176 episodes. Only on the African continent?
Outside the capital Antananarivo.
The volunteer field office was full of patients to receive treatment.
“Lucy.”
She was rolling her sleeves and leading the volunteers.
“CEO! When did you arrive? If you had contacted me in advance, I would have gone to meet you.”
“Ugh, what. I know you’re busy.”
After looking around and saying that she worked hard, Lucy smiled and said that it was her duty.
She immediately reported the ongoing issues in Antananarivo and other places, and I praised her for her work, constantly shouting ‘Good, good’.
“For now, leave the work here to others and let’s go together. I had a meeting with Mr. Park of Bosco International.”
“Ah! I came here a few days ago. I pretended not to know to find the CEO, but it seems that he contacted me directly.”
You deliberately pretended not to know and made the shit line burn.
Also, a capable secretary is different no matter what.
“Didn’t the government contact you by any chance?”
“We received a unilateral notice that President Andrea might visit in a week.”
“I’m either coming or not, can I visit?”
“They say that the schedule changes frequently because the construction is busy.”
It’s ridiculous, if you’re that busy, you should have a more precise schedule. Does the head of a country change schedules often?
If true, it seems to show how weak a leader he is.
“As soon as I know it will come, I will prepare.”
It will come whenever it comes.
The scale of my volunteer work is being spread across the country, which was unprecedented in Madagascar.
***
When we arrived at the De Goldie Hotel, Park Seong-chan had already arrived and was waiting for us.
I said goodbye to him and headed straight to the hotel room.
It’s a hotel, but it’s just a name, it’s just a small backpack, so there was no space to talk outside of the room.
“Congratulations, really, just as President Jin said, Madagascar people’s praise for Miss Berry is sky high.”
Park Seong-chan handed Ammatovy’s equity contract and mentioned rumors about Jackie.
“The embers have just lit up, what. If you use this share the doctor gave you, it will have the same effect as pouring oil.”
“That’s right. It’s a 150-billion-billion-dollar sparker, even if it was bought cheaply from Sherrit.”
It’s not a small amount, but it’s a good buy.
I heard that Sherrit spent more than 300 billion won on the 12% acquisition, but I bought it at half price.
“It’s okay to light a fire, but why don’t you give your hand a little help?”
“……?”
Why are you pretending not to know?
“We’re not just speculative capital if we dig up the ground and leave.”
“Are you talking about donating even now?”
“They say it’s not too late to donate no matter how late.”
Park Seong-chan said with a sad smile.
“CEO Jin’s generosity can’t be tolerated. Even if he emphasizes that it is worth 150 billion won, he doesn’t hesitate to talk about donations.”
That’s why I had to bring up the numbers.
‘These days, I’ve been playing in groups so I don’t think 150 billion is that big.’
I didn’t know it would become a joke.
***
A week later,
Black sedans bearing the flag of Madagascar appeared in a row, and the president personally made a pilgrimage to the service area.
Andrea Reggioelina.
A young leader of Madagascar appeared.
Jackie welcomed Lucy with her, and explained the state of medical service and well drilling throughout Madagascar.
President Andrea listened to her and directly visited the people who were receiving treatment and offered words of consolation.
He also expressed his shortcomings by saying he was sorry.
It is unknown inside, but on the surface, he seemed to feel sorry for the current reality that he had no choice but to receive medical assistance.
‘I don’t know yet, because I’m in front of the camera, so maybe I’m acting.’
As it was the president’s visit, the reporters and cameramen of the broadcasting station were trembling and trembling while filming the scene.
I looked at it from a distance and said that I was good at image making, and I thought that it was just right.
“CEO.”
At the call of Hyun-i Yoo, he turned his gaze away from President Andrea.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
“The place is ready. You can go right away.”
“A wiretapping device?”
It’s very cumbersome because I can’t read English yet.
“Miss Berry has it on her body. She wouldn’t do a heavy search.”
“Aren’t you going to be caught by the detector?”
“I checked the model over there and it was outdated, over ten years old. We’re the latest, so it won’t be detected.”
“What? It’s been ten years?”
“I think the military might have deliberately used their hand, making it easier to eavesdrop on the president.”
“The bodyguard also has a line with the military.”
I turned my gaze back to President Andrea.
And he looked over his whole body.
I wonder if the device is hidden.
By the way,
“Do we have detectors too?”
“yes.”
“Give it to Lucy.”
there was.
The button on the sleeve of the president’s jacket, the wiretapping device.

Jackie had an interview with President Andrea in a separate tent.
“How was it, President?”
“It’s wonderful. No other volunteer group has ever had this professional and systematic scale, but there are internal medicine surgeons, ophthalmologists, and plastic surgeons as well.”
“It has been helped by many foundations. Various experts such as the Red Cross, Frederick Harlow, and Doctors Without Borders have worked with us.”
“You’re great Suwan.”
