The Voheni tribe held a grand banquet to welcome guests from China. Wahir also arrived with some officials of the Siya tribe, and Ori naturally greeted him with a sweep. The officials of the two tribes got together and kissed each other, and the kiss was so loud that Lin Zhenhua and the others felt that they were going to have cold prickly heat just by looking at it.

In addition to Zhu Tiejun, Lin Zhenhua, Chen Tian, Xue Lianshan, Jiang Yajing and other enterprise leaders and government officials, there were also representatives of workers and paramilitary personnel. They sat with black people, and although they didn't understand the language, the sincerity and enthusiasm could be felt by each other. Everyone raised their glasses frequently, and a thousand words were in the wine.

Most of the black Africans have a bold personality, and they take a sip of wine glasses, and their alcohol consumption is often not good, but after a few glasses, their eyes become confused, and the words become more, and some simply twist the African Yangge on the spot, attracting bursts of cheers.

Old Knife spent a few days in the Vohni tribe, and although he was well cared for, the African diet was not something he could bear. This time, when the Woheni tribe was preparing for the banquet, Lin Zhenhua specially brought a few chefs from the construction site and made some Chinese-style dishes, which made Lao Dao finally feel like home. At the dinner table, he held a large sauce elbow in his hand, his face was oily, and his eyebrows were smiling.

"Old knife, I heard that you took the initiative to ask to stay as a hostage this time, not bad, not to shame our system." Chen Tian took a glass of wine, walked to the old knife's side, and said to him.

The old knife raised his wine glass, touched it with Chen Tian, and then drank it all, and said with a smile: "Chen Chu has won the award, in fact, as soon as I saw Chief Ori's attitude, I knew that there was no danger in staying, so I took the initiative to bring it up." ”

Chen Tian smiled secretly and said, "However, I heard that there is another reason for you to stay." ”

"What is the reason?"

"I heard that there is a beautiful girl in Hanhua Company who also stayed, the purpose of your stay won't have anything to do with her, right?"

"Chen, this can't be nonsense. Yongmei is still single. Old Dao's face flushed slightly. Not to mention, in the few days he stayed here, he and Luo Yongmei relied on each other, and they really sparked a little hazy spark. Luo Yongmei is a crazy girl, crazy to the age of twenty, she hasn't found a boyfriend yet, and she is really a good match with Lao Dao. As for how to develop next, it depends on fate.

Chen Tiandao: "How do I remember that you are also single?" ”

"My size...... Alas, Chen, you came here from China, didn't you just want to connect me? The old knife hurriedly avoided the question.

Chen Tian put away his ridiculous look, lowered his voice and asked, "Old Dao, have you gained anything from staying here for a few days?" ”

Lao Dao said: "I have talked with Ori a few times, and I have also talked with some other educated officials in the tribe, and they all said that the Americans have tried to win them over and want to use them to fight proxy wars and squeeze out our power. However, they also said that in this area, the image of the Chinese is very positive, and there are many tribes who are willing to cooperate with the Chinese rather than with the West. ”

"Before I came out, I went to look up the files. In the past, our country has invested a lot in this area, sending medical teams several times, and helping to build hospitals and schools in the local area. The good impression of the Chinese by the locals should be closely related to Li Hui's work back then. Chen Tian said.

Lao Dao nodded and said, "I have also learned from some people, and they have a deep impression of the Chinese medical team more than 20 years ago, especially some elderly people. They say that other countries also send medical teams or other volunteers here, but those Westerners always hold a savior stand in front of the locals, and only the Chinese treat them as if they were their brothers and sisters. Therefore, they feel closer to the Chinese. ”

"It can be seen that these old blacks can still tell who is sincere and who is false." Chen Tian muttered.

Lao Dao said: "Chen, don't underestimate black people, in fact, black people are just simpler, but they are not stupid, they also have their own values." ”

"It's good not to be stupid." Chen Tian said, "Old Dao, since you are here, stay here for a while longer, and I will explain the specific tasks to you in detail after returning to the construction site." ”

"Yes!" The old knife agreed solemnly.

When Chen Tian and Lao Dao were talking secretly, Lin Zhenhua was also chatting with Ori, and they were accompanied by Zhu Tiejun, Li Hui and others, as well as some core personnel of the Woheni tribe. , "Chief Ori, this time, in the words of us Chinese, is not to fight and not to know each other. In the future, we will be a family, and we must sincerely cooperate to build a new home for Africans. Lin Zhenhua said to Ori.

