Chapter 294 Mercenary Neem Acquisition
The development of Jiahe can bring a large amount of food to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Therefore, from the perspective of stable rule, the Kabila government does not have enough reasons to make things difficult for Jiahe.

After all, this is only the first year of his first official term. According to relevant regulations, he can legally be re-elected for one term.

Given Kabila's prestige in the military, this is not difficult to achieve.

The two terms together amount to 10 years.

If you want to make money, you can wait a little longer.

This time, Yu Honghai received an environmental protection fine of 100 million US dollars because Jiahe's seedling tissue culture factory cut down a large number of trees, affecting the ecological environment.

Guo Yang looked up at the bright and cold moon and calmed down a little. Violence was only the last resort.

"Is it the deputy leader Mumba again?"

"Yes, I found out that it was a relative of Mumba." Yu Honghai said in a deep voice: "Mumba used his power to put all his relatives and friends into the civil service system."

"Have the dogs been taken to the police station as well?" Guo Yang asked suddenly.

"Indeed, in order to make a lot of money, Mumba has gone a little crazy." Yu Honghai paused and said, "A few days ago, I have already contacted Atu Guira. Kabila is currently in Lubumbashi and wants to take action against the eastern mining area, but he promised to withdraw the relevant fines."

The fiscal revenue of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is heavily dependent on mining, but there are anti-government armed forces supported by Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi in the border mining areas.

For the Kabila government, gaining full control of the mineral resources in the eastern mining areas is a long-term struggle.

In this situation, the Kabila government also hopes for stability in the rear.

Jiahe will not only provide food for trade, but will also develop land within the country to produce food. Its importance to the Kabila government is self-evident.

Mumba allowed his relatives to make money in an attempt to disrupt the rule of the Kabila government.

The environmental fine is just the first card played.

Even if the Kabila government resolves this issue, there will be countless more in the future, and frequent riots will greatly affect the progress of projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

With the issuance of this environmental protection fine, based on the efficiency of the Congolese government, the tissue culture factory will be delayed for at least half a month.

Yu Honghai said: "Why don't we put Matadi aside for now? Let's go to Mbandaka first. With Chief Edi's help, things will be much better there."

"No, the port of Matadi is very important." Guo Yang thought for a moment and said, "We will work on the land first, and the tissue culture factory will wait for news from the Kabila government."

The business environment in Congo is indeed a headache. Everything is done very slowly, and many Chinese companies and personnel have become targets of local illegal armed forces.

But there are also successful businesses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

As a former investor in Myanmar A, Guo Yang knew that many mining companies from China had been successful in gold mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

For example, Luoyang Molybdenum Co., Ltd. has accurately purchased copper and cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on many occasions, and has successfully developed them and made considerable profits.

Luoyang Molybdenum Co., Ltd. is not well-known in China, but it is one of the most famous mining companies in the world in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

But the mining area is even more chaotic. The fact that mining companies such as Luoyang Molybdenum Co., Ltd. can survive is more or less related to violence.

For example, the Wagner mercenaries of Da Mao were once hired by a Chinese-funded enterprise to rescue more than 20 employees and protect property.

After thinking about it, Guo Yang felt that he still had to have a reliable violent organization under his control. Mumba was always a hidden danger, and interference from other forces was also a potential threat.

The security organizations are the force that protects the safety of employees and property, but they are also indispensable in carrying out the dirty work in secret.

There are many active mercenary organizations on the African continent. France, Belgium, the United States and other countries once had a large number of mercenaries in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In the 1960s and 1970s, there were two "mercenary wars" in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

It was not until the Mobutu era that they were expelled from the country, but they are still active in neighboring countries such as Uganda. Mining companies from countries such as Belgium still have a strong influence in the Great Lakes region.

He communicated with Yu Honghai for a while, emphasizing the need to cultivate, support and win over one's own people in the military and political system of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

They also secretly let Fengkai Agricultural Machinery build factories in neighboring countries to produce agricultural machinery or basic weapons.

Coming back to his senses, Guo Yang looked at Luo Xiu again, "Qianlong Security Company, besides private bodyguard training, does it have any other business?"

Luo Xiu still didn't drink tonight and said, "Currently there is only security training and service."

Qianlong Security Company, where Luo Xiu trained for more than half a year after retiring, and was then recommended to Jiahe.

After returning to China, Luo Xiu followed Guo Yang's instructions and placed another security order with Qianlong Security Company.

Guo Yang asked: "That's it?"

"That's all." Luo Xiu asked, "What other services does the boss want? Boss Chen from Qianlong said he would do his best to provide them."

Guo Yang looked around and said softly, "Are there any mercenaries?"

Luo Xiu was dumbfounded. "There is no relevant organization in the country. This is illegal."

"What about abroad?"

