Chapter 215 Opening a Bank
"Open a bank?!" Lee Jung-hoon and Choi Bok-myung were shocked.
"That's right." Zheng Feilong condescendingly looked at the two high-level dignitaries of Goryeo, there is no way, height is the gap, who made you Goryeo people eat too poorly and are malnourished! In a sonorous and firm voice, he said: "In the civil aspect, this bank mainly provides loan services to the people of the Celestial Dynasty who are economic, trade, and working in Goryeo; On the official side, it mainly cooperates with the Korean government. For the time being, business will not be open to the general public of Goryeo unless you allow it. ”
"It's a good idea, but it needs to be considered in the long run." Li Zhengxun said with a frown.
This matter has a big impact. Banks are one of the most profitable profiteering machines. Unless there is a financial crisis, it is a sure thing. In fact, none of the banks in the Celestial Empire lost money. Even rural credit cooperatives are very profitable.
The opening of banks will definitely play a role in promoting economic construction. Although Meiguo has caused great problems due to the subprime mortgage crisis, if it were not for the bank's loan business, many high-tech companies would not have appeared at all, and many ordinary people would not have lived well at all. Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons.
However, Goryeo is a very special country, and it has always practiced a policy of semi-seclusion. Since Jin Sanpang came to power, he has been economically blockaded by the West, and his contacts with the Celestial Empire and Russia have decreased, and he is basically in a policy of closing himself to the outside world.
At this time, let the people of the Celestial Empire open a bank, and the earthquake will be no less than an eight-magnitude earthquake, which will shock the whole world. The direct and indirect impact is immeasurable.
Before coming, Zheng Feilong did not discuss this matter with Ye Kexin. Ye Kexin didn't know that Zheng Feilong had this idea. She also felt very shocked, and Zheng Feilong's eyes became a little complicated.
He was a bit risky with his move, but he had to say that he was a good move. Take advantage of the danger you have just experienced to blackmail Goryeo. Ye Kexin also thought of this, but it was only limited to seizing more interests and striving for greater freedom in the future economic cooperation. She definitely didn't expect to do something so big. But Zheng Feilong did it, and did it directly without consulting her.
Ye Kexin was a little angry, this thing looked at herself as a vase. However, I remembered Ye Wentian's previous advice, and when I arrived in Goryeo, I just had to find a way to rescue Ye Dingxuan. As for other things, they all follow Zheng Feilong's meaning. When appropriate, cooperate with him.
Ye Kexin also knows that Zheng Feilong is the kind of maverick who has never taken others seriously. At present, he is very willing to help him rescue Ye Dingxuan, so there is no reason not to cooperate with him. He also got up and said, "Such a big thing must be considered in the long run." However, as the representative of the Ye family, the largest family in the Celestial Empire, can I tell you a little bit of my thoughts? ”
"Of course, please." Lee Jung-hoon felt a little sweat on his back.
He investigated the identities of both of them. Zheng Feilong's identity, all he can find out is provided by the official. But Ye Kexin's identity, he is very clear. The only eldest lady of the Ye family, who holds many listed companies of the Ye family. The wealth is incalculable, and it is not much lower than the GDP output value of Goryeo.
Although she is not the person in charge, she came with Zheng Feilong, and the significance is extraordinary. She wants to express her opinion, even Jin Sanpang can't stop her. As foreign minister, Lee Chung-hoon naturally has no reason not to listen, and he must listen respectfully.
Ye Kexin took out a map from his briefcase. This is the distribution map of Ningdan City, a newly divided special economic zone. Ye Kexin pointed to the map and said, "As far as I know, Ningdan is a very poor place. If it is placed in our Celestial Empire, it is not even a city, it can only be said to be a quasi-town. In such a city, we need to spend a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to carry out economic and trade exchanges.
After all, such construction is not only economic and trade exchanges, but also represents the friendly cooperation between the two countries. So we put a lot of effort into it, but we can bear it.
But some problems have come. We plan cities, build streets, high-rise buildings. Many of these things had to be transported from the Celestial Empire to this side before they could be built.
Although Goryeo can supply some of them, most of the products are still not up to the quality of the materials required for the city we want to build. We want to build a cosmopolitan city comparable to Pyongyang, so that Korean people can truly feel the luxury of a non-capital city.
For buildings with hundreds of floors, of course, the materials must be strictly selected, otherwise it will be irresponsible to the people and to themselves. It is bound to be despised and ridiculed. Our Ye family, as the largest family in the Celestial Empire, and as a well-known family in the world, would never do such a thing. Two ministers, are you right? ”
"Of course. When we build a city, we will also be strict in the selection of materials. When helping some friendly countries build buildings and build bronze statues, they all strive to be the best in the world. Li Zhengxun took out some of his advantages in exchange for bargaining chips in the negotiation: "If your country wants to build bronze statues of great men on some iconic buildings, we can provide some help." ”
"Thank you, if there is any relevant business, I will definitely contact Minister Li." Ye Kexin took it indifferently and continued to return to her topic: "The problem I am talking about is the delivery of materials.
