Chapter 802: Greeting
Outside the airport, several cars carrying the Egyptian flag of the Ministry of Environment were parked on the side of the road, and a dignified man sat in the car.
"Are you sure that Chairman Fengsheng is here in person?"
The majestic man stared at the light outside the window, at this time, he should have gone to sleep, but he was woken up by the phone, a little irritable.
"Your Excellency, I've confirmed!"
Sitting next to him was the majestic man's right-hand man, Ilfani, who nodded.
Ilfani was respectful to the majestic man, and said: "I heard that this time, Song came to inspect the progress of the project in person, I have tried it, and Song is not very satisfied with the progress of this project!"
"Really?"
The majestic man is Alef.
Aleph was originally born in Egyptian aristocracy, graduated and began to enter the political arena, step by step, and is now a new upstart in Egypt's political arena, a rising star, at a young age, not only served as the deputy minister of the environment, but also served as the deputy minister of international cooperation.
In Egyptian politics, he is dazzling, and as long as there are no accidents in the future, he will enter the cabinet.
However, although he developed well before, but after all, because he was too young, he was pressed to not move, what really contributed to his taking this step was that he presided over it independently, and forcibly replaced Abby International, and then cooperated with the backward Huaguo Fengsheng Agriculture.
Egypt is a place where desertification is very serious, and the annual losses caused by desert encroachment and desertification are astronomical.
It's not that the Egyptian authorities haven't thought about controlling desertification, but they have invested countless amounts of money before and after, but the effect is very poor, and the domestic people obviously have no choice.
So they're looking at international cooperation.
At the beginning, it was Abby International that approached them, and Abby International's new saplings did have a good response in the desert, which also gave Egypt a hope.
Therefore, Egypt can't wait to reach a cooperation with Abby International.
But what happened later was unexpected, and in the distant and backward country of China, something shocked them.
Later, after they inquired, the saplings of Abby International were indeed from China, but this was already a boat.
In this matter, it was not Alepf who was responsible at the beginning, but Alepf used this incident to bring down the opponent and forcibly reached a cooperation with Fengsheng.
Mainly after Ilfani went to Australia to inspect, the news that came back made him make up his mind to cooperate with Huaguo.
In the end, his choice allowed him to completely stand in his position.
Now the project has not been carried out for a long time, but the results achieved are indeed satisfactory to everyone in the country, not to mention solving the desert problem, but at least a line of defense has been built to prevent the desert from continuing to spread.
Abundant saplings, under the scarcity of water resources, under the scorching sun, can continue to grow, and grow rapidly, even accompanied by some changes in the desert soil.
This made many bigwigs in China see the possibility of really hoping for Egypt to govern the desert, and it was also the affirmation of him by those bigwigs.
If it weren't for his firm and persistent determination to replace Abby International, which had signed a contract, even regardless of Egypt's integrity, there would be no outstanding results today.
Fengsheng's achievements in desert management are definitely the best in the world, and at present, no company or country in the world dares to say that Fengsheng has the ability to manage deserts.
So Alepf is determined and hearty to cooperate.
However, Alepf did not meet Song Shan, but only talked about a transaction through a phone call, and most of the others either talked to Lei Tian or those in charge of Fengsheng.
For Fengsheng Song Shan, he is more expectant.
"It would be a good thing if Song could speed up the progress of this project!" Alepf pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Recently, some people in the cabinet are not very satisfied with me, I need greater results, let them shut up!"
"Minister, I actually think that we can increase cooperation with Fengsheng Greening!" Yilfani said softly next to him: "Fengsheng greening has a great momentum in China, and it is rumored that it is not only an extraordinary achievement in desert management, but also great results in urban greening, if we can strengthen cooperation, this is a good thing for us, at least to ensure the successful completion of the desert tree planting project!"
"Urban greenery?"
Alepf shook his head: "I would like to, but those old guys won't want to, they won't let the urban greening be contracted by outsiders!"
Egypt is also an ancient civilization, and it is developing rapidly, both in terms of tourism and urban greening.
However, the Egyptians are a little xenophobic, especially the Chinese, who are not very welcome, and it is difficult to reach and cooperate with the Chinese if there is no way to do it this time.
