Chapter 580: Decisive Strike

After two hours of jolting, Link finally came to the vicinity of the coordinate point they knew.

Along the way they passed a small town. It's a town, too. The houses on both sides of the sandy dirt road in that settlement are still very neatly arranged.

Not only did they pass through a small town, but they also encountered several herds of cattle along the way. Where they got out of the car, Link could still see traces of the grass being gnawed, as well as some cow dung.

It seems that Ojalala is right, this may be the pastoral area of the nearby residents.

Link saw that although this was a prairie, the shrubs on the prairie were quite dense. Some tall trees can also be seen in the distance. The canopy of those trees is very high, and although there is sunlight underneath the canopy, there are no leaves.

He asked the guide, "Do you know anything about this place, and how many people usually come to this grassland to graze?"

The tour guide shook his head and said, "I'm not from the neighborhood, but according to Tanzanian customs, land that has not yet been owned will become a pastoral area." As far as I know, there are several villages in the vicinity that are mainly cattle farming. However, the population of these villages is usually small, usually only a few to a dozen households. These pastures, they will come after the rainy season to graze their land to make the grass grow better, and when the dry season comes, they can let the cattle and sheep graze the hay of their land. ”

The tour guide said: "Actually, there is a lot of unowned land like this. They can graze their cattle wherever they want. ”

In this case, even if he rents the land, it will not have a fundamental impact on the herders.

He was about to say something when out of the corner of his eye he suddenly saw the tall head of a giraffe turn out of the dense bushes in the distance. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Are there a lot of wild animals here?"

"Yes, there's a lot of wildlife here! More than 20 kilometers to the north is the Selous Game Reserve, and there's a lot of wildlife in it. Elephants, lions, cheetahs. Of course, there are giraffes too. And people here are no longer hunting for a living, and there are more local wildlife than before. Some migrated from game reserves, while others were native. ”

Link nodded and said, "I've heard that a lot of animals in Tanzania are protected. What do local farmers usually do when they break into farmland?"

"The biggest threat to farmland is elephants. Many farmers put up fences around their fields, but that didn't do much for the elephants. So once an elephant is spotted, farmers will scare them off by frightening them. But elephants are very smart, and if they were to do something similar next time, they might not work anymore. ”

"What other animals besides elephants can be a hazard to farmland?"

"And big snails. The tour guide thought for a moment and said. "There are a large number of big snails in our country. They reproduce very quickly during the rainy season and can eat a lot of things, but they especially like to eat crops because they are higher in sugar. We Tanzanians used to eat big snails. But the WHO said they were carrying some parasites, so let's stop eating them. ”

The African giant snail, Link knows. That's all over Florida.

It was said to be a high-protein thing, and it used to be eaten. However, they have since been found to carry a variety of zoonotic parasites and can harm more than 500 species of plants, and are now listed as one of the internationally invasive species.

That thing is really hard to control. But maybe the Benehans Institute will have a solution.

"Is there anything else besides those?"

"And warthogs, who dig a hole under a fence and go out into the field to eat the crops. Warthogs are not protected animals, though. Found can be hunted. ”

Link looked at the land, the terrain was still very flat, and at a glance, there was not much undulation to see. If you rent it, you can go out and work on the ground with these shrubs. However, the animals that the tour guide said should not be unguarded.

On the way there, he found that there were many small ditches and waterholes. And during the rainy season, the grass is also very lush. There is also some grass that is said to be in the dry season. Such a place should attract some animals.

It doesn't matter if it's a male elephant, they usually act alone. But if it is encountering a group. Large crops will suffer. Especially during the dry season. The crops in the field are sure to attract those herbivores like a magnet. If he wants to guard against the animals, he also has to build a sturdy fence around the farm.

It looks like he's going to spend a lot more money on the project than he'd budgeted for before.

He looked at the spot for a moment and said, "Let's take a look around the neighborhood again." He pointed to a point in the east that could be seen faintly above the horizon. "I remember looking at the high plains on the map that should be small patches. ”

The tour guide nodded and said, "Yes." Those places are tens to a hundred meters above the west, and the terrain above them is also flat, and the area is not small, but those places are more arid. So no one has to live in those places. ”

"Let's go over there!"

Link listened to him and became more interested in the place.

They spent most of the day surveying the overall terrain in the Muira grasslands, and it was not until the afternoon that they returned to Kiluwa Masoko before flying back to Dodoma.

