From the Island Owner to the King
574 Raising Money to Buy the Island
There were three parties who finally proposed to the Portuguese government to negotiate the purchase of the island, France, Germany and the royal family of Tortuga Island represented by Chen Rui.
March 15.
First of all, with the nod of Chen Rui, the special envoy Carlson Harry, on behalf of Chen Rui, accepted Portugal's commitment to Flores, Corvo, Monchique, and 17 islands and reefs in the northwestern Azores archipelago. The bid was $197.317 billion.
Then, two days later, on March 17.
Passed by parliament, Germany also accepted Portugal's offer, willing to pay 197.317 billion US dollars to buy the northwestern Azores islands.
Germany also wants to buy the northwestern cluster of the Azores.
You must know that although the northwestern Azores archipelago is very remote, it is more than 2,000 kilometers away from the African coastline, more than 2,500 kilometers away from Europe, and more than 3,000 kilometers away from North America. These islands also have no minerals, oil, fisheries and other resources. As for the tourism resources, it’s even more crap. No one will go to such a remote desert island to travel, or many people yearn for Robinson’s drifting life, staying on a desert island for decades, but no one Would you like to experience the life of Robinson Rafting? ! , These islands are too wild, and the population is very small, very remote, and these islands are only rarely developed.
However, the Azores has a good geographical location. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it is a relay station for sea and air routes between Europe, the United States and Africa. Many goods and aircraft from the Americas, Europe, and Africa passing through the Atlantic must pass here. 'break' in between. Get supplies. It only takes 2 hours to fly from the Azores to Lisbon, Portugal, and 4 hours to fly to Berlin, Germany. The strategic location is also very important. The U.S. military base Lajes is on the island of Terceira.
Although the location of the northwestern Azores archipelago is not as good as that of the central archipelago, the port of Heroes in the Atlantic Ocean is located in the central archipelago, and Terceira Island, where the Lajes military base is located, is also in the central archipelago. Tourist attractions They are all in the Central Islands. However, the Northwest Islands are cheaper, less than 200 billion US dollars, and there is a chance to buy them. The Central Islands can’t even buy hundreds of billions of dollars unless there is a war.
Germany can also afford to buy.
Although it is said that Germany was a failed country in World War II, it was divided into East and West Germany. It wasn't reunited until 1990, though. Germany has developed rapidly, and now it has developed into the largest economy in Europe, the fourth largest economy in the world, the third largest exporter in the world, the world's largest trading country, and the world's most influential car brands Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen and Porsche are both located in Germany.
Although Germany's economy has been traumatized by this world financial crisis, it is necessary to spend 200 billion US dollars to purchase islands to expand Germany's overseas territories.
It is still very easy to increase Germany's exclusive economic sovereign zone in the waters and build Germany's overseas military bases.
March 20.
The French government also accepted Portugal's bid.
Obviously, the French government and government also have the same goal as Germany.
The two most important values of the northwestern Azores archipelago, the territorial sea and the sovereignty of the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone, and the military base.
Territorial sovereignty deals, even though they are just deserted islands, are very rare in the world, in this century.
Of course, in 2012, Japan's Noda government and the government spent 2.05 billion yen to buy the Diaoyu Islands from the so-called "land rights owners". The Diaoyu Islands have belonged to China since ancient times. China has indisputable sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands and the surrounding waters. Japan's announcement of the "purchase" of the Diaoyu Islands is just a farce. It can be regarded as a joke, but not true.
Many people around the world are paying close attention to this island purchase transaction, not only ordinary people, but also all countries are paying close attention to this island purchase transaction, who will buy Flores Island, Corvo Island and the islands, France, Germany, or Chen Rui of the local tyrant gold.
Many people clicked on Google Maps and Google Maps, moved the mouse to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and clicked on the northwestern islands of the Azores. They were very curious about the islands on the shelves.
March 22.
The world's attention to the purchase of the island did not wait for the Portuguese government to announce the final buyer of Flores, Corvo and the islands.
The purchase of the island has changed.
