January 16.

Africa.

DRC.

in North Base Province.

A convoy was moving on a pothole-riddled road.

There are two pickups in front and three huge trucks in the back, covered by a light blue tarpaulin, and it is impossible to see what is inside, and these are the engineers of Huawei.

bumpy face.

Everyone is used to it.

Inside the frontmost pickup truck.

"Everyone, be careful, pay attention to the surrounding environment, this is the territory of the warlord Sadok." Xia Yuxing said with the walkie-talkie, his eyes looked out the window vigilantly.

He's the field engineer here.

"If it weren't for the high salary, I would never have come to do such a dangerous job." The young man driving said helplessly.

Upon hearing this.

The people in the back seat quickly agreed.

"That is, after earning a few years of money, I will go back to marry my daughter-in-law, and I will never come to this place again. Unexpectedly, when I arrive here, the only thing that can accompany me to pass the time is actually this pile of "Huawei Access Network Equipment Technical Manual". "

"You should learn from Lao Zhou and have the fun of taking pictures." The young man driving the car laughed.

"If I don't study, I'm not a literary youth."

They use this method to relieve psychological stress.

African business.

It has always been a market that Huawei attaches great importance to.

certainly

different from domestic.

Many African products use domestically eliminated products. When 4G is popularized in China, 3G services in African countries are the mainstream. But now, the 2G network coverage here is not complete.

Just last month.

Huawei won the bid for some communication infrastructure projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to upgrade the domestic network. They cannot use 4G and do not need it. Therefore, it is mainly 3G network construction.

then.

A team of their project was dispatched here.

on the advice of the branch.

The engineering headquarters of North Base Province chose a place that was barely marked on the map. When they heard that there was a mining company in China, they came over happily.

There are Chinese.

They feel very kind.

Been doing business here for so long.

confusion.

Danger.

Be wary.

It has become commonplace. Although the actual situation is not that dangerous, the situation here is indeed not optimistic, especially since they are still occupying the sphere of influence of the armed forces.

The car kept going.

The windows were all rolled up, so as not to be seen and cause unnecessary trouble.

On the way from the capital of Kinsa, they were stopped a dozen times, but the robbers did not encounter them. Most of them were African policemen here.

Not to give is not enough.

Others say that you are overpowering others, what else can you say?

two hours later.

The steel mill was an hour away.

"Someone may be following us." Shali, a young driver, panicked. Their speed is not fast. If they pass by, they will definitely overtake. Now that they have followed for so long, he is really worried.

"Accelerate and see if you can get rid of it." Someone in the back seat suggested.

Shali said helplessly: "We have a truck, so it's useless to accelerate."

"Then what?" the man said nervously.

"Shali, continue to drive. Even if you call the police in this broken place, it will be quick to come in an hour." Xia Yuxing said with a frown. Here, most of the people choose to go to the police station directly.

"Okay." That's all.

Soon.

The car behind accelerated in vain.

Drive alongside them.

I saw the driver over there glanced at them, saw that the glass of the co-pilot could not see through, and accelerated again, and reached the front of the car, seeing that Shali was a Chinese face, and his eyes showed joy.

Shali knew.

It was by no means a friendly greeting to him.

That is the expression of seeing the 'fat sheep'.

"Oops."

Xia Yuxing and the others groaned in their hearts. This is the place of the warlords. If there is something wrong, they can't find anyone to help them. It is impossible for them to fight a war directly for them.

Immediately after.

Their fears were fulfilled.

The African man in the cab took out a gun and yelled at them. He couldn't hear anything for the time being, because the diesel car was closed and the noise was quite loud, but it was definitely related to parking.

"What? They'll shoot." Shali panicked.

Xia Yuxing took a deep breath.

"pull over."

They have African guides, so they shouldn't be stripped and thrown on the side of the road. After all, they are here to build and benefit the local area, which is why their equipment has not been robbed along the way.

"Oh." Shali agreed.

Turn on your right turn signal to signal the car behind you to pull over.

soon.

The cars stopped.

Xia Yuxing and the African guide walked down.

This is the French-speaking area. Xia Yuxing is only an on-site engineer and doesn't speak French yet. However, this African guide is an English-speaking presence and belongs to Huawei's partner employee.

