Chapter 767 19 billion US dollars? Legge: Time for dinner again, brothers!
Forty minutes later, a Hongqi L5 came to a steady stop in front of Villa No. 6, Bihu Yunxi.
Huang Boxiang got out of the car first, went around to the trunk to take out Chen Yansen's luggage, and placed it at the entrance of the living room.
"Boss, I'll head back now," Old Huang said softly.
"Um."
Chen Yansen responded and pushed open the door, walking straight into the room.
As he passed the door, he casually turned on the room lights and the underfloor heating.
The large room was cold, quiet, and deserted.
Chen Yansen sat down on the sofa, and with a thought, the refrigerator turned on automatically.
Several cans of beer and several boxes of braised snacks flew out and finally landed on the movable coffee table next to them.
He leaned back, a cushion resting under his back, then picked up his phone and opened Douyin (TikTok).
Popular videos are diverse: there's news of Liu Qiangdong and Zhang Zetian's marriage, news of Jay Chou's relationship being exposed, a text message about Apple Pay entering the Chinese market, the launch of Tencent's "All-Out Assault," and news about Orange Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Technology acquiring three ranches in Australia to expand its international milk sources.
Chen Yansen swiped his finger, and news about Legge appeared on the screen: the China Business Association would be working with Abyssinia to build a north-south highway.
Of course, Abyssinia itself had no funds, and the project was entirely supported by interest-free loans provided by China, with two domestic construction groups responsible for the construction.
Behind all of this is the business strategy that Chen Yansen instilled in Legeji: Don't be afraid of not having money, just beg for alms everywhere.
Leggi did as instructed, speaking human language to everyone he met and ghost language to everyone he met.
They "begged" their way from China to Europe and then to North America, calling everyone "Big Brother," bowing and scraping, and asking for help.
During this period, excluding material aid, he received $19 billion in interest-free loans alone.
Most of Abyssinia's upper and middle classes felt that Leggi was a clown who had disgraced the country, but ordinary people had genuinely felt the changes in their lives.
With the increasing number of foreign businesses, anyone who knows a little English or Chinese can find a good job.
Previously, my monthly income was only fifty or sixty dollars, but now it has risen to more than one hundred dollars.
Although prices have risen slightly, the increase is far lower than the wage increase.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, Leggeji was "enduring humiliation and hardship" just to ensure that they had enough to eat and wear, and he can be called the Mahatma of East Africa.
Instead of mocking him, these people saw him as the hope for Abyssinia's rise.
However, there were quite a few people who wanted Leggeji dead.
The reason is simple: Leggeji is indeed "robbing the rich to help the poor," for example, by reducing taxes, streamlining the staff structure of the central government, and increasing the income of farmers and workers.
Even mainstream media in Europe and America have mostly given positive coverage to Leggegi.
However, what is surreal is that just a year ago, Leggi was the leader of the Omoro Armed Front, commonly known as the rebels or the opposition.
But in the blink of an eye, Leggi seemed to have become a completely different person.
In a short time, hundreds and thousands of Europeans and Americans flocked to Abyssinia to join the central government, the legal association, and the inspection offices.
Some people go for the high salaries, some want to experience the feeling of "participating in national construction," and some don't care about money but only about fame and fortune, so they voluntarily go to the local area to be free teaching assistants.
Chinese people also make up a significant proportion of them.
Chen Yansen continued scrolling down, and the videos he saw were still related to Abyssinia.
Many Chinese travel bloggers filmed vlogs in the area to share their experiences.
In the comments section, many netizens referred to Abyssinia as "A-Tie".
The blogger's videos clearly show that Chinese people are very popular in Addis Ababa and Dumka, and many locals have started learning Chinese.
The reason behind this is very practical: there are the largest number of Chinese businessmen in the area, and whether they are working or doing business, they cannot earn more money if they do not understand Chinese.
Just like the branch factories under Senlian Capital, employees who do not understand Chinese earn about 1,000 to 1,500 yuan per month, while those who do understand Chinese have the opportunity to become team leaders or supervisors, and their income can be at least 500 to 1,000 yuan more.
Driven by profit, locals often go to language schools after get off work to study Chinese for two hours.
Chen Yansen saw that one of the bloggers was live streaming, and couldn't help but smile slightly before clicking into the live stream.
“I heard from the tour guide that in Dumka, the Senlian Group’s status is comparable to that of Sansong in Korea. Brother Sen owns a flour mill, slaughterhouse, farm and ranch here.”
The blogger, "Little Traveler in Africa," introduced the event to the camera.
He was accompanied by a bodyguard who also served as a translator. The bodyguard was carrying a worn-out AK47 that didn't look like the original; it looked more like a handmade replica from a small Middle Eastern workshop.
