Chapter 1074: Africa Layout
A list of new AIDS drugs has caused a stir in many countries. No one expected that it would be so noisy, and it would even cause a crisis in many countries.
Seeing this situation, those countries also urgently sent people to China, hoping to solve the problem.
As for the outcome, it will depend on the negotiation between the two sides. Anyway, no matter how you negotiate, it is impossible to have them in the first list, and you will have to wait for the second list.
In the first list, there are dozens of African countries. This makes these African countries very happy, knowing that the region where AIDS is most prevalent is Africa.
Now there are dozens of African countries on the first list of Longteng Group, and it said that it will use the shortest possible time to make all African countries free of charge this new AIDS drug.
This news made the African people happy. Although Africa is poor, they also know the terrible disease, everyone cherishes their own lives, and who wants to die if they can live.
Mauritania, a North African country. With an area of 1,037,000 square kilometers, it is very large, but the population is only five million.
The land is vast and sparsely populated, and two-thirds of the area is desert. Mauritania is an extremely underdeveloped economy and is a poor country with a GDP of only $5 billion.
AIDS is not serious in Mauritania, and there are more than 20,000 AIDS patients. It accounts for a relatively small proportion of the population.
Curiously, however, Mauritania was included in the first list. The news made the people of Mauritania very happy.
And the government of Mauritania is very happy. Because this time it is not only the AIDS vaccine that comes, but also the investment from China.
Chinese investors, led by Longteng Group, want to come to Mauritania to invest. The first investment projects were in steel.
A steel company in China is preparing to build a large steel plant here in Mauritania.
Mauritania has iron ore resources, with reserves of up to 8.7 billion tons. Iron ore is also the main export of Mauritania every year.
The margins of exporting iron ore are very thin, and even African countries know that exporting mineral resources is the least cost-effective.
But they have no way, no capital, no technology, no way to refine iron ore, and no way to make these things into industrial products.
Now there is hope, and Huaxia investors want to build steel enterprises here.
In addition to making iron and steel here, we are also preparing to invest in factories to further make the steel into industrial products.
Moreover, Huaxia Enterprises is also preparing to build a huge industrial zone in Mauritania. This industrial zone is open to the whole world.
Africa has a lot of mineral resources, and it is very rich in mineral resources here. The plan of Huaxia enterprises is to use these mineral resources to build factories in Africa to manufacture products and then export them to the world.
Such news is like a golden pie in the sky for Mauritania. The scale of the entire industrial zone is very large, with an initial investment of tens of billions of dollars, and the overall investment will be even more than hundreds of billions of dollars in the future.
At the same time, when it is built, it will bring millions or more jobs. It can directly drive Mauritania's economic growth.
"Mr. Archie, we want to buy all the desert here. As you know, our Longteng Group has very advanced technology in desert management. We want to bring this desert under control. After the governance is in place, we will be able to grow in it, and at that time we will be able to produce food that can directly meet the needs of your country, as well as the needs of the industrial zone......"
Coming to the edge of the desert area, the person in charge of Longteng Group said seriously.
Archie is the president of Mauri. This time, the representatives of Longteng Group were also welcomed by Archie.
"No problem, we're willing to sell this desert. ”
Archie said with a smile. This desert is deserted and useless. Now that someone buys, they are naturally willing to sell.
Besides, it is well governed, and Maori is the biggest beneficiary.
The Dragon Group's ability to govern the desert is known to Archie. If your country's desert can be managed well and you can grow food in it, then your country will not need to import food from outside.
In Maori, there are still many people who do not have enough to eat. On the one hand, the reason why I can't eat is because the climate here is not good, but in fact, the main reason is that people here are lazy.
If it were the Chinese people, not to mention that the desert occupied two-thirds, even if the desert occupied nine-tenths, the Chinese people could still grow enough food here to feed their own people.
After all, the Maori area is large enough, and the population is very small. The population of 5 million is not as large as the population of a city in China.
The purchase of deserts and the selection of industrial sites are being carried out in an orderly manner. And the speed of progress is very fast, and now Zhang Fan has sufficient funds and a large amount of cash in his hands.
So there is no question of arrears at all. Besides, the Maoli Desert is very cheap, selling for 100 million dollars for 10,000 square kilometers.
Seven billion dollars were spent on almost 700,000 square kilometers of desert. Such a sale makes both parties happy.
The location of the industrial zone was chosen in the northwest of Mauri. The entire industrial zone is located in a desert area, and the entire industrial zone is only 20 kilometers from the Western Sahara border.
The entire industrial zone is very large, covering an area of 20,000 square kilometers. When built here, it will become a famous heavy industry base in Africa.
In particular, the steel industry has begun to adjust its industrial scale internally. Within China, the steel industry is in a surplus stage.
In addition, the steel industry is seriously polluted, and the country now has the intention to move the steel industry outward. This time, Longteng Group pulled several steel companies up and came here.
Zhang Fan is only willing to build a heavy industry base here, with only one purpose. That is to prepare for the future of Western Sahara.
Western Sahara is small and resource-poor. Even if a private domain is established, it will require a lot of resources. In the future, the manufacturing industry in Western Sahara will be high-end manufacturing.
In a limited number of places, such raw material refining enterprises will not be established. However, the refining of raw materials is an indispensable foundation.
The construction of such an industrial base in Mauri now will directly support private leaders in the future.
Although the upper echelons of Huaxia have not yet made a decision, Zhang Fan has already begun to lay out.
Mauritania, Algeria and Morocco are the three countries that Longteng Group focuses on.
If these three countries are well managed, this is the buffer zone of the private territory, the external protection area of the private territory.
At the same time, it is also a private raw material production area, and some affiliated bases will also be located here. Running these three countries well is crucial for private leaders.
