Chapter 891: Misunderstanding?
Shen Jun left happily, he didn't expect Chen Geng to agree so happily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking at Shen Jun's back, Chen Geng had a mysterious smile on his face: nonsense, of course Lao Tzu will agree, the largest copper mine in Africa, although the grade is a little lower, but in front of the super huge reserves of the Lumwana copper mine, the grade is all scum, and the fool will not agree!
If it weren't for the fear that Shen Jun would notice something wrong with the Tai Lisuo he promised, he would even be eager to agree on the spot.
After sending Shen Jun away, Chen Geng turned around and dialed Karima's phone: "Old friend, are you convenient now?" I have something to tell you. ”
"I'm convenient, of course it's convenient," Karima smiled happily, "As long as it's you, I'm convenient at any time!" ”
In the face of Zambia and its own big financiers, how could Karima be inconvenient?
………………………………
"Mr. Minister, you look good." Looking at Karima with a very good complexion in front of him, Chen Geng was a little curious: Recently, many media in Zambia have been desperately pouring dirty water on the "conservative forces" led by President Kaunda, Chen Geng thought that Karima should be a little anxious, but he didn't expect this guy's complexion to look as good as picking up a huge sum of money, which is rare.
"Haha...... It's good to be in a good mood and look natural," Karima smiled very happily, then lowered his voice, and said to Chen Geng with a mysterious face: "Chen, you are not an outsider, so I will tell you directly, don't look at Qi Luba relying on the support of damn foreigners, and now he is jumping very much, in fact, this is all a flaw that we deliberately left for them, and now everything is in the control of Mr. President." ”
"I'm relieved to have your words," Chen Geng nodded repeatedly: "To tell you the truth, although we never interfere in the internal affairs of any country, Mr. Kaunda is an old friend of our Chinese people, and from the perspective of our personal feelings, we still hope that Mr. Kaunda will continue to lead the Zambian people." ”
With Chen Geng's words, Karima's face suddenly turned into a flower.
As Zambia's Minister of Industry, he naturally has some understanding of Chen Geng's identity, an active lieutenant colonel officer of the Republic, and also manages one of the military's largest enterprises.
Although the republic is very poor and has no words in many international affairs (no one pays attention to what it does), the five permanent members are the five permanent members, and when it comes to the critical moment, once the republic speaks out, who dares to do nothing?
"Chen, we're friends, so if there's anything we can do to help, please ask." Karima, who was smiling from ear to ear, said that he knew very well in his heart that Chen Geng must have something to do when he came to find him.
Chen Geng was not polite, nodded and said: "That's the case, our geological experts believe that there should be a large copper mine in this area according to the geological structure and formation history of the Lumwana area, and I hope to get permission from the Zambian government to allow Runhua Industry to send people to investigate this area, and at the same time, if there is really a large-scale copper mine, Runhua Industry will have the right of priority to develop." ”
Hearing Chen Geng mention the copper mine in Lumwana, Karima was very embarrassed, it was a copper mine with less than 100,000 tons and a grade of less than 1%, which did not have much mining value......
Suddenly in his heart, Karima suddenly came up with an idea: Runhua Industry is also building hydropower stations, building roads, and helping Zambia to develop development zones, these projects are all paid by Chinese, everyone is worried about how Zambia should repay this money, if there is really a large copper mine with reserves of more than 1 million tons in the Lumwana area, can this copper mine be used to offset the cost?
As soon as this idea came to mind, Karima was very excited: if it can be successful, it means that Zambia will not only be able to obtain a stable power supply, but also have a multi-functional hydropower hub integrating water storage, regulation, irrigation, power generation, ecological breeding and other functions; In addition, it is possible to get a paved road with a total length of more than 100 kilometers for free, well, maybe even longer; Finally, and the most exciting and most effective benefit of alleviating the current crisis of your faction: an "engine" of Zambia's economic development - economic development zones.
As for the price Zambia will pay? Hehe...... It's been almost 10 years, and the prices of international copper mines and ingots are sluggish, so what if they really give this copper mine? Either way, Zambia earned it.