The Legggi government has a gun control policy, but it only bans fully automatic firearms; manual and semi-automatic firearms are not included in the ban.
Because Abyssinia still has a lot of undeveloped areas, and wild animals such as Nile crocodiles, hyenas, and baboons pose a great danger, it is impossible to protect one's farmland, pastures, and family without a gun.
In the live stream, comments from viewers kept scrolling:
"Holy crap! Senlian Group actually owns a flour mill?"
"I bought Abyssinian beef shank at Orange Supermarket. It cost 49.9 yuan for two jin (1 kg). To be honest, the quality was quite good, and it had a meaty aroma."
"Xiao Zhou, is Abyssinia very dangerous? I see you even hired bodyguards."
"Stop right now, blogger! There's a pretty girl at two o'clock!"
"Girl?"
Xiao Zhou craned his neck to read through several comments, then looked in the direction the netizens pointed, and sure enough, he saw a fair-skinned girl standing in front of his stall.
The stall displayed various fruits and a hand-cranked juicer. On the left was a price list, and on the right was a payment QR code for OrangePay.
Xiao Zhou chuckled, instantly understanding what the netizens were thinking.
Who doesn't like looking at beautiful women?
The majority of Abyssinia's population is Black or of mixed Black and White descent. 40% of their genes come from white people in the Near East of Asia, and their skin color is somewhat similar to that of people from Southeast Africa. The proportion of pure white people is very small, less than 1%.
But Abyssinia has a population of 100 million, and 1% is equivalent to 1 million people, which is not a small number.
How much does a glass of mango juice cost?
Xiao Zhou first asked in Chinese, but when he saw that the other person didn't understand, he switched to English.
"18 Bill!"
The girl answered in somewhat broken English.
18 Birr is approximately equal to 0.9 US dollars, which is about five yuan in Chinese dollars. It's not expensive, but it's considered a relatively high price in Abyssinia.
"A drink, please!" Xiao Zhou held up his index finger.
The girl took out two mangoes, skillfully peeled them, removed the pits, juiced them, poured the juice into a glass, added some honey and ice, and handed it to Xiao Zhou.
After paying, Xiao Zhou ignored the comments from netizens urging him to linger and continued walking forward.
When they reached the corner of the intersection, netizens were stunned again.
A Mixue Ice Cream shop and a Lucky Cafe shop are located right next to each other!
"Does Africa also have Mixue Ice Cream and Lucky Coffee?"
"Xiao Zhou, go in and see how much Mixue Ice Cream sells for in Africa!"
"Such a big thing, why didn't anyone say anything?"
Netizens expressed their surprise. Seeing the strong demand from his fans, Xiao Zhou stepped into Mixue Ice Cream.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yansen swiped his finger upwards and switched to another live stream.
This is a live stream from an agricultural and sideline food factory in Huian, selling local salted goose, salted chicken, and salted fish.
The number of viewers in the live stream was not large, only a little over 1,000, but they were all target customers, and they placed orders very enthusiastically. In a short time, sales increased by several hundred orders.
It is clear that the rural e-commerce project jointly launched by Pinduoduo and Douyin is progressing smoothly, with various regions bringing their own specialty agricultural products to e-commerce platforms.
The underlying reasons for all of this are the widespread adoption of 3G and 4G networks, the rapid development of the logistics industry, and the extensive use of smartphones.
After all, only with "roots" can "leaves" grow.
Just then, a rustling sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
Chen Yansen scanned the area with his divine sense and saw that the person who came was Song Yuncheng. He then instructed Moss M13 next to the TV: "Moss, open the door."
“Yes, Master,” Moss replied immediately.
The courtyard gate is an automatic door that supports voice control for opening.
Just as Song Yuncheng was about to take out her key, she saw the door slowly open and instantly realized that Chen Yansen had returned.
As soon as she entered the living room, she asked with a smile, "Master, you're back from your business trip?"
"I'm going to East Africa next week, are you coming?"
Chen Yansen nodded slightly and asked casually.
“Abyssinia?” Song Yuncheng stepped forward and sat down to Chen Yansen’s left.
“That’s right,” Chen Yansen replied.
Regardless of whether his domestic peers acknowledge it or not, he is a "business card of Chinese businessmen," as well as a co-mentor of the Davos Economic Forum and a world young leader.
If he is willing to go to Abyssinia, he will surely bring a large number of investment projects.
He still had some reservations when paying his employees' salaries in the country.
Once in Africa, this constraint disappears, and one can use the excuse of "harsh working conditions overseas" to flexibly adjust salaries with so-called "extra overseas allowances."
at the same time.
