Chapter 737 The Mozambique project officially set sail
Taking a plane to inspect forest land is basically just a quick tour of the flowers.
Looking down from the plane, all you see is lush forests.
Even if all the trees below have been cut down, it will not be visible from the plane, because this is southeastern Africa, a tropical rain forest. Even if the trees are cut down, there are still various shrubs and grass covering the ground, and there will be no north.
After the trees were cut down, the area turned yellow-brown when viewed from an airplane.
Originally, today's inspection was just a formality. There was no real inspection like sitting on a plane.
But let alone, living on a plane and enjoying the scenery outside the window is really nice.
The dense tropical rain forest is like a green ocean. When a gust of wind blows, layers of green waves appear, which is very spectacular.
When Wang Hongbo was flying to inspect, the team he brought with him was not idle and started working under the protection of security personnel.
Based on the map provided by Mozambique, we began to inspect the terrain and conduct preliminary planning and design.
The first thing to plan and design is how to connect the forest lands allocated to the company in Mozambique, such as railways and roads, and build roads in one area and railways in that area.
The staff of the technical department will have to go to the site and run it in person.
The people in the technical department of Huayu International Development Group are all capable people drawn from various subsidiaries. They are not only good at construction, but also have no problem in preliminary planning and design.
That day was only preliminary planning and design, and the specific construction drawing design still required a professional design institute.
That one is more complicated. You need to conduct geological exploration first, and then design based on the exploration data.
Wang Hongbo flew for two days to inspect, and Mozambique restarted negotiations. This time, the negotiations went smoothly. The previously mentioned 40,000 square kilometers of forest land was changed to 50,000 square kilometers.
Other exploration rights and mining rights were implemented one by one. Even if it was just a formality, everyone did not relax their vigilance. After all, if there is a problem with even a small clause, the loss would be calculated in hundreds of millions. The legal team of the legal department participated in the whole process.
Clause by clause review.
It took more than a week to come up with the final contract version.
Wang Hongbo arranged for someone to scan it and send it to Yu Qingyang's mailbox for Yu Qingyang to review.
After Yu Qingyang finished reviewing it and informed Wang Hongbo that it was ready to sign, the two parties agreed on a time, found a good day, and formally signed the investment contract.
On the day when the investment contract was officially signed, Mozambique held it very grandly, like a grand celebration.
Witnessed by the Chinese Ambassador to Mozambique, Wang Hongbo and the President of Mozambique signed and sealed the contract, and then exchanged the contract.
Then pop the champagne and celebrate...
Huayu’s investment this time is several times greater than the total foreign investment in the past few decades, and the Mozambican government attaches great importance to it.
After the formal contract was signed, the Mozambican government announced this major investment result through various channels such as television and radio.
At this time, the presidential palace has become a sea of joy.
The party to celebrate the official signing of the investment contract begins.
Groups of men and women in costumes were singing and laughing, and the Mozambicans began to sing and dance to celebrate this victory.
Mozambicans attach great importance to etiquette. Although the climate in Mozambique is relatively hot, in formal occasions, Mozambican men wear suits and ties, and women also wear formal attire.
Seeing the Mozambicans dancing heartily on the grounds of the presidential palace, and even the president coming off the stage to dance and celebrate with the staff, Wang Hongbo said he couldn't accept it.
It’s not that he doesn’t agree with this way of celebrating. On the contrary, Wang Hongbo feels that Mozambicans at this time are very cute, enthusiastic, forthright and forthright.
However, when he was asked to dance with the Mozambicans, he couldn't let go. He could only stand aside and watch them dance with a glass of wine in hand.
"Mr. Wang, why don't you go dancing? Feel the hospitality of the Mozambican people?" Li Xiangnong came over with a wine glass.
The ambassador just left the stage in person and danced with the Mozambicans to celebrate.
"Haha! Ambassador Li, it's hard for you to do this to me. I've never danced since I was so old!
When I went down, I didn’t know whether I should raise my hands or my feet.
Standing here and watching, you can still feel the enthusiasm of the Mozambican people!" Wang Hongbo and Li Xiangnong clinked their glasses.
"Just get used to it and you'll be fine! When I first came here, I was just like you and couldn't let go!
However, music can infect people. If you look at it from the side, you may feel that you can’t dance, but once you walk in, under the influence of the music, your hands and feet will dance unconsciously!”
"Next time! I hope I have the opportunity to try it in the future!" Wang Hongbo was a little moved, but still didn't have the courage to try it.
"Congratulations! In the future, you Hua Yu will become the largest foreign businessman in Mozambique!"
"Thanks!"
“The Mozambican government is really good, even though international financial organizations give Mozambique a very low credit rating.
However, according to our analysis, Mozambique’s political situation will be very stable in recent decades!
Mozambique’s social security environment is also much better than other African countries!”
"Yes, our company also made a comprehensive analysis of Mozambique's national conditions before finally deciding to invest!"
"I wish you success in your investment and a good harvest!" Li Xiangnong toasted to Wang Hongbo again to celebrate.
After the party, the President of Mozambique gave Huayu International Development Group a gift.
That is, giving Hua Yu a piece of land with an area of about 20 square kilometers and close to the sea for free.
This land was used to build Huayu China Town.
There is no free cake in the world. It may seem like it is given away for free, but in fact Mozambique has calculated it very carefully.
Land in Mozambique is very cheap. Even if you spend money to buy it, twenty square kilometers is not much money.
Moreover, if it were purchased with money, Hua Yu would definitely not buy such a large piece of land to build China Town.
Now that the Mozambican government has given Hua Yu twenty square kilometers, Hua Yu will naturally not let the land sit idle.
It will inevitably increase the construction area of Chinatown.
The commercial circulation, tax revenue, and employment opportunities brought by this time are enough to make up for the value of the land.
Of course, Hua Yu did not ask for such a large piece of land in vain. In return, Wang Hongbo, on behalf of the Hua Yu Education Fund, donated to Mozambique to build 20 primary schools, equivalent to one square kilometer for one primary school.
The President of Mozambique was so happy that he wished he could give Hua Yu another 100 square kilometers of land.
After the formal contract was signed, the second batch of personnel from Huayu International Development Group set off for Mozambique.
The second group of personnel are mainly people from the Exploration and Design Institute.
Because there is more than one field of exploration design, the second batch of people is very large, a total of 500 people.
They are the Water Conservancy and Hydropower Exploration and Design Institute, the Construction Exploration and Design Institute, the Railway Exploration and Design Institute, the Highway Exploration and Design Institute, the Garden Design Institute, and a professional geological exploration team.
