Chapter 585: What can you do with me?
Although the high salary of the geological team at home is low, it is less than 100 dollars a month, and now that it comes out, it will be 50 to 100 times that of this number if it is done well in a year!
Like the guys who were driving excavators and rollers on the runway, the guys who had retired from the Ministry of Mines and Railways -- they used to be railroad soldiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This operation machinery and actual construction experience is perfect, what difficult and difficult environment has been experienced, how to work hard for the boss in Africa now, work hard for yourself, every day without the technician to remind will take the initiative to work for eleven or twelve hours!
The same goes for technicians, when the construction workers work, they will accompany them on the front line until what time.
In the lazy continent of Africa, such construction efficiency can only be achieved by Chinese people!
It is bragging to be the first in the century in engineering efficiency, but according to Xiang Zhangsheng's words, if there is really a comparison, it is estimated that it is not a big problem to compete for the first place in Africa.
Those Chinese construction teams sent to Africa can create a construction speed that is shocking to the whole of Africa with an income that is not several times higher than the domestic wage, and this group of men in the mine is as long as the people can withstand it and the weather does not rain heavily, the machinery will not stop.
Located close to the railway between Harare and Beira, Mozambique's second largest economic centre and the main port of Beira, the mine needs construction machinery that can be unloaded from Mozambique's port, more than 200 kilometres away, and transported directly by rail to the construction site.
Although the Zimbabwean government has earned tariff money and Mozambicans have benefited a lot, this is southern Africa, and it would be nice to have modern machinery, and you can't force too much.
There is an airstrip here, and there is actually an airport in Um Tali more than ten kilometers southeast of the mine, but the runway there is only one kilometer long, and it is said to be an airport, and there are not a few planes landing in a month.
The whole airport is only two or three to watch the gate, can it be called the airport?
There were originally white farmers' farms in the mines, and although the economy has been sluggish in the past two years, the original "dirt airfield" that was built to provide the use of single-engine light agricultural aircraft is still there.
It is enough to have a runway of four or five hundred meters, anyway, sometimes some single-engine or double-engine light aircraft will take off and land, and it can be used.
There is an airport 10 kilometers away, why should it be repaired in the mine?
Not to be controlled by others!
With their own airports, the two companies in Zimbabwe and Botswana will be able to establish "air and underground routes", both of which are less than 900 kilometers away from each other, so that they can support each other in the event of a situation.
In addition, in southern Africa, except for South Africa, the air forces of various countries are better than nothing, and medium and low-altitude air traffic control is a legend.
Dozens of kilometers away, Mozambique is still fighting a civil war, as long as you don't fly the company's plane over someone else's capital, you can fly as you want.
Frequent take-off and landing of planes don't care?
To the northeast of the mine is the city, but it is also a super backward city, separated by a mountain beam, and unless the idlers go to the top of the mountain, the people in the city will not see planes taking off and landing.
Besides, this is Africa, and people don't care so much about you.
As for the other directions, the eastern border with Mozambique is mountainous areas more than 2,000 meters above sea level, and the southern 200 kilometers are sparsely lazy African countryside and semi-wilderness, which can be called a semi-independent country within a state.
Interestingly, some of the things that would not have happened in the developed world are also happening here: 2.3 kilometres northwest of the northern border of the mine is a large refinery, with an oil pipeline buried underground, which passed through Mozambique and was built 20 years ago.
The closest man-made structure is the low hill beam that has just been drilled, and between the mine and the refinery, 500 meters away from the mine is a large substation.
The good news is that there is no shortage of electricity, no shortage of water, and according to the agreement, all kinds of fuel oil can be obtained from the refinery at a preferential price of 10 percent above the ex-factory price.
The fuel supply is convenient, but the mine also went out of its way to buy a few large oil storage tanks and buried them directly underground.
The bad news is...... Bad news for Zimbabweans – they have exposed a city's electricity supply hub and most of the country's oil supply base to a foreign company!
It's not blowing, an M2 machine gun on a low hilltop shelf belonging to the mine can strafe the refinery, and replace it with a mortar, not to mention the 82 mm, 60 mm trial Type 87 mortar can cover the entire refinery.
So this will be said to Guan Xingquan, who was idle with Zhang Nan: "If you provoke us, a cannonball can make the guy who is on the engine in this country lie on his stomach for a few months!"
The people of Zimbabwe have obviously been cheated by this group of "Yankees", and they do not know that they have attracted such a "bad neighbor".
And it's close to the border, and in the thirty or forty kilometres to the east of the mountains lies a half-deserted resort that was once crowded with tourists in Rhodesian times, but now half-dead.
And just a week before Zhang Nan arrived here, a large area there, including the resort and the nearby large forest area, also became the property of Star International.
In this way, in addition to the forest area and mountain forest, the mine is already practically connected to neighboring Mozambique.
In this way, Zhang Nan is still not satisfied, this will be dealing with a white farmer near the foot of the mountain to the east, planning to buy his large farm, and engage in agriculture by the way.
It doesn't matter if the boss changes, the infrastructure, supply and marketing channels, and management personnel will still be there, plus the low salary level of agricultural workers here, Zhang Nan still has money to make.
The most important thing is that once the farm is bought up, the land is truly connected to the border.
Zimbabwe, what will you do with me then?
Of course, the United Nations can play Zhang Nan to death, but now he is Uncle Sam behind himself, and Huaxia is also happy to see the profits created, and it is estimated that it is unlikely that he will be wanted by the world.
According to the agreement, the mine guards can hold automatic weapons, and the cannons are not allowed, but who will obey them?
At present, the mine is still in the exploration stage, and it will not be until at least half a year before large-scale production will begin, and in the case of Mozambique next door, it is not too simple to transport a batch of heavy weapons similar to mortars to Hong Kong.
As for transporting to the mine, it is less than 300 kilometers away from the coast of the Indian Ocean, and almost all of them are primeval forests.
It was on the other side of the lengthened runway, and a plane was preparing to land.
As soon as I turned into the landing course, I touched the ground lightly, and I stopped after a distance of less than 200 meters, and I looked very maneuverable.
Good plane!
