Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

Zhang Xingming already knew that Mobil was the best oil company in the world. Because of the anti-monopoly law, it was forcibly split into more than 20 companies and scattered all over the world, and each of them dominated one side. They were all top [-] energy companies in the world.

He also knows that Venezuela is the world's largest oil storage country, and he can remember this only because gasoline in their country is sold too cheaply. Bottles of mineral water are dozens of times cheaper.Let's not compare oil prices. (T^T)

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xingming said: "Chevron, Amoco can also be considered. Forget the others. If you can't afford it, you dare not buy it."

Su Yan covered her mouth, and Xu Lan said, "Well, I'll arrange it. Chevron has invested in China for 85 years."

Zhang Xingming said: "That's right, he's the one."

Tang Xin leaned over: "Er Ming, where do we live? What do we eat?"

Prince Edward Island is the coldest month of the year in July, and the dry season in July, August, and September, with very little rain, and the lowest temperature of the year, which is also the most comfortable time, more than 20 degrees.Before July is the heavy rainy season, after September is the small rainy season, and it is hot.But this kind of climate has brought a wealth of natural products here, or how to say that the black brothers are raised by the sky, and it is no problem to have a full stomach without hard work.

Zhang Xingming pointed to the woods in the distance: "Over there, there are plenty of fruits, bread trees, and coconuts if you are thirsty. If you want to live, there are so many houses, and there are no people there. You can choose whatever you want."

There were a total of [-] people on the island, and the two boats took them away. At this moment, only Zhang Xingming and his group were left on the entire island.

Everyone laughed, Tang Xin thought for a while and said, "I'll smash some coconuts." She called Zhang Qisheng and Wang Honghua to go with him.There are even other people here, not to mention how safe it is, they can move freely.

Still struggling, the divine light of the great god covered his head thickly and vigorously.Looks like it will take a few more days.Ask for a subscription, ask for a ticket.Where is the reward?Where is the ally?Desperately need a boost.

Chapter 883 Bata

Everyone walked around within sight. Zhang Xingming talked about his development ideas, and then the material ship arrived. They will build a temporary living area here for workers and engineers to live and rest.

After having a working meal on the island and making arrangements, Zhang Xingming and his party boarded the ship and set off.

Prince Edward Island is close to Equatorial Guinea in the east, more than 200 kilometers away, Baxi is [-] kilometers across the west sea, and Nigeria is [-] kilometers away in the north.If you want to build on Prince Edward Island, you must have a transit base on the nearby mainland, and the only option is Equatorial Guinea.

The purpose of Zhang Xingming and his party is Bata.

Equatorial Guinea was still one of the poorest regions in the world in 89. Oil had not yet been discovered, and the per capita annual income was US$300.In fact, even in 96 when the oil was developed, it is still one of the poorest regions in the world, with a per capita income of 23000 US dollars, but the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the upper few. Although the income of ordinary people has increased, more than half of them are still living in poverty. on-line.

Equatorial Guinea is a very interesting country. Its territory is composed of a small piece of the mainland and several islands in the Atlantic Ocean. However, the closest piece of Sao Tome and Prince Edward Island does not belong to it. Sao Tome is included.

And its capital, Malabo, is at the northernmost point of Bioko Island.Bioko Island is close to Cameron in the Gulf of Guinea, only [-] kilometers away, but it is quite far away from its own land territory, close to [-] kilometers.

Bata, where Zhang Xingming is going, is the largest city in Equatorial Guinea, as well as the economic center and the seat of the National Assembly.

Bata, next to the sea, is the only large city in Equatorial Guinea, with an area of ​​more than 70 square kilometers.Looking far away from the sea, there are densely packed small houses, and the roofs of blue, red, gray, and brown are messily put together.

There are no obvious roads in sight, and the city hardly has any planning. It is built randomly, walks randomly, and walks along random paths.

However, compared with Sao Tome and most African countries, this place is quite prosperous, and there are more green trees. It is the most lush vegetation in the African continent. There are only Gabon, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo and Equatorial Guinea on the African continent. This country has lush vegetation, many trees, and forests, and then goes south to north like a gradual change from green to yellow to red, turning into a desert and arid area.

Like all African countries, the medical conditions here are extremely poor. In 89, there were less than [-] medical practitioners in the country. More than [-]% of the country's population could not receive medical treatment for diseases, and more than [-]% of the people could not drink tap water.

International aid to Equatorial Guinea began intermittently in the mid-80s and was not normalized until the end of the 90s.Almost all the roads in the territory are gravel roads and forest roads. The only 70 grade asphalt roads were built with our assistance. After the establishment of diplomatic relations in [-] years, we built several major roads and hydropower stations for it, and continued to send medical staff The team went to Bata and Malabo to work, until now, there are almost [-] batches.

At present, there is no decent wharf in Bata, and the wharf and coastal area of ​​later generations were built by the World Bank in 02.

The boat docked slowly, and there was a market on the shore. Several thin black children stood on the rocks by the sea and looked at the boat in a daze.The biggest difference between Equatorial Guinea and most poor areas in Africa is that people here wear clothes, which is really good.You said a woman standing shirtless in front of you, do you look at it or not?She is black and female too.

