Jerry took the document and flipped it over, then threw it back and said with a change of expression: "Mr. Barnett, if this is the standard, there is no need for us to continue negotiations!
Your country obviously has no sincerity!"
"This is just our country's preliminary intention. If Mr. Kane has any objections, you can raise them!
Negotiation! You put forward your conditions, and I put forward mine!
Then we can negotiate again?" Mozambique said with a smile.
“Five thousand square kilometers of forestry resource exploitation rights?
According to your country’s forest reserves, 5,000 square kilometers can produce 20 million cubic meters of wood!
When did Mozambique’s timber become so valuable?” Jerryfu asked angrily.
"Twenty million cubic meters of wood is worth 16.7 billion US dollars!"
"You are talking about the export price. Don't we need to pay taxes? There is no labor required for timber harvesting? There is no fee for transportation to the port? And there is no money for forest restoration?
If your country directly provides 20 million cubic meters of wood and promises to transport it to the port, then agree immediately without saying a word!" Jerry said, slamming the table and roaring.
"There are also mineral exploration rights!"
“Bah! What we want is exploration rights and mining rights!
What do you mean you only give us the right to survey?
We provide free services to your country and find out the mineral reserves for your country. Can you use it to attract investment?"
"So what are your company's conditions?" the Mozambican representative asked weakly.
He also knew that his conditions were a bit harsh, but negotiations were not always like this, with high demands and low prices.
"This is our condition. Please study it! If you agree, let's continue talking. If you don't agree, I will report it to the company!"
By the way, our company also has a delegation that is conducting investment negotiations with Guinea!" After finishing speaking, Jerryver turned and left the conference room.
Negotiation is never sunny, nor is it simply a verbal exchange between you and me.
In addition to swearing and fighting, slamming the table, smashing the bench, yelling, and taunting, both sides will use all means to suppress the other and strive for the initiative in the negotiation.
Barnett picked up the document and glanced at it roughly, then no longer cared about the departing Jerry and George.
He took the documents and left in a hurry with a pale face.
How could such a document be agreed to? Once agreed, it would be equivalent to giving one-tenth of the country to Hua Yu.
Jerryver's document listed the investment conditions, requiring a total of 50,000 square kilometers of land in Maputo, Tete Province, Zambezia Province and other places, including above-ground forest resource exploitation rights and underground mineral resource exploration rights.
mining rights.
These Americans are so cruel!
It is definitely difficult for the Parliament to agree to such conditions. This is simply a treaty that humiliates the country.
Barnett took back Jerry's conditions, which naturally caused a big stir.
Someone directly proposed to suspend negotiations with Hua Yu and find another partner.
Or simply take a loan from the Export-Import Bank of China to build the Zambezi Hydropower Station.
Some people even suggested that since the conditions of the Zambezi River are not ready, construction should be postponed until the time is right.
In the end, the presidential ruling party gained the upper hand and negotiated directly with the Huayu Group, bypassing Jeriver.
…
Huayu Urban Development Group.
Yu Qingyang received two representatives from Mozambique in his office.
The two representatives severely sued Jerry and both of them.
"When the two representatives of your company arrived in Mozambique, they were not in a hurry to negotiate. They hung out at the beach and bars every day, looking for beauty and happiness...
Finally, under the repeated urging of our country's negotiators, negotiations were held, but extremely unreasonable and extremely harsh conditions were put forward!
They were going to negotiate, they were just going on vacation..."
After listening to the stories of the two Mozambican representatives, Yu Qingyang smiled.
"Mr. Monena, I just took a look at the conditions proposed by your country and the conditions proposed by our representatives. I feel that there is no problem!
The conditions Mr. Monena just accused our representatives of are outrageous!
But I forgot that the conditions in your country are even more ridiculous!
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 do not feel that the conditions proposed by our representatives are harsh at all!
Mozambique has almost zero infrastructure!
Whether it is Maputo, Tete, or Zambezia Province, there is a lack of transportation facilities.
Whether I want to exploit forest resources or mineral resources in these three places, the first thing I have to solve is the transportation problem!
A road or a railway must be built!
Your country only saw that we asked for 50,000 square kilometers of land, but ignored how much our company would have to pay to transport these resources out!
In order to transport these mineral resources, do I need to build three railways to the port of Maputo and ancillary roads?
We have to invest tens of billions of dollars in development of 50,000 square kilometers. If these tens of billions of dollars are spent in Mozambique, how much GDP growth will it bring to your country? How many jobs will it provide to your country? How many jobs will it provide to your country?
How much tax? Have you calculated it?
There is also Inyaka Island. Last time you proposed that our company invest in a cultural landscape corridor in your country. I think this island is good!
In your hands, it is just an island with pristine scenery.
A small number of tourists travel there every year!
But after handing it over to our company, we will make a lot of investment to create a cultural landscape with Mozambican characteristics on the island, and we will vigorously promote and cultivate the tourism industry of Inhaca Island!
How much foreign exchange income from tourism will this bring to your country? How many people will be employed?
Mr. Monena, when we negotiate, we should not look at how much we pay, but rather how much we get!
Let’s put it this way, do you think it’s cost-effective to acquire 50,000 square kilometers of land, forest and mineral resources in exchange for Mozambique’s industrial acceleration for twenty years?” Yu Qingyang’s series of rhetorical questions confused Monena.
It seems that based on this calculation, does Mozambique take 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 in China will provide such favorable conditions!
Capitalists in Western countries will have even harsher conditions!
Okay, let’s stop here today! Mr. Monena will go back and think about it before reporting to the president of your country!
I'm waiting for your good news!" Yu Qingyang said, ending the meeting.
"Dear Mr. Yu, I heard that your country is conducting investment negotiations with the Guinean government?"
"Oh! That's true! But it's not accurate to say investment negotiations!
Our company has the mining rights to two iron mines and three bauxite mines in Guinea!
What we are conducting 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.
