Section 574 Raise money to buy the island

In the end, three parties proposed to the Portuguese government to negotiate the purchase of the island, France, Germany, and the royal family of Tortuga Island, represented by Chen Rui.

March 15th.

First of all, under Chen Rui's nod, the envoy Carlson. Harry's representative Chen Rui accepted Portugal's bid of US$197.317 billion for the northwestern archipelago of Flores, Corvo, Monchique, and 17 islands and reefs in the Azores.

Immediately after, two days later, March 17.

With the approval of the parliament, Germany also accepted Portugal's offer and was willing to pay $197.317 billion to buy the northwestern island group of the Azores.

Germany also wants to buy the North-Western Azores group.

You know, although the northwestern archipelago of the Azores is very remote, more than 2,000 kilometers away from the African coastline, farther away from Europe, more than 2,500 kilometers, and more than 3,000 kilometers away from North America, these islands have no minerals, oil, fisheries and other resources, as for the tourism resources, no one will run to such a remote desert island to travel, or many people yearn for Robinson's drifting life, staying on a desert island for decades, but, no one will want to experience Robinson drifting life?! These islands are so wild, very inhabited by a very small population, very remote, these islands are only very little developed,.

However, the geographical location of the Azores is good, in the middle of the Western Ocean, it is a relay station for sea and air routes between Europe, the United States and Africa, and many goods and planes from the Americas, Europe and Africa pass through the Atlantic. 'Break' halfway through. Get supplies. It only takes 2 hours to fly from the Azores to Lisbon, Portugal, and 4 hours to Berlin, Germany, and the strategic location is also very important, and the US military base of Laješ is on the island of Terceira.

Although the location of the northwestern archipelago of the Azores is not as good as the location of the central archipelago, the relay port of the Atlantic Ocean, Porto Heromas, is in the central island group, and the Terceira Island, where the Lazhish military base is located, is also in the central island group, and the tourist attractions are all in the central islands, however, the northwest island group is cheaper, less than 200 billion US dollars, and there is also a chance to buy it, and the central island group cannot be bought even if it is hundreds of billions of dollars, unless it is seized in a war.

Germany can also afford to buy.

Although it is said that Germany was a defeated country in World War II and was divided into East and West Germany. It was not reunited until 1990, though. Germany has developed rapidly, and now it has developed into the largest economy in Europe, the fourth largest economic power in the world, the third largest exporter in the world, the world's largest trading country, and the world's most influential car brands Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche are all located in Germany.

Although Germany's economy has suffered some trauma in the current world financial crisis, it is still very easy to spend $200 billion to buy islands to expand Germany's overseas territories, increase Germany's exclusive economic sovereignty zone in the waters, and build Germany's overseas military bases.

March 20th.

The French government also accepted Portugal's offer.

Obviously, the French government and government have the same goals as Germany.

The two most important values of the northwestern archipelago of the Azores, the territorial sea as well as the sovereignty of the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone, as well as military bases.

Territorial sovereignty deals, albeit just desert islands, are very rare in the world in this century.

Of course, in 2012, Japan's Noda government and government spent 2.05 billion yen to buy the Diaoyu Islands from the so-called "land owners". The Diaoyu Islands have belonged to China since ancient times, and China has indisputable sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands and the waters around them.

Many people around the world are paying close attention to this island purchase transaction, not only ordinary people, but also countries are paying close attention to this island purchase transaction, who will buy Flores Island, Corvo Island and the islands, France, Germany, or, Chen Rui, the local tyrant Jin.

Many people clicked on the map of valleys and songs, moved their mouse to the middle of the Atlantic, and clicked to the northwestern island group of the Azores, and were very curious about what kind of islands were put on the shelves.

March 22nd.

The people around the world who are following this island purchase deal did not wait for the Portuguese government to announce the final buyers of Flores, Corvo and the islands.

There was an accident in the purchase of the island.

