The operation of the Xiya refinery does not need Lin Zhenhua to sit in person, Kong Haijiang and Cao Wenqiang, who were responsible for the installation of equipment here in the early stage, have done a good job in management, and there are some masters to check it, which is enough.

Zhenhua arranged for Kong Haijiang and Cao Wenqiang to serve as the Chinese managers of the Xiya refinery, and they were stationed in Africa on a rotational basis, each for a period of six months, and both of them gladly accepted. Personnel stationed in Africa have a high allowance for going abroad, Kong Haijiang

is a model husband who takes care of his family very much, Cao Wenqiang has not been married for a long time, has just had children, and they are all people who care about income very much, so they are naturally very happy to let them continue to stay in Africa.

It is said that the living conditions in Africa are poor, but in fact, the living conditions of the Chinese personnel here at the Xiya refinery are not bad. Hanhua Heavy Industries is a company that pays great attention to labor protection, and has built spacious and comfortable housing for employees, as well as canteens, bathrooms, cultural rooms and other facilities, and the conditions are even better than in China.

As technical experts from abroad, the Chinese also enjoyed the VIP treatment in the local area, and Vahir once hinted to them that they could find a few local girls to sleep with them, but all the Chinese cadres and workers flatly refused on the grounds of discipline.

After arranging these things, Zhu Tiejun, Jiang Yajing, Li Hui and his entourage set off to return to China, while Lin Zhenhua stayed with Chen Tian, Lao Dao and others, intending to see the projects built by Hanhua Heavy Industries in other parts of Africa.

The first stop that Lin Zhenhua and the others arrived at was the Northern Province of Wusang. Four years ago, Lin Zhenhua put forward a slogan at the Frankfurt Equipment Exhibition to "build an industrial system plan with 10 million US dollars", and the Northern Province was the first to respond. Now, four years have passed, and the industrial seeds sown back then have now blossomed and borne fruit.

Saying that Lin Zhenhua was coming to the Northern Province, the Minister of Industry, Harori, drove hundreds of miles with his entourage to the border of the Northern Province to greet him. In order to import various industrial equipment from China, Harorre has been to China several times, when Lin Zhenhua

I also received him, so we are very familiar with each other. As soon as the two sides met, Harorey pounced on him and gave Lin Zhenhua a bear hug. However, when he tried to kiss Lin Zhenhua on the face to show affection, Lin Zhenhua hurriedly flashed

It's on.

"Well, Mr. Hallore, I'm very sorry, we Chinese are not used to such courtesy." Lin Zhenhua said in shock.

Harorey laughed: "Oh, I know, when I went to China, I found that you Chinese are very reserved. ”

"This is Chen Tian, the general manager of Beijing Yidong Trading Company, and this is Mr. Lao Dao, who is a technician of our company." Lin Zhenhua introduced to Hallore.

Harori hugged Chen Tian and Lao Dao separately. There was a little trouble when holding the old knife, that is, the waist circumference of the old knife was not at all something that Harory could hold.

"Let's go, I'll take you to visit the construction achievements of our Northern Province." After the greetings, Harori said to Lin Zhenhua and others.

The group got back into the car, and Lin Zhenhua sat on an off-road jeep in Harory. Harory himself drove the group and led the group along the newly built highway to begin the tour of the entire Northern Province.

Northern Province claims to be a province, but in fact it is only the size of a prefecture-level city in China and has a population of only 800,000. The first place where Harorey took Lin Zhenhua and his entourage was their industrial park, where Lin Zhenhua and others saw a factory with Chinese characteristics, which was the African version of the "Five Local Small Industries" designed by Zhu Jinwen for Haroret.

"This is our fertilizer plant, which was built by your Hanhua Heavy Industries, and it was put into operation the year before last. Now the fertilizer produced by our factory can not only meet the needs of agricultural production in the northern province, but also be exported to other provinces. Hallory introduced to Lin Zhenhua with great interest.

Lin Zhenhua asked: "So, now the farmers in our northern province have already used chemical fertilizers?" ”

"With it, our agricultural production has risen sharply since the beginning of the previous year, by 30 percent the year before, by another 30 percent last year, and if the weather is okay this year, we are sure that it will increase by another 30 percent." Harorley Road.

"Three 30%, doesn't that mean double the grain?" Lin Zhenhua said.

"Yes, since last year, our local hunger problem has been completely solved. Earlier this year, a United Nations team visited us and said that our under-five malnutrition rate had fallen below 20 per cent, the best in sub-Saharan Africa. ”,

Reducing the rate of child malnutrition to less than 20 per cent is indeed a good achievement. You must know that at that time, the average level of this indicator in the whole of southern Africa was about 25%, and the country of Uzan was a relatively backward country in southern Africa, and this figure used to reach more than 30%. Of course, this indicator is not the highest in Africa, where the malnutrition rate of children under the age of 5 was 66 per cent in India and 68 per cent in Bangladesh, according to the United Nations. As for China, the indicator was as high as 16% that year.

