Chapter 231: Talking about Cooperation (Part II)
"All you're looking for is a tax-free gambling, right?" As the old chief said this, he chuckled meaninglessly as he looked at Austin.
Then, he put his pipe on the ground and knocked it out, and after knocking out the burned tobacco, he smiled and continued to look at Austin as he pulled out his pouch and refilled the pipe.
Austin chuckled as well.
He replied to the old chieftain with a tacit look, and then spoke again: "Isn't this good? With the help of our cooperative forces, the entire brown bear tribe can change the existing living environment and lead all the tribesmen out of poverty and get rich! And we, as businessmen."
Speaking of "we", Austin smiled and glanced at his wife beside him before continuing: "Because of this extremely far-sighted investment, you can get a long-term and stable return on your interests!" Soβ"
Austin concluded: "Since everyone's interests are on the same page, it's all the more important for us to sit down and talk about how we can work together next!" Isn't it? β
The old chief fell silent noncommittally, smoking his pipe, as if to measure and judge
At this time, the eagle, as the deputy chief, was already impatiently asking how Austin should cooperate.
While the eagle blurted out a question, the old chief's eyes involuntarily looked at Austin
ββββββββββββββββββ
Before Austin came here, he had the whole cooperation plan in mind. So, when Austin found out that the old chief's heart was not as calm and relaxed as he appeared on his face. He is even more confident that this cooperation will be successful.
Austin's gaze slowly glanced over the faces of the two men, the eagle who was obviously anxious, and the old chieftain, who seemed to be calm, and then said with a smile, "First of all. Before all the projects can begin, we have to sign a confidentiality cooperation agreement beforehand! β
Seeing the eagle and the old chief on the other side, he did not open his mouth to refute his words. Austin pondered his tone for a moment and then continued: "The main purpose of this pre-signed confidentiality agreement is to protect the rights and interests of me, and even all the participants behind me!" The general terms of the cooperation can be summarized as follows: first, we will have the right to participate in all development projects in the reserve after we have secured the ideal reserved land for your tribe; Second, we, as investors, will set up a management committee in the reserve, which will work with your tribe to form a 'reserve government' and participate in the management of the entire reservation. In particular, tax policies and legal provisions for reservations must be worked out in conjunction with the Commission! Third, the committee has the right to participate in the distribution of tax revenues from various industries in the entire reserve, and as for the specific distribution ratio, it is not yet time to discuss it, and when it reaches a certain stage, all the participants can sit down and discuss slowly."
"Then isn't our tribe all making wedding dresses for others! Except for being able to move out of this forest, basically all the benefits are taken up by you big investors, aren't they? When he heard this, the anxious eagle couldn't help but interject and shout.
After hearing the eagle's complaint, a faint smile appeared on Austin's face. He threw a "don't be impatient" look at the eagle, and then continued to speak: "Don't be anxious, please be patient and listen to me continue, okay?" The fourth article that I am going to talk about now includes a treaty that guarantees the corresponding interests of the brown bear tribe - the brown bear tribe can estimate the land in the reserve at the market value at that time. After calculating the current market value of the land, it will be discounted into 20% of the investment quota and participated in the various projects of the entire reserve development plan, and the 20% investment quota will also be apportioned into the corresponding equity ratio! β
"What does '20% off' mean? Can you explain this more clearly? "At this time. The old chief asked suddenly.
"Let's say, for example, if the land on which the reservation we help your tribe operate is worth $100 million." A discount of 20 percent is equivalent to 20 million dollars! Your tribe can use the $20 million to participate in all of our investments on the reserve, and then receive a proportionate share of the $20 million investment amount. Enjoy dividends and dividends! β
Before Austin's words were finished, the anxious eagle had already stood up with a red face, clenched his fists and shouted, "This is too bullying!" It's only two percent! β
Austin didn't pay attention to the eagle, but turned his gaze to the old chief, smiled and said: "As for why 'discount by two percent', you know, without the promotion and operation of our forces, if you rely solely on the strength of the brown bear tribe itself to fight for the rights and interests of the government, how will you believe that the old chief should know it in your heart!" The Indian tribes that did not choose to cooperate with certain forces at that time have all become the "compromised" and "abandoned" groups, and where is the geographical location of the land on the reservation they are allotted? What is the value of the land? Old chief, you should be well aware! β
"Hehe, the value of those lands is simply penniless! Not to mention that the discount is two, even if the discount is one, there will be no investors to invest and develop there! Soβ" Austin looked at the old chief confidently and forcefully, and concluded, "If it weren't for me and the forces behind me, the Brown Bear Tribe would not have been able to obtain an ideal piece of reserved land from the government!" The discount of 20% is already the most reasonable condition I can give! β
When he said this, Austin turned his head to look at his wife, then looked into the old chief's eyes, and said in a slow tone: "If it weren't for the fact that before I came, my wife specifically begged me to take care of the interests of your tribe more, according to my heart, giving twenty percent would be high!" β
At this time, Austin finally turned his attention to the eagle.
