On the first day of coming to South Africa, the Trade and Investment Promotion Mission immediately started working mode.
After the welcome banquet at noon, Director Bao immediately took the big guys to visit the local Chinese businessmen in South Africa and held a symposium with them.
For the arrival of the delegation, the Chinese businessmen in South Africa are very excited and enthusiastic.
At the forum, when Director Bao and Ambassador Zhu Mingyang delivered speeches respectively, there was a round of warm applause in the conference room.
Bao Anjun told everyone about the purpose of the delegation's "trip to Africa" and praised and affirmed the Chinese businessmen who are working the African continent and promoting Chinese culture.
Subsequently, Sun Jiadong, president of the South African Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, also made a speech on behalf of the Chinese businessmen.
After thanking the motherland for its concern for the local Chinese businessmen, Sun Jiadong talked about the current situation of Chinese businessmen in South Africa in recent years.
Basically, the black brothers in South Africa are still very friendly to the Chinese, and they are also willing to work in factories and shops opened by Chinese businessmen.
But there is a problem that cannot be ignored is that South Africa is still in power by whites after all, and blacks have very little say.
If Chinese businessmen want to gain a foothold in South Africa, they have to deal with some white people in power in South Africa.
Because these Dutch, English white descendants in South Africa have always held themselves very high, and dealing with them is not an easy task.
Sometimes, it takes a lot of effort for Chinese businessmen to get a very simple pass.
Even in the following non-white-run affairs, Chinese businessmen will encounter obstacles if they want to get through unimpeded.
The reason is very simple, if you don't "mean" the people who do things, they won't take you seriously.
Most of the Chinese businessmen who come to South Africa to pan for gold are just starting out in their careers, and there is no one to guide them locally, so they naturally have to take more detours than others.
In contrast, the merchants of Baodao and Xiangjiang in China have done a better job in this regard.
In addition to communication problems, the laziness and untrustworthiness of most blacks also made Chinese businessmen very unaccustomed.
Obviously, when recruiting, these blacks will break the contract at will, and even go to other factories and shops with higher prices to work.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, and every year the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association receives hundreds of complaints.
Under the influence of so many negative factors, the situation of Chinese businessmen in South Africa can be said to be difficult.
If it weren't for the fact that the material life here is quite abundant and the security is reasonable, I am afraid that the big guys would have retreated in a swarm.
After listening to the grievances of the representatives of Chinese businessmen, Bao Anjun and Zhang Zheke glanced at each other, and they both cast hopeful glances at Zhao Guoyang.
Obviously, there is no way for the two of them to solve these problems told by the Chinese businessmen, so they can only turn to Zhao Guoyang for help.
On the other side, several leaders of the embassy also looked at Zhao Guoyang and had great expectations for him.
Just when everyone was looking forward to Zhao Guoyang, he was secretly recalling the upcoming changes in the country of South Africa in his memory.
According to his memory before his rebirth, in 92, South Africa and China should not have formally established diplomatic relations.
It wasn't until five years later, three years after South Africa's legendary black president came to power, that diplomatic relations between the two countries were formally established.
However, perhaps due to the confusion of time and space, the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in this life was several years ahead of schedule.
And the black president, who is highly regarded internationally, is still dormant for the time being, and has not shown his ability and strength.
Now South Africa is still in the "golden age" of white rule.
Yes, in the memory of Zhao Guoyang's previous life, the country of South Africa actually went downhill after ousting the white people from their dominant position.
In the following two or three decades, South Africa went from being the top 30 power in Africa and even in the world to becoming a third-rate country.
Its economic level has retreated again and again on the African continent, falling from the first position to the third place.
This has something to do with the political changes in South Africa.
In this life, although the situation in South Africa has not changed much, the keen Chinese businessmen still feel some possible changes.
That's probably what they're worried about.
Now that he has found the crux of the problem, how to appease these Chinese businessmen and help them find a way out in the future, Zhao Guoyang also has a rough plan.
"Mr.
Zhao, Mr.
Zhao" Just when Zhao Guoyang was thinking about the problem in combination with the memories of his previous life, Zhang Yufang next to him gently touched his arm with some curtle.
There was no way, being watched by so many people, Zhang Yufang felt a little restless, so she could only "wake up" Mr.
Zhao next to her as soon as possible, so that he would not be in a daze anymore.
Zhao Guoyang, who came back to his senses, saw the hopeful eyes around him, and immediately understood that it was his turn to speak.
