Aiping hurriedly wrapped a towel around the door and asked in English, "Who?" What's the matter? ”

"Waiter. I would like to inform you that dinner has been postponed to half past seven. ”

"Got it."

Aiping ran in, "Wuyang, enjoy it slowly, there are still two hours to eat." ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about running out of time." Come on. ”

The spring in the room is even stronger.

At dinner, the director smiled and asked, "Mr. Li, do you wonder why you want to postpone your meal?" ”

Wuyang shook his head, "Why?" ”

"We learned from Mr. Li's inspection of the mineral vein to enter the forest park that Mr. Li is not a member of a green environmental protection organization, so we replaced the meals originally arranged and specially prepared a full table of game, thank Mr. Li for his help to the development of our country, and thank you for your personal generosity to us."

Wuyang smiled: "The masters are too polite. Although I am not a member of an environmental protection organization, I also hope that the global village we share will not lack too many members, and your country will not lack such excellent tourism resources. ”

The Commissioner said, "What Mr. Lai said is right. This time, our wild animals were also searched from the base to the storage rooms of various hotels and hotels, and they were not killed because of Mr. Li. ”

"Well, since it's all made, let's eat it. Mr. Director, I will pay for the amount of money you have spent on this. ”

The commissioner held out a finger, "$10,000." ”

Wuyang thought, this is not a cheat, the price level here, I don't know how many things I can buy for $10,000, you know. this country. The vast majority of people live on a daily basis. It won't be more than $1.

Wuyang still smiled casually, "Mr. Director, I will give it to you later, but tomorrow your hard work may not be paid off until Addis Ababa, and I don't have enough cash in my hand." ”

"Mr. Li, don't pay for your hard work anymore. This time we are already earning a lot of money. The $10,000. It's not the price of game, but the bones of wild animals, such as lion tusks, rhino horns, ivory and so on. The lion's teeth are made into handicrafts and worn on the body, which can ward off evil spirits, and your country has always used rhinoceros horn in medicine, which should also be used. By the way, there are also some deer whips, I heard that they are in your country. It can also be used as medicine. Mr. Lai, the life of our residents here is too hard. As long as there is a drought and no pasture, the cattle and sheep will die in large numbers, and now that the international ban on killing and trafficking in wild animals has been implemented, their only way to make money has been cut off. Mr. Li has a special plane to return to China this time, and we will pack it and label it with the diplomat's luggage, and he will also enjoy immunity when he leaves the port in your country. ”

Wuyang said: "Mr. Commissioner, this has contributed to the poaching of the poaching practice. ”

"In fact, Mr. Li came this time to work to prohibit poaching, and to ban poaching, only when the economy is developed and the people's living standards have improved, can it be banned from the source. This time, as long as one percent of the land you buy can be mined for gold, and the gold content is above the mining standard of 3 grams per ton, at the current international rate of 1,300 US dollars per ounce, the tax generated will double our country's fiscal revenue, and if Ms. Yu's investment plan is implemented and operated, then our country can catch up with rich countries such as Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana. ”

Wuyang said: "Mr. Director is worried about the country and the people, and he is an example for officials. I hope that as the gentleman said, gold can be mined. Our country's concern and support for the African people is as good as ever, and private investors are also coming out of the shadow of the hostage-taking and shooting incidents in the early years, and Ms. Yu is just one of them, and funds and technology will continue to flow in the future. Your country will be better every day. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lai, for your best wishes. Mr. Li, I still have a building, did you ask Ms. Yu to buy the land we inspected and marked on the first day? ”

"It's too small, it's a farming area, and even if there's gold, there's not a lot of reserves, so there's no real point in mining."

