In the VIP lounge area of ​​Capital Airport, Zhao Guoyang, director of the Africa Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and Zhang Zheke, vice president of the China International Trade Promotion Committee, were talking in a low voice.

As the leader of the trade and investment promotion group on this "Travel to Africa", Bao Anjun had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the members of the group before leaving.

Among them, two deputy commanders Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Zheke are of course the focus of Bao Anjun.

When it comes to Zhang Zheke, Bao Anjun is still familiar with it. After all, the China International Trade Promotion Committee itself is under the supervision of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

As for Researcher Zhao Guoyang and Zhao, who hold many titles, Bao Anjun has never dealt with him.

Although I have heard from the head Yao Gang, Director of the European Department of Europe and others many times in the department mention the ability of Researcher Zhao, I have never seen it myself.

In addition, Zhao Guoyang is too young, so subconsciously, Bao Anjun still has certain doubts about his ability.

Before boarding the plane, Bao Anjun is very happy to be able to talk to his deputy and get to know each other for a few more words.

Zhao Guoyang did not know about Captain Bao’s doubts about him. He was expressing his own opinions on this trip to Africa.

"Director Bao, although we have many countries to visit this 'Africa trip', we should have a focus, right?" Zhao Guoyang asked Bao Anjun with his head tilted.

After hearing this, Bao Anjun nodded in appreciation and said, "Researcher Zhao is right. Many countries in China and the African continent maintain good diplomatic relations. But if each country stays for a while, that short fifteen days are not enough."

"So, this time our trade and investment promotion team is only preparing to visit six countries. Among them, the focus is on three important countries in eastern, western and southern Africa..."

After Bao Anjun finished speaking, Zhang Zheke on the other side was curious: "Secretary Bao, which three important countries are there?"

Bao Anjun did not rush to answer Zhang Zheke's question, but turned to Zhao Guoyang and smiled: "Researcher Zhao, I have always heard Director Sun Zhi say that you know a lot about the humanities, geography, history and culture of countries around the world."

"I think the visit route set by our department, even if everyone has not been notified yet, it should not be hidden from you, right?"

When Zhao Guoyang heard that Director Bao seemed to have the intention of taking the school exam, he sneered: "Uh, Director Bao, I'll just guess it. If you guess wrong, don't joke."

"No, no! We are just chatting with the three of us. We just want to hear your views on African countries by Researcher Zhao. To be honest, I often hear the praises of Researcher Zhao from several leaders in the department. I am very excited about your performance this time!" Bao Anjun said with a smile.

When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he nodded without any timidity. He then began to analyze with a concise and concise analysis: "Director Bao, President Zhang, that's what I think. Since our trade and investment promotion group is a trip to Africa, we must run all the major countries on the African continent."

"Among these, as the country with the most developed economy and the highest national living standards on the African continent, South Africa, the second largest economy in Africa, our trade and investment promotion group will definitely go."

The first name Zhao Guoyang said did not surprise Bao Anjun too much.

In international affairs, South Africa has long been identified by the international community as a medium power and maintains significant regional influence.

In such a country, China's trade and investment promotion group will definitely not be missed.

It was natural for Zhao Guoyang to guess this.

Just as Bao Anjun nodded gently, Zhao Guoyang's story continued.

"South Africa's finance, law, communications, energy and transportation industries are all very developed, with complete hardware infrastructure and stock trading markets. Industrial technologies such as deep well mining are also leading the world, and their mineral resources are also well-known in the world."

Zhao Guoyang talked freely: "According to what I have learned, South Africa has proven reserves and mined more than 70 minerals. The reserves of gold, platinum group metals, manganese, vanadium, chromium, silicon, and aluminate rank first in the world, among which gold reserves account for 60% of the world."

Turning his head and smiling at Zhang Zheke, Zhao Guoyang continued to speak: "President Zhang will definitely not miss such a country with 'gold everywhere'."

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's story, Zhang Zheke couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Guoyang's comprehensive understanding of South Africa has gradually faded the doubts that President Zhang had about him in his heart.

After joking about Zhang Zheke, Zhao Guoyang continued to talk about his own judgment.

He calmly said: "In addition to South Africa, we must go to Nigeria, the largest economy in Africa, in West Africa."

"Although Nigeria is much worse than South Africa's per capita economic level, Nigeria's important economic status in the African region cannot be ignored."

"Nigeria has abundant natural resources and has proven mineral resources with commercial mining value including natural gas, coal, bauxite, tantalum, gold, iron ore, limestone, tin, niobium, graphite and zinc."