The Portuguese government and government proposed a constraint to France, Germany, and Chen Rui to purchase the islands, and the buyer of the islands of Flores, Corvo and the islands must promise not to build naval bases, air bases, submarine bases and other forms of military bases on the islands.

This immediately attracted strong protests from France, Germany, and Chen Rui, but it did not make the Portuguese government change its mind.

In fact, the Portuguese government also wants this deal to go smoothly, nearly 200 billion US dollars, get this money, pay off debts, and improve the already terrible domestic economy, of course, the welfare of the whole people cannot be less.

However, the Portuguese government is under pressure from the United States.

On March 20, U.S. Secretary of State Davis. Coles flew to Lisbon on a special plane and had a secret meeting with the Portuguese president.

Davis. Coles transmitted the opinion of the United States on the sale of the islands of Flores, Corvo, as well as the islands by Portugal.

The United States has only two opinions, 1, or not for sale. 2. Sell, yes, but the buyer is not allowed to build any kind of military base on Flores, Corvo and the islands, this article must be in the purchase agreement, expressly stipulated, bound by treaty.

Not only that, but the EU countries have also more or less transmitted similar opinions to the Portuguese government, in short, the buyer of the island is not allowed to build military bases on the island of Flores, Corvo and the islands.

The opinions of the United States and EU countries are very important, because these are the creditors of Portugal, and the debts are not uncles!! The creditor is the uncle.

That's why this happened.

Military bases cannot be built. The value of these islands has shrunk considerably. All that remains is the word 'sovereignty'. and sovereignty over territorial waters and a 200-nautical-mile EEZ can still be worth a little money.

The main purpose of the purchase of the islands by France and Germany is to build a military base, in the Azores, a key strategic point in the middle of the Atlantic, incidentally!! Increase the exclusive economic rights and interests of the country's overseas territories and seas.

The treaty constrained the construction of a military base on the island, and suddenly the sovereignty of Flores, Corvo and the islands became less attractive to France and Germany.

France, Germany. Chen Rui's side, after protesting to the Portuguese government and government to no avail, did not make the Portuguese government and government change their minds, that is, in the island purchase agreement, there must be a clause, but the buyer of the island is not allowed to build any form of military base on Flores, Corvo and the islands.

March 25th.

The French government first announced a permanent freeze on the purchase of Flores, Corvo and the islands.

Immediately after, 3 days later.

The German government also announced the purchase of the island of Flores. Corvo Island and the Islands' plan is not being considered.

In the end, only the royal family of the Kingdom of Tortuga remained.

March 27th.

Envoy of the King of the Kingdom of Tortuga Carlson. Harry in response to a question from a reporter from The New York Times. "The decision to buy 'Flores, Corvo and Islands' remains unchanged. "However, Carlson. Harry believes that the $197.317 billion purchase fee is too high for the islands of Flores, Corvo and the islands, which cannot build military bases.

Carlson. Harry replied with the words 'Flores, Corvo and the islands where no military bases can be built'.

On behalf of Chen Rui, the king's envoy Carlson. Response, "The purchase fee for Flores, Corvo and the islands must be renegotiated!!

The Portuguese government responded, "It can be discussed." ”

The Tortuga side re-surveyed the island area of Flores Island, Corvo Island and the islands, as well as the territorial sea, the area of the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone, collected the resources, hydrology, weather and climate and fishery resources of Flores Island, Corvo Island and the islands, and finally quoted 147,812.71 million US dollars to the Portuguese government and government.

Although it is not possible to build a military base on the islands of Fergus and Co, and the price will be reduced by a part, after all, it is a country's sovereignty over the islands, including territorial waters, and the sovereignty of the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone, and the value is certainly not cheap.

The trade between countries is not street food, you can bargain and spit foam.

The price quoted for Tortuga is based on an accurate survey, and the purchase fee is calculated to the nearest '10,000' US dollar.

