Chapter 219: Minister visit

Vaccines researched by Blacklight Technology are temporarily only used in areas where epidemics have occurred in Africa and other countries.

  

   Although the vaccine has undergone a month of clinical trials, only minor side effects such as short-term redness and allergies have been found for the time being, but no one knows whether there will be more profound side effects on the human body after a long time.

  

   Therefore, except for areas in Africa that are in urgent need of vaccines, such as Central Continent and North America, they will not use this kind of vaccine without safety verification for their own people.

  

   In the mess in the African region, even if the vaccine is in front of them, the Earth Federation does not expect them to make vaccines by themselves. So the Earth Federation held several meetings to share the task of vaccine manufacturing.

  

Because there are a total of 1.2 billion people in the African region, all continents have to share some of each other, so the North America region is allocated 200 million vaccine manufacturing tasks, the Mid-Continent region is allocated 150 million, and the European region is also 1.5. 100 million, Beihaizhou 100 million, Oceania 100 million, Donghaizhou 100 million, and other continents share the remaining 400 million.

  

  India originally had to allocate at least 100 million tasks, but it was already overwhelmed. This continent with the world's largest slum population has long become a petri dish of the virus, and it is slightly better than Africa.

  

   In short, the next few months will be the period for vaccinating African people on all continents, and it will be completely over until everyone has antibodies, or the virus kills all those without antibodies.

  

   Looking at the reports on the news, Chen Chen shook his head with a sigh. After the plague, Africa was really broken.

  

   Just then, the door of Chen Chen's office was knocked.

  

   "Please come in."

  

   Chen Chen raised his head, but saw a gray-haired black old man push the door and walk in.

  

   This old man is Chen Chen’s old acquaintance, not someone else, but Zurama, Minister of Energy.

  

   "Minister Zurama, really a rare visitor."

  

   Chen Chen stood up courteously and said with a smile, "You should inform me earlier so I can go downstairs to meet you."

  

   "Mr. Chen see you outside."

  

   This old man over 60 has long lost his previous brilliance. At this time, he has a miserable expression. After seeing Chen Chen, he barely squeezed a smile and walked in.

  

   In the past two months, many high-ranking officials in Namibia have chosen to resign and left the country with their families. However, many officials still chose to stay, including Zulama.

  

   "Mr. Chen Chen, thank you for everything you have done for Namibia."

  

   Looking at the young man who is not arrogant or rash, Zurama can't help showing emotion, "If it were not for you, Namibia would be worse than it is now."

  

   "I didn't do anything."

  

   Chen Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, and then solemnly said, "I believe you have seen it too. I can't help the hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city."

  

   "You have done well enough. It is one month earlier than the time when the Earth Federation is expected to develop a vaccine, which is equivalent to saving thousands of millions of people."

  

   Zurama closed his eyes and sighed, "As for those people, we can only blame our country for being too weak..."

  

   Immediately, Zurama fell silent.

  

   Chen Chen didn't speak either, but just looked at the computer in his spare time, making the click of the mouse button from time to time.

  

About ten minutes later, Zurama finally couldn’t sit still. He suddenly took a deep breath and stood up as if determined to say, “I’m here on behalf of the National Assembly of Namibia. The second contribution made by the country is..."

  

When the word'two is' was said, Minister Zurama looked at Chen Chen again, but found that Chen Chen was still calm, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to say, "Secondly, we hope to be able to learn from Blackwatch. The company gives priority to two million vaccines..."

  

   Speaking of the back, Minister Zurama even blushed. It can be said that there is really no one in the government that has mixed up with it.

  

   "Yes, I agree."

  

   When he didn't expect that, Chen Chen didn't hesitate at all, so he agreed directly.

  

   Minister Zurama was stunned. It seemed that he had never expected that Chen Chen promised to be so refreshing. Then his eyes flashed with gratitude, "Thank you."

  

Chen Chen waved his hand. The reason Zurama deliberately emphasized this "priority" is because there are 60 countries in the entire African region, and the production of 1.2 billion vaccines will take several months. The more people died of the virus.

  

   Therefore, if the vaccine is obtained one day earlier, it means that the citizens of one's own country will die less and lose less.

