CHAPTER XX
As the day of the election approached, Santos was in a hurry, and he went to the place there on the second day to canvass for votes.
Of course, during the canvassing activity, he also mentioned Gu Mu's coming to country A, and also mentioned that they had a long exchange on the next investment:
"In fact, I have made it clear to Mr. Gu many times that I hope that his investment in our country will not depend on whether I can be elected president, no matter who is elected president, I can make such a scale of investment, but unfortunately, Mr. Gu does not think so, I feel very regretful. ”
"Mr. Gu also learned about the campaign slogans of other candidates, and after he learned about them, he felt very confused about the goals of those gentlemen, thinking that even in his country, there was no way to achieve such goals, and he could not see any basis for our country to achieve such goals, which made him doubt the political integrity of those gentlemen, so in his communication with me, he repeatedly emphasized that the investment promises he made would only be fulfilled if I was elected. ”
For such a situation, Santos was very helpless:
"Of course, I hope that no matter who is elected, his investment will be in place and will benefit our people. Actually, I'm not that interested in being president, and if the country is doing well, I'd rather be a teacher than a politician. ”
"Unfortunately, I'm very worried about the state of the country right now, because these politicians, who only know how to say beautiful things to attract votes, forget the promises they made to the people after they are elected, and I can't trust the promises that sound good. Obviously, Mr. Gu also did not believe that they would be able to deliver on their promises. ”
"I have met Mr. Gu three times, and the first time we met, he made a promise to invest $5 billion after I was elected. I don't think it could be attributed to my friendship with him, because we didn't have a friendship at that time. Perhaps it was because he saw the future of the country in my policy plan that he was willing to make such an investment. ”
"I know that my slogan is not pretty, far less attractive than those gentlemen, I just want to do something practical for this country, and now in the polls, my approval rating is very high, which shows that there are still some people in our country who have the same hope and can do something practical, which makes me very happy. ”
"I communicated with Mr. Gu last night, and when it came to this matter, Mr. Gu also expressed his satisfaction about it. He also said that if I am elected, he will not only invest $5 billion in the development of our country's industry, but he will also mobilize more investors in his country to invest in us, and I am very much looking forward to that day. ”
Regarding the matter of mobilizing more investors to invest in A-shares, Gu Mu of course also said, but that thing is not a quantifiable indicator, as long as he really returns to China to do a launch.
As for how many investors will actually come to invest at that time, he did not make a quantitative commitment, and of course there will be no such thing as breaking the promise.
In addition, Santos also mentioned that the Saotome family is coming to invest in the factory:
"Last night, Mr. Gu also told me that he had successfully persuaded an investor from an island country to invest in our country, and the investment amount was conservatively estimated at tens of millions of US dollars. The investor will come over in a few days, but it is the second investor that Mr. Gu said to move. ”
"Of course, the first investor that Mr. Gu said, you have all heard of it, is the Lilia Charitable Foundation, they promised that after I was elected, they would invest 1 billion US dollars to develop industry here and improve the employment rate and industrial production level of our country. ”
Now that we have reached the most critical moment of the election, as long as there is a chance to get votes for himself, Santos will certainly not give up that opportunity.
He not only has to participate in events and give speeches in places where his support rating in the polls is high, but he also has to give speeches in places where his support rating is very low in the polls to promote his own governance ideas.
About his activities, Gu Mu can only learn about it through the Internet or TV.
The official language here is English, Gu Mu doesn't know English, and the responsibility of helping him understand the local news falls on Zhao Jiajia.
This kind of work seems to be a little difficult for Ruan Xiaowen and Youyi.
Zhao Jiajia has been studying in the United States for 10 years, and there is no barrier to English for her, so she is very competent for this job.
Gu Mu stayed in the resort by the sea for two days, and then took Zhao Jiajia to the training base of the mercenary group.
Wang Yongyuan has a mercenary group in Africa, of course the Zhao family knows, and Zhao Jiajia has also heard people in the family say that they have an impression.
But when she came to this place, she was shocked to see the presence of tanks and military helicopters.
This is a real symbol of strength.
On the African continent, this is a harder hard currency than gold.
"Aren't you worried that after country A really becomes stronger, it won't allow the existence of your force?"
Zhao Jiajia asked Gu Mu.
As long as any country is governed in an orderly manner and can effectively control its own army, it will not allow another army to exist on its own land.
That is equivalent to cancer cells, which must be cut off in order to develop healthily.
"There's nothing to worry about this," Gu Mu said with a smile, "When they become truly powerful and civilized and orderly, there will be no need for us to have troops here, of course we can withdraw in time." ”
"Where are you going?" asked Zhao Jiajia.
"Africa is a very vast land, they can't become strong so quickly, and there are many places where we can withdraw this force," Gu Mu said, "For example, the country next to it can allow us to develop another base camp." ”
"But your family has such a big investment here, if there is no protection from this force, don't you worry that those investments will be swallowed up by this country?" Zhao Jiajia asked.
Gu Mu smiled, glanced at her, and said:
"Isn't there still your Zhao family? My father is a legitimate businessman in Huaxia, and I am also a legal businessman in Huaxia, after their country becomes truly orderly, they will not have the courage to embezzle the assets of our legitimate businessmen in Huaxia. A normal government cannot do such stupid things. ”
