Chapter 299: Black Cross Force, Two Major Shareholders and Greedy People
In the resident office of Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company in Pretoria, Southern Africa.

When Zhao Mancang understood the situation clearly, he couldn't help but take a breath and his expression became very interesting.

It turned out that the Rand Central Gold Mine had once again had a fight between two shareholders due to the issue of gold profit distribution. One of the major shareholders hired the three notorious dark world organizations, the Fox Mercenary Group, the Drug Cartel and the Vulture Corps, to assassinate the other shareholder.

As a result, this incident caused a huge riot, and several other shareholders were also affected and were almost killed by the three major organizations including the Fox Mercenary Group.

So several major shareholders joined together and took care of the Fox Mercenary Group.

There were several rounds of fighting, and finally the Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company was involved, with nearly twenty people killed or injured.

Sun Zhonghan knew that such a big thing had happened and he could not handle it alone, so he called Zhao Mancang.

With so many casualties, Zhao Mancang couldn't handle it all by himself.

"How many people died? How many people were seriously injured and how many were slightly injured?"

Zhao Mancang asked in a deep voice.

He didn't care about the situation of those shareholders. The most important thing now was the affairs of the members of Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company, so nothing else mattered.

"Twelve people died, three were seriously injured, and two were slightly injured."

hiss!
Looking at Sun Zhonghan with red eyes, Zhao Mancang wanted to curse, but he held back the words when they came to his lips.

Forget it, let’s save people first.

There is no point in scolding people, saving people is what matters.

The shareholders of the Rand Central Gold Mine were all greedy people. With the arrival of the 1970s, the annual gold production increased day by day. Previously, the annual output was perhaps only about 500 tons.

But in recent years it has increased to 800 tons, and even exceeded 900 tons this year, and it is likely to increase to 1,000 tons next year.

You have to know that this is one thousand tons of gold. According to the current international gold price of US$38 per ounce, one thousand tons of gold is worth US$1.34 billion.

1.34 billion US dollars is definitely a huge amount of money, and such a sum of money can be pocketed with a little manipulation. Which shareholder would not want it?

Selling white drugs, doing yellow drugs, running casinos, etc., all these businesses that make money quickly are not as profitable as mining gold.

Digging for gold is not as fast as grabbing the gold directly, so it is obvious what to do.

The struggle for interests was not something Sun Zhonghan could control, so Zhao Mancang could not blame the other party.

Zhao Mancang helped treat the seriously injured and tried his best to keep them alive.

While treating the patients, Zhao Mancang was thinking about whether he should send more experienced doctors here, especially surgeons.

The situation in southern Africa is really chaotic. It's not just the war, but also the rampant gambling and prostitution. All members of the Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company who come here to work will be strictly managed.

It is a military-style management. No one is allowed to have extra money on hand, and is prohibited from going out alone.

We must prevent them from spending money locally in southern Africa. Firstly, we fear that they will satisfy their physiological needs there and contract some diseases. Secondly, we fear that they will fall into honey traps or engage in gambling.

In short, such things should be stopped at the root as much as possible.

But even so, injuries are still a common occurrence.

I have to say, this is a tragedy.

After treating the wounded, Zhao Mancang walked out of the temporary ward and the first team of the Jiaolong Army had arrived.

Zou Xinmin, Shen Gengnian, Sun Weimin, Qin Dahai and others all looked at Zhao Mancang. Everyone knew that such a big thing had happened, and it would be impossible for Zhao Mancang not to retaliate.

The Jiaolong Army never takes the initiative to cause trouble. Generally speaking, they only undertake protection tasks or rescue people.

But every time something happened, Zhao Mancang would fight back fiercely.

"Be prepared, this time we must make them pay with blood!"

Zhao Mancang said this with an expressionless face, and then began to plan the mission objectives.

This mission seems simple, but it is actually not complicated at all.

The three major organizations that started this war were the Fox Mercenary Group, the Drug Lords and the Vultures. In fact, it was a dirty deal made by the two major shareholders, Great Britain and Sam.

Both shareholders were greedy because they each held at least 20% of the shares, accounting for more than 40% of the shares of Rand Central Gold Mine.

In other words, they can each get about 200 tons of gold every year.

Even so, they were still not satisfied and wanted to start a war, causing the deaths of many innocent civilians.

To be honest, as long as no one provokes him, Zhao Mancang never cares about these things.

