Zhao Guoyang narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the harvester of the "Kubota" brand on the jeep.

Kubota Group, a famous agricultural machinery manufacturer in the island country, was founded in 1890 and has a history of more than 100 years.

As Asia's largest agricultural machinery manufacturer, Kubota Group has been continuously expanding its business in all aspects around the world, including Asia, America, Europe, Oceania, etc.

As far as Zhao Guoyang knows, even in the 1990s, Kubota had at least 120 subsidiaries and 20 affiliated companies around the world.

Its products in agricultural machinery, small construction machinery, small diesel engines, cast iron pipes and other fields have always been at the forefront of the world.

Originally, in Zhao Guoyang's impression of his previous life, Kubota's business in Africa should not have been so early.

But now that he saw Kubota's products in Ethiopia, Zhao Guoyang felt a little alert.

This time, Zhang Yufang bought a batch of agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment from the "Hongda Machinery Factory", with the purpose of trying the African market.

With Zhao Guoyang's vision, although the performance of these "lawmowers" and "harvesters" from their "Hongda Machinery Factory" cannot be as good as European and American brands, they are still competitive enough in the African continent.

The reason is very simple. Compared with Jessebo and "Jianglu" and other giants in the agricultural and forestry machinery industry, the products of "Hongda Machinery Factory" have some extraordinary advantages in price.

Due to the limitations of their own economic strength, the vast majority of African brothers are not very different in the quality of agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment, the first thing they look at is the price.

Another point is that China and many African countries have close ties, and there are many support teams to assist the African continent.

Among these support teams, there are professionals who repair and maintain mechanical equipment.

When purchasing Chinese companies' products, they have a natural advantage in repair and equipment maintenance.

After considering these factors, Zhao Guoyang then made the decision to transfer goods from the "Hongda Machinery Factory".

But now that Zhao Guoyang has seen similar products from the island country "Kubota", a powerful competitor, in Ethiopia, he has to pay more attention.

Compared with companies like "Jessebo" and "Jendeer" that focus on large equipment, Kubota's agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment is lighter and smaller.

Although the performance may be a little inferior, it is relatively cheaper.

In this way, the price advantage of the products of "Hongda Machinery Factory" has been greatly weakened in competition with "Kubota", which is a problem that Zhao Guoyang has to consider.

Of course, just seeing this "harvester" does not prove that "Kubota" has made any arrangements on the African continent, and it may be that this is a product bought by a certain farmer himself from overseas.

But no matter what, Zhao Guoyang's enthusiasm for selling his "Hongda Machinery Factory" has increased even more.

...

Although it is the capital, the area of ​​Addis Ababa is really not satisfactory.

After the jeep was opened for more than ten minutes, there was only a vast vast prairie left around.

In the driver's seat, Hao Renyi, the major military officer at the Military Attendant Office of the Embassy in Ethiopia, drove meticulously, dodging the potholes hidden on the grassland from time to time.

It can be seen that Major Hao has a very rich experience in walking this path, and he can almost subconsciously avoid many obstacles.

"Well, we'll arrive in less than five kilometers! How about it, are you tired of sitting in a seat with Teacher Zhang?"

Seeing a three-story building that was already vaguely visible in front of him, Tang Xiaolin turned her head and said with a smile.

"Not tired or tired! This kind of road conditions can drive so smoothly. Major Hao's driving level is very powerful!" Zhao Guoyang said with a smile.

After hearing Zhao Guoyang praise him, Hao Renyi quickly said a few polite words.

This Major Hao doesn't talk much, but he is still easy to get along with. Unlike ordinary military officers, who don't say anything except doing things, they are just stupid.

After driving for a while, the Jeep arrived at this farm called "Niuto Mountain".

Seeing the three big words "Niuto Mountain" written crookedly at the entrance of the farm, Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang couldn't help but chuckled.

Tang Xiaolin naturally understood what the two of them were laughing at, and then smiled and explained: "We are a martial arts fan. The farm we rented for us gave us this name... Okay, let's not say more, let's go in and visit him, let's talk to him yourself."

The roar of the jeep motor had already reached the farm, and in a short while, a worn Ford truck drove out of it.

"Counselor Tang, you and a few distinguished guests have arrived so soon? I just told the servants to ask them to buy some beef and mutton..."

In the truck driver's seat, a middle-aged man with a little curly hair and slightly dark skin said with a smile.

Seeing that it was him, Tang Xiaolin smiled and introduced it to Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang.

"Researcher Zhao, Teacher Zhang, this is Mr. Deng Datong, the owner of our 'Niutoushan' farm."

