Chapter 1164 This Is a Problem

Fan Wubing did not stay in Cairo for long. After looking at the Sphinx, he looked at the Egyptian Museum. They continued to fly south together, and officially set foot on the continent of Africa.

Fan Wubing's goal is West Africa, not for anything else. It is because according to his understanding, there are large iron mines here.

In fact, for Chinese people, it is very difficult to truly connect with the international community and participate in the international game of interests. Some domestic experts talk about buying China's foreign exchange reserves into strategic resource reserves. It is nothing but talk on paper.

For example, if you want to invest in West Africa, even though Fan Wubing has a lot of money in his hands, you still need someone to introduce you, otherwise it will be difficult to gain the trust of the locals.

This time he came here, he also took advantage of the family power of the French and Germans he had cooperated with before. He introduced his local tribal king to each other. There had been some communication before, and both sides had a full understanding of each other. Only then did he take this opportunity to set foot on the continent of Africa.

The two families that cooperated with Fan Wubing had colonized Africa for many years. Although they were no longer in Africa, they had no problem introducing a cooperative relationship to Fan Wubing. At the same time, these two families also had a certain control over the smelting industry in Europe and had extensive connections in Africa. They needed the Chinese market and Chinese capital. Therefore, when Fan Wubing revealed his intention to invest in African mining, the other party expressed his friendliness enthusiastically and arranged this trip to Africa for him.

Fan Wubing and others did not know much about West Africa. In their impression, it should be a relatively poor and backward place like the natives. If you generously throw down a dozen breads, hundreds of poor people will come to grab them.

But when they arrived at their destination, the scene in front of them still surprised them. Fan Wubing's first feeling was, is this Africa?

Not only are the roads here wide and clean, the houses are beautiful and unique, and the environment is clean and beautiful, but what surprised them the most is that the taxis here are all Mercedes-Benz, which is completely like the most developed countries in the West, which is completely different from the suffering, famine and war in their minds.

"Oh my god! Is this Africa?" Fan Wubing couldn't help but swear repeatedly, obviously feeling very unbalanced.

Although the reporters from CCTV and Phoenix TV were also a little surprised, they were very adaptable. After all, they were a group of people who went abroad every day. They were already very calm.

"In fact, there are often some introductions about the situation in Africa in Hong Kong TV programs. This scene is also often seen. Africa is a large area, and the differences between countries are also very large. Some are like heaven, and some are like hell, so Mr. Fan, your feelings will be very different. A reporter from Phoenix TV explained to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing turned his head and asked the CCTV reporter, "I think CCTV has never let go of this kind of footage, right? When African people are being promoted, they always look like they are in dire straits.

The CCTV reporter smiled and said to Fan Wubing. "This is also normal, Mr. Fan, think about it. The African countries that were willing to establish diplomatic relations with us at the beginning were basically poor countries, so the domestic propaganda about Africa was mainly about them. After so many years, we have become accustomed to it. And these countries have been fighting and killing for decades, and there has been almost no improvement, so now they still look poor and distressed. As for these rich countries, their relationship with us is dispensable, and they are not very interested in us, so of course they don't report much."

Fan Wubing nodded, thinking that this reason is reasonable, but he thought about it. It seems that this reporter has another problem that he didn't point out, that is, the relationship between China and African countries is based on foreign aid. So when reporting, it is always linked to aid.

If everyone sees that the taxis in African countries are all Mercedes-Benz, will anyone be willing to continue to provide aid? So. The media's public opinion propaganda is directional, and with this understanding, it suddenly becomes clear.

"Hey, you guys." Fan Wubing looked at the reporters and smiled without saying anything.

Fan Wubing and his team came at a good time this time. Because of the preparations made before, the reception standards were also very high. They were greeted by the brothers of the local tribal chief, who drove a six-liang BMW and a motorcade, a total of more than 20 cars.

It's just that the airport is a little far from the destination. It took more than ten hours to reach the destination.

The road conditions in this part of Africa are really not very good, and the owners don't seem to consider the maintenance of the car at all. They actually drove the BMW at a speed of over 120 miles on the gravel road, which made Fan Wubing feel very ashamed. Thinking about it, he is also a super rich man. He has seen all kinds of rich people in China, but he has never heard of anyone who dares to drive a BMW sedan to run off-road, which makes people feel a little breathless.