But the current situation is that the three organizations, Fox, Drug Lord and Vulture, actually killed twelve employees of Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company. Zhao Mancang could not tolerate this at all.

Dry!
They must be killed!

In addition to killing these people, Zhao Mancang has also thought of robbing all the gold from the two major shareholders, Sam and Great Britain.

At the same time, we still have to kill them!
However, this requires dividing the troops into two groups, and Zhao Mancang cannot give the other party such an excuse so blatantly.

"Fox, Narcotics, and Vulture don't have many personnel left, but they are the elite of the elite, so you must be extremely vigilant when carrying out your mission and don't underestimate them."

Zhao Mancang looked at Zou Xinmin and his group, and after assigning the tasks, he left the office.

He did not join Zou Xinmin and others in this operation because he had other things to do.

In the eastern suburbs of Pretoria, after Zhao Mancang arrived here, he quickly contacted Lake Butler and his team who had just arrived here through the walkie-talkie.

The Black Cross Force is an underground team in the dark world formed by Zhao Mancang's other pseudonym 'Li Qiang'. Although it was established not long ago, it has already been run in very well.

Recently, they happened to be carrying out a mission in southern Africa, so Zhao Mancang directly notified them to come to Pretoria.

"Boss, is there any mission this time?"

After seeing Zhao Mancang for the first time, verifying his identity, and completing the procedures, Lake Butler immediately asked excitedly.

Xiong Licheng, Pang Zimo, Felix Nash and others also looked at Zhao Mancang with anticipation. Although they were soldiers who joined the Black Cross Force later, they had all heard of Zhao Mancang's strength.

The latter is not only everyone's boss and possesses endless wealth, no one knows how much money he has exactly, but he also possesses super strength and technology.

"This time, our mission is to target two shareholders. We must disguise ourselves and avoid being discovered. We must also be prepared with firearms and ammunition."

Zhao Mancang glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"For the next two days, you will conduct reconnaissance missions. Once we have secured the target, we will take action at the right time. Do not reveal your identity during the mission."

"The reward for this mission will be over 10 million US dollars. Whether you can get it all, or how much more you can get, depends entirely on you."

"The most crucial point is that if someone gets injured or dies, the mission completion rate will be reduced, which will affect how much money you can ultimately earn. Is that clear?"

Lake Butler and others suddenly became serious and responded in unison: Clearly understood!
They would not refute Zhao Mancang because this matter was all for their own consideration. After all, Zhao Mancang valued this group of people very much.

Every soldier in the Black Cross Force was recruited by Zhao Mancang at a cost of HK$50,000 per month. Everyone has the same basic salary, and they will receive rewards for each mission they perform.

Therefore, if any one of them is lost, it will be a huge loss for Zhao Mancang.

Everyone understood this very well and naturally didn't say anything.

Everyone will even be very grateful. After all, although the mission is full of dangers and unknowns, Zhao Mancang ensures their safety by providing various guarantees.

Even if they are unfortunately injured or sacrificed during the mission, there is no need to worry about their aftermath.

Two days later, the location of Sam's shareholder Angelina Lehman had been determined and the operation could begin.

Angelina Lehmann is one of the major shareholders of Rand Central Gold Mine, holding approximately 21% of the shares. She is a super dominant figure in southern Africa.

This kind of person has more than a hundred bodyguards around him, and there are more than four handsome, tall and powerful male bodyguards who provide 24-hour personal protection. These people are completely personal protection and will never disappear from Angelina Lehmann's sight.

In fact, although she is called a personal bodyguard, only she herself knows what her actual identity is.

As a wealthy woman, especially in this day and age, it is not easy for Angelina Lehmann to rise to the top.

Zhao Mancang did not find any more information, but it was confirmed that Angelina Lehman hired the Fox Mercenaries and arranged for them to steal nearly two hundred tons of gold.

In that case, don’t blame Zhao Mancang for being so ruthless.

"Boss, are we really going to attack? Angelina Lehmann is no ordinary person. According to our investigation, she is extremely afraid of death. She has over a hundred bodyguards inside and outside the villa, and she is usually protected by at least twenty bodyguards when she goes out."

Hearing Felix Nash's words, Zhao Mancang shook his head and said:
"We must carry out our mission. Killing Angelina Lehmann is essential, but that's not the most important thing. The gold she's hiding in the villa is our real target."

Angelina Lehmann is a greedy person who loves gold. No one knows how much gold she has hidden in her villa.

