America’s Big Hero

This parade was led by people from the French phosphate industry chain, and other people followed suit.

They took the lead because they had the strongest assets, but although the individual assets of the group of people who followed behind were incomparable to theirs, they couldn't hold up to a large number of people!

Total assets far exceed them!

These people are divided into many industries, some are engaged in transportation, some are in warehousing, some are in shipping, some are in customs clearance, some are in the vegetable business, some are in handmade products, and some are in light processing... Not to mention all kinds of things. more industries.

For example, if you are engaged in transportation, you will be involved in car maintenance...

Therefore, they are the main force of the parade and the foundation of this grand parade!

Now, those people are also split.

Sean's instruction to Murray Sheedy was to differentiate first.

The confiscated assets can be selectively returned to them after investigation, but there is no way to talk about this kind of thing together.

After all, confiscation is not just a sentence, it is done with the cooperation of many people in Morocco, even if it is a government department, there must be a division of interests.

Of course, talking one by one is definitely not enough. In the end, Morocco divided 8 industries and negotiated by industry. The French can only keep up.

After the division, there is a coalition, so that 8 people from the industry can talk to the people in the 'mining industry' when the negotiation progresses to 90%. This is called dividing a group, drawing a group, and fighting a group!

It is the wisdom of the ancients!

What Mulai Xidi admired was the five-body projection. It's not that the leaders of a dignified country don't understand farts, nor can it be said that they have no vision, it can only be said that they have limitations.

Although they are in high positions, the environment they live in is really limited, and their position in the world is lower. So, even if the range they can see is far away, the width is not enough.

Every time the Moroccans go to the negotiating table, they are at an absolute disadvantage. This is the first time that they are so confident that they set the tone for the whole negotiation before going to the negotiating table.

The feeling is just one word, cool! !

What are golden thighs? In the eyes of Moroccans, Sean is golden thighs, pure gold.

In contrast, Sean is a 'demon' in the eyes of the French mining company, a demon who wants to eat them in one bite without even spitting out their bones.

Now, businessmen in other industries in France are putting pressure on them, government departments are putting pressure on them in order to calm the impact of this incident as soon as possible, and even the military is putting pressure on them.

After a confrontation exercise at sea, both the French and Spanish militaries recognized the combat effectiveness of the umbrella company, so even if they knew that the two parties would not really clash, they still had to enter a state of combat readiness and become completely nervous.

It's like the confrontation between Rabbit and Yingjiang on the southeast coast, it's like buying Red Flag soldiers while shouting slogans...

...

(PS: Don't think about it, it's really a plot push, without any metaphors, thank you!)

In Geneva, in a large suite of a five-star hotel, a dozen men with serious faces gathered in the room, which was filled with smoke.

Representatives of 3 fertilizer processing plants, 5 ore selection companies, and 4 mining companies.

The situation has changed completely beyond the expectations of the French.

The door of the bedroom inside was pushed open, and a man walked in, frowned at the smoky air but said nothing, he didn't care about these things now.

"I brought you here today for a discussion. There is a lot of pressure on us from all aspects. You know, everyone wants us to focus on the overall situation, so we need to talk to that gentleman."

Here, Sean's name is replaced by 'that', no one wants to mention this name, it's annoying.

"Fucking the overall situation!" A director of a mining company cursed viciously: "Damn it, this group of bastards, they only know to surrender, surrender!"

A Frenchman scolded another group of Frenchmen for surrendering too quickly, huh.

"Talk to that guy." A group of people said in a hurry.

"What is there to talk about, that guy has such a big appetite, and he can still give up the most meat."

"That needs to be discussed, and as soon as possible, we are in big trouble!" The man who finally walked in and called Henry said coldly.

He was a shareholder in the Edwin Mining Company, the richest and highest ranking of all the people here.

"Trouble, what's the trouble? Our property in Morocco has been swallowed up by people, so what's the trouble?" One person asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's a big trouble. Maybe our industry in France will be damaged." Henry sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his face, "It's unlucky, I never thought we would be so unlucky, Now it’s not just a matter of Morocco’s industry, we’ve been taken advantage of!!”

"What's going on, tell me clearly!" The others looked at each other and asked eagerly.

"I just got a call that someone attacked our mines and factories in Morocco, they used rocket launchers, and they fired a dozen rounds."

"Ah??" Everyone in the room looked dumbfounded, with extremely weird expressions. What is this all about?

