Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

Chapter 340 Fighting for Resources
After Zhao Ye finished speaking, he announced the official opening of the China-Africa Investment Summit. Representatives from African countries can come up with their own projects and look for investors.

The African delegation also came well prepared and had prepared many projects. When they saw Zhao Ye stepping down, everyone swarmed in and loudly promoted their country's projects.

"Mr. Zhao, we in Somalia are planning to build a port, and we hope to get your investment!" The representative from Somalia happened to be at the front, looking at Zhao Ye with burning eyes.

When Zhao Ye heard this, his expression suddenly froze.

"My lord, there are so many pirates in Somalia. Are there any plans to repair the port?" Zhao Ye muttered in his heart.

"Somalia is building a port, right? OK, I will send people to inspect this project. If the inspection passes, I think I will invest!" Zhao Ye replied with a smile. The location of Somalia is indeed very good. It is located in the northeastern corner of Africa. , guarding an important channel for world maritime trade, with more than 2 merchant ships passing through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden every year.

Through the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea, and the Suez Canal, you can reach the Mediterranean Sea and head to Europe. Compared with going around South Africa, the distance is much shorter.

Although Somalia is famous for its pirates, no pirate organization dares to attack the port. At least Zhao Ye has never heard of such a thing in his previous life. After all, the local armed forces that control the port are very powerful, and it is not something that Somali pirates can offend. Started.

Although Somali pirates are famous, they are weak and can only rob merchant ships. If they encounter a polar bear merchant ship, they may even be killed.

Therefore, it is actually possible to invest in ports in Somalia.

Zhao Ye is not afraid of pirates, and maybe he can give the Guardians of the Galaxy an excuse to use the opportunity to strengthen their armed forces.

Zhao Ye is very interested in mastering a powerful armed force!

Returning to the China-Africa Investment Summit, Zhao Ye began to arrange for the company's investment department employees to discuss projects with representatives from African countries.

Mainly based on projects proposed by Wujiang Group itself.

Representatives from African countries came to the China-Africa Investment Summit this time with the intention of taking advantage, so many projects were simply huge pitfalls. Wujiang Group was more willing to invest in projects that it investigated and researched on its own.

Of course, this China-Africa Investment Summit does not necessarily require an investment agreement to be signed at the summit. It would be good to be able to reach an investment intention on the spot.

The projects proposed by Wujiang Group are relatively reliable, taking into account the interests of African partners and striving for a win-win situation as much as possible. After all, African countries are not fools, and they are also very smart.

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Zhao Ye believes that as long as the other party finds it profitable, then there is a high probability that the other party will agree to cooperate.

African countries are now very poor, so Wujiang Group has put forward several cooperation plans.

In a large reception room, Wujiang Group took the lead in inviting representatives from the top ten mineral resource countries in Africa, including South Africa, Congo, Guinea, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and other countries.

Zhao Ye said bluntly: "Hello everyone, the reason why our Wujiang Group is the first to invite representatives from various countries is mainly because your country has rich mineral resources. Our Wujiang Group is very willing to cooperate with various countries to develop mines! For collaborators, we Wujiang Group is willing to give priority to low-interest loans to help him build railways, ports, highways, etc..."

Zhao Ye paused, giving everyone more than ten seconds to think, and then said: "Frankly speaking, it is very difficult for African countries to develop, but China is willing to lend a helping hand, and China is fully capable of helping Africa." The country is rising rapidly!”

“We in China can do things that European and American countries cannot do!”

"What the European and American countries are unwilling to do, we in China are willing to do!"

"No one in the world knows how to make a country develop rapidly than China does! We in China have extremely rich experience! We are not like Western countries, which rely on colonizing other countries, plundering the wealth of other countries, and selling black slaves. To get rich, we have become the largest economy in the world today by relying solely on our own development!”

When Zhao Ye spoke, he couldn't help but give Western countries a hard kick.

Many African countries still have a glimmer of hope in Western countries, believing that Western countries often provide them with assistance and are "good people" worthy of trust.

Zhao Ye believes that the horrific shadow that the slave trade brought to Africa will never be completely forgotten.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Ye finished speaking, the expressions of representatives from various African countries changed.

Zhao Ye knows very well that Western countries will definitely not sit back and watch China's large-scale investment in Africa, and will definitely take action to hinder it.

The West does not want Africa to be good, and it does not want China to increase its influence in Africa.

If European and American countries oppose Wujiang Group's investment projects in Africa, then several African countries may have wavering minds.

Zhao Ye has to make the image of Western countries stink and let Africa know that only China is sincerely helping Africa develop.Of course, while helping Africa develop, we also hope to reap some rewards, which are Africa's various resources and the African consumer market with huge future potential.

At this time, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little heavy.

Suddenly, the representative of Tanzania loudly said: "Mr. Zhao, we in Tanzania are willing to cooperate with Wujiang Group. Our country has rich mineral resources and can be developed by you! Our country has great trust in Wujiang Group and China!"

When Zhao Ye heard this, he felt happy and said quickly: "Thank you to the representatives of Tanzania for trusting us. I believe that our cooperation will definitely bring a happy life to the people of Tanzania!"

