Li Rui waited in Feizhou for three days, accompanied Shao Xuan and Yu Na to visit most of Conakry, and finally waited for news about Councillor Lewis.

At a commercial street in Conakry, two fully armed soldiers stood. The submachine guns in their hands seemed to be saying to every pedestrian: Don't worry, we will protect this place!

This kind of scenery can probably only be seen in Philippines.

Li Rui and Lewis walked into the commercial street, and several bodyguards who were slamming the shield secretly protected them from the front or back.

Compared to Guineas, Li Rui believes in the professionalism of security companies hired at high prices.

Walking on the street, Li Rui asked strangely: "Why are they all foreigners and can't see locals?"

Lewis pointed to the goods in the window and said, "Look at the price, these things are not affordable to locals."

Li Rui leaned over and saw that the price was only considered affordable for the Chinese people who were becoming richer, but for locals, it was tantamount to sky-high prices.

This reminded Li Rui of the friendship store in Yanzhou in the years of reform and opening up, and thought about the soon-to-be-popular SKP, and shrugged and said, "Decades ago, Huaguo also had a place for foreigners to consume, but now there is no more. I hope that in a few decades, our arrival can change the current poverty situation in Guinea, right?"

Lewis chuckled and said, "Maybe...it is more in your interest to keep it poor here."

Li Rui was stunned.

Although he is unwilling to admit it, Lewis is right. Which one is easier to manipulate or a poor country? I can tell with my butt!

This is why the magnesium countries continue to provoke wars around the world, throwing each country into war and poverty.

As a member of the MP, Lewis is of course a believer in this policy.

Li Rui did not refute, and continued to stroll slowly.

Not long after walking, there is a coffee shop called "Sweet" on the roadside, which is the destination of this trip.

The two walked in and there was no one in the coffee shop, only the boss sat lazily behind the bar.

When the boss heard the sound of the door opening, he looked up and said something in silence.

He was speaking Fayu, and Li Rui couldn't understand at all, so he could only look at Lewis.

Lewis translated: "He asked us to wait a moment."

The two sat down at the table in the corner. The boss didn't ask them what to drink. They just waited for half an hour. The small door behind the bar creaked, and a big black man with a big waist and a round forehead came in!

Although he was wearing a very ordinary shirt and jeans, he was definitely a ruthless character from the army, judging from his walking posture and his evil spirits on his face!

The big man walked straight over, Lewis stood up and smiled (Fa): "Boyd, my old friend, I'm very happy to see you!"

The big man and Lewis hugged enthusiastically, then looked at Li Rui and said, "Are you a friend from Huaguo? I am Boyd Aluko!"

Li Rui was stunned because the other party was speaking in the Hua Guo dialect with a straight-talk, which sounded more authentic than Li Rui!

Seeing Li Rui's confused look, Aluko showed a hearty laugh like a prank: "Are you surprised? I forgot to introduce it, I am a 2001 graduate of Changshan Army Command School!"

So that's it, Li Rui suddenly realized.

Changshan Army Command School is known as the cradle of the Filipino General. As early as the 1960s, it opened foreign officer training courses, providing a large number of military talents for various countries in the Filipino. These officers returned to their own after the training.

The country brought back the military training and combat methods of Huaguo, allowing Huaguo's military ideas to bloom everywhere in the Philippines.

In addition to Changshan Army Command School, the Xiaguo National Defense School and the Jinling Army School also trained many Philippine officers.

Once on the battlefield in the Philippines, there was a situation where both sides were graduates of the Xiaguo Military Academy, which was nicknamed "actual defense".

Guinea was the first sub-Saharan Philippines to establish diplomatic relations with Huaguo. The relationship between the two countries has been maintained well. It is natural that Aluko will go to Huaguo for military training.

With this relationship, both parties seemed very enthusiastic, and Aluko's level of silhouette is quite good. He can communicate with Li Rui's silhouette half-fa half-safe half-safe. In addition, Lewis translated from the side, most of the conversations were very smooth.

.

After a few conversations, Lewis said: "Lt. Col. Aluco is someone that Mr. C trusts very much, and we can talk openly and honestly."

Mr. C is their code name for President Kong Dai, because Kong Dai's Fa-word is Condé, although all three of them are trustworthy, they still cannot directly mention Kong Dai's name.

Li Rui said: "Then let me talk about my conditions. I hope Mr. C can agree to change the construction plan of the Simandu No. 1 and 2 mining area project, allowing Simandu to export iron ore through the Buchanan Port in Liberia!"

This is a request made by Li Rui when he met Kong Dai last time.

From the discovery of the Simandu iron ore, to the sale of mining rights in Guinea, and to today, more than 20 years have passed, but there has been no progress, for many reasons.

The most important reason is that the investment in infrastructure is too large, even Rio Tinto, top mining giants like BHP Billiton and Vale can't bear it.

According to Guinea's requirements, the project needs to build a railway across Guinea from the Simandu Mining Area, with a total length of 650 kilometers, and a new port in Matacon. This part of the infrastructure costs occupy the majority of the overall budget.

If you can directly build a railway from the Simandu project from the Simandu project, it can greatly reduce the railway construction costs, and you can also directly use the very mature Buchanan Port, which can save at least 6 billion magnesium

Yuan.

In order to save 6 billion magnesium, Li Rui was willing to pay some extra costs, which was also the main purpose of meeting Aluko today.

Aluco shook his head and said, "This is impossible. You should be clear that building a railway across Guinea's territory through the Simandu project is the hope of all Guinea people and the best opportunity for Guinea to get rid of poverty. If you

If you want Simandu’s iron ore, you have to pay this price.”

"Lieutenant Colonel Aluko, Smith Mining did not ask for a complete overturn of the original plan, but set up a new timetable. In order to promote the start of the Simandu project as soon as possible, export transportation will be carried out through Liberia, and after the Simandu is put into production, it will be carried out.

, We will continue to promote the construction of the cross-sea railway. Not only that, we will also provide other assistance to Guinea..." Li Rui was prepared and immediately started to talk.

It’s not about not building, but about slowing down. As for when to slow down, it must be a very appropriate time. As for when the time is appropriate, let’s talk about it later.

Aluco's expression soothed a little: "If it was just a slow construction, you might consider it, but this matter requires support from the upper level. Mr. C will be under great pressure..."

Li Rui smiled slightly: "Since it is our request, of course we are willing to share some pressure for Mr. C. We can prepare an account at the Swiss Bank and deposit funds in batches according to the progress of the project for Mr. C to mediate and turn over."

Aluko asked: "How much money can you provide?"

Li Rui said: "A B."
