After returning to Comoros, Shepard immediately asked the guards to call Osaba over. As one of the first batch of Congolese uncles who followed Shepard, Osaba has done well in recent years.
Instead of being so ambitious and joining the fighting force to receive a high salary, he was just hanging around in the logistics department like a loser. As a result, Uncle Black, who was in the same batch with him, was dead and injured, but he was the only one who was still alive and kicking, even in Como. A small black market was also opened in Luo's Shadow Company camp.
When he learned that the boss wanted to see him, Osaba's legs went weak and he almost knelt down. He thought he was running a black market and secretly selling the scraps eliminated by the company. He was discovered, so he came to Shepard with trepidation. When I entered the office, I realized that I seemed to have made a mistake.
"Do you know Somalia?"
"ha?"
Osaba raised his eyebrows, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.
"I know a little bit about Somalia. I was defeated in the war before. Is there any problem?"
"Yes, look at this again!"
Shepard took out another Italian newspaper, which reported on the pirate robberies of the freighter that Shepard and the Italian businessman were talking about in Naples.
Because the pirates in Somalia have not yet formed a climate and have not carried out industrial upgrading. They are still in a state of eating whatever they can. Therefore, the sporadic pirate robberies have not attracted much attention at all, and even the newspapers only treated them in a joking tone. Mentioned a few words.
As one of the rare smart people, Osaba understood what Shepard meant the moment he saw the newspaper.
"You want me to go to Somalia?"
"right!"
"But I don't know the local dialect!"
"It's okay. It's also a former British colony over there. It's enough for you to know English!"
"Then what am I going to do there?"
"What do you think I want you to do by calling you here?"
"It's impossible to say this kind of thing!"
Osaba is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, but it is precisely because of this that Shepard chose him to be responsible for his plan to conquer the fire.
But here's the problem. There are so many cargo ships passing through the Gulf of Aden, but none of them can be offended by him. What if something happens?
"Then don't let anything happen. I didn't ask you to become the most pirate. I just want you to use your brain!"
"Why don't you let me find a way to do something?"
"You can get fifty of the profit!"
Shepard took a sip of coffee and said calmly.
Immediately, Osaba's breathing became much heavier.
He has looked away from his life. He lives for no other reason than to live a happy life for himself. Although his life in Shadow Company is stable, his income is really not that high. His three wives and seven children are waiting for him in his hometown. He thought of a way to send his family to Europe to live a better life, which required more money, so he was moved!
"I'm not sure I can do this!"
"Don't worry, you don't need to be good at what you do. There's not much else in Somalia, but there are a lot of talents. You just need to show your prominence there, and there will naturally be countless successors!"
"I understand, but in what capacity am I rooted there?"
Shepard took out a certificate produced by the Comoros government and threw it to the other party.
"A businessman with some hard goods!"
Osaba read the certificate, nodded immediately, and then said.
"I understand, but if something goes wrong, you will silence me without mercy!"
"It depends on what problem you have, and I'm sure you'll handle it!"
Shepard's meaning is also very clear. Whether he will silence or not depends on Osaba's mouth. If something happens, if one person does the work and the other person takes the responsibility, then not only will there be no problem, Shepard will also find ways to get people. But if you talk nonsense, more than one person will die!
"I understand, then, do you have anything else to explain?"
"There's nothing to explain, just be careful!"
After Shepard told him what to pay attention to, Osaba immediately left Comoros quietly. He did not go directly to Somalia. Instead, he went around in a circle first and made his mark in the South African arms market. , and then transferred to Kenya, and then took a car and entered Somalia.
Relying on a smart phone and the ability to observe people's emotions, Osaba quickly opened a grocery store in the slums of Mogadishu.
Because of Shepard's financial support and his good business skills, Osaba quickly became prosperous in the slums. ap.
Then, Shepard sent him a few black men to help Osaba deal with several local gangs, and he himself was able to take root in Mogadishu.
Because the goods sold are of high quality and low price, and Osaba is always available to help nearby residents deal with various problems and disputes. In less than half a year, Osaba has established a solid and reliable image among the slum residents.
Even the elders of the local tribe regard this outsider as a distinguished guest. After all, Somalia is currently in internal and external troubles due to losing the war. Although the country still looks intact, in fact, the head of state, Siad, has been lost. With regard to the control of the country at the grassroots level, the government has been corrupted, and the military has begun to become warlords. The unstable society is like a heating oil pot that is gathering strength little by little.
Therefore, a channel that can bring stable supplies to the community is extremely valuable. Even less than three months after Osaba arrived here, a matchmaker tried to persuade him to marry him.
This fact made Osaba dumbfounded. He did not come here to find a wife!
After settling down in the community, Osaba immediately began to interact with local young people. On the surface, he acted as a close brother and listened to these unemployed young people vent their sufferings, but in fact, Osaba subtly instilled in these young people The principle of finding wealth in danger.
The young man, who had never read a book at all, was immediately excited by Osaba's few words. He was eager to find a chance to show off his skills. Then, a dozen people drove a fishing boat out to sea at night, and waited until the next day to tie him up. An unlucky guy from the next door community came back, dragging his fishing boat with him, and very arrogantly asked for 100,000 shillings!
Perhaps frightened by the arrogance, the kidnapped unfortunate man's family obediently paid the ransom the next day. After receiving the money, a group of young people kept their promise and released the man and the boat.
Then they gathered together in Osaba's grocery store and happily began to share the spoils, and agreed to continue doing so next time.
And Osaba looked at several guys with proud faces. Then he shook his head.
"Why are you kidnapping our own people? Ethiopians are much richer than us. Wouldn't it be possible to avenge the country and fill your own wallets by tying them up?"
