"Since the establishment of the Global Development Bank, other investments are not counted, a total of 14.83 billion US dollars of loans have been provided to 13 countries, including Australian interests, Spain, Thailand, China, Algeria, Tanzania and other countries, but the countries that have submitted loan requests to the Global Development Bank are not the only countries, other including Myanmar, Uganda, Kenya, Guinea and other countries have been rejected, some media say that this is the Global Development Bank is engaging in racial and ethnic discrimination, what do you think?"

"In fact, it is very normal for the Bank to reject the loan requests of some countries, the Bank is a commercial bank, it is not a charity, for each country that makes a loan request, the bank will conduct a professional and detailed assessment, including whether the domestic political situation is stable, whether the country's external environment is stable, government credit, repayment ability, etc., only to meet the requirements of the bank will enter the next step of the process, that is, to determine how much loan should be provided to the country that meets the requirements."

"Countries like you mentioned, such as Guinea, have been at war since independence, and the country's credit registration and repayment capacity are very low, and there is almost no guarantee of security in lending to such countries, let alone the Global Bank, even the World Bank will carefully consider it, and other countries, such as Myanmar, Uganda, Bangladesh and other countries have more or less similar problems."

"As for the so-called racial and ethnic discrimination, it is nonsense, and among the countries that provide loans from the Global Development Bank, there are not only countries such as Australia and Spain, but also countries with rapid economic development such as Thailand and China. There are also African countries like Algeria and Tanzania, and Kenya has also provided $2oo million in humanitarian aid. ”

"Therefore, the rejection of loan requests from certain countries by the Global Development Bank is completely normal business practice, and has nothing to do with any political policy. It is unlikely to be racial or ethnic discrimination. Moreover, it should be pointed out that the rejection of loan pleas from certain countries now does not mean that they will be rejected in the future, and this will vary according to the specific situation. Take Kenya as an example, although the current political situation in Kenya is relatively turbulent, I am still very optimistic about Kenya's political and economic prospects, and I will not rule out providing loans to Kenya in the future. ”

Susan nodded and said, "I also think that the behavior of opening a global bank is very reasonable. It is a private financial institution, and its main purpose is to make money, so ensuring the safety of loans is the first thing it considers when providing loans to a country. ”

"But you seem to have a soft spot for China. According to the information I have, the first loan of US$200 million was made to China on July 19, and the second loan totaling US$2.5 billion was made to China on January 28. ”

"Together, the two loans account for almost one-third of the total outgoing loans provided by Global Development Bank, and I am curious that Global Development Bank made such a decision for purely commercial purposes and considerations. Or is there a personal emotional factor in it, Mr. Gu? ”

Gu Chen said without hesitation: "It must be purely commercial in nature." Again, I'm a businessman, not a politician, and Global Bank is not a charity, and the reason why Global Bank has made two loans totaling $4.5 billion to the Chinese government is because of China's huge potential. As we all know, now China is undergoing economic reforms, and so far some results have been achieved. Moreover, China's politics are relatively stable now, and there will not be much turmoil in the future. Therefore, I have every reason to believe that as long as the Chinese government continues to promote economic reforms, China's economy will be able to maintain the current and even faster growth rate. ”

"In fact, as I said earlier, China has a population of more than one billion, which is a huge market in itself, and domestic demand alone can keep China's economy growing at a high rate for quite a long time. Finally, if you have a serious understanding of Chinese history, you will realize that since ancient times Chinese have been very industrious, not only very good at making money, but also willing to put in hard work in order to live a better life for themselves. Just like many well-known rich people in Hong Kong now, they all lived in China when they were young, and then came to Hong Kong for various reasons, when they first arrived in Hong Kong, they were almost empty-handed, relying on working for people, and even working as coolies on the construction site, earning the first pot of gold in their lives, and then after decades of unremitting struggle, they finally have their current achievements. So as long as you give the Chinese a chance, the energy they burst out is absolutely unimaginable. ”

Susan pondered for a moment: "I have heard some of what you said, as if Mr. Li Jiacheng was an apprentice repairing clocks when he was young. Seeing Gu Chen's smile, Susan also smiled and said, "Maybe what you said is right." ”

