1036 Mine Equipment Replacement Plan (3)
"Karen, your minister's car should indeed be changed to ......" This kind of situation, if it were in China, it would definitely not happen, and even walking faster than this.
But Wu Fan and the others had no choice.
If possible, they prefer to walk on their own or drive themselves.
Otherwise, it's faster to take a taxi, and although the capital of Mauritania has a population of millions and there aren't too many taxis, it's definitely better than that.
"Mr. Cui, our minister said that now is a difficult time, and everything must be economical and simple, and if you can use it, you can continue to use it as much as possible. Don't worry, before lunch, we will definitely arrive, Mr. Minister is going to have a banquet for you......" Karen's words made several people suddenly have the urge to scold their mother.
In the morning, I walked a few kilometers like this.
But they were used to it now, and they all sat there in silence and didn't say anything.
As the driver Cullen said, the car was in good condition today, and after the Black Moorish slave got out of the car, he kicked the front of the car a few times, got into the car again, and started driving normally.
Although there were two situations along the way, there was really no major problem, and I just found a few Black Moore slaves on the side of the road to push the car, and set off again. This surprised Wu Fan and the others. Once, they also met with Ismed, the car was in trouble, and the road for more than two kilometers had not been lit, and finally it was Cullen who found a few Black Moors who were in a daze on the side of the road to help push the car to the door next to the Ministry of Industry and Mines.
It made Wu Fan and the others enjoy the taste of slave owners very much.
"Mr. Minister Ismead, I've kept you waiting......" When Wu Fan and the others arrived, Ismed was waiting at the gate with a few familiar guys from the Ministry of Industry and Mining.
This is a big financier from China, and he didn't do this thing, so he gave himself tens of thousands of dollars, and promised that after the matter was done, there would be more benefits waiting for him, plus these guys did not ask for the right to mine their mines. It's just selling them equipment to use to develop the mining industry.
"Wu, you're finally here. This damn car, when our Ministry of Mines has money, it will have to be replaced with a brand new one! Ismet and Wu Fan and the others touched their noses in turn, and the grandson said with an exaggerated face.
It's not that he doesn't have a good car, it's just for entertaining the Chinese.
Chinese like to engage in small actions when doing business, and if they can send him a few cars, it will be a lot of wealth.
This is also a small gesture of Ismede.
However, he did not expect that these Chinese had sat more than ten times and never took the initiative to bring it up. He accepted nearly 20,000 US dollars from Chinese, and he was embarrassed to offer it.
"As long as your iron ore mine increases the scale of mining, you will definitely be able to complete your dream in a short time, Mr. Minister Ismede, I think President Taya will never forget you, the hero who made Mao's economy take off, and of course, our Hongqi Machinery will not forget our friend's ......" If it is changed to the past, Wu Fan will stuff a thin pile of paper money to the high-ranking official of Mao's country in front of him before the nose salute. But today he doesn't.
Ismet is very dissatisfied with the abnormal behavior of these Chinese, is these Chinese ready to let go like this?
That's not going to work!
You know, he is still ready to catch a little more on these Chinese.
This 20,000 US dollars is a lot for Mauritania, a poor country, so much that even a minister can be tempted. But Ismet knew. This money, put in Europe, will not be spent in a few days at all.
"I hope so." Ismed is not of a high nature.
Just because these Chinese want to sell equipment to them, and they are quite generous. Ismed summoned these Chinese so frequently, and there was no substantial progress in the talks between the two sides. And a lot of the time he just keeps his mouth shut.
It seems that these Chinese have learned well, and it is not easy to cheat money from them.
Ismead's interest could still be high. This is strange.
"Mr. Minister, I wonder if President Taya has approved the expansion of the mining scale of the Zuela iron mine?" Zhao Jinrui glanced at Cui Haoyuan, who suddenly asked at Ismed.
Ismed was stunned, he really didn't expect these subtle Chinese to become so direct.
Could it be that he has squeezed these Chinese too hard?
Or are these Chinese simply ready to give up? If that's the case, Taya will have to split himself. Mao has a very bad relationship with European countries now.
