After dinner.
Everyone sat in the pavilion, gazing at the night view of Algiers. With Europe to the north and self-produced oil, this city remained relatively prosperous.
There were many ancient buildings.
Once upon a ti.
This place was a French colony. In those years, during the war, after being thoroughly defeated, Algiers even beca a temporary capital of France.
The history is long.
...
The next day.
Morning.
Suleiman brought Tang Qing to a construction site located in the outskirts of Algiers. Originally belonging to the Budy Family, it was included in the partnership through equity investnt.
At this mont.
The factory’s initial shape was already visible.
Quite large.
Covering nearly three square kiloters.
"It is expected."
"In another two months, the construction of the factory area will be completed. With equipnt testing and trial operations, we will definitely be able to use it by October this year."
Beside him.
Suleiman said happily.
Hummingbird.
It was the second project he and Tang Qing collaborated on, attaching great importance, visiting almost once a week. The three square kiloters of land didn’t cost too much in valuation.
In February.
Proposed.
In March.
Signed the contract.
In April.
Construction began because it primarily consisted of factory area construction. As long as the materials were sufficient, the speed was faster than steel and concrete structures. Now only the roof welding remained.
As for the equipnt.
It had already been shipped from Huaxia to here.
"Hmm."
"Good."
"Not bad."
Tang Qing nodded.
In front of him.
It was the largest Hummingbird Warehouse in Algiers, and also one of the three core cabins. Algeria has a total of forty-eight provinces but only three large warehouses were built.
The reason being.
So provinces are simply too small. Algeria’s land of over 2.3 million square kiloters is about one-fourth of Huaxia’s, but its developnt is uneven.
To the south.
Lies the vast Sahara Desert.
Therefore.
Most provinces are in the north. The absolute majority of the population is also concentrated in the northern 400,000 to 500,000 square kiloters of land. How large is that?
Comparable to Huaxia’s Chuan Province.
So.
Three core cabins are completely sufficient.
In fact.
This core cabin does not have to be this large, but don’t forget Algeria’s geographical position—with Europe just across the sea to the north.
These days.
Hummingbird only had a European partner in Sweden. Thus, this core cabin in Algiers would also serve European custors in the future.
After all.
It’s too close.
Despite the limited number of custors.
However.
It’s not entirely absent. Many European companies want to sell things in Algeria. After witnessing its powerful logistics, so would undoubtedly cooperate.
Currently.
Many dostic companies are eager to roll up their sleeves, preparing to sell their goods globally via the Hummingbird Network, having prepared for this six months in advance.
Stockpiling?
No.
Procedures.
You can’t just sell abroad because you want to. For example, regarding food, it requires testing and filing with the other country’s food managent institution at the very least.
Obtain sales permits.
Afterwards.
It can enter for sale.
To this end.
Hummingbird specifically established a departnt to assist companies wishing to explore overseas markets in obtaining that country’s certificates. This period has been overwhelmingly busy.
This.
Also stimulated many companies to increase their innovation, because many products on the market are imitations of foreign companies, which theoretically constitutes a violation of the law.
Going abroad.
They would undoubtedly get sued.
Hence.
Sky Eye also joined in to help with preliminary screenings of so infringing designs. Regrettably, over half were suspected of infringent.
Suddenly.
Revisions.
Innovation.
Ca to them.
To this.
Tang Qing supported it. Our intelligence isn’t inferior. If core technology is difficult to research and develop, that’s excusable, but industrial design and external packaging design being copied?
How dull.
Such products, when going out, don’t make money but instead attract lawsuits. Why bother? To prevent ultimately blaming Hummingbird, they can only be eliminated in advance.
Now when looking.
The effect is quite good.
At least.
They start learning to use their brains rather than copying whoever they see, copying so precisely, completely disregarding intellectual property.
In the future.
Tang Qing hopes they will sue foreign companies, rather than becoming defendants themselves. The original intent of Hummingbird was to help Huaxia products better enter the world market.
Assist valuable enterprises to grow.
Deadweights?
Fine.
Then watch from the sidelines. This is also one way Tang Qing ’urged’ their growth. Sotis, it’s truly frustrating when the iron doesn’t turn to steel.
Sigh!
Just hope.
Many more valuable companies erge.
...
Afternoon.
Set off again, traveling with Ayman to Saudi. A rare trip—he insisted on inviting us to his ho. It’s on the way, so I didn’t refuse.
Soon after.
We entered Libyan airspace.
By the window.
Looking at this nation, Tang Qing sighed softly. Two years later in the previous life, this place will turn into a battlefield, bringing enormous damage.
Sigh-inducing.
To this.
There’s nothing much to comnt on.
Right.
Wrong.
There will be public judgnt.
And this.
Isn’t sothing Tang Qing wishes to see. Bear in mind, over these two years, this country bought more than fifty billion dollars’ worth of oasis, as the Gobi is quite aged.
Therefore.
The intention to continue purchasing is very strong.
Personally.
It’s heartbreaking.
Publicly.
If a fight breaks out and the United States freezes its funds, what happens to the balance we are owed? That’s a considerable loss. So, Tang Qing won’t sit by idly.
They want to touch my money.
No way.
...
An hour later.
Entering Egyptian airspace, looking down below, Tang Qing’s eyes softened because Egypt is also a major oasis custor, especially with a large second procurent.
Initially.
The first purchase was done with the intention of ’building a reputation’ from the authorities, doing a good deed, not expecting that this good deed could turn into profit.
Below.
This nation, relies entirely on a single river to survive.
—The Nile River.
Close to a hundred million people.
The vast majority live along the Nile, with land scarcity and a harsh environnt. Even with water, those continuous desert gobi cannot change.
Thus.
The authorities bought oasis, greening vast lands. Imdiately after, developers bought the land, turning it into neighborhoods, which sold like hotcakes.
Just like this.
Everyone discovered a business opportunity.
Afterwards.
-Authorities.
-Local.
Both funds began joining this cycle of ’buying oases - building houses - big sales’, while making money, it greatly changed the local landscape.
Win-win.
Based on estimates.
In the next three years, Egypt’s ’oasis’ purchases will exceed two hundred billion dollars, making it a quality custor, indeed becoming more pleasing to the eye.
...
Lastly.
Entering Saudi airspace, Tang Qing’s eyes narrowed into crescents. This is a super local tyrant, richer than Egypt beyond comparison, like a walking treasure vault.
Having experienced.
Buy.
Cash.
No lack of money.
The current king has already stated his intention to turn the capital Riyadh into a green city. Within thirty kiloters, as long as it’s empty land, it needs to be able to grow grass.
Attitude resolute.
Moreover.
Obtained unanimous support from Saudi citizens. Previously there was no way, having money was of no use. Now discovering that money works, they certainly wouldn’t be stingy.
