Congo Gold.
Presidential Palace.
Waite has been enjoying a smooth run lately, with everything going well. Financial problems have been effectively alleviated, and the security in the capital, Kinshasa, has been unprecedentedly good with increased police force.
Heavy-handed approach.
Sent many people inside.
Many people want him dead.
However.
Even more people want him alive. At this mont, he feels that most of the chaos cos from employnt issues. Without jobs, young laborers are left idle, and naturally, trouble arises.
Therefore.
Aside from security.
Employnt.
Has beco the word that occupies his mind every morning when he wakes up. Although even if there are jobs, many might not behave honestly, as long as people have choices, things are much easier.
Being lazy is not a problem.
Low efficiency isn’t a major issue.
But disrupting the peace.
Is unacceptable.
After more than a year of effort, the economic data for the second quarter of Congo Gold in 2008 is very promising. Although the overall situation has not fundantally changed, this is a good beginning.
No way to fix everything at once.
Take it slow.
Step by step.
He believes that during his term, he can effectively change the situation in Congo Gold. If possible, he certainly hopes to be re-elected, or even and the constitution to serve multiple terms, which would be even better.
If the achievents are great.
It’s not impossible.
"Industrial and Comrcial Park?"
Like South Africa.
Seeing the plan and the sudden visit from ERV, Waite was a bit puzzled. When did you, the United States, beco so considerate of African countries? It seems like you’re being compelled.
As a country that has already tasted the benefits of such parks.
Waite understands very well.
Such things are almost impossible for locals to accomplish. Only foreign influential capital involvent can truly support it, technology, funding, African countries cannot do these.
The success of Wanqing Industrial Park is due to Tang Qing and Huaxia’s capital. Without Wanqing Mining, Huaxia Petroleum and Huaxia Petrochemical wouldn’t have co, and neither would have the subsequent power grid project.
At first.
They were very excited, wanting to learn.
However.
The project ended up barely surviving.
Becoming a joke.
Therefore.
Apart from Wanqing District, Congo Gold still doesn’t have any other successful parks. Being the first to taste the crab, Waite is very tempted. If this succeeds, it would be another achievent.
"You haven’t just approached us?" Waite asked.
"Yes."
The ERV person nodded.
Waite thought indeed, "Who else?"
"South Africa, just this morning, they said they would consider, and when I entered your esteed residence, they expressed willingness to sit down and talk. Next, we will approach other African countries."
"..."
Waite was speechless.
Impressive.
ERV indeed.
Visited South Africa in the morning and dared to co to him by noon. If it were another company, to show respect, they would take at least two days, but you not only did it in one day but in the sa morning.
It’s almost noon now.
Didn’t have lunch.
Also consider it morning. This is the confidence of the consortium. Ordinary enterprises and groups wouldn’t dare, and generally, states follow procedures, but consortia operate outside the rules and can have privileges.
This South Africa.
Really lacks backbone.
Already showing signs of agreent in one morning. ERV probably didn’t lie. Thinking of this, Waite suddenly understood South Africa’s notion, probably not wanting to fall behind Congo Gold.
While showing sincerity.
Otherwise.
Discuss for ten days to half a month.
People could have had a child.
ERV isn’t without temper!
"We also need to research a bit."
"Alright, let us excuse ourselves then."
"Hmm."
The ERV people left, and Waite didn’t take a break, directly asked soone to send food to the office, and began to carefully study the clauses within them. Compared to South Africa’s ’lack of experience’, too many things.
Waite, however, felt there was hardly anything to discuss.
Back then.
Concerning Wanqing Industrial Park’s operation mode and taxation, policies, support, etc., they held long discussions and studies, very well aware that these supports were indeed necessary.
Not one less.
ERV had no overbearing clauses.
Design.
Construction.
Operation.
Rewards.
...
All within reasonable scopes.
Nothing too outlandish, their purpose is just this loan, along with the subsequent rewards and operation managent fee. No unequal clauses or infringent on sovereignty.
anwhile.
He also saw ERV’s other goal.
— Maintaining reputation.
Since ERV’s project is started, it cannot fail, that’s why they have the five two operation modes.
Waite didn’t think it was lengthy.
On the contrary.
Felt it was too short.
Five years.
Passes in the blink of an eye, so things one isn’t good at handling, just let others do it, it’s the right path, like Wanqing Industrial Park has done, without steelmaking technology, it’s fine if others have.
Taxation and benefits.
Congo Gold is the greatest beneficiary.
Therefore.
Whether five years or ten, Waite doesn’t care, the longer, the more potential support from ERV. Thinking of this, Waite had made his decision, see if ERV could extend the ti a bit.
In the short term.
Congo Gold doesn’t have the industrial and comrcial capital appeal of ERV.
Powerless authority.
What’s the use of holding onto it?
It feels really fortunate, as soon as he took office, he caught Wanqing Mining coming in with Tang Qing, facilitating the formation of the United Power Grid Company, effectively solving Congo Gold’s electricity coordination issue.
Let electrical developnt face no regional shackles.
Then.
A pie fell from the sky.
Myanmar last year gave Congo Gold 150 billion Asia Dollars in commodity and project loans, and this year, the amount is 300 billion Asia Dollars. In 2008, the purchasing power of 300 billion was extrely good.
Highways.
Railways.
A big stroke.
Build.
With commodity loans, they’ve beco bold, can’t buy military equipnt, but civilian products aren’t restricted, waving cash to massively update Congo Gold’s governnt office equipnt at all levels.
Everyone has a phone.
Five people a computer.
Twenty people a car.
Life has beco prosperous, and now ERV has co.
Tsk tsk.
Thinking about next year’s loans being no less than this year’s, Waite couldn’t help but smile wide. He’s not afraid of debt, with so many resources underground, pay with mines when short of money, it’s not a big deal.
Myanmar doesn’t lack, but Huaxia needs.
Huaxia wants.
Then they can pay the loan according to the contract, completely convenient. It seems this trade paradigm bypassing the dollar system made the European and Arican consortia restless.
...
The entire afternoon.
Regarding the projects in the Industrial and Comrcial Park, under Waite’s hosting, the eting passed with full votes. With ’Wanqing District’ experience, they easily understood the clauses, not much to discuss with ERV.
Soone giving money, providing projects.
Take it.
No matter what, it won’t be worse than now. Wanqing Mining attracted Huaxia’s capital, ERV attracted European and Arican capital, and at the end of it all, Congo Gold would not be left out of the benefits.
On the other side.
South Africa.
Over so trivial issues, they were still arguing all sorts of concerns, worried that any clause might make them suffer loss. To this, ERV’s representative said calmly, "Congo Gold has agreed to all terms."