"Why would someone attack a factory in Morocco, who is it?"

"Isn't the factory eaten by that person, why does it still make us suffer?"

"Does anyone think we attacked our factory?"

"Yes, that's it." Henry shook his head with a wry smile, and pointed to everyone present, "Some evidence left at the scene is aimed at us. Persecuted, some people took revenge in a fit of rage."

"Uh..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. To be honest, they really had this kind of thought. If they hadn't rationally told them that that guy was cruel and merciless, they would definitely take revenge if they were replaced by Moroccans.

"Okay, don't look at it, it wasn't our people who did it, it was someone else, they didn't want the peace talks to end so quickly." Henry said.

"No, what's going on? Why do I feel that the factory was robbed? I'm an outsider in this matter. Nothing has anything to do with me. I can't understand anything?" One person asked irritably, the other Everyone also looked at Henry.

Some people don't want the peace talks to succeed.

Those who lost hope that the negotiations will be concluded as soon as possible and that they will get back even some of their assets in Morocco.

The government also hopes that the matter will end as soon as possible. There is a lot of pressure on public security and society. The people are very dissatisfied with the sharp increase in the prices of seasonal vegetables and fruits. This term of the government is under a lot of pressure.

The military also hopes to end as soon as possible and return to normal conditions.

Even they want this shit to end, and they believe the Moroccans don't want it anymore, so who doesn't want it to end?

"I just got a set of data, and you will understand as soon as I tell you that since the complete cessation of commercial exchanges, the prices of seasonal fruits and vegetables in the southern region have increased by an average of three times, and the peak has increased by five times, and the consumption has increased year-on-year 20%."

"Wait, I can understand that you said that the price has increased, but why has the consumption increased so much?" One was confused.

"Because the price of things has risen, everyone, all the people know that there is a shortage of fruits and vegetables, and people will rush to buy them as soon as they are available in the market. Everyone thinks that eating fruits and vegetables at this time is more fashionable, more precious, and it can better reflect their living standards and show off. Worth."

"Quickly, those children who don't like to eat vegetables on weekdays have started to eat them, understand!" Henry said with a depressed face: "Plus the transportation channels are not smooth, and the rate of rot and damage on the road has increased, so the consumption is higher than that of vegetables." Higher than normal."

"But, damn it, what does this have to do with us?" Everyone looked at Henry with puzzled faces.

"Very big!" Henry's expression changed from anger to helplessness, from pain to decadence, and finally heaved a heavy sigh, "Do you know how many people there are in the south of France?"

Everyone:? ? ?

If it weren't for Henry's status being the highest at the scene, everyone would have jumped up and beat Henry up hard. They hate it most when someone talks upside down.

"Don't look at me like that, and I don't want to, but it's complicated, understand!" Before everyone could answer, Henry continued: "Last year's census showed that there were 57.3 million people in France, and 24 million people lived in southern France. .”

"It is well known that the main source of supply of vegetables for these people's daily consumption is Morocco."

France has plains and is rich in wheat, which is exported to Morocco in large quantities. However, France does not produce vegetables, and local vegetables are very expensive.

The reason is that wheat can be mechanized on a large scale, and one person can manage hundreds of acres, keeping the price of grain very low, but growing vegetables cannot!

There is no way to drive a tractor into the vegetable field to harvest cucumbers, not tomatoes!

Fruits are not good either, you can't cut down the fruit tree and suck all the fruits at once!

It takes a long time for vegetables to be picked until they are completely finished. They can be picked every day. This work can only be done manually, which requires a large number of people. 50% of Morocco's population is engaged in agricultural-related work.

Artificial labor occupies a particularly large part of the production cost of vegetables and fruits. Therefore, vegetables and fruits in developed countries or regions have always been more expensive than cattle.

The poorer the place, the cheaper the vegetables and fruits.

So we will find that the places where vegetables and fruits are exported have always been economically backward areas.

I heard Henry say: "Have you calculated how many vegetables are consumed in southern France every day? We don't mention fruits, but vegetables."

Everyone shook their heads. They were in the business of fertilizers, and no one cared about it.

"Let me tell you, 24 million people, based on the calculation of 250 grams per day for everyone, then consume 6,000 tons per day, and this is not counting waste."

