Chapter 1182 I will go bankrupt
Although Fan Wubing's move looks a bit ruthless, in fact, the other party's life in Africa is really hard.
African countries have been very vigilant about colonialism since the national independence movement, especially the economic new colonialism, and have never let go. This is certainly good, but there is a saying in China that is too much or too little. In fact, it means that the left or right are not as good as the centrist.
The doctrine of the mean mentioned by Confucius is a fair argument, and the Chinese people's laws of dealing with people and the world that have been passed down for two thousand years.
Therefore, under the economic policies of African countries, local resource industries are basically state-owned. Although many mines and land are in the hands of whites, the black regime is very vigilant about them and generally has to use various means to limit their development to avoid the phenomenon of whites over blacks again.
Under such circumstances, China, which has spared no effort to support African countries in economic and construction for decades, has a great say here. Unfortunately, the government has been controlling domestic enterprises to seek development overseas. On the one hand, it is naturally worried about causing trouble. On the other hand, it is not without the intention to avoid the outflow of state-owned assets.
However, now it seems that this kind of industrial policy is actually very harmful. African countries' own economic foundation is obviously extremely backward. They also exclude white people. Chinese people with better relationships are relatively conservative in economic policies and unable to look around, which has caused the development of African countries to remain in a semi-stagnant state.
Another point is that Western countries also realize that once the economy of African countries develops, it will have some negative impacts on them. For example, the development of countries cannot be separated from energy, so a large amount of resources are needed to support the transformation of developing countries into developed countries.
Although Africa is unique and has natural resources that everyone envies, once they develop in large quantities, it is easy to consume them all, which is not a good thing for Western countries where resources are already scarce.
Based on various considerations, for African countries, everyone hopes that they will continue to maintain the status quo, that is, to maintain the current backward, ignorant, and primitive lifestyle, without expecting signs of rapid industrialization among them.
But Fan Wubing himself carefully analyzed and considered that if he really invested in African mining, as long as he could defeat these black people, the problem would not be big.
The reason for this is also very clear. Although European countries have traditional colonial forces in Africa, they are hit by the national independence movement of African countries at this time. They are already much weaker. Although the local whites still have close ties with the family forces of European countries, they are beyond reach. Unless a war is openly started, it will be difficult to have a direct impact on Fan Wubing's investment group's investment in Africa.
As for the Americans, they have relatively rich resources and have never paid much attention to the situation in Africa. This is a practice. Fan Wubing believes that as long as the domestic aircraft carrier formation can be completed and put into use as soon as possible, Africa still has great potential.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to acquire African mining as soon as possible, and the other is to increase investment in mineral resources and to improve the Southeast Heavy Industry and Lingxi Province’s large aircraft projects. If the navy and air force are armed, their influence in Africa will be stabilized, at least there is no need to worry about being bullied.
Another condition is that Fan Wubing focuses on developing African resources, that is, the terminal from Africa to Hengshan Port or Jiangshan Port is faster than from Brazil to the other side. Moreover, the iron ore here is of higher grade and lower price. For Fan Wubing, although the entire operation process will appear a little more troublesome, once the operation is successful, the benefits are countless.
However, a group of Jews were obviously a little confused, but they also knew that if Fan Wubing's anger could not be calmed down, they would have no good life in the future. Maybe Mr. Fan was angry and killed them to vent his anger. After all, these big bosses are the same and cannot tolerate being deceived by others.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is the busiest, but on the second day of the Lunar New Year, he should have visited his father-in-law's house. However, this time Shen Peiming didn't know what happened. The couple set off before the New Year and went to their hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to deal with some things. Therefore, Fan Wubing didn't have to be busy.
It was just half a day when the military sent him an invitation to attend the celebrations there.
"I feel like you are busier than the Standing Committee members." Shen Ying couldn't help but laugh at him when she saw this.
Fan Wubing said helplessly, "There is no way. After all, the military is now our big customer and cannot afford to offend it. Southeast Heavy Industry and Lingxi Province will have the main purchasing force in the future. It will always be inappropriate if you don't make a good relationship with them."
