The appearance of a young officer made Li Weimin decisively end his conversation with Li Yuzhen.

Pham Ngoc Cho, a Catholic, had just come from North Vietnam to join the new government, about 1.75 meters, on the fat side, relatively burly among the Vietnamese, with a straight uniform and a very energetic look, according to Le Ngoc Zhen, he was deeply trusted by Ngo Dinh Diem.

If memory serves, this guy is very unreliable.

Not only will he participate in and even carry out coups d'état, but he is also a spy sent by North Vietnam to divide the unity within the national army.

When Ngo Dinh Diem was employing people, he was recruiting talents everywhere, and he did not have a complete intelligence system, so he was not wary of these "surrenderers" or "returnees," let alone strictly censored them. And he had a background in the Catholic faith and an introduction from Ngo Dinh Li, and it took little effort to successfully infiltrate the Prime Minister's Office.

There is no evidence, and there is no obligation to expose it.

As if he didn't know anything, Lee left the Independence Palace and rushed to the Bank of East Asia's headquarters on Catina Street.

President Henry personally trained the new staff in the conference room, so he couldn't disturb his work, Li Weimin walked straight into the office of the assistant to the president, and waited for Qian Xinlin and Han Shuo while learning about the issuance of industrial investment bonds from Liu Jiahui.

Funds need to flee through channels, and after the maturity of industrial investment bonds, foreign exchange can be withdrawn at the official rate at that time, which just satisfies the psychology of those who want to transfer assets but have no way.

After Liu Jiahui finished making tea, he said happily: "Five-year bonds are very popular, especially after the launch of prize purchases. My brother and Vice Chairman Chen Shiguo decided not to issue additional shares in consideration of the solvency of the company, and now the full ten-year period of the offering. In addition to the prize purchase, we have successively launched measures such as buying 10,000 piastre bonds to get insurance, and using bond mortgages when funds are tight......"

"Five-year bonds alone will raise a billion?"

"Less than a billion, only 950 million, to include the sale costs."

No wonder people say that banks are the blackest and most profitable, and the help of the investment company can make 50 million by selling a billion Piast five-year bonds. Fortunately, the Bank of East Asia belongs to the Li family, and if you change banks, you will really feel distressed to death.

Li Weimin thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "According to the official price, it is more than 27 million US dollars, and according to the black market exchange rate, it is not even less than 20 million US dollars, which is only enough for the infrastructure construction of three industrial villages." If the 10-year bond sales are not satisfactory, I will ask the board to issue an additional billion five-year bonds.

And don't limit your eyes to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Thailand...... As long as there are Chinese people, they can be sold, and the interest rate can be appropriately increased. There are so many projects to be started, so many refugees to work, and there is so little money now. ”

Liu Jiahui is not Liu Jiachang, he is responsible for the Bank of East Asia, shook his head and said: "Young Master, the sale of 2 billion is the highest amount we can accept." If you can't cash it out at that time, people will not only look for an industrial investment company, but also look for our bank. As the assistant to the president, I am responsible to the bank and to the investors. ”

Li Weimin quipped: "Does my boss say it?" ”

"Independent operation, independent accounting, you really don't count."

"Then how did this 2 billion come from?"

"Although you raised it, our accountants and analysts have carefully assessed the risks and will send special personnel to the industrial investment company to supervise the use of funds. In other words, we can bear the risk of these 2 billion bonds, and we can't afford to give more than any more offering fees. ”

"Can't be accommodating at all?"

"No, unless we believe that the company will be solvent when the bond matures."

"I have long thought that the industrial investment company is just a platform, if the profit is not enough to repay in five years, we can privatize the power plant, the power grid and the water plant, or the joint-stock system, and take over to make money, and there will definitely be people willing to buy it. If it is taken abroad to be listed, let alone 2 billion piastre, it is no problem to pay back 4 billion. ”

Liu Jiahui reminded: "Young Master, it's more than 2 billion, you have to include the interest." ”

"Counted, if you think about so many factories and workers in the industrial village, industrial electricity, civil electricity, industrial water, and civil water, the whole cash cow can definitely be sold at a high price."

"I'm sorry, I didn't see so many factories, I just know that you have to take in so many refugees now. Even if there are so many factories and so many workers in the future, why should they sell at a high price? Master, starting a company is profitable, you can't confuse humanitarian undertakings with business. ”

Starting a company is profitable, but industrial investment companies are not.

It's a pity that he is not a member of the "Yuehua Literature and Art Research Association", and many things can't be explained, Li Weimin sighed lightly, and said with a bitter smile helplessly: "Okay, sell 2 billion first, anyway, you can only melt into Piast, and I will go abroad to find a way if it's not enough." ”

Liu Jiahui was too dedicated and responsible, and even reminded with a smile: "Young Master, overseas financing also has to go through our bank, in fact, there is no second bank other than us that is willing to take this risk." ”

"There is a debtor who is wronged, and people will only manage the industrial investment company if they want the debt, what does it matter to your bank?"

