I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 634 Let's be friends? A mere 10 tons, as long as the procedures are in order, 20 tons can be handled too!

Jin Xu, Liang Hui, and Shao Yiming followed behind an Omoro armed member, passing through a narrow, dark passage, and returned to the Gobi Desert they had crossed the day before.

Elita?
Jin Xu was slightly taken aback. Several hundred meters away, he saw a familiar face.

The other party was a Hamra, of mixed race, and also the largest distributor of Orange phones in Abyssinia.

Beside her stood a middle-aged Chinese man in his thirties, dressed in khaki overalls. He had dark skin and a scar on his lip that extended to his earlobe, making him look particularly ferocious and terrifying.

“5 tons of beef a year is a piece of cake for Senlian Capital. Last time we bought 3800 tons, and it was all gone in less than a month. In short, our strength in Asia is absolutely beyond your imagination.”

Lu Feng said slowly and deliberately.

Seeing the other person's expression of interest, he continued, "But the procedures must be legal."

Shen En stared intently at Lu Feng, then looked at Elita. After a moment's thought, he nodded heavily and said, "Settlement will be in US dollars or gold."

"Of course," Lu Feng readily agreed.

He didn't expect that, accompanied by Elita, after he handed over 300,000 US dollars to the other party, Shen, the leader of the Omoro armed forces, would bring up the beef deal from several months ago.

It was only at this moment that Lu Feng suddenly realized: the beef that Elita used to pay off her debt actually came from the state of Oromia—that is, provided by the Oromo people.

In fact, the Omoro tribe's power consists of two parts: one part carries AK47s and RPG rocket launchers, essentially wielding firearms; the other part comprises the central command personnel entrenched in the Oromia region, representing the interests of the Omoro people.

One is a scholar, the other a warrior; one is black, the other white.

This is a key reason why the Abyssinian regular army has failed to eradicate the Omorro armed group despite spending decades on the task.

Shen En's military wing belongs to the moderate faction.

If they were to encounter a more extreme armed faction, Jin Xu and his two companions would likely find it difficult to return to Asberba unscathed.

To put it bluntly, the Omorro armed group is also divided into two factions: one faction hopes to negotiate with the central command to obtain economic and political benefits; the other faction only wants to eliminate all the Hamra people and then restore the former glory of the Omorro people.

"Senlian Capital is the largest multinational group in China, and its boss is the new richest man in the world."

Elita stood to the side, adding with a smile.

Through her introduction, Shen En gained a clearer understanding of the overall strength of Senlian Capital.

"10 tons, can you handle that?" Shen asked.

"As long as the procedures are in order, I can get 20 tons for you," Lu Feng said confidently.

Putting aside other things, the employee canteen and Kuai Pao canteen of Senlian Capital alone consume 70 tons of beef every day, which amounts to 3 tons a year.

The beef brisket, beef shank, and beef ribs at Orange Supermarket are also in short supply.

It's a bestseller even when it's shipped to Southeast Asia.

Shen En thought for a moment, then suddenly handed the money bag back to Lu Feng, saying, "Let's be friends."

It was clear that he didn't intend to accept the $30 ransom.

Abyssinia's economy is based on agriculture and animal husbandry. Even the Omoro people rely on exports to earn foreign exchange, which they then use to purchase guns and weapons.

After all, arms dealers from the Arctic and the United States would not accept cattle, sheep, or camels as payment.

Lu Feng was slightly taken aback, but did not reach out to take it.

He was afraid that the black guy in front of him was emotionally unstable, and what if the other person was just being polite?
What if the other party is unhappy if I actually take it?
"Do you Chinese drink coffee?" Seeing this, Shen En quickly stuffed the money bag into Lu Feng's hand, then pushed the RPG rocket launcher on his shoulder behind him, grinned, and then asked.

At this moment, he no longer resembled a minor leader of an armed organization; instead, he looked no different from a roadside vendor.

Unfortunately, despite Abyssinia being touted as the economic center of East Africa, most people live worse lives than livestock.

Currency devaluation, frequent power outages, and a lack of medical and educational resources—this is the true plight of the locals.

All the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of Hamra people!

The remaining 90% of ordinary people live no different lives from cattle and horses on the plateau, merely being used as "expendable resources" by others.

This is also the core reason for the Omoro people's unrest.

After all, who would go looking for trouble? When they're well-fed and clothed, why would they want to risk being shot to make a living?
Lu Feng touched his nose and couldn't help but chuckle.

He is the regional general manager of Fengjun Security, but not the group's purchasing president.

coffee?

Who would drink that stuff?!

Chinese people only drink tea!

But some things definitely can't be said too bluntly.

Lu Feng pondered for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "I work for a security company, and I have to report business matters to the group first, but since we are friends, I will definitely help you."

Whether to buy or not, and how much to buy, we'll decide later!
"Thank you! From now on, any employee of Senlian Capital in the Omoro-controlled areas will be our most honored guest, as long as they identify themselves."

Shen En said with great gratitude.

A cup of Starbucks coffee costs 38 yuan, while a pound of Abyssinian coffee beans can only be sold for 10 yuan when exported.

Coupled with intense competition in recent years, their coffee bean sales have not been high.

As Jin Xu slowly approached, he immediately noticed that Lu Feng, the regional general manager of Feng Jun, was chatting and laughing with armed members of Omoro.

???

Jin Xu and Liang Hui exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.

"Are you okay?"

