January 16th.

Africa.

Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Within the North Base Province.

A convoy is moving along a potholed road.

In front were two pickup trucks, and behind them were three huge trucks, covered with light blue tarps, and it was impossible to see what was inside, and this was none other than Huawei's engineers.

Bumpy faces.

Everyone is used to it.

Inside the front pickup truck.

"Be careful, everyone, pay attention to the surroundings, this is the territory of the warlord Sadok. Xia Yuxing said with a walkie-talkie, looking out the window vigilantly.

He's the field engineer here.

"If it weren't for the high salary, I would never have come to such a dangerous job. The young man driving said helplessly.

As soon as I heard this.

The people in the back seat hurriedly complied.

"That is, after earning a few years of money, I will go back to marry my daughter-in-law and children, and never come to this place again, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in this place, the only thing that could accompany me to pass the time was this pile of "Huawei Access Network Equipment Technical Manual". ”

"You should learn from Lao Zhou and have the fun of taking pictures. The young man driving laughed.

"If you don't study, I'm not a literary youth. ”

They use this way to relieve psychological stress.

Africa Operations.

It has always been a market that Huawei attaches great importance to.

Of course

It's not the same as in China.

Many of Africa's products are obsolete in China, and when 4G is popularized in China, 3G services in African countries are the mainstream. But now, the 2G network coverage here is not complete.

Just last month.

Huawei won the bid for part of the communication infrastructure project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to upgrade the domestic network, and they cannot afford to use 4G, nor do they need it, so it is mainly 3G network construction.

Thereupon.

A team of their projects was sent here.

At the suggestion of the branch.

The engineering headquarters of Beiji Province chose a place on the map that was barely marked, and when they heard that there was a Chinese mining company, they rushed to it as soon as they heard it.

There are Chinese.

They felt very relatable.

Doing business here for so long.

Confusion.

Dangerous.

Nervous.

It has become commonplace, and although the actual situation is not so dangerous, the situation here is indeed not optimistic, especially since they are still dividing the sphere of influence of the armed forces.

The car moved on.

The windows were rolled up so that they would not be seen and cause unnecessary trouble.

On the way from the capital of Kinsa, they were stopped more than a dozen times, but the robbers did not meet them, most of them were African policemen here, and they had to give some points every other distance.

It's not okay if you don't give it.

Others say that you have pressed the way of others, what else can you say?

Two hours later.

It's still an hour away from that steel mill.

"Someone may be following us. Sha Li, the young man who was driving, said in a panic. Their speed is not fast, if they pass by, they will definitely overtake, and now that they have been following for so long, it really worries him.

"Speed up and see if you can get rid of it. One of the people in the back seat suggested.

Sha Li said helplessly: "We have trucks, and it's useless to accelerate." ”

"What then?" the man said nervously.

"Sha Li, keep driving, in this broken place, even if you call the police, it will be fast to come in an hour. Xia Yuxing frowned and said, call the police here, and most of them choose to go directly to the police station.

"Good. "That's all there is to it.

Soon.

The car behind accelerated in vain.

Drive side by side with them.

I saw that the driver over there glanced at them, saw that the co-pilot's glass could not be seen through, and increased his speed, and when he arrived in front of the car, he saw that Sha Li was a Chinese face, and his eyes showed joy.

Shali knows.

It wasn't a friendly greeting to him.

That's the look of seeing the 'fat sheep'.

"Oops. ”

Xia Yuxing and the others sighed in their hearts, this is the place of warlords, if there is something, they can't find anyone to help, and it is impossible for people to fight a war directly for them.

Followed by.

Their fears were fulfilled.

I saw the African in the cab take out a gun and yell at them, and I can't hear anything for the time being, because the diesel car is closed, and the noise is quite loud, but it is definitely parking-related.

"What to do? They're going to shoot. Shali panicked.

Xia Yuxing took a deep breath.

"Pull over. ”

They have African guides, and they shouldn't be stripped naked and thrown on the side of the road, after all, they are here to build and benefit the local area, which is why their equipment has not been robbed along the way.

"Oh. Shali agreed.

Turn right to signal the car behind you to pull over.

Soon.

The cars stopped.

Xia Yuxing and the African guide walked down.

This is the French-speaking area, Xia Yuxing is only a field engineer and does not know French, but this African guide is an English-speaking presence and belongs to Huawei's partner employees.

