809: Chapter 800 Busy 809: Chapter 800 Busy Morgan was hoping to receive good news, and Gao Yang never let anyone down.
“The thing is, Morgan, I’m calling you because I want to make a deal with you, um, a big deal, actually.”
Morgan immediately perked up.
Although he had been feeling uneasy lately due to a very significant shotgun, Morgan was a businessman through and through, dedicated to his profession, and the prospect of a big deal definitely qualified as good news.
“Haha, I knew you wouldn’t let me down.
I apologize once again, so let’s hear it, what kind of deal is it?”
“Diamonds, to be precise, a diamond mine, with a large output and high quality.
It’s virgin territory, just discovered.
Put it this way, it’s like the Kimberley Mine in South Africa when it was first uncovered.
Currently, the diamonds being mined are alluvial, but I think I’ve located the primary deposit.”
“Diamonds?
I’m not too familiar with that, but it’s an industry known for huge profits.
Tell me more about it in detail.”
“The situation is quite complicated.
The mine has been discovered already, and there are troops stationed nearby, Sudanese troops.
But not many people know about the mine yet, and those Sudanese troops rely on raiding villages and plundering slaves to get labor for mining diamonds.”
Morgan suddenly said, “So, you mean blood diamonds?
If the mine has already been discovered, the situation could be a bit complicated, but, if the profits are sufficient, I don’t think that’s too much of a problem.
Keep talking.”
After thinking for a moment, Gao Yang said, “It’s very complicated and not convenient to discuss over the phone, so I think it’s better to meet in person, ah, and you can also check out what I’ve found.
You’d better find an expert who understands diamonds to appraise my finds.
That way we will know the true value of the mines here.
The problem now is that an officer who was exploiting the mine has been killed by me, not a threat anymore, but the Depp Group, which was buying diamonds from that officer, is said to be based in Antwerp and mainly active in South Africa.
I think only this group could pose a threat to us.
Could you look into Depp Group’s background for starters?”
After hearing Gao Yang’s words, Morgan immediately called out loudly, “Nelson!
Nelson!
Come in, I’m awake, go check out the Depp Group, headquartered in Antwerp, mainly active in South Africa.
Gao, any other information?”
Nelson was Morgan’s assistant.
Morgan didn’t hesitate to call out for the assistant, not avoiding Gao Yang, and upon hearing Morgan’s last question, Gao Yang said in a solemn voice, “It’s said to be a big jewelry conglomerate, but I don’t have any more information than that.”
“Okay, just hold on a moment.
I’ll look into the Depp Group’s details.
So, Gao, how do you plan to mine the diamonds, blood diamonds or the regular way?”
Gao Yang gave a wry smile and said, “I don’t know, Morgan.
How we mine depends on your judgment.”
Without any hesitation, Morgan said, “We go for short-term mining.
This stuff is highly profitable, but if we mine in the regular way, the investment is too large, and it’s too conspicuous.
If possible, let’s mine as many diamonds as we can in the shortest time possible.
If all goes well, we can make hundreds of millions of US dollars in just a few months.”
Gao Yang laughed, “That’s what I was hoping for too, but I might not be able to meet with you right away.
I have to make arrangements for the Akuri tribe first.
Morgan, you’ll have to help me out here.
Can you find a place to temporarily relocate the Akuri tribe?”
“You found them?
Oh, congratulations Gao, I know you must be over the moon right now, send my greetings to the Chieftain and all.
So, where do you want to relocate them?”
Gao Yang said with considerable anxiety, “I need to find a place that can shelter them long term, but before that, I need a place that’s secure enough and also allows them to avoid being disturbed by others.
The Akuri people have always been isolated from the world, and their immune systems, if exposed too frequently to others, could suffer severe consequences.
So, if possible, I would still prefer to place them on the grasslands.”
Morgan agreed promptly, “Do you want to relocate them to my oil field?”
“Exactly, that too is grassland, albeit with nomadic tribes, but it’s vast enough.
The Akuri tribe could live there as they used to.
I’ll arrange for them to be vaccinated, which might take about three to five years to build up a robust immune system.
After that, I’ll move them somewhere else.”
Morgan laughed and said, “Wow, your plan is really ambitious, but of course I have no problem here.
Do you think this will work?
Have the Akuri tribe settle down near the campsite, not too far away but at a safe distance.
I could arrange for someone to keep an eye on them.
They’d be well taken care of in case of any issues.”
Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, “Having someone specifically take care of them is a hassle but it’s the safest method.
You don’t need to find someone for me, I’ll arrange for a person to take care of them.
