Chapter 329 Lease of Land

Well. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After listening to Akmin's explanation, Tang Bao nodded in understanding. Tens of thousands of hectares of wasteland, it is not a problem for him to insist on taking it down, but millions of hectares of wasteland is really not easy to swallow in one go. If Akmin dares to take the risk and agree, he will have to be scolded as a traitor!

But.

Since Tang Bao knew that the area of wasteland there was as high as millions of hectares, even if he could not collect all of them, it would not be possible to satisfy 10,000 hectares.

"I think the conditions must be very harsh. To go there to engage in agricultural development, I first had to build roads and electricity, almost from scratch, and the cost was not small. 10,000 hectares of mountain forest wasteland seems huge, but it is not worth the investment in the early stage! ”

After a moment of silence, Tang Bao continued, "If I lease 100,000 hectares of mountain forest wasteland, I can make an experimental investment. ”

"Yes."

Akeming weighed it in his heart and readily agreed, the reason is very simple, those wastelands have been idle for decades, and no one cares about them at all, and it is rare for Tang Bao to be interested.

Belch.

Tang Bao was a little surprised by Akmin's decisiveness, and thought that the other party would bargain and reduce the area of the leased land by half. He suddenly realized that his conditions were far from touching Akemin's bottom line, otherwise the other party would not have agreed so happily.

Of course.

Tang Bao did not regret that he wanted less, and he was very satisfied with 100,000 hectares of mountain forest wasteland.

"Huh. The development cycle of mountain forest wasteland is long, the investment is huge, and the lease period is too short......" Tang Bao smiled and looked at Akming Dao.

"Fifty years!"

"Hey. Governor Ackmin, do you think a fifty-year lease would attract investors? If the circuit is electrified, it is barely possible. But for projects that have to build their own infrastructure such as water and electricity, this lease term is a bit harsh. I think 100 years is the most appropriate! Tang Bao said with a smile.

Hear the words.

Ackmin's head shook like a rattle, a 100-year lease was too long and sensitive, and international inequality would arise.

Tang Bao and Akemin have their own angles to consider on this issue. Both sides are arguing on the basis of reason, and you come and go in a game.

At last.

Tang Bao and Akemin each took a step back before they reluctantly reached a consensus and set the lease term at 70 years. From now, the lease lasts until 2060.

"What about the price?"

Tang Bao asked.

"Well...... "Well, there is a lot of investment in infrastructure construction in the early stage, and the state government of São Paulo can't help it, so the rent for the first ten years will be waived. After that, the rent is assessed and paid every five years, fluctuating according to the market price. ”

Hey.

Tang Bao laughed silently, this Akmin is really treacherous and cunning. Now it's a wilderness, it's worth a fart of money, and it's not much rent for ten years. Ten years later, when the infrastructure built by Tang Bao is perfected, the value of it will be truly reflected, and if it is calculated according to the market price, I am afraid that the rent will be expensive.

"Huh. Governor Ackmin, it seems that you did not negotiate this business with sincerity, and if that is the case, we will stop here. ”

"Mr. Tang, if you have any objections, you can mention them." Akmin said with a smile.

"I don't think it's appropriate for the rent to fluctuate according to the market price. According to this algorithm, the more I invest in construction in the future, the greater the market value, and the more rent I will pay. Do you think this makes sense? May I consider this to be an attempt by the São Paulo government to suppress foreign investment? Tang Bao asked rhetorically one after another.

Akmin was momentarily stunned.

If you think about it, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to float the rent according to the market price. However, he was not willing to fix the rent directly.

No way.

Now that mountain forest wasteland, even the price of a cabbage is not as good. 100,000 hectares of land, the annual rent is probably not worth even $10,000.

From the rent plan proposed by Akemin, Tang Bao could also see the other party's thoughts, so he said, "What is the value of those mountains and forests wasteland, I think Governor Akmin knows it." It's not wise for you to focus on the value of the future before you have developed it now. ”

"Hmm. In my country, local governments are attracting investment, and in order to attract investors, they not only offer various tax incentives, but also provide cheap land and even direct gifts. Don't they know that these assets will increase rapidly in the future, of course they do, but they don't hesitate to give them away. Because they know better that they get more in return for paying for this cheap land! Foreign businessmen invest in production on a piece of cheap land, driving the surrounding economy, and the value of nearby land will expand rapidly. ”

"In the same way, my big investment in the development of these 100,000 hectares of land will also lead to an increase in the value of the surrounding land. In the end, it's São Paulo who benefits! Tang Bao said.

"Hmm."

Akmin nodded in agreement, he couldn't deny it. After Tang Bao builds the infrastructure, the value of the 100,000 hectares of land will skyrocket, and the value of other nearby wasteland will also be reflected.

