I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

Like most airports in black African countries, Entebbe International Airport is very limited and its facilities are still in use.

Chen Ling hired a minibus from the hotel to pick up people at the airport.

For the first time since starting his own business, Chen Ling personally handled opportunities of opportunity.

In this new market in Uganda, he had to do it himself.

However, as long as he receives the team brought by Hu Xiaoxiao, he can be lazy again.

"Chen Ling, I can finally come to Africa again!" This was Hu Xiaoxiao's first sentence after seeing Chen Ling, and then introduced him to Chen Ling one by one.

Hu Xiaoxiao brought five people to Uganda. Two businessmen, two technicians, and an administrative staff, all in English.

Chen Ling stared at the young administrative man and said: "I just arrived in Uganda, take a good rest today, jet lag, and start working tomorrow."

Being taken care of by the big boss, the young man in charge of administration was flattered and said: "I slept well along the way and can start working."

Chen Ling was overjoyed and took out a small notebook and handed it to him: "Okay, you are responsible for this administrative work. This is all the contacts and contact information in Uganda. You will arrange the accommodation and meals later."

Hu Xiaoxiao knew Chen Ling's intentions and said: "Uganda is the first shot, it must be fired, you have to pay more attention."

Chen Ling said: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the food and grass will go first. The administrative and logistics work is done, we have a good chance of winning. Apart from you and me, this is the first time to come to Africa, right?"

Several people nodded and said yes.

"Very well, when the work is finished, I will arrange for everyone to see the real wild Africa!" Chen Ling first drew a small cookie for the team.

Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Well, my team has always been very effective, so don't worry. What are the specific arrangements next?"

Chen Ling said: "I will rest today. We will go to Kampala tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, we will meet with the MPs and the Minister of Communications. We will start the technical meeting the day after tomorrow. I will see the Minister and the MPs on the fourth day. If the talks are good, we will immediately arrange to see the President."

After speaking, he asked everyone: "Are you ready to stay in Africa for a long time?"

Several people nodded.

Chen Ling nodded and praised Hu Xiaoxiao: "Mr. Hu, I am most relieved of your team."

Hu Xiaoxiao did not dare to take credit in front of everyone, saying: "Our team is going all out. We are all motivated and we want to do something in Africa."

Chen Ling's heart moved and said: "There will be more and more colleagues working in Africa. We have to consider the supporting living security system so that everyone has no worries. I will explain to Mr. Xu later and give a system."

"Let me say that this standard must be competitive in order to provide real protection." Hu Xiaoxiao said, "It cannot be lower than Xinghua Technology's standard."

Xinghua Technology is generous to its employees abroad. This is known to all Chinese in Africa. Hu Xiaoxiao mentioned this publicly to fight for the benefits of employees in front of Chen Ling.

"Our standards will exceed the standards of Xinghua Technology."

Chen Ling did not hesitate, he continued: "In the future, we will continue to improve the conditions of stationing abroad, and on the other hand, we will continue to increase the localization rate. This is called human leverage, allowing low-cost locals to earn bonuses for our core employees. ."

Several industries involved in Chen Ling require a large amount of labor, and must be good at using local labor.

"I heard that the Japanese have done a good job in this regard. A few Japanese can manage hundreds of locals." Hu Xiaoxiao said, "At this point, Xinghua Technology is far from reaching this level."

Chen Ling said: "This is a process. Let's take it slowly. Those who join our business today are likely to become core employees of a country in the future, leading dozens of locals."

Hu Xiaoxiao said: "I look forward to that day, because it shows that we Chinese are valuable and our management level is up."

Chen Ling laughed: "We will be the vanguard of overseas companies managed by Chinese."

...

...

Chen Ling's team stayed at the best hotel in Kampala, and Mr. Ju's friend, Senator Twina Masico, actually came to the hotel in person, and he brought in the office director of the Minister of Communications.

"I'm here as a friend, and welcome everyone to Uganda to help our country develop." Senator Tvinnamasiko is gentle, speaks at a moderate speed, and speaks comfortably to several Chinese people.

