The following day, Chen Ze led Wang Zhengang to the Mora Port wharf to complete the handover of work.
The morning sun shone on the pier, and the sea breeze carried a salty, damp scent.
Chen Ze walked with a steady gait, followed closely by Wang Zhengang and others, their eyes revealing their anticipation and seriousness for their new jobs.
The two walked into the dock's office area, where the original general manager and managers looked somewhat complicated upon seeing Chen Ze and Wang Zhengang's arrival.
Chen Ze glanced around and, without the slightest hesitation, announced the dismissal of the existing management team.
Then, replace them all with Chinese people.
Having lost their jobs, a dozen or so Black men received their monthly wages and subsidies in disappointment before leaving the dock.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ze went to the cargo loading and unloading area at the dock.
Looking at the old loading and unloading equipment, its surface mottled and worn from the sea breeze, emitting dull operating sounds, it seemed as if it might break down at any moment.
Chen Ze frowned slightly, looking at the equipment, and had already made up his mind.
He turned to Wang Zhengang and said, "Old Wang, contact the best equipment manufacturers in China right away and have them send ten sets of dock loading and unloading equipment over as soon as possible, and then replace this old, outdated equipment."
Chen Ze's eyes revealed an unwavering determination to completely transform the backward state of the dock and create a brand-new distribution center.
“Okay, boss, I’ll have someone arrange it right away.” Wang Zhengang replied without hesitation. He would immediately take action on any issue that his boss cared about.
Old Wang turned around and said seriously to his secretary, "Xiao Li, contact General Manager Gu of the equipment manufacturer immediately and have them ship the goods. Pay them a deposit first, and settle the balance after the equipment arrives and there are no problems."
When Wang Zhengang spoke, his expression was serious, his tone was calm, and every word was clear and powerful, demonstrating the decisiveness and competence that a manager should have.
"Yes, Mr. Wang," Xiao Li replied quickly. Then, he immediately took out his notebook to jot down the key points before leaving to carry out his mission.
Old Wang suggested to Chen Ze, "Boss, we don't have enough Chinese managers right now. I'd like to recruit some from China."
Chen Ze waved his hand.
"Sure, any manager who comes to McKlon will have their salary doubled."
Chen Ze understood that without double pay for being far from home, who would want to cross oceans to work in such a godforsaken place?
Just then, my cell phone rang in my pocket.
Chen Ze took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Zhang Lifeng.
Press the answer button.
Zhang Lifeng's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey Chen Ze, your goods have arrived. Our ship will be arriving at the Mora Port dock soon. Please send someone over to pick them up."
Upon hearing this
Chen Ze turned his head and saw that a large ship was slowly approaching the port.
He said, "Brother Feng, I happen to be at the Mora Port pier right now."
"good."
Ten minutes later, the large ship successfully docked.
Chen Ze boarded the large ship with his bodyguards. The ship was filled with all kinds of goods, as well as twenty Dongfeng heavy armored vehicles. A domestically produced helicopter was also parked in the middle of the ship.
A man wearing sunglasses was standing at the bow of the boat waiting for him. He was not tall, only about 1.75 meters, with a well-proportioned figure and a dark complexion. This man was Zhang Lifeng.
Seeing his military bearing, Chen Ze quickly stepped forward and shook his hand, saying, "Brother Feng, it's a pleasure to meet you in person."
Zhang Lifeng chuckled, “Although this is our first meeting, your wife Wang Siyu and I are old acquaintances. We’ve been childhood friends. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen her much since I joined the army. My biggest regret is that I didn’t have time to go back to China to attend your wedding.”
"Oh, that's a bit of a shame. By the way, Feng, you're in this line of work selling weapons for the country, right?" Chen Ze asked.
Zhang Lifeng nodded. "Yes, I've always been serving the country's military industry. I'm in charge of all the orders in Africa. I'm just a little curious, why are you buying so much weaponry? Do you want to build a country here?"
Chen Ze waved his hand and said helplessly, "Brother Feng, you don't know, it's too chaotic here. Yesterday I was ambushed by a group of Cameroonian Boy Scouts. They were firing AK rifles at us. If it weren't for the bulletproof car, I would have been dead here."
"Is it that dangerous here? It seems you made the right decision to buy these weapons for self-defense, but you must take good care of them and use them properly, so as not to cause any big trouble."
Chen Ze nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Feng, I will definitely use it properly. I have already invested billions of RMB in Mora City, including this dock. I must ensure the safety of myself, my men, and the safety of my business."
"Come on, I'll take you to the cabin to inspect the cargo."
After saying that, Zhang Lifeng turned and walked towards the cabin.
Chen Ze and the others followed closely behind.
A short while later, the group entered the cabin. Zhang Lifeng opened a box containing rifles, a box of bullets, a box of grenades, and the long-range sniper rifle that Chen Ze had ordered.
Chen Ze glanced at Zhao Youde.
Zhao Youde understood and immediately stepped forward to inspect the firearms and ammunition.
After confirming that there were no problems, Chen Ze asked, "Brother Feng, how much is this batch of goods in total?"
Zhang Lifeng took out a calculator and started calculating.
Helicopters cost $15 million, and twenty armored vehicles cost $2 million.
Other miscellaneous items totaled one million eight hundred thousand US dollars.
The total is $18.8 million.
Chen Ze looked at Zhang Lifeng and asked, "Is the money still being transferred to the same account as last time?"
“No, to be more discreet, I’ll give you a new account.” With that, he handed Chen Ze a piece of white paper from his pocket, on which a string of bank card numbers was written.
While Chen Ze was transferring the money, Zhang Lifeng arranged for people to move the guns and ammunition to the helicopter.
Chen Ze took out his laptop and quickly transferred $18.8 million to the bank card number. Soon, the transaction confirmation came back.
Zhang Lifeng patted Chen Ze on the shoulder with a smile, "Boss Chen, you're a straightforward person! If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
Suddenly, a commotion arose on the dock.
Chen Ze and Zhang Lifeng quickly went to the bow of the boat to check, and saw a group of local thugs approaching the dock. There were about twenty or thirty of them, and they were all carrying steel pipes. The leader was a big black man with a fierce look and a face full of scars.
The burly man shouted in broken English, "This dock is now under our control. You all have to listen to me. Everyone stop what you're doing, or we'll use steel pipes on you."
Chen Ze frowned, his anger rising. He glanced at Zhao Youde and his bodyguards beside him, then at the weapons and equipment on the ship, wondering where these thugs had come from.
"Boss, I'll take some men to teach these thugs a lesson," Zhao Youde said.
"Okay, Uncle De, remember to arrest and interrogate that tattooed man who's leading the group, and find out who sent them to cause trouble," Chen Ze instructed.
"Okay, boss."
Zhao Youde personally selected more than a dozen security personnel to disembark and head directly towards the troublemakers.
