Chapter 925
"Mr. President, you are really..." Looking at Kaunda lying on the hospital bed, Chen Geng was amused and crying, and was also a little scared: "You really dare to attack yourself."
The second suggestion that Cheng Lao had made to Kaunda was actually to learn from Ziluba and shoot himself. However, Chen Geng's suggestion was not to learn from Ziluba. He was shot and didn't even scratch the oil skin when he was shot. Find someone who was better at shooting and could absolutely trust him and just scratch the skin on himself. But who would have thought that Kaunda was so big, good guy, this was an explosion and a gun. After hearing about Kaunda's attack, Chen Geng got Sparta and hurried to the hospital to take a look. He didn't expect that he was eating fruit leisurely.
Kaunda smiled twice and pointed at Chen Geng's injured arm: "Haha... I thought about it. If I don't get any injuries, it would be too fake. I'd just give myself a few tricks. Now it seems that the effect is good."
Chen Geng nodded with a bitter smile. Isn't the effect good? After knowing Kaunda's injury, everyone believed that this attack was probably unrelated to Ziluba. Even though the Presidential Palace repeatedly issued statements and publicly expressed that it had no relationship with Ziluba, the media still believed that this incident was related to Ziluba. Everyone's logic was very clear: the attack was not far from the villa where you Ziluba lived. Except for you Ziluba, who could arrange an ambush in Ange in advance?
Because of this, Ziluba has been in a very upset these days.
Seeing that Kaunda was really okay, it was just a little skin trauma, which did not delay the next election at all, Chen Geng felt relieved. He then thought, maybe this was Kaunda's intention? When he was waiting for public speeches and campaigns, others were wearing suits and ties. Kaunda hung his arms and plaster on the podium, which did not mean that he was silently telling all voters.
"Look, I, Kaunda, don't even care about my own body for this country."
Chen Geng was not easy to ask, but Kaunda took the initiative to speak, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "Chen, this matter cannot be over."
"Of course it can't be over, but I thought about it and felt it was necessary to adjust the previous plan." Chen Geng said. What was he doing when he got involved in such a big deal? Isn't it just to be able to hold the Lumvana copper mine firmly in his hands? But if Ziluba comes to power, the possibility of the Lumvana copper mine falling into his hands is no more than 1%. Not to mention the traditional friendship between Kaunda and our country, Chen Geng has to find a way to make Kaunda successfully re-election for Lumvana copper mine.
"Adjust?" Kaunda's eyes lit up suddenly, and she was still curious: "How to adjust?"
Kaunda was already impressed by Chen Geng's ability. If it weren't for his method, he would still be struggling in the conspiracy of Ziluba. But now, he not only successfully got rid of the hat of "assassination of the president", but also won great sympathy. In just a few days, his approval rating once again exceeded that bastard Ziluba, and even more than 50%. To be honest, all this is Chen Geng's credit.
The words were not surprised, but they were just a little curious: "Adjust? How to adjust?"
According to the previous plan, after an accident, you should increase your support rate as much as possible. Kaunda was a little curious. If you want to adjust, how should you adjust it?
Chen Geng picked up a small metal password box from the ground. This box was brought by him when he came. When he opened the box, a dense US dollar came into Kaunda's eyes.
Even if he is the president, Kaunda subconsciously swallowed his saliva when he saw so many dollars... There is no way, Zambia is really poor.
"This is $300,000," Chen Geng nodded slightly and said, "You said, what would happen if someone used this money to find the media and asked the media to desperately help Qiluba speak?"
"Please help Qiluba speak with this money?" Kaunda was stunned. The next moment, his eyes lit up. At the moment he saw this money, he thought that the money Chen Geng took out was for him to speak, but he didn't expect to help Qiluba speak. This was wrong, but the next moment, Kaunda immediately reacted and shouted: "It's amazing!"
If you use this money to help Ziluba speak, you will inevitably form a confrontation in public opinion, "The incident in which President Kaunda was attacked was planned by Ziluba" and "This incident has nothing to do with Ziluba, and he may also be a victim." When these two views become the mainstream of Zambian public opinion next, who still remembers the attack on Ziluba?
