    Jonas returned to his room, where the heads of several of Rich's companies in Nigeria were already in his room.  Although Jonas does not hold any position in Rich's company, as Rich's plenipotentiary representative, no one dares to ignore his existence.

    Except for Elini and Cassinari, the rest of the people in the room were all men. Four of them came from Spain with Cassinari, and among them was the poor Haddon who was robbed.

    Of the four responsible persons in Nigeria, Jonas knows two of them.  Brownhill, the head of the exploration company, has known Jonas for a long time, because he has been a colleague of Jonas's mother for many years, and he has been a guest at Jonas's home before. However, because his position is not the highest here,  So he didn't speak, just nodded and smiled, and Jonas nodded to him.

    The general person in charge of Nigeria is Johnson, whom he had met in Spain. When he met Jonas, he smiled and said: "Hello Jonas, welcome to the mysterious Africa. I sincerely wish you a happy life."

    Jonas hugged him, smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle Johnson, this is a strange place for me, so I need you to teach me more about Africa."

    "I hope you won't hate this place because of poverty and backwardness."

    "No, no, for me, the black gold here is full of attraction. Isn't that why we get together here?"

    Johnson smiled and introduced: "Let me introduce to you, this is the general manager of the Nigerian branch of the import and export company.

    "Harber, he and your father were also former colleagues.  "Jonas shook hands with him. "This is Frank, the general manager of the engineering services company.  "

    Jonas asked: "I have always been curious. The exploration company should also belong to the business scope of the petroleum engineering service company. Why are our companies separate?"

    Frank said with a smile: "Because our company has mastered some internationally leading engineering technologies, in the international field, these technologies need to be protected by technical barriers. The separation of exploration companies will make it easier to sign and perform contracts."

    What Jonas hated most in his previous life was technical barriers, because he was a victim of technical barriers, but in this life, he began to like this word, because now he is the beneficiary.  Jonas smiled and said: "I am very curious about the strength of our engineering service company. I hope I can get to know you better if I have the opportunity in the future."

    "Of course, I'm very happy to." Frank smiled and shook hands with him.

    The last Brownhill Jonas said without Johnson's introduction: "Uncle Brownhill is an old friend of mine. The statue of Julien he gave me is still in my room."  and Brownhill hugged.

    After everyone got to know each other, Cassinari chaired the meeting.  "As the plenipotentiary representative of Mr. Rich, in addition to participating in the political and business forum held by the Presidential Palace, Mr. Hoffman will also conduct an on-site inspection of the company's various projects in Nigeria to understand the operating conditions, so I hope everyone can actively cooperate with Mr. Hoffman."  Mr. Furman¡¯s work.¡±

    Johnson expressed his position on behalf of everyone: "On behalf of the Nigerian staff, I would like to express our most enthusiastic attitude towards Hoffman's arrival. He will definitely make Hoffman feel at home."

    Jonas said with a smile: "Uncle Johansen, just call me Jonas. I am not here as a guest, but here to learn. I am a newcomer both in the energy industry and in work practice.  Therefore, I need your seniors¡¯ generous advice.¡±

    For the business of Rich Company, Jonas actually has no room to dictate.  Although he is Rich's representative, this image is external and does not mean that Jonas has the right to interfere with the company's internal management.  Even though Cassinari held him up so high, it was actually just putting a little pressure on the people below.  The current situation is that hello, hello, everyone is happy, and everyone is happy. If Jonas really takes it seriously and finds something to do, it will only prove that he is ignorant.

    After communicating with these senior managers for a while, the others left first, and only Johnson stayed.  Jonas asked Alini to take out a box of Jamaican cigars and said: "Uncle Johnson, I heard that you are very knowledgeable about cigars. I bought a few boxes of Jamaican cigars in the United States and help me appreciate them."

    Johnson said with a smile: "No matter where they are, the leader's hobby will always affect the people below. Mr. Rich's hobby of cigars has affected our entire circle. In this circle, not being able to smoke cigars seems to be a problem.  It's a very unusual thing." He took the cigar and praised in surprise: "Jonas, you are very discerning. Barrington cigars are the only authentic cigar brand in Jamaica. Now there are many cigars selling Jamaican cigars.  The brand just bears the name of Jamaica. Although it has the neutral and mild taste of Jamaican cigars, it isNot that authentic.  Some are just similar in taste and not produced in Jamaica at all.  "

    Jonas smiled and said: "Maybe twenty years from now, we can have an in-depth conversation on this topic."