The director said, "Mr. Li, have you analyzed the geographical location there?" It borders Somalia, Djibouti, Sudan, Eritrea, Egypt, Saudi Arabia across the Red Sea, and other countries have explored for oil, but our land does not? ”

Seeing Wuyang shaking his head, he continued: "Yes, without exploration, no one can say that there is none. So, Mr. Li, I asked Ms. Yu to buy it, and I remarked it on the map, and I bought a large area of land from northwest to southeast, except for the city and the forest park. ”

Wuyang said with a smile: "Mr. Director, what a big investment it will be, I estimate that it is 1,500 kilometers long, and if it is 50 kilometers wide, it will be more than 70,000 square kilometers." At an average of $75 per hectare, that's nearly $600 million, and if you can't extract oil, or if your country is not politically unstable, that money will be lost. ”

In fact, Mr. Lai's worries are all due to his lack of understanding of the situation. The length of this land is long, but there are many cities, railways and many highway lines, and there are forest parks in the south, so it is only about 800 kilometers. The width can't be as Mr. Li said, 50 kilometers, I think, as long as there are no obstacles, what about 100 kilometers, 200 kilometers? With land, even without oil, land can increase in value as the economy develops. Then there is the problem of political instability, it is true that there have been several changes of power in our country, but none of them has deprived the factory owners, merchants and landlords of their property, and it is still those who suffer and die of hunger and disease who have nothing. ”

Wuyang said: "Mr. Director, I have been convinced, I will tell Ms. Yu tomorrow." Here, let's toast. ”

On the afternoon of the fourth day, the helicopter returned to the base of departure, and Counselor Yang Chen waited at the base, and when he saw the afternoon sun, he said: "Mr. Li, your special plane took off at 7 o'clock this evening, refueled in Mumbai and rested for an hour on the way, and arrived in Spring City, which is February 20 local time. That is, two o'clock in the morning on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Your luggage and 8 Chinese tourists will also travel on the same plane. What is your opinion on this arrangement? ”

"No comment. There are still 3 hours left. How did you arrange it? ”

"Ms. Yu is waiting for you in the café opposite, please inform me of the situation in the past few days, and the information of several ladies will also be handed over to Ms. Yu."

"Okay, please lead the way, let's go over right away."

When you leave the base, you can see cafes renovated into bark houses, and many bark houses are connected together, which is a high-end café. On the side of the road in front of the café. There were all kinds of high-end cars parked, and two women who didn't know if they were officers or police officers were guarding.

Wuyang parked the car on the side of the road, and Yang Chen also arrived on foot. "Mr. Li, these two are police officers from the security department, and there are six of them in total, and they are responsible for protecting Ms. Yu's safety."

Wuyang said, "Is this necessary?" ”

"Ms. Yu is now a celebrity here, she has signed so many investment projects, her personal safety is not her personal matter, it is always good for us to be prepared. Inside please. ”

As he walked inside, he asked, "Why are there so many cars?" ”

Yang Chen said: "It's the family of these tourists. They're here to see them off. Let's go to Ms. Yu's coffee house. ”

Pulling open the door decorated with large wood, Yu Huijuan was quietly sipping coffee alone. The air conditioning made it a little cold inside, and she wore a coffee-colored jacket and jeans, not like a big boss, but like a student. Seeing them walk in at noon, they smiled faintly, "Please take a seat, I'll ring the bell and let the waiter serve coffee." ”

"I'm not used to drinking coffee. ”

Yu Huijuan said: "I didn't get used to it at first, but after drinking it for a few days, I liked it." The coffee here has a wine-like aroma and a rich chocolate aftertaste that seems to be inseparable from it. ”

Yang Chen said: "China is the origin of coffee, and the taste of coffee is particularly pure. If Ms. Yu likes it, I hope to recommend it to your friends. ”

Wuyang said: "Ms. Yu, our investigation has been successfully concluded, the video and photographic materials are in these two bags, you have put it away, and the rest of the work will be hard for you." I also promised Mr. Director that I was going to buy all the veins and some land I saw that day, and you could contact Mr. Director for details. Mr. Counselor, when we have had coffee, please take them to their families and arrange dinner. ”

Yang Chen said: "Dinner has been arranged, and it is in the café's restaurant. Dinner starts at 6 o'clock sharp. Coffee is coming, Mr. Li, please, drink coffee while it's hot, it's not fragrant if it's below 60 degrees. ”

Wuyang also followed his example, picked up a cup and drank it while it was hot, the coffee was indeed fragrant, but when a cup of coffee went down, sweat began to break out on his forehead. Look at Aiping and them, but they are drunk as if nothing happened.

