Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2072 Forced Investment
Looking around, Ji Donglai realized that he couldn't escape, so he could only inform Ran Bo. Everyone started to get nervous, and Ran Bo and his men put their hands on the triggers of their weapons, with all the safeties on.

"The general is sleeping and won't wake up until ten o'clock. Just wait!"

In a place that has been in war for a long time, David chose to cooperate with several local generals. It was this problem that almost killed David, and Ji Donglai and several others slept in the car with their clothes on.

At twelve o'clock noon, Ji Donglai finally saw the general he had been thinking about.

"Mr. Ji, I know you. You have a big business in Angola. I also want to do business with you. Maybe you need a lot of things from us..."

With a cigarette in his hand, Abdul looked at Ji Donglai like a Maitreya Buddha.

Not being recognized and not being paid attention to is the most important dilemma facing this country.

Everyone is trying to help this country out of its predicament, especially the group of people who dominate the fate of this country. Ji Donglai raised his hand.

"Show me what you can do business with, and I'll consider it! But before that, I want to see my friend David. I have a business partnership with him, and if he disappears, I won't get any money."

Ji Donglai didn't like the people in this place. In the words of some editors, these people were rather barbaric, and as the ultimate wealth of this country, they were not easy to deal with.

"Huh, maybe you don't necessarily like to see him. This person is dishonest, and we want him to know that we are not so easy to bully! We welcome doing business, but we can't take all the profits. You won't do that, right?"

Looking at Ji Donglai, Abdul's eyes were full of ferocity.

"I'm not here to do business, so I won't. If you think there is enough business we can do it. I want to see my friend. If he is safe, we can continue talking. If he is dead, there is no need for us to continue!"

David is an important part of Ji Donglai's business in the Middle East, and Ji Donglai hopes he can confirm it as soon as possible.

The person next to Abdul said something in Abdul's ear. Abdul thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

Then the other party took a laptop and placed it in front of Ji Sanchuan. Soon, David's weathered face appeared in the shaking screen. At this time, the other party was so thin that he was almost unrecognizable.

He had an untidy face and was hiding in a corner. The light in the environment was a little dim.

"Now that we meet, let's talk business. I know you are clearing mines in Belgrade. I have a large piece of land here. I will give you as much as you can clear. The main thing is that you come to do business."

"I've read all your information. The reason David is still alive is to get you here, but your friend is smart and he didn't give me your contact information, so he's still alive. If our deal is successful, he should be able to continue living. If it doesn't work out, he'll appear in the minefield to help us clear the obstacles."

"Mr. Ji, this is an introduction to our country. You may like it. As long as you help me make money, we can talk about everything. Thank you!"

Abdul had someone give Ji Donglai a book with an introduction entirely in English. It was basically something written by Europeans for this country.

There are a lot of contents introducing Somalia. Ji Donglai took a look and thought to himself that this was a land abandoned by God. Apart from the high temperature, it was not even as good as Ethiopia.

"It's better than..."

Ji Donglai suddenly thought of Ethiopia, a country that was different from other countries in Africa. It was the only country in Europe that had not been colonized, and it was the target of Europe's efforts to win over.

David has his own industry in Eritrea. He can do a little bit here, introduce Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing to Ethiopia, and invest in some things here. To see the map of this country, Ji Dong came to see the long coastline. He opened Google Maps and the huge salt fields along the coast appeared in sight.

Desalination plants, sea salt processing, fresh water plants… Chat leaves?

“Where is your chaat grown?”

Facing Abdul, Ji Dong looked at the map.

"We produce almost nothing because the land here is too poor and the temperature is too high, so our chaat leaves are all imported from Ethiopia. If you can grow it, we can close the border and we can make a lot of money."

As tea is a must-eat for the people of his country, Abdul likes this business very much.

This thing is also the raw material for chewing tobacco in the entire Central Asia and even the entire Islamic world. The chewing tobacco that Ji Donglai saw in the five Central Asian countries was made from this raw material.

Because khat leaves are most valuable when they are fresh, but the price is not high when the leaves are dried.

But chewing tobacco is different. It is processed and flavored, and then exported throughout the Islamic world as a favorite pastime for the poor, with a wider market than cigarettes.

Ji Donglai told Abdul about his idea, and the other party was very happy, but he could not provide the planting location.

All the good land here is controlled by more powerful generals. Those places full of mines, high temperature, little rain or even no rain are of no value at all.

"I want this part of the land. I will send people to clear the mines, and then we will build an ecological pasture on this land, the kind that goes underground. You are responsible for providing the land, transportation, and sales, and I will help you manage and plant."

"But the initial equipment costs require you to provide funds. We can appropriately reduce the costs of other things, but we cannot provide solar photovoltaic panels, sunlight collectors, and building materials for free."

"Raw materials and transportation are very expensive. If I run this ranch, you will not only be able to get khat tobacco, but also wheat, beef, fish, and even anything you need."

"First of all, you have to have something to pay us as start-up capital, otherwise we can't trade, thank you!"

Facing Abdul, Ji Donglai gave the first project.

The other party listened very carefully, and the think tank next to him occasionally added a few words, saying that Abdul and several others knew about Saudi Arabia's ecological ranch, and they knew even more about the new ecological city in Qatar.

Now that’s a very perfect recycling system that produces almost no waste, and Abdul likes it very much.

"Can your industry that produces refined oil from garbage come over? We need that project. If it comes over, we will become friends!"

After thinking for a long time, Abdul began to get excited.

On the other side, millions of tons of foreign garbage come from Europe every year. Some European countries are now able to extract a lot of precious metals from it through incineration.
