Chapter 316 - Chapter 477: The Ambitious Man: Ridman

Tanzania, Mute City.Zou Weiqi stood at the port, looking around, waiting for someone to appear. He was a Chinese-Tanzanian who grew up here. Due to his family background, he learned Chinese, English, and the local Portuguese from a young age.After growing up, he became a guide here.Because of his language advantage, his life here was quite good.Especially in recent years, there have been many tourists visiting here. He is proficient in three languages, can communicate fluently, and is very familiar with the local cultural environment, so his income is very substantial.Someone contacted him the day before yesterday to hire him as a guide, and the pay was not low, so he came to the port early this morning to wait.Suddenly, two Chinese men in suits emerged from the port. Zou Weiqi perked up, immediately fixed his smile, and went up to greet them: "Are you Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhong?""Yes." Wang Hai nodded and took a look at Zou Weiqi. They had seen Zou Weiqi's profile and knew he was the guide they had arranged."Let me introduce myself. My name is Zou Weiqi, and I should be the guide you arranged." Zou Weiqi extended his hand, shook hands with Wang Hai and Zhong Lei, and wore a full smile.As a guide, he had seen countless people from all over the world. These two men gave him a very special feeling; they were definitely extraordinary big shots."Hello, Guide Zou." Wang Hai said."I wonder what your travel plans are?" Zou Weiqi asked."We are here to open a factory. Please take us to this place and introduce the surrounding environment." Wang Hai handed him an address.The address was for the piece of land that Zhao Min purchased from Tanzania for the construction of an arsenal base. In two days, when the official Tanzanian approval came down, they would start building the factory.At that time, a domestic construction company would handle the construction, but they also had to come and understand the environmental situation. An arsenal is a very sensitive enterprise. He and Zhong Lei discussed forming an armed security team before the factory was built to ensure the factory's smooth operation; after all, the security situation here was not that peaceful."Alright, alright, alright, bosses, please follow me." Zou Weiqi nodded hurriedly. So they were big bosses investing in a factory; no wonder. Thinking of this, Zou Weiqi became even more enthusiastic.Wang Hai and Zhong Lei exchanged a look, put away their suitcases, and boarded Zou Weiqi's vehicle."This location is not far from the port. Is it convenient for you to say what kind of business you are doing? I have some understanding of the environment here, and perhaps I can offer a suggestion or two.""Producing some small machinery, mainly for export." Zhong Lei said."Oh, I see, I see." Zou Weiqi looked like he understood. He said: "There is a lot of labor in Tanzania, and it is very cheap. Foreign-invested mines and cashew processing plants all like to hire locals, and the officials also encourage foreign investment. Once your factory is built, if you need anything, you can come to me. I know where to hire some diligent workers.""We will have to trouble you then, Guide Zou." Zhong Lei said.Zou Weiqi shook his head with a smile: "It's no trouble. My father said there is an old Chinese saying: 'When away from home, rely on friends.' Having an acquaintance can save a lot of trouble."...Angola.On a small island not far from the coast, five people were sitting in a luxurious villa.Sitting in the seat of honor was a middle-aged man, looking to be in his fifties or sixties, with graying hair and beard, brown-black skin, and wearing a long black trench coat. His brown-black eyes seemed to have the power to penetrate people's hearts. His temperament was mixed with the majesty of someone who had long been in a high position, and although ******, he also gave people a sense of wisdom.Majesty and wisdom coexisted.A cunning wolf king, a crazy ambitious man, a desperate overlord—this was the impression people who knew him had.Lirick, who led the Dolivitz kidnapping case and created the world-terrorizing VFV biological terror, was sitting quietly on the middle-aged man's right, as well-behaved as a docile kitten, not daring to speak out of turn.On the middle-aged man's left was a woman with blonde hair and white skin, with a black rose tattooed on her left cheek and a cold gaze. She was the other deputy of the man in the seat of honor, codenamed Poison Rose. Even Lirick did not know her real name; he only knew that this woman was not to be trifled with.Opposite the man in the seat of honor were two black men in camouflage uniforms, dressed as generals. The general on the left had an old bullet scar on his face, looking somewhat ferocious; the general on the right had stubble, making him very easy to identify.If an Angolan saw them, they would definitely recognize them.They were the generals of the two most elite armies in Angola, Makani and Mbo, who controlled nearly a third of Angola's military strength.Even as commanders of such armies, they were still restless in front of the man in the seat of honor. They understood this man's character; if they made a mistake, even though they now held real power, they would lose their lives.They were core members of the organization and knew very well that the world-shaking VFV biological terror was arranged solely by Lirick. The man before them had only given an order and had not participated in the process. Even so, it had left an indelible memory of terror on the world.If this man had truly participated, the consequences would likely have been even more terrifying, treating human lives as ants."Mr. Ridman, what should we do next?" Makani, with the bullet scar on his face on the left, asked cautiously. Mbo on the right also looked at him, not daring to relax at all."Seize power." The man in the seat of honor spoke, his voice full of vigor, carrying an unquestionable majesty.For him, seizing power seemed to be a trivial matter. However, his words shocked Makani and Mbo. They knew this day would come, but when it truly arrived, they were still uneasy. If this matter was not handled well, they would lose their lives."What should we do?" Mbo suppressed the nervousness in his heart and asked."Diogo will die. He is Vasoren's mortal enemy. When the time comes, evidence of Vasoren's dirty work will be exposed, overthrowing Vasoren and supporting Netu to take power." Poison Rose took a photo out of her pocket and placed it in front of the two: "Someone will contact you about when to act and what the plan is.""As long as the plan is completed, you will be above ten thousand, controlling a country, and you can have whatever you want." Ridman picked up the water glass beside him, took a sip, and said in an indifferent voice."Good." Makani and Mbo nodded hurriedly, feeling a bit expectant.The two left. Ridman took off his glasses, revealing an extremely majestic gaze that made Lirick, who was beside him, feel nervous."How is the development of that thing going? Has it succeeded?""Dolivitz and those researchers are studying it. There is some progress, but it is hard to say when it will succeed. Would you like to go down and see?" Lirick honestly stated the situation, not daring to hide anything."No need. Notify me once that thing is completed." Ridman said leisurely."Okay." Lirick nodded."Work hard. Our goal is to build a powerful nation, without being manipulated and exploited by Westerners.""Understood." Lirick nodded heavily.Walking to the roof of the villa and watching Ridman's helicopter leave, Lirick finally let out a sigh of relief.Being around that man was incredibly stressful. However, thinking about the next step of the plan beginning, Lirick was both expectant and terrified."Sir, can Lirick complete that thing on time?" On the plane, Poison Rose asked."I don't know. Scientific research is like that; perhaps it will succeed tomorrow, or perhaps there will be no progress in ten years." Ridman turned his head to look at the villa in the distance and closed his eyes to rest: "For the next plan, be clean and efficient.""Understood." Poison Rose nodded.
