Xue Qin hurriedly stood up and took the tea from Director Su.
After thanking him, he replied: "Director Su, do you know that our President Yu is investing in building an artificial lake in Ajigeria?"
"I know! Didn't you say that HSBC provides loans?
Why did you contact the four major banks to apply for a loan?"
"The board of directors of HSBC rejected the previous agreement and refused to lend directly to Ajigeria!
So Mr. Yu decided not to cooperate with HSBC for this investment!
Seeking cooperation with the four major state-owned banks!"
"That's right! The last time Xiao Yu called me, I just wanted to say that our four major state-owned banks are not short of money and can't get this money!
Why do you have to cooperate with HSBC?
Let foreign banks make money?" Director Su said with a smile.
“Mr. Yu initially considered that if the political situation in Ajigeria was unstable in the future, the loan would not be recovered!
That’s why we hope that HSBC will directly lend money to Ajigiya. HSBC is a large international bank and will not worry about bad debts due to political instability!”
“This is indeed a real problem!
No one can guarantee that the political situation in Ajigeria will not be turbulent.
Now that the four major state-owned banks are directly lending money to you, Huayu, how do you avoid this risk?"
“Mr. Yu invested in building a large-scale cement plant with an annual output of 10 million tons in Ajigeria!
Invest in the construction of artificial lakes in exchange for tax exemptions for cement plants!”
"Tax-free? Can you earn such a large investment just by tax-free?"
“A ten-million-ton cement plant has an annual output value of more than 10 billion yuan!
Corporate taxes are an astronomical amount!
With just a few years of tax exemption, we can recoup our investment!”
"Is it so profitable to invest in a cement plant in Ajigeria?" Director Su exclaimed in surprise.
“Ajigeria is embarking on a major urban infrastructure construction project!
However, the domestic industrial base is weak, and more than two-thirds of cement needs to be imported!
The price of cement is six times higher than in our country!
Therefore, investing in a cement plant in Ajigeria is very profitable!"
“This kid is really capable of tossing things around!
You really want to build a tens of billions enterprise for me!"
Xue Qin smoothed her hair and smiled confidently at Director Su: "Director Su, we are not one tens-billion company, but two!
Huayu Investment’s assets will definitely exceed 10 billion within the next two years!
Ajigeria’s investments are all made in the name of the newly registered Huaihai Investment Group Co., Ltd.!
The cement factory is also a company owned by Huaihai Investment!
Based on the profitability of the cement plant, if everything goes well, Huaihai Investment will become a tens of billions enterprise in two years!"
Director Su touched his chin and said nothing for a long time.
They all say that it is difficult to run a business and run it!
But why, when it came to Yu Qingyang's hands, it seemed like he was just playing around. I didn't see him begging his grandfather and grandma all day long, asking for help everywhere. Why did this company just look the same every day?
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of ability.
As for why another company was registered, there is no need to ask. Director Su also knows the twists and turns involved.
The smartest people in the world are those who engage in politics.
"What do you need the office to do for you?" Director Su asked proactively again.
"Thank you, Director Su, for your concern. It's the registration issue of Huaihai Investment Group Company, because Mr. Yu is very worried!
It may be too late to follow the normal procedures. Can you help us communicate and handle special cases?" Xue Qin pursed her lips and softly spoke out the problems that needed to be solved by the leader.
This reflects Xue Qin's high emotional intelligence.
The leader offers to help you solve the problem. If you say no, how embarrassing will the leader be?
However, the problems you entrust to the leader to solve should not be too difficult for the leader, such as problems that violate principles.
Furthermore, the problem that the leader is asked to help solve cannot be too simple, otherwise it will insult the leader's IQ.
You can't handle such a simple problem well on your own? You are simply fooling the leaders.
The question Xue Qin asked now was just right.
The normal procedure is too time-consuming, so it is not troublesome for the leader to communicate, it is just a matter of making a phone call.
This matter is related to the construction aid in Africa. This is a major matter and is completely in line with the principle of special handling of special cases.
"Okay! I'll go back and communicate with Director Mao of the Provincial Industrial and Commercial Bureau!
Everything is for the country’s major policy in Africa!” Su nodded with satisfaction and promised Xue Qin.
…
A week passed in a flash, and it had been a month since Yu Qingyang and his party arrived in Ajigeria.
Yu Qingyang and the others have moved into the new base.
There is a spacious and bright restaurant, as well as a 24-hour bathroom.
The mixing station is still being installed.
The stone engraving machine production line has been installed and put into production.
Although a steady stream of stones is being processed.
The construction plan has also been adjusted again.