"Ask them what they want to do?" said Xia Yuxing to Guide Fielding.

"Good. ”

Fielding communicated with the other party.

"He said our car was too big, too heavy, crushed the road, and asked us to pay for a repair, $10,000. Fielding said helplessly, again, in Sadok's territory, he really didn't have the confidence to say hard things.

"Tell them what we're here for. ”

Of course Xia Yuxing will not accept it, 10,000 US dollars, it is impossible to reimburse at all.

"Good. ”

Fielding turned his head and pointed at Xia Yuxing to explain.

"They are from Huaxia and are here to build a base station for you, which is your mobile phone, so that more places can make calls and provide better telephone services. ”

The leader with the gun was called Alec, and on the way home, he accidentally saw these 'fat sheep' and prepared to hunt.

"Base station?" Alec wondered.

Fielding nodded vigorously: "Yes, with the base station, more places can make and receive calls." ”

"Then go to our tribe to cultivate, and I'll take you there. "Alec is happy, there is no $10,000, and it is not bad to build a base station in the tribe, there is no signal in their tribe at all.

Hear the words.

Fielding's face was bitter.

"This, we have a rule, we can only repair it in a fixed place, if possible, your tribe will also be within the scope in the future. "Nowadays, the only way to do this is to use delays.

"That's not going to work, our tribe has no signal... ”

Argued for a few minutes.

Fielding was pointed directly at Alec's head.

"They insisted that we go to their tribe and build a base station. "Fielding has already cursed this idiot to death in his heart, can you use your brains, can the base station be repaired casually.

"How is this possible. Xia Yuxing kept shaking his head.

There is no plan.

How can it be repaired for you, and there is no fiber optic cable, it is useless to go to your tribe to repair a base station, it is an iron shelf.

"You tell him no. Xia Yuxing said.

After some fruitless negotiations, Alec took a tough attitude, and Fielding said helplessly: "He said that we must go, his father is the head of the tribe, and he wants to go back as a birthday present." ”

Xia Yuxing: "... ”

You still have birthdays?

"It's impossible. ”

"He doesn't do it. ”

"I... ”

Xia Yuxing wanted to scold people, but he didn't dare, he was in a foreign country, and he didn't dare to say anything tough, not to mention that people still had guns.

A few minutes later.

Just when the two sides are at a stalemate.

Two pickup trucks drove from the front.

See them, these people.

A sudden brake.

A couple of big strong black men stepped out of the car.

Xia Yuxing couldn't help but retreat, these guys, they looked even more difficult to mess with, because when they saw them, Alec and the others looked like good babies, smiling.

"What are you doing?" said the black man in the lead.

Alec hurriedly said: "Wesley, I'm going to let them build a base station in our tribe, so that they have a mobile phone signal, and let them go to your tribe to build one when the time comes." ”

Wesley looked at Xia Yuxing and asked in English, "Where are you going?"

"A steel mill. Xia Yuxing said.

Wesley's face changed.

"What is the steel mill called?"

"It seems to be called... Wanqing Iron and Steel. Xia Yuxing replied.

Hear the name.

Wesley turned his head silently.

A slap slapped Alec.

'Smack... ’

Alec was slapped so much that he barely stood still.

Wesley roared, "You owe it to clean up, don't you, anyone dares to rob anything." ”

"I... I don't know if it's that steel mill thing. Alec covered his face and shouted that he was wronged, you know, how far will the iron go, today's events will be passed home, and his father will smoke himself.

"Got it now?" Wesley said coldly.

"Yes, yes. Alec kept nodding.

"Fuck off. Wesley said impatiently.

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

Alec didn't dare to stay.

Get in the car and leave with one foot on the accelerator.

This steel plant, which should be called a mining area strictly speaking, has already become a place that almost everyone in the local area knows, because the people have cooperative relations with the surrounding tribes for dozens of kilometers.

You have mines.

Whatever it is, I'm going to dig it out.

There are no mines.

Natural resources are OK too.

I'll help you figure it out.

In the past, the mines here were almost impossible to transport, because there were no railways, and the roads were also messy, so they could only rely on the sky.

That's it.

The mine has established a wide range of cooperative relationships with various tribes.

