I want to be a warlord

There are ghosts.

Start trading!
Someone gave the information, and Wang Zhen felt confident, so he was naturally more calm during the negotiation process.

He can probably grasp the thoughts of the official side. We are all our own people. Everyone knows where we don't care so much and where we pay more attention to.

Therefore, during the negotiation, Wang Zhen made substantial concessions in other aspects, but asked the official side to speed up the progress of the project.

"The progress of the project is more important to me. After all, the earlier we put it into production, the earlier we can make money."

"In addition, I need the official side to arrange for a technical team to stay in the factory for a long time to provide technical guidance."

"As you know, there is a difference between trial operation and actual production. Problems will always pop up inadvertently, no matter how fully prepared it is, it is useless."

"Nansu is not a country where you can easily find people to help solve problems. When the time comes, you will really be complaining about the lack of support from every day, complaining that the land and the ground are not working, and you can't find a place to spend money."

"Of course, I know that no one wants to stay in a ghost place like Nansu. There's not much I can do, except for some material compensation. I'm willing to pay a high price. I believe there will be some retirement or life encounters. The old technician who is in need is willing to make more money for his family."

"What are your requirements regarding the factory?"

"Don't be too modern." Wang Zhen was well prepared. "The employees we employ must be mainly black Africans. Too much electrification and automation are too unfriendly to these people. Most of them have to work continuously." I don’t even know how to subtract, multiply or divide.”

"On the other hand, I need something that can be replaced by manual labor. We should try to use manual labor as much as possible without affecting or not affecting efficiency too much. We need to solve the employment problem."

"Computer control is good for everything, but it is too unfriendly to the employment rate."

"Understood, we will try our best to meet your requirements in terms of production line design."

"..."

After three days of bargaining, Wang Zhen didn’t even need to mention the Eastern Equatoria dubbing movies, TV, and sports programs that Wang Zhen mentioned to Leader Li before. The official side paid more attention to them than he did.

I also want to see if this thing is useful, or how useful it is.

……

They were negotiating in Wangzhen, while President Kiir was taken around to make some regular international news.

Guo Jingyun only followed the negotiations on the first day, and then never participated in such activities that were not reported at all. In his spare time, he went back to his hometown, returned home in fine clothes, and pretended to be cool.

As for Natalia, she also did not participate in the subsequent negotiations. Accompanied by a dedicated person, she took a walk around Baijing, went to the Old Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, the Ming Tombs... and had a good appreciation of what true meaning is. ancient civilization.

As a European noble, she has been to ancient palaces in various countries. She has to admit that compared to the Chinese royal palaces and royal gardens, the so-called palaces and gardens of the European royal family are not comparable at all.

The European royal gardens that used to feel ancient and full of history have suddenly become... well, 'exquisite'.

Countries in Europe are too small. In ancient times, if you wanted to build such huge, exquisite, and luxurious palaces and gardens, you might not need everyone in the country to mobilize.

None of the royal palaces in Europe used as much manpower and material resources as the tombs of these Chinese emperors.

This was because Natalia didn't have enough time to visit several other ancient capitals.

No wonder Wang Zhen always looks arrogant every time he talks about history, culture, and inheritance, Natalia thought to herself.

Five days later, the informal visit ended successfully. With full harvest, the group boarded a special plane at the Capital Airport and flew directly to Juba.

……

"When will China start helping us build factories?" Kiel asked with great concern on the plane back.

"You can rest assured in this regard. In terms of mobilization capabilities, China is the best in the world. You should have experienced it when we built Juba Airport." Wang Zhen said with a smile: "I have made many achievements in other places. Small concessions include increasing the loan amount from US$4500 million to US$5000 million, and promising that all equipment, product design standards, and later maintenance will be carried out in accordance with Chinese standards.”

"So, they agreed to draw people directly from other ongoing projects in Africa to help us move the project forward as quickly as possible."

"Of course, we also need to make some preparations here. When I go back this time, I will first solve the cement problem. Whether it is pruning small hydropower stations, limestone mines or cement plants, a large amount of cement is needed."

"This thing cannot be shipped from the east. It is too cheap. It can only be purchased locally."

(Ordinary cement costs 350-400 per ton. The previous article was wrong and was pointed out by readers)
Keir instantly understood what Wang Zhen meant.

In the past, all the cement consumed by South Sudan every year was imported, either from the Nigerian Dante Group or the South African PPC Group. On the domestic side, there were several channel dealers holding import cement licenses.

This industry chain has existed for many years, and there are many senior government officials and large tribes among them. They control prices and channels. While they are full of money in this industry chain, they also control a lot of political resources by relying on necessities such as cement. .Now Wangzhen is planning to build a cement plant in China, which will be of 100 million tons level when it is launched. South Sudan's current annual cement consumption is only 400-500 million tons, which means that it will eat up one-fifth of the market in one bite.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.

