Catero is an important industrial city in the west of Canem, especially the area where the hotel is located, and it feels like people are feasting and feasting after nightfall.
The street lights along the street were slightly dim, but against the backdrop of the dark night, it looked like a bright bead chain had been left behind. It also reflected the faint and graceful figures swaying in the streets outside the hotel.
Although the dark skin color of Yoruba women and the body odor that cannot be completely concealed by low-quality perfume have become a psychological obstacle that is difficult for the Chinese to overcome, the loneliness that cannot be dismissed as time goes by and the charming night are like surging waves.
The flash flood destroyed the seemingly solid obstacle, and from the depths of my heart I felt an irresistible temptation floating in front of my eyes, which lingered.
Sitting in the car, Dong Chengpeng looked out the window intentionally or unintentionally. He could not suppress the restlessness in his heart at these exotic and vulgar fans standing on the street, but he had more worries in his heart.
After just over half a day of contact, he could clearly feel that whether Liang Yuan or Guo Jian spoke and looked in front of Han Shaorong, they were very defensive towards him.
Before Han Shaorong came to Africa in person, he didn't have this feeling, or Liang Yuan and Guo Jian didn't behave very obviously.
They were driving to the living area of the Chinese operations team of Catero Steel Plant. Han Shaorong and Yu Jinjie were going to express condolences to the employees of Pai Yi Africa who had been working for nearly three years, so he naturally wanted to accompany them.
Dong Chengpeng is not directly responsible for the work of Xihai Steel and Catero Steel Plant. He usually has limited contact with the operation team, but he still understands the basic situation.
The last remaining dispatched employees more or less all received shares in Xihai Steel.
The market value corresponding to these shares can be said to be a drop in the ocean compared to the net worth of Han Shaorong and Yu Jinjie. However, the market value of three to five million or even tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is also the envy of ordinary people. It is worth spending several years or more than ten years of youth or hard work.
The wealth you strive for.
Even after the dispatched employees broke away from the New Steel Union and joined the more shallow Xihai Steel, and their return to the country was far away, the vast majority of them were still satisfied - those who were dissatisfied had either returned to the country or followed
Zhang Chaoyang went to Benin to build the Cotonou Steel Plant.
This time, Yu Jinjie and Han Shaorong came over to express condolences to the dispatched employees. They did not come empty-handed. They brought computers, game consoles, jukeboxes, mahjong tables and other entertainment facilities. The meeting was naturally warm and friendly, and they won several rounds of warm applause.
Then he rushed back to the hotel - Dong Chengpeng felt that Yu Jinjie and Han Shaorong's condolences were a bit superficial and did not go in depth. They almost delivered things and left after saying a few words, but he did not have the position to suggest that they do more.
Officials from President Buhari's office and the head of the Guard arrived at the hotel early at noon. They were not satisfied with the work of the Oyo State Police Command. They were relieved and took over the security work of the hotel in the afternoon.
There was nothing wrong with leaving the hotel at night, but when I returned to the hotel, three cars including the bodyguards were stopped at the gate.
Military policemen carrying automatic rifles gathered in front of the car and conducted a strict interrogation. This was a situation that would never be seen in China before they were allowed to enter. Dong Chengpeng and Yu Jinjie both felt impatient when they saw Han Shaorong.
As a core figure in the organizer of the entire event, he did not receive any preferential treatment. No one would be surprised.
Comfortable.
After finally checking, the three cars drove slowly towards the hotel. Dong Chengpeng saw in the rearview mirror that the military police at the gate were still staring at their cars warily, while Han Shaorong was still frowning and said:
"The impact of the Lake Norquay attack has not subsided. President Buhari will be here tomorrow, so it is normal for the situation to be a little more turbulent. In fact, in the past two months, the coast of the Gulf of Guinea has been heavily guarded, and major security companies have
Increase service prices - these security companies are also the masters of meat and bones!"
Liang Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at Dong Chengpeng in the rearview mirror, his eyes a little sharp.
Dong Chengpeng ignored the dissatisfaction or warning in Liang Yuan's eyes, but he said nothing more. Instead, he looked at the reaction of Han Shaorong who was sitting in front of him from the last row where he sat.
The impact of the attack on Lake Norquay Manor, coupled with the violent security case of Dracula Moor, has caused many overseas companies to rush to strengthen security. However, this area has qualified security companies with good reputations and strong security companies to provide security services.
Just a few.
On the one hand, the supply of security services exceeds demand. On the other hand, security companies have naturally increased their equipment and manpower scale and training intensity, and accordingly the prices of the security services they provide have also increased.
The parks and ports along Lake Cornero, as well as many factories and dormitories inside, are basically provided by Cornero Security Company with additional armed guards. This time, only the newly added manpower, equipment, etc. will be included in the quotation.
Improvement, no sky-high prices.
Outside of Lake Conero, if a company, wealthy person or political official wants the security company to provide services, you have to be mentally prepared to vomit blood at that moment.
At the Catero Steel Plant, Liang Yuan and Guo Jian had never trusted the locals and the local security company enough, and were afraid that they would collude with each other.
