Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0552: Diamonds from the Mountain
The living environment on Kanglong Island is very primitive, but people can live so long. This shows one thing: there is one or even multiple substances on the island that can bring huge benefits to the human body.
As long as we find this kind of material and conduct in-depth research, we can develop a real health care product. As for whether to launch it on the market, it depends on whether this material is easy to obtain.
Large-scale promotion is impossible. Even if such materials are not in short supply, the health products developed will only be passed on among the rich.
A very cruel and true reality is that good things often cannot fall into the hands of ordinary people.
When the time on Nan Yi's watch pointed to 3:30 in the morning, at the Carthage Olive Oil Processing Factory in Gafsa Province, Tunisia, Juma took a flashlight and pointed it in one direction, turning it on and off three times in a row, sending a secret signal.
After waiting for a few minutes, two people came towards him from the darkness.
“How much security is there at the factory?”
The one with the hooked nose walked up to Juma and asked in a cold voice.
"Boss Kachi, you can rest assured. I have already bribed the security guards in the factory. After the task is completed, we can just give them 1,000 dinars [1 US dollar = 0.776 dinars] each and they can be sent away." Juma said with a shameless face, seeking credit.
"You have done very well, and you will not be left without any benefits." Kachi said with a gloomy face.
"Thank you, thank you, Boss Kachi."
"Chris, can you see clearly?"
On the high ground on the hillside behind the Carthage Olive Oil Processing Plant, Dewen and sniper Chris were lying in the grass covered with camouflage nets.
Chris is holding a Savior 1977 precision rifle, a rifle that has never appeared in the original historical trajectory. It combines the advantages of the WSG2000 long-range rifle and AWP, and comprehensively adopts the advantages of various sniper rifles. It is developed according to Chris's personal habits and is a sniper rifle with very high technical content.
At this time, Chris was observing the movements on the hillside through the world's most advanced thermal imaging lens.
After Johnny acquired the patented technology of the AA-12 shotgun, he established the Wanderer Company to facilitate the continued research and development and improvement of this shotgun.
After the company was established, Johnny was not idle and soon invested in Barrett. Nan Yi thought Johnny was just playing around, and since he liked guns, he decided to invest.
But he never imagined that Johnny seemed to be possessed by the business elite and soon set his sights on the Eagle Country International Precision Instruments Company and the German HK Company. He invested some money in both companies. He did not hold many shares and had no say, but he had the opportunity to access the latest technology and experimental firearms of the two companies.
In addition, Pan American Investment Holdings has also invested in Philly, a company in Portland, Oregon, USA, which is a global leader in infrared imaging technology.
When it comes to infrared imaging companies, there are only two to mention, Philli and the other ordinary companies.
It is precisely because of the technical support in all aspects that Chris finally had the Savior 1977 precision rifle in his hand, which will never be popularized.
The cost is 320,000 US dollars. Which country's army is willing to equip it on a large scale? It would be good enough if it could be used to equip special forces.
"It is very clear that the target is approaching the oil tank. It is expected to take fifteen seconds."
"OK, then wait and see."
Daven was also observing down the hillside with a passive low-light telescope in her hand.
The oil tank had been tampered with. A vibration sensor detonator had been installed on it. Cycloalkane [one of the ingredients of napalm] was also added to the mixed oil stored in the tank. The amount was not too large, but it was enough to ensure that the mixed oil would be ignited after the explosion, causing a violent explosion.
After all, in order to ignite gasoline and cause an explosion, some slightly harsh conditions are required. It's not like in the movies , where you can shoot a kid in the head with one shot, and the car will explode as long as the bullet hits the fuel tank.
"The target is ready to turn the hole, three, two..."
Before Chris could utter the word "one", he and Devin both got up from the ground and squatted on two sponges that had been prepared in advance.
As soon as the two men squatted down, the oil storage tank under the hillside made a muffled groan, and then, after a few tenths of a second, the ground began to shake, and the mountains shook and the earth trembled, as if a magnitude 12 earthquake had erupted.
"ah……"
As the tremors spread up the hillside, both Chris and Devin opened their mouths and screamed.
The sea was calm, with only flames rising into the sky.
Daven said dimly, "Boss must be holding his chest right now. I hope he won't have a heart attack."
… …
"Nan Sheng, it exploded." The school beauty hung up the phone and said to Nan Yi.
"I know. The news will reach Hahn in half a day. The futures market will react this afternoon, West European time. The big move will have to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when the news spreads widely."
Nan Yi estimated that the money earned from the futures market would only be enough to make up for the losses caused by the explosion and the shock he suffered. The real profit would still come from the 210,000 tons of olive oil that he secretly hid.
"This time the commotion was quite big. Although I was right in every step, or at least had a twisted reason, the capitalists would never reason with others. I have to change my approach next time, otherwise sooner or later someone will jump out and cause trouble for me. It's not easy for me to make some private money, me!"
Nan Yi sat there muttering to himself, then asked the school beauty to take the cell phone and call Pan Disheng.
An hour later, Nan Yi appeared at the Youqiao Teahouse on Broadcasting Avenue.
Speaking of the Youqiao Teahouse, it is quite famous, especially among the actors in Xiangkeng, because it was opened by Cao Xihua, um, not the tiger in the serious crime squad who lived off his wife.
Cao Xihua has a long history in the film and television industry. He was already an actor in Shanghai in the early 1930s. He came to Hong Kong in the mid-1930s and can be regarded as one of the founders of Hong Kong films.
He opened a film company in the 1940s and founded a theater in the 1950s, stepping into the cinema industry. His career reached its peak in the 1960s, and then declined.
As for how he fell into decline, Nan Yi was currently listening to Cao Xihua telling about his glorious history.
"Back then, every movie produced by my Huada Film Studio was a big hit, and each movie could earn tens or even hundreds of millions. With so much money, I felt itchy, and after being persuaded by someone, I went overseas to gamble.
At first, it was okay, just a little bit of fun, but as time went on, I became more and more addicted to gambling..." Cao Ruhua took a puff of his cigar, sighed, and continued: "In the end, the entire Huada was lost to Bo Chupu, as well as the entire Diamond Hill land."
Hearing the word "Diamond Hill", Nan Yi's eyes lit up, "If I remember correctly, Diamond Hill will become Galaxy Residences and Hollywood Plaza in the future. Whose property is that..."
Nan Yi recalled for a long time before he realized that it should be the property of Wu Zhengguang, the son-in-law of Bao Yugang who inherited the Bao family's property.
"Did Wu Zhengguang and Bo Chupu form a partnership, or did they buy the land back from Bo Chupu?"
Nan Yi roughly estimated the current value of the Diamond Hill land. Even if it was bought at a 100% premium, or even a triple premium, he would not lose money if he hoarded it. He would definitely make a profit, and a big profit.
Today's trip to Youqiao Teahouse was worthwhile. Nan Yi had to thank Pan Disheng for inviting him here, and also thank Pan Disheng and Cao Xihua for chatting here because he was not there. He should also thank himself for walking over unconsciously when he saw Michelle Yim.
