Chapter 494 Are you worthy of being called Raphael?
“Boss Lin is young and promising. He must be a leader in his field. I wonder what field he’s in?”

Faced with a table full of classic Russian food, Raphael didn’t even have the desire to pick up the knife and fork. All his attention was on Lin Zehao, and all he was thinking about was how to ask him questions.

“I do a little bit of every industry.”

Lin Zehao put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth elegantly with a napkin, his eyes full of amusement.

“For example, the arms business.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Morozov seemed to have received some signal and put down the knife and fork in his hand.

The army subordinates followed suit and put down their knives and forks.

The uniformity of their movements perfectly reflects the military’s ability to execute.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became tense and solemn.

Although Raphael has not yet fully understood the truth of the matter, he has vaguely understood that Lin Zehao has come with ill intentions.

He winked at the bodyguard beside him, who understood instantly and walked out of the banquet hall calmly, ready to notify the guard team.

Seeing this, Morozov first glanced at Lin Zehao, and when he found that the other party did not make any move, he turned a blind eye and let the bodyguard go out.

“It turns out that Mr. Lin is also an arms dealer. Then we are considered colleagues.”

“Let’s get to know each other again, Raphael, the agent of the Suez Consortium.”

Raphael was not panicked because his identity as the agent of the Suez Consortium gave him enough confidence.

Although the two poles of the world are now the polar bears and the United States, France is not weak either.

In other words, France has never been weak.

Although various breast-feeding jokes frequently appear, especially the surrender to Germany in World War II, it seems to have become an eternal shame.

But time has proved impartially that the French did make a brilliant move at that time.

Churchill’s speech was indeed shocking, and his policy of resistance to the end was admirable.

But the result?

After World War II, the huge British Empire declined rapidly, and even lost control of its colonies. Its international status plummeted.

In contrast, the surrendered French still have many colonies in Africa even decades later, and their voice and influence are still deeply rooted.

Compared with the British Empire, its strength is much stronger.

I have to say that sometimes, showing weakness is also a kind of wisdom.

“Hutchison, Lin Zehao.”

Hearing this self-introduction, Raphael was somewhat doubtful and asked tentatively: “Are you Lin Zehao, who is known as the Emperor of Africa?”

Hutchison, this name may just be a company or a community in Hong Kong Island.

But in Africa, it is well-known.

Hutchison Security and Hutchison Military Industry are two names that can never be avoided in Africa.

The former is synonymous with professionalism and killing, while the latter spreads hope and war.

In Africa, you may not know who your father is, but you must know the Emperor of Africa, Lin Zehao!

Of course, those lowly cotton growers naturally cannot reach this level. The ones who are qualified to know this name are at least the leaders of warlords who rule a certain area.

As the agent of the Suez Consortium in North Africa, it is not surprising that Raphael knows Lin Zehao’s name.

“Oh?”

“Is my fame already so great?”

Lin Zehao doesn’t like Africa, just like he doesn’t like Nege.

Therefore, he rarely handles matters here, and leaves them to his agents.

This is also what many big forces do. They just need to control everything behind the scenes and count the money with peace of mind. The agents will naturally take care of everything.

As for whether the agents will cheat, there is no need to worry about it at all, because the high commission will become a source of motivation for everyone to work hard.

What’s more, the arms industry is ultimately on the edge of the law and is a high-risk industry. No big boss will come forward to deal with it personally.

If something happens to the agent, just change him. Anyway, these days, as long as you have money, there will be people who will work hard for you.

“How could I not know about the famous emperor of Africa?”

“So your Excellency is here for the things in the warehouse, right?”

Things have come to this point. If Raphael still can’t react, he will be no different from a fool.

It was clear that Lin Zehao came with bad intentions, and even Morozov, the Air Force Commander, might have sided with him.

“Of course, we don’t speak in secret.”

“There are a total of 372 warehouses here, and all the goods inside belong to me.”

