Chapter 156 TEP Joins Joint Defense
Secondary base core: 15 meters long, 4.3 meters wide, 3.2 meters high, weighing 260 tons, without drive.
It must be connected to the core of the main base and share scientific and technological achievements in order to achieve independent operation, and the current maximum connection distance is 50,000 kilometers, beyond which it will lose all functions.
It inherits the characteristics of the core of the main base, has a certain construction range, and currently has a maximum radius of 50 kilometers, which can be expanded through radar and satellites.
Once the unit is dropped, it can no longer enter the hidden state (carry it around), and can be repaired by the Engineer if damaged, and cannot be repaired if destroyed.
The Commander must be placed in the unit before he can designate one of his personnel as a 'Commander's Deputy' to handle matters related to the secondary base.
Secondary Base Core 1 (First Generation).
Secondary Base Core 2 (not delivered).
Secondary Base Core 3 (not delivered).
β¦β¦β¦
Repair the Lab, the base rewards three secondary base cores.
Xu Fei originally planned to temporarily relocate them in Ji Province, Modu, and Guangzhou District to build a Hongqi automobile production base.
After the radar project is completed, the scope of the main base construction will be expanded, and then the core of the secondary base will be transferred to North America, Europe, and South America respectively.
But yesterday at the Humphreys base, it was found that the North American soldiers almost did not spend money on electricity, and they had not paid electricity bills for more than ten years.
Does this still need to be considered?
Gotta build it!
Immediately left a secondary base core, exchanged five basic production lines on the spot, ordered a batch of boxes overnight, and arranged for the Navy SEAL liaison to serve as the commander's deputy, guarding around the clock.
From now on, the Osawa Iron Toy Factory ceased to produce 'Quack Dynasty', and all the electricity supplied to the machinery of the Three Kingdoms.
The production line of the Dynasty will be transferred to Shoudi, and the daily output will exceed 3 million pieces, providing an additional 6 million energy per day.
And, with industrial robots, there is no need to hire someone to fold the cartons, just arrange for the SEAL team to transport and deliver the goods.
And if the South Stick is fully curtailed and all factories are shut down, it is estimated that the daily output can exceed 30 million pieces!
γ
Unfortunately, the substation and power supply line cannot bear it, and it will also have a series of negative effects.
'The first to issue regulations restricting the use of high-power electrical appliances, including water heaters, electric stoves, induction cookers, hair dryers, etc., are all prohibited, and require manufacturers to report the power of each equipment......
Xu Fei read the news, picked up the landline, and continued to contact the People's Bank of China to inquire about the available foreign exchange.
The other party told that although the superiors have been sending money around, it is difficult to recover those who have been taken out, and now only 1.2 billion US dollars can be lent to TEP for a month.
This is a drop in the bucket compared to the funds needed to acquire United Defense.
Xu Fei thought for a long time, sorted out the crude oil purchase contract, and consulted the World Clearing Bank for the mortgage loan in the name of TEP.
In general, a purchase contract cannot be used as collateral.
However, having a complete set of foreign trade procedures is equivalent to getting the ownership of crude oil, and crude oil is a hard currency, and its status is comparable to gold, so loans are basically not a problem.
It's just that the validity period of crude oil is only 2~3 years, and the failure to receive the goods is equivalent to bearing the transportation risk, and after talking for a long time, the World Clearing Bank will lend up to 3 billion US dollars for crude oil contracts worth 11.6 billion US dollars, and the interest rate is as high as 4.7% according to the five-year term.
Compared with the domestic level, it is not too high, but it is extremely high internationally.
However, the other party helped introduce the 'International Monetary Fund'.
Let's talk again, the latter gives a lower amount, only $2 billion, but the interest rate is as low as 1.5%.
Subsequently, in the name of TEP, Xu Fei consulted with the World Bank, which is responsible for the reconstruction project of World War II, the International Finance Bank, which focuses on the development of national private enterprise investment, and the Asia-Pacific Development Bank, which invests in infrastructure construction in the Asia-Pacific region.
Eventually, it will be determined that in the field of large loans, these banks are not interested in 'crude oil purchase contracts', but on the ability of TEP to repay.
It can be said that these banks will lend even if there is no collateral.
It's just that TEP is a new business, and with the exception of North American Tower, which has an international loan record, TEP's loan history is almost a blank slate.
In particular, the tower company's nearly 2 billion US dollar loan has not been repaid, which is equivalent to a negative evaluation.
Many international banks dare to give TEP loans, which is entirely based on the explosion of the three countries of machinery and the recent purchase of so much crude oil.
The quota is linked to the credit rating.
If you want to get a loan of 10 billion US dollars in one go, you need to borrow 2 billion this year, repay 2 billion next year, borrow another 3 billion during the period, and continue to repay 3 billion the year after......