Lu Feng looked at Jin Xu and asked.

"I'm fine, just a little hungry." Jin Xu spoke softly, not intentionally, but because he was hungry and felt weak all over. Lu Feng's gaze swept over the three of them, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Apart from Shao Yiming's swollen right cheek and some abrasions, everyone else's hands and feet were intact.

But his expression immediately darkened, and he pointed to the injury on Shao Yiming's face.

You can't back down now!
The tougher the stance, the safer you are.

Shen En turned his head, glanced at Shao Yiming, and then raised his hand to slap one of the armed members across the face twice.

The man's cheeks swelled up at a visible speed.

"Mr. Lu, is it alright now?" Shen En asked, squinting his eyes with a half-smile.

"You went too far," Lu Feng said ambiguously.

Upon hearing this, Shen En immediately kicked the armed member who had been beaten and sternly reprimanded him in Omoro, essentially telling him to remember the lesson and that if he dared to lay a hand on the Senlian again, he would be sent to guard the most remote pass.

The armed man covered his face and nodded repeatedly, not daring to utter a single word of rebuttal, but his heart was full of grievances: I didn't hit him, so why did he hit me!

"What I mean is, we're all friends, there's no need to be so calculating."

Lu Feng slowly added a sentence.

Why didn't your mother say so sooner?

The militant who was beaten cursed inwardly.

Shen En was a smart man. He knew that Lu Feng wanted to save face, so he smiled and personally escorted Lu Feng and his companions to an SUV.

Seeing this, Lu Feng said no more and turned to Jin Xu and the other two, as well as Elita, saying, "Get in the car first, we're going back to Asberba."

Shao Yiming touched his still swollen and painful right cheek. Looking at Shen En's arrogant yet obsequious demeanor, he was both surprised and curious, but dared not ask any questions. He followed Jin Xu and Liang Hui and walked quickly towards the SUV.

As he sat in the back seat, he couldn't help but look back.

Shen Enzheng stood still, waving to Lu Feng, with an RPG rocket launcher slung across his shoulder. He looked like an ordinary businessman seeing off a client, showing no sign of the ferocity of an armed leader.

The car drove away from the Gobi Desert and headed towards Asberba.

Jin Xu let out a long sigh of relief and laughed out loud, but his eyes were wet with tears.

"Mr. Lu, thank you so much! Damn it, I almost thought I was going to die here."

Jin Xu's facial expression was somewhat out of control; it looked like he was laughing, but also like he was crying.

Liang Hui and Shao Yiming fared even worse, collapsing onto their seats as soon as they got on the bus.

What happened that day and night was something I will never forget.

Lu Feng glanced at the three men in the rearview mirror, the scar on his lips twitched slightly, and he said in a calm tone, "It's good that you're alright. The big boss paid for it, so don't thank the wrong person."

To be honest, he was also somewhat moved.

Having spent years working for mercenaries and security companies in Africa, this was the first time he had met a boss as straightforward as Chen Yansen.

With the equipment and strength of the Wind Falcon, if it were a head-on confrontation, they might have a chance to defeat these Omoro armed members. However, the safety of Jin Xu and his two companions would most likely be uncertain.

Other multinational corporations, even if they eventually paid to ransom the person, would not have been as decisive and swift as Chen Yansen.

"In my next life, I want to be reborn as a woman so I can repay Brother Sen properly," Jin Xuyan said sincerely.

"Brother Xu, this is called repaying kindness with enmity," Liang Hui joked with a grin after recovering.

Lu Feng twitched his lips into a faint smile, then took out a few packets of wafer biscuits and bottled water from the passenger compartment and tossed them into the back seat: "Have something to eat first, then we can have something hot when we get to Asberba."

Jin Xu picked up a bag of wafer biscuits, tore open the packaging, and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing until his face was covered in crumbs: "Who cares about repaying the debt? From now on, wherever Brother Sen tells me to go, I'll go without hesitation!"

Shao Yiming also snatched a bag of biscuits, and while munching on them, he mumbled, "Brother Xu, you're quite enlightened. But it's fine if you're reborn as a woman, let's work hard and make more money for the boss."

He touched his still swollen and painful right cheek, thinking to himself, "Will I still be able to eat poached chicken in the suburbs from now on?"

Liang Hui silently unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and took a big gulp.

at the same time.

When Hao Ren heard no gunshots or screams, he immediately realized that Jin Xu and the other two had most likely escaped.

In other words, the other company paid to ransom the person.

"Damn Huatong! Look at other companies, and then look at you. Have some decency. I'm going back and quitting."

Hao Ren muttered angrily in a low voice.

the other side.

Domestic midday news channels devoted 26 seconds to reporting the kidnapping of four copper company employees, the capture of 17 Abyssinian university students, and the arrest of 115 regular soldiers.

Many people either didn't notice or simply remarked hastily, "Africa is really unsafe."

After learning of the news, the staff of the Foreign Affairs Association could not do much except put pressure on the central government of Abyssinia, urging them to handle the matter actively.

But within the Chinese business community in Asberba, everyone knows that three employees of Senlian Capital have also been kidnapped, and they were wondering why it wasn't reported in the news.

Soon after, we heard that Senlian Capital had redeemed the person.

"Holy crap! That's awesome, they pulled them out really fast!"

Many Chinese people secretly sighed.

As the SUVs emblazoned with the peregrine falcon logo drove into the city, the reputation of Wind Falcon Security Company grew in the African business community.