Link and Tiger then spent the day near Dodoma.

On the fourth day of his arrival in Tanzania, Ojalala finally contacted the Kenyan side and completed the departure procedures with Link and the Tanzanian side.

News of Link's departure to Kenya reached the ears of the three ministers with whom he had negotiated. They have a grumble in their hearts.

They are very optimistic about the investment plan of the Benihans Group brought by Link, and they have been working hard to coordinate all parties, hoping to implement the project as soon as possible. It's just that the interests of all parties are entangled, which makes it difficult for them to reach a consensus.

If Link was in Tanzania, they wouldn't be worried, whether he was there. But Link is going to Kenya.

The climatic environment between Kenya and Tanzania is not very different. If Link finds the right land there, his plan is likely to settle in Kenya.

Although the relationship between Tanzania and Kenya is very friendly. But this friendship is not guaranteed to be maintained in the face of conflicts of interest.

One of the most important aspects of Link's investment project is that it will provide good seeds to Africa. If the good breed comes from Tanzania, Tanzania's political status in Africa will rise. But if the seeds go to other countries, and the sale is controlled by the government. Other countries can be stuck by this country at any time.

When the three ministers heard the news, they immediately met and then went separately to meet the president and some parliamentarians. Hopefully they can give some support to Link for this project.

Link had no idea what was going on, and he had already left Tanzanian soil and flew towards Kenya.

And at the same time, in New York, USA.

Snapton drove to the headquarters of Meiya Media Group. In the hallway leading to the president's office, her steps were unhurried.

Yesterday she received the news of the board meeting of Meiya Media Group.

At the board meeting, Mr. Jiang proposed to re-issue new shares of the group, hoping to raise a certain amount of funds. It's just that the board seems to have rejected his proposal.

Link's confession a few days ago, she remembers very clearly. So she informed Link of the incident, and Link told her to take a heartbeat. So she made an appointment to meet Mr. Jiang today. She knocked on Mr. Jiang's office with the president's secretary.

"Hello Mr. Jiang, thank you for taking the time to meet me. ”

Mr. Chiang was very clear about her relationship with Link. Knowing that she was most likely here on Link's behalf. The relationship between Meiya Media Group and Link is a bit stiff right now. Of course, he thinks it's mainly because Link thinks Meiya Media hasn't kept its promise.

And he really wanted to ease his relationship with Link, so he agreed to meet this woman.

He asked his secretary to bring coffee. When Snapton sat down, he said, "Miss Snapton, what do you want to talk to me about this time?"

"Mr. Jiang, you know, I'm actually representing Link!"

Mr. Jiang nodded in acknowledgment that he was well aware of this.

"I heard that Mr. Jiang plans to sell new shares of Meiya Media again in order to raise funds to save Chinese TV. ”

"Miss Snotton is very well informed. But you should know, you should know that my proposal was rejected by the board. ”

Snapton nodded and said, "I did hear about it." I have a better proposition though. I hope Mr. Jiang will think about it. ”

"Oh, what's the suggestion?"

"Sell the Chinese TV station to Link. ”

Mr. Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile, "Link asked you to come?"

"So to speak. He called me two days ago and told me that he was not going to support Chinese TV, but he didn't want it to fall into the hands of anyone else. ”

Mr. Jiang said in a deep voice: "So, he has been plotting against my Chinese TV?"

Just then his secretary was knocking on the door and coming in. His demeanor returned to normal. After the secretary left, he continued: "Mr. Snotton, please tell Link. Although I am grateful for his help to Chinese TV in the first place, I will not give up Chinese TV. ”

Snapton said with a smile: "As far as I know, the debt crisis faced by Chinese TV this time has made it precarious. Unless sufficient funds can be raised, Chinese TV may go bankrupt. I know that Chinese TV is the brainchild of Mr. Jiang's family. And Mr. Jiang has spent a lot of effort to expand its viewing network. But now it has become a wound for Meiya Media. The more the Meiya Group keeps it, the more blood it will bleed. And Meiya Media has now begun to run out of blood. ”

"So what? I'll find a way to get it back to health. ”

"But the price will be high for you. It's even higher than building a new TV station. ”

Snapton laughed and said, "Maybe you can sell it and use the money to start a new TV station." You know, TV stations need enough money to get up and running. And you have a lot of experience, I think it is completely a problem for Meiya Group to establish a TV station of the same scale as Chinese TV in two or three years. ”
