Chapter 735: Formal Negotiations

The next day, Mozambique did not arrange negotiations, but was accompanied by Stefano Morrone and Luisa Orcode, toured the scenery of Maputo and took a yacht to the island of Inicaya.

"Dear Mr. Wang, this is Inicaya Island, when we finish signing the contract, this island will be your Huayu's, I hope it can be developed more beautiful in your hands!" Stefano Morrone said loudly to Wang Hongbo.

"This island is so beautiful! Mr. Morrone, you have to believe that our company will never go on a large scale to destroy this natural beauty!

Our chairman once said that we want to make this island the business card of Mozambique, a business card island that can make the world know Mozambique again!"

"Yes, Mr. Yu of your company once said that he wanted to make this island a Mozambican folk island and a tourist destination in South Africa!" Stefano Morrone remembered what the confident young man said to him when he was in China.

At this time, Inikaya Island was still a pristine scenery, and those who came here to play were all self-guided tours.

It's not that Mozambique doesn't want to develop the island, but it doesn't have the money and the tourism resources to do it.

Invest a lot of money to develop the island, and if no one comes to play, it will be a loss.

At this point, Hua Yu is not afraid, backed by the huge market of China, and is not afraid of no tourism resources.

The unique natural scenery, folk customs, and low cost of consumption here, as long as they are properly promoted, will definitely attract a large number of Chinese tourists.

After a day of sightseeing on Inikaya Island, diving, swimming, surfing, beach walking, and tasting the unique local food on the island, Wang Hongbo and his party returned with a lot of fun.

It was only on the third day that the Mozambican government began negotiations in earnest.

In fact, the so-called negotiation is a formality, and the terms that need to be negotiated have already been negotiated, and this time it is only for the world to see.

The previous negotiations were secret negotiations and were not made public, but now the negotiations are followed by reporters throughout the whole process.

Li Xiangnong, ambassador of the Chinese Embassy in Mozambique, also attended the signing ceremony.

"This is the specific plan for our Huayu investment in Mozambique!" Wang Hongbo handed over a translated document to Luisa Olkode, Mozambique's minister of commerce.

"We plan to build two railways in Mozambique, as well as corresponding supporting roads!

We will upgrade your country's seaports, terminals, and international airports!

In addition, we will also be building a CBD project in Maputo, Chinatown!

In addition to residential areas, there will also be schools, hospitals, five-star hotels, shopping malls, office buildings, banks, and banks, and I will explain a little that in addition to the banks of your country, the banks in Chinatown will also have branches of the five major state-owned banks in our country, as well as the Export-Import Bank of China, HSBC and other seven banks!

In addition, we will build a 33-storey Huayu Building to serve as our company's headquarters in Africa!" Wang Hongbo said in general terms the content of the investment plan.

"Dear Mr. Wang, I remember that Mr. Yu of your company also promised to build some factories, but it was not specifically stated on the documents!" Louisa Alkod asked, looking through the documents.

"The type of factory in the document is not specified, and that's because we are not sure what resources are available on the land that your country has given us!

For example, the steel plant you want, it is still not sure whether there are iron ore resources in your country, let alone the grade of iron ore, so we have no way to indicate it on the document.

Therefore, only the factories that can be identified are indicated above, including wood processing plants, coking plants, power plants, and building materials industrial parks!"

"And what about the furniture factory?"

"Ms. Olkode, it seems that the furniture factory refused in the first place!

Furniture produced in your country is shipped to the country for sale, which will greatly increase our freight and duty expenses!

This part of the expenditure will make our furniture uncompetitive in the country! Therefore, we only promise to invest in the construction of wood processing factories in your country!

At this point, don't say your country, even the United States, Canada, Australia, we only import their oak, walnut and other raw materials!

When it comes to timber, our company promises that all timber fell, we will replant it in a one-to-one ratio!

In other words, for every tree we cut down, we will plant a sapling in the same place, and we will guarantee its survival rate!"

Here, Wang Hongbo, or Yu Qingyang, was sloppy and did not say what kind of saplings to plant.

Of course, the permanent right to use the land belongs to Hua Yu, and Hua Yu will definitely not replant those cheap saplings, naturally what is the high economic value of the wood to replant.

It's not that timber is worth a lot of money, it's not that the economic value is high, there is also a time cost.

Huanghuali, small-leaved red sandalwood is precious, but a small-leaved red sandalwood seedling to mature timber, even if it is artificially cultivated, it takes fifty or sixty years to produce timber, and such artificial wood, wood density is relatively low, brown eyes are more, oily and growth rings are obvious, more than one grade worse than wild small-leaved red sandalwood.

Therefore, planting timber does not mean that the precious economic value of timber is high.

"In addition, consider that the situation of illegal logging in your country is very serious!

Once the investment contract is signed, this illegal logging is tantamount to sucking blood on our Huayu!

That's why we need forest law enforcement powers!

Armed patrol of the forest resources under the name of our company!

In addition, your country's ports and terminals should also be strictly inspected to prevent any illegally harvested timber from flowing out of Mozambique!"

This article alone was negotiated repeatedly for more than a month before it was decided.

In the beginning, Yu Qingyang wanted not only forest law enforcement powers, but also port law enforcement powers, which could inspect any suspicious timber, as well as maritime search rights to search and arrest ships that were smuggling illegal timber.

However, Mozambique refused, which is understandable, and the right to enforce the forest law is easy to say, after all, it is on Hua Yu's own land, protecting his own property, and it is said in the past.

Once Hua Yu arrived at the seaport, he went to the sea to search for smuggled illegal timber, which involved sovereignty issues.

If the president of Mozambique dares to agree, he will definitely be attacked by the opposition parties, and if he does not do well, he will be ousted because of this.

Of course, Yu Qingyang didn't really want that, but he was asking for a price and bargaining on the ground.

The aim is to get Mozambique to agree to crack down on illegal logging and smuggling of timber.

Seventy percent of the timber exported from Mozambique each year is illegally cut and smuggled out of the country.

Yu Qingyang's fundamental goal is to use the power of the Mozambican government to crack down on illegal logging and smuggling timber, and then monopolize Mozambique's timber export business.
