Chapter 121: Buying a Country
"Phew, a place where birds don't! If it weren't for Mr. Wang's orders, I wouldn't want to come to this fucking place for the rest of my life! In the midst of scolding, Qian Xiaoduo walked off the plane hatefully. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When the plane had just slid to a halt on the Funafuti Highway, it had almost broken off a handful of his old bones.
I was really scared, but fortunately the quality of the plane was really good, otherwise it would have been an accident.
When the time comes, the dignified first deputy general manager of Baiwang Group will die unjustly in this way.
What is Funafuti? This is the capital of Tuvalu.
This is a poor country with only the sea left, and it is also a country that is about to be submerged.
Tuvalu, located in the South Pacific Ocean, is made up of 9 atolls of islands, with a land area of only 26 square kilometers, making it the fourth smallest country in the world.
The country has no mineral resources, the land is barren, agriculture is backward, there is no industry.
In particular, after the rise in sea level and the inflow of seawater, normal agricultural production has almost completely come to a standstill.
At present, the permanent population of the country is less than 10,000, which is the second least populous country in the world.
Tuvalu's GDP is less than $20 million, and its GDP per capita is equally less than $2,000.
The capital, Funafuti, is located on the main island, with a radius of no more than 2 square kilometers and an altitude of no more than 5 meters above sea level.
If a big wave hits you, the whole island will have to take a bath, and the salinization of the land is very serious.
Funafuti is a long and narrow road, which also doubles as an airport runway, which has become potholed due to sea erosion, disrepair and lack of maintenance.
So when the plane landed, Qian Xiaoduo was almost scared.
It can be said that this country is not as good as a town in eastern China, and there is a big gap in both economic and living conditions.
It can be said that the money under one person and above a million people is much smaller, what are you doing in this poor and remote place?
He was ordered by the king to negotiate a big deal, a big deal worth billions of dollars.
The deal was the purchase of the country of Tuvalu, or to be precise, the purchase of all the islands and reefs of Tuvalu, as long as the land was not human.
Qian Xiaoduo dared to come, naturally he was confident, he and his entourage had carefully studied Tuvalu, and it was imperative for this transaction.
"Really, I'm so stupid, I didn't hesitate to raise the price again and again, and chartered a plane to fly directly from China, just to find excitement!"
Like Xianglin's sister-in-law, Qian Xiaoduo chattered non-stop to the other members of the accompanying team.
Others are the same, they are scared enough, no matter how they have the heart to deal with him, they all take care of themselves to appease the fearful mood.
It's stupid to think about it, when they set off, someone suggested that they take a plane to Pei Ji first, and then take a boat to go there.
Qian Xiaoduo felt that it was too troublesome, and after soliciting the opinions of the entourage, everyone agreed to charter a flight.
As a result, most airlines rejected their charter requests, so the price was increased repeatedly.
In the end, for a million dollars, a forty-seater passenger plane of Aeroflot was chartered.
Facts have proved that the fighting nation is really strong, and the plane is also enduring, and it landed safely on the road with potholes so bad that it is inferior to most village roads in China.
"Lao Wang, Lao Luo, you two said that there is an airport in this place, why do we still land on a broken road?" Qian Xiaoduo is still complaining.
"I'm here in '09, who knew Tuvalu would decline so quickly." Wang Fei also had palpitations and replied.
Wang Fei had been to Tuvalu once as a journalist, and this time he was hired as a consultant and came together.
Lao Luo, whose name is Luo Shudong, once opened a supermarket in Tuvalu, mainly importing goods from China and selling them locally.
At that time, business was not bad, but because the local economy has been deteriorating, business is getting worse and worse, so I can only close the door and return to China.
"Okay, Mr. Qian, isn't this a safe landing? Calm down! Luo Shudong comforted.
Pointing to the distance again, he said, "Funafuti has an international airport, but you can look at the runway outside, can it still be used?" ”
Qian Xiaoduo looked at Luo Shudong's guidance, although he couldn't see clearly, he could see the overturned road, which made people shudder.
"......" scolded, and Qian Xiaoduo didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Qian, if it weren't for the virtue of being poor, we wouldn't have come to this place, right?" Luo Shudong said with a smile.
Also, if it is not poor, it is not easy for a country to buy, otherwise the Maldives has the same problem, but people are tourist resorts and are very rich.
Looking to acquire? Trillions of dollars is about the same!
Thinking of this, Qian Xiaoduo also balanced and stopped complaining.
"Haha, Rowe, my good friend, welcome back to Tuvalu."
The people who got off the plane raised their heads and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Two fat men in shirts, pants and slippers walked over, surrounded by a group of locals.
"Prime Minister Saoufatu Sopoaga, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Works, Communications and Transport Mattia Toafa."
Luo Shudong saw the person who came clearly and quickly introduced it to everyone.
With his arms outstretched, Luo Shudong stepped forward, laughed and said, "My good friend, this is not my small business, your good days have arrived!" ”
After hugging the two, Luo Shudong introduced them to the group led by Qian Xiaoduo.
When they heard that Qian Xiaoduo's subordinates were in charge of millions of people, Rao had already been informed, and a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two.
After shaking hands warmly and saying hello, Qian Xiaoduo invited the two to get into the car.
This time the plane also carried three flying cars, which had just been driven out.
Looking at the shining flying car in the sun, the eyes of the two were also shining.
Touching the sofa in the car, Ufatu Sopoaga exclaimed: "What a great invention, I may ask, can we introduce flying cars?" ”
"Of course, but it's a custom-built car that costs eight million dollars." Luo Shudong responded enthusiastically.
When Ufatu Sopoa's family heard this price, they sobbed and stopped talking, and Mattia Toafa was also stunned and did not know how to answer.
Luo Shudong turned a blind eye to the embarrassment of the two, and continued: "Mass production cars are cheaper, and in China, millions of families already have their own flying cars. ”
"My friend, if we get the business done, I think each of your families will have their own flying car, I can guarantee it."
Ufatu Sopoa and Mattia Toafa nodded, and did not speak, but looked at the furnishings in the car.
Qian Xiaoduo smiled, walked to the back of the car, opened the car refrigerator, and asked, "Two, what to drink?" All the drinks in China are readily available! ”
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the seats of the two were facing the refrigerator.
Looking at the full number of bottles and cans, Ufatu Sopoa and Mattia Toafa each pointed to a bottle of drink.
Qian Xiaoduo didn't know which one the two wanted, so he smiled, took out two bottles casually, and handed them to the two.
When the two of them finished drinking, the flying car also landed in front of the Prime Minister's Office.
