1057 State loans to private individuals (II)
This is not surprising to everyone, and it is completely unbelievable that a government should take out a loan from a private owner.
Of course, this kind of thing has not happened before, but when it appears on Yun Fei's body, it has to be strange. What's more, this is a small African country that is lending money to a private boss of China, which makes everyone surprised.
There is no relationship between the two sides, this is the first contact, why did you talk about borrowing money?
"We know that this is a very unruly thing, but now our Maoist government really has no choice, government workers have not been paid for more than eight months, and military soldiers have not been paid for more than five months. Once you can't get the money, President Taya is likely to be overthrown...... "Your face is very stern, this matter is not a face-saving thing after all.
If it weren't for the unexpected appearance of the Chinese, they might have no way to go except to agree to the French government's demands.
More than half of their income comes from ore exports, and now the ore has been only exported, and they have not received any money, after all, this thing is used to pay off debts......
"Mr. your, I think you should ask our national bank for a loan, I personally don't have much money in my hands." Yun Fei said with a frown.
These guys are completely slaughtering themselves as wronged.
It's better to say that this is a loan, but rather to say that it is financial aid. This is a normal thing for a strong country to be a weak country, but for a private boss of oneself to lend to a country, this is completely a bit of a fantasy.
It is estimated that the Maoist government really can't find a source of funds, otherwise it wouldn't be what it is now.
However, since banks in various countries are reluctant to lend to Mao, this shows that no one has the confidence to recover these loans. When the time comes, it will become a dead debt. African countries, apart from receiving economic aid, have a hard time getting loans even from the World Bank.
Not to mention borrowing from commercial banks in other countries.
Even if there are abundant mines as collateral, it is all in vain, and in the event of a rebellion, the new government will directly abolish all kinds of agreements between the original government and foreign countries, which makes these contracts a dead letter.
Yun Fei sold equipment in Mao, for the safety of funds, didn't he also drag the most influential people in their country into this project?
"Nope. Mr. Yun Fei, perhaps I didn't understand enough, this loan is included in the conditions of this contract. It's just that on the bright side, this will cause some bad effects. That's why I'm looking for you privately......" As soon as he said this, the look on your face became natural.
He was also very opposed to this.
After all, that's what Taya meant.
During this time, Taya was driven crazy by money, as long as he agreed to the request of the French, the financial aid of 300 million US dollars would definitely go to their treasury soon, and any problems of the entire Mao country would be solved. But this way. It will make the sovereignty of the entire Mauritanian state more severely trampled.
There is no ore, no oil, and if their country wants to develop its economy, it is nothing more than nonsense.
"Mr. your. Doesn't that seem like a common sense? As soon as he heard this, Yun Fei's face suddenly became gloomy.
These grandsons want to do this!
"There are more people doing everything, so it's natural common sense. Mr. Yun Fei. Once such a case succeeds in our Mao country, I think there will be many more countries throughout Africa that will adopt this model. Your company's influence and assets in Africa will exceed that of any other country. "For Yun Fei's thoughts. Your thinks he knows it very well.
Yun Fei kept saying that they were private bosses and had nothing to do with the country, but he asked for the right to garrison the army, and he asked to carry heavy weapons into the territory of their Mao country, if there was no shadow of the country, he would not believe it anyway.
But in fact, this is the same thing, every qiē is Yun Fei alone.
The government doesn't even know what their specific agreement is.
"What if we don't agree?" As for things that have influence in Africa, Yun Fei is not a politician, and he has no thoughts at all. There is even less interest. But at present, these things obviously make people feel very uncomfortable.
"If you don't agree, I guess we won't be able to continue this cooperation." Ul stared at Yun Fei intently and said very seriously.
"Are you threatening me?" Yun Fei immediately laughed, then turned to Wang Zixin beside him and said, "Inform the people who are negotiating that the company will give up its business in Mao, and the negotiation will be terminated!" ”
Although this matter is said to have very rich profits for Yun's Holdings, Yun Fei is not a person who is easily threatened.
