As a foreign high-ranking official who came to study, Kikwete naturally lived in a single room.
After the staff left, the two of them sat down in the room. Kikwete sized up Wang Ye and said in stuttering Chinese,
"Young man."
"I don't seem to know anyone."
"I heard that you came to see me as a friend.”
"Do you know what your goal is?"
Hearing Kikwete's words, Wang Ye nodded with a smile and said,"
"First, let me introduce myself."
"My name is Wang Ye."
"It's not easy to see you."
"So, I'm very sorry about that lie.”
"But I believe that we will become friends very soon!”
In this era, China had just opened up, and there were very few foreigners in China. The Chinese were also very curious about the attitude of foreigners, as if they were going to the zoo to see monkeys for the first time.
Therefore, when a Chinese person said that they would soon become friends, Kikwete felt that this young man was not ordinary. In fact, he could be considered special compared to other Chinese people he had met.
Of course.
The fact that he could find him through all sorts of channels already proved this point.
Thinking of this…
Kikwete chuckled and said,
"It's about friends."
"We need some time to get the results.”
"But Wang Ye, you haven't answered yet.”
"My question just now."
Wang Ye, who was sitting opposite him, patted his handbag and said,
"I'm here this time."
"It's Hope and Mr. Kikwete."
"A business deal!"
When he heard that Wang Ye wanted to do business with him, Kikwete's curiosity grew. As someone who had received higher education and had been in politics for many years, Kikwete instantly understood one thing.
Wang Ye did not want to do business with him.
The higher possibility was that he wanted to do business with the country behind him, which was Tanzania!
In the current era.
From the perspective of China and Tanzania.
There were only two types of business.
The first type.
China would provide some support to Tanzanians, such as the well-known Tanzania-Zara railway. Then, China would use these free support projects to exchange for other conveniences and resources.
The second possibility.
It was the firearms business.
It had been three to four years since Tanzania had been mired in war.
Because the current commander admired China very much, and China's weapons were very cost-effective, there were many arms transactions.
"Oh?"
"So, Wang Ye, you represent…Lai Yang Steel Plant?"
"I didn't know you wanted to be with me."
"Or should I say, do some business with Tanzania?”
Looking at Kikwete's smile, Wang Ye took out the steel pipe from his bag and handed it over.
"We'll do this business."
"Seamless steel pipe!"
Kikwete took the steel pipe from Wang Ye and sized it up. His expression became serious!
It was a gun barrel!
It was not an ordinary seamless steel pipe at all!
At this moment.
Kikwete looked at the gun barrel in his hand and then at the young man in front of him. A smile appeared on his face. He felt that he had roughly guessed the reason behind this.
No matter which country it was, the firearms business was not something that ordinary people could do.
However, it was obvious that this smart young man in front of him, or rather, the Laiyang Steel Plant, hoped to bypass those restrictions through a certain method and enjoy the profits brought by the firearms business.
But to be honest.
Kikwete was not interested in this business.
The reason why he came to China to study was because he was a genius.
On one hand, it was because the current commander of Tanzania hoped to send people to learn advanced commanding techniques and experience from China. Then, they would come back to build a better army and increase the combat effectiveness of the army.
As for the second aspect.
Of course, it was the result of internal strife.
After all, he had been in China for more than a year, and his original position had to be removed. It was uncertain if he would still have a position when he returned. No one was willing to give up their power to be a student.
Except for the unlucky ones who didn't have a strong backing.
It was obvious.
Kikwete was that unlucky bastard!
Therefore, for Kikwete, if he could negotiate a large arms deal with the Chinese military and bring it back, it would definitely be beneficial to his career development when he returned.
However, these gun barrels were obviously useless.
Thinking of this…
Kikwete had already lost interest in talking to Wang Ye. In his opinion, Wang Ye was a smart person who wanted to make a fortune here. He smiled and shook his head, pretending to be confused.
"Tell me the truth."
"I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Wang Ye.”
"I think you know it very well."
"What exactly is this thing!"
Noticing the change in Kikwete's expression, Wang Ye chuckled and said,
"Your homeland."
"We've been going through war in recent years.”
" We have a huge demand for weapons."
"Isn't it?"
"Whatever you need, I will provide. This is a deal!”
"There's a popular saying in China now."
"The customer is God!"
Seeing that Wang Ye was still alive, Kikwete waved his hand and refused again.
"You're right."
"My country is in the quagmire of war and needs a large number of guns, ammunition, and weapons.”
"But if you buy the assembled weapon directly, you can use it to buy the weapon.”
"It's more convenient for us!"
Hearing Kikwete's words, Wang Ye immediately laughed and shook his head with a rather laughable expression. Kikwete, who noticed Wang Ye's expression, couldn't help but ask,
"What's wrong?"
"Could it be that Mr. Wang Ye is on a mission?"
"Am I wrong?"
Then, Wang Ye looked up at Kikwete and said,
"Mr. Kikwete."
"In my opinion, you're a smart person, so I'll only say three things.”
"First place."
"You should understand the difference between the price of a complete rifle and the price of a steel pipe!”
"You are wholeheartedly devoted to the country."
"Wouldn't it be good if we could save some foreign exchange?”
"Second."
"The development of any country starts from scratch.”
"For example, your motherland, Tanzania, doesn't have the ability to manufacture weapons now. Don't you want to have it in the future?”
"For a gun, the barrel is the most difficult part to produce.”
"From purchasing parts to being able to manufacture them independently.”
"I have to take the first step!"
"Third."
"If you can do this well."
"I think the name of the father of firearms in your country should be Kikwete!”
"In that case…"
"Do you still need to worry about the development after you go back?”
Wang Ye's voice was like a loud bell ringing in Kikwete's ears. At that moment, Kikwete even thought that Wang Ye was more like a qualified politician than him!
He took one step at a time and planned for himself step by step!
He couldn't refuse at all!
In the quiet room, only Kikwete's heavy breathing could be heard. After a while, he raised his head and nodded heavily.
"You're right."
"We need to save on foreign exchange."
"The development of the country should also take the first step!”
"Then let's talk now."
"The price of your steel pipe!”
At that moment, the corners of Wang Ye's mouth curled up, revealing a brilliant smile!