"In addition, its manufacturing industry is also very developed in Africa. The three major industries of leather manufacturing, textile industry and automobile manufacturing are all the strongest in Africa. For example, the French Automobile Manufacturer Logo Company and the English truck manufacturer Bedford have set up branches in Nigeria."

Zhao Guoyang finally concluded: "So, if our trade and investment promotion group wants to further strengthen its cooperation with African countries in manufacturing, Nigeria will definitely have to go..."

After Zhao Guoyang's talk, Bao Anjun couldn't help but look at him twice.

Indeed, Nigeria's international popularity is two or three levels lower than South Africa.

In the 1990s, it was rare for ordinary people in China to know about this country, but with the influence of the World Cup, the name of the African Eagle became more and more popular.

At present, Researcher Zhao not only knows that his understanding of Nigeria is not even much worse than his director of the African Department, which is really shocking.

Just when Bao Anjun was filled with emotion, Zhao Guoyang seemed to remember something and added.

"By the way, six days later, the West Africa International Construction Machinery and Mining Machinery Exhibition will also be held in Nigeria. This exhibition is the second largest presence on the African continent after the 'African BMW Exhibition'."

"Director Bao, President Zhang, you two may also know that I have another identity this time, namely the representative of the Private Foreign Economic and Trade Organization. My 'SMS Engineering Machinery Group Company' and 'Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company' also have the same type of products and need to be recommended to African countries."

"So, if there is no special situation, I hope our delegation can attend this exhibition on time..."

Zhao Guoyang's statement increased Bao Anjun's appreciation for him a little.

The delegation leader nodded happily and said, "Researcher Zhao, don't worry! You have airlifted two construction machinery and equipment this time, can I turn a blind eye to it?"

"Besides, your two equipment accounts for nearly half of our total air freight. The key is that it is free. I have to point at you and help us earn the air freight fee!"

"Haha!" After hearing Bao Anjun's joke, Zhang Zheke couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Zhang Zheke couldn't help asking Zhao Guoyang: "By the way, Researcher Zhao, what kind of exhibition is the 'African BMW Exhibition' you just mentioned?"

Zhao Guoyang explained with a "uh": "African BMW Exhibition is the largest exhibition in Africa's engineering, building materials, machinery and vehicle equipment. It's a pity that its holding time conflicts with our trade and investment promotion group. So, I can only sigh..."

Zhang Zheke nodded with some understanding and murmured: "Researcher Zhao, you have done a much better job in this preparation than me. It's not simple, it's not simple!"

When Bao Anjun heard this, he smiled and glanced at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Researcher Zhao, which one do you think will be the last key country we visited?"

“Ethiopia in East Africa!”

Zhao Guoyang said without any hesitation, "Although Ethiopia's industry and economy are not developed, it is Africa's largest animal husbandry country, and its suitable pasture land accounts for more than half of its territory."

"Precisely because it has the most developed animal husbandry industry on the African continent, our domestic agricultural and forestry machinery and fire-fighting equipment have a very considerable market prospect in Ethiopia!"

Zhao Guoyang said confidently: "We must not miss such a market to be developed with a promising prospect!"

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's reasonable and well-founded analysis, Bao Anjun couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Researcher Zhao, it seems that 'there is no vain under the reputation'! Even if you come to our Foreign Trade Department as the director, it is more than enough!"

Zhao Guoyang did not expect that Director Bao would say such words that recognized him, and immediately became humble.

In fact, Zhao Guoyang has another reason why he raised the importance of Ethiopia to such a position, that is, many areas in Ethiopia are very suitable for the use of "all-terrain vehicles".

Because of the vast land and sparse population and the large plateau, transportation in Ethiopia has always been a big problem.

Traditional cars, motorcycles and other means of transportation are difficult to walk there.

However, "all-terrain vehicles" are the most suitable means of transportation to adapt to complex road conditions.

This time I had the opportunity to go to Ethiopia to inspect the market. Of course, Zhao Guoyang wanted to analyze on the spot what potential this market has.

The radio voice reminding the boarding plane came, and the conversation between the three chiefs and deputy chiefs could only come to an end.

After a conversation before boarding, whether it was Bao Anjun or Zhang Zheke, he no longer had any doubts about Zhao Guoyang, the young deputy commander.

The two even had some expectations in their hearts, wanting to see what outstanding performance this Researcher Zhao will perform after arriving in the African continent.
