Chapter 261 The whole family goes to the capital(1/2)
The winding dirt road is dusty. The original trees and bushes on both sides of the road are airtight and block out the sky. Occasionally, you can hear long African folk songs. There will be a small pasture or farm here, with a few people singing happily.
Work seems like stars dotting the sky.
One second the sky was clear, and the next second there were a few clouds made of rain. In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky, the air was heavy, and a bolt of thunder and lightning suddenly pierced the sky. There was no time to react. The heavy rainfall was like crazy, and the beans were big.
Raindrops rained down heavily.
Feeling the unpredictable climate and breathing the hot and fresh air, Yao Yuanwei was attracted by several tracked armored vehicles in the convoy, and behind those armors were pulling semi-trailed ammunition trucks. His
His expression couldn't help but become weird, and he felt like he was on a battlefield.
Perhaps aware of Yao Yuanwei's thoughts, Kun Kun beside him smiled and said: "Yao! No need to be surprised. These armored vehicles are used to pull wood."
"Pull wood?" Yao Yuanwei was shocked.
Seemingly dissatisfied with Yao Yuanwei's surprise, Kunkun said confidently: "In this shitty rainy season, if we don't have the high horsepower of armored vehicles, how can we pull wood from the forest farm? The Soviets are so stingy.
They didn't leave a few armored engineering vehicles. We didn't need the turrets on them at all."
Yao Yuanwei was stunned. He held it in for a long time before murmuring and asked: "In addition to pulling wood, does it have any other uses?"
"In addition to not having to fight, armored vehicles have many functions. In the future, they can also cultivate land, which is what a bear from China taught us. What is missing now is special plows, which are waiting to be imported! You Chinese are like wizards
, even armored vehicles can be turned into tractors..."
Okay! Yao Yuanwei feels that he has refreshed his outlook on life. In fact... it seems that Northern Company also has a tractor factory, right?
"Kunkun, do you have a market for tractors there?"
"Of course there is a market, but there is no money." Kunkun said half-jokingly, "If this were not the case, who would use armored vehicles to modify them? The boss can borrow these armored vehicles without spending any money. However, there will be a certain demand for consumables such as plow blades in the future.
Although your Chinese products are cheaper, the German products are of better quality."
Regarding Kunkun's actual evaluation, Yao Yuanwei doesn't have too many thoughts. In many fields in this era, the quality of domestic products is still somewhat inferior. But...?
Yao Yuanwei glanced at Kunkun, the fat black aunt, who was no different from those housewives: "Kunkun, where did you find out about this?"
"Haha, let's get to know each other again. I am the general manager of Y Africa."
"Ah?" Yao Yuanwei felt unbelievable, "What about Mr. Qian?"
"Money is the small boss of Africa, that is, the small shareholder."
"So, do you know Li Yuan?"
"Of course I know Li, he is our big boss."
"Li Yuan? Big boss? How many properties does he have here?"
"I don't know, I don't think he even knows." Kunkun replied with a smile, "Most of the money in Africa is kept here to continue investing. The boss is a good friend of our Vera. He generally doesn't care.
Investment in small projects. Look, those wood are the boss’s business. Many people here rely on logging for their livelihood.”
As he was talking, he passed by two trucks filled with logs. One of them had fallen into a mud puddle, and the people on the truck were helpless.
The convoy slowly stopped next to the truck. There were very few people here, and they usually took the initiative to help.
However, when he saw Kunkun sitting in the car, a middle-aged black man on the opposite side shouted angrily: "Kunkun, we have a great president, a wise Chief Harden, and the unlucky one is you, a black-hearted mother-in-law."
You! You only know how to exploit us! Why don’t you repair such roadblocks?"
"Fakeyu!" Kunkun shouted directly, raising his middle finger, "It's all you people who have ruined the road. Who the hell don't overload?"
"Didn't you, a fat woman, force us to do so? If you add money, I will never object!"
"go to hell!"
Amid laughter and curses, an armored vehicle dragged the truck out of the mud pit. Harden also got into Yao Yuanwei's car. He apologized: "Sorry, it took me a while. The parliament has already approved the construction of this highway, so I don't know.
When will work start?"
Yao Yuanwei was a little surprised: "Have you encountered any problems?"
"There is no money. Our president is flying to the United Nations and the African Union every day. It's really unlucky. Why the hell did the Cold War end? You son of a bitch. It's hard to even get aid now."
Yao Yuanwei: "???"
Don't tell me, the confrontation between the two major groups has made these third world countries much better off, and they have received extra money such as military aid from time to time. Therefore, the greatest significance of Lao Maozi's existence is to prevent those European and American capitalists from going too far.
.
Therefore, in the post-Cold War period, countries in Europe and the United States began to repeatedly break through the lower limit, and finally showed their greed. Small countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America were indeed facing a period of dire straits.
…
Chatting along the way, Yao Yuanwei and the others were not that bored. Moreover, the primitive African scenery along the way brought them a lot of freshness. However, when they arrived at Baixi Town, they were still surprised.
