Yu Qingyang really didn't know before that there were so many types of skin colors.
There are black beauties who are very dark, and there are beauties who are not so black, and there are also very white ones, as white as porcelain, and there are not-so-white ones, some are coffee-colored, some are brown, some are red, some are yellow, and some are wheat-colored.
"Yu, my dear Chinese friend! This is my gift to you, are you satisfied with it?
Don't worry, they are all clean!" Ronald said to Yu Qingyang excitedly.
Even the title has changed to, Yu, my dear Chinese friend.
This is the ferment of the last time the Japanese exposed Yu Qingyang's bribery incident.
If Yu Qingyang generously gave Ronald 110 million before, Ronald would only think that Yu Qingyang was generous and heroic.
After experiencing the bribery incident again, Ronald gained more trust and intimacy with Yu Qingyang.
A brick factory was also put into operation, which employed more than fifty Ajigerians, which had a side effect.
Coupled with the wooing of people from the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Algeria, Ronald instinctively classified Yu Qingyang as one of his own.
Your own people must not be dragged away by those bastards of Geographic Glass.
Hence the idea of giving gifts.
After some explanations from Ronald, Yu Qingyang finally understood the identities of these people.
slave!
A term that should not appear in the 21st century.
But it does exist.
There is an underground slave trading center in Butitatan.
Annual transaction volume reaches hundreds of millions of dollars.
A few hundred for men and a few thousand for women. The ones Ronald gave to Yu Qingyang were of the highest quality and were estimated to cost hundreds of thousands.
Don't think that these people are forced, many people become slaves voluntarily.
Selling oneself.
Just like selling oneself into slavery in ancient China.
After Yu Qingyang was stunned for a moment, he quickly smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Mayor Ronald! Then I'm not polite?"
"Haha...ha! You're welcome!" Seeing Yu Qingyang accepting his gift, Ronald was even more happy.
"Mayor Ronald, I like your gift very much!"
"As long as you like it! As long as you like it! You have provided us with such great help!
Although our economy in Ajigeria is relatively good in Africa, we are still very poor compared to you!
We still need the help of more friends like you!"
“Mayor Ronald, don’t worry! We will increase investment next year!
Strive to provide more jobs for Butantan City!" Yu Qingyang promised with a smile.
What Yu Qingyang promised was to provide more jobs for Butitai City, not Ajigeria.
This made Ronald even more happy.
I feel like my gift was not given in vain.
"Great! Yu, my dear friend!
Did you know?
We here in Africa like to deal with you Chinese the most!
Because you sincerely help us develop our economy!
Unlike Western countries, their purpose in coming to us is just to take away our precious resources cheaply!" Ronald said sincerely, holding Yu Qingyang's hand.
Yu Qingyang smiled and did not answer.
What Ronald said is true, but also somewhat false.
China's help to Africa is not without asking for anything in return, but it does not use predatory methods to seize Africa's mineral resources like Western countries.
Just like the cement factory invested and built by Yu Qingyang, has no one in Western countries seen the profit from building a cement factory?
Someone must have seen it.
It's just that big companies don't like it. They are more interested in oil, gold mines, diamond mines, iron mines, and copper mines.
Small companies do not have the ability to build cement plants, or the cement plants they build are small plants with a daily output of one to two thousand tons.
Many small cement plants in Ajigeria were built by them.
For example, part of the cement Yu Qingyang uses now is produced by them, and most of it is imported.
Businessmen from Western countries invest the most in Africa in mineral resource extraction and agricultural production.
There is also investment in industry, but relatively speaking, the proportion is very small.
What African countries welcome most is the kind of industrial production invested by Yu Qingyang.
Rather than mineral mining in Western countries.
It is true that I like to interact with Chinese people, but it is a bit hypocritical to say that they hate Western countries and like China.
These people actually yearn for life in Western countries deep down in their hearts.
Subconsciously, I am also oriented towards Western countries.
If you give them two choices, let them choose whether to immigrate to the United States or immigrate to China.
Under the same conditions, the vast majority of Africans would choose to go to the United States.
