"Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank?"

"Soon?"

"What is the relationship between this bank and the Asian Development Bank?"

"Is this a state-run bank of OUC, or a private bank?"

“……”

A series of questions flashed through the minds of George W. Bush, Toshiki Umibe, Chirac, Major, and others.

Listening to the name of the bank, it seems that it is specifically investing in infrastructure development in Asia.

At this stage, there is no country in Asia that is not short of funds for infrastructure investment, including countries with developed economies such as Japan.

There was not a single person in the room who was not a shrewd character. We all know that infrastructure investment is the foundation of economic growth, and it has great potential and strong growth momentum in all kinds of business investment.

However, the Asian Development Bank, founded in 1966 and headquartered in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is mainly engaged in infrastructure projects in Asian countries. Moreover, it is a body established under the auspices of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) and has close links with the United Nations and its regional and specialized agencies.

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) that OUCC is preparing to set up is obviously planning to compete in the financial field with the Asian Development Bank, which has been in operation for almost 20 years.

"The first generation of the Asian Development Bank has been in Asia, and over the years it has helped the developing member countries of the Asia-Pacific region to eradicate poverty, which has played a huge role in promoting the economic and social development of the Asia-Pacific region. Toshiki Umibe looked puzzled: "Don't you think it's a waste of resources to set up a regional bank led by OUCC with basically the same purpose?"

"The purpose of the AIIB is to provide poverty alleviation endowments to reduce poverty, while the AIIB supports infrastructure development. Yang Weiping did not hesitate to open his mouth to say nonsense: "The business objectives of the two banks are different, and their nature will naturally not be the same. As the saying goes, there is specialization in the art industry. Professional matters should be entrusted to professional institutions.

The ADB just needs to do a good job in poverty alleviation. It is more efficient for the AIIB to invest in infrastructure construction. Speaking of which, I propose that the AIIB and ADB can be fully promoted to the financial market, and compete freely according to the rules of the market to see which bank is more competitive in the market. ”

Of course, Yang Weiping knows that the Asian Development Bank, which is controlled by the United States and Japan, also has a lot of infrastructure investment business. But he founded the AIIB for the purpose of doing so. It is to squeeze the living space of ADB. In today's rare place, of course, he has to give ADB a big hat of "special poverty alleviation".

And the underlying meaning of this hat is: if Asian countries want to alleviate poverty, they should go to ADB. The AIIB only invests in infrastructure and does not make donations for poverty alleviation.

Yang Weiping knows too well that 10% of this kind of poverty alleviation donation funds can be used for real helpers. More than 90 percent of the funds have been diverted by the civil affairs departments of various countries to either build office buildings to buy luxury cars, or they have been embezzled by officials at all levels.

Therefore, Yang Weiping is absolutely unwilling to use the limited funds of the AIIB to fill the huge hole of poverty alleviation with no return on investment in order to "brush up its reputation". Now that there is such a living Lei Feng in Asia, let it continue to help others.

"I think the understanding of the first born may be wrong. Bush Jr. obviously chose to stand on the US side on this issue, and said in a solemn tone: "There is a misunderstanding in the outside world. It is believed that the ADB was established to provide funds specifically for poverty alleviation. In fact, the purpose of ADB's main business is to promote infrastructure construction in Asian countries. This is the same as what Yuan Xiansheng just said about the AIIB......"

"The topic is far away!" Andropov, who had been silent at the main table, suddenly interrupted Xiaobu on some topic, and said expressionlessly: "Today is the wedding day of Führer Yang, not the United Nations General Assembly. We came here to send blessings to Yang Yuan, not to add to him!"

"Chairman Andropov said it well!" said Gregor Gisi, the GDR ambassador to the Eastern Union of the GDR, in a loud voice: "Some people just don't have a long eye. If anyone makes Yang Fuhrer unhappy today, we will make him unhappy too!"

Today is a good day for Führer Yang. We absolutely cannot tolerate anyone blocking Fuhrer Yang!"

"I think it is very reasonable for President Yang to put both the AIIB and the ADB in the financial market, and everyone is playing fair. See which bank is stronger. ”

"Führer Yang, if we Romania want to take a stake in the AIIB, I don't know what the entry threshold for the AIIB is?"

"We are very optimistic about the development potential of the AIIB, and I will build a proposal for the Czech Republic and Slovakia to participate in the AIIB as well. ”

“……”

All of a sudden, the countries of the socialist camp seized the opportunity to attack the capitalist countries of the West at the same time.

From the moment Andropov suddenly spoke out and interrupted his topic. Xiaobu knows what is bad.

Although these socialist countries in Eastern Europe are not completely unified with the will of the Soviet Union on some issues, they will certainly give face to Andropov, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, on this occasion.

Whether or not they are genuinely interested in the forthcoming Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), which will be led by OUE, they are at least interested in being able to make Western countries unhappy in the open.

From the day the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union was formed in 1947, the United Nations General Assembly was convened. The two opposing camps of the East and the West will seize the opportunity to attack and smear each other. When the argument is at its most intense, they will even fight like a street hooligan.

And all governments turn a blind eye to this, as long as they are not so out of line with each other, they will fight for what they should fight, and they will quarrel for what they should quarrel. The right is everyone's joke after dinner.

It's just that the occasion at hand is not a meeting at the United Nations.

If you can't hold your breath and really play tricks with those socialist countries in Eastern Europe, it is clear that you don't take Sir Yang as the master in your eyes.

Bush Jr. still had that indifferent smile on his face, and he gently shook his head and motioned to Toshiki Umibe and the others not to answer, let alone refute it.

Immediately, Bush Jr. turned his gaze to Yang Weiping and smiled silently.

"Ahem!" Yang Weiping coughed twice, and glanced around the audience with an indifferent expression.

Everywhere he looked, everyone immediately shut up and said nothing. (To be continued......) I1292
