Chapter 1241 The situation in Africa

"Come on, square and round, this is Uncle Song, this is the fat uncle one by one, one by one...

Fatty Ma and others had seen Zhuang Rui's children, but they were still in their infbed. The two little guys were not afraid of life. They gathered around Uncle Song, but when they looked at Fatty Ma, they stopped their mouths. This uncle is not fat?

Fatty Ma reached out and picked up the two little guys, looked at Zhuang Rui dissatisfiedly and said, "What's the name of Uncle Fat, Uncle Ma, Zhuang Rui, am I still fat now?"

"No fat, no fat, I said Brother Ma, I was just about to ask you..."

When there were many people at the airport, Zhuang Rui was embarrassed to ask. Now he seized the opportunity and asked with a smile, "Brother Ma, did you go to help Africa this time? Did you see that the African people are not having a good time and give up the delicious food to the African brothers? Why... why are you so thin?"

You know, until now, Zhuang Rui still can't believe that Fatty Ma is the person in front of him. He can't connect the person in front of him with the former Fatty Ma.

Fatty Ma's height is not tall, almost more than 1.7 meters, but the original weight of nearly 300 catties made his neck, waist, limbs and other organs assimilated with the body, the whole spherical object.

However, now Fatty Ma has completely changed a person, all the fat has disappeared, and his fat face has become thinner, and he looks much more energetic than before.

It's just that when he was at the airport, even if Song Jun told Zhuang Rui that this was Fatty Ma, Zhuang Rui was stunned for a long time. If Fatty Ma hadn't said the situation when they first met in Tibet, Zhuang Rui couldn't believe that the fat brother was standing in front of him.

Not to mention that Zhuang Rui didn't believe it. When he was transferring at a foreign airport, Fatty Ma almost couldn't get on the plane. In the end, if Song Jun hadn't found a relationship, the [China] embassy abroad would have issued a certificate, and the buddy would have been exiled overseas.

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Fatty Ma said with a depressed face, "Don't ask me. If I knew why I lost weight, I would have opened a weight loss center..."

As long as he knew Fatty Ma before and had not seen him for more than a year, the first sentence he said was similar to Zhuang Rui, but Fatty Ma really didn't know the reason.

After going to Africa, although the people have been in peace for the past two years, as the main representative of China, Fatty Ma is a little wronged. He eats mountains and sea delicacies, and Miss Africa is playing, but I don't know why the fat has slowly decreased.

At first, Fatty Ma was also very scared. He was afraid that he would have a terminal illness. He quickly went to a famous hospital in the United States for examination, but he did not have any symptoms. Those world-class experts could not tell the reason.

Knowing that he was not sick, Fatty Ma also calmed down. In the past two years, his weight has changed from more than 140 kilograms to the current 160 catties, and the whole world has changed.

"Is there such a thing? So the weight loss centers in China have organized obese people to travel to Africa?

Zhuang Rui was stunned to listen to Fatty Ma's words, which is the gospel for obese people. "If only living in Africa can have this effect, I'm afraid that fat people all over the world can lift up the African economy.

Fatty Ma shook his head and put the circle in his arms on the ground. "There was a trace of pride on his face. "I think it's beautiful, but except me, no one else is useless..."

Among the people who went to Africa to set up a company, there are also people whose tonnage is similar to that of Fatty Ma, but their weight in recent years is not small, and only Fatty Ma is special.

It's hard to buy old and thin. Although the fat brother is only in his forties, it's also a good thing to lose weight..."

Scientists can't get the result, and Zhuang Rui doesn't want dead brain cells on it." At the moment, he turned around and asked, "Brother Song, Brother Ma, what's going on with our African mining company? You won't get nothing, will you?"

It has been three years since the establishment of an African mining company. At that time, Zhuang Rui spent 20% of the money. Originally, he thought it was an old hen that could lay golden eggs. Who knew that a few years had passed, but he didn't see a penny of income.

Although Zhuang Rui does not value money very much, it is billions of funds instead of dozens of yuan. It is also all Zhuang Rui's family capital in those years. It is enough to hire a foreign mercenary regiment to subvert those small African countries.

In the past, when talking about these things on the phone, Song Jun and Fatty Ma were both vague. Now that they have returned to China, Zhuang Rui wants to ask clearly. Although everyone has a good relationship, their own brothers are clearly settled, right? You can't let your buddy buy a house and smash the money to be wasted, can you?

"Do you still remember this public school?"

Fatty Ma rolled his eyes with dissatisfaction when he heard the words. Last year, when he went to the United States to see a doctor, he wanted Zhuang Rui to go to an African company. This guy excused in every way, and finally disappeared.

