Red Alert Somalia

Jonathan’s proposal is a normal space cooperation, and similar cooperation is not uncommon all over the world.

Many countries do not have the ability to launch satellites. In addition to buying satellites that have already been launched from abroad, these countries can only rely on launch vehicles from other countries if they want to send their own satellites to the sky.

In fact, this is not the first time Nigeria has asked someone to help them launch a satellite. Two times earlier, they asked India to help them launch a satellite.It is not surprising to find Somalia this time.

Regarding this kind of door-to-door business, Li Lan naturally wouldn't push it out, and directly agreed.

With this beginning, the distance between the two sides seemed to be a little closer without knowing it.

Jonathan also took advantage of the first proposal to be accepted by Li Lan, and went on to say: "In addition to security factors, environment, and economy, industry is also very important to trouble African countries. At present, apart from South Africa and Somalia, there is no one in Africa. The country has a complete industrial system, and so does our country.

Although Nigeria has introduced many foreign companies in the past decade, there is still a big gap in the industry, especially the auto industry. Because of the consumer environment, almost all auto companies in the world exclude Africa.

Although for now, private cars are a very unfamiliar term to many people in Africa, there will always be a beginning.At present, the whole of Africa also has a sound automobile industry in Somalia and a completed production chain.and so……"

Li Lan interrupted directly: "So you plan to let us go to Nigeria to build a factory?"

"Yes, I promise Nigeria will give Somalia the most favorable policy and the best environment." Jonathan did not interrupt Li Lan's irritation.But said very sincerely.

Faced with Jonathan's confession, Li Lan did not agree.There was no direct rejection either.Because in the long run, this is a profitable business.Can open up Nigeria's domestic market.

But from another aspect, going to Nigeria to build a factory requires huge capital, and a large amount of foreign exchange will flow into Nigeria. It is difficult to fill the gap in this area with profits in the short term.

At the same time, he also understands Jonathan's ideas. The introduction of industry and capital is of great significance to the development of an African country. Although investors are also rushing to make money, for the invested country, the first is foreign exchange income.The second is taxation, increase employment, and can also learn from foreign industries.

That's how China came here at the beginning, and it also used this to improve its industrial deficiencies and began to catch up.

Because of the base, Li Lan originally had a complete set of industries, so he didn't need any external industry support at all.This has also led to the fact that there are not many foreign companies in Somalia.

And the inflow of external funds.Over the years, China has also supported it.At the same time, a considerable part of the oil fields in Somalia are directly open to China, allowing China's oil companies to invest in the Somali oil sector.Allow them to extract crude oil on oil fields owned by Somalia.

As for other countries, they want to use industry and cooperation to enter various markets in Somalia.It's a difficult thing, from the simplest bicycle.Somalia can produce heavy-duty container trucks that can load more than 100 tons.The same is true for household goods, ranging from nail clippers to all household appliances, without relying on foreign countries.

And now Somalia has established broadband across the country, and many large cities have begun to spread across the Internet. All computers use assistant systems, and every host and server is in the hands of assistants.

Investment in heavy industry abroad is indeed part of the future development. The main reason why Li Lan has not yet started to act is that the construction unit cannot be built abroad, so he has repeatedly delayed.

Earlier, Eritrea had also expressed that it welcomed Somalia to Eritrea to build heavy industry, but Li Lan really couldn't make a deal. In the end, he chose to invest and build a container port in Eritrea.

However, at that time his authority was still advanced, and he wanted to go abroad, but the number of sub-base vehicles was not enough.Now his authority has reached the ultimate limit, he can own ten more sub-base vehicles.

After hearing Jonathan's words, Li Lan's thoughts began to become alive. However, it is not unconditional for the sub-base to be built outside. The explanation clearly pointed out that it needs to belong to Li Lan's land.Otherwise, Li Lan has now started to produce sub-base cars and make arrangements.

