Chapter 59： : Price of cabbage and radish

Aidid is quite happy to pay.

Directly ask Omar to transfer Tang Dao's Swiss bank account from the overseas bank.

"Happy cooperation." Tang Dao has risen from the middle and lower poor peasants to the local tyrants all of a sudden, and, as expected, the business is big, and the income is also big, unlike in Namibia, where he can only earn some hard work by selling some firearms.

Aidid also shook hands with him kindly, and joked with interest, "Mr. Nicholas, if the price is more beautiful, I think I am willing to bring more hope home."

More than 8 million US dollars has almost taken out most of his working capital.

Of course, his overseas assets cannot be counted, and Aidid is also reluctant to spend it.

Tang Dao can tell that the other party must have other ideas, so it's easy to handle!

If you have no money, you can use other methods.

It doesn't necessarily need real money, as long as it looks good, you can change weapons.

"General, in fact, we can do business in another way." Tang Dao smiled and narrowed his eyes into a line. He really couldn't let him go without detaining some dirt from the buyer.

"Business?" Aidid glanced at Omar, confused.

"I heard that there are four airfields in Mogadishu, and I want to rent one of them."

Tang Dao, this is Tu Qiong Dagger. He has discussed the geographical location of Somalia with several employees, and he has to say that this place is really a natural place to go.

The Gulf of Aden is located in the middle of the trade routes between East Asia and Europe. It is the only place to pass through the Suez Canal to shorten the voyage. It is also close to the oil-rich Middle East and North Africa. It can provide a lot of service trade for ships. It can be used as a window for African products to be shipped to the world. The coastal fishery is rich, and to some extent it is very suitable for the development of port trade.

However, the shipping conditions in the Red Sea near Somalia are poor, and the weather conditions are not pleasant, especially the climate conditions in the northern part of Somalia near the Gulf of Aden are dry all year round. In addition, the navigation capacity of the Suez Canal is limited.

In terms of economy, the economy is backward, the infrastructure conditions are poor, it is difficult to provide high-quality services for passing ships, the transportation is inconvenient, and the connection with the hinterland of Africa is affected by the East African plateau, so it is difficult to take advantage of the port.

In terms of politics, political corruption, the limited power of the central government, and constant wars among various tribes, many people are forced to participate in pirates for their livelihoods, which makes the conditions for life security very poor, which makes the originally backward economy even more impoverished. In the wave of economic globalization It is more marginalized, the investment in education is insufficient, and it is even more unable to develop the economy through knowledge channels.

But isn't this chaos what Tang Dao likes?

Moreover, the Il-76 can almost cross the African continent and carry out certain material delivery, which will expand the company's business, and after it is established in this place, it can be used as a resident to conduct PMC employee training.

It's much better than being stared at by those hooligans in North America or Europe.

Rent an airport?

Aidid frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and carefully considered the operability inside. He didn't have an air force under his command, and he didn't even have a decent combat helicopter. To put it bluntly, he was actually a warlord after the collapse of the Siad government. Warlords like him are everywhere in Somalia and even Africa, but he was lucky and occupied Mogadishu.

"Not at Mogadishu International Airport."

Aidid shook his head first.

Tang Dao felt relieved, he knew that the other party was letting go, "Don't worry, I don't want this place, what I want is the 50-kilometer airport."

The international airport is located in the old city. After the civil war began, it became one of the main battlefields for several parties. By 1992, it suffered heavy losses under the bombing of the Americans. Compared with Egypt, which is 18 kilometers away from the city Saray Airport has "no background" at all.

There are 4 airports in Mogadishu. In addition to the international airport, the other 3 airports are all military airports, namely the Essaray Airport 18 kilometers north of the capital, the "50 kilometers airport" in the southwest and the 105 kilometers northwest of the airport. The latter two airports are transit points for Djibouti-based Daru Airlines and Nairobi-based African Express Airlines.

Tang Dao wants this. As for Nadalu Airlines, I'm sorry...you can find another transfer station, if you don't cooperate?

No matter how much nonsense you say, it's not as direct as a bullet!

"50 kilometers to the airport?" Aidid looked at Tang Dao with strange eyes, opened his mouth, swallowed what he wanted to say, whispered to Omar behind him, then turned his head, "Yes, but the price..."

"Three hundred thousand dollars, and it also includes the right to use 100 square kilometers of land near the airport, leased for 50 years!

This price is already very humane. What is there at Essaray Airport?

There is no hanging hair, not even a wall, and even bullock carts can enter at will. That place, Tang Dao let people see it, it is a mess, it is horrible, can that place be called an airport?

Might as well call the toilet.

The most valuable thing is the standard runway close to 3,000 meters, which is very helpful for the take-off of the IL-76.

If he leases it, he will spend money to expand it. As for the land, of course he intends to use it as a training base. Somalia is a good place, and it is so cheap.

100 square kilometers?

Aidid is not good at mathematics, I don't have this concept, but I don't care, after all...

African land is notoriously worthless, and you can hardly afford food. Who is in the mood to engage in real estate?

"In the future, when the general buys goods from us, all prices will be discounted by 40%. Moreover, you will be given priority. If necessary, our The company will help you join the war, as long as you pay a little reward." Tang Dao smiled like a profiteer He didn't say the whole thing, 40% off? But he can raise the price first!

Paying some remuneration means that you have no money, don't bother me, just give money to help you work hard.

The art of language can be embodied in two kinds of people, one is a politician and the other is a businessman.

How could the African guys understand Tang Dao's "good intentions", Aidid only thought that this deal could be done, but he was still a little bit unwilling, after all, he gave away more than 8 million just now, and only got back 300,000. Ten thousand dollars, he felt too lazy to take it back, pointing to the NSV machine gun and said, "I don't want money, so give me three more weapons."

What a... honest African big brother.

Tang Dao even felt a trace of guilt in his heart. Is it really okay to deceive idiots like this?

"No, no, general." He looked serious. "I cherish our friendship very much. I can give you two more. May God bless Mogadishu and may He bless Somalia."

Aidede was overjoyed when he heard this, and gave Tang Dao a hug, and said sincerely, "You are my best friend, sir."

The stench on his body almost killed Tang Dao, his stomach felt a little unwell, his face was flushed, he raised his hand slightly, and forced out a sentence, "Yes, we are friends, very good friends."

Satisfied, Aidid took the guards and pulled the equipment and left. In order to make room for a cart to pull weapons, the soldiers were still running below. Even if they didn't sigh, it was clear that their morale was not high.

"May God bless you, so that I can earn more money from you, Amen." Tang Dao pretended to hold his fists together and prayed for a minute, then shook his hands and looked back at Robert and the others with an uncontrollable expression on his face. Happy.

"Guys, it's time for us to give Africa a voice!"
