Chapter 1083: See you in the dagger

Muck asked, "Are you leasing this land to build a port?"

"Exactly. Yang Limin said.

"So, if the port is built, who will own the proceeds from the port?" asked Muk.

Yang Limin said with a smile: "The port is our industry, and the direct income generated is, of course, owned by us, which is also the main source of investment that we use to recover our investment." However, when we operate, we will pay taxes according to the regulations, and I think this tax should be very generous.

In addition, if an ocean-going freighter docks here, the crew will disembark to rest, which will inevitably bring a great boost to the local tourism service industry on Gnu Island, and we will not interfere with this part of the income. ”

"That's wonderful!" said Muck.

Yang Limin's request was quickly brought to the president's office meeting for discussion, and then became the subject of debate in Congress. In addition to the president, there are also two houses of the House of Representatives, although each house is a dozen people, but the debate is also extremely serious.

Kopetni himself was in favor of Yang Limin's request, and as president, he knew too well what such an investment meant for the country. It can be said that apart from Yang Limin, there is absolutely no second person in this world who is willing to invest in Gnu Island, let alone such a large investment.

The discussion in the House of Representatives and the Senate also showed a one-sided position, although some people raised the question of whether it was possible to raise the price of the leased land or add some more binding clauses, but such a suggestion was quickly rejected by Mucker and others.

Just kidding, does Gnu Island have the strength to bargain with investors? An investment of $200 million is equivalent to the total foreign exchange earnings of Gnu Island for 150 years.

Gnu Island itself is not very big, and it is impossible for a few Chinese to patrol here without attracting everyone's attention. As the congressional defense began, the media got the news. The reporters surrounded the hotel where Yang Limin and the others were staying, and pestered Yang Limin and others every day to ask long and short questions. The newspapers began to analyze at length the impact of this big investment on Gnu Island

Mainstream public opinion unanimously believes that this is a major opportunity for Gnu Island.

"Mr. Yang, I am very honored to inform you that your application for leasing the bay and the land on the shore submitted by your Aimin Light Industry has been approved by the President and Congress, and we can officially sign the contract. The cost of the lease is $300,000 per year, and for the first time it is necessary to pay a one-time fee for 10 years. Mu Ke came to the hotel where Yang Limin and the others were staying, and informed them of the good news.

"Thank you very much, we will pay for it quickly. Yang Limin replied.

"Our requirement for your company's operation on the leased land is that it does not violate the laws of our country. Other than that, we don't interfere in other things. Muck continued.

Yang Limin seemed to ask casually: "So, what behaviors are considered to be violations of the laws of your country?"

"For example, engaging in drug trade, sex trafficking, arms trafficking, and so on are all prohibited by our laws. ”

"We have no interest in these businesses. Yang Limin said, "By the way, do you have any specific regulations for the ships docked in our port?"

"Hmm......" Muk scratched his head and began to think, there was no big port on Gnu Island before, so naturally he would not think about such a thing. Now, Yang Limin is going to build a big port, so what kind of ship can dock and what kind of ship can't?

"I don't think a ship carrying dangerous goods would be able to dock here. Muck thought about it for a long time, and only came up with such a one.

"What if it's a warship?" Yang Limin looked at the dagger and began to get straight to the point. If you build a port and people say that according to the laws of your country, foreign warships cannot dock, isn't that a waste of effort?

"Warship?" Muck was stunned, looking at Yang Limin's meaningful eyes, he suddenly understood that the interest of these Chinese businessmen was not at all the economic benefits of the port, their real purpose was to establish a military base on Gnu Island.

What a circle!, Muck sighed inwardly, putting us all in it

"You mean, the Chinese are trying to be in me

Let's build a military base here?" said Murk, shocked.

Kopetni was also taken aback when he heard the news that Muck had brought back.

However, when he thought about it, he was down-to-earth. Before he got the news, he had never figured out the reason why the Chinese were investing here, and he always felt that there was some big conspiracy. Now that the mystery has been revealed, at least he no longer has the fear of being secretly calculated.

That's the only reason that can explain the purpose of their investment. "These days, my subordinates and I have done an analysis of the return on their investment, and we can't calculate the likelihood that they will recoup their investment." If their original purpose was simply to turn the port area into a supply base for their navy's warships, then the value of this investment is understandable. In order to build an overseas military base, a country as large as China would invest $200 million. ”

"So, what do you think about this?" asked Kopetni to a room full of high-ranking government officials.

"I don't think that's acceptable. Agriculture Minister Terek was the first to speak, "This Chinese is really dishonest." Since what he wants to build is a military port, why didn't he make it clear to us from the beginning? If we had known that he was going to build a military port, we would not have negotiated with him at all. ”

"Lake, I don't agree with you. We don't care if he builds a military port or a civilian port, as long as he can pay us rent and create jobs for us, what reason do we have to turn them down?" Muck retorted.

Terek said: "The Chinese build a military base with us. It is not conducive to the national defense and security of our country. If they want to attack us......"

Kopetni looked at Lake with a helpless gaze and said, "Mr. Lake, do you think that if China wants to attack us, it needs to build a base in advance?"

Gnu Island is just too small. So there was no Ministry of Defense at all, and Kopetni, in the capacity of president, directly served as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and was the only person in the entire country who had a say in military issues. In his opinion, Terek's words are simply whimsical, China and Ganu Island are not at the same level at all, if people want to be unfavorable to you, do you need to go around so many corners?
