Chapter 114: Government
Lin Quan never knew that the country was so shrewd, because the news he saw on the Internet was all questioning voices, questioning the government's black box operation, people were stupid and had a lot of money, he was just a small person, and the news channels he could contact were limited, so as long as he didn't have a strong judgment ability, it was easy to be fooled by the media, so in the era of networking, the media is easy to influence the mood of the people of a country.

He doesn't care much about these things, these policies may not be good news for Nigerien, but they are very important to Lin Quan, and this is enough.
。。。。。。。。。
"Dear Mr. Lin, you are finally here, thank you and your country for the help you have made to us!"
Steiger was very happy to see Lin Quan, the smile on his face was like a pile of folds, and he not only thanked Lin Quan himself, but also thanked Lin Quan's country, which made Lin Quan puzzled, didn't it mean that these policies didn't help them much? Why did they look like they had won five million, or even happier than winning five million?
"Mr. Lin, the low-interest loan worth 200 million US dollars provided by your country to us is very timely, our Ministry of Agriculture has recently been planning to expand farms like your farm in the north next year to help us improve the desertification situation in the north, but because there is not enough funds, it is difficult for our plan to be implemented, but now, with the 200 million special funds, we can do our plan!"
A middle-aged black man who was older than Steiger, and who was also a little bigger, walked over and talked to Lin Quan cordially, with a very kind attitude.
Well! Lin Quan now knows why these people have a smile on their faces, it turns out that they have obtained a loan, and it is a loan of a large amount, 200 million US dollars! Such a large sum of money can smash people into a stun when it hits anyone's head, no wonder they are so happy!
"Helping our neighbors is our country's traditional virtue, and I am very happy to be able to contribute my strength to the friendship between China and Nepal!"
Lin Quan said a few words, can not sweep these people too much, although 200 million US dollars is a huge amount of money, but this is a loan, not given to you for free, sooner or later will have to be repaid, and they will definitely not be able to pay it back in the future, can only use their own minerals and resources to repay, the Chinese want to get your treasure, I don't know, but give you a loan, wait until you happily spend it, when you need to repay, ok, I will discuss with you about cooperation, at this time you were taken out by me, you can't be hard at the negotiating table, you can only be slaughtered, I really don't know what they are happy about!
But in this case, Lin Quan would definitely not be able to tell them, they were rarely happy, so let them be happy for a while, and they couldn't do things that ruined their fun.
"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce, this is our Mr. Johnny, Director of the Secretariat of the Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. Johnny, this is the Mr. Lin we often mention to you, an international friend from China!"
Steiger saw that Lin Quan was chatting with his boss, but the two didn't know each other, so he hurriedly made an introduction first, so as not to be embarrassed between the two of them later.
"Hello Mr. Johnny, I have admired my name for a long time, and it is really a blessing to be able to see him today!"
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I have admired your name for a long time, and I am also fortunate to be able to meet you today!"
After listening to his words, Lin Quan's expression on his face was a little strange, this guy was probably a little delirious!
"Mr. Lin Quan, we have been waiting for you for a long time, please come with us!"
Johnny reached out and made a gesture of please, allowing Lin Quan to walk into their government building.
The government of Niger is not a big government, the Ministry of Agriculture is a ministerial agency, in fact, their headquarters building is still relatively shabby, a three-story old building, the outside walls are a little mottled, it seems to be a little old, the wall of the main entrance hangs two black boxes, if you don't look carefully, you don't know that it was originally an air-conditioning compressor.
Lin Quan was not surprised, when he was in Agadez before, he saw that the government agencies over there were also like this, tattered, and looked shabby, but this was all a trick, and the inside was actually quite good.
The construction area of this three-story building is not very large, but there is a conference room of about 300 square meters on the second floor, at this time there are already many people sitting in the conference room, and there are people seated one after another, the venue is crowded, a peaceful and lively scene.
"Hello, everyone, please be quiet, sit in your place and don't move, our meeting today is about to start!"
A middle-aged man came out of the backstage and said a few words on the microphone, they Africans just couldn't be serious, they looked quite hip-hop. The crowd below began to gradually quiet down.
Lin Quan also sat in the crowd, he held a list of the contents of today's meeting, originally this kind of government work meeting, he, a non-government person, could not come in, but today Johnny and Steiger were very happy, made an exception for him to attend, and Steiger was by his side.
Lin Quan casually flipped through the list of contents of the meeting in his hand, unfortunately, the content on it was all in French, and he could barely understand a few words, which was certainly not enough for him to understand the specific content of this document.
It seems that the French language still needs to be strengthened! Lin Quan couldn't help but remind himself in his heart.
I used to think that after learning English, I would not be afraid of anything, but in fact, the role of English is not as big as imagined, in many places in Africa English is used, but there are also many people who use French, especially in North Africa and West Africa, most of them used to be French colonies, so most of the local languages are French as the official language.
French evolved from Latin, the fusion of the original French and Latin, and was therefore considered an elegant language until the nineteenth century.
As for English, the language that originated from the lower classes of commoners and even slaves did not have much to do with the Latin of the aristocracy, so it was previously considered a rude language by Westerners, and Britain has always been outside the European continent, so the British are very unpopular with Europeans, and their language is naturally not welcome.
When did English begin to become popular in the world, this is probably from the time when Britain established the Sunset Empire! But although the scope of the Sunset Empire is wide, it does not include all places, and the decisive event that really expanded the influence of English was the rise of the United States in World War II, and the United States was stronger than the Sunset Empire, so even some countries in Northern Europe began to learn English after the war, and the influence of English was greatly improved.
