After walking around with Yi Chengfen, Ling Qingyu realized how solid a foundation Yi Chengfen had laid in Africa over the years. Not only Camilla praised her, but some middle-level officials were so enthusiastic that they both felt a little I can't accept it. From the mouths of those people, it was said that Gibbub had a very serious fever that affected a wide range of people. Not only the poor areas, but also the rich areas were affected. If it wasn't for Yi Chengfen at the time It happened that he was traveling in Jibub, and immediately found Camila for treatment, so Jibub's death would be unknown.
All the way to socialize with people, both of their faces were twitching when they laughed. When Gu Sui and the Chinese aid team came in and the officials went to shake hands and say hello out of politeness, the two quickly sat down on one side and patted their cheeks. Let the muscles relax.
After receiving Yang Zhao and the others, they only said a few words, and they left together with He Li. Ling Qingyu didn't ask what they were going to do, but brought some tired but more energetic faces from the men, and from that shine In the pupils of her eyes, she could feel their confidence and determination to win.
Men have men's battles to fight, and she has hers.
In any business negotiation, no matter what country the person is from, there is a competition for interests under favor, but under the premise of the same interests, favor and goodwill determine people's judgment.
After leaving the airport, she did not go to the hotel, but made an appointment with the official who sold the land to her and has now become Jibubu in charge of foreign cooperation.
Since the independence of Djibub in the 1970s, the political situation has been relatively stable, and the system is gradually improving. When Ling Qingyu asked whether the contract with the government seal and the signature of the promoted official was still valid, the official's eyes widened and he asked back in surprise, why do you have such doubts? This is a blasphemy to our country, but when Ling Qingyu said why did you let other exploration teams explore on my ground without even informing, he turned into embarrassment and apologized again and again.
Naturally, Ling Qingyu would not entangle with him on this matter, and after clicking to the end, he will further cooperate and start discussing details.
This official is Camilla's brother-in-law. He has discussed with Camilla several times about the weird oil incident on the ground. This time Camilla also had a secret conversation with him when he came back. The two have reached a consensus, that is, La To be taken advantage of by China, I insist that there must be oil down there, and the contract must stipulate that no matter how much oil there is down there, the Chinese investment cannot be less than 500 million US dollars, otherwise, the land will be taken back for free, and the rest of the terms...
so whatever...
As soon as Ling Qingyu heard the conditions stated by the official, she understood the other party's thoughts. Although she was sure that the oil field below would not be small, and the amount to be invested would not exceed five or five billion, but due to her negotiating skills, she I have always shown unwillingness and hesitation on this point, and repeatedly stated that now that well is no longer producing oil, and you can see that other areas are not producing oil. If there is no oil, she could still do some tourism development. , but didn't your line cut off all her retreats
The officials began to make various promises, such as tax incentives, preferential sharing, and the proportion of workers employed could be appropriately reduced. If those workers were unqualified, the Chinese side could dismiss them or reduce their salaries at any time, and set aside some land in Djibub City for the Chinese side. The building was built, and finally the most beautiful coastline was set aside for the Chinese (mainly Ling Qingyu) to build private villas.
Ling Qingyu burst into laughter in his heart, but his face was still bitter. In the end, the two agreed to meet Camilla and the President after attending the banquet in the evening.
As long as they get the nods of the first and second leaders, plus a little request from the official, the cooperation agreement can basically be finalized.
After the talk, she non-stop went to the hotel to change clothes, and then cooperated with Yi Chengfen to arrive at the venue ahead of time. Before the banquet started, she had a secret talk with Camilla and the president.
During the secret talks, Yi Chengfen said that the African people are friends of the Chinese people and Djibub has special feelings for China (nonsense, Djibub is a French colony and is still the back garden of France), even if there is no oil You can also do other industries, such as the leather processing industry, marine life and other excuses. After helping Camilla and the president lobby, Ling Qingyu reluctantly agreed to sign a total investment (not limited to oil and the development of that piece of land). The cooperation agreement with a term of less than 500 million US dollars, but relative to it, not only the benefits promised by Camilla’s brother-in-law, but also the employment of workers and the use of equipment will be fully liberalized to the Chinese side. Of course, the Chinese side will guarantee that even if the local 20% of jobs will be provided to those whose jobs are not up to standard. At the same time, Gibub will sign mutual visa-free concessions with China.
The last item Camilla and the President agreed to very readily, but they had some doubts about whether China would agree. They just put aside this suspicion for the time being because of Ling Qingyu’s determined expression and Yi Chengfen’s certainty.
After all, this one is also a good thing for Gibbs.
