Vol 2 Chapter 1123: Troubles in Africa

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Three

Troubles in Africa

Lin Feng has absolute confidence in this contract. In today's age when computer prices remain high, a computer with a monitor for $99 is absolutely cheap. Although they are all second-hand computers, when they arrive in South Africa, Lin Feng will change the case to make them brand new, so that there will be no problems. Of course, in the contract, the words "second-hand" will still be indicated. However, the South African government can tell all people who enjoy the treatment that this is a brand new computer. It was imported from abroad at a high price by the government to improve the quality of national education.

Lin Feng believes that with such a remark, the prestige of the South African government in the hearts of the people will only be higher. The driving force behind this incident is South Africa's "father of the nation." It can be said that Mandela's status in the hearts of the South African people will also rise. You know, for people like Mandela, money and rights are sometimes not so important. What really matters is reputation. If they can live forever, it will be enough to make them smile at Jiuquan and have no regrets in this life.

Unexpectedly, to Lin Feng's surprise, Mandela actually shook his head after reading it. Yes, actually shook his head.

"Mandela, sir, what do you mean..." Lin Feng was a little nervous.

Mandela thought for a while.

"Mr. Lin, to be honest, your plan is very exciting. If it runs perfectly, the education level in South Africa will definitely be on a higher level in the future. But there are many problems in it. If these problems are not resolved, I am afraid that both of us will not be able to To reach such a deal." Mandela said slowly.

"Mr. Mandela, what's the problem?" Lin Feng asked concerned.

You know, the second-hand computer program in South Africa this time is related to Lin Feng's future plans. In the Linfeng Project, all "second-hand computers" sold to Africa will be pre-installed with a simplified version of the "Linux" system of the "Second World", and 18 months later, when the "Microsoft" "vista" system encountered the market When selling the miserable Waterloo, the whole of Africa will be replaced with a complete "linux" system. At that time, starting from Africa, and then sweeping the world, making "linux" of the "second world" the second largest operating system in the world. In the future, it will become the world's best operating system and the operating system with the highest market share.

But now, Mandela shook his head, which hit Lin Feng's confidence.

"Mr. Lin, this is the case. First of all, our country does not have so much money to buy so many computers. Although a computer is only 99 US dollars, if you want to let most villages in Africa use computers and enjoy distance education, you must at least buy them. 5 million units. That’s 495 million U.S. dollars. In terms of South Africa’s national strength today, it’s a bit too extravagant to spend this extra 495 million U.S. dollars to buy computers. You know, most people in South Africa are still facing hunger and hunger. It's cold!" Mandela sighed.

With 495 million US dollars, it is so difficult for a country that is so large in South Africa to get it out. Think of the young man facing me, with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars. You know, just last summer, Lin Feng burned 438 million US dollars for his Tottenham Hotspur club. This kind of rich world, Mandela is really a bit difficult to understand.

If the money is spent on the poor people in Africa, I don’t know how many people’s food and clothing problems can be solved.

"Mr. Mandela, this problem is very easy to solve. It can be guaranteed by your country's'South African Standard Bank', and the South African government can repay it in installments. After all, for a country, education is very important. As long as the people have With knowledge, you can change your own destiny and the destiny of the entire country." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Mandela could not help but nod. Indeed, knowledge changes destiny, and good education is enough to make a country upside down. Of course, for Lin Feng's so-called "South African Standard Bank" guarantee plan, Mandela was a little bit dumbfounded.

As the largest shareholder of "South African Standard Bank", Lin Feng has something to do with the fate of South Africa. It can be said that "South African Standard Bank" will absolutely approve of such a plan. Guarantee, that is not a problem at all.

"Mr. Lin, to solve the first problem, there is also a second problem. South Africa's education level is very low. For most people, let alone use a computer, they have never read it. I want to know, How is Mr. Lin going to let the people of our country use your computer?" Mandela said.

Lin Feng had a solution to this problem long ago.

"Mr. Mandela, this question is very simple. First of all, these computers will install the simplest and most foolish operating system that our company has launched for the people of South Africa. I can guarantee that anyone who understands the text will use it. "Lin Feng said, patting his chest.

