    The relationship between India and Pakistan is very bad, and there are also great conflicts between them.  So they are just making noise on the Internet and it does not affect anything.  Qin Yibin has already told Xiao Qi that he once told the Indian management department that if they are willing, the goods sold to India can be produced in Pakistan, which will reduce the price of many goods by at least 15%.  But after much consideration, the Indian department still rejected the proposal and said it would not consider it for the time being.  ¡°Because they are not willing to promote Pakistan¡¯s interests at all, many Indians are not willing to use products produced in Pakistan.  No matter how noisy the Internet is, few Indians will let Xiaoyao Mall sell Pakistani products. Indians are not willing to give up their psychological advantage over Pakistan.  To them, Pakistan is a bunch of traitors, not worthy of being compared with serious people of Indian descent.  India is not interested, but Iran, Pakistan¡¯s neighbor on the other side, is very interested in Xiaoyao Mall.  During the preparations a few months ago, they had asked the Chinese Embassy whether they could also open Xiaoyao Mall to Iran.  The shortage of various daily commodities in Iran is even more severe than that in Pakistan, but Iran is much richer than Pakistan. Oil is money, and it is more popular than the US dollar.  But considering the various blockades in the United States and Europe, China is hesitant.  It is not a big deal for Xiaoyao Mall to enter Iran. Instead, it can use Iran and Pakistan to further develop and expand its power in South Asia and Central Asia.  But the problem is that if one day, Iran angers the United States and Europe again, then Xiaoyao Mall, which does business in Iran, will definitely bear the brunt. Either it will just throw down the stall and leave, or it will be punished by the United States and frozen if it does not leave.  Transactions around the world.  It may even involve Fairy Company, the parent company of Xiaoyao Mall.  Xiaoyao Mall¡¯s business is mainly in China, and the United States and Europe cannot control it at all. However, Fairy Company¡¯s business is all over the world. If it is sanctioned by Europe and the United States,  Then it will definitely suffer a major blow.  Nowadays, many countries in Europe and the United States are very dissatisfied with a Chinese company making huge profits in their country, but they just can't find a good excuse to punish Fairy Company.  If Xiaoyao Mall gives such a good excuse, I believe they will not let it go.  Having a good relationship with Iran is of course important, but if Fairy Company, China¡¯s signature brand in the smart electronics industry, suffers any damage as a result, it is something China would not want to see.  So this matter has not yet reached Xiao Qi¡¯s side.  But when he got to Niu Ruzheng's side, he was beaten back.  However, there are many smart people in China. They gave Iran a suggestion, which is to let Iran purchase through China's joint venture factory in Pakistan instead of purchasing directly through Xiaoyao Mall, so that this kind of trouble can be avoided, and the price  In terms of quality, it is still controlled by Xiaoyao Mall, but Xiaoyao Mall pretends not to see it. This is a rare confusion, and Europe and the United States can't say anything.  Of course, this matter will have to wait until China and the United States negotiate.  Iran took advantage of the situation and proposed not to conduct those tests before they could be carried out. Now they are still under sanctions. Even Pakistan does not dare to sell things to them secretly, let alone joint ventures with Chinese background.  Xiaoyao Mall is hosted by Qin Yibin. He is very cold to matters involving national interests, but since the big boss has decided to listen to his opinions, he can only obey.  ¡°At that time, he will have to talk to a group of suppliers in Pakistan to explain how to avoid offending people on both sides.  You can also make money.  This was another very test for him, leaving Qin Yibin quite speechless.  Xiao Qi is naturally very happy to hand over work to capable subordinates.  It is obvious that Xiaoyao Mall in Pakistan is popular.  Of course Xiao Qi wouldn't worry.  ¡°What he has been concerned about in recent days is the sale of islands in Greece.  Entrusted by Xiao Qi, Credit Suisse First Boston Bank has been conducting tug-of-war negotiations with the Greek government since August. The talks lasted for almost two months, and now they have almost reached a unified opinion.  Previously, the Greek government did not realize the seriousness of the debt crisis and the current tightening policy of the world's richest people.  So I quoted an extremely high price that was very unrealistic.  By June and July, they were already very practical, and the price was more than 60% lower than before, but still no one came to buy it.  Because buying an island does not mean everything will be ok once you buy it, there will also be various subsequent transformations, the supply of various materials, etc.??, all require a large investment of money.  After careful calculation, the cost of purchasing an island only accounts for about 30% of the total cost, or even less. Therefore, everyone is very cautious about this kind of small island. Even if it is on sale, it is impossible to flock to buy it.  