887 Worse Than You

Karima knows, of course, that even if Zambia repays the $20 million loan from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, which exist as instruments for European and American countries to control the world, will not be able to provide economic assistance to Zambia again -- of course, it is not absolutely impossible, but it will certainly put forward some extremely harsh political and economic conditions, such as requiring President Kaunda to "respect" the will of the people or something. But this is definitely not what Mr. President and the people of Zambia want. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He only thought about repaying the two loans from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund as soon as possible, but he completely forgot to think about what Chen Geng said: That's right, even if Zambia gets the $20 million and repays the loan from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, no one will accept Zambia's affection.

"Even if you repay this loan, wouldn't it be too easy for the IMF and the World Bank to find an excuse to 'pause' economic aid to Zambia?" Looking at Karima with a deep expression, Chen Geng said, "Understood, right?" Whether or not Zambia repays this loan, it will not do much to improve Zambia's international situation, but we might as well put it more bluntly: who are these supporters of the opposition in Mr. President Ziluba, except for those who control the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund?

Well, if you think you have to repay this loan, it's not impossible, but let's think about it the other way around, do the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund know about the current economic situation in Zambia? I think they must have known that Zambia is politically turbulent and the economic situation is not good...... I think that in the current situation in Zambia, these Western countries should bear at least 60% of the responsibility......"

Karima's big black face was faintly white—it was not easy to make a black man's face pale—the back of his fist was bruised—and now that he remembered that he and Mr. President had almost made a mistake by going out of their way to give money to those bastards who had deliberately stirred up civil strife in Zambia! He couldn't help but wonder if Zambia really repaid the World Bank and IMF loans, maybe some of that loan would be handed over to the damned opposition in Ziluba by those bastards, right? The money that is equal to Mr. President becomes a bullet shot at Mr. President......

Looking at Karima's expression, Chen Geng knew that his provocation had been successful, and then said: "If the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are really international organizations in charge and sincerely want to help countries develop, what should they do? Zambia should take the initiative to forgive the loan, or at least allow the Zambian side to defer loan repayment. But how do they do it?

Knowing that Zambia's economic situation is very bad and he is unable to repay this loan, he did not choose to forgive or postpone it, but chose the worst way: forcing debts!

Mr. Minister, let me ask rhetorically, assuming that the Zambian government really has $20 million in its hands now, do you think it would be better to return it to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, or to use it domestically, to stabilize the situation and increase the approval rating of Mr. President? ”

"Of course, it's better to use it in China!" Karima said without thinking, and agreed with Chen Geng's words in his heart, and felt that what Chen Geng said was very right, if the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund were really a responsible international organization, Zambia's debt should be forgiven, and Zambia should be allowed to defer loan repayment, instead of forcing Zambia to repay its debts even if it sells its sons and daughters, as it is now!

People are always selfish and always accustomed to thinking about problems from their own point of view, Karima is like this now, if Chen Geng didn't say that he didn't expect it, but now that he was instigated by Chen Geng, he had a deep grudge against the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in his heart: You bastards, this is planning to force us to death.

After saying that, Karima realized a problem: the Zambian government does not have $20 million in its hands.

"That's right, it must be better to use it in China," Chen Geng nodded approvingly, and then said a little embarrassedly: "But 20 million US dollars is a huge amount of money, and we don't have ...... However, Runhua can donate $2 million to the Zambian government to help the Zambian government solve the current hunger problem, and if this fund helps Zambia's current difficulties, we will find a way to donate another $2 million to the Zambian government in a month......"

"Really?!" Karima was overjoyed, stood up suddenly, and asked Chen Geng in disbelief.

Frankly speaking, Karima actually didn't expect to be able to borrow $20 million from China, and he knew a little bit about what the situation in China was like, but after Chen Geng analyzed that the $20 million was not interesting to pay back, he had already made up his mind, and after he went back, he would definitely persuade Mr. President to find a way to cheat: It's not that we don't pay back, but we can't help it, and we will pay it back when we have money.

