Chapter 381 Goodwill Ambassador
The Woheni tribe held a grand banquet to welcome guests from China.Vasil also came with some officials from the Siya tribe, and Ori naturally swept the couch to welcome him.The officials of the two tribes got together and kissed each other so loudly that Lin Zhenhua and the others felt like they were going to get cold rashes just looking at it.

There were also many Chinese people attending the banquet. In addition to Zhu Tiejun, Lin Zhenhua, Chen Tian, ​​Xue Lianshan, Jiang Yajing and other business leaders and government officials, there were also representatives of workers and paramilitary representatives.They sat together with the black people. Although they did not understand the language, they could feel the sincerity and enthusiasm.Everyone toasted frequently, and thousands of words were in the wine.

Most black Africans have bold personalities, and when they pick up their wine glasses, they just finish their drinks in one gulp, and their capacity for alcohol is often not enough. As a result, after a few drinks, their eyes become blurred, their words become more frequent, and some simply twist their heads. The African Yangko was played, which attracted bursts of applause.

Lao Dao stayed in the Woheni tribe for a few days. Although he was taken care of, the diet of the African was not something he could bear.This time, when the Woheni tribe was preparing for the banquet, Lin Zhenhua specially brought a few chefs from the construction site to cook some Chinese-style dishes, which finally made Lao Dao feel like coming home.On the dinner table, he was holding a large sauced elbow in his hand, and he was greasy and grinning after eating.

"Old Dao, I heard that you took the initiative to ask to stay as a hostage this time. It's not bad, you didn't embarrass our system." Chen Tian walked up to Lao Dao with a glass of wine, and said to him.

Lao Dao raised his wine glass, touched Chen Tian, ​​and drank it down. He said with a smile, "Chen Chu is overjoyed. In fact, when I saw Chief Ori's attitude, I knew there was no danger in staying. So, He offered it up."

Chen Tian smiled secretly, and said, "However, I heard that there is another reason for you to stay."

"what reason?"

"I heard that a beautiful girl from Hanhua Company has also stayed. The purpose of your stay has nothing to do with her, right?"

"Chen Chu, you can't talk nonsense. Yongmei is still single." Lao Dao's face turned slightly red.Not to mention, during the few days he stayed here, he and Luo Yongmei depended on each other for life, and a little bit of sparks really sparked.Luo Yongmei is a crazy girl, crazy to the age of 28, she has not found a boyfriend yet, and she is really a good match with Lao Dao.As for how to develop next, it depends on fate.

Chen Tiandao: "How did I remember that you are also single?"

"My body type... Oh, Chen Chu, you came here from China just to match me, right?" Lao Dao hurriedly avoided the question.

Chen Tian put away his teasing look, lowered his voice and asked, "Old Dao, have you gained anything from staying here for a few days?"

Lao Dao said: "I have talked with Ori several times, and I have also talked with some other educated officials in the tribe. They all said that the Americans once tried to win them over, and wanted to use them to fight proxy wars and squeeze our power. Get out. However, they also said that in this area, the image of the Chinese is very positive, and there are many tribes who are willing to cooperate with the Chinese rather than the West."

"Before I came out, I went to check the archives. In the past, our country invested a lot in this area, dispatched medical teams several times, and helped build hospitals and schools there. The local people have a good impression of the Chinese, so we should The work of Li Hui and the others is closely related," Chen Tian said.

Lao Dao nodded and said: "I also learned from some people. They were very impressed with the Chinese medical team more than 20 years ago, especially some elderly people. They said that other countries also sent medical teams or other volunteers here. , but those Westerners always put on a savior air in front of the locals, only the Chinese respect them as their brothers and sisters. Therefore, they feel closer to the Chinese.”

"It can be seen that these old blacks can still tell who is sincere and who is fake." Chen Tian muttered.

The old knife said: "Chen Chu, don't underestimate the blacks. In fact, the blacks are just simple in character, but they are not stupid. They also have their own values."

"It's good if you're not stupid." Chen Tian said, "Lao Dao, since you're here, stay here for a while longer. I'll explain the specific tasks to you after I return to the construction site."

"Yes!" Lao Dao solemnly agreed.

While Chen Tian was having a secret conversation with Lao Dao, Lin Zhenhua was also having a lively chat with Ori. They were accompanied by Zhu Tiejun, Li Hui and others, as well as some core members of the Woheni tribe.

"Chief Ori, what happened this time, in the words of our Chinese, is that we don't know each other without fighting. From now on, we will be a family, and we must cooperate sincerely to build a new homeland belonging to Africans." Lin Zhenhua told Ori Said.

Ori said: "Mr. Lin, I am very sorry about this incident. I assure you that from now on, I will be a family with the Chinese. Your business is my business. You need me to do it Anything, I will definitely do it."

Lin Zhenhua pointed to Vasir who was drunk at another table, and said to Ori: "Chief Ori, we have discussed with Minister Vasir, and we hope to bring more than 20 people around The tribes united to expand the scope of oil extraction and build several new factories. If these things can be done, then our more than 20 tribes will soon be able to become rich."

