Shandong boy turned out to be just an ordinary worker, but because of the yin and yang mistakes, he became the chief of Africa, in addition to owning 500 acres of land, he also allowed his wives and concubines to flock to the peak of life.
15 years ago, after the Shandong boy Fang Yibo became the chief of Africa, how is his life now?
Because of the expatriate to Africa, the first arrival was discriminated against and the work was blocked
When it comes to Nigeria, probably the first thing many people root for is that it is a less developed country. In fact, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, with a sufficient labor force, and the local oil and mineral resources are very rich.
This country plays a very important role in the development of Africa's economy.
Nigeria is a country that mainly develops the primary industry, and other developments are relatively slow, even backward, and the industrial level is relatively low. So even if there are many resources, Nigeria needs help to develop its own resources.
Over the years, Nigeria and our country have established very friendly diplomatic relations, so the two countries have been working closely together in many areas, and we often help Nigeria in the construction of various infrastructures, such as power stations and railways.
In 2004, Shandong Province's Power Construction 3rd Company was tasked with building a gas turbine power station in Nigeria. And Fang Yibo is the person in charge of this project. Working in Africa, many people can also think that this comes with a high level of risk.
Because of the instability of various situations in many parts of Africa, the legal system is not perfect, problems may occur, life safety may not be guaranteed, and the promotion of various projects will become extremely difficult because of language, cultural and other issues. So when Fang Yibo and his team first arrived in Nigeria, everything was very unsmooth.
First, despite Nigeria's abundance of human resources, they could not find workers for their projects. Some local people also bully foreigners who are not familiar with life and rob their belongings. Because of the differences in climate and environment, the local health conditions at that time were not good, and many people did not live in Nigeria for a few days and fell ill with malaria.
Fang Yibo's team arrived to help Nigeria build a gas turbine power station, but the local natives felt that this was grabbing their land, so they were hostile to them, and even surrounded, trapped in the office for three days, almost cut off water and food. Later, he turned to the police to be rescued.
Although the project did not start smoothly, Fang Yibo was not defeated by difficulties, and he tried to find a solution to the problem.
Take the initiative to learn about the lives of the locals and become friends with the locals
Fang Yibo understood that it was impossible to seek help from the police every time he encountered a problem, which would only make the confrontation more serious. In order to successfully complete the project, it is necessary to ease the relationship with the locals, so Fang Yibo decided to call the locals friends and mingle with the locals, so that everything can go smoothly.
To build a good relationship with the locals, you must first understand the lives of the locals. Fang Yibo took the initiative to walk into the village of the locals and learn about the lives of the indigenous people. He also brought a lot of sweets, distributed to local children, and brought Chinese tea and other specialties to visit the villagers.
In fact, many local people only have the behavior of resistance and exclusion because they do not understand. Later, after several contacts, the villagers would greet each other when they saw Fang Yibo, and later began to shake hands with each other.
At that time, many colleagues in the project were worried about the safety of Fang Yibo, and later found out that the locals were not as unreasonable as they thought, and only because they did not understand each other did they let the conflict appear.
Later, Fang Yibo also became friends with the son of a chieftain, who was also one of the leaders of the disturbances at that time. The two became good friends, and when there was another conflict, the chief's son would also take the initiative to help Fang Yibo mediate and resolve many conflicts.
It is this kind of slow contact and understanding, and the construction site project can be carried out smoothly. Over the years, Fang Yibo's prestige among the locals has become higher and higher.
Chinese project team has a good medical team, and the local villagers are uncomfortable and will go to the construction site for help. As long as they can, Fang Yibo will help the villagers.
At that time, some villagers mentioned in an interview that Fang Yibo was very friendly to them and always helped, so they loved Fang Yibo. The villagers are also using their abilities to give back to Fang Yibo and his team for their help.
Once, Fang Yibo's car was trapped in the mire, and it was the villagers who joined forces to lift his car out of the mire.
He became the chief of Africa and allowed his wives and concubines to flock
In terms of infrastructure, Fang Yibo's team showed China's speed, and in less than 3 years, the gas turbine power station that Fang Yibo was responsible for was successfully completed.
This is a gas turbine power station that stands in the middle of the wasteland, and when put into operation, the gas turbine power station provides more than forty percent of the electricity to the whole of Nigeria. Because of the help of this project to Nigeria, coupled with the good cooperation between China and Nepal, and the prestige of Fang Yibo in the local area, Fang Yibo was named chief in June 2007.
Probably many people don't know much about African chiefs. For historical reasons, Africa has always been a relatively poor part of the world, and many places still use tribal chieftaincy.
Nigeria also belongs to the category of countries that use tribal chiefdom. At that time, there were only 26 chiefs in the whole country of Nigeria, and there were only four foreign chiefs, one of whom was Fang Yibo.
At that time, a local chieftain was recommended as the heir of the chief because he had no descendants to inherit the position of chief, and with Fang Yibo's contribution in the local area. This chieftain is not a simple pseudonym, but has real power.
When you become a chief, there are many benefits and rights. In the local area, there is no administrative body below the local government, so the chief can have the same rights as the local administrative body, can manage the local government, and plays a role as a link between the government and the masses. Therefore, When Fang Yibo became the chief, he had certain help for all kinds of cooperation between China and Nepal.
Fang Yibo can own its own land, a total of 500 acres. In addition, they can also participate in meetings that decide on the development of Nigeria, and have certain rights to speak and make decisions.
And all of this can be hereditary, that is to say, the descendants of Fang Yibo can have all this. There is also a right that is more discussed by everyone, that is, the chief also has the right to marry multiple wives.
However, Fang Yibo said that he has a very beloved wife in China and a lovely daughter, and does not want to use the right to polygamy. Under his auspices, schools have also been built to expose more and more African children to education.
After returning to China, because of Fang Yibo's performance in Nigeria, he soon became a corporate executive.