"Ask them what they want to do?" Xia Yuxing said to the guide Fielding.

"it is good."

Fielding communicated with the other party.

"He said our car was too big, too heavy, and crushed the road, and asked us to pay a repair fee of $10,000." Fielding said helplessly, and again, in Saddock's site, he really didn't Tough words.

"You tell them what we're here for."

Of course, Xia Yuxing would not accept it. It was impossible for him to be reimbursed for ten thousand dollars.

"it is good."

Fielding turned his head, pointed at Xia Yuxing and explained.

"They, from Huaxia, came here to build base stations for you, your mobile phones, so that more places can make calls and provide better phone services."

The leader with the gun was called Alec. On the way home, he saw these 'fat sheep' by accident, so he was going to hunt.

"Base station?" Alec wondered.

Fielding nodded vigorously: "Yes, with the base station, more places can make calls."

"Then go to our tribe to repair it, and I will take you there." Alec was happy. Without ten thousand dollars, it would be good to build a base station in the tribe. There is no signal in their tribe at all.

heard.

Fielding's face was bitter.

"This, we have regulations, it can only be repaired in a fixed place. If possible, your tribe will also be within the scope in the future." Today, only the strategy of delaying troops is used.

"That won't work, our tribe has no signal..."

Argued for a few minutes.

Fielding was pointed directly at the head by Alec.

"They insisted that we go to their tribe to repair the base station." Fielding has already scolded this idiot in his heart, can you use your brain, can the base station be repaired casually?

"How is this possible." Xia Yuxing kept shaking his head.

No plan.

How can it be repaired for you, and there is no optical cable, it is useless to go to your tribe to repair a base station, that is an iron shelf.

"You tell him no." Xia Yuxing said.

After negotiating again to no avail, Alec's attitude was very tough, and Fielding said helplessly: "He said we must go. His father is the leader of the tribe, and he wants to go back as a birthday present."

Xia Yuxing: "..."

Do you have a birthday yet? What counts as a day.

"it's out of the question."

"He doesn't do it."

"I..."

Xia Yuxing wanted to scold people very much, but he didn't dare. He didn't dare to say harsh words in a foreign country, not to mention that people still have guns. When a scholar encounters a soldier, he is talking about the current situation.

After a few minutes.

Just when the two sides were at a standoff.

Two pickups are coming from the front.

see them.

A quick stop.

Several strong black men stepped out of the car.

Xia Yuxing couldn't help but take a step back. These guys looked even more difficult to mess with, because when they saw them, Alec and the others all looked like good babies, with good smiles.

"What are you doing?" the big black man at the head said loudly.

Alec said quickly: "Wesley, I am going to let them build a base station in our tribe, so that there is a mobile phone signal, and then let them go to your tribe to build one."

Wesley looked at Xia Yuxing and asked in English, "Where are you going?"

"A steel factory." Xia Yuxing said.

Wesley's face changed.

"Steel mill? What's it called?"

"It seems to be called... Wanqing Steel." Xia Yuxing replied.

hear the name.

Wesley turned his head silently.

A slap slapped Alec.

'Snapped. . . ’

Alec was slapped with gold stars in his eyes and almost lost his footing.

Wesley roared: "You really need to clean up, don't you, anyone dares to steal anything."

"I... I don't know if it's from that steel factory." Alec covered his face and shouted injustice, you know, how far he will go, and what happened today will go home, and his father will beat himself.

"You know now?" Wesley said coldly.

"I know, I know." Alec kept nodding.

"Fuck off," Wesley said impatiently.

"Yes Yes Yes.."

How dare Alec stop.

Get in the car, kick the accelerator and leave.

Strictly speaking, this steel plant should be called a mining area. It has already become a place that almost no one in the area knows about, because people have cooperative relations with the surrounding tribes dozens of kilometers away.

you have mine.

No matter what, I want to dig it out.

There are no mines.

Natural resources also do.

I'll help you find a way to sell it.

In the past, the mines here could hardly be transported out, because there were no railways, and the roads were messy, so they could only rely on the sky. The industrialization of Sadok could not digest so many resources.

that's it.

The mining area has established extensive cooperative relations with various tribes.

