The pomp and circumstance of the port city of Bebera in Solan was recorded by seafarers anchored in the harbor, and the news flew around the world as if it had grown wings.

All of a sudden, Solan, a third-world country that had no sense of existence until then, became the focus of the world.

In the days that followed, newspapers in many countries appeared in photographs of the docks in Solan Country, accompanied by press releases, some of which showed some of the things that were chasing after the wind, but others that were completely nonsensical.

I don't know what kind of riot happened in Solan, and only a few people in the know are thinking about their own investment path.

A newly cultivated barren land, containing unlimited business opportunities, this is a virgin land, finally someone made up their minds to be the first person to eat crabs, naturally there is no shortage of investors who heard the wind.

However, there are no high-class people with a lot of money who are not well-informed, and they are all shocked when they learn about the situation in Solan Country in the recent period from their respective sources.

It took less than a month from the fall of the Patriotic Junta to the regaining control of Solan by Orr Hanwen, and it was clear that something was about to change.

A very small number of media have also collected aerial photos taken outside the port of Bebela, all of which show that the cargo ships of Qiming Shipping Group are neatly aligned, which shows that this shipping group is one of the important partners supporting the development of Solan State.

When someone repaired the unclear aerial photos and saw the general situation on the freighter, he was shocked.

The freighters, carrying heavy weapons to show their muscles, such ships are connected into a piece, even if all the pirates of the entire Somali country are dispatched, they will not be able to shake the slightest, but will be wiped out.

When berthing at the ports of other countries, it is only necessary to pay a certain fee, and ask the governments of other countries to send people to temporarily seal the armaments, and there will be no hindrance.

(There are precedents, a little troublesome, but doable.) ）

"No wonder the Gulf of Aden has been calm in the past half a month, and there have been no pirates, it turns out that this is ......"

Some transnational shipping tycoons were still wondering why no one had reported incidents of piracy in the Suez Canal area recently, and it turned out that the Sergei family's fight against pirates had begun to take effect.

Although there were no heavy destroyers and other weapons of war, every cargo ship of the Qiming Shipping Group was armed with heavy weapons, which who could afford to provoke.

The use of freighters carrying heavy weapons to deter pirates can only be regarded as a palliative solution, and the pirates are not eliminated, but are so frightened that they will hide, and as long as the limelight passes, they will still come out to commit murder.

But at least, for some time, the security of the Gulf of Aden can be guaranteed.

That's enough, and it's all about dealing with other countries and the media.

"Check the information of Qiming Shipping Group, more or less owe them a favor. ”

International shipping tycoons don't care about the little money they have been extorted by pirates, but if the problem is solved, it is still worth rejoicing, so the name Wu Qian appears in more fields around the world.

At the same time, some well-intentioned people think of the incident in front of the Louvre more than a month ago from the combination of Wu Qian and Kurita, which shows that the relationship between Wu Qian and Kuretta is very intriguing.

The two have an extraordinary partnership.

There is always no shortage of long-term investors in the world, and many capitalists in Asia, Europe, and the United States have learned a very hidden information through their own information channels, that Solan is about to be recognized by the United Nations and become a sovereign state.

The news made those who were on the sidelines unable to sit still any longer.

If Solan cannot become a sovereign state, there will be many constraints on diplomacy and trade, and it will be difficult for capitalists to obtain legal protection for the benefits obtained in Solan.

But once Solan is recognized by the United Nations, becomes a sovereign state, and has a legitimate world status, all trade behaviors will be legal and compliant in the world.

On the third day of Solan Guo's recruitment, except for a very small number of projects that had to be at the forefront, the personnel had not been allocated, and there were already calls to the mobile phones of Kureta, Wu Qian and Yao Xinlu.

Originally, there would be no Yao Xinlu, but her name was known to the outside world along with Qiming Shipping.

Comparatively speaking, Kuretta is the person who receives the most negotiation calls, after all, he is the contemporary head of the old arms family of Mao Ziguo, and he has a certain reputation in the world.

