Text Chapter 87 Another Richard

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Rich's trading company's office is located at the port of Port Harcourt, next to the Nigeria Customs House.  It is a white three-story building, surrounded by a three-meter-high wall. There are four company security guards with live ammunition guarding the door.

    In the backyard, a small villa-style building is the residence of the company's leaders. It also has several guest rooms, and Jonas and a few bodyguards live in it.  Haber, the head of the trading company, also enthusiastically took Johansen and Jonas around the company. Johansen expressed the care and condolences that a leader should have to each employee, while Jonas was just a bastard.  Regardless of whether the company's development is good or bad, as long as Johnson is here, he does not have the right to express his opinions, otherwise he will take over the spotlight.

    That night, in the room where Johnson lived, the two people discussed the arrangement of the transaction.  In this transaction, weapons from three tribes need to be delivered, namely the Urhebe tribe in Delta State, the Igbo tribe and the Ijaw tribe in Bayelsa State.  In the southeastern seaside triangle of Nigeria, the Igbo people account for the majority of the population. Correspondingly, with their large numbers, they can also receive more care from the government departments, although this care is only relative.

    Delta State is dominated by the Urhebe people. The deteriorating living environment has caused their strongest opposition to government departments. In Delta State, the government's instructions can only go to the municipal level at most. At the lower level, no matter what they do,  It can only be implemented with the permission of the local king or chief.

    Bayelsa State¡¯s arms can be handed over to them directly at sea, because after all, they have a pirate team that comes and goes without a trace, so delivery is very convenient.  For the two tribes in Delta State, delivery is a bit more troublesome.  Most of the Igbo people live in the northeastern part of Delta State, where Asaba, the state government is located, with convenient transportation and simpler cargo transportation.

    The Urhebo tribe involved in the transaction is located in the south of Delta State, in the hinterland of the water town. Around them, there are more than ten different tribes gathered. Although most of them are of the same tribe, the transaction in this area cannot be allowed.  They know.  Therefore, confidentiality is the most important aspect to pay attention to.

    Jonas said: "Uncle Johnson, I am just a layman when it comes to transactions, so I think your opinion should be the main one for the arrangement of the transaction process. Just tell me what work you need me to do."

    Johansen obviously agrees with Jonas¡¯s knowledge and interests. What he fears most is that Jonas pretends to understand and the layman guides the expert.  He smiled and said: "Because this is not the first time for a transaction like this, the most difficult thing is to arrange the delivery method. If other tribes get the news and intercept the goods halfway, we will  We can only admit that we are unlucky. Because no matter how good the relationship is, they will not return these goods. At most, they will transport us a little more oil to compensate. We need to go to the other party's tribe first and coordinate the transaction method with them. This is  You need to do the work.¡±

    Jonas smiled and said: "This seems very easy. Is there anything I must pay attention to when interacting with them?"

    Johnson said: ¡°Respect each other¡¯s national habits and don¡¯t nod easily when you need to make a decision.¡±

    Facts have proved that Jonas, the first brother who committed a crime for the first time, took the problem too seriously.  For Johnson, this arms deal was just like an ordinary transaction, as simple as going to the mall to buy a pack of cigarettes.

    The weapons that need to be paid to the three tribes have been arranged into the warehouse of the engineering service company. These goods have entered the customs along with the accessories of the engineering service company. All that needs to be done now is to hand them over to each other.  The Ijaw goods are the most convenient. They only need to avoid the ineffective Nigerian customs anti-smuggling ship. When they reach the high seas, there will naturally be someone to take care of them.  The arrangement that needs to be made is the deal between the Igbo and Urgbo people.

    ? Heading north along Port Harcourt, passing through the energy town of Owerri and the logistics center of Onitsha, we arrived at the mountain city of Asaba.  Although Asaba is the provincial capital, it is not a big city in Delta State. Onitsha, across the Niger River, is twice the size of Asaba.  This has always been the gathering center of the Igbo people. As the third largest ethnic group in the country, the Igbo people have always firmly occupied most of the rights and interests in southeastern Nigeria.

    Jonas and the others, with an armed bodyguard group of more than ten people, drove to the small town of Gebuzhuo in the south of Asaba without stopping in Asaba.  In the small town, Rich's mining company is working with locals to develop a medium-sized bauxite mine.

    Along the way, if you ignore the low thatched houses and poor living environment, the tropical scenery along the way is still quite charming.  It's a pity that Jonas was so preoccupied that he didn't have the time to appreciate this exotic customs. Although he looked at the surrounding scenery calmly on the surface, he was nervously ignoring everything in his mind.

    The convoy drove into a simple factory at the foot of a remote mountain.?In front of us now, the factory building made of red bricks has not been painted, and the roof made of pressed iron sheets is extremely simple.  A towering chimney was billowing gray smoke, and the entire factory seemed steamy. This was a tropical area, and working in such an environment, one can imagine the sweltering heat inside.  The office building is built with a modern feel, and a central air-conditioning compressor on the roof is particularly conspicuous.

