The full name of Gangbi was the Gangbi Republic, located in the west of the equator.
It was bordered by the Atlantic Ocean in the west and surrounded by Senegal in the north, east and south. Its land area was only about 13,000 square kilometers, which might not even be the size of some counties in China.
Gangbi was a war-torn country. It was invaded by other countries from the 15th to the 16th century, and then colonized by Britain and France.
In the 1960s, the Gangbi Kingdom became a semi-autonomous government. It was not until the end of the 20th century that the Gangbi Kingdom truly declared its independence. After the New Era, it announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Turks and established an embassy to restore diplomatic relations.
Gangbi was the smallest country in the Equator Continent. It was an agricultural country. After independence, the local government had carried out a series of reforms. The government had also begun to implement economic recovery and development plans to stabilize the macro economy, reduce the budget deficit, improve the government's revenue and expenditure structure, control the rate of inflation, and use the market mechanism to encourage private enterprises, promote economic restructuring, and maintain the stability of the macro economy.
However, due to the weak economic foundation of the Gangbi Nation, its economic scale and market were small, and its structure was single. It was heavily dependent on external factors, and its population was growing too fast. Therefore, it could not even be self-sufficient in food.
It could be said to be one of the poorest countries in the world.
Therefore, the Gangbi government approached the government, hoping to borrow money from the government to build a communication base station in their country to achieve communication and network coverage, as well as to buy food.
Therefore, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Education formed a negotiation delegation.
Of course, some people might think that the country would be a fool to lend money to foreign countries and use the borrowed money to build communication bases and provide food for them.
Actually, that was not the case.
Although the country lent money to foreign countries, the prerequisite was that the foreign countries needed to use the money to let domestic enterprises contract projects. In this way, the money would be returned in a flash, while the domestic countries would only pay some manpower and material costs.
And how much would he gain?
For example, if the negotiations were successful, the country would only need to recruit some local workers and build some factories in Gangby. In return, they would gain at least 20 to 30 years of exclusive communications and food supply in Gangby.
Think about it, what did it mean to control the communications and food of a country?
I don't need to say anything more, everyone should understand.
Compared to the gains, what was the sacrifice?!
Of course, these were all off-topic.
On the second day, the Ministry of Commerce had a discussion with the local government of Gangbi regarding foreign trade and economy. The Ministry of Commerce was led by Deputy Director Song Yuping, while the other side was personally led by a minister.
From this, one could see the difference between countries.
The Chinese government submitted a sample of the contract, and the two sides discussed the terms of the contract. However, they only focused on some small details. The specific aspects had been communicated many times over the phone and in documents, so the progress was relatively smooth.
However, because the food supply and the establishment of the communication base station involved many aspects, the progress was not fast, but it was not slow either.
During this period, Gu Chen fully played his role as a translator and completed his work smoothly.
It was worth mentioning that because Mandingo was a small language, even the locals were not very proficient in it.
However, Gu Chen translated it very fluently and even adapted to the local language. This was especially praised by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Gangbi, and he was in the limelight.
With Gu Chen's smooth translation, both parties reached an agreement on the contract in less than two days. Then, the team leaders of both parties met and signed the contract.
At the time of departure, both sides shook hands to express their gratitude. The negotiation as a whole proceeded and ended in a friendly atmosphere.
Gu Chen also learned a lot from this diplomatic negotiation.
Although he was already an economic counselor of a small country in his previous life, experience was very important to the diplomatic system.
Every qualified diplomat had their own unique diplomatic skills and wisdom. Although Deputy Director Song Yuping was from the Ministry of Commerce, he had a unique side to him. In addition, he had been doing foreign affairs and economic work for a long time, so Gu Chen had learned a lot.
Three days later, Gu Chen and the diplomatic delegation flew back to China and arrived in Beijing smoothly.
The negotiation had been going smoothly, and there weren't any obstacles in the middle. As for the local rich second-generation heirs who were often seen in novels, they didn't encounter any of those things.
What a joke. I already said that it was a novel.
Gangbi was so poor, how could there be so many brainless second-generation heirs!
Moreover, they were representing the Chinese government to conduct business negotiations in Gangbi. Although the level of this negotiation was low, it was still an official diplomatic activity. Who would dare to come out and scare them?
Aren't they afraid of being arrested as terrorists?!
When Gu Chen got off the airport, he immediately received a notification from the system.
"Congratulations, host. You have successfully completed the mission. You have obtained a beginner lottery chance. Please check carefully.”