The content of these calls is very similar, and all of them ask about investment, taxes, labor, transportation, etc.

Food, textile, rubber, clothing, leather...... There is an intention of capital in all fields to flow to the artificial and inexpensive Solan.

In just three days, it has already shown a thriving situation, but Wu Qian and Kuretta both politely shirked it on the phone with "wait for the United Nations to recognize and approve it before discussing it".

This phenomenon is very much in line with Wu Qian's original expectation, his vigorous development of Baipeila, but to play a brick-throwing effect, the ultimate goal is to promote the development of a country, and all his investment in the early stage can be rewarded from the later taxes.

If you want to pay taxes, of course, you need assets from the outside world to enter the Solan country, but there are some extremely important industries that will not be touched by others, such as the military, such as energy.

The development of things was originally smooth sailing, but just when Solan set sail and everyone was very optimistic about this economic ship, the United States cast a mirage on the sea level, which made many capitalists who were interested in investing in Solan hesitate instantly.

At a diplomatic press conference, the United States vaguely stated that it might not vote in favor of Solan at the UN General Assembly.

Originally, the United Nations is not the Congress of the United States, and so many countries have expressed their attitude in favor, and it does not matter whether the United States agrees or not, but the problem is not as simple as it seems.

In the final analysis, rice is still the world's largest economy, which affects the economic development of many countries openly and secretly, in other words, many countries have to look at the face of rice to live.

The attitude of the United States is ambiguous, and the attitude of many countries is also ambiguous.

On the morning of the last day of the recruitment period, in the col basin southeast of Baipeila, construction vehicles went back and forth, and more than 10 300-type excavators were digging underground.

This is the address of the military factory built by Kureta and Wu Qian.

In the beginning, Kureta only planned to build a small munitions factory, which was only used to produce light firearms, but as time went by and the situation changed, Wu Qian and Kureta continued to increase their military investment, and the scale of the munitions factory gradually expanded.

Judging from the drawings, the current munitions factory is more than ten times larger than the one originally conceived by Kuretta.

Even if it is to put into production of fighters and heavy armored vehicles and other armaments, as long as there is enough steel, there is no problem, if it is changed to the seaside, as long as there is technical support, it can be fully competent for the production of various warships.

When this munitions plant is completed, it will definitely be the first munitions factory in Africa.

Next to the construction site, in a makeshift tin house, the air conditioner was whirring, Wu Qian looked through the glass at the construction site in full swing, while Kureta walked back and forth, looking very restless.

"Kureta, are you uncomfortable with the heat, but isn't it even hotter when you walk around like this?"

Wu Qian said with a smile.

Kuredala pulled a face, and he knew that he was in a very bad mood at a glance, he heard Wu Qian's words, and said: "Wu, how can you be so calm, those guys in the United States Congress are simply too bastards, except for the rice dog in NATO countries, there are already eight countries with ambiguous attitudes." ”

NATO is the abbreviation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, with a total of 29 internal member states, which is a symbol of the United States' realization of superpower leadership.

Wu Qian said with a smile: "Eight countries are right, but you don't look at what kind of countries they are, whether it is military capability or GDP income, the eight countries together are not as good as half of Italy, not to mention Germany, Britain and France, look at what makes you nervous." ”

The corners of Kureta's mouth pulled down, and he was in a very bad mood, but he couldn't deny Wu Qian's words, those countries that followed the ambiguous country were nothing more than some small countries with a GDP of only tens of billions of dollars a year, and the real big countries all had their own firm positions.

"What we need to do now is to develop well, investment in military construction must be increased, you can find a way to do technical things, I will handle the funds, I don't care about the income from the arms sector, but at least occupy half of the African market, this is an influence, it is very necessary. ”

"Half ......" Kureta exclaimed, his face was very strange, he glanced at Yao Xinlu who was sitting on the side and several bodyguards standing at the door, pulled Wu Qian aside, and said softly: "Wu, we discussed that we would only do business with a few surrounding countries, but now you ...... I can't explain it to the above. ”

There are a total of 60 countries in Africa, and each country likes to buy weapons from Mao, followed by the Celestial Empire, and then the United States.

