How many hours does it take to get from the artificial lake base to the cement factory?
Along Highway 78, when approaching Butitatan, a group of buildings appeared on the ground.
The blue and white fence is three meters high, and there is an iron caltrop protective net on the top of the fence.
If this were in the country, it would definitely be mistaken for a prison or a detention center.
A little further forward, there is a tall gate with Chinese characteristics. The tall gate tower is enough to accommodate the entry and exit of various construction machinery.
There were two security guards holding guns and wearing camouflage uniforms standing guard at the door.
There are two tall watchtowers behind the gate, and there are also two security guards with guns on the watchtowers.
Just looking at the door, it looks a bit like a military institution.
No, just look at the bilingual plaque in Chinese and Arabic at the door.
This is the company headquarters of Huaihai (Butitatan) Building Materials Co., Ltd.
It is also the location of a cement factory, a new energy-saving brick factory, and a cement products factory.
Compared with the solemn gate, what attracts more attention is the stall on Route 78.
The nearby residents spontaneously formed a market on the road outside the company's premises.
Many people from nearby cities or tribes come here to set up stalls and sell things.
Who says Africans can’t do business and don’t have business acumen?
It's just that they don't have the resources and lack the channels to do business.
Look at these at the door. There are stalls selling fruits, vegetables, and selling cattle, sheep, and camels.
Yu Qingyang also saw some tattered tents on the roadside, barely blocking the view.
There were some black women in cool clothes standing at the door of the tent, which is really rare to see in the Arab world.
However, considering that the south is mainly dominated by Berber tribes and is closer to Western countries, it is not surprising.
There are also many people gathered together and lying lazily on the roadside. These people are waiting for the factory to recruit workers.
Of course, there are also some thugs inside, intercepting vehicles entering and exiting and demanding money.
One hundred and twenty armed off-road vehicles are still very shocking and majestic.
People doing business on the road and people waiting for work on the roadside took shelter one after another.
The guard at the gate had already noticed the motorcade coming on Route 78.
Those standing guard were the first batch of Chinese security team members.
Nervously, he alerted the company's security team through the intercom.
When he was approaching the door, Ou Yang, who was driving, picked up the intercom and shouted a few words.
The military Hummer clearing the way moved to both sides to make way for Yu Qingyang's RV.
Ou Yang asked the convoy to give up the passage for a very clear purpose, which was to show his identity.
It would be a joke if something happened in front of his company and the two sides exchanged fire.
The guards didn't know the military Hummer, but they all knew Yu Qingyang's RV.
Get to know the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind on the RV.
Seeing Yu Qingyang's RV, the guard let out a sigh of relief. He first used the intercom to report the situation and cleared the alarm. Then he stood at attention and saluted the RV.
"Angela, you did a great job! I'm very satisfied!" Looking at the changes outside the car through the monitor, Yu Qingyang gave Angela a thumbs up with satisfaction and praised fiercely.
"Thank you boss! This is what I should do!"
"You did better than I imagined!
It’s hard to imagine that I have just returned to China for three months and earth-shaking changes have already taken place here!
This is what I want, a garden factory!
Angela, you did a great job!" Yu Qingyang praised without hesitation.
When Yu Qingyang first bought this land, it was full of weeds as tall as a person. Later, he arranged for excavators and bulldozers to clear away the weeds.
However, when Yu Qingyang left, except for the construction site under construction, everything he could see was the reddish-brown Gobi Desert.
Nowadays, except for factories, office buildings, dormitories, towering chimneys, and factory roads, all other places are filled with plants with local characteristics.
There is a row of tall date palm trees on the roadside, and there are clumps of low unknown green shrubs.
This is an oasis in the desert, and it is also Yu Qingyang’s ideal garden-style factory.
"So many green plants, Angela, how did you do it?"
"In order to solve the water problem for greening, we specially purchased seawater desalination equipment! This is included in the financial statement!"
"I saw it, you did a good job! We have a saying in China, which is that if you are outside, you will not accept your orders!
This means that you are in charge of the building materials company, and you know best what needs to be done!
As long as the purpose is for the benefit of the company, you can make the decision!"
The biggest difference between Chinese and people from Western countries when doing things is that the Chinese are accustomed to asking for instructions on everything, even if it is within their own scope of authority, they are accustomed to asking their leaders for instructions first.
But people in Western countries are different. As long as the law clearly stipulates and the employment contract stipulates that things are within their scope of authority, they will directly make decisions and exercise their own rights.
Of course, there will definitely be relevant reports and expense statements to be submitted to superiors afterwards.
For example, if it is the purchase of desalination equipment, if it is another domestic subsidiary, it will definitely file a report and apply in advance, instead of first considering whether you, as the legal representative of the subsidiary, have the right to make the decision.
As the CEO of a building materials company, Angela made the decision to launch seawater desalination equipment directly within her own authority.
When talking about seawater desalination equipment, it is actually a general term. In fact, what is desalinated is not real seawater.
