Guo Chu and Bai Tongxi discussed for a long time and decided to find another time to visit the chief of the Gola Tribe.
Guo Chu also prepared for both sides. At the same time, he contacted Pengyun Machinery and wanted to modify the design of the construction machine.
"Increase the safety of the construction machine?" Pengyun Machinery Co., Ltd. Chief Mechanical Engineer Dongfang Hao saw the new design request and snorted, "How dare they doubt the performance of my design. With the power of the Atlas Arm, it can even overturn a tank!"
"Mr. Hao, they want to ensure the safety of the pilot and prevent theft of the machine. The security of their place is not good … Besides, they are not going to war. "His subordinate reminded him softly.
"Okay, then increase the strength of the metal shell and the glass. The mechanical arm, hmm, make it into a combat mode, it is quite interesting! " Dongfang Hao's interest was piqued. He had always wanted to make the Atlas Arm as strong and powerful as the real Autobot.
His subordinate was sweating and emphasized again, "Mr. Hao, if the design is too powerful, we will not allow it to be sold!"
These days, Dongfang Hao had been stirring up a lot of trouble. Some of the machines he designed were not made by the people in the factory because some of them could be classified as military equipment.
"Did I say that you designed a weapon?" Dongfang Hao smiled and said, "I just changed the Atlas Arm to be more flexible and added a few more operation modes."
…
Nigeria, Kaduna State, a small black tribe, the Gola tribe.
Guo Chu and Bai Tongxi brought bodyguards and gifts to visit the chief of the tribe. On the way, the local introducer introduced the "rules" of the tribe to Guo Chu so that he would not offend the chief.
"The chief's full name is Henry Markul Tuamayanana Jorman Piani …" Through the translation software, the translation of the chief's name was long, and there were more than 40 syllables in it.
"You can just call him the Honorable Chief Henry." The introducer said.
"Hmm." Guo Chu nodded and asked, "Is there anything taboo?"
"No, Chief Henry lived in France for many years, as long as you follow the international etiquette, it will be fine."
Guo Chu knew the international etiquette, so he was relieved. He was most afraid that the chief here had some messy rules that he could not handle.
Along the way, Guo Chu also observed the scenery of the Ghola tribe. There were more than thirty villages under the jurisdiction of the Gola tribe. Half of the South China Construction Group's construction projects were in contact with these areas. In addition, the mining land of the Huaxia Mining Group was also under the management of their tribe.
Guo Chu discovered that most of the villages in the Gela tribe were very poor. The dilapidated buildings were even worse than some of the remote villages in China. Although they weren't so poor that they didn't have enough clothes to cover their bodies, the living conditions of the villagers were very poor. No wonder there were so many people who stole and robbed.
However, when they reached the village where Gora lived, the situation was obviously different. It was like another world. Tall buildings of reinforced concrete, neat streets with gardens and flowers, star hotels, and high-end restaurants. It was like a highly developed tourist town.
Bai Tongxi explained, "Most of the wealth in this town belongs to the chief. Look, how rich would he be in China?"
"Hmm, the Ghola tribe actually has such a good place!" Guo Chu exclaimed. The poor village he had seen before was in stark contrast to this place.
"A good place?" Bai Tongxi snorted disdainfully. "This is a trap! The last time we came, we were really screwed over. The cost of accommodation and food is simply astronomical! "
"When I asked around, those merchants knew that we're Chinese, and we don't have any accommodation. So they purposely charged such a high price. If we're English or French, it would be much cheaper. "
"There are some Europeans here!" Guo Chu also noticed that there were some Caucasians in this town.
"In the past, England and France colonized Africa. So Africa is greatly influenced by colonial culture. They're learning from Europe. Many English and French multinational companies have great influence in Africa, and the treatment they receive isn't something that we can compare to. "
When they arrived at Henry's residence, it was a luxurious villa with all sorts of modern facilities. Before they entered the villa, there were even bodyguards to check their cars and belongings. Furthermore, there were also many Caucasians in the villa.
A tall French butler came to welcome them and said, "Chinese friends, Mr. Henry is already waiting for you in the guest room. Please come with me."
In the guest room, Guo Chu met Henry. Henry was in his fifties this year. Unlike those sallow and emaciated villagers, he had a big belly. He was wearing a luxurious silk robe with beautiful jewelry on his neck, wrists, and fingers. His whole body was full of jewelry.
The two of them greeted each other briefly and presented the gifts that Jing Xin had prepared. Henry just glanced at them and didn't care about the gifts that were worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Finally, they talked about the construction of the project.
Guo Chu said, "Mr. Henry, the reason why Zhongnan Construction Group is building on your land is to help your land develop better. With roads and railways, the transportation here will be more convenient … "
Henry was expressionless and said as if nothing had happened, "This is your business. It has nothing to do with me."
Guo Chu and Bai Tongxi looked at each other. Bai Tongxi said, "Mr. Henry, we're here with sincerity. Recently, some people have been disturbing our construction site and robbing our equipment. We hope that Mr. Henry can help us maintain law and order. "
Henry played with the jewelry in his hand and said in English, "Maintaining law and order is the police's business. I can't do anything about it. But if you destroy the natural environment of my tribe because of the construction, then I can do something about it. "
The two of them felt very embarrassed. This Mr. Henry didn't intend to be nice to them at all.
At this time, the French butler next to the Mr. Henry said, "Two Chinese friends. I heard that Chinese people are very particular about etiquette. Our Mr. Henry also respects your etiquette very much. I think our Mr. Henry is also very willing to help you. "
His insinuation was very clear. Chief Henry wanted more favors.
Guo Chu and Bai Tongxi were very unhappy, but they didn't show it. The benefits they gave last time were already a big loss. If they gave more, they would be building at a loss and working for others for nothing.
"Mr. Henry, I think our sincerity is already very clear. We're here to do construction, and we've already provided a lot of materials to the Gola Tribe for free. " Guo Chu restrained his temper and said, "I hope we can understand each other. We'll also seek help from the state government regarding the security issue."
