Chapter 813 Negotiation
The Chinese only know that their country is carrying out reform and opening up, and they think that China is the only country in the world that is carrying out reform and opening up.
In fact, it is not. Many countries in the world are carrying out reform and opening up.
It's just that some have succeeded and some have failed.
Like China, there is no doubt that it is successful.
Since the reform and opening up, China has achieved remarkable results and its comprehensive national strength has been significantly enhanced.
And like Tanzania, learning from China and strengthening cooperation with China, it is already a leader in reform and opening up, even if Tanzania has encountered many problems in the process of reform and opening up.
But there is no doubt that Tazania is on the right path.
This time, Hassan came to China, in addition to purchasing Type 054 frigates and loaning money to build railways, there are other infrastructure.
For example, reservoirs and hydropower stations!
Tazania has rich hydropower resources. Its main rivers are the Rufiji River (1,400 kilometers long), Pangani River, Rufu River, Wami River, etc. There are many lakes. The three largest lakes in Africa, Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa (Lake Malawi), are all on the Tanzanian border.
The entire Tasmania is very rich in hydropower resources, with a power generation potential of more than 478 million kilowatts.
The development of social economy requires more water and more electricity in Tasmania.
Even though Panshan Group has helped build reservoirs and hydropower stations in recent years, it is still not enough. Water and electricity shortages are very common in rural areas of Tasmania now, and water and electricity are limited to cities.
Relying on Tasmania alone, there is no money or technology to build reservoirs and hydropower stations, let alone water pipelines and transmission networks.
Tasmania can also look for Europe and the United States, but the price asked by Europe and the United States is much higher.
The best choice is to find Panshan Group.
Their previous cooperation was either Tanzania loaned money and asked Panshan Group to build; or Tanzania gave 99 years of operating rights in exchange for Panshan Group's investment and construction; or it was to exchange the mine!
This time, Hassan adopted the second method, giving 99 years of operating rights in exchange for Panshan Group's investment and construction.
However, Hassan also put forward a condition, that is, they want 30% of the shares.
Liu Tao knew that 30% of the shares did not belong to the country of Tazania, but to Hassan and his family.
Liu Tao could not help but show a thoughtful look.
In recent years, the reform and opening up of Tazania has also given birth to a group of people who have become rich first, and this group of people are often those who hold power. For example, Hassan's family is currently ranked first in Tazania. It took only seven years from around 30th place to the first place in Tazania.
Hassan's family's business involves energy, mines, ports, trade, media, banks, etc.
"30% of the shares are too much. You didn't pay a penny. At most, I will give you 10% of the shares!" Liu Tao shook his head and said, "We need to invest a lot of money, a lot of technical force, and we have to take very big risks."
"Eagle sauce and polar bears have always been very dissatisfied with our actions in Africa. They are not good at construction, but they are experts in destruction. Maybe Tazania will change drastically at any time." Liu Tao said.
Hassan said: "10% is too little. You know, there are many people who want to get a share of it. 10% is not enough. At least 25% is needed!"
Hassan's family naturally cannot take all the shares here at once.
Hassan's family cannot be as stable as Mount Tai if he eats too ugly. He has been overthrown long ago.
He also has allies. To make money, he must work with allies, so that his allies can support him more.
"15%, the risk is too great. You know, we are currently carrying out economic construction in China, and we also need to invest a lot of money!" Liu Tao said, "Giving you too many shares, I might as well increase construction in our country, after all, we also lack construction funds."
Liu Tao did not lie to Hassan.
China has a vast territory, and the infrastructure to be carried out is far more than that of Tanzania.
There are two highways and three high-speed railways built by Panshan Group with an investment of 300 billion yuan, as well as transportation systems built by the state and local governments.
All of these require a lot of money.
Once large-scale infrastructure construction starts, it cannot be stopped.
Because once it stops, the losses will be very large.
The two sides talked and finally agreed on the figure of 20%.
By the time everything was settled, it was already very late.
Hassan did not stay at Liu Tao's place, but went to Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. After he came to China, he was arranged to stay at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is also the main accommodation place for important foreign guests in China.
After seeing Hassan off, Liu Tao made some tea for a while.
He was willing to increase investment in Tasmania. In addition to making Tasmania a model for cooperation in Africa, another reason was that this kind of investment was a sure win and the benefits were huge.
After it was built, it would take at most a few years to recover the investment, and it would be profitable in the future.
After all, in Tasmania, it is not like in China, where electricity and water prices have guide prices and cannot be too high.
In Tasmania, these prices are all regulated by the market.
Panshan Group, which almost owns the entire Tasmanian market, is in a monopoly position, and it actually has the final say on how to set prices.
This is why Hassan and others want to get a piece of the pie, because there is huge profit margin here.
In addition to profitability, another important reason is influence.
Railways, highways, reservoirs and hydropower stations all have huge social influence, which is the key to ensure that they are invincible in Tanzania.
In addition to having mercenaries as armed protection, the most important thing is the influence of all walks of life.
Like Tanzania, it has a land area of 945,100 square kilometers, a coastline of 840 kilometers, a population of nearly 30 million, and rich natural resources. It has a very large market.
In recent years, Panshan Group has used Tanzania as its base in Africa to develop and expand in other areas.
The better Tanzania develops, the more conducive it is to the development of Panshan Group in Africa.
Tanzania and Djibouti are the two major strategic support points of Panshan Group in Africa.
Tanzania is related to the interests of Central Africa and Southern Africa.
And Djibouti is directly located at the throat of the Red Sea because of its important geographical location, which can provide supplies for warships.
As for the others, they are development, but their importance is not as great as that of Tanzania and Djibouti.
As for the Middle East, Panshan Group has a great influence in the Middle East now. It can be said that almost all parties will give some face to each other, and the cooperation between the two sides in economic and trade is getting closer and closer.
The largest customer of Panshan Group's weapons and equipment is also from the Middle East. In the civilian field, the Middle East is also a big market.
For China, the Middle East is more about energy security, and its importance is self-evident.
On the contrary, Europe and North America are more about economic and trade, education, and cultural exchanges.
