After staying in Milan for another two days, Zhang Yida and his entourage took a private jet to Nilia.

This is the first time Zhang Yida has set foot on African soil.

Although it may feel unfamiliar, Ruixiang's African business unit has been rooted here for several years.

It has offices in several countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa.

In addition, there are also joint ventures jointly established by Ruixiang and Transsion Holdings in the African region, such as Chuanrui Financial Services and Transsion Music.

As soon as I got off the plane, I was greeted by the staff of Chuanrui Financial and local government officials who were waiting here.

Knowing that Zhang Yida would be coming to Nilia, the country's business and technology departments were extremely excited.

Because Jack Ma came to Africa once before, he announced that he would hold an African entrepreneur competition, and the Jack Ma Public Welfare Foundation would invest 10 million US dollars to discover, select and reward these entrepreneurial heroes in different industries and different industries in Africa.

The news came out and shook the whole of Africa!

It's a pity that the initiation took place in South Africa, which made some officials in Nilia regret.

In their opinion, Nigeria, as the largest country in Africa, is the most suitable country to host these events.

It's a pity that Jackma didn't choose them and went to South Africa.

Now there is a Chinese entrepreneur who is fiercer than Jack Ma and has more families, and they must hold on firmly.

The first stop of Zhang's tour of Africa was Nilia, which also gave the country's officials a sense of importance and respect.

In addition, Ruixiang and Chuanrui also have a lot of technology investment in Africa, and a large part of it is scattered in Nilia, the most populous country.

Therefore, whether it is to promote Nilia to also hold a similar entrepreneurial competition, to steal the limelight from South Africa.

It is a good opportunity to negotiate with Ruixiang to increase investment cooperation.

In this regard, the Nilia government department attaches great importance to it.

Zhang Yida looked at the team that came to greet him, with different skin colors, including yellows, whites, and blacks, and there were several teams of black military police with loaded guns standing not far away.

This battle is the first time we have encountered it.

Zhang Yida had already learned in advance from the African staff that officials would come to pick him up, but he was not surprised.

There was no civil strife in Nilya, but the law and order was not good, guns were rampant, kidnappings and robberies were commonplace.

Twenty or thirty military police were sent to protect the safety of his trip to Niria, which was also a normal reception.

As the CEO of Chuanrui Technology, Cao Lu is responsible for the Internet holding parent group jointly created by Ruixiang and Transsion, which has a number of Internet brands.

After he received a call from Zhang Yida to come to Nilya, he rushed over without stopping.

After learning the news, the officials of Nilia behaved very positively, and they must come to the airport to greet the friend of the people of Nilia - Mr. Zhang Yida from Ruixiang Group.

Cao Lu has been in Nilia for so many years, and he knows that this is to show favor to Mr. Zhang, so that he can attract investment in the future.

It was difficult for him to refuse these officials, and after consulting Zhang Yida, he also brought these people over.

Cao Lu took the lead in the front, shook hands with Zhang Yida, and said with a smile: "Welcome to Nilia from Mr. Zhang!"

Then, Cao Lu introduced several black buddies on the side, all of whom were officials from the science and technology and business departments.

Zhang Yida shook hands with these people one by one and talked for a few words.

Cao Lu pointed to a white man next to him and introduced: "This is Greg Reeves, CEO of PalmPay, who was previously the global head of M-PESA, the mobile payment business of Kenyan telecom operator Safari, and has more than 10 years of experience in the field of mobile payment. ”

Reeves took two steps forward and stretched out his right hand towards Zhang Yida with a smile, "Hello Mr. Zhang, welcome to beautiful Lagos." ”

Lan Lan has always been responsible for dealing with the CEOs of these overseas e-wallet subsidiaries before, and Zhang Yida has heard of Reeves, but it is the first time he has met each other in reality.

"You're Reeves?"

Zhang Yida smiled, holding the other party's hand and shaking it vigorously, "I know you, you did a good job." ”

After receiving Zhang Yida's compliment, Reeves was not as modest as the Chinese employees, but smiled and thanked Zhang Yida for the praise.

Zhang Yida shook hands with several other executives of the joint venture company stationed in Africa and got to know everyone present.

Shen Beipeng and Xu Xiaoming also followed Zhang Yida to Europe, and stood next to Zhang Yida with a smile at the moment.

Mr. Zhang introduced the two to several African executives and officials, and the two sides exchanged salutes.

Wang Yiduo saw that even the army was dispatched, so she leaned over her sister and whispered: "Brother-in-law's face is really not small!"

Zhao Erya wanted to scare her, so she threatened: "There is still a war here, can you not send an army? I told you not to follow, but you didn't listen."

I'll tell you, don't leave our sight, stay in the hotel honestly. ”

Wang Yiduo smiled slyly, "Don't lie to me, it's 9012, and you can find everything on the Internet."

Nilia didn't fight a big war, but there were many small armed conflicts.

In the main oil-producing areas of the southeast, there are armed groups that have been attacking foreign oil companies for a long time.

In the multi-ethnic and religiously mixed Jos region in the centre, there have been vendettas and bombings.

In the north and north-east, there are tribal and religious conflicts.

The social order is not very good, but there is no war!

You can rest assured, I'm such an old person, I won't run around like a child. ”

Zhang Yida greeted them here, and several bodyguards such as Qian Li, Luo Xiaohu, and Qin Lin followed the military police and the armed security guards hired by Chuanrui Company to begin to inspect the vehicle.

Cao Lu noticed this scene and didn't say anything.

Luo Xiaohu and others took the instrument and carefully checked several Mercedes-Benzes, and did not let go of a single detail.

There were a lot of bombings on Nilia's side, and they knew that Zhang Yida would come to this country, and several people had already organized a meeting and raised the security level by several levels.

After Luo Xiaohu and the others finished checking, Zhang Yida followed the group into the car.

There were more than a dozen vehicles in the entire convoy, and there were also police cars in front and behind to escort and clear the way.

Zhang Yida and Zhao Erya sat in the car, looking at the scenery of Lagos through the glass.

Nilia is Africa's largest economy and most populous country, with a population of nearly 200 million and a GDP per capita of more than $2,000.

The largest city in Nilia is the former capital of Lagos, with a population of 21 million, and the country's status is comparable to that of China, if not surpassed.

Lagos is a port city with a strong trade and trade, controlling 90% of the country's foreign trade, 80% of imports and exports, and 70% of manufacturing.

Chinese companies that go overseas are basically concentrated in this region.

The branch of Tranche in Nilia is no exception, and it is also located in Lagos.

According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 100,000 Chinese in Lagos, all of whom are small bosses, entrepreneurs, or employees sent by large domestic enterprises to Africa.

The convoy drove past the bridge by the sea, Zhang Yida looked at the endless and breathtaking blue sea and straight coastline outside the window, and hurriedly called Zhao Erya to come and see.

"It's good!"

Zhao Erya commented, then pointed to a pier in the distance and asked, "You see there are a lot of yachts." ”

Zhang Yida nodded, "It should have been bought by the powerful people of Nilia and the big bosses of foreign companies." ”

Zhao Erya pointed to the window on her side again and said, "Come and see here." ”

Zhang Yida stretched out his head to see children and women lined up on the side of the road, ragged and unkempt, blocking passers-by from begging.

"Hey, heaven on one side, hell on the other. ”
