Chapter 285: It's a Painful Choice [Fourth Update]

A few people were silent, the reality was very skinny, originally thinking that he and others had even sold their sovereignty, and there would definitely be rich people who would give up their money, but I knew that there was no one, and the only buyer was the Apocalypse Group, and the Apocalypse Group didn't care about sovereignty.

"Robafe, Jim, we may have done this wrong in the first place" Gordon looked at the two and said, Robbuffy and Jim were both stunned, and Robafy made a gesture for Gordon to continue.

"Even if we reach an agreement with the Apocalypse Group, the money will be divided equally, and we won't get much benefit from it, are we secretly reaching an agreement with the Apocalypse Group?"

"As long as the Apocalypse Group can guarantee our interests, everything is easy to say" Gordon watched the two of them say this, and everyone began to ponder.

"Gordon, have you thought about it, the price is not in place, the New Zealand side will definitely not agree, their life is not so easy now, more income will be much better, next year is the election year, the ruling party needs a good performance" Mani looked at Gordon and said.

"Gentlemen, now is the time for us to take care of ourselves, I have no money, I have less than two thousand euros in all my possessions, and if this continues, I will sleep on the streets" Gordon looked at Mani and yelled directly, he had reached the point of exhaustion, and he could not take care of so much.

"I'm no better than you, and I'm only a little more than three thousand in cash," said Jim, who was no better off than Gordon with a gloomy expression.

"How much money do you need, I'll talk to Liu Wenjun, Gordon is right, it's time for us to take care of ourselves" Luo Bafei said with a gloomy face.

"One hundred million," Gordon said with red eyes.

"Gordon, be sober, give you 100 million, what do you get in return, give Niue Bai to the Apocalypse Group, if you can do it, I will give you 200 million" Robafe stared at Gordon and said, and the others were no exception, they all stared at Gordon, an idiot, looking down on the current situation.

"I'm sorry, I'm crazy poor, I just have money left in my head" Gordon also realized his problem, said a word, and then let out a long sigh.

"Robafe, the six of us are 10 million euros each, as long as the Apocalypse Group can agree, we will try our best to cooperate" Jim looked at Robafe and said, the others nodded along with him, with 10 million, the family can live the rest of their lives comfortably.

"Gentlemen, it's very difficult, before the hurricane, Liu Wenjun bit the price of 4 billion, and refused to add a cent, this price is really not high, New Zealand wants 30 percent, 1.2 billion euros will be given to New Zealand, and the remaining 2.8 billion will be evenly distributed to the people"

"At present, the number of legal Niue people is more than 400 people, and each person can get more than 6 million, of which more than 3 million must be invested in New Zealand, and about 3 million will fall into their hands, and this money is no longer enough for them to settle in other countries."

"We have already said that each person can get about 10 million funds, and from now on they can live a rich and happy life, so they will vote for us and let us do this"

"I can't be satisfied now, do you think they will accept it honestly" Robafe said as he looked at a few people.

Everyone frowned, this matter is not so easy to handle, once it does not meet expectations, it will be very troublesome.

"Robafi, let's call them to a meeting in Niue, let them know about this matter, see how they choose, it's okay not to accept, see how long they can hold on, we're in such a difficult situation now, I don't believe they are not difficult"

"The premise is that as long as the Apocalypse Group agrees to our request, we will honestly vote in favor of them," Gordon looked at Robafe with a grim expression.

"I agree with Gordon," Jim said.

Robafi looked at the others, nodded silently, and agreed with Gordon.

"Okay, that's it, when Liu Wenjun comes, I'll talk to her, I'll try to raise the price as much as possible, but if it's really not good, I will throw out this plan, provided that you have to keep it absolutely confidential"

"Once the matter leaks out, gentlemen, we will be the rats that everyone shouts and beats, and no one can say anything for the sake of our families," Robafe said as he looked at the crowd.

"Understood", "I can't say anything", "Whoever dares to leak the secret, I will kill him".............

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and Luo Bafei nodded, raised his hand and drank the wine in the cup.

Time passed slowly two days, Liu Wenjun returned to Wellington from Melbourne, Luo Bafei immediately went to see Liu Wenjun as soon as he got the news, Liu Wenjun made a phone call to Xu Ping'an during the period, and finally shook hands with Luo Bafei, and Luo Bafei left.

