109. Lend-lease
Ye Feiyu transferred high-energy battery technology and obtained 2 billion Huaxia coins and 700 million US dollars, and now he has 1 billion Huaxia coins, and he can get another 1 billion Huaxia coins and 300 million US dollars later, but he needs to pay for the cost of the ship, and he has to find arms dealers to help transform the ship and install weapon systems.
If he gritted his teeth, he didn't fail to take out the money, but the price was too great, the island was a bit small after all, and the larger islands of Tamara and Casa were about the same.
Bolst and the old man also refused to give in, they did this, the risk is very great, maybe they will step down because of this, Ye Feiyu thinks that Igu Island is small, but they think it is very big, after all, one square kilometer, in terms of square meters, is one million square meters, if the island is renovated and built, and the shallow water area of the coast is filled, it can be expanded to more than 1.5 million square meters.
Before coming, they studied the situation on Igu Island in detail.
However, the interests can often be resolved through negotiation, and the final plan is that Ye Feiyu decides to lease the island for a period of 100 years, and pay a one-time rent for ten years when he signs the contract, and the rent for the first year is two million US dollars, and then increase the rent by three percent every year as compensation for the growth of the economic level.
In this way, in the final year, it will need about 40 million US dollars, which is at least more than 2 billion US dollars, more than double the current billion US dollars, and of course more than 2 billion in 100 years.
This is a plan acceptable to both sides.
For Ye Feiyu, in the first ten or twenty years, he only needs to pay less than 100 million US dollars, who can know what will happen in a hundred years, if Ye Feiyu does not die. Ten earths were occupied by him.
As for Borst, at least the scolding of traitors will be much reduced. It's also much easier, and maybe someone will praise them for renting out an island that doesn't work. In exchange for Guinea, a large amount of foreign exchange earnings were obtained. The concept of lend-lease and ten-lease is similar, and where can the poor Guinea figure out the difference.
However, Ye Feiyu took out 20 million US dollars for the benefit fee alone, not only for the hard work of the two Borst, but also for the expenses of other officials, the demolition of the thatched huts and shacks on the island, etc., in Guinea, the amount of bribes is already very staggering.
Rental procedures. It was unexpectedly fast for Ye Feiyu, it could be described as lightning, it was just a week, and a lease contract was placed in front of Ye Feiyu, and the terms were very loose, just like buying it to Ye Feiyu, the most important thing was that Ye Feiyu had complete autonomy over Igu Island in the past hundred years. Guinean law is not in force with respect to Igu, as is the case with the concessions of the Age of Discovery.
The reason why the speed is so fast is naturally Ye Feiyu's power of 20 million US dollars, and no Guinean official can resist this money offensive. I am afraid that if it drags on, it will be discovered by other opposition parties and make up the business. to speed up the process.
In the press release, it sounds good. The Guinean government leases uninhabited islands to its citizens for development, which can increase Guinea's fiscal revenue every year. After signing the contract, he received a one-time rent of more than $20 million for ten years, etc.
Most Guineans are numb to this, in the situation of backward transportation, backward communications, there are actually not many people who know the news, they can't even eat their stomachs, how can they care about such a thing.
In fact, there are no real long-term residents on Igu Island, and the thatched huts on the island are just rest places for fishermen to go out to sea to fish, Tamara Island and Kasa Island announced the news that Igu Island was leased to others for development, and informed fishermen that they were not allowed to go to Igu Island casually, and fishermen had three days to go to Igu Island to collect the rest materials, and it would be dismantled in three days.
Fishermen on the two nearby islands must have complained, but their advice was not effective, and officials warned them very harshly not to disturb the developers, and the government would not pay attention to any accidents on the islands.
Some of the huts on Igu Island were compensated for a hundred dollars, but nothing happened.
Renting Igu Island, Ye Feiyu started the construction of the island, but it didn't take much effort for him, the warlord leaders of Conakry carved up the feast, and the construction group they controlled was fully responsible for building the island for Ye Feiyu, anyway, the island is not to build high-rise buildings, only build three or four story houses, and build a solid basement, ordinary construction teams can do it.
The basement on the island is used by Ye Feiyu to place the light brain, using the construction standards of a large bank vault, with a three-meter-thick cement concrete outer layer, in which a large number of steel bars are added, and the safety is absolutely reliable.
The door of the secret room doesn't have any mechanism, just push it open hard, but this force is calculated according to Ye Feiyu's standard, which is a huge force of more than 6,000 catties!
One million square meters of island, the architect gave a lot of design schemes, Ye Feiyu chose the simplest one, with the light brain secret room as the center, the outside is 100,000 square meters of beast breeding area, followed by a circle of bungalows to leave a guardian warrior to live, the outermost floor, is the construction or work of the staff area on the island.