The outside world did not know about this, but Zhao Mancang was certainly very clear about it, because after two days, he had already understood the matter clearly through the insect drone.

Outside the villa, Xiong Licheng, Lake Butler, Pang Zimo and others are already in place, and the action is about to begin.

Zhao Mancang was on the periphery, controlling the insect drone to perform reconnaissance missions in the air.

It’s called reconnaissance, but it’s actually surveillance!

Zhao Mancang had only worked with the Black Cross once since their formation. He had some understanding of their strength, but not their character. Although, judging from previous missions, Lake Barrett and his men were pretty good, at least they didn't hate each other, but rather cared for each other.

But people's hearts are hidden, and Zhao Mancang certainly wanted to take advantage of this mission to observe these people more.

After quickly and efficiently getting rid of the secret guards outside the villa, Zhao Mancang saw through the drone that Lake Butler and others quickly flashed into the villa.

After entering the villa, the next thing will be much easier.

Perhaps for Angelina Lehmann, the villa is impregnable and cannot be broken into.

Even if someone is blind and insists on provoking me, he will soon be killed without a burial place.

However, she obviously underestimated the Black Cross Force.

The reason why Zhao Mancang wanted to set up this army was to build it with reference to the Jiaolong Army. There were two purposes. One was to let the Black Cross Army come into contact with the underground dark world, so that if there was any disturbance, he would be able to know it at the first time and would not be blind.

Second, when the Jiaolong Army encounters any trouble, they can provide some support.

After all, Zhao Mancang doesn't want to be a firefighter himself. Every time something happens, he has to go to the destination to rescue people by himself.

Therefore, in addition to the first-class strength of the team members themselves, the weapons and equipment of the Black Cross itself are also top-notch. So when facing Angelina Lehman's bodyguards in the villa, Lake Butler and his team completed the attack mission very quickly, just like cutting watermelons.

Enemy attack!

When the gunshots rang out, Xiong Licheng and his men had already entered the villa. Although the guns were equipped with silencers and did not make much noise, they still leaked the news.

There's nothing I can do now, let's get started.

Ten minutes later, Angelina Lehmann tried to escape but was shot in the head.

Even though she was a woman, still charming, Lake Butler didn't take her seriously. So what if she was a woman? As long as she didn't affect his bonus, that was all.

Angelina Lehmann was killed, and the remaining bodyguards also fled or died.

In the basement, Xiong Licheng and his friends discovered a huge vault. They were not unfamiliar with such vaults.

Because a secret vault requires so many layers of protection, there must be a lot of good things hidden in it.

However, Angelina Lehmann has been killed, and without the password, how can we open this gold mine?
Zhao Mancang appeared. He asked Xiong Licheng and the others to go out first, and then he closed the vault door through the system space.

The so-called vault door disappeared out of thin air.

Inside the vault, there is a large amount of gold, jewelry, US dollars, British pounds and other currencies, which is dazzling.

With so much treasure, I'm afraid it's no less than two hundred tons of gold. Zhao Mancang is quite familiar with gold.

They took away most of it first, and for the remaining small half, Zhao Mancang asked Lake Butler and others to help transport it.

To be honest, Zhao Mancang felt somewhat regretful. Using money to test cadres was not a good idea.

If I had known earlier, I should have let the Jiaolong Army carry out this mission. After all, in terms of trustworthiness, the Jiaolong Army is more trustworthy.

However, what surprised Zhao Mancang was that people like Xiong Licheng did not show any greed.

Although their eyes widened after seeing so much gold and treasure, no one dared to act rashly.

Nearly 100 tons of gold, as well as a large amount of jewelry, money, etc., were transported by four vehicles.

In order to win the battle quickly, we must leave as soon as possible to avoid being blocked in the villa.

A few hours later, it was already bright outside, and Zhao Mancang and his companions returned to their temporary base. He gathered everyone together and said to them with a smile:
"This mission was completed very well. No one was injured. This is a great thing. It also means that everyone can get 100% of the bonus."

"I hope that every mission in the future will be like this one, and everyone will return safely."

"This time, I plan to give everyone a $20 million reward. Even though there are only fifty of you, that means each of you will receive $500,000."

hiss!
Lake Butler and others took a deep breath and then cheered with joy.

Their basic salary is 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is less than 10,000 US dollars.

But for this mission, they directly received a reward of 400,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than three years' annual salary. Damn, that's so cool.

