Another similar example of this but different government is United Fruit(backed by US) and all the bloodshed and violence they caused. Look up their Banana Massacre section in their wikipedia entry.

Granted it's not exactly the same playbook but it's definitely from the imperialist portfolio, massive violence is always in the best interests of large industry close with their government.