In particular, several super tribes have become the main suppliers of steel plants in the future, and coal, steel, copper, and other metals are also fully collected, and related smelters will be expanded in the future.

And so.

This steel plant.

It has a huge influence in the local area.

They are all waiting for the factory to start, and they are waiting to make money.

Alec robs other people's things,

was beaten.

It is also well deserved.

Xia Yuxing looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded.

What the.

Why did you guys get into a fight?

"Don't be nervous, since you are a friend of Wanqing Iron and Steel, you are our friend, in this realm, if someone dares to bully you, we will not agree. Wesley said with a smile to Xia Yuxing.

He is the eldest grandson of the Great Elder of the Clan who blew up several warehouses in front of the warriors.

He knows.

It's a lot more than the average person.

Partnerships are part of it.

Can't afford to mess with.

is the main reason.

"Thank you. Xia Yuxing thanked.

"You're welcome, go, I'll take you there personally, and I'll be there soon. Wesley said enthusiastically.

"Thank you. ”

Xia Yuxing said with a dry smile.

So far, he still can't believe what happened just now, what if Wesley will take them somewhere, and then snatch them up and go into the wolf's den again?

And just when Xia Yuxing was entangled.

"Didi. ”

A very shrill horn came from behind.

Xia Yuxing turned his head to look.

Freak out.

Cart.

Lots of cars.

At least 20 American-style military Humvees, with black bodies, white tires, and shield-like logos printed on the front lid and doors, look mighty and domineering.

It can't be a warlord under Sadok, right?

Just when Xia Yuxing was worried.

The co-pilot of the first car walked the next person.

Asian?

Or an Asian in a black and white security uniform.

See the man.

Wesley grinned and walked up.

"Captain Chu, pick up people again. Wesley looked at the convoy behind him enviously, and wanted to drive, but every time he was rejected, no matter how good the relationship was, he said that it was the company's regulations.

"Well, what are you guys doing here?robbing?" Chu Sheng frowned.

Today, he went to the airport to pick up a group of engineers from his 'neighbor' and the company's new colleagues, and heard that a chemical plant was going to be built on the edge of the mining area, and his own boss also had a stake in it, and contracted the security of the two companies.

It's not.

Eighty more security guards were sent from the country, and this looked like a robbery.

As soon as I heard Chu Sheng say that he robbed.

Wesley quickly shook his head and clarified.

"No, no, we just stopped a robbery, they wanted to rob this group of Chinese, I drove them away, and I was about to take them to your steel factory, these should be your things. ”

"That's right. Chu Sheng nodded.

This place.

No one really dared to rob them.

Came here in April last year.

Nine months have passed, nine months, he has thoroughly seen the company's 'strong background', not to mention walking sideways, but absolutely no one rushed to bully them, just like He Liang said at the beginning.

Don't cause trouble.

And not afraid of things.

And this time.

As the vice president of the branch, He Liang, who was still reporting with newcomers, also came, but he was tired of traveling and fell asleep in the back of the car.

Chu Sheng walked to Xia Yuxing's side.

"Hello, what are you sending?"

"No, we are employees of Huawei, and we are going to repair the base station here, and the company asked us to go to your steel plant, hoping to get help. Xia Yuxing hurriedly expressed his intention.

Hear this.

Chu Sheng was clear, it turned out that he didn't send things to their factory.

"That's right, then get in the car, follow behind our convoy, I'll take you there, I'm from the security department of the steel plant, my name is Chu Sheng, remember, don't let your people take pictures." Chu Sheng emphasized.

"Understood, I will tell them, my name is Xia Yuxing, fortunately. Xia Yuxing introduced himself.

"Well, I'll catch up later. Chu Sheng smiled and nodded.

"Okay. ”

Chu Sheng said to Wesley again: "You can do your own business, they handed it over to me, thank you for what happened just now." ”

"You're welcome, that stinky boy, the next time I see him, I'll clean him up, and I don't have any eyesight. Wesley shook his fist.

"I'll invite you to drink next time. "Chu Sheng and Wesley are also quite familiar.

Wesley smacked his mouth.

"Haha, okay, I still want to eat hot pot. ”

"Okay, no problem. Chu Sheng agreed.

Chafing dish.

Elsewhere in Africa, he could not guarantee it.

But they do.

You can eat it if you want.

Subsequently.

The huge convoy was launched again.
