Jonathan's mention of yì is a very normal space cooperation, and similar cooperation is not uncommon all over the world.

Many countries do not have the ability to launch satellites, and in addition to purchasing satellites from abroad that have already been launched, these countries can only rely on the launch vehicles of other countries if they want to send their satellites into space.

In fact, this is not the first time that Nigeria has asked someone to help them launch a satellite, and twice earlier, they asked India to help them launch. It is not surprising that I found Somalia this time.

For this kind of door-to-door business, Li Lan naturally would not push it out, and directly agreed.

With this beginning, the distance between the two sides seems to have narrowed a little closer, and there is less rustiness at the beginning.

Jonathan also took the opportunity to be accepted by Li Lan for the first time, and continued: "In addition to security factors, environment, and economy, industry is also a very important point that plagues African countries, and no country in Africa currently has a complete industrial system except for South Africa and Somalia, and the same is true for China.

Although Nigeria has introduced a lot of foreign companies in the past decade, there is still a big gap in the industry, especially in the automotive industry, because of the consumption environment, almost all the world's automobile companies have excluded Africa.

Although the private car is a very unfamiliar term to many people in Africa for now, there will always be a beginning. At present, the whole of Africa has a sound automotive industry and a complete production chain in Somalia. So ......"

Li Lan interjected directly: "So you plan to let us go to Nigeria to build a factory?" ”

"Yes, I promise Nigeria that Nigeria will give Somalia the most favorable policy and the best environment." Jonathan didn't annoy Li Lan's interjection. But he said it very sincerely.

In the face of Jonathan's confession, Li Lan did not agree. There was no outright refusal either. Because it's a lucrative deal in the long run. It is possible to open the domestic market of Nigeria.

But on the other hand, going to Nigeria to build a factory requires a huge amount of capital, and a large amount of foreign exchange will flow into Nigeria, and it is difficult to fill this gap with profits in the short term.

At the same time, he also understands Jonathan's idea, the introduction of industry and capital for the development of an African country, has a very important significance, although the investor is also rushing to make money, but for the invested country, the first is foreign exchange income. The second is taxation, which increases employment and allows you to learn about foreign industry.

That's how China came to be, and it also took advantage of this to improve the shortcomings of the industry and began to catch up.

Because of the relationship between the base, Li Lan originally had a complete set of industries, so he didn't need any support from external industries at all. This also leads to the fact that there are not many foreign-funded enterprises in the whole of Somalia.

and the inflow of external funds. Over the years, it has also been supported by China. At the same time, a considerable part of the oil fields in Somalia are also directly open to China, allowing Chinese oil companies to take a stake in the Somali oil field. They are allowed to extract crude oil from Somali oilfields.

Other countries, as for their part, want to penetrate the Somali markets with the help of industry and cooperation. is a hard thing to do from the simplest bikes. From heavy-duty container trucks with loads of more than 100 tons, Somalia can produce them. The same is true for household goods, from small nail clippers to large household appliances, there is no need to rely on foreign countries.

Moreover, now Somalia has established broadband throughout the country, and many large cities have begun to spread the network, all computers use assistant systems, and every host and server is in the hands of assistants.

As for investing in heavy industry abroad, this is indeed part of the future development, and the main reason why Li Lan has not started to take action at present is that the construction unit cannot be built abroad, so it has been repeatedly delayed.

Long before that, Eritrea also said that it welcomed Somalia to Eritrea to build heavy industry, but Li Lan really couldn't do it, and finally chose to invest in Eritrea to build a container port.

However, at that time, his authority was still advanced, and if he wanted to go abroad, the number of sub-base vehicles was completely insufficient. Now that his authority has reached its ultimate, he can own ten more sub-base vehicles.

After hearing Jonathan's words, Li Lan's mind also began to liven, however, it is not unconditional for the sub-base to be built outside, and the explanation clearly points out that it needs to be land that belongs to Li Lan. Otherwise, Li Lan has now begun to produce sub-base cars and make arrangements.

