Fifteen kilometers is not very far, but this is a wilderness, and there is no road in the exploration place, so you need to rely on two legs, but fortunately there is a warrior off-road vehicle, which can swish past.

Even so, by the time the big guy rushed over, it was already dark.

A few tents were erected on the spot, and He Lao was used to it in the wild all year round, and commanded everyone to turn this place into a base camp for early development.

Fortunately, the climate here is not bad, neither hot nor cold, and it is very comfortable to live in a tent, as for the safety of the wild...... Yusuf had already sent a team of people to protect them, and two BTR armored vehicles were watching from the side, and if the beasts came, they were giving them food.

There was no electricity, so a bonfire was lit next to the tent, and the light of the fire shone on everyone's face and illuminated the smiles on their faces.

"Mr. He, on behalf of the Pacific Group, I would like to thank you for your contribution." Qin Feng was very excited: "It is under your work that our group can have such great results in such a short period of time!" ”

"Mr. Qin, if you are still commanding in the right direction, I have to wonder if you knew in advance that there was a mine here." He Lao said: "We have also created a miracle of searching for minerals in the wild. ”

"Qin, what are we going to do next?" Mulatu was also very excited.

"I had already arranged it before I went abroad, and now, our mechanized equipment is drifting across the ocean, and it should be there in a few days, and when the mechanized equipment arrives, it will be officially mined here." Qin Feng said: "What you have to do is to help us coordinate the transportation, we will transport the ore to the railway, and then transport it to the port by rail, by the way, we still lack workers, lack drivers, we will hire a group of people from the local area." ”

"Okay, I'll help arrange all of this. We want to build our own country, we want to develop industry, and now, this mine is the beginning of the start of our country's industrial construction! When the equipment arrives, I'll call my father and the others for a grand ceremony! ”

The big guy was talking excitedly, and the lights of the vehicle appeared in the distance, and a BTR armored car drove over.

Who's coming? Did you know about the progress of exploration here, and came to congratulate you?

The car door opened, and Qin Feng saw Maria coming down with a few people, all of whom were black women.

They took down some cooking things from the car, folding tables, benches, and put boards on top of them, as well as a piece of living noodles.

"Maria, what are you doing here?" Zhao Jiao walked over, wanting to help, but also curious.

"Today, it is the Chinese New Year's Eve in the East, in your East, this time is to make dumplings, I took a few people to prepare it, and I don't know if it is appropriate."

Today is February 17th, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve!

The big guys all came here a year ago, with the same ideal, came to work here, and forgot about the New Year.

Unexpectedly, Maria remembers, moreover, she has to make dumplings for the big guy!

"Let's do it together!" He Lao said: "Making dumplings, let's just have a good time!" ”

Soon, people were gathered in front of the folding table, and the big guy washed his hands, rolled the skin, and made dumplings.

He Lao took the skin with his left hand, scooped the filling with a spoon with his right hand, and then, pinched it with both hands, and a dumpling was fine.

"We are engaged in geology, we are in the field all year round, and we will spend it in the wild during the New Year's holidays, and the big guys will make dumplings, but we will use local materials and use whatever we have. When we were exploring in the field, we picked a few handfuls of wild vegetables and brought them back. What gray cabbage, shepherd's cabbage and the like, it's good to make stuffing. By the way, what's your stuffing? ”

There is no refrigerator in the wild, many times the food is canned, and the vegetables are pumpkin and potatoes that are easy to store and carry, and it is not easy to find vegetable leaves to make stuffing. He Lao and the others have long been accustomed to distinguishing all kinds of wild vegetables, but now, he feels that he has never seen the green vegetables in this meat filling.

