Chapter 410 An intriguing company (Happy New Year)

Good guy, the name is full of love.

But viewers have long heard through the live broadcast from the director of the zoo, Balin, that this foundation is a shell company, and it is most likely a fraud organization. The purpose is to buy rare animals in the zoo and then transfer them to the black market for sale.

Calculate it this way.

An ordinary leopard costs hundreds of thousands of dollars each. As a top rare cat and a national treasure of Yemen, the Arabian leopard is worth seven or eight times as much?

24 Arabian leopards can be sold for a high price of at least close to 10 million US dollars. Compared with the two, the 1 million US dollars seems to have doubled, but in fact it is still a huge profit!

Wang Kui returned the business card directly: "Sorry, I'm not interested."

"Are you afraid that we can't afford it, sir?"

Hammer curled his lips and did not accept the business card. Instead, he took a step forward and whispered: "Our foundation is endorsed by the South African Anger Trading Group. If you are interested, we can pay some deposit first." , and then sign the contract. To be honest, there are more than 260 animals in Taiz Zoo. The amount of money consumed in keeping these animals in captivity is very huge. Your organization also needs to make a profit, right?"

"unnecessary."

The more urgent the other party is, the more Wang Kui feels that his purpose is impure.

Hammer didn't expect this guy to be so resolute, and he knew that the business would not be negotiated, "Your dog is great, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate again!"

He glanced at the toothy butt and made way for Wang Kui.

Looking at Wang Kui's leaving figure, the black man from the Iron Tower couldn't help but ask, "Just let him go?"

"First check the background of this kid."

Hammer smoothed his hair and tied it into a ponytail again, with a sinister smile appearing on his face: "If it doesn't work, we can only use the old method..."

[It turns out that Lao Kui asked Sur to leave first because he had already discovered that someone was following him! 】

[Lao Kui's anti-reconnaissance ability is indeed very strong, but I feel that these people are not like good people as the director said, so Lao Kui must be careful! 】

[Maybe they will grab it directly! 】

[Didn’t the director of the park say that security personnel have been hired to protect all Arabian leopards? 】

Wang Kui didn't have time to think too much about the group of people just now. What he was most concerned about now was Lao Zhao's safety. After learning that the other party had successfully boarded the car and headed to the airport, he finally let go of the feeling that was hanging in his heart. .

no way.

Even if he brought Lao Zhao to Yemen, it would still be very dangerous. No, before the extradition started, he would either be shot or robbed.

It's come full circle.

Back on the top floor of the office building, Suer and Rab were playing games with the children. When they saw Big Butt coming back, they all gathered around happily, wanting to play with it.

Since the contract has been signed, now Wang Kui only needs to wait for the procedures and people.

In the afternoon, after confirming that Lao Zhao had boarded the plane.

While taking a break from chatting with the audience, he took out his mobile phone and looked up Hammer's background and the South African Anger Trading Group he mentioned.

As Bahrain said, there is no information at all about the former bullshit foundation. Even the professional foreign company inquiry website is basically blank, just an empty shell.

On the contrary, this "Ange" has a really big background. It is actually the largest listed wildlife trading company in Africa. It is mainly engaged in the export of wild animal skins and live animals for exotic pet trade, traditional medicine and luxury goods production. It is headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa.

[Let me just say that these people must have bad intentions! 】

[Isn’t it said that African countries have banned the trade of wild animals? Why are there still companies that can trade and trade on such a large scale? 】

[Maybe farmed ones don’t count? 】

[Most likely it is breeding. Just like domestic black bears are protected animals, there are also artificially bred bear factories that collect bear bile powder and other products. 】

Wang Kui looked at the company information and slowly analyzed it for everyone: "They are basically engaged in legal trade. Since Africa banned the hunting of elephants, lions, black rhinos, leopards, and buffaloes, many wild animal trades have The company did gradually die out because of this, but some people turned their attention to other legal animals, or artificial breeding, such as the New Five, which are ball pythons, African gray parrots, emperor scorpions, leopard tortoises and savannah monitor lizards. "

"Currently, these animals are among the five most actively traded exotic pets in the world. You see, the export volume of Ange Trading Group in 2017 reached 210,000 animals, accounting for nearly 70% of the entire African export volume. The fur trade is also exaggerated, with 180,000 Nile crocodiles, South African fur seals, Hartmann's Mountain zebras, farmed elephants, and hippos exported, accounting for more than 90%!"

What Lao Kui said, as shown in the listing financial report, can reach a total turnover of 11 billion US dollars!

What an exaggerated number!

You know, the scale of a large listed technology Internet company cannot even compare to it!

It can be said.

This is a true international giant!

But Wang Kui carefully noticed that 2017 was also the peak of Ange. From 2018 to 2022, the company’s revenue continued to decline. The main reason came from legal prohibitions. For example, the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Animals Since 2019, South African gray parrots have been included in the banned trade list.

He knew that this kind of parrot not only has a long lifespan, but also has a very high IQ and can imitate human speech. However, in the past 50 years, the wild population of African gray parrots has declined by 79%, and 99% of the wild population in Ghana has disappeared.

Now it seems that this may be the reason why Ange over-arrested.

You must know that some animals are difficult to breed, have low survival rates, and have a long growth period, which is much faster than catching them directly from the wild.

There are also South African fur seals. At present, most countries in Africa have begun to ban trade. The only legal country is Namibia, and the number is strictly limited.

When it comes to Namibia, the interesting point comes.

Wang Kui suddenly discovered that among the many holding subsidiaries of the South African Anger Trading Group, many were in Namibia and were engaged in the field of wildlife products, because Namibia's relevant laws and regulations are the most relaxed, but among them, there was a company The name was extremely familiar to him, it was Anji Yi Taxidermy Art Company.

It’s the one Rahman asked me to look at last time I was in Dubai!

Through previous observations, he had concluded that most of the animal specimens Anji Yi gave to Rahman were obtained illegally.

So.

Whether it is the personal behavior of Anjiyi Company or the deliberate instigation of the parent company Ange behind it, this is "intriguing".

But Wang Kui knew one thing.

Subject to future regulations, the profit pie of legal animal trade will become smaller and smaller.

If you want to keep the company's revenue, profits and stock price, and afford loans and employee expenses, you can only find ways to get involved in gray and illegal trade! !

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tutu wishes everyone a happy Year of the Ox and asks for monthly votes!
