"Mr. Sun, welcome to you, on behalf of Charles. President Taylor welcomes Your Excellency and greets you on behalf of His Excellency, who awaits you at the Presidential Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"Charles, who had been waiting at the airport for a long time. President Taylor's secretary Samuel. Blasi held Director Sun's hand and said enthusiastically.

"Mr. Samuel is polite," Director Sun nodded, the smile on his face warm but reserved, "I am also looking forward to the next meeting with His Excellency the President." ”

Coming to Lin Zheng, Samuel. Blasi's expression became a little more enthusiastic: "Mr. Lin, on behalf of His Excellency the President and the 4.5 million people of Libyan Lea, I would like to welcome you, and the people of Liberia welcome you as if they were their own relatives. ”

"Thank you," looking at the chubby black man in front of him, Lin Zheng held his hand warmly while guessing with the greatest malice in his heart how much this guy had contributed to the poverty of Liberia, and said: "Helping the Liberian people live a happier life is also the wish of our Chinese people, and I firmly believe that we will be able to achieve a win-win situation with the Liberian people." ”

Black Shu millet just won't be subtle, hearing Lin Zheng's words, Black Shu millet was so happy that his back molars were exposed.

……………………

Poor!

It's so poor!

This is Lin Zheng's first impression of Liberia after entering the city, Monrovia is also the capital of a country, but looking out of the car window, there are no buildings more than 5 floors in the whole Monrovia, there are basically two-story buildings on both sides of the road, almost all the buildings are tattered, the people I see on the road hardly have a decent clothes, and the bullet holes and graffiti on the walls everywhere are silently telling Lin Zheng that this is a country that has just ended a civil war that has lasted for more than 7 years, well, And whether he could see pedestrians carrying AK-47s made Lin Zheng extremely suspicious that he was in a safe environment.

Pointing to the pedestrian holding the AK outside, Lin Zheng looked at Samuel in surprise. Blasi asked, "Mr. Samuel." If I remember correctly, it seems that the civil war in Liberia is over and His Excellency the President has effectively brought the situation in Liberia under control? ”

"Of course," Samuel. Blasi glanced out the window with a nonchalant expression. Obviously, he has long been accustomed to this situation, and said to Lin Zheng with a smile: "This is normal in Liberia, you don't have to worry, of course, these guns scattered among the people have indeed caused some not very good effects on social stability." His Excellency the President has decided to launch a nationwide campaign to collect firearms in order to guarantee social stability. ”

Black Corn Collects Guns? Lin Zheng and Lao Ren glanced at each other, and a touch of distrust flashed in their eyes: Is it okay for Africa to be a paradise for AK, from the hands of the Black Shu Millets? Hehe......

Director Sun's brows also furrowed, in this moment's effort, he has seen no less than a dozen people swaggering on the street with AKs, this is a great destabilizing factor, even if the black Shu Xiao's marksmanship can be accurate to the extent that it is difficult to accurately hit a buffalo 50 meters away, but these guns scattered among the people will always have a great impact on the construction team.

"Mr. Samuel," thought for a moment. Lin Zheng to Samuel. "In order to ensure the safety of our construction team, can we buy a batch of firearms to equip our construction team?" ”

"For your workers?" Samuel. Blassi asked in surprise, Lin Zheng's question was a bit out of Samuel. Blasi's surprise, even if Lin Zheng said that he wanted to invite the security team to be in Samuel. Blasi expected, but equipping their construction team with firearms? He immediately voiced his concerns: "That's a group of workers, even if they were given guns, would they use them?" ”

I didn't expect Lin Zheng to ask such a question, Director Sun was just about to stop Lin Zheng and ask him not to talk nonsense: This is on the land of someone else's country, what is the matter with you equipping our construction team with firearms? But the next moment, Samuel. Blasi's words made Director Sun stunned: They didn't refuse?

"That's right. to our workers. Lin Zheng nodded affirmatively.

"We can send troops to protect your construction team," Samuel said. Blasi looked at Lin Zheng sincerely, and when he saw Lin Zheng looking at him with a persistent face, he immediately continued: "But it's OK." That's not a problem, and I'm sure Your Excellency the President will agree. ”

Samuel. Blassi agreed so happily, not only Lin Zheng was a little uncomfortable, but even Director Sun and Lao Ren grew their mouths: These Black Shu Huang's hearts are inevitably too big, right? Can you agree to this kind of thing?

but not Samuel. Blasi continued: "But as a friend, I sincerely advise you on one thing. ”

"Huh?" Thought Samuel. Blasi wanted to tell himself about the management requirements for the use of these firearms, and Lin Zheng hurriedly said, "Please speak." ”

"That's right. Although our war is over, damn the Guineans just don't want to see the Liberian people live a stable and peaceful life, and they support the damned Liberians to oppose the Democratic United and the government. "So when you go out, it's best to go out with a lot of people and carry some weapons for self-defense. ”

“……”

If the secretary of the president of a country openly advises you to carry a gun when you walk around in your own country, it is almost unsafe for you to carry a gun without a gun. Faced with this situation, not only Lao Ren, Director Sun and others were speechless, but Lin Zheng was also completely convinced.

Before we came, of course, we did some homework on the current situation in Liberia. Taylor, the major warlord, has managed to take control of Libya, but since the beginning of this year, a rebel group has been formed in northern Liberia against Taylor, which calls itself the Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy.

Although under the banner of Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy, this Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy is an out-and-out military rebel organization, which has set off a number of terrorist incidents and military violence attacks in northern Liberia, and the Liberian government claims that Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy is supported by neighboring Guinea. This country, which is nominally at peace, is still at war.

