Chapter 2939 The Island Is in Hand!

The relationship between India and Pakistan is very bad, and the contradictions between them are also great.

So they are just making noise on the Internet, and it doesn't affect anything.

Qin Yibin has already told Xiao Qi that he once told the Indian management department that if they want, the goods sold to India can be produced in Pakistan, which will reduce the price of many goods by at least 15%.

But after careful consideration, the Indian department still rejected the proposal, saying that it would not consider it for the time being.

Because they are not willing to strengthen the interests of Pakistan at all, and many Indians are unwilling to use products produced in Pakistan.

Just like no matter how loud the Internet is, few Indians let Xiaoyao Mall sell Pakistani products. Indians are not willing to give up their psychological advantage over Pakistan. ——For them, Pakistan is a group of traitors, and it is not worthy to be compared with the serious descendants of India.

India is not interested, but Iran, Pakistan's neighbor on the other side, is very interested in Xiaoyao Mall.

As early as the preparations a few months ago, they asked the Chinese embassy whether they could also open Xiaoyao Mall to Iran.

The scarcity of various daily small commodities in Iran exceeds that of Pakistan, but Iran is much richer than Pakistan - digging out oil is money, and it is more popular than US dollars.

But considering the various blockades in the United States and Europe, Huaguo hesitated.

It is not a big deal for Xiaoyao Mall to enter Iran. Instead, it can use Iran and Pakistan to further develop and expand its power in South and Central Asia.

But the problem is that if one day, Iran provokes the United States and Europe again, then Xiaoyao Mall, which does business in Iran, will definitely bear the brunt. Either it will just leave the stall and leave, or it will be punished by the United States and freeze it. Deals in the world.

It may even involve Fairy Company, the parent company of Xiaoyao Mall.

The business of Xiaoyao Mall is mainly in China, the United States and Europe can't control it at all, but the business of Xiannv Company is all over the world, if it is sanctioned by Europe and the United States. Then there will definitely be a major blow.

Many countries in Europe and the United States are now making a lot of money for a Huaguo company. I am already very dissatisfied, but I can't find a good excuse to punish Fairy Company. If Xiaoyao Mall gives such a good excuse, I believe they will definitely not let it go.

It is of course important to have a good relationship with Iran, but if Fairy Company, Huaguo's brand in the smart electronics industry, suffers any damage because of this, it is even more unwilling to see Huaguo.

So this matter has not yet reached Xiao Qi's side. He was beaten back when he came to Niu Ruzheng's side.

However, there are many smart people in Huaguo, and they gave Iran a suggestion, that is, let Iran purchase through Huaguo's joint venture factory in Pakistan-not directly purchasing through Xiaoyao Mall, so that this trouble can be avoided. As for the price and quality, Xiaoyao Mall still checks it, but Xiaoyao Mall pretends not to see it. This is rare and confused, and Europe and America can't say anything.

Of course. This matter can only be carried out after negotiations between China and the United States have been completed, and Iran has taken advantage of the situation and proposed not to conduct those experiments. Now they are still being sanctioned, and even Pakistan dare not sell them secretly. Not to mention a joint venture company with a Huaguo background.

Xiaoyao Mall is presided over by Qin Yibin. He is very unimpressed with matters involving the interests of countries, but since the big boss has decided to listen to his opinions, he can only obey.

At that time, he will have to talk to a group of suppliers in Pakistan to explain how he can not offend others on both sides and still make money.

This was another matter that tested him very much, leaving Qin Yibin quite speechless.

Xiao Qi is naturally very happy to be able to hand over the work to capable subordinates.

Happy Mall in Pakistan is booming. It is an obvious thing, of course Xiao Qi will not be worried.

What he cared about these days. It's still a matter of selling islands in Greece.

Entrusted by Xiao Qi, Credit Suisse First Boston Bank has been negotiating with the Greek government since August. After almost two months of negotiations, they have finally reached a consensus.

Previously, the Greek government was unaware of the seriousness of the debt crisis and the monetary tightening policy of the world's richest people, so it quoted an unrealistically high price.

By June and July, they have become very practical, and the price has been reduced by more than 60% compared with before, but there are still not many people to buy.

Because buying an island does not mean that everything is OK after you buy it. There are also various subsequent transformations, supplies of various materials, etc., which require a lot of money to invest.

