King of Industry

In the meeting room, Zhao Guoyang relieved Lin Tianhai's worries about the future with a few words, and even got a good deal.

His performance made several bigwigs in the Chinese embassy in Ethiopia look sideways.

If these bigwigs still had doubts about Zhao Guoyang's ability when they first met, after this encounter, these doubts have long been thrown out of the sky.

Next, everyone talked about the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in Ethiopia.

Zhao Guoyang asked Tang Xiaolin: Counselor Tang, I wonder if you are familiar with the large farms near the capital of Ethiopia? Our 'Xingtai International' has brought a batch of agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment, and we want to go to the nearby large farms and farmers Let's chat casually...

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Tang Xiaolin smiled for a while: Researcher Zhao, it seems that you have made sufficient preparations for coming here this time. You know that Ethiopia is in short supply of agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment?

Zhao Guoyang shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: It's just to be prepared. Except for South Africa and Nigeria, most countries in Africa have less developed industries, and agriculture and breeding have become their only hope.

I think Ethiopia is no exception, right?

After Zhao Guoyang said these sincere words, several leaders in the conference room nodded appreciatively.

Obviously, this researcher Zhao's thinking is absolutely clear and correct.

After Zhao Guoyang talked eloquently, several other companies in the trade and investment promotion group also talked about their business needs in Ethiopia.

Ji Ping, the boss of a textile company from Jiangnan Province, made a request to Jiang Longsheng, asking her to help send the textiles she brought over as gifts to some dignitaries in Ethiopia.

Jiang Longsheng naturally agreed to Ji Ping's request.

Due to the sluggish domestic economy, some officials of the Ethiopian government do not earn very high incomes, and at most they barely make ends meet.

In order to live better, these officials accept gifts from others in private, which is a common thing.

This phenomenon is very common in Ethiopia, and it is also a matter of convention among government officials.

As long as the gift is not too expensive, it is not a problem for government officials to accept it.

The full name of the enterprise controlled by Ji Ping is the No. 1 Textile Factory in Xishan City, Jiangnan Province. It is one of the more famous textile enterprises in Jiangnan Province.

The amount of textile products he brought over this time is a lot, probably a ton.

Among the entire delegation, it was second only to Zhao Guoyang in terms of weight.

At this time, after hearing Ji Ping said that he would give a gift, Bao Anjun couldn't help laughing and said: Mr. Ji, you must not forget the staff of our Chinese embassy in Ethiopia when you give a gift.

All year long, everyone is blowing in the wind and sand, and clothes are easily damaged...

After Director Bao finished speaking, there was a burst of joyful laughter in the conference room.

In fact, when this kind of official trade and investment promotion missions go to various countries, they will always bring some special products and small gifts to the local embassy staff.

After all, embassy staff are not allowed to return to their home countries all year round, and sometimes they can only rely on these visiting groups if they want to eat specialties from their hometown.

After the two-hour meeting, Ambassador Jiang Longsheng entertained the delegation in the restaurant of the embassy.

Although the variety of Ethiopian food is limited, several ingredients are still very distinctive. Teff is a kind of grain unique to this country.

The very famous food Injila in Ethiopia is made from teff flour.

This thing is similar to Chinese pancakes. It is usually served on a plate with some meat, vegetables and sauces on it, and you pick up Injila with your hands to wrap the meat and vegetables to eat.

Zhao Guoyang was almost full after eating two Injira.

As the host, Jiang Longsheng saw that Zhao Guoyang had stopped quickly, so he asked with a smile, Researcher Zhao, are you not used to the food here?

No! Zhao Guoyang waved his hands again and again, Ambassador Jiang, my appetite has always been like this!

Jiang Longsheng nodded suspiciously, and did not continue to ask.

Obviously, in the eyes of Ambassador Jiang, Zhao Guoyang, a young man, should eat a lot.

Seeing his appearance, Bao Anjun smiled and explained to Zhao Guoyang: Ambassador Jiang, Researcher Zhao is really not polite. He only ate a little when he was on the plane...

After hearing Director Bao's explanation, Jiang Longsheng laughed in relief.

After eating in the restaurant, Jiang Longsheng personally led the delegation to the reception of the embassy.

Cao Depei, Yuan Yunhai, and Tang Xiaolin each went to work on other tasks.

As for Senior Colonel Wei Minghui, he naturally went down to inspect the security defense.

After all, the level of the delegation is not low this time, and safety must be the first priority.

Jiang Longsheng didn't leave until the delegation had settled down.

The rooms at the reception desk of the embassy are still relatively ample, and there is no problem at all for one person.