This is reality.
Of course, Yu Qingyang cannot solve or change these problems.
All he can do is make money.
When others were digging for gold in Africa, he also dug to see who was more capable and who dug more.
"Yu, can you tell me where you plan to invest?" After shouting the slogan of China-Arab friendship, Ronald began to care about Yu Qingyang's investment.
This is the point.
"Haha, we are engaged in engineering! Investment is naturally inseparable from engineering-related industries!
Therefore, future investment will still focus on building materials!" Yu Qingyang said with a chuckle.
"Building materials? Building materials are great! Our country is engaged in infrastructure construction and needs a lot of building materials!
However, our country’s industrial base is weak and most building materials need to be imported!
Dear Yu, if you continue to invest, you must tell me in advance so that I can get more preferential policies for you!" Ronald was a little disappointed, but he also understood that he expected a construction engineering investment company to invest in the steel plant.
, investing in a machinery manufacturing plant is somewhat unrealistic.
“Thank you Mayor Ronald for your support!
There will definitely be investment. I was just studying future investment projects with my subordinates!
I will definitely tell you in advance when there are results!"
After chatting for a while, Ronald said goodbye and left, "Yu, my dear friend, I won't disturb you anymore! I wish you a pleasant night!" He winked at Yu Qingyang.
"Haha! I think today must be a pleasant and wonderful night!" Lucky glanced at the ten beauties standing next to him.
It can be seen that this was specially trained by someone.
From the moment you come in, you stand straight and always keep a smile on your face.
It's just that the smile is a little stiff, and the fear for the future is revealed in his eyes.
Slave traders collected all kinds of little girls from all over the world, trained them, and sold them to rich people as playthings when they grew up.
These women are like goods, being bought and sold.
The first time they are sold, they will be relatively expensive. A model of this level is estimated to cost hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It depends on the degree of training.
It would be cheaper if you simply raise her and teach her some techniques to please men.
If you have other skills, such as those who are proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in ancient China, it will be a little more expensive.
When the people who buy them get tired of playing with them, they may be sold exclusively, and then they will be cheaper, maybe tens of thousands, maybe only a few thousand.
Although I don’t want to say it, the reality is so cruel.
Behind the light, there is always darkness.
After seeing Ronald off, they arrived at the room and saw Qiao Lili staring at him angrily, "Mr. Yu, I misjudged you! I didn't expect you to be such a person!"
"Someone like me?"
"They are all human beings, and they are just given here and there as gifts by you!
You just gave it up and accepted it! Men don’t have any good things!”
"How to talk to the boss? Hurry, take them to change clothes!
No matter how hot it is in Africa, there is no need to dress so frugally!" Yu Qingyang smiled and patted Qiao Lili's head.
"I'm not going! Why don't you change your clothes? Wouldn't this be better?
You’ve got nothing left to do! Don’t you men just like women to dress like this?”
"You little girl, you want to rebel?" Yu Qingyang scolded with a smile.
After scolding, Yu Qingyang opened his mouth to explain: "I kept them to help them!
If I hadn't accepted it just now, I would have offended Ronald first!
Second, they will continue to be sent around like goods!
If I accept it, at least I can help them get over their old lives and live a normal life!"
"Oh! I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, I wrongly blamed you!" Qiao Lili lowered her head and apologized.
"Okay, take them out and give them some normal clothes!"
"I know, Mr. Yu! Then how do they arrange it?"
“Bring them back to the camp first and let them work to earn money to support themselves!
My money didn't come from the strong wind, so how can I support ten of their mouths for nothing?" Yu Qingyang finished speaking angrily, turned and left the room.
He went to continue discussing the future development of the company with Angela and others.
He has been in Africa for more than two months. After spending the New Year with the workers, he will return to his country.
Therefore, we need to communicate some things in advance with Angela and others, including the company's development direction.
As for the construction site, there is no need to worry, Zhao Xinlei has fully adapted to the new working environment.
It has also proven its ability to manage projects in oil towns.
"How was the discussion? What are your thoughts?" Yu Qingyang opened the door and walked into the suite that was temporarily used as a conference room, and asked with a smile.
