Reborn American Giants

Negotiation, agreement, bargaining, finally the business lawyer hired by Victor negotiated with Governor Scoon's political secretary, and the two parties initialed an agreement. Victor's Green Bay Energy Company will acquire the land in the west of Grenada Island at a cost of US$7 million.

Exclusive resource exploration rights within a designated five-nautical-mile range of offshore waters, and priority mining rights for discovered resources.

Victor was extremely satisfied with the result, and after Governor Scoon heard the news, he secretly cursed: He is really a prodigal, throwing money into the sea.

Governor Scoon feels that if you want to successfully explore for resources in the vast ocean, the probability of success is the same as finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, the cost of exploring on the ocean is simply an astronomical figure, including the cost of renting an exploration ship.

It is calculated on a daily basis. The general price is US$400,000/day, and the survey

The exploration vessel provides the geological structure of the seabed. To determine whether it is of mining value, you must drill and explore, and you need to rent a mobile drilling platform. This price is more expensive, US$800,000/day, and this is only

It is the rental cost of equipment, excluding the cost of exploration team members.

It can be imagined that on the vast sea, huge expenses are spent every day, and exploration is started like this without any reference. It has no purpose or goal at all, and it is a luck-like approach. So in Scoon's view, this

He just threw the money into the water, so he privately laughed at Victor for being a "big fool". But this did not prevent him from having warm greetings with a smile on Victor's face. After all, he was the one who gave him the money.

Victor has to rush back to El Salvador. He will immediately arrange for someone to sign the formal agreement. John also knows Victor’s investment goal in Grenada, but he also feels very surprised. Victor, who has nothing to do with energy,

People suddenly want to engage in some "hell" resource exploration, which can't help but make people feel strange, but of course Victor will not explain to him that he is acting entirely according to the memory of later generations.

CIA used a C-130 transport plane to pack the remaining employees and equipment of CDC Defense Company and put them on the plane. This time, CDC Defense Company completed the task well, which made CIA start to think about some unconventional things in the future.

Can the task of facilitating the US government's intervention be left to private defense contractors such as CDC Defense Company?

Ignoring these, Victor quickly rushed back to San Salvador. Then he handed the initialed agreement to Zelda and asked him to take his people, followed by Piru to protect him, and headed to Grenada to meet with Governor Scoon.

On behalf of the interim government of Grenada, he signed a formal agreement. He valued this matter very much, otherwise he would not have personally gone to the war-torn Grenada. If he did not take advantage of the current collapse of the former regime, Green

Governor Nada is responsible for the transitional period of the interim government and won the resource exploration rights in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if Victor wants to win the exploration rights from the formal democratically elected government in the future, he still doesn’t know what price he will have to pay and how many people he will feed.

, forget about spending a lot of money, what I’m afraid of is that it will take a long time, and if the news is revealed and other large energy companies react, Victor will have no chance of winning.

What Victor wants is a time difference. After the formal agreement is signed, he can hire an oil exploration company to conduct geological exploration.

Zelda was also very concerned about the things that his boss valued, so he had to hand over the handling of nutmeg futures trading to the company's deputy manager. In the futures market, after being driven up by small fund companies, the price of nutmeg successfully increased.

to 8,124 US dollars/ton, Zelda followed Victor’s instructions and

000 US dollars, he had already begun to slowly sell out the orders in his hand. Now he just needs to continue to sell out the more than 9,000 three-month nutmeg orders owned by Green Bay Company according to the plan. He brought a batch of

The staff recruited by Green Bay Energy went to Grenada under the protection of Piru.

While Victor was dealing with these matters, Orville, the "whip" of the Christian Democratic City Council, came to the door again. He said directly to Victor: "Why haven't you seen anyone in the past few days?" Without waiting.

Victor explained, and Orville continued: "Do you know what happened these days?"

Of course Victor didn't know. He had just returned from Grenada. He had been busy with the energy company these days and had no energy to understand what was happening in the city council. His director of office, Ms. Lopez, desperately called her boss,

He just took the time to go to his congressman's office to deal with the recently accumulated documents that needed his signature. When faced with Orville's question, Victor shrugged his shoulders and said: "Seeing that you are so anxious, did Sanchez Seren call?

