Chapter 1107 A big city in South Africa that looks more like Europe!

Johannesburg time.

15:15 pm.

A group of people, mainly the leader of South Africa, Peter Porta, has been waiting here for nearly an hour.

When his secretary came over and said: "Mr. Peter, Sir Yang's private plane from Xiangjiang has arrived at the airport and requested to land."

Not long.

Yang Ming's private plane landed safely at the designated location.

At this time, outside the plane, a red carpet, flowers, and many people were waiting to greet him.

When the passenger plane's gangway was lowered, Yang Ming came out of the plane.

Warm sunlight shone on him.

Yang Ming saw all white people outside to greet him.

Yang Ming was the first to get off the plane.

Soon, a seventy-year-old white man came over.

The opponent is none other than Peter Porta, the current master of South Africa.

When Peter Botha learned for the first time on Saturday that Sir Yang, chairman of the Imperial Group, was coming to South Philippines for inspection and investment, he took this matter very seriously.

"Hello Sir Yang, welcome to South Africa, welcome to Johannesburg."

Peter Botta stretched out his hand to shake Yang Ming's hand.

"Hello, Mr. Botha."

The two shook hands, and soon someone brought flowers.

Soon, He Chaoluo and others got off the plane. When they looked at the men and women around them, all of whom were white, He Chaoluo and others were even more surprised.

Isn’t South Philippines an African country?

Why are they all white?

In fact it is.

At least for now, it is impossible for black people to appear here.

Yang Ming and Bota chatted happily for a few minutes, but Yang Ming did not make a speech here.

As those reporters took photos, Yang Ming got into his Rolls-Royce with bulletproof glass, and the group left here in the car, escorted by Sir Nan Fei and others.

He Chaoluo, Yingla and Alina in the car were obviously surprised.

This South Africa is really not the South Africa they imagined.

But this is South Africa now.

Yang Ming recalled the Nan Fei he knew and was familiar with in his previous life.

South Africa's collapse began in the early 1980s, when international gold prices plummeted, impacting the mining industry, the backbone of South Africa's economy. At the same time, South Africa was sanctioned by the United Nations and many countries because of the ZZ quarantine implemented by white people, and a large amount of funds were withdrawn.

South Philippines' mining industry relies heavily on Europe and the United States for technology, equipment and funds. Europe and countries have invested in thousands of companies in South Philippines. In 1979, foreign investment accounted for 57% of South Philippines' GDP.

Sanctions imposed by European and American countries have dealt a serious blow to South Philippines' economy.

A large amount of European and American capital withdrew from South Philippines. Among the 1,100 foreign companies in South Philippines in 1984, more than 400 withdrew their capital in 1989. In 1984, Country M invested in 350 companies in South Philippines, and by 1989, 192 companies had withdrawn their investment.

Without European and American capital and European and American markets, South Philippines' economy has become a backwater. The inflation rate remained high. Throughout the 1980s, the inflation rate in South Philippines was above 11%, with the highest reaching nearly 20%.

In 1980, South Philippines' per capita GDP was US$3,200, ranking second in Africa after Gabon. By 1985, it had fallen to 1,970 US dollars, surpassed by Seychelles and Algeria.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the upper-class white people in South Africa fled South Philippines in large numbers. From 1982 to 1987, there was a net emigration of 120,000 people from South Philippines.

After Mandela came to power in 1994, although the economic situation improved, social security deteriorated, the crime rate increased, and affirmative action left 80% of jobs for blacks, leaving a large number of whites unemployed, leading to a greater crisis than in the 1980s. massive population loss. Between 1994 and 2004, 1 million to 1.6 million South Filipinos engaged in technical, professional and management occupations immigrated overseas, most of them white. The destination countries were mainly Country Y and Australia.

In other words, South Africa was destroyed.

Two big reasons.

One is the sanctions imposed by Europe and the United States on South Philippines, which has led to the withdrawal of a large number of foreign investment, leading to a serious economic decline in South Africa.

One is the ZZ problem.

In Yang Ming's view, although Nanfei has not disintegrated, it is actually similar to the Soviet Union at that time, and even worse than the Soviet Union after the disintegration.

At this time, South Philippines' economy began to decline, and Europe and the United States began to impose sanctions on South Philippines.

Moreover, many European and American capitals are worried about the future stability of South Africa and the purge of white capital, so that the remaining European and American capitals are gradually fleeing this country.

The reason why Peter Porta, the master of South Africa, was so excited this time was that the chairman of the Imperial Group actually came to South Africa to inspect and invest during this time.

This is like an old man who is about to fall ill and is suddenly given a powerful injection.

Yang Ming sighed in his heart.

Now South Africa wants to change this situation.

There is only one way.

However, according to historical development, there is probably nothing anyone can do.

Even if Mandela is killed, there will still be other black representatives on the stage.

This also means that killing people directly will only make things more complicated.

Of course, Yang Ming is not from South Africa, and he has no feelings for South Africa.

The purpose of his coming to South Africa was the same as that of going to Sulian.

All for the Imperial Group.

We were escorted out of here by the all-white Asirs and headed to a private estate in Johannesburg.

That was the hotel where Sir Yang was arranged to stay this time.

Johannesburg is not the capital of South Africa.

South Philippines has three major capitals, namely Pretoria, the administrative capital, Cape Town, the legislative capital, and Bloem Springs, the judicial capital.

As for Johannesburg, it is the largest city in South Philippines. Its economy, transportation and education are particularly developed. Compared with China, it is equivalent to a functional city like Shanghai in China.

The reason Yang Ming came to South Africa was that his first stop was Johannesburg.

Mainly, the headquarters of Standard Bank of South Philippines is here.

In addition, Yang Ming spent a long time in this city in his previous life, but at that time, the most developed city in South Philippines had declined.

Yang Ming was in the car, looking out the window.

He Chaoluo, Alina, and Yingla looked out the window curiously.

"Sir, it looks really different outside." He Chaoluo said.

In the 1960s and 1970s, when South Philippines was the most developed, the South Philippines Expressway ranked third in the world, second only to Sulian, Country M, and then South Philippines.

In other words, transportation in South Africa has been very developed in this era, so when you are on the road now, you don't feel that you are in Africa at all, but more like you are in a big city in a European country.

Moreover, South Africa was colonized by Country Y before, so many buildings here are completely Western-style.

"Does it feel like you're in Europe?"

"It's really like that." He Chaoluo said.

. . .

When Chen Zhenhua stopped the car.

This is a private luxury manor hotel in downtown Johannesburg.

This is also the hotel where Yang Ming will stay this time.