The director of the Office of the Minister of Communications smiled, his eyes seemed to be looking at everyone at the same time, making everyone feel that he was smiling at himself.

This is a veteran who has attracted people and sent him to him. Standing behind the legislators, he will neither steal the limelight nor appear rude.

Everyone chatted for a while and then mentioned digital TV.

"President Africa cares about your arrival, because your investment will help us enter the digital society, create a lot of jobs, and promote our economic development." Congressman Tvinnamasiko said, "So, things are actually very simple. We need you, you have the technology and the capital, as long as the price is agreed, everything will be very fast."

Chen Ling and Hu Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, confirming that they had understood what Congressman Tvinnamasico meant.

"Our attitude is very open and flexible. We always pursue win-win cooperation. All participants can enjoy the benefits of digital TV." Chen Ling gave Congressman Tvina Masico a reassurance, "Everything is okay. talk."

Congressman Tvina Masico smiled and said: "Mr. Chen deserves to be an African expert. I heard your teacher say that your investment in Africa is very extensive, and I sincerely hope you can succeed in Uganda."

The Minister’s Office Director stood up at the right time and stated: “The goals of the Ministry of Communications and Mr. Members are the same. We welcome Mr. Chen’s arrival and will do our best to support Mr. Chen’s investment in Uganda.”

"This is also what the President meant." Senator Tvinnamasiko added gently.

The President of Uganda has been in power for more than ten years, and will remain in power for a long time to come. The pursuit of a president of this nature is inevitably different from that of a president who is due to step down.

Chen Ling leaned forward and said, "Please convey our high respect and gratitude to Your Excellency the President. We will use our best technology and send the best engineers to help Uganda complete the digital leap and help our friends in Uganda live. better life."

...

...

In the next few days, everything was unfolded according to the set schedule, and Chen Ling led the team out for meetings every day.

Hu Xiaoxiao explained to his subordinates to do a good job in the docking work to ensure that everything can be carried out smoothly after Chen Ling leaves Uganda in a few days.

"Mr Chen introduced us to Uganda. We must make sure that he is there or not." Hu Xiaoxiao called Chen Ling as Mr. Chen before his hands, although several subordinates knew her and Chen Ling's relationship.

The senior officials of the Ministry of Communications are very cooperative. The middle-level and grass-roots people naturally attach importance to the digital TV project. They actually completed a report on the set date and submitted it to the president after approval by the minister.

The investment of the entire project is 100 million U.S. dollars, which is the lowest amount among all Chen Ling's projects.

"We haven't missed anything?" Chen Ling asked Hu Xiaoxiao worriedly.

Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "No. You are used to engineering mining. It is always a large investment of one billion and several billion dollars. That's why you feel that 100 million dollars is very little. But do you know? In Xinghua Technology, one The billion-dollar project is a super project."

Chen Ling raised his eyebrows in disapproval.

"Chen Ling, your mindset needs to be changed. The big projects you have done previously involved a lot of investment, but the process was very long and profit margins were not high. And the digital TV and telecommunications operations we are doing now belong to the high-tech industry. , Selling equipment, technology, and services. Although the list is small, the profit margin is high. As long as the scale comes up, the profit will be very substantial."

Chen Ling asked: "Really? Xinghua Technology has such a large turnover, all of which are small projects?"

Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Well, that's the small project you mentioned. Xinghua Technology can make too much money to send it out. Have you heard of the big boss of Xinghua Technology about sun money on the balcony?"

Chen Ling shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. What is the allusion to sun money on the balcony?"

"The big boss once held a management meeting. During the break, he stood with a few people on the balcony and talked about the bonus distribution. He said that he suggested that everyone should consider the big balcony when buying a house, because everyone will receive it. When it comes to a generous bonus, it’s easy to get moldy when you put it at home, and you need a big balcony to sun money."

Hu Xiaoxiao explained.

"Then our family will buy a dryer in the future." Chen Ling smiled.
