1151. Cooperation (5/5)
Li Du didn't know what to say. Listening to Remo Ning's envious tone and looking at his covetous look, he remembered that his helicopter was the Mi-8 helicopter.
Although he is not a military fan, he also knows that t-54 and bmp-1 are all very old chariots, and they are things that have long been eliminated by modern warfare.
Remoin's appearance made Li Du finally understand the meaning of a word, "Homesick!"
He couldn't help but say, "Commander, can you purchase arms by yourself through the Ministry of Defense? The weapons you just mentioned are, alas, once a war breaks out, it will be of little use."
Remoin laughed and said, "How is that possible? I know that you Americans and Chinese don't look down on such weapons, but here we are already able to run rampant."
Li Du was right to think about it. His ideas were unrealistic. Remoin did not want to declare war on Europe and the United States. It was useless for him to have advanced weapons.
Even if he was given an advanced chariot, he couldn't use it. Who among his men could use these things?
So then, he stopped being picky, but began to flatter Remoin.
Like many African warlords, Remoning likes to listen to good things. Li Du and Sophie are eloquent and praise him so much that he is full of compliment.
When he learned that Li Du had acquired a mine in the Amunda area of South Africa, Remoin patted him on the shoulder and promised: "If there is any chaos in your place, call me and I will arrange for you to support me!"
Although Li Du knew that this was just a polite word, she still felt much more at ease.
The situation in South Africa is the most stable country in Africa, but there are still many security issues.
If Li Du wants to open a diamond mine in South Africa, he must have strong armed forces to protect the mine, otherwise refugees, black police, and messy military and politicians will be eyeing his mine.
This is why he discovered that the diamond mine had not been mined for a long time.
In South Africa, he is a child walking on the street with bricks in his arms. He has huge wealth but no corresponding power to protect these wealth.
Li Du decided to invest in Remoin for this reason, and this was also analyzed by Cole for him. He did not expect this aspect at the beginning.
Cole told him that once the diamond mine is produced, it will attract many people to covet it, and he must have strong force in South Africa to protect these wealth.
But recruiting security guards in the local area is not reliable, and relying on mercenaries is not good. Mercenaries have strong combat effectiveness, but their discipline is a problem. What if there are many diamonds produced at one time, and mercenaries come to custody and steal it?
Therefore, Remoin's armed forces are the first choice.
He suggested that Li Du ask Lei Mo Ning for people, who must have at least four or five hundred loyal soldiers under his command, and he must expand his troops after establishing the military region.
Li Du could bring a group of soldiers from him, retire them in name, and take them to the mine in the name of international labor exports, so that they can come to guard the mine.
These soldiers belong to Remonin's private armed forces. They have nothing to do with the locals in South Africa and will not join forces with the locals to steal diamonds or cause trouble.
They are not like mercenaries, with courage, ability and insight, and can steal diamonds and find ways to sell them. They do not have that kind of channel or courage.
Remoining's personal prestige is a constraint, which can ensure that the soldiers work for Li Du honestly.
This is an armed force that Li Du can't buy no matter how much money it costs. It has both combat effectiveness, discipline and loyalty.
There is a club in Remoin's barracks for officers to come here for entertainment in their spare time, but it is empty and now there are only a few pool tables and other things.
After seeing this, Li Du promised: "Commander, you can do customs and I will decorate the military camp for you. This club is too simple. How can this be done? Cinemas, massage rooms, restaurants, video games rooms, and game consoles, of course you must have them!"
Remoin was overjoyed: "A word is certain?"
Li Du patted his chest and said, "Of course, how can I lie to my brothers and allies? Our friendship has been considered after war!"
Remoin nodded vigorously: "Yes, long live friendship!"
The orderly soldiers brought fruits and drinks. The two sides sat on the adjacent sofa and began to talk about the matter as if they were in talks with the national leaders.
Just business is money.
Lei Mo Ning cried poorly: "Six million, Brother Li, six million dollars! I spent nearly five million to buy this military region. The remaining money was used for construction. It has been gone until now, and a penny has been lost!"
Li Du sighed: " Raising soldiers is such a money-burning job."
One of them cried and the other sighed, gradually testing each other's bottom line.
Lei Mo Ning wanted Li Du to give him one or two hundred million to develop, build the entire military region and pull up the team.
Li Du denied it and said, "Take out the diamond first, the newly found diamonds during this period."
Remoin returned to the office in person and took out a small box carefully. There were not many diamonds inside, only one-quarter of the last time.
Among these diamonds is a big diamond the size of a thumb. This diamond is valuable. Li Du estimated that it would be fine if it sold for hundreds of thousands or millions. Other small diamonds do not have such value.
He said helplessly: "It's too little. I can sell it at most for two million. Even if I don't make money, it will be of no use to you."
Remoin smashed the mouth and said, "Li, I have accelerated the construction, but diamonds are rare, and it is difficult to excavate them. But it is okay to give me two million first, to respond to emergency response."
Li Du put away the diamond and said, "If you are short of money, I can find you a way to make a fortune."
Remoin's eyes lit up. He didn't show any eagerness. He took a sip of coffee casually and asked, "What's the way? I don't do illegal business, and I don't do smuggling. I'm the national guardian now!"
The country guard, Li Du cursed in his heart.
He also took a sip of coffee, cleared his throat and said, "You know I am a shareholder of the Heyre Winston Group. Our group bought a mine in South Africa, but now there is a lack of reliable security."
"We need forty to fifty soldiers to protect the safety of the mines, control food, accommodation and everything. Each person can get a salary of two thousand dollars a month."
Remonin's eyes brightened: "Two thousand dollars per person per month? So if you hire fifty soldiers, they can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a month?"
Li Du nodded: "Yes."
Remoin thought about it and said, "Li, you have a rest first, my staff and I will consider this matter. Your business is mine, I will solve your troubles. Leave it to me for your security guard!"
Li Du knew that he was moved and smiled and said, "Of course, that's so thankful. I'll wait for the good news."
