Yu Qingyang walked over and said, "Hello! I am Yu Qingyang!"
"Hello, Mr. Yu! I am the manager of the African office of Yuanmu Foreign Economic and Trade Co., Ltd., and my name is Zhang Qiang.
Mr. Mu asked me to pick you up!
The accommodation has been arranged!”
"Hello, Manager Zhang! Sorry to trouble you!" Yu Qingyang shook hands with Zhang Qiang and thanked him.
Yuanmu Company has such a large business in Africa that Yu Qingyang had previously entrusted Yuanmu Company to purchase construction machinery, container houses, office furniture, beds, quilts, etc. for them.
"No trouble, Mr. Yu, please!" Zhang Qiang said politely.
Yu Qingyang and his group followed Zhang Qiang out of the airport and got on the bus.
Everyone took a bus to the capital of Ajigeria.
There is a five-star Mushi Tianhua Hotel invested by Mushi Group here.
When I got off the car, the most eye-catching thing was that there were more than a dozen black men with guns and ammunition standing guard at the door.
There were two armored infantry fighting vehicles parked nearby.
Suddenly the air felt a little depressing.
"Mr. Yu, Ajigeria is still very safe now!
If you stay for a while, you will find that the people in Ajigeria are still very cute and kind!" Zhang Qiang explained to Yu Qingyang with a smile.
"Hmm! It looks quite novel!" Yu Qingyang smiled and pointed at the black man standing guard.
"Those are mercenaries from the Emperor's Mercenary Group!
The Mu Group has a lot of business in Africa, and the Imperial Mercenary Group is the armed force under our Mu family!
Its function is to protect our Mu Group's business in Africa!" Zhang Qiang introduced with pride.
Yu Qingyang was secretly stunned. Who would have thought that a young man who cooks wine and tea every day could have such a powerful family.
"Manager Zhang, are you ready with everything I want?"
"Everything is ready! On the way to Butan.
Let’s rest here for the night today, and we’ll set off tomorrow so it won’t delay your use!” Zhang Qiang said with a smile.
Because of Mu En's instructions, Zhang Qiang was very attentive and arranged rooms for everyone to rest.
A banquet was held in the banquet hall to entertain everyone.
After resting in the hotel for a night, everyone got on the bus again the next day and drove to the destination of the construction aid.
Butan is located in the southeast direction of the geographical glass.
To be precise, it is at the foot of a big mountain between Geographic Glass and Butan.
Yu Qingyang and the others will build a small town with complete facilities here.
Along the way, the scenery we saw was all earthy yellow, with occasional hints of green dotting it.
The vast sea of sand made it impossible for Yu Qingyang to distinguish between east, west, north and south.
Yu Qingyang finally saw what it means to have a vast land but few people.
The car drove all morning, and except when we just left the geographical glass, we could still see some small villages.
No more people can be seen behind.
The sky is clear, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind, and cattle and sheep can be seen low.
Unfortunately, 95% of the territory is desert. In the semi-desert Ajigeria, there is no grass blown by the wind, let alone cattle and sheep.
Only the occasional low tropical shrub comes into view.
Occasionally, seeing some wild animals, such as antelopes and wild donkeys, appear on the side of the road, which will bring everyone a surprise.
Let the people sitting in the car discuss it enthusiastically for a long time.
Yu Qingyang and the others should be heading towards the Sahara Desert.
Of course, you can't reach the Sahara Desert.
The place they went to was semi-desert.
Bored Yu Qingyang thought of a love poem he had read when he was in school.
My longing for you is like a grain of sand, and every time I miss you, it turns into a grain of sand, and then there is Sahara in the world.
Finally, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at their destination.
Close to the mountains, this is a transition zone between semi-desert and semi-steppe.
There are more than a dozen small villages, or tribes, around.
There were about three to four thousand people.
The small town that Yu Qingyang and the others want to build is built for them.
Yu Qingyang and his group got out of the car and stood on the ground, moving their hands and feet while curiously looking at the surrounding scenery.
After experiencing the earthy yellow and russet Gobi on the way, and then looking at the green scenery in front of us, it is simply a kind of enjoyment.
Take a deep breath, the air is filled with the fragrance of green grass and trees.
The air here has no industrial smell at all and is full of natural flavor.
"Mr. Yu, everything you want is over there!" Zhang Qiang ran over, looking for Yu Qingyang.
Following the direction of Zhang Qiang's finger, Yu Qingyang saw rows of buildings composed of sky blue containers.
I have to say that Yuanmu F Company is very considerate.
We have already helped Yu Qingyang and the others place the containers.
