"But there are exceptions to everything, don't they?" Chen Geng was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Besides, economic reform, the introduction of foreign capital, and the introduction of private ownership have become the voice of Zambia, and I think our cooperation has just given you an opportunity to publicize to the outside world, so that the international community and the people in China can see Mr. Kaunda's determination and practical actions to promote economic reform, which is much more practical than you standing on the rostrum and saying a few words." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"......" Karima was dumbfounded, she didn't expect Chen Geng to be so shameless: aren't these all what he wants to say? He was stunned for a while before he said, "But ......"

"Mr. Karima, I think so," interrupted Karima's words, Chen Geng said: "For Mr. Kaunda, he is now facing a lot of pressure, once he shows a strong belief in re-election, it will inevitably attract the hostility and hostility of countless Western countries, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden and Ghana These countries have fully demonstrated how bad the political environment at home and abroad Mr. Kaunda is facing." ”

"......" Karima stopped talking, Chen Geng was telling the truth, and he couldn't refute it at all.

"I tell you frankly that it is unlikely that the government of our country will make a clear statement in support of Mr. Kaunda, and you know the situation in our country, in fact, the international living environment is also very bad, in this case, Zambia and Mr. Kaunda must learn to compromise, and must allow external pressure to share the opportunities and opportunities brought by Zambia's development to a certain extent," Chen Geng said unequivocally: "Otherwise, you will not dare those foreign forces to take strong measures to interfere in this general election in Zambia by force, right?" ”

"......" Karima listened with sweat on her forehead, and looked at Chen Geng's gaze and was even a little frightened!

As Chen Geng said, Karima and Kaunda know very well in their hearts that if they refuse to compromise in this general election, then the position of Zambian president has nothing to do with their department, and the supreme power in Zambia will inevitably be taken away by the people of Ziluba.

It's just that these people don't pay so much attention to the rules, and in order to achieve their own goals, they are even very likely to break the rules they have made with their own hands, so for Kaunda, for the Kaunda family, they are actually not facing Ziluba at all, but those behind Qiluba, for the entire Kaunda family, the Republic has been cultivated is their last hope, and it is also at this time that Karima knows how ridiculous the small plans before himself and His Excellency the President are: in the face of absolute strength, All intrigues are paper tigers.

"You...... What exactly do you want? Karima lowered his head, ready to throw in the towel.

"I don't really want much," Chen Geng suddenly smiled: "I only need 85% of this copper mine." ”

"What?!" Karima raised his head abruptly and looked at Chen Geng in disbelief: After saying so much, he also left a 15% stake in Zambia?

If you knew this was the case, you can say it bluntly, the difference between 15% and 23% is only eight percentage points, and how much does it fall on Zambia every year? Looking at Chen Geng with tears in his eyes, Karima had a feeling of "You said it earlier, how did you know that you wanted to be like this, you said that you only need this little I would have agreed to ...... a long time ago".

Chen Geng can understand why Karima has such an expression, a copper mine with reserves of three or four million tons, anyway, copper is not worth much now, it can be exchanged for such a large external support, how to calculate it is very cost-effective, but if Karima knew that this is a copper mine with total reserves of hundreds of millions of tons and prospective reserves of more than 600 million tons, it is estimated that he will not say so.

"We want 85% of the equity of the entire copper mine," Chen Geng nodded affirmatively, signaling to Karima that he had heard correctly: "In addition, in the construction process of these major projects and some subsequent subcontracting projects, if Zambian enterprises have the ability to do so, we can also cooperate." In addition, considering the food safety of so many people eating at the same time......"

Feeling Chen Geng's meaningful gaze, Karima's heart suddenly jumped wildly: Isn't it? Could it be that Chen Geng plans to hand over some of the logistics supply to himself?

Karima didn't expect to be able to get the logistics support qualifications of these four construction sites, but even if he only got one, such as providing all kinds of meat, eggs and non-staple food for the construction of hydropower stations, it would be enough to make a lot of money, and if he could become a long-term cooperative unit for the logistics supply of copper mines...... It was a beautiful picture that Karima couldn't even think about it.

Thinking that the wealth of tens of millions of dollars a year can be so easily earned, Karima even had an unreal feeling: Is this real? It's true, right? That's not true, is it?

