Chapter 541 Foreign Aid
"Xiaoxiao, you take Mrs. Kabila outside to see the night view of Chang'an! From here, you can see the lights of the Great Ci'en Temple, everyone who comes to Chang'an should go and see it!" Lu Qiujian did not answer directly, but turned his head sideways and said to Xia Xiao. {We don't write novels, we're just online text porters-◢ with ◢ dreams ◢ small ◢ say Щщшlā
Xia Xiao willingly took Patrice's wife out of the private room, there were only the two of them left, Lu Qiujian had already received Qin Feng's signal before, and it was also planned to find out the bottom of the personal relationship from him first, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, it is definitely a good thing for both of us!"
"Like last time?" Patrice echoed, and last time Lu Qiujian helped him lead the construction of an oil refinery in his country, which benefited them a lot.
"Yes, similar cooperation! Which oil refinery is doing now? The recent international oil price situation is very good!" Lu Qiujian said.
"It's not bad! It's a pity that the purpose is only half achieved!" Patrice sighed, "The purpose of building this refinery in the first place is to increase the income of the country, and second, to train a group of qualified workers for my country! Now although our financial income has increased, our workers can still only do the most basic work! It's not that your staff don't give them a chance, it's just that they really lack the motivation to learn and the upward **, and they feel that they are completely satisfied with a higher income than other allergies!"
Fortunately, since ancient times, Huaguo wants to become the center of the world, and it is rooted in the hearts of every citizen, even if it is the second in the eyes of the Chinese, it is a failure, this kind of character has put pressure on too many people, but it has also pushed Huaguo to work hard in the past few decades, if the Chinese people are like them, Lu Qiujian should be blind!
"No matter what change takes a process!" Lu Qiujian comforted, "Industrialization is undoubtedly the best means to change the national character, oil refineries are the first step, now we should build more factories and convert more people into industrial workers, for a long time." Things will naturally get better!"
"How can it be so easy to build a factory!" Patrice did not use the diplomatic rhetoric he was accustomed to to deal with Lu Qiujian, "Although we have abundant resources, we lack the funds, technology and talents needed to build factories. Without solving these problems, there is no way to build a factory!"
"Now, here's the opportunity!" Seeing that the topic had progressed to the right time, Lu Qiujian threw out his purpose.
"Oh, you're saying that Huaguo wants to build a new factory in our country?" Patrice's eyes lit up.
"It's not that we want to build a factory there, but that we will cooperate to develop the rich mineral resources of the Congo!" Lu Qiujian shook his finger. Corrected his words.
"What is it this time? Do you need more oil, copper, cobalt or gold?" Patrice reported several minerals that the Congo is rich in and China needs, in fact, the Congo also has coal and natural gas, but unfortunately these do not seem to be very cost-effective to ship to China.
"I'm afraid these are the next stage of things! What we need most now is rare earth ore!" This thing is not as easy to smelt as iron ore and copper ore, and it is not easy for Patrice country to even smelt iron and copper, let alone this high-tech industry, rare earth ore can only be watched where they are, and after some processing in China, it will become a high-value product of tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram!
"Rare earth mines?" As a top student at Princeton, Patrice's horizons were still very broad, and he understood the opportunity after a little pondering. Shrugged, "If the conditions are right, why not!"
"Ok, since you have the intention of cooperating, then things will be easy to do!" The task was easily completed, Lu Qiujian was very happy, although there must be negotiations later, but as long as both parties want to cooperate, then these are all details, "You can communicate with China after you return to the hotel." I also need to report to my superiors, and then we can start concrete negotiations, but for now, let's continue to taste the food and bars of Chang'an!"
After talking about business, Xia Xiao also took Patrice's wife back to the private room, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. The two of them were drinking and talking about the Olympic Games.
"Aha! I postponed my meeting with the Portuguese foreign minister in order to watch that game! At the last second I thought you were going to shoot yourself, but it was a pass!" Patrice said of the final.
"Just like when I was with the Princeton Tigers, I always get the ball in your hands when you have a good chance, and I always trust my teammates!" Lu Qiujian raised his glass and touched it with him.
The next day, Patrice did not bother to visit the various places of interest in Chang'an. On flying back to the capital directly by plane, we launched intense consultations with relevant departments.
After receiving the support funds allocated by Xihe, the Chang'an Nonferrous Metals Company once again expanded the scale of the research center, and more advanced practical equipment was transported to Chang'an; Liang Xiao also began to follow the staff of the personnel department to major universities and research institutes across the country to start a new round of recruitment.
At the same time, Liu Guangming also arranged manpower to conduct surveys near the coastal port, looking for a suitable location to prepare for the construction of a new production plant, Chang'an is too far away from the sea after all, if the ore is transported from the port to Chang'an, the transportation cost is too high, so it is better to find a place nearby, in addition, the technical personnel in the coastal area are also more abundant than Chang'an; even if the land price is higher, it is more convenient to consider it in the coastal area!
At present, it is only a preliminary investigation, if the ore import agreement is not reached, then the plan to build a factory in another place can only be invalidated.
Fortunately, he didn't let him wait long, and he saw such a message from the punctual news of the imperial court, "Chinese Foreign Minister Xiao Qi and Congolese Foreign Minister Patrice signed a new cooperation agreement between the two countries; Foreign Minister Xiao Qi announced that China will provide Congo with $3.5 billion in financial assistance, which will be used for Congo's resource development, industrialization, transportation construction and many other fields, and China has once again demonstrated its sense of responsibility as a major country in this cooperation."
Liu Guangming in front of the TV slapped the table, and then quickly picked up the phone, "Hurry up and speed up the negotiation of the factory site, and do your best to select the target!"
At the same time, there was also a lot of noise on the Internet about this foreign aid. (To be continued.) )
