After a round as far as the eye could see, Zhang Xingming talked about the idea of development, and then the supply ship arrived, where they will build a temporary living area for workers and engineers to live and rest.

After having a working meal on the island and arranging things, Zhang Xingming and his entourage boarded the ship and set off.

To the east of Prince Island is close to Chiji, more than 200 kilometers, due west to the sea is Bashi, 5,000 kilometers, and to the north is Nigeria, 500 kilometers. If you want to build on Prince Island, you must have a transit base on the nearby mainland, and the only option is Chiji.

The purpose of Zhang Xingming and his entourage was Bata.

The country was one of the poorest regions in the world in '89, with no oil yet to be discovered, and a per capita income of $300 a year. In fact, even in the 96 years of oil development, it is still one of the poorest regions in the world, with a per capita income of 23,000 US dollars, but the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people in the upper class.

Chiji is a very interesting country, its territory is made up of a small part of the continent and several islands in the Atlantic, and the nearest part of it, Sao Tome and Prince Prince, does not belong to it, because it encloses Sao Tome in it.

Its capital, Malabo, is in the northernmost part of Bioko Island. The island of Bioko is only 60 kilometers away from the Gulf of Guinea next to Camellon, but it is quite far from its land territory, close to 300 kilometers.

Bata, where Zhang Xingming is going, is the largest city in Chichi, the economic center, and the seat of the National Assembly.

Located next to the sea, Bata is the only large city in Chichi, covering more than 70 square kilometers. From afar, from the sea, it is full of densely packed small houses, blue, red, gray, brown roofs of various colors are messily put together.

There are no obvious roads in sight, and the city has almost no planning, built at will, and walked on random paths.

However, compared to Sao Tome and most African countries, it is quite prosperous, and there are more green trees, and it is the most densely vegetated area on the African continent, only Gabon, Congo, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Chichi Guinea are the countries with lush vegetation and forests, and then go south to north like a gradient from green to yellow and then to red, turning into a desert arid area.

Like all African countries, the medical conditions here are extremely poor, with fewer than 1,000 medical workers in the country at this time in '89, more than 60 percent of the country's population suffering from untreated diseases, and more than 70 percent of the population without access to running water.

International aid to the Chichi began on and off in the mid-80s and was not normalized until the late 90s. After the establishment of diplomatic relations in 70 years, we built several major roads and hydropower stations for it, and continued to send medical teams to work in Bata and Marab, until now, it has been almost 30 batches.

At this time, there was no decent wharf in Bata, and the wharf coastal area in later generations was organized by the World Bank in 02.

The boat slowly approached the shore, and on the shore was the market, and a few thin black children stood on the rocks by the sea and watched the boat in a daze. The biggest difference between Chichi and most of the poor areas of Africa is that the people here wear clothes, which is really good. You say a woman standing in front of you shirtless, do you look at it or not?

Do you know what it's like to double translate? Zhang Xingming has now realized that the translator he brought over first translated the local Western Ya language into English, and then Su Yan and Xu Xiaoya translated it into Chinese.

A group of big-eyed black cute babies followed the group not far away, saying that people are so thin that their eyes are really big.

The president of Chiji, Engama, was a military dictator, and in 79 he overthrew and executed the brutal dictatorship of his own uncle, who single-handedly promoted him, and became the second president of Chiji, leading Chiji until the year when Zhang Xingming was reborn, and then later, and then later. He was re-elected at the age of 16 and seventy-four, and it is estimated that he will continue to work until his death.

Under his leadership, the Chiji economy took off in the 90s, but basically the dictatorial group profited, and the people's lives did not improve much.

Ngama met with Zhang Xingming and his entourage at the Bata Congress building.

He was wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a purple, white and purple striped ribbon, which made him look black and shiny. It's serious.

The meeting between the two was very interesting, the translator stood in a bunch, and Engama prepared Chinese and English French translations. French is the second language here.

After a moment of messy politeness on both sides, Engama began to ask Zhang Xingming's intentions. He has always had a good relationship with us, and has come into contact with many Chinese people, and he doesn't understand Zhang Xingming, the Chinese Baron John.

"I bought Putra Island and planned to build a manor house there for a vacation. Zhang Xingming directly expressed his intentions: "I need to get a piece of land in Bata to build a transit base and a material transit base." ”

"I know there, I used to be there when I was younger, it's a beautiful place. What are you going to build? A Chinese manor? A small bridge, a flowing water, a winding river, a pretended mountain peak? You bought the whole island?"

"Yes, the whole island of Putra, where I want to build manors, parks, beaches and holiday villas, and a port and wharf. In the future, it will be a holy place for the rich people of the world to vacation, and Bata will become a transit point. ”

"What would you build in Bata? Bata, too, is a beautiful place, industrious people and abundant produce, but it is very poor, you can see, my people are not happy, they need the help of friends. ”

'I'm not familiar with Bata, it's my first time here and it can take a little while. I'm a businessman, I'm happy to invest anywhere as long as there's a return, I invest in many countries around the world, local people work, the government collects taxes, I earn profits. ”

Engama licked his lips, and after listening to the translation, he frowned, thought for a while, and said, "May I ask Your Excellency Zhang, what kind of industry are you engaged in?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Minerals, heavy industry, automobiles, energy, ports and terminals, banks, hotels, shopping malls, manufacturing, real estate, businessmen, if there are interests, they can do it, who will be afraid of having more money?"

Engama thought for a moment and asked, "If there's a piece of land, for example, that you can build one, what? Transit base, then what will you do with it?"
