The dirt road was filled with choking dust.
This was caused by six trucks on the N9 national highway. The trucks were piled high with goods and the smell of tobacco leaves could not be hidden. This also declared that this fleet was very valuable.
Someone will definitely spy on valuable things. This is an unchanging truth on the African continent. However, the muscular man in the car was very alert. The bulge on his waist clearly showed that he was carrying a weapon.
"Amadi, where are you now?"
Coppet, who had just woken up in the cab, asked his friend and driver.
"Master Kopet, we have just passed Matema and are only over 30 kilometers away from Tete."
"It seems that I will see Kalam soon. This time I must let him take me to have fun in Tete. I stayed for a few days before leaving. This time I must have enough fun."
"But the old chief didn't tell you to calm down and stop causing trouble everywhere."
"Just know what my father said. The old man is really confused. I beat Sampa, the son of the chief of the Tukabka tribe, because he provoked me first. This bastard owed it to me to discipline him for his father. To prevent him from being outside. Offend the people you can’t afford to offend and bring bad luck to their tribe.”
Amadi simply rolled his eyes at the young chief's words. Don't hit you so harshly if someone owes you something. Your legs are broken. Why don't others ask the old chief for an explanation?
An hour later the tobacco convoy entered Tete.
After wandering around Tete, we stopped at the yard of a two-story building.
"Amadi, I'm leaving."
"Okay, Master Coppet."
Coppert walked over with a change of clothes on his back, holding his head high.
At this time, Amadi was reading an English version of Selected Works of Mao Zedong. This was given to him by Peng Gang. Because the other person had just started learning Chinese, but he knew English, he gave him an English version first.
As for this book, Amadi has always cherished it. Not only did he wrap the cover, but he also paid great attention to it when reading it. Suddenly a familiar voice came from outside the yard.
"Amadi, Amadi, your best cousin is here, why don't you come out to greet him."
"Copet, why is he here?"
Amadi is very familiar with his cousin. When they were young, the two would go up trees to catch birds and go down rivers to catch fish. They even stole his mother's money to buy ice cream together, but were beaten and exported after being discovered. Anyway, they both did the same thing as naughty kids.
"Of course I miss you and my aunt and uncle."
"So how long will you stay this time?"
Amadi didn't believe his cousin's words. He knew him too well. He must have gotten into trouble if he came without saying hello.
Faced with Amadi's inquiry, Coppet said without confidence. "I don't know, it might take a few months!"
"It seems that you got into trouble, and this time it was a big one."
"What does it mean to get into trouble? Isn't it just beating Sampa, the son of the chief of the Kabka tribe? That kid is so arrogant that he dares to compete with me. I beat him to prevent him from getting into trouble."
"Why come here to beat someone and stay there for so long?"
Amadi was very confused about this. When did fighting become so serious in the Gopata area, let alone his brother who was like a demon king.
"The hit was a bit hard and I accidentally broke his legs."
Faced with Amadi's inquiry, Kopet's cousin felt a bit lacking in confidence.
Faced with Coppet's words, Amadi showed an expression like "I knew it would be like this."
"No, you actually dare to trick me. You damn guy is rebelling against me."
At this time, Coppet stretched out his two big arms and tried to catch Amadi, but Amadi had already been alert and ran away.
"What's this?"
During the fight, the two came to Amadi's bedroom. At this time, Kopeko suddenly saw a different book, because the red cover of the book had the mark of a sickle and a hammer.
Of course Coppet knew what this logo was, and then said in surprise. "You actually read books about communism?"
"Because only communism can save Mozambique."
Faced with his cousin's words, Amadi gave an explanation.
"Stop it, Amadi. Mozambique and we in Zambia have gone through communism and now we see it, that's it."
It was clear that Koppett did not believe that communism was some panacea that could save the country.
"No, Cousin Kopet, the communism the tutor said is completely different from the FRELIMO Party. They just wear the skin of communism but make money for themselves. The tutor once said, you can't look at what the other party says. It depends on what the other party does. In addition, the instructor also analyzed for us why these ruling parties failed. It was because they did not implement true communism for their own interests."
Having said this, Amadi glanced at his cousin and said. "A true Communist Party member needs to have justice in his heart, serve the people wholeheartedly, and think about the people all the time. Which political party do you think has done this?"
Faced with his cousin's question, Coppet shook his head. "Although some people have done it, the political parties have not done it."
