Fan Wubing and his party did not stay in Cairo. After looking at the pyramids and Sphinx like a flash, they looked at the Egyptian Museum. They continued to fly south together, which was considered to have officially set foot on the African continent.

Fan Wubing’s goal is West Africa, for nothing else, because according to his understanding, there is a large iron ore here.

In fact, for Chinese people, it is very difficult to truly align with the international community and be able to participate in the international game of interest. Some domestic experts talk about buying China's foreign exchange reserves into strategic resource reserves, which is tantamount to talking about it on paper.

For example, if you want to invest in West Africa, although Fan Wubing has a lot of money in his hands, it also needs to be introduced by someone, otherwise it will be difficult to gain the trust of the locals.

This time he came here, he also used the family forces of the French and Germans who had worked with before to introduce his local tribe king. He had already communicated some things before, and both sides had a full understanding of each other, so he took this opportunity to set foot on the African continent.

The two families who cooperated with Fan Wubing had been colonizing Africa for many years. Although they are no longer in Africa, they still have no problem introducing Fan Wubing to the cooperation. At the same time, these two families also have certain control over the smelting industry in Europe. At the same time, they have extensive personal connections in Africa. They need Chinese markets and Chinese capital. Therefore, when Fan Wubing revealed that he was interested in investing in African mining, the other party enthusiastically expressed his friendship and arranged this trip to Africa for him.

Fan Wubing and others have no idea about West Africa. In their impression, they should be a relatively barren and backward indigenous place. If you generously throw down more than a dozen breads, hundreds of poor people will come to snatch them.

But when they arrived at their destination, the scene in front of them still surprised them. Fan Wubing's first feeling was, is this Africa?

Not only are the roads here spacious and tidy, the houses are unique and beautiful, and the environment is clean and beautiful. What surprised them the most was that the taxis here were all Mercedes-Benz 320, which looked like the most developed countries in the West. It was completely different from the sufferings and famines in their minds, and Africa, where famine and wars were rampant.

"Damn it! Is this Africa?!" Fan Wubing couldn't help but swear, obviously feeling very unbalanced.

Although the reporters from CCTV and Phoenix TV were also a little surprised, their adaptability was very strong. After all, they were a group of people who ran abroad every day and were already very calm.

"In fact, there are often introductions to the situation in Africa in Hong Kong TV shows, and the scene in front of you is also often seen. Africa is very large, and there are also great differences between countries. Some are like heaven, and some are like hell, so Mr. Fan, your feelings will be very contrasting." A reporter from Phoenix TV explained to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing turned his head and asked CCTV reporters, "I think CCTV has never let go of such a shot, right? When African people are promoted, they always look in dire straits."

CCTV reporter smiled and said to Fan Wubing, "This is normal. Mr. Fan, think about it. African countries that were willing to establish diplomatic relations with us were basically poor countries, so domestic propaganda for Africa was mainly based on them. After so many years, they have become accustomed to it. These countries have fought and killed for decades and have almost no improvement, so they still look poor and in a poor way. As for these rich countries, their relationship with us is optional. People are not very interested in us, so of course they won't report it much."

Fan Wubing nodded, thinking that this reason was reasonable, but when he thought about it, it seemed that the reporter had another problem that he had not pointed out, that is, the relationship between China and African countries was based on foreign aid, so when reporting, it was always associated with aid.

If everyone sees that the taxis in African countries are all Mercedes-Benz 320, will anyone still be willing to continue to provide assistance? So, the media's public opinion propaganda is guided. After this understanding, I suddenly realized it.

"Oh, you guys--" Fan Wubing looked at the reporters and smiled without saying a word.

Fan Wubing and his team came here this time very well. Because of the preparations in front, the reception standards of the other party were also very high. The brothers of the local tribe chief were greeted by the six-liang BMWs and the accompanying convoy, with a total of more than twenty vehicles.

It’s just that the airport is a bit far from the destination, and it took more than ten hours to drive along the way to the place.

