Chapter 22: Threats
Gu Mu came to country A and stayed for about two or three days, and the patriarch of the Saotome family also came here.
When they arrived, the freighter that had transported $2 million in candy was about to arrive in the country.
The Saotome family came over, of course, to distribute candy.
The $2 million candy will take some time to be distributed.
Such a good advertising opportunity, of course, he will not miss it, and he wants to come over and brush up on his presence.
There's nothing better than charity advertising to show a company's sense of public responsibility and make the audience feel good about the company from the start.
In the future, when the children who eat this batch of candy grow up, everyone will definitely give preference to the products of this company at a similar price.
$2 million in candy is not a small amount and can be distributed to many families.
They couldn't have handed out bags of candy to the little ones, who didn't have a dollar for less.
Of course, it is impossible to make them tired of eating, but they can only taste it, feel that they are still unsatisfied, and catch their gluttony, that is the best.
After the patriarch of the Saotome family came over, he quickly arranged for the media to come and interview him, and he also expressed his desire to invest in this country, and also expressed his intention - to give candy to the poor children in this country, so that they can taste the sweetness and happiness that belongs to the heart of an angel.
He's going to come over now and look at where cocoa beans are suitable for growing sugar cane, so that he can solve some of the raw material problems.
Solving the problem of raw materials on the spot can save some costs.
For businessmen, cost savings mean profits.
At the same time, he also needs to examine whether he can recruit some available workers.
The availability of workers does not depend on whether they have that kind of technology or education.
Skills can be cultivated, and some jobs don't require much complex skills or even cultural education.
The most important thing is whether there is a work ethic that goes to work on time and takes it seriously.
This is very important on the African continent.
There are many factories that recruit workers locally, but those workers do not go to work on time, often take leave and are lazy, then the factory will not be able to operate normally, if they do not pay their wages, they will gather people to make trouble, so that many factories can not do it, can only leave quickly.
Not all ethnic groups are as diligent and hardworking as the Chinese nation, and are willing to fight for a future with sweat.
Some ethnic groups have never had the concept of hard work, and they would rather be poor.
There are some more complex technical aspects, and employees can be recruited from other places, but some of the simpler and bulky tasks can be handed over to the local people, which can improve local employment, which is definitely something that the local government likes to see.
What is needed is whether they have the idea of getting rich through labor.
In this regard, I have to say that the people of the island country are still more serious and dedicated, unlike Gu Mu, who came for a few days, either staying in a resort by the sea or living in a villa in the training base, and did not inspect any matters on the spot.
After the patriarch of the Saotome family came to country A, he began to inspect those places, and for two days, the cargo ship loaded with candy worth 2 million US dollars also arrived at the port of country A.
When the freighter arrived, Gu Mu had already transferred the trucks of several factories invested by Jinshan Investment Company in country A and the trucks from the training base, pulled the candy from the port to various places in country A, and also mobilized a lot of people from those factories to help distribute the candy.
The places selected are both places with high support in the Santos polls and places with relatively low support in the Santos polls.
It's almost time to vote, and Santos is still giving campaign speeches and participating in those canvassing events, which are focused on cities with low poll rates.
And in the process, Gu Mu and the patriarch of the Saotome family also appeared in his city.
Of course, they did not perform on the same stage, but they distributed candy in the same city and expressed their desire to support Santos's election as president to the media.
They still have a lot of benefits for handing out candy, and after such an event, Santos's poll approval rating has increased significantly.
Although other competitors also want to imitate, first of all, they have to get so much money, and secondly, they have to get so many materials in this time.
In other countries, it seems to be a simple and ordinary thing, but in this country where transportation is inconvenient and materials are scarce, it is a very difficult thing.
Not to mention anything else, it's just the big cars that Gu Mu can mobilize, and they are no longer the ones that the teams of the other candidates can mobilize.
You must know that Wang Yongyuan not only invested in a few factories and farms here, but also has a training base for mercenary regiments here, and has a huge advantage in transportation and material resources, and can distribute the 2 million US dollars of candy to various parts of the country at the fastest speed.
And then they still have enough people to do something like that.
Each candy to be distributed has been packed before going overseas, and each bag contains many kinds of candy, which can meet the needs of those children to try it, but it is impossible for them to get tired of eating.
Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not just the children who really import it, but maybe the adults will eat some too.
They can't give out these things in the name of giving candy to adults.
They just want to exchange these candies for votes, and at the same time, they also want to exchange the people of this country for the recognition of this brand of candy, and they don't really want to send happiness to the children of this country.
The places where Gu Mu and the patriarch of the Saotome family appeared were all places where the support rate of Santos polls was relatively low, but after their large-scale distribution of candy, the support rate of the polls was obviously higher.
Ordinary people may not be bought by a bag of candy, but they can also see one thing from this, that is, Santos has the ability to give them a better material life.
The other presidential candidates are only able to write empty promises, and they are not able to bring them substantial benefits.
With the commitment of Jinshan Investment Company, Santos can also have greater confidence to draw his own blueprint for governance after taking office, which is more convincing.
There are some things that can be understood without reading books, and as long as they can be given more jobs and more goods, the society will definitely become better, not worse.
Without these substantive things, even the best promises are useless.
The activities of Gu Mu and the patriarch of the Saotome family made Santos's rivals feel threatened.
They don't want this to continue.
