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

François said: "I have only compared and studied a very small area, which is in the field of infrastructure. In this field, the goal of most Huaguo companies is to obtain engineering projects, take money to work, and after the completion of the project Evacuate, as if hundreds of Chinese have never been here, leaving no traces of China.

"Mr. Chen, your approach is different. You seem to be trying your best to leave traces of China and increase China's influence. For the port project in Algiers, China's CS company participates in investment; we are going to see it now. The railway, using Huaguo standards, is operated by Huaguo Company for five years, and there are two supporting transportation technology schools. This approach is not optimal in terms of short-term economic benefits, but in the long run, Huaguo’s Influence will continue to accumulate through these projects, and finally all Chinese people can benefit from them."

Chen Ling asked Bill: "Do you think what François said makes sense?"

Bill was bored. Hearing Chen Ling asked his thoughts, he had to say: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I don't know how to answer, because I have never thought about this."

François said, "Bill, you told me the difference between Chinese and Indians last time."

Bill thought for a while, and seemed to recall, and said, "I didn't say it, I listened to others. Chinese people enter other countries, and they don’t fit in; Indians enter other countries like a fish in the water."

Francois said: "Yes, yes, that's what I said. Mr. Chen, I have been to many African countries and found that many Indians live there, from all walks of life, and are integrated into the local area; but the Chinese are different. Chinese people always have their own circle, their language is not good, and they are outside the local mainstream society."

Chen Ling thinks he has little knowledge and is not sure whether François and Bill's statement is reasonable.

"This phenomenon is very interesting, I will pay attention to it in the future. François, you have time to study and study, why is there such a difference?"

François smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, I am interested in this. I will write an article on this in the future."

"Okay, François can be both civil and military. How about I help you get a Chinese name?" Chen Ling asked.

François was pleasantly surprised: "Great, I need a Chinese name."

Chen Ling smiled and said: "You are learning Chinese, but you may not have learned this word. Bin, Wen and Wu together mean both civil and martial arts."

François patted his hands: "Great! From now on I will be both civil and military."

"François, you don't usually call people that way. From now on, you will be called...A Bin." Chen Ling said with a smile.

"Abin! Bill, please call me Abin!" François was satisfied with Chen Ling's name.

Bill envied François and said, ‘‘Mr. Chen, give me a Chinese name as well. "

"Bill, your name means banknote in English, and your Chinese name is called banknote."

"banknote?"

"Everyone likes banknotes. Doesn't it, Abin?"

Chen Ling made a fool of himself, slightly dispelled the gloom in his heart, took his luggage, and went to the hotel.

...

...

Chansrail, controlled by the Morris family, has received all railway-related assets, including large tracts of land at stations along the line. CR Company suggested that the land of the marshalling station before the railway enters the city of Dakar, and the construction of a transportation vocational technical school.

In order to explain Chen Ling, He Chaoxu of CR Company took the team and accompanied Chen Ling to the scene to check.

When Chen Ling arrived at the marshalling station, he looked around and said, "This place is big enough, in addition to building a school, it can also be used as a camp for your CR company in the future."

He Chao was overjoyed. His original plan was to rent another land to build a camp. He didn’t expect Chen Ling to save himself a certain amount of money as soon as he opened his mouth. Metal fittings and concrete precast parts can be converted into railway maintenance camps in the future. The school can rely on this camp to organize student internships. This is a real combination of industry and education."

Chen Ling nodded and agreed: "That's what I think. After this survey is over, you will come up with a specific plan, which needs to be detailed. You must communicate with the local education department to understand relevant laws and regulations. This school is not public. Yes, we have to charge tuition. After spending the money, those students will study hard, and outstanding students can directly enter our project..."

Suddenly, a foreigner spoke Chinese and interrupted Chen Ling: "Why charge? Educational resources should be provided to everyone for free, which is conducive to social justice."

Chen Ling turned to look at the speaker. An unfamiliar young black man, wearing a shirt and trousers, stepped on leather shoes.

The young man saw the young Chen Ling looking at him, knowing that success attracted his attention, and continued: "In China, your schools are all free, very good..."

"Yiwu, don't say it, don't say it!" He Chaoxu stopped the young man from continuing, "You are an interpreter, nothing else is your business."

Chen Ling glanced at Yiwu and said to He Chaoxu, "Is your company very short of people? You want this kind of daydreamer too."

Seeing that Chen Ling was unhappy, He Chao quickly explained: "He is the nephew of the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Transport of Senegal. He has studied in Wuhan. He speaks Chinese well and was introduced to our company as a translator."

"This project doesn't need him." Chen Ling made no secret of his dislike of Yiwu.

What disgusted him was not that Yiwu interrupted him and his impoliteness, but the shameless cheeks. This kind of shameless mentality that I am weak and reasonable, and you must help me, is widespread in Africa, and Chen Ling dislikes it very much.

Yiwu heard what Chen Ling said and called: "This is Senegal. You can't treat me like this. I am a citizen of Senegal and I have the right!"

Chen Ling no longer cared about this shameless and ignorant, but self-feeling promising young man, walked towards the rails of the marshalling station.

He Chaoxu winked at the person next to him: "Take this idiot away and drive away!"

"But from the Ministry of Communications..." The man said embarrassingly. He Chaoxu glared at him and didn't dare to say any more. He commanded two workers in overalls to surround Yiwu.

Yiwu still yelled, Abin, that is, François, winked at the two gun-backed security guards, and the two security guards immediately went up to control Yiwu and take it away.

He Chaoxu walked a few steps quickly and caught up with Chen Ling: "Mr. Chen, don't be bothered, we think this person can speak Chinese, so..."

"It's a good thing to know Chinese, it can be used; but if the brain is not good, it is not good to use," Chen Ling smiled.

He Chaoxu said with a smile: "Next time we must strictly check, not only to assess skills, but also to assess whether people's values ​​are consistent with ours."

Chen Ling changed the subject and asked, "Are our domestic schools free of charge? I remember clearly that I paid the tuition every year."

He Chaoxu has obviously understood this matter, and said: "He is an international student in a government cooperation project. When studying abroad, he has a scholarship, tuition, board and lodging are free, and living expenses are also paid."

Chen Ling sneered: "I still live in a single-room dormitory, right? Our school also has such international students, and the conditions are better than doctoral students!"

"This... national policy, we can't control it!" He Chaoxu didn't know what to say.

"All the wolves cultivated are white-eyed wolves. I don't know how to be grateful. Instead, they dig our walls!" Chen Ling said, smiling at A Bin, "Do you understand the usage of the word digging walls now?"
