In the VIP rest area of the capital airport, Zhao Guoyang was talking in a low voice with Bao Anjun, director of the African Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and Zhang Zheke, vice president of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade.
As the head of the "Africa Trip" trade and investment promotion delegation, Bao Anjun had a comprehensive understanding of the members of the delegation before he set off.
Among them, the two deputy heads Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Zheke are, of course, the objects of Bao Anjun's attention.
If you want to talk about Zhang Zheke, Bao Anjun is still more familiar, after all, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade itself is under the supervision of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
As for Zhao Guoyang Zhao, a researcher with many titles, Bao Anjun has never dealt with him.
Although I have heard the leader Yao Gang, the director of the European Department Sun Zhi and others in the ministry mention the ability of this researcher Zhao many times, they have not seen it in person after all.
In addition, Zhao Guoyang is too young, so subconsciously, Bao Anjun still has some doubts about his ability.
Before boarding the plane, Bao Anjun was also very happy to be able to talk a few more words with his deputy and get to know each other.
Zhao Guoyang didn't know that Chief Bao questioned him, and he was expressing his opinions on this trip to Africa.
"Director Bao, although we have passed through many countries on this trip to Africa, it should be focused," Zhao Guoyang tilted his head and asked Bao Anjun.
Hearing this, Bao Anjun nodded appreciatively and said, "What Researcher Zhao said is right.
China and many countries on the African continent maintain good diplomatic relations.
But if every country stays for a while, that short fifteen days will not be enough. ” "So, this time, our trade and investment promotion team is only going to visit six countries.
Among them, the focus is on three important countries in the eastern, western and southern parts of Africa."
After Bao Anjun finished saying this, Zhang Zheke on the other side was curious: "Director Bao, which are the three important countries?"
Bao Anjun did not rush to answer Zhang Zheke's question, but turned his head to Zhao Guoyang and smiled: "Researcher Zhao, I have been listening to Director Sun Zhi say that you know a lot about the human geography, history and culture of countries around the world. ” "I think the route set by our ministry for this visit, even if we haven't notified everyone yet, we shouldn't be able to hide it from you."
Hearing that Director Bao seemed to have his own intention to take the school, Zhao Guoyang said abruptly: "Well, Director Bao, I'll guess it casually."
If you're wrong, don't laugh. ” "No, it won't be just the three of us chatting casually, I just want to hear your views on African countries, Researcher Zhao.
To be honest, I often hear that several leaders in the department praise Researcher Zhao, and I am very much looking forward to your performance this time," Bao Anjun said with a smile.
When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he nodded, without the slightest timidity, and then began to analyze clearly: "Director Bao, President Zhang, I think so.
Since the name of our trade and investment promotion group is a trip to Africa, it is definitely going to run the major countries on the African continent. ” "Among them, as the most economically developed country on the African continent and the country with the highest national living standards, South Africa, the second largest economy in Africa, will definitely go to our trade and investment promotion group."
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 middle power, and it has maintained significant regional influence.
Such a country, China's trade and investment promotion mission is certainly not to be missed.
Zhao Guoyang can guess this, and it is also a matter of course.
Just as Bao Anjun bowed his head slightly, Zhao Guoyang's narration continued.
"South Africa has a well-developed financial, legal, communications, energy and transportation industries, with a complete hardware infrastructure and a stock exchange market.
Industrial technologies such as deep well mining are also in the leading position in the world, and their rich mineral resources are also world-famous. ” Zhao Guoyang said: "According to what I have learned, South Africa has proven reserves and mined more than 70 kinds of minerals.
The reserves of gold, platinum group metals, manganese, vanadium, chromium, silicon and aluminate rank first in the world, of which gold reserves account for 60% of the world. ” Turning his head and smiling at Zhang Zheke, Zhao Guoyang continued to speak: "Such a country full of gold, President Zhang will definitely not miss it." ” After listening to Zhao Guoyang's story, Zhang Zheke couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Guoyang's all-round understanding of South Africa has gradually faded the suspicion of Chairman Zhang in his heart.
After making fun of Zhang Zheke, Zhao Guoyang continued to talk about his judgment.
He said calmly: "In addition to South Africa, Nigeria in West Africa, the largest economy in Africa, we will definitely go there." ” "Although Nigeria's per capita economic level is much worse than that of South Africa, Nigeria's important economic position in the African region cannot be ignored."
