At nine o'clock the next morning, Johnson Lin was sitting on a bench in the woods of the green park at Joburg General Hospital, reading with a local newspaper in his hand.

South Africa's economic situation is really not very good, the international community has imposed a long-term trade embargo on the white South African government, and the export trade has naturally been hit hard, South Africa has not only lost the European market, but the Reagan administration of the United States, which was originally secretly supported, is now also swaying, and the Western lobby is persuading the United States to stop continuing to support South Africa.

Originally, after World War II, South Africa's economic construction has made great achievements, built a very developed road network, and their employment methods were also very effective during that period, a large number of black laborers would pour into the city during the labor season, and the white South African government issued good citizenship certificates to these people, and during the holidays, these blacks returned to their hometowns to farm or do something, and the whites did not care, saving worry and effort and there was no labor insurance and pension problems.

This not only solves the employment problem in South Africa, but also the black labor is also very cheap, creating a lot of wealth for South Africa, but in the context of the international economic depression in the seventies and eighties, there are a large number of unemployed people in South Africa, and the black laborers who have no jobs can no longer leave the city and cannot return to their hometowns, and they need money to live in the city, and they are unskilled and unemployed, and they began to take to the streets to protest against the exploitative rule of whites, to protest against whites enslaving them like donkeys and horses, and to protest against whites for discriminating against them and not allowing them to do this and that!

Now that South Africa's domestic economic environment is deteriorating, this movement will intensify even more, and inflation and economic downturn will have a very serious impact on domestic investment, import and export trade, and manufacturing, so that the process of South Africa's modernization will be curbed.

And because of the species of South Africa. Tribe. Partition. The separation system has been universally condemned by the international community for isolating the country and the domestic race. Frequent conflicts and social unrest have led to financial outflows, and the increasing military and administrative expenditures to control the situation have led to successive fiscal deficits in South Africa.

Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia's neighbors are all black governments, which have natural contradictions with the white colonial governments of South Africa.

Soviet forces also intervened in Africa. They brought in tens of thousands of Cuban troops, armed the countries in the north of South Africa, and provided them with a large number of weapons, and the MiG-21MF and MiG-17 bombers of the Cuban Air Force inflicted heavy losses on the South African Air Force and ground forces.

Lin Qiangsheng scratched his head, South Africa at this time is really not good, and now it is almost a dead end! Unless its army wins a decisive victory, destroying all opposition in the north and suppressing the protest movement in the country. But it's too hard, and a lot of the white people who live here feel like their government won't be able to support it for long. There have been compromises in favour of abandoning the system of the past.

Lin Qiangsheng picked up a newspaper with more military reports in South Africa, and it was full of some exciting military news. Politics. Behind the scenes of the party South African GMD support.

According to what Lin Qiangsheng has learned, the international arms embargo is also imposed on South Africa, and South Africa also lacks advanced technology and equipment and has no research and development strength, and it is also unable to purchase new fighters and new weapons from other countries.

I don't know why, Lin Qiangsheng feels that South Africa and China are still really imagining, and they are also being besieged. But China's international environment is much better than South Africa's. Relations between China and the United States have improved considerably, and some weapons can be sold to China.

The South African Air Force's first-line Mirage 3 fighters are already lagging behind Angola's MiG-23/27 and Su-20/22 in terms of speed, avionics and weapons.

The South African Air Force urgently needs modern fighters and equipment to deal with the growing threat of Soviet-made weapons, but the arms embargo makes it difficult for South Africa to purchase military aircraft, and it also lacks the aviation industry and technical base to develop a new generation of fighters, so the only way to go is to upgrade existing fighters.

However, under the arms embargo, South Africa is still able to receive technical assistance from some countries, and it is much more active and efficient in its actions than China. After all, it is a country ruled by white people, and secretly many Western forces are still sympathetic to South Africa, which provides a lot of convenience for South Africa's actions. For example, a lot of foreign investment has now been withdrawn, but the cutting-edge equipment and technology used by it have been left to the South African government.

Moreover, for the Western world, South Africa was an important strategic partner in the Cold War. For countries that need to import raw materials and Soviet-made weapons from South Africa, it is easy to exchange or buy what they want from South Africa.

South Africa, which had been fighting for a long time in southern Africa, armed with the Soviet Union, was the first country to capture a complete Soviet-made SA-8 surface-to-air missile system, SA-16 Stinger Sky portable surface-to-air missile, AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher!

Foreign intelligence agencies are more than happy to offer South Africa advanced technology in exchange for Soviet-made weapons. In addition, a number of companies from countries such as Israel and West Germany are also active in technical exchanges and cooperation projects with South African defense companies in weapons upgrades.

In fact, the South African Defence Force has profited handsomely, with South Africans upgrading the Elephant tank from the Centurion, the Great Lynx wheeled armored vehicle, the V3B and V3C air-to-air missiles, the ZT3 laser-guided anti-tank missile, and precision-guided air-to-ground weapons.

