Jenny sat down on the sofa on the side, asked the servant to get a cup of coffee, then sighed slightly, and said to Zhang Nan: "If only one Zimbabwe is simple, this southern African 'granary, bread basket' can't bear this trip, and several other countries are worse than the other."

Last year's widespread drought was no less severe than the one 10 years ago, and in '84 Zimbabwe was able to support its African brothers who were affected by the disaster.

Mozambique, Zambia, Namibia and the entire south-east of Angola are in severe drought, and it is estimated that at least 3 million tonnes of maize will be needed to survive the drought and reduce starvation. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Nan frowned and said, "Last time I went to Botswana, I didn't find a drought, the tribe is living a good life, and I haven't heard about the reduction in grain production. ”

Botswana is sandwiched between the affected countries, and there is no reason why there is no reason why this part of the country is not affected by the disaster;

However, Zhang Nan is not worried about what the people below are doing to report good news or bad news, he is not a child, let alone blind, the drought is not visible, and he can't be bombarded below, so there is no need to coax.

The drought is just a drought, if the grain harvest really fails and the animal husbandry suffers a blow, it is enough to spend money on grain to survive.

He is not an ancient emperor, and he still has money, and it is very simple to buy grain in large quantities in the international market these days, and it is all trivial.

I didn't think that Jenny crooked her mouth and said: "There are only a few people and a few hectares of arable land in Botswana, and how much money have you spent there over the years?"

With dozens of reservoirs, large and small, a bunch of deep wells and reservoirs, new irrigation systems, and agricultural and animal husbandry production technologies imported from China and the United States, the drought is not a problem.

Allen, the whole of Southern Africa, except for South Africa's agricultural infrastructure, is almost blank, and even if there is, it is very primitive.

Countries outside Africa have built agricultural infrastructure for at least hundreds or hundreds of years, and in the case of China, some water conservancy facilities that were more than 2,000 years ago are still functioning.

However, in southern Africa, almost all of them depend on the weather for food, and when the rainy season is insufficient, it becomes a disaster.

3 million tons of corn is only a few hundred million dollars, but they don't have it, even if they do, the sea freight step is easy to say, but the distribution of trains and car transportation is enough for those poor countries to have a headache.

The staff of the group saw this as an opportunity, an opportunity for us to develop our presence in southern Africa. ”

There are two kinds of aid, paid aid and gratuitous aid, and if they are handled well, both can produce results - at first glance, a lot of gratuitous aid is to be the culprit, but in fact, in many cases, the long-term benefits generated by gratuitous aid are dripping.

Of course, there are exceptions to the Vietnamese monkey and the white-eyed wolf of Albania.

As for paid aid, it basically doesn't need money to buy, most of it is bartered, or some kind of interest exchange, the big deal is that the conditions are more favorable, and some can also be paid on credit, installment delivery, or something.

Don't look at "paid", it is actually helping people, just like borrowing money, if someone can borrow a large amount of emergency money at a monthly interest rate of one cent, one cent and five cents per month, it is helping you!

André also sees this as a good opportunity, as many Africans do not have a deep understanding of the country, and the company has a lot to do to expand its presence in southern Africa.

It can be done with corn and flour, which is much simpler and more economical than tanks and artillery.

"How did those experts study it, and how much do we plan to help?" Zhang Nan asked.

"It's 500,000 tons, 200,000 tons to Botswana, and the rest of the proportion has to be divided into one cent, almost 100 million US dollars. Add 50,000 tons of flour and flour is a lot more expensive..."

Jenny had already heard the debriefing.

The top rich people love to do charity, Zhang Nan is a capitalist, and the mining group under the Sunshine Star Group is a capital group that knocks out the bone and squeezes the marrow, and also likes to do charity, or do it all over the world!

Give one or two hundred million, and you can get a tenfold or hundredfold return in the future, this is the operation of capitalists!

Marx said that capitalism came into the world, dripping blood and filth from head to toe, from head to toe, and every pore was not a joke, but an ironclad fact.

Simply giving for nothing, the capitalists are not so kind.

Rwanda also needs assistance, but fortunately, the amount does not need to be too large, there are only man-made disasters there for the time being, and natural disasters have not been brought to the scene.