After careful calculation, the cost of purchasing an island only accounts for about 30% of the total cost, or even less, so everyone is very cautious about this kind of small island, even if the price is greatly reduced, it is impossible to flock to buy it.

Now the Greek government is in a bit of a rut. Seeing that all kinds of debts are constantly due, the aid given by the European Union is only a drop in the bucket, not enough at all. If they sell some valuable things in exchange for money to repay the debts, The entire Greek government will be finished, and Greece will be taken over by creditors, making this ancient civilization a joke.

Credit Suisse First Boston Bank, which intervened in the negotiations at this time, undoubtedly became their guest of honor.

Especially when Xiao Qi was represented by Credit Suisse First Boston Bank, the Greek government paid more attention to this eyeball effect.

As long as it's something bought by the world's richest man, it won't be bad.

I believe that once the business is negotiated, many buyers who have scruples will also act one after another and come to buy the island.

They were impatient, but Credit Suisse First Boston Bank was not in a hurry. It was just grinding little by little, grinding the price of the island, and grinding various tax policies.

At the beginning of October, the Greek government finally reached the bottom line, and it was impossible to make any further concessions. Only then did Credit Suisse First Boston tell Xiao Qi the results of their negotiations.

There are 126 large and small islands with a total area of ​​more than 9,200 mu, but the price is only 2.5 billion US dollars, which is 500 million US dollars less than the first quotation from the Greek government.

The most important thing is not the direct price of the island, but the tax rate of the island.

Generally speaking, according to international practice, an island property tax of 5% should be paid every year. Credit Suisse First Boston Bank finally negotiated 2.3%, and in 50 years, the island was calculated according to the purchase price Tax rate, after 50 years, the price will not exceed 200% of the original purchase price at most.

This has saved Xiao Qi a lot of expenses, at least 80 million US dollars per year, and the calculation base price will remain unchanged for 50 years, and it will save Xiao Qi more than 2 billion in total.

Therefore, after the deal was signed, Xiao Qi directly gave Credit Suisse First Boston a huge remuneration of 320 million US dollars, which is not an exaggeration.

However, although this part of the funds has been saved a lot, Xiao Qi still needs to invest at least 10 billion U.S. dollars to develop these islands, and the annual maintenance cost is calculated at more than 1 billion U.S. dollars.

And most of the money will fall on Greek companies, so it's no wonder that the Greek government has no idea of ​​being taken advantage of, but smiles from ear to ear.

With such great good news, the Greek government can't help it.

They told the media before signing the contract. When the signing was signed, more than 100 reporters from all over the world gathered around, and they didn't know how many were childcare arranged by them.

Fortunately, the representative who signed the contract was a person from Credit Suisse First Boston Bank. Otherwise, Zhou Bo would not be able to cope with so many reporters who risked various national languages.

Everyone's eyes are on why Xiao Qi bought so many islands.

Calculated, the island is very cheap, but the overall maintenance cost is very expensive. The maintenance cost of more than one billion US dollars a year is not a small sum!

If there are not enough customers, it would be too extravagant to just use it for Xiao Qi’s family—well, actually thinking about it, it would definitely not be possible. If Xiao Qi used it alone, then he would buy one at most. A large island of one square kilometer will do, and it is possible to buy 126 islands.

So everyone knows that Xiao Qi must be preparing for a vacation in the Mediterranean Sea.

Although the tourist wave of Chinese tourists has been very hot in recent years, they still have some doubts that these Mediterranean islands can maintain their long-term prosperity.

After all, from previous experience, Greece is full of resort islands, but the money has not been seen to be earned. Whenever there is any trouble, it will completely come to a standstill, which can be described as very fragile.

They think that although Chinese people are rich now, they are still inferior to Europeans, and even Europeans cannot handle the financial crisis, let alone Chinese people.

In this regard, Credit Suisse First Boston Bank kept silent, but instead made the reporters feel even more itchy, wanting to know exactly what Xiao Qi would do.

The Greek government would not tell the reporters that one of the conditions for Xiao Qi to buy these islands is that the Greek government should issue the most convenient visas for Chinese tourists who come to these islands for vacation.

Basically, as long as the most basic review is passed, the Greek government must issue a tourist visa without any reason.

The Greek government has no objection to this either. They not only hope that Chinese tourists will travel to the islands, but also hope that they will travel on land in Greece, which will bring them more income.

For the now poor and crazy Greek government, tourism is their most anticipated financial subsidy! (to be continued ~^~)