Ori said: "Great, Mr. Lin, I am willing to do things for you to contact other tribes. I know many tribal chiefs. I just need to tell them that this alliance was initiated by the Chinese. They must Will be willing to join."

Lin Zhenhua said: "In order to express our sincerity to the African people, at the request of Director Li Hui, we decided to donate to build 5 local hospitals, each with 100 beds. We will hire some doctors from China, At the same time, some will be hired in Khartoum, and finally some will be trained locally. After the completion of these five hospitals, your local medical conditions will be greatly improved, especially reducing infant mortality and deaths caused by diseases such as malaria and diarrhea. "

"Really? That's great!" Ori clapped his hands. Of course, he knows how much benefit the five new hospitals can bring to the local people in this place where there is a lack of medical care.He turned to look at Li Hui and said, "Chinese mother, did you suggest this to Mr. Lin? Thank you so much."

"Oli, you should thank Manager Lin, this is paid by their Hanhua Heavy Industry Group." Li Hui said with a smile.Regarding the matter of donating to build a hospital, she just mentioned it to Lin Zhenhua with an attitude of giving it a try, but Lin Zhenhua agreed wholeheartedly, which made her feel very touched.

Lin Zhenhua agreed to donate to build the hospital, not on a whim, but because he saw the far-reaching impact of the medical aid team to Africa and intended to emulate it.Africa is a very important part of Lin Zhenhua's strategic vision for Hanhua Heavy Industry. He must plan carefully and make arrangements in advance.The investment to build 5 hospitals needs about 200 million US dollars, and he can fully pay for this money from the project profits of the Siya Oil Refinery.With 5 hospitals as a platform, it will be much easier for him to build a tribal alliance with Hanhua Heavy Industry as the core.

"Oli, I also want to tell you some good news. These five hospitals are all called Hanhua China-Africa Friendship Hospital, and Director Li Hui will be hired as the honorary president." Lin Zhenhua laughed.

"Really? Chinese mother, do you really want to stay and be the dean?" Ori asked Li Hui.

Li Hui smiled and said: "Of course I can't stay here. I still have a job in China, and my husband and children also need me. However, I have promised Manager Lin that I will come here often, every year. Stay here for a few months to deal with hospital affairs."

"By the way, Sister Li, I thought of an idea." Lin Zhenhua rolled his eyes and thought of another idea: "I want to hire you as the goodwill ambassador of our Hanhua Heavy Industry, responsible for our company's various charities to Africa. What do you think of the activity?"

A goodwill ambassador is a spokesperson who is responsible for representing the company in various goodwill activities. The image of the goodwill ambassador directly represents the image of the company.No one is more suitable to be a goodwill ambassador than Li Hui. As long as the photo of her hugging Oli when she was 4 years old is printed, it will be a vivid symbol of China-Africa friendship, which is more important than any verbal propaganda. persuasive.With Li Hui's affection for Africans, she must be able to do this very beautifully.

"Xiao Lin, why do you think it's only a matter of time?" Li Hui was taken aback, "You didn't discuss this matter with me beforehand. What kind of goodwill ambassador is there? I don't know anything about diplomacy."

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said: "Sister Li, am I just discussing with you? Goodwill ambassadors don't need to know diplomacy, you just need to think about how to do charity in the local area. In terms of funds, Hanhua Heavy Industries will provide them. In addition , Hiring you to work is not free, I decided to pay you 1 yuan per year."

Lin Zhenhua said the last sentence in a low voice, this kind of thing must not be heard by others.The annual remuneration of 1 yuan was definitely an astonishingly high standard back then, but Lin Zhenhua was willing to pay so much.In later generations, if you want to hire a celebrity as a goodwill ambassador, the appearance fee can be calculated in millions.In Lin Zhenhua's view, those movie stars and singers who have never done a single job since they were young are not even qualified to carry Li Hui's shoes.

"1 yuan!" Sure enough, Li Hui almost jumped up as if his feet were stepped on, "Xiao Lin, you are exaggerating, my annual salary is less than 2000 yuan."

Lin Zhenhua whispered: "I will pay you 1 yuan, which is not much at all. Your contribution to the country is completely worth this much money. Let's talk about the reward when we go back. The matter of goodwill ambassadors , you promise to come down."

"Well, Chinese mother, I'm the first to agree to you being a goodwill ambassador." Ori also booed.

"But, does this conform to our foreign policy?" Li Hui looked at Xue Lianshan and Jiang Yajing and asked in embarrassment.

Xue Lianshan and Jiang Yajing exchanged opinions in a low voice, and then Jiang Yajing said: "Director Li, Manager Lin's appointment is an act of their company and does not violate our foreign policy. Carrying out charity activities in Africa is also part of our diplomatic work." It is a component, as long as you pay attention to strengthening the information exchange with our foreign affairs department in the future to ensure that the actions of the two sides can be consistent, it will be completely fine."

Li Hui nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll be the goodwill ambassador."
