Chapter: 3736

So, he coughed twice, then spoke up, "Leaf Mr., isn't the compensation package a bit too low? Also, let us give Wanyue Hall 100 square kilometers of land. Wanyue Hall will have to pay some rent, won't they? Otherwise, we can't explain it to the people..."

Leaf said with a smile, "Alright, Saeed. Go back and tell your leader that besides this $15.5 million compensation, you'll give Wanyue Hall 100 square kilometers of land after which Wanyue Hall will pay us 10,000 tons of wheat every year! You don't find it inconvenient to buy grain food, do you? I have my own shipping company and can purchase grain in China, then send it directly to your port."

Initially, they were the only grain exporting country in the Middle East, but continuous wars led to a steady decline in their grain production and shortage of grains, which had become a huge problem for them.

Ten thousand tons of wheat at a cost of over two billion yuan is equivalent to less than four million US dollars, but for them, importing grain from overseas was not priced like this.

Moreover, their financial situation is extremely poor. If they can solve ten thousand tons of wheat for us each year, it would be truly of great use and wouldn't be a problem for them to support over 20,000 people.

Saeed went over all the conditions in his mind before making a judgment on this matter. He thought that this transaction was very profitable and not only gained significant benefits but also got an extremely powerful ally, which would definitely be a good thing.

Moreover, he knew that he could capture Wanyue Hall's tens of thousands of soldiers, not because of his own strength, but entirely thanks to Leaf's help.

So, at this moment, he didn't feel like continuing to negotiate with Leaf and opened up by saying, "Mr. Leaf, I need to consult with my leader. If the leader has no objections, then this matter will be settled!"

The cooperative defense, help with training soldiers, and active request to reside in a buffer zone condition at Wanyue Hall pleased Saeed's leader very much.

After all, this could indeed greatly enhance their security while also relieving their current anxiety.

And an additional compensation clause of $150 million, as well as a clause for 100,000 tons of wheat per year, was even more pleasing to him.

Moreover, there was another attached condition - Hamid's actual neutrality. Hamid is currently the strongest comprehensive force within the opposition party, if he could refrain from launching an attack, it would also alleviate the pressure on government troops' defense.

So, he immediately agreed over the phone and accepted Leaf's terms.

Saeed got approval and excitedly returned to the meeting room, immediately telling Leaf and Wanyue Hall: "Mr. Leaf, Mr. Wanyue, our leader has already approved the previous terms. If there are no other issues, please follow me to Damascus to sign an agreement!"

Leaf looked at his watch and smiled: "I still need to rush back to Hua Xia, so I won't be going with you."

He then told Wanyue Hall: "You go work out the specific terms with them regarding payment methods, release dates, and food supplies. As for food issues, let them decide which port is most suitable for receiving goods. Later, I will directly arrange a cargo ship to deliver food."

Wanyue Hall hurriedly said: "Mr. Leaf, how can you trouble yourself with food matters? Shouldn't I handle it instead?"

Leaf waved his hand dismissively: "100,000 tons of wheat is nothing to me or you. I have a shipping company at my disposal, and many domestic friends as well. Later, whether we need to purchase or dispatch ships should be quite simple. So, don't worry about this. After Saeed gives you the land, you will definitely need to spend heavily on resources, finances, and personnel to build it up. Just take care of that one piece for now."

Saeed nodded gratefully and asked again, "Mr. Leaf, will you take a look at the site selection issue?"

Leaf waved his hand dismissively and said casually, "You're definitely more familiar with this aspect than I am, so you can decide on the specific site selection issues yourself."

"Alright!" Saeed said without hesitation, "Then any progress will be timely reported to you!"

Saeed's words left Hamid and Saeed stunned.

They were already puzzled about why Leaf would suddenly start helping Wanyue Hall resolve their rear base issue after having helped Hamid defeat Wanyue Hall and capture 15,000 of its soldiers.

As they were astonished, it seemed that Wanyue Hall had already become Leaf's ally!

Just as they were shocked to the core, Leaf told Saeed, "You go straight with Saeed to Damascus on his plane, and I'll chat with Hamid for a bit before heading to Beirut." JrNovels.com