"That's the reason. Because they don't have the people in mind, they do things based on their own interests. How can they develop the country with this approach?"
Faced with Amadi's words, Amadi remained silent because he knew that Amadi was telling the truth. But it is a bit difficult to get people to have a favorable impression of communism, because the wave of communism in Africa in the 1960s and 1970s has been extinguished, so it is not convincing.
"I'll go and see if your mentor is as sincere as you say about communism."
Peng Gang, who was discussed by Amadi and Coppet, was doing a business at this time.
"Bowadi, this is a 1.5-cubic-meter medium-sized excavator produced by Liugong. Although it is no longer brand new, it can still perform excavation work. Not only will I guarantee you one year of maintenance, but I will also provide your employees with For one month of training, you only need 32,000 US dollars. Not only can you get an excavator, but you can also make your employees familiar with these machines. If it weren't for our friendship, I would have charged him at least 35,000 US dollars for others. "
At this time, Peng Gang did not have the demeanor of a mentor and was promoting his products to his major customers. Bwadi is a customer he met last year. This is a big businessman in Malawi. He buys second-hand clothes by the ton. He buys not only clothes, but also a series of products such as electrical appliances and cars. Every time The purchase volume is hundreds of thousands of dollars. It can be regarded as the top ten major customers in Peng Gang's hands.
This time, Bowadi came because he received a road project from the government, so he wanted to buy some road construction equipment. Road construction equipment is not cheap, such as excavators, bulldozers, scrapers, graders, loaders, etc. machine. This is at least a million-dollar business. Of course, Peng Gang can't disappoint his big customers, so he prepares all decent second-hand goods.
"Let's see, I'll buy 5 excavators, 6 bulldozers, 4 scrapers, 3 graders, 12 loaders, plus 20 tons of second-hand clothes, and motors..."
Burwadi directly bought 1.374 million worth of goods during this trip. "Let's do this. I'll pay US$1.2 million for these goods. If you agree, I'll make the payment."
Good guy, I cut off 174,000 US dollars in one breath. It was as if the knife was in place and cut hard.
"The price you gave me is too low. I can't even make back the shipping cost. Let's do this. I'll take a loss of 1.3 million US dollars and you can just take it away."
"1.21 million."
"1.29 million"
After some bargaining, Bwadi finally bought the goods for 1.25 million. This transaction can account for Peng Gang's largest order this year, and it is also the fourth largest order Peng Gang has encountered. The profit after deducting various expenses alone is 300,000, and the profit from second-hand goods is not at all. Low.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that the second-hand machines Peng Gang bought from China were never too shabby. There were still 3,000 nails in the rotten ship, not to mention those machines. Each machine was dismantled and complemented each other, and with the maintenance experts hired by Peng Gang, the second-hand machines sold by Peng Gang had a good reputation.
After reaching the contract, they were waiting for Bowadi to make the payment. At this time, after hearing Bowadi making an operation on the phone, Peng Gang had an extra US$1.25 million in his Swiss bank.
After finishing the payment, Bwadi extended an invitation to Peng Gang. "Peng, how about we go have a drink at Paris Night?"
"No problem, this time your spending on the night in Paris is mine."
"Peng, I have long said that you are my best business partner. We will not go home until we are drunk tonight."
"No problem. You go to Paris Night and wait for me. I'll be there in a minute."
After letting Bwadi leave first, Peng Gang called the maintenance team leader Carvajal. I saw him counting a stack of banknotes and handing them to the other party. "This is a reward from your maintenance team. The sale of these machines this time is all due to your maintenance."
"Thank you, sir."
Carvajal took a stack of banknotes that looked like 2 million meticals and put them in his pocket with satisfaction. Although he still needs to share it with the maintenance staff, the 800,000 yuan belongs to him because he is the most skilled maintenance man. If he cannot repair things, no one in Tete can repair them.
This is why his salary is also the highest, reaching a monthly salary of 1 million meticais. With bonuses and other bonuses, he can usually get 1.3-1.5 million meticais a month. This is in the very wealthy class of Te Te, but he has to support four wives and twelve children, which can also keep the Carvajal family in the middle class.
Except for the maintenance team, other employees receive more or less rewards, and these rewards are not much, usually 5,000-50,000 meticais. Even so, nearly a hundred employees cheered with singing and dancing.
Peng Gang's behavior of throwing away money made employees very supportive of him.