In theory, Fan Wubing doesn't need to care so much. After all, he has a member of the Standing Committee to borrow money. The military will not be embarrassed, but Fan Wubing is very clear about it. Although his Fan Investment Group is the leading consortium in China and the only private enterprise dedicated to the military, it would be inappropriate if you think it is natural for others to purchase your products.
Any powerful person must be respected enough, especially the higher the status of these people, the more they must pay attention to it. The relationship with the military has always been very good, which is incomparable to ordinary companies. Since we now have such resources, we must make full use of them and continue to provide favorable help for the expansion of our company.
And there is another thing: every year, there is a military and civilian event. Fan Investment Group can take advantage of this opportunity to walk around the top military leaders, and everyone can get what they need, and they are happy.
Therefore, in the afternoon, Fan Wubing attended an event organized by the Military Commission, greeted a group of senior generals whom he had known for a long time, and also gave Fan's investment group a gift for condolences.
"President Fan is so angry that he has to spend so much money every year." A general smiled at everyone, "But he is the kind of rich and powerful. Everyone doesn't need to be polite to him. Just when you have the opportunity to meet Vice Premier Fan, praise him a few more words, it's worth the price."
Everyone laughed apologized, but everyone knew very well that it was not easy to meet Fan Heng now. After all, the national-level leaders have excellent arrangements for all the time. Even if this general wants to meet Fan Heng, he needs to go through the formal procedures first. This is the level gap.
Fan Wubing is also very clear about this. If the general does not rank as a member of the Military Commission, he is just a general senior general, and he is much worse than the members of the Politburo, let alone compared with the members of the Standing Committee.
However, at this New Year's Eve, naturally, no one is so serious. Why bother? Why bother? If everyone is unhappy, everyone will complain.
Minister Zhang from the General Equipment Department also came over. When he saw Fan Wubing, he had to talk a few more questions and ask about the situation at home, Fan Heng's health, and Shen Ying and others. After all, the two families are relatives, and the topics are different from others.
Fan Wubing talked about the topic of aircraft carriers while chatting. He still attaches great importance to the information he sent back a few days ago, so he also hopes to know what the General Equipment Department has to say about this?
"Now we are all trying to digest it quickly, and it is difficult to make any decisions for a while." Minister Zhang replied, but he also said, "We must take the aircraft carrier project. The key is a question of timing. This is more difficult to grasp, and it depends on the determination of the senior management."
Fan Wubing nodded, saying that he could understand that if it were not for the impact of the bombing of the embassy and the Sino-US collision, the senior management probably would not have paid so much attention to the military's equipment issue. Although there is no war in the South China Sea, the sovereignty dispute between the Xisha and the Nansha has never stopped. Several small countries there often take advantage of the opportunity that China has been unable to reach and come to the cold, reminding the Chinese that the south is not peaceful, so the senior management also considers taking advantage of the aircraft carrier project.
At present, the most important problem is that technical and technological problems have not been solved. As for design capabilities, there are still some in China, but high-performance steel has always relied on imports. If this problem cannot be solved, it will not be able to truly build your own maritime giant.
Minister Zhang said to Fan Wubing, "The burden on your shoulders is very heavy. The national defense industry is a place that costs a lot of money. Without strong economic power, it will definitely be difficult to build an aircraft carrier formation. China has the national conditions of China. Although our aircraft carrier cost is definitely much smaller than that of the United States, if there is no investment of hundreds of billions of dollars or even hundreds of billions of dollars, it will probably be difficult to form combat effectiveness. You must be mentally prepared in this regard."
Minister Zhang's implication is that with the current domestic capabilities, it is natural to build aircraft carriers. However, because there are many places that require money, foreign countries have always been very sensitive to the issue of China's construction of aircraft carriers. Therefore, the operation of this matter requires great caution. Once there is a deviation, it is easy to be influenced by international public opinion, and even some people will oppose it in China.
But if such a project becomes private procurement, what will it look like?
