Country X was actually an independent island near North Africa. There was only one bridge that connected it with the outside world which allowed cars to pass through. Of course, one could also come in through the water route.
In the earliest years, dating back to the 1960s, a rich man rented this independent African island as his private territory with ten thousand black slaves working for him.
After the liberation of the black slaves, the blacks on the island united, overthrew the rule of the rich slave owners and formed a temporary state of their own. However, as time went by, the island had stationed a number of other forces and established its own temporary political power here.
In other words, Country X was originally a rented land, but for historical reasons, it had formed an independent country. Although the rental fee had not been paid for more than ten years, the local management department had also acquiesced to this fact.
Yang Ming knew all this through Old Buffon’s investigation. It could be said that these were already some ancient stories. Nowadays, few people knew these details.


Unless there was a person like General Kars, one could not get in touch with some of the secrets within it.
However, Old Buffon actually found the local management department in Africa to invest in the island where Country X was located! The local management department was naturally delighted with the money sent to his door! This was simply like a free lunch. Although they owned the land of Country X on paper, it was in trusteeship for more than ten years.
Therefore, the local management department had shown great enthusiasm for someone to buy this land! However, when they investigated the Old Buffon’s background, they were not delighted!
If it were someone else who wanted to buy this land, they would naturally be happy to sell it. But for Old Buffon, no!
For this piece of land, although the local administration had ownership on paper, they had no sovereignty over it. If it were ordinary people, after they sold it, they could completely shirk any responsibility and let the buyer retrieve the land themselves. As for whether they could retrieve it, it was not their business.
As the person selling you the land, in regards to what is on the land, how can that person be responsible for helping you to expel them? However, Old Buffon was not an ordinary person. Africa was close to Europe. With just some inquiries, one could find out about the identity of Old Buffon. This person was not someone who could be provoked casually.
Therefore, the local management department was somewhat troubled. If they did not sell it, they would lose a fortune in vain. If they sold it, they were afraid that Old Buffon would look for trouble from them.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, the local management department felt that it was necessary to explain the situation to Old Buffon. After all, for a person like Old Buffon with such a status, they really could not afford to offend him.
The person in charge of this matter was Jason, a Caucasian official. When Old Buffon came over, he gave a warm welcome.
Since it was Yang Ming’s matter, Old Buffon didn’t want others to do it. It would seem that he was not sincere enough, so he personally came over to negotiate this matter.



Patriarch Old Buffon, hello. If you want to buy land here, we naturally welcome you a lot…
Jason couldn’t offend Old Buffon, so his tone was also polite.
However, near this island, there are still many isolated islands. Although they are not as big as Country X, they are still considered not bad. Do you want to pick other islands?

Old Buffon immediately waved his hand.
No, no! I want Country X, this land. Why? You don’t want to sell it?


It is not that I don’t want to sell… but Mr. Buffon, you may not know much… Country X’s land, although it belongs to us on paper, it has been under trusteeship for more than ten years. Hence, even if we signed the agreement, we can’t guarantee that you can successfully retrieve Country X’s land…
Jason explained.

 Hehe 
, I see!
Regarding the current situation in Country X, Old Buffon had already gotten news from Yang Ming. Otherwise, what was the use for him to buy Country X’s land? Did he have nothing better to do? Was Old Buffon short of property? There was no need to go so far to buy a war-torn island. Was he out of his mind!?

Yeah, Patriarch Buffon, because of this, I can’t scam you, so I have to tell you everything.
Jason said,
I’d advise you to buy another island.


 Hehe 
, you don’t need to care about that. When I buy this place, naturally, I have a purpose. Just tell me the price!
Old Buffon shook his head and smiled.

This…
Jason was a bit dumbfounded. He didn’t know Old Buffon’s intention. Is he still buying despite the situation?

However, since Old Buffon insisted, and the situation was also explained, then Jason could not be helped. He gave a very low price symbolically since this land did not belong to them. At this moment, this money came for free no matter what. It was a profit in any amount.
As a result, Old Buffon received the permanent use of the Country X land at an extremely low price. At this point, Country X had legal status in the international arena. Although it could not exist completely as a country, it could exist as a private territory.
Old Buffon had already given the legal procedure to Li Qiang. This time, Yang Ming came to Country X and brought the legal procedure.


