Chapter 949 underestimates the difficulty of financing

Howard? Schultz's reaction to Peter? Brabek, Lena? Dai is the same, after all, they are just professional managers hired by their respective companies, not the owners of the company, and at most they hold a small number of shares of the company. They do not have the final say on whether or not to invest in the transformation of the Taklamakan Desert. Even if they take a step back and have the final say, they will think carefully about this matter, after all, the risk is so great that it is almost impossible to succeed.

Liu Shiqing looked at Ning Lanjie again, and the latter smiled bitterly, "Mr. Liu, you let me think about it." I'm sure I don't have a way to give you an answer right now. ”

This result did not surprise Liu Shiqing, he smiled, "I can understand your feelings, so let's do it, now my people are surveying the Taklamakan Desert, and they will come up with a detailed survey report at the beginning of next year at the earliest." When that time comes, I'll ask for your opinions to see if the company you represent is willing to join forces with us at Galaxy Industry to develop the Taklamakan Desert. When the time comes, I will take the lead in soliciting your opinions, and if you are unwilling to cooperate, or if you are willing to cooperate and do not meet my requirements, then I will hang this project out and solicit partners from all over the world. ”

Peter? Brabek asked, "Mr. Liu, what about the civet coffee ......?"

Liu Shiqing smiled, "This matter is not in a hurry." In this way, I can't let you come for nothing, I have prepared two gifts for you, one is a pound of civet coffee beans for one person, and the other is a cooperation offer, you can go to Wuling City, and Mr. Zhang Keyan, the person in charge of Galaxy Food, have a good talk, Galaxy Food has a lot of cooperation projects to find partners. ”

Peter? Brabek and the others couldn't help but be a little disappointed, they were all the leaders of their respective companies, and they rushed to the capital of China thousands of miles away, in order to take down the agency of civet coffee, or buy all civet coffee produced by Galaxy Industry, but they didn't expect such a result. If it was to discuss any cooperation matters with Galaxy Food, they didn't need to come in person at all, and it was enough to send a deputy general manager-level figure.

However, Liu Shiqing said it here, and they couldn't say anything, not to mention that Liu Shiqing didn't close the door to death, which shows that there is still the possibility of cooperation in the future. So Peter? Brabek and others said goodbye to Liu Shiqing one after another, preparing to report the results of this interview to the board of directors first.

Ning Lanjie sat in the chair and didn't move, waiting until Peter? After Brabek and the others left, Ning Lanjie's gaze locked on Liu Shiqing, "Mr. Liu, I heard some time ago that you used a technology to exchange the right to use and benefit from the 170,000 square kilometers of land in the Taklamakan Desert for 70 years. Originally, I thought you wanted such a large piece of land, just to find a reason to contribute technology to the country, but I didn't expect you to play for real. Are you really out of the way to develop the Taklamakan Desert? ”

Liu Shiqing nodded, "Mr. Ning, if I don't want to develop the Taklamakan Desert, why would I bother so much to ask for such a large piece of land?" Besides, I can't do it if I don't develop it, after all, for this matter, the Central Political Bureau has held an enlarged meeting, and if I don't move, I have to be poked in the back. ”

Ning Lanjie persuaded: "Mr. Liu, I still advise you to think twice." If you really put the Taklamakan Desert there, there is no movement at all, and if it is not developed, people will say two words about you at most, and with the status and influence you have now, they will not really do anything to you. But if you really admit it, then it's going to be a big problem.

To put it mildly, I personally think that even if you spread a stack of 10,000 yuan bills all over the Taklamakan Desert, you will not be able to manage the Taklamakan Desert well. That thing is a devil's bottomless pit that devours funds, and it burns many times more money than any seawater desalination project to the west, land reclamation from the sea, and underwater urban projects. These days, it's not easy to make money, what can't you do?

If you really want to contribute to the country, you can completely circle a small piece of land on the Taklamakan Desert just like you did with the development of Ulan Bu and the desert, and it is enough to get 10,000 or 20,000 acres, so that there is still hope for success. How can it be like you now, your heart is too wild, all of a sudden it is 170,000 square kilometers, good guy, this is 255 million mu of land, our country's cultivated land red line is only 1.8 billion mu, you calculate, what kind of ratio is this? ”

Liu Shiqing waved his hand, "Mr. Ning, don't persuade me, I've already thought about everything I should think about and what I shouldn't think." Since I'm going to do this, I'm somewhat sure. Hualiang Group is a state-owned enterprise and the largest food manufacturer in China, so I would like to ask you, would Hualiang Group be willing to follow me to do this? ”

Ning Lanjie smiled bitterly: "Mr. Liu, don't force me, even if you force me into a corner, I can't nod in front of you now, although I am the chairman of Hualiang Group, this is only nominal, to put it bluntly, I am just a big housekeeper, I have decision-making power in most things, but for something as important as investing in the Taklamakan Desert, I have to ask for instructions from above."