And it has to be done quickly, as soon as possible, and if it can be finalized within a month, Mr. President will have another weapon to kill Tsiluba.
Thinking of this, the smile on Karima's face became brighter and brighter: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, we are friends, although the right to approve your inspection is not here, but I think Mr. President will definitely urge the relevant departments to approve your inspection procedures as soon as possible." As for what you said about Runhua Industry having priority contracting and mining rights, of course, there is no problem...... Well, I mean, you can organize an expedition right now. ”
How did you agree so happily? Chen Geng was a little surprised, he thought that Karima always had to shirk it, but this is not a bad thing after all, is it? Nodding, Chen Geng said, "Then I'm welcome." ”
After thinking about it, Chen Geng said: "Thank you very much for the generosity of Mr. Minister and His Excellency the President, well, the first batch of 2 million US dollars we promised will be sent over tomorrow afternoon, and the other ......" Chen Geng took out a thick stack of dollars from his bag and pushed it in front of Karima: "This is my little thank you to Mr. Minister, and please be sure to accept it." ”
Looking at the stack of bills in front of him, which should be worth $10,000, Karima's breath suddenly became short: this is almost $10,000!
Quickly put the money away, and the smile on Karima's face became more and more enthusiastic: "How embarrassing is this......"
"Are we friends," Chen Geng smiled, and then asked, "Mr. Minister, let me ask one more question, there will be no problem on the Chiluba side, right?" ”
"Don't worry," Karima smiled confidently at this, "Tomorrow!" Tomorrow you'll see how we deal with that damn traitor. ”
Traitor? On Savonda's side, are the people of Ziluba already considered traitors? But also, for the things that Ziluba did, it is not wrong to say that they are traitors. Thinking of this, Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "Really?" I'm really looking forward to it. ”
————————————————
When Karima said that he would deal a severe blow to the Ziluba family the next day, Chen Geng was still a little skeptical, but it turned out that Karima and Kaunda did do a lot of work secretly, and on the morning of the next day, Zambian state television suddenly broadcast an interview with President Kaunda, which focused on the $20 million loan that Zambia owed to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
Facing the cameras of Zambian state television, President Kaunda frankly admitted that it was true: "Yes, there is indeed a loan of $20 million between the Zambian government and the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, and the deadline for this loan is September 15. ”
"Will our country be able to repay this money?" The moderator asked Kaunda with a worried face: "Mr. President, we all know that our country is not rich, I am afraid that it is not possible to compare it like this, and in recent times, many media have reported on the public speech of Mr. Michael Moore, the secretary of the World Bank, about our debt, Mr. Michael Moore said that if we cannot repay this debt by the deadline, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund will stop all assistance to Zambia." ”
"Yes, I've seen it too," Kaunda doesn't deny (and can't deny it), "but I'm a little confused by Mr. Michael Moore's words." ”
"Confused? How so? ”
"I also watched this interview with Mr. Michael Moore," Kaunda said, gesturing, "but what puzzles me is that Mr. Michael Moore is speaking on behalf of the World Bank in his capacity as an official of the World Bank, or is it just his personal opinion?" It seems that Mr. Michael Moore did not say this. ”
"Really?" When the host heard this, he was immediately surprised, and said to the camera: "Then let's revisit the speech of Mr. Michael Moore, the secretary of the World Bank." ”
A small screen appeared on the screen, which played the speech of Michael Moore, which has been the concern of countless Zambians in the past few days, and the host of the scene looked up at the big screen with President Kaunda - don't worry that the person in front of the TV will not understand, because Michael Moore speaks English, and the official language of Zambia is also English.
This speech was not long, the host listened carefully from beginning to end, and when the video ended, he was surprised and said: "Really, Mr. Michael Moore did not explain that he made this speech on behalf of the World Bank, could it be that Mr. Michael Moore's identity misunderstood us?" ”
Not only was the host surprised, but also the Zambians in front of the TV, including the radio: yes, we didn't hear it either, could it really be that Michael Moore's statement misunderstood us, as the host said?
