Chapter 399: Exotic Style
The next day, Li Zitao woke up early, the rough quilt and the somewhat hard bed made him uncomfortable who was used to enjoying himself.
"No wonder it is always said that it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. I am not used to it." Li Zitao shook his head with a wry smile, and went to the bathroom for a simple wash.
"Good morning, boss." Ava got up from the bed.
Yawning sleepily, the thin pajamas can barely cover the thighs, and the wind blows the hem of the clothes when she walks, the looming temptation is very charming.
"Oh, BOSS." She, who was going to wash up, was picked up from behind, spun and knelt on the side of the bed, panting heavily.
Morning exercise is a good exercise, which can keep a clear mind and a beautiful mood, and truly achieve "a good day starts in the morning." '
After breakfast, the camel carriage had already stopped at the door. Li Zitao took Ava into the carriage and went to the 'Royal Palace' to participate in the negotiations.
The word 'royal palace' is only because it is the place where the emir lives, but it is actually a larger stone villa with the architectural style of ancient Rome.
"Emil." Seeing Emil in the living room, everyone was sitting cross-legged on cushions in the open space next to the fireplace, with this small coffee table in front of them.
"Taste our tea." Emil raised his hand, and the woman next to her, covered in a black robe and her eyes covered with black veil, stepped forward and knelt down in front of the small coffee table to pour tea.
The color is black tea, yes, but then milk and sugar are added, and a piece of lemon is added to it.
Sweet, bitter, spicy is not so spicy. While Emil raised his glass, Li Zitao also raised his glass and took a sip. The taste was not bad, but it was not to his liking.
He still prefers the original taste of tea, and this kind of 'modulation' tastes a bit like milk tea, which is not his style.
"Did your discussion come to a conclusion?" Putting down his teacup, Li Zitao started talking about business.
"Yes, Qatar will set up an oil company and an international port company with 30 years of management rights. Qatar will enter the board of directors and occupy 40% of the voting rights."
Hearing Emir's words, Li Zitao showed a sarcastic smile frivolously, the international port company's tone is really big.
"10% voting rights, 70 years." Li Zitao said unhurriedly.
"Impossible, you are robbing." The chief sitting opposite him was about to stand up excitedly, as if he wanted to come and fight him.
"Your Excellency Charlie, we are very sincere in cooperating with you, but please also show your sincerity. You have taken away Qatar's 70-year survey and mining rights, and now you even want to take away our trading port?"
The emir narrowed his eyes and said in a threatening tone: "I don't think the people of Qatar will agree."
"Is it because the people don't agree, or you don't agree?" Li Zitao propped up one leg, propped himself up on the spot with his hands, and smiled casually; "Are you planning to distribute the shares to the people? If so, I will seriously consider it."
"We control the country, and we represent the people." Amir said solemnly.
"Look, that's enough. Since you are the representatives, what does it have to do with the people?" Sitting up, Li Zitao sneered, "Don't forget your situation."
"The British can't control us forever." The chief sitting next to Li Zitao suddenly said.
"Oh?" Frowning, Li Zitao sarcastically said, "Why don't you drive it out, and I'll talk to you about cooperation?"
"You..." The other party pointed at Li Zitao, blushing instantly.
"Or I should go directly to London and discuss with His Royal Highness George V about ceding land and building a dock. Don't doubt my strength."
Wanting to get a white wolf from him empty-handed, hehe, I'm afraid I haven't woken up yet!
70 years of management and operation rights, there is no room for negotiation. As for the seats on the board of directors, there is no problem, but the shares cannot exceed 20%.
Li Zitao had to protect his own interests. Who knew if they would frantically tear up the agreement and directly nationalize the port when they drove the British away.
He wants to maintain a good relationship with the chief family,
To ensure that future investments will not suffer any loss.
But first of all, he must be responsible for the funds invested, whether it is the exploitation of gas fields or the construction of ports, this is not a small sum.
If he gave up too many benefits, and the other party turned his back on him in the future, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his army?
You come and I bargain, Li Zitao is not polite at all when he speaks, and whoever dares to come up will be red-faced and thick-necked.
Only when Emil spoke, he would answer after serious consideration.
These people are just making jokes, and the real decision is still made by the emir. As for their conditions, they must be very aware of their own situation.
"Amir, I don't have time to waste here. Tomorrow I will fly to Indonesia to discuss the copper mine acquisition with the Indonesian Minister of Energy.
70 years, 18%, occupying 2 board seats, this is my last sincerity, otherwise, I will choose to cooperate with the British. "
Hearing what Li Zitao said, Amir lowered his head and thought seriously, while the other chiefs were waiting for his decision.
This condition is somewhat different from what they estimated, but it is not very big.
Some people want to agree, and some people feel dissatisfied and think that Li Zitao is too greedy, but in the end, they are not the ones who decide what to do.
"19." Emir raised his head, looked at him with deep eyes and said; "Your Excellency, the Sani family will remember your help, and the people of Allah will never forget their friends."
"..." Talk about business, just talk about business, don't keep doing this, okay?
Whether the friendship of the Sani family is worth 1% or not, the answer is yes, Li Zitao stretched out his hand and smiled heartily: "Deal."
"Thank you, my friend." Emil took his hand, pressed the other hand on the back of his hand, and shook it hard.
"Haha, is the food ready? Serve it up quickly, I'm so hungry that I can't wait." After the business talk, the domineering atmosphere of Huanjian Zhang became lively in an instant.
The whole plate was served by camels, served by 6 young men on a silver plate and placed in the middle, and there were other roasted lamb, roasted chicken, melon and fruit, and flatbread served on exquisite plates.
Those are real flatbreads, each as big as a carpet, with various slices of meat cut out with a knife and spread on top, followed by melons and fruits, and vegetables mixed with sauce.
Roll it into a "pancake" about 60 cm long, then cut it into small pieces with a knife, and divide it into each person's plate.
Drinking milk tea and eating pancakes, a woman in a red fringed gauze dress appeared in the field.
The red-backed golden bra on the upper body and the tight chest look fierce, and the fringed skirt on the lower body exposes two smooth long legs.
Under the thin net gauze on the face, the looming appearance is fascinating.
The classic and pure belly dance, exotic music and atmosphere made Li Zitao whet his appetite.
So when the banquet ended and the Emil invited him to stay overnight, Li Zitao took advantage of the situation and agreed.
At night, a charming and beautiful belly dancer appeared in his room, and unexpectedly performed a hot dance for him.
Under Li Zitao's guidance, her understanding of twerk dance improved rapidly, which also made him spend an unforgettable night in this foreign country.