After consultation between the Portuguese government and government, yes.

The Portuguese government and government said that it was okay or not, and it still needed to be approved by parliament before it could be considered legal.

April 11th.

The Agreement on the Sale of Flores, Corvo and the Islands was approved by 73% of the votes of the Portuguese Parliament.

At this time, the purchase of the island officially entered the main topic, and the two parties signed an agreement for the record, which is internationally binding.

Buyer, Royal Family of the Kingdom of Tortuga, Seller, Portuguese Government and Government.

In the island purchase agreement, the royal family of the Kingdom of Tortuga is required to pay the Portuguese government and government a purchase fee of US$147,812.71 million within 45 days.

After paying the purchase fee of 147,812.71 million US dollars on the island of Tortuga, the sovereignty of the islands, territorial waters and the exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles of Flores, Corvo and the islands automatically belong to the royal family of the Kingdom of Tortuga.

Witnessed by the United Nations-

In Kharmu, the capital of Sudan, Chen Rui saw the filing of the island purchase agreement in the mailbox.

$147,812.71 million!!

That's not a small number.

To be honest, he couldn't come up with so much money.

Although there are more than a dozen companies under the name of the royal family, Fannie Real Estate Company, Oak Publishing Company, Pyramid Film Company, MM Special Metal Metallurgical Company, Seaview Restaurant Group, Tortuga Island Tourism Company, Belle Oil Company, Fishing Company and Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, holding a part of the shares of hundreds of listed Internet and mobile phone technology companies around the world, and a giant CTE bioengineering company.

These companies are making 'doujin' day by day, and perhaps 'doujin' can no longer describe the strong profitability of these enterprises.

Ignoring the giant CTE Bioengineering, the combined assets of other companies under the name of the royal family are more than a trillion dollars.

At the height of the economy, the company was valued at the dollar.

Fannie Limin Real Estate Company is a stronger company,

The Harbour View Restaurant Group has opened 700 branches around the world.

MM Special Metallurgical Company, Pyramid Film Company, Fishery Company

However, having so many assets does not mean that Chen Rui can come up with so much cash.

Moreover, before the economic crisis, Chen Rui had already withdrawn most of the reserve cash of more than $70 billion from these companies and invested it in the stock market, and now, it is difficult for Chen Rui to come up with $147,812.71 million within 45 days.

Chen Rui contacted the Crown Asset Management Committee to find out how much money could be withdrawn without affecting the normal operations of the companies.

The Royal Assets Management Committee gave Chen Rui a reply, $27 billion, and if Chen Rui needs it urgently, he can withdraw another $10 billion or so.

Half a year ago, more than $70 billion was withdrawn, and now another $27 billion can be withdrawn without affecting the normal operations of the subsidiaries, and the profitability of these companies is very strong.

Chen Rui asked the Crown Asset Management Committee to withdraw $27 billion in a month and deposit it into the Central Bank of Tortuga.

Chen Rui inquired about the government and government of Tortuga Island again.

The government of Tortuga can repay part of the debt owed to Chen Rui, $7.5 billion, within 45 days.

27 billion, 7.5 billion, adds up to $34.5 billion.

It is still far from the $147,812.71 million in island purchase fees.

Chen Rui counted the property in his hands.

A total of 770 tons of gold were stored in the underground treasury of Tortuga Island, including part of Nazi gold, gold salvaged from a Spanish shipwreck, 200 tons of gold from Jews, 78 tons of gold from Japan, and so on.

According to the current international gold price of about 240 yuan/gram.

The price of 770 tonnes of gold is:

1 ton = 1,000,000 grams, 240 yuan * 1,000,000 grams, and it takes 240,000,000 to buy a ton of gold

, $240 million.

770 tons is about 185 billion, in RMB, equivalent to US dollars, and 770 tons of gold are worth about 28 billion US dollars. (To be continued.) )

PS: The first update is 4000 words.
