Coquettish Rebirth

"These countries in Africa have no history at all... Before they were colonized, there were not many countries that could be sold, and most of them were tribal. After they were colonized, it was impossible for their native people to participate Go to the management of the colonies. After finally becoming independent, they were tossed and started a civil war. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the civil war almost stopped, and the late ones like Angola did not really start to govern until two years ago. So The leaders of African countries are actually very poor in governance, and they are also very inexperienced... Sometimes they are very naive and radical. It can even be said that radicalism does not consider the consequences. One of their biggest characteristics, decided to turn, very The whole world knows what they want to shout about, but they don't understand the meaning of keeping a low profile... hey..." Ambassador Liu said to Jia Hongjian with a sigh.

After finally persuading President José, Jia Hongjian, Ambassador Liu and the others made great efforts to have a meal in the Chinese Embassy in Angola. Ambassador Liu was so emotional at the dinner table.To be honest, it was only at this time that Jia Hongjian began to understand Africa. Before that, he never thought that there would be such a country leader!Why does your sister's radical attitude and political thinking make her feel like she can't even become a county magistrate in China?From a certain point of view, this kind of leader is really a pig teammate!If you want to develop in Africa, you really have to put a lot of energy on them, lest they foolishly make trouble again!Just as Jia Hongjian was thinking this way, he heard Uncle Wang Jianjun take a sip of beer.Then he smiled helplessly, "Who says it's not? Brother countries in the third world in Africa. That's really... hey, it's really worrying! Ambassador Liu, Brother Jia, you haven't been here for too long , you may not know, when I came here in the 8s, I heard about a story. It was said that a bad black man in the United States ran to Africa. Then it took three or four years to instigate a coup , and then he himself overthrew the government and became the leader of the country! Talk about it! Chaos! It’s really like what Cao Cao said in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, how many people in the world are kings!”

All right.Africa is such a wonderful place.But what can we do?The situation is stronger than the people. Unless Jia Hongjian wants to change the overall situation in Africa, he can only follow the trend.Just like Americans doing business in China, they can only follow the rules of China as much as possible, not the rules of the United States.The so-called do as the Romans do, when you go to a country or a continent, you can only follow other people's practices as much as possible, otherwise you will be an outlier, and no matter how correct you are, it will be useless!Although the African continent gave Jia Hongjian the feeling.That is a funny mainland, but the whole continent has more than one billion people who are so funny, what else can we do?Can we alone change the thinking of more than one billion people?Changing the habits of a continent of more than a billion people?To be honest, even if he had the ability, Jia Hongjian would not think about doing it.Because it is completely thankless, so what if it is done?After such a meal, Jia Hongjian felt that it was necessary for him to go deep into the bottom of a country like Angola, or even other African countries, to take a good look at what kind of existence the citizens of such a country are like.The more he discovers the wonderful things in Africa now, the more he wants to know more about Africa.It's a bit like Jack Welch has come to China more than a dozen times, and every time he comes, he finds that he doesn't understand China at all.If an entrepreneur wants to develop in a new market, if he has no idea what the people in this land are like, how can he do business?I thought in my mind that a product should be easy to sell, but in the end I spent a lot of money to get it, only to find that it is not the case at all!Isn't this making yourself guilty?For an average person, it is said that the maximum contact with the same kind of people in a lifetime is about 1 person.Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people to fully understand the state of the entire country and the state of its citizens.But in order to do business, a businessman must know more, and for money, he must take the initiative to understand the entire ethnic group!

So next, Jia Hongjian dressed like an African, wearing a T-shirt and big pants all day, and then stepped on slippers, and brought a black uncle who understood Portuguese, English and local dialect to translate together. , The two of them drove around Angola and Africa when they had nothing to do, and then went around to see how the black uncles lived in various villages.Looking at it this way, Jia Hongjian really increased his understanding of Africa, and also let him know more about the exotic flowers of Africa-the land in Angola is quite good, so let's grow food locally, instead of planting annual plants. Yes, you can benefit for life!This means you don't have to sow every year!Even the black uncles don't weed weeds!

Relatively diligent black aunts farm the land, that is, they poke a small hole in the soft ground with a wooden stick, then put the seeds in, and use their feet to pull the soil to cover up such a small hole, which is considered acceptable. .Then come and harvest the fruit in a few months!If you are lazy, just scatter the seeds or something, and then come and see it in a few months!So what looks like a weedy wasteland on the side of the road is probably the cultivated land of some black uncle and aunt!This kind of thing is absolutely unimaginable in China!Even if it is a small field reclaimed by ordinary people in a community in China, they can weed weeds and turn the land over!But here in Africa, the land is naturally soft and fertile, so there is no need to loosen the soil!So people farming is called extensive!Not to mention the removal of weeds, there is not even a field ridge or anything, and even a large area of ​​​​the field does not even have a canal!