The aid is to rob the business of the United Nations, who makes Zhang Nan rich, and the money sent out can get back greater benefits.

Zhang Nan will not participate in the specific implementation issues, and even Jenny will not spend too much energy to pay attention to it, and there is a team responsible for this kind of project within the group.

The group is big, there are all kinds of talents and departments, if everything is asked, the leader will be tired, just grasp the key points and the general direction.

The manor is a little busy today, and in the evening His Excellency the Vice President of the United States will come as a guest, and the main purpose of this trip is still because of the Rwandan problem.

However, what Zhang Nan didn't expect was that Gore said something else after the meal.

"I heard something some time ago, Allen, how many more bullet production lines are your company going to buy from Russia?"

In the smoking room, Gore said coldly.

Bullet production lines are not a rare thing, especially for Americans, and they are common.

Because there are large and small production lines of this kind, there are a lot of them in the United States, and the number is very large: in addition to the military, those civilian ammunition factories are actually production lines, and many companies still have many production lines for the production of different types of bullets.

This will unite forces in the Gambia There are several production lines with different production capacities, NATO standards, Soviet-style standards.

Among them, the NATO standard is a small fight, and if the Soviet-style production line is fully powered, the number of 5.45 and 7.62 mm assault rifle cartridges and 7.62 mm machine gun cartridges that leave the factory every day will be very large!

The company has hoarded an astonishing amount of Soviet-style ammunition, which will make some ammunition depots in Ukraine, Russia and other places already belong to the joint forces, but they are more assured that they have production capacity, even if they try the machine once a month, and even the supporting propellant factory has moved over.

There is no need to be too secretive about this matter, it is a normal arms trade, and it is just a big deal to hang on the head of the Gambian government.

What the vice president said was that the "Botswana government" wanted to buy two bullet production lines, and it had not planned to keep them secret before, one of which needed the M43 bullet, which was the most used in southern Africa.

Since the vice president asked, Zhang Nan said: "Yes, there is this plan, even if it is more expensive to produce it myself than to buy it, in the southern African region, my company must also have a certain degree of self-sufficiency."

Besides, it's a business, there's a problem?"

It's not about building ballistic missiles, it's still in southern Africa, Zhang Nan thinks that Washington is absolutely too lazy to care, and even happy.

Black Africa, that is the traditional territory of Britain and France, Washington wishes that there is as much chaos as possible!

Sure enough, Gore smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem!"

But William and I have a suggestion, I wonder if you can change the production line of one of the M43 shells to a different seller.

The price may be a little more expensive than that of the Russians, and this Washington will give side compensation from other policies and government procurement orders, and will not let you suffer. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Nan stared at Gore for a while, and the latter didn't feel embarrassed.

"For whom?"

"The Korean Peninsula. ”

"You know I hate politics, but I'm not stupid enough to think of me as a gunman, the number one power in the universe, hehe... It's kind of interesting.

I can't talk about the question of what kind of reactor is replaced?"

"That's not true, it's just to let the civil forces intersperse and ease the atmosphere, because a humanitarian crisis is about to break out there.

And now the Jin family will definitely welcome your forces to do business with them, at most with Botswana as a cover. ”

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "Don't tell me that there is no crisis, we Oriental people hate this statement, this crisis and that crisis, the sesame mung bean is a big thing, just call the crisis, nothing to talk nonsense!"

Today, they all told me that they were short of food, and you discussed it?"

The vice president looked confused...

"Don't talk about that.

I know they're going crazy hungry right now, I don't know what you think, one end shouting and shouting and killing, and the other end has to send food there.

The whole world knows that those will basically become military rations, no matter how much you send, Albert, the United States or that extremely evil American imperialist evil country knows?

Politics, what a hassle!"

Albert Gore smiled and said, "It's a problem, you just think it's a favor for us, it's just business." ”

Zhang Nan thought for a while and said, "I have to ask my family's opinion, and..."

Stopped, got up, walked to the telephone, and made a call.

It's not a call to the family, it's to find Andre.

"Ask you something, what is the quality of North Korea's bullets?... Okay, got it. ”

Although Andrei didn't know why the boss asked, he answered very clearly: "They are not very good with engines, and those with warheads are quite reliable!"