No wonder Zhao Mancang said that 50,000 Hong Kong dollars was just the basic salary, and the bonus was the real reward they should get.

Xiong Licheng and the others might not be very clear about it, but Lake Butler definitely still remembers it clearly. When he first went on a mission after joining the New World Security Company, he was given 200,000 US dollars.

My goodness, last year he thought this was a huge sum of money.

But now, Zhao Mancang gave him a one-time reward of 400,000 US dollars. From then on, he became a wealthy man with a deposit of over 500,000 US dollars.

"You all have families, and some even have children. You can decide how to spend the reward money. I won't pay attention to it, but I still want to advise you that a harmonious family brings prosperity."

What Zhao Mancang said almost meant that he would turn a blind eye to their affair outside.

"Also, if any of you are infected with a disease, or gamble alone, you will be expelled from the Black Cross Force immediately without further discussion."

"So you'd better control yourselves, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

With a word of warning, Lake Butler and the others nodded sternly.

Because Zhao Mancang told them to supervise each other. If anyone gets a sexually transmitted disease or has other bad habits, haha, and Zhao Mancang finds out, he will be asked to leave the team.

It was a satisfying mission that took less than three days, and I got a reward of $400,000. Who would be willing to leave?
Fifty people are carrying out the mission, and the big boss Zhao Mancang is helping to provide reconnaissance assistance. This is really black technology.

In any case, Lake Butler and the others didn't know about the existence of insect drones, and had no idea how Zhao Mancang provided them with execution assistance.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as they can complete the mission, they will win.

Therefore, everyone respects Zhao Mancang's words and implements them seriously without any compromise.

After Zhao Mancang left, Felix Nash couldn't help but pull Lake Butler aside and asked in a low voice:

"You said Boss, isn't he afraid that we'll kill him and keep all the gold for ourselves?"

"You want to keep all that gold for yourself? Are you crazy? Don't you look at Xiong Licheng and the others? They just eat for free? Everyone wants this gold, but do you think you can do it?"

When Lake Butler heard this, he immediately glared at me, looking at me like a fool, and said:
"So much gold, plus all the other money and jewelry, weighs over a hundred tons, but it's all left at that temporary base. Do you think no one came to pick him up?"

"When you say that, can you please think for a moment? The boss has advanced technology in his hands, and that kind of advanced technology is simply not something we can defend against. Do you think you can win?"

Felix Nash heard this and frowned and asked:

"Then why would he, a big boss, join us on this mission?"

Hearing this, Lake Butler rolled his eyes and said, "Who knows? Why don't you ask the boss yourself?"

Super-rich people all like to seek excitement. Who knows if Zhao Mancang wants to seek excitement?

Moreover, Zhao Mancang seems to be a very conceited person, so such a person is probably looking for some excitement.

Or maybe Zhao Mancang made his fortune this way before, so he couldn't change his living habits amidst the gunfire and rain of bullets, so he wanted to take risks.

Felix Nash did not get the answer he wanted, but he was still a little unwilling. After all, the nearly 100 tons of gold were worth more than 100 million US dollars, not to mention the jewelry and money. It was definitely more than 150 million US dollars.

With so much money, Zhao Mancang only took out 20 million US dollars to share. This is too much.

However, when Felix Nash appeared at the temporary residence, the gold and other valuables in the residence had already disappeared.

It took less than three minutes, and there were no cars involved, but so much treasure disappeared.

It’s a bit scary!

Felix Nash, sweating profusely, had obviously imagined many scenes in his mind, so he put away all his reluctance and greed.

He was able to get $400,000, which was already a lot, and he couldn't be greedy anymore.

Wanting to become rich overnight and then live a shameless retirement life is really wishful thinking.

On the other side, Zhao Mancang had arrived in the western suburbs of Pretoria. After waiting for a day and a half, he finally saw the Jiaolong Army that had completed its mission.

After he met up with Zou Xinmin and others, he let them rest for two days before carrying out the mission again.

This time they went together to kill the shareholder of Great Britain.

What puzzled Zhao Mancang was that the amount of gold treasures hidden in the villa by this Great British shareholder was not much, not even half of Angelina Lehman's.

No matter what, for Zhao Mancang, all that mattered was to kill the person.

The treasure must be taken away and confiscated.

After dealing with these matters, Zhao Mancang returned to the capital.

As soon as he arrived in Beijing, Zhong Xiaodong and others came to Guozi Lane to find him again, asking for help.
