Chapter 446: Emergency Landing (4)

James said: "The United Nations has decided to sanction you!"

When Yao Yi heard it, he sneered and said, "Sanction me, the news you got from there!"

James said: "The news that the British government has passed on to me!"

Yao Yi thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, let's discuss it and then talk about it, let's go, go up and talk about it!"

As soon as Yao Yi and the others sat down, the Cuban president and some high-ranking officials came to the hotel where Yao Yi was staying.

The Cuban president met Yao Yi and said, "I didn't expect Prince James to come too, this is the first time we have received such a distinguished guest as Prince James!"

James smiled and said, "I'm here to find Duke Yao, so it's not an official visit, so please don't misunderstand, I'll leave tomorrow!"

The Cuban president smiled and said, "Since you're here, let's talk about it for a few days, let's go, I've prepared a dinner, let's talk while eating!"

Yao Yi said: "Chairman, I have some urgent matters here, I have to deal with them, you see that I will leave tonight, how about it!"

The Cuban president said: "Duke Yao, don't worry, we have made a collective decision about your investment, so let's have a good talk tonight, I hope to sign an agreement as soon as possible, tomorrow, I will send a plane to escort you away, you see how it goes!"

Yao Yi glanced at James, and James immediately understood, he was also speechless now.

Yao Yi said: "In this way, let's take care of this banquet for Prince James, you send economic officials to talk to me about investment, what do you think!"

The Cuban president smiled and said: "Hehe, okay, the vice chairman will take over the dust for Prince James instead of me, and I will talk to you directly with the Minister of Industry about this investment!"

Yao Yi and the Cuban president and others came to a VIP room, and only the wise mouse followed Yao Yi, and the others went to the banquet.

Yao Yi said: "Has the chairman made a decision?"

The Cuban president said: "This matter mainly depends on how Duke Yao decides!"

Yao Yi said: "I would like to reiterate my conditions again: first, the oil exploration and development in your country, including the waters under its jurisdiction, will be carried out exclusively by my holding company, and second, I will own 80 percent of the shares!"

The Cuban president said: "We have already discussed your conditions, and there is no problem with either condition, but we want to know how much money Duke Yao wants to invest in us!"

Yao Yi thought for a while and said, "This matter needs to be carefully calculated to be able to know!"

The Cuban president said: "You estimate how much you can invest, this is very important!"

Yao Yi said with a smile: "In this way, we have set up a new branch in Cuba, which is responsible for oil exploration and development, as well as petroleum refining, how much investment do you want!"

"We feel that such a large-scale project should be invested at least 10 billion US dollars," said the Cuban president.

When Yao Yi heard this, he was directly stunned and said: "What, 10 billion US dollars, this project can't even use a billion US dollars, not to mention anything else, let's just say that Canada's Juneng Oil & Gas Company, their total assets are only 3 billion US dollars, not only have a large number of oil fields and gas fields in Canada, but also have 10 billion barrels of oil reserves in the United States, I am afraid it is difficult for me to accept this condition you proposed!"

The Cuban president said: "I heard that Duke Yao has $1.8 trillion in cash in his hands, which is just $10 billion, which should be nothing!"

Yao Yi smiled and said: "What you said is right, but the problem is that the entire project can't even use a billion dollars, but you want 10 billion dollars, of which the dollars are the 'waste' fee for funds, so I can't accept this condition, I will invest at most two billion dollars, and I won't invest more!"

Yao Yi was a little angry in his heart, and scolded in his heart: "You old slippery head, you are simply blackmailing me, it is really unreasonable, although you have rich oil resources here, but you will not be so cruel to me!"

The Cuban president said: "Duke Yao, don't worry, I am worth not only oil exploration and exploitation, but also oil refining and oil transportation, such as the purchase of several giant oil tankers of hundreds of thousands of tons, etc., our future business is not only in Cuba, but also in other places, the oil company I want to establish is a large oil company, an oil company that can enter the international market, so this 10 billion US dollars is not much!"

In the heart of the Cuban president, one of his most important considerations was to announce to the United States through Yao Yi's contract with a large amount of money that the era of Cuba's economic sanctions against the United States should be over.

However, in Yao Yi's heart, the main consideration is commercial interests, and the two people consider different things, one is dominated by political forces, and the other is dominated by economic benefits, which is not the same concept at all.

At this time, the wisdom mouse muttered a few words in Yao Yi's ear.

Yao Yi said: "In this way, if you have to let me invest 10 billion US dollars, 2 billion in oil, and the remaining 8 billion US dollars, allow me to invest in your mineral resources!"

At this time, the Cuban president and the minister of industry were a little surprised.

Cuba is a country rich in mineral resources, mainly nickel, cobalt, chromium, in addition to manganese, copper, etc., cobalt reserves of 800,000 tons, nickel reserves of 14.6 million tons, chromium 2 million tons, in addition, there is zeolite, its reserves are estimated to reach 3 billion tons, second only to the United States and the Soviet Union.

The Cuban president said: "Our mineral resources are the foundation of our country, and we can't just cooperate with others so easily, besides, before that, we didn't talk about mineral resources, so let's not talk about mineral resources investment, we only talk about oil resources!"

Yao Yi said: "If that's the case, I can only invest two billion dollars, which is my ceiling!"

The Minister of Industry said: "In fact, Duke Yao can also invest in our tourism resources!"

Yao Yi thought to himself: "I have no funds to develop the tourism resources in my own 'private' territory, let me come here to develop tourism resources, I am sick, besides, tourism resources are not strategic resources, investing in tourism is simply a 'waste' of my funds!"

Yao Yi said with a smile: "Just like the chairman said, I didn't take into account the investment in tourism resources, so today we are only talking about oil investment!"

The Cuban president and the minister of industry looked at each other, and for a moment they did not know how to face it.

The two of them muttered a few words and discussed, thinking that Yao Yi couldn't hear it, but Yao Yi could hear it clearly, because Yao Yi's ears were more sensitive than Shunfeng ears.

Yao Yi immediately understood their psychology, and saw that the stalemate situation was quickly reversed.
