Chapter 106: Charity
The most striking thing about the Natu mobile phone is that it is the world's first high-tech mobile phone to be launched in Africa. The people of Africa are eternally young and always in tears, and there is a high-tech company that values their well-being so much.
The African broadcaster ABC, which Ouyang Fen is responsible for, has also officially started its business, integrating the resources of many newspapers, broadcasts and media in sub-Saharan Africa, making Natu Mobile a rich program.
The godfather has many beautiful CEOs, Charlotte is the most famous, Ouyang Fen is also very good, especially she is stronger than Charlotte, she can talk eloquently in front of the media in English, and attracted global media invitations when ABC and Natu mobile phones were released.
It has to be said that this ABC shows the innovation ability of Chinese companies and improves the national image of the whole of China. Because the African media said the most about them before was negative news such as "Chinese distant-water fishing vessels are illegally fishing in the economic zone to which Mauritania belongs".
This is the first time that a company has been able to help African people move into the Internet age with half a foot in it, and that just a little bit of money in their village can bring a completely different information atmosphere to a village.
In the first three days of the mobile phone release, a total of 300,000 Natu mobile phones were sold, and the development momentum is good.
Because of the impressive work of the ABC, some NPOs began to notice that the godfathers also had some projects to help Africa develop agriculture, and they were willing to use the funds to try to dig seawater canals and engage in saltwater agriculture.
In order to preserve the water and soil of the plants, agricultural experts helped the project develop a more water-efficient alternative to drip irrigation – using a breathable and impermeable plastic bag to pack the plants and irrigate them with a trickle of water to keep the sand moist for a long time. With the advent of this thing, it is basically possible to cover 5% of the irrigated area of the land for water withdrawal.
The power generation cost performance of the solar sail of Zongji Technology is unparalleled in the world, providing good power for the agricultural base. Because of electricity and the Internet, the agricultural base developed by these godfathers has become the African base of many NGOs, and their staff especially like it, after all, even the Internet is so reliable, which has greatly improved their enthusiasm for work.
In today's information society, it is difficult for human beings to adapt to life without the Internet, and even volunteers are not comfortable.
The agricultural base is in full swing in the eyes of the media, and with the help of small cranes, a group of black brothers are busy building houses made of local clay bricks. These bricks are professionally machine-pressed, but they are very flat and standardized, so the house built is also very square and quite emotional.
The most bizarre sight is that Wang Zhan's favorite means of transportation, which is claimed to be the cheapest and safest flying machine, has been improved and popularized here.
The traditional glider relies on the wind to obtain lift, the glide ratio is only 1:7, that is, the height of a hundred meters can only be advanced 700 meters, the maker community like Wang Fang gliding super enthusiasts have invented a three-layer structure of the glider, using helium to fill the inside of the parafoil, can make the surface as smooth as a soft airship, so as to obtain a high glide ratio, can reach 1:50, and will not take up too wide space.
This three-fold glider, like the SolarPulse that flies around the world, only needs more than 30 kilometers per hour to fly, so it is very quiet and very energy-efficient in the air.
In Africa's roads-scarce countryside, this inexpensive aircraft is more cost-effective than transporting passengers in a car. It was officially used massively by the saltwater agricultural base for the transportation of people and goods.
When media people saw so many flying machines coming and going in the sky, they thought that they had arrived at some glider club in Europe and the United States.
These flights are not allowed to fly more than 30 meters above the ground, and the speed will not exceed 50 km/h, so anyone can learn quickly without psychological barriers, just treat it as a car, which is very safe.
The local African brothers affectionately call it the "sandwich in the air".
Because this thing is so fun, basically everyone in the agricultural base has learned this "mainstream means of transportation" that is almost unimaginable in civilized society.
It is equivalent to the popular three-jumper among residents in small Chinese towns, and the car used to be by Lao Wang. I'm afraid that only in Africa, a lawless place, can an air vehicle become popular, and no one cares anyway.
Historically, it has sparked imitation and popularity in the Western world in poor areas of Africa, and is quite popular among flying enthusiasts, who have purchased or made such aircraft as entertainment.
There are also Europeans, Americans, and Chinese who go on pilgrimage to the birthplace of fashion, mingling with the local aborigines, and can't tell which air sandwiches are indigenous livelihoods and which are the playthings of travelers.
Sometimes you have to wonder about life, you think that agriculture in the desert is really hard, but you don't expect that the abundant sunlight gives these plants vigorous vitality, melons and fruits are especially delicious in saltwater farms, which may be why agriculture in Israel and California is particularly developed.
