Section 22 Negotiations on the Purchase of Islands (2)
The negotiator on the island buying team is a Chinese-American.
In the spirit of leaving professional things to professional people, this time the matter of purchasing 78.12 square kilometers of land on Tortuga Island with the Haitian government and government was handed over to Li Jiajun to do the negotiation and negotiation at the negotiation table.
Locke. Kazimir nodded.
"We have a few questions that we need answers from your country before the formal negotiations." Li Jiajun said.
"Please."
"First, the relocation of more than 600 households in the five settlements of Herbes-Marines, Mapou, Aux-Plains, Basse-Tene and Tetelili will be borne by the government of your country."
"Yes."
Second, "My client, Mr. Chen, wants to keep a convoy of more than 300 people with automatic weapons on his land to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of his land are not violated, as well as to protect the personal safety of my client, Mr. Chen." Li Jiajun said.
"This is absolutely not possible, I can guarantee that our military has the ability to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Mr. Chen's land from being violated, as well as to protect Mr. Chen's personal safety." Locke. Kazimir outright rejected this request.
Just kidding, a convoy of 300 well-trained, fully armed with automatic weapons, placed on the island of Tortuga is like a knife to your waist, a threat to Haiti.
Hearing this, Li Jiajun shook his head and said, "In fact, your country's government and government army can't do this.
According to the information we have investigated, the law and order in your country is so chaotic that guns are rampant, and shootings and kidnappings are endless, even in the northwest corner of Port-au-Prince, the capital of your country, there is a 'dangerous place' of the sun and the city, and even your police are shy away.
Therefore, we and our clients do not believe that the government and military of your country will be able to protect the legitimate rights and personal safety of Mr. Chen's land.
It is necessary to have a guard of 300 men equipped with automatic weapons.
Otherwise, my client, Mr. Chen, would be attacked by thugs, gangsters, and gangsters every day, extorted, blackmailed, and blackmailed. ”
Both sides hold their own views and are very resolute.
Negotiations were suspended in the middle of the negotiations.
Locke. Kazimir & Dyce. Zinell and the government staff around him walked into a nearby room and discussed for a while.
Negotiations continue.
Locke. Kazimir replied, "It is possible to form a convoy, but the number of convoys must be limited to 80 people. ”
"No, 80 people is too little, according to the information we have obtained from our investigation, in Haiti, there are more than 10 gangs, gangs, and radical religious groups with more than 1,000 people, so the 80-member escort team cannot fully ensure the safety of my client, Mr. Chen, and the rights and interests of the land are violated, and the number is at least 150 people, and the establishment of a company."
In the end, after deliberation and consultation, the number of escort troops was limited to 150 people, and the number of people in a company was limited to automatic weapons, and no other heavy weapons could be possessed.
Next, the Haitian government and government are required not to impose more restrictions on the development and utilization of the islands.
That's totally fine.
The Haitian government and government do not impose any restrictions on the exploitation of the islands.
Haiti is a country where many people don't even have enough to eat, and they talk nonsense about destroying the ecological environment.
In fact, the Haitian government also hopes that Chen Rui can build a special construction on the island.
The reason is simple: the construction process requires a large number of laborers, which can increase the employment rate in Haiti.
A large number of building materials are needed, because the transportation cost of building materials from other countries is very high, so most of the building materials will be purchased in Haiti across the sea, which can increase Haiti's foreign exchange earnings, and at the same time, indirectly stimulate Haiti's economic growth and increase Haiti's employment rate.
Finally, if the 71.12 square kilometers of the eastern part of Tortuga Island are built into a tourist mecca, attracting countless tourists, tourists will definitely have to spend, hire locals as guides, and rely on Haiti for transportation, various daily necessities, food, etc., which will be of great benefit to Haiti's economic growth and population employment.
"For 71.12 square kilometers, your government has offered US$92 million, which is equivalent to US$1.3 million per square kilometre of land, which is extremely unreasonable.
You know, at this price, you can buy a piece of fertile land in Australia, where you can live comfortably and have a mild climate, and become a rancher. ”
"Mr. Li, there are 71.12 square kilometers in the eastern part of Tortuga Island, such a large island land for sale, which is rare in the world, and it is also located in the Caribbean Sea, with beautiful scenery, and there is a road in the eastern part of the island, which is connected to the central and western towns of the island, the island is rich in fresh water resources, dozens of kilometers of coastline, without any polluted beaches, clear water quality, and there are several rare animals on the island, one of the largest species of turtles in the world, brown-throated cone-tailed parrots, etc. It is a good resort for vacation and diving. ”
"It's not a road, it's a dirt road, Mr. Prime Minister, we need to spend a lot of money and time to widen and extend this dirt road, and pave it with cement, and these, near the coastline on the side of Heping Port, and five settlements, are full of domestic garbage, we need to spend a lot of time and money to deal with it, and build a garbage disposal site, and also, due to years of deforestation, the vegetation is secondary plants," Li Jiajun said. ”
After several days of negotiations and consultations and disputes between the two sides, the price was finally set at 77.82 million US dollars, equivalent to 1.08 million US dollars per square kilometer.
In the end, legal experts from both sides came out and drew up a contract that was hundreds of pages thick.
May 18th.
In the presence of media journalists.
Chen Rui and Haiti's Prime Minister and Minister of Planning and External Cooperation, Mr. Roque. Kazimir signed his name on the contract.
Since then, Chen Rui has the permanent ownership and use rights of five settlements in the eastern part of Tortuga Island, including Mapou, Aux-Plainses, etc., covering an area of up to 71.12 square kilometers.
It does not include the sovereignty of land, which still belongs to the government and government of Haiti.
The Haitian government also received the much-needed $77.81 million in valuable foreign exchange earnings.