Unexpectedly, although he did not borrow 20 million US dollars from Chen Geng, Chen Geng offered to donate 2 million to the Zambian government, and there will be 2 million a month later!

He is not stupid, of course he knows that Chen Geng's $4 million is not given for nothing, and he hopes that the Zambian government will promote these two projects as soon as possible, but this is also in the interests of Zambia and Mr. President, it is definitely a win-win idea!

"Of course it's true," Xie Minsheng, who hadn't spoken much, nodded with a smile: "Mr. Minister, you can see this as the sincerity of Runhua Industrial's cooperation." ”

Karima hurried away, and he needed to tell the good news to Mr. President as soon as possible: with the $4 million in hand, Mr. President would be more certain to deal with the damned opposition of Tsiluba.

…………………………………………

Karima was also dutiful, almost telling President Kaunda what Chen Geng said, and in the end, Karima persuaded: "Sir, I think Mr. Chen is right, the group of bastards behind the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are responsible for at least 60% of the current suffering situation in Zambia...... Even 70% is as it should be...... Every dollar we pay back to them now is a bullet fired at us by the enemy, and we simply can't do that anymore in this time of crisis. ”

Kaunda's face was very ugly, because he didn't think about this question either, yes, now that I think about it, this loan from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund really can't be repaid.

But it's not the same thing, how to deal with the next public opinion pressure from the opposition? Kaunda is sure that if the Zambian government makes it clear that it will not repay this loan, those damned opponents in Ziluba will make a big fuss about it!

Karima smiled proudly: "Mr. Chen really gave me a suggestion, I think this method is good." ”

"Speak quickly!" Hearing that Chen Geng proposed a solution to the problem, Kaunda was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "What is the solution?" ”

Karima laughed thief: "Didn't those damn opposition say that they represent the will of the people or something?" Then let's make this a matter of public opinion! We can use the spirit of 'coming from the masses of the people and going to the masses of the people' to carry out public opinion propaganda in a big way, so that the people of Zambia know about this matter, and tell the people that we are not unwilling to repay the debt, but that the country has no money now, but we allow the people to participate in and discuss this matter, and set off a big discussion throughout the country, if the people feel that we should repay the money, then we will do everything we can to repay the money, even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron, and if the people think that we are really difficult, we can postpone it appropriately. We will defer the repayment for one year and pay a reasonable interest accordingly. ”

That's a good idea! Kaunda's eyes lit up.

First of all, when this matter becomes the decision of the people of the whole country, our own decision represents the decision of the entire people of Zambia, and even if it is postponed, it is justified - and we are willing to bear the interest caused by it, and we are not cheating.

The most important thing is that the ability of the public to receive information at the same time is limited, and when this matter becomes the main issue of public discussion through great fanfare, it will naturally weaken the voice of the opposition, which is like killing two birds with one stone!

"Good, good," Kaunda patted Karima on the shoulder happily and said with relief, "Karima, you really didn't disappoint me. ”

"It's not all," Karima said with a smile, "Runhua Industry is really a good friend, and the good news I brought back to you is more than that." ”

"What else? Say it. ”

"Mr. Chen and Mr. Xie, on behalf of Runhua Industrial, promised that in the construction process of the hydropower station and the development zone, including the corresponding supporting projects, they will give priority to the families of military personnel in the construction process of the hydropower station and the development zone, including the corresponding supporting projects, in terms of providing jobs to Zambia, and after the completion of the development zone, the enterprises in their development zone will give priority to the families of military personnel, Mr. Chen said, they are expected to provide at least 5,000 jobs to the military."

"Great!" Hearing this, Kaunda was overjoyed.

Of course, he knows the truth that "a stable gun means a stable regime", why was he forced to change the country's political system from a one-party system to a multi-party system last year? Isn't it a compromise that has to be made because there was a mutiny and his control over the army has been greatly reduced? Now with these 5,000 jobs, my control over the army will definitely increase!

The Chinese are really the best friends of the Zambian people, and they have helped them a lot.