In particular, a few large tribes have become the main suppliers of the steel plant in the future. Coal, steel, copper, and other metals are also received as ordered, and related smelters will be expanded later.

So ever.

this steel mill.

Has a huge local influence.

They are all waiting for the factory to start, and they are waiting to make money.

Alec steals people's things,

was beaten.

Also deserve it.

Xia Yuxing stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded.

what to do.

How did you and yourselves fight?

"Don't be nervous, since you are a friend of Wanqing Iron and Steel, it is our friend. If anyone dares to bully you in this world, we will not agree." Wesley said to Xia Yuxing with a smile.

He is the eldest grandson of the chief elder of the tribe who was bombed by the soldiers in front of several warehouses.

He knows.

Much more than the average person.

Partnerships are part of it.

Can't afford to offend.

That's the main reason.

"Thank you." Xia Yuxing thanked.

"You're welcome, let's go, I'll take you there myself, it'll be there soon." Wesley said enthusiastically.

"thanks."

Xia Yuxing laughed dryly.

So far, he still can't believe what happened just now. Will Wesley take them somewhere, and then snatch them away and enter the wolf's den again?

And just when Xia Yuxing was tangled.

"Drip."

A very harsh car horn came from behind.

Xia Yuxing turned to look.

terrified.

car.

Lots of cars.

At least 20 American military Hummers, with black body, white profile tires, and a shield-like logo printed on the front cover and door, look mighty and domineering.

Wouldn't it be the warlord's armed forces under Sadok?

Just when Xia Yuxing was worried.

The co-pilot of the first car walked off.

Asian?

Or an Asian in a black and white security uniform.

see that person.

Wesley walked up with a grin.

"Captain Chu, pick up someone again." Wesley looked at the team behind him enviously and wanted to drive, but he was rejected every time, no matter how good the relationship was, saying it was the company's regulations.

"Well, what are you doing? Robbery?" Chu Sheng frowned.

Today, he went to the airport to pick up a group of "neighbors" engineers and new colleagues from the company. He heard that a chemical plant will be built near the mining area.

This is not.

Eighty security guards were dispatched from the country. From this point of view, it looked like a robbery.

As soon as I heard Chu Sheng say that he robbed.

Wesley shook his head quickly and clarified.

"No, no, we stopped a robbery just now. They wanted to rob this group of Chinese. I drove them away and was about to take them to your steel factory. These should be yours."

"That's it." Chu Sheng nodded.

this place.

No one dared to steal their stuff.

Came here last April.

Nine months have passed, nine months, he has thoroughly seen the company's "strong background", not to mention walking sideways, but absolutely no one came to bully them, just as He Liang said at the beginning.

Don't cause trouble.

Don't be afraid.

And this time.

As the vice president of the branch, He Liang, who was still reporting with newcomers, also came, but he was tired and fell asleep in the back of the car. It's been a long time, so he recharged his energy and prepared to have a good drink later.

Chu Sheng walked to Xia Yuxing's side.

"Hello, what did you give?"

"No, we are employees of Huawei, and we are going to repair the base station here. The company asked us to go to your steel plant, hoping to get help." Xia Yuxing quickly expressed his intention.

hear this.

Chu Sheng understood that it wasn't to send something to their factory.

"Well, then get in the car, follow our team, I will take you there, I am the security department of the steel plant, my name is Chu Sheng, remember, don't let your people take pictures." Chu Sheng emphasized.

"Understood, I will tell them, my name is Xia Yuxing, it's a pleasure to meet." Xia Yuxing introduced himself.

"Well, I'll follow you later." Chu Sheng smiled and nodded.

"okay."

Chu Sheng said to Wesley again: "You can do your own business. They handed it over to me. Thank you for the things just now."

"You're welcome, that stinky boy. Next time I see him, I'll take care of him. I don't have any eyesight." Wesley waved his fist.

"I'll invite you to drink next time." Chu Sheng and Wesley were also quite familiar.

Wesley slaps his mouth.

"Haha, okay, I still want to eat hot pot."

"Okay, no problem." Chu Sheng agreed.

hot pot.

Elsewhere in Africa he was not sure.

But they are.

You can eat what you want.

Subsequently.

The huge fleet started again.