"Nigeria is rich in natural resources and has proven more than 30 mineral deposits of commercial mining value, including natural gas, coal, bauxite, tantalite, 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 the strongest in Africa.
For example, the French car manufacturer Mark Company and the English truck manufacturer Bedford have set up branches in Nigeria. ” Zhao Guoyang finally concluded: "Therefore, if we want to further strengthen cooperation with African countries in manufacturing, Nigeria must go."
After Zhao Guoyang's eloquent talk, Bao Anjun couldn't help but look at him twice.
Indeed, Nigeria's international reputation is two or three notches behind South Africa's.
In the 90s, there were not many ordinary people in China who knew about this country, but with the influence of the World Cup, the name of the African eagle became more and more loud.
At present, this researcher Zhao not only knows that his understanding of Nigeria is not even much worse than that of his own director of the Africa Department, which is really shocking.
Just when Bao Anjun was full of emotion, Zhao Guoyang seemed to remember something, so he 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 exhibition on the African continent after the existence of the African Bauma Exhibition. ” "Director Bao and Chairman Zhang may also know that I have another identity this time, that is, a representative of the non-governmental foreign economic and trade organization.
S Construction Machinery Group Co., Ltd. and Xingtai International Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. also have the same type of products and need to be recommended to African countries. ” "So, if there are no special circumstances, I hope that our delegation will be able to participate in this exhibition on time."
Zhao Guoyang's statement made Bao Anjun's appreciation of him increase a few points.

The head of the delegation nodded happily and said: "Researcher Zhao, you can rest assured, you have airlifted two construction machinery and equipment this time, and I, the head of the delegation, can still turn a blind eye."
"Besides, your two pieces of equipment occupy nearly half of our total air freight, and the key is free, and I have to point to you to help us earn air freight."
"Haha" Listening to Bao Anjun's jokes, Zhang Zheke couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, Zhang Zheke couldn't help but ask Zhao Guoyang: "By the way, Researcher Zhao, what kind of exhibition is the African Bauma Exhibition you just mentioned?"
Zhao Guoyang explained: "Bauma Africa is the largest engineering, building materials, machinery and vehicle equipment expo in Africa.
It's a pity that there is a conflict between the timing of its holding and our trade and investment promotion team.
So, I can only sigh with hope."
Zhang Zheke nodded knowingly, and muttered: "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 glanced at Zhao Guoyang with a smile and said, "Researcher Zhao, which do you think it will be the last key country we visit on this trip?"
"Ethiopia in East Africa" Zhao Guoyang opened his voice without the slightest hesitation, "Although Ethiopia's industry and economy are underdeveloped, it is the largest animal husbandry country in Africa, and the suitable land accounts for more than half of the country's land. ” "Because it has the most developed animal husbandry on the African continent, our domestic agricultural and forestry machinery and fire-fighting equipment have a very promising market prospect in Ethiopia."
Zhao Guoyang said with confidence: "Such a promising market to be developed, our trade and investment promotion team must not miss it" After listening to Zhao Guoyang's reasoned and well-founded analysis, Bao Anjun couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"Researcher Zhao, it seems that there is indeed no vain under the fame, your level, even if you come to our Ministry of Foreign Trade as a director, it is more than enough."
Zhao Guoyang didn't expect this Director Bao to say such words that recognized him, and he was humble at the moment.
In fact, there is another reason why the importance of Ethiopia has been elevated to such a position, and Zhao Guoyang has not said that many areas of Ethiopia are very suitable for the use of "all-terrain vehicles".
Due to the sparsely populated land and many plateaus, transportation in Ethiopia has always been a big problem.
Traditional means of transportation, such as cars and motorcycles, are struggling there.
However, the "all-terrain vehicle" is the most suitable means of transportation to adapt to complex road conditions.
This time he had the opportunity to visit Ethiopia to inspect the market, and of course Zhao Guoyang wanted to analyze the potential of this market on the spot.
The sound of the radio reminding the boarding came, and the conversation between the three heads of the regiment could only come to an end.
After this conversation before boarding, whether it is Bao Anjun or Zhang Zheke, there is no longer any doubt about Zhao Guoyang, the young deputy head of the regiment.
The two of them even had some faint expectations in their hearts, wanting to see what kind of excellent performance this researcher Zhao would have after seeing the African continent
