Chapter 616 Investment Negotiation
Jeff took the document and turned it over, then threw it back, and said with a change of color: "Mr. Barnett, if this standard is the case, there is no need for us to continue negotiating!
Your country is obviously without sincerity! "

"This is only our country's initial intention, Mr. Kane can raise any objections!

Negotiate!It's not that you mention your conditions, I raise mine!

Then we can negotiate again? " Mozambique said with a smile.

"[-] square kilometers of forestry resource exploitation rights?

According to your country's forest reserves, 2000 square kilometers can produce [-] million cubic meters of wood!
When did timber in Mozambique become so valuable? " Jeffrey asked angrily.

"2000 million cubic meters of wood is worth [-] billion U.S. dollars!"

"You're talking about the export price. Don't we need to pay taxes? No manual labor is required for logging? No cost for transporting to the port? And no money for forest restoration?

If your country directly provides 2000 million cubic meters of timber and promises to transport it to the port, then without further ado, agree immediately! "Jerry Fu slapped the table angrily.

"There are also mineral exploration rights!"

"Damn! What we want are exploration rights and mining rights!

You only give survey rights, what do you mean?
We provide free services for your country and find out the mineral reserves for your country. Can you use them to attract investment? "

"Then what are the conditions of your company?" the representative of Mozambique asked weakly.

He also knows that his conditions are a bit harsh, but not all negotiations are like this, asking for prices all over the place, and bargaining on the ground.

"This is our condition. Your country should study it! If you agree, let's continue the discussion. If you don't agree, I will report it to the company!

By the way, our company also has a delegation that is negotiating investment with Guinea! After Jeff finished speaking, he turned and left the meeting room.

Negotiation is never a sunny day, nor is it simply a verbal confrontation between you and me.

In addition to verbal abuse and fighting, slapping tables, smashing benches, howling, and mocking, both sides will use all means to suppress each other and gain the initiative in negotiations.

Barnett picked up the document and glanced at it briefly, but he could no longer care about Jeffrey and George who left.

Holding the documents, he hurriedly left with a pale face.

How could such a document be agreed? Once agreed, it would be equivalent to giving Hua Yu one-tenth of the country.

Jeffrey’s document lists the investment conditions, requiring Maputo, Tete Province, Zambézia Province and other places, a total of [-] square kilometers of land, including above-ground forest resource exploitation rights, underground mineral resource exploration rights, mining rights.

These Yankees are really ruthless!

Such a condition is definitely not easy for the parliament to agree to. This is simply a treaty that humiliates the country.

Barnett took back Jeffrey's conditions, which naturally caused a great uproar.

Someone directly proposed to suspend the negotiation with Huayu and find another partner.

Or simply build the Zambezi Hydropower Station with a loan from the Export-Import Bank of China.

Some people even suggested that since the conditions for the Zambezi River are not ready, the construction of the Zambezi River should be postponed until the time is right.

In the end, the ruling party sent by the president prevailed, bypassing Jeffrey and directly negotiating with Huayu Group.

……

Huayu Urban Development Group.

Yu Qingyang received two representatives from Mozambique in his office.

The two representatives sued Jeffrey severely.

"The two representatives of your company, when they arrived in Mozambique, they were not in a hurry to negotiate. They lingered on the beach, bars, looking for beauty and joy every day...

Finally, under the repeated urging of our negotiators, the negotiations were carried out, but extremely unreasonable and extremely harsh conditions were proposed!
They were going to negotiate, it was like going on vacation..."

After listening to the narration of the two representatives from Mozambique, Yu Qingyang smiled.

"Mr. Monena, I just took a look at the conditions proposed by your country and the conditions proposed by our representative. I feel that there is no problem!
Just now Mr. Monena accused our representatives of outrageous conditions!

But I forgot that the conditions in your country are even more absurd!
According to the conditions proposed by your country, our company will not invest, but will help the poor and do charity!
In addition, Mr. Monena, with all due respect, I don't feel that the conditions proposed by our representative are harsh!

Mozambique has almost zero infrastructure!
Whether it is Maputo, Tete, or Zambezia Province, there is a lack of transportation facilities.

I want to be in these three places, whether it is mining forest resources or mineral resources, the first thing to solve is the transportation problem!
It is bound to build roads or railways!
Your country only saw our request for [-] square kilometers of land, but ignored how much our company will have to pay to transport these resources out!
In order to transport these mineral resources, do I need to build three railways leading to the port of Maputo, as well as auxiliary roads?
We need to invest tens of billions of dollars in the development of [-] square kilometers. The tens of billions of dollars are spent in Mozambique. How much GDP growth will it bring to your country?How many jobs will be provided for your country, and how much tax revenue will be increased for your country?Have you ever done the math?

And Ignaca Island, last time you proposed to let my company invest in the cultural landscape corridor in your country, I think this island is not bad!

In the hands of your country, it is just an island with a pristine scenery.

Every year a small number of tourists go to travel!

But after handing it over to our company, we will make a lot of investment to create a cultural landscape with Mozambique characteristics on the island, and will vigorously promote and cultivate the tourism industry of Inhaca Island!
How much tourism foreign exchange income will this bring to your country?How many people are employed?
Mr. Monena, we negotiate not by how much we pay, but by how much we get!

Let's put it this way, 20 square kilometers of land, forests and mineral resources, in exchange for [-] years of industrial acceleration in Mozambique, do you think it is worthwhile? "Yu Qingyang's series of rhetorical questions made Monena confused.

It seems like this calculation, or Mozambique took advantage?

"Mr. Monena, I know that some people in your country are closer to Western countries!
However, what I want to say is that only we, China, will give such favorable conditions!
For capitalists in Western countries, their conditions will be even harsher!

Well, let's get here first today!Mr. Monena, go back and think about it, and then report to the president of your country!
I am waiting for your good news! After Yu Qingyang finished speaking, the meeting ended.

"Honorable Mr. Yu, I heard that your country is negotiating investment with the Guinean government?"

"Oh! There is such a thing! But the investment negotiation is not accurate enough!
Our company has two iron mines and three bauxite mining rights in Guinea!

What we are doing with Guinea is to continue to increase investment negotiations!

You know, Guinea is also very rich in forest resources! "Yu Qingyang responded with a smile.
