Vol 5 Chapter 87: ,negotiation

Genius remembers this site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? "Dear Grand Duke Mikhail, on behalf of all the people of Bulgaria, I welcome your arrival!" Medev said politely
"Thank you! It's nice to see you again, Marquis Metiev!" Mikhail said with a smile
(The full name of Mikhail: Mikhail Alexandrovich, the younger brother of Nicholas II, who passed the throne to him after the February Revolution, but was rejected by him, so Romanov The dynasty was destroyed, and the rejection of the throne did not escape, and it was wiped off the following year.)
"It's been a long time since Marquis Sassonov!" Metiev continued to greet
He knew that the negotiation was still Sassonov, and the purpose of Grand Duke Mikhail's visit was only exchanges between the royal family and would not participate in negotiations.
"Indeed, old friends, we have not seen each other for almost three years. Now you are a Marquis. Congratulations, Mr. Metiev!" Sassonov said graciously
However, there was a flash of jealousy in his eyes, and if nothing else, there was a credit for him.
...
Ferdinand was a little surprised by Mikhail's sudden visit. Ferdinand didn't have a good impression of him, and he didn't have much contact with each other.
As an unconventional rebel, Mikhail's personnel in the royal family were not very good. Ferdinand still remembered that Xenia had turned his face on the issue of his marriage.
It broke the tradition that your concubine did not intermarry. This was nothing. At that time, the social atmosphere had opened up a lot, and Russia had already allowed intermarriage of your concubine.
It is a pity that I took a woman who was divorced twice and had a disorderly private life. She was unmarried and pregnant. It is still uncertain who the child belongs to. Under this circumstance, she married.
Xenia persuaded him to calm down, at least to make sure that the child is his own, it is best to raise it outside, which is related to the face of the Romanov family.
Ferdinand didn't know how the process was. He only knew that the last angry Queen Xenia burst away, and then their wedding Xenia did not attend, and the two sides have since cut off contact.
But Ferdinand still knew it without taking responsibility.
After the February Revolution broke out, the royalist party supported him to become the new czar. Nicholas II also agreed to pass the throne and assume full responsibility. As a result, the second one of him said that the decision should be given to the people. !
It directly caused the King's Party to fall apart. After all, such an emperor in the second grade would have no future with him!
Despite his reluctance, Ferdinand held a welcome banquet for him, and Queen Xenia said that she was not available, and she was going to hold a personal banquet, which was very clear.
Well, Ferdinand is not easy to intervene in the issue between their siblings.
However, since Mikhail's marriage, high-level aristocratic banquets usually no longer have their husbands and wives, and it is probably used to be ignored.
Ferdinand really didn't understand what Nicholas II sent him to do. Even if he was going to take the harem route, the Russian royal family was not without anyone, at least he had to send a good relationship.
...
"Mr. Sassonov, can we begin?" Metev asked with a smile
"Of course, Mr. Metiev, what does your country want, can you put forward the conditions?" Sasonov asked
"I regret this question, I can't answer you. In fact, Bulgaria has very limited interest in the territory of the Russian Empire, and there is nothing particularly interesting to us!" Metev said righteously.
Seeing Metiev's eyes open and talking nonsense, Sassonov was too lazy to complain. If he is really not interested, should he still be at the negotiating table now?
Even Sassonov suspected that there is no place to be particularly interested in. Does that mean that you dare to be interested in all the places?
Thinking about it, he certainly wouldn't say it directly. Everyone is a peer, knowing that people are difficult to dismantle.
"Well then, we intend to sell the West Ukraine region, how about 20 billion lev?" Sasonov said pretendingly.
"Mr. Sasonov, are you sure you are not joking? Western Ukraine is not worth that much money, and you have mortgaged all of Ukraine to the bank, don't you want to sell two goods?" Metev asked pretending to be surprised
"Of course not. Mr. Metiev, you are too underestimating the Ukrainian region. You must know that there are still many mineral resources in this area..." Sasonov explained
"There are a lot of mineral resources, but they have no economic value for mining. What can we do in Western Ukraine?
Farming? Do you think that Europe’s largest food exporter will be short of food? "Medev interrupted.
This is not Metev talking nonsense. Western Ukraine includes parts of Bukovina and Carpathian Ruthenia, as well as Lviv, Przemysl, Koroya, and Stannislaviv.
Not all of these areas are in the hands of the Russians. Both Bulgaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire control a part. In fact, the area controlled by the Russians is only 100,000 square kilometers.
All Metzhev didn't bother to worry about the specific scope of West Ukraine, no matter how much it increases, it will not increase too much.
