Chapter 821 One Worker's Salary Worth Five Chinese Workers
Chapter 821 One worker’s salary is equivalent to the expenses of five Chinese workers
"When is the best time for me to talk to him?" Rahman asked. The old king hesitated after hearing this.
"The day after tomorrow"
"After all, Gao Jin is the richest man in the world and a person of status. I will host a dinner for him the day after tomorrow."
"Let me talk to him by the way."
"Hire a force from him to be your back-up!"
The old king said this with a serious expression on his face. Even though the old king supported Rahman behind his back, the country was still unstable, and there were still several groups of people supported by foreign forces who were doing things secretly.
At this moment, the old king and Rahman are facing a lot of external pressure and have received many warnings!
If it hadn't been like this, with the old king's strong tactics, he would have wiped out all those people long ago.
Rahman nodded seriously and agreed to his father's arrangement. After the two discussed for a while, Rahman left the palace and started to do other things.
Time passed slowly, and in the evening, Rahman's assistant Balu came to see Gao Jin again, handed over an invitation from the old king, and invited Gao Jin to attend a banquet at the palace at seven o'clock tomorrow evening.
Gao Jin agreed immediately and took the invitation.
Tonight, Gao Jin is very solid, and holding Sonia's fragrant body is very sweet.
The moon disappeared and the sun came out. As usual, Gao Jin got up early and went to the gym to exercise. Although Gao Jin insisted on exercising, he didn't have big muscles on his body.
The body is very well-proportioned, the right amount of muscles gives Gao Jin enough explosive power, and the overall coordination is very good.
At noon, the flight taken by Hyde Hill and Nils had arrived in Sola City. Security Captain Zola sent people to drive to the airport to pick up Hyde Hill and check into the hotel where the security team was stationed.
Just rest today and see Gao Jin tomorrow.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Jingquan, the president of Starlight Agriculture Group, also arrived on the plane, and was arranged by Zola to settle next door to Hyde Hill. Likewise, he would meet Gao Jin tomorrow.
In the evening, Gao Jin was dressed in a formal suit, and Sonia was dressed in an evening dress. They accompanied Gao Jin and left the hotel in a special car sent by the palace.
Today's dinner was a family banquet. The old king, Rahman, the princess, Rahman's two wives, and several third-generation princes were all there.
When Gao Jin and Sonia arrived, Rahman stood up to greet them, and after Gao Jin and Sonia entered the palace, he asked his princess to accompany Sonia to talk.
He took Gao Jin to the old king's study to talk.
Frankly speaking, both the old king and Rahman were a little unhappy with Gao Jin. They all knew about the news that Haider Hill and Fang Jingquan had arrived in Sora.
In the study, the three of them were puffing away smoke and smoking hookah, an Arabic style. This is one of the highest-level Arab customs for entertaining distinguished guests.
"Do you think we will definitely cooperate with you?" The old king looked at Gao Jin and said this.
"The world is like purgatory, and you and I are just people struggling in purgatory."
"Time waits for no one, we can only join hands and move forward to create a new world!"
Gao Jin said this with emotion, and the old king nodded slowly. Unexpectedly, Gao Jin had seen through this. No wonder Gao Jin could bring the Xingling Group to such a height.
When the old king was young, he was a powerful man who rode a camel and wielded a sword. He followed his father on the battlefield. Without this ability, he would not have been able to hold on to the huge kingdom created by his father.
I understand the meaning of Gao Jin's words very well.
"Does the Xingling Group already have mature technology?" the old king asked again.
“It would be a lie to say there isn’t.”
"It can only be that the technology is still a bit immature and the cost is difficult to control. I believe that with another year or so of research and development, we can break through this problem."
"Those people have blocked the relevant technologies so far that it is difficult to find information if you want to learn from them."
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly. This time, the old king and Rahman also shook their heads, agreeing with Gao Jin's words. Those people were really good at blocking the technology in this area.
"Do you think Rahman can succeed?" The old king asked this question suddenly. Gao Jin was stunned, glanced at the old king, and then at Rahman.
I noticed that Rahman had a calm expression on his face, as if he already knew that his father would ask this question.
"I will not express any opinion on this matter. This is your family matter. My principle is not to interfere in anyone's family matter."
"The Xingling Group has grown to this point and is indeed capable of interfering in other people's family affairs."
"As long as I am in charge of the Protoss Group, I will never allow the Protoss Group to interfere in other people's family affairs. This is a matter of principle, and no exceptions can be made!"
"Forgive me!"
Gao Jin said this very seriously. The old king looked at Gao Jin and nodded with a smile on his face. It seemed that he was very satisfied with Gao Jin's answer.
Outside, Sonia was chatting very talkatively with Rahman's princess and the old king's princesses, bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
The princesses were very fond of such cheerful Sonia, and the old princess even gave Sonia a set of jewelry.
While Sonia was chatting, she was secretly surprised that after more than forty minutes, Gao Jin's conversation with the old king and Crown Prince Rahman actually lasted so long.
