After the meeting, Yu Qingyang walked out of the base.

Outside the base, a market has already been formed.

Compared with the spontaneous market in the factory area, there is more management here.

The project department employs local people for management.

Mainly responsible for sanitation and market order.

The market here mainly sold goods to the base at first, and later gradually developed into a market for them to trade goods with each other.

Various fruits with no names, vegetables grown by the Berbers themselves, and fresh cattle, sheep, and camels.

There are also some wild game, antelope, red deer, wild ass, and some unnamed birds. At first, some people sold monkeys and lizards, but when they saw that the base didn't want them, gradually no one came to sell them.

Because the price of selling it to the locals is really not high, and it is better to go to the edge of the desert to find stones and wood than to go to the edge of the desert to catch monkeys and lizards.

Shitoumu is the local name, which means stone-like wood.

The construction site procurement department has been purchasing large quantities of petrified wood jade, and then transporting it back to China and selling it to furniture factories, which can also be regarded as an income generation for the project department.

There are many children near the entrance of the base. Some of them are adults working on the construction site, and some of them are selling things in the market.

They are all waiting for the leftovers from the construction site canteen.

Because of the temperature in Africa, leftovers cannot be kept and must be disposed of later.

So Chef Wang in the cafeteria gave these leftovers to the children at the door.

In the beginning, there were only six or seven children, but gradually it became thirty or forty, and sometimes there were fifty or sixty children.

I have to say that Chinese people are still very kind.

These children not only have leftovers to eat here, but some kind-hearted female workers also often give them water and even buy them some fruits from time to time.

The benefits of doing this are not without, and they are huge.

Several nearby tribes are very supportive of the project department. If a worker does a bad job and is punished, and if he wants to cause trouble, the leader of the tribe will deal with it first without the need for security guards to come forward.

Use a whip to drive away the troublemakers.

Therefore, although the Berbers near the oil town are still like most black people, they are lazy, ink-stained, and muddle along. After being paid, they buy food and go home, and then come back to work when they have enough to eat.

However, the local relations in the oil town are very harmonious.

This shows that although the Berbers are lazy, they still know how to be grateful.

"Lao Cheng, gather these children together, assign a translator, and teach them Chinese.

Change must start from childhood!

Maybe they can't learn much knowledge and can't become college students.

But as long as they can speak Chinese and know some Chinese characters, it will be fine.

Maybe in a few years, we will have an additional group of loyal and capable African workers!" Yu Qingyang smiled and explained to Cheng Yaozeng who was following him.

"Mr. Yu, this is a good idea. It doesn't cost much to teach these children Chinese, but it can make them, tribesmen, appreciate us, and it will be easier to manage in the future!" Cheng Yaozeng agreed with a smile.

"Well, call and ask Zhang Qiang to send a batch of children's clothes so that these children can have food to eat, clothes to wear, and books to read. What do you think their parents will do?

I guess even if you whip them, they won't leave!" Yu Qingyang laughed.

Poor parents all over the world, whether they are at home or abroad, or even in Africa, parents give the same selfless love to their children.

Of course there are a few irresponsible parents, but they are only a minority after all.

Most people are willing to devote all their efforts to their children.

…

Arriving at the construction site, at one construction site, a black man wearing a red management helmet was pinching his waist and loudly reprimanding a group of black people.

Seeing Yu Qingyang and his party, the black man quickly ended his lecture and ran over.

"Hello, Mr. Yu!" The black man greeted Yu Qingyang in Chinese.

The speaking speed is a bit slow, but pretty standard.

Yu Qingyang looked at it for a long time before he recognized it, "Are you a stone?"

"It's me, I'm Shitou!" Shitou was very excited when Yu Qingyang called out his name, grinning and nodding his head repeatedly.

"Hello Shitou! You speak Chinese well!" Yu Qingyang stretched out his hand.

Shitou wiped his hands vigorously on his clothes before excitedly holding Yu Qingyang's extended hand.

"Stone is the smartest and most capable of all African workers!

Now I am the team leader of the bricklaying class!" Ge Liang introduced from the side.

"Not bad! Shitou, you are already wearing a red hat!