Although Egypt has established a strategic cooperative relationship with China in 94 years, in the eyes of many people in Egypt, China still seems backward and is still only developing.
Many Egyptians' influence on China is still stuck in the last century, and they do not realize how fast China will develop in the new century.
..................
At this time, five or six more cars stopped directly in front of them, and more than a dozen people got out of the cars and rushed into the airport in a hurry.
Ilfani looked at it, reported to Alef, and said: "It's the person in charge of Fengsheng Greening Egypt Company, and their three major leaders have all arrived, so it must be the chairman of Fengsheng Greening, Song's arrival, otherwise it won't be so grand!"
"Huaguo has a saying, all guests come from afar, so let's go and greet them!"
Aleph pushed the car door.
"Yes!"
Ilfani also pushed open the door and got out of the car.
..............................
Song Shan walked out of the airport, got down from the elevator, and just walked out of the exit, he saw more than a dozen people in black suits in front of him.
"Chairman!"
"Chairman, this way!"
Someone screamed.
Song Shan glanced at it.
The branch established by Fullshare Greening in Egypt is mainly responsible for the desert tree planting project invested by Egypt with an investment of 25 billion Egyptian pounds.
But Anru didn't find the right person to be in charge of all the business in Egypt, so he managed it separately.
One is responsible for business, the other is responsible for finance, and another person is transferred from the head office to be responsible for supervision, which can be regarded as forming a management system of triangular checks and balances.
Headed by the oldest, the man who looks almost forty years old, wearing a black suit, very neat, called Gong Jian, is a more powerful general under An Ru, from An Ru in the Jiangnan branch followed An Ru, An Ru went to Australia, he also followed An Ru, is a veteran in business, especially in the desert tree planting in Australia has a good experience, he is responsible for the business as the vice president of Fengsheng Greening.
The other vice president looks young, Li Cong, about early thirties, with an accounting background and an MBA degree, is a talent recruited by Yi Hongyu from outside.
Gong Jian is steady, Li Cong is capable, the two have cooperated, but they can hold up this field, plus a party from the head office has been supervising for ten years, the whole team is still operating more wrongly at present.
But there are too many leaders, which is also a problem, which can check and balance each other, and can also suppress each other's ability, which naturally leads to some slowness of the project.
So Song Shan was a little dissatisfied.
This time, he transferred from Egypt to Africa, just to take a look at this problem by the way, to see if he could make the progress of the project faster and promote it faster as soon as possible, so that the project could be completed ahead of schedule and get Egypt's 25 billion Egyptian pounds as soon as possible.
In fact, when I grabbed this project, I was a bit of a loser, and I didn't plan to use this project to make money at that time, because I hoped that through this project, I could expand my influence abroad.
Let the name of Fengsheng planting trees in the desert be passed on.
But in fact, Egypt's desert tree planting project, on the whole, if you don't count the perimeter of the investment, is still a relatively profitable project.
At least two or three billion Egyptian pounds can be gained.
It's just that if the investment circumference seems too long, the profits will be consumed in it, resulting in less and less profits that Fengsheng can get.
Therefore, only by completing the project as soon as possible, the shorter the time, the more profitable it will be.
Song Shan walked over, looked at Gong Jian, Li Cong, and Fang Shishi, and smiled slightly: "You guys are abroad, you have worked hard!"
In any case, it is always hard to be stationed abroad, although the salary here will definitely be much higher than at home, but in any case, it will always be uncomfortable for people to be in a foreign country.
"The chairman is polite!"
"It's not hard!"
"It's all for the company!"
The three of them hurriedly said.
Let's be honest, business travel is not a problem, Egypt is not a desolate place, and it would be a tragedy to go to other parts of Africa to open up wasteland.
In Egypt, they are relatively comfortable, and the salary here is more than twice as high as in China, and working here for a few years is equivalent to working in the country for ten years.
So they are willing to boil abroad.
In addition, they are all ambitious and ambitious, and the abundance of greening is getting bigger and bigger, with a scale of tens of billions, in this era, they are already large enterprises, and even have the opportunity to enter the world's top 500.
