I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

After Chen Ling arrived in Luanda, the first thing was to visit Xu Jinghua.

Xu Jinghua is busy with a major event. He wants to introduce a large oil company from China to compete for oil fields in Angola.

Xu Jinghua once asked Chen Ling if he was interested in participating, but Chen Ling declined.

China's oil and gas industry is completely controlled by the state, and several large companies are gradually moving overseas. Chen Ling does not have any competitive advantage in this field.

The relationship is with Jinghua Xu. The capital and technology belong to Huaguo's oil company. Chen Ling looks at his face and takes up some share, but he has no initiative or right to speak. Chen Ling feels meaningless.

"Mr. Chen, the current oil industry is very profitable, do you really want to try it?" Xu Jinghua once again persuaded Chen Ling in his big office.

Chen Ling was playing with a cigar in his hand, and it smelled good.

"Forget it, my little arms and legs are not enough in the oil industry." Chen Ling smiled, "I understand your kindness."

Xu Jinghua said bewildered: "Indeed, no matter who we are, we have small arms and legs compared to state-controlled giants. However, we are not all fighting and fighting, we just pay some money to participate in the stock, and we can share the profits in the future."

Chen Ling stood up, walked to the new aquarium and said, “Some people raise fish for food, some people raise fish for sale, and some people raise fish for viewing and Feng Shui. My purpose in Africa is not. For making money, but for Feng Shui."

This sentence was unfathomable, and Jinghua continued thinking for a while but didn't understand what it meant.

Chen Ling pointed to a red fish and said, "I am the fish inside, for the sake of others' feng shui."

Xu Jinghua looked at the fish for a while and asked, "Have you read the Buddhist scriptures recently?"

Chen Ling was kind on the surface, but forced Xu Jinghua to kill Wan Jun who wanted to let go, and afterwards personally inspected the body. Xu Jinghua didn't believe that Chen Ling was a good person.

"I have this tank of water. No amount of money means much to me personally." Chen Ling said, "What I want is influence. Such an aquarium can affect you for such a big building. Feng Shui, this is what I want."

Xu Jinghua was surprised: "Do you want to influence the entire Africa?"

Africa covers an area of ​​13 million square kilometers and has a population of one billion. It is divided into dozens of countries, each in its own right. There are very few people or institutions that can affect Africa as a whole, and they are all in the political sphere.

Chen Ling smiled and said, "I don't have this subjective will, it will only be an objective result."

Xu Jinghua touched his beard and couldn't figure out what Chen Ling meant, so he returned to the simplest question: "Anyway, it's always good to make more money and more strength, right?"

"Indeed it is."

Chen Ling does not deny that his various projects actually require money, and MOIN company spends money every day.

"But I still said that in order to make money, spend money on places where I have no influence. I don't think it makes much sense." Chen Ling put the accent on the three words "influence".

The most important purpose of coming to Angola from Namibia this time is to declare influence to all companies and people who want to work with him.

Xu Jinghua thought for a while, determined that he could not let Chen Ling be a major shareholder, and finally gave up on this topic and asked, "Then why are you so interested in engineering projects?"

"There are many reasons. One of the reasons is that the driving force of the engineering project is very strong. A Benguela railway can drive hundreds of millions of dollars in product exports, labor services, and knowledge and concepts. Many people have benefited... so , You have to help me find some engineering projects."

Xu Jinghua smiled and said, "There are many projects, I'm afraid you will be too busy."

Chen Ling walked to the window and pointed to the sea: "Now I am not the aquarium fish in the aquarium. I am the commander of the combined maritime fleet. I can do any number of projects. I found you today, and I will go tomorrow. Looking for Miranda is also looking for projects."

Su Jinghua laughed and said, "Excuse me, where am I in your combined fleet?"

"What position do you want?"

"The combined fleet needs fuel. I am the one responsible for supplying fuel!"

...

...

Chen Ling seeing Miranda is another scene. In a small battlefield, Chen Ling showed his control to the fullest.

Like Xu Jinghua, Miranda also has its own "big gold mine" to dig.

She obtained a mobile communication operating license in Angola and invited Chen Ling to invest.

"On the two mobile communication operators in the country, we can definitely be the first in the country and build a real cash cow." Miranda's statement is very tempting. With tens of millions of people in Angola, if the operator can be ranked first, the daily income will be very considerable.

Chen Ling is convinced that Miranda can do this, and said: "Xinghua Technology will definitely be very interested in your business. I will inform them and I hope you can cooperate."

Miranda sat up, the mattress was very elastic, and she quivered a few times and said, "That's all trivial. What I want to say is you, I invite you to contribute some money to expand the company with me. "

"I understand what you mean, but I have one condition." Chen Ling said.

He kept his posture and lay lazily: "You are a major shareholder, but I want the right to operate and manage the enterprise."

It's still a truth, and Chen Ling doesn't participate if it's just making money.

Miranda turned around, wondering: "Aren't you annoying this kind of thing the most?"

"Yes, I will find a professional team to manage it in the future, but I don't understand."

Miranda didn't understand even more: "In this case, you have shares and you can enjoy the dividends. Why do you need control?"

"If I say I want to build an operator with business all over Africa, believe it or not?" Chen Ling said with a smile.

If Miranda gives him control, he invests; if not, he does not invest.

If we can use the Angolan market as an opportunity to enter the telecommunications industry, and then expand to more countries, this is also a good thing.

Chen Ling's intention is temporary, just talk about it casually.

Miranda thought for a while, and asked: "What if you lose the company or go bankrupt?"

Chen Ling smiled and said: "How is it possible? Angola will not issue more licenses. Only two operators will make money no matter how they operate."

Miranda stared at him for a while, shook her head and said, "No, we have to sign an agreement. If you lose money, I will get back the right to operate."

"Yes. Let them talk about it specifically, let's continue to talk about the engineering project."

...

...

With more projects in hand, Chen Ling feels like he has more carrots in his hands when training animals. With a big stick, he will definitely have an effect. Mr. Feng is full of confidence and anxious for the heads of various companies to meet.

However, when he saw a group of strange Chinese sitting in the conference room, he felt offended.

He asked: "President Feng, they have all changed? Where is Tang Yongyue? Where is the old Li from CR company?"

Mr. Feng smiled bitterly and said: "We have notified them that they are not in Luanda, so we sent someone else to represent them."

"Do you know in advance?"

"I didn't know until now. Mr. Chen, they are hiding from you."

Chen Ling frowned, took out his cell phone to make a call, and then stopped.

"President Feng, announce this time the list of projects and the list of new companies. The country's top leader who is not present today does not have the qualifications to participate in the new projects."

The discussion in the conference room was buzzing.

The representative of CS company stood up and said, "Mr. Chen, this is not fair. We didn't notice that there were new projects in advance. We don't know."

The representative of CR Company also said: "President Feng, the meeting notice said that the coordination relationship between various units has suddenly changed today? We are not prepared at all!"

This representative must have come to the meeting without knowing the real situation.

This is pitted by superiors.

Some people say it is unfair, and naturally others say it is fair.

The representatives of several newly-joined companies were the top leaders sent to Angola. They supported Chen Ling's decision and criticized CS and CR for not paying attention to this meeting.

Chen Ling raised his hand to calm everyone down, and announced another decision.

Chen Ling's decision was simple, but it weighed heavily on Feng Zonglai.