Even if the above agrees, the funds that our Hualiang Group can draw will be very leisurely, and it is great to have tens of billions of Huaxia coins, which is a drop in the bucket for the development of the entire Taklamakan Desert. We have to pull a few more companies, to put it mildly, in the development of the Taklamakan Desert, even if we die, we have to pull a few more companies to back up. ”

Liu Shiqing nodded, "Okay, you can go back and ask for instructions from above." I wait for your good news. ”

Ning Lanjie sighed, "Mr. Liu, to tell you the truth, I really hope that the above can veto our Hualiang Group's investment in this project, in this case, it may make your hot mind calm down and seriously consider the feasibility of developing the Taklamakan Desert." ”

After sending Ning Lanjie away, Liu Shiqing sat down on the boss's chair and sighed, he muttered a little about the difficulty of financing the project of developing the Taklamakan Desert, he thought that he had his own gold signboard, coupled with a little temptation brought by civet coffee, even if he couldn't raise funds, at least Nestle and Hualiang Group had to make an intentional expression, but now it's good, there is no vague answer.

Yang Nuoting walked behind Liu Shiqing, pressed her fingers to his temples, and rubbed them with moderate force, "Boss, what Mr. Ning said is not unreasonable, it is too early to talk about the development of the Taklamakan Desert now." What's more, you have been planning to build spaceships and engage in the space industry, which is a bottomless pit that costs money, and the second and third phases of the seawater desalination westward transportation project, the reclamation of land from the sea and the underwater urban project, etc., are all places that need to spend a lot of money, I think we should slow down the pace of investment? ”

Liu Shiqing closed his eyes and sighed, "Sister Yang, you said that if I am not going to carry out this project, do you have anything good to build?" ”

Yang Nuoting thought for a while, "There are three ways, one is to borrow from banks, not only domestically, but also internationally. Isn't there a World Bank? If we manage the Taklamakan Desert, we can actually be regarded as contributing to the world, and if we apply for a loan from the World Bank, we may be able to get some funds.

The second is to apply for financial assistance from venture capital from all over the world. But this is difficult, after all, the risk of investing in the Taklamakan Desert is there, as long as you have a little brain, you can see it.

The third is social financing, we can carry out fundraising activities all over the world, and there are still many environmentalists around the world, knowing that we are managing the Taklamakan Desert, there should be a lot of donations. In the area of social financing, we can issue bonds to the whole world and raise funds, and if everyone buys 100 billion Chinese yuan bonds, then we can raise 500 billion or 600 billion Chinese dollars, which can make up for a large part of the funding gap of the entire project. ”

Liu Shiqing snorted, "I think so too." If you think about it carefully and sort out a fundraising book and bond issuance report, I am not very optimistic about attracting large enterprises such as Hualiang Group and Nestle as partners, and it is more appropriate to issue bonds and raise donations to the world. ”

Yang Nuoting nodded, but she didn't agree with Liu Shiqing's approach in her heart, she actually agreed with Ning Lanjie's construction, either she would throw the Taklamakan Desert there and ignore him, or just circle a small piece of the Taklamakan Desert for small-scale development, these two roads are very good, the former, Galaxy Industry basically will not have any losses, the latter, the investment required is limited, Galaxy Industry can afford it, and it is good to find partners. However, according to her understanding of Liu Shiqing, Liu Shiqing will not choose these two paths nine times out of ten.

Yang Nuoting thought about it and felt that in this matter, the only person who could make Liu Shiqing change her mind was Guo Qianrong. At this time, Liu Shiqing may have been too tired, his head was crooked, and he was dozing in a daze. Yang Nuoting hurriedly took a towel quilt and covered him, and then tiptoed out of the office and found Guo Qianrong, who was doing research in the real room.

"Rong Rong, are you going to persuade the boss? He refused to listen to anyone's advice, and he had to develop the Taklamakan Desert. Yang Nuoting said as soon as she saw Guo Qianrong. V
