Chapter 731 The New Look of Mozambique
Half a month later
Tiger Gate
The towering Viscount Humen Castle
Viscount Li Yong sat in the hall in gorgeous clothes, and his lower head was the powerful arm of the smuggling business to help Mo Zhenxiong and more than a dozen other local bosses.
Both Mo Zhenxiong and Li Yong were from his Majesty's personal guard officers. They were fooled by Lieutenant Colonel Lei Xiaopeng to the African Expeditionary Team. They were also one of Li Yong's initial smuggling close partners and shareholders.
Although he had retired from active service for a long time, he made a lot of money. He was one of the most popular tycoons in Xi'an, and he was very strong.
Mo Zhenxiong came today to give a big price to recommend the only baron's lifelong nobles in Viscount Li Yong's hands. He offered a big price. At the cost of the five-year dividend rights of Xi'an Port, the warehousing terminal and the smuggling business, all of which were worth about 400,000 gold medals in exchange for this precious recommendation.
A moment of silence
Viscount Li Yong did not agree immediately. The atmosphere in the hall seemed very solemn. Mo Zhenxiong was much richer than he had been more than ten years ago. He had a majestic beard on his face. He looked at the beams of the room with a blank expression, and his face gradually became stiff.
"Brother Zhenxiong, you sold all the major assets in your hands. Could it be other ideas?"
"Sir, we are not secretly talking about it. In this acre of three-point land in Somalia, I will always be suppressed by you no matter how I develop. This kind of life is not good, and I am also tired of the hot weather in Xi'an, so I am ready to develop in another place."
"Brother Zhenxiong, if you don't hesitate to give me advice... I wish to hear it carefully."
"There is nothing to say. I want to develop in the central state of Mozambique. Some of us have money and power, and we are no longer poor and poor when we first came to Somalia. We should be able to quickly create a new situation."
"Oh... the central Mozambique state is a good place that should be second only to Malawi. To be honest, the development potential of Mozambique region is much greater than that of Somalia, the climate is also very good, and it is very suitable for living development. Your choice is not wrong."
"Maybe, in fact, I'm also tired of the dry and hot weather in Xi'an. The oasis is so big that it can't even be comfortable with water. When it comes to dry season, there is another sandstorm every now and then. I'm really fed up with this ghost place."
"Brother Zhenxiong, this ghost place has made you rich."
"Hmm, I know." A hint of impatient look flashed across the corner of Mo Zhenxiong's eyebrows. He took a deep breath in his heart, and said, "Sir, we brothers have been together for more than ten years and have experienced countless life and death.
I remember that our horse team was disbanded by the Ottoman cavalry, and only a few brothers were left to kill together. They worked hard in the desert for more than 10 days, and were so thirsty that they drank their own urine before they could get out of the dead. Finally, they had a wealth of wealth that they are now.
If you are rich and noble, don’t forget each other.
I, Mo Zhenxiong, are not a person who forgets our roots. I cherish our brotherly friendship for more than ten years very much. I was not going to speak out, but when I go to Mozambique to develop, I always have a noble status, so I rashly force it.
Brother, I also know that this was exchanged for the Lord’s life. I won’t take this noble title of life-long baron in vain. I tried my best to exchange half of my wealth, just to prevent the Lord’s difficulty in doing it.
If you succeed or not, please give me a happy word."
Judging from this situation, if the talk broke today, Mo Zhenxiong's face would have no place to put it, and the relationship between the two would turn red and would never get better.
Hesitate for a moment
Viscount Li Yong sighed and said, "I do have a recommended place for a lifelong baron in my hand, but I am not ready to give it up, but I want to leave it for my son to inherit it.
If you want to get from the baron, I have two recommended places left, so there are still some discussions.
But this lifelong baron is definitely not good, so I can only say sorry."
Once this statement is made
Mo Zhenxiong's face turned black; "Since that's the case, that's all." He responded in a muffled voice, and sat there silently.
He dared not turn against him. Viscount Humen has woven a huge potential force in various cities in Somalia over the years. Whether it is EU trade or smuggling business on the Arabian Peninsula, there are many powerful partners, which is not something that can be monopolized by one person.
Therefore, the forces hidden under the water are extremely amazing.
Seeing Mo Zhenxiong's depressed look, Viscount Li Yong sighed secretly, knowing that the relationship between the two had ended, but this was nothing to do.
Now the two are no longer the simple little officers they used to be, but are both wealthy business tycoons. Their industries are complex and their interests are intertwined, and they have long been infected by society to change their appearance.
Two years ago
Viscount Li Yong paid for the 2,000 mercenary army out of his own pocket, and was preparing to fight with the Italians head-on. That was a very big risk. He wanted to pull Mo Zhenxiong to do it, but he refused.
His Majesty the King was kind and gave three lifelong barons a recommended place.
Viscount Li Yong took out two to his subordinates. "Bloody Hell" spent all his money to fight with him in the north and south. He was the main military commander of the mercenary army. He relied on his rich combat experience to save the defeat several times. He led the way in the final battle and launched a decisive charge with the Ethiopian cavalry, disrupting the Italians' defensive deployment in one fell swoop, winning the final victory, and getting a baron quota.
