Chapter 485: Coming to Africa 2 (seeking the moon)
After resting one night in the hotel, Yu Qingyang treated everyone to a sumptuous buffet dinner.
All kinds of seafood, crabs as big as basins, lobsters as long as an adult's arm, whole roasted lamb, roasted beef, roasted camel tubes, beer, white wine, red wine to drink.
Today is the day. When we arrive at the base, we can still eat seafood, beef, sheep and camel meat freely, but we cannot drink wine.
After the panic, there was excitement. The result of the excitement was that except for the five hundred veterans who remained vigilant, everyone else was drunk and carried back to the room.
The next day, escorted by four armed off-road vehicles, Yu Qingyang and his party arrived at the base after seven or eight hours of trekking.
The production and living base of the artificial lake project and the base of the oil town are not in the same place.
Instead, Zhao Xinlei had already built a base for them in a gentle area on the hillside.
Just waiting to check in, the conditions are much better than when they first arrived last year.
A concrete road was also built between the two bases.
It can ensure that various materials can be successfully delivered to the artificial lake project base.
The bus drives directly to the yard of the artificial lake base.
Tian Mingxi, the chief engineer of the construction site in the oil town, was already waiting in the yard with his people.
The fellow villager burst into tears when he saw the fellow villager.
The workers Tian Mingxi brought to help were very enthusiastic and rushed forward to help carry the luggage.
Show them the place, help them make their beds, ask them about the situation at home, and tell them some ideas and matters in Africa.
In fact, many ideas and matters have been discussed more than once during domestic training.
However, the Chinese workers in the oil town project still explained to them enthusiastically.
The list of people coming to Ajigeria this time has already been sent here, and Zhao Xinlei has also assigned rooms to them according to the list.
There are four master craftsmen and fresh graduates in one room.
Project department management personnel (technical backbone, construction workers) share a room with two people.
Came as a couple and shared a room.
The project leadership team such as the project manager, chief technical engineer, and construction director are in one room.
All rooms have air conditioning and the accommodation conditions are very good.
Electricity is still generated by generator sets, but who made diesel fuel cheaper here? After all, it is not much more expensive than domestic electricity.
People from the artificial lake project department were busy looking for dormitories and making beds and clothes.
Veterans from the security company lined up, waiting to receive their weapons.
Zhang Qiang is still very reliable in his work. With a thousand sets of individual equipment and one hundred and twenty military Humvees, he almost arrived at the base with Yu Qingyang and others.
Yu Qingyang took Xu Yanhua and Zhang Qiang to hand over the equipment.
"Lao Zhang, when will the armed helicopter arrive?"
"Mr. Yu, the armed helicopter has been shipped and will arrive in a few days!"
"When the time comes, send it directly to the cement factory!"
"Okay, no problem! By the way, Mr. Yu, I just heard some news today!"
"What news?"
“Ajigeria is preparing to build a sea-ring highway!
Connect coastal cities!
In addition, the port of Geographic Glass is also preparing to be expanded and upgraded!" Zhang Qiang told Yu Qingyang the news he had learned.
Zhang Qiang has been in Africa for several years and is familiar with people in all aspects and is well-informed.
"Should Ajigeria provide the money itself, or should it look for investors?"
"The Ajigerian government pays for itself. In fact, Ajigeria is not short of money..."
Ajigeria is one of the most developed and wealthy countries in Africa.
Just selling oil can earn a large amount of US dollars every year.
The Ajigerian government publicizes that the per capita income of the Ajigerian people exceeds 10,000 US dollars.
Based on the U.S. dollars Ajigeria gets from selling oil, it is true that the per capita income can exceed 10,000 U.S. dollars.
However, the vast majority of Ajigerian people are represented.
The biggest problem in African countries is the serious polarization between rich and poor, which is even more serious than that in Western capitalist countries such as the United States.
The poor in Africa can only eat dirt, and cannot even drink the water from smelly rivers and ditches.
He was so rich that he drove a sports car, lived in a mansion, had more than a dozen wives, and countless servants and slaves.
The swimming pool uses pure water.
Yu Qingyang doesn't care about the gap between rich and poor in Africa. What he cares about now is whether he has the opportunity to participate in the construction of sea-ring highways and ports.
"How are they going to operate it? Will they commission the construction or conduct an international tender?"
"I heard it from one of Lao Ka's attendants today. The details haven't been decided yet!"
"Well, then please help me pay attention and tell me if there is any news!
I'm also looking for connections here!" Yu Qingyang patted Zhang Qiang on the shoulder, "If these two projects can be won, your benefits will be indispensable!"
"Mr. Yu, it depends on what you said! You have taken good care of me!
I just want to help you find out the news!" Zhang Qiang said with a smile on his face.
Zhang Qiang traveled thousands of miles to Africa with a simple purpose, which was to make money.
Therefore, Yu Qingyang did not try to deal with him, but directly promised benefits.
All kinds of purchases on the project are also handed over to Zhang Qiang, letting him earn the price difference.
After sending Zhang Qiang away, Yu Qingyang turned around and nodded from Xu Yanhua.
"Change your clothes!" Xu Yanhua, who couldn't wait for a long time, ordered loudly.
Xu Yanhua gave the order, and more than 500 people moved quickly and began to change their individual equipment.
The scene was so spectacular that even the workers who were busy setting up couldn't help but stand still and watch the security personnel quickly change their clothes.