    ¡°Of course, now you still need to be exposed to some different cigars to find your favorite cigar.¡±

    Jonas smiled and said: "Fortunately, I don't need to choose a job anymore."

    Johnson laughed.  "Of course, what we do is the most perfect profession on the planet, and no job can compare with it. But, Jonas, are you really ready? As far as I know, you are the youngest person to enter this industry.  By."

    "So what I need is to learn."

    Johnson said: "No, it's more than just studying. Jonas, we need a strong heart to do this. We need to be as hard as iron for everything in this world. Otherwise, you will live in pain all your life."  Among them. Because of our plunder, countless people will live in poverty, and because of our support, countless people will die at gunpoint"

    Jonas said: "Uncle Johnson, we need to be more careful."

    Johnson said with a smile: "Before you go back to the room, we have used sonar detection, electronic detection, and microwave detection to check the room in detail. Here, only the three of us can know about our conversation."

    Jonas felt relieved and said: "These are all relative. Uncle Johnson, we robbed some people and helped some people. The weapons we supplied killed some people and saved some people."  The plunder and the war did not start with us, nor did they end with us. We just did what we were supposed to do.¡±

    "No wonder Mr. Rich values ??you so much." Johnson laughed, "Wait until I light this cigar."

    Ellini handed over the cigar cutter and the spray gun. Johnson carefully cut off the tail of the cigar, placed the cigar about 5 centimeters away from the flame, and carefully toasted the cigar until the tobacco oil was released from the wrapper.  Then it slowly ignited.

    Taking a heavy puff, Johnson put the smoke in his mouth, closed his eyes and enjoyed it intoxicatedly, then opened his eyes, exhaled the smoke and said: "It is indeed a rare cigar, with a mild and smooth taste, and a rich and fragrant aroma."  It¡¯s not spicy and feels better than Cuban cigars. I like the taste.¡±

    Jonas smiled and said, ¡°Then I picked the right cigar.¡±

    Johnson laughed, "The person you picked is also very right." The two laughed.

    Elini rolled her eyes, "Gentlemen, don't forget that your time is very urgent. Do you have to waste your time on this boring topic?"

    Johnson coughed and changed the topic to the topic.  ¡°Jonas, do you know anything about Nigeria?¡±

    "Just some information."

    Johnson nodded and said: "Because Mr. Rich was wanted in his early years, he has never really invested in the upstream of the oil industry, that is, the development of oil wells. Our company has always been mainly focused on trading and engineering services, focusing on Nigeria."  Several southeastern states. In addition to Delta and Rivers states, where most of our security teams are stationed to protect our oil transportation, in Bayelsa state, we also station one of our local Nigerian pirate groups."

    Jonas frowned, "Pirate group? Is this necessary?"

    Johnson laughed and said: "Of course it is necessary. This pirate team is all members of the Ijaw tribe. Although they have a lot of oil, they have no electricity and the supporting facilities are backward, so they are the poorest state in Nigeria. Even though they have a lot of oil, they have no electricity and the supporting facilities are backward.  Without our support, they would have relied on fishing to make a living. Now that they have an opportunity to make extra money, they are more active than we expected."

    "So the weapons this time are mainly traded with them?"

    Johnson shook his head and said: "No, they are active at sea, so their weapons do not need to be traded at all, just supply them directly at sea. In Nigeria, there are more than two hundred tribes, and only in Southeast Oil  There are more than a hundred different tribes in the area. Although only one tenth of the tribes we deal with are all large tribes. And they are in urgent need of weapons. You know the biggest difficulty in our dealings with them  What is it?" Without waiting for Jonas to answer, he said: "The most difficult thing is confidentiality. Not only do we have to guard against Interpol, multinational companies, and the Nigerian government, but we also have to guard against their hostile tribes knowing that we supply weapons.  .¡±

    "Is all this worthwhile?"

    Johansen said: "Of course, we are just pure businessmen, and demand determines the market. Weapons are a currency for us, a currency that is better than the euro and the U.S. dollar.A strong currency, the only thing stronger than it is food.  "

    Jonas said: "You mean, as pure businessmen, the high and low morals are not the objects of our consideration, it is just business?"

    Johnson took a puff of his cigar and was silent for a while in the smoke.  "Jonas, you are very smart, but it is easier said than done. To understand an industry, you must first invest in it. I hope this transaction will be helpful to you."

    Jonas said: "I need to know some details of the transaction."

    "Of course. After you finish participating in this forum, we will make detailed arrangements."
