Chapter 831 President Invitation
The two of them turned into twenty-one, and the air ticket turned into a chartered flight. A few hours later, the plane headed towards the mysterious and rich Africa.
However, not long after the takeoff, a beautiful flight attendant came to ask for instructions half-kneeling: "The air traffic control has just been heard from Frossaya. I hope Mr. Bramble and Master Pingtian, you will stop in the capital of Frossaya first. Their President, His Excellency Magari, wants to meet you."
Yasuhira was a little confused: "His Excellency President?" Is Africa so magical, can all dandy groups who eat, drink, bet and gambling be treated as state guests?
Jing Jian was not surprised and ordered the flight attendant to say, "The captain should stop in the capital of Fthoyah first. Then reply to Fthoyah: We will be honored to accept the invitation."
This is actually reasonable. Imagine that if famous foreign entrepreneurs visit China, they will basically be received by national leaders. Not to mention that poor African countries like Frossoya have very few foreign leaders or entrepreneurs, and there may not be many in a year. No wonder they attach so much importance to it.
The flight attendant left a graceful back and walked towards the cockpit. Jing Jian joked to Hirata Yasuhiro: "Haita, don't be surprised, don't forget that you are already a big shot or an outstanding young man in Japan. You are qualified to be received by the presidents of small African countries."
"Oh?" Hirata Yasuhiro immediately became energetic and obviously took it seriously, "Yes! Haha! Then I must perform well and work hard at that time!"
"Work hard!", "Come on!"...
...
Hirata Yasumi's group of friends became also excited. Japan's national character is more concerned about the group, pays more attention to collective honor, and is also very proud of face. So stimulated by the "good news" of the huge increase in face, Hirata Yasumi and the others quickly entered the depraved carnival mode again. However, some time ago, amid the "buzzing" of the engine, Hirata Yasumi and the others fell asleep one after another.
In fact, among the nineteen people of Hirata Yasuhiro, there were only eleven real friends and female companions, and the other eight were nanny groups composed of followers, bodyguards, etc., and there was even a accompanying chef.
In the nanny group, there was actually a Jing Jian’s old acquaintance, Lai Guangwenlang. Jing Jian called Lai Guangwenlang to his side and prepared to exchange a few greetings to save the boredom during the journey. However, Jing Jian was surprised that Lai Guangwenlang had already collected a lot of information about Fsauer.
"...Sorry, Mr. Bramble. Due to the rush of coming, I only asked my friends from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and colleagues in charge of African affairs. Since Frosauer is not the focus of African affairs, the information collected is not very complete."
Even though he had a disgust towards the book in his previous life, Jing Jian was still secretly admiring it at this time. He had to admit that in the few hours he arrived in Paris, Lai Guangwenlang could obtain detailed information. The efficiency of the Japanese consortium in this era is indeed very high.
Of course, domestic companies cannot do this. Japan is just a consortium disguised as a state-owned consortium. It is natural for consortiums to use state-owned instruments to serve themselves. Even if Chinese companies are state-owned enterprises, they cannot command the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to serve themselves, right?
After taking the information, Jing Jian thanked him and then slowly read it. Some English information was fine, while some Japanese information needed to be explained by Lai Guangwenlang around him.
Frossoya is located in Central Africa, that is, the sub-Saharan region. In the international community, this term has almost become synonymous with poverty and backwardness. The country's area is 345,087 square kilometers and the total population of the country is 18.6 million. The per capita GDP is only a mere US$187, which is less than US$200.
The largest city in Frossaya is the capital Bilosi, which concentrates nearly 20% of the country's population, with a population of more than 3 million. The second largest city is Helan, which is also a large city with over one million. The wealth and economy of Frossaya are basically concentrated in these two cities. In addition to a railway connecting these two cities in the country, only these two cities have international airports. Of course, by international standards, these two international airports are only small branch airports of third-tier lines.
The social situation of Fosoya's ethnic religions and other social situations is quite complicated and cannot be accurately divided. It may be that the same ethnic group but different tribes are hostile to each other; it may also be that different ethnic groups and the same tribe live together in harmony. Moreover, the internal division of Fosoya is quite serious, and the degree of centralization is very low. In the local area, there are basically warlord forces with tribes as the main body.
"Oh? President Magari is not the representative of the big tribe?" Jing Jian suddenly discovered a strange place from the information.
"That's right, sir." Lai Guangwenlang explained with a smile, "After the overthrow of the former president, the major forces in Frossoya were fighting for domestic rights, and they were stalemate between them. His Excellency Magari grew up in the United States and graduated from American universities. Behind him, European and American countries, especially the United States, were supported by European and American countries. He and his wife were both from the two most powerful tribes in Frossoya, and were famous for their reputation in Frossoya. They advocated the idea of elites negotiating the country and were more likely to be supported by various factions."
Jing Jian nodded thoughtfully and thought to himself: "It turns out that President Magari is a product of compromise. It has a lot of symbolic significance and does not have much rights. Of course, since it was elected and recognized by the international community, he is nominally the supreme leader of Frossoya. And he still has considerable rights through his own tribe."
So Jing Jian asked Lai Guangwenlang: "So which party does Helan City belong to? Does it belong to President Magari?"
When Jing Jian heard of the warlord separatist situation, he felt that Foxoya was taking jujube pills. No wonder after discovering the coastal oil fields in his previous life, Foxoya's entire country would be a mess and war continued. However, Jing Jian was not interested in being a savior. No matter what future he would be, as long as he could protect his rights and interests in Helan City!
"The situation in the capital Bilosi and Helan is quite special. The government has greater power and no tribe can monopolize these two cities. It can only be said that there are various nearby forces jointly in charge, and the situation is more complicated."
"That is to say, President Magari has a certain influence?"
"It can be understood this way, but the expectations cannot be too high. Especially in Helan City." Lai Guangwenlang nodded with a smile, "His Excellency Magari's order has a role in Helan City, but it may not be as effective as the local mayor. After all, the mayor of Helan City can obtain the support of nearby tribe armed forces."
"That's right? Oh, thank you!" Jing Jian nodded, it turned out to be an African version of the regime coming out of the gun.