Three hundred containers form a camp.
Even the fence is made of shipping containers.
"Let's go and have a look!" Yu Qingyang took the lead in walking towards the container camp.
A circle of containers was used as a camp fence on the outside, and the huge space inside was filled with construction machinery.
There are also neat rows of containers.
Walking into the camp, you can hear the roar of the generator set.
"Mr. Yu, these containers have been modified and can be used for living and working!"
Walking into a container, it has indeed been transformed. Not only is the floor covered with wooden floors, but the four walls and roof are also inlaid with solid wooden boards.
There are switches on the walls and round ceiling lights hanging from the roof.
Yu Qingyang pressed it casually, and the light came on.
If you think about the roar of the generator set again, you will know that this is the electricity generated by yourself.
“The wiring in the room has been run in advance, just connect the power supply outside!
We have prepared a total of two 500-kilowatt generator sets, which can ensure the power supply of the entire camp!"
"Sorry to trouble you, Manager Zhang!
By the way, there is no problem with the diesel supply, right?"
"Haha!" Zhang Qiang couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Yu, the most indispensable thing in Ajigeria is oil. Diesel is very cheap!
Just feel free to use it!”
Yu Qingyang also felt that he had asked a relatively stupid question. Ajigeria is a big oil country.
"Mr. Yu, everyone may have to work hard today. The air conditioner has not been installed yet. It is estimated that it will not be used until tomorrow at the earliest!"
"Haha! It's okay. Let my people help and get dozens of rooms out first!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
Yu Qingyang walked out of the container and shouted: "Ding Changge!"
"arrive!"
"Take your brothers and install the air conditioner! Otherwise, everyone will have to sleep in a steamer at night!" Yu Qingyang said while wiping the sweat on his forehead.
The weather here in Ajigeria is really hot.
People in the capital are already wearing sweaters, and the temperature here is estimated to be thirty-five or six degrees.
"Yes!" Ding Changge agreed loudly.
He turned around and shouted: "Assemble! First Squadron, follow me!"
"Everyone else, start packing. First, pack out the room where you will stay tonight." Without waiting for Yu Qingyang's instructions, Zhao Xinlei took the initiative to ask people to start working.
The purchased living furniture and office furniture are piled outside, and I haven't had time to move them in yet.
"Mr. Yu, there are some things here that I need you to put away!" Zhang Qiang led Yu Qingyang to the place where the car was parked in the yard.
Opening the trunk of a khaki Hummer, there was a pile of assault rifles inside.
The classic domestic Bayi gun and the May 4th pistol known as the Black Star.
"Mr. Mu has considered that everyone is a veteran from China, so all the weapons prepared for you are domestically produced!" Zhang Qiang explained with a smile.
"Okay, that's good! They can use this gun more easily!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
"Zhen Long, Sun Jian!"
"arrive!"
"Bring the security team here!"
"Give these weapons to everyone..." Yu Qingyang pointed to the weapons on the car.
"There are more here!" Zhang Qiang opened the trunk of a Hummer again.
"A total of fifty August 1st guns and fifty May Fourth pistols!
A thousand rounds of bullets are prepared for each!
If it’s not enough, just give me a call and we can deliver it to you on the same day!”
"A lot! Didn't you say that Ajigeria is very safe?
These guns are just a precaution!
I don't want to be of use to them!" Yu Qingyang picked up a May 4th pistol and played with it.
There is no man who doesn't like guns.
"Yes! We don't want to use them!" Zhang Qiang smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Yu, this is a high-end RV made by Mercedes-Benz!
This is a gift from our boss Mu!" Zhang Qiang pointed at a dark RV parked next to him and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Mu, for me!" Yu Qingyang glanced casually and smiled.
RVs sound very expensive, but if you buy them abroad, without the high tariffs, they are really not worth much.
"Xia Xue, Qiao Lili, you two come here!" Yu Qingyang waved to Xia Xue and Qiao Lili.
Xia Xue behaved very well along the way. Although she looked around curiously, she did not come to disturb the conversation between Yu Qingyang and Zhang Qiang.
"What's up?"
Yu Qingyang pointed to the RV with a smile and said with a smile: "This RV belongs to you two!"
"For us?"
"Yes! A RV is much more comfortable than a container!
If you come to Africa with me, I have to take good care of you!
I'm going to get tanned now, won't Aunt Xue cause trouble for me later?"
"Great! I was just thinking about how to take a shower at night..." Xia Xue would not be polite to Yu Qingyang. She happily took the car keys and took Qiao Lili to the RV to visit.
"Mr. Yu, it was our mistake. I don't know... I will send you another RV right away!"
