Oliver really didn’t transfer the assets. He was just not capable enough, but he was stubborn and couldn’t listen to other people’s advice, so he caused heavy losses to the company.
But in Oliver's view, the investment mistake was not due to ability, but because of the greed of the Afrikaners, so the investment in Lourenço Marquez was all in vain.
What should be noted here is that most of Oliver's investments in Lourenço Marquez were acquired by Stoudemire at a low price and have nothing to do with Roque.
"I don't mean to offend, but mistakes are mistakes. We are a mining company, not a plantation company, so our profits should be invested in more mines instead of investing in overseas farms - especially in Portugal.
People’s farms, do you think the Portuguese can protect your investment? They can’t even protect their own property.” Robert himself is an Afrikaner, and with Roque’s support, he also controls the company’s security department, so there is no way he can protect his own property.
Not afraid of Oliver.
Even though the company underwent extensive personnel changes due to the death of Jean Casimir Perrier, Robert's status was not affected in any way.
"If it weren't for the instigation from Southern Africa, the civil war would never have broken out in Lorenzo Marquez." Oliver seemed to be defending himself, but he missed the point.
"No ifs!" Robert silenced Oliver with one sentence.
"Okay, let's go back to the original question, what impact will it have on us if we terminate the contract with the Umbrella Company?" Elvis is definitely more inclined to Oliver.
But at the same time, I don’t dare to offend Roque. Umbrella Company has thousands of mercenaries in Madagascar. Not only Casimir Perrier Company, many industrial and mining companies hire mercenaries from Umbrella Company, so I want to offend Roque.
The consequences may be serious.
But the 140,000 pounds per year really made Elvis feel distressed. What could he do with so much money? Why should he use the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company in vain?
3.5 million francs is not a small number. French Impressionist painter Manet's "Luncheon on the Grass" only sold for 3,000 francs the year before last.
"If the contract with the umbrella company is terminated, it means that our mine will lose the protection of professional mercenaries——"
"Our company now has 2,400 mercenaries, and the annual cost is less than 1.5 million francs. The Umbrella Company only sends less than 600 mercenaries to our company, but it has to pay the Umbrella Company 3.5 million every year. Is it true?
Can't we use this money to expand the size of our own mercenaries?" Robert started to speak, but was rudely interrupted by Oliver.
"The combat effectiveness of mercenaries is not determined by the number of people -" Robert has become accustomed to Oliver's rudeness, and is still slow and calm without being arrogant or impetuous.
"This is simply ridiculous!" Oliver was still shouting. He really didn't understand the mercenary industry.
The crux of the matter is that Oliver thinks he understands, which is the most ridiculous thing.
"Shut up!" Elvis couldn't stand Oliver's arrogance.
"If we lose the protection of the umbrella company, then I don't think the existing security personnel can guarantee the smooth operation of the mine. On the contrary, it is precisely because of the existence of the umbrella company that our security personnel can work honestly. If we lose the umbrella
Without the deterrence of the company, it will bring irreparable losses to us." Robert's attitude was firm. The local security personnel hired by Casimir Perrier Company are all Malagasy. Without the deterrence of the Umbrella Company, these
The Malagasy people will probably rebel first, and the Perrier family will suffer the most at that time. Although Roque's interests will inevitably suffer losses, the shares in Casimir Perrier's company are only owned by Roque.
An insignificant part of the assets.
For the Perrier family, Casimir Perrier Company is the lifeblood.
"If we terminate the contract with Umbrella Company, will the Lord be angry?" Ellis, the financial director of Casimir Perrier and Elvis's youngest son, interjected.
In name, Ellis is also a top student majoring in mathematics at the University of Paris. In fact, this guy is also an idiot. Umbrella Company is Rock's industry. If Casimir Perrier terminates its contract with Umbrella Company, what will Rock do?
Not angry?
Questions that you know the answer to with your toes.
"It is unrealistic to terminate the contract, but the total contract amount must be reduced. 3.5 million francs per year is too much. The average amount we spend on each mercenary is almost 6,000 francs. This is not in line with Casimir Perrier.
The interests of the company." Elvis still didn't dare to break with Rock, but this decision was also a test of Rock's bottom line. If Rock didn't care, then Elvis would take further actions.
Six thousand francs sounds like a lot, but in fact it is not much. The exchange rate between pounds and francs is about 1:25, so six thousand francs is only 240 pounds.