"Boss, we just sorted it out again and found that there are actually too many projects that can be invested in Africa!
Instead, I don’t know where to start!
However, we have discussed a principle, which is that future investment projects should target projects with high entry barriers and resource-based projects!" Angela and others stood up to welcome Yu Qingyang's arrival.
Who said foreign devils are upright and cannot flatter others?
Who says foreigners don't work overtime? It's because they don't get enough money.
It was now past nine o'clock in the evening, and their discussion was not as lively as before.
"Not bad! Your principle is very good!
We just want to take advantage of our financial advantages to carry out large projects, projects with high technical content and high thresholds!" Yu Qingyang smiled and nodded, "Do you have any preliminary considerations for projects with high thresholds?"
"There are several projects, boss, which one is suitable for you?
One is a PVC project!
Producing PVC and UPVC pipes!
The second one is the hardware building materials project!
There is a huge gap in Africa for these two projects!"
"Well, okay!
But one thing is that when investing in new projects, the head office will not use any additional money!
So you must complete the existing three projects first!
Wait until these three projects make money before considering the next investment!" Yu Qingyang reminded with a smile.
"We understand, boss, don't worry! According to our calculations, we will be able to recover our investment in the second half of this year, or early 2002 at the latest!
At that time, we will consider expanding investment or building new investment projects!" Angela said with full information.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news!
In four days it will be our Chinese New Year!
I invite you to come to the camp and celebrate the New Year with us!
Feel our Chinese festival!”
"Okay! Thank you boss for the invitation, we will definitely go!"
"I have participated in Chinese New Year celebrations. In Chinatown, when they celebrated the New Year, it was so lively!
It was more lively than our Christmas! There were dragon dancers and lion dancers. It was really amazing. They were able to jump on a two-meter-high wooden stake without using anything!
There are also people standing on tall logs, walking back and forth, jumping and rolling, without falling!
It’s so amazing, boss, are you Chinese all Kung Fu masters?” Talking about the Chinese New Year, Neil Thorndike excitedly told Yu Qingyang about the New Year celebrations he saw in Chinatown.
After he finished, he asked: "Boss, are there dragon and lion dances in the camp?"
“No! But there is a lot of Chinese food!
Of course, there will also be some more interesting programs!" Yu Qingyang shook his head and smiled.
Dragon dance is a northern tradition, and lion dance is a southern tradition. These are not easy to see in China.
Most people in China probably saw it on TV.
“Boss, it would be great to have Chinese food! I like Chinese food the most!
I have been to China and eaten a lot of delicious food, but the Chinese food I eat in Chinatown is not the same as the food I eat in China!" Neil Thorndike felt that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly compensated.
"I believe you will not be disappointed!
Now let me treat you to a midnight snack first!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
"Great! Boss, I know there is a great bar in Button!" Neil Thorndike said with a smile.
"Bar? Is there a bar in Ajigeria?" Yu Qingyang was stunned for a moment and quickly confirmed.
"Of course there is a bar! Boss, you haven't been there, right?"
"No, isn't alcohol banned in Ajigeria?"
"Prohibition of alcohol is for ordinary people in their own country!
Their high-ranking officials still drink, but not in public!" Angela explained with a smile.
Yu Qingyang felt that he was a bit old-fashioned.
I have been in Ajigeria for three months, but because I am worried about offending other people's beliefs and breaking the law, I have always asked the camp to strictly abide by the laws of Ajigeria and not drink alcohol.
As a result, I found out today that high-ranking officials in Aji and Lia were all drinking.
And there are such things as bars in the city.
Not as familiar as Neil Thorndike, a man who has only been here less than a month.
"Is it safe?"
“The bar is opened by a Frenchman and only accepts foreigners, not local Ajigerians. It’s very safe!”
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Yu Qingyang waved with a smile.
Go out and call Sun Jian, Qiao Lili and others to go to the bar together.
He hasn't drank for some time.
A group of people took a car and followed Neil Thorndike's guidance to a bar with a very hidden storefront.
