Upon hearing Zhao Ye's words, Fei Chengyi could only manage a wry smile.

Developing mines in Africa is extremely difficult; otherwise, Western countries would have already taken action.

Otherwise, how could Galaxy Mining Group have gotten the chance to pick up bargains in Africa?

Zhao Ye hung up the phone, pondering how to develop and utilize those minerals in Africa.

In addition, Galaxy Mining Group does not actually hold many mining development rights. There are many high-quality mines in Africa, and it would be best to acquire them as well.

A few minutes later, Zhao Ye had a clue.

"In Africa, transportation is the worst. Without proper roads, it's very difficult to transport ore out. So, the first thing we need to do is help them build roads, such as highways and high-speed railways. If it's a coastal African country, it would be best to build ports as well. These African countries may not have much money, but they have minerals. We can provide them with loans, allowing them to use the minerals as collateral! In this way, it's a win-win situation for everyone!"

"African countries are able to develop rapidly, and they can also get what they want!"

"Moreover, unlike Western countries, we will not attach any political conditions to African countries!"

"Furthermore, strengthening the Galaxy Guardians will serve as a deterrent to local armed forces in unstable regions, thereby safeguarding the interests of Galaxy Mining Group and other investment projects!"

"..."

Galaxy Mining Group needs a stable political environment, so Zhao Ye may also support the development of military forces in some African countries. This must be done in secret, otherwise, if Western media find out, it is easy to imagine how viciously they will slander Zhao Ye.

After evening, Zhao Ye had already made a plan, but he hadn't considered going it alone.

Instead, they decided to involve the country in implementing this plan.

Importing iron ore from Africa is not just Zhao Ye's business; it concerns the survival and development of the entire country.

Furthermore, with the national authority as their shield, they can be even more intimidating to local criminals!

The next morning, after 10 a.m., Zhao Ye picked up his phone and immediately contacted a high-ranking national leader, explaining his plan, which immediately attracted attention.

The sudden 15% price increase of Australian iron ore has severely impacted many domestic industries and significantly affected China's development speed. Leaders are in a state of panic and are trying to find ways to lower the price of Australian iron ore.

Over the past two years, Australia has repeatedly used excuses to raise iron ore prices seven or eight times, with this latest price increase being particularly dramatic.

China has reached its limit!

The proposal that Zhao Ye handed over coincided perfectly with the country's ideas.

Currently, China's only option to solve its iron ore import problem is to look to Africa.

Because Africa is very underdeveloped, Europe and the United States look down on it, which gives China an opportunity to take advantage of the situation!

What is poison to one is honey to another.

We'll do some hard work, helping African countries build roads, high-speed railways, ports, invest in electricity, and so on, and then we'll get mining development rights.

China-Africa cooperation brings tangible benefits to the African people and is an assistance that can truly change the face of Africa!

It is undeniable that Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, and even India often provide aid to Africa, but their aid is mainly in the form of supplies. However, these supplies are quickly consumed by Africa's huge population.

China's aid is different; it involves genuine investment and construction, including providing infrastructure, establishing factories, and so on, with a long-term vision.

Western countries clearly lack this patience and simply use material aid to gain political leverage... because every aid comes with very heavy conditions attached.

...

"Chairman Zhao, your plan coincides with the nation's. We have decided to hold the 'China-Africa Investment Summit' in three months to provide aid to African countries through investment, thereby acquiring mining development rights and also transporting iron ore out of the country..."

A few days later, the leader called to inform Zhao Ye about the "China-Africa Investment Summit".

This "China-Africa Investment Summit" will be held in the capital.

In addition to attendees from various African countries, there will also be many entrepreneurs who intend to invest in Africa.

The main purpose of the "China-Africa Cooperation Summit" is to promote investment agreements between Chinese companies and African countries. Acquiring iron ore from Africa is just one of the objectives. At that time, a large investment team will be formed, led by Chinese state-owned enterprises and Wujiang Group, covering multiple industries.

Zhao Ye was overjoyed and immediately expressed his support for the "China-Africa Investment Summit," adding that he would personally lead a delegation to participate three months later.

During these three months, Zhao Ye can also take the time to research which areas to invest in.

...

"Chairman Zhao, this is information on Australia's main exports to my country. In addition, this document also includes detailed information on major Chinese foreign trade companies engaged in import and export!"

Liu Yinyin then walked into Zhao Ye's office and handed him a document.

Zhao Ye took the documents and carefully looked through them.

Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has grown at a rocket-like pace. From a country with a weak industrial base, it has developed into a manufacturing powerhouse that astounds the world. China has accomplished all this in just a few decades. Moreover, China has created a highly developed market, which many countries see as a huge pie, leading to a rush to enter the Chinese market. Many countries have profited immensely from close bilateral trade with China. Over time, many countries have become highly dependent on China, and among them, the Western country most reliant on China is none other than Australia!
