Episode 10 Chapter 65

After a few days, Fernando, who was anxiously waiting, never saw the Chinese government's financial assistance, but the war situation had become more and more tight, and the SPLM army had to deal with UNITA's guerrilla warfare and resist UNITA's frontal attack, and the daily casualties and ammunition consumption were very serious, all of which had to be supported by money, and once there was no money, the regime became precarious. Seeing that the Chinese government did not aid the funds, Fernando had no choice but to be cheeky and call in person to inquire. However, the Chinese government politely refused on the grounds that the funds could not be mobilized for the time being, and told him to wait a little longer. Fernando, of course, was not a fool, and could tell that this was just a pretext, so his face turned red with anger, and he didn't say anything more, and hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Fernando sat in his office and scolded the Chinese government for being ungrateful and not saving him.

People are like this, when you help him once, twice, he will take your appearance for granted, and once he doesn't help him anymore, he will hold a grudge against you more than if you didn't help him. As the saying goes, people's hearts are difficult to decide.

Fernando has not forgotten the agreement he made with Xie Wendong. The Chinese government would not aid him, and Xie Wendong's Bank of East Asia would lend him money.

He pressed his anger down, took out Xie Wendong's phone from the drawer, and called it directly.

It didn't take long for the phone to go through. "Is it Mr. Xie?"

Hearing Fernando's voice, Xie Wendong smiled, he had been waiting for this call for a long time, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? It turned out to be Mr. Prime Minister, are you looking for something from me? ”

"My request for assistance from your Government has not received a satisfactory response. It seems that your Government has no intention of continuing to assist us. ”

This result was expected by Xie Wendong. He sighed and said, "Since the Chinese government does not plan to continue to provide additional aid, what are the plans of Mr. Prime Minister in the future?" ”

"I remember Mr. Xie once said that if your government stopped aiding, you would lend us money from your Bank of East Asia."

"Of course! Of course, I remember what I said, but ......" Xie Wendong didn't speak, deliberately paused for a moment, and said: "Presumably Mr. Prime Minister should understand that the bank also has bank regulations, and I can apply for a loan for Mr. Prime Minister, but the interest in it still has to be settled." ”

Fernando rubbed his chin and asked suspiciously, "How much is the interest?" I hope that Mr. Xie will not fall into the well and take advantage of the fire to rob! ”

"Haha!" Xie Wendong laughed and said, "Mr. Prime Minister, you can rest assured that I will do it in accordance with international practice." The interest rate on loans from international banks is between 20 and 30 percent, and I have calculated the lowest for Mr. Prime Minister, 20 percent, and the repayment period is one year. What do you think, Mr. Prime Minister? ”

"This ......" Fernando has no opinion on the interest, after all, it is not an aid loan, and the interest rate of 20% is not high, but he feels that the term is too short, only one year, even if the SPLM completely clears the UNITA forces in this year's time, I am afraid it will be difficult to repay all the principal and interest. He asked, "Mr. Xie, can you postpone the deadline a little longer?" ”

It's okay. We can sign a contract for one year now, and when the year is up, I will postpone it if your government is really in trouble. Xie Wendong said with a smile. If Fernando could see his smile at this time, he would definitely shudder.

"Alright then!" Fernando thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind to get the loan first and deal with the current urgency.

The two first made a verbal agreement on the phone, and then Xie Wendong called Li Xiaoyun and asked her to draft a $200 million international loan contract, explain the details of it, and then go to the Angolan government to sign it.

After hearing this, Li Xiaoyun was very surprised, and asked: "Wendong, do you really plan to take out such a loan to An Renyun?" Is the risk too great? ”

She is very thoughtful, the current situation in Angola is still unstable, once the Angolan People's Movement is ousted, the next government will no longer recognize the loan contract of 200 million US dollars, and the money taken out is equivalent to a waste.

"When it's time to gamble, we have to gamble! Bet on the Movement to win the civil war. Xie Wendong said: "If we win, we will have the capital to contain the SPLM government, and we will be able to earn $40 million in interest after a year.

"That's $200 million!" Li Xiaoyun said: "The bank's liquidity is not very large, and it is nerve-wracking to take out 200 million US dollars, but you use it to verify your vision?" ”

"Hehe, don't worry, money is not a problem." Xie Wendong said: "In a while, I will transfer 200 million US dollars to the Bank of East Asia. ”

"Huh?" Li Xiaoyun was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Where did you get so much money?" ”

"I naturally have my own way." "Do what I want, remember, the contract must be signed by the President of Angola," Xie said.

