Volume 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 Cooperation (Bao 3)

After eating the breakfast made by Li Sheng, the temperature outside was already rising. But the temperature will not have much impact on Li Sheng www.biquge.info and Ali and Hassan have experienced high temperatures of more than 40 degrees for I don't know how many times. This temperature is very cool weather for them. It's just that it's relatively humid, which makes these two princes who came to the desert area a little unaccustomed.

On this day, however, Hassan was very interested in proposing to fish.

These wooden houses already had the tools for these leisure activities, and Li Sheng found a few fishing rods and some bait.

Hassan is obviously a novice angler, but even so, he still catches a lot of fish.

He put a one-and-a-half-foot-long peacock moon into the net pocket in the water, and said with a smile: "Fishing here is very satisfying." I feel like a master angler. ”

Li Sheng also mentioned a guppy fish, and when he heard this, he also smiled and said: "There are a lot of fish here, and food is actually more scarce in the forest, so as long as these fish come across something that can be eaten, they will rush to devour it." ”

In fact, they only caught seven or eight fish in such an hour, which is already a very poor result. He had seen some tourists with a little fishing level holding a canoe and catching 20 fish in less than an hour with a fishing rod on the lake, the largest of which was a arapaima in more than 30 catties.

The three of them could fish for more than an hour, maybe not as much as the man who fished alone.

Hassan said with some emotion: "The world is really very unfair, there is so much water here, but in the Middle East, most of the land is desert. ”

Li Sheng couldn't help but smile and said: "But there are also many people who are jealous of you, and any pit dug underground can seep oil." ”

Alihaha laughed and said, "That's an exaggeration. ”

Hassan also smiled, but said, "That is indeed the treasure that Allah has given us." But that is also the root cause of the war in the Middle East. ”

Li Sheng regretted talking about this topic a little. The difference in ideology is not just about society and capital, but also about religion.

In fact, during his study of the world's oil exporting countries, he found that among the Arab countries with a large amount of oil resources, except for the monarchy, none of them were treated well by the United States. Some have been eliminated by the United States or his thugs, and one has been isolated by the entire Arab world.

And the United States is indeed running rampant in the world in the name of democracy. The First World War was a war between two ideologies – capitalism and feudal monarchs. World War II was also a war between dictatorship and democracy. But now the United States prefers the Middle Eastern countries to pursue absolute monarchies.

That's a very strange phenomenon.

But at the end of the day, that's because of absolute monarchies, where oil flows more easily into Americans' pockets.

Therefore, the root cause of the endless wars in Arab countries is still oil.

Although he didn't want to continue this topic, thinking of oil, Li Sheng couldn't help but say tentatively: "Don't you think that oil is your most powerful weapon?"

"That is, indeed. But this weapon is not something we can wield alone. Hassan said lightly.

Ali also said: "Oil is a good thing, but we want to get rid of excessive dependence on oil. ”

Li Sheng seemed to be biased when he heard the topic, and he felt that Ali might be going to talk to him about Silent Farm next. "Maybe other countries are less dependent on your oil, and the situation will be a little bit better," he said with a smile. ”

Hassan smiled and said, "Actually, we are also very conflicted. I hope that other countries will buy our oil at a high price, but I also hope that other countries will not always keep an eye on us. ”

Ali suddenly asked, "Li, when do you plan to close the position this time?"

Li Sheng glanced at him, thought for a while, and said, "Close the position when the price is close to one hundred and thirty." ”

Ali smiled and said, "I'm going to be at that price too." And that's the most suitable. ”

Li Sheng asked why. Ali digressed and said, "I noticed that the town you are going to build is already under construction. I don't think you just want to build a small town. ”

Li Sheng blinked and said, "For the time being, there is only this plan. ”

Hassan and Ali looked at each other and said with a smile, "Lee, you know that we have a lot of money in our hands and are looking for investment. I heard Ali say that Silent Farm is your home, and I shouldn't ask for a stake anymore. But when I heard about your plans to build a city, I thought we might have some cooperation. ”

Li Sheng heard that he was not planning a stake in Silent Farm, but he was willing to listen to his idea of cooperation: "What kind of cooperation?"