A day later, Niue issued a notice that all the nationals returned to Niue for a referendum, and those who did not arrive were stripped of their national status, knowing what was going on, and within three days they were all returning to Niue, and the National Convention began.

Robafi announced the progress of the matter, and the current agreement with the Apocalypse Group is four billion euros, which is the only offer, and the use of this money has been explained, and now it is time for everyone to make a choice.

Yes or no, there must be a result today, yes, tomorrow New Zealand will send someone to witness the referendum, endorse this agreement, and the sale plan will enter the actual operation stage.

It's okay if you don't agree, everyone continues to stay up like this, but now that the opposition party in New Zealand has proposed a bill for expulsion, whether everyone can live in New Zealand in the future is still a matter of choice, and whether they can survive depends on God's will.

The conference was very silent, many people raised sharp questions, and Luo Bafei answered them one by one, including the list of people contacted by Luo Bafei, all the big rich people who called the number one were connected, and no one was willing to buy.

"Gentlemen, ladies, the reality is cruel, we went to the United States, we went to Europe, and none of the rich people promised, giving the highest price of 100 million euros, and the Apocalypse Group was the only buyer"

"And we also have competition from other countries, you all know what the situation is in the South Pacific at the moment, you are trying to sell the islands, and there are almost no buyers, I have been informed that this hurricane has killed thousands of people in Fiji"

"There are a lot of deaths in other countries, and we have escaped in New Zealand, but New Zealand can't let us stay so inexplicably forever, and at that time, what will happen to our families, what will happen to our children?"

"If the agreement is really reached, we lose Niue, but we have survived, and now it is time to make a choice, the decision is in your hands, what to do, it depends on your choice"

Luo Bafei made a final speech with a sad face, and everyone present had a heavy face, and they basically had no funds in their hands, and agreeing with this plan was the only choice at present.

Jim, Gordon, Mani and others took a piece of printed paper and sent it down, with a big headline on the paper, and two options below, yes and no, you choose which one to tick on it, and write your name at the end.

It was a painful choice, many people looked at the paper and cried, and in about half an hour, the paper was confiscated, the staff began to count the votes, and the ballots appeared one by one, and the numbers increased one by one.

Of the 443 people present, 384 voted in favor, two voted against, and the rest abstained.

Wellington, Niue Special Assistance Group, Burns put down the phone with a serious face, "Niue has already had a result, tomorrow there will be a referendum, please send someone over to witness".

"Expected, this is their only way out, they should be grateful to the Apocalypse Group, if the Apocalypse Group does not appear, their final result will be to stay in Niue and fend for themselves" Abes said with a serious face.

"We and the senior management of Australia have contacted Xu Ping'an of Tianqi Group, and Xu Ping'an has made it clear that laboratory construction materials and daily necessities will be purchased from our two countries."

"This laboratory is engaged in research on marine ecological restoration and the stripping of marine toxic elements, and in addition to the researchers, there are more than 100 guards, and there will be no additional personnel."

"Researchers will be drawn from the Celestial Empire Institute of Renewable Resources and the United Kingdom's Institute of Renewable Resources, as well as the acquisition of the Trident Oceanographic Institute of Australia and our Mermaid Research Institute."

"Once the institute is completed, it will be the largest marine institute in the world, and it will be a good thing for us, you and I both know how serious the pollution in the ocean is at the moment, and it is urgent to save the ocean," Taryn said as he looked at the two of them.

"Xu Ping'an has invested so much money in marine research, how can he recover the cost," Burns looked at Taryn and asked.

"This problem is very simple, there is a price to pay for repairing the ecology of your coastline, and if you don't give money, Tianqi Group will not repair it for you, and again, the United Nations has special funds for ocean governance, billions of dollars a year, which is not a small amount of money."

"Again, everyone in the world knows that the ocean is the biggest treasure house, and it really made the Apocalypse Oceanographic Research Institute make a breakthrough, and at that time, the profits brought to the Apocalypse Group were definitely astronomical," Taryn said with a wry smile.

"We are all laughing at Xu Ping'an's investment in scientific research, but who can clearly see the profits that scientific research has brought to Xu Ping'an, the current state of the development of Tianqi Group, I really don't care about the sovereignty of the island, and it really doesn't have much impact on it," Burns also said with a wry smile.

"Let's not be emotional, let's inform the prime minister, and send someone over tomorrow," Abes said with a long sigh on the side, things have reached the point where they can only take one step at a time.