The same is true for "Old Wolf". In the Italians' volleyball, they also helped themselves block bullets, and they had to be assigned a baron quota no matter what.
Li Yong won’t give anyone the remaining one, so he has to leave it to his son.
He now has a wife and six concubines, and he has three boys and two girls and five children in the main family. Except for the eldest son who will inherit the title of viscount in the future, other children must always consider it. Isn’t it?
The rest was to go through the motions. When he promised to recommend the Baron to "Cross Mountain Wind", Viscount Li Yong gave it readily, which made "Cross Mountain Wind" overjoyed, and burst into tears in his heart and thanked him in panic.
After this battle
The chiefs of the Kingdom of Ethiopia finally woke up and knew that Somalia mercenaries were not easy to mess with, nor were Italians who traveled thousands of miles from Europe to get cheaper. They were deeply rooted in Somalia and could not afford to offend them.
Ethiopian Emperor Menelik II has sent a special envoy to negotiate on the border issue with a low attitude, basically accepting the conditions of Somalia, expressing his best efforts to restrain the indigenous chiefs and maintain the peace of the border between the two countries, and has not mentioned any major losses to the Duke of Enfield.
The battle of "Crossing Mountain Wind" was beautiful, and it brought morale and majesty. It should have been rewarded.
Subsequently, "Lashoudong" and "Hai Ge" and other people formed Aksu Wood Industry Company. In order to exclusively contract the Aksu River matter, Viscount Li Yong agreed after only a brief consideration, on the condition that 30% of the profit was handed over.
He is quite optimistic about the young man Lazhedong, who dares to take risks, has ideas and is motivated, and is a good seedling.
Let go of his hands and Viscount Li Yong is very interested in seeing how far he can go?
Why is this kind of thing not allowed by Somalia?
The truth is very simple
The Aksu River has exceeded the scope of Somalia and is undisputedly within the Kingdom of Ethiopia. As a first-level local government, Somalia is definitely not suitable for participating in this matter.
Viscount Li Yong is different. He has done more illegal business, and the regular troops of the Kingdom of Italy dare to fight. The smuggling business goes deep into the depths of the Arabian Peninsula, the Mesopotamia and the Persian Kingdom, and no one needs permission. The Aksu River is just a piece of cake and nothing is needed.
Mozambique, Central State
When ships travel on the wide Zambezi River, you can see a clear beacon extending into the distance, marking the deep water main channel.
The water volume in the middle and lower reaches of the Zambezi River is very high. After the rainy season, the surging river water overflows the river beach. The river surface is 8 to 12 kilometers wide, and there is a vast white country of water everywhere.
If the main channel is not marked, the passing ships are prone to danger. Over the years, dozens of ships have been killed and paid a heavy price.
Seoul Port
There are many steamers moored in the anchorage of the harbor, and the docks are busy loading and unloading goods. The heavy tractors in the port come and go, and there is a scene of prosperous commercial situation.
The states of Mozambique are rich in cotton, and Seoul is the center of the cotton textile industry in the region. The cotton transported from the states is spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, and is exported to various territories of the Ocean Kingdom, becoming the most important pillar-type export product in Mozambique, driving the rapid economic development of the region.
It is precisely because of the prosperous cotton textile industry that Seoul's population has skyrocketed sharply. Now the total urban population is close to 490,000, which will exceed the 500,000 mark by the end of the year, reaching a scale of 520,000 to 530,000, making it the largest city in Mozambique.
One trick can be eaten all over the world.
Seoul City grew up with the developed cotton textile industry, surpassing the old industrial city of Qiquwan (formerly Qiqu Town). Although the industrial output value is still inferior, it cannot stand the cotton textile industry is a population-intensive industry, and the agglomeration effect is too obvious.
After more than ten years of development, in Seoul City, there are now seven cotton textile mills with only more than 10,000 people, dozens of small and medium-sized cotton textile mills with hundreds of people to thousands, hundreds of large and small weaving factories, and many printing and dyeing factories. In addition, there are hundreds of ready-made garment factories, as well as matching buttons, leather, textile accessories, transportation, commerce and other formats, forming a complete set of cotton textile production and export processing systems.
During the Civil War in Australia
Millions of military uniforms, tens of thousands of tents, and a large number of cotton shirts, underwear, underwear and other military products are all from this, which strongly supported the local war and contributed to the final victory.
However, Mozambique's cotton textile industry also has hidden concerns.
According to the tacit understanding between the Ocean Kingdom and the United Kingdom, the cotton textile industry is limited to the needs within the Ocean Kingdom, and does not seek markets within the British Empire's colonial system and the Far East market, and must impose self-restrictions.
This is because the cotton textile industry is related to the lifeblood of British light industry. The British light industry's signature brand is pure cotton woven fabric. It not only conquered European markets including France, Germany, Italy and Austria, but also flooded the Qing Dynasty and Fuso like a tide, defeating the local hand-made textile fabrics step by step, and had almost no room for survival.
If the above-mentioned market is violated, it will directly infringe on the interests of the British Empire.
If you are not as strong as others, this is nothing to do.
In today's world, the only ones that can compete with the British Empire in the cotton textile industry are the two rebellious sons, the United States and the Ocean Kingdom, without any semicolons.
