Chapter XXXIV The Industrial Dream of the Province of Zambezia
The Minister of Industry of Zambezia Province, a province in the central region of Mozambique, a southern African country, Abdo. Moroza walked with a group of entourage at the venue of the Frankfurt International Machinery and Equipment Fair, he was full of ambition, and he felt that the opportunity for his own achievements to go further had come!
Mozambique broke away from Portuguese colonial rule in 1975 when he was studying at the Polytechnic University of Madrid in Spain and was unable to take advantage of the opportunity. As an authentic returnee, he has dreams and ambitions, but he is unwilling, the country is still in turmoil, but he has no place for talent.
Abdo. Six years after Moroza's return, in April 1983, the Fourth Congress of the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FLM) decided to identify the Mozambican people. Common. and the three major tasks of the country in the future, defending the motherland, defeating underdevelopment and building a society. Willism. This congress not only determined the people of Mozambique. Common. And the three major tasks of the country have elected the people of Mozambique even more. Common. and the governor of eleven provinces.
Abdo. Moroza's friend Geim. Harobi was elected governor of Zambezia province through a democratic vote. Geim. Harobie was full of ambition, and as soon as he came to power, he launched a series of policies, land reform plans, construction industrialization plans, and so on.
As the most knowledgeable industrialized economy in the entire province of Zambezia, Abdo. Moroza, naturally by Geim. Harobi was invited to serve as Minister of Industry in Zambezia Province. Out of the mountains is naturally conditional, Geim. Harobi in order to put Abdo. Moroza asked for a trip out of the mountains and set aside $50 million from the government treasury to finance the industrialization of Zambezia Province.
The $50 million is a quarter of the revenue of the entire province of Zambezia in the next five years. Abdo. Naturally, Moroza was deeply touched and resolutely went out of the mountain. For a time, Abdo. Moroza was naturally ambitious. He is confident in building the province of Zambezia for the people of Mozambique. Common. and the most industrialized region of the country.
At that time, Geim. Harobi handed over $50 million to Abdo. When Moroza was in his hands, he was full of deep affection for Abdo. Moroza said: "Abdo, my good friend, I will hand over the 50 million dollars to you, which is a quarter of the revenue of our Zambezia province for the next five years." You must make good use of this money, and the future of Zambezia Province will be handed over to you! I hope that I will be able to see us in Zambezia Province as our Mozambican people in my lifetime. Common. and countries. and even Birmingham in Africa. ”
Abdo. Moroza was deeply touched and enthusiastic, and promised with great ambition: "Dear Governor of Geim, rest assured! The experience of studying abroad in Spain made me understand the gap between our Africa and Europe. In the next ten years, we will build our Zambezia province into the Birmingham of Africa, I dare not absolutely guarantee, but, in the next ten years. Build our province of Zambezia into our Mozambican people. Common. And the country of Birmingham, I have absolute confidence. In addition, in the next two decades, I am confident that our province of Zambezia will become the Birmingham of Africa. ”
This Abdo. Moroza was not completely overwhelmed by the blood. A trace of geographical wisdom surged over his head, and he did not boast of a huge, unfillable sea port. Instead, he set himself a longer-term deadline.
Building a Birmingham in Africa is not an easy task. It had just been out of Portuguese colonial rule for a short time. The country is again in civil war with the people of Mozambique. Common. The country is poor in terms of industry, even within a few hundred kilometers of Mozambique. I can't find a factory that can produce industrial machine tools.
But for that, Abdo. Moroza doesn't worry, as long as he is given enough time, it can all be done. Because he knows that in Europe, there is first-class industrial equipment, and he has 50 million US dollars in his hand, so why can't he buy all this?
Of course, it is impossible to use all the 50 million dollars to buy equipment. Moroza knows very well that the construction of industrial modernization is not something that can be solved by industrial equipment, and to build industrial modernization, roads, factories, workers' dormitories, workers' welfare, etc. are indispensable.
Besides, Geim. Harobi gave him Abdo. Most of Moroza's $50 million is for the Mozambican people. Common. And the country's national currency, the metica, which is not available to buy products on the international market.
While studying abroad in Spain, Abdo. Moroza had heard that Frankfurt, Federal Republic of Germany, hosts the International Machinery and Equipment Fair every early summer, which is the world's top machinery and equipment exhibition.
This time, Abdo. When Morosa got the news of the opening of the National Machinery and Equipment Exhibition in Frankfurt, he took several of his entourage and rushed from Mozambique to Frankfurt in the Federal Republic of Germany. In his pocket, there were 10 million US dollars in foreign exchange, which was all the foreign exchange capital he used to build the industrial modernization of the Northern Province.
Abdo. Moroza knew that this 10 million US dollars was not easy to come by, so since he went abroad, he and his entourage stayed in the most affordable hotels, ate the simplest food, and took the cheapest means of transportation.
"Minister Moroza, that's the CMI Group booth over there." One is called Ulasimo. Rasmu's retinue against Abdo. Moroza said. Ulasimo. Rasmus is also a wanderer who has seen the world abroad, but instead of studying, he works as a coolie outside, and after a few years of learning English, he can barely read the English letters on the sign above the booth.
The word CMI is what Abdo Moroza told Urachimo. Rasmu's, Urachimo. Rasmuh has been looking for the word CMI since he entered the exhibition area.
"Great, I'm looking for CMI." Abdo. Moroza said with great interest: "You know what? CMI is one of the top 50 companies in the global equipment industry, and in the electrical industry, they are among the top five companies, especially their engines, which are the world's leaders.
CMI is a leading global manufacturer of power equipment that designs, manufactures, distributes, and provides aftermarket services for engines and related technologies, including fuel systems, control systems, air intake, filtration, exhaust gas treatment systems, and power systems.
