Chapter 40: Fifty-Nine Percent

On September 8th, the day of voting in the presidential election of country A, Gu Mu, Zhao Jiajia and the patriarch of the Saotome family were distributing candy to those children.

When handing out candy, we also pay attention to the results of the vote.

As soon as the votes were counted, Santos took the lead by more than half of the total votes.

But no one takes it lightly.

Until the end, no one knows what the outcome will be.

However, from the beginning, Santos's side had the advantage and did not fall behind, and has always been far ahead with more than half of the total votes.

You know, there are eight presidential candidates.

To be able to get more than half of the votes in this situation is quite remarkable.

For such a small, impoverished country, the investment commitment of $5 billion is indeed a great advantage.

As a result, none of his opponents could fight.

Because Santos's promises are likely to be fulfilled, and the promises of those competitors look very good, but no one can see the possibility of fulfillment.

If they are all liars, the people don't mind choosing a better liar from among the liars to be president, but there is one who seems to be telling the truth, as if it is possible to really make their lives better, and of course they will choose the more real one, even if the promise is far less beautiful than that of the other presidential candidates.

In particular, the attack on Gu Mu that happened two days ago made many ordinary people who originally supported other presidential candidates ashamed, changed their minds, and chose to vote for Santos.

There are not so many fools, and sometimes the election results look stupid, but because they are all bad, there is really no way to pick out the good ones.

So, from the very beginning, Santos was far ahead in the votes.

When the votes reached 70 percent, Santos accounted for about 55 percent of the total votes.

Several teams of presidential candidates have already announced to the media that they have lost their campaign.

Of course, there are a few others who are still holding on.

Until the last minute, the final result is not yet certain, and if the remaining 30 percent are not in favor of Santos, then Santos still has no way to be elected president through this vote, and a second vote is needed.

When it reached 85 percent, Santos' share of votes not only did not decline, but continued to rise, accounting for 58 percent of the total votes.

It is almost certain that he will be elected president.

His team has already begun to celebrate.

Of the remaining presidential candidates, two more declared defeat, and only one is still holding on.

By the time the votes reached 90 percent, Santos had already passed 50 percent of the total votes, although there were still 10 percent of the votes left.

The last one that is still supporting has to be declared a defeat in this presidential election.

In the final vote count, Santos received more than 59 percent of the total votes.

Of course, this is only the number of votes counted, and whether the number of votes counted can be accurate or not still needs to be announced through official channels on the 11th.

At that time, it will be considered a real victory, and he will become the de jure president-elect of country A.

As for the actual president, there is still a two-month buffer period, so that the incumbent president has time to prepare the handover, and the successor president has time to prepare his own governing team.

In other words, barring any surprises, Santos will be the country's president by November.

When the results came out, it was already past 7 p.m.

Gu Mu was still distributing candy with Zhao Jiajia at this time.

After the results came out, a media reporter came over to ask him what he thought, and he said very excitedly:

"This is the right choice, and I believe that many years later, the people of country A will be proud and proud of their choice this time. ”

"So, Mr. Gu, is the $5 billion investment you promised about to start to be fulfilled?" the reporter asked.

This is the most important thing for all the media in country A, and it is also the most important thing for all voters in country A.

"Of course, we have been raising funds for more than half a year, and within three years, we at Gold Mountain Investment Company will complete a $5 billion industrial investment in this country. Gu Mu said very excitedly, "I can imagine how much progress will be made in the industry of country A in three years." ”

Five billion dollars of industrial investment, that's definitely going to be in place.

If nothing else, it is the super mine they own, and if they want to develop it, they need a lot of investment.

Super gold mines do not mean that there are pieces of gold waiting to be mined underground, and a large number of industrial equipment is required to mine and alchemize, as well as a lot of labor.

Supporting facilities, including power facilities and transportation facilities, also need to be in place.

That's more than half of the $5 billion total investment.

Of course, the real investment used to develop the industry of country A must not be less, otherwise, this is tantamount to deceiving the people of country A, and it will be difficult for them to survive in this land, and Santos will lose his eligibility for re-election.

He invested $5 billion to invest here, which can attract more funds to join, and the final entry funds, conservatively estimated, will probably be more than 10 billion US dollars.

This includes Lilia's promised $1 billion investment, which is a condition for Wang Yongyuan to agree to send someone to help her fight for the family property.

There is also investment from a domestic partner who will jointly develop this super gold mine.

The Golden Mountain Investment Company has the financial resources to fully develop and build that super gold mine, but if it does not bring in domestic investors to jointly develop it, whether it can hold that gold mountain will become a very serious problem.

If domestic investors are introduced to jointly develop, the investment cost cannot be paid by himself, and the collaborator will also have to bear part of the construction cost.

That's going to have to be a lot of money.

There are also the construction of ports and wharves, and the investment in this is not small.

Although country A is close to the sea, it does not have a modern port, and it does not make much sense whether there is a sea or not.

It must be built into a modern port, and if it is done well, it can even become an important hub for the flow of goods on the African continent, which is also an infrastructure construction that requires a lot of investment.

If there is more investment here, more investors will see business opportunities and join in, and the scale of investment will be much larger.

Some time ago, Jinshan Investment Company contacted a lot of backward production capacity in Huaxia and discussed the overall relocation, in this regard, Jinshan Investment Company can carry out some financial support, which will also be a very large-scale investment.

And that is also the industrial construction that country A needs very much.

For the future of country A, Gu Mu is indeed optimistic.