Do you guys know what it's like to double translate?Zhang Xingming realized it now. The translator he brought over first translated the local Spanish dialect into English, and then Su Yan and Xu Xiaoya translated it into Chinese. God knows how much of the meaning can be preserved.

A group of big-eyed black cute kids followed the group of people not far or near, saying that the eyes are really big when people are so thin.

The president of Equatorial Guinea, Ngama, was a military dictator. In 79, he overthrew by force and executed the brutal dictatorship of his uncle who single-handedly promoted him. He became the second president of Equatorial Guinea and led Equatorial Guinea until the year Zhang Xingming came back. , further back, and further back. He was re-elected at the age of 16 in 74, and it is estimated that he will work until his death.

His personal ability is still quite strong, and his attitude towards western developed countries is neither humble nor overbearing. Under his leadership, the economy of Equatorial Guinea once took off in the 90s, but basically it was the dictatorship that made profits, and the lives of ordinary people did not get too much. Big improvement.

Ngama received Zhang Xingming and his party at the Parliament Building in Bata.

He was wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a purple, white, and purple striped ribbon, making him look black and shiny.Very serious.

The meeting between the two was very interesting. There were a lot of translation stations, and Ngama prepared Chinese, English and French translations.French is a second language here.

The two sides chatted nonchalantly for a while, and Ngama began to ask Zhang Xingming why he came.He has always had a good relationship with us. He has met many Chinese people, but he is a bit confused about Zhang Xingming, the Chinese Baron John.

"I bought Prince Edward Island and plan to build a manor there for vacation." Zhang Xingming directly stated his intentions: "I need to obtain a piece of land in Bata to build a transit base, a material transit base."

"Prince Island? I know it, I've been there when I was young, it's a beautiful place. What do you want to build? A Chinese manor? Small bridges, flowing water, winding rivers, fake mountains? You bought the whole island?"

"Yes, the entire Prince Edward Island. I want to build a manor, a park, a beach, a holiday villa, and a port. In the future, it will be a holy place for rich people all over the world to vacation, and Bata will become Transfer station."

"What will you build in Bata? Bata is also a beautiful place, with hardworking people and rich products, but it is very poor here. You can see that my people are not living happily. They need the help of friends. "

"I'm not familiar with Bata, I'm here for the first time, it may take a little time. I'm a businessman, I'm happy to invest anywhere as long as there is a return, I have invested in many countries around the world, the local The people work, the government collects taxes, and I earn profits."

Engama licked his lips, frowned after listening to the translation, thought for a while and said, "Excuse me, Your Excellency Zhang, what kind of business do you work in?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Mining, heavy industry, automobiles, energy, ports and terminals, banks, hotels, shopping malls, manufacturing, real estate, businessmen, you can do it if you are interested. Who would think too much money?"

Engama thought for a while and asked: "If there is a piece of land, for example, that can be brought to you to build one, what? A transit base, then how would you use it?"

Chapter 884 Engama

Zhang Xingming said: "It depends on the size of the land and its value."

Engama nodded his head with his hands: "It's up to you, imagine. It's enough."

Zhang Xingming said: "It needs to be big enough and be close to the sea. I need to build a material warehouse. Building an island is not a trivial matter, and a huge amount of material is needed. Then there are aprons, docks, workers' rooms, restaurants, and security facilities.

If the place is big enough, I will build a villa area along the coast and build a hotel, which will be convenient for tourists who come here in the future. They can take a rest here and have a look.Believe me Ngama, this will bring you income.

You can build a regulated market on my side and let your people trade freely in it.And you, you just need to maintain order, ensure fair transactions and, collect taxes. "

Ngama said, "Villas and hotels? Permanent?"

Zhang Xingming nodded and said: "Of course, including this material base, I also hope that it will be permanent. My island is there, and I will always have a place to stay here. This will be a permanent transfer point for the purchase of living materials. Stand together, partner."

Ngama is interested: "Are you going to keep purchasing?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Of course we must continue to purchase. My island is not only the manor where I live, but also bathing places, parks, and entertainment facilities. I want to make it a place that can attract rich people from all over the world to come and relax. , hotels, various venues, I will need a lot of living materials, living materials for thousands of people."

Engama leaned back on the chair, looked at Zhang Xingming with one hand rubbing his chin, thought for a while and said, "So, what do you want to build the hotel in Bata? What will it be like?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Above four-star, or higher, it depends on the actual situation. The minimum is four-star. Can you build a tall building here? Twenty floors, is there any geological problem?"

Ngama said: "The hotel in Bata, can we build it together? I mean, can I become a shareholder?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Of course, except for my island, you are welcome to invest in all investments here. There are still many places worth investing in here in Equatorial Guinea. I also have a lot of spare money. It depends on the final decision. Uh, your Excellency's attitude. For example, in what areas can we cooperate? To what extent?"

Ngama thought about it and said, "We need hospitals, we need roads, we need bigger airports, we need power plants, we need clean streets and big houses, we need beautiful harbors and marinas, you see, things that work together There are many."

Zhang Xingming said: "But your Excellency, what you said is what the government should do. Big investment with little return, or, in other words, no return. The funds needed are estimated to be able to buy Bioko Island. What can I get?"

Ngama said: "Your Excellency will gain the friendship and sincere friendship of the people of Equatorial Guinea."