"This coffee is really different, I'm going to take some back."

Yu Huijuan said: "I prepared 50 kilograms for you, and several of their families also prepared some for them." After I became addicted to drinking, I arranged for someone to purchase it. ”

Wuyang said: "Mr. Counselor, your country's coffee, in our country, is not as famous as Brazilian coffee, and maybe the sales are not so good, right?" ”

"This is my country's businessmen sales strategy is wrong, the price is set low, your country is rich to drink coffee, of course, the high price is the first choice, now to increase the price, must be on the basis of increasing publicity, the launch of a new brand."

Yu Huijuan said with a smile: "Mr. Counselor is really on the right track, if he can change careers to business, he will definitely be a particularly successful businessman." ”

Yang Chen said: "It seems impossible for the time being. There are not many people studying in your country in my country, many people have already gone to business, we have no economic foundation, and it is better to serve the country in a solid manner. ”

The three of them spoke Chinese, Aiping and the others didn't understand it very well, so they got up to leave, so Yang Chen had to take them away.

"Wuyang, how is the situation today?"

"Today I mainly looked at the southern and central plateaus, and I didn't look closely at the hills and plains in the southeast. The plateau is still 3 veins and 80 kilometers long. ”

"Why didn't the southeast watch it?"

"The director asked you to buy all the border areas from the northwest to the southeast, and I agree with this mentions, so keep it for later, and you can explore oil in this area first." Their country's oil is completely imported, and if it can be explored, it will be good for them and for you. It's all very good things. ”

"That's it. We need to buy land and barren mountains. How big is the area? ”

"I haven't counted it, so it shouldn't be less than 150,000 square kilometers."

"Buying such a big place, will it cause unnecessary suspicion?"

"It's okay, you can only mine these mineral deposits by building hydropower stations and roads first, and hydropower stations and roads can really serve their economic development, which is better than anything else."

"Afternoon sun. My investment this year will definitely exceed $5 billion, and that's not counting the purchase of land. In the future, the investment will increase year by year, and in five years, I estimate that it will exceed 100 billion US dollars. What I'm most worried about now is not how to build them, but how to build them, and they will take them into the state and drive us away. ”

"Don't worry about that, unless they are in a state of hostility with our country. Otherwise, it's impossible. The thing you need to pay attention to is at the beginning of the project. It is necessary to recruit local engineers, technicians, and management personnel, and the labor force must basically be recruited here, and they should not be too ruthless, and the wages and benefits should be appropriately higher, and more food and clothing should be purchased to help them. ”

"When you go back, you will arrange for someone to help me distribute about 10,000 tons of rice, no way, I heard that they had a bad harvest last year, and now there is no food in the treasury. My people are busy purchasing machinery and equipment, so I have to ask you for help. ”

"That's as it should be. Don't say you don't help. ”

"This time I have to go to the port of Djibouti, if the Somali pirates rob it, I will buy it and send it again, after all, the pirates also have to eat."

"It may be better now, piracy is not so rampant, and our country is ready to cooperate with other countries and send out naval escorts."

"The sea is so big, unless you form a large fleet, you can't prevent it. I arranged that when our machinery and equipment came, we formed a large fleet and applied to the Navy for escort. ”

"Xiaojuan, I think your investment project, should also add automobiles and mechanical and electrical products, you look at the highway, there is no car produced by themselves, mechanical and electrical products I don't say anything else, that is, after you build a hydropower station, to build transmission lines and irrigation stations, how many of these products are needed."