More importantly, if we can find a way to record the scene of these media collecting money, then release it at critical moments, and then provide appropriate public opinion guidance. Hum...
What will the people think then?
If this was not done by you, Ziluba, why did you try your best to stuff money to these media? Why did these media try their best to speak for you?
So, 99% of the attack on President Kaunda was done by you, Ziluba! Those who stuffed money to these media were definitely your subordinates. What? You said no? You don’t know these people? What are you kidding? Is your IQ insufficient or our IQ insufficient? Apart from Ziluba, will anyone else pay this money to speak for you?
At that time, Ziluba was really unreasonable, and the yellow mud fell into her crotch - it was either shit or shit.
Thinking of the time when people across the country thought that Chiluban had the money to let the media speak for him, and when using this method to cover up his conspiracy, Kaunda smiled and his mouth tilted: "Chen, I don't know what to say, but what I want to say is... Your move is really amazing!"
At this moment, he was extremely glad that Chen Geng was his ally, and the Chinese were extremely glad that the Chinese were his ally.
Chen Geng smiled and said, "Mr. President, can I ask you something?"
Kaunda hurriedly said, "You said."
“After you get this re-election, you will reform the economy and allow privatization, right?”
"Of course," Ziluba was a little surprised why Chen Geng asked this question, but he was not stupid either. He knew that Chen Geng must have something waiting for him, and nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, we are not only friends, but also allies. If you have any questions, just ask."
"Then I'm not polite," Chen Geng was really not polite, nodding and said, "Copper Mine!"
Copper Mine? Kaunda subconsciously frowned.
At this time, Chen Geng mentioned the copper mine, and he was definitely not just the Lumvana copper mine. In this regard, the Lumvana copper mine is already the meat in Runhua Industrial's mouth, but Chen Geng seemed not satisfied with the Lumvana copper mine?
"Kansassi Copper Mine, Kangkla Copper Mine and Enchaga Copper Mine, one of these three copper mines, I hope to be developed with Zambia National United Copper Mine Co., Ltd.," Chen Geng is not polite. Now is not the time to be polite: "Of course, as friends, we will not let Zambia suffer losses. Runhua Industrial is willing to invest in upgrading the production facilities of the copper mine we cooperate with, and ensure that the annual production capacity is increased by at least 40% on the existing basis. As for the shares of both parties, what do you think is 6:4?"
Kaunda was a little surprised. He guessed that Chen Geng had a big appetite, but he didn't expect that the conditions given by Chen Geng were so fair.
fair?
That's right, it's fair.
In Kaunda's opinion, Chen Geng's conditions are really fair enough.
Before Zambia's independence, how were these copper mines mined? All property rights belonged to foreign companies, and these resources on Zambia's territory had no penny relationship with the Zambian people. After Zambia's independence, all copper mines were nationalized, so there was no need to say this, but how did Ziluba promote it? Fully privatization!
That’s right, it is full privatization, and copper mines, as the pillar of Zambia’s economy, have also been fully privatized! It is not an exaggeration to say that they are returning to the era before Zambia’s independence again.
Chen Geng is willing to help Zambia upgrade its production facilities and is willing to hold shares together, which is enough to show Chen Geng's sincerity, not to mention that he also promised to increase annual production capacity by 40%, but the 6:4 shareholding ratio is definitely not good.
The president is the president. Kaunda pondered for a moment and said, "Cooperation is OK, but 6:4 cannot."
Chen Geng didn't expect Kaunda to agree at once, nodded and waited for Kaunda to continue speaking.
"4:6, you 4, Zambia 6, and all the other investments are yours..."
Chen Geng smiled and shook his head: "Mr. President, do you know how much investment does it mean to update production equipment and increase production capacity by 40%? At least US$300 million, but based on the international copper price in the past 10 years as a reference, how many years will it take for us to recover the 300 million US dollars?"
