Reborn Business Tycoon

Chapter 446: Emergency Landing (4) James said: "The United Nations has decided to sanction you."

After hearing this, Yao Yi sneered and said, "Sanction me? Where did you get the news?"

James said: "The British government passed the news specifically to me."

Yao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, let's discuss it before we go. Let's go up and talk about it."

As soon as Yao Yi and others sat down, the Cuban president led some senior officials to the hotel where Yao Yi was staying.

The Cuban president met Yao Yi and said: "I didn't expect Prince James to come too. This is the first time we have received a high-ranking guest like Prince James."

James smiled and said, "I'm here to see Duke Yao, so it's not an official visit. So, please don't get me wrong, Chairman. I'll leave tomorrow."

The Cuban president smiled and said: "Since we are here, let's play for a few days before we talk. Come on, I have prepared a dinner. Let's chat while eating."

Yao Yi said: "Chairman, I have some urgent matters here that I need to deal with. How about I leave tonight?"

The Cuban president said: "Duke Yao, don't be anxious. We have made a collective decision regarding your investment. So, let's have a good talk tonight and hope to sign an agreement as soon as possible. Tomorrow, I will send a plane to escort you out."

,what do you think?"

Yao Yi glanced at James, and James understood immediately. He was speechless now.

Yao Yi said: "In this way, this banquet will clear the dust for Prince James. You send economic officials to talk to me about investment. What do you think?"

The Cuban chairman smiled and said: "Haha, okay, the vice chairman will replace Prince James on my behalf. The Minister of Industry and I will discuss this investment with you directly."

Yao Yi, the President of Cuba and others came to a VIP room. Only the Wisdom Rat followed Yao Yi, while the others went to attend the banquet.

Yao Yi said: "Has the chairman already made a decision?"

The Cuban president said: "This matter still depends on how Duke Yao decides."

Yao Yi said: "I will reiterate my conditions again. First, my holding company will exclusively carry out oil exploration and development in your country, including the waters under its jurisdiction. Second, I want to own 80%

of shares.”

The Cuban president said: "We have already discussed your conditions. There is no problem with both conditions, but we want to know how much money Duke Yao wants to invest in us?"

Yao Yi thought for a while and said: "This matter requires careful calculation before we can know it."

The Cuban president said: "Estimate how much you can invest. This is very important."

Yao Yi smiled and said: "In this way, we will establish a new branch in Cuba to be responsible for oil exploration and development, as well as oil refining. How much investment does your country want?"

The Cuban president said: "We feel that such a large-scale project should require an investment of no less than 10 billion US dollars."

After Yao Yi heard this, he was immediately stunned and said: "What? Ten billion US dollars. This project can't even cost one billion US dollars. Let's not talk about other things, just talk about Canada's Juneng Oil and Gas Company. Their

The total assets are only three billion US dollars, and it not only owns a large number of oil and gas fields in Canada, but also has 10 billion barrels of oil reserves in the United States. I am afraid that it is difficult for me to accept this condition you proposed."

The Cuban president said: "I heard that Duke Yao has 1.8 trillion US dollars in cash. It's only 10 billion US dollars, which should be nothing."

Yao Yi smiled and said: "You are right, but the problem is that the entire project does not even cost one billion U.S. dollars, but you want ten billion U.S. dollars, of which U.S. dollars are a waste of funds, so this condition I

It’s impossible to accept it. I can only invest two billion U.S. dollars, but I won’t invest any more.”

Yao Yi felt a little angry and cursed in her heart: "You old cunning guy is just blackmailing me. It's so unreasonable. Although you have rich oil resources here, you won't be so cruel to me."

The Cuban president said: "Duke Yao, don't worry. I am worthy of not only oil exploration and extraction, but also oil refining and oil transportation. For example, purchasing several giant oil tankers of hundreds of thousands of tons, etc., our future business

Not only in Cuba, but also in other places, the oil company I want to establish is a large oil company, an oil company that can enter the international market, so the capital of 10 billion US dollars is not much."

In the mind of the Cuban president, a very important consideration is that through Yao Yi's large-scale contract, he can declare to the United States that the era of Cuba being subject to U.S. economic sanctions should be over.

However, in Yao Yi's mind, the main consideration is commercial interests. The two people have different considerations. One is dominated by political power, and the other is dominated by economic benefits. They are not the same concept at all.

At this time, the wise mouse whispered a few words in Yao Yi's ear.

Yao Yi said: "In this way, if I have to invest 10 billion U.S. dollars, I will invest 2 billion U.S. dollars in oil, and the remaining 8 billion U.S. dollars, allow me to invest in your mineral resources."

At this time, the Cuban President and the Minister of Industry were a little surprised.

Obviously, just now the Smart Mouse thought that Yao Yi had brought up the matter of investing in minerals. Cuba is a country rich in mineral resources, mainly nickel, cobalt, and chromium, as well as manganese, copper, etc. The cobalt mineral reserves are 800,000 tons, and nickel reserves are 800,000 tons.

The reserves are 14.6 million tons and 2 million tons of chromium. In addition, there is zeolite, whose reserves are estimated to be 3 billion tons, second only to the United States and the Soviet Union.

The Cuban president said: "Our mineral resources are the foundation of our country. We cannot cooperate with others so easily. Besides, we have not talked about mineral resources before, so don't talk about minerals in this matter."

Resources have been invested, and we are only talking about oil resources."

Yao Yi said: "If this is the case, I can only invest two billion US dollars. This is my upper limit."

The Minister of Industry said: "In fact, Duke Yao can also invest in our tourism resources."

Yao Yi thought to herself: "I don't have the funds to develop the tourism resources in my own private territory. I am sick if I come here to develop tourism resources. Besides, tourism resources are not strategic resources. Investing in the tourism industry is simply a waste of money for me."

funds.”

Yao Yi said with a smile: "As the chairman said, I have not considered investment in tourism resources, so today we will only talk about oil investment."

The Cuban President and the Minister of Industry looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to face it.

The two of them muttered and discussed a few words. They thought Yao Yi couldn't hear them, but Yao Yi could hear them clearly because Yao Yi's ears were more sensitive than Shunfeng's ears.

Yao Yi immediately understood their psychology, and saw that the deadlocked situation was quickly reversed.