The road conditions in Africa are really not very good, and the owners seem to have no consideration of car maintenance at all. They are actually driving a BMW on the sandy and gravel road at a speed of more than 120 miles. This makes Fan Wubing feel very ashamed. Thinking about it, he is also a super rich man, and he has seen all kinds of rich people in China, but he dares to drive a BMW sedan and run off-road for life. He seems to have never heard of it, which makes people feel a little sad. This person is just incomparable to others.

It should be said that African friends are very welcoming and hospitable. They arranged the best hotels for them. According to hotels, many super rich people in the world love to come here for vacation.

The hotel is actually a luxury villa in a golf course. Each villa has an independent swimming pool and is divided into individual private spaces with a fence. The area of ​​each villa looks more than one hectare, which is much more grand than the one-acre garden of domestic luxury villas.

Golf is free here, you only need to tip the caddie.

Of course, in Fan Wubing's eyes, this is nothing. The only thing that makes him admire is that the best place in the hotel should be said to be the original. Because there are hippos in the water at the low-lying water of the golf course, crocodiles walking, warthogs, hares, antelope, and countless beautiful birds and monkeys on the trees next to your house.

Of course, as a guest, the hotel will especially remind you that the hotel walls cannot be easily gone out. In addition to hippos and antelopes, there are also ferocious lions and leopards waiting for you. It is said that there are more than 2,000 leopards in this area alone, and it is hard to say whether there are 200 wild leopards in China now.

After the host arranged Fan Wubing and his party, he was not in a hurry to discuss business. Anyway, he told them a lot about what delicious food and fun were there, and then asked them to have a good rest. Tomorrow the chief will hold a banquet to entertain guests from China.

"What a hospitable African friend--" The reporters accompanying him couldn't help but sighed repeatedly after receiving the glory of Mr. Fan.

Soon, hotel waiters came to serve Chinese guests, with all kinds of Western oriental local delicacies, and even big lobsters shipped from Australia to eat. This is a different matter of the fact that Africans are full of cannibals or eating insects everywhere to satisfy their hunger.

The enthusiastic waiters also said that if guests want to, they can apply to hunt. All the land here is privately owned, and the wild animals on it belong to the land owner. As long as you pay the landlords for prey, you can hunt on the other party's land. According to their introduction, the cost of hunting a leopard is about 5,000 US dollars, and hunting is also one of the very profitable tourism projects here.

After staying in the hotel, Fan Wubing discovered that he thought that Africa's communication services were not advanced enough, and probably even had a bad phone number. But when he arrived here, he realized that he was an indigenous person, because the ones used here were actually 3G and satellites, and he could access the Internet and conduct global communications at any time.

Because there was no 3G in China at this time, Fan Wubing and his friends could not use their mobile phones and other communication devices at once. They suddenly realized that they had become isolated from the world here.

And there is another point that such hotels are also world-class, and the daily cost is more than ten times more than traveling to other parts of the world.

"As long as you are rich, it is heaven no matter where you are!" Fan Wubing told the hotel people to order 3G mobile phones for them, and said to everyone with emotion.

The so-called 3G concept was proposed in two thousand years. At this time, foreign 3G technology was only in its initial application stage. But to be honest, what restricts the development of 3G is not technology, nor investment, but monopoly.

If domestic telecom operators were not thinking about ways to make enough money in second-generation mobile communication technology, there would be no obstacles in China to use 3G technology. In fact, it is not a problem now, whether in network technology or terminal equipment, Fan Wubing estimated that all departments of his Fan Investment Group could basically solve all these problems.

The reason why the domestic unresolved is that the 3G technology has not been launched for a long time is mainly because telecom operators and terminal manufacturers believe that the potential of second-generation mobile communication technology has not been discovered and there are still a large number of market opportunities to be utilized. This is why this situation occurs.

After buying the phone, Lu Qingtong tried his notes and said with some emotion, "When will we use such technology in China?"

"At normal speed—" Fan Wubing tilted his head and estimated for a while, then replied, "It should take more than eight years to catch up with the current level of technology application for African friends!"

After hearing this, Lu Qingtong said nothing and returned the phone to Fan Wubing.

"What?" Fan Wubing asked curiously.

"I'm worried that I'll be uncomfortable when I return to China." The little beauty replied calmly.