Eventually, South Africa established a worldwide network of smuggling of design drawings, weapons components and production technology, which greatly facilitated South Africa's weapons research and development. The tip of the iceberg of the network has occasionally come to light, but has never been hit hard.

The newspaper that Lin Qiangsheng read was full of articles about the South African Air Force's bombing of the Angolan Liberation Organization's Angolan People's Movement (MPLM) and the destruction of many Cuban Air Force targets, not only the army's strikes, but also the guerrillas on the northern border.

Lin Qiangsheng looked at these news that boosted the morale of the people and laughed, the white South African government is really poor in donkey skills. This method is actually used to confuse the people. Also, there is really nothing to report on the victory in the war when the domestic economic environment is deteriorating.

Not far away, the walkie-talkie on Abraham's body rang, he asked a few words, then walked to Lin Qiangsheng's side and said, "Mr. Lin, Wiscamp is here." ”

Lin Qiangsheng took out his sunglasses from his jacket pocket and put them on, he had to keep a low profile in South Africa. Even his current identity was born in Central America. Gulfman, everything seems to be the real thing, and there is indeed such a young man who grew up in Central America.

He stood up and turned his head to look the way he came. A man walked down the woods path was his South African agent, Wieskamp, a Boer of German descent, mostly of Dutch descent, but also a small number of Germans and French.

Walked up to Lin Qiangsheng's side, Wiskamp took off his hat and saluted, and said, "Hello, Mr. Lin! ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at this old man in his fifties through his sunglasses. Not as decadent as he was when he first recruited, he said to Wiskamp: "Sit down, what news has you brought me?" What other valuable factories can be acquired in Joburg? ”

Wieskamp said with a slight excitement: "Yes, sir, we have visited many divested companies and closed factories, and there are many projects worth buying!" We have also called many factories that are about to leave South Africa and are about to close down, and they are also willing to sell their businesses at a low price, everything can be discussed! After speaking, the old man's mood was slightly lost, he lowered his head and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Lin Qiangsheng.

Lin Qiangsheng took the document and opened it, and there were more than a dozen pieces of paper, all of which were lists of enterprise factories, all of which were factories that had been withdrawn from foreign capital and abandoned or were being sold and closed down.

Wiescamp bowed to Lin Qiangsheng and sat on the bench respectfully waiting for the boss's inquiry. It's not that Westerners don't understand these rules, but they don't force people to do that.

Previously, the old man had not worked for a year and six months, and he also had three school-going children, and he saw that most of his life savings were about to be spent, but fortunately he was recruited by Lin Qiangsheng when he was desperate.

Wieskamp was originally in a German-funded company, but with the increasingly embarrassing domestic economic environment, German Capital first laid off employees and finally couldn't hold on and decisively abandoned its business in South Africa.

This enterprise is engaged in special vehicles and equipment, involving mining and transportation, engineering construction, docks and ports and other categories, the German side has transported some valuable equipment away, but many large equipment left in South Africa and cannot be transported. It also costs a lot of money to transport these things back, and the Germans simply threw them away.

The first job that Wiescamp accepted was to buy the equipment at the lowest price, and he lived up to Lin's expectations and negotiated a total of $400,000. Also acquired the entire business.

Six Belas 65-ton mine dump trucks and some construction vehicles, special vehicles for the wharf and port, and many large equipment, 400,000 US dollars is simply a bargain!

Although the model of these equipment is old, it is still the best equipment to be shipped back to China, and South Africa still has a large number of such companies to be excavated by Lin Qiangsheng, after all, South Africa has the reputation of a mining country.

The information is very detailed, and the name is followed by a list of the company's operation, type of manufacturing, as well as the reason for the divestment and the value of the acquisition.

Lin Qiangsheng looked at more than 200 companies on more than ten pages, and he couldn't help frowning, now South Africa's economic environment has really deteriorated to a very serious extent. Even if the business is still good, the company can still operate, but it can't stand the market environment and chooses to withdraw as soon as possible. Even if it is okay, the factory workers may strike at any time, maybe in the morning the workers are working well, but in the afternoon none of them will go to the strike.

Lin Qiangsheng began to think that some companies would move all the equipment back to China after acquisition, while the other part of the company would stay in South Africa to continue production, but if they stayed, they would continue to deal with the workers who kept making trouble, and they were all black, and they couldn't beat or scold them. They can beat and scold and even kill people, and if you beat him and scold him, you are disagreeing. To see it is guilty!

In fact, there are opportunities in South Africa at this time, and many of the companies that remained in the end became conglomerates during the last black rule, but there are Europeans behind them.

And it's not okay to move all the equipment back to China, maybe it's okay at first, and when there are too many times, it's time to demonstrate, and then you will be in big trouble if you don't riot!

Besides, most of the good companies have been accepted by the South African government, and the remaining equipment can naturally be imagined, although it is as cheap as picking up garbage, but the technology is indeed far behind the world.

Lin Qiangsheng is thinking about how to solve this matter, everyone doesn't produce but the people always have to consume, even if most of the people in this country are black, they also need to eat, and the demonstration also needs to be strong! (To be continued.) )