"Now let's turn the topic to your old line of films, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty Film Company, Hong Kong films have accelerated under the drive of Tang Dynasty films, almost monopolizing the entire Southeast Asian film market, and also occupying a large part of the market in Japan and South Korea, and is recognized by the world as the world's largest film production except for Hollywood. Since last year, Hong Kong has had four films listed in North America, all of which have achieved very good results, especially "Blade" and "Resident Evil", while achieving amazing box office, it has also shown the world the strength of Hong Kong's special effects films, so some people think that Hong Kong is challenging Hollywood, what do you think about this, I think the whole Hong Kong should be the most vocal. ”

"Challenging Hollywood is Hong Kong's goal, but now Hong Kong is already challenging Hollywood, I think it's too early, Hollywood has the world's most advanced film industry chain and film manufacturing technology, Hong Kong is still lagging behind in this regard, but this kind of hardware facilities, I believe Hong Kong will catch up one day. However, Hong Kong has a fatal flaw compared to Hollywood, and that is the market. ”

"In Hollywood, a big-budget sci-fi film can make a profit as long as it is not made too badly, which can stimulate film investors to invest their profits again in the production of films, so as to form a virtuous circle and ensure that Hollywood can continue to move forward."

"But in Hong Kong, even if a big-scale film is good at the box office, it can basically only recover its costs, at most it will make a slight profit, and if you are not careful, you may lose all your money, which is full of unpredictable risks, which limits the enthusiasm of film investors to invest in large-scale films."

"In the future, large-scale films with large investment and a large number of special effects technology will be the mainstream of film festivals, and if Hong Kong can't catch up with Hollywood in this regard, there is no way to challenge Hollywood, and it may even be caught up by some latecomers, or even surpassed."

Susan asked, "So you bought two cinema companies, EKG and AMC?" This should open the door to the North American market for Hong Kong films, right? ”

Gu Chen said a little helplessly: "You are right, but the difference in culture and values is destined to not be able to survive in the North American market, just like some classic comedies in Hong Kong, Hong Kong people can laugh when they watch it, but Americans may not know what the movie is talking about at all, let alone what Hong Kong people are laughing at." So even if I buy EGK and AMC, the only movies that will be released in North America will be really well-made and in line with American tastes. ”

Susan nodded understandingly, she had seen a movie by a comedian named Chow Xingchi in Hong Kong, as far as she knew, this Chow Xingchi was very famous in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, but she really didn't think those shoddy movies were anything good.

"I heard that in a few days, the fantasy action blockbuster "Legend of the Night" jointly produced by Tang Dynasty Films and Hong Kong Golden Harvest Films will be released simultaneously around the world, judging from the content of the promotion, it seems that "Legend of the Night" and "Blade" are a bit similar in terms of character setting, what do you think of this movie? Do you think it can continue or surpass the glory of "Blade" in North America before? ”

"Yesterday I just took the time to watch the release version of "Tales of the Night", I personally think it is very good, I believe that the audience who walks into the cinema will not be disappointed, as for how much box office can be achieved in North America, I can't give you an accurate number, I can only say that it is more exciting than "Blade".

Susan looked down at the question draft again, and said with a smile: "After talking about so many strict topics, let's talk about something light-hearted, in mid-September, your first child was born, and now you should have grown up a lot, can you tell me how you feel about being a father?" ”

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Now the little guy is indeed much older and cuter than when he was born." To be honest, this feeling is quite amazing, I was quite excited at first, but there was a feeling that it was not very real, and then it took a long time to gradually get used to it, and overall it was pretty good. ”

"I can tell the smile on your face." At this time, Susan suddenly changed her words and said, "Now that you even have children, I don't know when you plan to get married?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but be stunned, because there didn't seem to be this question in the question draft, his doubts were quickly answered, only to see Susan shrug her shoulders and say, "This is just my personal question, you don't need to answer it." ”

Gu Chen smiled dumbly and said: "I don't have this plan for the time being, I think it's good to be like this now, it's no different from getting married, because I will be responsible for them." (To be continued......)