"The Amazon plain is a huge treasure trove of the richest flora and fauna in the world. I think it would be a good idea to build a base here to exploit the biological resources of the Amazon jungle. ”

"You're going to develop the Amazon Plains? That's not going to be easy. Environmentalists alone can make you tired. Li Sheng was not optimistic about his plan. "And that's not in line with the wishes of European and American countries. ”

Ali then said, "We are not going to have the idea of beating the timber of the forest. In fact, we intend to take advantage of the abundant pharmaceutical resources in the forests. There are also various biological resources. Our plan is to build a processing base for Amazon rainforest products. ”

Only then did Li Sheng understand what they meant, but he couldn't figure out where he needed to be used in this plan.

"That's a great idea, but why did you choose to work with me?"

"Because we know that Silent Farm has a lot of products, such as the kind of bamboo that produces sugar, and there are also large fields of Brazilian chestnuts. ”

"You want to process those two things?"

Li Sheng didn't expect them to be staring at that thing.

"And the coffee from the Silent Farm. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Those three products can be considered for processing." But I'm not sure I'll leave it all to you yet. ”

He thought about it for a moment now, and felt that if those three projects were also processed by farms, the town of Sipalu would probably be overwhelmed, and the population would grow much faster than he had planned. Now that Ali and Hassan are going to do this, it's not necessarily a bad thing for Silent Ranch.

It's just that he doesn't know if Chen Bo has any plans for these things. So he can't say dead now.

Hassan listened to him with some reservations, but still felt that the trip was worth it. The 300 square kilometers of Brazilian chestnuts and hundreds of square kilometers of coffee alone could lay a good foundation for his plan. Ali also said that there is a kind of bamboo that can produce sugar, and if that were the case, he could build an industrial base in Brazil. It is also possible for the natives of the Amazon to collect the various products of the forest. That should be a good investment.

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "But where are you going to implement your plan?"

Ali said: "Obidus. It is the closest settlement to Silent Farm and is close to the golden waterway of the Amazon River. ”

When Li Sheng heard that they were planning to choose there, his heart moved and said, "Perhaps, we can indeed expand the scope of cooperation." For example, the construction of a port in Obidos and the land transport between Obidos and the town of Sipalu. ”

This plan has long been formed in his heart, but it is not easy for him to implement this plan under all the pressure. But if there is this plan for theirs. The pressure on environmental protection seems to have eased a lot.

According to what Ali and Hassan just said, they did not intend to develop the forest, but to have people collect all kinds of medicinal raw materials or all kinds of wild resources in the forest. If this plan is strictly implemented, it will not only benefit from the support of the Amazon basin, but will also cause little damage to the environment. If implemented, the economy here can be sustained. There should be no problem with such a project, which proposes to build a port and a road.

When Hassan heard his idea, he thought for a moment and said, "If our plan is to be carried out smoothly, it is necessary to build a road to the Silent Farm." In addition, the construction of a port is also a must. ”

For short-distance transportation, the land transportation efficiency of road is much greater than that of river transportation. And if they really want to build a production base in Obidos, there must be a port for the goods they produce to be shipped out. Before, he was just thinking about building a simple port, but now that he thinks about it, if Silent Farm really reaches its limit, tens of millions of tons of things will have to be transported by water every year.

For example, for those pastures, according to Ali's estimates, the Silent Farm can harvest at least 60 million tons of dry pasture. In addition, there are many other bulk agricultural products that need to be transported by water. If most of it goes through the new docks they built, that's a good business.

"But if you're interested, maybe we can work together. That would make it easier for the Brazilian government to approve the plan. ”

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Actually, I originally had that plan, but it was a little difficult for me to complete it alone." ”

In fact, he had more thoughts in his mind. One of them is about oil production. But he wasn't going to say it yet.

Ali laughs: "Hassan's team is in communication with the Brazilian government, but I don't think they will turn down an investment of more than 10 billion dollars." ”

Li Sheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, an unknown project can invest tens of billions of dollars. I have to say that the prince of the Middle East is really wealthy.

The three of them were talking while fishing, although it was not a negotiation, but in fact, they were also improving the framework of cooperation little by little.

The investment of both parties and the rights and interests of both parties in this cooperation were all covered in their conversations. Although these are not the final results, they are actually testing the other party's bottom line.

After a day of negotiations, they preliminarily agreed that Li Sheng would invest 30% of the entire project, accounting for 30% of the equity, while Ali would invest 20%, and the rest would be invested by the Qatar Real Asset Management Commission.

However, in the future, Li Sheng can send people to participate in the management of the project. In particular, the right to operate terminals that can have corresponding capacity for ports. (To be continued.) )
