Chapter 50 Development Models
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was 5 billion US dollars, and Gu Mu had no pressure.
Isn't it just investment?
Anyway, whether or not I can continue to live at that time is a matter of two words, so what if I open my mouth a little wider?
If you are still alive and invest $5 billion, then $5 billion, after all, this is just an investment, not giving money away.
If it was no longer himself who occupied his body at that time, but Wang Yongyuan, it would not matter.
Whether you can get so much cash, is it worth investing so much cash, that's a question that Wang Yongyuan needs to consider, it's his business?
"$5 Billion ......"
Santos suddenly coughed violently.
This surprise was so big that he couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but say:
"I didn't hear it clearly just now, Mr. Gu, do you mean that you are going to invest 5 billion US dollars in the development of industry in our country within three years after I am elected president?"
"Yes, that's what I meant. ”
Gu Mu says:
"Mr. Santos, as you must know, our family's investment focus is now on Africa, because we are very optimistic about Africa's development in the world. There is also a saying in China that the 21st century and even the 22nd century will be the century of Africa. We would love to be part of Africa's development. ”
"But you're talking about $5 billion, Mr. Gu, do you really have the determination to invest so much money in our country?"
Santos asks this question.
It's not that he wants to question Gu Mu, it's that this mouth is too open.
Country A's annual GDP is only two or three billion US dollars, and its fiscal revenue is only a few billion US dollars, and Gu Mu wants to invest 5 billion US dollars as soon as he opens his mouth, which is indeed a bit scary.
Although the country's fiscal revenue is billions of dollars a year, their fiscal expenditure is higher than their fiscal revenue, and it is not easy for the government to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to replace the equipment of its army.
Now the brother is going to invest $5 billion in three years as soon as he opens his mouth, which really scares him.
It's not like he hasn't seen money......
But he really hasn't seen that much money......
This made him wonder if Gu Mu didn't quite understand what $5 billion meant?
He even wondered if Gu Mu was taking drugs before he said such a thing.
He believes that Wang Yongyuan has the financial resources to raise $5 billion to invest in the country within three years.
However, even with the financial resources of a super-rich man like Wang Yongyuan, it is not easy to raise so much money.
"During this period of time, I came to Africa and observed more than a dozen countries, in which we have our family's industry. After this round of observation, my biggest feeling is that the development model of these places is not right, it is a very sick development model. ”
Gu Mu himself didn't have any concept of economic development, but after staying with Chi Yanyan for a long time during the ten days of inspection, he also understood a little bit, and he said to Santos:
"I've never seen a country that doesn't have an industrial system and calls for environmental protection. But here I found that many countries are like that, and even the factories that our family invested in have been protested by environmental groups, isn't this to drive industry out of their country? Without economic development, what is the use of leaving green mountains and clear waters? What did they do to me? ”
"Yes, many countries are now on the wrong path," Santos said angrily, "We in Africa are the places where those environmental protection organizations are most active, and the core members of those organizations are people from developed countries, and they enjoy the convenience of industrial development, but I think it's very unfair to ask us countries that are still in poverty not to develop industry and do environmental protection." Therefore, my policy philosophy is to develop industry, enrich the country and strengthen the people. ”
Saying that, he didn't forget to praise Gu Mu's motherland: "This is also the truth I want to understand when I study in China, the current set of Western countries, the development of low-energy high-tech technology, we have no way to learn, we can only learn from the development experience of China." ”
"I used to think that Africa's economy would definitely develop rapidly in this century, but when I looked at more than a dozen countries, I saw that they had embarked on the evil path of environmental protection and rejected industrialization, and I doubted this view, and I felt that such a country had no future. ”
In those places that Gu Mu saw, there were indeed some rejections of industrialization, and this was not something he said casually.
Although there is an environmental party in China, there is not much climate, so it is different here.
Although many of them are civil society organizations, and basically no government has put forward the idea of rejecting industrialization, those civil society organizations are so powerful that they can do more than just demonstrate, and even storm some factories.
The law is not as important to them as protecting the environment.
Gu Mu had heard Chi Yanyan introduce that Wang Yongyuan's industries in Africa have been hit by hundreds of environmental protection organizations in recent years, and of course, some of them are supported by companies that are not right with them.
"We in Africa are the victims, and almost all the environmental organizations that are active in Africa are supported by big Western companies, and their purpose is to curb the development of Africa, hoping that this land will continue to be poor, without its own industrial system, without its own business system, so that they can plunder our resources at a very low price. ”
Santos said angrily:
"They have taken control of public opinion, used some specious arguments to deceive people, and convinced many people that they were righteous. The governments of many countries also know their harm, but in the arena of public opinion, there is no way to confront them, and the government cannot drive them away, otherwise they will be sanctioned by Western countries. They also have access to media resources, and they have even more appeal than the government. ”
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and said: "I really don't dare to imagine that if China had been affected by this kind in the early stage of its development, had not developed its industry, and had not been able to form its own industrial system, how could it have taken off economically?
"That's right, they themselves enjoy the benefits of destroying the environment, but they want others to sacrifice their own development to protect the environment, this is a group of hypocritical people, we can't be led by the nose by them!"
Gu Mu patted his thigh and said to Santos:
"So when I heard Mr. Santos say that he would learn from China's development model after being elected, I saw the hope of the country's economic take-off, so I changed my mind and wanted to invest more in this country. 1 billion is too little, at least 5 billion dollars!"