How did Ismet know that these Chinese had made themselves poor in order to stuff him with money? Otherwise, how could there be three people crammed into a room in a broken hotel? In Africa, you can get by with a little more than one or two dollars a day.
At least, there's nothing wrong with filling your stomach or something.
However, more than half of Mao's food is dependent on international aid, and most of the domestic daily necessities are imported from abroad, which makes foreigners in the capital of the country have to have more money if they want to live better.
Wu Fan and others basically have a fixed number of spending companies, because in these countries in Africa, it is absolutely easy to counterfeit bills or something. Otherwise, Yun Fei would not have stipulated that the money every day is fixed, fifty US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 400 yuan.
But here, it's not a lot of money.
These slave owners in the Mao country were not only cruel to the Black Moore slaves at home, but also to the non-Europeans from abroad.
"Mr. Wu Fan, I don't know how you think about our offer to exchange ore for equipment? Let's go first...... "This kind of economic development path is what Taya has seen since China's reform and opening up."
In the early days of China's reform and opening up, it was also very poor, and the people were so poor that they were about to starve to death.
Therefore, in the early days of China's introduction of various equipment, many of them used the products produced to repay the equipment payment, and this model is still very popular in China.
The relationship between the Taya government and China can only be said to be very average, after the Chinese side helped build Mao's friendship port, China has not helped them to build any more projects, especially they want to build some more railways to transport their domestic mining ore, and they have great hopes for the Chinese.
"In principle, our company headquarters has agreed to this agreement, but the details need to be discussed in detail. In addition, our company feels that such a big thing involves hundreds of millions of dollars of equipment, and we hope to be able to talk directly to President Taya, in addition, your country's ore exports account for almost half of the entire economy, and a slight problem will endanger national security, so our group company headquarters needs your National Security Bureau to join this, so as not to have differences between our two sides in the future......" Cui Haoyuan fluently translated Wu Fan's words to Ismed in front of him.
This matter made Cui Haoyuan extremely puzzled.
How did this matter come to the issue of national security? Although he was puzzled, he also knew that he couldn't ask this now.
Seeing Ismed stunned, Wu Fan smiled bitterly in his heart.
I hope that the other side really wants to develop their own national economy and get rid of their dependence on the European economy, otherwise, no matter how small and poor the country is, will not agree to such a request. Although Mauritania has a population of only a few million, and is one of the least economically developed countries in the world, the president is also the head of state, isn't it?
"Our group company is willing to help your country develop its economy, and can provide a series of equipment and technical ...... for mining, ore refining, and even steel smelting" Wu Fan didn't wait for the other party to react at all, and once again threw out a candy that any small African country would be tempted by.
Ismet was really stunned at this moment.
To develop their country's industry with their minerals is the dream of any poor African country.
But building an industrial system that can adapt to their country requires too much capital and technology for poor countries like them.
And at this time, Chinese actually offered to help them start to build an industry from the metal smelting aspect, how could he, the minister of mining industry, not be excited?
All along, he was only the Minister of Mines, because the only industry in their country was ore refining, equipment maintenance, etc., and they invited experts from abroad, which not only did they not afford the high price, but more importantly, they would not train local technicians.
Without technology, no matter how many factories are built, it is nonsense.
It won't do anything at all.
"Mr. Wu Fan, is this true?" Ismed got excited.
This matter, if this is the case, let alone meeting the president, even anyone they want to see in the entire Mao country, President Taya will not hesitate to agree.
"Of course. Mr. Ismed, I think you've heard of our China's Jiuyi Group, or at least your boss Yun Fei, right? These are the meanings of our boss......" Wu Fanyou's words were not too clear.
After all, a lot of words will be more effective when they are said to President Taya.
"Karen, go and choose a few beautiful beauties to entertain a few distinguished guests, invite a few distinguished guests to eat roast whole lamb at noon, and I will go to see President Taya now...... At this time, Ismet no longer remembers these things Chinese did not stuff him with baggage today. (To be continued......)