"People Deng, these two are what I told you, two important members of our China-Africa Trade and Investment Promotion Group. This is Researcher Zhao Guoyang and Zhao, the deputy head of the delegation. This is Professor Zhang Yufang and Zhang..."

"Ah, Researcher Zhao, Teacher Zhang, hello you guys!"

Deng Datong got out of the car happily and shook hands with Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang respectively.

"People Deng, we are here today and I'm disturbing you!" Zhao Guoyang greeted with a smile.

"Hey, Researcher Zhao is so kind. There are quite a few people in China who are engaged in various jobs in Ethiopia. My farm has friends visits once or twice a month."

"You can come to me and talk about my hometown, but I can't welcome you!"

Walking side by side with Deng Datong on the road to the farm, listening to his story about his farm, Zhao Guoyang nodded with interest from time to time.

"Researcher Zhao, Teacher Zhang, you should see it on the way from Addis Ababa. The geographical location of my area is still very good, located between Addis Ababa and Djibouti, a country along the Indian Ocean coast of the East Africa."

"The altitude here is more than 600 meters and the average temperature is less than 40 degrees. In Ethiopia, it is a relatively cool place. The most important thing is that there is also a river here with abundant water sources and is very suitable for vegetable cultivation."

After hearing this, Tang Xiaolin next to him nodded in agreement, looked at Zhao Guoyang and introduced: "Boss Deng is right. In the past two years, many Chinese companies have undertaken the construction of ports and many large-scale projects in Djibouti, as well as Djibouti Free Trade Zone."

"The products of Boss Deng's 'Niutoushan' farm can be transported to the capital Addis Ababa without any obstacles, or can be sent abroad without any troubles to Djibouti. In terms of transportation, it is very convenient!"

After Deng Datong and Tang Xiaolin introduced him, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said, "Boss Deng chose to build this farm, which is naturally perfect. However, judging from the environment I saw just now, there are some hidden dangers here."

Zhao Guoyang turned around and pointed to the desolate grassland outside the farm and said, "This area is already located on the edge of the grassland, and its ability to regulate climate is relatively weak. Once a sandstorm is encountered, the losses will probably be serious."

After Zhao Guoyang said this, Tang Xiaolin and Deng Datong were both stunned.

The two of them never thought that Researcher Zhao could come to such a conclusion just by looking at it a little on the road.

In fact, Deng Datong's 300 acres of vegetable-planted land just suffered a severe sandstorm last year, and 90% of the vegetable seedlings in the entire farm were bruised and bruised by the crazy wind and sand.

Soon afterwards, almost all the vegetables on the farm died, and the losses were very heavy.

Seeing this boss Deng's heartbroken look, Zhao Guoyang knew that he had guessed it right.

He smiled comfortably and said, "The losses caused by this bad weather are irresistible by manpower, and this is not your fault, Boss Deng. However, as long as you take some appropriate preventive measures, it is not difficult to reduce the losses..."

After Zhao Guoyang said this, Deng Datong's eyes lit up.

He didn't know why the other party was called a "researcher" at such a young age. Now, after listening to his story, he subconsciously regarded the other party as a biological researcher.

So Deng Datong asked for advice impatiently: "Researcher Zhao, what should we do to avoid the losses of the farm? Please give me some advice!"

Zhao Guoyang said "ah" and waved his hands repeatedly, "Boss Deng is so kind of saying this. They are all Chinese. If you can help, you will naturally help."

When Tang Xiaolin next to him heard this, she secretly praised Zhao Guoyang in her heart, looking straight at the other party, wanting to see what this researcher Zhao could do.

Facing the inquiring eyes of Tang Xiaolin and Deng Datong, Zhao Guoyang told his thoughts in a casual manner.

"Boss Deng, I think you have lived in Africa for a long time. You must have heard of a very wonderful plant here - Baobab, right?"

"Ah? I've heard of it!"

Deng Datong nodded hurriedly when he heard this.

Tang Xiaolin also smiled and said, "Researcher Zhao is really knowledgeable, and he even knows this!"

After hearing the two of them, Zhang Yufang, who was standing behind Zhao Guoyang's side, couldn't help but curiously said: "Baobab tree? What is that? Is it useful?"

After hearing Zhang Yufang's questions, Zhao Guoyang explained with a smile: "On the arid tropical savanna in Africa, a big tree with a strange shape grows - the name is the Bobabu tree. Since many monkeys and Arabian dog-faced baboons on the African continent like to eat their fruits, people call it the 'baobab tree'."
