Chapter 369 Sending warmth and love
"The appearance of this Forbes company is too ugly." After returning to Huating, Qin Tao said with a smile: "There is no harm without comparison. Only by letting them compare can we see who is the real friend and who is the conspiracy behind it." Home."
“Taozi, do you know the contents of their agreement?” Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao curiously.
“Although I don’t have an intelligence system, I do have a brain.” Qin Tao said, “You can figure out what this Forbes company wants to do by using your brain.”
“What are you doing?”
“They want to turn Gwadar Port into a military base for them.”
Wu Shengli opened his eyes wide: "Isn't this traitorous?"
Qin Tao smiled: "So, I say don't worry."
The capital of Laoba.
Edward Forbes holds the just-signed agreement in his hand with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Ektat, we are very happy that this agreement can be signed in such a short time. You have helped us a lot, and we will not treat you badly." Edward looked at the people sitting next to him.
Ektat was the person in charge of introducing foreign capital for investment. Edward found him and asked to develop Gwadar Port. After hearing this, he was very enthusiastic and immediately contacted the local government of Gwadar Port and other officials at all levels in the capital. In a short period of time, the investment project of Gwadar Port was completed.
“It is our honor to serve American companies.” Ektat said: “We believe that under the development of Forbes Company, Gwadar Port will develop rapidly and become a world-class port.”
"Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation." Edward stretched out his hand.
The two of them held their hands together.
Edward put the agreement in his briefcase and left the conference room. Just as he was walking downstairs, a man walked towards him and bumped into him, and the briefcase in his hand flew out.
"sorry Sorry."
The other party apologized profusely.
This episode did not attract Edward's attention. However, that night, all the major newspapers and TV stations in Laoba received an anonymous letter. When they opened it, their faces were extremely ugly.
At a certain TV station, the program being broadcast was interrupted, and a host's image was inserted.
"Today, we received a piece of news. Although we don't know whether it is true or not, we need to announce it and ask the audience to identify whether the news is true or false. If it is false, the best. If it is true, then we We need to find out who betrayed our sovereignty."
“Without an international tender and without attracting any attention, Forbes signed an agreement to develop the Gwadar port, according to which Forbes’ control includes not only the deep-sea port but also the land extension. Within the company’s scope Within the company, they not only enjoy police patrol rights, but can also decide to take various security and defense measures independently. For example, in order to ensure their safety and facilitate patrols by security personnel, the company can build walls and lighting systems around them. In order to ensure that the company communicates with the United States headquarters and the world With the smooth communication of other branches, Forbes Company wants to establish an independent electronic communication network. Its main facilities include satellite ground stations, microwave transmission towers, etc. The company can even build its own airport and flight runway. We can see I’ve only seen agreements like this in military bases.”
“Now, we want to ask whether this news is true or false, and who betrayed our sovereignty!”
The host's voice was angry.
This news spread quickly throughout the country, and public opinion arose everywhere.
Huating.
Qin Tao, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, was receiving the attention gift from Wu Shengli: "Taozi, you really hit the mark. The Americans plan to use Gwadar Port as a military base. However, now the public opinion has spread Yes, the local government of Gwadar Port over there has publicly announced that it refuses to accept such conditions and they require open bidding."
Qin Tao smiled. It is not uncommon for a few traitors to appear in any country. However, the actions of these people will not change the direction of history. After all, most people are still sensible and can distinguish right from wrong.
“Well, I’m going to be very busy next time.” Qin Tao said, “I originally planned to stay here and wait for Xiaoling to have a baby, but now I have to go out.”
"Brother Tao, you are doing big things. Do whatever you want to do. Don't always think about me. If you do, I will feel guilty." Zhao Ling said from the side: "Are you going to participate in the tender?"
"The discussion between us and Laoba's military must have been known by some guys, so they want to destroy our plan. However, since the other party has issued a challenge, we have to accept it." Qin Tao said: " Next, I need to go to Gwadar Port for a walk and participate in the bidding. By the way, Dad, you have to do me a favor."
“What are you busy with?”
“It’s not interesting for me to take a few people there. I need to take a lot of people there.”
“Many people? What are you doing?”
“Send warmth and love.”
"make it clear!"