"Ice cabbage." Maria said: "Our most distinctive vegetables in Africa, in fact, we are also growing celery and green onions, etc., but it is not yet ripe, only this ice cabbage is ripe, so we make dumpling stuffing with this vegetable." ”

Qin Feng became curious: "You are also growing vegetables?" ”

"Yes, Qin, this is all your proposal, at the beginning you suggested that we use instant noodles in exchange to encourage people to plant wheat, everyone's enthusiasm for planting is very high, otherwise we don't have flour on hand to make dumplings, at the same time, we found that if there is only flour, it is still not enough to eat, and we also need vegetables, so we encourage everyone to grow vegetables, now, our country wants to develop, agriculture cannot be put down, we have to plant a large area."

Qin Feng looked at Mulatu with a puzzled gaze again.

Mulatu smiled: "Qin, my wife has played a great role in agricultural production, and my father also appreciates my wife, so now, our Eritrean agricultural side is handed over to my wife to preside." ”

"That's right, women can also come out to work, and if you want the country to develop, you have to encourage women to work too, and women can hold up half the sky." Qin Feng nodded: "Mulatu, you have a good wife!" ”

With the development of agriculture here, the instant noodle factory under the Pacific Group will have a steady supply of raw materials, and even if the dual-track system is canceled in China in the future, all of which are engaged in market economy, this African flour still has a cost advantage.

"Well, I also think I have a good wife, of course, Qin, you also have a good wife."

It's not a commercial compliment, it's from the heart.

Soon, hundreds of dumplings were wrapped, the cauldron next to it had already boiled water, and the dumplings were put into the pot, and soon floated up, rolled three times, and the dumplings were cooked.

The big guy picked up his own guys: aluminum alloy lunch boxes, enamel rice bowls, etc., and began to serve dumplings, Ma Shiyong took out a few heads of garlic from the suitcase, and Qin Feng asked people to move a box of wine from the trunk.

"This year's Spring Festival, we spent it in Africa, although we were not at home, but this Spring Festival is more meaningful! We have come to Africa with great international friendship to help the development here, and we brothers in the East and Asia, Africa and Latin America, that is, family, come, let's toast! ”

The big guys each held up a bottle of wine, looked to the east, and then took two sips.

"That's right, we're all family! The East is like our relatives, we are glad to have such relatives, come, on behalf of the Eritrean people, respect our relatives! ”

"Dumplings are wine, the more you drink, the more you have, we wish Eritrea a better tomorrow!"

The big guys are staggered, and before they know it, they all drink too much.

The time in Eritrea is five hours behind in the east, and when the big guys raise their glasses in celebration, it is already early in the morning in the east, and the sky is just dawning.

The cold winter wax moon, this time is the coldest, usually, the big guys are in the bed, but on this day, no one sleeps lazy, and the big guys get up early.

If you want to sleep lazily, the sound of crackling firecrackers outside is endless, and the two kicks that keep flying into the sky will make people who come to the East for the first time think that there is some kind of war.

Pingwang Motorcycle Factory, the factory director's office, Gerrish got up early in the morning, because he knew that the workers were earlier than him!

New Year's greetings are still to be worshipped, but the work can not be delayed, so the workers have already gotten up, visited the New Year, finished before eight o'clock, and just went to work.

As for those who work the night shift, they get off work and go to visit relatives and friends after eight o'clock.

Last night there was a party in the factory, and Gerrish also participated in it, and it was very late, so he didn't go back to his residence, and set up a folding bed in the factory director's room.

Sure enough, as soon as Gerrish got up, there was a knock on the door.

"Director Ge, there are some people outside, saying that they want to give you an early year." The voice of an interpreter rang out outside.

"Okay, please come over."

Gerrish poured half a pot of hot water into the washbasin and hurriedly washed his face, and the whole person became energetic again, and footsteps were heard outside.

"Director Ge, Happy New Year, the first month near the water, on behalf of our Oriental Automobile Industry Federation, I will give you a New Year's greeting!" The other party stated his identity.