However, the person I arrange will need to stay in your oil camp, and, if the Akuri tribe encounters any danger, your men will have to help.”
“That’s fine, as long as I haven’t sold my oil field, you can let the Akuri tribe stay there without any problems.
So when will your guy be in place?
I’ll notify my people to arrange a place immediately.
Just give me a call before your person arrives.”
Gao Yang couldn’t set a precise time and, after pondering for a moment, he said, “It might take a few more days.
I still have some things to sort out.
Once I have everything arranged here, I’ll come and meet you.
So, shall we leave it at that for now?”
There was just too much to do.
After hanging up the call to Morgan, Gao Yang flipped through his contacts and dialed Glolov, but the call didn’t go through at all.
Ever since the whole Satan Mercenary Corps went to Israel ahead of time, everyone’s phones were switched off.
Gao Yang could only call Destin, and Destin answered the phone rather quickly.
After Destin picked up, Gao Yang said with a laugh, “Destin, if it’s late at night there, then I apologize for calling you in the middle of the night.
Um, I’m not quite clear on the time difference.”
Destin practically roared, “It’s two in the morning now, I know you’re in South Sudan, and we’re on practically the same longitude!
So don’t give me that excuse about not knowing the time difference.
Do mercenaries always enjoy dragging people out of bed at night?”
Gao Yang laughed and said, “Well, sorry for dragging you out of bed then.
I just wanted to ask how the training is going and how Toad’s psychological state is?
Hmm, Satan has got a new guy, you must have met him already, right?
Tell me how that fellow is doing.”
After a sly smile, Destin said, “Do you know why I’m so angry?
Because I had just fallen asleep.
So, do you know why I had only just fallen asleep?
Because I’ve been personally training your men, and now you’ve woken me up.
So, I think I can drag the guys who are also finally getting a chance to rest out of bed again.”
Gao Yang felt embarrassed as his single phone call seemed to have made life harder for Glolov and the others.
If Destin couldn’t sleep, then those under his training were going to get even less sleep.
As Gao Yang silently mourned for those he had inadvertently distressed with his call, Destin chuckled and said, “Regarding the training, you know the standard of my camp.
All training is carried out at the highest level.
You’re lucky you’re not here yet.
As for Toad, how should I put it?
The injury on his leg hasn’t completely healed, burns are troublesome, but he’s recovering well.
However, Toad’s psychological state is not very stable.
He’s not yet able to undergo intense training with others, but I’ve arranged some training content that won’t give him the time to feel sad.
He simply doesn’t have the time and energy to feel sorry for himself anymore.”
After taking a deep breath, Gao Yang continued, “So, how is our new member performing?”
Gao Yang was still very concerned about how Andy He was integrating with the others.
Andy He had already met with Glolov and the others before heading directly to the training camp in Israel.
Although Gao Yang had had some interaction with Andy He concerning medical aspects and had no worries there, he hadn’t yet seen Andy He in actual combat, so Gao Yang was unsure about Andy He’s combat abilities.
After a moment of silence, Destin sighed and said, “Gao, listen to me.
The Satan Mercenary Corps is already a team with a good understanding amongst its members.
All of you have weaknesses not like the real Special Forces, where you won’t find members with clear weaknesses.
However, the members of the Satan Mercenary Corps also have their particular strengths.
The strengths and weaknesses of such a team are equally pronounced, which makes them not quite suitable for the military.
But when your people formed a team, they unexpectedly made up for each other’s weaknesses.
Separately, they all have shortcomings, but together, they’re like a monster with no weaknesses.”
“You’re praising Satan so much that it gives me an uneasy feeling.
What exactly are you trying to say?”
Destin chuckled and said, “I’m just feeling a bit sentimental.
Since the last time we fought together in Mexico, it seems Frey and Rabbit have improved a lot.
It hasn’t been that long since I last saw them, and after several new members joined your group, your strength has become even more formidable.
You’ve formed a highly complementary and mature team.
Personally, I wouldn’t take the risk of adding a new member to a well-coordinated and mature team…”
Feeling a tightening in his chest, Gao Yang said, “What do you mean?
Are you saying that Andy He isn’t suitable for Satan?”
Destin exhaled and said, “How on earth did you gather such a bunch of monsters together?
Where did you find that Andy He?
What I’m trying to say is, his performance is too good, be it as a military medic or as an infantryman.
That guy is surprisingly good, and the speed at which he’s fitting in with Satan is also amazing.
Where in the world did you pick up such a treasure?” (To be continued.
