Chapter 275: I have never seen such a brazen person asking for various things)
"Access fee?" Eli Cohen's expression gradually turned cold upon hearing this, but his good qualities allowed him to ask gently: "How much is needed?"
Ye Hua faintly extended his hand, and upon seeing this, Eli Cohen asked tentatively: "50 million US dollars?"
Ye Hua's expression froze. Eli Cohen coughed lightly when he saw this. Well, 50 million US dollars was a bit too much. Saying this amount in front of Coastline Company felt like sending a beggar away. No wonder Ye Hua's expression gradually froze.
"500 million U.S. dollars?" Eli Cohen asked again, thinking that 500 million U.S. dollars was still acceptable, but he also felt uncomfortable. Alas, if the country's scientific research can achieve breakthroughs, why spend such a large amount of money?
At this moment, Ye Hua corrected him and said: "5 billion US dollars!"
As soon as these words came out, Eli Cohen almost slid from the sofa to the floor. Suddenly, the business delegation behind him became angry. No matter how well-educated they were, it was difficult to maintain after hearing this number.
It's just an unabashed robbery. The key is that you have to pay water fees in the future. Every ton of desalinated water will cost money as long as it is supplied from Dolphin International Water, and the other party's water is pumped directly from the Mediterranean.
The more I think about it, the more unbalanced I feel.
Eli Cohen's face twitched and said: "With all due respect to Mr. Ye, this is too unreasonable. We don't have that much money and we can't accept it. No one will accept such a rude request."
No one accepts it?
Ye Hua immediately said: "Hey, you are wrong, Mr. Cohen. To tell you the truth, in the US$18.5 billion contract that our company reached with Dubai not long ago, guess how much the access fee was? Okay.
No need to guess, I'll tell you directly... 11.5 billion US dollars!"
"..."
Eli Cohen was speechless, and the entire business group was speechless. They cursed in their hearts that these Arabs are all super rich. They give away money so happily. You have so much money in Dubai that you have nowhere to spend it, so don’t raise the price of water.
, how do we play?
"Mr. Ye, we really can't do it with 5 billion US dollars. We can't afford that much money at all. The maximum is 1 billion US dollars. This is the limit." Eli Cohen said while bargaining, secretly scolding Hamdan for being like this in Dubai.
Stupid, I, Yisele, will not be stupid. It is obvious that the coastline will take the opportunity to kill me.
Ye Hua crossed his legs and said calmly: "You have no bargaining power, just 5 billion US dollars, the factory will be built in Ayia Napa, and the pipeline will be connected to Haifa."
After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders, which meant that if he agreed, he would do it, and if he disagreed, the discussion would break down. That was a bad idea.
"It's too much." This made Eli Cohen feel huge shame. At this moment, Ye Hua rushed to add: "5 billion U.S. dollars in exchange for the opportunity for rapid economic growth of the entire Israel. To be honest, Mr. Cohen, this
It may be the most profitable business on earth, and it would be too much to think that we are not satisfied yet. Freshwater resources are the most essential and indispensable resources for human beings and even life."
"Agricultural development requires fresh water, population growth requires fresh water, industrial development requires fresh water, and environmental improvement also requires fresh water. You have been fighting with the Arab world for so many years, and you have won and taken away a lot of territory. You could have returned the Sinai Peninsula to
Even though we are close to it, we are unwilling to return the Golan Heights to Syria, life or death, why? It’s not because of the Sea of Galilee there.”
Ye Hua said it very straightforwardly and got to the point. He talked about the pain points without any scruples, which made Eli Cohen and the others very embarrassed. However, it was not in public anyway, and the entire business group was also embarrassed.
Be true to your word.
In Israel, any politician who dares to propose the return of the Golan Heights to Syria will be scolded as "treacherous" and all futures will be ruined.
Until now, Israel would rather die than give up the Golan Heights.
