"Everyone is here, the auction begins." Ahmed presided over the auction himself.
There are a total of 16 mines in this auction, the lowest price is 5 million US dollars, and the most expensive is 100 million US dollars.
These mines have only undergone simple detection, and the existence of aluminum ore can be confirmed, but it is impossible to determine whether there are veins of aluminum ore underneath.
If there is, the person who buys it will get rich. If not, if it is bought at the auction price, it will definitely lose money. This is a big gamble.
"For the first mine, the bidding starts at US$5 million, and the price will increase by no less than US$1 million each time." Ahmed shouted.
Lu Yang was the first to raise the sign.
"5 million, someone has already offered 5 million." Ahmed shouted.
Someone holds up a sign.
"6000000."
"7 million."
…
"10 million." Liu Jie held up the sign.
"It's 10 million. Has anyone offered a higher price?" Ahmed asked.
Liu Jie is very proud of his bid. Basically, this price is already the highest price. Even if he gets the aluminum ore, if he cannot produce high-quality aluminum alloy products like his family, he can only protect his capital.
"15 million." Lu Yang held up the sign.
Liu Jie looked at Lu Yang in surprise. Even his family could only save capital at this price. He shook his head and gave up the auction.
Ahmed was pleasantly surprised, asked three times in a row, and shouted: "Deal."
There was a commotion at the scene, and everyone looked at Lu Yang, feeling that Lu Yang was a fool, or someone who disrupted the venue and deliberately raised prices.
Ahmed said excitedly: "The second mine is located in the Coelio Mountains, and the starting price is US$10 million."
Liu Jie was the first to hold up the sign and said, "20 million."
He was too lazy to bid slowly like others, and directly mentioned the highest price, and everyone around sighed and gave up bidding.
"This kid is really dark, relying on his family's ability to smelt aluminum, he doesn't want us to make money at all."
"The bastard."
…
People around scolded one after another.
Liu Jie didn't care, and waited for Ahmed to drop the hammer. Just when Ahmed shouted three times in a row that he was about to drop the hammer, Lu Yang raised the sign and said, "30 million US dollars."
Once shouted to the top, if Liu Jie bought the mine, he would not earn a penny.
Liu Jie was stunned by Lu Yang again, and looked back at Lu Yang. He didn't understand the meaning of Lu Yang's bidding
Qi Yun didn't quite understand either. According to the previous agreement between the two, Lu Yang shouldn't spend so much money to buy the mine.
Ahmed shouted excitedly: "Deal, the next mine, the starting price is 15 million US dollars."
Liu Jie didn't rush to raise the sign this time, but looked at Lu Yang. Lu Yang raised the sign and said, "30 million US dollars."
This price was still the highest price, people around gave up one after another, and Liu Jie also gave up.
Ahmed was really excited. The three consecutive mines were all in his tribal area, which was equivalent to giving him all the money.
"The next mine, this time in the territory of the Ratala family, starts at $30 million," Ahmed said.
Lu Yang held up the sign and said, "50 million US dollars."
Liu Jie held up the sign and said, "US$60 million."
Lu Yang raised it again and said, "70 million US dollars."
Liu Jie became anxious and shouted, "80 million US dollars."
Lu Yang smiled and said, "90 million dollars."
"I'll offer 100 million." Liu Jie shouted excitedly.
Everyone thought that Liu Jie and Lu Yang were in a match, but no one knew that Liu Jie wanted to buy this mine after detailed measurements and confirmed that the mineral deposits below were worth 300 million U.S. dollars.
Lu Yang said: "130 million."
Liu Jie was stunned. He looked at Lu Yang, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "150 million."
Lu Yang smiled, put the sign on his lap, and stopped talking.
Ahmed looked at the price with some annoyance, and said, "150 million, deal."
Liu Jie took the mine.
Lu Yang sneered from the sidelines, now it looks like Liu Jie can earn the 50 million, but counting all kinds of taxes and labor costs, he can only earn tens of millions, but a few months later when the price of aluminum plummets , he will have a net loss of more than 50 million yuan.