    A white man in his forties and a group of people were waiting at the door of the office building. Johnson introduced: "This is Michael Richard, the person in charge of the factory."

    Jonas sensed something in his words and asked, "What is his relationship with Richard?"

    "Brotherly relationship." Johnson sighed and said: "Although the environment of this factory is not very good, the benefits created are not bad. The position of the person in charge is also a good job."

    Jonas asked rhetorically: "I don't understand. I thought that within the company, only those who are capable occupy their positions."

    ¡°There are occasional exceptions.¡± The car stopped, Johnson got out of the car first, and was greeted warmly by Michael.

    Jonas got out of the car from the other side. He didn't want to pay attention to the entanglements of interests involved. Rich's company was not a place where he could make the decision.  After getting out of the car, he waved his hand to prevent Boggs and Hank from following him, and carefully looked at the layout of the factory.  The simple factory buildings are no different from those mine developments or cement factories in China in the 1970s and 1980s.

    Michael Richard came over and called out affectionately: "Hello Jonas, I heard that Alberta introduced you. If you can be appreciated by Mr. Rich, your future will be much better than that of us old men."  .You can bask in the sun on the beach and pick up girls, but we can only stay in this hot factory and work. The most disgusting thing is that the women here are really unappetizing."

    Facing the man who called him by his name when they first met, Jonas smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to shake his hand gently, and said: "Hello Mr. Richard, it's nice to meet you. For me  , the rich resources under this land are more attractive than beautiful women, so we meet here."

    "Of course, otherwise, ghosts would be willing to come to this monkey's place."

    Several black people stared at him, and Jonas smiled and said: "Mr. Richard, we are just guests here, so we should not say such things that offend the host." Before he could speak, Jonas said again: "  The weather here is really hot, let¡¯s go to the room first and then talk.¡±

    Richard wiped the sweat off his face and said with a smile, "This is a very good suggestion."

    Entering the office, the powerful air conditioner immediately blocked the heat outside.  In the conference room on the first floor, decorated with flowers by Richard, several middle-level managers reported their recent work to Johnson.  After listening for a while, Jonas focused his attention on Richard, who also looked bored.

    Normally, when his subordinates were reporting on their work, Richard should have a clear idea of ??what was being reported and would show some concern about what was right or wrong, but Jonas only saw a blank look on his face.  Jonas now somewhat understands that this is an idiot who should rely on nepotism to occupy a high position.  But this has nothing to do with Jonas directly. Of course he won't care about such a small role. If he misses today, they may rarely have the opportunity to sit together. What kind of person he is has nothing to do with Jonas.

    After several managers finished reporting their work, Richard took a long breath and said, "Mr. Johnson, it's getting late. I've asked the kitchen to prepare lunch. Let's put an end to the work."

    Johnson nodded and said: "In the afternoon, the office will have a half-day holiday, so you can take your little lover to Lagos to spend the weekend."

    Richard was stunned for a moment and asked: "Do I need to avoid it too?"

    "Of course it's not to avoid it, it's just that it won't do any good if you know these things." Johnson paused and said, "Richard, since the factory can't provide a good environment for the workers, then you can totally be gentler in your attitude.  Treat the local workers better. I don¡¯t want to hear the King of Inlar complain to me again. You have to know that the King has always looked out for Mr. Rich¡¯s face, so he didn¡¯t attack you. If you don¡¯t want to be buried  As for the Niger River, don¡¯t bully the locals too much.¡±

    Richard exclaimed exaggeratedly: "This is complete nonsense. People with ulterior motives are spreading rumors. I am not treating the workers well. I rarely even pay attention to them. And the income I give them is already above the local level."  It¡¯s the highest.¡±

    Johnson said: "This treatment was determined by Mr. Rich, and it was known to King Yinlar, not from you. I heard that the workers were not issued dust filters last month, and the stipulated 60  Only 30 pairs of masks were distributed.¡±

      Richard smiled dryly and said: "You know, this kind of dust-proof mask needs to be imported from Germany. It may be due to transportation reasons. It has not arrived yet. I have already urged the purchasing staff to purchase it."

    Johnson nodded.  "Maintaining friendly relations with the local people has always been what Mr. Rich is committed to developing. He will not allow anyone to destroy this relationship. Richard, I hope you can remember this."

    "Of course. These are what I have always been committed to maintaining."

    Jonas pretended not to pay attention to their conversation and walked to the window. It was time for the factory to get off work, and black workers wearing only a pair of pants walked out of the workshop.  All of them were stained with gray. There were two rows of shower facilities next to the wall. They happily washed away the dust from their bodies under the water pipes. The black water gathered under their feet and formed a muddy pond.