  

  Since I have already opened this mouth, Zurama simply slammed his heart and said the rest, "Also, we want to...we want to get a grant from you."

  

   "No problem, we, Blacklight Technology, are willing to assist your country with US$500 million in humanitarian aid funds in the name of the company."

  

   Chen Chen nodded, still without hesitation.

  

   "Really, really?!"

  

   There was a hint of excitement in Minister Zurama's expression. The Congress had planned to bleed heavily, and even planned to sell dignity in exchange for Chen Chen's assistance, so Zurama was allowed to play the outpost.

  

   But who could have imagined that the other party would have promised so readily that the congress made a series of conditions without saying anything...

  

"of course it's true."

  

Chen Chen left the desk and sat on the sofa beside him. At the same time, he motioned to Zurama to sit down, "Although I am not a Namibian citizen, but I have been working with your country for so long. Now it is difficult for your country. Give it a hand."

  

   Chen Chen said with a smile, "There is an old saying in Zhongzhou District that I treat people with sincerity, and people treat me with sincerity. Now that I help your country, how many conditions should your country promise me?"

  

   It’s coming...

  

   Zurama suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard the words, "Please tell me, as long as the conditions are not too excessive, Congress will consider it."

  

   "Of course it is not an excessive condition."

  

Chen Chen nodded, "Do you still remember the 40 years of the 50,000 hectares of land I leased. Now that I think about it, forty years is too short. If I can, I hope it can be extended for another fifty-nine years. year."

  

"This……"

  

  Zulama's breathing suddenly stopped, and then he nodded bitterly, "I see, I will bring the request to Congress."

  

   "One more."

  

Chen Chen continued, "Since the trial operation of the nuclear power plant during this period, I have discovered a serious problem, that is, in my planning, the power resources are stretched, so I hope that from today onwards, the electricity produced by the nuclear power plant can be used by me. Freely distribute without being supervised by your country."

  

"you!"

  

   Zurama's face turned blue when he heard this.

  

  Why does Namibia want others to build a nuclear power plant on its own land because it can drive the development of the country. Now that the nuclear power plant is built, but its own country can’t even use its electricity, then what is the use of building this nuclear power plant?

  

   This is something that all governments cannot tolerate.

  

   "Sorry, the Congress cannot agree to this matter."

  

   Zu Lama's face was blue, and he said coldly, "Mr. Chen, let's change the terms."

  

   "Don't make a decision soon, Minister Zurama."

  

Chen Chen was not surprised by the response of the other party, but smiled indifferently, "If Congress finds it inappropriate, we can compromise. I will spend another 500 million US dollars to invest in a one million kilowatt firepower in the suburbs of Windhoek. The power plant provides development assistance to Windhoek. What do you think of this?"

  

   "……"

  

  Zurama fell silent.

  

Chen Chen knew that this was the heart of the other party, so he continued to strike while the iron was hot, "I remember that the thermal power plant near Windhoek has a history of 30 years. The unit has long been worn out, and Windhoek is often in a state of power cuts. If there is another power station to provide power to the capital, this old generator set can be upgraded and even freed up to support nearby cities. This is a win-win situation..."

  

   "What do you say about the electricity bill?"

  

   Zu Lama asked suddenly.

  

   "I can hand over the entire power plant to Congress for operation."

  

  Chen Chen Chen Chen thought for a while, and said, "I only charge one rental fee and it's enough. I charge one month...One million dollars!"

  

  Zurama was surprised, "Are you serious?"

  

   In his opinion, the rental fee of one million dollars a month is almost the same as giving away for nothing!

  

   "Children are not bullied."

  

  Zulama's expression slowly eased, he took a deep look at Chen Chen, and then sat back on the sofa.

  

   I have to say that the influence of the young man in front of him has grown to the point where the National Assembly of Namibia is almost unable to restrain it.

  

  Zurama still remembers that he had read the semi-annual financial statement submitted by Blackwatch to the Taxation Department. It shows that in the first half of 2023, the net income of hundreds of infirmaries in Life Sciences City reached 18 billion U.S. dollars!

  

   What kind of number is this?

