With a sneer on his face, Qin Tao looked at Li Mingyao and said the last explosive words.

"Everyone knows that Singapore Port Group has rich experience in port operations, so we look forward to them building and operating Gwadar Port. However, everyone has to think about whether it will have any impact on Singapore if Gwadar Port is built.

The port poses a threat. So, now they come to bid, but they want to quote a high price and win the bid. After winning, they will idle the port, let alone one billion, it is 100 million, or even 10 million US dollars.

, will not invest in it.”

Li Mingyao's face turned red from holding back: "You are slandering, slandering! Everyone, Mingzhou Group has actually started to use vicious language to attack us, you have to make the decision for us!"

"Slander? Okay, if you are willing to agree to either of the two conditions, then I will apologize to you now. If you don't agree, then I am not slandering, but exposing your true intentions!"

In fact, when the news of Singapore Port Group's participation in the bidding came out, many people began to analyze that it was impossible for the other party to truly build and operate Gwadar Port, because this is an obvious competitive relationship!

However, this was just a rumor, but now, when Qin Tao forced the other party to stand up like this, everyone suddenly realized that this seemed to be true.

If the other party really intends to invest one billion to build Gwadar Port, then none of these conditions should be rejected.

The first condition is just supervision. Countless pairs of eyes are watching. Who dares to touch this money?

The second condition is definitely a good thing for a company that is really serious about running its business. The half-hearted opponent succeeded in bidding first, but failed to fulfill its promise, so he stepped in and took over everything.

In this way, the competitor's initial investment will be wasted! You will get a big advantage.

Now, if you don’t agree, then there must be something wrong in your heart!

Everyone cast suspicious eyes on Li Mingyao.

"We can guarantee that we will operate the port as promised, but the conditions proposed by the Mingzhou Group are not in line with international practice."

"However, in line with the current actual situation, don't mention any promises. Er Mao also believed in the promises of the West at the beginning. What is the result?"

Li Mingyao's face was extremely ugly, and his mind was spinning rapidly. He suddenly thought of something: "Until now, you still haven't said how you will build the port! You have been saying that it is useless. What are you doing?

Diversion of sight!"

Lee Mingyao finally grasped the key point.

A smile appeared on Qin Tao's face: "Yes, so far, we still haven't said it in detail because this project needs to be kept secret and we don't want to be heard by competitors."

What?

Don’t you have the right to listen?

"Everyone, I request a separate report."

Ala nodded: "Friends from Singapore, you can leave for the time being. You can think about which of these two conditions you should agree to in the rest area next to it. Now, let's listen to the report of Mingzhou Group alone."

Li Mingyao left unwillingly. He had absolutely no idea that once he left, he would never come back.

"Everyone, what I just talked about is the first phase of the project. An investment of 200 million US dollars can only build a rudimentary port for Gwadar Port, including three 20,000-ton multi-purpose terminals and a 100,000-ton special-purpose terminal.

Terminal, build a port area of ​​140,000 square meters. The throughput of such a port is not very high. After all, we all know that one bite cannot make you fat."

“However, after the completion of this port, a large amount of materials will enter Pakistan through this port. In the Gwadar region, our domestic related companies will also be stationed, including overseas warehouses, fertilizers, fishery processing, and metal material manufacturing.

, agricultural development, tourism, insurance, banking and other fields, in this way, a Gwadar Free Zone will be established."

Free zone!

Qin Tao's words shocked these people.

In the past, when the Gwadar Port was planned to be developed, it was to transport Turkish oil. However, after Damao and Turkey signed an agreement, oil and gas resources no longer need to be transported through Gwadar Port.

So, next, what is the positioning of Gwadar Port? How will this port be operated and developed?

Qin Tao gave an answer: establish a free zone and develop the economy!

“In the port, it will have full operational capabilities and can handle various businesses such as bulk cargo, containers, ro-ro cargo, petroleum liquefied gas, etc. In the free zone, related industries can be established, including fertilizer plants, animal vaccine plants, and lubricant plants.

etc., it can also attract foreign investment and rapidly develop the economy of Gwadar region."

"Is this just the first phase of the project?" someone asked drooling.

"Yes, this is our first phase of the project. It is expected that the port facilities will be completed within five years, and the various factories and related units in the free zone will also be completed within ten years. We can all write them into the cooperation agreement."

"What about the second phase of the project?"

"In the second phase of the project, we need to continue to build a deep-water terminal so that it can berth oil tankers of more than 300,000 tons, and all kinds of ships can be stationed, increasing the throughput tenfold. At the same time, we will build transportation arteries. After all, we want to

If you want to be rich, build roads first."

"main traffic?"

"Yes, for example, the coastal road from Gwadar Port to Karachi, such as building a dedicated road from Gwadar Port to the capital. In this way, Gwadar Port will not only be a port, but also become an international port.

