Chapter 183: Danger
Hearing Natasha's words, Zhang Longchu's eyes widened in surprise and said, "This is what you are asking for."
The first one sounded entirely for my sake;
The second is that living in the United States for 4 months a year is not a decent condition at all, and these can be exchanged for low-interest loans of RM60 billion and a new arms smuggling channel!
I'm not the illegitimate son of the president of the United States, why are you treating me so well, isn't there some conspiracy? ”
"You're so suspicious, young man," Natasha said with a sigh, "there's nothing about this deal, it's an investment in your potential, and if you think about it, the terms we offer are pretty good, but the price we pay is not huge."
First of all, although the loan of 10 billion meters is low-interest, but the actual interest rate of 3% is higher than the operating cost of the bank after absorbing deposits, the only advantage is that you do not need to provide a guarantee, but in fact, just the income of the land in your name is enough to repay the principal and interest of the loan, and the risk we take is actually very small.
As for the smuggling pipeline, anyway, according to the regulations, the elimination of arms is to be destroyed and then recycled as raw materials, and being able to sell them to you at cost price will save the cost of destruction, isn't it a double win?
Okay, don't be so suspicious, answer me now, are you willing to accept my terms? ”
Hearing this, Zhang Longchu looked at Natasha's eyes shining in the moonlight, and was speechless for a long time, before grinning after half a minute: "Of course I accept it, if it is really this kind of exchange of conditions that I take advantage of, I have no reason to refuse." ”
"Very well, then our deal is done.
I should have opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate, but I never drink alcohol at work, so I'll save it until the next time. Natasha had a satisfied expression on her face, "I'm only responsible for negotiating with you, and as for the follow-up deal, someone else will follow up, goodbye." ”
As she spoke, her body slowly floated into the air and instantly melted into the darkness, quickly floated out of the palace, rushed into the air, flew thousands of kilometers in the stratosphere thousands of kilometers above the ground, and landed on the deck of a fishing boat on the high seas.
After no communication with the dozens of sailors around her who were fishing for squid with spotlights late at night, Natasha strolled into the cockpit, came to a middle-aged man sitting at the rudder of the boat, looked out the window at the silver sparkling sea, and said, "It's done, Team Leader."
I have to say that the character profiles provided by your CIA (United States Central Intelligence Agency) experts are very accurate, and the behavioral patterns of our targets are indeed characterized by intelligence, suspicion and assertiveness, and subconscious hidden delusions of victimization and rebellious psychology... The 'bait' prepared is also suitable, thank you for your help. ”
The middle-aged man in a dirty suit, covered with fishy smell, sloppy and bearded on his chin raised his head with a yawn, turned his head to look at Natasha in the direction from which the voice came and said, "No thanks, Ms. Natasha, since the goal has such a high potential value, for the sake of Millican, of course we in the CIA will do our duty."
Leave the rest to us, we are the best at this type of overseas transaction. ”
"Well, in exchange, I'll personally lead a trip to West Africa to deal with that little trouble you have." Natasha nodded, smiled, turned and walked out of the cab, soaring into the sky again, disappearing into the night sky.
In the days that followed, Zhang Longchu did as Natasha promised, and within two days, he received a low-interest loan of 10 billion yuan from DuPont Bank from the Quanmi Industrial Development Association in the name of supporting overseas excellent plantations.
With this financial support, he was able to set up a standard mixed division of 18,000 people within two months, stabilizing the situation around the Mebizzy Mountains in one fell swoop.
At the same time, through a series of repairs and renovations of abandoned villages and towns in the plain area under the Maibiqi Mountain, the autonomous city government headed by Liu Junshan completed the overall resettlement of 60,000 remnants of the civil strife, and began to recruit immigrants to develop tea plantations and terraced fields in the mountains.
In fact, although there is no mineral production in the Mabiqi Mountains, the resources are relatively poor, but the land is very fertile, and the whole mountain range is green, and the fields reclaimed around the mountain roads are enough to cover millions of acres.
It is only because of the rugged terrain of the entire mountainous terrain in the past, and the artificial division into three parts, and the hostile relationship between them, that the governments of various autonomous counties have invested more than half of their fiscal and tax revenues in military competitions, and in the expansion and maintenance of roads and ports.
In addition, the instability of the situation led to the uneasiness of the local warlords, so most of the remaining tax revenue was transferred to their own secret accounts overseas by the separatist leaders, as a retreat in the event of defeat and exile, so that the share that could be used for people's livelihood construction was negligible, which led to the decline of the entire mountainous region.