There is borrowing and repaying, slowly accumulating, as long as you don't default, and then make the flow more beautiful, three or five years later, TEP can get a loan of 10 billion US dollars in one sentence.
As for collateral......
Cross-border operation, you mortgage the crude oil to me, in case you default, and your country happens to confiscate the crude oil, who do I ask for money?
In addition, the loan needs to be evaluated in various ways, from processing to lending, from half a year to two years.
When I get the money, I'm afraid that the name of the United Defense will be changed.
"Ah, destroy!"
Xu Fei slapped the toad monster on the table and completely gave up the international loan.
At the same time, I also understand the importance of whether the motherland is strong or not.
If the People's Bank of China has a 180 billion US dollar to help us acquire United Defense, it will not be easy?
If there are more multinational groups in Huaxia, each of which has tens of billions of dollars in cash, regardless of whether it is a competitor or not, under the guidance of the superiors, they will jointly fund to help Director Xiao Xu... No, helping Xiao Xu Shuji acquire United Defense is not a matter of course?
Therefore, to take the opportunity to support a large number of Chinese private enterprises, it is best to go public in North America, absorb American knives, complete cash-out, and then hand over the money to Director Xiaoxu......
Xu Fei flipped through the investment projects handed over to Liu Sixi to handle.
Tofu workshop, with total assets of 160,000 red banknotes.
Screw factory, with total assets of 250,000 red banknotes.
Bicycle factory, with total assets of 630,000 red banknotes.
Garment factory......
Hardware Factory ......
Stationery Factory ......
Shoes and hats factory ......
Tannery......
Twenty or thirty enterprises, large and small, combined, are not as good as a month's salary of Director Xiao Xu.
Don't let them mix with the world, I'm afraid that if it weren't for Zeshi, they wouldn't be able to get out.
"There is still a long way to go!"
Xu Fei lay on his desk, thought about it again and again, and was always worried about not being able to acquire United Defense.
The main reason is that the timing is too good, and once you miss it, it is equivalent to losing billions of dollars.
In addition, the Harsco steel grating company, a subsidiary of United Defense, is very suitable for its own appetite.
Thinking that at the beginning, when he suddenly obtained the core of the base, his first thought was not to make toys, but to go to North America to do steel business.
It is recycled from China and manufactured in North America.
Save taxes and fees, save transportation costs, and process semi-finished products at home, how profitable is this?
Even after entering the toy industry, Xu Fei still did not dismiss this idea.
Therefore, Daze Power will spend hundreds of millions of dollars to purchase steel from China and Wajima.
As of March, the number of receipts has been seven times that of last year's total output.
I don't know how the superiors counted it.
Xu Fei shook off the messy thoughts and continued to think about where to make money.
Sell technology, sell chariots......
There is no foreign exchange in their camp for the time being, and nine times out of ten they will give their gold mines and coal mines to their own homes, and then they will take out loans, which is no different from a mortgage crude oil purchase contract.
Therefore, like the M8 incident, it is necessary to sell a batch of low-end combat vehicles overseas.
"Second Secretary."
"I'm here!"
"Help me ask if there are any overseas countries that have purchased combat vehicles."
"What do you want me to ask?"
"Call and ask."
"Are we so reckless?"
"Otherwise, how can you ask?"
"That's... In the name of which company, United Defense? β
"It's best to save the diesel engine nameplate, and you have to change the template."
"Okay."
The second secretary made an OK gesture and eagerly clicked on the computer webpage to search for which country was at war.
Then contact the office of your own camp in the country and ask for the contact information of the country's top level in the name of the red flag.
When you get the number, you can switch the dialing device made by hackers and electrical engineers to connect to the satellite network and mask your mailing address.
"Crooked? Do you want chariots? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Don't you understand? do you want chariotsοΌ β
"All are ......"
Hung up the phone directly on the other side.
Undeterred, the second secretary continued to browse the web, saw a photo of Harden, blinked, pointed to the screen and turned back, "Factory director, he definitely needs it." β
"If you find his contact information, I will call you second sister in the future!"
Xu Fei rolled his eyes angrily, feeling that selling chariots was not very reliable.
After all, it takes one or two months to negotiate the price, sign the contract, manufacture/assemble, transport and deliver, and accept and pay.
"Could it be that joint defense has nothing to do with our own country?"
With this in mind, Xu Fei clocked out from work, ate and slept.
However, after tossing and turning all night, I couldn't sleep.
In desperation, I experienced the midnight expansion.
Next.
March 17th.
Early in the morning, Lao Gong, the head of the Daze Industrial Research Office, ran to the staff dormitory.
"Xiao Xu, wake up."
"What's wrong?"