"In this way, the Northern Province has also solved the problem of food and clothing?" Lin Zhenhua asked with a smile.

"It's settled." "Now our goal is not to solve the problem of food and clothing, but to be rich." We, Governor Naal, have said that in his tenure, we want the people of the Northern Province to live as prosperous as the United States. ”

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult?" Lin Zhenhua said bluntly.

"Look at that slogan." Harori pointed to a huge placard in front of him and said to Lin Zhenhua.

"Uh...... I don't understand. Lin Zhenhua said.

Only then did Harorey remember that the official language of the place was French, and Lin Zhenhua did not understand French. He hurriedly explained to Lin Zhenhua in English: "What is written on it is the promise made by our governor Nale to the voters during the election campaign, give me 20 years, and give you a miraculous northern province." ”

Lin Zhenhua only felt a chill in his vest, and he suddenly wanted to meet this governor of Nale, this gentleman has the characteristics of a traverser.

"Mr. Lin, you see, it has only been four years now, and our Northern Province has undergone miraculous changes. We couldn't even produce a single screw in the past, but now we've been able to produce tractors. Hallory said.

As if to annotate his words, with a loud rumble like a tank division driving by, a walk-behind tractor loaded with cargo rose from the horizon, spewing smoke from its exhaust pipe that shot vertically into the sky, like an 18th-century battleship.

"This is the tractor that our farm machinery factory produces in-house." Harori said proudly, and after that, he quickly explained: "Of course, the drawings of the tractor were provided to us by your Director Zhu Jinwen, and now our agricultural machinery factory has been able to produce 3 such tractors per month." ”

"Well, this is also a breakthrough of zero, congratulations." Lin Zhenhua said sneeringly. This tractor does seem a bit too sci-fi, but for a place like the northern province of Uzan with no industrial base, it is indeed a very remarkable thing to be able to produce tractors on its own.

"This is our steel mill with an annual output of 2,000 tons of crude steel."

"This is our cement plant, and we are now completely self-sufficient in the cement we use in the Northern Province."

“……”

One

On the way, Hallorey introduced Lin Zhenhua to the factories in the Northern Province, all of which were built with the help of China in recent years. Coming in and out of the factory were mostly local black workers, and they wore them

Wearing blue cloth overalls, they all look full of pride. Among the many blacks, Lin Zhenhua could occasionally see one or two Chinese faces, and he knew that they should be technicians sent by various Chinese companies

At present, the core technology of these factories is still in the hands of Chinese enterprises.

Out of the industrial zone, Harorre then took Lin Zhenhua and others to see the new look of the countryside, because for two consecutive years

The grain harvest has been abundant, the living conditions in the countryside have also improved greatly, and farmers can be seen everywhere building new houses. According to Harorley, the bricks, steel bars and cement used by these farmers to build new houses are also produced by the province itself.

The price is much lower than in the past. It is said that some wealthy families have begun to use wrought iron doors and windows, which is of course also thanks to the commissioning of local steel mills.

"I really didn't expect that just a few new factories would change so much." Lin Zhenhua sincerely sighed that what he used as a comparison was the situation of the Woheni tribe, which seemed to be much poorer than here because of the lack of industry.

"And that's just the beginning!" "The next step is to build more factories, and our people need electrical appliances, they need motorcycles, and they want to live a modern life." ”

"I think they can live like this." Lin Zhenhua said, "However, to build an electrical appliance factory, as well as a motorcycle factory, the investment is much larger than the construction of the previous factories." Your current agricultural machinery factory has no problem building a few tractors, but if you want to build motorcycles, I'm afraid it's much worse. ”

"It doesn't matter, we will continue to introduce more advanced equipment. Mr. Lin, can you Chinese provide complete sets of equipment for manufacturing motorcycles? Hallory asked.

Lin Zhenhua nodded and said, "If you can afford it, I think we can provide it." ”

"Too

Well, we now only trust in Chinese equipment, and Chinese equipment is the best. Hallore said, and after saying this, he also realized that he had overdone his sycophants, after all, he was educated in the West, you know

China's industrial technology is still far behind that of the West. So, he hurriedly added: "Of course, I mean that under the same offer conditions, let's say, spend $10 million, and no Western country can do it for me."

We provide a complete set of industrial equipment. ”

"In our Chinese language, it's called good quality and low price." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Hallory said.

After a long circle in the Northern Province, Harorey finally brought everyone back to Kango, the capital of the Northern Province, and told Lin Zhenhua and others that the governor of the province had prepared a banquet at the official residence to welcome the distinguished guests from China.