Their goal is to climb up the management level, and instead of slowly working at home, it is better to stay abroad for a few years, so that they can have more qualifications.
And to do this project well, the resume is a very beautiful thing for all of them.
"Let's go back first!"
Song Shan smiled slightly.
A group of people brought the salute and prepared to take them to the good hotel that had been arranged.
"Look at your anger, did you rush back from the construction site?"
Song Shan had already noticed their panting appearance, and asked as he walked.
"When Mr. An called us, we were still in the Sahara Desert, and the signal there was not very good, so we received the news relatively late!" Gong Jian said in a low voice: "Although I rushed back as soon as possible, I was almost late." ”
"It's fine!"
Song Shan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, just do your job!"
After thinking about it, Song Shan said: "The Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world, is rumored to have a very bad environment, and it is the most unsuitable place for creatures to live, is that true?"
"Chairman, where the environment may be worse than the written record!" Fang Shishi is from the head office, but he doesn't have much time to deal with Song Shan, he is a talent discovered by Huang Yue, and he automatically petitioned to come to Egypt, maybe many people regard coming to Egypt as a painful thing, but Fang Shiyi doesn't want to stay in China because of family reasons, and coming to Egypt is his best choice.
He is not only responsible for supervision, but also for the technical side, of course, he is not an agricultural researcher himself, he is only responsible for the establishment of laboratories, the life of those technical researchers from the country.
"The fourth generation of saplings have been used, but the effect is not very good, and the professors in the laboratory are still conducting research on the main water resources and sandy soil!"
Fang Shishi said: "So the recent progress has been lowered a lot!"
"So serious?"
Song Shan suddenly felt that this matter might be worse than he imagined.
When they just walked out of the airport gate, they bumped into a group of people head-on, blocking the way, and Song Shan and his party could only stop.
Two groups of people are facing each other.
There was a person walking out from the opposite side, Song Shan knew him, he had seen it once in Jinling, Ilfani, who was an official Egyptian person.
He smiled and muttered in Arabic.
Gong Jian has an interpreter around him, naturally he can understand, and he wants to talk to Song Shan, but he didn't expect Song Shan to bring one with him, Mu Yu is an all-round talent, he is proficient in eight foreign Chinese languages, including Arabic, and many African languages, so Song Shan brought him.
Mu Yu translated directly to Song Shan next to him, and Song Shan immediately understood, but his eyes were a little weird.
"Alepf?"
He looked up and saw that the people behind Ilfani were indeed a bit pompous.
There was some surprise.
He also considered the importance that the Egyptians attached to abundance, but he didn't expect the Egyptian side to attach such importance to it, in fact, he knew that after all, the investment of 25 billion Egyptian pounds was still made by foreigners, and they couldn't pay attention to it if they wanted to.
But he still underestimated the importance that the Egyptians attached to themselves, and Alef actually came to the airport to greet him in person, which is not an ordinary attention, looking at this battle, it is not simple.
Alef is not a simple person, since Song Shan wants to cooperate with him, he has naturally investigated him, and here in Egypt, this person represents a force that is not simple.
"Song, I'm the Deputy Minister of Environment of Egypt, Alef, I represent Egypt, and welcome you to Egypt!" Alef smiled slightly, took a step, opened his mouth, and spoke fluent Chinese, but Song Shan was a little stunned.
To be honest, he has always felt that English is the mainstream of the world, although he doesn't want to admit it, but it will seem that Chinese is relatively lonely abroad, and there are too few people who can understand it.
But he went abroad twice, the first time in Australia, and the person in charge of Australia is also first-class fluent Chinese, with a proficient old Yanjing accent.
And the person in charge of Egypt in front of him, Alef, was very surprised that he could speak Chinese so fluently, which gave him a feeling that China's influence in the world was obviously rising.
"Alef, I am also very honored to hear you speak the native language of our country here!" Song Shan took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said with a smile.
"The Chinese language is broad and profound, and I have always learned it!"
Alepf shook hands with Song Shan, and then responded to Song Shan: "But I speak Chinese well, not because I taught myself, but because I once studied in the United States, but I have a classmate from China, and I learned my Chinese from him!"
