Chapter 335 The Founding Father of South Africa
Mandela nodded heavily. He had wanted to solve this problem for a long time, but he could not solve it.
To be honest, if you want to solve the problem of low education, you need to build schools, and a large number of schools are built. Mandela has calculated that with South Africa's weak educational facilities, if you want everyone in South Africa to receive education, it will take at least ten years of South Africa's fiscal revenue.
Mandela does not have that courage to build education by using 10 years of fiscal revenue. Even Mandela does not have such a lot of courage, and even less will be the president in the future. After all, the variables in this are too big, and if you are not careful, it will lead to a coup.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. Even if Mandela really has the courage to use South Africa’s 10 years of fiscal revenue to build educational facilities, which can allow all South Africans to receive education, then there is another fatal problem, that is, tuition fees! Most South Africans don’t even have living expenses, so what are they talking about?
This is another difficult problem, a huge problem.
Mandela cannot solve it, South Africa cannot solve it, and the United Nations cannot solve it. Of course, the United Nations cannot solve it, but to solve a South Africa, and more "South Africa" will emerge and they will ask for it to be resolved at that time, which is the real trouble.
What's more, after helping "South Africa" solve the education problem, how many years will South Africa need to repay this huge amount of funds? Can he repay it? You must know that it is normal to have a coup in an African country. What if the new government does not recognize this huge amount of funds?
Even if the United Nations forces wiped it out, the huge amount of funds would not be returned. If an obedient government who is willing to repay its debts came to power, it would probably be overthrown again soon and repeat itself.
Therefore, the education problem that plagues all African countries is a common problem faced by all African countries. No one can solve it or can’t solve it. But now, Jiang Feng says it can be solved. Isn’t this surprising?
"Mr. Jiang, do you think it can be solved? How to solve it?" Mandela paused.
It is really surprising that Jiang Feng said that he could solve this problem. If Jiang Feng could really solve it, Mandela would definitely award Jiang Feng the "South African Education Most Outstanding Contribution Award".
Of course, there is no such award in South Africa at present, but not having this award does not mean that such an award cannot be established. As long as Jiang Feng can solve the education problem in South Africa.
Jiang Feng smiled. It seemed that people had weaknesses. Mandela's weakness was South Africa. As long as something helpful to South Africa, Mandela's attitude would immediately become enthusiastic, concerned, nervous, and anxious, which was completely opposite to his previous calmness.
Mandela looked at Jiang Feng nervously, without blinking for a moment.
Jiang Feng also laughed in his heart, and finally took the initiative back again.
"Mr. Mandela, you said that information is the most important in the 21st century, and I also agree with this very much. So, how to obtain information?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Television, newspapers, Internet..." Mandela said subconsciously, and then suddenly stopped talking. He understood what Jiang Feng was talking about.
"Mr. Jiang, are you referring to computers and distance education?" Mandela asked.
Jiang Feng smiled and nodded. Indeed, it was distance education. Jiang Feng came to South Africa this time and talked about distance education with Mandela. This will be a huge contract for the "Jiang Family Consortium".
The personal computer market in Africa has always been ignored by major computer manufacturers. Of course, the so-called neglect is not completely blind, but not enough attention. Because South Africa is too poor, the number of computers sold every year is really small. Therefore, sometimes the money for advertising may not be earned back at any time. Therefore, no one pays much attention to it.
The same was true for Jiang's before, because the computers produced by Jiang's are almost an era that surpass other similar products, and the prices are even higher. Their sales targets are economically developed countries such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.
Because everyone does not pay attention to it, Africa can be said to be a virgin land that has not yet been developed in the computer market.
But now, Jiang Feng is preparing to develop this virgin land. The first thing he is targeting is South Africa, the most developed country in Africa. He wants to open up a sky in South Africa. First, South Africa, and then the entire Africa. Jiang Feng wants his company's personal computer to occupy the entire African market.
"Mr. Mandela, our company can provide a batch of computers to your country at extremely low prices, and provide distance education software for free, and provide a group of teachers to rush to various regions to teach relevant computer knowledge. I wonder what Mr. Mandela wants?" Jiang Feng said with a smile.
Mandela's eyes moved and asked, "Mr. Jiang, how cheap is the so-called low-priced computer?"
