Chapter 1,364 They Shouldn’t Have Any Objections
"The Bank of the Future will provide you with a loan of 10 billion New Zealand dollars, part of which will be used to restore the power grid in the province of Santander and its adjacent areas, and part of which will be used to invest in the railway in the southeastern province of Southern Colombia. If you like Lewen Novel Network, Go to www.LWXS520. COM If you are willing to hire the infrastructure units of Futureman Group to participate in these two projects, we can not only reduce the interest on this loan from 4 points to 2.5 points, but also provide you with an additional billion Singapore dollars. interest-free loan.”
Sitting in the office on the top floor of the Future Man Building, Jiang Chen was playing with a bright silver coin in his left hand on the desk, leaning on the boss's chair, talking on the phone with President Jimenez, who was far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
One of the most important factors why FARC was able to gain support in the southeastern provinces was that the distribution of wealth in Colombian society was extremely uneven. Almost 80% of the wealth was concentrated in the coastal areas west of the Andes. FARC promised to revitalize the economy of the underdeveloped regions in the southeast after the revolution was successful, and building railways and roads was a feasible option.
In the evacuation to the Gulf Coast, the Northern Colombian government almost emptied its treasury, leaving Jimenez with a mess. There is no problem in using the remaining savings from the FARC drug trade to purchase arms, but if you want to carry out drastic construction, it will be a bit stretched.
Unfortunately, due to the dispute over the legitimacy of the regime, Southern Colombia's credit rating among international investment banks is extremely low, and almost no foreign banks are willing to lend to Jimenez. The Future Bank may be the only financial institution willing to provide them with loans. The bread thrown by Jiang Chen at this time is tantamount to giving him timely help.
"……Thanks."
Holding the phone, Jimenez's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he uttered this word with complicated emotions.
To be honest, until now, he still feels resentful about Star Ring Trade's behavior of betraying the interests of the Colombian people and reaching a deal with the Americans. He is very worried that Colombia will become the second Korean Peninsula, placed on the negotiation table in the game of great powers, and be forever separated into two countries.
"You're welcome." Jiang Chen waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone, "I know you may have some resentment in your heart, but I advise you to think more clearly. Without my help, you wouldn't be hiding in the ravine now. Playing in the mud is like sitting in jail waiting for the judge to judge you."
"...Thank you." Jimenez said with a wry smile.
He couldn't seem to think of anything better to say other than thank you.
"I said you're welcome," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "Also, don't be too depressed. The armistice is not an opportunity for you to cultivate your health and recuperate. Don't forget to build gun barrels when doing construction. son,
I'm very optimistic about the courage of your soldiers. When facing NATO's modern army, what they lack is only some modern tactical ideas and a few new weapons. There will be an international defense exhibition in Koro City in September. I will send you an invitation letter shortly. You can pay attention to it. "
At the end, Jiang Chen took advantage of the situation and advertised the future military industry.
Although Southern Columbia's economy is now impoverished, he's not willing to miss out on this potential buyer. When the global power grid is connected, those poor provinces will soon glow with new vitality. Even if Jimenez can only buy guns on credit, he is willing to sell them to him without worrying that they will not pay them back in the future. Get money.
However, Jimenez didn't think much about it at this moment. After hearing Jiang Chen's statement, he felt overjoyed. Especially the sentence "Don't forget to build the barrel of the gun", in his opinion, is simply a foreshadowing for the future unification of Colombia.
As expected, Star Ring Trade did not surrender to the United States!
After confirming his thoughts, the white-haired Jimenez seemed to be five or six years younger for a moment, and spoke confidently into the phone.
"I will definitely come there myself!"
After hanging up the phone, Xia Shiyu, holding the folder, knocked on the door and walked in.
When she saw Jiang Chen sitting on the boss's chair, she curled her lips.
"What are you busy with?"
"I just made a call with the new owner of Southern Columbia. There are another big projects waiting for Future Heavy Industry to take over." Speaking in a teasing tone, Jiang Chen threw the coin he was playing with into Xia Shiyu's hand and picked it. Raising his eyebrows, "Stop talking about that, look at this."
"What is this?" Xia Shiyu asked curiously, holding the coin thrown by Jiang Chen, holding it up to her glasses and looking at it carefully. When she turned to the back of the coin, she was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she almost couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
"The second edition of the Singapore dollar coin has a currency value of one yuan and a circulation of 300 million. The coin you are holding is a sample sent by the New Federal Reserve." Jiang Chen made a helpless expression, "Some shareholders proposed that 2020 should be commemorated. New Zealand participated in the Olympics for the first time in 2006 and won its first gold medal at the Olympics, so it came up with such a thing."
It seems a bit strange to have your head printed on a coin, but it should be printed on a hundred-dollar bill.
It can only be said that the shareholders who put forward this opinion are flattering themselves.
However, although he was ready to exercise his veto power, Jiang Chen still liked the coin very much and planned to keep it as a collection and throw it in the storage room of the villa.
"I think it's quite cute." Xia Shiyu pursed her lips and smiled as she gently stroked the outline of the head on the coin with her index finger.
"Come on." Jiang Chen rolled his eyes, "I've already shot this idea in my head."
"Why not consider issuing two sets of one-yuan coins at the same time? One set will be issued in small quantities in the form of commemorative coins, while the other set will be issued on a large scale as the main currency." Looking at the coins in his hand, Xia Shiyu's expression was obviously reluctant. After thinking for a moment, he came up with a compromise plan, "I always feel that this kind of coin will be very valuable in a few hundred years."
Issued as a commemorative coin?
After touching his chin and thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen nodded with bright eyes.
This is a good idea.
And if there is a chance, he would also like to know how high this set of coins with his own image on it will rise in N years...
"I almost forgot about the business because of your interruption." Xia Shiyu dropped the coins on the desk and placed the document in her hand in front of Jiang Chen. "The Ecuadorian government called me and asked me I asked when construction of the space elevator could start. They are ready to cooperate with our project, I just hope we don’t delay it too long.”
Ecuador has always been on the side of the Star Ring Trade, so it’s not good to keep whetting this kid’s appetite. Now that the Star Ring trade has opened up in South America, and the situation in Colombia has stabilized, the second space elevator does have the prerequisites to start construction.
"Send an engineering ship to Ecuador, and the site selection for the second space elevator can begin. By the way, since the Ecuadorian government is so anxious, then you ask them for me, we plan to buy one in their Galapagos Islands The island serves as a self-use port for Star Ring trade and a construction center for the space elevator. This deal only involves land use rights, not sovereignty. This is the final condition for us to build a space elevator in Ecuador. If they have no objection, we will It’s time to start.”
"I will convey your opinions to the Ecuadorian government." Xia Shiyu nodded.
"As soon as possible," Jiang Chen said with a smile. "Although I feel like they won't have any objections."
