On the first day of coming to South Africa, the Trade and Investment Promotion Group immediately started working mode.

After the welcome banquet at noon, Director Bao took everyone to comfort the local Chinese businessmen in South Africa and held a symposium with them.

Chinese businessmen in South Africa were very excited about the arrival of the delegation and were very enthusiastic.

At the symposium, after Director Bao and Ambassador Zhu Mingyang delivered speeches, a burst of warm applause rang out in the conference room.

Bao Anjun told everyone about the purpose of the delegation's "trip to Africa" ​​and expressed praise and affirmation to the Chinese businessmen who worked hard on the African continent and promoted Chinese culture.

Subsequently, Sun Jiadong, president of the South African Chinese Business Association, also made a speech on behalf of the Chinese businessmen.

After thanking the motherland for its concern for local Chinese businessmen, Sun Jiadong talked about the current living conditions of Chinese businessmen in South Africa over the years.

Basically, the black brothers in South Africa are still very friendly to Chinese people and are willing to work in factories and shops opened by Chinese businessmen.

But one problem that cannot be ignored is that South Africa is still in power, and blacks have little say.

If Chinese businessmen want to gain a foothold in South Africa, they must deal with some white people in power in South Africa.

Because these Dutch and English-Chinese descendants in South Africa have always regarded themselves very highly, dealing with them is actually not an easy task.

Sometimes, it takes a lot of effort for Chinese businessmen to get a pass that is obviously very simple.

Even if there are some of the following non-white management affairs, Chinese businessmen will encounter obstacles if they want to pass through without any obstacles.

The reason is very simple. If you don’t "mean" the person who does things, they won’t take you seriously.

Most of the Chinese businessmen who came to South Africa to make gold have just started their careers and no one is giving advice in the local area, so they naturally have to take more detours than others.

In contrast, businessmen from China's Baodao and Xiangjiang have done better in this regard.

In addition to communication issues, the laziness and untrustworthiness of most black people also make Chinese businessmen very uncomfortable.

Obviously, what they had agreed to during the recruitment period would break the contract at will, and even go to other factories and shops with higher prices to work.

Such things are common. Every year, the Chinese Business Association receives hundreds of complaints.

Under the influence of so many negative factors, the situation of Chinese businessmen in South Africa can be said to be difficult.

If it weren't for the rich material life here and the public security was reasonable, I'm afraid that everyone would have retreated in a hurry.

After listening to the complaints of the Chinese business representatives, Bao Anjun and Zhang Zheke looked at each other and both looked at Zhao Guoyang with hope.

Obviously, there is no way for them to solve these issues mentioned by Chinese businessmen, so they can only turn to Zhao Guoyang for help.

On the other hand, several leaders of the embassy looked at Zhao Guoyang at the same time, with great expectations for him.

Just as everyone was looking forward to Zhao Guoyang, he was secretly recalling the upcoming changes in South Africa in his memory.

According to my memory before my rebirth, in 1992, South Africa and China should have not yet established diplomatic relations.

It was not until five years later, three years after the legendary black president of South Africa came to power that the two countries formally established diplomatic relations.

However, due to the confusion of time and space, the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in this life was several years ahead of schedule.

However, the black president, who is highly respected internationally, is still dormant for the time being and has not shown his ability or strength.

South Africa is still in the "golden time" of white rule.

Yes, in Zhao Guoyang's memory of his previous life, the country of South Africa actually took a downhill path after ousting the whites from their dominance.

In the following twenty or thirty years, South Africa gradually became a country other than the third-rate country from Africa to the top 30, and gradually became a country other than the third-rate.

Its economic level has been retreating again and again on the African continent, falling from the first place to the third place.

This has more or less something to do with the political changes in South Africa.

In this life, although the situation in South Africa has not changed significantly, the keen Chinese businessmen still feel some changes that may come.

This is probably what they worry about the status quo.

Since the crux of the problem has been found, Zhao Guoyang has a rough idea of ​​how to appease these Chinese businessmen and help them find a future.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao..."

Just as Zhao Guoyang combined his memories of his previous life and was thinking about the problem, Zhang Yufang next to him gently touched his arm awkwardly.

There was no way, being watched by so many people, Zhang Yufang felt a little restless, so she could only "awaken" Mr. Zhao beside her as soon as possible so that he would not be dazed anymore.

After coming back to his senses, Zhao Guoyang immediately understood when he saw the gaze around him - it was his turn to speak.

