Chapter 604 If Possible, Happy Cooperation

In an environment where foreign capital continues to stay out, if the Future Group from neighboring countries can be brought in to invest, it will undoubtedly be a very attractive option for Malaysia, which is eager to revive its economy. ? Lie? Wen??????????????? With the business expansion rate of the Future Group, even if you search the whole world, there may be no one.

In order to board this leaping rocket, Malaysia sent a visiting team to Singapore for the third time.

The person who came to visit this time is a prestigious member of the House of Commons in Malaysia and a consultant for the economic development of Papua Province. Although the official of the visitor this time is not as big as the previous two, this visitor is both the Malaysian government and the local government. double background. This also means that he has enough chips on his body.

In addition, this guy's name is Yu Weida, and he is also Chinese.

Chinese faces are not uncommon in Malay, but in the Malay political arena they are undoubtedly at the level of giant pandas.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen, I have admired your name for a long time."

As soon as they met, Yu Weida, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, warmly extended his hand and greeted Jiang Chen. After exchanging pleasantries, at Jiang Chen's invitation, the congressman took a seat on the sofa in the reception room. The welcome staff stepped forward and poured two cups of tea for the two.

According to the basic procedure of a diplomatic visit, he has already gone to the presidential palace to shake hands with the new president. However, when facing Jiang Chen at this moment, his demeanor and movements still seemed very reserved. Obviously, he had done enough homework before coming, and he knew that the person in front of him was the rightful owner of the new country.

"I believe that Mr. Jiang already knows the purpose of my trip. Last time, Minister Phoenix has expressed our welcome to you to invest in Malaysia." After a pause, Yu Weida looked at Jiang Chen with piercing eyes, sincerely He said, "I don't know what you are thinking about?"

"To be honest, I'm still thinking about it." Picking up his teacup and taking a sip, Jiang Chen smiled and said unhurriedly.

Yu Weida wasn't discouraged either, instead he joked with Jiang Chen. "Gu Youyun, visiting the thatched cottage three times is a sign of sincerity. We have already visited three times. Mr. Jiang will not let us return empty-handed."

That's not good.

The Future Group is doing well in New Guinea. Both the local government and the New Guinea government have "cared for" his industry. Recently, the municipal government of Port of Vanimo is discussing whether to approve the application of the 6th Marine Corps of Starlink Trading to establish a "signature base for employees" in Port of Vanimo. If the application is approved, the Star Ring Trade will be able to obtain sufficient sources of troops from New Guinea. And the longing for the new country will surely prompt many New Guineans to sign up.

After all, the less educated islanders,

If you want to move to Koro Island, where the immigration threshold is gradually increasing. There is only one way to join the army.

Jiang Chen looked at Yu Weida with a half-smile, "It seems that Mr. Yu is very familiar with the traditional culture of Huaguo."

"Of course, my ancestors were Chinese businessmen who settled in Kuala Lumpur during the Republic of China, and then moved to West Papua Province." Yu Weida said with a smile.

"Then you should know that Liu Bei promised Zhuge Liang a prime minister." After a pause, Jiang Chen leaned forward slightly, looked at him and smiled, "Then, what can you give me?"

"Mr. Jiang, you can't just look at the benefits." Yu Weida spread his hands helplessly, "After all, I represent a country. I have invited you three times, even if it is the Apple Group, we have not invited you Be so courteous."

"What was Malaysia's GDP last year?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

"US$312.7 billion." Yu Weida quickly replied.

"The market value of the Future Group is 5000 billion, and this is just a conservative estimate by Wall Street." This is only an estimate by Wall Street. If Jiang Chen's psychological price is used, this figure will have to be doubled.

"Your statement is too..." After sorting out the words in his mind, Yu Weida said with a wry smile, "It's too unreasonable."

"There's nothing unreasonable about it." Jiang Chen waved his hand, and sat upright, looking at the Malaysian MP in front of him, "I'm a businessman, whether I invest or not depends on what you can provide me."

"We have the third largest labor market in the world, and the overall economy is improving. ASEAN is currently the third power in Asia, and Malaysia is undoubtedly the leader of ASEAN. If you can come to invest in us, we are willing to provide you with loans, land, and talent recruitment Waiting for a series of conveniences..."

"But your labor costs are higher than theirs." Jiang Chen laughed, "Take the steel factory as an example, including overtime pay. Workers in New Guinea only need 750 dollars a month including overtime pay, and you don't count overtime pay The basic salary is above $800.”

"It's too unfair to only discuss the average salary level. Our country's education level is one level higher than theirs." Yu Weida explained.

But Jiang Chen obviously didn't like him.

"Is it necessary to be educated to operate the boiler? Literacy is enough." After a pause, Jiang Chen continued, "What's more, we will send at least 5 technicians to each steel factory. As long as the production guidance is done well, even if the workers receive A low level of education is completely acceptable to our group."

Yu Weida gritted his teeth secretly. He knew that if he didn't come up with some attractive proposals, I'm afraid there would be no results in this negotiation. Although the council and the local government had already handed over the price to him before coming, it was not very conducive to bargaining so early.

"Tax free for one year!"

"New Guinea gave us three years."

"Then we have three years!" Thinking of the ore order agreement between Jiangchen and Bhp Group, Yu Weida continued, "In addition, only the ports in Papua Province will be exempted from the iron, aluminum, nickel, and copper mines of the Future Group for three years. Stone import tax. As long as your investment in Malaysia exceeds US$2 billion.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help being slightly moved.

They even waived the import tax! In this way, at least 200 million U.S. dollars will be saved for the Future Group every year! At present, the Future Group is aggressively expanding its business, and its working capital is still a little tight. If he can spare this expense, he will be able to allocate the budget to other more costly projects.

However, just exempting the ore import tariff is not enough to convince Jiang Chen. Unless they can come up with more benefits...

"You almost convinced me," Jiang Chen said.

"May I know where I am wrong?"

Seeing Jiang Chen's appetite was so big, Yu Weida couldn't help feeling dissatisfied.

He has already given up all the benefits that can be offered, and if the Future Group still asks for a price and is unwilling to nod, he does not intend to continue the discussion.

"I admit that your terms are very attractive, but," Jiang Chen suddenly changed the subject, "We have invested a total of 1.7 billion U.S. dollars in industries in New Guinea, and we have an investment plan of 5 billion U.S. dollars in the future. If you gave up the initial investment of 2 billion U.S. dollars because of the policy dividend worth 200 million U.S. dollars, and you were sitting in my position, would you make such an obvious loss-making choice?"

There are still 5 billion!

Yu Weida held his breath.

He didn't pay attention to the second half of Jiang Chen's sentence, because his attention was completely attracted by the first half.

"What do you want?" Yu Weida murmured.

"Add one more condition to the conditions just now, the concession pass," Jiang Chen raised a finger, "All the trucks and employees of the Future Group can freely pass on the border road between Papua Province and New Guinea in Malaysia. Entry is required Formalities and payment of duties—”

"This is impossible!" Yu Weida exclaimed.

This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! It's not just about tariffs, it's about national security! Even if the Future People Group has enough weight, it is absolutely impossible for the parliament to nod to such an absurd proposal.

But Jiang Chen didn't care so much, he smiled and stretched out his hand to him.

"If possible, happy cooperation." (To be continued.)
