Chapter 2673 You really dare to think! (Happy New Year to everyone)

Igor was simply silenced.

Not to mention other things, if these projects are successful, the amount of natural gas transported to Daxia via pipeline alone will be close to 3000 million cubic meters per day.

If transportation fees were charged for such a huge volume of transportation, what a horrible amount it would be!

There are also high-speed rail ticket fees, port suspension fees, etc., which add up to an astronomical figure.

Money is one thing…

The most important thing is that if the operating rights are given to the other party, the other party will have a legitimate reason to send people to station here.

Sensitive places like ports and high-speed railways are all occupied by the other side’s troops…

What a horrible thing this is!!!

Igor coughed twice, his face not red, and said shamelessly: "Mr. Chen, what I mean is that you build the project and we will operate it."

Chen Mo didn't say anything, as Zhuge Wan'er couldn't stand her temper anymore.

"Are you kidding me? We put in money and effort to build this project, and now it's time to collect the money, and you guys are the ones doing it? Listen to yourself, is this human language? How about this, why don't you come to Daxia and set an example for us? I've lived for 20 years, and this is the first time I've seen someone talking in their sleep with their eyes open in broad daylight."

Zhuge Wan'er's eyes were rolling up to the sky.

Chen Mo gave Zhuge Wan'er a thumbs up without hesitation.

Well done!

That’s how you should scold freeloaders!

Chen Mo continued, "In fact, Mr. Xie Qin, you should be able to do the math yourself. With Daxia's demand for natural gas, we will need at least 3000 million cubic meters per day, or even more."

"Is it not too much to charge 5 cents per cubic meter for transportation? That would be nearly 60 billion Great Xia coins in transportation fees per year."

"In addition, there are the transportation costs of oil pipelines, which easily add up to more than 10 billion per year."

When Igor and others heard this number, their faces obviously turned unhappy.

Chen Mo knocked on the table and motioned for Zhuge Wan'er to continue.

Zhuge Wan'er's face fell, and she snorted, "The railway is not only for collecting ticket fees, your agricultural products and mechanical products of the Mao bears, as well as our light industrial products of Daxia, all need to be transported on this railway."

"The import and export of goods and materials between the two countries can exceed tens of millions of tons every year, or even more."

"For so much cargo, we only charge transportation fees, and we can earn tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars every year."

"So I think it's not a problem for us to pay for the infrastructure and take the operating expenses. At most, it will take decades to get our investment back. We can afford it. After all, Daxia is best at making up for the cost from other places."

After hearing what Zhuge Wan'er said, Igor and others felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit, and their faces looked extremely ugly.

They have finally realized that it is impossible to take advantage of the "benefits" of cooperation with the Bear Country and get something for free.

The assistant whispered, "Mr. Xie Qin, didn't you say that you had already taken care of Chen Mo yesterday? Why is he still so stubborn today?"

Where can Igor go to seek justice?

According to the rules of the Russian side, he has treated Chen Mo so well, no matter how the negotiations go today, Chen Mo has to give him some benefits.

Who knew that Chen Mo didn't follow the rules at all!

Thinking about what he said yesterday, he found it funny.

He also said that Chen Mo’s sense of morality is too high?

Bullshit!

Compared with other wealthy people of the same level, this guy has a higher sense of morality only when it comes to matters between men and women. In simple terms, he treats women too much like human beings.

But in other matters, this guy really has no morals at all!!!

This guy is a complete glutton. He doesn't recognize anyone after he puts on his pants!

Chen Mo smiled faintly and said, "Of course, we have other ways."

Igor's eyes lit up, revealing a hint of anticipation: "What's the solution?"

Is Chen Mo willing to give in?

Chen Mo grinned and said, "We don't need the operating fee, we can pay for the infrastructure, but can you give us the money from selling natural gas and oil?"

"??????"

Igor's mouth twitched and he almost fainted.

Good guy!

It's not enough that you want to share some meat from me, you want to take away the whole pot and the meat!!!

Igor, who looked unpleasant, coughed twice and then said, "Well, Mr. Chen, let's go out and discuss it."

"It's not a problem. We can talk about it and negotiate it. As long as it's not for free, we can do anything." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Igor and others went to another meeting room.

Soon there was a heated argument.

Chen Mo took out the provided cigarettes, threw them to the gentlemen present, lit one for himself, and smoked leisurely.

Huo Qigang stared with clear and stupid eyes and asked: "Master, since the operating costs are so high, why don't we just repair it and collect the money? You calculated the profit so clearly, so won't they repair it themselves?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "It would be best if they paid for the repairs themselves."

Huo Qigang was even more confused: "Why?"

Zhuge Wan'er explained, "Xiao Huo, can you use your smart brain to think about it? Theory is theory, reality is reality. How many twists and turns are involved in such a large project?

Do you think the Russian bear is much better than India?

Especially when it comes to issues like demolition and land acquisition, the Mao Bears are even more powerful than Third Brother. They really dare to use guns to mess with you!"

"In addition, the infrastructure project is built on someone else's land, and the Russians have Western blood in their bones. If the relationship between our two countries deteriorates in the future, they can find a reason to directly take back the operating rights. How can you collect fees then?"

"That's it, I've learned it. Master Wan'er, although you are much younger than me, you are indeed smarter than me." Huo Qigang opened the toilet all at once.

When Huo Qigang called her "Master's Wife", Zhuge Wan'er's body trembled, and a brilliant smile visibly spread across her face.

"What are you calling me? Even if you call me that, I won't be happy!!!"

Zhuge Wan'er said this with her eyes curved almost into crescents.

Chen Mo took a few puffs of his cigarette and narrowed his eyes: "In fact, money is secondary. When countries do business, money is the most secondary. What is important is the exchange of resources.

What the Bear Country owns is not just oil and gas, but also more important resources..."

It was at this time that Igor and others came back.

"Mr. Sechin, have you discussed it? Are you going to use the money from oil and gas to offset the infrastructure and transportation costs? If so, I can do it!"

Chen Mo put out the cigarette, blinked his big Caroline eyes and said innocently.

"Ahem... We have discussed it. I promise to give you a satisfactory answer this time, Mr. Chen."

Igor responded with a dark face.

Do you really dare to think about the oil and natural gas on which they depend for survival?
