On the charter flight to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, in addition to Lin Zheng, there were many celebrities in the domestic telecommunications industry, several CEOs of "Giant China", and even a director of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the first time that the Republic's large-scale complete sets of telecommunications equipment have been exported to Africa, and the state attaches great importance to this and has dispatched capable forces to make this help for Liberia to build its own wireless communication network into a benchmark project for the Republic's telecommunications industry in Africa, and to make a good start for the Republic's telecommunications enterprises to enter Africa.

On the plane, Lao Ren looked at the airport outside the porthole and said dumbfounded: "I know that Liberia is very poor, but this is too poor, right?" ”

"What's wrong?" Lin Zheng, who was sitting next to Lao Ren, asked with a smile, and at the same time looked out the window, and then he was also dumbfounded.

"Although I didn't expect the airport in Liberia to be so reliable, but this is too shabby, look, look, it feels like this airport is just a piece of land on the grass." Lao Ren pointed to the airport below, and said to Lin Zheng with a smile: "Before coming, the superior leader told us that we should be psychologically prepared for the situation in Africa, and I felt that there was no need for this at that time, no matter how poor Liberia is, but Monrovia is still the capital, no matter how difficult the conditions are, it should be about the same level as the early 80s in China, right?" But looking at it now, I think I'm still overestimating the standard of living of the African people. ”

Lao Ren's words speak everyone's mind.

Everyone knows that Liberia is very poor, because of years of war, Liberia's economy has been paralyzed, but just like the old Ren said, no matter what, Monrovia is also the capital of Liberia, as the face of a country, this airport should be built well, right? What do you see through the portholes of the plane? Let's not talk about how many years the runway has not been repaired. The potholes are like pockmarked faces, let's just say that the entire airport on both sides is full of small bungalows. The tallest building is two floors.

But the director of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, who came with everyone on the plane, said with a smile: "Don't look at this airport, it's a little shabby, but this airport was built with the help of our Africa aid working group back then." Without the help of our Africa Aid Working Group, the conditions in Liberia would have been even more difficult than they are now, and what you see is not this hardened airport runway, but a dirt field runway. ”

"Isn't it?" Everyone was amazed.

"Director Sun, how do you know so much?" Lin Zheng looked at Director Sun in surprise, and suddenly came to his senses: "You wouldn't have participated in the work of helping African friends back then, would you?" ”

As soon as Lin Zheng's words fell, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Director Sun.

"Huh...... When I was younger, I also worked in Africa for a while. Director Sun admitted with a smile.

Everyone looked at Director Sun's eyes and was suddenly full of respect.

Although the Republic's Working Group on Aid to Africa was established more than 20 years ago, people of my generation still remember the media presentations about the difficult environment faced by those comrades working in Africa. There is a shortage of medical treatment, diseases are rampant, and there is an extreme shortage of living materials...... I didn't expect that Director Sun also participated in the working group on aiding Africa back then, which is really unseemly.

"Director Sun, was the situation in Africa really as difficult as it was described in the media?" Lin Zheng asked Director Sun with admiration, "Tell us about it." ”

He really couldn't imagine how the comrades who had helped Africa had persevered under such difficult conditions.

"Yes, yes, Director Sun, tell us about the situation in Africa when you aided Africa."

"Yes, Director Sun, tell us about it, and let us learn and learn......"

While the plane has not yet fallen. Everyone followed suit, of course, there was also a small slap on the back of Director Sun. For every comrade who has participated in the action of aiding Africa, the work experience of aiding Africa back then is an itch in their hearts.

Sure enough, Director Sun's face bloomed with a smile, and he waved his hand vigorously and said, "Don't talk about learning, if you want to say that learning is also learning from you...... Well, at that time, I don't know about the other working groups, but the situation faced by our working group is much more serious than what the media says. At that time, the area where our team was located not only lacked medical treatment, but also had an extreme shortage of daily necessities, and even drinking water was a problem. You don't know that it was stipulated to be dead. One person only has 1.5 litres of water a day......"

"Hiss...... only 1.5 liters of water a day? Everyone was amazed: this is Africa, what can 1.5 liters of drinking water a day do?

"It's not all drinking water, it's all water, including drinking and washing, and that's not all the ...... there's not a guarantee that there will be so much every day."

Listening to Director Sun's eloquent talk, everyone was shocked, although they knew that the conditions were very difficult at that time, they really didn't expect it to be so difficult.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that although everyone is rich, don't buy anything at the airport if you don't have to." Director Sun suddenly patted his head, changed the topic, and said to everyone.

"Why?" Director Sun's words surprised everyone, although everyone did not plan to go to the airport to buy things, but many people were ready to buy something in the store at the airport to bring back to their families and friends on the return trip, why didn't Director Sun recommend everyone to buy it?

"I don't know about the situation in Liberia, but when I went to Ethiopia on a business trip last year...... Well, Ethiopia's airport is the largest transit airport in all of Africa...... But this largest transit airport in Africa is not even half of the airport in Langya City, by the way, that airport is also built by us Chinese, and the various facilities in the airport are seriously insufficient, and the toilets actually have simple toilets, and you have to queue up to go to the toilet. ”

"I'll you!" Everyone was amazed!

Africa's largest transit airport, you still have to queue up to go to the toilet? How difficult are Nima's conditions? I have seen a lot, I really have a long insight.

"At that time, I had to wait for 5 hours for a transfer at the airport, so I went to the airport duty-free shop and saw that there were Chinese cigarettes selling us," Speaking of this, Director Sun smiled proudly: "Guess what, how much is this Chinese cigarette?" ”

"$10, right?"

"It's only $20 to die."