"If the company can't repay, our reputation will be damaged. Master, you are a financial student, and you should know what credit means to the bank. ”

When he met such a brainless man, Li Weimin was completely convinced, put down the cup and said with a smile: "Xiucai met a soldier, I can't explain it clearly, I won't tell you, I will tell your president." ”

"I can't get through here, and I can't get through it with the president."

Li Weimin stared at him and said meaningfully: "Jiahui, what you consider is risk and profit, and your president and I must not only consider risk and profit, but also politics. There is time to think about why the Bank of East Asia is able to open on Catina Street, and why it can engage in securities business like a stock exchange. ”

Liu Jiahui understood as if he had been enlightened, and asked cautiously: "Young master, are you saying that we must support the government?" ”

"The government gives us a franchise, and we have to take on some obligations."

There is no doubt that this government not only refers to the Independence Palace, but also to the White House in Washington, Liu Jiahui nodded: "I understand, no wonder my father always says that the current business is not the same as before, and they can't keep up with the times and can't do it." ”

As he was talking, Qian Xinlin and Han Shuo appeared outside the office.

Liu Jiahui knew that they had something to discuss, and immediately found an excuse to give up the place to the three of them.

After listening to the introduction, Qian Xinlin sighed lightly: "The Independence Palace has ambitions and masters, killing three birds with one stone, not only achieving the goal, but also making us unable to say anything." ”

As he said, relocating 30,000 Nong people to the Vietnamese-Cambodian border and stationing the Fifth Infantry Division there can not only help Saigon see the western gate, but also transfer back to support the nearest place if the political situation is unstable. At the same time, the dismemberment of the Nong people will be achieved, and there will be no more goals like the North Vietnamese Nong Autonomous Region.

Li Weimin held his chin and said lightly: "The plan is a good plan, the key is whether they have that control." ”

The United States is sparing no effort to urge the anti-Vietminh forces in South Vietnam to support Ngo Dinh Diem, and at the same time ask Ngo Dinh Diem to cooperate with all sectors of society and military leaders such as Nguyen Van Dinh.

However, the intensifying "Xin Yan incident" shows that Ngo Dinh Diem only wants the support of others and does not intend to cooperate with others. It will take time to deal with Nguyen Van Xin, and it will take time to level out the warlords, big and small. And he is now at an absolute disadvantage, he can't solve it if he wants to, he can solve it if he wants to, he can settle it if he wants to, he can't set himself on fire and kill himself first.

Thinking of this, Qian Xinlin couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Li, for us, it is a victory to be able to safely evacuate hundreds of thousands of villagers from Nong District to the south and settle down with the help of the United States. As for the Fifth Infantry Division, as for the two resettlement sites of Xining and Zhensha, let's take a step at a time. The legs are long on himself, and it is a big deal to retreat south again. ”

More than 300,000 people have been resettled in the south, and most of the cost comes from US aid, and all the land is allocated by the government free of charge.

Han Shuo thought so: "Yes, it is a great victory for us that so many people can receive assistance like Catholic refugees. ”

"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about the present, when do you plan to act, and how are you prepared?"

"Everything is ready."

Han Shuo glanced back and saw that there was no one outside the door, so he reported in a low voice: "Several squadrons have all secretly withdrawn, and with the cooperation of the Huaqing Association, they have secretly infiltrated the embankment. The most heinous and stubborn gang members and the owners of tobacco houses, underground casinos, and brothels were all arrested, and each arrest team acted at 11 p.m. at the same time, and withdrew as soon as they were arrested, so as to avoid clashes with the Pingchuan faction as much as possible. ”

"If you arrest someone under the nose of Qiyuan, you must be careful."

Qian Xinlin has been busy with this these days, and added with a smile: "We are very well prepared, the core members of several branches are all on standby, some are responsible for leading the way and recognizing people, some are responsible for covering, and some are responsible for assisting in the evacuation." Twelve cars were prepared by land, and more than thirty fishing boats were prepared by water. In addition, more than 20 temporary detention sites have been prepared in case the movement is exposed and cannot be evacuated. ”

There should be so many internal problems that should not be big, after all, it is a matter for the Chinese, and the police sent by Pingchuan only know how to collect tax protection fees, and never care about the internal struggle of the Chinese.

Li Weimin nodded slightly, and then asked, "What about after you catch it?" ”

Han Shuo said: "I reported to Ngo Dinh Kyo that he agreed to set up a special court, which will be heard by the legal experts and Vietnamese judges we invited in accordance with Vietnamese law, and the consulate of the Nationalist Government in Saigon will send a commissioner to observe the whole process, which should be fair and impartial." ”

"Where?"

"Vung Don, if you catch it, send it to Vung Don. Taking into account the reaction of the Binh Chuan faction, it cannot be tried in Saigon. ”
