Three hundred and fortieth chapters convinced
In East Africa, the Sheraton Hotel in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, is known as the roof of Africa. At the door of the conference room, there are a few strong black men wearing sunglasses, wearing black suits and white shirts, and bulging around the waist. Irving, also in a suit, walked around the corridor with a few subordinates calmly. Although he was empty-handed, he was still slightly better in terms of momentum.
In the conference room, Feng Yiping and several assistants sat aside.
On the other hand, there are all senior officials from the host country, headed by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Communications and Information Technology Detegna Gertane, and several cabinet members, including Minister of Finance and Economic Development Borhan Hailu, etc., as well as several members of the Ethiopian People's Representative House and the Federal House of Federal Republic of China, with a luxurious lineup.
So many senior officials came to meet Feng Yiping on the sidelines of attending the second ministerial meeting of the China-Africa Forum. Of course, they were not idle. They had only one purpose, that is, they hope that Feng Yiping could invest.
As the last stop of the Prime Minister's visit, they naturally paid attention to the entire process of the Prime Minister's visit. Feng Yiping's US$2.5 billion investment in the United States deeply attracted them.
You know, Ethiopia, which had just been stable for a few years, had less than US$2 billion in foreign exchange reserves at this time, that is, the young man sitting opposite them with a gentle expression and a quiet look was actually richer than their country.
Minister of Finance and Economic Development Borhan Hailu took the time to meet with several members of the corporate follow-up team yesterday, knowing that the young and overly young man had an influence among their country's entrepreneurs, which led to the meeting.
They only have one purpose. As long as Feng Yiping can invest in Ethiopia, then with a little publicity, they will definitely attract more Chinese companies to invest.
As we all know, the best thing about the companies invested by Chinese people is that their purpose is simply, and they really come for profit.
The investment purpose of many Western companies is not necessarily simple, and there are always additional conditions that are hypocritical and arrogant.
"Thank you to the Prime Minister, the Minister, and all the members of the parliament, I have a very clear understanding that Ethiopia is a very friendly and enthusiastic country to Chinese businessmen,"
When meeting with a high-ranking official, Feng Yiping also had some official accents in his words.
"Your country is also a country with very fast economic development and great potential,"
This sentence is really not a polite statement, because the foundation is very thin, and the new federal government has spent a lot of effort to develop the economy in recent years. Ethiopia's development data for two years is very good, with GDP growth of more than 7%.
Of course, this is mainly because of the low price. It is really not difficult to increase by more than one billion US dollars per year on the basis of less than 100 million US dollars.
"We are also very interested in your country's rich mineral resources and unique tourism resources. However, please understand that every investment we have to have very sufficient preliminary preparations. Therefore, I am looking forward to the honor of investing in your country in the future."
There were so many people coming to them and the specifications were so high, so Feng Yiping naturally couldn't make a general decision to refute bluntly with the sentence "The business scope is not right."
After all, they represent a country, even a country with very backward economy.
For Feng Yiping now, making more friends is actually more important than making more money.
After translation, the people on the other side understood Feng Yiping's meaning.
I have a deeper understanding of him. I am indeed a young man who is not easy to infer from common sense. He speaks beautifully and refuses beautifully. Although he refuses politely or is a blank check, he actually feels like a spring breeze.
If it weren't for face-to-face, I would really think that the other party was an old man who had experienced the ups and downs.
…………
Downstairs of Sheraton Hotel, Feng Yiping stood at the entrance of the hotel and shook hands with the senior Ethiopian officials who came to visit. Several members of the follow-up team who were finally idle once again watched Feng Yiping dealing with these senior officials enviously.
Strangely, the convoy had left, but Feng Yiping was still standing at the door with his hands in his arms, without any intention of coming in. They were about to surround him and gossip, when another Mercedes-Benz convoy with the national flag on the front car drove over, "That's the national flag of Mozambique," someone recognized it.
"Are you looking for Mr. Feng again?"
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yiping, who was standing there, stretched out his hand to an old black man with curly hair coming out of the car.
Looking at Feng Yiping and his group, under the escort of a large group of security personnel, through translation and communicating, the follow-up team couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know this, I thought Mr. Feng was also a senior official in our country,"
"No, you see, these people who come are more enthusiastic than when meeting senior officials in the news. So when you become stronger and stronger, you will actually have more influence than senior officials."
The excitement is not over. In almost an hour, Feng Yiping sent away ordinary people from Mozambique and welcomed another group of people at the entrance of the hotel. It was a team of men led by a minister of the Congo (DRC) who also came to participate in the Central African delegation...
Several members of the follow-up team looked at the scene in front of them, and there was a bit of Liu Bang's thoughts when he saw Qin Shihuang's ceremonial war, "A real man should be like this!"
But they really don’t know what Feng Yiping was helpless at this time. In fact, he doesn’t have a strong desire to invest. If he doesn’t see him, he really doesn’t give people face.
My strength still needs to be enhanced. I hope that I will not have to come forward to meet these people in the future and send someone to socialize.
If the members of the follow-up team knew what they were thinking at the moment, they would be afraid that they would really not know what to say.
…………
A highland platform next to the famous East African Rift Valley was originally covered with cactus and uneven, but at this time, a large piece of flat open space was cleared out, and a long table covered with white tablecloth was placed.
The table was mainly authentic Chinese food. Several waiters from the Hilton Hotel in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, were constantly delivering seafood, fruits and drinks on a helicopter not far away.
About three or four meters away from the table, two black buddies were barbecuing meat, and the aroma was everywhere.