The intelligence associations of various countries are still investigating the Wild Tiger Manor incident, and the identities of the three combatants who died in northern Bagan were quickly discovered.
They came from the United States, the Arctic, and France, respectively, and none of them had any special or uniform markings on them.
But a small team of more than forty people traveling in and out of northern Bagan would inevitably leave clues.
At 8:30 p.m. that evening, McClane, the head of the North American security agency headquarters, picked up the latest intelligence report on the table. With each page he turned, his brow furrowed more deeply.
Evidence suggests that the three individuals were frequently active in Africa after 2013, and it is highly likely that they joined the Falcon Security Company.
Chen Yansen?
McClane muttered to himself, his mind filled with doubt.
Three things surprised him: First, Fengjun Security Company had such strong management capabilities;
It should be noted that these special forces veterans, who act without restraint and have eccentric personalities, mostly suffer from serious mental illnesses. The fact that they obediently accept the control of Fengjun Security is itself quite abnormal.
Second, where did Fengjun Security Company get so many advanced individual soldier equipment?
Third, has Chen Yansen gone mad? A businessman, why would he provoke a regional armed group? Who gave him such audacity?
"Could it be that China is unable to intervene directly, so it is acting under the name of the Senlian Group?"
McClane squinted, making wild guesses.
In the following days, keywords such as Chen Yansen, Feng Jun, Senlian, and Bagan frequently appeared on the email network's trending searches.
Many people know in their hearts that there is now another entity in the gray market that should not be easily provoked.
Who would have thought that a well-equipped and fiercely combat-ready squad would travel thousands of miles and spend tens of millions of dollars to deal with the kidnapping of their own employees' families by a telecom fraud company in Bagan?
The Senlian Group has more than 1.5 million employees like Jiang Hao.
This is absolutely outrageous!
For a businessman, this was a losing proposition, but Chen Yansen did it anyway.
Ordinary people are easy to deal with, but no one can fathom the logic of a "madman".
Therefore, all the telecom fraud companies quickly checked their "piglets" and either sold them to companies that didn't know the business or simply let them go.
They were genuinely afraid that one day, while they were sound asleep, someone would shoot them dead.
Financial institutions in Europe and the United States have also had to re-evaluate the Senlian Group.
A technology company that dares to venture into the security business is no longer just a simple enterprise, but is developing towards becoming a multinational giant.
Similar companies have appeared in the history of Europe and America, but most of them were broken up.
At this moment, everyone is watching closely: what exactly is the attitude of the Central Command of China towards Senlian Group?
On the other side.
The intelligence association in Bagan also found out about the relevant information, but instead of making it public immediately, they called Sun Huajun, the head of China's foreign affairs department, and used the pretext of "protest" to probe China's stance on Senlian Capital.
If we choose to protect them, they will pretend they know nothing; if we don't intend to protect them, then they will find a way to retaliate.
We can't let Senlian Group get away with slapping Bagan in the face for nothing!
But they didn't expect that before they could even take action, Orange Interactive Entertainment had already submitted a script review application for "All or Nothing".
This script was created by the Kuaiying Editorial Department. Before writing it, they interviewed more than a dozen "coolies" who had escaped from Bagan. It was written entirely based on the real operation of telecom fraud companies.
However, the script's content was too explicit and its realism was beyond the norm, so it was rejected by the censors not long after it was released.
Upon learning this, Chen Yansen quickly took out his phone, called for backup, and used back channels to complete the entire process in one go.
For some sensitive film topics, whether or not they can be made, and who can make them, depends on whether the foundation is strong enough.
Some people can be photographed, while others cannot be touched at all.
...
...
The following morning, Orange Technology announced that its 10,000th self-operated store had officially opened in the Western Regions.
From June 2012 to December 2014, in just two and a half years, Orange Technology added an average of more than 300 new stores every month, an astonishing rate of expansion.
Yang Rui, the vice president of the offline sales network, received an email from the company. In addition to the regular rewards, Chen Yansen also rewarded him with 50,000 shares of company stock, which were worth as much as 8 million US dollars at the time.
At this time, Yang Rui's former employer, Nica Mobile, had already gone bankrupt for more than a year.
The more than 6,000 factory outlets that were once scattered all over the country are now empty stores, becoming a laughing stock in the industry.
As the saying goes, when the times abandon you, they won't even say goodbye.
The downfall of Nica mobile phones is the most accurate reflection of this statement.
At the same time, after receiving a task from the group, a director from Orange Interactive Entertainment immediately began to prepare the program and schedule for the company's annual meeting, and also sent invitations to many singers and actors.