There are three excavators left on the other side of the creek valley, two for quarrying and one for loading.
All the remaining seven excavators were transferred to Road 1.
Except for the paver, all other construction machinery was put into operation.
The various types of stones that have just been produced and the by-product stone chips are mixed together and mixed into graded gravel according to a certain proportion.
Then use a dump truck to transport it to Road 1 and spread it onto the road to make a roadbed.
The bulldozer cooperates with the excavator in front to repair the soil roadbed.
The excavator excavates the side ditches on both sides of the road, and the soil produced is piled directly on the road, and the bulldozer bulldozes and crushes it to raise the roadbed.
Behind, a forklift works with an excavator to pave the graded gravel roadbed.
This is followed by a road roller for rolling.
Foreign-aided construction projects are no better than domestic ones, no matter what the purpose is.
Whether it is to win glory for the country or to establish a corporate image, Yu Qingyang specifically requested at the meeting that all construction be carried out in accordance with construction specifications.
After the graded gravel subbase is completed, technicians spread straight lines of gray.
The construction workers brought master workers from China and workers recruited from the local area to build the roadbed.
At the back, there are workers manually mixing concrete and making drainage ditches for the slopes.
Drainage ditches are built to prevent rainwater from scouring the slopes.
Although there is less rain in Ajigeria this season, it cannot be ignored.
It is worth mentioning that all the master workers who came from China were promoted to junior foremans, and each of them led four or five local workers.
After a month of language assault training and a short training in China, everyone was able to conduct simple conversations in Arabic.
It can be seen that the environment is very important when learning a foreign language.
Not to mention the managers of the project department, the most educated workers and masters who came to Ajigeria are probably junior high school graduates.
If we let them learn Arabic in China, let alone a month, even a year, they may not be able to reach the current level.
Originally, an excavator could be used to build the roadbed and repair the slope.
But in order to find some work for local workers.
At Yu Qingyang's suggestion, all work was done manually.
In fact, as mentioned before, using manual labor instead of mechanical construction in Africa will not increase the cost.
Who made labor in Africa so ridiculously cheap?
It’s just that the efficiency cannot reach the level of mechanical construction.
This afternoon, Yu Qingyang was reading a briefing in the office.
Qiao Lili communicated with the country via satellite phone and recorded the company's recent trends with a pen.
Therefore, this briefing is really simple, with one sentence for small things and one paragraph for big things. Only important things will be described in multiple paragraphs.
However, Yu Qingyang relies on such a sentence, a paragraph, or a short text to understand the current operation of the company.
Suddenly, Zhao Xinlei pushed open the door and barged in.
Yu Qingyang frowned and said to himself: Why is this old Zhao so reckless?
"Mr. Yu, it's not good! There was a mass poisoning incident at the construction site!" Zhao Xinlei was a little panicked.
"Mass poisoning?" Yu Qingyang stood up suddenly, knocking down the chairs.
"What happened? Where are you now?"
"There was collective diarrhea at the construction site, which was very serious!
On the way back!" Zhao Xinlei's face was covered in sweat, and he didn't know whether it was because he was anxious or because he was hot.
"Notify the infirmary and get ready! Those who are anxious at home must assemble!" Yu Qingyang ordered loudly.
When we came to the yard, all the employees at home had gathered and were standing in the yard on standby.
Yu Qingyang stood in the yard and looked outside anxiously.
"Yangzi, here are the gloves and mask, you put them on!" Xia Xue came over and handed Yu Qingyang the mask and gloves.
Two of its doctors and nurses are also distributing masks and gloves to others.
“Why are you wearing a mask?”
“Because I don’t know what caused the diarrhea!
Therefore, in order to avoid infection, everyone wears masks and gloves!" Xia Xue explained simply.
Masks and gloves are the simplest protective measures, and I don’t need to worry about so much at this time.
That's the condition.
Not long after, two dump trucks rushed into the yard.
The driver stopped the car and hurriedly opened the door and ran to the toilet!
Some people also jumped off the car and ran directly to the toilet.
After Ge Liang, director of the construction department, jumped down, he shouted to Yu Qingyang and Zhao Xinlei, "Someone in the car is dehydrated!"
Then I ran to the toilet holding my stomach.
"Quick, come forward and get the man off!" Yu Qingyang shouted and took the lead in climbing into the car.
As soon as I climbed into the car, I was almost washed away by the stench.
Obviously, someone couldn't hold it in and pulled him directly on the car.
At this time, I don’t care about so much anymore.
Yu Qingyang stepped forward, picked up a person, and sent him down, "The person below will catch him!"
At this time, Sun Jian and six other security guards also jumped on the car and carried the person down.