"No! This RV is enough!"
"What about you?"
"hehe!
Before the army well is reached, the general will not say he is thirsty; before the military curtain is ready, the general will not say he is tired; before the army stove is cooked, the general will not say he is hungry!
Since I have come to Ajigeria, I will share the joys and sorrows with my comrades!
What's going on with the RV?
Then I might as well control remotely from home!" Yu Qingyang smiled and patted Zhang Qiang on the shoulder.
"Manager Zhang, thank you for your kindness!"
After saying that, Yu Qingyang handed the pistol to Zhen Long and turned to leave.
Take a tour of the camp.
Everyone is busy on their own.
Ding Changge led people to install the air conditioner, and Zhao Xinlei led people to arrange the furniture.
Wang Jian took four chefs and seven or eight veterans to set up the kitchen and prepare to light a fire for cooking.
Come to the container with the word warehouse written on it.
"Mr. Yu, there are all the daily necessities you need inside!
Rice, noodles, vegetables, purified water, and local fresh fruits from Ajigeria are enough for you to use for a week!
From now on, we will replenish your daily necessities once a week!
If you need anything, you can call ahead!
President Mu ordered me to be responsible for your logistics support!"
"Well, then we will inevitably cause trouble to Manager Zhang from now on!"
"No trouble, no trouble! This is what we should do. Speaking of which, we should also thank Mr. Yu for taking care of our business!" Zhang Qiang said with a smile.
What Zhang Qiang said was very true. Even though Yuanmu Company was so proactive, Yu Qingyang said that food, accommodation, and everything else were fully prepared.
These things all cost money, and the prices are still based on Ajigeria prices.
Here are cheap containers, accommodation and office furniture, construction machinery, cheap diesel, and cheap local fruits.
Everything else is extremely expensive.
A five-liter bucket of purified water only costs a few yuan in China, but costs fifty yuan in Ajigeria. This is a face price.
Don't take it too expensive. The groundwater in Ajigeria is so bitter and astringent due to erosion by sea water that it is impossible to drink it.
After walking around the camp, I saw that everyone was busy with their own work without giving any orders.
"Mr. Yu, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first!
If you have anything to do, just call me!" Zhang Qiang walked around with Yu Qingyang, and waited for Yu Qingyang to read it over before saying goodbye.
"Manager Zhang, it's already that time, let's go tomorrow!"
"It's okay, there are so many of us walking together, there will be no problem!
After I return to Geographic Glass, I will help you prepare building materials!"
"Okay, then I won't keep Manager Zhang! If anything happens, let's call him!" Yu Qingyang did not force him to stay.
Send Zhang Qiang and others to the car.
When Yu Qingyang and others came, they had more than 100 people and built three buses. When Zhang Qiang left, they also had more than 100 people and built three buses.
The pallet truck carrying the container has already left long ago.
Those left behind are mercenaries and engineers who assemble and debug equipment.
"Mr. Yu, your network of connections is quite large! I thought we were going to live in a tent today!"
"Haha, Mr. Lu, depending on what you said, can I let you live in a tent?
However, living in a container is not much more comfortable than living in a tent!
From now on, we will share joys and sorrows together!" Yu Qingyang looked back at the middle-aged man in his thirties and said with a smile.
This sturdy middle-aged man in his thirties with a dark complexion is a chief supervisory engineer sent by the National Design Institute.
Came to Ajigeria with Yu Qingyang.
Although Mr. Lu is young, he has already served as the chief supervising engineer of several overseas aid projects.
This morning, when Yu Qingyang invited Mr. Lu and others to come together, Mr. Lu was not very happy.
Under normal circumstances, it would take two or three days to set up camp.
This is when everything is complete.
We don’t have everything in stock, so if we purchase it now, we can build the camp in a week or two, which will be great.
Unlike now, the campground has basically been completed and can be moved in with a little tidying up.
"Yes! From now on we will have to stir the spoon in the same pot!
Let’s all work together to complete the tasks entrusted to us by the country!”
"Work together, this is a good saying! When we go abroad, we must unite as one and work together to complete the tasks assigned by the country!" Yu Qingyang reached out to hold Mr. Lu's hand.
"Mr. Yu, I feel that this project should be the most worry-free project I have ever worked on as a supervisor!
Most of the people in your company are veterans, and your execution ability is incredible!"
ps: Today a reader abandoned the book because Xia Xue appeared again in the plot.
I am helpless!
But I still have to write!
It is impossible for all the characters in the story to be set according to your wishes!
Some characters make you like them, and some characters make you hate them. This is normal.