The minibus slowly entered the territory of Country X. At the border, the heavily guarded soldiers were conducting a detailed investigation of the passing vehicles. However, when they arrived at Yang Ming’s vehicle, they saw that Li Qiang was driving. All the soldiers showed a respectful expression suddenly, watching Li Qiang’s minibus driving away.
Even though this little detail was not a big deal, it touched the hearts of Zhang Jingyao and Huang Xiaofei! They did not know that these soldiers knew Li Qiang. They felt that the respect of these soldiers was due to the pass in front of the vehicle.
Although the passing vehicles had special passes, the attitude was different from that of Li Qiang’s minibus. Other cars could only pass through after verification. Only Li Qiang’s vehicle could pass through smoothly.
It was proof that Li Qiang had an outstanding status in Country X. He was also a popular figure. Were those people, who could have a special pass more powerful than normal passes, average?
However, with only that, they still did not think that General Kars would see Yang Ming and Li Qiang in person.
……
When they saw that there were special passes on all the vehicles in Country X, Li Tianjia and Li Zhichun knew that this pass was not badss. As they entered Country X, detailed inspections and inquiries were also carried out on Li Zhichun and Li Tianjia. Only after learning that they came to invest in gold mines, were they released.

Tianyu, this pass seems to be on every car?
Li Tianjia frowned without batting an eyelid.

 Ugh 
…
Li Tianyu’s face turned red after Li Tianjia’s comment. Although Li Tianjia’s tone was very dull, Li Tianyu felt that Li Tianjia was against him and wanted to make him lose his face in front of his father.
Only people who do business here can have it. Ordinary people can’t have it!


 Oh 
…
Li Tianjia nodded.


Li Zhichun also knew that his two sons could still unite in big matters, but they were always fighting over small issues. This was irrelevant, but it was taken up as a matter of derision.

Well, let us not talk about this. Tianyu, what happened to the iron mine?
Li Zhichun asked.

I have not seen the top person in charge of the military here. The situation is still tough to say. I think we should visit General Kars first. From a private point of view and a commercial point of view, it must be done.
Li Tianyu said with a very knowledgeable look.

 En 
, that’s true.
Li Zhichun nodded.
This time, we have to visit General Kars for sure.

Li Zhichun was still supportive of Li Tianyu’s point of view, so he agreed on the spot.

Tianyu, how big is the hope of our bidding this time?
Li Tianjia also threw away his envy of his younger brother and talked about business.
Before, Li Tianjia did not put Li Tianyu’s Africa career in his eyes. It was just a small iron mine. Although there were still interests, compared with the family business in Singapore, it was still far worse after all.
However, for the re-bidding this time, the Li Family might get a gold mine or even a diamond mine, and the benefits far exceeded the family’s fundamental business. As a result, the father’s emphasis on Africa’s business was undoubtedly greater than the domestic. Li Tianjia also began to be jealous of Li Tianyu.
Originally, he was able to sit firmly in the position as the Li Family’s heir, but at the moment, his position weakened.

The official open documents said that this time we must compete fairly, but this thing, I think it is an article on paper. Whoever has the connections can get the mines.
Li Tianyu had insider analysis. At this point now, he wanted to establish his own authority and image in front of his father.



 En 
, this is true.
Li Zhichun also strongly agreed with Li Tianyu’s words.
We are visiting General Kars just to ask about the inside story of this bid. So, I will call General Kars first and contact him. If it is possible, let us visit him in a while!

Li Tianjia and Li Tianyu nodded in agreement. Li Zhichun picked up the phone and dialed the phone number of General Kars’ office. After the call was connected, it was the voice of General Kars’ secretary,
Hello, this is the Kars government office.


Hello, I am Li Zhichun of the Li Family in Singapore. Can I trouble you to transfer the call to General Kars?
Li Zhichun said respectfully.

General Kars is going to visit a very important guest. He isn’t here at the moment. Do you have anything issues?
asked the secretary.
