Our Rise Era

Chapter 176: African Company!
Africa.

Although it is a barren land.

But at the same time, it is a vast place.

It has an area of ​​3020 million square kilometers, accounting for 20.4% of the world's total land area, and a total population of over 10 billion, accounting for one-sixth of the world's population...

Over the past few decades.

Many African countries are among the important strategic locations where China provides aid.

Since the millennium, China has been continuously increasing its aid to Africa, starting with $5.6 million, which has since continued to rise every year until 09, when it soared to $12.5 billion, with an average annual growth rate of over 10%. In addition to official aid funds, China also provides Africa with project funds and preferential loans, with a total amount of up to $ billion...

....................................

"Hello, Mr. Zhang Yang!"

"Hello, Mr. Adam, you speak fluent Chinese!"

"Haha, yes, I studied in China for many years, and at one point I thought I was Chinese..."

"..."

The mayor of Abuja, Nigeria is named Adamu.

He took office at the beginning of this year. He is very young, around 35 years old, and is at an ambitious age.

Dialogue with Chinese people...

Adamu is no stranger to this.

He once studied abroad in a Chinese school and met many Chinese people.

He once thought that he would marry and have children in China, but his father's death and a series of circumstances at home made him return to Nigeria.

After returning to Nigeria, relying on what he learned in a certain military academy in China and a series of equipment he picked up inexplicably in the desert, he quickly occupied an important position in the most chaotic place in Nigeria. In the following years, perhaps he learned the essence of "conquering people with virtue" from China. After a few years, those chaotic camps finally bowed down to him...

After that, he began to enter politics gradually, intending to realize his ambitions.

The sun outside was a little hot.

but……

The temperature inside the villa is very comfortable.

Adamu was not arrogant. When he saw Zhang Yang for the first time, he was surprised at how young he was. But then, he gave Zhang Yang a warm smile.
He was very tall, and when he shook hands with Zhang Yang, his hand was very powerful. Zhang Yang could clearly feel that his hands were very strong and had calluses on them.

Afterwards, after shaking hands with Zhang Yang, Adam invited Zhang Yang and the middleman Sai Wans to sit down.

……

In fact, Adam began to pay attention to this young man from the first day Zhang Yang brought Kenyan long-distance running champion Kenuru to Africa.

In the past two months, he saw Zhang Yang constantly giving speeches in various African countries, promoting the mobile phone called "Lion 1"...

A little curiosity arose in his mind.

In fact...

Over the years, countless mobile phone manufacturers have come to Africa with great ambition to conquer this land.

But later, all of these people were just making a lot of noise but not much action, and after several twists and turns, they all ended up in defeat...

The brands that survived in the end were all big brands like [Novia] and [Samsung].

Here in Africa...

The conditions are too harsh.

Often, there are dozens of telecommunications providers in one region...

The power system is even more embarrassing. Some villages don’t even have electricity…

Even Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, often suffers from power shortages.

The African market is undoubtedly vast, but in some major cities, giants such as Samsung and Novia have already achieved dominance.

Other mobile phone brands, without exception, have a dead end.

……

But this young man named Zhang Yang took a different path.

Especially one night a month ago, my wife was so excited holding a new mobile phone, as if she had discovered a new world, and kept taking selfies...

His interest was piqued!

In the past, mobile phone manufacturers only wanted to use the cheapest mobile phone manufacturing technology to promote their products in Africa...

But the camera system is almost the same as if it didn't exist...

Even some mobile phones that cost several thousand yuan are very embarrassing for them.

However, Zhang Yang's [Eagle 1] solved this problem perfectly!

Moreover, the prices they sell are also very surprising, neither unacceptable nor without a small profit...

After the three parties took their seats.

Adam took out a [Lion 1] mobile phone and smiled: "Mr. Zhang Yang, the [Lion 1] mobile phone, the camera system, is one of the best mobile phones I have ever seen..."

"Haha, thank you, we will continue to work hard..."

"Mr. Zhang Yang, I heard from Mr. Sai Wans that you have dozens of photovoltaic companies from China behind you, right?"

"Yes……"

When Zhang Yang saw a hint of expectation in Adam's eyes, he was stunned at first, then he squinted his eyes, nodded, and smiled.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, do you think there is any possibility for us to cooperate?"

When Adam saw Zhang Yang nodded, the smile on his face gradually brightened.

If... Zhang Yang was just a mobile phone seller, but he actually sold a mobile phone...

