"Then you can ask the state government for help." Henry smiled contemptuously and said casually, "Connor, help me send them off."
Connor made a gesture to send them off. Guo Chu and Bai Tongxi held back their anger and left the chief's mansion.
"Bastard, this Chief Henry is a vermin! He only wants to plunder, and the tribe is so poor. We are doing construction and development here, and he is blackmailing us! " After getting in the car, Bai Tongxi scolded in a low voice.
Guo Chu was also holding back his anger. He had never been blackmailed in such a blatant way in his country or other developed countries. When doing business in a country with a complete legal system, they were using the rules. They still had legal channels to protect their rights.
But here, this chief could threaten them without reason. Even if they wanted to file a lawsuit, the local laws and local courts would favor the other party. They could only lose the lawsuit. They might even lose all their money in the name of destroying the ecological environment and abusing labor!
Their car was leaving the town. Outside the town, they saw a few construction vehicles in motion. They were excavators and forklifts. And on the car, there was the logo of a certain Chinese heavy industry company.
"That's our car! They really stole it! "Bai Tongxi was extremely angry." How despicable! "
"Director Bai, do you want us to go back and ask for it from Chief Henry?" A subordinate asked angrily.
"What else do you want? They have already stolen it. Do you expect him to return it to you? "Guo Chu was experienced. Although he was angry, he could still maintain his rationality.
"Don't forget, in other people's territory, even if we hurt someone, it is a small matter. For this matter, we need to contact the embassy for help. Also, we have to think of a way ourselves. "
"What can we do? The embassy can't do anything to them! "
Guo Chu frowned and said, "The machines we ordered from Pengyun Machinery will be shipped to Zinilla next month. When the new machines arrive, we will try to start construction."
In Chief Henry's mansion, Henry was smoking a big cigar and lying comfortably on the sofa. Beside him, a young and beautiful white girl was gently massaging his shoulders.
"Chief, I think those two Huaxia people don't seem to be willing to pay." Connor said, "The gifts they brought this time are not sincere. They actually want us to protect them."
"Hmph! If you want to work in my territory, you have to listen to me. If I tell them to start, they will start. If I don't allow it, it's useless even if they go to the state government! "Henry snorted.
In this place, he was practically the "local tyrant". If he didn't nod, no one would be able to accomplish anything.
"They are both Huaxia enterprises, but they are not as sensible as Guangtu Mining. Their money has been transferred to your Swiss bank account." Guangtu Mining was the iron mine that Zhongnan Construction Group had built to facilitate the railway.
Guangtu Mining Group was a large multinational mining group in Huaxia. They had arrived in Japan a few years earlier than Zhongnan Construction Group. They knew the rules here better and had arranged everything early.
"Keep an eye on them. Don't let them start work before they pay the management fee," Henry instructed.
"I'll arrange it." Connor lowered his head and agreed.
Henry narrowed his eyes and continued to enjoy the feeling of being in power. This was also the reason why he did not stay in Europe but returned to West Africa after he had amassed a huge amount of wealth.
In developed countries, laws were everywhere, but here, laws were not everything. His life was more comfortable.
…
More than a month later, the construction machinery finally arrived at the black land of Africa.
"This is the product of Pengyun Machinery! It's so mighty, much more shocking than the virtual projection! " This was the first time Bai Tongxi saw the real thing. The intelligent high-horsepower construction vehicle, the powerful arm, and other mechanical tools made him deeply shocked!
He personally got on the vehicle to test the various functions. When he found out that the construction machinery could be controlled intelligently, he was overjoyed.
"This is really a treasure. How much labor can we save with this?" Bai Tongxi said. He was a little worried and said, "It's such a pity if such a good thing is destroyed or snatched away by others!"
Guo Chu said, "I heard from the people of Pengyun Machinery that we have installed a special protection system to protect the safety of the workers and the machinery. We don't have the opportunity to test it in China. Let's see how the situation is here. "
A few days later, the South Central Construction Group restarted the construction of the railway. What they used was the latest large-scale machinery from the Pengyun brand.
During this period of time, they had sought help from the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria and the local government. The local government promised to protect their safety and allow them to defend themselves under certain conditions.
Of course, those people were only talking about it. There was almost no real action. Now that they were working, they still had to rely on their own security team to maintain the safety of the construction.
At the railway construction site, the construction team members were one-third less than before the work stoppage. The one-third could not stand the work and applied to return to China.
With fewer people, the construction speed should have been slower, but because of the arrival of the new machinery, the construction speed was faster than before!
A powerful mechanical function was equivalent to the labor of more than ten workers. Moreover, the workers found that the arm was very flexible and could be used in a wide range of ways.
"This is so cool! Controlling this arm is like growing an extra large mechanical arm. The construction is as easy as playing!" The operator of the arm said excitedly in the control room. He was worried that he could not play well with the new equipment. Who knew that with the help of the AI program, he could master it in minutes!
"Everyone, do your best. I promise that although it's hard, you will get the salary and benefits that you deserve!" Guo Chu personally encouraged the workers. "Working here for a year is equivalent to working in China for three years!"
They gave high salaries to the workers who were willing to come to Africa. It was a reward for the hard work and risk.
"Mr. Guo, you should go back and rest early. The sun is hot here, and it might be dangerous later! "His subordinate reminded him softly.
"What are you afraid of? We are working legally. Do you think they can point guns at us? " Guo Chu reprimanded. The workers were already more passive. If he showed that he was afraid, it would affect their confidence. At that time, there would be more people applying to return to China.
"Don't worry about it. Our security team will protect our safety. The local government has also promised to send the military police to protect us if we are in danger! "
