660 Africa Model Project Package Development Plan
"Mr. President, these missiles are now in the testing stage and have not yet been ......finalized," Xie Kai said with a frown. "In addition, in terms of compensation, we need to pay the bill from you first, and then you will settle the bill with us. β
Kabila was a little disappointed.
Xie Kai looked at him, and if the other party canceled the order, he wouldn't say anything.
Kabila is so desperately needed anti-tank missiles, what are they used for?
Mobutu simply didn't have many tanks for him to fight, and even if there were, those tanks wouldn't even be much more expensive than missiles.
"Okay, let's sign the contract first, and the equipment money compensated by the mercenary group will be transferred directly to your account, and the rest of the part paid for in gold will be delivered and then settled, how about it?" Kabila asked Xie Kai.
Xie Kai naturally agreed.
After sending Kabila away, Xie Kai pondered in his room for a while, unable to figure out what Kabila wanted so many anti-tank missiles for, and finally put this matter aside first, and discussed it with Zheng Yucheng, Wang Guilin and others after returning to China.
For Xie Kai's new anti-tank missile, Ibrahim is constantly probing to know the details.
Tank-to-tank combat, facing their enemies with the same same tanks, naturally no problem. However, the Iraqi infantry lacked an effective strike against the armored forces of the Persians.
The anti-tank bazookas, anti-tank missiles supplied by the Soviets, were all from more than twenty years ago.
But Shakai didn't want to talk to Ibrahim about it.
After seeing the wreckage of the M48 and AXM-30 tanks burned to scrap metal in two battlefields in Kabez, and then asking the reliable armored officers under Jabry, the answer was that even if the same number of tanks as the enemy were used, or even twice as many, it would be difficult to obtain such results, and the same number of 359 tanks was possible.
As for obtaining such results with 11 tanks, 11 armored vehicles, unless you get a large number of anti-tank missiles in the hands of the Chinese.
How many anti-tank missiles were used by the River Crab mercenary group, not many people know.
They simply did not know that before the start of the war, the CIA sent a batch of anti-tank M72 rocket launchers!
Ibrahim just wanted to know how much he would be rewarded by President Silly Oki if he equipped the infantry with such missiles and gave them the ability to deal with armored forces.
"General, please rest assured, we have worked together for such a long time, and there will definitely be no problems. Sell! Definitely have to sell! But we have to deal with Burundi first. Xie Kai replied.
If he doesn't talk about this with Ibrahim now, Xie Kai naturally has his own plans, after all, the previous contract was negotiated between Ibrahim and Bagaza.
He needed Ibrahim to help him talk to Bagaza about Burundi's mining rights and infrastructure.
The fighting in Burundi is as initially assumed.
The armored units of the River Crab Mercenary Regiment entered Bujumbura without the slightest resistance.
The original plan was to capture Yobuya alive, but he didn't expect that under the protection of the mercenaries of the CIA, the Cabetz blockade had just ended, and he secretly escaped.
Bagaza successfully regained power.
For a place like Africa, where coups d'Γ©tat are possible every day, a new government is formed, and there are no too complicated people, but only to purge the enemy's men and those who have betrayed them, and promote those who are loyal to them.
So, when Shekai arrived in Bujumbura on the third day after the end of the Cabez War, there was no trace of the war in sight.
Before Xie Kai met Bagaza, Ibrahim and Bagaza had already communicated.
"Thank you very much!" Bagaza received Xie Kai and his entourage at the presidential palace, which had been taken away by Yobuya for almost half a month, "My Minister of Mines and Minister of Industry Kamatya and Prime Minister Alan Ma are here, and we can talk about the specific details of the cooperation between the two sides." β
"It just so happens that these are the representatives of our domestic investors, involving mining, smelting, infrastructure and other ......," Xie Kai said, pointing to Fang Qiang, star fruit and Tan Lin.
Mao Wenfeng, Chen Yu and others also followed, and they were stunned that Xie Kai communicated so casually with the president of a country.
Although it is a small country, people are also the president of a country, right?
Lao Fang and Sister Tao glanced at each other, and they both saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
What I heard before is completely different from what I see with my own eyes now.
Even Tan Lin didn't expect that Xie Kai could have such a good relationship in Africa.
