Of course, the Huang Family could also understand the meaning of the Li Family at the moment. In this case, no one was willing to get involved. The gold mine in Africa was a treasure and a bottomless pit.
Huang Rongtian had some regrets. He listened to the boast of his friend, saying that the adventurers made an astronomical figure in Africa overnight that was unimaginable in a lifetime.
However, this was indeed not a lie. Many people did become super-rich overnight, but many people became poor overnight.
Everything was relative. If there was profit, there would be loss. It was no wonder that Huang Rongtian and his father, Huang Xiaofei, would be so hot-headed. In the face of huge profits, few people would be absolutely calm!
Marx had long said that once there was a suitable profit, the capitalist would be bold. With fifty percent profit, it would take risks; for one hundred percent profit, it would dare to trample all the laws of the world; with three hundred percent profit, it would dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.
This was not wrong at all, not to mention that there was more than three hundred percent profit in the gold mine in Africa. Therefore, Huang Rongtian would participate at all costs.
However, in such a small country, not everyone could play well. Obviously, Huang Rongtian did not understand the rules of the game, so it was unwise to jump in.
He had also investigated beforehand. Although the regime of Country X changed quickly, the interim government collapsed, and the new one came in. But for the domestic capitalists, as long as they paid taxes according to the regulations, they would not do anything to them. He had never heard of anyone breaking the contract! And Huang Rongtian was the first one!
Why was he the first one? He ignored an important point. That was, the Huang Family did not have a strong private armed force in Country X. The newly appointed Kars regime was not afraid of what tricks the Huang Family would play. As for the local mine owners, General Kars did not dare to offend them.
He had just taken over power, and he had not yet rested well. What's more, these people were united, and they were not a small armed force. If they really fought to the death, then Karsi would not be able to gain any advantage. Maybe other hostile forces would take advantage of the situation and drive him out of power.
Therefore, General Kars would not do such a stupid thing. But the Huang Family was different, so he would start with the Huang Family.
When Huang Rongtian realized this, he realized that it was too late. Africa was an adventurous country, and it was not a place where businessmen like them could play.
As a business family, the Huang Family still had many loyal business partners. It was not impossible for them to raise 5 billion USD. The key problem was, if they really raised the 5 billion USD, what if the Karsi regime collapsed and the new regime took over? Would they do the same thing again?
This was not a question of whether or not it was possible, but it was very possible! From this matter, Huang Rongtian was also clear about his own weight. If he wanted to gain a foothold in Country X, it was impossible without his own powerful private armed forces.
However, he was just a businessman. It was possible for him to gather some underworld members, but it was simply nonsense for him to gather an armed force.
Was he going to give up the six billion US dollars that he had just thrown in? Not to mention that Huang Rongtian was unwilling, even Huang Xiaofei would not agree. However, Huang Rongtian did not dare to continue investing.
This was a major matter that concerned the future of the Huang Family. If this matter was not handled properly, then the Huang Family would go bankrupt. Huang Rongtian and Huang Xiaofei discussed for a long time and finally came up with a countermeasure!
That was to drag others into the water, find a partner, and let him invest more. Although their own shares would be diluted, and the money they earned would be less than before, in the case that they did not have to invest a penny, they could once again get the property rights of part of the gold mine. It was the best result!
With this decision, the Huang Family's father and son set their sights on Li Zhicheng! The reason why they chose Li Zhicheng was that he also had a mine in Africa. It was an iron mine. Although it was not big, there was also a small-scale security force in the local area! The most important point was that Li Zhicheng and General Kars had cooperated. The location of his iron mine was where General Kars' original base was located. He had provided military funds to General Kars! In this way, with his participation, things should become smoother.
Li Zhicheng had two sons. The eldest son, Li Tianjia, was about the same age as Huang Rongtian. He was twenty-six years old and unmarried. The youngest son, Li Tianyu, was only in middle school this year, so he did not consider it.
In order to let Li Zhicheng really participate in it, Huang Rongtian and Huang Xiaofei discussed and proposed the means of marriage. Although Huang Lele was a few years younger than Li Tianjia, it did not matter.
Huang Lele was spoiled since she was a child. She liked to follow her own temperament in everything, but this time was different. It was related to the future life and death of the Huang Family, so Huang Xiaofei had to sacrifice his daughter's interests in exchange for the greater interests of the family. Although it sounded ridiculous, the facts were the facts.
