Chapter 1002: Chinatown
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs formally wrote an article to report to the National Property Academy and reported to the national leaders. The National Property Academy then instructed several departments to form a working group to start handling the matter. The process will not be detailed here.
From beginning to end, the leaders did not pay much attention to the aid to build a national-level TV station in Djibouti. The main instructions were focused on how to carry out publicity work in Africa. From form to details, from taboos to content that needs to be preached, they all had serious instructions, but they only signed the word "consent" for assistance.
In the eyes of leaders, aiding to build a TV station is really not a big deal.
Rows of snack stalls were built next to the beach of Djibouti. Chinese chefs were already in place, Djibouti's publicity work was done, with 30% more foreign tourists than usual, and Djibouti people also poured in, and the Chinese Culture Month officially began.
The taste of the food is fragrant. People swim in the sea, or play volleyball and football on the beach. After having fun, they go to the food stall and have a nice meal. It's so good.
The entire Culture Month event was carried out simultaneously. The film projection team, led by the staff of the Djibouti government, went deep into the rural areas of Djibouti to play the video there.
In the city, the Chinese commodity market has occupied the original Djibouti market, which has been made cleaner and tidy, and all the goods sold are shipped from China. Many people come here to purchase, and some stainless steel pots and small appliances have become popular.
Women in Djibouti love beauty. Although they are like other Arab countries, they wear Arab robes when going out, also known as DiSdash. However, unlike the monotonous black, gray and white of Arab countries, Djibouti women's cloaks are more beautiful and colorful, with all kinds of colors, and they don't have to completely cover their faces with gauze scarves.
In the big show, Chinese silk products became popular because Djibouti women felt that there was no more gorgeous scarf than these Chinese silk products.
In the evening, in the center of Djibouti, there will be Chinese opera and martial arts performances for a month in a row. Of course, the Ministry of Culture sent a total of 5 groups, including Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera teams, and 2 martial arts teams.
Other forms of cultural month activities are also in an orderly manner. The entire activity suddenly made Djibouti live, making the originally stuffy and quiet Djibouti nights become vivid and colorful.
After the weaving art exchange activity, Counselor Yu Juan returned to the embassy and said to Mu Yang with a smile when he saw Mu Yang: "Ampress, after the weaving art exchange, Minister Abudi of Djibouti told me that our Cultural Month activities have made Djibouti a lot of fun, and the number of tourists has increased by nearly 50% compared with the same period in previous years. He hopes that in the future, the combination of Chinese food, commodities, culture and local tourism in Djibouti can be established."
Mu Yang smiled and said, "Don't listen to Abudi fooling you. We are doing this in China because of the loss of money. Many things are sold at low prices with shipping. Aren't the invited performance groups all your Ministry of Culture paying for? Of course he is happy. I'm not that stupid. I support him once a year."
Djibouti Minister of Culture, Communications and Posts and Telecommunications Abudi Hussein Ahmed and Mu Yang are very familiar with each other. They were promoted by Odova after he came to power. Although the old man is black and thin, he is smart. He has also studied in the UK and has a high degree of education.
"Of course I can't do anything to lose money anymore, but I think this kind of communication can still be continued. Perhaps it would be good to build a Chinese street in Djibouti." Mu Yang said.
Counselor Yu Juan's eyes lit up after hearing Mu Yang's words. Chinatown is considered a famous brand in China in foreign countries. If Djibouti could have such a street, it would definitely be the best publicity for China.
Counselor Yu Juan immediately became excited, "Ambassador, your idea of China Street is great. If you build a China Street in Djibouti, it will become the first official China Street in Africa. And there will be a large number of Chinese people here in the future, as well as our military base. This is also an important port in Africa. It is too necessary to build a China Street."
Mu Yang just mentioned it casually, but he didn't know that he was caught by this elder sister again.
"Ambassador, I think only you can do this. If you can't do it, no one will do it. With your relationship with President Odova."
Mu Yang looked at Counselor Yu Juan in a daze, feeling that he had heard this several times. Suddenly Mu Yang realized that he had been used by this elder sister, and he used a few words to trap him, praised him violently, and then forced himself to do this.
Moreover, these sentences are all about Djibouti cultural development, including this Cultural Month, Chinese TV channels and other things.
This Sister Yu has a deep routine.
"Sister Yu, you, the cultural counselor sent by the Ministry of Culture, have never forgotten your roots. You will not give me any effort to do cultural undertakings." Mu Yang smiled and said to Counselor Yu Juan.
"Ambassador, I have no selfish intentions. I am all for work and for China's development, right? In fact, with your relationship with President Odova, I am right. Why don't you do more at such a good time? You said yes." Counselor Yu Juan said with confidence.
If someone uses righteousness to talk about things, what else can he say? Isn’t work just to use all conveniences to overcome all difficulties and achieve his goals? Sister Yu’s approach is right.
"Okay, I remember this, and go back and ask President Odova."
"There is nothing that the ambassador can do when he takes action. Anyway, you have nothing that you can't do yet."
"Sister Yu, I will praise me again and go to heaven."
Both of them laughed after saying that.
That night, Mu Yang called Odova and asked about the situation in the country, especially the situation of the army.
Djibouti has a total force of about 3,000 people, of which 1,200 people in the army, formed an artillery regiment, a border defense force and an armored company. The navy has 60 people. The air force has 100 people and an air base. There are also 120 military police and 1,400 people in the National Guard.
The National Guard is the president's direct defense force, and the commander was replaced and promoted by Odova himself after he came to power. There is no problem with this loyalty.
The navy and air force can be said to be useless. What Odova is more worried about is the army. After all, President Gale has been in power for 10 years and has been deeply rooted. Although Odova has changed the commander of the army, it is difficult to ensure that the officers below will have any abnormal movements.