Your may not have inquired about his character or anything before he came, these things, for Yun Fei, don't do it, it's just to make less money. Even if he makes money, he doesn't make much, after all, the most important thing is to think about the whole country.
In particular, there are many of these ores in dozens of countries throughout Africa.
People who enter the African continent, because of the chaotic environment in Africa, most people invest in diamond mines and precious metals such as gold and silver, and even if there is chaos, it is very easy to recoup the investment.
In a resource mine like iron ore, the investment is large, and the return on investment is slow, and in an unstable environment, investing in this is really asking for trouble for yourself. Unless there is a large army to defend these assets.
Generally, those who have an army are countries, and most countries have little interest in occupying some of these resource mines, and things that can be solved with money, and in this year, there are often very few countries to risk the condemnation of the world, and peace and development are the mainstream of today's world.
And no company dares to set up a huge army dedicated to guaranteeing these assets of theirs. As a result, some large security companies, commonly known as mercenaries, began to emerge in this world. However, these security companies need funds to fight wars, and the longer the time, the more people die, and those companies will have to go bankrupt.
"Please wait, Mr. Yun Fei. We are not threatening you. It's just that we want to get some of the money to solve our problems. If we reach an agreement between the two sides, but there is a rebellion in our country, and this government is down...... "As soon as he saw Yun Fei like this, Ulton became anxious. "If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, we wouldn't have come up with such an idea. If we could borrow money from other banks, we wouldn't be like that. Over the years, in addition to your Hongqi Machinery willing to invest heavily in our country, there has never been a company willing to invest in us, and most of all the mines are still in an undeveloped state......"
Your words were almost uttered through gritted teeth.
This reveals their helpless mood.
For something like this, few people would be happy to happen. But there is no way.
Mauritania is too poor.
The entire West African Union is too poor.
The African Union is even poorer, and there are few countries on the entire continent that are not poor, except for South Africa. South Africa, on the other hand, is rich in gold and diamonds, and because of its strategic location, most of the shipping routes had to pass through them before the Suez Canal was opened.
This makes South Africa have a lot of industrial and economic bases before independence, and foreign trade, processing and manufacturing are very developed.
"How many do you need?" Yun Fei sighed in his heart.
When people are poor, their ambition is poor.
A director of the National Security Bureau, mixed up to the point where it is now, is really depressing.
"If your country's mining equipment can enter our country soon, it only takes about 100 million US dollars to solve the difficulties encountered by our government......" As soon as you heard Yun Fei's question, and then saw the expression on Yun Fei's face, he immediately felt that these words were still very useful.
"Mr. Yun, you can rest assured that as long as our government survives this crisis, we will soon sell the backlog of ore in our hands to pay off this debt of 100 million dollars. Of course, we will not borrow this money in vain, we will repay it at 15% interest, and the loan term will not exceed one year, of course, if you need ore, we can even directly use ore to repay this loan......" Your gritted teeth said to Yun Fei.
"How many tons of iron ore do you have? How's the taste? Yun Fei was immediately surprised, did these guys still have private goods all these years?
Since 1980, the world's iron ore has basically remained at about $20 per tonne, and even if the price fluctuates, the magnitude is very small. However, since 2,000 years later, as China's domestic demand for iron ore has grown, most of the international mines are in the hands of foreigners, and the Chinese Ministry of Mines has become more and more difficult in the process of bargaining with the three major mines.
So, after 2,000 years, the price change of iron ore in China is much higher than that of the entire market.
"17 million tons of iron ore, 130,000 tons of copper ore, the taste of these ores is higher than that ......provided by the international market," Wuer's words immediately made Yun Fei's eyes shine.
"What about the price?" However, if this price is too high, there will be no benefit.
Price is the most important thing.
If there is a huge interest, you can give it a go and gamble in it. (To be continued......)