To buy something in the Celestial Empire, you must use the coins of the Celestial Empire, and it is impossible to use Goryeo's. But in Goryeo, the currency of Goryeo was used. One or two things, it's okay. There are too many of them, and there will inevitably be some trouble.
For such a huge project, the exchange required is needless to say. And this thing cannot be just a matter of currency exchange, there are many other problems. For example, the opening of wages.
The currency of Goryeo is not as stable as that of the Celestial Empire, and even the people of your country want us to issue the currency of the Celestial Empire. Naturally, the staff we sent from the Celestial Empire don't need to say more. Here's the trouble, most people have to open cash. So much cash was transported from the Celestial Empire, and it had to be approved, security personnel, and customs had to be passed, and then it was put at the security point set up here.
This is not only a great burden of manpower, but also very dangerous. The cost of building a safety point is also very high. We must come out of these things, and if we let your country do it, it will appear that we are greedy and trouble-free.
At this time, if you can open a bank, then all the problems will be solved. The profits we earn from the business of the economic and trade personnel of the Celestial Empire can completely offset the related consumption of manpower and material resources. And the huge tax revenue brought by the bank every year can help Goryeo to carry out better economic construction. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. ”
"Moreover, some cooperation with your country will be more satisfying." Zheng Feilong said meaningfully: "It is quite easy for the coins of the Celestial Empire to be exchanged for the currencies of other countries. It would be much more convenient for Chairman Kim to reward meritorious personnel like Minister Li and Minister Choi.
As important state personnel, the two ministers have worked hard and made great achievements, and it is impossible for them to enjoy only such living treatment. If you go on a business trip to the Celestial Empire, we will definitely be warmly welcomed. ”
Cui Fuming was already very excited, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he couldn't help but laugh. He was not a diplomat and did not have much opportunity to go abroad. But for foreign rumors, I don't hear less. For the yearning for the world of flowers, he is not less than ordinary Koreans. Zheng Feilong's words ignited the hope in his heart.
Lee Jung-hoon was also a little moved. Although he is the foreign minister, he is inevitably a little too high. The struggle in Goryeo is very fierce, and many people are staring at his position.
The gradual tightening of foreign policy in the past two years has put him under a lot of pressure. Creating some merits will naturally guarantee his position, but that will only be temporary. It is not easy to maintain this position for a long time, if he can make a concerned contact with these two people from the Celestial Empire, he can naturally sit more steadily.
These two people have a lot of energy, not only to help him hold his position, but also to create a better future for his children. After all, it is not easy for Koreans to go to school in a foreign country. Not only because of policy issues, but also because of high costs.
But the heart is heartbeat, Li Zhengxun didn't dare to just agree. Otherwise, Jin Sanpang wouldn't shoot him, that's a strange thing. stood up, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zheng Feilong and said, "We think the proposal of the two is very good, and we will report it truthfully." We hope that the cooperation in the future will be better and better. ”
"That's what we're hoping for." Zheng Feilong smiled very kindly.
"Wait a minute, I'll take you two to visit our construction team, after all, the future cooperation will be mainly in architecture." After Cui Fuming finished talking to the two, he sent Lee Zhengxun away.
"What do you think of their proposal?" Cui Fuming went out and couldn't wait to ask.
Lee Jung-hoon did not answer directly, but pointed to the tall buildings in Pyongyang and asked, "What did Minister Choi see?" ”
Cui Fuming didn't know what he meant, glanced at these high-rise buildings and said, "I have seen the glorious results of our continuous efforts since the founding of the People's Republic of China." These are things that would have been unthinkable decades ago. Now that everything has been realized, I feel very happy. ”
"Yes! All our dreams have come true, and we are very happy. Li Zhengxun was a little emotional, but suddenly sighed. Then get ready to walk to the elevator.
But Cui Fuming stretched out his hand to stop him: "Minister Li walks slowly, I still have a question." ”
"What?" Li Zhengxun didn't expect Cui Fuming to stop him, so he turned his face to look at Cui Fuming and said, "What is the problem, please say." ”
"Why did Minister Li sigh just now? Is it a dissatisfaction with Chairman Kim? Cui Fuming asked provocatively.
This is a big hat, and Li Zhengxun naturally can't admit it. Of course, in his heart, he is indeed a little dissatisfied with Jin Sanfat, but he will not say this. Zhengse said rhetorically: "Minister Cui should pay attention to what he says, Chairman Kim is a wise leader. Under his leadership, our national strength has continued to increase, the economy has continued to develop, and the people's living standards have gradually improved. If anyone dares to slander and insult our holy and wise leader, I will certainly not give up. ”
"Minister Li misunderstood." Cui Fuming shook his head, looked at no one on the left and right, and whispered in Li Zhengxun's ear: "I'm asking what if Chairman Kim doesn't agree?" First of all, I want to say that I agree. ”
Li Zhengxun looked back at this person who has always been flattering, and in his heart he looked down on this old man who could only make sycophants. Even if he agrees with Zheng Feilong to open a bank, it is only for his own interests. But Li Zhengxun knew that this person could not be offended, so he smiled slightly and said: "Chairman Kim is very wise, he will make a wise choice." ”
After speaking, he strode to the elevator.
