Chapter 1035 One Belt One Road
Having said that, Fu Soya is too far away, Jing Jian doesn't have the leisure to care, and he can't be busy with domestic affairs.
Because the visit was secret and not made public, Jing Jian was soon transferred to Busancho's private residence in the suburbs. After meeting, Busanjo smiled and asked, "Old friend, why would you be interested in coming to our Heilan City this time?"
Jing Jian noticed that there was a hint of unnaturalness in Bousancho's smile. There are no impermeable walls in the world, and he should have sensed something to some extent. The taste of mermaid meat will never be pleasant, and it may be bearable on the surface, but it will never be willing in the heart.
Jing Jian smiled very calmly: "Of course I have something to say to my old friend." I think friends should be honest with each other......"
Then Jing Jian unreservedly told Busancho what he had discussed with Dr. Locke, of course, involving some irrelevant and confidential details, so there was something to hide. But basically everything is tray-trayed.
After hearing these words, Busancho's expression became very strange. What does this mean? Why didn't you even ask yourself, but you took the initiative to say it?
Jing Jian explained with a smile: "I'm not a diplomat, and I don't know how to say those diplomatic words that make people guess. And we are friends, and the interests of our friends are definitely prioritized. First of all, the issue of independence or freedom of Heilan City, it is up to you to choose, we Chinese do not like to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, I personally like to win with friends. ”
Bousancho's expression was a little heartbroken. The principle of rather being a chicken head is very attractive everywhere.
Jing Jian smiled slightly and continued: "Busancho, in fact, no matter what choice you make, the authorities of Fusoya will never give up the wealth here in Heilan City. What will be the choice of the politicians who oppose you? You certainly know this better than we do. But there is one thing that cannot be changed, you want to rely on the balance of external forces and try to get as much benefit as possible for yourself. That's true, but it's no longer realistic. But now that the external forces have taken the initiative to unite, how can you take the initiative into your own hands? This will be a test of your wisdom. ”
"Oh?" said Bousancho, leaning back on the couch.
Jing Jian understands very well that Busanjo does not represent just himself, but a group of people, although he also has a very important position in this group of people, but at this time he represents their common interests, and some things cannot be decided by themselves, just a microphone.
"It's a matter of diplomatic choice. As a small and poor country, Fusoya definitely needs to depend on a certain big country to survive. If it was the Cold War period, you would be able to move on the left and right, and you would indeed have a certain amount of room for survival, and even if you were more skillful, you could still get a lot of benefits. However, in the current international situation, the Western countries led by the United States are dominant, and they no longer need to win over their allies extensively, and even if they join them, they will not reap much economic benefits. Of course, no matter how little the benefits are, there will always be millions of dollars. But it depends on what you need, do you need an extra number in your Swiss bank account, or do you want to rule the city for a long time?"
"First of all, I would like to confess to you, if there is more money directly, we in China really can't come up with that many dollars. The influence in Africa is also far less than that of the Western countries, so from practical reasons, we can only choose to ally with them. However, the purpose of China's joining the alliance is not to squeeze you as hard as those Western countries do, but to achieve mutual benefit, but also to hope that you will rapidly develop the economy and form a virtuous circle of common prosperity. ”
"Therefore, the reason why I am meeting you this time is to exchange views. If you have any requests, we can agree to what we can do. It's not that there are no common interests, and what can be agreed on can be resolved one by one......"
“......”
Jing Jian was quite frank and pointed out a way for Busancho - no external forces can be relied on, the key is to rely on yourself!
If Busancho wants to sit firmly in this position, relying on foreign forces to quench his thirst, he may be abandoned at any time, but as long as he has the support of the local people in Heilan City, then his position will become more and more stable, and it will be difficult for external forces to find opportunities to intervene.
Of course, the truth is understood, and the key is how to do it. Jing Jian pointed out that it is necessary to vigorously develop the economy, and we cannot simply rely on the oil economy.
For example, open farms for rent and vigorously encourage aquaculture. Africa's natural conditions are relatively good, and there is no shortage of farmland at all. What is lacking is nothing more than water conservancy construction, fertilizers, agricultural tools and other products, especially in Heilan City, where there are still large areas of coastal water. Rather than being so idle and wasteful, it is better to simply contract with foreign parties.
As for who will come over to contract? Then put 120 hearts! Which one is stronger in farming? Which flower grower is more modest and says second, which one dares to call it first?
Previously it was just not known, and there was no one to organize. Now it is completely possible to rely on Jing Jian to join forces with the local people of Heilan City. First of all, the lease fee can be temporarily advanced by Jing Jian, and after the lease of those wastelands, the agricultural products produced can be supplied to the local market, which can not only ensure stability, but also buy people's hearts.
As for Bousanjo's high-level executives, they can control the sale of bulk agricultural products, and even export the excess, which can be played with a lot of tricks, which is also quite beneficial to their own wallets.
In addition, after a few years of land reclamation, these farms still need to pay taxes, which is also very beneficial to the local finances.
The second is to encourage local industry and commerce. And there are also some deep processing industries of crude oil. Jing Jian also promised to build several cement factories, building materials factories, wood processing plants, and so on.
The technical requirements of these factories themselves are very low, and the added value of the products is not high, if imported, the expensive is the freight, it is better to export some machinery and equipment to build factories locally. There is also a local demand for these products in Heilan City, which can increase the local tax revenue and employment rate.
Finally, there are some light industries for Europe, such as shoes, hats, clothing, textiles, etc. Since European and American countries have textile quotas for China, they have actually reached the bottleneck of exports. On the contrary, there is no such quota for Africa, and such curve exports can digest part of China's production capacity, such as zippers, buttons and other accessories, and can also increase domestic capital.
After all, domestic investment is mainly in machinery, and many textile mills and light industry factories themselves are cutting production and going out of business, and even have access to equipment from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. It's better to use it here to cultivate a new market.
But this makes Jing Jian feel a little funny, isn't this the idea of the Belt and Road strategy?
