Chapter 349: Return to Mauria

The stock price of Xingchen Electronics is rising, but Jiao Bai, who has skyrocketed in value, has no time to pay attention to these, as Hua Xinyuan said at the press conference, Jiao Bai is now in Mauria, Africa, attending the welcome party held for him by Prince Al Farouk.

Last winter, Jiao Bai came to Mauria once in order to transfer the complete set of automobile production lines brought back from the last days, and met Prince Alfaruk, who was studying in China, on the plane, and promised him to come to Mauria to invest, and now he has come to fulfill his promise.

Alfarook held a goblet, touched the white wine glass, took a sip of the red wine in the glass, and said in proficient Chinese, "Mr. Jiao, why do you sit here alone and eat without going to the dance floor to dance?"

Jiao Bai shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in dancing or anything, in comparison, I prefer to be alone and think about something." ”

Seeing that the burnt white plate was full of all kinds of food, Al Farouk also called the waiter and asked for some steak and sashimi, and while eating, he asked curiously, "Then what are you thinking about now?"

Jiao Bai took a sip of red wine, washed away the food residues in his mouth, and said, "I'm wondering, I've been waiting for two days when the deserts I bought will be available, why is there no news at all." ”

Prince El shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "The land you chose is deep in the desert, except for the larger area, it is useless, you can't grow crops, there are no mineral deposits, and you don't even have water, I really don't know why you spend so much money to buy land in the desert." But for those officials, it is wonderful that such useless land can be exchanged for valuable foreign currency, and they will not put up any obstacles. Now it's just a process, you know, such a large area of land transactions requires the approval of many departments, but the circulation of official documents only takes three or four days, you have to wait patiently. ”

Jiao Bai: "Okay, okay, I'll wait two more days." The construction team I hired in Huaxia will arrive tomorrow, can you help me find them a place to live?"

Prince El raised his head, looked at Jiao Bai with a surprised expression, and asked, "You really want to build a space base in the desert, and the investment of 10 billion dollars is also true, this is crazy, can you recoup the cost by investing so much money, but you can't get a few dollars for helping others launch satellites?"

Jiao Bai didn't expect Prince El to stand in his position and consider so many things, this is really treating him as a friend. Jiao Bai patted Prince El on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Eyre, don't forget that I am the richest man in China, and I will never do a loss-making business." And the aerospace industry is not a loss-making business, there are more resources in space than you can imagine, and now I invest 10 billion, and in a year or two, I can earn back a hundredfold and a thousand times. You better help me find a few cheaper hotels, there are a lot of construction workers coming tomorrow, there are thousands of people, and one or two hotels really can't fit in. ”

Alfaruk: "Mombasa is just a small port, and there are really not many big hotels, if you want to solve the accommodation problem of 1,000 people, you have to occupy dozens of small hotels, which is too scattered. In this case, I will contact the army system for you and arrange for these people to live in the barracks, and even the problem of food and drink can be solved. ”

Jiao Bai thought for a while, and said with a smile, "Do you live in the barracks, it's okay, it's troublesome, so you don't have to worry about it, during the construction of my space base, the food, drinking water, and some building materials consumed are purchased from you, and you can help me contact some locals to help us get started." ”

Prince El also laughed, knowing that this was Jiao Bai in return, channeling benefits to him through material procurement and personnel hiring. So he happily agreed, and said, "No problem, we don't have anything else in Mauria, that is, there is no shortage of people, and some food, drink, cement, etc. can also be supplied in sufficient quantities." ”

The next day, a super ro-ro ship with a displacement of 360,000 tons, the "Emerald", crossed the ocean and arrived at the port of Mombasa. Jiao Bai and Al Faruk stood on the dock, watching this behemoth slowly moored on the dock under the tow of four tugboats, and the huge hull directly occupied two and a half berths.

Al Faruk pointed to the ro-ro ship that was mooring, and asked with a shocked face, "This is the ro-ro ship you are talking about, why is it so big, if you hadn't told me in advance, I would have thought that an aircraft carrier was coming." ”

Jiao Bai said with some pride: "This is our largest ro-ro ship in China, with a displacement of 360,000 tons, and this trip not only brought more than 1,000 construction workers, but also transported a large number of construction vehicles and building materials." Why don't you go up and have a look, it's not common for such a big ship, it's a shame to miss it"

Al Farouk rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Can you go up and visit, that's great, such a big ship, comparable to a light aircraft carrier, we really haven't been to such a big guy in Mombasa port." Go, I can't wait."

By the time the two were talking, the Emerald had finished mooring, lowered the boarding ladder, and connected to the dock. However, the 1,000 construction workers did not rush out, only the captain and a few crew members and workers' representatives walked down the boarding ladder to negotiate with the port side about the transfer of personnel and goods.

Jiao Bai and Al Farouk stepped forward, and before they could say anything, the middle-aged man in the captain's uniform found Jiao Bai and greeted him as soon as possible, stretched out his hand to Jiao Bai, and said, "You are Mr. Jiao, fortunately, my name is Bao Xingfa, and I am the captain of the Jade." I have long heard that the employer of this shipment of goods and personnel to Africa is Xingchen Group, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Jiao as soon as I arrived in Mombasa, which is really my honor."

Jiao Bai stretched out his hand and shook Bao Xingfa's hand, and said with a smile, "Captain Bao, it's been hard all the way." Let me introduce you to a friend, this is Mr. Al Farouk, Prince of Mauria, who is very interested in your Emerald Ro-Ro ship, if it is convenient, can you arrange a crew member to take us on board for a tour."

Bao Xingfa was stunned, he didn't expect that the unattractive black young man who followed Jiao Bai, the richest man in China, turned out to be the prince of Mauria. This is really like things gathering, people are grouped, and those who can make friends with the richest man must not be ordinary people. Although Mauria is notoriously poor in the world, it has a large population and a large area, ranking among the top three in Africa, and its strength should not be underestimated. Mauria, on the other hand, is a group state, and the royal family holds real power. As a member of the Maurian royal family and a prince with the right to inherit, Al Farouk's influence in Mauria is terrifying. ,,,