There was a faint oppressive momentum in his gaze. But his expression was extremely indifferent, and he calmly and forcefully reminded the other party: "Similar to the partner of the brown bear tribe." If you really want to find it, you can still find it! Change to another partner. Not to mention the discount, even if I give them half of the conditions, I believe they can't wait to agree! β
The eagle was more and more red by Austin's words, he let go of his clenched fist, and then scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, his eyes drifted for a while, and he looked at Pei Pei for help: "Pell, two percent is really too little!" We need to open up the management of the entire reserve, the right to make laws and the benefits of taxation, and the benefits we enjoy are only 20% of the value of the land! Of course. I also know that without you and your husband, the brown bear tribe might not have been able to get even a decent piece of land, let alone this two-percent ratio, but "
Halfway through speaking, the eagle didn't know how to be specific about himself, so he had to scratch his ears and look at Peipei.
Pei Pei sighed, some of Austin's words were right, the premise that this plan could be achieved. It must be jointly promoted by all forces, if it is not driven by interests, who will have time to take this lead for the brown bear tribe!
After being silent for a while, she looked at the eagle and replied, "The land is discounted in half at the market price." In my judgment, this condition is relatively fair to the Brown Bear Tribe! β
"Peer~~~~~~" When the eagle heard this, he was visibly disappointed. After muttering Pei Pei's name, he sat back down on the small bench with a look of loss.
Pei Pei threw a "don't be impatient" look to the eagle. Then he tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes and asked, "If you can't give in to the discount rate of the land." So can we make a slight concession on the distribution ratio of tax revenue? β
The eagle's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Austin hopefully.
Austin chuckled noncommittally.
He took his wife's hand, then rubbed the back of his wife's hand and replied with a smile: "On this point, it is not up to me and you to decide now, and then we will have to negotiate with other investors before making specific details." So, it's not realistic to talk about this issue now, isn't it! β
With that, Austin turned his head back to look at the eagle and then shrugged his shoulders.
The eagle's affection immediately fell again.
Pei Pei is not good at this time, is it difficult to tell the eagle at this time, does it mean that she will use her divine sense to make the third-party investors give up some of their profits and let the brown bear tribe profit?
Pei Pei had no choice but to comfort the eagle with hints: "Eagle, since it's not the time to talk about this issue, then we can only put this topic aside for a while, and when it comes to the official discussion of tax income distribution, I promise, I will try my best to fight for more benefits for you!" β
"Thanks, Pell!" At this time, the eagle's feelings had already recovered to calm down, and after he raised his head and smiled faintly at Pei Pei, he said calmly: "I'm sorry, I just got a little bit out of weight!" To be honest, you two can fancy the name of the brown bear tribe, and are willing to spend your thoughts, time, energy, and even money to help and invest in the development of the brown bear tribe, I should express gratitude instead of greed! β
When he said this, a faint calm smile appeared on the eagle's face.
Then, he looked up at the low-slung earthen village around him, and after a while, he shifted his gaze back to Pei Pei's face, and continued in a sincere tone: "If we don't turn to you for help, we will be on our own, maybe in another ten years we will still be in this mountain forest!" β
After saying this, the eagle turned his gaze to the old chief's face, with earnest and expectant feelings in his eyes: "As the leader of the entire brown bear tribe, old chief, it is your turn to decide!" To accept it or not to accept it, I am willing to listen to your old judgment! β
The old chief had been smoking his pipe in his mouth since Pei Pei had just started to speak.
Until now, he was still looking down and smoking a pipe, and he looked like he was still thinking.
As soon as the eagle's voice fell, the old chief did not speak immediately, and soβa silent and tense atmosphere began to surround them.
After thinking for a while, the old chief finally looked up into the eagle's eyes, and with a wisdom in his eyes, he smiled slowly: "My brave and kind child, if I answer you 'no', can you and all the children in the tribe do not blame me for this, and continue to stay in this jungle in peace, enjoying the poverty of sunrise and sunset?" β
Austin heard the old chief's question, his breath tightened unconsciously, and then he looked at the eagle's expression quietly.
The eagle smiled innocently, scratched the back of his head and replied, "If you don't agree to this cooperation, old chief, all the young people of the tribe, including me, will definitely be disappointed, but they will definitely not blame and blame the old chief for this!" As for whether the young people of the tribe are willing to continue to live in this jungle and live the traditional tribal life of the old chieftain, I have to tell you the truth, if there is an opportunity, all the young people, including me, will go out to the mountains to find a job with a stable salary. First, it is because they are unwilling to continue to live such a poor life here, and more importantly, the young people in the tribe hope to find a new way out and change the fate of themselves and even the entire tribe! β
The old chief sighed softly, his eyelids drooped, and his eyes looked down at the pipe in his hand, and his rough, dark fingers kept rubbing the wooden handle of the pipe, as if he was struggling inwardly
After a long time, the old chief finally raised his gaze again, looked at Austin and said, "Well, for the future of these young people in the tribe."
At this point, the old chief's tone paused, he knocked his pipe upside down on the ground, and after the ash was shaken, the old chief got up and walked towards Austin, stretched out his hand and smiled: "I wish us a happy cooperation!" β
Austin's eyes flashed with a glint of confidence and pride.
He got up to greet the old chief, smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it back, "Happy cooperation!" (To be continued......)
PS: This chapter is more than 4000 words, and it took me five and a half hours of brain cells, not only to take into account Austin, who is a qualified businessman, to have a profit-oriented attitude in the face of cooperation negotiations, but also to take into account the ambivalence of the heroine, but also to conform to the real situation in terms of business cooperation, so it took a long time to revise it again and again, and finally reached a more satisfactory Cheng dΓΉ!
