Chapter 756 Sharp Answer
Martin looked serious, "You just said that the reason for letting Chenghuang Oasis Company lease land at a low price is to obtain food. I can understand this reason. But I noticed that according to public information, you also gave Chenghuang Oasis Company a number of special rights. "
"For example, if you have extraterritorial jurisdiction, if employees of Huang Oasis commit crimes in your country, you have no right to judge them. For example, if you have tax exemption rights, Huang Oasis can be tax-free or pay a small amount of taxes for a long period of time. For example, if you have fast-passing rights at customs, you do not need to Strict inspections allow for quick customs clearance. For example, you allow the Yellow Oasis Company to build railways and ports."
"Do you feel that the privileges you have granted are too great? What considerations did you have in signing to approve these privileges? It sounds like these privileges have nothing to do with agricultural cooperation."
Bashir listened seriously and spoke calmly:
"Exterritoriality is simple for two reasons."
"One reason is that our country has just changed. We are preparing to abolish the old legal system left by the Western colonizers and create our brand new legal system. The new law will take ten or twenty years to be revised and perfected, and there will be very frequent changes to the provisions. It may cause trouble to these foreign investors, so let them try their own perpetrators.”
"The second reason is that Chenghuang Oasis Company is located in an uninhabited desert land. Our law enforcement system is short of manpower and cannot send personnel to such distant places to enforce law, so we let them control themselves."
Martin nodded and looked at Bashir seriously.
"The reasons for tax-free rights are also very complicated, and the main reasons are also two." Bashir said.
"The first reason is that at the most critical moment of the battle, Chenghuang sold us a large amount of artificial blood and medical supplies, and therefore received a huge fine from you. The tax exemption is a kind of compensation. We will remember the helping hand of our friends."
"The second reason is that all countries in North Africa are competing for land conversion projects. Other countries have proposed tax exemption rights, so we can only follow up. We exempt Chenghuang Oasis Company from taxes, but their employees will consume locally. When you buy something, you will pay taxes indirectly in the process of buying something. Due to the scale of the land leased by Yellow Oasis Company, they may have thousands of employees to stay here permanently. These people are very rich and will generate huge consumption."
"Building railways and ports is what we urgently need. As for the quick passage of customs, the transportation of agricultural products cannot be delayed for too long. It is just for pure convenience."
"All in all, these privileges are based on a high degree of mutual trust between the two parties, and we believe that Chenghuang Oasis will use these privileges appropriately."
The atmosphere of the conversation had become serious like an international meeting. It was obvious that Bashir and Martin were just sitting at a small tea table, but the atmosphere of tense confrontation suddenly increased, and it seemed that even the teacups on the table were shaking.
Martin said, "Perhaps the Yellow Oasis Company will use its privileges strictly at the moment, but time will always make things change. What if they take advantage of this privilege in the future and do whatever they want here?"
"The slogan you put forward when you launched the military operation was to completely expel the Western colonists. But what you are doing now, is it possible that you just replaced another colonizer?"
Bashir's original serious expression suddenly lost its strength and he laughed contemptuously, as if he had heard some old joke.
"Martin, I understand your Westerners' rhetoric all too well. You have been using this rhetoric for so many years."
"From the beginning of our conversation, I guessed that you were going to ask this question. You were really calm and held off until now. I thought you would be different from other Western reporters."
Martin looked serious, "This may be a question that is often asked, but it just shows the world's view, doesn't it? I want to know your positive answer."
Bashir put away his smile, narrowed his eyes, and leaned forward, "Okay, let me ask you a few questions too!"
"Who launches missiles into our cities? Who blocks the import of our medicines? Who controls our currency every year through the financial system? Who uses the military to steal our oil? Whose soldiers shoot and kill our civilians at will? Who is humiliating our customs and culture in public opinion?”
"Before the war started, Gaul took away 100 billion knives of wealth from us every year without any legitimate reasons. It was directly extracted through financial means. This kind of thing happened in most countries in Africa. How can we use this method?" If we spend $100 billion to buy food, how many fewer people will starve to death every year?"
"In the past twenty years, you have emptied four of our large oil mines, leaving the local area with a mess. If we had sold these oil mines, would there have been prosperous cities in the area? Even if oil cities are often the last It will decline, but at least it prospered.”
"You keep saying you will help us, but in what way? Using bombers to drop bombs on us from the stratosphere?"
Martin tried to interrupt, but Bashir ignored him completely and continued forcefully:
"I don't mean to offend you. You are dirty at heart, so naturally you imagine that other people are dirty too."
"Why do we welcome them? They never dropped bombs on us. They delivered life-saving medicines and artificial blood to us during the war. After the war, they came to help us grow food and help us feed more people."
"They don't interfere with our culture. They just come to discuss business. If the price can be agreed upon, they will be happy to cooperate. If the price cannot be negotiated, they will only say, okay, and they will do business again when there is a chance in the future. Even if the business is not concluded, , when they left, they would still help us dig some wells and vaccinate the children against Ebola."
"You have been trying to educate us, force us to accept your ideas, and use 500 kilograms of aerial bombs to teach us. You call yourself a civilized society. If a civilized society means wearing suits and bombing women and children, or stealing oil under the slogan of garrison protection, Then forgive me for never entering a civilized society, I would rather remain a barbarian, and I will still be proud of my barbarian identity."
"We know who is the friend of North Africa and who is the colonizer of North Africa, and we don't need you to educate us." Bashir stood up, "The time has come, you should leave."

The interview video caused a sensation and was quickly banned by many overseas social media. However, interview clips emerged one after another, and millions of people tried their best to repost the key clips.
Song He enjoyed watching it. As soon as this interview video came out, there was no need for Cheng Huang to respond at all. He had already said all the good things that needed to be said.
This is a comfortable business to do, both the buyer and the seller are of the same mind, and the cooperation is truly a pleasure!
As long as there is no more chaos in North Africa, Chenghuang Oasis Company can safely and boldly enclose land to grow food. In a few years, it may be able to develop the North African desert into a world-class granary. By then, the company's profits will be very scary.
Ling Yiyi, Xia Wansan, and Pu Songchun have already settled in the local area. They will be engaged in agricultural production for a long time in the future. When the desert planting area expands, they can write some agricultural papers, submit them to top agricultural journals, and obtain undergraduate degrees. It’s really not easy to get a degree certificate.
Song He was very pleased that finally a student was graduating, even in a way that attracted world attention.
As a teacher, he can't slack off. It's time to focus on a brand new scientific research project!