"

"No, it's worse than that." Orville sat directly opposite Victor. A bald middle-aged man following behind him also sat down. When Orville saw Victor's eyes, he introduced: "This is me.

It seems you haven’t met his chief of staff, Larreso Balvino.”

"Hello, Congressman Victor, I have long admired your name," Larreso politely extended his hand to Victor.

"Lareso, you don't mind if I call you that, it's also nice to meet you," Victor shook the other person's hand casually.

"You should also find a chief of staff as soon as possible who will be responsible for serving as your policy advisor and specific command of the congressman's office," Orville said to Victor.

"Let's talk about it," Victor also wanted to find a chief of staff as soon as possible, but there were too few suitable ones. He was completely uninterested in the ones who came to him through self-recommendations, and he couldn't believe the ones introduced by others. Who knows how to be introduced like this?

What kind of thoughts do those who come have? After all, Victor has a lot of secrets. With the close relationship between the chief of staff and the people he serves, many of Victor's secrets cannot be hidden from his chief of staff. Therefore, this candidate

Must be cautious.

"What did you just say?" Victor changed the subject. He asked the office assistant to bring three cups of coffee, and then asked casually.

"The Nationalist Republican Alliance group is going to propose a new bill requiring tax rebates and subsidies for export-oriented companies in San Salvador. Do you know about this?"

"Oh, this matter," Victor pondered for a moment, "I have no idea at all..."

This breath made Orville almost choke to death, and Victor said with a smile: "Okay, it's just a joke. If they want subsidies, just subsidize them. This will further stimulate the development of export-oriented enterprises.

Increasing government revenue is a good thing in the long run."

"Do you really don't understand or are you pretending not to understand?" Orville asked. Seeing Victor's confirming look, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Also, why did he talk so much to him, a political novice, "Lareso, come on

Please explain to Congressman Victor what’s going on behind this.”

"Congressman Victor, you must also know very well what our El Salvador specialty is."

"Of course, it's just coffee, sugar, some tobacco and other raw material crops. Oh, you mean..." Holding up the coffee cup in his hand, Victor said that he still knew what El Salvador's specialties were, no.

It was just "Alpine Coffee", but he quickly realized what Orville was worried about.

"Yes, it is cash crops such as coffee. The export of these materials accounts for 40% of El Salvador's export foreign trade revenue. In previous years, it contributed nearly 200 million US dollars in fiscal revenue to the government every year. However, due to the civil war in recent years

The production of coffee has dropped sharply. The main producing areas of mountain coffee in the eastern and northern mountainous areas have been destroyed by guerrillas. According to estimates from the Coffee Industry Association, this year's export volume is only about 1.5 million bags, and the government's fiscal revenue has been greatly reduced.

."

"Now the big planters behind the Nationalist Republican Alliance not only want to implement tax rebate subsidies, but also want to cancel the 15% special export tax. If this bill is passed by the San Salvador City Council, it will soon be

, the same thing will happen in the National Assembly..."

"Yes, Victor, we Christian Democrats cannot let this happen. The country's finances are already very difficult, and it is still in the midst of a war. As the ruling party, we cannot lose such a large chunk of fiscal revenue.

"Orville interrupted the introduction of his chief of staff. It would be good to have a rough understanding of these backgrounds. The main problem now is how to prevent the passage of such a bill. On this matter, the Christian Democrats, as the ruling party, have not compromised at all.

room.

"So what do you want me to do?" Victor asked directly. He knew that when Orville found him, he must want him to do something.

"The sponsor of this bill is Congressman Felicia Gasbalivian, a member of the Nationalist Republican Alliance. I need you to help me find out all his circumstances."

"No problem, I will arrange for someone to take action immediately," Victor vowed.

After sending Orville and the two away, Victor sat behind the large desk again, holding his chin with his right hand, thinking slowly. In this matter, Victor did not have any gains or losses. This matter was completely

Due to the interests between parties, as a newly minted member of the Christian Democratic Party, Victor decided to spend some energy on this matter. Even if he failed, it would be very beneficial to improving his status within the Christian Democratic Party.
