Chapter 514: Talks Collapsed?
"All damaged properties must be rebuilt within one month of the acquisition, and the contractor must employ members of the Kitland Coal & Rail & Building Union or be considered a breach of contract. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Before Lyubov could speak, Roland added a request to plug possible speculative loopholes.
Lyubov's face changed continuously, and he couldn't hide the chagrin in his heart. Roland's financing offer was indeed appealing to her, but it was not enough for her to simply acquire cheap land, and the time-consuming and laborious work of rebuilding houses and streets had always been subcontracted to local builders, and she calculated that she would buy the land and leave it there for three or five months, and if other builders rebuilt the city at the same time, as the surrounding environment improved, her abandoned plots would also appreciate in value, and they could be sold at a higher price, and they could be resold at a higher price, and they could be blackmailed to the city of Kitland - a large area of ruins was placed in the center of the city. It affects the appearance of the city and hinders the daily transportation of local residents, and the municipal authorities have to beg her to start construction as soon as possible in order to change the situation, so that she can take the opportunity to claim benefits.
Now that Roland shattered all her wishful thinking with one sentence, she was inevitably angry in her heart, and said with a cold face: "Don't think about interest-free loans, you can still negotiate according to the local market interest rate as a prerequisite for financing negotiations." ”
Roland was almost by her, if the interest on the loan was calculated according to the local market interest rate, which is the interbank offered rate (LIBOR) between the major banks in the Bend League, then would he be guilty of talking nonsense to her? Couldn't it be more convenient to find a lighthouse bank! It's just that Beacon Bank doesn't get involved in real estate investment in Kitland City, while the Yangbo Chamber of Commerce is relatively more experienced in this area.
After spending so much saliva in vain, Liu Bofu did not show enough sincerity, and no matter how good Roland's psychological quality was, he couldn't help but be a little irritable. Knowing that impetuousness would only make him passive in this difficult negotiation, he forced himself to calm down, and said to Lyubov in a reluctant, "If you insist on this, I have no choice but to give up the original intention of cooperating with the Yanbo family and raise money for the reconstruction of Kitland in another way." ”
Lyubov was surprised when he heard this: "Do you still have an alternative?" She didn't think it was possible for Roland to get a large loan from elsewhere that was more cost-effective than what she had offered, but it was Roland after all, a man with a mind full of whimsy, and she had to ask for it as a matter of insurance.
Roland nodded and said to her openly: "When I visited the trade fair yesterday, I had a new idea, since the securities market of the Bend Alliance is quite mature, I can issue a group of Kitland City redevelopment financing bonds to be sold publicly at the trade fair, so that the market can discover the true value of this investment, and I believe that there will be many far-sighted businessmen willing to contribute to the purchase of bonds." ”
Lyubov opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and it was as if a ball of sackcloth was stuffed in his throat. Had Roland not come up with this idea, she would not have realized that the fair's bill hall was also a market for direct financing. If Roland had decided to finance the reconstruction by issuing bonds instead of borrowing from banks, there would have been nothing to do with the Yangbo family.
So then again, is Roland's idea viable? Despite his reluctance, Lyubov had to admit: this trick is indeed feasible!
As Roland has just said, the benefits of investing in the redevelopment of Kitland City far outweigh the risks, and even she is tempted, so how could the group of bold guys at the trade fair who are looking for opportunities to make a fortune refuse to do so?
Before, she intended to take Qiao, and refused to accept Roland's request, just because she saw that in addition to the Yangbo family bank, it was difficult for Roland to find a bank that had a large amount of money and was good at operating commercial real estate to cooperate, so she could ask for a price all over the sky, and she was not afraid that Roland would not comply.
Now that Roland has proposed to issue bonds, the situation of both sides has taken a 180-degree turn. Indeed, although there are many merchants in the Bend League, there is no institution that can provide him with a huge sum of eight million interest-free. But Roland does not need to deal with just one, through the issuance of bonds to divide the total amount of financing into several parts, the capital can buy a little more, the capital can buy a little less, the amount of bond purchase is proportional to the income, a walk around the trade fair, digest the eight million bonds is only a matter of three or five days.
Roland really wants to do this, for himself, it is nothing more than to spend more formalities and more energy, and Liu Bofu will be in big trouble!
Just when she was restless, Roland said something that worried her the most at the right time, which hit her directly.
"The wind knows the strength of the grass, the road knows the horsepower, today I touched a nose of dust with you, fortunately, I have learned a lesson, and in the future, the people of Kitlander will also wake up to who is more worthy of sincere friends."
Liu Bofu forcibly endured the uneasy premonition, and pretended to be calm and said: "I don't understand what you mean by this, don't you and I not be friends if you don't do this business?" Or is Whitegull Harbor and Kitland no longer allies? ”
Roland didn't answer her complaint directly, and said indifferently: "Before I came to the North Bay, I was very naïve, naïve to think that the huge North Sea trade circle was just a White Gull Port, and after I came, I found that the world here is very big, and there is far more than one White Gull Port that has become rich because of maritime trade, so why should I hang myself on a tree, why don't I try to find more friends worth making in the city-states of the Bend League?" Multiple friends, multiple paths, right? ”
Liu Bofu's face sank, and his voice was cold: "In any way, the strength of Baiou Harbor is far stronger than other city-states, and our Yangbo family is the core of the Bend Alliance, if you want to leave me alone to make a deal, I'm afraid you won't be able to toss any tricks!" ”
Roland sneered, and replied-for-tat: "As far as I know, the Bend Alliance was born two centuries ago, and at that time, Baiou Harbor was just a small fishing village, and I didn't learn history well, so I want to ask you, who was the overlord of the North Sea trade circle before Baiou Harbor became the leader of the Bend Alliance?" What happened to the once-prosperous city-states? ”
Lyubov's beautiful face distorted slightly, and a subtle look of chagrin flashed in his eyes.
Roland's threat made her very unhappy, and what was even more infuriating was that what the other party said was true, but she couldn't refute it, because as Roland had warned before, she was not only a merchant, but also the lord of the 160,000 citizens of Baigull Harbor. The confrontation between her and Roland is not a simple business negotiation, but also mixed with many political factors, and the latter is even more important than the former. (To be continued.) )