Other than that. CMI Group's machine tools, that's also quite powerful. Their ranking in the machine tool industry is also among the top 20 in the world. When I was in Madrid, I had the privilege of visiting a demonstration of CMI's machine tools, which are more flexible than our fingers and can carve the crest of a Real Madrid club and a copy of King Juan of Spain. The avatar of Carlos I is coming! Awesome, right? ”
Abdo. Moroza is very complacent and confident in his erudition, and in front of these people, he has a very superior feeling! Especially when he spoke out about Real Madrid FC and King Juan of Spain. The name of Carlos I made his uninformed entourage feel unclear, and then revealed that "the Spanish kings of the Real Madrid club have seen it." The minister is so powerful", which made Abdo. Moroza was very accomplished.
"The site carved the emblem of the Real Madrid club and the Spanish King Juan. The head of Carlos I, the engraving should be a reference, the minister must have seen the Real Madrid club and the King of Spain, it is really amazing! "Abdo. Moroza's retinue made up his mind like this.
"That's amazing, it's amazing!" Abdo. Moroza's entourage exclaimed.
Several people squeezed through the crowd and came to the front of CMI's exhibition area. CMI is worthy of being an international large enterprise, and the exhibition area alone occupies more than 300 square meters of space, in which there are seven or eight miniature models of various generator sets. There are diesel generator sets, gas generator sets, gasoline generator sets, hydroelectric generator sets, coal-fired generator sets, etc.
In addition, there are lathes, drilling machines, boring machines, milling machines, planing machines and other ordinary machine tools, grinding machines, gear processing machine tools, threading machine tools and other various precision machine tools, coordinate boring machines, gear grinding machines, thread grinding machines, high-precision gear hobbing machines, high-precision engraving machines and other high-precision machine tools. as well as CNC machines.
Of these machines, only seven or eight are real objects, and the others are miniature models. Due to the limited space at the booth. The equipment freight is too high and the installation is troublesome, and CMI Group Ren is very rich. I won't all move over.
More than a dozen CMI staff members were scattered throughout the exhibition area, introducing their products to customers from all over the world.
"This is a coal-fired power set. It is able to convert the heat energy generated by coal combustion into electricity through the power generation power unit, we have good coal resources in Mozambique, which can save us some foreign exchange, so this is the first equipment we need to understand. "Abdo. Moroza commanded his entourage.
"And these models are all machine tools, including lathes, drilling machines, boring machines, milling machines, etc., CMI's machine tools are really complete! If we want to develop industry, we must have these things, and without these things, it is all empty words. "Abdo. Moroza introduced himself to his entourage.
"Sir, can I help you in any way?" At this time, a staff member of the CMI Group came over and asked politely. Just Abdo. Moroza didn't notice that behind the staff's professional smile was a cold and arrogant air of complacency.
"Hello, my name is Abdo. Moroza is the people of Mozambique. Common. Minister of Industry of Zambezia Province, Central Province of the Republic of China, what do you call him, sir? "Abdo. Moroza greeted him in fluent English.
During his studies in Spain, he worked hard to learn English, and was able to speak fluent English to talk to people, in addition, he was also fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, and knew Spanish, naturally because he had studied in Spain for many years, and Portuguese is the official language of Mozambique. Speaking of which, this Abdo. Moroza is also a capable person, at least, he knows three Chinese.
"Hello, Minister Moroza, my name is Luis, and it is a great honor to be able to serve you. Which of our devices are you interested in, and I can tell you about them. ”
Still behind the professional smile, Luis replied in an arrogant tone, but Abdo. Moroza was already attracted by the mechanical equipment in front of him, and did not notice the arrogance and contempt hidden in his tone.
"I'm all interested." Abdo. Moroza said in an envious tone, "In April of the previous year, we, the Fourth Congress of the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique, identified us the people of Mozambique. Common. and the three major tasks of the country in the future, defending the motherland, defeating underdevelopment and building a society. will be ism, so we Mozambican people. Common. In order to accomplish the task of defeating underdevelopment, the country is carrying out industrialization. ”
"For industrialization, we need power generation equipment, mining equipment, smelting equipment, machinery and equipment, etc., and I think your CMI Group will be a good partner for us."
"Minister Moroza, I think so too." Louis said in a slightly disdainful tone: "Well, Minister Mozzaro, what equipment do you want to know first?" ”
"Generator sets, we are very short of electricity in Zambezia province." Abdo. Moroza said seriously.
Subsequently, Abdo. Moroza pointed to the model of the coal-fired generator set in front of him and said, "Mr. Louis, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the model of the coal-fired generator set, right?" ”
"Yes, this is the main engine of a 700,000 kilowatt coal-fired generator set - the steam turbine, its technical level is absolutely world-leading, including more than 350 patented technologies of our CMI Group. If it is combined with the control system provided by our company's production, it can be unattended. You see, this photo is what its main control room looks like. Louis came in without pause.
"It's just so advanced!" Ulasimo. Rasmui in Abdo. Moroza exclaimed. Judging from the photos, the substation workers don't look like workers at all, they are dressed in clean and neat professional suits, holding coffee in their hands, and in front of them are rows of green monitoring panels, is this a scene from a fairy tale world?
"This set of equipment should be very expensive, right?" Abdo. Moroza was not confident enough to ask, but a little boldly.
Abdo. Moroza still has a little bit of knowledge, he has read books in Spain for so many years, and he has some simple understanding of various industrial equipment, so he concluded that the 10 million US dollars in his hand may not be enough to buy a complete set of coal-fired power generation units in front of him.
Luis replied: "It's not expensive, this complete set of equipment, plus the control system provided by our group, adds up to about 680 million US dollars." If you need on-site installation, as well as after-sales service ......" (to be continued......)
