Chapter 324: Generous Gifts (4)
James thought for a while and said: "Duke Yao, actually, I still have some ideas, the land area of this East Malaysia is relatively large, and the territory area of our British Empire is about the same, we can build a large area on this territory, realize our ideals, and develop it into a place with international influence!"
Yao Yi said: "This area is indeed large, but the population there is still relatively dense, and it is not easy to develop the land there, besides, I am just a businessman, and I own part of the 'private' territory for self-defense, and I don't have the same ambition as you, so, Your Royal Highness, I think we can forget about this matter!"
James said: "If we don't develop the land here, then we will build steel mills, nuclear power plants, heliports and other factories there, these factories are all big factories, and we need a lot of land to build, and more than 1,000 square meters of land in the Admiralty Islands is not enough!"
Yao Yi said with a smile: "Hehe, there is more land in the world, you don't have to worry about this, come, for our common friendship, and to resist the blackmail of the Malayan government, let's have a drink!"
Now James is in no mood to drink, although he is a little withdrawn, but if he loses Yao Yi's help this time, when it comes to the next cooperation, he doesn't know if it is the Year of the Monkey.
James began to have a difficult time, and now he was thinking about whether Yao Yi really didn't want this land anymore, or whether he wanted to bargain.
James was silent for nearly ten minutes, and finally said: "Duke Yao, if this matter is not so, we are discussing it with the Malayan Governor, and if you are willing, we can go around the local area together and find out the actual situation in the local area!"
Yao Yi thought for a while and said: "That's it, I have been doing a lot in China recently, I see that you have brought so many lawyers, and I will also send a team of lawyers to accompany you on a trip, you see if it will work, what is the matter, when you and the Malaysia politician have discussed it almost, we will 'communicate' again!"
When James heard Yao Yi's words, he had a bottom in his heart, and thought: "This Duke Yao actually wants this land from the bottom of his heart, but he was just expressing his dissatisfaction just now, if this is the case, I will put a little more pressure on the Malaysian government, maybe things will take a turn for the better!"
Thinking of this, James asked, "Does Duke Yao have any conditions?"
Yao Yi said: "My conditions are very simple, I am the master of my territory, and all the rights of military, foreign 'diplomacy', administration, finance, justice, etc., are all up to me, and Malaysian politics must not interfere!"
James said: "Duke Yao, in this case, it is undoubtedly not a country!"
Yao Yi said: "Nominally belonging to the Malaysia government, in fact, I enjoy all the lordship privileges, and I am completely responsible for the more than 200,000 square kilometers of land, every inch of land there is mine, I control everything, this is my condition, if you think these conditions are more harsh, it is better not to go, we will cooperate in other aspects first, you say!"
James was simply speechless, he didn't expect Yao Yi to have such a request.
James looked a little angry and said, "Duke Yao, do you think it's possible, such a thing is undoubtedly split from the Malaysia government into two states!"
Yao Yi said: "Hehe, I am not unaware of the situation in Malaysia, these two states enjoy a high degree of autonomy, except for the absence of the right to foreign 'exchange', almost all the privileges I just mentioned, and the right to foreign 'exchange' I just mentioned is essentially the right of foreign affairs, and can handle part of the foreign 'exchange' affairs alone, in general, as a part of Malaysia, this is not to separate the territory, and I have never thought of making the territory independent, but I do not want to be affected by the political fǔ of Malaysia." It's just a nuisance, I can develop this land according to my will, but now, this matter has not been negotiated, the Malayian government has begun to point fingers, ready to interfere, and in the future, if we have absolute power, after tens of billions of dollars of investment are smashed, we will be disturbed by the Malayian government, and in the end there will be no return, I will not do this kind of thing, I will not be so stupid!"
After Yao Yi's words came out, Prince James was both happy and worried, he was happy that Yao Yi inadvertently said the amount of money he would invest in developing this place, he was worried that in the near future, Yao Yi would control this place strongly, and at that time, he James could only follow Yao Yi's ass and eat some scraps.
James said: "Duke Yao, you just said that tens of billions of dollars of investment, is this true?"
Yao Yi said: "Hehe, I was just making an analogy just now, of course, if I have absolute control, the investment of tens of billions of dollars should be a small amount, I think there will be a larger scale of investment, so to speak, as long as there is a place where I am, that place will be a place where gold and silver can be produced,"
James said: "With your words, I will go and talk to the Malaysian politician and try our luck, I hope our luck is a little better, but before leaving, I would like to discuss some details with you, if you get this land, those factories will be built here,"
Yao Yi said: "Needless to say, I will build the projects we cooperate on that land, and I will not be stupid to build on other people's land,"
James smiled when he heard it, and said: "Now I understand, you choose some people, go with me, when the time comes, the results of their negotiations will be passed on to you in time, and we will also be conducive to further communication!"
Yao Yi said: "Actually, don't be reluctant to do this, you can do it if you can, forget it if you can't do it, I still have a backup plan without this place!"
After James heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yao Yi to have a backup plan, but he didn't know what this backup plan was.
When he knew Yao Yi's backup plan, he had secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must complete this matter, because after completing this matter, he would be able to start his dream of a business empire step by step, and he would follow the path of his ancestors and reproduce the glorious business empire of their British Empire.
James thinks so, but whether James's dream can become a reality, or whether James's dream is Yao Yi's dream or his James's dream, it all depends on the development of things.
Yao Yi's dream is actually the dream of making money and picking up girls, and there are no big ambitions, to a certain extent, Yao Yi's business skills are related to building a business platform, a platform that can enable aspiring talents to realize their dreams, through this skill, when others realize his dreams, Yao Yi's dream is also realized, at that time, more beautiful women' and wealth will pour into Yao Yi's arms, all this is just the beginning,