Many people don't quite understand that the Sinai Peninsula guards the Suez Canal, has a much larger land area, and is in an extremely important strategic location, all of which can be easily returned.
Why do you want to fight to the end against a small Golan Heights and would rather die than let go?
The reason is just one thing, water!
The world in the Middle East is severely short of water. Water there is more expensive than oil. Everyone on earth knows this. Especially in Palestine, the water shortage is very serious. Water is the source of life and is more important than any resource.
In the occupied area of Israel, there was a lake, which was the Sea of Galilee in Ye Hua's mouth. The Arabs called it Lake Tiberias.
This lake is actually not big, with an area of only 166 square kilometers. It is a small lake in China.
However, this lake is the source of life for Iseria. It contains 800 million cubic meters of fresh water resources, which can feed more than 6 million people of Iseree. It has become the lifeblood of Iseree and the basis for its survival.
At this time, Ye Hua added when they were speechless: "You only have 800 million cubic meters of fresh water resources in the Golan Heights today, and once I, Dolphin International Water, do business with you, others will
It is said that 800 million cubic meters of fresh water will be provided, and 8 billion cubic meters is not a problem. Anyway, there is plenty of water in the Mediterranean."
What he said made all the Yiseleites present feel excited. Although Ye Hua was very venomous and his words were a bit too disrespectful, they could not refute his words even if they were rude. The key was Ye Hua's Dolphin International
Water affairs can easily provide such abundant fresh water resources for the entire Israel, so why is there any need to insist on the Golan Heights?
Of course, we will definitely continue to fight until now. If the Coastline Company solves the water crisis in Israel, then the land will be very precious and cannot be given away even an inch. Therefore, we must continue to fight for the Golan Heights.
.
It's just that Ye Hua's last words made their teeth hurt, their stomachs hurt, and their whole bodies hurt.
There is plenty of water in the Mediterranean anyway.
These words almost made Eli Cohen internally injured from anger.
At this moment, Ye Hua slapped his leg and said to himself: "So, if I only received 5 billion US dollars in this deal, wouldn't I have suffered a big loss? It was a huge loss!!"
Eli Cohen:???
The members of the business team behind him were all twitching, especially when they saw Ye Hua's expression as if he had lost all his blood to his grandma's house... Act! Keep acting! Keep acting!
I believe you as a ghost!
Ye Hua sighed with a heartbroken look on his face: "We have an old saying, if you don't have faith, you won't stand, and if you don't keep your word, you won't know the consequences. Now that I have said 5 billion US dollars, although I have suffered a big loss, my words have been spoken.
, so be it, you guys really made a profit this time!"
Eli Cohen is really holding back his internal injuries. Over the years, he has dealt with many business giants and led many business negotiations, but this is the first time he has encountered such a shameless person.
As you say this, it turns out that your Coastline Company has become the party losing blood? And he said it so plausibly. I have never seen such a shameless person.
"Mr. Ye..." Eli Cohen calmed down and said, but before he could finish his sentence, Ye Hua raised his hand to stop him: "Mr. Cohen, if you want to bargain, then there is no need for us to waste everyone's time with each other.
I also want to meet Rabia’s business team, but I left aside the Sater business team that arrived first just to meet and negotiate with you first. I don’t see the slightest sincerity in your behavior.”
I don't see any sincerity on your part either!
Eli Cohen, who was interrupted by him, was angry and cursed, but was speechless for a while. Negotiation is actually the art of compromise. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, 5 billion US dollars, access fee. But I
Party needs an additional condition.”
Ye Hua did not deny it immediately: "Tell me and listen."
Eli Cohen immediately said: "Your company must promise that it will not provide water to Xuelia and Fenceline."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Hua immediately denied it and said, "Mr. Cohen, what you said is a bit too much, very much. What right do you have to interfere with who my coastline company does business with? That's fine, if you can do it for me
If Coastline Company pays for the lost business, I can promise it. After all, there is more chaos there, and it can reduce the risk of geopolitical instability, so why not?"