Camouflage uniforms, military boots, helmets, gloves, rifles, pistols, sabers, grenades, body armor, electronic information equipment, sights, and night vision devices are all worn on the upper body.
His demeanor suddenly changed, from a simple and honest boy next door to a fierce warrior.
The few dozen female employees looked at it with stars in their eyes. Those who had boyfriends were dragged away by their boyfriends.
The few remaining female employees stood there, unable to move even as they watched.
"Lao Xu, are these equipment okay?" Yu Qingyang picked up an M 1911 pistol, checked it, and confirmed that there were no bullets in it, and played with it in his hand.
"Yes, that's great! The weapons of the United States are indeed good. Of course, the individual equipment of our country's special forces is not bad either!" Xu Yanhua also held an M16A2 automatic rifle in his hand and said with a smile.
"Lao Xu, I see that our brothers are quite skilled in their movements, right?
Have you ever come into contact with American individual equipment before?" Yu Qingyang asked doubtfully.
"The key to war is to know yourself and the enemy. In order to prepare for a possible war, we have studied all the individual equipment in the world! Among them, American individual equipment has been studied the most!" Xu Yanhua hesitated before speaking.
Sure enough, these are no ordinary veterans.
However, Yu Qingyang did not continue to ask.
"You can't rest yet. One squadron will be left here, and the others will be transferred to the cement factory!"
After discussion, Zhen Long and Xu Yanhua divided the security company into five brigades, ten squadrons, and fifty squads.
There are ten people in each squad, fifty people in each squadron, and one hundred people in each group.
Ten sergeants serve as squadron leaders, and the squad leaders below select their original squad leaders.
Yu Qingyang didn't care how to distribute it, letting them make their own arrangements.
There is a squadron at the project base here, and fifty people are responsible for security, which is enough.
The focus is still on the cement factory.
The closer Africa is to urban areas, the more dangerous it is, and these dangers mainly come from hungry and poor humans.
In the desolate and inhabited Gobi and deserts, the dangers from nature are not so scary.
"Yes!" Xu Yanhua stood at attention and replied.
"Dong Changxia, you take your squadron and stay behind to be responsible for the security of the base!
Everyone else, all of them, stand at attention!
Target, armed off-road vehicles, one vehicle for each team. Bring extra individual equipment and get on board!" Xu Yanhua gave the order simply.
Since he had already purchased a full set of American individual equipment, he was naturally not short of money. Yu Qingyang purchased a hundred military Humvees in one go, as well as twenty command vehicles.
Even though there are so many military Humvees and command vehicles, they are actually not expensive.
In total, it is not as expensive as those individual soldier equipment.
A military Humvee only costs over 50,000 US dollars, a command vehicle is more expensive, and a set of individual equipment costs close to 10,000 US dollars.
In other words, these equipment, including vehicles and individual equipment, cost Yu Qingyang more than 20 million US dollars.
Is it worth the money spent?
Definitely worth it!
The annual net profit of the cement factory alone exceeds 10 billion yuan, more than one billion U.S. dollars. Adding the output value of the brick factory, cement products factory, and stone factory, the annual net profit is more than 2 billion U.S. dollars.
Do you think it’s worth it?
Xu Yanhua arranged for people to get on the bus, and Dong Changxia took people to take over the security of the base and set up sentry areas.
Everything was so fast and orderly.
Yu Qingyang felt that the money was well spent!
"Old Zhang, please make arrangements for the brothers. If you have any questions, please contact Lao Zhao and Lao Tian!
I took them to the cement factory!" Yu Qingyang called Zhang Zexian over and explained.
"Mr. Yu, don't worry! Mr. Zhao and Mr. Tian are taking care of us here. There will be no problem!"
Once they have settled in, I will hold a meeting for them!
There will be a flag-raising ceremony tomorrow morning!"
"Yeah! Very good. If you don't understand anything, just ask Lao Zhao and Lao Tian!" Seeing that Zhang Zexian knew what to do, Yu Qingyang nodded with satisfaction.
"Lao Xu, are you going to get into the command vehicle or follow me into the RV?"
"Mr. Yu, I'd better get in the command vehicle! Your RV is too high-end and I'm not used to it!" Xu Yanhua said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go!" Yu Qingyang greeted Angela and walked into the RV, which she had never done before.
Yu Qingyang gave the RV that Mu En gave him to Xia Xue, and later gave it to Zhao Xinlei after returning to China.
Zhao Xinlei knew that Yu Qingyang would come back, so he only asked people to take good care of it and did not use it.
After driving around for half a year, Yu Qingyang has just used an RV for the first time.
Sun Jian and his team of six are responsible for Yu Qingyang's security.
Luxurious RVs drove out of the base surrounded by military Humvees.
"Angela, how are you? Are the security personnel I'm looking for okay?" Yu Qingyang asked with a smile while sitting on the soft sofa, enjoying delicious coffee.
"Boss, you said, give me the whole of Africa?"
"Yes! You will be responsible for all the building materials business in Africa!" Yu Qingyang nodded affirmatively.
"Thank you boss for your trust! With this armed force, I will definitely build a building materials empire for boss and dominate the entire Africa!" Angela said very confidently.
Angela is still unmarried in her forties and is a career-oriented woman. In her eyes, nothing is more important than her career.
"I believe in you and I'm waiting for your building materials empire!
If that day comes, Angela, as long as you don't leave, you will always be the prime minister of this building materials empire!" Yu Qingyang also made a promise.
In the future, no country in Africa will be China's opponent in the field of infrastructure construction.
