At the negotiation table, Sun Lei used Indonesia's anti-Chinese tradition as an excuse to bite the bullet and only cooperate in the development of oil and gas resources and minerals, refused to invest in the construction of petrochemical and smelting enterprises, and tied the infrastructure reconstruction work to the negotiations. Under the negotiating table, he used his previous connections in Xingtian Society to instigate interest groups such as Pertamina (Indonesia's national oil company) to put pressure on the Indonesian negotiating team.

After difficult negotiations and a group of interest groups, Mustafa and his wife finally reluctantly gave up the requirements of mortgaging oil and gas fields and buying shares, and the two sides cooperated in building petrochemical and smelting enterprises, and reached an agreement on cooperative exploration and development of oil and gas resources and minerals in East Java, Sumatra and other places.

……

With the repeal of all discriminatory laws in Indonesia's parliament and the signing of the long-negotiated agreement on infrastructure reconstruction, Far Eastern Bank partnered with the Bank of East Asia to provide the Indonesian government with an initial loan of HK$13 billion to rebuild bridges, railways and other transportation facilities that had been blown up by guerrillas.

According to the agreement between the two parties, the rebuilt bridges will be invested and benefited by both parties in the form of concessions, which caused a sensation in the whole of Indonesia for a while. To this end, the Indonesian government held a press conference to explain and explain to the people by the new Minister of Transportation, Abdullah Badawi.

"We in Indonesia have suffered a severe financial crisis, and the government can no longer afford to rebuild those bridges and railways, so we can only operate them commercially, and restore the transportation between Jakarta and Surabaya and the outside world."

"Yes, the model we are currently adopting can effectively use social funds to complete the construction that the government cannot complete for the time being."

"Dear journalists, Indonesia is an archipelagic country, and the transportation facilities are strict and backward. If this model proves to be effective, we can spread it to the whole country and improve our traffic situation in the shortest possible time.

……。 ”

There was a soft 'pop', the TV that was broadcasting the news was turned off, and Sun Tzu clearly signaled Li Chengkai to talk about the situation.

"Akai, how about letting you find out?"

"Ming", as soon as he said one word, Li Chengkai immediately changed his words: "Mr. Sun, the members of Jakarta and Surabaya are not very interested in plantations, but many members in Medan and Palembang in Sumatra have the intention of doing so. We have counted a total of 5,730 people who are interested, and only 1,124 of them have a certain economic strength.

We counted these 1,124 people again, and if we want to support these members, we expect to provide loans of HK$3,631.48 million.

Mr. Sun, most of the members are still building, can you come forward from the club to form a sales company to help you contact the sales channel. If they sell their products to those processing companies or foreign traders, they will be depressed and may also incur arrears. ”

Wang Zhongsheng, who rushed over from Surabaya, heard that Li Chengkai was no longer called 'Brother Ming', but Mr. Sun, and hurriedly reminded: "Mr. Sun, at present, a considerable part of the processing and export of agricultural and forestry products such as coffee, cocoa, and palm oil are controlled by our members. If we set up a sales company, will it cause dissatisfaction among those members? ”

was called 'sir' by two classmates one after another, Sun Ziming had a faint bitterness in his heart, and as soon as this thing was touched, it meant a grade.

In this way, all our products are sold to our members, but they must not deliberately underprice and default on payment. If someone violates, they will be blacklisted and our members will be banned from selling products to him in the future. Any other comments? ”

Wang Zhongsheng hurriedly raised his hand again and said, "Mr. Sun, some of our members from difficult families, let me ask you, can you apply for a loan from the bank with a guarantee from the association?" They promise that they will pay off the loan as soon as they make money, and they can also use the product to offset the loan. ”

When Li Chengkai heard this, he immediately retorted: "President Wang, do you have collateral in the meeting?" This is business and cannot replace principles with morality. If Mr. Sun agrees to your request, those destitute members will take a risk, and if they fail anyway, they have nothing to lose.

So who is responsible? You? Or is it the bank, or is it up to Chairman Sun to admit his bad luck in the end? ”

"If Freemasonry can't help each other, then it's better to call it a Chamber of Commerce!"

"Why is there no Freemasonry? The interest rate of commercial loans is 5% per annum, we only charge 3%, and we allow you to pledge 80% of the underlying property! Which commercial bank have you ever seen that offers such generous conditions? ”

The two argued together, and Yang Guozhong, who had just arrived from Moscow, couldn't help frowning slightly, which touched the contradiction between business interests and political interests.

Li Chengkai's concerns are not unreasonable, if members who have no financial strength can also take out loans, it is bound that a considerable number of people will take risks and transfer the risk to Freemasonry. Freemasonry was founded with the support of the Far Eastern Group, which is equivalent to transferring the risk to the Far Eastern Group and the Far Eastern Bank; Wang Zhongsheng is not wrong in what he said, since it is a Freemasonry, it should not only support those members who have a certain economic foundation, but also give those poor members a chance.

Sun Ziming is not contradictory, because he is very disgusted. This is not a matter of one or two members, there are more than 5,000 interested members, and only more than 1,000 have the strength. If, according to Wang Zhongsheng's opinion, at least two or three thousand members may take a risk, it means a risk of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars! Although the Far Eastern Group was founded by him, he was also a large group of shareholders, so he couldn't force everyone to agree, right?

What's more, Wang Zhongsheng's request touched a taboo of Sun Ziming: moral kidnapping.

There are no saints in this world, and no one can be expected of them by the standards of saints. If a request that does not conform to the norms of business, but seems to conform to traditional morality, there is a great opportunity and benefit to be obtained, and that is to ask him Sun Tzu Ming according to the standards of a saint.

'Cough cough cough', Sun Lei, who had clear eyebrows and eyes, coughed a few times and interrupted: "Or, put it aside first, right?" First of all, those who explore oil and gas fields and exploit mines are discussed in advance? ”

Sun Ziming nodded, put it aside for the time being, and let Yang Guozhong talk about those exploration and mining matters.

"Well, Guozhong, you know more about these things, what do you think?"

Yang Guozhong opened the map and said with a wry smile: "My engineers have analyzed the geographical structure of these areas in detail, and theoretically belong to oil and gas rich areas, but in fact, only God knows." Exploration has always been a matter of luck, and we can only ask the Bodhisattva to manifest himself.

Ziming, we are going to start with the East Java area, firstly, small oil fields have been discovered here, which is more certain, and secondly, the infrastructure is better, which can reduce a lot of costs....... ”

Exploring oil and natural gas is a gamble, and if you succeed, you will make huge profits and lose money, and everyone will look at God's face. At this point, everyone has been mentally prepared since they decided to participate in Indonesia's oil and gas development

"Well, you have your own idea. I discussed with the third brother, after the cross-shareholding of Chinese and Russian companies, you will also serve as the chairman of Hanhua Energy, what do you think? ”

"Okay, you decide, I'll do it."

Yang Guozhong agreed freely, signaling that his business was over, Wang Zhongsheng hurriedly wanted to make a request again, but asked his classmate Li Chengkai to twist his feet under the table.

Sun Ziming also pretended not to see those small movements, got up and said, "Okay, let's stop here today." Guozhong, come with me to the house of Lin Shaoliang, who intends to sponsor our national reconciliation plan. ”