The current Baixi Town has become a large construction site, with construction going on everywhere and busy people everywhere.
If you switch to China, this is not so strange. After all, the total population of Baixi Town is only 20,000 or 30,000, which is not as large as a rural town center in China. But the wilderness along the way just now suddenly entered the
A modern town gives people a strong contrast.
Harden smiled and introduced Yao Yuanwei: "There is a water plant under construction here. When the recruitment is completed, the population of Baixi Town may exceed 50,000. Sorry, the development speed is too fast and it seems chaotic."
"It's pretty good." Yao Yuanwei said politely. However, before he could finish speaking, he saw a group of people happily pouring out of the tent, and then a large group of people squeezed into the tent, "Harden, this is
Where?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Glancing in that direction, Harden smiled and said: "A cinema will be built here in the future. Now we are showing movies temporarily in the open air. A ticket is 2 CFA francs. I like watching movies here.
There are many people."
This is also one of the industries of the Yuanverse Cinema Line. Harden provided the land, and Li Yuan provided the funds, equipment and film sources, and the two jointly built a cinema.
However, Li Yuan didn't care much about "small businesses" like this at all, and even the construction aspect was ranked very low.
Yao Yuanwei suddenly saw a few more Westerners: "Huh? What about them?"
After greeting the Westerners, Harden introduced: "They are engineers from EDF. But the hydropower station was built by you Chinese."
France has a great influence in Africa. In the fields of infrastructure construction such as hydropower, they basically control the lifeblood of many countries. In this regard, the country cannot compete with France and other European and American countries for the time being.
"Bear!" Harden happened to see another acquaintance, "This bear is your agricultural expert from China. He is helping our farm construction."
Yao Yuanwei and Xiong Qi were very happy to meet fellow countrymen from other countries. After exchanging a few words, Yao Yuanwei asked: "Mr. Xiong, are you here to provide foreign aid?"
Xiong Qi waved his hand: "I'm not an expert in using waste heat. I'm not in agriculture either. I just have some experience in water conservancy projects."
However, before Yao Yuanwei could continue to ask, Pip came over anxiously: "Yao, quickly transport the weapons and ammunition to the dock, the customer is already waiting there. Dear Xiong, when the weapons are loaded on the ship, those armored vehicles will be yours.
"
Several people hurried to the dock on the edge of Baixi Town, and Yao Yuanwei was surprised again. Although it was just an inland river dock, there were still many people busy.
Kunkun on the side smiled and said: "Yao! Did you see it? This dock and these ships all have investment from our boss."
At this moment, Yao Yuanwei couldn't help but stand in awe.
They also did their homework before arriving in Africa.
The inland transportation in Africa is quite... there is no transportation, almost no railway network, and even the roads are basically dirt roads. If you want to travel long distances, it is better to take a plane. However, there are also very few flights, maybe two
There are no direct flights between neighboring African countries. Do you need to transfer through European airports such as Paris?
In other words, first fly from Africa to Paris, and then fly back from Paris to the African continent?
Therefore, water transportation has become very important in Central Africa. Almost all important cities and towns in several nearby countries have developed around the Congo River Basin.
Here, we don’t really care about the distance. As long as there is a pier, it is a place with convenient transportation.
It can be seen that the geographical location of this White Rhinoceros Town is really good. There is a road connecting the port of Sokil. No matter how bad the road conditions are, there is still a road. There is also a dock here that can go deep into the Congo River Basin.
.
In this case, there should be good market prospects here, right?
…
At this time, Li Yuan didn't know anything about the bad things in Hong Kong, and he didn't even know about the situation in Africa. He finally waited for the summer vacation and brought his family to the capital. Now he couldn't care about anything else.
"Brother! When will you take me to shoot a movie?" As soon as they met, Li Lanlan couldn't wait to hang on to Li Yuan, her eyes sparkling.
"The filming is almost over, who will wait for you?" Li Yuan looked disgusted.
"Ah?" Li Lanlan flattened her mouth, feeling endless sadness: "Wow——! Mom! Brother, he... wow——!"
The sudden loud crying immediately stunned Li Yuan on the spot. It's not that exaggerated, right? Is making a movie really so charming?
Seeing Li Lanlan's extremely aggrieved look, the others were also angry and amused. Qiqi pushed Gu Yuqin's arm away impatiently and looked at his third aunt curiously. Then he flattened his mouth and cried loudly: "
Wow wow——!”
Each voice is louder than the last!
Children are like this. They don’t need any reason at all, they just like people to go crazy. They even want to join in the fun by crying?
Li Yuan was crying inexplicably. But Zhang Zhen stopped. She coaxed her sweet grandson distressedly and glared at Li Yuan fiercely: "Yuanyuan, how do you become a father? Make your child cry as soon as we meet?"
"Huh?" Li Yuan has nothing to say. This makes no sense at all.
"Qiqi, don't cry. Can daddy take you out to play?"
However, when he saw a strange man, Qiqi cried even louder, and he tried his best to hide in Gu Yuqin's arms. Gu Yuqin also became dumbfounded.
To be continued...
