Chapter 2274 Poor Country

"Mr. Xiao Yi, I promised Mr. Han back then, and today is the time to fulfill my promise. If Mr. Xiao Yi is ready, then we will set off now."

Jim Carrey restrained his arrogant attitude in front of Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi nodded slightly and responded to Jim Carrey.

"We are all ready, and we will follow your arrangements."

"Then please get in the car and I will accompany you."

After the four people got in the car, the Hummer at the front was clearing the way, followed closely by four commercial vehicles. There was also a team of people behind, always protecting everyone's safety.

This arrangement was a requirement of etiquette, but to be honest, arranging people to protect Xiao Yi and the others was completely redundant and unnecessary. The convoy left Mamba City and headed south.

Passing through a plain area and entering a mountainous area, what Xiao Yi saw along the way was a desolate scene, with every trace of vitality seen.

A large area of ​​cultivated land is overgrown with weeds and is just abandoned. It is the harvest season in China. Xiao Yi asked here.

"Why is there no one cultivating such a large piece of arable land? No matter which country you are in, land is the most important resource."

Jim Carrey, who was sitting in front, sighed after hearing Xiao Yi's question and answered Xiao Yi's words.

"Mr. Xiao Yi, you are right. Indeed, for any country, land is the most important resource, but you don't know much about the situation in this country."

"Oh? There's nothing to do right now. Please tell me."

"This country has been plagued by war all year round. It is difficult for people to survive, let alone farming. Coupled with the geographical environment here, there are restrictions on the crops that can be grown. Large areas of cultivated land are abandoned, and It’s not something strange.”

Jim Carrey was also poor before, so he knows deeply what people need most.

Poverty is like a plague, spreading among the people, and it can never get rid of this shadow. Xiao Yi nodded.

"Before we entered this country, I saw neighboring countries and agriculture was very developed. Why don't you learn?"

"What Mr. Xiao Yi saw should be lines of bush-like things, right?"

"Yes, I'm still curious about what these are."

Suzaku, who was sitting in the car, knew what Xiao Yi was talking about after hearing Xiao Yi's question.

This kind of thing is rare in China, but it is very common abroad, especially in South America and South Africa, Suzaku said now.

"Xiao Yi, what you are talking about should be coffee, which is regarded as a crop with relatively high economic benefits."

"It turns out those things are coffee trees. This is the first time I've seen them."

Xiao Yi has just drank this kind of thing. To be honest, he doesn't like the taste of coffee, but many people in the world agree with it.

Like tea, coffee is also a highly profitable product. Jim Carrey nodded at this moment and said that Suzaku was right, that thing was indeed a coffee tree.

“It’s coffee, but there are no coffee growers in my country?”

"Why? Others can grow it, why can't people in your country do it?"

Jim Carrey had a wry smile on his face. Xiao Yi didn't understand the situation. He had also considered this matter before and wanted to introduce coffee from neighboring countries to help people in his country get rid of poverty.

"Mr. Xiao doesn't know something. If you want to grow coffee, the key is technology. Although neighboring countries are also planting, the planting technology is in the hands of capitalists. Those people just get a job. ”

"There are actually so many doorways here..."

"Yes, I have also thought about growing coffee and some crops with relatively high economic impact. Unfortunately, we lack key technologies, and it is impossible for capitalists to help us for free."

It's okay to develop these industries. Jim Carrey once discussed the conditions for this issue with these businessmen. In the end, the unreasonable demands made by the other party made Jim Carrey give up.

"I want to grow these, but the prerequisite is need. Ninety percent of the profits will go to them, leaving only ten percent to give people in my country a job."

Xiao Yi also develops the company and knows what this 10% means. The 10% profit is only enough to pay these workers and maintain a normal life.

"What a huge appetite. Even after eating the meat, there were no bones left."

"Not only that, they also have an even more excessive request, which is that I must agree to them and let their people mine resources in my country. Even if I die in poverty, I cannot agree to this condition."

Such conditions are completely equivalent to selling the country to others. No wonder Jim Carrey did not agree. The gold mine donated to Xiao Yi will also become the property of the capitalists.

Jim Carrey did not agree to the requests of these people, so when the rebellion occurred, there was not even a person willing to lend a helping hand, and everything could only rely on his own ability.

"That's why people in this country live in such poverty. It's not terrible to be poor. Once those greedy beasts are introduced, this is the most terrible result."

"I understand your intention. It seems that this country made the right choice for you to be its leader."

Xiao Yi sighed. After more than two hours of driving, they finally stopped in a valley. They had reached their destination.

This was the gold mine that Jim Carrey promised to give to Han Batian. Since the gold mine was discovered, the news had been hidden and few people knew about it.

"We've arrived."

After the car stopped, Xiao Yi and Zhuque got off the car. The soil here was a reddish color, which was very different from where Xiao Yi lived.

The vegetation on the hills was sparse, and under the erosion of rain all year round, traces were left. The remaining Lenny and Qin Gang got off the car and looked at the surrounding environment.

There was no soft feeling when stepping on the land. The outer layer of soil here had long been peeled off from the rock under the erosion of rain, leaving a bare ridge.

The weathering turned the outer layer of the rock into a reddish color. Xiao Yi knew that this was a characteristic of the high iron content in the soil.

"If we mine iron ore here, the reserves should be huge, right?"

"Mr. Xiao Yi is right. In addition to the gold mine that has been detected, there are also abundant iron ore here. However, our country's technology is not mature, so we have no plans to mine it for the time being."
