Republic of Mali.
Capital.
A meeting.
It's being held at the headquarters of the country's third largest telecom operator, a state-owned operator in Mali, heavily pressured by foreign operators.
Today.
The main topic isn't complicated---whether to make a large-scale purchase of 4G equipment.
"Buy!"
"Are you footing the bill?"
"But if we don't move forward, we might as well shut down. Rather than being forced to sell in the end, we should take a risk instead of this."
"What about the money?"
"..."
The two sides argued, the main issue being money. Such a large-scale equipment update requires a significant amount, necessitating caution.
Previously.
There have been many arguments.
No results.
Now it's being brought to the table again, which is not surprising, but this time it's different. The new leader sitting in the seat of honor listens with narrowed eyes as they argue.
Finally.
"Bang!"
The man made a decisive decision.
"Buy!"
"Ah?"