During the period that the Catero Steel Plant was harassed by miners from the Bosso Iron Mine for more than half a year, there were many break-ins and smashing incidents, and some Chinese employees were injured.
Whenever conflicts occur, most local employees stand by and watch, and some even collude with the troubled miners or even take advantage of the chaos to steal.
Can the locals still be trusted?
Previously, Zhang Chaoyang was in charge of the affairs of the Catero Steel Plant, and his team was responsible for the specific implementation. Following Zhang Chaoyang's ideas, the Catero Steel Plant hired a domestic security company as internal security guards and a local security company as armed guards.
The reason for this arrangement is mainly because domestic security companies are state-controlled and, in compliance with relevant domestic regulations, are not allowed to equip firearms within the territory.
When Zhang Chaoyang changed his job to Tianyue, Liang Yuan officially became the chairman of Xihai Steel, and Chen Ruhao joined him. Liang Yuan went against all opinions and thought of terminating the cooperation agreement with the original security company and contracting with a British company named Conns.
Security Services negotiated a partnership with the company to provide fully armed security for the Catero Steel Plant.
During the negotiation, the attack on Lake Norquay Manor happened, and Cones Security Consultants directly increased the agreed price significantly. If Cartero Steel Plant accepted it in full, the annual security cost it would need to pay would be as high as 20 million US dollars.
At present, millions of tons of iron ore can be transported from the Bosso Iron Mine to the furnaces of the Catero Steel Plant every year only through roads in poor condition. The freight costs are quite staggering. If you include the additional annual payment of this
With such high security costs, Catero Steel Plant not only sees no possibility of making a profit, it even has to bear a considerable amount of losses.
As the president of Huamao's African office, Dong Chengpeng mainly represents Huamao and serves as a director of Fulkov Petrochemical Group.
In addition to letting Chen Xiaoping concurrently serve as a director of Xihai Steel, Han Shaorong did not arrange for Dong Chengpeng to concurrently hold this position, nor did he directly go to Catero Steel Plant to take up a concurrent position. This was mainly to take care of Liang Yuan's emotions, saying that he and Chen Ruhao were not restrained.
the meaning of.
Logically speaking, Dong Chengpeng should not dictate the affairs of Cateroe Steel Plant and Xihai Steel, and should communicate with Han Shaorong privately if he has any opinions. However, he still sat in front of Yu Jinjie, Liang Yuan, Chen Ruhao and others.
In front of a commercial vehicle, I wanted to raise the issue of security.
This was mainly because Dong Chengpeng knew very well that except for Han Shaorong and Hua Mao, he could no longer go back to Dongsheng.
Even though he was not happy when Han Shaorong sent him to Draculamore, he still wanted to try his best to handle African affairs well in order to win Han Shaorong's trust.
The suggestion that Dong Chengpeng really wants to make is actually very simple. It is that the problem of Catero Steel Plant being attacked by miners before is not about the insufficient security force. Especially now that the relationship with Bosso Iron Mine and the miners has been completely resolved from a higher level.
There is no need to spend so much extra money to replace the security company in the UK.
Of course, it was not that Dong Chengpeng had not suggested it to Han Shaorong in private, but Han Shaorong did not respond to him. He believed that Han Shaorong was worried that Liang Yuan would get emotional, or that Han Shaorong had discussed this issue with Liang Yuan, but Liang Yuan insisted on his existing opinions.
Dong Chengpeng felt that Han Shaorong should not care too much about Liang Yuan's thoughts, or that he should take the initiative to take the blame for Han Shaorong so that Han Shaorong could more easily make decisions that were beneficial to Huamao, so he thought of directly making another decision at this juncture.
Ask this question.
Guo Jian and Dong Chengpeng were sitting side by side in the back corner of the commercial vehicle, looking at the faces of Dong Chengpeng, Liang Yuan, Han Shaorong and others through the street lights coming through.
Although Liang Yuan did not explain everything to him - Liang Yuan certainly could not explain everything to him - Liang Yuan insisted on hiring Cones Security Consulting Company to provide comprehensive armed guards for the Catero Steel Plant, so he secretly investigated Kang.
Information from Enns Security Consultants.
Cones Security Consulting Company was very clean and had no connection with the Evans Foundation. But thinking about the conversation between Liang Yuan and Ryan Fortis, Guo Jian didn't believe that things were really that simple.
Of course, Guo Jian sees some things clearly, but he knows how to pretend to be confused.
At this time, Dong Chengpeng intervened to disrupt the affairs of Huang Security Company, and he wanted to see how Liang Yuan would respond.
After participating in the conversation between Liang Yuan and Ryan Fortis, Guo Jian thought he was in the same boat as Liang Yuan, but Xihai Steel gave the operation team shares, and he wanted to officially join Xihai Steel and serve as a member of the operation team.
Liang Yuan did not help him fight for a share of the shares.
Even though Liang Yuan comforted him many times afterwards, they were all words but no real words, and he felt somewhat disappointed and frustrated.
So he is just sitting back and watching, not wanting to take the initiative to target Dong Chengpeng on behalf of Liang Yuan, even though Dong Chengpeng is probably Cao Mo's man.