“There is an old saying in our country that things should be prioritized and people should come first and fall later.”

“You came late this time. I hope you can come earlier next time. Hutchison will definitely not compete with you.”

Lin Zehao is a businessman, a legitimate businessman.

Therefore, based on the idea that harmony brings wealth, he does not want to make the relationship between everyone too strained.

After all, the Suez Consortium is quite powerful, especially in Africa. With the support of the French government, it can act recklessly.

Raphael is a regional agent after all. Although he is just a high-level worker in Lin Zehao’s eyes, one should still look at the owner first and give him a little face.

Fighting and killing are just means to solve problems, not the ultimate goal.

“Hahahahahaha!”

“How can you say such a thing? Do you think I’m a child?”

“Or do you think you’ve already won and you don’t even want to make an excuse?”

Raphael simply stood up and looked down at Lin Zehao, his eyes filled with anger.

“Commander Morozov, this is a stamp from the Armaments Department of the Ministry of Defense in Moscow. You seem to be a smart man. I hope you won’t do anything stupid.”

“This is a matter between him and me, and we should resolve it between ourselves.”

Throwing a piece of paper to Morozov, Raphael walked slowly to Lin Zehao and said sarcastically: “There is also an old saying in my country, I passera de l’eau sous les ponts.”

“It means that life is full of surprises, so don’t jump to conclusions too soon.”

“Obviously, Mr. Lin doesn’t understand this.”

Raphael held his head high and said with a victorious attitude: “Now I will give you a chance. Stand up and leave immediately. Not only will I forgive your stupid idea, but I will also give you 100,000 US dollars as compensation.”

“I’ll only give you one minute to think about it. No more waiting.”

At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind me, which was the sound of military boots stepping on the ground.

“Listen! What a beautiful voice! My guards have arrived. You don’t have much time to think about it.”

Raphael opened his arms and talked to himself with an intoxicated look on his face, looking like a bard.

“Don’t move, or I’ll blow your head off.” Park Woong-cheol held the Winchester M1887 shotgun in his hand. After turning around handsomely, he loaded the bullet and pointed the cold muzzle at the back of Raphael’s head.

If you just look at the back, it is definitely the governor in person.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zehao almost laughed out loud.

“At this time, you still have the energy to cultivate your artistic sentiment? You are so romantic!”

Lin Zehao cursed, slowly stood up from his chair, and made a V shape with his right hand. Ama immediately handed him the Cuban cigar and lit it respectfully.
The whole process was completed in one go, and Morozov and others were stunned.

A Russian with the shoulder straps of a division commander was stunned and asked, “Is there such a thing?”

Although the others didn’t say anything, their expressions said it all.

On the other hand, Raphael, who had just been in poetic inspiration, was now like a frightened quail, squatting on the ground with his hands on his head, his face full of shock and fear.

No matter what, he would never have thought that Lin Zehao would dare to attack him!

“You are crazy!”

“The Suez Consortium is behind me. If you dare to attack me, you are provoking the entire consortium and the entire French Empire!”

Seeing that Lin Zehao did not react and remained calm, Raphael continued: “Don’t you just want the things in the warehouse?”

“Okay! As long as you let me go, I promise that the Suez Consortium will never compete with you for this business!”

“This is just normal business competition. There is no need to escalate it to the level of personal safety. Isn’t there an old saying in your country…” Raphael was so nervous that the words were on the tip of his tongue but he couldn’t say them.

“Harmony brings wealth, that’s what they say, right?”

Raphael finally said this, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Your name is Raphael?”

Lin Zehao exhaled a puff of smoke and walked slowly to Raphael. From the latter’s perspective, he could only see the Baroque leather shoes that were purely handmade in Italy, shining brightly under the light.

“Yes, my full name is Raphael…”

“Shut up! Did Hao ask you your full name?”

Park Woong-cheol smashed down with the butt of his gun, causing Raphael to see stars. His originally neat hair became disheveled, and spots of bright red blood stained his black suit, making him look very embarrassed.