It is the groundwater in factories and the entire coastline of Libya that has caused seawater intrusion due to over-exploitation of groundwater.
As a result, the land near the coastline has become seriously salinized, and the groundwater has turned into bitter water due to seawater intrusion.
Brackish water refers to water with alkalinity greater than hardness, and contains a large amount of neutral salt. Water with a pH value greater than 7 has a bitter taste and is difficult to drink directly. Long-term drinking can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and low immunity.
In many coastal areas in China, the groundwater is also brackish water.
In fact, brackish water can be seen as seawater formed after natural filtration by the soil.
Therefore, the desalination of brackish water is much less expensive than seawater desalination.
While talking, the RV drove to the door of the company.
"Ou Yang, stop the car!" Yu Qingyang ordered Ou Yang, who was driving in front.
"Angela, why don't we get out of the car and enjoy the scenery of the factory?" Yu Qingyang invited Angela with a smile.
"Okay! I really like walking around the factory after work!" The boss invited, and Angela naturally agreed happily.
Yu Qingyang opened the door and got out of the car.
"Salute! Hello, Mr. Yu!" At this time, a factory patrol team had arrived at the factory gate. When they saw Yu Qingyang, they stood at attention and said hello loudly.
"Good job, comrades! They are all good. Although they are a lot darker, they are more energetic and stronger!" Yu Qingyang hammered the patrol team leader on the chest and said with a smile.
"Serve the people!" the patrol yelled habitually.
"Haha!" Yu Qingyang patted the squad leader hard on the shoulder.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the executive vice president of Huayu International Security Company and the head of the African branch!
All your organizational relationships will be transferred to Huayu International Security Company from now on!
Say hello to your leader!"
"Hello, comrades!" Xu Yanhua stepped forward and said hello loudly.
"Hello, Chief!"
"Good job, comrades!"
"Serve the people!"
This is the official answer!
Soldiers have a kind of telepathy with soldiers. They can know the other person's former military identity with just one stance, one movement, and one look.
"Old Xu, they are all veterans of the Eighth Company of the Lanzhou Military Region!" Yu Qingyang introduced to Xu Yanhua again.
"Eighth Company?" Xu Yanhua said with an moved expression on his face.
"Yes, they are all soldiers of the Eighth Company!" Yu Qingyang nodded and smiled.
There are many Eighth Companies in the Lanzhou Military Region, but if you go out of the Lanzhou Military Region and dare to say directly to the outside world that I belong to the Eighth Company, there is only one unit.
That was the predecessor of the Night Tigers, the current Sirius Commando, and the Eighth Special Operations Company of the Old Xuefeng Regiment.
"Hello!" Xu Yanhua's attitude suddenly became more formal.
Xu Yanhua always thought that they were very powerful and came from the special forces, but he did not expect to meet someone even more powerful.
Even if they are just ordinary soldiers, they still deserve respect.
China's special forces are also divided into three, six and nine levels. Large military regions have special operations forces, small military regions also have special operations forces, and even some divisions have their own special operations teams.
"Okay, stop blocking the door and go back to the factory to communicate slowly!" Yu Qingyang interrupted the two parties who were preparing for further communication.
There were so many people, fully armed, blocking the door, which was very eye-catching.
After Yu Qingyang finished speaking, he took Angela and Sun Jian's security team into the factory area first.
This section of road was originally built by the British for the mining area, and the standards are very high.
After Yu Qingyang took over, he made ten centimeters of asphalt concrete on top, and the sidewalks on both sides of the road were paved with colored permeable bricks.
Permeable bricks are also produced by the brick factory itself.
Coupled with the tall date palm trees on the roadside, the originally spacious concrete road became tidier.
Walking on the spacious and clean main road of the factory area, looking at the shrubs and buildings on both sides of the road, Yu Qingyang felt full of pride.
In just half a year, he changed this place drastically. This is the power of capital and the wisdom of the Chinese people.
Arriving at the office area, Yu Qingyang waved his hand, and the two hundred villas that had just been built but had not yet been allocated became the residence of Huayu International Security Company.
As for other people's opinions, leave them alone.
Yu Qingyang made it very clear, without a security company, would you be in the mood to work here? Let alone enjoy the villa.
After the allocation, Yu Qingyang took Xu Yanhua to check out the receiving villa group.
“Mr. Yu, these villas are well built and have complete living facilities!
However, if it is to be used as our base, we need to add some necessary military training venues!" Xu Yanhua looked around and found Yu Qingyang.
"Well, let me enclose another piece of land for you around the villa group. Whatever needs to be done, you can propose a plan and let Guo Peiyu build it according to your plan!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
You have already bought tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment, are you still afraid of spending millions more to build a training venue?
The biggest advantage of this factory is that it has enough space.
On the land of more than 100 square kilometers, there are 90 square kilometers of barren mountains and more than 10 square kilometers of flat land.