Xie Kai didn't care about these people's thoughts, and as soon as his words came out, Kamatya, an African aunt, and Alan Ma both looked at Bagaza with dissatisfaction.
"Your Excellency, in order to regain power, did you exchange mining rights with them?" Kamatitya's face was serious, "If you want to change the backward appearance of Burundi, it is impossible to rely on agriculture and animal husbandry alone. The only thing that can be developed is the mining industry......"
Exchanging mining rights for political power is a complete loss of power and humiliation of the country.
Anyone who hears it will not be comfortable.
Mr. Bagaza looked at Mr. Shakkai, who had said that he would convince his cronies and officials that they would agree to cooperate, as long as Mr. Bagaza was willing to give the mining rights.
"Madam Minister, Mr. Prime Minister, I would like to ask how your country can develop its mining industry without foreign participation?" Xie Kai asked the two.
The short and fat Kamatya was sluggish, and Xie Kai's words happened to ask about Burundi's weakness.
Like other poor African countries, Burundi is rich in minerals that it has no way to exploit.
"What's the difference between you and the capitalists in the West, just for mining, not really helping us!" said Kamatitya, with an angry face. "You mine, what do we get?"
"Taxes, infrastructure, a lot of jobs, and even the creation of a rudimentary industrial system. Xie Kai said calmly.
Burundi, however, is ready to build a model country for China-Africa cooperation.
Therefore, it is not like those capitalists in Western countries, who only care about their own interests, regardless of the situation of African countries, and even do not pay taxes, and the president is disobedient, just spend money to change the president.
"How can you guarantee it?" said Kamatitya, whose face was full of disbelief.
Even Prime Minister Alan Ma was sneering.
It's nice to say, and it's a fart.
Xie Kai knew they didn't believe it.
If there is no diamond, it is natural that there is no porcelain work.
"Madam Minister, Mr. Prime Minister, how to guarantee it, I really don't know. You can listen to my proposal first, and if you still think that we are for your country's resources, we can not cooperate. Xie Kai said.
The two men looked at President Yobua suspiciously.
Even Lao Fang and Tan Lin also set their eyes on Xie Kai.
I didn't say anything detailed about the cooperation plan before.
"Thank you, tell my Prime Minister and Minister about your plan. I'll just wait for you to convince them, or I'll be labeled as a loss of power and humiliation. Bagaza wondered what was going on.
But on the surface, he pretended to be as if he knew, and just asked Xie Kai to talk about the plan, so as to show that he, the president, did not betray the country.
In order to regain power, Bagagen did not think about it in detail.
Seeing the combat ability of the river crab mercenary group, I had no idea.
"Since your country is a predominantly agricultural and animal husbandry country, agriculture and animal husbandry account for a large proportion. So, in the process of cooperation, we must first help increase the production of food and cash crops in Burundi......" Xie Kai sighed.
It is a pity that the Minister of Agriculture of Burundi is not here.
This is the case in most countries in Africa, where agriculture and animal husbandry are the mainstay, and due to the policies of the Western colonizers at that time, most countries have a single economic structure and low production efficiency.
"How to increase production should be discussed with our Minister of Agriculture. Alan Ma said coldly.
Xie Kai: This is nonsense.
"Fertilizers are needed to increase agricultural production, and feed is needed for livestock to develop. Xie Kai said calmly, "So, before we talk about cooperation, I can use the relationship between our unit to build an interest-free loan for the construction of a fertilizer factory and a feed factory for returning to China......"
In this way, it is related to industry.
There are no fertilizer factories or feed mills in Burundi.
In the whole of African countries, there are not a few.
"Burundi has abundant peat resources, but it also has a lot of phosphate...... The fertilizer and feed produced can be exported to neighboring countries after satisfying their own use......"
Peat is the coal with the lowest degree of coalification, which can not only be used as fuel, but also as organic fertilizer, and because it is rich in a variety of compounds, in the chemical industry, protein feed, biological growth agents and plant stimulants can be extracted.
At present, peat is only used as fuel.
Hearing Xie Kai's words, Kamatya suddenly became happy.
As the Minister of Mines and Industry, she can only make up her mind about the mineral resources that the country has.
Xie Kai undoubtedly pointed out a path for her.
Even so, there is no problem.
