Chapter 266: Lease of Land
PS: 730 monthly passes plus updates.
――――
There is no denial and no admit, and as for the nature of the problem, continue to let the outside world guess.
After all, there are some secrets, and for the Iraqi government, it is not as simple as speculation.
The outside world can speculate that there is a secret hidden beneath the town of Marin, but in the eyes of the Iraqi government, this secret is closely related to itself.
After all, in just a few months, it is impossible for Future Technology Group to secretly build a secret industry near or underground Marin Town.
If such a possibility is really possible, then the Iraqi side will lose a lot of money.
Even the Iraqi side has wondered if it is a secret military base left by Saddam Hussein or something like that.
Of course, they don't have an answer to this answer, and if it were Cai Ruichen when he first came to Iraq, maybe they wouldn't be polite.
But now...... In the face of the power that has developed in the face of the future technology group, the strength of the Iraqi government alone has to face the Islamic State...... Let's wash and sleep!
After hearing Cai Ruichen's answer, Aziz did not continue to ask, but nodded thoughtfully.
This answer is enough for him to give Hafez an explanation, who asked Hafez not to ask Cai Ruichen himself.
Aziz thought about it, and he didn't want to talk about these meaningless topics in front of his God of Wealth.
"I also want to congratulate the future technology group for its development morale, which is simply overwhelming and hearty." Aziz seemed to be trying to get close to Cai Ruichen, so he pulled up Mandarin again, and used three idioms in one go.
But. In Cai Ruichen's ears. It's still so awkward. If it weren't for his good hearing, he really wouldn't know what the other party was talking about.
As the saying goes, he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, he said with a smile: "This is the result of everyone's efforts, and I can't play it alone." ”
Aziz smiled slightly, nodded and said another compliment, and then didn't speak again. Because the president's reception room has arrived.
Pushing open the door of the conference room, Aziz invited Cai Ruichen in. Then he said: "Please Mr. Cai sit for a while, our president will come over soon." ”
After saying that, Aziz left directly.
Cai Ruichen looked around at this reception room, which is full of hundreds of square meters, and all kinds of artworks that can be played by local tyrants can be seen everywhere.
The whole layout, it can almost be said that it is extravagant to the extreme.
He had been to the Aziz reception room before, and he thought it was enough luxury, but he didn't expect it to be even more excessive.
However, Cai Ruichen didn't think much about it, and sat directly on the sofa that looked like it was inlaid with gold and silver and embellished with a few gems. The soft leather is much more comfortable than the sofa in the base hall.
"In the future, I will also make a set and put it in the base."
Cai Ruichen touched the leather on it. Muttered.
At this moment, the door of the reception room was pushed open, and Iraqi President Hafez walked in in formal clothes.
After seeing Cai Ruichen on the sofa, Lian smiled, seemed to be a little excited, and even his steps seemed to be much faster, and he stepped forward and said, "Dr. Cai, welcome to your arrival." ”
Looking at Hafez's pretentious posture, Cai Ruichen did not break it, but got up and stretched out his right hand to shake it with the other party, and said: "It is my honor to be able to meet Mr. President." ”
When Hafez heard this, he smiled and said, "Dr. Cai is too polite, your fame and identity are much more noble than a president like me." ”
"Mr. President, this is not right, you are the president elected by the Iraqi people, the hearts of the Iraqi people, and I am only an Iraqi citizen, how can I compare with you."
When you see people, you talk about people, you don't tell lies in front of real people, and you don't tell the truth in front of fake people.
How can Cai Ruichen not understand these truths, although the expression on Hafez's face is well concealed, behind the smile of the politician, the hypocritical appearance is clearly seen by him.
For such a person, there is really no need for him to say anything truthful, and a few words of deliberate flattery can be regarded as giving the other party enough face.
Sure enough, hearing Cai Ruichen's words, Hafez was still very useful, and after signaling Cai Ruichen to sit down, he immediately sat on the side and said: "Dr. Cai, you and I meet today, I have prepared a banquet, please don't refuse my sincerity." ”
"Thank you, Mr. President, for your hospitality, then I won't refuse." Cai Ruichen did not refuse, but he didn't bother to continue to talk to the other party about these things, and after being polite, he also went straight to the point and said: "Mr. President, I came here this time to negotiate with the government about leasing a piece of land in the southern coastal area. ”
When Hafez heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "Oh, I don't know what Dr. Cai is planning to lease the land for?" ”
"Build a shipyard." Cai Ruichen didn't hide it, and said it directly.
When Hafiz heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "I don't know what place Dr. Cai has his eye on and how much area he plans to rent?" ”
"The location is right next to Basra, and the leased land covers an area of about 30 square kilometres along the coast of the bay south of Basra." Cai Ruichen said.
"Is such a huge area too big if it's just a shipyard?" When Hafez heard this, he became even calmer and asked.
"Because we will not only build shipyards, but also build all kinds of supporting factories, after all, you also know that the shipbuilding industry needs a lot of supporting industries, if there is no rest of the supporting industries, it is impossible for us to build small sampans!" Cai Ruichen explained.
"In this way, 30 square kilometers is not very large, but can I know how large the shipyard is planned to be built." Hafez asked.
"In my opinion, if you don't do it, you won't do it, if you want to do it, you have to do your best, and the shipyard we built will be a world-class shipyard, and we know that during the Saddam period, Iraq's original shipbuilding industry was destroyed by the U.S. military, and it has not been restored."
Speaking of this, Cai Ruichen glanced at Hafez's face and continued: "If our shipyard is built, won't it be equivalent to helping Iraq restore the field of independent shipbuilding? ”
"Is it possible to build a 10,000-ton cargo ship?" Hafez asked with some emotion.
"That's the bare minimum, and we've already set up a shipping company that will need a lot of ocean-going vessels in the future, so from the very beginning we set our sights on what the future holds." Cai Ruichen said.
"Is it possible to build warships?" Thinking of the various developments of the Future Technology Group in the military field, Hafez couldn't help but ask. (To be continued.) )