"$20?" Director Sun pursed his lips disdainfully: "Tell you." It's still pandering. ”

$48 a hard Chinese? A group of old smokers on the plane suddenly looked at each other: really...... I'm going to you!

With this psychological preparation, everyone is mentally prepared for Director Sun's next words......

"I bought a bottle of mineral water at the airport, and it cost $2." Speaking of this, Director Sun gritted his teeth and said, "Last time I bought a bottle of water at the Hong Kong airport. It's only $1, and that's it, it makes me feel expensive. ”

“……”

This time, everyone didn't even feel emotional: although they knew that water was a relatively scarce material in Africa, a bottle of mineral water dared to sell for 2 dollars......

Just like Director Sun said, although everyone is not short of money, not to mention that a bottle of water sells for 2 dollars, even if it sells for 20 dollars, it is not unaffordable, but this is really not a price that everyone can accept: Nima is expensive even if it is at the airport. But it can't be so expensive, right?

"Oh, by the way, or the last time at Ethiopia Airport, everyone knows ah, Ethiopia is a predominantly black country, the big black girl at the checkout saw that I was Chinese, and actually asked me to buy her a piece of chocolate." Even though a year has passed, Director Sun still has an incredible expression when he talks about this, of course, this is a deliberate exaggeration.

Really. What Director Sun said aroused everyone's extreme curiosity: "Why? ”

"yes, why?"

"Because everyone can't guess what," Director Sun sold a little. Under the expectant gaze of everyone, he continued contentedly: "She said that she was very tired, her Chinese was very good, and she loved Chinese, so let me buy her a chocolate ......"

"Poof......" Director Sun's words did not fall, Lin Zheng, who was drinking water, was caught off guard, and squirted out of a mouthful of water, coughing twice. Lin Zheng looked at Director Sun with a strange expression and said, "Isn't it?" Director Sun, your charm is so great. Let an African girl fall in love with you at first sight? ”

Not only Lin Zheng, but everyone also looked at Director Sun with ambiguous eyes: Cheng. Director Sun, you are also in your 50s, and there are even exotic beauties who throw themselves into their arms, I really don't see that you are ageless......

"What, you guys, you don't have a proper shape," Director Sun said with a smile: "I asked her why she only asked the Chinese, why don't you want the white people who checked out in front, did the Chinese buy it for you before?" ”

What Director Sun said was so legendary that even the old man, who had always been steady, took the initiative to ask, "What did she say?" Director Sun, did you buy it for him in the end? ”

"How is that possible? At that time, I thought to myself if she felt that Chinese were easy to give money to ask the Chinese, I told the cashier that for Chinese, chocolates can only be bought for their girlfriends and wives, and I am not familiar with you, so I can't buy them for you, and then I got on the plane and talked about this with my colleagues who went out together, and I learned that the staff at these airports have this problem, as long as they see that you are Chinese, they pester you to ask for money and ask you to buy things for him, but they never pester white people. ”

"Why?"

"Yes, director, why do they only ask us Chinese, not Americans and Europeans?"

Speaking of which, these people on the plane, even if they don't often go abroad, have to go out two or three times a year, like Lin Zheng, they have to stay abroad for almost half of the year, and they can get them are economically developed countries such as the United States and Europe, and developing countries like Southeast Asia have also gone, but they have never encountered this situation, and everyone's interest has come for a while: rare.

"Why else, of course, it's because white people are not used to it," Director Sun snorted and said, "Everyone also knows that we Chinese are more friendly, if someone pitifully says that he is hungry and asks you to spend a dollar or two to buy something for him, we will not refuse, right?" It's just a call for Hanako. ”

Everyone nodded frequently, although Director Sun's words were a little ugly, but it is this reason, the words are not rough, not to mention that for these rich bosses on the plane, even for those ordinary people who can travel abroad, really encounter someone who whispers to you for a dollar or two, everyone will give it easily, one is that we Chinese are indeed friendly, seeing this situation ten * will not bear it in their hearts, the other is also unwilling to lose face in front of friends, everyone is a group of people when they go outWho wants to leave a stingy impression on relatives and friends for this two-dollar thing? Anyway, you can't be poor for one or two dollars.

"After a long time, these people will know, and if you ask the Chinese for something, you can get it, since you can get it, why not? To put it bluntly, they are lazy and thick-skinned. ”

"It's been a long time." Lin Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, he thought to himself how many years he had gone abroad, but he really didn't know that the situation in Africa was like this.

"Leaders, please check your seat belts, the plane is about to land." The beautiful stewardess came over and said to everyone with a sweet smile.

"That's right," Director Sun, who was checking his seat belt, suddenly remembered something, and solemnly admonished: "Although Liberia has nominally ceased fire, in fact there are still no firefights, guns are very rampant among the people, everyone try to stay in the hotel and don't go out, even if you want to go out, you must report to the organization and ask the security personnel to go out with you; Again, resolutely do not go to more dangerous places. These are all things I should tell you after arriving at the hotel, and now I will tell you about it, and let everyone have a psychological preparation. ”

Everyone nodded their heads.

Since you have come to Liberia to invest, of course you have some understanding of the situation in Liberia, this country began to fight a civil war at the end of 1989, until August 1996, although the two sides of the delivery have nominally stopped the exchange of fire, but the sporadic exchange of fire and conflicts have not stopped, guns are even more rampant, drugs and skin and meat trade is simply commonplace, and even AIDS in this country has a "penetration rate" of up to 55%, everyone is delicate and expensive, There's no need to put yourself in danger for the sake of momentary pleasure.

It was Lin Zheng, whose eyes fell on a welcoming procession at the end of the airport runway: The following is the official Liberian person, right? (To be continued)
