Chapter 145 Public Opinion

A few days after Wang Yongyuan arrived in Pengcheng, Santos came to Huaxia, but he did not come to Pengcheng immediately, but participated in an economic forum held in the capital about the Silk Project.

At that forum, Santos, as a popular presidential candidate in country A and a staunch supporter of the Silk Project, was also interviewed by some media outlets.

Of course, he was not interviewed by the central media.

It is not to look down on him, but to avoid suspicion, lest foreign countries hype up China's manipulation of other countries' elections.

Huaxia certainly wouldn't do anything like that.

As everyone knows, China is a big country that adheres to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and it will certainly not do such a thing.

Now that country A is in an election year, and Santos is a hot candidate, the central media is not suitable to interview him.

There were dozens of countries attending the meeting, and the standard was still very high, many of which were attended by heads of state or government, and Santos, a provincial councilor, was not so high-level.

Although the media interviews he accepted were not central media, they were all influential media, and there were even several influential foreign media.

There are traces of this capital operation, which is to build momentum for his election in country A.

In an interview with the media, he vigorously advocated the Silk Plan, used all the words of praise he knew about this plan, and said that he would learn from Huaxia to develop industry, develop economy, do a good job in infrastructure construction, and attract investment.

When asked by a reporter whether country A has the ability to attract foreign investment, Santos cited Wang Yongyuan as an example:

"Although our country is still very poor, we have good development potential, I talked to Mr. Wang Yongyuan of Jinshan Investment Group, and we agreed that as long as our government can provide better services, we will not be able to bring high profits to investors. ”

"Now our industrial base is very poor, in the modern country belongs to the sunset industry, in our country can also be called the sunrise industry, can be carried out industrial transfer. ”

"I met with Mr. Wang and Mr. Gu of Kingsoft Investment Group, and they explained my governance philosophy after being elected president, and they agreed. Chairman Gu Mu even promised me that if I can be elected president of our country and smoothly implement my governance philosophy, he will come up with no less than 5 billion US dollars to invest in our country's industry. ”

The figure of "five billion dollars" came out of his mouth, which surprised the reporters who interviewed him.

It is not uncommon for people to invest more than $5 billion in Africa, but generally they invest in Africa's mineral resources, not in their industries.

At present, most African countries can attract investment because of their mineral resources, and not many people think that they have the strength to develop industry.

The first one has no market, the second has no qualified workers, and the third has no supporting industrial chain.

In this context, investing in Africa's industry is a huge venture.

"Can you be sure that the $5 billion they're talking about is investing in industry and not in mining?" the reporter asked.

"Of course, it is certain that it is investment in industry. "Although our country also has mineral resources, I think what can make our country rich and strong is not to sell those minerals, but to let our country have more workers and sell the industrial products they produce." ”

"$5 billion is not a small amount, do they really dare to invest so much to develop industry?" the reporter asked suspiciously.

"They have that confidence that they can get bigger returns," Santos said with a smile, "please don't doubt Mr. Wang's investment vision, he is a beacon in the investment world." ”

The news that "Jinshan Investment Company is willing to invest 5 billion US dollars to help country A develop its industry" quickly became popular on social platforms.

Although Jinshan Investment Company is registered abroad, the owner of the company is a Chinese person, and it is a Chinese person with Chinese nationality.

This also makes this news particularly eye-catching on Huaxia's social platforms.

Many people are even indignant - there are still many poor places in China that need to be invested, why do so many money not invest in China, but in African countries?

Many people refer to this act online as "coin scattering".

There are even many people @Gu Mu's account on Weibo, asking him why he didn't invest that money in China.

Gu Mu didn't have much time to go on Weibo.

Life in reality is so colorful, he doesn't have that much time to spend online.

Even on the Internet, I play more games and watch them, and I don't have much time to scroll through Weibo.

Sometimes the company he invests in has some big activities, and he will forward it, or ask Ruan Xiaowen to post a blog on his account to promote it.

After all, it is also a big V with more than 10 million followers, and you can save some promotion costs by personally participating in such promotion.

The person who usually manages his Weibo is Ruan Xiaowen, which is one of Ruan Xiaowen's tasks.

On this day, Ruan Xiaowen received thousands of messages from @Gu Mu, and when she clicked on it, she asked Gu Mu, as a Chinese person, why didn't she take so much money to invest in Huaxia.

Many people say that he is a "big coin", and some people say that he is a traitor.

This can be regarded as a relatively important public opinion, Ruan Xiaowen hurriedly reported this matter to Gu Mu.

After Gu Mu saw those @him's remarks, he laughed angrily.

He also retweeted the news of Santos's interview and made his own comments - my team and I believe that Mr. Santos has the will and ability to make country A better, and as long as Mr. Santos can be elected president of country A, the promises we made will be fulfilled.

He also refuted some of the remarks that criticized him on the Internet:

Why do we want to invest in that poor place in Africa? Because more than half of the profits of our Gold Mountain Investment Group come from that poor place, what is wrong with the money earned from that place and then reinvested in that place?

- This is an investment, a business activity that pays attention to returns, not charity, and it would be foolish to say that we are throwing coins.

-- Jinshan Investment Group is a business group, which has not earned a penny from the Chinese people so far, not from abroad, and has invested with its own money. This is also called betrayal, what else can't be called traitor?

If responding to the Silk Plan is also called selling the country, which country are you referring to?

β€”β€”Africa and China are the focus of our future investment, in China our company has invested 30 billion, and it is also a short-term infrastructure project that does not see benefits, saying that we are traitors, think about it, what kind of contribution we have made to this country.