Wang didn't want to rely too much on modern agriculture in a place like Africa, so his agricultural technicians planned a plan for him to plant a large number of beans first, because the roots of the beans can live in symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and the nitrogen fertilizer is continuously obtained from the air. Nitrogen fertilizer is the most needed fertilizer for crop growth.
The three treasures of fertilizer are: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, in which potassium fertilizer will remain in the soil for a long time after being applied once, and the demand for phosphorus fertilizer is not high for all plants, so nitrogen fertilizer has become the key to the growth of various crops and a vital part of the ecosystem.
China is also a middle-income country, full of self-confidence. If you have to say that you have to start doing charity in the extreme poverty areas of Africa on a large scale, it may start from Boss Wang, I don't know why, the rich suddenly like to go to Africa to do charity, and give a lot of donations to Boss Wang's saltwater agricultural bases in Mauritania, Western Sahara, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia and other countries.
The best advantage of starting from scratch in an otherwise deserted place is that it will not conflict with anyone's vested interests, and no matter how unreasonable human beings will agree with the truth that this place is developed by you, and the main interests belong to you.
In the early days of the development of the agricultural base, the base was basically isolated from the world, and without the official invitation of the base, ordinary people did not know where the base was, let alone a conflict of interest. By the time the saltwater canal penetrated deep into the indigenous settlements, the base's investors and employees were already so large that neither the local government nor the warlords dared to offend them.
Boss Wang and his rich friends just played happily in their charity paradise, and those rich people who donated dollars later found out that I had become a committee member of the farm, and the income from selling products on the farm actually earned back all the money they donated, so they donated more happily, as if they were addicted to charity.
Boss Wang, his old friend Boss Wu and other partners came to the edge of the canal of the farm, looking at the green vegetable fields on both sides, and felt how beautiful they were.
Boss Wu said: "Time Magazine's Most Influential Person of the Year should be given to you, you see how many poor Africans our Boss Wang has fed!" He looked at the African farmers working in the fields and was impressed.
"It's the result of everyone's efforts." Boss Wang said hypocritically.
Everyone giggled, quite proud.
Boss Zhang: "I used to always hear people say that doing charity will make people happier, I don't believe it, but now I finally believe it, it depends on who to do, with Boss Wang, every step contains infinite creativity, such a farm, I can't think of it even if I die, the realm of the godfather of innovation, I wait for the mountains to look up." ”
Sycophants and flattery are pouring in, after all, the original intention of these old foxes to do charity is to have a good relationship with Boss Wang, maybe Boss Wang saw his partners giving face like this, and when he was happy, he shared the benefits of the next project with everyone. It's not that the old foxes have bad morals, making money is their right thing, and the morality of businessmen is to make money legally.
I heard that businessmen like to talk about business while playing golf, hehe, this is really boring business social, you see, how good is the African charity social invented by our boss Wang, riding along the sea ditch in a quiet hexahedron style to watch the green vegetable fields on both sides of the river, what a high-level sensory enjoyment.
The vegetable field is watching, the breeze is blowing, and the little joke is talking.
Boss Wang's depression seems to have eased a lot. Well, he still hasn't started taking his pills. It's holding up.
In the midst of infinite joy, he suddenly received an urgent notification from the company's intelligence department that unknown militants had looted the farm, and there had been a horrific killing of farm employees, and it was not far from several rich friends, and the intelligence department immediately asked them to turn around and leave.
it! These rich friends are worried about their own lives, and this kind of thing actually happened under the bright future, which is really ...... It's Africa.
After escaping from the danger zone, Boss Wu said angrily: "We should recruit mercenaries and fight back!" ”
Boss Wang, who should have been the most excited, said: "It doesn't matter, it's good if we don't develop here in the future, can't we hide if we can't provoke the warlord?" Of course, it must be reported to the UN peacekeeping force. ”
This is Somalia, the land of the outside world, the lawless place where monks wear umbrellas.
Boss Wu: "Then our investment here will be in vain!" ”
Boss Wang: "No way, this is Somalia." Other farms will earn it back. "He really didn't pay attention to it, the development of the desert is for greening and carbon emissions, even if it is robbed by the warlords, these water canals will still be kept, and agriculture will continue to be carried out, so that his goal will be achieved."
Seeing Boss Wang's light and breezy appearance, the bosses praised the "saint" one after another.