"This ...... Is the situation serious? Lao Ren couldn't hold back any longer, and carefully asked Samuel. Blasi asked.

"No, no, no, of course it's not serious, our people have long been used to it." Samuel. Blasi waved his hand indifferently: "Well, just to be on the safe side." ”

“……”

Well, just to be on the safe side.

……………………

Perhaps it was the emergence of Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD) that gave Charles the opportunity to do so. Taylor was under too much pressure when he met with Lin Zheng and his party. Charles. Taylor's bright expression made Lin Zheng extremely suspicious of whether this guy was really a big warlord.

After a brief greeting, Director Sun directly entered the negotiation state: "Your Excellency, the people of the Republic are very willing to help the Liberian people get rid of the war and live a happy and stable life, and are willing to help Liberia establish its own telecommunications industry. However, after a comprehensive assessment of the current situation in your country and its capacity to pay, we believe that some changes are needed to the payment methods proposed by His Excellency the President before, as well as some recommendations for your country's previous development strategy. ”

As soon as Director Sun's words fell, Charles. Taylor immediately looked at him with a wary expression: "You want my diamonds?" ”

Liberia began large-scale mining as early as the early 50s of this century, and the export volume of industrial-grade diamonds and gemstone diamonds exceeded 1.1 million carats at the peak, and by 1989, Liberia's cumulative diamond production reached 11.5 million carats, making it one of the world's famous diamond producing regions.

As one of the biggest warlords in Liberia, Charles. Taylor was able to control the country, and the most important thing was that he controlled nearly a third of the diamond mines in the whole of Biberia. This is also the biggest source of finance for his next fight with Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy, and it is impossible for him to hand over the diamond mine resources in his hands to the Chinese, if the Chinese dare to fight his diamond mine idea, Charles Brown. Tektronix doesn't mind stopping this collaboration.

Director Sun waved his hand and said, "Diamond mines are the most important resource in Liberia, and we don't have any idea about your country's diamond mines. ”

"Really?" Listening to the Chinese say that they are not in the idea of fighting the diamond mines in their own hands, Charles. Taylor's face suddenly softened a lot: "Then what do you mean?" ”

Lin Zheng laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this: The diamond mine is valuable, but this thing can't be eaten or drunk. It is indeed a good thing for an individual, but for a country, the value of a diamond mine is far less important than the value of an iron ore, coal mine, copper mine or even an oil field of equal value. It's a good thing that Taylor is a warlord like No. 1. But Lin Zheng really didn't take this thing seriously.

"Of course it's true," Director Sun raised a finger and looked at Charles. Taylor said: "Iron ore! We want the right to survey and exploit iron ore and coastal oil resources. ”

Targeting Liberia's mineral resources, which is a basic policy that has been established before leaving the country, is the basic policy of Liberia as a "least developed country". Taylor threw it into the pan and couldn't squeeze a few taels of oil. However, Liberia is rich in mineral resources, in addition to diamonds, Liberia is also rich in iron ore resources, in addition to copper, quartz ore and other mineral resources are also very rich, and there may be oil and gas reserves along the coast, but due to the long-term civil war, the exploration and development of the above resources were forced to stop, and the mineral deposit information statistics are incomplete, and they still need to be re-explored and confirmed, but these are not problems at all for the Republic.

It turned out to be iron ore and oil? Charles. Taylor was immediately relieved in Charles. Taylor's view, compared to diamond mines, iron ore and coastal oil exploration and mining rights as a payment method is still very cost-effective, years of civil war, so that Liberia's iron ore mining has come to a complete standstill, many mining areas have been closed, if the Chinese are willing to mine iron ore, not only can increase their own financial income, but also help themselves stabilize the social situation, this is of course Charles. Taylor would love to see that.

But as a warlord, there is still to be a bargain, Charles. Taylor is a warlord, and no one with a little intelligence can be a warlord.

He frowned, frowned at Director Sun, and said, "You mean, you help me build a telecommunications network, and Liberia will hand over iron ore to you for mining?" ”

"Yes."

"But iron ore and coastal oil fields are our precious resources in Liberia," said Charles Brown. Taylor said, ignoring the fact that Liberia's coastal oil fields are now only theoretical, and not even a single coastal oil field has been exploited so far, bargained with Director Sun, and said, "But ...... Well, who made the republic a good friend of the Liberian people, this payment method is acceptable, and what is your proposal? ”

"With your country's current per capita income, it is almost impossible to ensure that your country's telecommunications companies are profitable, and I believe His Excellency the President knows this." Director Sun said seriously.

Charles. Taylor frowned, but he had to admit that what Director Sun said made sense, and nodded reluctantly: "That's right, can you help me solve this problem?" ”

"It's not for you to solve it, we have a plan to help the Liberian people increase their income," Director Sun looked at Charles sincerely. Taylor, but Lin Zheng clearly saw a ...... from Director Sun's back No, it's the nine fox's tails wagging desperately: "If the Liberian people can quickly raise their incomes, not only will the telecom companies be profitable, but your rule will be more secure." ”

"Huh?" Charles. Taylor's eyes lit up suddenly, now, Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy has made him anxious, in the battle with Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy, his army is constantly retreating, if his rule can ensure that the people's living standards are improving, it means that he has more supporters and a steady stream of soldiers, for a dictatorial warlord, there is nothing more important to him than to consolidate his dominance.

Charles. Taylor stood up impatiently, rushed to Director Sun almost two steps, looked at him eagerly and said, "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course!" Director Sun looked at him with a sincere face and said, "You should believe in the friendship of a Chinese." (To be continued.) )