The Portuguese government and government put forward a constraint to France, Germany and Chen Rui to purchase the island. For the sold Flores Island, Corvo Island and the islands, the buyer must promise not to build naval bases and air bases on the islands. , submarine bases and military bases in the form, this constraint must be written in the island purchase agreement, expressly stipulated, and bound by treaty.
This immediately attracted strong protests from France, Germany, and Chen Rui. However, the Portuguese government and government did not change their minds.
In fact, the Portuguese government and government also want the deal to go smoothly, nearly 200 billion US dollars, to get the money, repay the debt, and improve the already abysmal domestic economy. Of course, the national welfare cannot be less.
However, the Portuguese government and government are under pressure from the United States.
On March 20, US Secretary of State Davis Coles flew to Lisbon by special plane and held a secret meeting with the Portuguese President.
Davis Coles transmits US opinion on Portugal's sale of Flores, Corvo and Islands.
There are only two opinions in the United States, 1, or do not sell. 2. Selling, yes, but the buyer is not allowed to build any form of military base on Flores Island, Corvo Island and the islands. This must be expressly stipulated in the island purchase agreement and bound by treaty.
Not only that, the EU countries have also sent more or less similar opinions to the Portuguese government. In a word, the buyer of the island must not build military bases on Flores Island, Corvo Island and the islands.
The opinions of the United States and EU countries are very important, because these are the creditors of Portugal, and the debt is not the uncle! ! The creditor is the master.
Hence this accident.
Military bases cannot be built. The value of these islands has shrunk considerably. Only the word 'sovereign' remains. And sovereignty over territorial waters and a 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone is worth a little more.
The main purpose of France and Germany purchasing the island is to build a military base, in the Azores, a key strategic location in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, incidental! ! Increase the exclusive economic rights and interests of the country's overseas territories and oceans.
With the treaty restricting the establishment of military bases on the island, the sovereignty of the islands of Flores, Korvo and the islands was greatly less attractive to France and Germany.
French, German. Chen Rui's party, after the unsuccessful protest against the Portuguese government and government, did not make the Portuguese government and government change their minds. That is to say, there must be one clause in the island purchase agreement, but the purchaser of the island must not be in Flores Island. Build any kind of military base on Korvo Island and the islands.
March 25.
The French government first announced a permanent freeze on the plan to 'purchase Flores, Corvo and Islands'.
Then, 3 days later.
The German government has also announced the purchase of Flores Island. Korvo Island and the Islands’ proposal is not being considered.
In the end, only the royal family of Tortuga Island was left to buy the island.
March 27.
Carlson Harry, special envoy to the King of Tortuga Island, when answering a question from a reporter from The New York Times. He replied, "The decision to purchase 'Flores Island, Corvo Island and the Islands' remains unchanged." However, Carlson Harry believes that the $197.317 billion island purchase fee is too high for Florida, which cannot build a military base. Lores Island, Corvo Island and the Islands.
When Carlson Harry replied, he deliberately emphasized the words "Flores Island, Corvo Island and Islands where military bases cannot be built".
The King's special envoy Carlson on behalf of Chen Rui responded, "The island purchase fee for Flores Island, Corvo Island and the islands must be renegotiated!!
The Portuguese government and government responded, "It can be negotiated."
The Tortuga Island side re-mapped the island area of Flores Island, Corvo Island and the islands, as well as the territorial sea, the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone area, and collected Flores Island, Corvo Island and the islands. resources, hydrology, weather, climate and fishery resources, and finally quoted to the Portuguese government and government, 147.81271 billion US dollars.
Although it is not possible to build military bases on the islands of Fu and Ke, the price will be reduced by a part, but, after all, it is a country's island sovereignty, including territorial waters and 200 nautical miles of exclusive economic zone sovereignty, the value is definitely not cheap.
Transactions between countries are not street food, you can bargain and spit,
The quotation of Tortuga Island is based on accurate surveying and mapping, and the island purchase fee calculated is accurate to '10,000' US dollars.
After negotiation between the Portuguese government and the government, it can be.
The Portuguese government and the government said that it can be done, but it still needs to be passed by the parliament before it is legal.