"The jujube trees, cacti, and meat planted on No. 8 have all dried up."
"Isn't that normal? Think about the rules of Huang Nigang. β
"What do you mean?"
"You go to the embankment and hang it all night, and you'll know what it means."
ββ¦β¦β
"You see, Daze is all saline-alkali land, the wind and sand are big in winter, you run outside for half a day, your mouth is salty, not to mention the plant, hang a large piece of raw pork, and you can be naturally dried in three or two days, so there are rules of Huangnigang."
From the outset, Xu Fei did not approve of the experts' proposal to plant desert-type greenery.
After all, in the past thousand years, someone must have thought of it.
However, after the experts have explored the thickness of the permafrost, they will test the leaching layer, alluvial layer, regolith layer, and finally formulate a greening plan based on the landform.
The palace director lit a cigarette and said leisurely: "Aren't we going to engage in greening and air-dried meat?" β
"Then forget it, I'm worried that others will spread rumors that our river embankment has hung too much, and there is no place to bury it, so I will take it out and sell it for money."
"That's a bit outrageous."
"There's a cross slope to the north, you know?"
"Where does the Water Margin sell steamed buns?"
"Look, I'll mention it casually, you can come as soon as you open your mouth, how can you open a bun shop?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Forget it, let's not do it yet, when we have money, get a few super large excavators, and dig up the whole Daze."
"Do you raise fish?"
"I'm still sailing, take the Yellow River into the sea!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Calculate the time, the first batch of crude oil is almost time to arrive, you help me look at it, more than 300 large cellars have been dug in the north, don't let the children run over."
"Yes."
In addition to the main modules, there are some strange things in the technology list.
Previously consumed a small amount of energy, and fixed a large number of icons.
These include fences, bunkers, portable toilets, civic hospitals, oil drums, cellars, bars, bridge maintenance huts......
Later, the power grid, gates, ammunition boxes, army tents, fuel depots were repaired......
Recently, Xu Fei discovered that there are at least ten non-major modules, and 500 million energy cannot be repaired.
That's weird.
However, think of the bridge maintenance hut, which can build a bridge overnight.
Think about the 'three cows' that the base gave to the commander, and you can milk the cows when you are full.
Think about it, storing oil drums full of crude oil in the cellar can extend the shelf life of crude oil.
Perhaps, these non-major modules, which require hundreds of millions of energy to repair, also have some strange uses.
After Xu Fei separated from Director Gong, he washed up, ran to the canteen to fill his stomach, came to the workshop office, and clocked in to work.
Last night, in the name of TEP's acquisition of United Defense, he asked the military division and operation center to give advice.
The latter two both say, wash and sleep.
In the absence of mortgage loans, foreign exchange loans, and support from multinational companies, we will not be able to take out $8 billion in any case.
Therefore, Xu Fei took out his mobile phone and planned to ask Raymond, can you give me the company first, do you owe the money first?
Unexpectedly, before he pressed the number, Raymond called.
"Xu, Mr. Strauss, are you interested in joint defense?"
"Old Lei, you seem to be in a hurry."
"What do you think? The payment for M8 has been spent by me, and even if I deliver, I don't have much money on hand, and the funds invested by Carlyle are trapped at both ends...... The Carlisle consortium is not only selling United Defense, but also selling Disney amusement parks, Hard Rock Cafe, and Porsche sports cars. β
"Wait, Disney? Do you own Disney? β
"It's a Disney amusement park, and it's all invested in us."
ββ¦β¦β
"You're surprised by the Porsche sports car, and it's ours."
ββ¦β¦β
"Including two railway transport companies, Fargok Telecom, Netherlands Telecom, ......"
"Alright, you!"
"Xu, now is not the time to brag, have you asked Mr. Strauss for me?"
"I asked, but the old man said that there is no money on hand now, if you are willing to hand over the company to us, the money is owed first, and he may consider it."
"That is, Mr. Strauss, who intends to acquire United Defense?"
"yes, that's kind of what it means."
"That's fine, we can settle the payment now."
"Huh?"
"I sold 2,000 hounds, 423 of which sold for $5 million and 317 for $4.5 million...... It is estimated that it will be difficult to sell at this high price in the future, Xu, for the sake of my desperate shooting of the promotional video, I personally reserve a little commission, not too much, right? Don't worry, I'll help you stay with your little commission. And the rest is enough to pay for the purchase. β
"What do you mean?"
"Yes, the money due to TEP can buy United Defense."
ββ¦β¦β
"Xu, aren't you happy?"
"Old Lei, not many people know about this, right?"
"Do you know KFC?"
"What do you mean?"
"Xu, I promise, you will be like that colonel, hang the bust on the front of the store and become a brand symbol!"
