Chapter 181 Rapeseed Port

At the beginning, Kobra even thought that the Kingdom of Tru could build nearly 20 engineering projects in his country, which was worthy of him, and he even thanked the other party countless times in his heart.

But this time Luosta opened his mouth to talk about the entire plan within five years. When he heard it, everyone present was really shocked.

In fact, on the way here, Losta had already communicated and negotiated with the more than 20 people who had followed him to the Ministry of Commerce, and it could be regarded as a preliminary feeling for the bottom line that Alabasta could provide. Now the other party can tell the five-year exemption. The tax revenue during the year has been considered to have met their preliminary requirements.

And the other party seemed to have already directly supported him.

While exempting from taxes for five years, although they require the construction of infrastructure facilities, even if they don't talk about these things, Luosta still needs to prepare these things in advance.

Rainfall in the entire country of Alabasta is very scarce, and most of the country is desert. If you want to develop large-scale business here in the future, you must use this country as your business base and improve the environment here. Less.

The most important thing is that the other party is willing to provide troops for free to protect everyone's safety. This is almost similar to what His Majesty the King mentioned when he came here.

Luosta sat there and smiled slightly. What they wanted most was not these things, but something that the other party didn't care about at all, which was to use their own abilities to promote the products of the entire Tru Kingdom, along the Great Line. market.

Otherwise, they would not go to such great lengths and choose to cooperate in all aspects with the country of Alabasta.

"Minister Zuo, we have been chatting for so long, and your condition is obviously not sincere enough, so let's first talk about more conditions that the Kingdom of Tru can offer.

First, in the next five years, our country will invest more than 150 billion beli in project construction costs in Alabasta every year, and at the same time strive to solve the problems of 1.5 million people in the entire Alabasta country every year. Regarding employment opportunities, I don’t know what the outcome will be. How can Minister Zuo look at it? "

"150 billion beli!"

Hearing what Losa said, even Kobra, who was sitting at the top, felt a little surprised.

What is the concept of 150 billion beli? The entire country of Alabasta does not know whether it can produce such a large amount of expenses in five years, let alone the expenses that need to be paid.

But a minister of the Ministry of Commerce just said a word and directly confirmed the annual investment of 150 billion Bailey. This shocked the entire Alabasta, not to mention the king, and all the princes and ministers below.

But the conditions mentioned by Minister Zuo are already the bottom line that their country can offer. For such a poor country, there is really nothing better that can be offered.

"I wonder what kind of conditions Minister Losstadt wants from our Alabasta country?"

Kobra, who had been silent all this time, looked at his ministers, who were all silent, and when they started to discuss, he finally couldn't help but ask directly.

He didn't want to speak at this time. After all, the two parties were still in the process of negotiation. As a king, once he opened his mouth to speak, he was already completely vulnerable.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. The bargaining chips in the negotiations have been increased so much that Alabasta has no chips to throw out again. They can only be at a disadvantage and let others raise conditions.

Luosta smiled again, then stood up and saluted Kobra respectfully, and said, "His Majesty King Kobra, our request from the Kingdom of Tru is very simple, that is, the port of Rapeseed Flowers. From now on, It is used by the Kingdom of Tru and has the right to dispose and operate this port."

"That's it?"

Minister Zuo, who was sitting opposite him, was suddenly shocked by the news and somewhat completely surprised.

For Alabasta, which has always been barren, a port is completely useless. In addition to the usual docking of ships, it also needs to be on guard against the pirates coming from the port.

Moreover, due to the economic depression of the entire country, the Rapeseed Port has long been different from what it once was. It is now in tatters. Even people in our own country are too lazy to clean it up. Now that the other party has invested so much, they only added one Rapeseed Port. The conditions at Huagang Port really surprised all of them.

Facing Minister Zuo's face, Luosta smiled sinisterly at the corner of his mouth.

This is a complete look of success. People in this country do not realize the importance of a port, but for the Kingdom of Tru, which has been doing business nationwide a few years ago, the importance of a port can almost be It goes without saying that controlling a port means almost controlling the economic lifeline, especially to survive in such a maritime era.

Cobra frowned and sat there completely silent. He couldn't understand the purpose of Losa's request.

As the leader of a country, although it was not easy for Kobra to understand the purpose of Losta's request, he always felt that there must be some circumstances that he did not know about.

But for someone who doesn't understand business, I'm afraid it's impossible to guess the purpose of doing this even if he tries hard.

A huge port not only has a strong commercial effect, but can also play a great deterrent role in the military.

The port in the Land of Rapeseed Flowers is the largest port in the entire country of Alabasta. If the commercial economy here is really developed in the future, this port will definitely become the absolute vitality.

Although Cobra has never been able to figure out what aspects are involved, the other party's conditions have been put forward, and everyone is waiting for his reply. In the end, he can only say helplessly, " I agree to Minister Losta’s request!”

"Thank you King Kobra. In the next agreement signed by our two countries, we will clearly indicate all these things. In the fastest time, I think it will only take two months at most. We can All-round construction work has begun, and I hope you can help us!"

Luosta smiled and said to the princes and ministers sitting below.