Ori said: "Mr. Lin, I am very sorry about this incident. I assure you that from now on, I will be one family with the Chinese, and your business will be my business. Whatever you need me to do, I'll do. ”

Lin Zhenhua pointed to Wahir, who was drunk at the other table, and said to Ori: "Chief Ori, we have discussed with Minister Vahir, we hope to unite more than 20 surrounding tribes to expand the scope of oil production and build several new factories at the same time. If all these things can be done, then our more than 20 tribes will soon be able to become rich. ”

Ori said, "Great, Mr. Lin, I am willing to do the work of contacting other tribes for you. I know many tribal chiefs, and I just have to tell them that this alliance was initiated by the Chinese, and they will definitely be willing to join. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "In order to express our sincerity to the African people, at the request of Director Li Hui, we decided to donate to build five hospitals for the local area, each with 100 beds. We will hire some of the doctors that the hospital needs from China, some of them in Khartoum, and finally some of them locally. When these five hospitals are completed, they will greatly improve the medical conditions in your local area, especially the infant mortality rate and the deaths caused by malaria, diarrhoea and other diseases. ”

"Really? That's great! Ori clapped his hands, he certainly knew how much benefit the local people would be from building five new hospitals in a place where there was a shortage of medical care. He turned his head to look at Li Hui and said, "Chinese mother, is this what you suggested to Mr. Lin?" Thank you so much. ”

"Ori, you should thank Manager Lin, this is the money from their Hanhua Heavy Industry Group." Li Hui said with a smile. Regarding the donation to build a hospital, she just mentioned it to Lin Zhenhua with an attitude of trying it out, but Lin Zhenhua agreed, which made her feel very moved.

Lin Zhenhua's promise to donate to build the hospital was not a whim, but he saw the far-reaching impact of the medical team that aided Africa and intended to follow suit. Africa is a very important part of Lin Zhenhua's strategic vision for GCA Heavy Industries, and he must carefully plan and lay out in advance. The investment in building five hospitals is about one or two million dollars, which he can fully pay from the profits of the Xiya refinery. With 5 hospitals as a platform, it will be much easier for him to build a tribal alliance with Hanhua as the core.

"Ori, I also want to tell you the good news, these five hospitals are all called Hanhua China-Africa Friendship Hospital, and Director Li Hui will be hired as the honorary president." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile.

"Really? Chinese Mom, Are You Really Going to Stay and Be the Dean? Ori asked Li Hui.

Li Hui smiled and said, "Of course I can't stay and not leave, I still have a job in China, and my husband and children need me." However, I have promised Manager Lin that I will come over often and stay here for a few months every year to deal with the affairs of the hospital. ”

"By the way, Sister Li, I thought of an idea." Lin Zhenhua's eyes rolled, and another idea came to mind: "I want to hire you as our goodwill ambassador for Hanhua Heavy Industries, who is responsible for our company's various charity activities in Africa, what do you think?" ”

The Goodwill Ambassador is the spokesperson who is responsible for representing the company in various goodwill activities, and the image of the Goodwill Ambassador directly represents the image of the company. No one is more suitable to be a goodwill ambassador than Li Hui, as long as the photo of her holding the 4-year-old Ori is printed, it is a living symbol of China-Africa friendship, more convincing than any verbal propaganda. With Li Hui's affection for Africans, she will definitely be able to do this very beautifully.

"Xiaolin, how do you think that one is one out?" Li Hui was taken aback, "You haven't discussed this matter with me in advance, and what kind of goodwill ambassador is there, how can I know what diplomacy is." ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled: "Sister Li, aren't I discussing with you?" Goodwill ambassadors don't need to know diplomacy, you just need to think about how to engage in local charity, and the funds are provided by Hanhua Heavy Industries. In addition, it is not unpaid to hire you to work, and I have decided to pay you 10,000 yuan a year. In the last sentence, Lin Zhenhua lowered his voice and said, this kind of thing can't be heard by others. The annual remuneration of 10,000 yuan was definitely an astonishingly high standard back then, but Lin Zhenhua was willing to pay so much money. In later generations, to hire a celebrity as a goodwill ambassador, the appearance fee is calculated in the millions. In Lin Zhenhua's view, those movie stars and singers who have never done a job since they were young are not even qualified to lift shoes for Li Hui.

"10,000 yuan!" Sure enough, Li Hui almost jumped up as if he had been trampled on, "Xiaolin, you are too exaggerated, my salary is less than 2,000 yuan a year." ”

Lin Zhenhua whispered: "I will pay you 10,000 yuan, which is not much at all." Your contribution to the country is worth so much money. In this way, we will talk about the remuneration later, and you can agree to the goodwill ambassador. ”

"Well, Chinese mother, you come to be a goodwill ambassador, I am the first to approve." Ori followed suit.

"But is this in line with our foreign policy?" Li Hui looked at Xue Lianshan and Jiang Yajing and asked in embarrassment.

Xue Lianshan and Jiang Yajing exchanged opinions in a whisper, and then, Jiang Yajing said: "Director Li, Manager Lin's appointment is an act of their company, and it does not violate our foreign policy. Philanthropy in Africa is also an integral part of our diplomatic work, and it is perfectly fine as long as you take care to strengthen the exchange of information with our diplomatic services in the future to ensure that the actions of both sides are aligned. ”

Li Hui smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll be a good ambassador." ”
