Chapter 1321 – Payment Method
Feng Yu returned to the hotel and discussed with those experts. After that, they called China using their satellite phone to ask about their research cost. In the end, they valued the technologies at 3.3 billion USD. This price is reasonable as it includes the aircraft carrier’s weapon technologies.
If it was two years ago, all those technologies might be worth 4 billion USD at most.
After three days of grueling negotiations, Feng Yu managed to lower the prices to 3.4 billion USD.
“Alexander, how do you want us to pay you? Transfer the money to your company’s Swiss account, or transfer to your country’s bank account?” Feng Yu asked with a smile.“What’s the difference?”
“There’s no difference if you all can explain where did you all get this sum of money? Suppose the US know you all had sell the aircraft carrier battle group technologies to us. In that case, they will surely impose sanctions on Belarus. You all might not be afraid of the US and felt their sanctions would not affect you, but what about Russia, Ukraine, and other former Soviet Union countries?”
Alexander frowned. Belarus might not be scare of the US. Still, they are concern about Russia and other former Soviet Union Countries’ attitudes.
Even Russia did not sell these technologies to China, and how can they allow Belarus to sell them? Although Kirilenko had acted as the middleman in this transaction, Alexander knows he is just helping Feng Yu and not representing Russia.
It will be troublesome if Russia finds out about the deal.
Although China’s delegates had come to Belarus secretly, Belarus told others they are here for investments. But many people are watching them close because Feng Yu lead the team of delegates.
“What do you mean?”“I can settle this problem for you, but the price must be lowered to 3.3 billion USD!”
Alexander doesn’t dare to agree immediately as the difference is 100 million SUD.
“Tell me how you are going to settle this issue first.”
“Simple. What am I here for? Investments. I can sign a series of investment contracts with Belarus, and your profits from my investments will be at least 3.3 billion USD.”
“What business can let us make 3.3 billion USD? Furthermore, we must also give you something in return for this deal. What are we going to give you?”
“Belarus has lots of mines, right? I am very interested in mines. There is a gold mine, copper mine, and a Molybdenite mine here. You all can evaluate the value of these mines, and I will buy them with an additional 3.3 billion USD!”
“This will be too fake. Which mine will worth so much?” Alexander looked at the map and noticed those are the biggest mines in their country.
Feng Yu had drawn circles on the map, indicating that he wants the mine and the surrounding region.
“Feng, our Belarus’s mines are not rich, and if we sell three mines and its surrounding region to you all, our people might not agree.”
“I am paying you all 3.3 billion USD more than the mines’ actual value. Why would people still object? Also, it will be hard for me to explain if I had not bought so many of mines. Like what you mentioned earlier, it will be too obvious. We are not afraid of troubles after buying these technologies. But you all are different. Your country will be in trouble if international trade stops.”
Feng Yu crossed his legs and waits for Alexander’s reply.
“Feng, I need to discuss with the rest and cannot give you an answer now.”
“Go ahead.:
Feng Yu knew Alexander is tempted by his expression. It’s hard to cover up such a big amount of money through small trades. China’s total trade with Belarus is only around 200 million USD annually. How long must the contract duration be to cover up 3.3 Billion USD?
Furthermore, no one will make advance payments for long-term contracts.
The next day, Alexander contacted Feng Yu to tell him their conditions.
Belarus can sell those mines to Feng Yu, but it’s not perpetual mining rights. The duration will only be 20 years. Of course, this will lower the price of the mines. Still, they want Feng Yu to provide some light industries’ products, like textile, apparel, food, and other commodities.
The prices of these products must be very low, and Feng Yu have to pay for the differences. These contracts will last for a few years.
Because of the longer duration and considering the interest of 3.3 billion USD, Feng Yu will have to pay more than 3.5 billion USD. But the good thing about this arrangement is he does not need to fork out 3.3 billion USD at once.
Feng Yu considered for a while and asked. “Alexander, I can provide these goods to you all for five years. But have you considered what will happen after that? You all will not get such cheap products from us, and it will cause severe inflation.”
Alexander laughed. “We are getting these goods at this price but will be selling them to our people at normal prices. It will not affect our people. Five years later, I believe our country’s economy will be improved and even if these product cost increases, we can also afford it.”
“Alright. Then let’s discuss the details of our contract.” Feng Yu had wanted to sign a long-term contract with Belarus and try to earn back the money he spent. But he knew Alexander had thought this out carefully from his attitude. But Feng Yu believes that Belarus will be used to Chinese products and will continue purchasing these products after five years.
……
“Prepare 3 billion USD cash.”
Kameda Masao received Feng Yu’s call and was shocked. What business is Feng Yu going to invest in? Three billion USD cash is not a small amount.
But Feng Yu’s words are orders. Kameda Masao immediately got Wind and Rain Consulting to settle some of their gold futures contracts for 3 billion USD. After that, he transferred the money into Feng Yu’s Swiss bank account.
Feng Yu also use his overseas company to sign a contract with Belarus for his purchase of those mines. The deal is worth over 6 billion USD and split into two payments.
After that, Belarus signed a series of trading agreements with Feng Yu, but the prices are much lower than the cost.
After getting the ownership of those mines, Feng Yu immediately transfer them to Polar Bear Mining Enterprise at a loss of 1 billion USD from the transacted price. This is to compensate Kirilenko’s losses as the mines were bought from Belarus at a premium price.
Kirilenko will also help Feng Yu to settle with the Polar Bear Mining Enterprise minor shareholders for their losses.
The money Feng Yu got from selling those mines is used for the second payment to Belarus. The remaining amount will be transferred to a new trading company, and the company will send out its first batch of goods.
After settling all these, Feng Yu flew back with the Chinese experts and some more important technologies in his private jet. The remaining technologies will be flown back to China through the trading company’s cargo plane later.
The plane touched down at an airport, and Feng Yu saw a VIP, who always appear on TV, waiting for him.
“Thank you for your hard work!”
