Chapter 473: Buying Sakhalin Island (Part I)

After the Russian State Duma approved the sale of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands by the Russian government, the Russian government and SS Financial Holding immediately sat down at the negotiating table, and both sides were fully prepared for this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

There is no doubt that both Su Chenyu and Yeltsin are quite anxious about this matter, and they both hope that this matter will be settled as soon as possible, so that it will be beneficial to everyone -- Yeltsin and the Russian government have obtained the dollar funds that they urgently need, and Su Chenyu will obtain the coveted Sakhalin Island and become a veritable "island owner."

In fact, the negotiation between the Russian government and SS Financial Holding is quite simple, because before them, the respective big bosses of the two sides must first exchange opinions privately, first give the framework system in the general direction, and then they only need to discuss the details.

There are two main parts of the territory that Russia has sold to Su Chenyu's SS Financial Holdings, one is the "big head" -- Sakhalin Island, and the other part is the "extra head" -- the Kuril Islands.

Among them, Sakhalin Island is what we call Sakhalin Island, located to the east of the Heilongjiang estuary, with an area of about 76,400 square kilometers, which is larger than the area of Wanwan Island and Hainan Island combined, and was once the largest island in China.

Compared to the huge size of Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands are much smaller, with a total area of only about 15,600 square kilometers. However, despite the small size of the Kuril Islands, the strategic position of this guy is quite important - it is a natural barrier in the southeastern part of the Sea of Okhotsk, guarding the sea passage between the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, there are still Russian naval bases on this island, but with the end of the Cold War, Russia's national power continues to weaken, and it has been closed one after another.

However, Su Chenyu's land deal with the Russian government has eliminated all the islands where the naval base was built, so only part of the South Kuril Islands has been added to the deal as an addition - about 10,000 square kilometers.

In fact, after knowing that there is a Russian naval base on the Kuril Islands, Su Chenyu didn't want to take this hot potato, but it was really difficult for Russia to be gracious. Ma Dan, Yeltsin and Russia are estimated to be crazy poor, and they are really "forced" Su Chenyu to buy it - especially the South Kuril Islands, which have territorial disputes with devils, and they have to be "packaged" to Su Chenyu half-sold and half-sent.

Originally, Su Chenyu, as a businessman and a gentleman, although he was a very powerful businessman and gentleman, was really not qualified to intervene in this kind of territorial dispute between countries - this is completely death. However, after knowing that this South Kuril Islands was the "Four Northern Islands" that would cure the devils to death in the future, Su Chenyu suddenly became interested.

Paralyzed, thinking that in the future, the devil would dare to fish on my fishing island in Great China, it was simply that my uncle couldn't bear it and my aunt couldn't bear it. Therefore, Su Chenyu decisively took over the South Kuril Islands, and in the future, only the devils dared to make trouble in the East China Sea of Diaoyu Island, and Su Chenyu could drag China and Russia to make trouble in the "four northern islands" in the mouth of the devils -- and not to fight him to death.

On a night when the moon was dark and the wind was high, Yeltsin's "car" slowly drove into Su Chenyu's manor again, and this time he came to "bargain" with Su Dashao. After Su Chenyu had dinner with Yeltsin, he went into the study and started a war of "bargaining".

"Sue, now we can talk about the specifics of this deal, right?" Yeltsin said with a smile on his face as he held the wine, "especially in terms of price, you know." ā€

Indeed, Yeltsin is now happy and leisurely, after all, a large sum of dollars will soon come in, which can greatly alleviate the current bad situation in Russia. As for what to do with the territory that Russia has lost? Hehe, whatever, the richest thing in Russia now is the territory, but this thing cannot be eaten or spent as money. What's more, in this territorial deal, although Russia will lose Sakhalin and part of the Kuril Islands, at least nominally sovereignty still belongs to Russia - this is enough, as long as it has face.

Looking at Yeltsin with a smile on his face, Su Chenyu shook the wine glass in his hand, smiled, and then said, "Boris, let's talk about the price you want first?"

Taking a sip of red wine in his glass, Yeltsin faintly said a number: "50 billion!"

Lying in a groove, paralyzed, hearing this number, Su Chenyu almost exploded, so he put down the wine glass, raised his voice an octave, and said: "Boris, have you made a mistake? 50 billion? Are you sure? I can't come up with such a large sum of money. ā€

Nima, what is the concept of 50 billion, according to the US imperialists' annual over-issuance of a large number of banknotes, coupled with the impact of inflation, this purchasing power is about equivalent to nearly a trillion dollars in later generations - can you believe it?

Of course, if it is a territorial transaction between two countries, and such a large piece of land, the price is really not high, even if it is hundreds of billions or trillions, it is not much, after all, the dollar can still be earned without this thing, and the territory thing is real.

However, Su Chenyu is not a national subject after all, although he very much wants to eat Sakhalin Island and become the "island owner", but he will not be slaughtered by Yeltsin and Russia so ruthlessly. Besides, at that time, Russia took the initiative to find him, and it was not he Su Chenyu who took the initiative to buy Sakhalin, so it would be good if Lao Tzu didn't kill them, and he dared to slaughter Lao Tzu -- it's just unreasonable.

Therefore, even if Su Chenyu can easily afford this huge amount of 50 billion US dollars, he will definitely not be the one who is wronged.

Yeltsin was not affected by Su Chenyu's raised voice at all, and continued to say calmly: "50 billion is not much, Su, you must know that this is nearly 85,000 square kilometers of land, that is, more than 20 million acres." That's only $2,500 per acre, and you're just picking up a bargain. ā€

"Hehe!" Su Chenyu smiled and said, "Boris, let's not talk about anything else, I can buy land in the United States for $2,500 a year, and it's quite fertile land." Let's take a look at how much livable land there are in these more than 20 million acres, it is estimated that there is not even 10 million, no, no, no, only a few million. Do you think the price is really right?"

Well, Yeltsin naturally knew that what Su Chenyu said was also the truth, so he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but this is not the time to be embarrassed, this is a matter of interest for every dollar.

So, Yeltsin said without changing his face: "Sue, you are exaggerating too much. Besides, there is still coal and oil on Sakhalin, and you say it's not all money......"

Before Yeltsin finished speaking, Su Chenyu directly forcibly interrupted, and then said......