"So, now that the two sides have stopped trade, where do the fruits and vegetables needed in the southern region come from?" Henry spread his hands helplessly, "This is fruits and vegetables, and these things are not bread, not cars, and they can't be transferred from anywhere Seasonal fruits and vegetables from the source of goods need to grow, they need time, and even the transportation time is fixed, they will not be fresh after a long time, and the price difference is several times, so it is impossible for us to change the origin of the source of supply.”

Several people shook their heads again. At this time, everyone's expressions became serious, and there was a vague bad feeling in their hearts.

"Calculation, 6,000 tons, do you know how much the extra double profit is? According to this figure, it is 12 million. In fact, the figure I got is that the daily consumption is more than 7,000 tons, and this industry chain earns 1,500 more per day. Ten thousand!"

"Including fruits, the total is no less than 20 million!"

"It's every day, my friends, do you know that this frankly earns faster than pan-drugs, after all, not everyone eats poisons, but vegetables and fruits are different!"

"And how did these vegetables and fruits enter the southern region of France when commercial activities were completely suspended?"

"Smuggling!" One person subconsciously said.

"Yes, smuggling!" Henry nodded, "A large number of people are now smuggling fruits and vegetables in the Mediterranean, but we all know that the French military has deployed a lot of troops in the Mediterranean, especially during this time when the military has entered a state of high tension. , but in this state, how did those damn ships transporting vegetables and fruits pass through the naval defense line?"

"Is it because those smuggling ships with a loading capacity of hundreds of tons or thousands of tons are invisible, so the navy's various radars can't find them?"

"No, it's because the profit is too huge, and many people make a fortune in this new industrial chain."

"From the military to the port, from customs to the police, from government officials to the mafia, a huge and complex industrial chain, more than 10 people die every day because of the struggle of this industrial chain!"

Henry waved his arms excitedly, "They, they don't like the end of the blockade, because once the blockade is opened, their business will not be able to be done, 20 million US dollars a day!"

"No one wants to stop, these people are crazy now, counting money like crazy."

"Now tell me, for such a large sum of money, will someone take the risk and go to Morocco to wreak havoc!"

Everyone gasped... the smoke, the smoke that was originally lingering in the city was cleared up a lot.

This is simply too possible!

It's not like pan-drugs. A fixed industrial chain has been formed for decades. Now it's a windfall. Whoever can catch it, if he catches it for one more day, will make a fortune for one more day.

"Everyone knows that we don't want to compromise and want to get back the property from that person, even if it's just a part." Henry looked around, "Well, I thought so half an hour ago."

"Now, my friends, we are in big trouble. Those smugglers have planted a frame on us, and we have no evidence to refute it."

"So, we must end this matter as soon as possible, if we don't want to become everyone's enemy, and then be abandoned by everyone and become a scapegoat."

The atmosphere in the room is very depressing, everyone has an ugly face, this room is full of big names in the industry, they are all quite rich, and they are all at the highest level of the company.

Don't say that smuggling has nothing to do with them, even if it is in front of them, they will not touch it. If they can make 1 million legally, they will definitely not make 5 million illegally.

Because the 1 million can be earned all the time, and 5 million is likely to send him to prison, and he will never have the chance to earn 1 million.

Risk to profit is not proportional.

But they were roasted on the fire, and everyone wanted to cut a piece of meat from them to eat. It would be strange if they were in a good mood.

The most important thing is that they didn't offend anyone, but they just became the coveted delicacy on the table for no reason.

"Talk, we must talk, we must clarify, this matter has nothing to do with us, even if there is no evidence, we must clarify." A guy slapped the table hard and said with an ugly face.

"Yes, we must clarify, and then find the gang of smugglers, I will send them all to prison."

"Don't think about smuggling." Henry shook his head, "You are angry now, calm down and you will know that there is nothing you can do. There are too many people involved, and no one dares to move. Most of them are not professionals. , They don’t know what it means to shut up.”

"Once they are caught, they dare to say anything in order to reduce their sentence. In the end, everyone will be implicated. The result is that the underground world will be chaotic, the customs will be chaotic, the military will be chaotic, the government will be chaotic, and everything will be chaotic. The impact will be several times or even higher than it is now."

"So, as long as you have a little political wisdom, you will never dare to investigate it. For the government, this matter can only be regarded as not seeing it!"

"No right or wrong!"

This is politics. There is no right or wrong in politics. The fundamental purpose of government officials is to make society run smoothly and orderly, and everything must revolve around this.

Right or wrong, good or evil, that is God's business, not the government!