"Our navy's medical team can be lent to me. It doesn't need to be too many. Five medical vehicles and twenty or thirty medical staff are enough. Those who can speak Urdu are best. Bring a certain amount of medical personnel." Medicine, let them know who their true friends are.”
“That’s okay.” Wu Shengli nodded, and then looked at Zhao Xiu’e.
There is no need for Wu Shengli to come forward at all. Zhao Xiu'e works in the military medical system.
Zhao Xiu'e nodded: "Okay, I will help coordinate."
“Taozi, be careful when you go out this time.” Wu Shengli warned again: “After all, your opponent is an American.”
American? Qin Tao smiled: "Dad, look at the opposition voices coming from Lao Ba. How dare the Americans go to the public bidding again? They will find an agent."
“Agent?”
“Yes, this time when we bid, our biggest competitors will be Singaporeans.”
Wu Shengli looked at his son-in-law curiously: "How do you know?"
"My guess."
“Tell the truth, don’t beat around the bush.”
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gwadar Port is good for us. Once we have this port, the number of people traveling to Malacca will be reduced. How can the largest shipping country in Malacca be willing to do so?" Qin Tao can only give The father-in-law analyzed: "They will jump out and destroy it. The best way is to successfully bid for the development rights of the port and then let the port continue to be abandoned."
Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, your analysis makes sense."
“They still want to deceive me.” Zhao Ling interjected.
“Yes, so our Mingzhou Group has a heavy responsibility. We need to expose their ugly faces and sinister intentions.”
In the 1990s, the Gwadar region was still very backward.
From a topographic point of view, the Gwadar area extends directly to the sea on the originally flat coastline, with a large protrusion. As it goes deeper into the sea, the protruding part becomes narrower and narrower. However, at the narrowest point, suddenly, A large area of land quickly expanded outward, like a rectangular hammer installed on the top of a triangle.
At the point where the triangle and the rectangle touch, it is a perfect natural harbor!
(Triangle and rectangle are just general references. To be more specific, the triangular part is more like Mimi, and the rectangular part is like a hammer, or the side of a chariot.)
Among them, the right side of this corner is the most suitable, and the later Gwadar Port was located at this location.
Now, there are seven or eight fishing boats of various sizes gathered here, and almost all the people in Gwadar are fishermen.
Looking around, the vegetation here is very sparse. Except for patches of dead grass, there is almost no vegetation. The ground is gradually entering desertification.
Several children are playing.
They only wore a pair of shorts, and the rest of their bodies were naked. They were exposed to the sun all year round, making them look dark.
“Habiba, look, what’s that in front of you?”
"Cobra! We have lunch!" The child named Habiba became excited: "Slow down and go around behind it!"
Although cobras look scary, to these people who have lived here since childhood, they are not a dangerous thing at all, but a good meal for them.
Habiba is even more of a master at catching snakes among these children.
They held their breath.
Habiba walked over slowly, step after step, but the snake still didn't react at all.
Suddenly, Habiba was as fast as lightning and reached out to grab the cobra within seven inches.
Although snakes are venomous, as long as they are caught in this important position, the venom will be ineffective against him.
Habiba's hand continued to move upward, intending to pull out the entire snake's body.
“Two heads!” At this moment, other children shouted.
Who would have thought that this cobra actually has two heads!
Habiba also became nervous. He stretched out his other hand, intending to grab the snake's head on the other side, but it was too late. The cobra that was attacked quickly turned its head on the other side and faced Habiba's. The arm is a mouthful.
“Ah!” Habiba screamed.
He threw away the cobra and screamed while looking at the wound area. There were only two thin wounds, but the blood flowing out of them was already black.
“Habiba, Habiba, how are you?” The other children screamed.
“Quick, go find my grandpa!”
Habiba’s grandfather, Qedir, is the head of their fishing village. (According to local custom, it seems that he should be called elder.) This is an old man with gray hair and beard.
"Habiba, Habiba!" Kedir called his grandson's name, but his grandson could no longer hear his call. With his calloused hands, he tremblingly opened his grandson's eyelids and saw A pair of eyes that have begun to wander.
"Habiba, Habiba! You are gone like this. Your father has gone to sea to fish, and I will never see you again!" At this moment, Qedir burst into tears.