According to data from the past 10 years, 40 percent of Africa's total arms imports come from Maozi, 17 percent from the Celestial Empire, 11 percent from the United States, and the rest from sporadic business.

At the beginning, Kureta proposed to Wu Qian that while providing equipment for the Solan Patriotic Army, he should get at least 5% of the African arms market.

Expectations are high, but there is a bottom line, and some cakes are not easy to grab.

In the final analysis, there are many aspects of Kureta that depend on the military of Mao Ziguo, and many things have been negotiated before, all of which have been negotiated on the premise of not affecting each other's interests, and if the interests are violated, I am afraid it will not be so smooth.

What Kureta said could not be ignored, not only to take into account the interests of the Mao Ziguo, but also to take care of the interests of the Celestial Empire.

"In that case, it is still according to the twenty percent of the final agreement. Then you go and negotiate a contract with your country for the purchase of steel, and at the same time see if you can get a share of the arms business, so it's all right?"

Wu Qian came up with an idea.

Business is an exchange of interests, and a balance will always be found, and there is something to be said about exchanging steel orders for a share of arms, and Kuretta agreed to this errand.

After discussing the matter of munitions, Wu Qian left the construction site, he had other things to do.

In the afternoon, Wu Qian returned to Bebela.

Only five days have passed, and the city of Baipeira has changed, the demolition of dilapidated buildings is in full swing, and rows of tin mobile houses have appeared on the outskirts of the city.

Zhang Junrui was discussing the structure of the residential building with several designers, and he was very happy to see Wu Qian.

Zhang Junrui has received a notice from the Architectural Alliance College that he and Wei Yuting have both passed their dissertations and are eligible to graduate ahead of schedule, but the news will not be announced until the next year's graduation season.

"Mr. Wu, thank you very much for the graduation certificate. ”

Wu Qian said: "If you and Wei Yuting don't have real skills, I can't help you, by the way, have you done the planning of the gymnasium and museum that you told you before?"

"It's done, but the drawings are not around, you wait a minute, I'll get it." ”

After that, Zhang Junrui pulled his legs and was about to leave.

Before that, Wu Qian gave Zhang Junrui a small task to add a multi-purpose gymnasium and museum to the urban plan of Bebela.

Urban planning only needs to take into account the problems of transportation, radiation, etc., and it is not easy to make detailed drawings.

Zhang Junrui can still understand the construction of a multi-purpose gymnasium, but he can't understand from the beginning to the end, why build a museum in Bebera, is there anything that needs to be exhibited, or is it worth exhibiting?

Wu Qian stopped Zhang Junrui and didn't let him get the drawings.

"Don't be busy, I'm looking for you on other things this time. ”

Hearing Wu Qian's words, Zhang Junrui stood still and waited for the following.

Wu Qian said: "In the future, the amount of oil used here in Solan will definitely be not small, and a separate oil port needs to be set up." ”

Zhang Junrui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Mr. Wu, I have seen the design of the new port, the scale is large enough, if it is not a big crude oil exporter like Saudi Arabia, only considering the import of crude oil, the new port is fully competent." ”

Wu Qian didn't plan to announce the news of crude oil to the public now, he patted Zhang Junrui on the shoulder and said: "Considering the pollution and safety issues, let's build a separate oil port, I am acquiring an automobile company, and I may move the relevant scientific research over in the later stage, and the demand for crude oil will be very large." ”

"Okay, that's it, after making a plan, let's sum it up with others, don't make any mistakes in principle, I'm leaving, you're busy. ”

After speaking, Wu Qian left the construction site with people.

Zhang Junrui looked at the back of Wu Qian's departure, and was very puzzled in his heart, the fuel vehicle has entered the end of its life, is there any value worth engaging in scientific research?

"You're the boss, you have the final say......"

In the evening, Wu Qian talked with Lu Hao for a long time, instructed him many things, and then left Baipeila by plane overnight.