Now that huge sums of money have been invested, durable roads and wharves have been built, more than two-thirds of the local army has been cut, and the burden on the population has been reduced from 600,000 to 60,000.
As well as the profits from the arms smuggling business in the frontier area of Kalimantan, all of which were invested in the capital construction of the Mebizi Mountains, the whole region quickly became rich after the population replenished to a certain extent and the industrial chain of cultivation was fully recovered.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is early spring, and the Spring Festival, the most important festival of the year for Chinese people, is approaching, and the whole Maibiqi Mountain has become lively and noisy unconsciously.
The new city of the municipality of Maibiqi, built near Nangang, a plain at the foot of the longer coastline, although only two streets of less than a kilometer intersected with each other have been built;
The tallest building is no more than 11 storeys;
The main inhabitants were city government workers, defense officers, and dock workers, but the comfortable climate, beautiful scenery and easy access to transportation have given it the prototype of a pleasant, seaside city.
In the early morning of the 30th day of the first lunar month, in a café that had just opened in a small city, Liu Junshan sat in the booth by the window, bathing in the warm sunshine;
While drinking a cup of bitter black coffee without sugar and milk, he held his mobile phone and said: "... The police, the tax office, the TV station... We have all the necessary departments in place, and I estimate that the number of people in the municipality will exceed 200,000 before the end of this month.
Because most of the new immigrants are Chinese families, the whole of the Mebizzy Mountains is now celebrating the Spring Festival, General.
As for the fiscal revenue, the current industrial structure of Maibiqi is still dominated by planting, rubber, tea, fruits... We can have a net profit of about RM25 billion a year, and our annual budget is also set with 25 billion as the target...
In addition to farmland, we also have a natural harbor, if it can become a transit station for ocean shipping trade, then the profit is amazing, in the past, because there was no city near the port, sailors did not even have a place to get off the ship to rest, let alone trade transit, now it is different, tens of billions of investment, the new city has a foundation...
We also have an innate advantage in tourism, and I plan to attract tourists to visit Maibiqi by sea while laying out the ocean shipping trade...
In short, general, through nearly half a year of understanding and research, I found that the development potential of the municipality is really great, and I am confident that the population here will be restored to 600,000 at its peak within 10 years, with an output value of more than 100 billion. ”
"Junshan, what I appreciate most is your confident tone," Zhang Longchu said with a smile in the phone receiver: "After spending the Spring Festival in Kuching City, I will take the first batch of trained officers of the Defense Force to South Korea for military training, and the Maibiqi Mountain Land will be handed over to you to govern, and everything will be done according to your own ideas." ”
"General, you, are you also going to go to South Korea for officer training?" Liu Junshan was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
The main reason why Zhang Longchu participated in the officer training on a whim was that through the formation of the Mebiqi Autonomous City Defense Army, he felt more and more that military command was a highly professional skill, and most of the victories he had achieved in commanding heroic soldiers by relying on cleverness or copying the art of war in ancient Chinese books were due to surprise and astonishing good luck.
In the future, with the continuous expansion of the world of strange things, the heroic warriors who can be created will inevitably become more and more powerful, and the number is bound to become more and more.
In addition, as described by CIA experts who made a rebellious profile of Zhang Longchu's personality based on his known life experience and various choices he had made, Natasha would probably not have accepted it at all if he had made it a bargain that Zhang Longchu had to go to South Korea, Millican's only ally in Asia, for military training.
But now it was Zhang Longchu who thought that maybe he should cooperate with the characteristics of the 'world' of strange things he possessed, and receive formal military education, so he directly added his name to the list of trained officers without any psychological barriers, and it was quickly approved.
However, the real reason can't be explained, so he laughed and said on the phone: "I'm the commander of the defense force of Mebiqi Autonomous City, and the local armed major general officially awarded by the Malaysian Ministry of National Defense, so I can't even shoot." ”
"That's right, after all, you are the leader of our Maibiqi, and there may really be a day in the future when you will command the defense force to defeat the enemy," Liu Junshan said approvingly: "It is indeed beneficial to receive systematic and formal military education in advance."
Then I wish you the best of luck. ”
"Of course, it's a mountain, don't forget that I'm extraordinary," Zhang Longchu smiled and said confidently: "I also wish you a happy Spring Festival in advance, goodbye." He hung up. (To be continued.) )
