Chapter 697: Mozambique Negotiations

"Lao Zhao, you don't know how to wipe off your shit?" Seeing off Zhao Xinlei's lover, Yu Qingyang picked up his mobile phone and called Zhao Xinlei directly in Archia, "Let your mother-in-law run the group to make trouble?"

Hurry up and hand over the work and get me back!"

"Chairman, I'm sorry, I'm ......"

"What are you explaining? Get out of here, coax your daughter-in-law, and don't let her make any more trouble!"

"Got it, Chairman!"

"I'll tell you, don't quarrel with your wife on the phone! Go home and admit your mistake obediently, woman, just coax!

It seems that she still cares about you very much in her heart, and as soon as I said that I would remove you from office and stay on party probation, I was so frightened that your wife's face changed, and she said a few words of apology and left!

You have to cherish such a wife!"

"Got it, Chairman!

"Don't talk about those useless things, come back quickly! Huayu Sanjian has never had a boss, and it has already affected the development of the company to some extent!" Yu Qingyang scolded again, and hung up the phone.

Yu Qingyang hung up the phone, but he began to wonder in his heart, this matter is a little strange, Zhao Xinlei is far away in Africa, how does his wife know that he is fooling around in Africa?

Someone must have said it to her, so the motives of the person who told her about it are questionable.

Yu Qingyang had a name in his mind, the Akigerian Oil Town project was about to be completed, and Zhao Xinlei should come back in a month or two.

This group of them has been in Africa for almost three years, and it's time to come back and fix it.

Who did Zhao Xinlei's return have the greatest impact?

The results speak for themselves!

Although Yu Qingyang had a suspicion, he didn't investigate, and he didn't worry about it anymore, leaving everything to Zhao Xinlei to deal with, if this matter can't be solved, then how can he add a burden to him in the future?

Yu Qingyang stayed in the spring for a few days, and after feeding Xia Xue, he went to the magic capital and continued to command.

For Yu Qingyang to sit in the magic capital, the happiest is naturally the daughter, because every day her father will play with her.

Yu Qingyang didn't want to affect Liu Yunli and Gu Wen's work because of his existence, so although he was sitting in the magic capital, there was nothing that would not appear in the company, at most he would go to the construction site.

The second happiest is Tian Tian, this is the day of a man, every night is so fulfilling.

......

After receiving Yu Qingyang's order, Angela quickly arranged for Jericho and George to lead a team to Mozambique for a new round of negotiations.

This time, with Yu Qingyang's strict order, Jerich and George no longer used crooked tricks and officially started negotiations with the Mozambican government.

The two sides engaged in a war of words over their respective interests, and this time the focus of the dispute was no longer how much land Mozambique would give Hua Yu the right to harvest, prospect and exploit, but how much to pay for Hua Yu and how much Mozambique could get to negotiate.

In other words, the big picture has been set, and now it's about the details.

For example, the railway problem, whether it is cutting down trees or mining, needs the railway to transport, and the railway is naturally repaired by Huayu, and now the dispute is the right to use the railway.

According to Mozambique's requirements, the railway built by Huayu should be used by Mozambique free of charge.

Jericho, on the other hand, insisted that Mozambique could use the railway, but for a fee, and that the right to operate it belonged to Hua Yu, who could set up a railway operating company to be responsible for the passenger and freight operations of the railway.

But this article was debated for two days, and finally Mozambique gave in, and Hua Yu could operate independently, but the stations along the route had to be built according to their requirements.

The land that Hua Yu asked for spanned several provinces, and there were seven or eight cities along the way, and Mozambique naturally hoped that Hua Yu's railway would connect these cities.

Since then, Hua Yu has to invest a lot of money in the construction of the railway.

In the end, however, Jericho relented and agreed to build a limited number of railway lines and stations in accordance with Mozambique's requirements.

Then he began to discuss taxes, and what percentage of Hua Yu's employees in Mozambique should be Mozambicans.

Initially, Mozambique required a minimum of 70 percent of its national employees.

This is a very outrageous ratio, Mozambique is a lion's big mouth, sky-high asking price, Jericho naturally could not agree, bargained, only promised to use no less than 10% Mozambican employees.

The two sides pestered for several more days, and finally decided that the ratio should not be less than 30 percent.

The proportion of 30 percent is not low, and many Western countries' enterprises in Africa cannot reach this proportion at all, at most about 20 percent.

More often than not, they hired people from other countries, or even bought slaves outright to work.

In Africa, most blacks are good slaves, but not good employees.

These people are used to being lazy, and when they are slaves, they are whipped and worked, and they are hard-working, well-behaved, but when they are employees, they always want to cheat and cheat.

In such a vast place as Africa, in addition to some other political factors, their character is also an important reason.

It took a week for the two sides to negotiate, which shows the efficiency of the Mozambican government.

The negotiators had no authority at all, and they had to go back and ask for instructions on every issue, and then the president would meet to discuss it, and it would take a day or two to settle it.

Moving on to the timber processing plant, Mozambique naturally does not want to export logs directly, but wants to do primary processing in Mozambique, such as the production of panels, which are relatively high value-added products for export.

The same is true for mineral resources such as coal and iron ore, and it is hoped that Hua Yu will be able to build a factory in Mozambique to produce steel instead of exporting ore directly.

There is no problem with the initial processing of wood, and it is processed into boards in Mozambique, which Yu Qingyang also agreed, so naturally there is no problem.

The key is to build a steel plant in Mozambique, and this Jerif and George can't call the shots.

can only report to their boss Angela, and Angela asks Yu Qingyang again.

I don't know if there are iron mines in Mozambique! I began to dwell on this, and Yu Qingyang was also speechless.

"Angela, tell Jerry that a coking plant can be built, but a steel plant can't!

Whether you can find iron ore or not, the iron ore reserves are unknown, and talk about building a steel plant, isn't it a joke?"

"Understood, boss, I also feel that Mozambique's request is a bit unreliable!

I'm going to scold Jereif and George when I go back, and I'll report this kind of problem!

"Well, the Mozambican government has given us a wake-up call!

Now that Africa is in the early stages of development, there is a huge demand for steel, and we can consider building a steel plant in Guinea!"

"Boss, the political situation in Guinea is not suitable for this kind of long-term investment!" Angela reminded softly.
