Chapter 633 Investment Negotiations

Jerif took the document and flipped through it, then threw it back, and said with a change of color: "Mr. Barnett, if this is the standard, there is no need for us to continue negotiating!"

Your country is obviously insincere!"

"This is only the preliminary intention of our country, and Mr. Kane has any objections to raise!

Isn't it just that you put forward your conditions, and I put forward my conditions!

And then we will negotiate again?" said Mozambique, with a smile on his face.

"5,000 square kilometers of forestry resource exploitation rights?

According to your country's forest reserves, 5,000 square kilometers can produce 20 million cubic meters of timber!

When did Mozambique timber become so valuable?" Jericho asked angrily.

"20 million cubic meters of timber is also worth 16.7 billion US dollars!"

"You're talking about the export price, don't we have to pay taxes? Timber harvesting doesn't need to be done manually, transportation to the port doesn't cost money, and forest restoration doesn't need money?

If your country directly provides 20 million cubic meters of timber and promises to transport it to the port, then agree at once, without saying a word!" Jerif cried angrily, slapping the table.

"And the right to mineral exploration!"

"Oh, we want the right to survey and the right to mine!

You only give the right to survey, what do you mean?

We provide free services for your country, and find out the mineral reserves for your country, so you can take them to attract investment?"

"So what are the conditions of your company?" asked the representative of Mozambique, weakly.

He also knew that his conditions were a bit harsh, but the negotiations were not always like this, asking for prices and bargaining on the ground.

"This is our condition, your country will study it! Agree that we will continue to talk, if you don't agree, I will report to the company!"

By the way, we also have a delegation in our company that is negotiating an investment with Guinea!" Jericho said, turning to leave the conference room.

Negotiation is never a good day, nor is it simply a verbal confrontation between you and me.

In addition to insulting and fighting, slapping the table, smashing the bench, screaming, and mocking, both sides will use all means to suppress the other party and strive for the initiative in negotiations.

Barnett picked up the file and glanced at it cursoryly, then he couldn't care about the departing Jerichor and George.

Holding the papers, he hurried away with a pale face.

How can such a document be promised, once agreed, it is equivalent to giving one-tenth of the country to Hua Yu.

Jericho's document lists the conditions for the investment, requiring a total of 50,000 square kilometers of land in Maputo, Tete Province, Zambezia Province and other places, including the right to exploit above-ground forest resources, the right to explore underground mineral resources, and the right to exploit and exploit them.

This group of Yankees is really ruthless!

It is certainly not easy for the parliament to agree to such conditions, and this is simply a treaty that humiliates the country.

Barnett took Javifer's conditions back, which naturally caused a big wave of hype.

Someone directly proposed to suspend the negotiations with Hua Yu and find another partner.

Or simply take out a loan from the Export-Import Bank of China to build the Zambezi River hydropower plant.

Some people even proposed that since the Zambezi River is not in good condition, the construction should be postponed and repaired when the time is ripe.

In the end, it was the ruling party of the presidential faction that prevailed, bypassing Jerifer and negotiating directly with the Huayu Group.

......

Huayu Urban Development Group.

Yu Qingyang received two representatives from Mozambique in his office.

The two representatives sued Jerif and the two of them fiercely.

"Two representatives of your company, when they arrived in Mozambique, were not in a hurry to negotiate at all, and spent every day on the beach and in the bars, looking for beauty and fun......

Finally, under the repeated urging of our negotiators, negotiations were carried out, but extremely unreasonable and extremely harsh conditions were proposed!

They're going to negotiate, it's just going on vacation......"

After listening to the two Mozambican representatives, Yu Qingyang smiled.

"Mr. Monena, I have just looked at the conditions put forward by your country, as well as those put forward by our representatives, and I feel that there is no problem!

Mr. Monena has just accused our representative of outrageous conditions!

But forget that the conditions in your country are even more absurd!

According to the conditions put forward by your country, our company does not invest, but to help the poor and do charity!

And, with all due respect, Mr. Monena, I do not feel at all the harshness of the conditions put forward by our representatives!

Mozambique has almost zero infrastructure!

Whether it's Maputo, Tete, or Zambezia provinces, there is a lack of transportation.

In these three places, whether it is mining forest resources or mineral resources, the first thing to solve is the transportation problem!

It is necessary to build a road or a railway!

Your country only saw that we demanded 50,000 square kilometers of land, but ignored how much our company would have to pay to transport these resources out!

Am I going to build three railways to the port of Maputo, as well as side roads, in order to transport these mineral resources?

We will invest tens of billions of dollars in the development of 50,000 square kilometers, and these tens of billions of dollars will be spent on Mozambique, how much GDP growth will it bring to your country, how many jobs will it provide for your country, and how much will it increase in tax revenue? Have you calculated?

And Inhaca, last time you proposed to let my company go to your country to invest in the cultural landscape corridor, I think this island is good!

In your country's hands, it's just an island with a nice pristine scenery.

A small number of tourists visit every year!

But once we hand it over to our company, we will make a lot of investments to create a cultural landscape on the island that is unique to Mozambique, and we will promote and nurture the tourism industry of Inhaca!

How much foreign exchange income will this bring to your country, and how many people will be employed?

Mr. Monena, we negotiate not by how much we give, but by how much we get!

Let's put it this way, 50,000 square kilometers of land, forest and mineral resources, in exchange for 20 years of accelerated Mozambique industry, do you think it is cost-effective?" Yu Qingyang's series of rhetorical questions made Monena confused.

It seems that if you do this, or is Mozambique taking advantage?

"Mr. Monena, I know that there are people in your country who are closer to Western countries!

However, I would like to say that only we, China, will give such favorable conditions!

The capitalists of Western countries, their conditions will be even more harsh!

Mr. Monena will go back and think about it, and then report back to the President of your country!

I'm waiting for your good news!" Yu Qingyang finished speaking, ending the meeting.

"Honorable Mr. Yu, I heard that your country is negotiating with the Guinean government for investment?"

"Oh! Yes, but the investment negotiations are not accurate enough!

Our company has two iron mines in Guinea and three bauxite mining rights!

What we are negotiating with Guinea is to continue to increase investment!

You know, Guinea's forest resources are also very rich!" Yu Qingyang responded with a smile.
