Zhuang Haiyang, who flew to Merina to study the island of Riou for about a week, visited the royal family and had lunch with the king, and then left Merina the next day. But this news still attracted the attention of some people.

It's just that the outside world doesn't really care much about such an island purchase agreement. The only thing they care about may be that some people are worried that after Zhuang Haiyang buys this island and uses it as a military base, it will threaten their interests.

However, in the corresponding island purchase agreement, Merina also has strict regulations, prohibiting warships or military aircraft from docking on the island of Rio. If Zhuang Haiyang violates this provision, then the island purchase agreement will be declared null and void.

Regarding this point, the lawyer group representing Zhuang Haiyang also said that there is no problem at all. Just take into account the waters around the island of Riou, from time to time there are pirates. In order to ensure the safety of the island, Zhuang Haiyang needs to organize an island escort team.

Originally, on the Merina side, only Zhuang Haiyang was allowed to establish an ashore escort team. But at the end of this investigation, Zhuang Haiyang also proposed that if he bought this island, he would also need an offshore patrol escort team, and he would need to purchase some armed speedboats or gunboats.

Only in this way can we ensure that the island has a certain ability to counterattack and intercept when it is attacked by a large number of pirates. Of course, this offshore escort force only exists as a defensive force, and the tonnage of ships purchased will not be too large.

Again, the reason why the expansion of the escort force was proposed was also due to concerns about the security of the islands. A mere shore escort team wants to ensure the safety of nearly 100 square kilometers of islands, and you know that it is difficult to do so.

To the surprise of the Merina authorities, it was the recognition and support from the royal family. The old king Nerina, who had not expressed his opinion on political affairs for a long time, took the initiative to summon the head of the authorities, hoping that the authorities would try to facilitate this cooperation.

When a leader raised concerns, the old king also said directly: "The national finances have reached such a dangerous point now, and you are still looking ahead, so how can we boost the national economy and let our people get rid of poverty as soon as possible?"

As for your worries, it is nothing more than those people in Europe and the United States who think that Mr. Zhuang is Chinese, right? But think about it, how have they done their investment in Africa over the years?

Those people will only express their concerns. But what are they doing to improve our national economy? Under the same conditions, you ask them if they are willing to buy such an island?

I have been in contact with Mr. Zhuang earlier, and you are now starting to worry about whether the other party has other intentions to buy the island. But have you ever thought that if he thinks that this investment is not cost-effective, then it is he who loses the most?"

Several questions in a row made several leaders who were invited feel a little embarrassed. And the leader who raised questions and was closer to European and American businessmen was questioned and did not know how to answer. It is also normal for the country to be bullied.

It's obviously a matter of your own country, but you're always worried about attracting questions from other powers. On this point, the old king saw it very clearly. In his view, as long as it is beneficial to the people, it should be strongly supported.

Several leaders who supported the cooperation in the purchase of the island, with the approval of the old king, undoubtedly have a lot more confidence. Despite the fact that the old king was rarely involved in political affairs, there were many members of the parliament who were loyal to him.

Especially for those indigenous tribes, the influence of the old king is also very great. To put it more bluntly, if it weren't for the state reform, the entire kingdom would be royal. Selling an island, why should the royal family worry so much?

Even if the royal family becomes more symbolic, once the royal family speaks, these heads of government also have to consider one or two. Zhuang Haiyang, who doesn't know this, may feel that his gift was not in vain if he knew.

As for the purchase of islands, Zhuang Haiyang felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry. The island is there, even if he doesn't buy it, there shouldn't be many people who are willing to pay a high price to buy the island. If you really want to be snatched away, you will have to pick another island at that time.

In the final analysis, there should not be many people who are willing to fall into this kind of business that clearly has some pitfalls. If there are still gold and silver mines to be mined on the island of Rio, it may still be worth developing. Now, I don't see much value at all.

And the so-called strategic location is important, and in terms of the military strength of the Merina Kingdom, it will not be of any use at all. If a country with a slightly stronger navy really wants to go to war against it, I am afraid that Merina will have the only way to surrender.

On the other hand, how can a war be fought so easily? Without a war, the so-called strategic position of the island of Rio is so important that it is like an ornament!

Zhuang Haiyang, who returned to China after completing the investigation, also told his wife and sister about the situation on Liwu Island. Hearing that this island is so large, the old lady was very surprised and said, "They are willing to sell such a big island?"

"The area of this island is indeed not small, but the whole island is less than one-tenth of the area suitable for habitation. In many places, there is still the possibility of subsidence. In the eyes of others, this is no different from a ruined island. ”

"Since it's a waste island, why do you want to buy it?"