You can't make a mess of society just because of the simple question of right and wrong, you will only be picked out and thrown into a corner alley, or simply sent to your death!

"How to talk to that person." Someone brought the topic back.

"We need a middleman."

"Moroccan?"

"Don't think about it, it's just a group of puppets."

"Find the military!" Henry whispered.

"Ah? Isn't it? Didn't they fight? I heard from people in the military that they didn't hold back during the exercise, and the overall exercise was reported to the highest level, which received great attention."

"I got the news that the military exercise is indeed true, but it is also true that they had private contacts. Normally, the military's original alert level should not be so high, but these two are pushing to raise the alert level. "Henry whispered: "There is a problem here, I don't know the specific situation, but there is an invisible tacit understanding between the two sides."

The matter was settled like this, but they didn't go directly to the door, but after discussing it, they asked someone to call Thompson Alves.

Sure enough, Thompson Alves agreed to say hello to Sean.

...

The next day, Henry and his party of 12 flew to Casablanca, Morocco.

Sean was indeed in Geneva a few days ago, but the factories and mines were attacked, so Sean went back to Casablanca to deal with it.

As early as 1920, when Morocco was still a French colony, the first phosphate mining company established was headquartered in Casablanca. The first mining area built at that time was the Khouribga mining area, and the ore was directly shipped to France at the port of Casablanca.

Casablanca has a population of 5 million, more than double the population of the capital Rabat.

In the villa manor sent by Mulai Xidi on the outskirts of the city, Sean met Henry and his party.

The vehicle stopped, and a group of people got out of the car and were stopped at the gate of the villa.

Body search, don't care about the identities of these people, how rich they are, this is an extraordinary period, someone has attacked his factory and mining area just now, of course Sean must check strictly.

Of course, this kind of thing does not need to be ordered by Sean, Torre will arrange it.

It's just that a body search is a bit unacceptable to the proud French. When will the French be searched in Morocco!

These people have been domineering in Morocco for decades, even if they visit the king, they will not be searched. The habit formed for a long time makes them very angry, but in order to negotiate, they must meet Sean...

I don't have the heart to talk nonsense to a group of inferior security guards who don't have any right to make decisions. In their minds, this is what Sean arranged for the purpose of humiliating them.

A group of people with dark faces allowed themselves to be searched before being taken to the living room.

When they arrived in the living room, no one greeted them, not even a cup of coffee, so they just sat there, feeling more and more angry and uncomfortable.

Having been robbed of their property, squeezed out by their own people, and framed by others, not only have nowhere to redress their grievances, but also find the culprit who robbed them to explain the situation...

It is not an exaggeration to say that you are groveling, and you are so angry.

It took a full half an hour for Sean to come down from upstairs. To be honest, he really didn't mean to leave this group of people alone.

Morocco is not Xisar, Casablanca is not Laayoune, Sean can't block all the middle and high management of mining groups and chemical plants.

When he took over, most of the middle and senior management and technicians ran away. There was a risk to personal safety, and the company had no way to force employees to take risks.

They are a serious company, and they are not as tyrannical as the owner of a private security company who did not want to be named.

Therefore, when Sean took over, it was a mess, and the production basically stagnated. The reason why he stayed in Morocco was to reorganize the company besides helping Moulay Shidi.

As a result, the company was attacked the day before yesterday. He was really busy, paying for the wounded, comforting the personnel, repairing equipment, and resuming production...

Walking down the stairs, Lorraine followed Sean. Henry and the others looked up, and the faces of the Frenchmen became even uglier.

They are waiting downstairs, this one is still playing with women upstairs!

Lorraine is indeed a secretary, and she is indeed beautiful and charming, so it is really normal for them to think so.

Walking to the main seat of the sofa, Sean sat down, crossed his legs, looked around and finally fell on Henry, but before he could speak, a voice full of resentment and sarcasm sounded, "Mr. Sean's villa The security is really strict enough, guests have to be searched, heh, I'm really afraid of death, is it because there are too many enemies?"

Sean opened his mouth, swallowed back what he wanted to say, and looked up and down the speaker. He was about 50 years old, and his hair and beard were meticulously arranged. Even though the wind and sand here were heavy, he still looked so glamorous and tidy. He looked like a member of the social elite. elite.

Henry wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Negotiations, even if they are in a weak position, they can't just surrender when they come up, just try it out.

Sean sighed, "I don't like your tone."