This batch of computers Lin Feng plans to install the simplest "linux" system. It doesn’t need to be so all-encompassing and install how many software, as long as you can use some of the simplest and most basic functions-surfing the Internet, watching movies, learning and games. As long as the operation interface is simple enough and foolish enough. And such an operating system, for Linus and others, there is no difficulty at all.

Mandela smiled when he heard the words, but it was a wry smile.

"Sorry, Mr. Lin, most people in our country don't understand words!" Mandela said helplessly.

auzw.com Lin Feng was stunned after hearing this. This...this...a bit beyond Lin Feng's expectation. However, Lin Feng is not a mortal, so he slapped his forehead in amazement.

"Haha, Mr. Mandela, this is not a problem. Don’t you don’t know the words? I can make the operating systems of these computers a bit more foolish. I can make the interface be represented by images, as long as I can understand the images. There is absolutely no problem." Lin Feng said.

Without waiting for Mandela to express his opinion, Lin Feng continued.

"Mr. Mandela, I wonder if you have heard of the'Wall Computer'?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"Wall hole computer"? This is the first time Mandela has heard of this new term.

"Hehe, Mr. Mandela, you should have heard of India. You should know that India is a country with a huge gap between rich and poor." Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Mandela nodded. Indeed, although India’s GDP is much higher than that of Africa, in fact, there are many slums in India. The life in these slums is not much better than that in Africa, and some are even worse.

"In the slums of India, a kind of'hole computer' is now popular, that is, the computer is installed in a'wall hole' with only a mouse outside. All children can use the mouse to control this computer." Lin Feng Speaking of this, I sighed for a while, "Mr. Mandela, do you know what those kids who don't know a big character can do with this computer?"

Mandela shook his head. He was full of curiosity about what Lin Feng said.

"Although these children are illiterate and have never touched a computer, they can browse the Internet, look through various information (mainly pictures), and even play desktop games for a while with only a mouse. What we do this is only their curiosity. The curiosity of new things." Lin Feng sighed.

"Children in India can do it, and I believe many people in South Africa who are eager to learn can do it." Lin Feng quickly opened the laptop he carried, logged on to the Internet, and called up relevant pictures.

Mandela sighed when he saw it. These things were not previously understood by Mandela. In his mind, he believed that to operate a computer requires a period of training. But facts speak louder than words. It turns out that you don't need any professional or even training to use a computer, as long as you have a curiosity.

"Mr. Mandela, do you still think that the people of your country still don't know how to operate computers?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Mandela smiled and shook his head.

"Mr. Lin, there is one more point, and the most important one. Although South Africa is the richest country in Africa, it still has the most deadly problem like all Africa-lack of electricity. In Africa, most countries lack power. Electricity is the same in our country. The existing power stations in our country can only guarantee the smooth flow of electricity in major cities. As for the surrounding cities, there will be large areas of power cuts every week. As for those villages, kerosene lamps are still used almost today. If there is no electricity, how to use the computer?" Mandela said helplessly.

Mandela does not care about the $495 million. He believes that the South African government can use the funds. But the problem is that there is no electricity, how to use these high-tech! The lack of electricity is also a crucial issue that plagues the development of South Africa, including the entire Africa.

Electricity, without electricity, there is no high technology!

Lin Feng was a little silly when he heard that. This is definitely Lin Feng's mistake. You must know that the shortcomings in Africa are really normal. However, Lin Feng has never been to Africa, and some of the countries he has visited are all developed countries. For Lin Feng, the concept of power outage has not been for a long, long time. Occasional power outages are also due to maintenance, not power shortages. But now, Lin Feng is facing the problem of power shortage. This really surprised Lin Feng, a little helpless!

"Mr. Mandela, this..." Lin Feng didn't know what to say.

Mandela also saw Lin Feng's embarrassment.

"Mr. Lin, your proposal is good. But without solving the power outage problem, I cannot persuade the government to sign this contract. If Mr. Lin can solve this problem, I am very happy to help Mr. Lin go to the South African government. Communication. After all, the Chinese government also very much hopes to improve the education level of the people." Mandland lamented.

The problem of electricity has plagued South Africa for a long time, but it has not been resolved. Mandela also hoped that Lin Feng, the miraculous man, could help South Africa solve this problem.

With serious concerns, Lin Feng said goodbye to Mandela temporarily.

Electricity, electricity, no electricity!