The mercenaries stationed overseas by the Umbrella Company also receive overseas allowances on top of their basic salary. The annual salary has reached about 200 pounds. That is to say, Roque has shares in Casimir Perrier Company, so the Umbrella Company only
They will only charge 240 pounds. Other companies in Madagascar have to hire mercenaries from the Umbrella Company, and the annual cost per person is at least 300 pounds. If the work is more dangerous and the work location is remote, it can even reach 500 pounds per year.
"Six thousand francs a year is not much. The salary of the French staff employed by our company in the past two years has been more than 10,000 francs. Compared with those unlearned and unskilled guys, mercenaries are definitely worth their money." Robert actually said.
It’s also a long-standing grudge.
After the death of Jean Casimir Perrier, with the addition of the Elvis family, great changes have taken place in the management of Casimir Perrier Company in the past two years. Elvis and Avery
It's not too much, but Oliver used his power as general manager to recruit many friends into Casimir Perrier's company.
These foxy friends are actually vampires. They enrich their own pockets and make the entire Casimir Perrier company a mess. Many old employees from the Jean Casimir Perrier era left one after another because they couldn't bear it.<
/p>
Although Robert was also intolerable, he had to compromise with Oliver because of his responsibilities.
"Who doesn't want to learn to ignore it? Say it clearly!" Oliver's angry look was really ugly.
"Okay, let's do it, Robert, find a time to talk to Mr. Jonathan from Umbrella Company." Elvis made up his mind to gradually get rid of Rock's influence on Casimir Perrier Company. p>
Jonathan is Captain Jacob, who also remains anonymous.
After arriving in Madagascar, Robert and Captain Mars, whose alias was Todd, entered the Casimir Perrier Company, while Jonathan went to Umbrella and now serves as the head of the Umbrella Company's Madagascar branch.
Returning to his office, Robert immediately sent a telegram to Jonathan.
Miraculously, the Umbrella Company's headquarters in Madagascar is not on the island of Madagascar, but on the island of Mayotte in the Comoros Islands.
Mayotte covers an area of 374 square kilometers. In 1843, Mayotte became a French colony. Since then, hundreds of French immigrants have come to Mayotte and become residents of Mayotte.
But a hurricane ten years ago almost destroyed the only port town on Mayotte. After that, the French on the island left one after another, and Mayotte almost became an uninhabited island.
Although Mayotte was abandoned, its geographical location is very important and there is a natural port on the island, so it was purchased by Umbrella Company for 150,000 francs and became the headquarters of Umbrella Company in Madagascar. p>
Mayotte was Umbrella's largest overseas asset before it bought Port Elizabeth. There is now a mercenary training base on the island. Gurkha mercenaries hired from Nepal in southern Africa are all accepted in Mayotte.
A period of training before heading to southern Africa in batches.
The only port on the island has also been renovated. The 800-meter-long pier can dock 10,000-ton giant ships. There are now more than 6,000 residents on the island, almost all of whom are family members of Umbrella Company employees.
Before Jonathan received the telegram, he immediately sent a telegram to Eagle Fort.
"Haha, the people of the Perrier family are really impatient -" Roque was really not angry. On the contrary, Roque was a little happy. If the Perrier family had always been informed, then Roque would be too embarrassed to turn his back directly. p>
There is no need to worry now. Since the Perrier family is trying to reduce Roque's influence in Casimir Perrier Company, Roque does not mind taking the influence of the Perrier family away from Casimir Perrier Company.
Clearing it is not difficult for Rock, and he doesn’t even need to worry about it.
Zach opened his mouth and laughed silently. The black hole in his mouth was intimidating. Zach was very good at this kind of thing. Everything that was inconvenient for Rock to do by himself was handled by Zach.
Soon, according to the requirements of Casimir Perrier Company, Umbrella Company and Casimir Perrier Company re-signed an employment contract.
According to the contract, Umbrella Company will send 150 mercenaries to Casimir Perrier Company, and Casimir Perrier Company will pay Umbrella Company 1.5 million francs per year for this.
It seems that Casimir Perrier Company has indeed spent less money, but the costs are rising. Compared with other companies of Umbrella Company in Madagascar, Casimir Perrier Company has no cost advantage.
.
The impact was immediate. At the end of May, a riot broke out at a mine of the Casimir Perrier Company in Ankelika, a mountainous area in the northwest of Madagascar. The security guards of the mine colluded with the miners and killed the miners.
Management personnel, and blew up the entire mine, and then all the miners dispersed.
Only then did Elvis and Oliver realize the importance of the Umbrella Company.