"I didn't expect you to give me these wastelands directly, nor did I think of exempting the rent, but certainly not too harshly. In the future, land near 100,000 hectares of mountain forest wasteland will benefit from my development...... Well, no, I feel like I'm at a loss. Governor Ackmin, I think there is one more thing that needs to be added, that is, in the future, I have the right to lease the nearby woodland first. ”

"Uh."

Akmin was speechless, he didn't expect Tang Bao's thinking to jump so much, he was talking about the rent issue before, and immediately jumped to something else.

"What? In the future, those lands may benefit from my investment and development, can't I even get a right of first refusal? Tang Bao pretended to be angry.

"Ahh Of course not. However, Mr. Tang, is this a matter of waiting for the development of 100,000 hectares of land to be completed...... It's too early to talk about that. Akmin replied.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that Akmin was also a little optimistic about the future value of those wastelands, so even if Tang Bao asked for it, he didn't directly promise it.

"Well, that's going to come later. Then let's continue to talk about the issue of rent...... "Tang Bao could only reluctantly return to the original topic.

"Frankly, the wasteland in the hands of the state government has no value at all. Leaving it to Mr. Tang for development is the best choice. Well, Mr. Tang will pay the rent of 10 million US dollars directly. Akmin was ruthless and said directly.

100,000 hectares of wasteland, 70 years of rent, 10 million dollars in a fixed price!

Considering the situation there, it's not cheap.

"Okay."

Tang Bao didn't care, and responded happily.

Soon.

Tang Bao and Akemin initialed a lease contract, a formal contract that needs to be drafted by a professional lawyer and takes some time. But if there is no accident, the matter is settled.

"Mr. Tang, I can't guarantee anything else, if you encounter difficulties in the investment of the project, you can inform us at any time of the São Paulo State Government." Akmin laughed.

"Good. I would like to thank Governor Ackmin for his support. Tang Bao responded, he knew that signing the lease contract was only the first step, and there would be no less trouble in the future. It would have been nice for Akmin to take the initiative to remove the obstacles. In fact, even if he wanted to shrink up, Tang Bao would not be able to let him get his wish.

Tang Bao had already described a grand blueprint with unlimited prospects to Akmin early, and as long as the other party was tempted, he must support him.

In fact.

Akmin was impressed. He is ambitious to turn this cooperation into an international agricultural cooperative development project, and add another brilliant achievement to himself......

São Paulo is the economic center of Brazil, and its economic advantage is naturally not agriculture. Therefore, after talking about the "agricultural cooperative development project", Akemin seized the rare opportunity to strongly recommend many investment projects to Tang Bao. Tang Bao intends to invest in São Paulo, so he will naturally not refuse.

But.

Tang Bao only has a detailed understanding of Brazil's mineral resources, and his knowledge of other fields is almost infinitely close to zero. He and Akmin can only talk in general terms, and the specific needs to wait for the person in charge recommended by Capus to be selected to take over before they can be implemented in depth.

on this.

Akmin is not in a hurry, as long as there is no refusal, then it is easy to say.

……

At noon, Tang Bao originally wanted to leave directly, but Akmin said that he didn't agree to anything, so he had to invite Tang Bao to dinner, and pulled a group of officials to accompany him. Considering that the future investment still needs to be taken care of by the other party, there are many chances of dealing with it, so Tang Bao did not forcibly refuse.

Brazil, like the habit of the Chinese people, can only talk about things at the wine table. Local officials attach great importance to foreign investment, especially in the face of Tang Bao's wealthy man, who is full of enthusiasm and frequently toasts. Fortunately, Tang Bao's alcohol consumption is not low, otherwise he would have to be poured down.

Call.

Surrounded by the enthusiasm of the group of Brazilian officials, Tang Bao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Boss, with your status, even the president of Brazil has to pay attention. I also get along well with Akmin, so why bother dealing with those local officials, seeing that they are all full of brains, there must not be many good goods. As soon as she left the hotel, Kate said with a frown.

"As the saying goes, Hades is easy to see, and it is difficult to pluck a little ghost. I came to Brazil to do business, and it's about making money with harmony, so there's no need to anger these 'little ghosts'......" Tang Bao said with a smile. When someone else comes to toast, you ignore it, where is the other party's face? I can't bear to have a seizure on the spot, but I'm afraid that I will be jealous and resentful, and I will see the opportunity to stumble on myself. Therefore, no matter how high or low the other party's status is today, as long as he comes to toast, Tang Bao will respond politely. Tang Bao didn't want to have in-depth contact with these people, but just hoped that the other party wouldn't block himself.

Glancing at Kate, Tang Bao continued, "As long as they don't violate our interests, it has nothing to do with us. ”

"Hmm."

Kate nodded slightly, she naturally heard the meaning of Tang Bao's words. (To be continued.) )
