Chapter 760 Second Patrol Team
In the evening, Li Mo opened his eyes on time and looked left and right. The people around him had long disappeared, leaving only a wisp of fragrance wandering in the sea breeze.
Li Mo, who was in a very happy mood, took a shower and went out of the room when he heard the sound of a group of birds singing downstairs.
Seeing Li Mo suddenly appear from upstairs, all the women were stunned. Except for Bai Jing's slightly red face and glanced at Li Mo, all the other women were stunned.
"Li Mo, why are you here?" Liu Wei was the first to react, regardless of other people's expressions, and rushed directly into Li Mo's arms and said delicately.
In front of Li Mo, she put the Buddha like the little girl who didn't grow up in the past, and she needed to be cared for and spoiled.
"I came in the afternoon. You are not at home. I just slept upstairs for a while." Li Mo touched Liu Wei's head with a smile, looked at Tina, the housekeeper standing aside, and said, "Tina can testify for me."
Tina immediately said, "The young master came in the afternoon."
Bai Jing, who was extremely nervous, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Li Mo's words. She was very nervous just now and was afraid of being found out what happened between her and Li Mo. Fortunately, everyone's attention was not on it.
"Bad boy, why don't you come to see me when you come in the afternoon? It seems that you don't pay attention to my mother-in-law. Yang Xiaorou, who sat cross-legged on the sofa and didn't get up, looked at Li Mo angrily.
Li Mo smiled and quickly explained, "At that time, I saw that your door was closed and I thought you were resting, so I didn't disturb you. It's not my fault. By the way, have you eaten yet? I'm hungry."
"When is it all? We've all eaten, Tina. Go and ask the kitchen to prepare something for the young master. Yang Xiaorou stared at Li Mo, but did not continue to pester on this issue.
In this family, Yang Xiaorou can be said to be more than half of the master. The other mother-in-laws are relatively calm, and the level of management of this family is not as good as Yang Xiaorou. Her wrists and ability have long been recognized by everyone.
Soon, the maid sent a Chinese meal. Li Mo, regardless of his image, quickly ate it like a storm. He had spent a lot of energy before, and he urgently needed to supplement it at this moment.
Liu Wei, who had almost no scheming, handed Li Mo a tissue and exclaimed, "Xiao Mo, did you go to fight against stones today? Why are you so hungry?
The speaker didn't want to listen. Li Mo quietly glanced at Bai Jing, who was blushing and lowering her head. He touched Liu Wei's face and said with a smile, "Although there is no resistance to stone, it's almost the same. I worked hard for more than an hour to finish it, and I almost lost my life.
Several women became curious and asked Li Mo what he had done. It was so hard. Li Mo's identity is the deputy commander-in-chief of the three armies, and he doesn't need to do anything by himself, unless it's a very special thing.
"Hehe, this can't be said to be confidential. Although it's a little hard, the results are still good, which makes me very satisfied. Li Mo replied pretending to be mysterious, and his erratic eyes swept over Bai Jing pretending to be calm.
Several people were disappointed for a while, but they did not continue to pester. After all, Li Mo said that it was confidential, and it must be a matter of national affairs.
" By the way, I heard from Tina that you all went to work? I don't even know what you're busy with?" Li Mo knew that he couldn't go on, so he changed the topic and asked.
The women immediately calmed down when they heard the words and looked at each other, as if they were passing on some secrets. This scene made Li Mo curious. Are these women really doing something amazing?
"Xiao Wei, you whisper to me, what's the matter?" Li Mo pulled Liu Wei into his arms and asked softly. He knew that among these women, the one with the loosest mouth was this little girl.
Liu Wei blushed slightly and pinched for a long time before replying, "We started a company in partnership."
Li Mo raised his eyebrows and said strangely, "Open the company? This is a good thing. Why is it mysteriously hidden?
Everyone is very young. It's not a matter to stay at home every day. It's very good to have a job to pass the time. Li Mo has always supported it. Why do you have to keep it a secret?
Yang Xiaorou sighed secretly that her daughter was really far from her. How could she not learn her strengths at all?
"Let me talk about it, Xiao Mo. Several of us think that it is easy to become lazy when we are idle every day, especially a few girls who do nothing at a young age and it is easy to think nonsense, so we start a small company together. At first, everyone was going to give you a surprise without telling you, but later the company lost money, and everyone was embarrassed to say it.
"Puzz..." Li Mo just drank all the tea in his mouth and sprayed out. He stared at the women with big eyes and asked in surprise, "Do you have a company?"
"It's just selling some international luxury goods, such as high-end clothing, leather bags and jewelry. At first, we thought that Mogadishu, as the capital of Somalia, must have a lot of rich people. The sale of luxury goods is not a problem, but in the end, it's just to save money. We are so busy that we don't even pay wages, otherwise we will lose money. Yang Xiaorou said that she was also a little embarrassed. Among this group of women, she also had a greater right to speak. She, not to mention the younger generation, the other three elders, basically obeyed her decision. But things in business are not that simple!