In any case, the transaction price of this land is definitely impossible to be higher than the previous unit price. There is no strategic value. How can it be possible to want Bulgaria to pay a high price?
At most, it is calculated according to the land transaction price of the current international martial arts field. According to the prevailing price, the land in Ukraine is indeed very valuable. The problem is that there is a master!
Europe is privately owned land, and now is a peaceful age, and you can’t move the land with the owner, this value is naturally greatly reduced.
"It's a big deal, let's add the Georgian region. Isn't this the head office?" Sassonov pretended to be angry and said
"That's good, we don't bother to wrestle, just ten thousand levs per square kilometer, as long as the land bordering us, how about it?" Metiev thought for a while.
"Impossible, Mr. Metiev, you are robbing! To know the current domestic land price in your country, the price of one hectare of land is worth tens of thousands of levs!" Sasonov retorted
"Accounts can't be calculated like that. Our domestic land with a price of tens of thousands of levs is a good land that has been developed.
And this land transaction, we are not picky, whether it is a desert or a wasteland, it is the same price!
As for your fertile land and minerals, they already have owners. Even if we buy them, can we drive them away?
If you can drive away all the owners on the land, then we can directly calculate the area of ​​cultivated land. What do you think? "Medev asked rhetorically
"This is impossible, private property is sacred and inviolable!
But the price you gave is too low, or 100,000 lev per square kilometer, so that everyone can accept it? "Sasonov rightfully said
"Impossible, no one in the world dares to take over at such a sky-high price. Why don't you ask the Austro-Hungarian Empire to see if they will accept your terms?" Metzhev retorted
Do you still want to ask this question? Of course not. If it is optional, it is estimated that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will happily accept a land transaction case of tens of thousands of square kilometers.
But now such a bundled package transaction of land, the Austro-Hungarian government will not touch it as long as it has no brains to flood it.
The ethnic issues in their country are already troublesome enough, and some more Slavs will come in, and the situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire will finally stabilize, and turbulence will soon occur.
The most important thing is that they have no money. As a loser in the world war, the Austro-Hungarian government is also heavily indebted. If Britain and France need them to check and balance Bulgaria and the Russian Empire, it is estimated that they are not much better than Germany and Italy.
"How about 90,000 levs per square kilometer?" Sasonov thought for a while and said
"If the land is left to our choice, 90,000 levs per square kilometer can still be considered!" Metiev replied without hesitation
"It's impossible. If you let your country choose, you won't be able to buy it for ninety thousand lev!" Sassonov refused without hesitation.
"Mr. Sasonov, you can calculate the price of land transactions within the Russian Empire. The land in your country is less than five thousand lev per hectare.
If you divide your country’s arable land area by the country’s area, the proportion is less than one-thirtieth, so the average square kilometer of arable land is worth more than 16,000 levs. In fact, the number is much higher. Under the comprehensive conversion of Shangxiatian and Zhongtian, the cultivated land per square kilometer may not be worth 8,000 lev.
Then we calculate the mineral resources. Your country’s mineral resources are really rich, but they are not very valuable. Divide your total mineral value by the land area, and the average price of mineral resources per square kilometer is about 1,000. Between 1,500 lev ~ EbookFREE.me~ and then calculate your grassland and forest resources, the average value per square kilometer is less than 500 lev.
Calculated in this way, we give a valuation of 10,000 lev per square kilometer of land, which is very reasonable. This is the result of a comprehensive assessment based on our actual situation! "Medev said calmly
Sassonov was dumbfounded. Why didn't he know the information and how to judge the truth? How did Bulgaria get it?
Obviously he didn't know that this was Medev's secret change of the concept. These prices are the prices inside the Russian Empire.
During the war years, these real estates could not be effectively developed, so they were of no value. The average data was naturally much lower than the actual value.
Otherwise, according to Bulgaria's valuation, the entire Russian Empire is worth less than 300 billion levs. How could this be possible?
If it is so cheap, now that you sell London, you can buy a small part of the Russian Empire. In the next three to five years, London alone will be worth the Russian Empire.
"Mr. Metiev, you can't do this calculation. You also neglected human resources, factories, and urban municipal engineering. You factor in all these factors, and the final conclusion is accurate!" Sassonov said
"Well, we are here for today's meeting. After you make careful calculations, we can continue to negotiate happily!" Medev immediately terminated the negotiations.
Anyway, just fool the Russians in. In the end, you will lose or take advantage. It depends on the Russians.
In order to achieve the ultimate goal, the issue of price is actually the best negotiation!
"Well, there are a lot of things accepted today. Let's calm down, think quietly, and wait until tomorrow!" Sasonov said with a sigh of relief.
