Chapter 21: Ten Minutes Staff
Not long after, Kikwete met this Chinese man who claimed to be his friend in the dormitory.
"Good morning, Mr. Kikwete!"
"I hope you don't mind."
After the staff left, Kikwete saw the tall, bright-eyed Chinese young man, smiled and stretched out his right hand to himself, while speaking standard English.
Kikwete has been in China for more than half a year and has a preliminary understanding of the country.
So he knows very well that in Huaxia, a young man who can "call himself a friend", specially come to visit him, and speak such standard English, he is definitely not an ordinary person!
"Hello."
Kikwete said with a slight bow, with a look of curiosity in his eyes, but instead of holding Wang Ye's outstretched hand, he asked:
"I don't seem to know you, young man, though."
"So you're pretending to be my friend to find me what's the matter?"
"If so, please speak up."
I saw Kikwete turn around and sit on the chair next to him, cocking Erlang's legs to look at Wang Ye, and Wang Ye did not feel the slightest embarrassment because he was refused to shake hands under his sharp gaze, and calmly withdrew his outstretched right hand and said with a smile:
"First of all, allow me to introduce myself."
"My name is Wang Ye, and I am the director of the Hongxing Machinery Factory in Luqi Province, China."
"Secondly, I apologize for pretending to be your friend, it's really not easy to see you, please forgive me for my lie."
"In the end, although we are meeting for the first time, I am sure that soon we will indeed become friends, and I will definitely become one of your most loyal and reliable friends."
"Because I've come to visit you this time to do business with you!"
Looking at the Chinese youth in front of him, who was neither humble nor arrogant, Kikwete had a flash of surprise in his heart, he knew something about the reform and opening up of China, and instantly he guessed the cause and effect of Wang Ye's visit to him.
At such a young age, he served as the director of a machine factory, and in order to find a market for the factory's products, he was witty and clever enough to learn about what he had learned here through some channels, and then used a little trick to see himself and sell his products to himself.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Kikwete's face.
For such a smart, motivated, brave to try and challenge, responsible and responsible young people, Kikwete is very appreciative, because he was once a young self, and decided to give him a chance to sell to himself, and even as long as the products he introduced are barely possible, he is willing to purchase a little bit to make his plan successful.
"Oh? What is the business? ”
"I'm going to the restaurant at half-past seven, and you have ten minutes to pitch to me."
"Let's get started!"
Kikwete looked at Wang Ye with a smile and said, while Wang Ye took out a document from his handbag, stepped forward and handed it to Kikwete and said:
"Mr. Kikwete, look, this is the product of our machine shop."
"I think it should be what your country needs."
"A new type of gas canister!"
Hearing Wang Ye say this, Kikwete frowned slightly, and at the same time he took the drawing and looked down.
The design drawing of this gas tank is not the sketch that Wang Ye originally drawn, but a very standard and strict mechanical drawing that was later modified, and the overall look is very professional.
In the next second, Kikwete's face changed slightly, he raised his head and waved the drawing, looked at Wang Ye with a solemn gaze and said:
"Young man, as far as I know, Huaxia did not call the bomb a gas canister."
"So the business you want to do with me is arms?"
"Is it this half-finished bomb?"
At present, the business transactions with Tanzania can actually be divided into two categories.
The first type is construction projects, such as the Zantan-Tanzania railway project from Tanzania to Zambia, and with these aid projects, we can obtain some benefits in other fields, such as mining rights and so on.
The second type is the arms deal, because China's weapons are cheap and reliable, and Tanzania has provided a lot of weapons in the past, so in order to match and systematize weapons, Tanzania still purchases a lot of weapons from here every year.
It was for this reason that Kikwete said without thinking, and although he was a little surprised that the young man was going to do an arms business with him, it was not too surprising.
Unexpectedly, under Kikwete's gaze, Wang Ye shook his head righteously and said:
"No, you're mistaken, this is a gas canister, not a bomb."
"The business I'm going to do with you is a gas canister!"
Looking at the appearance of the young man in front of him who was talking nonsense seriously, Kikwete, who had been in politics for many years, frowned slightly, and naturally thought of the reason why Wang Ye said this, after all, in any country, not any factory can produce, sell and buy arms!
Thinking of this, he appreciated Wang Ye's "intelligence" more and more, but he still shook his head and said:
"Your gas canister is good, but we don't need it."
"To tell you the truth, if we need weapons, we can buy them from the United States, from the Soviet Union, and even from China."
"And this gas tank of yours is only a semi-finished product, and it needs to be processed before it can be put into use."
"It doesn't appeal to us in any way."
In the end, Kikwete looked at Wang Ye with an interested smile and said:
"Still, I appreciate you very much."
"If you want, I can invite you to be my staff."
"It is true that Tanzania may not be as good as Huaxia, but you should understand that as my staff, your starting point is much higher than the current director of a machinery factory, and the future is limitless."
"Isn't it?"
As soon as Kikwete's words fell, Wang Ye couldn't help laughing, to be honest, he didn't expect that Kikwete would actually recruit him, and at the same time shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kikwete, but I don't want to leave my country."
"But thank you for your appreciation, so I'm willing to serve as your staff for a short time now, to give you an idea, and to convince you to make a deal with me about the gas canister!"
As soon as these words came out, Kikwete's interest was instantly aroused, and he looked at Wang Ye curiously and said:
"Yes, please!"
Under Kikwete's gaze, Wang Ye talked eloquently:
"Mr. Kikwete, I guess you didn't come to Huaxia to study so 'voluntarily', right?"
Wang Ye bites the word voluntarily very hard, after all, Kikwete, who is already a high-level person, if he comes to Huaxia for further study, his position will inevitably be temporarily relieved, and if he goes back after a year of training, can the original position still be vacant?
So it is obvious that the reason why Kikwete came to China must have something to do with the tilting and struggle of their high-level, and he is an unlucky guy.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Ye's words came out, the expression on Kikwete's face froze, and then Wang Ye continued:
"But when you get back, I think you'll want to make a big difference."
"In that case, you need a meritorious service that you can do to get you back to the center of politics again."
"And if you get this deal with me, then Tanzania will have the 'first' weapon that is completely 'self-produced', and it can even be named the 'Kikwete' bomb."
"I think this is a good achievement for Tanzania, which does not have any arms production capacity at the moment."
"Whether it's for the rulers above, or for countless ordinary people."
With Wang Ye's voice, the expression on Kikwete's face gradually became stunned, and then the look in his eyes became more and more enthusiastic!