Among several elders, Bai Jing is the most familiar with doing business. It's just that Bai Jing's mind has always been uncertain because of that matter, and she didn't put it on business at all. Song Lihua, who used to care about Zhang Dashan's business at all, was a full-time wife. The other two women, their husbands, are both officials. If you want to talk about current affairs, you can talk about one or two things, but if you do business, you will talk about it on paper.
There is nothing wrong with women choosing the luxury goods industry. With the development of the economy, the market share of world luxury goods is increasing year by year, but it also depends on where it is. Mogadishu is the capital of Somalia, and there are many rich people, but most of the customers who really use luxury goods rarely buy them in China. They basically often go abroad and buy directly abroad, and they are also assured about the quality of the goods.
"Have you thought about how to solve it?" Li Mo asked.
Yang Xiaorou replied with a smile, "We were still talking about it just now. Sister Bai proposed several ways. One is to increase the reputation of our company, so that those ladies can understand our strength. The other is to find new sources of goods. We take the goods directly from large foreign companies, and the prices are relatively high. We plan to start from Africa is looking for some powerful companies to cooperate with. After all, such as diamond and gold, the prices in some parts of Africa are low and can reduce costs. Another way is to let the government axe department introduce a law that imposes high tariffs on luxury goods.
Li Mo was really surprised. He couldn't help looking at Bai Jing with a normal face. He didn't expect that this woman was really smart, especially the last one, which was a measure to set up a trade fortress to protect domestic enterprises.
"Not bad, very good. It seems that Aunt Bai is still very talented in business. Li Mozan said, "I can help you contact the senior officials and ladies in Mogadishu. As long as you have a good relationship with these people, your business will naturally get better."
"Bow... Xiao Mo, I was going to ask you for help before, but my mother said it's not good for you." Liu Wei kissed Li Mo with a smile. She looked proudly at Yang Xiaorou with a bitter smile and said in a delicate voice.
Everyone talked for a while and then went to rest. This night, Li Mo was very busy. He drilled through several doors in a row, and finally gasped back to his room to sleep.
The next day, the energetic Li Mo appeared in Berbera, the largest port in the north, the most important port in the north. After a period of construction, it not only expanded a lot, but also divided into a region and became the station of the second patrol of the Somali navy. The main base of the four 022-class stealth missile boats purchased from Huaxia will be set up here.
At this time, in addition to the four missile boats that have joined the Somali Navy, there is also a frigate of the Chinese Navy docked on the dock. This frigate has been approved by the Somali political axe. During the escort period, it will be able to dock in Berbera at any time after application for resupply.
"Coloon Kadaf, how about it? What do you think about this trip to China? Walking on the dock and looking at the busy port, Li Mo smiled and asked Ahmadi, who is now the commander of the second patrol? Kadav, the former pirate leader.
"Sir, for a month in China, I felt a lot. I visited one of their naval bases, a naval shipyard, and saw what the modern shipbuilding industry and the modern naval power look like. Kadav replied respectfully, with a lot of feeling in his tone.
"Oh?" Li Mo stopped and asked curiously, "Isn't it envious?"
Looking at Kadav, he was a little embarrassed. Li Mo knew what the other party was thinking and said with a smile, "I know the important surname of the navy, but Somalia is not a big country or a strong country. She is just a small country with a weak country. We can't compare with other countries in all aspects. It's not called strengthening national defense, but a barren army and a road to destruction. Other countries have money and strength while developing sea, land and air, which are not lagging behind others, but we can only concentrate all human, material and financial resources on one aspect of development, so that we can achieve outstanding results in a certain aspect, so don't envy or have any dissatisfaction. It's the right way to do what you can.
Li Mo is no longer working for the navy. He can't be impatient. After all, everyone's starting point is good. It's all for Somalia's national defense. Li Mo can't stop it at will, but needs a gentle way to slowly eliminate the disappointment of naval officers and soldiers.
"In the future, your task will be very difficult. This is close to the Gulf of Aden, which is an important international maritime passage. Our country did not have a navy before, so it could not bear the due responsibility of a maritime country. Now we have a navy. Although it is still very small, we can't ignore it. In the future, you should often take back the work that belongs to our navy. In addition, there are escort fleets of various countries in the Gulf of Aden, many of which are unfriendly or even hostile to our country. When dealing with them, we need to pay attention to the way. If we are weak, we can't lose national dignity, and if we are tough, it is easy to cause diplomatic and even military conflicts. Our strength is still very weak, and the economy has not yet recovered. I'm ready..."