"In the hands of others, this island is naturally a waste island. But if I really want to buy it, I can transform it into a paradise. Don't you feel proud to have such an island?"

"What are you proud of? Is it possible, do you still want to be the king and dominate?"

Zhuang Haiyang, who was fatally complained about by the old lady, could only sigh: "It's definitely not okay to be the king and hegemon, but it's no problem to be a big island owner." Even if it takes a lot of money to build this island, future generations will benefit!

Even if they don't have much money to do in the future, if they have such a big island to inherit, at least they can ensure that they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Most importantly, having such a large island also enhances the reputation of our farms and ranches. ”

Faced with Zhuang Haiyang's explanation, Zhuang Ling said very directly: "This kind of big thing, you can just think of it yourself." My words won't help you much. The only thing I can do is hope that you will do what you can. After all, that's a lot of investment!"

"Indeed, I don't lack money to buy the island. What really costs money is the money for the construction and development of the island. It's just that in this regard, we can cooperate with some domestic companies and some companies in Marina.

In addition, you can plan an area to develop it first. When the ranch begins to make profits, the money earned from the ranch and fishing will continue to be invested in the development and construction of the island. Even if you engage in tourism, I believe that the income is also very good. ”

In the end, even Concubine Li thought that as long as Zhuang Haiyang felt that this kind of thing was feasible, then she had no opinion. People who know Zhuang Haiyang's character know that he often does things before he acts.

It's just that no one expected that Zhuang Haiyang hadn't made up his mind yet, but Zhao Penglin and others came to the door and took the initiative to ask about the overseas purchase of the island. Hearing the news, Zhuang Haiyang was also very surprised and said: "You are well-informed enough!"

"That's nature! How can we not move on to a profitable business? Tell me about the situation!"

"What, you want to get involved, too?"

"If you want to, we won't refuse. It is said that the island has an area of nearly 100 square kilometers, and the sea scenery around the island is also very good, so as long as the pollution is well controlled, it should become a tourist attraction, right?"

"Wow, you know enough information! Unfortunately, the pollution situation on this island is definitely beyond your imagination. Throughout the island, it may be difficult to find drinking groundwater. And Melina, the situation is not stable. ”

"And what do you think?"

In the face of the inquiries of Zhao Penglin and others, Zhuang Haiyang did not hide it: "I plan to take another look! In this investigation, I took a lot of water and soil samples from the island, and sent them to the provincial testing center for corresponding testing.

Check the contamination and see if there is anything you can do to improve it. If there is a way, then naturally such an opportunity will not be missed. If I really buy the island, I will demarcate an area to attract investment and build a seaview resort.

The second is to create a true marine ranch. If you are willing to invest, if you want to build a resort, I can promise that under the same conditions, you will undertake the construction and enjoy a certain share of the revenue. Let's talk about that then!"

"Okay, as long as you're willing to take us to make a fortune together!"

didn't even talk about the conditions, these Nanzhou tycoons who cooperated with Zhuang Haiyang gave such trust, which made Zhuang Haiyang a little helpless. But he knows that these people are actually really shrewd, and he knows that he has never missed a chance in investing.

Just as Merina, he was also waiting for Zhuang Haiyang's reply. The water samples sent for testing, as well as the soil test results, were also quickly delivered to Zhuang Haiyang. After reading it, Zhuang Haiyang felt that it was similar to what he predicted.

The pollution situation on the island of Riou is indeed worse than expected. In addition to groundwater, which contains a large amount of heavy metals and chemical residues, even the sampled soil also contains heavy metal dust of varying degrees.

After sending this test report directly to the law firm, Mi Liya and others from the law firm also frowned and said: "It seems that the situation is more serious than we imagined, do you think he will still be willing to buy this island?"

"I think it's possible! At least there's something worth developing in this report. Even if the area of this place is not large, it can be for Mr. Zhuang. If he's not interested, how can he be so meticulous?"

"So what should we do next?"

"Continue to work closely with him, and then meet with Merina to negotiate and try to ask for more preferential policies. For example, preferential conditions such as tax exemption, escort corps, etc. If you negotiate the price, they should give in. ”

"That's right, as far as I know, Melina's financial crisis is already serious. If the deal for the island can be reached, the funds for the purchase of the island will also greatly ease their financial pressure. What's more, there is a follow-up investment in the development of the islands?"

As Zhuang Haiyang said, as long as he expresses his intention to buy the island, both the law firm and the Merina government will be more active than him. And what he has to do is to express his worries and thoughts from time to time, so that the two sides can facilitate this island purchase agreement!