If you wanted to get something, you had to lose something. When Huang Lele returned home, she knew what happened. When she heard that her father wanted to marry her to the Li Family, she immediately quarreled with her father. Then, she was put under house arrest by her father and was not allowed to go out.
Although Huang Lele had the forty billion patacas given to her by Yang Ming, which was equivalent to six billion US dollars, Huang Lele also knew that the family's matters could not be solved with money.
What her father needed was the Li Family's relationship, not just money. If there was no strong relationship in Country X, no matter how much money was invested, it might be bankrupt in an instant.
Therefore, Huang Lele hesitated again and again and did not take out the money. Although Huang Lele was relatively simple, she was not stupid. She knew that even if she took out the money, it would not change her father's mind. It was better to keep it in her hand as her final trump card.
After Huang Rongjin returned home and learned that his sister was under house arrest, he was furious. He found his father and quarreled, but when his father explained the situation in Africa, Huang Rongjin was silent.
He knew that this matter was important. His words would not change his father's mind, so he hesitated and called Yang Ming. In Huang Rongjin's eyes, Yang Ming was a mysterious and resourceful person. Although it was not clear whether Yang Ming could reverse the situation in Africa, Huang Rongjin still called Yang Ming.
After all, Yang Ming was his sister's boyfriend. If something happened to Lele, it was natural to inform Yang Ming. Moreover, Huang Rongjin had an intuition that Yang Ming would definitely have a way!
For the boyfriend in Huang Lele's mouth, Huang Xiaofei did not care. In his opinion, if he did not ask Huang Lele to return to Macau, she would naturally cut off contact with her so-called boyfriend, let alone the mainlanders.
After Huang Rongjin called Yang Ming, he was not idle. Instead, he began to collect information on General Kars in Country X. He hoped that these things could help Yang Ming.
The Huang Family had been dealing with General Kars during this time, so they also collected detailed information on him. Huang Rongjin secretly copied these materials.
Africa? Gold mine? Yang Ming shook his head. This Huang Lele's elder brother really dared to be whimsical. Is that a place for him to go? Thinking that he still had a diamond mine in Africa that had not been mined, Yang Ming smiled bitterly. I don't have time to manage the diamond mine. This Huang Family is still so enthusiastic. If it really doesn't work, I'll just let them mine diamonds instead. It will be a joint venture.
For the diamond mine, Yang Ming was not afraid that anyone would dare to renege on his debt. In the small country where the diamond mine was located, no matter how the temporary regime changed, some high-level people knew the identity of the owner of the diamond mine. Who dared to renege? Wasn't that looking for death?
Yang Ming did not know which country his diamond mine belonged to. Yang Ming planned to ask Fang Tian another day.
"Jiajia, how do you feel these days? Are there any sequelae?" Yang Ming decided to put Huang Lele's matter aside first. After all, it was not urgent. Even if he was anxious, it was useless. Zhou Jiajia's injury was in her head, so Yang Ming was so cautious. He was afraid that Zhou Jiajia would have intermittent headaches.
"It's okay. The injured place doesn't hurt at all …" Zhou Jiajia shook her head.
"Then, do you remember what happened before?" This was what Yang Ming was concerned about. Zhou Jiajia couldn't always lose her memory like this, right? His relationship with her was a little awkward.
At first, he agreed with Chen Mengyan's opinion and brought Zhou Jiajia home, but later, Yang Ming found that Zhou Jiajia was very shy. It was almost impossible to push her down without any development.
Although Yang Ming believed that if he insisted on doing so, Zhou Jiajia would not object, this was not the result that Yang Ming wanted. For Zhou Jiajia, this girl, even if Yang Ming didn't love her deeply, he had certain feelings for her. It was just that the two people were limited to the extent of liking each other, but they lacked the process of love. It was too reckless to push her down directly. It was also disrespectful to Zhou Jiajia.
Therefore, Yang Ming wanted Zhou Jiajia to recover her memory as soon as possible so that he could give her a perfect relationship. The two people were classmates. When they sat together in class, there was no need to worry that their feelings would not quickly warm up.
"Before …" Zhou Jiajia also wanted to talk to Yang Ming about her amnesia. When she saw that Yang Ming mentioned it first, she hesitated. She didn't know how to open her mouth.
She couldn't say that she was pretending to have amnesia, right?