“Those are the three great men of the Renaissance.”

“Are you worthy of being called Raphael?”

“You dare to call me Raphael?”

Lin Zehao showed disdain on his face, making Raphael dare not respond at all.

“Okay, I’ve never had the habit of wasting time talking to a defeated enemy. Let’s find a place to bury him.”

“Yes, Brother Hao.”

Park Woong-cheol responded, grabbed Raphael by the collar and prepared to walk out.

Looking at his relaxed look, it was as if he was holding a little chicken.

“Commander Morozov, he is a madman. Are you crazy with him?”

“You know what will happen if you kill me! Are you willing to bear the wrath of the Suez Consortium with him?”

Raphael was hanging in the air and felt like he was about to suffocate. He could only try to break free from Park Woong-cheol’s control by kicking continuously.

Unfortunately, this little trick is doomed to be in vain in front of the giant beast that is nearly 1.9 meters tall and weighs 200 pounds.

Hearing this, Lin Zehao gave Park Xiongzhe a look, causing him to stop.

Seeing this, Morozov walked forward with a grim smile and kicked Raphael in the stomach!
“vomit!”

After the severe pain, Raphael’s stomach twitched violently, as if the sea was turning upside down, and he vomited wildly and uncontrollably.

“what!”

Park Woong-cheol looked disgusted and silently moved Raphael aside, fearing that he would get hurt.

This suit was given to him by Brother Hao. It is a high-end product handmade in Italy and cost a full six thousand US dollars!
If it gets dirty, he will be heartbroken.

“Weren’t you quite arrogant when we first met? Now you know how to beg me?”

“But I’m very sorry, Boss Lin and I are close revolutionary partners, and you are just a running dog of capitalism!”

“For people like you, there is only one way: hell!”

“Remember this in your next life: never tell people in our country that you don’t like black bread and vodka!”

Morozov punched Raphael twice more, and finally he let out most of his anger.

“No!”

“You will definitely regret it!”

“I……”

Raphael wanted to say something else, but was slapped back by Park Woong-cheol.

Once the situation was under control, the soldiers retreated like the tide, and peace returned to the banquet hall.

Morozov waved to his subordinates, signaling them to leave.

After a while, Lin Zehao and he were the only ones left in the banquet hall.

“We can’t hide the fact that Raphael was killed. The Suez Consortium will most likely retaliate. How are you going to deal with it?”

A large part of the Suez Consortium’s annual revenue and profits comes from the sale of arms and weapons.

There are two largest agents in Africa, and Raphael is in charge of North Africa.

The Suez Consortium will certainly not let this kind of person off the table. The people of this land are completely ignorant of reason and only know how to fear absolute power. If they do not retaliate in a high-profile manner, they will not be able to do business in Africa in the future.

Sometimes, the business world is just like the underworld. If you have a bad reputation for a long time, no one will be afraid of you.

“If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will build a wall. Since I dare to kill Raphael, I am naturally not afraid of their so-called revenge.”

“What’s more, the current pattern of the arms market in Africa is basically determined. Both of us want to make more money, so we can only kill our opponents and strengthen ourselves.”

Lin Zehao smoked a cigar and spoke with a dim look in his eyes.

It seems that he killed Raphael because of the competition for business, but in fact, there will be a conflict between Hutchison and Suez Consortium sooner or later.

After all, the market is so small, and if you want to make more money you have to eliminate your competitors.

As it happens, in this land full of Neg, the two of them are the biggest rivals.

After all, American weapons are not popular here. Only the sturdy and durable Russian ones are the most popular among Africans.

From the age of 47 to the youngest who can just walk, absolutely everyone has an AK-.

This is the current situation in Africa, and even more so in the third world.

The flames of war never cease, but they often occur in places that most people cannot see.

Anyway, someone has to do the arms business, and someone has to make the money, so why can’t it be Lin Zehao?