"Mr. Zhao, Guinea is also willing to cooperate with the Wujiang Group!" The representative from Guinea saw that the representative from Tanzania had expressed his position, so he quickly followed.

Everyone now knows that the prerequisite for cooperating with Wujiang Group is to first take out their own mine development rights. In fact, for many African countries, this is nothing. They themselves do not have the ability to develop these mines. .Rather than guarding the mines, it is better to cooperate with Wujiang Group to obtain investment assistance from Wujiang Group in infrastructure construction.

"Mr. Zhao, we in Congo are also willing to cooperate!"

“We in Zambia are also willing to cooperate!”

"..."

Everyone said in a hurry.

"Thank you for your trust in Wujiang Group. At the same time, you have made the most correct decision!" Zhao Ye smiled, walked up to everyone, and shook hands with everyone!Regarding the specific details of cooperation, the staff around Zhao Ye will contact them one-on-one to discuss in detail.

After a while, in the conference room, representatives from various countries couldn't help but scream with excitement.

The representative from Tanzania looked at the project cooperation list handed to him by the staff of Wujiang Group, and he became excited.

Wujiang Group has formulated a very detailed investment plan for Tanzania, involving dozens of industries such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, with a total investment of no less than 1450 billion yuan. Once these investments are fully implemented, Tanzania's economy will take off rapidly.

Other countries have similar investment plans.

Everyone discovered that Wujiang Group’s total investment in their country alone exceeded one trillion yuan!
They couldn't help but sigh with emotion at their strong financial resources.

……

Next, the China-Africa Investment Summit frequently reported good news that Chinese companies and African countries have reached certain cooperation intentions.

It is not difficult to see that Chinese companies are still very interested in investing in Africa, and the joining of Wujiang Group has given them a lot of confidence.

Western countries are not happy at this time, claiming that the purpose of the China-Africa Investment Summit is to aggravate Africa's debt crisis, and that China actually has no good intentions.

The Western media guided public opinion, slandered and attempted to sabotage the China-Africa Investment Summit.

However, this seems somewhat futile.

Isn’t it great to invest in real China?
And judging from the data, Western multilateral and private creditors are still the largest creditors of African countries.

In fact, African countries still know their own situation very well, so they don't believe the nonsense of the Western media at all.

The week-long China-Africa Investment Summit went smoothly, with the amount of intended investment reaching more than 6000 trillion yuan.

Even if only part of it is finally implemented, it will have a big impact on Africa.

……

two months later.

The cooperation between Wujiang Group and African countries is proceeding very quickly. This is mainly due to the fact that Wujiang Group has made sufficient preparations before. Most of the projects are proposed by themselves and they have complete plans.

Chinese infrastructure construction teams have gone abroad one after another and began to help African countries build railways and ports, taking the lead in opening up transportation to facilitate the transportation of minerals.

At this moment, the entire Africa has begun vigorous construction!

Slogans like “If you want to get rich, build roads first” have appeared in many places.

Galaxy Mining Group acquired many natural resources at this time, not only iron ore, but also coal, chromium, asbestos, gold, silver, lithium, niobium, lead, zinc, tin, uranium, copper, nickel, diamonds, etc.

At the same time, we introduced advanced mining machinery and vigorously promoted technological reform.

Such measures have unsettled the entire mining industry.

Australian iron ore companies, in particular, are very worried that the rise of Galaxy Mining Group will seriously threaten Australia's iron ore exports.

However, there is nothing they can do now to stop China's investment in Africa.

Today, African countries are developing rapidly every day, and China's investment has brought huge changes to them. This change has given hope to the African people.

African people have learned through TV or newspapers that China is helping them build railways, build ports, build power stations and invest in factories. This makes them very happy and can't help but look forward to the future.

Needless to say, China's investment in Africa has also led to the development of the domestic economy, and many infrastructure-related industries have experienced explosive growth.At the same time, a large number of migrant workers went overseas to work and received high wages, which greatly increased family income and consumer power.

It’s not that we don’t want to hire African workers. The main reason is that African workers can’t work as fast as Chinese workers. If African workers are asked to build roads, we don’t know how long the project will be delayed. In the end, the project construction cost will greatly exceed the budget.

However, as China increases its investment in Africa, many people in the country do not understand this.

Why aid Africa?

Isn’t it good to have so much money to develop China?

In fact, China has developed to the point where it must compete for resources from the outside.

Whoever gets the resources owns everything.

China is not being taken advantage of, so why would it invest in Africa for no reason? It is not that it is coveting Africa's natural resources.

Fortunately, in this life, Wujiang Group was very powerful and invested heavily in Africa, allowing Galaxy Mining Group to acquire a lot of African mineral resources in one fell swoop, including the Simandou Iron Ore Area in Guinea, the largest iron mine in Africa.The mining area has huge reserves and the quality of the iron ore is very high. The iron content of the ore reaches 67%, which is more than the 48% iron content of Australian iron ore. This means that more steel can be extracted per ton of iron ore.

Guinea handed over the mining rights to this iron ore area to Galaxy Mining Group, and Wujiang Group helped Guinea build a 650-kilometer railway line and a modern deep-water port.

If Galaxy Mining Group develops the Simandou iron ore area, it will no longer have to look at Australia’s face!