Ye Feiyu didn't reserve defense towers, bunkers or anything, and when the level was high, just go to other planes to find more advanced defensive weapons, not to mention anything else, just catch a few crocodiles from the tyrannosaurus plane and put them in the sea outside the island, even if the battleship comes to overturn.
Ye Feiyu's fourth-level orbital magnetic energy cannon, adjusted to the maximum power, is no problem sinking a battleship with one shot.
The project seems simple and not worth fighting for by warlords, but it is Ye Feiyu's reclamation project that has the greatest benefits. He planned to extend 200 meters along the coastline, build a 10-meter-high coastal wall, and treat the island as if it were a castle, leaving only two piers to go to sea, which would not only increase the area of the island, but also prevent some people who accidentally reached Igu Island.
The reclamation project is a big one, and there is not much technical level to speak of, the sea here is not deep, and there are many reefs nearby, so it is enough to transport the worthless sand and gravel to the island and pour it down. This is a giant cake worth two or three hundred million dollars, and capable warlords can take a bite, even warlords like Radilo cannot resist the strong pressure from other warlords.
The 10-year rent paid by Ye Dripper alone, as well as the cost of renovating the island, exceeded 300 million US dollars, which is enough to increase Guinea's GDP by 2%!
This is not the rate of economic growth, nor the national income, but the gross domestic product! The Guinean government signed a contract with Ye Feiyu so quickly, which is also the reason for this.
Ladilo and Ye Feiyu have always had a good relationship, and they have a history of cooperation, so they naturally got the biggest share of this cake, and they couldn't stop smiling him during this time.
The number of mercenaries under his command has not only increased by more than half, but his wealth has also doubled, which is worth the money he has saved in the past thirty years, and because of Ye Feiyu's relationship, many mercenary groups have to sell weapons to Ye Feiyu through him, and the number of his subordinates has increased and he has purchased more advanced and powerful equipment, which makes him have a stronger voice among the warlords.
Ye Feiyu sprinkled the green money without sparing money, and there were only two requirements, speed and quality.
If anyone fails to complete the task on time and with quality, a high amount of liquidated damages will be deducted. Even if some warlords are dissatisfied with Ye Feiyu, they don't dare to oppose anything, after all, now Ye Feiyu is standing behind the Guinean government, and several big warlord leaders such as Radilo have all expressed their support for Ye Feiyu.
If you have money, you are a mother, this sentence is not wrong at all, of course, this has to be built on having a strong ability to protect yourself.
The Los Islands are not far from Conakry, and it is not necessary to transport sand and gravel and building materials, etc., not only large ships, but even small fishing boats, and many fishermen do not even catch fish, and they can earn ten dollars a day by transporting sand and gravel materials to Igu Island for construction companies, which is much more than fishing, and does not have to brave the risk of wind and waves.
Small fishing boats, primitive wooden sailing boats, 1,000-ton large fishing boats, and the largest 10,000-ton giant ship, as if the crucian carp crossing the river are constantly going back and forth between Conakry and Igu Island, the power of the masses is really strong, the land on the island is leveled, and the construction of houses and reclamation works are carried out at the same time, and Igu Island can be said to be the same every day.
Borst and others, not only were not scolded, but the people also praised him for understanding the economy and being able to attract such amazing investment, and some politicians even proposed that Borst be the minister of the Ministry of Commerce.
Not only did they not care about Ye Feiyu's reclamation to increase the area of the concession, but they even proposed that Ye Feiyu increase the scale of the reclamation project, after all, this is all green money, which is very beneficial to Guinea's economic growth.
Among the advanced countries, this is incredible, but in the backward small countries, there is no such thing as a fuss, Greece in 06 years, because of the economic crisis, and even the public sale of islands, the economic situation of Guinea, I don't know how many times worse than Greece.
Russia used to sell the stupid Alaska to the United States, and a huge piece of land of 590,000 square mile was sold for $7.2 million, and some people even proposed that this piece of frozen land in the Far East, which has no value, be sold to the Americans!
In the Qing Dynasty, the territory was leased to the Europeans, which was actually no different from the current Guinea. Don't expect the people who go hungry every day, who have never seen television or telephone, and who hunt wild beasts with primitive bows and arrows, to protest against the state's lease of land for development.
When the construction of Igu Island was in full swing, Ye Feiyu established the Sky Wolf Network Company, and formed the Sky Wolf Group Company with Sky Wolf Logistics and Sky Wolf Supermarket.
On the one hand, he came to collect the second batch of high-energy battery technology transfer fees that were about to expire, and secondly, he planned to cooperate with domestic game companies and use their hands to promote his own games. (To be continued......)
