I discussed with Xiao Yu about building it deep in the forest. It shouldn't be too tall, just under the trees; otherwise, it won't have the right ambiance! Following Shi Ye along the beach, it was starting to get a bit warm.
Well, you're not exactly the refined type! We're not really suited for this kind of thing; let Ling Er handle it! She can discuss the planning with your mom and Xiao Yu. We can just wait to enjoy ourselves!
Shaking his head, Shi Ye thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you mention wanting to find a place to set up a branch factory? This trip to Africa could be a good opportunity to establish one there if possible."
Africa isn't as poor as you might think; it's just that there's a significant wealth gap. Given the current information conditions, it's only a matter of time before Africa develops. It's better to lay the groundwork now than to wait until the cake is divided and then try to grab a piece!
If someone told him that Africa wasn't poor, Shi Tian would never believe it. But when Shi Ye said it, there was a certain credibility to it.
What Shi Ye meant by "not poor" likely referred not to material wealth but to development prospects. Since there are prospects for development, it's worth investing.
"Alright! Once we get there, you can show me around and find a good spot to build the factory. It shouldn't be an issue; it's just a matter of spending some money and taking a few months!"
When considering building a factory in Africa, the focus should be on political stability rather than security. As long as there's money, security issues can be easily resolved; only a stable political environment is worth investing heavily in, ensuring that the investment won't go to waste.
"Ye Ge, setting up a factory in Africa sounds simple, but what will we produce? Fishing rods definitely won't sell there! How about making kitchen knives? But they don't really need those either! Even if we made shovels or hoes, I heard they don't farm—who would we sell them to?"
He agreed to establish a branch factory in Africa, but Shi Tian truly couldn't think of any viable business opportunities there; his expertise didn't quite align with what was needed in Africa!
Don't underestimate them; while education may lag behind in more developed areas, they aren't fools. The moment you treat them as such is when you'll end up at a disadvantage!
The lack of agricultural development there isn't because they don't farm; it's due to water scarcity. If that issue could be resolved, Africa could produce enough food for everyone on the planet! With this realization, Shi Ye became even more determined to send Shi Tian to Africa for some time.
The real Africa is far from what one imagines. There's no point in explaining too much to Shi Tian now; it's better for him to go and see for himself! Once he experiences it firsthand, he'll understand.
After enjoying a feast of Mouse Grouper, before Shi Tian could even get close to the old man's Pufferfish dish, he was dragged by Shi Ye and the others to the airport for their direct flight to Guangzhou.
There are direct flights to Tanzania three times a week; they leave at ten in the evening and arrive at eight in the morning. With an hour's time difference, it takes about thirteen hours of flying.
"Xiao Tian, keep an eye on our things here while we go meet a friend!" In the international departure hall, several pieces of luggage were piled up in front of Shi Tian as Li Xiang spoke up. Without waiting for Shi Tian's response, the three hurriedly left, looking quite anxious.
Watching them leave, Shi Tian glanced at the pile of luggage and realized he had become their keeper—now he couldn't leave? What did that mean?
Looking at his passport in hand, he knew he needed to deal with the luggage first; otherwise, it would be too inconvenient. Storing it wasn't worth it; he might as well check it in directly! Unfortunately, he didn't have those three's passports with him; otherwise, swiping their boarding passes would save him quite a bit on check-in fees.
After printing his boarding pass and checking in his bags one by one, he grabbed his Dian Xiao and stepped outside for a smoke. If those three didn't return soon, they'd miss their flight!
