After Lin Quan entrusted the matter of buying drones to Zhao Cheng, he didn't care about it, in fact, he didn't know much about it, he didn't know anything, so it was better to leave it all to Zhao Cheng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What does the boss want a drone for?"
Seeing Lin Quan walking away, Roy muttered quietly.
Zhao Cheng shook his head, "Maybe it's some use!" But as long as the boss supports our procurement plan, it's pretty much it, by the way, what equipment do you want, tell me, I can help you buy it when I go to France this time! ”

In the blink of an eye, February has passed, and most of March has passed, and the farm has been busy with construction lately, and the number of tourists coming in and out has decreased, but the number of laborers in work clothes has increased a lot.
At this time, Qinchuan's factory had been built, and he recruited five or six people from China to bring them over, becoming the backbone of the factory, and recruited more than 30 workers from Niger, and at this time he was already in full swing to start training.
For the Nigerienes, the factory in Qinchuan is the result of attracting investment, and one of the skills that Africans have learned when they visit China is to come back and open a lot of economic development zones.
Although they do not learn well, but this at least shows their attitude, that is, to develop, it is necessary to introduce foreign capital to stimulate the country's economy and increase the income of the people in their country, and as long as there are factories, their taxes can be raised, and then taxes will be collected from the enterprises, and then taxes will be collected from the employees who have received wages, so that the government's own money bag will gradually bulge.
This reason is not difficult to understand, because the Chinese government is like this step by step to become bigger, in the early days of reform and opening up, the Chinese government's tax revenue is only pitiful, but now look at it, China's manufacturing industry has become the world's first, the country is full of factories, these factories pay more than 14 figures in taxes every year, and the government has such a huge income, not only can do a lot of things, and the bigger the plate, the more oil and water is naturally more, the government does not have to live a hard life, So these poor governments in Africa are very envious of this.
Generally speaking, the life of African government officials is quite good, but they want to go further, so they pay attention to development, and as the last depression on the world economic map, Africa's own capital is actually quite good.
First of all, Africa is big enough, Africa is the second largest continent in the world, second only to Asia, and the land is vast, so the possibilities are endless.
Second, Africa has a large population, Africa is the fastest growing population in the world, the annual population growth rate is very fast, with the end of the great turmoil in Africa in the sixties and seventies in the last world, Africa began to gradually move towards peace, which gives a good environment for rapid population growth, and the population is growing rapidly, and the proportion of young people is increasing, which means that they have a lot of available labor.
Although the development of industrialization is moving towards mechanization, but low-cost and high-polluting backward enterprises still need a lot of manpower, when other countries in the world have begun to restrict the settlement of such enterprises, Africa, such an economically backward, large population, very low cost place, naturally became their next target.
Thirdly, Africa has a lot of natural resources, including oil, natural gas, coal and various minerals, and even huge gold and diamond mines, which are all wealth, but Africa is not stable enough and the conditions are relatively poor, so it has not been developed.
In fact, there is one country that has discovered these advantages of Africa, and that's right, that is, China.
Western countries have colonized Africa before, so they can be called their suzerain, and their influence on Africa is not small, but because the situation of Western countries has deteriorated in recent years, although their own strength may not have declined too much, but compared with the rising China, it is not the same, so although the amount of investment in Africa by Western countries may not have declined, but compared with China's rapid growth, their influence is declining, which is beyond doubt.
During the Cold War, the Americans and the Soviets fought openly and secretly in Africa, and the bayonets were red, so there has always been a grudge against this part of Africa, and after the Cold War, they basically didn't care much about it, so Africa became the "back garden" of the Chinese, this sentence was said by Europeans, and after seeing China's rapid entry into Africa in various fields, Europeans felt very uneasy.
But they don't have a good solution, except to continue to use the "free" media to smear China, they can't invest a lot of money in Africa to compete with the Chinese.
In this case, African countries are competing for China's investment, countries with resources, countries with better geographical locations, or countries with better relations with China before are of course very advantageous at this time, but there are not many such countries, Lin Quan has stayed in Tanzania before is counted as one, and Sudan and Angola, which are rich, are also counted as one, and other countries do not have such good conditions.
Like Niger, although they have very rich oil reserves, but the exploitation is too difficult, PetroChina enters here and the competition with the French is very fierce, and the oil production after the oil field is exploited is not very ideal, oil extraction requires a lot of water resources, and Niger is a desert country, water resources are very scarce, in order to get water but also in the underground drilling, the work is more difficult, the cost is relatively high, so the follow-up mining investment intention is not very high.
Therefore, although Niger is a country with resources, but it is not liked by Chinese-funded institutions, in this case, large enterprises can not absorb, absorb some small enterprises to settle down, naturally it is also good, so Qinchuan's company was warmly welcomed by the Nigerien government, the leaders were happy, and even gave him a lot of preferential measures, such as reducing the toll of their company's freight.
In Africa, government departments are generally more corrupt, because of corruption, so it is common for the following people to use their power to do things that use their power for personal gain, such as uniting gangs, collecting protection fees, setting up control cards on the road to collect tolls and tolls, kidnapping the rich to extort money, etc., there is nothing you can't think of, only what they can't do!
So when something happens in Africa, there is actually the shadow of the government in many cases, of course, it is definitely impossible at the national government level, but it is difficult to say about the people below.
