The conditions are naturally there, otherwise wouldn't Li Lan say all these words in vain?

If it is really as Jonathan just said, Li Lan does not need to talk about it, the so-called tax incentives, as well as tariff preferences, although Somalia can leave a lot of money left, but compared to the global future strategy, it is simply the gap between sesame seeds and watermelons.

After hearing Jonathan's words, Li Lan did not seduce Jonathan again, and said directly: "There are several conditions, the most important of which is safety, although you have promised to give my company a safe environment, but this does not make us feel at ease, so the first condition is to hope that you can give our company's security personnel, issue gun licenses, and allow them to use firearms and weapons to conduct legal self-defense when necessary." ”

Li Lan's first condition, Jonathan didn't think about it, so he agreed: "This is no problem at all, and it is also in line with African practice." ”

"I think you misunderstood, and I hope that you will be allowed to send more gun licenses in this way in Africa." Li Lan naturally understands these conventions, but in fact, when many foreign companies set up large-scale factories in Africa, in order to ensure the safety of the factories, some security personnel have legal gun licenses issued by the country.

However, what Li Lan wants is not a few or dozens of books, but more, so that he can arrange manpower more reasonably.

"How much does that need?" Jonathan didn't dare to admit it indiscriminately.

"It's not too much, twenty copies in one factory. Ten of them had to be assault rifles. And if a shipyard were to be built, the gun license would have to be doubled. "Li Lan doesn't feel like he's opening his mouth in the lion's mouth, Nigeria's environment. These 20 gun licenses are also difficult to really maintain the safety of the factory. But if there are more factories, the situation is different. If ten factories were two hundred, then there would be two hundred soldiers with guns. The effect naturally makes a big difference.

"I agreed to this condition. Let's talk about the second condition! Jonathan originally thought that Li Lan was asking the lion to open his mouth, but after hearing Li Lan's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he didn't think of the problem of twenty copies of a factory, and in his opinion, he also wished that Li Lan would build a few more factories.

And he is not afraid of those gunmen messing around, after all, the factories are built on his own land, even if he gives out a thousand gun licenses, he is not afraid. Nigeria's military strength, although not the first in Africa, is not weak.

Li Lan nodded and continued: "The second condition is the funds and raw materials for the construction of the factory, the Nigerian side does not need to ask, and the funds will not enter any financial institution in Nigeria. Of course, in the future, once the plant is put into operation. In terms of finance and taxation, we can also get the Nigerian tax department to regulate. ”

"I promise that." Jonathan didn't have any extra thoughts about this, and he didn't care about Li Lan's condition, in his opinion. Li Lan's condition is nothing more than wanting to protect the company's secrets.

"Thirdly, you must issue unconditional visas for the workers of our enterprises and guarantee our enterprises the right of first choice to recruit workers in Nigeria." Li Lan said.

Jonathan nodded in agreement.

"The fourth point. In order to ensure industrial secrecy, without our permission. Anyone, including the Nigerian government and military. are not allowed to enter our industrial zone. Speaking of this, Li Lan saw Jonathan continue to nod, and then said the most critical point, "The last point, and the most critical point, if the previous conditions are not problematic, then as long as you agree to this, I will make the decision to agree to the investment plan and choose Nigeria." ”

When Jonathan heard this, his spirit was also highly concentrated, and he said, "Please speak." ”

"That's what we want to do, wherever we choose to build a factory, you have to lease it to us unconditionally, and you can let us drive like an embassy until the factory closes or closes down." Li Lan said.

It seems to be a simple sentence, but the meaning is not simple at all, the embassy is equivalent to the sovereign territory of a country, that is, once the factory is built, the land where the factory is located is equivalent to the sovereign territory of Somalia. This is an illegal aggression for another sovereign state, after all, the factory is not an embassy.

At the same time, he also had some understanding of why Li Lan said the previous conditions, and the previous conditions were just to make him feel at ease after hearing the last condition, indicating that the Somali side did not want to make trouble within this so-called territorial sovereignty.

