Chapter 5907: Helpless
100 million dollars! These shipping companies only want to pay 100 million dollars. In their view, this is completely giving Somalia 100 million dollars every year for free, which is already very sincere.
Although this involves religious struggle, does the Vatican have no money? The Vatican also has money! Although the Vatican is not large in area, the Vatican's various revenues are 12 million US dollars each year, and how many people are there in the Vatican? 428 people, which is approximately equivalent to a per capita GDP of 81,000 US dollars. If you want to compare, the Vatican's per capita GDP is the highest in the world.
Moreover, there are a large number of donations from believers every year, as well as various church properties around the world that are included in the name of the church. If you really want to talk about money, the Vatican also has money. Moreover, if you want to start a religious war, more than one billion Catholic believers around the world can donate money. And Christians can also donate money. That's more than two billion people.
So, you can't put the burden of religious war on these shipping companies. 100 million US dollars, a lot!
This is free!
"We don't accept such a proposal!" Wu Zhaopu rejected it directly.
100 million US dollars, to send away beggars! This amount of money is far from enough to squander. Moreover, they have a tough attitude on this matter. This is a religious war, 100 million US dollars, is it enough! Is it enough! Is it enough!
Wu Zhaopu and his side firmly refused to agree. As for Lin Feng, he also looked calm and didn't take this matter seriously at all. This made the presidents of these shipping companies extremely passive.
And the most troublesome thing is that they are also unbalanced internally.
"We in Japan are willing to sponsor Catholicism with 1 billion US dollars to promote the doctrine in Somalia!" Several shipping companies in Japan jointly spoke out.
Speaking of which, the biggest variable in these shipping companies is Japanese companies. With the relationship between Lin Feng and Sumitomo Ning, calling these Japanese companies to come is not a good thing. But don't call. It won't work. Among the global shipping companies, Japanese companies will take away one-third of the market every year. Such a big thing, you don't call Japanese companies. Is that appropriate!
But this is also annoying. They are still negotiating, and Japan surrendered first. This is a traitor! Of course, they can do this. Because the three major shipping companies in Japan, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Mitsui Shokai, and NYK, now have a big boss, so. They just need to buy a pass.
Moreover, they don’t care who flies whose flag. Anyway, everyone is one. They used to belong to three different companies, but now they are all big bosses. Not to mention close, this competition definitely exists, but at least on such a big issue, their positions are consistent.
However, these Japanese companies can, but these European and American shipping companies can’t. They are not a boss!
"My cargo volume is not large. Choose to calculate it by cargo ship!" Bao Peili also agreed.
! The presidents of these European and American shipping companies all cursed in their hearts.
Although they knew long ago that these guys were unreliable. But you are too ugly to eat like this.
So. What about Global Shipping, what does Su Haiwen say? European and American companies can only look at Su Haiwen. After all, he and Lin Feng have a little relationship. What about him?
"Too expensive! We can't afford such a price!" Su Haiwen was quite dissatisfied with Lin Feng's greed.
"As far as I know, Global Shipping can use the same method as us to calculate based on cargo ships. After all, there are not many ships that Global Shipping uses through the Suez Canal.
In a year, there are only about a hundred ships!" Bao Peili said coldly on the side.
Regarding Global Shipping, Bao Peili naturally has some resentment. There are many things involved. She is more or less dissatisfied with Su Haiwen in her heart.
Su Haiwen frowned.
"Prime Minister. Why haven't they made a decision yet? Are they going to delay our great Catholic revival plan?" At this time, King Dashir began to make a fuss. "You know, without our Somali escort, their ships can't even think of passing through the Suez Canal!"
The faces of many shipping company presidents changed. You are preparing to rob openly.
Wu Zhaopu smiled.
"Presidents, my king has little education, so sometimes he doesn't express his ideas clearly. What he meant was that it is a religious war now. If there is no escort from our Somali army, then your ships may not only be unable to pass through the Suez Canal, but also be hijacked. After all, the things on your cargo ships are valuable treasures. In the past, some pirates in our country just wanted money. But now if it rises to the level of religious war, it will inevitably involve the country or some big warlords. Then, they are capable of swallowing up your cargo ships! If so, I think your losses will not be just a little escort fee!" Wu Zhaopu explained.
But obviously, this explanation is more like a disguised threat. But this threat makes the presidents of these shipping companies have to be wary. The reason is very simple. If a religious war really breaks out, it will be a full-scale war between the entire Christian world and the Christian world.