"President Fu, have a good New Year." Gerrish also greeted with a smile: "On behalf of our Pingwang Motorcycle Factory, I should give our Oriental Automobile Industry Federation New Year's greetings. ”

"Yes, yes, after all, this Chinese New Year, other factories have been shut down, only your factory is still producing day and night." President Fu said: "You are still working, of course we have to come to the door, by the way, I heard that Tianxia Motorcycle flew over a river on the African side, and it caused a global sensation!" This is also the pride of our Oriental automobile industry! ”

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and President Fu saw that the time was almost up, and finally cut to the chase.

"Director Ge, you are really amazing, no matter which factory you go to, you will make which factory become the best in the industry. Now, our Capital Motorcycle Factory is also in urgent need of expert guidance like you, and everyone is looking forward to your work at BAIC Motorcycle. BAIC Motor is our capital, our famous factory in the East, you get there, you will definitely be able to better play your strength. ”

Gerrish shook his head: "No." ”

"Director Ge, don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to my introduction first......"

"President Fu, Mr. Qin has already paid me a one-time salary for five years." "So, for five years, I can only work at the Pingwang motorcycle factory," Gerrish said. ”

The annual salary is 100,000 yuan, and the one-time payment for five years is 500,000 yuan! This Qin is really rich! President Fu secretly sighed in his heart that he, the president, couldn't mobilize so much money, but the problem of money should not be a problem.

Now, many people can see that the heart and soul of Tianxia Motorcycle is the director of Gerrish, as long as he ......

"Director Ge, as long as you go over, BAIC Motor can give you the same treatment, no, give you twice as much!"

"President Fu, this is a matter of personal credibility." Gerrish's face became serious: "To be a man is to talk about credibility, to open a company, to run a business, but also to pay attention to credibility, you have to do what you promise others, money is not everything!" ”

"I'm sorry, Director Ge, it's me who is abrupt, your character is so noble, it's admirable." President Fu said a few more words of praise before taking his leave.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Gerrish shook his head, in the future, he will still have less contact with this kind of person, never down-to-earth, and will play tricks. I am very happy to work here, compared with the last time in Wuchai, there is a lot less resistance, and sure enough, private enterprises have more development potential.

Tianxia motorcycles have been in short supply, and the production in the factory is very tight, so I still go to the production.

Outside, the sound of crackling firecrackers continued to ring, and the whole capital was jubilant.

Wang Gang's house is also very lively, people keep coming to pay New Year's greetings, and there are constant phone calls, he sent away waves of people, and when it was noon, he found that there was no one in the family.

"Where's Xiaofang?"

"I went to the Chocolate Building, and said that it was to coordinate the import of steelmaking equipment from the island country." Wang Fang's mother, Li Hongmei, spoke.

Wang Gang nodded with satisfaction: "In the past, the import of steelmaking equipment, that was a national key project, many people participated, now, they are a private enterprise to introduce equipment, it is really not easy, however, this is also a kind of training, Xiaofang originally chose Pingwang factory, I am still a little unhappy, now it seems that the choice is not wrong, under the leadership of Qin Feng, the Pacific Group is getting stronger and stronger, Qin Feng has recently done great things in Africa. ”

"What's the big deal? Was it the thing about that motorcycle flying over the river? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just an advertisement, Lao He led a team to investigate, and has found rich iron ore, and the proven reserves are about 10 million tons, and there may be more in the later stage. Qin Feng, this kid, said that there are mines in Africa, but there are really mines! They want to build a steel plant, and the big guys were not optimistic about it, but now, the leader of the Capital Iron and Steel Company has just called me, hoping that the iron ore mined in Africa can also share with them. Qin Feng wants to build a steel mill in Jincheng, and they will give their full support, and they will also fully supply the steel needed by Pingwang Motorcycle Factory. ”

Wang Gang was very emotional, but Li Hongmei was not interested in these things, and her face was a little lonely: "Actually, I would like to hear the news that our Xiaofang can bring back a man and eat at our house on the second day of the Lunar New Year." ”

As soon as the voice ended, the phone rang again.