Kaunda stopped talking. As a "country sitting on copper plates", copper prices are naturally the most concerned thing for Kaunda and even Zambia. The current international copper price is more than 1,800 US dollars per ton. The investment of more than 300 million US dollars means the total value of almost 200,000 tons of copper ingots, but what is the annual output of copper ingots in Zambia in the country? It is less than 300,000 tons.
If the cost is removed, it will mean that Runhua Industrial will take about 10 years to make a profit. Of course, Chen Geng cannot accept the 40% shareholding ratio.
Of course, the price of copper ingots cannot be so sluggish. If there is a long increase in a short period of time, Runhua Industrial might have recovered its capital in three to five years, but who can guarantee that it will rise one day? Maybe it will rise next year, and maybe it will not rise in three to five years. In short, there are too many uncertain factors.
However, no matter what, it is certain that Zambia implements privatization and economic reform, and it is also necessary to introduce partners in the field of copper mines. No matter from that perspective, Runhua Industrial is the most suitable and sincere partner.
After thinking about it, Kaunda asked, "I need to communicate with you first."
"Of course," Chen Geng didn't expect Kaundan to agree at once. This kind of thing was not something he could do. And then again, in order not to leave any troubles, the procedures that should be taken must also be left. Chen Geng nodded understandingly and said, "I can understand."
Kaunda then breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had visited China as the President of Zambia 30 years ago, and was a time-honored head of state in Africa, the skills and combat effectiveness that Chen Geng showed during this period really made Kaunda dare not underestimate it: What was the result of his battle with Ziluba before Chen Geng came? What was the result of now? As long as Kaunda was not stupid, he knew what attitude he should use.
After changing the topic, Kaunda said, "By the way, what you asked me to investigate last time has really come true."
"There will be a result so soon?" Chen Geng couldn't help but be happy.
"Yes," Kaunda nodded, then gritted his teeth: "You must have never imagined how crazy this guy is..."
———————————————
Driven by money, the media's voices helping Ziluba speak suddenly became much louder. These media that help Ziluba speak explained this matter from various angles and the logic of Ziluba's military officer:
For example, the attack site happened not far from Ziluba's villa, which is very likely a malicious frame-up by competitors:
For example, Ziluba is a smart person. Not to mention whether he will do this, even if he really wants to do this, he will not make such a stupid mistake. Attack Kaunda at his doorstep, is there such a stupid person?
For example, this matter does not make logical sense...
Looking at the voices in the media that helped me speak for me, Ziluba, who had been paying attention to the voices of the media, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Good, I really didn't expect that so many people would help us speak for me."
"Who said no..."
The subordinates in the room nodded, and they also felt that this time was really lucky.
Although the media's view that he is the murderer is basically half the same as that he thinks he is innocent, this is far beyond Ziluba's imagination. Before that, he felt that it would be good to see the voices of helping him in the media. Now nearly half of the voices of helping him speak, which is in line with the voices of thinking he is the murderer. This is really... good luck is a bit out of heaven.
"Sir, there is still good news to tell you," said Muru, director of the campaign office, excitedly: "The support rate statistics just sent, although our support rate has dropped a lot, the drop is much lower than our imagination. Now our support rate is over 40%..."
"Really?" After hearing this news, Ziluba was not only overjoyed, but ecstatic. She had reached this point and could still have a support rate of more than 40%. He didn't just have a chance. He asked quickly: "Where are the statistics? Show me!"
Muru did not dare to neglect and quickly handed over the latest statistics.
Looking at the data above, Chiluba opened her mouth and laughed: "Okay! OK! Great! Thank you for your hard work during this period, Mulu, you go and pay a sum of funds and give each of you a bonus of $1,000!"
"Okay." Mulu responded quickly, and the others were also smiling: This is $1,000.
After walking around the office twice, Ziluba raised a finger: "We must take advantage of the victory. Since these media are so interesting, we can't be stingy anymore. Well, all the media that speaks for us will be $5,000 for us. Let's go as soon as possible."
"yes."