"I remember, take it one step at a time. I've been busy for the past few months, and I've already transferred the two deputy directors of the people who are in charge of hydropower development in Myanmar and the monitoring center, and I will manage a team of about 500 people, so it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

Wuyang said: "Xiaojuan, your management team is full of talents, will you also manage the investment projects in Ghana?" ”

"I don't want it, and I can't control it. Think about it, if we do a good job here, will so many underdeveloped countries in Africa come to the door? As long as we come to the door, we can't ignore it, otherwise people will definitely find trouble, they can't help, can't they help? Besides, there are so many doctors and masters under your board of directors, how many of them are like me? Speaking of which, you still haven't moved away from the family-owned business model. You're bold enough to send a few PhDs out now and see if they can do it? Okay, if any country invites us to invest, let them go over, and build infrastructure such as electricity and transportation, and then it's not too late for you to go and see if there are any gold mines. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Mrs. Xie taught." ”

"Don't be poor, just lend me money, I will take care of all the investments in Egypt that you borrow." Yu Huijuan said with a smile.

"Borrow anything, I'll give it to you, it's useless to keep it anyway."

"Wuyang, I am not short of these billions, the main thing is to let the company have enough funds to deal with the ever-changing market shape and the competition in the domestic market. If I can't ask for it anymore, you give me about 40,000 tons of copper every year, which is about 1.5 billion, and more than 70 billion in five years. How do you want me to thank you? ”

Wuyang had already stretched out his hand, "I want you." ”

When I returned to Spring City, I took Aiping, Aihe, Aitang and their classmates to the villa area, and asked the administrator to arrange for the classmates to live in a villa, and I took 3 people to live in a villa. The three of them had to fall into jet lag, and they didn't come out of the excitement, tossing around the afternoon sun, and they couldn't open their eyes before they fell asleep tiredly.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Wuyang got up alone, and after washing, he went to see the animal bones. These things are easy to identify from the outside, the long 6 large boxes are ivory, a few wooden boxes contain rhinoceros horn, and a few small wooden boxes must be opened to know.

Open one, inside is a plastic bag of dried sweet potato color things, Wuyang is estimated to be a deer whip, open it and smell it, a smell comes to the nose. This is a really good thing, and the Chinese people believe in it, so let's send two to the elderly relatives and friends.

made up his mind, immediately called Secretary Teng, and after saying New Year's greetings, he asked if he was at home and wanted to come over to pay New Year's greetings.

Secretary Teng said, "Didn't you worship just now? ”

"I've brought back wild deer whips from Africa and I'll give you two to make wine."

"No, I'll make arrangements later. Oh, Swallow tell you. ”

"Brother Li, hello."

"Swallow, how are you doing?"

"Okay. Brother Li, what gift are you going to give me a New Year's greeting? ”

"I just came back from Africa, and I don't have anything to send. Give Duan Kai a watch, and yours will make up for it later. ”

Wuyang has made up his mind, the watch that has been in his trouser pocket is gone, and it is a good choice to give it to Duan Kai.

"I'm kidding you. A few of our peers in the yard also invited our parents to meet at a farm in the suburbs, you come over, we are just preparing for the AA system, and you will have a boss when you come. ”

"Yanzi, it's not a problem to pay money, it's just that people are unfamiliar and uncomfortable."

"Most of them are familiar to you, so you don't have to send deer whips from one family to another."

"Okay, you tell me the address."

Teng Yan said the address, and after Wuyang heard about it, he knew that a villa by the Dianchi Lake in his villa area was sold the year before last, but he didn't expect it to become a farm.

Quickly packed up the deer whip, asked the villa administrator for a small plastic bag, the administrator didn't have it, and drove a motorcycle to buy it, and after buying it, each bag contained two and 10 bags.

At this time, all three of Aiping got up, knowing that Wuyang was going to a party, and all three of them were going to go.

Wuyang knew that they didn't understand the rules, and thought that being a lady here was just like being a lady in her own country, and she could casually go in and out with her husband. So I patiently explained.

Aiping said: "It turns out that we came to China, is it illegal to be a wife?" So is Aixue and Aijuan illegal? ”

"Of course, they are all the same as you, and the same is true of those girls, you go and explain it to them, it's too late to regret it now."

Aiping said: "I don't regret it. ”

"I don't regret it either. ”

Aitang smiled, "Me too." ”

"Since you don't regret it, the chef will cook for you later, rest at home honestly after eating, and go back to Lanjiang City with me in the afternoon."

"Wuyang, we still have a way to go." (To be continued......)