April 11.
The Agreement on the Sale of Flores, Corvo and Islands, was approved by the Portuguese Parliament with 73% of the votes.
At this time, the island purchase transaction officially entered the topic, and the two parties signed an agreement for filing, which is internationally binding.
Buyer, Royal Family of Tortuga Island, Seller, Government of Portugal.
In the island purchase agreement, the royal family of Tortuga Island needs to pay the Portuguese government $147.81271 billion in island purchase fees within 45 days.
After Tortuga Island paid the island purchase fee of US$147.81271 billion, the island sovereignty, territorial sea sovereignty, and 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone sovereignty of Flores Island, Corvo Island and the islands will automatically belong to Tortuga. The royal family of the island king.
Witnessed by the United Nations—
In Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, Chen Rui saw the record of the island purchase agreement in his mailbox.
$147.81271 billion! !
This is not a small number.
To be honest, he couldn't come up with that much money.
Although there are more than a dozen companies that own Rijindoujin under the name of the royal family assets, Fannie Real Estate Company, Oak Tree Publishing Company, Pyramid Film Company, MM Special Metal Metallurgy Company, Seaview Restaurant Group, Tortuga Island Tourism Company , Bolis Oil Company, Fishing Company and Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, holding some shares of hundreds of listed Internet and mobile technology companies around the world, as well as a giant-like CTE bioengineering company.
These companies are making 'doujin' every day, and perhaps using 'doujin' can no longer describe the strong profitability of these companies.
Ignoring the giant CTE Bioengineering Company, the combined assets of other companies under the name of a single royal family asset exceed trillions of dollars.
Burris Oil was valued at ** USD at the peak of the economy.
Fanlimin Real Estate is a stronger company.
Seaview Restaurant Group has opened 700 branches around the world.
MM Special Metallurgical Company, Pyramid Film Company, Fishing Company
However, having so many assets does not mean that Chen Rui can come up with so much cash.
Moreover, before the economic crisis, Chen Rui had withdrawn most of the cash reserves of more than 70 billion US dollars from these companies and invested them in the stock market. Now, it is somewhat difficult for Chen Rui to take out 147.81271 billion US dollars within 45 days.
Chen Rui contacted the Royal Assets Management Committee to ask how much money could be pumped out without affecting the normal operations of the companies.
The Royal Assets Management Committee gave Chen Rui a reply, 27 billion US dollars, if Chen Rui urgently needs it, he can also withdraw about 10 billion US dollars.
Half a year ago, more than 70 billion U.S. dollars were drawn, and now they can draw another 27 billion U.S. dollars without affecting the normal operation of each subsidiary. The profitability of these companies is very strong.
Chen Rui asked the Royal Asset Management Committee to withdraw $27 billion within a month and deposit it in the Central Bank of Tortuga Island.
Chen Rui inquired about the government and government of Tortuga Island again.
The government of Tortuga Island can repay part of the debt owed to Chen Rui within 45 days, 7.5 billion US dollars.
27 billion, 7.5 billion, that adds up to $34.5 billion.
It is still far from the $147.81271 billion in island purchase fees.
Chen Rui counted the property in his hands.
A total of 770 tons of gold are stored in the underground treasury on Tortuga Island, including part of Nazi gold, gold salvaged from shipwrecks in Spain, 200 tons of gold from Jews, 78 tons of gold from Japan, etc.
According to the current international gold price of about 240 yuan / gram.
The price of 770 tons of gold is:
1 ton = 1,000,000 grams, 240 yuan * 1,000,000 grams, it takes 240,000,000 to buy one ton of gold
, 240 million yuan.
770 tons is about 185 billion yuan, the unit of RMB is equivalent to US dollars, and the total value of 770 tons of gold is about 28 billion US dollars. (To be continued.)
PS: The first update is 4000 words.
When I go out, there may be a 2000-word update later.
Rolling and selling Mengqiu monthly pass, asking for recommendation.
The monthly pass is within 100, and I hope to stay within 100 all the time.
Hope to get support from book friends. Thanks! !