Although Adam found it interesting, he would not meet Zhang Yang in person.

a month ago…

After the Lion 1 mobile phone became a hot seller in Kenya, Cy Vance, as a champion coach, began to serve as the liaison and salesman of the Lion 1 mobile phone, as well as one of the initial shareholders. He began to travel across the vast African countries to promote the Lion 1 mobile phone and, by the way, select a location for Zhang Yang's next "Lion 1 mobile phone launch conference."

The identity of [champion coach] is very popular in any country, and it is easier to see more leaders.

With Cy Vance's deliberate approach, the two of them finally met at a cocktail party and talked for a long time.

At first, I recommended mobile phones...

Later, they gradually started talking about China, international affairs, the photovoltaic industry, and Zhang Yang, the core figure of this trip.

When Adam learned that Zhang Yang actually had shares in more than a dozen Chinese photovoltaic companies, and that he had his own research institute, and even had the support of China behind him...

He realized one thing instantly!

That is……

The photovoltaic production capacity in Africa is huge!
But there is a power shortage in Africa!
whether……

in the office.

Zhang Yang glanced at the sunlight outside the window.

The sunshine here in Africa is very hot, and the abundant lighting conditions truly meet many of the conditions for the photovoltaic industry.

A moment later...

He looked at Adam with a serious expression and nodded earnestly: "In fact, on the first day I set foot on our African land, I thought about how to use the photovoltaic industry to pave the way for our Africa..."

"Do you have any plans?" Adam's expression became serious when he heard this.

"Mr. Adam..."

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Zhang Yang was about to speak, he suddenly saw Adam gesture to wait and dial a few phone calls.

Not long after, several young men wearing glasses walked into the office.

"This is Dawa, our technical director!" Adam introduced the person next to him immediately.

"Hello……"

After the two sides shook hands, Zhang Yang nodded.

Then, at Adam's instruction, he pushed up his glasses and said, "In fact, during this period, I have been thinking about the problem of underdeveloped electricity in Africa and the difficulty in charging our mobile phones... I plan to set up our [Lion 1] mobile phone charging station. In every city, I will set up a mobile phone charging point to charge our [Lion 1] mobile phones... As for the raw materials of the charging station, I plan to use a photovoltaic system to convert them..."

When he heard this, Adam's eyes lit up, and then he nodded: "Continue..."

"But there are a few questions that have been bothering me and making me feel very uncomfortable..."

"What's the problem? You said..."

"The first problem is that we need manpower for our charging stations. Although China has many investment companies in Africa, I am inevitably worried that someone will damage our charging stations. Moreover, most places in Africa are in chaos right now, for example, some villages in Nigeria... After all, we are outsiders, and we cannot guarantee that our infrastructure will not be damaged..."

When he heard this, Adamu thought: "What about the second one?"

"Second, actually, I have investigated our photovoltaic market in Africa. Some people have indeed expanded it before, but the cost is very high. The government's support cannot support this area at present. Most of them are currently losing money... The third problem is that we need people, we need more and more people to participate in this area, but we really lack people like Mr. Cy Vance who can control the market in our country. Many details cannot be localized..."

"..."

Zhang Yang silently expressed his concerns.

After listening carefully, Adam started chatting with the Dawa team next to him in the local language.

Zhang Yang couldn't understand what they were saying...

However, judging from their expressions, which sometimes frowned, sometimes looked confused, and sometimes nodded, one could roughly guess that they were considering a solution.

And champion coach Cy Vance was a little nervous…

Looking towards Zhang Yang...

Looking at Adam again...

He was keenly aware that if this cooperation could be successful, as the middleman, he would most likely get benefits that he could not even imagine!
About half an hour later...

Adam nodded and looked at Zhang Yang with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, what if we can send our army to protect you and let you do whatever you want?"

"Mr. Adam, what you mean is..."

"We can send people to various places to protect your infrastructure. Besides, although we are not rich and cannot compare with European and American countries, we have resources..."

"Mr. Adam, you should discuss these resources with our higher-level leaders. This is a national matter, and my personal matter..." Zhang Yang shook his head when he heard this.

Adamu was silent for a while, then laughed: "In addition, I can issue you a pass. With this pass, you and your company can go anywhere in Nigeria, except for confidential places. At the same time, local leaders must also cooperate with your work..."

When Zhang Yang heard this.

First stunned.

Then he stared at Adam, and when he saw Adam's serious expression, he was stunned for a long time.

Finally, he smiled and said, "Mr. Adamu, I want to set up an Eagle Group in Nigeria. This group will not sell mobile phones and photovoltaics. In the future, when our advanced industries come here, we can use them as a pilot in Nigeria. However, I have a request..."

When it came to the word "request", Adam's expression was serious: "You say it!"

"I hope you can become a part of our [Eagle Group]..."

"..."