"That's great, but if all the processing plants and so on are in your hands......" Kamatya regained her composure, rejoicing.
The Chinese are painting cakes for them.
It's no different from those people in Europe and the United States, isn't it?
It's just that it's upgraded, and it's not so red.
"No, we're not going to take it all into our own hands. Xie Kai shook his head and said, "Cooperation was originally for a win-win situation, we invested, and we made profits." Of course, we have to consider the interests of our partners. Therefore, according to our method of attracting investment in China, we will establish joint ventures in these industries. β
Xie Kai did not say what aspects of the joint venture were established.
Even so, it made Kamatya really happy.
Xie Kai wants absolute control, there is no problem.
There are not many professionals and management talents in Burundi.
"Regarding the nickel ore with the largest reserves in your country, this is a mineral resource that is in high demand in our country. Xie Kai changed the subject again.
Burundi, a small country with just over 20,000 square kilometers and less than 30,000 square kilometers, has nickel ore reserves of 300 million tons with a grade of 1.5 and nickel reserves of up to 4.5 million tons. In China, nickel ore is only 9 million tons.
In order for a big country to develop, it needs a huge amount of resources.
Nickel is a very versatile thing, whether it is military or civilian.
Stainless steel, high-nickel alloy steel, and alloy structural steel are all indispensable for nickel. In the military industry, aircraft, radar, missiles, tanks, ships, spaceships, atomic reactors, etc. are used extensively.
The more powerful engine of the fighter jet is indispensable.
Xie Kai is not rare in Burundi's gold, but rare in nickel.
At this point, Tan Lin has the same idea as him.
"You want the right to mine nickel?" asked Camadia, warily.
Nickel is a very valuable thing in the international market, and it is also the most valuable in Burundi after gold.
"No, we want nickel!" Xie Kai said, "Mr. Tan Lin represents a huge mining company, and he doesn't just want to get nickel ore, after all, in Burundi, there is no access to the sea." β
Tan Lin received Xie Kai's signal and hurriedly said, "That's true." As for the nickel ore in your country, we can cooperate in mining, or we can mine it in your country, and we will invest in a smelting plant to directly transport high-purity nickel back to China......"
I talked to Xie Kai before.
Tan Lin felt that instead of spending a lot of effort to transport the raw ore back to China, it would be better to smelt it here directly and transport high-purity nickel ingots back to China.
The cost is much lower, and the profit is much higher.
"We don't have the capacity to mine nickel ore and we don't have the capacity to build smelters...... "Bagaza reminded his own Minister of Industry.
Kamatya rolled her eyes at the president and didn't speak.
Looking at the small movements of the two, Xie Kai's mind moved, could there be any unspeakable secrets between the two?
"Joint venture!" Tan Lin looked at Xie Kai, saw him nodding, gritted his teeth and said, "We will contribute capital, technology, land, policies, etc., and then calculate equity according to all this." However, there is a requirement that you be responsible for the infrastructure, especially the power plant......"
In the nickel mine near Kabanga, Tan Lin was tempted from knowing that Xie Kai could get the mining rights.
Big investment?
No problem, if the initial capital is small, just do it slowly, and wait until there is money later, and then continue to expand the scale.
Private companies are not allowed to get involved in large-scale mines in China.
In Burundi, there is not much electricity supply, there is no power plant, everything is in vain.
"No problem, we can build a dedicated power plant!" said Camatia without hesitation.
Alan Ma frowned, "Kamatya, we don't have the funds, we don't have the technology......"
The problem of power plants is not so easy to solve.
Even in Bujumbura, the power supply is not guaranteed.
"Isn't there a thank you?" Kamatya smiled and pushed the question to Xie Kai.
Xie Kai did not object.
Anyway, these are all in his plans.
From ore mining to preliminary smelting to some low-tech primary processing, he intends to help Burundi set up.
The whole plan is an economic package that Xie Kai called a model project in Africa.
At that time, as long as he can intervene in the country, it will become the first stop for Chinese enterprises to go abroad.
At the same time, these countries that have established initial industrial systems will become their primary suppliers of raw materials.
"I think it will be difficult to carry out such a huge project without the support of your government, and the funds needed are too huge...... Bagaza also smacked his lips at Shekai's plan.