Kedir is over seventy years old. In his life, he has seen five or six people in the village die because of poisonous snake bites. He felt extremely sad, but he had no other choice.
Hum, buzz!
At this moment, a dark green six-wheeled off-road vehicle painted with a red cross logo parked next to it. Several people in white coats jumped out of the vehicle.
“Are you a doctor?”
“That’s right, we are the Chinese medical team, here for voluntary treatment. Come on, let’s take a look.” As the leading female doctor spoke, she ran to Habiba who was lying on the ground.
“The poisoning is deep and he has symptoms of shock. He needs to be injected with norepinephrine immediately!”
The nurse behind him opened the medical kit and took out the injection.
The children present all opened their eyes wide.
inject!
Only hospitals in large places have treatment methods such as injections. Here, among dozens of nearby villages, there is only one doctor named Abdul Kader in the small town of Faqur. He is simply too busy. If he falls ill, , all solved by the villagers themselves using local methods.
Now, for the first time, they saw such a magical thing as injection.
A tube of injection was injected into Habiba's body. They looked at the magical transparent liquid and were filled with envy.
“Come on, sucker, absorb the poison!”
A rubber **** was placed on the wound on Habiba's arm and began to absorb the venom inside. However, as time passed, the venom inside had begun to spread and not much was absorbed.
“Saline solution! Clean the wound!”
The female doctor is calm and calm.
When the physiological saline rushed to Habiba's arm, his arm actually moved, which made Qedir very happy: "Habiba, Habiba, wake up, wake up!"
As if hearing Qedir’s call, Habiba slowly opened her eyes.
At this moment, Qedir burst into tears. He thought the child would die, but unexpectedly, he came back alive!
At this time, the nurse had already bandaged Habiba’s wound.
Habiba's eyes rolled around, looking at everything around him: "Am I not dead? Or is this heaven? Why are there such beautiful angels in white?"
"That's right, kid, it was these angels in white who saved you!" Elder Qedir burst into tears and looked at the several medical staff. Then he bent his knees and planned to kneel down.
“Old man, please get up, don’t do this.” The female doctor quickly went to pull him.
"As doctors, it is our bounden duty to save lives and heal the wounded. As Chinese, we have a legacy of friendship with the Pakistani people." The female doctor continued: "These are what we should do."
“Children, you must remember that the Chinese are good friends of our Pakistani people, and will always be good friends!” Qedir said excitedly, holding Habiba’s hand.
“Yes, we are good friends forever. By the way, where is your village? We can go to the village and help treat diseases voluntarily.”
“Thank you, thank you!” Qadir was even more excited: “Our village is over there, I will take you there.”
The medical team entered the village. There were houses built of mud and thatched roofs everywhere. There was a fishy smell in the whole village.
The doctor is here!
The doctor from China is here!
This news quickly spread throughout the village, and many people came after hearing the news, and a long queue formed in front of the village chief's house.
"Doctor, can you come to my house to see me?" When it was an old woman's turn, the person was a little nervous: "My child cannot see the light. As long as he is exposed to the sun, the skin on his body will peel and become soft. Like fish scales.”
“Photosensitivity dermatitis? Okay, wait until I can spare my hands to take a look.” The female doctor said: “Don’t worry, this is not a serious illness. It only takes a few days of symptomatic medication to heal.”
“Doctor, why do you get this disease?”
“This disease is mainly a dietary problem. The lack of fresh vegetables in the food can easily lead to this disease.” said the female doctor.
I see!
They are close to the sea, and almost everyone makes a living by fishing. There are only withered yellow weeds near the village, but there are very few crops. This is because there is a serious lack of fresh water in the local area, and there is not enough for people to drink, let alone grow vegetables.
In the center of the peninsula, there is a small town called Faqur.
Before coming here, you can imagine that the conditions here are backward. However, the specific reasons for the backwardness are beyond your imagination. Only when you see it with your own eyes can you fully understand it.
“It feels like I’m back before liberation.” Bai Jie, the head of the medical team who came here with Qin Tao, said, “I didn’t expect that there is such a backward place in Laoba.”
