Coquettish Rebirth

Thinking of opening a factory in the Congo, Jia Hongjian naturally had to deal with the Congolese authorities next. ? After applying for a meeting with the interim president of the Congo, Jia Hongjian also hastily studied the personal history of the interim president of the Congo.I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.The interim president of the Congo, Joseph Kabilana, is still a president-the second generation!His father was the former president of the Congo. As a result, during the regional conflict in 2001, his father was assassinated and killed. Within 20 hours, the then army commander-in-chief Joseph Kabila directly announced that he had taken over Papa's right to become the new leader of the Congolese government.Later, under various peace talks, he also became the interim president before the election of the new government.

Such a Kabila, born in 71, is only 33 years old now.My father sent me to Uganda to study in elementary school, and then I studied in Tanzania for middle school and university. At the age of 24, I went to Rwanda, which had just experienced the massacre, to learn military knowledge and military training from relevant parties.After that, I started to quell rebellions and armed conflicts with my father, and became the deputy general staff of the Congo in 96...

Such a princeling even has a relationship with China - in 98, he was ordered by his father to come to China's National Defense University and attend a half-year training course for senior commanders.After graduating, he became the commander-in-chief of the Congo-Kinshasa army in 99. After his father was assassinated in 2001, he immediately became the president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces.In 02, peace talks between the parties began, and he served as the interim president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces.Then he went on a mission to China in 02... From these places, it seems that such a new president still has a Chinese plot?At least it shouldn't be a stupid hardcore ally of the United States, right?

Before waiting for the President of Congo to receive.Jia Hongjian also wandered around the city of Kinshasa.Generally speaking, it is a little more prosperous than Luanda, the capital of Angola, because it has a larger population after all.For example, the population of Kinshasa can be 700 million, which is more than double the population of Luanda!There are also a lot more cars running on the street, and the grades are much better than those in Luanda.It looks like all kinds of black uncles in vests and underpants drive Toyotas, Mitsubishis and even BMWs and Mercedes-Benzs!Of course, these cars are also second-hand cars, but the overall appearance looks good, not like the second-hand cars in Luanda, which makes people feel that they are all kinds of cars that are about to be scrapped.What about the car here?It still feels a bit like an off-line taxi in China in later generations.At least it looks ok on the outside.

Of course, just because the cars here are better doesn’t mean that Congo’s economy is better than Angola’s and the cars are as big.Let’s take Jia Hongjian and his colleagues as they got off the plane two days ago. Although the runway is not bumpy, at least the side of the apron is really bumpy.And just one runway.Weeds are growing all around!It can be said that if people who have never been abroad read it.Can't believe it's the capital international airport of a country!However, Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing had visited Luanda International Airport in Angola, and they were at a similar level!

After coming out of the airport, there are dozens of kilometers of roads along the way.It was full of potholes.Then on both sides of the road, it is really wilderness!Although it is the rainy season, it is still the place to shoot "Animal World"!From time to time, there are various animals walking parallel to the road from a distance. It really makes people feel deeply what it means to be in Africa!Then in the city, it is also full of potholes.As for the only gymnasium in the capital, it was built with Chinese aid in the 60s.And the road conditions on the road...Anyway, there are all kinds of chaos, which makes people feel rushed, just like the India they saw on TV, or like in some small county town, there is no traffic police at all, and there are no zebra crossings.Anyway, not to mention pedestrians crossing the road casually, people are walking along the road, and there is even Uncle Hei walking in the middle of the road!And there are not many!So if this traffic is to drive in the city, it is like a turtle crawling, and it needs all kinds of flashes and maneuvers to drive faster than people!

Needless to say, there are definitely no public transportation facilities here, not even buses, so it is completely unreliable to rely on buses to achieve strict traffic order.Anyway, here in Kinshasa, it is basically the same as Luanda. The rich drive new cars, those with little money drive second-hand cars, those with little money drive motorcycles and ride bicycles, and the poorest drive on foot.In such a state, even if Congo is stronger than Angola, it is really limited.However, this Congo also has good points.More than 40% of the country's population believes in Catholicism, more than 20% of the population believes in British Protestantism, 60% of people can speak French, and 20% of people can speak English.The people are quite friendly, and at the same time, there is a bit of intimacy between men in India. It is normal for two black uncles to walk hand in hand on the street, and there is no element of affection.