If it weren't for the very good prospects depicted by Li Lan, Jonathan would have refused, and the trade-offs between interests kept weighing back and forth in his heart, and finally after he took a deep breath, his face was a little more decisive, and he said sternly: "I can promise you, but the last condition will not be announced to the outside world, only recorded in the contract." ”

"No problem." Li Lan nodded, he needed a sovereign name, that is, in order to be able to let the sub-base vehicles be built, it was naturally best not to announce it, "Since you have agreed to the five conditions, then I will immediately notify the Future Technology Group and ask them to immediately send a team to Nigeria for inspection, and I hope you can be well entertained at that time." ”

When Jonathan heard this, his face suddenly relaxed, and his thick lips closed one by one: "We must meet the highest etiquette and welcome the arrival of the delegation." ”

"Then congratulations on opening a new chapter in the friendship between our two countries." Li Lan smiled and stretched out his right hand towards Jonathan.

If Jonathan could know the back of Li Lan's smile, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to cry, but now he is in the midst of excitement, and he seems to see that Nigeria has ushered in a miracle of great development, and he is very excited to stretch out his right hand and clasp it tightly with Li Lan: "Long live friendship." ”

The two of them forgot about themselves, but they have already made many heads of state around them feel extremely shocked, although when it came to the conditions later, Li Lan deliberately lowered his voice, but when he talked about investment projects earlier, Li Lan raised his voice slightly.

So the heads of state around also knew that the two were negotiating a huge investment at this moment, and when the two shook hands, almost every head of state showed extremely envious eyes when they looked at Jonathan, and it was accompanied by strong jealousy.

In Africa, there is simply no country or enterprise willing to put heavy industry on this land, let alone build automobile factories and shipyards in Africa. And the investment that could still reach hundreds of billions of dollars makes it difficult for many of the heads of state present to imagine what a huge asset it is.

The most direct consequence is that Li Lan is finishing the focus, and those guys who originally had a flat attitude towards Li Lan are now smiling once they look at Li Lan, showing a friendly signal.

However, they don't know that what they envy and envy is actually a huge hidden danger, there is no lunch in vain, although this is indeed not eaten in vain, Li Lan went to Nigeria to invest, in a normal way, it is to invest and make money.

The industry that will be built in the future is also to open up the local market in Nigeria, use their labor costs to produce products, and then sell them to them. It can also be used to export some raw materials to Nigeria, or directly export finished products.

Normally, this kind of investment from the Nigerian side is also very beneficial, in addition to increasing the country's income and promoting market competitiveness, it can also fill the gap in the country's industry, which is invaluable for a country committed to building an industrial system.

Therefore, this is why so many countries want to introduce foreign investment.

However, no one knows that Li Lan's real calculation in his heart is that factories and industries are just covers, and as long as the sub-bases are deployed in Nigeria in the future, in peacetime, the factories will be economic income, and once the military aspect is needed, those so-called factories can be turned into military factories immediately, and a steady stream of weapons can be produced and shouted out at that time.

And it is also possible to use these factories to install soldiers in military districts, for Nigeria, where arms are rampant, gun licenses are just a superficial cover, so that soldiers can hold weapons openly, as for the number does not matter, after all, everyone does not need to carry weapons.

Successfully negotiating this matter with Jonathan also opened up another path for the development of the base, and Li Lan's footsteps in the global deployment of military force can be regarded as the most powerful step.

Jonathan, who had achieved his goal, quickly left the incident to Li Lan, said goodbye and returned to his seat, and whispered a few words to his assistant for the first time, and then smiled at Li Lan again.

Subsequently, in less than a minute, the Somali Future Technology Group will spend hundreds of billions of dollars to build a heavy industry factory in Nigeria, which has reached the ears of world leaders all over the world, and the reporters from various countries who have been waiting downstairs have also transmitted this big news back to the headquarters for the first time.

Just when the heads of state of the African Union were having dinner, this news had already appeared on the front pages of online media and news, and the investment project of Somali Future Technology Group, a heavy dà, attracted countless eyeballs.

Subsequently, Jonathan's phone calls didn't seem to stop, and people kept calling, without exception, asking about the truth of the matter, some were congratulatory, and some were completely opposite, especially in Europe and the United States, with a very cold attitude. Obama, in particular, is almost questioning.

It is clear that some people are already unhappy that Nigeria and Somalia have come together.

However, Jonathan has already prepared for this, and no one in Nigeria is biased and will not be anyone's gunman. (To be continued......)