At Andrea’s words, Jackie smiled softly, neither affirming nor denying.
Sometimes silence emphasizes the ability more.
“But what is the reason for doing good deeds at such a huge cost? It doesn’t seem like pure favor. Is there anything you want in particular?”
Jackie asked a straight-forward question.
“Isn’t it better to offer something you can do for us working so hard for Madagascar?”
“Hmm…”
Andrea showed her thoughts as she drank tea.
After emptying his cup of tea, he opened his mouth.
“Mine companies, All Mining. Perhaps your company wants to develop resources in your home country? The cumbersome work to convince the public is to reduce the public’s antipathy caused by the failure of the previous government’s market opening policy.”
“I won’t deny it.”
“How much development are you trying to get people’s attention while making this uproar?”
“It’s up to the president.”
“Do you mean that you will only develop as much as I allow?”
Jackie shook his head.
“No, how much we invest depends on the president’s bowl.”
“Huh, will you measure my vessel? A company?”
Andrea blatantly showed a displeased expression.
“I’m sorry if I offended you. There is no other suitable word other than that. But the nuance is a little different.”
“……?”
“Lucy, show me.”
At Jackie’s instructions, Lucy took out a stock contract, wiretapping and hidden camera detectors and placed them on the table.
“What is this?”
“As you can see, one is a stake in the Ammatovy Nickel Mine. We bought it from Sherrit International in Canada. We will return it to the government for free.”
“For free? Why?”
“It is a sign of sincerity to believe that All Mining is not speculative capital, and it is also a gift for the president who is struggling because he cannot afford to return the investment after announcing the contract cancellation.”
“…Then what else is this?”
“It’s a detector. Check the president’s whole body with that.”
“You mean there’s something like a wiretapping device on my body?”
“You will believe more if you try it yourself and see it with your own eyes rather than believe my story.”
Andrea held the detector in her hand with suspicious eyes.
Then he scanned his whole body, and noticed a beeping sound from the button on his sleeve.
– Fast.
The hidden parts were revealed when they were put on the floor and crushed with shoes.
Andrea licked her lips, alternating between Button and Jackie.
“I saw the model used by bodyguards earlier. It’s a fairly old model. Even though Madagascar is the poorest country, it’s hard to believe that it’s used by the Presidential Security Service.”
“That’s why I gave you the detectors. Check this out.”
“Yes. You don’t have to tell me where you put it, right?”
“It must be General Lacampo, in all probability.”
A shadow that resembled a strange feeling passed over his bitter smile.
“If the president doesn’t want to seize power, we don’t want to invest in Madagascar. Doing business with the military in a coup is like giving fish to a cat.”
“So you’re going to check my intentions first.”
Andrea smiled and continued.
“What do you think my bowl looks like?”
“Seeing him in person, he doesn’t seem like a military puppet as known to the public.”
“But it is also true that there is no way to break the cords attached to my body by the military. In a country where laws and systems have collapsed, military power is the most powerful force. We’re going to elect a president.”
“The President has one way, doesn’t he?”
“Are you talking about the former President Ark?”
“Yeah, if the government officially takes over and gets recognition from African countries, the military will not be able to learn without following the president.”
The Madagascar Revolution took the form of a civil war unlike any other country on the African continent.
It is not a war of bullets between the military, or between the government and the rebels.
There were protesters, but they were not violent, and when the popular uprising was escalating, General Racampo of the military raised the army.
Although the former president secretly left his country and fled to another country.
“I don’t know, and General Lacampo knows. But even if I try to convince him, I can’t find where the former President Ark is. I’ve tried all kinds of reputed mercenaries and military companies, but I don’t know where the South African government hid him. I can’t figure it out.”
“Isn’t he at the embassy? They say the reporters are encamping in front of him.”
“No. I’ve seen people go inside the residence, but I’ve heard that they’ve disappeared like crazy.”
Jackie nodded and said.
“We’ll look for it once. If possible, we will convince you to make a place with the President.”
“What are you trying to gain by doing this to me?”
“I hope for one thing. Madagascar will come out of poverty and revive. I think the president really cares about the people, so I want to help.”
“It’s good to remember this. No matter how much I gain real power with their help, I won’t be selling our country’s resources or land at a cheap price.”
Jackie smiled and accepted his words.
“Isn’t Madagascar the poorest country in Africa after Sudan?”
“It’s embarrassing, but it is.”
“Suppose that Madagascar develops to the point where it competes for water in Africa. How will the all-mining company that created it be treated in the African continent?”
Andrea’s eyes widened at her question.
“You’re going to use our country… as an outpost?”
“How many people in Africa are favorable to mining companies? If mine profit is 100, they take 90 and fill the stomachs of the other 10 government officials. Under that circumstance, once rumors of Madagascar and all-mining spread, there will be no African country that will not welcome us.”
Although Madagascar is a resource-rich country that is overflowing with all kinds of gems and minerals.
Only on the African continent?