Seeing that Researcher Zhao had recovered from the state of "sleepwalking", Bao Anjun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He made a "please" gesture to Zhao Guoyang and said: "The country understands and cares about the difficulties of Chinese businessmen, and I will ask Researcher Zhao, the deputy head of our delegation, to give you an answer."

After Bao Anjun finished saying this, Zhu Mingyang, Zhang Botao and others from the embassy first applauded.
The Chinese businessmen, who were still a little skeptical about Zhao Guoyang, saw that these leaders were so solemn, and they had a little more expectations for this young man in their hearts.
After Director Bao finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang first made an "sorry" gesture and explained to everyone: "I'm sorry, I just thought about how to help you solve the current problem, and I was a little distracted."
After his explanation, Zhu Mingyang, Bao Anjun and other bigwigs showed relief on their faces.
With Zhao Guoyang's assurance, everyone is naturally full of confidence in him, believing that he will definitely be able to find a solution to the problem.
Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment and continued: "Before I tell my opinion, please allow me to briefly analyze the situation of the economy and social system of South Africa. ” "First of all, South Africa is a big country, an economic power with a relatively developed economy and a complete industrial system, even close to the middle level of European and American countries."
Hearing Zhao Guoyang's remarks, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
Zhao Guoyang paused for a moment and continued to speak: "Secondly, compared with the mature political systems of European and American countries, South Africa is relatively lacking in this regard.
Due to the long-standing apartheid policy, the contradictions between whites and blacks in South Africa are very serious, and even to the point of incompatibility. ” "In recent years, the balance of political power in South Africa has shifted in favor of blacks.
We have reason to believe that the day when South Africa will abandon apartheid and fully open up in the future is already foreseeable."
After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, several leaders of the embassy over there were stunned.
As a staff member of the Chinese Embassy in South Africa, Zhu Mingyang naturally has a very good understanding of the political situation in South Africa.
The situation in South Africa is now volatile, and everyone can see this.
It is precisely because of the chaotic political situation that many Chinese businessmen are a little worried about the situation in South Africa.
Following today's forum, the Chinese businessmen half-pushed and half-pushed the delegation from the motherland to consult on some business and trade matters, in fact, to put it bluntly, they were asking the country's opinion on the situation in South Africa.
Now Zhao Guoyang directly pointed out the most important issues with a sharp point, such vision and foresight are really admirable.
After a moment of silence, Sun Jiadong, president of the South African Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, nodded and said: "Researcher Zhao's analysis is very accurate and shows the level.
I wonder if you can give us a clear indication of what we should do in the face of the turmoil that may come at any time in South Africa."
Hearing President Sun ask this question, the Chinese businessmen nodded their heads in agreement.
Indeed, people are concerned about the situation in South Africa because it affects their own business.
If Zhao Guoyang can give a definite information on this matter, then the big guy will naturally have a bottom in his heart.
Under the anticipation of everyone, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said: "In my personal opinion, the replacement of the old and new regimes in South Africa is inevitable. ” "In two or three years at the latest, white rule will definitely end" Hearing Zhao Guoyang say such a positive answer, there was a sigh of embarrassment within the Chinese businessmen.
Speaking of which, from the perspective of sympathy for the weak, everyone is still very supportive of the South African blacks overthrowing the rule of the whites and turning over the rules.
However, in business.
Under the rule of white South Africans, although there were such and such minor problems, the economy and business order were still very good on the whole.
In addition, the political situation is stable, public order is good, and the safety of Chinese businessmen can also be guaranteed.
If this is replaced by a black person in charge, whether it will be able to maintain the current level of management as always, everyone is actually very worried.
If the situation in South Africa really changes, I am afraid that Chinese businessmen may face many more problems than they do now.
Now that this researcher Zhao has pointed out this, is it because he wants the big guys to make plans early and prepare to withdraw and return to China?
Thinking of this, Sun Jiadong and the other Chinese businessmen's faces were a little gloomy.
After barely collecting his emotions, Sun Jiadong squeezed out a smile and asked Zhao Guoyang: "Researcher Zhao, we know what you mean."
Now that the situation in South Africa has changed, it is already an irreversible trend.
Then should our Chinese businessmen in South Africa make plans to evacuate in advance?"
"You know, the evacuation of some factories took a long time.
A year or two in advance, it may not be ready."
After Sun Jiadong finished speaking, the eyes of the Chinese businessmen fell on Zhao Guoyang, wanting to hear what kind of high opinion this researcher Zhao had