Seeing that Researcher Zhao had recovered from his "sleepwalking" state, Bao Anjun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He made a "invitation" gesture to Zhao Guoyang and said, "The country understands and cares about the difficulties of Chinese businessmen. Next, regarding this issue, I would like to ask Researcher Zhao, the deputy head of our delegation, to give you an answer!"

After Bao Anjun finished speaking, Zhu Mingyang, Zhang Botao and others from the embassy were the first to applaud.

Chinese businessmen who were already skeptical of Zhao Guoyang, saw that these leaders were so serious, and they became more expectant of this young man.

After Director Bao finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang first made a "sorry" gesture and explained to everyone: "Sorry, I just thought about how to help everyone solve the current problem, and I was a little fascinated!"

After his explanation, Zhu Mingyang, Bao Anjun and other bigwigs all showed relief on their faces.

With Zhao Guoyang's guarantee, everyone naturally had full confidence in him and believed that he could find a solution to the problem.

Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment and continued to speak: "Before I tell my point of view, please allow me to briefly analyze the economic, social system and other aspects of South Africa."

"First of all, South Africa is an economic powerhouse with a relatively developed economy, a perfect industrial system, and even close to the middle level of Europe and the United States."

When everyone heard Zhao Guoyang’s remarks, they nodded and agreed.

Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment and continued to speak: "Secondly, compared with the mature political system of European and American countries, South Africa is relatively lacking in this regard. Due to the long-term apartheid policy, the conflict between whites and blacks in South Africa is very serious, and it has even reached a point of inconsistent."

"In recent years, the comparison of domestic political forces in South Africa has gradually tilted towards blacks. We have reason to believe that the day when South Africa abandons apartheid and fully opens up in the future is already predictable..."

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, several leaders of the embassy over there were stunned.

As staff members of the Chinese Embassy in South Africa, Zhu Mingyang and others naturally have a very good understanding of the political status of South Africa.

The situation in South Africa is now in turmoil, and everyone sees this.

It is precisely because of the chaos in the political situation that many Chinese businessmen are a little worried about the situation in South Africa.

Then today's opportunity for this symposium, Chinese businessmen half-spokenly consulted the delegation from their motherland for some business and trade matters. To put it bluntly, they were asking the country's opinions on the situation in South Africa.

Now Zhao Guoyang pointed out the most important issue directly from the nail on the head. Such vision and foresight are really admirable.

After a moment of silence, Sun Jiadong, president of the South African Chinese Business Association, nodded and said, "Researcher Zhao's analysis is very accurate and shows his level. I wonder if you can give our Chinese Business Association a clear instruction. What should we do in the face of the turmoil that may come at any time in South Africa?"

After hearing President Sun asked this question, the Chinese businessmen nodded and agreed.

Indeed, everyone's concern for the situation in South Africa is because it will affect their own business.

If Zhao Guoyang could give a certain information on this matter, then everyone would naturally have a clear idea.

As everyone was looking forward to it, Zhao Guoyang smiled slightly and said, "In my personal opinion, the alternation of new and old regimes in South Africa is inevitable."

"In the latest two or three years, the rule of white people will definitely be ended..."

After hearing Zhao Guoyang give such a positive answer, a sigh came from the Chinese businessman.

Speaking of which, from the perspective of sympathizing with the weak, everyone is still very supportive of the black people in South Africa overthrowing the white rule and thus turning the tables.

However, in business.

Although there are minor problems with the economy and business order under the rule of white South Africans, they are still very good overall.

With the stability of the political situation and good public security, the safety of Chinese businessmen can also be guaranteed.

If this were replaced by black people as the leader, everyone was actually very worried about whether they could maintain their current management level as usual.

If the situation in South Africa changes, Chinese businessmen may face much more problems than they are now.

Now that this researcher Zhao has pointed out this point, is it because he wants everyone to make plans early and prepare to withdraw their investment and return to China?

Thinking of this, Sun Jiadong and other Chinese businessmen looked a little sad.

After barely tidying up his emotions, Sun Jiadong squeezed out a smile and consulted Zhao Guoyang: "Researcher Zhao, we know what you mean. Since the situation in South Africa has changed, it is already the general trend and cannot be redeemed. Should our Chinese businessmen in South Africa make plans to evacuate in advance?"

"You also know that the evacuation of some factories takes a long time. One or two years in advance may not be ready..."

After Sun Jiadong finished speaking, a group of Chinese businessmen fell on Zhao Guoyang with bright eyes, wanting to hear what this researcher Zhao had.
Chapter completed!
