Chapter 1082: Build a port
Yang Limin said with a smile: "What I said is just to give you some inspiration." If Your Excellency the President and the Ministers, Mr. Ministers, feel that such a business can be done, I am willing to purchase 100 dinghys and provide them to you on a charter basis, and I will not participate in the specific business. What I want to do here is a relatively big business. ”
"What kind of business?" several government officials asked at the same time, their emotions completely aroused by Yang Limin's idea, and they were eager to know what good business this Chinese businessman with the ability to turn stones into gold had in mind.
Yang Limin said: "Selling goods at sea is just a small business after all, and I don't like it." If passing merchant ships could stop at Gnu Island and allow the crews to rest and spend money on shore, the turnover would be considerable. ”
"It's unrealistic. "We don't have a dock on Gnu Island that can accommodate big ships, and it's impossible for ocean-going freighters to dock at us." ”
"You should say that you didn't have such a dock 'in the past', and since we came here, you will have such a dock. ”
Yang Limin said with a smile, "Let me introduce to you, this Mr. Lin Dong is an expert in port construction. He had previously studied the information on Gnu Island and believed that there was an excellent port on Harros Island, where we are now, and as long as it was slightly renovated and a few deep-water wharves were built, there would be no problem in docking large cargo ships of more than 50,000 tons. ”
"Do you want to invest in the construction of a port on Gnu Island?" Kopetni was completely stunned, this was a big deal he couldn't even dream of.
Kopetni did not think of building a large port on Gnu Island, and for this reason, he also asked people to ask the Indian port construction company for the price. However, after inquiring about the price, he no longer thinks about this matter, because for a so-so port, the investment is also calculated in billions. Even if he dug up all the guano on the entire Ganu Island and sold it, he would be able to scrape together the money to purchase two large gantry cranes, which is really not something that a poor country can afford.
However, this one from
Businessmen from China are full of confidence that they want to build a big port on Ganu Island, and one mouth is a wharf that can dock 50,000-ton giant ships, even if the land acquisition cost of Ganu Island is cheap, it will be at least one or two hundred million dollars to build this port. Spending so much money to build a port just to sell fresh vegetables to passing freighters?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, I didn't understand what you meant, you mean, are you going to invest in building a port with us?" asked Coppetney, stammering.
His heart can be described as turbulent, suffering from gains and losses. On the one hand, he believed that it was impossible for Yang Limin to invest in the construction of a port here, and the purpose of saying this was only to negotiate some conditions, and on the other hand, he hoped that this was true. If Yang Limin can indeed invest 200 million US dollars to build a deep-water port on Gnu Island, then the face of the whole country will be turned upside down, and it is possible that the economy will even double several times in a few years, after all, this is only a small country with a population of more than 100,000, and a big project is enough to lift the people of the whole country out of poverty.
Yang Limin naturally knew what kind of attraction this big pie would have to Kopetni, he did not rush to show his thoughts, but said lightly: "We will continue to inspect Gnu Island, if the conditions are suitable, I think, an investment of one or two hundred million US dollars, for our Aimin Light Industry, is not a big deal." By the way, I personally like the scenery very much, and if His Excellency the President allows it, I would like to be able to buy a small plot of land here and build a private villa. ”
"We were very welcome. "If Mr. Yang is interested, even if you want to buy a small island, you can do it." ”
The host and the guest completed the first negotiation in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. Kopetni told the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to receive Yang Limin and his entourage well, and the foreign minister personally went out to settle Yang Limin and others in a so-called star-rated hotel. This hotel is called a star because it is so small, there are five or six rooms in total, and the facilities are a mess.
It is no wonder that there are rare days in the past ten years that outsiders visit Gnu Island, and the hotel is completely decorated in the local area.
In the days that followed, Muck personally led several
people, accompanied Yang Limin and his entourage to inspect several large islands on Gnu Island. After comparison, Lin Dong believes that the best port area is still a bay located on Harros Island in the original photo. On either side of the bay, there are two small hills that are not too high, which are used just for the construction of watchtowers and, if necessary, for the erection of coastal artillery.
On the shore of the bay, there is a large open area suitable for the construction of open-air freight yards and warehouses. Some crops are planted on this open field, but Mr. Muck said that if Mr. Yang wanted to build a port here, the land could be requisitioned for a small amount of compensation.
"Mr. Yang, do you really want to build a large wharf on Gnu Island?" After wandering around for a few days, Muk finally couldn't help it, and when there was no one around, he quietly asked Yang Limin.
"Of course it's true, otherwise why am I delaying so much time here? Do you think my time is not valuable?" Yang Limin said.
"Uh......" Muck didn't know what to say.
From the perspective of common sense, he didn't believe that Yang Limin would really build a port here, he preferred to believe that Yang Limin was a transnational liar, and he wanted to deceive some benefits from Gnu Island by engaging in such a famous hall. But in the past few days, he found that Yang Limin and his entourage paid for their own meals even if they ate, and they had no intention of pulling any oil and water from Genu Island at all. Besides, a country that is so poor that there is only guano left, what cheap can be made by others?
"I just don't understand, you invest a hundred million or two dollars to build a port like this, how do you want to recoup that investment?" Muck asked.
Yang Limin smiled: "Of course there will be a return on investment, don't look at the fact that Gnu Island is very poor now, once the port is built, the economy here will develop." With the port, you can develop entrepot trade, you can also engage in tourism, and the beaches here are very good, and you can do it completely. ”
"Well, Minister Muck, you don't have to worry about how we recoup our investment. We have now chosen a location, and if possible, we want to lease this bay, plus 2 square kilometers of land around the bay, and the lease period will be 99 years according to international practice. Yang Limin said.