Jonathan was also very anxious, seeing that Li Lan did not respond for a long time, but with a contemplative expression, thinking that his conditions had not been explained, he spoke again: "If Somali automobiles and heavy industries can invest in Nigeria to build factories, then I can make the decision to exempt one tax in five years after the start of production, and in the next five years, the tax will be halved." At the same time, tariffs will be halved for a further three years, subject to the inclusion of Somalia as the most favourable country for trade. The government has also given the green light to Somali businesses along the way. ”

The lack of heavy industry in Nigeria has obviously made Jonathan very anxious, and these conditions are very lucrative, which is already a great price. When he visited developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, he said similar things, but the enterprises in these countries are not optimistic about the investment prospects of Nigeria, especially the heavy industry, and there are not many people in Nigeria who can consume the products of heavy industry.

Although the labor cost is very low, but all the way to the factory, to Africa, to bear the freight to and fro, coupled with safety issues, enterprises in various countries have shaken their heads and refused.

In particular, the security environment is what makes companies choose to regress, because Nigeria is one of the most unsafe countries in the world, and even Somalia did not rank much higher than Nigeria in terms of risk.

Crises in the Niger Delta region, political murders, street gang clashes, violent crimes such as armed robbery, smuggling, and election violence are all commonplace in Nigeria. And a large part of the laziness of black Africans is talking about Nigeria, where there are countless petty thefts, and even oil pipelines are stolen from time to time.

This is the main reason why Nigeria, with a population of 140 million, has 1.2 million armed police.

At the same time, there are also a number of similar terrorist groups in Nigeria, which often engage in exchanges of fire with the Nigerian military. This is also the reason why Nigeria continues to maintain a high-risk social pattern.

If you ask who would dare to invest in Nigeria in such an environment, even if Jonathan broke his mouth, those companies that pay attention to interests will not be moved.

Otherwise, Jonathan would not have set his sights on Somalia at all, a country that does not have much heavy industry and no sound industry, relying on some light industry to locate the domestic economy, which has made Nigeria's economic development reach a kind of bottleneck. Moreover, the rate of population growth has kept the unemployment rate in the country high, and the light industry is almost saturated, and the only thing that can be counted on is heavy industry.

Li Lan naturally knows the situation in Nigeria, but none of this is a problem for him.

"Investment requires a safe environment, and even if Somalia wants to choose the country to invest in, Eritrea has more generous conditions than Nigeria, and it is also safer. We are currently screening African countries for investment, but unfortunately, Nigeria's security concerns are the first target to be abandoned. However, I can give Nigeria some money to help you build schools and infrastructure. As for investment ......" Li Lan stretched out her voice very long, under normal circumstances, the meaning was already very obvious. However, Li Lan is not refusing, but drawing a long line to catch a big fish.

Nigeria is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and has a very good geographical location, and Li Lan also very much hopes to build a sub-base in Nigeria, but under normal means, Nigeria will definitely not allow foreign troops to be stationed unless a war is launched.

Jonathan's suggestion gave Li Lan a new idea, he could go to Nigeria to build a factory, or he could establish a large number of heavy industries, once needed, this sub-base could play an incomparably huge effect.

"In terms of security, rest assured, as I just said, I will definitely give Somalia a safe investment environment, and I can vouch for this with my personality." Jonathan immediately reassured.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's the environment of the whole country of Nigeria, and I can't make a decision lightly." Seeing that the fish began to bite the hook, Li Lan didn't have any real words and said death directly.

"Then how can you rest assured?" Jonathan said with a slight urgency.

"In fact, our Somali pillar company, Future Technology Group, has repeatedly proposed to invest abroad to build heavy industries such as electric vehicles, smelting, and shipbuilding, but has not found a suitable investment country. If Nigeria's security concerns can reassure us, then the investment can be discussed, after all, once the investment is negotiated, it will be tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars in the next few years. Li Lan directly depicted the cake.

Sure enough, Jonathan took the bait directly, and after he heard the words electric cars, smelting, and shipbuilding, his heart was hooked, and after hearing that it could reach hundreds of billions of dollars, he couldn't calm down.

"As long as the Somali side can put this investment plan in Nigeria, then as long as it is not too excessive, the conditions can be as you like." Jonathan couldn't manage that much now, and he only had one idea in his mind, to win this plan over. (To be continued......)