"Unless you are not breaking the law and are simply seeking security, or you do not want to return to your country, there will be great risks if you return," Luo Xiu introduced.

Guo Yang was not sure whether there were any Chinese mercenaries abroad during this period, but there were in later generations.

Whether it is summer workers recruited in Syria and Iraq, the French Foreign Legion, northern Myanmar, or Russia and Ukraine, there are sporadic Chinese people.

Therefore, Guo Yang thought that this could be done.

There are always people who are troubled by money or simply looking for excitement and are willing to take this path.

As for domestic private security companies abroad, most of them cannot even own guns stably and have to rely on hiring outsourcing companies to transfer guns to them before they can use guns legally.

Moreover, security and mercenaries are completely different concepts.

Spanish Foreign Legion, French Foreign Legion, Cossack Mercenaries, Nepalese Gurkha Forces, Israeli IZO Mercenary Company, Blackwater, Wagner.

These are some of the most ferocious foreign mercenary groups and companies in the world today.

It provides the world's leading private bodyguard, military training, military consulting, spy dispatch, assassination behind enemy lines and other services.

In Africa, the EO company from South Africa should not be underestimated. The civil unrest in Rwanda and the anti-government armed group UNITA in Angola were both resolved by EO company.

Both operations allowed EO to easily earn tens of millions of dollars, as well as mining rights for minerals such as diamonds.

Due to political reasons, Jiahe cannot be expanded on a large scale, but a small elite force is certainly possible.

Retracting his thoughts, Guo Yang said, "Make an appointment with Mr. Chen from Qianlong to meet and talk."

Luo Xiu knew that his boss had other ideas, so he said, "How about we meet in Altai? Mr. Chen happens to like fishing, too."

"can."

A cold wind blew.

"There may still be snow in Altay, and the lake may not have thawed yet." Guo Yang suddenly remembered and said, "Let's make it in May. Let's find out what he wants to say."

"If you're not interested, you'll disappear."

The domestic security industry has already started, and I believe that many people have already set their sights on the foreign market.
-
In the early 1960s, a book titled "Silent Spring" was published abroad.

The book describes the terrible ecological consequences brought about by the extensive use of chemical pesticides. The insects are dead and the birds are nowhere to be seen. Although spring with blooming flowers has arrived, nature is silent and lifeless.

This book became popular in the West and caused quite a stir in all walks of life. Subsequently, the development of biopesticides entered the fast lane.

Kenya's pyrethrum industry also began to rise rapidly after that, and at one point occupied 80 to 90 percent of the global market share.

After the reform and opening up, my country has rapidly become a major user of chemical synthetic pesticides.

The food we usually eat, such as grains, vegetables, fruits, tea, cooking oil, etc., already contains pesticide residues to varying degrees;
The environment around us, such as soil, rivers and groundwater, has been polluted. At the same time, the resistance of agricultural pests to pesticides has been increasing, and a large number of natural enemies have been eliminated.

Therefore, current agriculture has to increase the dosage of pesticides, or develop and use new pesticides with higher toxicity to "fight insects for food."

Reports on chemical pesticide pollution are common in various media.

For example, the smoke and sewage discharged by some chemical pesticide factories poison the surrounding environment, causing the disappearance of fish and shrimp downstream and causing many villagers to suffer from strange diseases.

A considerable portion of the fresh green vegetables sold in the markets of major northern cities in winter are grown in greenhouses using toxic pesticides.

It is no secret that in some places, vegetable farmers grow vegetables with two different treatments: one is grown without chemical pesticides and fertilizers and is kept for their own consumption; the other is grown with chemical pesticides and fertilizers and is sold to the public in the market.

In fact, as early as the 1990s, many domestic scientific research institutions used their own laboratories to test edible oils, vegetables, rice and other agricultural products, and found residues of pesticides such as DDT.

At present, citizens in our country are still worried when buying vegetables every day.

Tea is a traditional beverage in my country, but inspection reports from quality inspection departments show that the chemical pesticide residues in most teas exceed the standard.

Because the pesticide residue in tea exceeds the prescribed standard by dozens of times, the EU bans the import of Chinese tea.

Since May 2006, the island countries have also introduced a positive list system for pesticide residues in food, and my country's agricultural product exports face extremely high technical trade barriers.

Every year, a large number of people are poisoned by pesticides or commit suicide by drinking pesticides.

In short, the toxicity of chemical pesticides has become the most concerning issue for the whole society.

Domestic scientists have also begun to explore the use of biological pesticides to solve this problem.

Pyrethrum and neem, these two wonder crops, began to be gradually introduced.

Neem is widely used in India.

Thousands of people use neem leaves, bark, fruit and oil to heal injuries and treat illnesses.