These people are definitely going to fall out with Wang Zhen, and Wang Zhen still needs to buy cement from them...

Gee.

Although it is said that as long as there is enough profit, capitalists can sell the rope to hang themselves, but how good is this sufficient profit?

Wang Zhen went crazy and bought cement at several times the price!

After thinking about it, Kiir said: "The most I can do is get you a cement import and export license, order the customs to give you the green light, and then ensure that the Dinka faction of the government army will not take action against you. For the rest, I There’s nothing we can do.”

Wang Zhen curled his lips, he didn’t know whether the customs would listen to you or not. Of course, he also knew that President Kiir could not control that far.

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and Wang Zhen didn't have any good ideas for a while.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. I'm so anxious that I can just ship it from China." Wang Zhen said casually.

"We are a landlocked country. As long as the Dante Group wants to choke you, you can't even unload the goods at the port." Kiel poured cold water on it.

Wang Zhen: "..."

"Changing the topic, some time ago, my people intercepted a batch of hemp grass and No. [-] in Najishot." Wang Zhen called for two glasses of wine, raised some seats slightly, and shook the wine glass.

"Haha, it's normal. That side is an important passage for drug criminals and smugglers. You will encounter more of them in the future. This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult to develop minerals in Kineti Mountain." Kil said with a smile.

“The government doesn’t have any measures?”

"There is nothing I can do, not to mention those drug criminals in Uganda and Kenya, even I in South Sudan can't do anything. I know that many small tribes have given up grazing and mainly make a living by growing hemp grass, opium poppy, and khat grass. They rely on selling this to make a living. , Unless I can find something more profitable for them than this, they will not give up." Keir said matter-of-factly.

"I don't care. Anyway, these things are basically sold to Europe in the end. Even if they poison people, they are poisoning Europeans. Why should I risk local unrest to take care of this kind of thing."

"Besides, some European and American countries have always had an ambiguous attitude towards drug use. For example, in the Netherlands where Miss Natalia is located, drug use is legal."

"What, you are a staunch anti-drug advocate?"

"Shit, okay, I'm not." Wang Zhen spread his hands and said, "There are so many drug addicts around the world, and governments around the world can't control them. How can I, an outsider, control them?"

"But I will resolutely ban drugs in the areas under my control. I have created jobs and let workers earn money. I am not asking them to give money to drug criminals. Their money can only be spent on the industries I want them to spend."

“If you’re going to grow marijuana, who’s going to work in a factory?”

"What's more, they are basically armed drug producers and dealers. I will not allow other armed forces to exist in my control area!"

"Well, except for government troops, of course."

Kiir took a deep look at Wang Zhen and shrugged, "I can't help you with this matter. Many Dinka tribes are involved in the pan-drug industry chain. If it weren't for the opposition of the African Union, the European Union and the United Nations, I wouldn't be able to help you." The government is preparing to issue a decree legalizing the cultivation of cannabis.”

Wang Zhen's face was full of speechlessness. He stretched out his thumb and gestured, "Very good, very advanced, very free, very advanced thinking."

After a long silence, Wang Zhen's mind turned a few times and said, "At least now, you can't get much benefit from the drug industry chain in Nansu. Just admit it."

"Yes, so what?" Kil looked at Wang Zhen with interest. He was not Wang Zhen's younger brother, and he would not go along with Wang Zhen's will if it was not in his interest.

"I remember that the African Union set up an organization specifically to deal with the problem of drug abuse in the Sahel."

"Yes, the African Union announced in May 2011 that in the next 5 months, the four countries in the Sahel region will focus on training 18 to 2.5 troops to combat terrorism and organized crime." Kiir recalled After a while, he said: "In September 7.5, the United Nations formulated a comprehensive strategy for the Sahel region involving "security, governance, development, human rights and humanitarian matters" to curb organized crime, arms trafficking and other issues."

"The main source of income for terrorists is drugs. Drugs and terrorism are inseparable. In other words, in the Sahel region, it is politically correct to crack down on drug criminals." Wang Zhen's thinking gradually became clearer.

Keir nodded, "What do you want to say?"

"In this case, our respected President Kiir, who has been committed to fighting drug criminals and terrorism and helping to restore peace in the Sahel region, why not use this opportunity to make some money from the African Union and the United Nations." Wang Zhen grinned, With a meaningful smile on his face, "Not only can you make a lot of money, but you can also buy a batch of equipment reasonably and legally in the name of anti-terrorism and anti-narcotics."

"Hmm!!" Kil suddenly sat up straight. (End of chapter)