It should be said that African friends are very warm and hospitable. They arranged the best hotel for them. And according to the hotel, many super rich people in the world love to come here for vacation.

The hotel is actually a luxury villa in a golf course. Each villa has its own swimming pool and is separated into private spaces by hedges. Each villa seems to cover more than one hectare, which is much more magnificent than the one-acre garden of luxury villas in China.

Playing golf here is free, just tip the caddy.

Of course, in Fan Wubing's eyes, this is nothing. The only thing that makes him admire is that the best part of the hotel should be said to be the original ecology. Because in the low-lying areas of the golf course, there are hippos and crocodiles walking on the water, and there are watering pigs, hares, antelopes on the grass, and countless beautiful birds and monkeys in the trees next to your house.

Of course, as a guest, the hotel will especially remind you to remember that you can't go out of the hotel's walls casually. There are hippos and antelopes outside. There are also ferocious lions and leopards waiting for you. It is said that there are more than 2,000 leopards in this area, and it is hard to say whether there are 200 wild leopards in China now.

After the host arranged Fan Wubing and his party, he was not in a hurry to talk about business. Anyway, he talked to them about what delicious and fun things there are here, and then asked them to have a good rest. The chief will personally host a banquet to entertain the guests from China tomorrow.

"What hospitable African friends!" The accompanying reporters were touched by Mr. Fan and couldn't help but sigh.

Soon, the hotel waiters came to provide services for the Chinese guests. There were all kinds of Western, Eastern and local delicacies. There were even lobsters shipped from Australia to eat, which was completely different from the movie propaganda that Africans were cannibals or ate insects to fill their stomachs.

The enthusiastic waiters also introduced that if the guests were willing, they could apply to go hunting. All the land here was private, and the wild animals on it belonged to the landowner. As long as you pay the prey money to the landlord, you can hunt on the other party's land at will. According to their introduction, the cost of hunting a leopard is about 5,000 US dollars. Hunting is also one of the very profitable tourist projects here.

After staying in the hotel, Fan Wubing realized that he originally thought that the communication service in Africa was not advanced enough, and it was estimated that even the phone was difficult. As a result, he realized that he was an indigenous person when he arrived here, because what was used here was actually satellites. You can go online and communicate globally at any time.

Because there was no introduction in China at that time. So Fan Wubing and his friends' cell phones and other communication devices suddenly stopped working. They suddenly found themselves isolated from the world.

And one more thing, the price of such a hotel is also world-class, and the daily cost is more than ten times more than traveling in other parts of the world.

"As long as you are rich, no matter where you are, it is heaven." Fan Wubing told the hotel staff to order mobile phones for them. He said to everyone with emotion.

The so-called % concept was proposed in 2000, when foreign % technology was only in the early application stage. But to be honest, what is restricting the development now is not technology or investment, but monopoly.

If it weren't for the domestic telecom operators trying to make enough money on the second-generation mobile communication technology, there would be no obstacles for the domestic technology to be developed. In fact, whether it is network technology or terminal equipment. Now it is not a problem. Fan Wubing estimated that the various departments under his Fan Investment Group can basically solve all these problems.

The reason why the domestic problem is still unresolved is that The reason why the technology has not been launched yet is mainly because telecom operators and terminal manufacturers believe that the potential of the second-generation mobile communication technology has not been fully utilized, and there are still a lot of market opportunities to be utilized, so this situation will occur.

After buying the mobile phone, when 6 Qingtong tried the notebook, he said with some emotion, "When can we use such technology in China? .

"At the normal speed. Fan Wubing tilted his head and estimated for a while, and then answered. "If we want to catch up with the current level of technology application of African friends, it should take more than eight years!"

After 6 Qingtong was different, he didn't say anything and returned the phone to Fan Wubing directly.

"What?" Fan Wubing asked curiously.

"I'm worried that I won't be able to adapt to it when I return to China. The little beauty answered calmly.

Fan Wubing was speechless when he heard it, scratched his head, and said after a long time, "Well, this is a problem.

One, one, two, one, one, one