Fortunately, there were not many people who were dehydrated. Only six people were in a semi-conscious state due to dehydration.
He was carried to the infirmary, where after receiving the call, the medicine was already prepared.
The most feared thing about diarrhea is dehydration, so the most urgent treatment is to rehydrate.
Of course, it also contains conventional anti-diarrheal and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Two foreign nurses and three doctors skillfully inserted needles and hung up hanging bottles.
At this time, two more vehicles rushed back to the camp.
It was a hectic time again, and the infirmary could not accommodate so many people, so they had to move them to empty containers.
I bought many containers at the beginning, and more than half of them are still empty, and the beds and beddings inside are all complete.
Directly converted into a ward.
They are not allowed to return to their original dormitories because they are worried about contagion.
Diarrhea, who knows what it is, whether it is caused by bad food or other reasons, and whether it can be transmitted through the air.
After everyone was settled, Yu Qingyang ordered Sun Jian who was following him: "Count the number of people and see if they are all back?
Also, contact the people over at the creek valley and see how they are doing there."
"Yes!" Sun Jian took the order and left.
Yu Qingyang found Ge Liang, "Tell me, what's going on? What did you eat?"
"After lunch, we went to the construction site to work. We didn't eat anything, we just drank the mung bean water sent from the kitchen, and then some people started to have diarrhea.
I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but later I found that more and more people were suffering from diarrhea, and I felt uncomfortable in my stomach!
I just felt that something was wrong. After calling Mr. Zhao, I arranged for a car to take the people and drive them back..."
"Mung bean water? How can mung bean water cause diarrhea?"
"They have food poisoning. The weather here in Africa is hot and food spoils very quickly!
Especially mung bean soup, which has high protein and calcium content and is easier to spoil!
If you are not careful, you can easily cause food poisoning!" Dr. Sun replied from the side.
"This Lao Wang!" Yu Qingyang cursed.
"Mr. Yu, I have good intentions too... I thought that in such a hot day, it would be too hard for the brothers to work outside and they would easily suffer from heat stroke, so I made some mung bean water and sent it to them..." I heard Yu Qingyang scolding
Lao Wang, the chef elder Wang almost burst into tears and defended anxiously.
"Okay! Stop crying and looking sad!
I'll come back to you to settle your problem!
Go back and check the hygiene, don't cause similar problems again!" Yu Qingyang pointed at the chef elder Wang and cursed.
He also knew that Lao Wang had good intentions and did bad things, so he could only scold him a few words to relieve his hatred.
What has happened has already happened, there is no point in killing him.
When he came to Africa, Yu Qingyang attached great importance to food safety.
Consult experts specifically for this purpose.
It has been repeatedly emphasized to employees that they should not drink boiled water, mineral water, or purified water overnight.
You cannot eat the food if it is cold.
But he never expected that Lao Wang would do this to him.
Mung bean water is inherently a cold food and is irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. Some people with poor gastrointestinal problems may experience diarrhea after drinking mung bean water.
Now everyone is drinking spoiled mung bean water, and the diarrhea is getting worse.
Fortunately, I just drank spoiled mung bean water, and it was not diarrhea caused by other reasons.
This is probably the mildest form of food poisoning.
"Mr. Yu, I am mainly responsible for this matter!" Zhao Xinlei lowered his head and admitted his mistake to Yu Qingyang.
"What's wrong?"
"I suggested it. Brothers sweat a lot and drink pure water. Mineral water cannot replenish the lost salt, so Lao Wang boiled the mung bean water!"
"You!" Yu Qingyang pointed at Zhao Xinlei with his finger, "Okay! Let's not talk about this now!
Save people first!
We’ll study the rest later!”
The infirmary was well prepared and there was no shortage of various effective drugs for treating diarrhea, although everyone suffered a little.
However, fortunately there were no deaths.
Put on a sling bottle and replenish electrolytes. Even if you were semi-conscious due to dehydration just now, you will wake up in the evening and be out of danger.
"As for the issue of salt supplementation for on-site workers, this is not a trivial matter!
I ignored it in the past too!
Later, I will let the country produce some drinks specifically for supplementing electrolytes!" In the evening, the leadership team of the project department held a meeting all night to study, and Yu Qingyang reflected on himself at the meeting.
In fact, drinks that replenish electrolytes, such as some functional drinks that are often consumed in later generations.
Electrolytes sound fancy, but in fact electrolytes are salt.
Those functional drinks are not as magical as advertised. Their only function is to replenish electrolytes, that is, salt.
Of course, this was what Yu Qingyang learned from Xia Xue and two general practitioners in the afternoon.