And a little further away, some fully armed soldiers were patrolling vigilantly under the leadership of Irving and several officials from the Ethiopian government security department.
Although Ethiopia is still peaceful, and the second ministerial meeting of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation is being held, and the government has strengthened controls, this is East Africa and borders Somalia, which has been uneven for many years. So, are there any black buddies holding guns jumping out of the canyon next moment and shouting something like "I planted this tree, and I open this road"? Who can say it correctly?
Be careful and be wary of nothing bad. Be wary of nothing bad.
In this originally deserted wilderness, a banquet was held that was more comfortable and safer than in a hotel. In short, this scene, the pomp, is very luxurious, and capitalist, making people feel very happy.
Today's banquet was arranged by Feng Yiping.
In fact, after hearing about this, the relevant departments of Ethiopia came to the door and said generously, "That's not a problem. Just tell me what you want. Let's arrange the rest."
But Feng Yiping still declined. The old saying goes, "If you eat people, you are short-speaking and soft-handed, and if you take advantage of a country, you will be so easy to take advantage of?
People say and do this, so they naturally have their demands. Feng Yiping now would rather spend more money and owe less favors.
…………
It was not hot, but quite warm. Looking at the continuous peaks covered with lush primeval forests in the distance, the vast grassland with a flashing waves near the lake, and the flat, open, beautiful grass, lush trees, and full of vitality at the bottom of the rift valley. Drinking moderately warm red wine, wearing sunglasses and rolling up sleeves, Mr. Wu, who was wearing sunglasses next to him, said, "Dining next to such a rare scenic spot is also the first time in my old man's life. Mr. Feng, thank you for your arrangement," said Mr. Wu, "
The more than ten members of the follow-up team, mainly private enterprise bosses, obviously had the same idea as Mr. Wu. According to domestic rules, he knocked on the table with a wine glass, "Thank you, Mr. Feng, we are polite to you,"
"You guys are kind to you. Speaking of which, I am the youngest in my travels, so it's natural for me to arrange these things."
If you didn't know about it before, the past ten days of getting along have given everyone a clear understanding of Feng Yiping. This is really a very humble, not arrogant at all, decent, and gentle in dealing with others. Compared with those naughty children in their own home, they are really a typical "children from other people's families".
Feng Yiping's attitude and such a person are even more impressed by everyone.
Nowadays, a very rich and young person can still be so easy-going and have no airs. This is rare, this is truly graceful, profound, and well-educated...
Anyway, many people in the follow-up team are increasingly envious of Feng Zhenchang, whom he has never met before. Why is he so lucky?
"You are kind to you, I won't say much about Mr. Feng. From the United States to here, thank you for your proper arrangements. I will just say one thing," Mr. Wu said. "In the future, when I arrive at my land, I must notify me so that I can do my best to the landlords."
"Yes, that's what we mean. Welcome Mr. Feng to go to us when he has time,"
"Haha, I really have this idea. After retirement, I will not do anything else, just go around and I will disturb you at that time."
Everyone is already familiar with the statement that Feng Yiping retires at the latest of 40. If others say it, it would be really pretending to be 13.
But Feng Yiping said this, except envy, there is only envy, and no one wants to be dissatisfied.
Who told people to do a good job?
"At that time, our Mr. Feng will not be the richest man in the mainland, nor the richest man in Chinese or Asian, but the richest man in the world who squeezed Bill Gates down. I hope Mr. Feng will really remember us old guys by then."
After more than ten days of traveling, before today, all their itineraries were in front of the Prime Minister. It was really not easy. In the words of someone in the group, "I have never even opened my suitcase after so many days,"
In the afternoon, the Prime Minister had finished his visit to the United States, Canada, and Mexico and returned home on a special plane. Everyone could finally get behind him. He would do whatever he wanted, and it was very relaxed for a while. This would be a joke about Feng Yiping.
But, is this a joke? Who can tell it correctly?
"I will definitely work hard and I hope you can help you more," Feng Yiping said with a smile.
"Of course, that's certain,"
Maybe it was too relaxed, or drinking a little too much, or enjoying the extraordinary comfort brought by such a pomp. No one noticed that Feng Yiping, who has always been modest, did not deny their joke.
"Mr. Feng, you see, although this country is inland, it is actually quite peaceful. The industry is underdeveloped and there are many minerals. It has a good relationship with our country now. To be honest, I was very moved after seeing it. Mr. Feng, are you interested in investing in this?"
"Don't have too much, just a little bit of it leaks in your fingers. If you do this, then we will have confidence."
Feng Yiping suddenly felt that this was very familiar, oh, by the way, didn’t the people from Ethiopia and other governments say the same in the past two days?
I was mobilized to invest in several countries, and I was a little proud when I remembered it.
"I really can't help with this. Mr. Wu, you know that our group's main business is not very suitable for local resources,"
In fact, I didn’t have any of them. Congo, who came to find him, had the lithium battery industry mentioned by Cummins, an important upstream resource, cobalt mine, but Feng Yiping still didn’t want to start mining, especially in Africa.
"Oh, that's it, then I understand,"
At this time, a person on the other end came over with a wine glass, "Mr. Feng, we are the ones who produce toys. Look, yours, or your baby products store, can you use some of our products? Don't worry, as long as you agree, I will definitely use the best ones from raw materials to design,"
At the beginning of his life, everyone immediately recommended themselves, "Yes, Mr. Feng, my family produced it..."
Each family is very proactive and has very good conditions.
Feng Yiping’s performance and actions these days have really impressed them. They firmly believe that having sex with people like Feng Yiping and doing business will definitely have a future. (To be continued.)