  

   Last year, in 2022, Namibia’s annual GDP was only US$15.036 billion. That is to say, the net income of an organization under Blackwatch alone has exceeded Namibia’s gross national product!

  

And Zulama still remembers that Life Science City is just a branch of Blackwatch. I heard that this company also has a Swiss branch and Nakasu head office, and especially the head office focuses on technology. The annual profit of such products is more than hundreds of millions of dollars...

  

   And the conditions set out by myself at the beginning, but there is a three-year tax exemption and five-year half-tax exemption period, which means that no matter how much money Blackwatch Company makes in three years, it has nothing to do with the Namibian government...

  

  Sometimes, Zurama even wants to desperately want to take this life science city as his own. If this private city can become an industry in Namibia, then the national strength of the country will definitely be improved?

  

   It is a pity that Congress dare not do this, and no country in the world dares to do it. If any country does this, the credibility will be over.

  

   Looking at the young people who have been so busy around him, Zurama sighed secretly, "I understand, I will discuss these conditions with the Congress. I only hope that Mr. Chen, you can get a vaccine for us as soon as possible."

  

   Finally, Zurama even used the word "you" for the first time.

  

   "The vaccine can arrive at Namibia airport within three days."

  

Chen Chen nodded and said, "Not only vaccines, but I can also provide all disposable medical equipment. For the sake of my sincerity, Minister Zurama can also release my request. In the heart."

  

"Of course."

  

  Zurama also solemnly answered, and the transaction between the two parties is a preliminary guest and host.

  

   Now that the preliminary agreement was reached, the smell of gunpowder from the past dissipated, and smiles appeared on the faces of the two of them, and the sound of "grumbling: boiling water" was heard on Chen Chen's desk.

  

   "What sound?" Zurama was taken aback.

  

   "Minister Zurama may not understand the tea culture of our Zhongzhou District."

  

   Chen Chen stood up, placed a tea sea on the desk and placed it in front of the two of them. At the same time, he skillfully took out the tiny tea cups with tools, placed them on the tea sea, and started to make tea.

  

"tea culture?"

  

   Zulama was slightly surprised, "I know the tea in Zhongzhou District, but what is the tea culture?"

  

   Chen Chen smiled, did not speak, but made tea and brewed tea step by step according to the process he had read on the Internet. Gradually, a fragrance of tea was released.

  

   At the end, Chen Chen placed a cup of light green liquid in front of Zulama, "Try it?"

  

  Zulama raised his eyebrows, then took the teacup and drank it.

  

   Suddenly, a fragrance spreads in the mouth...

  

   "I've never had tea with this flavor!" Zurama suddenly exclaimed.

  

   "I'm showing my ugliness."

  

   Chen Chenqian gave in, "By the way, Minister Zurama, has the number of deaths in your country been counted?"

  

   "No, Congress is unable to make statistics so far."

  

   Zu Lama's face is a bit heavy~lightnovelpub.net~Mr. Chen Chen, how many people do you think are killed or injured in Africa this time? "

  

"a lot of."

  

Chen Chen lowered his eyes, "Although the news has always claimed that the death toll from the plague is between 30 million, this data only comes from countries on the periphery of the epidemic. There are more than a dozen countries that are really at the center of the epidemic, such as Rainbow Country and Angola. In your country, it has already lost its statistical ability. Some small countries have even died out."

  

   "So, the true death toll must be far beyond the number of 30 million."

  

   Chen Chen added, “Although this number sounds sensational, it is actually a comforting lie. The real death toll should be more than ten times that of 30 million...”

  

"Ugh……"

  

  Although he was prepared, Zurama still felt a little shocked after Chen Chen said it himself. He stood up and turned and walked out the door, "Okay, thank you for your hospitality, I should go back too..."

  

   Chen Chen sent the other party to the gate, watching the obviously older Minister of Energy leave step by step, and couldn't help shaking his head.

  

  Like this dual minister of the Ministry of Investment and Energy, he formed a party in Congress and accepted bribes by all means.

  

   But, before this kind of national disaster is at stake, he resolutely chose to stay in the country and stand on the front line of the fight against the epidemic...

  

   I have to say that sometimes people are really complex creatures.
