Chapter 790: Abandoning the Port of Maputo?
"Expected!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
Whether Japan wants to make trouble for Huayu or really wants to invest in the port of Maputo, it will not be so honest.
It is a common practice in Japan to bribe officials at all levels of Mozambique's Ministry of Commercial Affairs, through bribery, to obtain some more secret information, and then to obtain greater benefits.
And the corruption of the Mozambican government**, which is also known in the world.
Otherwise, the same is extremely poor, other countries have only low, very low credit ratings, Mozambique's credit rating is junk.
Garbage level is hopeless, worthless, and untrustworthy.
"Expected?Chairman, is there anything we don't know about?" Lu Meng looked at Yu Qingyang suspiciously.
"Well, the Yokohama International Port Group, a subsidiary of Japan's Mitsui Group, is also interested in investing in the Port of Maputo to renovate and expand the Port of Maputo!"
"Yokohama, Japan?" Lumon couldn't help but take a cool breath.
Japan's Yokohama Company is an established international port company.
Long before World War II, a company that existed.
"What's the matter? I'm scared, I'm worried about the competition, but the Yokohama company?"
"I'm afraid, that's not true, I'm just a little surprised by the strength of the opponent!
Chairman, it seems that you have to come forward in this matter!
Yokohama, Japan appeared at this time, and the purpose was probably not simple!
We are not afraid of fair competition, but we are afraid that Yokohama does not come with an attitude of fair competition!
In case they are trying to disrupt the situation, then we will be passive!" Rumeng calmly analyzed.
For Lu Meng, he was able to grasp the essence of the problem in such a short time, so that Yu Qingyang couldn't help but be impressed by this chubby, not tall, and a little thankful guy for Lu Meng.
Yes, the Japanese company Yokohama has come to insert this lever at this time, and it is certainly not because it values Mozambique's development potential.
The purpose is to make trouble for Huayu Group.
They can lower the conditions without a bottom line until Hua Yu can't hold it anymore.
Wait for Hua Yu to withdraw, and then conduct a second round of negotiations, adding various additional conditions to make a profit.
At this time, Mozambique had already offended the Huayu Group, and even if it was dissatisfied with the additional conditions of the Yokohama company, it could only swallow its anger and agree to all kinds of unreasonable conditions.
Unless they abandon the port of Maputo and let Maputo continue to sink, until a few years later, Maputo is abolished due to aging equipment and clogged waterways.
And on Hua Yu's side, once the port of Maputo was controlled by Yokohama, Japan, that was the beginning of the disaster.
No matter how many resources Mozambique has, if it can't be shipped, it will be zero.
"Tomorrow I will meet with the President of Mozambique to talk!
I believe that as long as the president of Mozambique is not stupid, he will not agree to give Hong Kong ** to the Japanese company Yokohama!
At most, I just hope to take this opportunity to reap more benefits!" Yu Qingyang smiled calmly.
The sudden appearance of the Japanese Yokohama company, although it will make Hua Yu more passive, is not a fatal blow.
At most, it is a complete exit from Mozambique and the loss of a little money.
As long as there is money, there are places in Africa where you can invest, if nothing else, Mozambique's neighbors alone, such as South Africa, such as Rwanda, such as Tanzania, can invest.
The four of them chatted for a while, exchanged their views on the sudden intervention of the Japanese company in Yokohama, and it was time for dinner.
……
The next day, both Rumon and Ma Xinjing continued to negotiate as requested by Yu Qingyang, accompanying officials from Mozambique's Ministry of Business Affairs to spend time.
Yu Qingyang went to meet with the president of Mozambique.
"Good morning, Mr. President!"
"Good morning, dear Mr. Yu, do you want to see me, I don't know what good news there is?" the President of Mozambique warmly welcomed Yu Qingyang to the reception room.
"I heard that the Japanese company Yokohama is also interested in investing in your country's Maputo port?" Yu Qingyang didn't bother to go around in circles, and asked directly.
"Yes, all this brings us good luck from the esteemed Mr. Yu!
Yokohama is a large international port company that belongs to the Mitsui Group of Japan, which is as powerful as yours......"
"Hehe, Mr. President thinks too highly of our company!
Our company can't compare to a big consortium like Mitsui!" Yu Qingyang chuckled softly.
"The purpose of my visit today is to tell Mr. President, that since a super port company like Yokohama, Japan is willing to invest in your country's terminal, our company is also willing to become an adult!
We are willing to withdraw from the investment in the renovation and expansion project of the Port of Maputo!"
"Dear Mr. Yu, why are you doing this? I never said that I would hand over the port of Maputo to the Japanese company Yokohama!
Compared to Yokohama, Japan, I am more willing to cooperate with your company!
Under the same conditions, I will definitely choose your company!
Mr. Yu, please believe us!" the Mozambican president thought that Yu Qingyang was going to withdraw his investment, and hurriedly said.
"Mr. President, I think you have misunderstood!
Our withdrawal from the competition in the port of Maputo is also for the sake of your country!
After all, the Japanese company Yokohama is stronger and can better help your country develop Maputo better!
This is a better choice for your country!
Our company can invest in any port in Zambezi, Sofala, Nampula or elsewhere!
Anyway, we also need to have a port that can dock 100,000 tons of ships, it doesn't matter which port!" Yu Qingyang said with a relaxed smile.
"This ......" the president of Mozambique was a little moved.
"We will find a random port to invest in and expand into the port we need, so that it will not affect our investment in your country, and your country can leave such a large international port company as Yokohama, Japan!
If the Mitsui consortium is willing to invest in your country, then your country will be able to get rid of poverty just around the corner!" Yu Qingyang continued to try to persuade the President of Mozambique as he thought about it.
The more Yu Qingyang is like this, the president of Mozambique has no bottom in his heart.
The president of Mozambique is worried that Yu Qingyang is saying the opposite, and if he misunderstands and Hua Yu turns around and withdraws, then Mozambique will lose more than just an investment.
If you don't get it, he's going to be impeached as a president.
You must know that Mozambique is not a one-party government, but a multi-party government, and although the Liberation Front is the largest party in Mozambique, it has always been the ruling party.
However, the other parties should not be ignored, and they are all hoping that the FLD will make mistakes.
"Dear Mr. Yu, I personally really hope that the port of Maputo can be invested by your company!" Gezabu said while thinking about Yu Qingyang's intentions.