In Karima's nervous and expectant gaze, Chen Geng finally spoke: "Kari, as a friend, I trust you, if you know of any good company, you can recommend it to me." ”

Karima was suddenly filled with great happiness.

It's one thing to guess that you can give yourself, but it's another thing to be sure to give yourself, although I don't know which construction site Chen Geng is going to give to himself, but even if it is the most unprofitable construction site, he can make millions of dollars in two or three years - not to mention that Karima has no interest, and he can't even pull out his eyeballs for hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, this is really no way, as an industrial minister of a country with a per capita annual income of only a few tens of dollars, for a government official of Karima's level, $1,000 is not a small amount, let alone hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Finally, he hadn't forgotten what to do at this time, and the preface of excitement and excitement didn't match and said to Chen Geng: "Thank you, thank you...... Chen, rest assured, I won't let you down. ”

"I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant," Chen Geng nodded with a smile: "But I have a suggestion do you want to listen to?" ”

"You say." After determining how much benefit he could get from this project, Karima almost regarded Chen Geng as a god, Chen Geng said whatever he wanted, let alone a suggestion, even if Chen Geng proposed some harsh conditions, he would not have any opinion at all.

"No matter who you introduce to do this project, what I hope is that he doesn't just think about making money for himself, and the promise I can give you is that our purchase price from you will be according to the normal market wholesale price, and we will not deliberately lower the price for you, but I hope that you can take this opportunity to drive a group of farmers to get rich together, so that they can grow vegetables, fish, and raise poultry...... These activities make money, and it's best if you buy from them at a price that's 5 to 10 percent higher than the market price, and that way you motivate them......"

Chen Geng's words were not finished yet, but Karima felt his heart pound!

He didn't expect Chen Geng to give himself such an opportunity to make money at the same time, he did not forget to help ordinary Zambian people also enjoy the dividends of Zambia's economic development, to be honest, with the demand and duration of these staple foods such as rice, flour, oil, grain, meat, eggs and vegetables at the construction sites of Runhua Industry, even if their purchase price is slightly higher than the market price, there are a lot of people who are willing to cooperate with him, but Chen Geng not only took the initiative to reduce the price, but also asked himself to raise the purchase price a little? That's a ...... This kind of thing that he hadn't even thought about, he had already thought of?

Karima's heart was full of emotion and shame.

At this time, Chen Geng said softly: "Don't forget, this is also an excellent propaganda point and an opportunity for you to canvass votes." ”

That's right!

Zambia has not had an election for decades, and Karima's thinking is not very suitable for the electoral politics of "every move is for the election", but after being reminded by Chen Geng, he finally reacted, yes, like the previous one looking for a partner in Zambia, this is also an excellent opportunity to canvass votes, and the wider the coverage, the more advantageous his faction is.

For the first time since the two met, Karima thanked Chen Geng with sincerity from the bottom of his heart: "Chen, thank you for the reminder." ”

"You're welcome."

"Now I am really sure that you are indeed good friends of the Zambian people, and only you Chinese will take into account the interests and development of your partners when cooperating, and only you Chinese regard us Africans as friends, instead of thinking about robbing us of our wealth......"

"Don't say that, we just did what we had to do......" Chen Geng's face was a little red when Karima said, am I really so noble?

"No, no, no," Karima said seriously, "I really think so - I couldn't understand why Mr. President is so good to you Chinese, but now I finally understand that only you Chinese are our Africans' best friends." ”

"Hey...... I'm a little embarrassed to hear you say this," Chen Genghe smirked and touched his head: "Well, if you really think so, it would be good to introduce me to a few more projects in the future, we Chinese have always done business in line with the principle of mutual benefit and win-win and common development, and we will definitely make a lot of money here like Western countries, but we will not leave you a mouthful of soup." ”

"You're so right," Karima burst into tears when he heard this, thinking of the minerals that Western countries had dug up from Zambia in the past hundred years that belonged to all the people of Zambia, but Zambia had not benefited from it in the slightest, he was furious, holding Chen Geng's hand and refusing to let go: "Don't worry, I still know a few friends in Africa, and I will help you for free what projects you want to do in the future!" ”
