It can be said that a political storm jointly set off by the CIA, Shadow Company, and the Columbian News Agency inexplicably started in Colombia.
Of course, there are only a few signs of this storm now. Everyone is still busy carving up high-quality assets, and when the carving is completed, the forces that have not eaten the meat will continue to add fuel to the flames and try to dig out some good things from others!
"So, save the country through industry!"
"Do you believe this yourself?"
"Why don't you believe it? What I said is right!"
Shepard looked at Parker sitting next to him and shrugged indifferently.
The latter silently patted his shoulder hard, making a dull sound.
After all, Shadow Company has left a lot of hard work and even blood in Columbia. Therefore, for Shepard, there is no problem in treating this place as his second hometown. He has no problem with it. Another shortcoming is that he likes to give back to his hometown, so when the Shadow Company suppressed Los Pepes, Shepard did not forget to give some help to his hometown.
Parker's trip was to conduct a round of preferential acquisitions of Medellin's old assets, including high-quality coffee and banana plantations, emerald mines, oil fields and gas wells, etc.
In particular, Colombia's emerald mines have the largest reserves in the world. More than half of the world's emeralds come from Colombia. In addition, Colombia is also rich in coal and nickel resources, coupled with its already abundant oil, it can be said that, If everything goes well, then there will definitely be no problem for Colombia to develop into a wealthy country!
But the problem lies in the unstable international and domestic situation, acute class conflicts, and uneven distribution of resources. Therefore, Colombia's road to prosperity is still far away.
However, the current situation allows Shepard to get rich first, so that he can lead some Colombians to get rich together. But whether the Colombians believe it or not, Shepard believes it anyway.
Even the assets to be acquired were personally confirmed by him, including four excellent plantations for growing Arabica coffee beans and seven banana orchards. These plantations are almost all intact, with ready-made employees and ready-made equipment. , the upstream and downstream industrial chains are the same, and even the most upstream stable supply channels are ready-made. To put it bluntly, as long as Shepard invests 1.8 million, he can pack up all the banana orchards and take them away. He doesn't even need to do anything, he just needs to arrange a manager, and then he can sit back and wait to collect the money.
As for the coffee gardens, it’s the same, except that the harvest season has passed now, so if you want to drink fresh, hot, home-grown coffee, you have to wait until next year!
There are some problems in those mines. They are short of equipment and personnel. However, the reserves are quite abundant, at least more than 10,000 tons, and the mining difficulty is not high.
But even so, Shepard was not prepared to spend more money!
"Why buy it when you can rob it? I worked so hard to get so many brothers and guns just to save money, and now you ask me to pay for it? So what do I do with all these brothers and guns?"
However, U.S. capital is also a sensitive topic in Latin America. This is not to say that it is forbidden, but that in Latin American countries that have been held captive by the United States for decades, U.S. capital will have a little bit of villainous connotation. Once a coup occurs in a certain country , then the first thing that will go wrong is the US-funded enterprises in this country, such as Nicaragua.
Under the rule of the famous dictator Tacho, Nicaragua's assets were fully opened to the United States. The result was that all local companies were wiped out by big capital. Without healthy local companies, economic development would naturally be impossible. , people have no money, so they can only think of other ways, such as rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, after all, the only life left for the poor is this, so why not fight for it?
After Tacho's death, Nicaragua established a new regime and then took back a large number of industries monopolized by foreign capital in order to save the domestic collapsed economy.
Although the situation in Colombia is much better than that of Nicaragua, Shepard does not dare to bet. After all, it has only been a few years since the Batista regime in Cuba was overthrown, and Castro is still looking at the vigorous competition in Latin America. Where is the land!
Therefore, Shepard wisely chose to leave the acquired assets.
As for the joint venture routine, Ninelle, as a local native, introduced some businessmen to Shepard who were smart and capable but had no money in their pockets. One was familiar with the local situation, and the other had money in his pocket. We all hit it off, you contribute and I contribute the money. 30/70 split, happy cooperation!
Thirty-seven percent is actually a big concession for Shepard. After all, these days, the best standard for those with guns and cannons is 91 percent, and there are many people who get 100% of it in their own pockets. After all, in these big cities From the capitalist's point of view, if you give me a job, that's a blessing from me. If I don't charge you, then forget it. How dare you raise your salary from me? Do you know what a black hand is?
Because of this, the labor relations in Latin America were once quite tense. After all, when it comes to being inappropriate, they are really inappropriate, and Shepard naturally hates this kind of behavior. He likes this sentence very much, keep enough bosses, You pay enough to the company, and the rest is your own. Sustainable development is the best. The kind of people who want to scrape the land clean in one wave. Why, are they afraid that they will not live for a few years, so they want to eat fast food?
Therefore, during the cooperation, Shepard chose not to interfere as much as possible. After all, he had a lot to do, so he wanted to focus on the military!
Of course, being sincere does not mean that Shepard is wronged. Parker has a professional economic team in his hands. They will ensure the company's honest operation and ensure that the partners are really working and not taking Shepard's money. Spend indiscriminately.
Shepard temporarily believed that this group of people did not have the courage, but if someone really dared to do this, then he would actually be happy to imitate a certain despicable person in Chile, that is, Pinochet, the famous commander-in-chief of the military government!
He himself will send car bombs and helicopter high-altitude missiles to the domestic opposition according to their camp affiliation!
And these local partners also know very clearly who their sponsors are. Even if they don't know, they will know who the other party is by looking at the armed helicopters parked in the manor and the heavily armed PCs!
There are not many people who dare to be so arrogant in Colombia these days. The one who was so arrogant before was called Pablo, and he was beaten to death by Shadow Company!
Therefore, the local partners are naturally very fond of Shepard, who can make everyone rich together!
