Mumon Gayoom was embarrassed, his face changed constantly, and his heart was struggling fiercely.
Xia Yu's four conditions, the first one is pros and cons. Xia Yu offered to build a city for the Maldives, but Mumon Gayoom was stupid and refused to agree.
But the second and third conditions put a lot of pressure on him.
Malé International Airport was built by the Maldives in those days, and it is a state-owned asset. If it accepts Xia Yu's capital injection, although it can quickly upgrade its level, there will definitely be domestic objections.
As for Maldives Airlines, if it also accepts capital injection and the management rights are taken away, then it can be said that the most important lifeline of Maldives to the outside world will be held by Xia Yu.
The third condition is even more difficult than the second condition. It requires the monopoly of island development in the Maldives. If this is taken away, the power of the Maldives Tourism Board will shrink by more than half.
The most important thing is that the national policy of developing tourism in the Maldives is completely tied by Xia Yu, and there is no room for manoeuvre in the future.
The fourth condition is trivial compared to the second and third conditions.
The islands of the Maldives can be bought and sold in the first place. In the strategy of developing tourism in the Maldives, there are clear terms for buying and selling islands.
There are thousands of uninhabited islands in the Maldives. If they cannot be developed, they cannot be eaten. If they can be sold to the rich, they will be able to gain the connections of the rich. This is a way to gain fame.
Although Xia Yu only mentioned some islands, there is no clear number, and no target object is selected, but in Mumon Gayoom's view, there is no problem, a good thing!
Of course, in the 21st century, the tourism industry in the Maldives has developed, and it will no longer do the permanent sale of islands to the outside world, such as selling hens that lay eggs, and it will only be rented and not sold.
After struggling for a long time, Mumon Gayoom was still unable to make a decision. After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he asked Xia Yu for advice: "Mr. Xia, could you please tell us in detail about the development concept for Maldives. Woolen cloth?"
"certainly!"
Xia Yu responded easily and said in a succinct manner: "The first is the urban complex. My Jiuding Real Estate Group is the largest real estate development company in Southeast Asia, and its infrastructure capacity is also world-class. It will be responsible for the construction and renovation of Male."
"As for electricity, transportation, etc., Xiangjiang is also operated independently by me, and my company can give Maldives the best planning."
"Retail, hotel, medical care, education, banking, etc., my corresponding companies are the best in Hong Kong, so all the supporting facilities and shops of the urban complex are readily available and I can solve all of them."
"The largest Cathay Pacific group in Southeast Asia is mine. It has the most comprehensive experience in airport operations and aviation operations, and also has the best resources. Once it connects with the Maldives, it can maximize the drainage to the Maldives."
"For tourism development, my Hong Kong Tourism Investment Group is the largest tourism investment and development company designated by the Hong Kong government. At present, it has built a number of famous scenic spots in Hong Kong, and the operations are very successful."
"So after setting up an island development and operation company in the Maldives, there is no need to worry about operational experience."
"For some high-quality islands, they will definitely be used to build five-star or even six-star hotels. My Jiuding Shangri-La Hotel Group is the largest hotel group in Southeast Asia, so you can rest assured."
"Starting from all aspects, the investment in the first phase will reach at least 500 million US dollars, which is ten times the current gross national product of your Maldives!"
"Exactly enough for the Maldives to take off."
...
Listening to Xia Yu's remarks, the doubts and worries in Mumeng Gayoom's heart gradually disappeared, and he was gradually persuaded by Xia Yu's reasons.
But he still had to go back to convince others and get them to support him.
"Mr. Xia, thank you for your notification, I agree with you in the general direction.
But I still need to go back and convince other people. "
When he said this, Momon Gayoom's attitude was very sincere.
Xia Yu nodded understandingly: "I can understand, but I have to return to Xiangjiang tomorrow. If you can give me a general answer, then I will arrange for someone to come and talk to you in detail."
Mumon Gayoom looked serious, anxious in his heart, nodded and said: "Mr. Xia, I will call them for a meeting when I go back now, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
"Mr. Xia, I won't disturb you for now."
After speaking, Mumon Gayoom stood up and prepared to leave.
Xia Yu didn't hold back, and got up to send them off.
When they reached the door, the two shook hands again, and Xia Yu smiled lightly and said: "Mr. President, if we can reach a cooperation, in addition to the Maldives government, the local needs a strong partner, and my bank can provide it if the funds are not enough. credit."
Mumon Gayoom's face changed slightly, and his smile became brighter: "Mr. Xia, I will try my best to facilitate our cooperation."
"Mr. President, I believe in your ability!"
Xia Yu smiled.
Later, after seeing Mumon Gayoom getting into the car, Xia Yu decisively turned back into the house.
"Xia Yu, how are you?"
"Did he agree?"
After entering, Xian Di just came over and asked curiously with blinking eyes.
"This kind of three-win, he will not refuse."
"Whether it's for his family or the Maldives, he has no reason to refuse, hehe."
Xia Yu said with a light smile.
"Come on, Sissi, come together, and pick which islands you like."
...
The truth is just as Xia Yu thought.
After returning, Momon Gayoom was very active in persuading others.
They do not know how the Maldives' tourism will develop in the future, nor do they know that tourism will account for 60 to 70 percent of the Maldives' gross national product, and tax revenue will account for 90 percent.
They don't even know that after more than 30 years, the gross national product of the Maldives will be 100 times as large as it is now!
Because of their ignorance, the interests in their eyes now seem insignificant in the face of Xia Yu's first investment of $500 million.
In the end, the majority agreed to let Maldives cooperate with Xia Yu.
That night, Mumon Gayoom informed Xia Yu of the news, and also tentatively asked how much Xia Yu was willing to give to the local collaborators in the Maldives.
Early the next morning, Xia Yu's Fengshen took off and flew to Xiangjiang.
At the same time, a negotiating team from Xiangjiang immediately set off for the Maldives. They had to negotiate a complete cooperation with the Maldivian government within ten days.
In fact, it took only seven days for the two sides to sign a comprehensive agreement.
First, a series of companies including Jiuding Real Estate Group jointly invested US$250 million in Male.
Second, Male International Airport accepted a capital injection of US$25 million from the Hong Kong Cathay Pacific Group, of which Cathay Pacific Group holds 51% of the shares.
Third, Maldives Airlines accepted a capital injection of US$40 million from the Hong Kong Cathay Pacific Group, and Cathay Pacific Group held 60% of the shares.
Fourth, the Maldives Island Development and Operation Company was established. The government handed over the development and operation rights of 992 islands to the Maldives Island Development and Operation Company. The Maldives government held 40% of the shares. Fifty-seven shares; Solar Investment Company invested 10 million US dollars, accounting for 3% of the shares.
Fifth, 16 islands, including Tranquility Island, Abdul Island, Candulu Island, Soneva Jani Island, Nautilus Island, and Nalado Island, will be permanently transferred to Xia Yu at a price of 10 million US dollars.
Finally, there is an additional condition, that is, Jiuding Bank will set up a branch in Maldives, and all funds will be turned over through Jiuding Bank.
After everything was negotiated, Xia Yu, who was far away in Xiangjiang, immediately asked people to remodel and design six of the sixteen private islands. His resort must be established as soon as possible.