"Cough, Brother Ma, aren't I busy? We agreed at the beginning that I only owned the shares and didn't care about the business. It's not my fault. Zhuang Rui really didn't know that Fatty Ma asked him to go last year because he wanted to see a doctor. When he said that, he was really a little embarrassed.

"You boy, I'm also convinced of you. Don't ask if you throw billions of dollars into it casually. My old horse doesn't have that courage..."

Fatty Ma shook his head and then said, "The political situation in Africa has been unstable in recent years. The country we signed the agreement has changed two governments. In addition, it also involves several countries in Congo. In the past few years, it has been a coordinated relationship..."

Thinking about the experience and experience in Africa in the past few years, Fatty Ma also shook his head repeatedly and explained the form of Africa to Zhuang Rui, who was confused.

As the last continent in the world to achieve political independence, Africa is undoubtedly a huge piece of cake in the eyes of world powers.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Western countries implemented a multi-party [people] system in Africa, advocated the implementation of private ownership in the economy, and linked economic assistance to economic restructuring according to Western standards.

At the same time, the great changes in the international situation (the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the great changes in Eastern Europe, etc.) have also brought a strong impact on Africa, leading to the intensification of some original political, economic, tribal and religious contradictions in Africa, resulting in some national political instability.

Liberia, Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and other countries were trapped in civil strife, while Ethiopia and Eritrea fought wars that lasted for more than two years due to the border issue.

Although the situation in Africa has improved since 2000, due to historical reasons and various complex internal and external factors, peace and stability in Africa have been disturbed from time to time, and some local conflicts still exist.

Especially in recent years, the land crisis has broken out in Zimbabwe, the border war between Egypt and Eritrea has been rekindled, the Congo conflict has been delayed for a long time, and the peace process in Sierra Leone has been seriously frustrated, all of which have had a certain impact on the regional situation.

Unfortunately, in troubled countries and regions in Africa, it is within the mine field invested by Zhuang Rui and others. There is no stable political situation, and it is almost impossible to develop the economy there.

Just like the small African country where Fatty Ma is located, he has changed its regime twice in two years. Behind the scenes are the Western powers behind it. It has evolved from a local ethnic conflict to a secret war between major powers. The reason is, of course, the rich underground strategic minerals of that country.

Imagine that when a new regime comes to power, if he doesn't recognize the agreement signed by the old government, the investor can't help it. Others are sovereign countries, and they can't send troops to fight, right? Then we can only do it behind the back and then support the new government.

[China] The country is not as kind as it seems. Taking advantage of the good relations with the African people in the middle of the last century, it has mastered the situation in several conflicts, but the mining plans of mining companies invested by Fatty Ma and others have been delayed again and again.

So he is different from Zhuang Rui's Xiaoyao in China, but Fatty Ma has been under great pressure in recent years. Among other things, almost all his domestic property has been invested, and even the starting coal mine has been mortgaged to the bank.

Although the Song family is taking care of, the coal mine will not be taken back by the bank, but Fatty Ma's life is not very good. Now his trouser pocket is cleaner than his face, and he really can't take out a penny.

If Africa doesn't work for a day, it will cost a day's expenses. Even the Song family has invested a lot of money in it. If it continues, even the huge thing of the Song family may be dragged down.

"Damn it, are we going to contribute to the African people? The money is all over, and the mine is not allowed to be mined?"

Zhuang Rui was also a little anxious after listening to Fatty Ma's introduction. Do you dare that he has been engaged in infrastructure construction for more than three years? And the roads and ports have been built, but they can't be mined. Isn't the previous investment of 120 billion yuan all wasted?

Fatty Ma patted Zhuang Rui on the shoulder, with a trace of fatigue on his face. He said, "Now the situation is relatively clear, and it can be mined next month. The early investment will soon be recovered..."

"Oh, what are you two doing when you come back? The construction is about to start. Don't you want anyone to sit in the town?"

To be honest, what Zhuang Rui said was a little brainless, which made the two overseas wanderers who almost didn't become black brothers listen to their ears and immediately burst away.

"Damn it, do you have any conscience? Damn, I didn't come back even after my son got married. As soon as I started work, I have to stay there for several years. How dare you complain when I go back to my country?

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Fatty Ma was really annoyed. Even Song Jun was not worried and stared at Zhuang Rui with an unkind face. If Zhuang Rui dared to say anything heartless, the two brothers would definitely beat him up.

PS: Kavan, the outline of the next stage has been done for a day, and I'm always dissatisfied. Brothers, give me strength to break through the bottleneck.
