Sophie was still confused. She looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise and said, "Khartoum Palace? You're actually one of them? " Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I'm not just one of them. I was also invited to a ball. I wonder if Miss Sophie is willing to be my female companion?"
Sophie was certainly willing. She was a wandering tourist who had been waiting in Sudan to enter the Khartoum Palace. The Khartoum Palace had a history of 200 years. It was undoubtedly a very good attraction for tourists.
But for Jiang Cheng, it was just a broken palace. Basically, he wouldn't be discovered if he went in or out. The security was extremely weak. But of course, Jiang Cheng wouldn't tell Sophie about this. Hearing that she could go to the Khartoum Palace, Sophie smiled and said, "Of course I'm willing. But I don't have an evening gown. "
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I happen to be free. Let's go pick a gown together. There's still a long time before the evening banquet. There's enough time for us to choose. " The two of them put down their unhappiness and went to the commercial district of Khartoum to pick some clothes for the party.
At 8 PM, the Khartoum Palace had already entered the venue. After all the invited guests arrived, they began to listen to Omar's lengthy speech on the stage. The general content revolved around the war, wantonly promoting the power of the government's army. In addition, he also focused on praising the leader of the volunteer army, Man Johnson.
Man Johnson was also a funny guy. When it was Omar's turn to call him on the stage, he was already drunk. He even snorted twice on the stage, causing the audience to laugh. However, it made the venue that was about to fall asleep a little livelier.
Sophie leaned on Jiang Cheng's shoulder and said, "Mr. Jiang Cheng, this leader Man Johnson is really a stupid person. Why is such a stupid person the leader of the volunteer army? And why did he create such a miracle? "Even Sophie, who was in the audience, could see Man Johnson's stupidity.
But Jiang Cheng smiled. In the eyes of others, Man Johnson was stupid, but in Jiang Cheng's eyes, he was smart. Why? Man Johnson looked like he was about to collapse on the stage. He was drunk, but he didn't say a word about enlisting in the government.
Why was that? Man Johnson was drinking to avoid answering Omar's question. Even if he answered yes, the media wouldn't know how to judge in such a drunken state. Only by keeping Omar hanging like this would the volunteer army have a future. Who would be willing to hand over an army that was in charge of everything to others?
Although Jiang Cheng understood, he didn't point it out. Man Johnson and Jiang Cheng were old friends. In this case, if Man Johnson didn't express his stance, then his cooperation with Jiang Cheng would be obvious. If Man Johnson wanted to enlist, he would have agreed long ago. Why would he wait until now? But if it was two years ago, Man Qiangsen would have been willing to accept the offer of enlistment by the Southern Su Army.
But now, the only reason why Man Johnson wasn't moved was because of Jiang Cheng. Why? Because Jiang Cheng provided a lot of military supplies to Man Johnson every month. With this, the volunteer army continued to grow. With such a powerful force, it would be unreasonable not to enlist.
Omar also felt that Man Johnson's growth was too fast, so he would gradually overshadow the light of enlistment by the government. At that time, when war broke out, the volunteer army wouldn't be his own people. It was very likely that they would be new enemies.
There was no reason for Omar to let this army of unstable factors grow crazily. Now was the only chance. Either enlist or isolate the volunteer army. But for the volunteer army, this situation was indeed the best. Only in this situation of three legs could Jiang Cheng exploit a lot of oil.
So, between Jiang Cheng and Man Johnson, an agreement had already been reached. As long as the alliance existed, the situation of three legs would continue to coexist. Unless one of them was strong enough to ignore the power of the other two sides, there would be no result.
After Man Johnson came down, it was Moha III's turn to give a speech. The three of them talked for the better part of the night during the banquet. But it didn't affect Sophie's mood at all. She pulled Jiang Cheng around to take pictures of every corner of the palace.
For a wandering traveler, being able to enter the palace area was undoubtedly a very prestigious thing. Jiang Cheng was also bored, so he accompanied Sophie to walk around the city. While the two of them were resting, four people came in front of them. They were all handsome men and beautiful women.
The man was a white man wearing a white suit. His female companion was a beautiful blonde with blue eyes. She was especially eye-catching. Beside the man was a man in a black suit with a solemn expression. His female companion was a black woman, who was also very beautiful.
The four of them were particularly eye-catching in the crowd. There were very few foreigners in Sudan, so it could be said that there were very few Chinese and Europeans. You could still see some Chinese people occasionally, but Europeans were few and far between. First of all, Africa was very far away. If Europeans wanted to come over, they would have to cross a large piece of land, unlike China, which only needed to travel by sea.
