After a brief understanding, the two parties talked about the mine.
Kellin said regretfully: "I'm sorry, everyone. I also really want to solve the security problem near the iron mine, but my guards must protect the safety of Marl City, and I can't allocate too many people to patrol the mine."
The area of the iron mine is very large, and unless Kellin is willing to send a fully armed guard to protect them, safety cannot be guaranteed.
But obviously, Kellin had no such intention.
Lu Yong emphasized: "Chief Kellin, if we can mine safely, we are willing to contribute a little to the construction of Mar City."
Meng Xiaobai clearly saw a somewhat moved look on Kellin's face. She was young and had not yet learned to hide her emotions.
But after thinking for a while, she still said in embarrassment: "Chief Kaimodori, that bastard, has declared that the Mal Iron Mine will be his property. His power is too strong, and I can't compete with him unless Keira
The Earth King can wake up, otherwise no one in Kaila State can stop him."
Meng Xiaobai and Lu Yong looked at each other. It seemed that this Kellin was difficult to rely on and she had to rely on herself.
As for Kaimodori, he was even more greedy. The Shanxin Group once sent people to negotiate with him. But he kicked them out directly and refused to admit that the Shanxin Group purchased the mine from the Senilia Land Resources Department.
"Chief Kellin." Meng Xiaobai said, "Shanxin Group is now acquired by me. I cannot return without success this time. The mine must be started. Safety issues must be solved by ourselves."
"But please, Chief Kellin, please help us!" Meng Xiaobai emphasized, "The chief only needs to send a few people to set up a security guard team. I will provide their wages, weapons and equipment."
"Is this possible?" Kellin's blue gem-like eyes looked at him curiously. If it was just to flirt with someone, there would be no problem at all.
There are many villagers in the surrounding villages who have no food to eat, so it is easy to recruit people. The most important thing is weapons and equipment.
"It works!" Meng Xiaobai nodded vigorously. He didn't expect this little girl to solve any problems. All he wanted was her name as chief.
If they arrange their own guards, there will be friction and it will cause a lot of trouble in the local area. But if they have the name of Chief Kellin, all this will be legal and reasonable.
"Okay, I can promise you this!" Kellin agreed.
Before leaving, Meng Xiaobai also gave Kellin some small gifts, such as some smart products produced by Deep Space Technology. Kellin couldn't put it down after getting them. Although she is a chief, she grew up in France and is more accustomed to modern life.
I really like these things.
These smart products are not yet available in France. To express her gratitude, Kailin specially gave Meng Xiaobai a gem in return.
After leaving the chief's mansion, Lu Yong asked worriedly: "Mr. Meng, the risk is too high for us to equip our own security guards."
"The gangsters here are all ruthless guys with real guns and live ammunition! Once danger occurs, it will be a serious accident that affects human life!"
"Don't worry, we're not bad either." Meng Xiaobai comforted.
Meng Xiaobai followed Lu Yong to the residence of local workers of Shanxin Group. This is a small mining town, completely built by Shanxin Group. Most of the people living there are workers from China. There are also a small number of local black people.
, some workers have even married local women and started families.
Lu Yong summoned several foremans and introduced Meng Xiaobai to them.
"Hello, Mr. Meng!" The foremen greeted Meng Xiaobai one after another. Whether they can eat or not depends on the new boss.
"Everyone, thanks for your hard work, you are here." Meng Xiaobai said a few words briefly and said: "The mine must start working."
Several foremen looked at each other with embarrassed expressions. One of them, Cheng Mu, a dark-skinned and older foreman, said: "Mr. Meng, it's not that we don't want to start work. You guys have traveled thousands of miles to come to this backward African country.
Just to make some money and go back to China."
"But those gangsters are so scary. They often come to the mine to harass us. On our way back and forth, we were even robbed! They even dared to kill people!"
"When I ask everyone to start work, they will naturally consider this issue." Meng Xiaobai said, "I have reached an agreement with Chief Kellin and purchased a batch of weapons and equipment. You several foremen will make arrangements to set up a security guard team."
"Chief Kellin will also send people to protect you when the time comes. I still have a batch of goods in the country, which will be delivered in the next two days. With these treasures, you can rest assured of your safety!"
"Also, your salary and benefits have been improved here. You can see the details later."
"Well... well, let's talk to the big guys." Although Cheng Mu felt guilty, he still agreed because if they didn't want to do it, they would have left long ago.
These workers come to Africa for various reasons. Some have debts at home, some want to gain wealth through insurance, and some are employees arranged by Shanxin Group here. In short, they all want to make money.
As long as safety can be guaranteed, they are willing to start work.