I think we should start with Shitou, select a group of people like Shitou who can speak Chinese, are hardworking and capable, and sign long-term labor contracts with them!

If they can learn to write, they can be sent to China for training. As long as they work hard, it is not impossible to become project managers in the future!" Yu Qingyang smiled and patted Shitou's shoulder.

I drew a pie for the stone.

It is really possible to be a project manager, but the possibility is too small.

It's even smaller than Lao Ka's chance of defeating the machinations of the American emperor.

But, there is always an opportunity, right?

The chances of being a project manager are slim, but with hard work, it is still possible to serve as a department supervisor on a construction site.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu, I will definitely work hard!" Shitou kowtowed to Yu Qingyang while lying on the ground.

"Get up! Don't thank me. If you want to thank, you should thank yourself. Everything you get is the result of your hard work!" Yu Qingyang reached out and helped the stone up.

Kneeling down in Arab countries is a courtesy to God.

Kneeling down means offering one's loyalty to the person who is kneeling down.

"Without Mr. Yu and without the Chinese, I would have starved to death a long time ago! It was you who saved me. In the name of God, I will always be loyal to Mr. Yu!" Shitou knelt on the ground and said excitedly.

"Work hard! Tell them that as long as they work hard, they will have a chance!

Become a formal employee of the company in Africa and have the opportunity to move to a city in the future!

Children can receive a good education!" Yu Qingyang encouraged with a smile.

The stone was a flag he set up, and he used the experience of the stone to tell those Berbers that as long as they work hard, they also have the opportunity to become masters.

In Africa, being able to live in cities and have children receive education is a privilege only the rich have.

For ordinary people, if they have a few sheep or cows and can farm some land, they can ensure that the family does not go hungry all year round. Even if they are middle class, it is impossible for them to go to school.

When buying things in Africa, the measurement methods are also various. One watermelon costs 100 dirhams, and they don’t know how much two watermelons cost.

If you want to buy two watermelons, you can only buy one with 100 dirhams, and then buy another with 100 dirhams.

The method of trading in many places is even bartering. How large a pile of grain can be exchanged for a sheep, and how large a pile of grain can be exchanged for a cow. The two people who need to trade now discuss.

After walking around the construction site, Yu Qingyang got in the car and left, coming to the artificial lake project base.

"How is it? Are you all used to it?" Yu Qingyang asked with a smile.

"It's okay, most people can adapt to it, but a few people are a little acclimated and have diarrhea!" Zhang Zexian replied.

"Diarrhea is not a minor problem in Africa, so you must pay attention to it!" Yu Qingyang explained.

"They are all arranged separately in the ward of the infirmary, and they are always taken care of by doctors and nurses!"

"How are those students who have just graduated? Are their emotions still stable?" Yu Qingyang asked again.

The biggest difference between the artificial lake project and the oil town project is that there are many more recent graduates.

These newly graduated students are often unstable factors.

According to Yu Qingyang’s experience, fresh graduates often cannot adapt to the construction site environment and most choose to leave their jobs in the first week.

Whether they are suitable for the engineering field depends on their performance in the first month. If they can persist for one month, they will basically be stable, and the turnover rate will be greatly reduced.

Those who can stick to one construction site will basically have a very small chance of changing careers in the future.

Although these fresh graduates have been employed for more than three months, they have basically been training in the company during these three months.

It was my first time to go to a construction site, and I went directly to Africa, where the environment is harsh.

Yu Qingyang had long been mentally prepared. Within a month, more than half of the graduates would resign and ask to return to China.

Yu Qingyang originally proposed that all technical school students and technical secondary school students must go to Africa for three years of training in order to force them to resign.

The purpose is to make waves and kick out those who want to live in state-owned enterprises.

In later generations, large construction companies used this method to pan for gold.

From fresh graduates, we are looking for talents who are suitable for the company and can work in a down-to-earth manner.

However, they are more moderate than Yu Qingyang. They will recruit a large number of graduates and then sign contracts in the name of a labor service company.

Only those graduates who can persevere and are recognized will have the opportunity to sign a labor contract with the company.