"I understand that."

"Now it's only 200 million US dollars, I think, this is not enough to fill the belly of the People's Movement, in the future, we may have to continue to add loans, so, Xiaoyun, you have to work harder, speed up the operation of the bank, so as to accumulate a sufficient amount of funds."

"Throwing so much money into a government that is swinging and could collapse at any moment, I think you're crazy, and you're crazy!" Li Xiaoyun shook her head and sighed: "In the world, except for you, there may not be a second person who is willing to do this."

"Haha!" Xie Wendong laughed out loud and said leisurely: "The truth is often in the hands of a few, so the world often changes because of a few. ”

Li Xiaoyun was completely speechless when she heard this.

After Tony Victor, Blake Nut, Guan Feng, Jack and others arrived in Angola, they immediately rushed to visit the diamond mines, and Chris personally came out to accompany them. When Tony and Chris met, they smiled wryly, then laughed on their backs and shook each other's hands warmly.

Who would have imagined that two people who were once rivals are now standing on the same front and doing things for the same person

Under Chris's management, the diamond mines were operating normally, and the mined diamonds were housed in purpose-built warehouses guarded by the army around the clock.

In the warehouse, Tony and Blake were amazed to see the long rows of boxes containing diamonds, and they agreed that it was necessary to set up a processing plant in Angola.

With a goal in mind, Tony began to prepare, and at this time, the network he had built up during the drug trafficking came into play, bringing in relevant technicians from all over the world, buying processing equipment, and building a factory not far from the mine.

Of course, all this he does costs money, and Xie Wendong gives him great support.

Let Li Xiaoyun allocate sufficient funds to Tony for his use.

Thanks to money and the strong cooperation of the Angolan government, things became more effective with half the effort, and soon the prototype of the processing plant was visible not far from the mine, and the professional equipment purchased and the professionals hired at high salaries arrived in Angola, and things went smoothly and quickly.

Xie Wendong is still very sure of Tony's work in Angola, and at the same time, he also transferred more brothers from Wendong Association and Beihongmen to help and manage.

Now, Xie Wendong is only waiting for the processing plant to start operation, making finished diamonds for sale and accumulating funds. This afternoon, Xie Wendong was talking to Tony on the phone, Dong Xinlei knocked on the door, and was about to open his mouth to speak, Xie Wendong waved his hand and asked him to wait for a while, and then said into the microphone: "When will the sample diamond be processed?" ”

"It will be a week at the earliest."

"Oh! It will take so long......" Xie Wendong thought for a while, and then asked, "Have you contacted all the international jewelers?" I don't want diamonds to be processed and have no sales channels. ”

"Haha, Mr. Xie can rest assured, the color of our diamonds is F+, the clarity is VVs, the particles are large, plus the professional processing talents I am looking for, the shape and cut are also first-class, such diamonds, to the market is a hot commodity, as long as the news is spread, we don't have to go to the buyer, the buyer will naturally take the initiative to come to us......"

Xie Wendong frowned, not knowing where Tony got all that nonsense, he smiled and asked, "I just want to know, have you contacted the international jeweler?" ”

"This ...... Not yet, I have to wait for the samples to come out and send them the pictures first, otherwise, they won't believe me."

"Do it as soon as possible, and I want to see the results as soon as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Xie!"

Hanging up the phone, Xie Wendong sighed. Diamond processing factories are still very expensive, not to mention anything else, the salary of those diamond processors alone is a huge amount, if you just invest in it, but there is no return, Li Xiaoyun's side can't stand it.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked at Dongxin Lei and asked, "Old Lei, what's the matter?" ”

Dong Xinlei took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Brother Dong, the 6 Kou of Nanhongmen are here. ”

Xie Wendong was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "It is estimated that it is to unite me to attack the Qinggang together." ”

Dong Xinlei also thought so, and asked, "Did Brother Dong see him?" ”

"Since people are here, don't let him eat behind closed doors." Saying that, Xie Wendong Yang lowered his head and said, "Let him come in!" ”

"Yes, Brother Dong!" Dong Xinlei agreed and walked out quickly.