"Hey, Xiaofang, what did you say? Are you going to bring your classmates to dinner at home tomorrow? Okay, men and women? Male? Okay, okay, mom has it ready for you. ”

Li Hongmei quickly smiled.

In the north, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is the Son-in-law's Day! On this day, the daughter brought the man back for dinner, which made sense.

"Lao Wang, do you know who it is?" Li Hongmei asked excitedly.

"Well, it should be Xiao Zhou, who is engaged in the die forging press and meets the double machine, is also a college student, and he is still very powerful, and they have been together during this time."

"Really? That's great! Our daughter's marriage must be more lively than Qin Feng and Zhao Jiao! ”

Wang Gang's family was very happy, but on the other hand, someone was a little dissatisfied.

Yang Lao looked at the people coming in and out, like a marquee, although he had a smile on his face, he still complained a little when he thought of someone in his heart.

"Really, I said that I would come here to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, who would have thought that I would not come, and I would not believe it!"

"Old Yang, Mr. Qin, he really can't come, he is abroad now, and the warrior off-road vehicle has also been shown to you in advance. Moreover, they have to take a transport plane over, and you will coordinate it. ”

"Hmph, he has had enough fun abroad, his motorcycle flies in the river, and the whole world knows that they are motorcycle in Tianxia, and he has long forgotten about me, an old man!"

Yang Lao still complained a little.

At that moment, the phone on the desk rang suddenly.

"Xiao Zhao, answer the phone. If it's an ordinary person, you say I'm not here. ”

"Yes."

Xiao Zhao picked up the phone and heard the voice of the operator inside: "There is a call from abroad, I want to call Yang Lao, do you want to answer it?" ”

"Where's it abroad?"

"Africa."

"Okay, take it."

Although the telephone system has entered the era of program-controlled telephones, this kind of telephone that crosses the ocean, if you want to call the compound here, you have to manually use the operator.

Soon, a distant voice sounded: "Is Elder Yang here?" I'm Qin Feng, and I want to give New Year's greetings to Elder Yang. ”

Yang Lao picked up the phone with satisfaction: "You kid, are you having fun in Africa?" ”

"Elder Yang, I came to Africa to work, we have found mineral resources, and next, we need your help......"

"Okay, I thought you kid remembered the promise you made to me, and you actually wanted to ask me for help!"

"Elder Yang, of course I miss you, I can't drive a warrior car and go to the door to greet you for the New Year, I'm very guilty! Equipment or something, just piggyback, if you're busy today, forget it. ”

"What's it, going abroad to look for minerals is also to develop our country's economy, economic development, the army can have enough military spending, say, what do you want to help?"

"Near the iron ore mine, we found another polymetallic ore belt, which is dominated by copper ore. However, we Pacific Group can't eat it, so can you contact the relevant domestic units to come over? Come here and participate in the development. ”

Copper!

Hearing this news, Elder Yang's eyes immediately lit up, this was Qin Feng's best Spring Festival gift for him!

The East is rich in land and resources, and there are also various mineral resources, some of which are many, such as rare earths and tungsten, but there are also deficiencies.

There are a large number of iron ore in the East, but most of them are poor iron ores with low iron content, high energy consumption for smelting, and little iron production, which can be used, but the lack of copper ore in the East is a big problem.

Dongfang's bullets are mainly engaged in steel shell bullets, not only because of saving money, but also because of the lack of copper, which cannot withstand the consumption of war, so even if the jamming rate is high, even if the soldiers have to be dragged back on the battlefield, Dongfang has to grit his teeth and use steel shell bullets!

Qin Feng and the sunspots' cooperation projects are only gold mines and iron mines, but now they have newly discovered copper mines, which can't be cheaper than others, and they have to find oriental companies to develop them! Africa is full of treasures...... No, we are here to help Africa develop its economy with a noble friendship!

"Okay, I'll get in touch right away!"
