Chapter 396: In a word

"Mr. Makoru, I will not accept your proposal, and I believe that no businessman in his right mind will accept such a plan." With Hou Wenjun and Kagassi's 'grudge and grudge', the negotiation method that was still on the tip of the needle just now came to an end, and the two sides returned to the basis of 'friendly' negotiations.

Looking at Hou Wenjun with a kind smile on his face, Makolu, an old Arab man in his seventies, also showed a kind face and said, "The Hou Group managed by Mr. Hou is a world-class large company, and I believe that Mr. Hou's insight must be much better than those of us who can only nest in Benghazi." Since Mr. Hou already has a manuscript, he might as well spread it out and talk about it, so that everyone can discuss it together. ”

Regarding Ma Kelu's humble attitude, Hou Wenjun nodded appreciatively and said, "Since Mr. Ma Kelu has spoken, Ah Jun will not hide it." My opinion is to collect taxes! The one-time sponsorship fee is too violent and arbitrary, and even if Mr. Kazai agrees to others to come to Benghazi Oilfield to collect oil directly, I am afraid that no one will really dare to come. One of the most important things to care about in doing business is whether the local political ecosystem is stable, and long-term and stable tax revenue is the most powerful proof of this. Of course, the amount of tax should also be within a reasonable range. ”

Hou Wenjun expounded his plan endlessly, while carefully observing the faces of the seven tribal leaders seated. Seeing everyone's expressions gradually becoming clear as he elaborated on his plan, Hou Wenjun knew that there was a door. At least everyone was interested in his plan, so Hou Wenjun threw out the last bet in his hand.

"Why is the CIA operating in Libya?" Hou Wenjun's simple question made the tribal leaders sitting around him agitated.

Hinting that the CIA will stage a coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow the Cazafee regime? Or will the CIA intervene directly in the deal and overthrow the sheikhs if they don't agree to his terms? Don't forget that this deal is one of the largest arms deals in the United States in recent times, will the Americans stand idly by?

Whether it is a temptation or a threat, different people have different interpretations, but no matter which side they stand on, as tribal chiefs, they have to pay attention to Hou Wenjun's tax proposal.

With Hou Wenjun's words, Ma Kelu, whose face became more serious, first nodded his head faintly, suggesting that he agreed with what Hou Wenjun said. He made eye contact with the other six chiefs present one by one, after all, Hou Wenjun's plan was completely out of the scope of the plan they had formulated in advance, and even the strongest Makolu had to confirm the attitudes of the other tribal chiefs one by one.

"Then with Mr. Hou's plan, how much is the appropriate amount of tax?" Makolu's words also represent a compromise for the Eastern Tribal Alliance, which changed from a one-time gulp to a long-term plan.

Convincing others with force and money has always been Hou Wenjun's strength, and Hou Wenjun knows that he must show his persuasiveness at this time.

"7.8%, I think it should be a reasonable number, and it is also the highest among the oil transportation taxes in the world. I believe that the situation will change in the future, and you will strongly urge me to lower this number. "Ten billion to pay 780 million in transportation tax, Hou Wenjun's words are indeed very convincing.

This amount is also within the acceptable range of the Eastern Tribal Alliance, the black 1 overlord in Southeast Asia is really not so easy to blackmail, and the 2,000 troops stationed in Libya are not ornaments, and it is not beneficial for anyone to really break up.

After pondering for nearly three minutes, Ma Kelu glanced around at the other tribal leaders again before Shi Shiran nodded and said, "We agreed to your request in principle, but in terms of tax rates, I think we still have to discuss it." ”

Ma Kelu's words undoubtedly mean that the rest of the time is the time to rip off, of course, if people want more points, he will earn less points, and the battle between the two sides for an inch of land has officially begun.

"Needless to say, 12 percent is the most powerful force in the Benghazi oil field area, and 7 percent is a humiliation for our eastern tribal alliance." An enraged Kagazi shouted loudly as his mouth frothed.

As soon as Kagasi's words fell, Hou Wenjun, who was also red-faced, jumped out and retorted loudly, "This is already the highest in the world, 12% you might as well be a robber." 7.8% more than a point! ”

In a situation where their own interests were at stake, the seven leaders of the Eastern Tribal Alliance began to join forces to encircle and suppress Hou Wenjunlai. In fact, the gap between the two sides is not too big. Compared with the big framework of tens of billions of dollars, the difference of three and five billion dollars is not a large amount. But who wants to give up their interests for no reason?

Looking at the noisy Hou Wenjun and the tribal leader in the house, Miller, the CIA Libyan director who has been in a state of soy sauce since he got off the plane, suddenly came up with a very bold idea.

"Five percent!" Miller's not-so-high voice suddenly reached the ears of the noisy crowd. Looking at the tribal leaders who were glaring at him, Miller shook his head disdainfully and said, "Five percent, this is the CIA's decision!" The CIA will allocate 3 percent of the tax-equivalent arms to balance it, and don't forget that you are about to get a 10 billion dollar worth of arms for the card and miscellaneous expenses, and if you don't want to be exterminated, it is better to follow our CIA plan. ”

If the card and miscellaneous expenses get this 10 billion worth of arms, the combat strength of its army will inevitably increase greatly. As a counterbalance, the CIA had to allocate some arms to the rebels. Miller's idea is very simple, he used the CIA's arms to help Hou Wenjun save 300 million US dollars, how can he Hou Wenjun have to compensate himself for one or two, besides, he doesn't want much, he can be satisfied with one or two million US dollars.

Miller's words extinguished the atmosphere in the room, and so it was. Ma Kelu and the others wanted to take money in order to buy more arms to arm their tribe, so they would blackmail Hou Wenjun hard. In Libya, their strength is stronger than Hou Wenjun, so they can blackmail Hou Wenjun all over the sky. In the same way, without the help of the CIA, the people of the Eastern Tribal Alliance must be at a disadvantage in the face of the government forces of the card and miscellaneous fees, and it is reasonable for Miller, as the representative of the CIA, to blackmail them.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and the Eastern Tribal Alliance, which is also in a weak position in the CIA, can only pinch their noses and endure this breath.

At this point, Miller, who seems to be an idler and seems to be playing soy sauce, has decided Hou Wenjun's negotiations with the Eastern Tribal Alliance, and there is no way to let anyone represent the CIA, the United States, which is the world's policeman?

On the way back to Benghazi Airport by car, Hou Wenjun looked at the head of the CIA in Libya who was suddenly so enthusiastic that he felt scared, Hou Wenjun had to ask cautiously, "Mr. Miller, I am very grateful for your righteous words just now, you and I will be friends in the future, and if you have anything to say between friends, you might as well say it directly." ”

Blatant solicitation of bribes? Besides, it's a huge amount of tens of millions of dollars, how can you let Miller say it directly. Hearing Hou Wenjun's question, Miller could only hint stubbornly, "Recently, the funds of the General Administration have been delayed again, and I don't know what those fat pigs in Washington are doing?" ”

Hou Wenjun, who was talented in this kind of thing, instantly understood Miller's words, but what made him difficult was how much he should give this guy? 100 million or 200 million? If you really want to win this guy, it will be greatly beneficial for you to control the Benghazi oil field in the future. (To be continued.) )