No drains!my God!How does this grow food?The climate of Gadana in Africa is slightly similar to Lingnan, but warmer.So they don't have four seasons of the year, just the dry season and the rainy season.The dry season is not like the dry grassland scenes in various wildlife documentaries. In fact, the dry season feels like autumn in China to Jia Hongjian, a little dry and less rain.Then the rainy season, just like the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, the whole weather is damp, and it can rain spasmodically for a week.The kind of clothes that don't even dry out!So in such a case, watering is definitely needed in the dry season.And the rainy season needs drainage.The black uncles don't understand this at all, and don't think it's necessary.Then their food in the dry season is severely drought, and in the rainy season, it will be flooded!In addition to all kinds of extensive farming without weeding, it gives people the feeling that this is not a field at all but a wasteland!

This is the reason why many tribes in Africa are still hunting or gathering.Haven't entered the agricultural stage yet!And because I don't know how to do farm work.Therefore, the male black uncles and strong laborers in Africa have nothing to do all day long.Every day is to bask in the sun and brag, and then "farming" is done by Uncle Hei's wives.But there is nothing tiring to do.It's just poking a few holes with a stick and throwing the seeds in.There is no need to weed or use chemical fertilizers, anyway, it is really a matter of watching the sky!

Then such a result is that the strong laborers are lazy, do nothing every day, and don't study science and culture.At the same time, the women farmed indiscriminately, causing the soil fertility to be seriously lost by the rain, and soon the land became hardened in various ways, and then the black uncles abandoned it.Then go to reclaim a piece of land or something.Generally speaking, for Congo, which is a bit to the east, the annual rainfall is around 16, which is the same as Thailand. Then the land they reclaimed basically does not meet the local standards for two years, and it will be abandoned.As a result, the abandoned land is much more fertile than the land in China except the black land in Northeast China!So if it is for the Chinese to "pick up trash", they will call the Africans prodigals!

At the same time, because everything has to be imported, pesticides and fertilizers are basically not produced in Africa, so the price is so expensive!As for Gada in Africa, because of the tropics, not only is the land good and food grows well, but all kinds of diseases and insect pests are also insane!For example, Jia Hongjian had seen a palm-sized beetle-like black beetle on the side of the road, and it was eating economic forests such as papaya trees!It is said that in the near future, if a banana forest or papaya forest is planted, it will be completely destroyed by various diseases and insect pests in those few months!

At the same time, because of pests and diseases, such as malaria and other diseases, the European colonists were not able to colonize their people quickly!It's just that they didn't transport their population to the United States as quickly as they discovered the United States.Even if the land on this side of Africa is so good, but the medical conditions back then were not good, even if Europeans came here, they might be killed by mosquitoes and various strange diseases soon!When modern medicine developed, it was able to resist these viruses and so on, but it also ushered in the tide of colonial independence!From some perspectives, this can be regarded as an eye-opener.Otherwise, if Britain, Portugal and France made Africa look like the United States, Canada and Australia, where are the Chinese people today?

Africa is really a magical land. Jia Hongjian took a driver and translator to visit Angola for a month, and then went to the neighboring Congo for a month.As a result, Jia Hongjian, a Chinese, was treated as a foreigner for the first time, just like the white people who came to China in the 8s—in some inland tribes in the Congo, they had never seen a white person, let alone a white person. Don't say you are yellow!So after Jia Hongjian came to the village, a group of people really looked at Jia Hongjian like animals!

Of course, apart from this kind of interesting experience, Jia Hongjian also encountered a lot of good luck!For example, the prince of a certain tribe in Africa wanted to counterattack because he was expelled. He asked Jia Hongjian to raise funds for the restoration of the country, and promised that if the restoration of the country was successful, he would cede half of the land to Jia Hongjian.What else is there in Africa where the princess of Ayi Turtle wants to choose a son-in-law, and she has her eyes on Jia Hongjian. If Jia Hongjian nods and is willing to give a gift of 100 million US dollars, then there will be a dowry of hundreds of millions of US dollars waiting for him later. .There is also a super profitable plan to cut down the rainforest and build a factory. It will break even in three months, make money in six months, and double the income in a year.What else is there that the local tribal chiefs lease land cheaply, and they can rent the right to use 100 square kilometers for [-] years for only [-] U.S. dollars...

Tsk tsk...Looking at these experiences, who said African black uncles are stupid if they don't learn culture?Look at these adventures given to Jia Hongjian, it is even more exaggerated than the thousands of lottery wins he encountered in China, and the 3-year-old young woman asked for a child by borrowing seeds!Your sister's African is quite comparable to the Chinese in deceiving people!You can't learn the good ones, and you can pay off the bad ones! )