Bao Anjun, Zhao Guoyang, and Zhang Zheke, the three heads of the delegation, were assigned to the big room on the third floor. The rest lived in the middle rooms downstairs.

There is a small living room in the large room, which is the difference between the large room and the medium room.

After returning to the room and washing up, Zhao Guoyang fell into a deep sleep without thinking about it.

...

The next morning, Zhao Guoyang was awakened by a knock on the door.

He put on his clothes in a daze and opened the door, only to see Zhang Yufang standing outside the door fully dressed.

Ah, Teacher Zhang? Why is it so early? Seeing the sun just rising, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help asking.

It's getting late, Mr. Zhao.

Zhang Yufang pursed her lips and said with a smile, Counselor Tang has come to me just now and said that he will leave on time at ten o'clock and go to a farm owned by a Chinese in Rwanda.

Huh? There are already Chinese people who have opened a farm here? It's earlier than I thought... Zhao Guoyang touched his chin and muttered.

In the memory of previous lives, Ethiopia, the so-called most Chinese East African country, is one of the first countries to try out production capacity cooperation in Africa.

The country also regards attracting foreign investment and vigorously promoting the industrialization process as an important national policy, attracting a large number of Chinese-funded enterprises to invest here.

It's just that Zhao Guoyang didn't expect this investment craze to start so early.

Of course, with a farm run by Chinese people, it would be more convenient to sell products. Zhao Guoyang was naturally satisfied with this.

After a brief wash, Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang went downstairs together.

In the open space downstairs, Tang Xiaolin was already sitting in a jeep waiting for the two of them.

Seeing the young man sitting upright in the driver's seat of the jeep, Zhao Guoyang knew that the other party must be someone sent by the military attache's office.

Researcher Zhao, Teacher Zhang, are we leaving now? Tang Xiaolin asked with a smile when she saw that the two were sitting in the back row.

Okay, Counselor Tang, I'm sorry to trouble you! Zhao Guoyang and Tang Xiaolin said politely.

On the way, after talking with Tang Xiaolin, Zhao Guoyang found out that Bao Anjun and Zhang Zheke, accompanied by Jiang Longsheng and Yuan Yunhai, had visited the Ethiopian government.

Lin Tianhai followed Cao Depei to investigate an oil mining company in Ethiopia.

Knowing where everyone is going, Zhao Guoyang nodded in relief and said: Well, everyone will act separately, and the efficiency will be much higher. I estimate that the entire trip to Ethiopia should be over in two days!

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, Tang Xiaolin couldn't help turning her head and laughing: Researcher Zhao, why don't you like this place so much? You just wanted to leave when you came here?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang quickly explained: Counselor Tang, you have misunderstood. I want to end my trip to Ethiopia as soon as possible because I will be in Nigeria on the 20th, and there will be a West Africa International Construction Machinery and Mining Machinery Exhibition to be held.

Seeing that it's already the 17th, if you don't get there sooner, you might miss this exhibition!

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Tang Xiaolin suddenly nodded and said, Ah, so that's what happened.

Researcher Zhao, don't worry. Director Bao has informed Ambassador Jiang of your team's itinerary. You will take a chartered flight to Nigeria the morning after tomorrow at the latest.

After listening to Tang Xiaolin's explanation, Zhao Guoyang was slightly relieved.

For him, this Trip to Africa ​​should be classified according to the priorities, the West Africa International Construction Machinery and Mining Machinery Exhibition is naturally the most important.

This exhibition, sponsored by Messe Munich and co-organized by Afsett Montgomery Exhibition Company, attracts the world's most famous manufacturers of construction machinery and mining machinery to participate in the exhibition every year.

It not only provides trade opportunities for businessmen and buyers in West Africa, but also builds a professional platform for industry exchanges. It is the most important construction machinery exhibition in West Africa.

Many countries in Africa have large reserves of mineral resources.

However, due to the impression of factors such as economy and industrial level, the extractive industry of most countries on the African continent is still in its infancy.

In these countries, the demand for construction machinery and mining machinery and equipment is generally very high.

If the SMS-GKT-MD series mine hoist and the small excavator SMS120H-1 BE can successfully attract everyone's attention at this exhibition, Zhao Guoyang believes that his SMS company must be able to enter the African market. occupy a place.

Just when Zhao Guoyang was thinking to himself, Tang Xiaolin said abruptly: Hey, isn't that a car from the island country in front? There seems to be a small harvester on it?

Following Tang Xiaolin's voice, Zhao Guoyang saw a Kubota brand harvester loaded behind the Toyota truck in front at a glance.