Both sides were very satisfied with the result of the secret talks. In order to catch the Chinese who was willing to spend 500 million US dollars on the wasteful desert, the president directly ordered Camilla's brother-in-law to draft an agreement, Ling Qingyu He also politely sent Cheng Jia and Hua Zhonghua (who understand English and French) to Camilla’s brother-in-law. They came out to the banquet in a warm and happy atmosphere. Cheng Jia and the others started working at the back of the banquet hall. drudgery.
Cheng Jia said that if he knew this was the case, he should have parked the yacht in Daguang and dragged Su Hexiang along, or left Yang Zhao and He Li behind.
He is such a gentleman...
Even Ling Qingyu can't compare, those two women, one singing a bad face and the other singing a red face, cooperate perfectly. Look at the meat dug, if there is a steady stream of oil down there, these Jibubu people are afraid that they will regret it The intestines are all green.
Although these terms do not take much advantage of them now, the 30-70 split is an international practice, and such a large oil field, even if it only has 20% of the staff quota, it can help them solve a large number of unemployed people.
Following the welcome guests into the banquet hall, seeing that Mr. Jibub's president was there, Gu Sui's posture straightened up, although the other party was just standing there waiting for them to meet him, even though Jibub was even the smallest in China. No other province can compare, but it is the leader of an independent country after all. He can show himself that he attaches great importance to him. In the future, he will lick a fortune in his resume and receive a cordial reception from the leader when he leads a team abroad for the first time. It's a face-saving thing.
Moreover, out of the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of Ling Qingyu who was sitting in the corner as if he was completely ignored, Gu Sui had a bright smile on his face, not to mention, the effect of eye drops with Mr. President should be better.
"Hello, Mr. President!" Speaking fluent French, Gu Sui reached out to hold Mr. President's hand, and said with a slight smile, "I often mention you to my father. My father also stayed in Africa for a while."
"Oh? Who is your father?" Hearing Gu Sui's fluent French, the president smiled.
"My father's name is Gu Chong, and he served in the peacekeeping force eight years ago." Gu Sui smiled more sincerely, and his voice carried obvious pride.
Gu Chong's success in the future was not only due to Minister Gu's support, but the most important thing was the contribution he made in the peacekeeping force. This is why Gu Chong wanted to come to Africa this time.
The president's face changed slightly, and the smile returned to its original state after a twitch on his face. He smiled and said, "Really? I also served in the peacekeeping force eight years ago. I remember that the leader of the Chinese peacekeeping force at that time was Colonel Shen, I have always had a good relationship with him." After speaking, he smiled slightly, avoided Gu Sui, and followed Gu Sui to shake hands with the people in the aid team who came to Africa.
Gu Sui was taken aback, but was gently pushed by the bodyguard behind him, and stepped aside with a polite smile, thinking carefully about the meaning of the president's words.
Eight years ago, he had just entered junior high school, and he only knew that his father had made great achievements and came back. The whole family was very happy, and his mother even turned up his nostrils. Please, but although my father was very happy when he came back, he never talked about the details at that time.
According to the president, there were still members of the Shen family in the peacekeeping force at that time? But why is there no news at all
And, Mr. President, what does that mean? Did he mistake Gu and Shen, or did he only recognize members of the Shen family
Before he could figure it out, the welcoming guest led the guests to sit at the table, because he had no spare time at all, so the interview time was very tight, and after shaking hands one by one, he sat down directly, even the greetings There is no time.
Then came the president's speech, Gu Sui's speech, and then the banquet performance.
When he got back to his seat, seeing that Ling Qingyu and Yi Chengfen were also at Mr. President and Camilla's table including him, and they were closer to Mr. President than him, Gu Sui's face darkened slightly, and his face suddenly showed displeasure. happy expression.
None of the people at the table had any idea that Camilla and another official were discussing with Yi Chengfen how to prevent infectious diseases, and the president was lobbying Ling Qingyu not to give up all the donation of 10 million US dollars. A part of the hospital was going to be set up as a medical station, and the other officials were listening to them attentively. It wasn't until Gu Sui stood beside him for half a minute that he didn't sit down, and the officials next to him raised their heads and looked at him questioningly.
Gu Sui had no choice but to sit down, and listened to what they were saying happily, as if ignoring him completely, and his heart was bubbling with anger. When Ling Qingyu nodded in agreement with Mr. President's suggestion and said that the suggestion was very good, he said lightly in French: "Miss Ling, this is a state banquet. It's not a place to talk nonsense. You must do what you say. If you don't have 10 million dollars, don't talk nonsense."