Transportation hub, forming a port with a complete industrial chain, making it an economic complex with multiple functions. This project will be completed before 2010."

"So, what about the third phase of the project?"

The second phase of the project has come out, and the prospects depicted are already very good, and the third phase of the project is even more exciting.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The third phase of the project is mainly to build railways and lay oil and gas pipelines."

These three phases of the project have nothing to do with the port, but are the main transportation arteries!

"Building railroads? Oil and gas pipelines?"

Now, many people don't understand.

Most of Turkey's oil and natural gas resources have been sold to Da Mao, so why are they still repairing them?

"Yes, these must be built in our country and connected with our domestic railways, oil and natural gas pipelines." Qin Tao said: "Various products we export to oil regions can be transported to Gwadar by rail.

Port, and then shipped to various countries. The oil and natural gas produced in the oil areas are shipped to Gwadar Port, and then transported to our country through oil pipelines and natural gas pipelines! This project will start after 2010.

, by then, the throughput of Gwadar Port will continue to increase to a huge number!"

The people present were shocked.

Of course they knew what Qin Tao meant.

China is developing its economy rapidly, exporting a large number of light industrial products and constantly importing oil and natural gas. These all have to pass through the Strait of Malacca, and many of them will dock in Singapore.

Therefore, this plan cannot be heard by the Singapore Port Authority. After the completion of the third phase of the Gwadar Port project, the business volume in Singapore will definitely decline rapidly, and the two sides are in a competitive relationship.

Everyone actually still clings to the illusion that the Singapore Port Authority has experience and can run the port better. Now it seems that this is completely wishful thinking.

Who should I choose? Needless to say?

No matter when, China is their most reliable ally!

"Mr. Qin, the third phase project you mentioned should involve your strategic project, right?" Rahim asked: "What is the attitude of your senior management? Will they agree to this project?"

If it is only the first and second phases of the project, Mingzhou Group should be able to do it with its current strength and prestige. However, if it comes to the third phase of the project, then Mingzhou Group cannot intervene. After all, they are

At most, shipbuilders are involved in building ports, shipyards, etc. It is absolutely impossible for them to be involved in the construction of oil pipelines, natural gas pipelines, and railways.

"If I say now that our superior leaders will agree, you won't believe it. However, I can talk about our country's economic development in the future. According to expectations, in 2000, our country's crude oil imports will reach 70 million tons.

, by 2010, our country's crude oil imports will reach 230 million tons, and by 2021, our country's crude oil imports will reach more than 500 million tons. Our country needs a large amount of crude oil, but the country can only meet part of it.

, what should we do with the part that exceeds 50%?”

Maritime transportation! In later generations, there will be a large number of oil tankers traveling between oil regions and various ports in the motherland. Even if they are all 300,000-ton supertankers, if they want to transport 500 million tons of crude oil, it will take more than 1,600 trips.

!Even if there is a round trip every three months, that means four to five hundred oil tankers are needed! (This calculation may be inappropriate, as there are also some oil pipelines.)

"Last year, the Star incident occurred, and everyone is aware of it. Therefore, our country will not see its important energy and transportation routes facing threats. Our country will definitely find other ways to solve it. Therefore,

In the future, Gwadar Port will become an important offshore oil transit hub!"

When it comes to oil transportation, railway transportation on land is the most expensive, followed by sea transportation, and the cheapest is pipeline transportation.

Moreover, by using Gwadar Port, you can avoid the busiest Malacca and avoid the risk of being choked at any time.

"Of course, you may not quite believe what I am saying now. Then, when signing the contract, we can also sign the terms I just proposed. If our third phase project cannot be started by 2010,

We, the Mingzhou Group, are willing to give up our operating rights for the next few decades and let you handle it."

This is enough to show your sincerity.

A lot of money was invested in the early stage, but in the end it was time to just sit back and make money. Because the construction of the third phase of the project was not carried out, the operation rights were handed over to others, and it ended in disgrace.

This alone can prove Qin Tao's sincerity.

"Mr. Qin, we need to discuss it, please leave temporarily." Ala said.

"Okay, then I hope you can make the wisest choice."

Qin Tao is very calm.

He has finished talking about everything, and the next choice is the people on Lao Ba's side.

He believed that his preparations were enough. If Lao Ba really chose the Singapore Port Group, then after wasting several years, they would still have to hand over the port to themselves. By then, he would have received a semi-finished product.

The port is much better than starting from scratch.

When Qin Tao and others entered the lounge, Li Mingyao and others inside were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Huh, shipbuilding is just for shipbuilding. If you are still not qualified to operate a port, let's go."

As Li Mingyao spoke, he stood up and wanted to go to the conference room, but was stopped by the doorman: "I'm sorry, you can't go in."

"Why? When they come out, isn't it time for us to go in?"