The currency here is the Congolese franc. Although such a country used to be a colony of Belgium, it uses francs. This is because Belgium used to use francs.Then the local currency is the Congolese franc, and the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Congolese franc is 1:900, and the exchange rate with the RMB is almost 1:100.As for the salary of the local people, according to the embassy, ​​the income is 1000-2000 Congolese francs a day, that is, the income of RMB 20 to 1000.And the local prices are as expensive as in Angola. A bottle of mineral water costs 10 Congolese francs, which is just over 1200 yuan in RMB!A bottle of beer costs 500 Congolese francs, a catty of vegetables costs 1300 Congolese francs for 300 grams, and even a small bread made by the most common and common street shop on the local street costs 500 to 3 Congolese francs, 5-[-] A small bread for [-] yuan!Therefore, after a day's work, the local people at the bottom are only enough to feed themselves a meal!

Under such circumstances, small night markets and the like are quite popular.Because the money earned from working part-time can't support myself and my family, and if I don't commit any crimes, I can only do some small business.So at night, there are small stalls on the side of the road, all of which are food and drink stalls that make temporary side dishes.These stalls are all looking for cheap fruits that are about to go bad in the daytime fruit stalls, and then fry them casually, and sell them at a lower price, which can be regarded as at least cheaper for the local migrant workers. full.

Generally speaking, such a country is really similar to Angola. Although the population is much larger, the demographic dividend has not yet been brought into play. In such a country, each woman has an average of 6 children. Basically, the national population in more than 20 years The rhythm of doubling, this is still when the mortality rate was relatively high in the past.Now that there are all kinds of medicines donated from Europe and the United States, won't the population double within ten years?However, such a country has an advantage that Angola does not have, that is, the national forest coverage rate is as high as 50%, and there are 8000 million hectares of forests across the country that can be developed and felled.And now only 62 hectares have been developed!At the same time, in their forest, ebony, mahogany, rosewood, and yellow lacquered wood are all good wood for making furniture!Like rosewood, the domestic price is almost 5000 yuan!It’s very cheap to set up a timber felling site plus a timber processing factory in Congo. How much money can you earn just by exporting timber?Even if it is further processed, we can find the best carpenter in southern Fujian to make furniture in Congo, and then sell it directly to China, how much money can we make?

Besides, we can use Uncle Hei as a lumberjack, right?Isn't the overall salary level also suppressed?At that time, the furniture made by our factory here will be directly sent to China in batches in the form of parts. On average, the price of a piece of furniture will not increase much, and then it will be assembled, which will increase the price!At the same time, we can also plant some ebony and pear trees while cutting down here. When the 8000 million hectares are cut down, the previously planted trees should grow up!So in addition to copper mines, there are obviously rich natural resources here!

It can be said that before meeting such a Congolese president, Jia Hongjian's plans here were enriched a lot.After wandering around for a few days, the president finally had time and cordially received Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing in the presidential palace.When he met such a president, Jia Hongjian was surprised to find that the performance of the second generation of the president was completely different from that of the civilian president in Angola!What is the performance of Angola's civilian president Jose?Talk a lot, and then get excited at every turn, and rush to do something at every turn, and then the ten cows with sufficient motivation can't pull back!

As for the president of the Congo, he is indeed a man who has fought for many years, so he is calm!It can even be described as taciturn!This black uncle is not very old, only 33 years old.But when Jia Hongjian saw him, he saw that such a person was really a domestic spirit. Although he was smiling, he spoke slowly, and his eyes were very deep, as if he was always looking at him. Thinking very deeply!Such a first impression made Jia Hongjian feel that such a president is not so easy to deal with!

It turned out that although such a president was very happy for the Chinese Jia Hongjian to develop the Congo, he was indeed relatively restrained, and at the same time he was not excited to give Jia Hongjian any benefits or any privileges at that time!Even if Jia Hongjian said that he wanted to open a copper mine in the local area, even if Jia Hongjian said he wanted to open a one-stop industry such as a timber felling plant, a processing factory, and even a furniture factory, such a president just smiled faintly. , but not how excited!