A few days later, at the seaport of Senilia, a batch of goods shipped from China was loaded and unloaded ashore, transported to the city of Mar, and finally to the miner's town.
In the mining town, Chinese and black workers came out to look out curiously. They had heard that new supplies had been shipped from the country, and work would start as soon as the supplies arrived.
The workers were very worried about starting work. What would they do if they encountered gangsters again?
Meng Xiaobai not only did not stop them from watching the excitement, but also specifically asked the foremen to call everyone out and introduce them to the supplies shipped this time.
The most eye-catching thing is those vehicles. This batch of supplies were all loaded and transported on off-road vehicles. There were twenty vehicles in total, and they contained various goods.
Except for the cities where a few big chiefs live, there are no decent roads in Keira State, so here, only off-road jeeps can run.
As for these Jeeps, the workers had never seen them before, and they didn't seem to be any brand they recognized.
The black and dark green body paint, the powerful and domineering front, and the tall body make it look majestic.
The workers had gathered in a circle. Meng Xiaobai took a loudspeaker and shouted: "Look, everyone, this is the Blue Star-Tiejia series off-road vehicle newly developed by our Deep Space Technology and Blue Star Automobile Manufacturing Plant."
"It is more powerful than any off-road vehicle you know. In order to protect the safety of everyone and materials, the body metal of these off-road vehicles uses lx1-28 bulletproof special steel self-developed by our Shanxin Group. This steel has reached
It meets military standards and is completely bulletproof and explosion-proof!”
"At the same time, its glass and tires are all made of bulletproof materials! It's full of horsepower, so it's no problem to travel across mountains and rivers!"
Meng Xiaobai's words made everyone's eyes light up. The engineer, Cheng Mu, stepped forward and touched the car body, and said in surprise: "The company actually provides us with such a good thing?"
"Is it really bulletproof?" someone asked.
"If you don't believe it, let's try it now." Meng Xiaobai asked the crowd to disperse and ordered a security guard with a gun to shoot at the armored off-road vehicle.
In this place, it is normal for security to carry a gun. Not holding a gun means killing the gangsters. As long as you apply for a security certificate and a gun certificate, you can legally hold a gun.
"Da da da!" The security guard fired a bunch of bullets at the off-road vehicle. The body, tires and windows were all shot. However, there were only some bullet marks on the off-road vehicle and the body was intact!
"It's really bulletproof!" the workers shouted.
"Great, with this armored vehicle, it will be much safer to go to the mines in the future!"
"Yes, our coworker who died before was shot by a gangster while driving!"
"Hahaha, our new boss is really capable!" Cheng Mu laughed. Shanxin Group also tried to provide them with safety measures before, but they couldn't get such a treasure.
"Everyone, besides the car, we have other things!" Meng Xiaobai asked people to get on the car and unload the goods.
"Small reconnaissance drone!" Meng Xiaobai opened a large box with a drone inside.
These drones are not products of Deep Space Technology, but Taijiang drones bought from China, which were then modified and installed with more sensors and replaced with lithium-air batteries from Deep Space Technology.
equipment.
After resetting the intelligent system, this drone now has super endurance and long-distance reconnaissance functions.
Of course, it is only a small drone, limited to civilian use, otherwise it would not be able to pass customs.
With this kind of performance, as long as it is well arranged and under the control of the intelligent system, the situation around the mine can be monitored in real time to ensure safety.
They brought dozens of such drones.
In addition, there are some daily necessities, such as medicine, food, clothing, crop seeds, etc.
Meng Xiaobai asked the foreman to distribute the materials. Each work group had its own armored off-road vehicle, and the drones were handed over to the security team for unified management.
…
When Kellin heard that supplies from the Shanxin Group had arrived, she also sent the guards she recruited as agreed, including security weapons, body armor, firearms, etc. that Meng Xiaobai paid for.
These people were all very skinny, and they were probably poor people from nearby villages. They had not received any professional training. Meng Xiaobai probably ran away when they were in danger.
But he didn't care, all he wanted was the title of Kellin Guards.
If Shanxin Group's security personnel encounter a gangster and kill him, the consequences will be very troublesome, because it will be difficult to prove that they killed a gangster. But if Kellin's guards kill the gangster, there will be no problem at all.
After everything was arranged, the workers in the mining town set off again to the iron mines, preparing to restart work.
Before departure, drones had been flown out for reconnaissance. Engineering vehicles were walking in the middle, and armored off-road vehicles carried workers, guarding the engineering vehicles from the front, rear, and left.
This time, Meng Xiaobai, Lu Yong, and Lin Hong also sat in armored off-road vehicles and went to the mine to check.