The matter discussed is definitely not an ordinary matter. If it were just a commercial negotiation, it would have been concluded long ago and it would not take such a long time.
Not only Sonia was surprised, but the princesses were also very surprised. The old king rarely talked with Rahman for such a long time.
Whenever father and son have such a long conversation, there will definitely be a shock in the country before long.
Time passed slowly for more than an hour. Rahman and Gao Jin helped the old king downstairs together. From the bottom of his heart, Gao Jin still respected the old king.
The old king was very friendly to China. As long as there was a natural disaster in China, there would never be a shortage of donations.
Money, materials, all donated, more aid than any other country.
Not only the Chinese dynasty, but also all friendly countries in the world, the old king generously donated money and aid. Internationally, the old king's reputation was very good.
The dinner began, it was very sumptuous, and everyone was chatting and laughing in harmony.
The old king only drank a glass of red wine and then stopped drinking. He switched to drinking specially prepared mineral water. Gao Jin and Rahman also drank it.
The meal lasted for more than forty minutes before Gao Jin and Sonia left.
One night passed
Early the next morning, Haider Hill, Nils, Fang Jingquan, and Zola sent security personnel to accompany them to see Gao Jin. Gao Jin invited the three of them to sit down and chat while drinking tea.
After a cup of tea, Gao Jin went straight to the topic, "Niels, how much funds can you use here, not counting the reserves."
"Boss, you can currently use 32.7 billion euros," Niels gave the accurate figure.
Starlight Bank is now an international medium-sized bank. It has established branches in many countries around the world. Every city where Starling Group is located has a branch of Starlight Bank.
All European reserve funds have been transferred to Starlight Bank, and all daily account funds are also used in Starlight Bank accounts.
Therefore, it is difficult for the outside world to know the specific funds of Xingling Group.
"Okay, this time the funds will be mobilized from your side. The funds consumed by the headquarters are too large." After Gao Jin finished speaking, he rubbed his head.
Nils laughed directly, looked at Gao Jin and said, "Boss, Director Zhou Ziru called me. All funding allocations of more than one billion must be reported."
"No allocation is allowed without the approval of the headquarters!"
"Recently, one thing Director Zhou often talks about is that the boss has gone crazy this year and started spending money randomly."
After listening to Nils' words, Gao Jin, Fang Jingquan, and Haider Hill all burst into laughter. They all knew that the Xingling Group spent a lot this year.
For Zhou Ziru to talk about Gao Jin like this, it is obvious that the financial manager of Xingling Group is a little anxious.
"He doesn't understand what money means." Gao Jin said this with a smile. Nils shrugged and made a helpless gesture. The meaning was very simple. You are the boss and you have the final say.
"Lao Fang, how much money would it take to invest in a large-scale industrialized vegetable base here?" Gao Jin turned around and asked.
"Boss, this investment will cost a lot."
"We have made plans to enter the Middle East market. We want to build a building for industrial vegetable cultivation. The cost of the building alone is twice as high as in China."
"The main reason is that the geology here is different. To build a ten-story building, the foundation cost is twice as much as before."
"We have also established an air water production system and a solar energy system. Taken together, the investment for a large-scale vegetable industrialization base is around 2.7 billion euros."
"This is just the cost of construction. The labor cost of workers here is much higher than that of other countries in Southeast Asia."
“The costs for subsequent personnel and equipment procurement are not included!”
Fang Jingquan gave clear figures. Gao Jin and others were surprised when they stopped. They didn't expect that a vegetable industrialization base would require so much investment.
"Where are the industrialized grain planting bases?" Gao Jin asked again.
"Boss, we need more of this. There are too many chances of sandstorms here. If we want to build a food planting base, we must first establish enough sand-fixing and sand-proof forest land."
"At the same time, we also need to transform the soil. Without a year, it will be difficult to transform the soil suitable for planting."
"This is what we are like. If it were any other company, it would be difficult for us to grow food without more than three years!"
"The minimum investment required is three billion euros. This is only the initial investment, and subsequent expenses have not been calculated!"
Fang Jingquan told the truth that these data were calculated based on actual conditions and were not blindly given. Everything is well-documented.
The price of building materials is easy to say and not expensive.
Materials such as cement can be purchased directly from Pakistan and Iran, and the prices are much lower than domestic prices.
The most critical aspect is labor cost. According to local laws, construction companies must hire a certain number of local people before they can start construction.
Moreover, these locals are not allowed to work more than eight hours a day, and the salary of one worker is equivalent to the cost of five Chinese workers.
"Hyde Hill, please record it. When negotiating with their local department, you raised all these issues."
"For the sake of efficiency, the urban construction company arranged for us and gave us the policy of dispatching workers from abroad."
"This must be fought to death"
Gao Jin turned to Heidehir and said these words, and Heidehir nodded seriously. This matter was not a big deal. There were exceptions when the kingdom was building major projects.
As long as special exceptions are given, it's not a big deal.