Brushing your teeth with neem twigs can maintain oral hygiene and prevent tooth decay. It is said that most Indians have good dental condition, which is related to brushing their teeth with neem twigs.

Women use neem oil for contraceptive purposes, and the neem tree is therefore called the "village pharmacy."

In agriculture, farmers in many places use branches, leaves, and neem cakes to control agricultural pests, such as applying neem seed cakes in rice and sugarcane fields to prevent damage from stem borers and termites.

Farmers in some provinces also use neem branches to spread directly on the rice seedling beds, which can effectively control early rice insect pests. At the same time, the seedlings have a well-developed root system and grow strong.

In wardrobes, use neem leaves and twigs to keep out borers, and in granaries, keep out grain pests.

The properties of the neem tree are amazing and the biopesticides developed using it are environment-friendly and have no toxic residues.

Like pyrethrum, neem has also received attention from many developed countries.

In 1996, the Kunming Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences introduced pyrethrum from Kenya and planted it in Yuxi, Qujing, Honghe and other places.

During the same period, neem trees also entered my country, also mainly in Yunnan and Panxi area in southern Sichuan.

During the initial investigation, Professor Yang Qingyuan believed that the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau had clean air, unpolluted soil and precipitation, abundant sunshine, and simple folk customs, making it an ideal region for the development of plant-based biological pesticides.

Now it seems that the investigation conclusion is still very accurate, and the folk customs are indeed very simple.

As a result, several companies wrote IOUs for two consecutive years during the raw material purchasing process and owed the farmers tens of millions of yuan, which led to the farmers starting to make trouble and rebel.

Although he was beaten, he felt that he deserved it since it was not him who was beaten.

In the past two years, the pyrethrum planting area in Luxi, Honghe Province reached 6 mu, and farmers achieved an annual income of 2500 million yuan.

However, due to the lagging market development work of Honghe Senju Company and the blindness in the planting of raw materials, a large backlog of pyrethrum raw materials has occurred.

The company wrote IOUs for two consecutive years.

In addition to Honghe's Senju Company, Yuxi Subcritical Plant Company also fell into a trough.

The two companies joined forces to deal a fatal blow to local farmers, and they took several years to recover.

Due to the influence of "IOU", chrysanthemum farmers have been reluctant to grow chrysanthemums.

Yunnan's pyrethrum industry is severely hampered.

Both companies are worried!
Benefiting from the growing demand for pyrethrin technical in the international pyrethrum market, both companies have gradually opened up markets in developed countries such as Switzerland, Europe and America.

But farmers would never plant chrysanthemums!

Without raw materials and unable to pay the owed "IOUs", Senju and Subcritical Plants seemed to be stuck in a vicious circle.

At this time, someone found Professor Yang Qingyuan through connections and expressed his intention to take over Sen Ju and Subcritical.

Alas, he had no choice but to be the middleman.

On a piece of flat land on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Yu Qin, confident in his plan, turned around and was about to leave.

"Since we can't talk about it, then let's not talk about it. The Omni-King can also build a base and a factory to start from scratch, and then we can compete synchronously in the future."

Yang Qingyuan kept signaling with his eyes that Subcritical CEO Lu Caiying was still hesitating and considering.

The atmosphere was a little depressing as Yu Qin was about to get on the car.

“Alas!” Lu Caiying sighed, “Forget it, Mr. Yu, Subcritical agrees to the conditions of the Omni-King Biology.”

Yu Qin, who had already opened the car door, couldn't suppress the smile on his face, but it retracted.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Lu."

"From now on, subcritical technology will be handed over to you." Lu Caiying stretched out his hand and shook hands with him. Quanwang Biology is not well-known in the outside world, but it is a well-known name for people engaged in this industry.

With a powerful backer like Golden Harvest behind it, it is already short of money, and another competitor will only make things even more difficult.

It would be better to sell it at a good price.

Yu Qin smiled and said, "Since the King of All is here, he must want to make this industry bigger and stronger."

In addition to acquiring Subcritical, Quanwang Bio also completed a merger and reorganization of Senju Company and obtained controlling rights.

Afterwards, he rushed to Panzhihua and acquired a neem tree planting company.

The efficiency is very fast.

Because Yu Qin planned to have farmers sow pyrethrum seeds this year,

In addition, the biological pesticide developed by Quanwang using lycopodii will also be officially launched into the market this year to verify its effectiveness.
When acquiring three small companies, we naturally have to cut the Gordian knot.

The only pity is that without the pyrethrum seeds cultivated by Tianhe, the yield and active ingredient content are still far from reaching the international standards.

When Guo Yang, who was far away in Qinghe County, received the news, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The lycopodii glycosides produced from the lycopodii grown in the Asafoetida Gobi Desert will also be used on the land in the Asafoetida Gobi Desert.
