Chapter 49: Five Billion Dollars

"I studied in China for a few years and I love it very much, it's a very beautiful country. ”

After Wang Yongyuan left, Santos spoke to Gu Mu in slightly stiff Chinese.

"I think so, too. Gu Mu said.

But he immediately added: "But I think your country A is also very good, and I like it too." ”

Santos shook his head and said, "Our country is still very poor and backward, I hope that after I become president, I can lead our country to develop its economy and make our country become like you in China." ”

"It's already started......"

Gu Mu thought in his heart.

As a politician, in just two sentences, Santos has already pulled the topic to his political ambitions:

"When I was studying in China, I spent a long time studying the development of China, and I think that China's development model is worthy of reference for us as developing countries. We must create a good investment environment, bring in capital, and use the power of investors to develop industry and improve the economic structure of our country. ”

"The slogan of my presidential campaign is industry first, and only when our industrial level is improved can we talk about improving people's livelihood and boosting the economy. ”

"But this requires the support of investors. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Gu Mu with blazing eyes:

"If I am elected president, I will give the best treatment and the best service to those investors. I would make a huge profit for any businessman who invests in our country. Mr. Gu, are you interested in expanding your investment in our country?"

"I have a strong will, and I am very much looking forward to you becoming the president of your country, Mr. Santos, and I believe that your country will definitely develop rapidly under the leadership of Mr. Santos. ”

Gu Mu said these polite words, then shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Of course, that's just what I'm thinking about right now, and while I can inherit all my dad's assets, for now, I can't decide where his assets go, I can only advise him to do that. ”

Although it is polite, the meaning is very clear - I have no money, no power, and it is not interesting for you to look for me.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Santos's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang is also very interested in my governance plan, and even gave me some good suggestions for my campaign, and even when I run for president, he has his encouragement in it." ”

"My dad has a very good eye, and he thinks that if you can run for president, then you can. Gu Mu said perfunctorily.

He didn't know what to say.

It was his first time dealing with a politician, and it seemed that he had nothing to say except to be polite.

Santos said: "Regarding the future cooperation, I have also discussed with Mr. Wang, what he means is that he may not live long, and those things have to be discussed with Mr. Gu." ”

Seeing Gu Mu looking at him puzzled, Santos explained:

"When I'm campaigning, I'm going to have some plans for the future, and I want to be able to get some big investment promises that will make those voters see the difference that I'm going to make when I'm elected. ”

Gu Mu thought for a while and understood.

In other words, in order to get more votes, the person running for president has to write some checks when he runs for election.

For example, after he is elected president, how much investment will he bring to the country, what kind of industries will he invest in, how many jobs, how much tax revenue, how much economic development will he bring, and how much role he can play in improving people's livelihood.

That's what a lot of politicians do, and everywhere around the world, there are promises of that.

However, such a promise, although it looks beautiful, most of the time there is no way to fulfill it.

This is the legendary blank check.

Obviously, Santos didn't want his promise to be a blank check, so he wanted to get Gu Mu's promise, and he also hoped that Gu Mu's promise could be fulfilled.

Because after he is elected president, Wang Yongyuan will most likely be no longer alive, and it is the young man in front of him who can make those decisions.

In this case, even if Wang Yongyuan came forward to give Santos a platform, it would be meaningless.

Because, Wang Yongyuan is a person who is about to die, no matter how good his reputation is, it is meaningless, because he will probably not live to that time.

What Santos needs is for Gu Mu to come forward and give him a platform.

"If Mr. Santos can become the president of your country, can bring a good investment environment to investors, and can make investors have a good return, I am personally very willing to participate in the development of your country. Gu Mu said.

Santos said tentatively: "Mr. Wang told me that if I am elected, he will invest no less than 1 billion US dollars in our country's industry in three years, I wonder what Mr. Gu thinks about this amount?"

The money will still be Gu Mu's in the future, and whether he can get such an investment in the end depends on Gu Mu's eyes.

"A billion dollars?"

Gu Mu pretended to frown.

Santos was nervous all of a suddenβ€”it didn't look good.

It seems that the young man in front of him is a little dissatisfied with the investment amount of $1 billion.

The $1 billion in industrial investment he was ready to hand over to voters would be the largest investment the country has ever brought in.

He believes this will appeal to many voters.

This thing does not mean that he shouts a slogan himself and the voters will believe it, at least the capitalists must make promises to the voters.

Otherwise, don't talk about $1 billion, in order to get votes, even the slogan of $10 billion 100 billion will be shouted.

If Gu Mu is unwilling to cooperate, this check will not be issued, and it will not be so easy to get more votes.

He hurriedly said to Gu Mu: "Mr. Gu, you have to believe that although this investment amount is very large, you will definitely be able to get a huge return." In terms of taxation, we will follow the policy of Huaxia that year, three exemptions and two halves, and we will try our best to meet the requirements of investors on the basic supporting facilities, please believe in my sincerity. ”

"I fully believe in your sincerity, Mr. Santos," Gu Mu said, "but I think the $1 billion quota is a bit too little." If I can make up my mind then, I hope to invest at least $5 billion. ”

In a certain room of this hotel, Wang Yongyuan, who watched the two meet and monitor, almost vomited blood.

- $5 billion, do you know what that is?

- Isn't this the legendary cub selling Ye Tian distressed?