"In less than $99, less than $100, you can have a computer that can handle office, surf the Internet, and distance education. I wonder what Mr. Mandela thought?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile.
Immediately, Jiang Feng took out a document and handed it to Mandela, which detailed the matters related to the transaction and the responsibilities and obligations undertaken by both parties.
Of course, Mandela himself does not have the right to sign, and even if it is signed, it is useless. But in South Africa, as long as Mandela agrees, the contract will basically be decided.
Jiang Feng has absolute confidence in this contract. In today's era when the computer prices are high, a computer with a monitor of $99 is absolutely cheap. Although they are all second-hand computers, when they arrive in South Africa, Jiang Feng will change the shell to make it a brand new one, so that there will be no problems.
Of course, the contract will still indicate the words "second-hand". However, the South African government can tell all people who enjoy treatment that this is a brand new computer and is imported from abroad at a high price in order to improve the quality of national education.
Jiang Feng believes that if you say this, the South African government will only have a higher prestige in the hearts of the people. The driving force behind this incident is South Africa's "father of the nation". It can be said that Mandela's position in the hearts of the people of South Africa will also rise.
You should know that for people like Mandela, money and power are sometimes not that important. What is really important is reputation. If it can be remembered forever, it will be enough to make them smile and have no regrets in this life.
Unexpectedly, after watching it, Mandela shook his head.
"Mandela, sir, you mean..." Jiang Feng was a little nervous.
Mandela thought for a while and said slowly: "Mr. Jiang, to be honest, your plan is very exciting. If it can run perfectly, the education level in South Africa will definitely be of the same level in the future. But there are many problems. If these problems are not solved, we may not be able to reach such a deal."
"Mr. Mandela, what's the problem?" Jiang Feng asked with concern.
You should know that this time, South Africa's second-hand computer plan is a major plan related to the future. He insists on the development of the personal computer operating system - the Jiang system plan.
In the Jiangfeng plan, all "second-hand computers" sold to Africa will be pre-installed with the simple version of "Jiangshi" personal computer operating system. Of course, this is just a preliminary plan. What followed was that 18 months later, in early 2007, when the newly released "Vista" system of "Microsoft" encountered a waterloo in the market sales, the entire Africa will be replaced with the complete "Jiangshi" system.
At that time, Jiang's personal computer operating system will start from Africa and then sweep the world, making "Jiang's" personal computer operating system the second largest operating system in the world, and in the future it will become the world's best operating system and the highest market share operating system.
But now, Mandela shook his head, which hit Jiang Feng's confidence.
"Mr. Jiang, that's right. First of all, our country does not have so much money to buy so many computers. Although a computer is only $99, if you want most African villages to use computers and enjoy distance education, you have to buy at least 5 million units. That is $495 million. With the current national strength of South Africa, it is too luxurious to spend the additional $495 million to purchase computers. You know, most people in South Africa are still facing hunger and cold." Mandela sighed.
It is so difficult for a country in South Africa to take out a large country. Think about the young man opposite him, who has a net worth of more than 200 billion US dollars, and it is no problem to take out hundreds of millions of dollars. You know, in the summer of 2003 alone, Jiang Feng burned 2 billion US dollars for his Manchester United club. Mandela is really a bit difficult to understand in this world of rich people.
If this money is used on the poor African people, I don’t know how many people can solve the problem of food and clothing.
"Mr. Mandela, this problem is easy to solve. It can be guaranteed by your country's banks, and the South African government can repay it in installments. After all, education is crucial for a country. As long as the people have knowledge, they can change their own destiny and the destiny of the entire country." Jiang Feng thought for a while and said.
Mandela couldn't help but nod when he heard this. Indeed, knowledge changes destiny, and good education is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in a country.
"Mr. Jiang, there is a second problem to solve this first problem. South Africa's education level is very low. For most people, let alone using computers, they have never seen it. I want to know, how is Mr. Jiang ready to let the people of our country use your computer?" Mandela asked.
Jiang Feng had a solution to this problem long ago.
"Mr. Mandela, this question is very simple. First of all, this batch of computers will install the simplest and most foolish operating system launched by our company for the people of South Africa. I can guarantee that anyone who can understand the text will use it." Jiang Feng said confidently. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