When he saw the four people, Jiang Cheng raised his head. The moment their eyes met, he could clearly feel that the white man was coming for him. "Hello, Mr. Jiang Cheng. My name is Luke, the CEO of the Lu Group. I'm also developing a business in Sudan. I've heard Ambassador Li mention you. "
Luke had a handsome smile on his face. The ladies around him couldn't help but feel their hearts palpitate. Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the man. He stretched out his hand politely and said, "Hello. Mr. Luke, I don't think I know you. "
Luke smiled faintly and said, "As a businessman, you don't need to know people you don't know. Even if we don't know each other now, we will know each other in the future. There's only such a big piece of land in Africa, right? " Right? "Luke narrowed his eyes and a cold arrogance flashed across his face.
Jiang Cheng felt the murderous intent in the man's tone. He immediately raised his stance and said, "That's not necessarily true. It's not like there aren't people who don't interact with each other their entire lives. If I remember correctly, I seem to have seen your Lu Group's cars in Lumote. Are you in the heavy transport business? "
With his super memory, Jiang Cheng immediately remembered seeing the Lu Group's train at Lumote Station. If he guessed correctly, the construction of Sudan's railway should be inseparable from this guy in front of him. Luke smiled faintly and said, "It's just a small business. Compared to you, Mr. Jiang, it pales in comparison. "
Luke deliberately hid the information, but gave Jiang Cheng an obvious hint. This time, Jiang Cheng guessed the other party's identity correctly. He was the number one in the local railway transport business. This wasn't a good person. Jiang Cheng's goods were transported to Luke's railway almost every day. If he offended this guy, it could be a big problem.
Jiang Cheng secretly thought in his heart. But on second thought, he couldn't guard against that much. Often, before Jiang Cheng provoked someone, someone would come to bully him. And Luke's momentum was obviously not a good person. Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped and took a step back.
"Mr. Luke, I think this is about the first time we met. My female companion is a little bored. Please forgive me for not accompanying you. "Jiang Cheng said casually and patted Sophie's shoulder. The two of them turned to leave. But at this time, Luke said in a mild tone.
"Oh? Mr. Jiang Cheng is leaving so soon. Could it be that you're afraid of me? Sigh, I was going to tell you a secret about Utusi town. Who knew you wanted to leave so badly. Alright. Just pretend I never heard it. "Luke turned around and was about to leave.
But at this time, Jiang Cheng had already straightened his body. His expression was as cold as black iron. He clenched his fists and suppressed his anger. The incident in Utusi town? Someone who could say something like this must be one of the people directly involved. No wonder Jiang Cheng felt that Luke wasn't a good person.
He was probably the one who sent people to deal with the Marching Dragon's 15 people. Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng suppressed his anger and turned to force a smile. "Utusi town? Mr. Luke, why don't you tell me what happened? "Luke stopped and turned to glance at Jiang Cheng.
"Mr. Jiang Cheng, are you really interested? I thought I got the wrong person. Since you're interested, I'll tell you. I heard that a huge oil field was discovered in Utusi town. "Luke sneakily leaned to Jiang Cheng and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
When Jiang Cheng heard this, his body immediately stiffened. He frowned and almost tied Luke up. At this time, Luke continued to say proudly, "The oil field is near Zanbi Hills. It has been secretly mined for many months. No one knows how much money it has made. But I heard that the information has been leaked, and soon the army will take over there … "
Hearing Luke's words, Jiang Cheng felt a chill down his spine. The incident in Zanbi Hills had already been discovered. Jiang Cheng wasn't surprised at all. But where did Luke know that the army was about to take over? This made Jiang Cheng very suspicious.
"Mr. Luke, where did you get your information from? I'm curious why you're so sure that the army will take over the Zanbi oil field. "Jiang Cheng didn't hide anything. Jiang Cheng didn't beat around the bush and asked directly. Luke's lips curled into a mysterious smile.
"You want to know? If you want to know, you need to take a closer look at what the representative of the Chamber of Commerce will say. Do you know? In Sudan, there's a Chinese Chamber of Commerce and an European Chamber of Commerce. We don't know each other, but we're competing together. I've already brought back the information from Zanbi oil field and handed it all over to the president of the Chamber of Commerce. In a while, after you speak as the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the president of the European Chamber of Commerce will go up … "
