Chapter 1035 One Belt One Road
Having said that, Frossoya was too far away, Jing Jian didn't have the leisure to care about it, and he couldn't even be busy with domestic affairs.
Since this time it was a secret visit and it was not made public, Jing Jian was soon taken to Busancho's private residence in the suburbs. After meeting, Busancho asked with a smile: "Old friend, why are you interested in coming to our Helan City this time?"
Jing Jian found that Busancho's smile was a little unnatural. There was no airtight wall in the world, so he should have noticed something more or less. Let the taste of mermaid meat never feel good. It may be able to bear it on the surface, but it will never be willing to be satisfied in the heart.
Jing Jian smiled calmly: "Of course there is something to tell my old friend. I think the relationship between friends should be honest..."
Then Jing Jian told Busancho completely about the discussion with Dr. Locke without reservation. Of course, some unrelated and confidential details were involved, so they were concealed. But basically everything was basically a pallet notification.
After hearing these words, Busancho's expression became very strange. What does this mean? Why didn't you ask yourself, and you took the initiative to say it?
Jing Jian explained with a smile: "I am not a diplomatic person, and I will not talk about diplomatic rhetoric that makes people guess the mystery. Moreover, we are friends, so we must give priority to the interests of our friends. First of all, the independence or free city of Helan City, which is up to you to choose. We Chinese do not like to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. I personally also like to win-win with our friends."
Busancho's expression was a little moved. The reason why he would rather be a chicken head was very attractive when he was put in the world.
Jing Jian smiled slightly and continued, "Busancho, in fact, no matter what your choice is, the Frossauya authorities will never give up the wealth in Helan City. How will politicians who oppose you choose? You must know more about these than us. But one thing cannot be changed. You want to rely on the balance of external forces and try to gain more benefits for yourself. This idea is correct, but it is no longer realistic. But now external forces have actively united together. How can you take the initiative into your own hands? This tests your wisdom."
"Oh?" Busancho leaned his back on the sofa and made a gesture of listening.
Jing Jian understood very well that Busancho was not only representing himself, but a group of people. Although he also had an important position among these people, he represented their common interests at this time. Some things cannot be decided by themselves, they are just a microphone.
"This is a diplomatic choice. As a small and poor country, Frossoya must rely on a big country to survive. If it was during the Cold War, you could get along with each other and have a certain amount of living space. Even if you are smarter, you can get a lot of benefits. But the current international situation is that Western countries led by the United States dominate, so they no longer need to win over allies widely. Even if they surrender, they will not get much economic benefits. Of course, no matter how few benefits are, millions of dollars will always be available. But it depends on what you need? Do you need an extra number in the Swiss bank account? Or do you rule the city for a long time?"
"First of all, confess to you, if it is more than money directly? China really can't come up with so many dollars. Its influence in Africa is far less than that of Western countries. Therefore, from the actual perspective, we can only choose to allied with them. But the purpose of our China joining the alliance is not to try to squeeze you hard like those Western countries. What we hope is to benefit each other, and we hope that you will develop the economy quickly and form a virtuous cycle of common prosperity."
"So the reason I met you this time was to exchange each other's views. You can make any requests you can make, and we can agree to what we can do. It is not that there is no common interest, and those who can reach a consensus can be solved one by one..."
“…”
Jing Jian was quite frank, pointing out a way for Busancho and the others - no external forces are actually reliable, the key is to rely on himself!
If Busancho wants to hold this position, relying on foreign forces is just a poison to quench his thirst and may be given up at any time. However, as long as he obtains the support of the local people in Helan City, his status will become more and more stable, and it will be difficult for external forces to find opportunities to intervene.
Of course, we actually understand the truth, and the key is how to do it. Jing Jian pointed out that we must vigorously develop the economy and cannot rely solely on the oil economy.
For example, open farm rentals and vigorously encourage breeding. Africa's natural conditions are better, and there is no shortage of farmland. What is lacking is nothing more than water conservancy construction and fertilizers, agricultural tools and other products, especially Helan City and large coastal waters. Instead of being idle and wasted, it is better to contract it externally.
As for who will come to contract? Then let’s put 120 hearts on it! Which farming company is more talented? The flower farming company is more modest and said it is second, which one dares to be the first?
In the past, I just didn’t know and no one came to organize it. Now I can rely on Jingjian to join forces with Helan City. First of all, the rental fee can be temporarily paid by Jingjian. After the wasteland is leased, the agricultural products produced can be supplied to the local market, which can not only ensure stability but also win people’s hearts.
As for the senior executives of Busancho, they can control the sales of bulk agricultural products and even export the excess, which can be played with many tricks, which is also quite beneficial to their own wallets.
Moreover, after a few years of land reclamation, these farms will still need to pay taxes, which will also be of great benefit to the local finances.
The second is to encourage local industry and commerce, and there are also some deep processing industries for crude oil. Jingjian also agreed to jointly build several cement factories, building materials factories, wood processing factories, etc.
The technical requirements of these factories themselves are very low, and the added value of the products is not high. If imported, the most expensive one is freight. It is better to export some machinery and equipment to build factories locally. Helan City also has the demand for these products, which can increase local taxes and employment rates.
Finally, there are light industrial industries targeting Europe, such as shoes, hats, clothing, textiles, etc. Since European and American countries have textile quotas for China, they have actually reached the bottleneck of exports. On the contrary, there is no such quota for Africa. Such curved exports can digest part of China's production capacity, such as zippers, buttons and other accessories, and can also increase domestic capital.
After all, domestic investment is mainly machinery. Many textile factories and light industrial manufacturers are cutting production and going bankrupt, and they can even obtain equipment from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. It is better to use it here to cultivate new markets.