Jonathan was also very anxious. Seeing that Li Lan hadn’t responded for a long time, he just had a pensive look on his face. He thought that his conditions had not been clarified, so he spoke again: “If Somalia’s automobiles and heavy industries can invest in and build factories in Nigeria, Then I can dispense with all taxes within five years after the start of production, and in the next five years, taxes will be halved. At the same time, on the premise that Somalia is listed as the most favorable country for trade, tariffs will be halved again within three years. The government has also given the green light to all Somali companies."

The lack of heavy industry in Nigeria has obviously made Jonathan very anxious. These conditions are very rich and are already a great price.When he visited developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, he also said the same thing, but companies in these countries are not optimistic about Nigeria's investment prospects, especially in heavy industry. There are not many people in Nigeria who can consume products from heavy industry.

Although the labor cost is very low, companies from all over the world shook their heads and refused.

In particular, the safety environment is the reason why companies from all over the world choose to regress, because Nigeria is one of the most insecure countries in the world. Even Somalia at the beginning is not much higher in risk ranking than Nigeria.

Crisis in the Niger Delta, political murders, street gang conflicts, armed robberies and other violent crimes, smuggling, election violence, etc., are simply commonplace in Nigeria.In addition, African blacks are lazy and delicious. A large part of it is talking about Nigeria, where there are countless petty thefts, and even oil pipelines are stolen every three to five.

This is also the main reason why Nigeria has a population of 140 million, but it has 1.2 million armed police.

At the same time, there are also multiple terrorist-like armed forces in Nigeria, and they often engage in firefights with the Nigerian military.This is why Nigeria continues to maintain a high-risk society.

In such an environment, who would dare to invest in Nigeria, even if Jonathan broke his words, those companies that pay attention to profit would not be moved.

Otherwise, Jonathan would not set his sights on Somalia at all. A country that does not have much heavy industry or a sound industry will rely on the domestic economy of some light industries, which has brought Nigeria's economic development to a bottleneck.Moreover, the rate of population growth keeps the domestic unemployment rate high. With light industry almost saturated, the only thing that can be counted on is heavy industry.

Li Lan naturally also knows the situation in Nigeria, but these are not problems for him.

"Investment requires a safe environment. Even if Somalia wants to choose an investment country, Eritrea has given more generous conditions than Nigeria, and security is also higher. We are currently screening the investment situation of African countries, but it is a pity The security issue in Nigeria has become the first abandoned target. However, I can assist Nigeria with some funds to help you build schools and an infrastructure. As for investment..." Li Lan stretched his voice very long, under normal circumstances , The meaning is already very obvious.However, Li Lan is not rejecting this, but is pulling a long line to catch a big fish.

Nigeria is close to the Atlantic Ocean and has a good geographical location. Li Lan also very much hopes to build a sub-base in Nigeria, but under normal means, unless war is launched, Nigeria will never allow foreign troops to station.

And Jonathan's proposal gave Li Lan a new idea. He can go to Nigeria to build a factory or build a large number of heavy industries. Once needed, this sub-base can exert extremely great effects.

"In terms of safety, please rest assured. I just said that it will definitely give Somalia a safe investment environment. I can use my personality to guarantee this." Jonathan immediately promised again.

"It's not that I don't believe you, but the environment of Nigeria as a whole country. I can't make a decision lightly." Seeing the fish began to bite, Li Lan didn't say the truth.

"Then how can you be relieved." Jonathan started slightly anxiously.

"In fact, the Future Technology Group, our pillar company in Somalia, has repeatedly proposed to invest in heavy industries such as electric vehicles, smelting, shipbuilding, etc., but has never found a suitable investment country. If Nigeria’s safety issues, You can rest assured that the investment can be discussed. After all, once the investment is negotiated, it will be tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars in the next few years." Li Lan directly described the cake. .

Sure enough, Jonathan took the bait directly. After he heard the three words of electric car, smelting, and shipbuilding, his heart was hooked, and after hearing that the amount could reach hundreds of billions of dollars, he couldn't calm down. .

"As long as Somalia can put this investment plan in Nigeria, then as long as it is not too excessive, the conditions can be opened by you." Jonathan can't manage that much now, and there is only one idea in his mind to win this plan. .
