Chapter 361: Behind the Loan (4)

After Park Chung-hee finished speaking, he said goodbye to Yao Yi.

Yao Yi spent three days in peace, but he didn't expect that Jin Xiangnan, the king of Northern Goryeo, would come to Ma Ling on his special plane.

This made Yao Yi a little surprised, Yao Yi still met with Kim Xiangnan accompanied by Wang 'Yao' Qi and Park Chung-hee.

Yao Yi arranged him in the best three-star hotel in the vicinity, because Sabah is still relatively backward, Yao Yi is building a large-scale hotel and other buildings, which are still in the planning stage.

Yao Yi said some kind words, Jin Xiangnan is going to discuss big things this time, naturally he is not here to enjoy it, although the living conditions are relatively poor, but he also admits it.

After settling down in his residence, there was a reception banquet, and everyone chatted while eating, and the food was basically seafood.

Yao Yi said: "I'm very sorry, I still let you run so far away, I don't know what makes you so anxious!"

Jin Xiangnan said: "It's a big country that wants me to match up and borrow some money from you!"

Yao Yi said in surprise: "What, borrow some money from me and repay a big country, make no mistake, which country!"

Jin Xiangnan said: "I don't dare to tell you which country, but the amount is 200 billion US dollars, have you 'gotten' me to get it!"

Yao Yi smiled and said, "This is not a large amount, but what I want to know is, what is the purpose of borrowing this money!"

Jin Xiangnan said: "This issue even I don't know, I am also entrusted, if you have this intention, their ambassador to Malaysia will personally talk to you about some details, in a word, you are a lending, I am a matchmaker, we are doing business, as for how to use the money, it is someone else's business, do you say yes!"

Yao Yi said: "That's right, but what does the other party use as collateral!"

Jin Xiangnan said: "What do you want to use as collateral!"

Yao Yi said: "It doesn't matter what you use as collateral, as long as I can see it, if I can't even look at it, then there is no need to talk about this matter!"

Jin Xiangnan said: "Mr. Yao, this matter should not be a big problem, the key is whether you really take out so much money in one go, this is the key, if you can't take out so much money, what we say is in vain, do you say yes!"

Yao Yi said: "You are right, what you are worried about now is the problem of money, but what I am worried about now is the problem of collateral, what kind of country is this country, whether he can afford to come up with so much collateral, this is the key to the question!"

Jin Xiangnan said: "This country is vast and has the ability to mortgage your loan, so you don't have to worry about this at all!"

Speaking of this, Yao Yi thought to himself: "No need to ask, this country must be the Soviet Union, at this time, there is no country with a lot of land and resources to find a corner like North Goryeo to be a middleman to lend money!"

Yao Yi said: "Okay, I understand what you mean, how much money is not a problem, now I need to clarify two points, the first point, the loan interest rate and term, the second point, the collateral of the loan, these two points are determined, and the rest of the things are easy to discuss!"

Jin Xiangnan also understood what this meant, and said: "The other party wants a three-year loan, and if the interest rate is concerned, their people will discuss it with you personally!"

Yao Yi said: "Hehe, so that's the case, okay, I'll wait for them to discuss with me!"

Jin Xiangnan said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I won't stay here for more, and I will immediately go and negotiate with their ambassador, what do you think!"

Yao Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why be in such a hurry, there is time!"

Jin Xiangnan said: "Hehe, time is running out, the other party seems to be in a hurry, I have to go talk to them first, and we will meet again soon!"

Jin Xiangnan dared to delay there, his mission was very heavy.

This time he came to visit Yao Yi, thinking about how to make a lot of money, because he had an arms order in the hands of the Soviets, in order to obtain these arms, the Soviet side proposed to ask him to be an intermediary, for the two sides to match, if the matchmaking is successful, this Jin Xiangnan will be able to get this batch of arms for free, to further enhance their military strength in North Goryeo, to put it bluntly, this Jin Xiangnan is also a pragmatic politician, he knows the importance of military strength.

This military strength depends not only on weapons and equipment, but more importantly, on economic strength, without economic strength, those weapons and equipment can only be a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, so the 'shrewdness' of this Jin Xiangnan is that he not only uses Yao Yi's economic strength to make money through trade, but also enhances his influence through this huge trading company and further improves its military strength.

It was precisely because of this that the Soviet Union knew about his relationship with Yao Yi, so it asked him to act as an intermediary to help raise funds.

In the Cold War, the Soviet Union was a foreign power, and its GDP was only 60 percent of that of the United States, but its land area was two and a half times that of the United States.

In the course of the Cold War, the entire Soviet Union constantly competed with the United States for hegemony and vigorously developed the military industry, so that the entire country's economy was dragged down, and finally had to announce its disintegration.

Yao Yi now knows through the information provided by Jin Xiangnan that the Soviet Union will not be able to carry it for long, and there must be some kind of economic crisis in their country, otherwise, they would not be in such a hurry to ask for loans.

In June 1988, the CPSU convened its 19th congress to discuss the issue of further democratization of the Party and social life, and decided to establish a system of people's congresses.

The reform of the political system has sharpened the latent ethnic contradictions, first of all, the question of the belonging of the Azerbaijani republics and Armenia over the Nagorny and Karabakh autonomous regions, which eventually led to an armed conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia that could not be resolved for a long time, and at the same time, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia on the coast of the Baltic Sea set off a "wave" of independence In addition, in Central Asia and other regions, there are also constant ethnic disputes and conflicts, the newly established people's congress is unable to quell ethnic conflicts, and most of the other issues are discussed but not decided, and the domestic situation is deteriorating day by day, the economy is declining, inflation, people's living standards are declining, strikes are repeated, in July 1989, more than 10,000 miners in Siberia held a strike to protest against the shortage of goods, demand for better living conditions, and the strike was very fast' In October, the Supreme Soviet passed a resolution banning strikes for the next 15 months, but the strikes did not stop, and various opposition groups emerged inside and outside the party, which increasingly developed into an uncontrollable political force, and the crisis deepened.

Yao Yi understands the background of these stories, so is the huge loan of the Soviet Union related to these events?