The cargo on the ship is useless for pirates. But the Christian world is enough to swallow it up, and there will be nothing left.
"Everyone, you may not fully understand the situation. Somalia now believes in Christianity, not religion. The whole world is still discussing this. Their attitude is unknown. Once they start to denounce us, even Up to the stage of military force. So, to be honest, with the current national strength of Somalia, it is impossible to fight. Once Somalia is divided again, then the generals of our country will always support themselves in the Gulf of Aden. There will be no peace." Wu Zhaopu took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The war will be chaotic. If you destroy a cargo ship, your losses will be far greater than the escort fees you paid. Your losses will be immeasurable! "
"If we don't agree anymore, let's stop talking. We don't care anymore! The worst is, I'll move! I can't live in Mogadishu anymore, I'll move to China!" King Dahir shouted again.
The expressions of many company presidents changed again. How can we move? If we have to move, Somalia will be in chaos. Africa is already chaotic enough. Look at the countries surrounding Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Eritrea. These countries are all extremely chaotic. Although they are nominally sovereign countries, who takes them seriously?
If chaos breaks out and rebellion breaks out in the name of religion, no one can predict the outcome. In the past, these warlord leaders were still wary of being encircled and suppressed by the United Nations troops. But if it's called a religious war, then it's not clear.
Religion makes people fanatical and can lead to chaos.
"Let's do this. You European and American shipping companies will split it equally. Europe will take out 1 billion US dollars, and the United States will take out 1 billion US dollars. The rest of the regions will all use piecework." Lin Feng spoke again at this time. , "Don't worry about little things all the time. You must know that for Catholicism and Christianity, this is a thousand-year plan. Whoever wants to destroy Christianity's thousand-year plan will be a sinner through the ages. If he dies, he will go to hell! "
Everyone fell silent. Now that Lin Feng has spoken, he will not compromise again. If we talk about it again, we might end up falling out. Everyone could only look at Sarkozy. From the beginning to the end of this meeting, shipping companies like them had almost no say. They were beaten by Lin Feng and Somalia throughout the whole meeting. Is this a negotiation?
President Sarkozy also looked depressed at the moment. This situation was completely beyond his imagination. But faced with the situation involving a religious war, he had nothing to do.
"From the perspective of the spread of Christian teachings, this money is not expensive! Reasonable! However, I hope that the Kingdom of Somalia can guarantee the interests of these employers, and at the same time, ensure that they can obtain sufficient returns on this matter in the future!" Sako Qi could only take a step back.
"Don't worry, President Sarkozy, and other presidents, we in Somalia are not ungrateful people. This escort fee will be repaid in the future if our Kingdom of Somalia becomes stronger, the economy develops, we can be self-sufficient, and we have the resources to repay If we can, we will definitely pay it back! Of course, since we are contributing to Christianity, there will be no interest! But, if we can afford it, we will definitely pay it back!" Wu Zhaopu said.
Many shipping company presidents curled their lips. Having said this is like saying nothing. Pay it back only if you have the money. In your situation, who knows when you will have money. Even if you have money, are you willing to pay it back? Who do they want to complain to? But finally gave them steps.
Immediately, everyone agreed. Then a written contract was signed, agreeing on the relevant expenses and repayment conditions, as well as some of the rewards received by these shipping companies as employer Party A, such as the church having their company name engraved on it, and other conditions, as well as the future return Various preferential policies for investment in Somalia.
Although, Somalia has nothing and the investment value is extremely low. But what if there is one in the future. So, be prepared!
"Come, let's drink to the fact that we can reach an agreement!" President Sarkozy ordered someone to pour noble rot wine and began to celebrate.
Naturally, this kind of celebration was very unpleasant for these shipping companies. After hurriedly drinking the celebratory wine, they left. Naturally, there is no need to hold a press conference for such a shameful clause.
"President Sarkozy, thank you very much!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, congratulations!" President Sarkozy said with a smile, "Now, Somalia's income is billions of dollars a year! Egypt has worked hard to build the Suez Canal, but its annual profit is only 5 billion. US dollars, you have to bear all kinds of expenses, but you can do it easily!”
Lin Feng smiled.
"Isn't this for the spread of Christian doctrine! If Christianity can spread to every corner of the African continent in the future, I think they will be grateful for today's wise decision!" Lin Fengxiao said.