Now the Greek government is a little bit restless. Seeing various debts continue to mature, the aid provided by the EU is only a drop in the bucket and not enough at all. If they don't sell some valuable things in exchange for money to pay off the debt,  The entire Greek government would be finished, and Greece would be taken over by its creditors, turning this ancient civilization into a joke.  At this time, Credit Suisse First Boston Bank, which intervened in the negotiations, undoubtedly became their guest.  Especially when Xiao Qi was still represented by Credit Suisse First Boston, the Greek government paid more attention to this eyeball effect.  As long as it¡¯s something bought by the world¡¯s richest man, it¡¯s not bad.  I believe that once the business is concluded, many buyers with concerns will also take action to buy the island.  They are impatient, but Credit Suisse First Boston is not impatient. It is just grinding little by little, grinding the price of the island and grinding various tax policies.  By the beginning of October, the Greek government finally retreated to the bottom line and could no longer make concessions. Only then did Credit Suisse First Boston tell Xiao Qi the results of their negotiations.  There are 126 large and small islands with a total area of ??more than 9,200 acres, but the price is only 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, which is a full 500 million U.S. dollars less than the first quote from the Greek government.  The most important thing is not the direct price of the island, but the tax rate of the island.  Generally speaking, according to international practice, an island property tax of 5% should be paid annually. Credit Suisse First Boston finally negotiated a 2.3% tax, and for 50 years, the island was calculated based on the purchase price.  Tax rate, after 50 years, the price will not exceed 200% of the original purchase price at most.  This saves Xiao Qi a lot of money. It can save at least 80 million U.S. dollars every year. If the basic price remains unchanged for 50 years, it will save Xiao Qi more than 2 billion in total.  Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that after the deal was signed, Xiao Qi directly gave Credit Suisse First Boston a huge remuneration of US$320 million.  However, although this part of the funds has been saved a lot, Xiao Qi still has to invest at least 10 billion US dollars to properly develop these islands, and the annual maintenance costs are calculated at more than 1 billion US dollars.  And most of this money will fall on Greek companies, so it¡¯s no wonder that the Greek government has no idea of ??being taken advantage of, but is smiling from ear to ear.  With such great good news, the Greek government naturally cannot help it.  They told the media before signing the contract, and when it came time to sign the contract, more than 100 reporters from all over the world gathered around them. I don¡¯t know how many of them were shills arranged by them.  Fortunately, the signing representative was from Credit Suisse First Boston, otherwise Zhou Bo would not have been able to deal with so many reporters speaking in different languages.  Everyone¡¯s attention is focused on why Xiao Qi purchased so many islands.  After all, the island is very cheap, but the overall maintenance cost is very expensive. The maintenance cost of more than one billion US dollars a year is not a small amount of money!  If there are not enough customers, it would be too extravagant to use it just for Xiao Qi's family. Well, actually thinking about it, it is definitely not possible. If Xiao Qi uses it alone, then he can only buy one per square meter.  A large island of 100 kilometers will suffice, but where can I buy 126 islands?  So everyone knows that Xiao Qi must be preparing for a vacation in the Mediterranean.  Although the tourism wave of Chinese tourists has been very popular in recent years, they still do not believe that these Mediterranean islands can maintain long-term prosperity.  After all, judging from previous experience, there are holiday islands everywhere in Greece, but they don¡¯t make much money. When encountering any disturbance, they will come to a complete standstill, which can be said to be very fragile.  They believe that although the Chinese are rich now, they are still worse than the Europeans. Even the Europeans cannot withstand the financial crisis, let alone the Chinese.  In this regard, Credit Suisse First Boston remained silent, which made reporters even more anxious to know what Xiao Qi did.  The Greek government will not tell reporters that one of the conditions for Xiao Qi¡¯s purchase of these islands is for the Greek government to issue the most convenient visas for Chinese tourists who come to these islands for vacation.  Basically, as long as the most basic review is passed, the Greek government must issue a tourist visa and must not embarrass you for any reason.  The Greek government doesn¡¯t have any opinion on this. They don¡¯tBut I hope that Chinese tourists will come to the islands to travel, and I hope they will come to Greece to travel on land, so that they can bring more income to them.  For the Greek government, which is now extremely poor, tourism is their most anticipated financial subsidy!  (To be continued.)