“So, we are going to come here, change everything here, and make it modern.” Qin Tao said: “Lao Bai, our medical team is the pioneer. I am grateful for your work.”
"This is what we should do, Mr. Qin, you are doing big things, and it is our honor to be able to help you." Bai Jie said sincerely.
"This is what you said, Lao Bai. When you need to take turns staying here in the future, don't get emotional."
“Permanent?”
“That’s right, I have decided to build a hospital here at the tertiary level. You need to send a large number of doctors here to treat the disease.”
"As long as you build the hospital, we can send doctors here. It's not like one person is stationed permanently and everyone comes here in turn. Everyone should be willing," Bai Jie replied.
Qin Tao nodded, this matter has been arranged.
“Mr. Qin, you have a very far-sighted vision and a very clever approach. If Americans learn this trick from you, I’m afraid they won’t leave in despair.”
Hearing Bai Jie's praise, Qin Tao shook his head: "It's not the look or the technique, it's the position. That American company came here and wanted to ride high on the heads of these people, so they are destined to be It’s untenable. We are here to develop the local economy and let them live a good life, so they will definitely choose us as their partner.”
“Mr. Qin, the Gwadar Port Development Committee has informed us that the bidding activity will be officially launched tomorrow morning, and we hope that we will actively prepare for it.”
The news from Xu Zhengyang made Qin Tao nod with satisfaction: "Yes, I understand. We are fully prepared."
Due to the behind-the-scenes operation of the American company, it caused a great stir of public opinion in the society. Therefore, the subsequent bidding for Gwadar Port was made open and transparent. The bidding location was set up in Gwadar Port itself, in this place called Faqu. In the small town of Gwadar, a special Gwadar Port Development Committee was formed. Personnel sent by superiors worked with local people to decide the future of Gwadar Port.
Due to the sensational effect last time, there will be a large number of reporters gathering at that time. For Faqur, this is an unprecedented event.
the next day.
Village chief Qaidir walked dozens of miles to reach Faquer. Although he had traveled a long distance, he was still full of energy.
“Kedir, you are here, come and sit next to me!” Abdul, the head of another village, greeted him.
Two people sat together, playing with the tickets they had just received when entering.
Since the meeting had not started yet, the two of them started talking after they sat down.
“What is going on? Call us all?” Qedir asked.
“I heard that someone wants to develop our Gwadar Port.”
Hearing Abdul's words, Qedir immediately shook his head: "No, we must not let outsiders get involved in our territory! We have lived here for generations, and those foreigners want to ride on our heads and enslave us. We have no way!"
"Yeah, for a while, no matter what proposals those people made, we shook our heads and refused. In short, as long as we don't agree, the superiors can't touch our land. There are so many reporters watching!"
The two of them made up their minds.
At this time, most reporters are still outside. After all, the venue used for bidding is too small, and they are also waiting for the arrival of the big shots.
However, there are also a few reporters who have stayed here. For example, Bux, this reporter who came all the way from the capital, has been conducting interviews on the spot these days. He is also thinking about what kind of investment it is. Only in this way can it really be beneficial to this place?
In short, it is absolutely unacceptable for American companies to do that. If this happens again, they will completely expose the inside story!
Thinking of this, Bukesh tightened his grip on the tape recorder in his hand. This was his weapon!
At this moment, there was a commotion outside.
Two luxury cars drove over and the people in the cars got out.
Lee Ming Yew, the representative of the Port of Singapore, stepped out of the car with a smile, then walked a few steps quickly to greet the people who got off the car in front of him.
“Mr. Rahim, what a coincidence, we are here together.” Li Mingyao stretched out his hand: “We are confident in today’s bid. We believe that we will win today’s bid with a high enough investment amount!”
“You have accumulated a lot of experience in port operations, and I look forward to choosing a strong partner,” Rahim said.
"Where is Mr. Qin? Why haven't you seen him coming yet? How can such an unpunctual person participate in the bidding." Li Mingyao looked around and then said deliberately.
At this moment, at the end of the street corner, a green six-wheeled medical vehicle that the locals had become familiar with drove over. When the vehicle drove over, many people waved their hands to show respect to the vehicle.
"Driving an armored vehicle here? He thought he was here to fight?" Li Mingyao felt a little funny.
