Chapter 716 Reserve Gold in Advance

Although I can't guess what Xu Zhengdao's intention is to go to Jiangnan this time and go to Mingzhou. But for the Jiangnan side, they still attach great importance to this inspection trip. In their view, Xu Zhengdao must have his intentions in doing so.

Even after reporting and applying, the leaders of Jiangnan decided to personally accompany Xu Zhengdao to Mingzhou. Xu Zhengdao thought about this approach, but finally did not refuse. There are some things that the leaders below are not easy to decide.

If there is a leader, there is something to discuss directly with the other party, and it will be easier to talk about many things. To Jiangnan's surprise, Xu Zhengdao did not choose to take a relatively convenient train.

Upon learning of this situation, the officials who came to contact him could only say, "Yan Dong, although there is a provincial highway from the provincial capital to Mingzhou, the road conditions are not very good. It might be more convenient to take the train, you see?"

"I know this too, but I came to Jiangnan this time and decided to go to Mingzhou to have a look, also to learn more about the road traffic conditions along the way. For me, the quality of the road will also determine the cost of investment."

In the face of Xu Zhengdao's reasons, the province had no choice but to follow Xu Zhengdao's request. To their surprise, on the day of the trip, the staff of the office of the Mythical Group in Jiangnan drove several off-road vehicles directly.

Traveling in this off-road vehicle is naturally more convenient and faster than a sedan. Before that, the province also planned to find cars with relatively better performance from various units, but the mythical group directly chose to bring its own.

When the convoy set off from the provincial capital, Mingzhou also received instructions from the province and learned that the inspection team came by car, and the city leaders were somewhat surprised. Because they know that the traffic situation on this provincial road is not very optimistic.

Fortunately, Xu Zhengdao also knows that the kind of highway network that extends in all directions in the future is indeed a little unlikely for many places that have just implemented the policy of reopening. And the higher-level finance simply can't allocate so much money for highways.

Taking the opportunity of riding in the same car, the leader also asked, "Yan Dong, I heard before that your bank borrowed money from southern Fujian to build a highway. I don't know, has the road been built at the moment?"

"It's under construction! The first expressway is from the provincial capital of southern Fujian to the city where our iron and steel plant is located. In addition, this highway will also go directly to the port. With this road, it will also be faster to transport goods."

"Then aren't you worried about repaying the loan?"

Regarding the leader's confusion, Xu Zhengdao smiled and said, "Don't worry! In fact, as the country enters the fast lane, I believe that the emergence of expressways will also speed up the flow of materials in cities and counties along the expressway.

As long as there are cars on the road, then the high-speed toll stations can collect funds every year, and the number must no longer be a few. And this toll is constantly increasing every year. The loan they borrowed was just a little longer to be repaid."

Hearing this, the leader here also said in a timely manner: "Then the situation in Jiangnan, if you want to take out a loan to build a road, will the bank give a loan?"

"Of course! But only if you get permission from above. It's just that I hope you can borrow Chinese dollars instead of foreign exchange as much as possible. After all, the foreign exchange stored in the group's bank can't afford to borrow everywhere like this!"

Looking at Xu Zhengdao, who pretended to smile bitterly, the leaders also knew that this was the main reason why the above agreed to take out loans from southern Fujian to build roads. He borrowed foreign exchange from Shinhwa Bank, and then paid the provincial Chinese dollar in China for the construction of the expressway.

In this way, Jiangnan has the money to build highways, and it gets a lot of foreign exchange income. It seems that the real loss is still the mythical bank. This kind of loan, if other commercial banks in Xiangjiang were replaced, I am afraid that they would not lend at all.

"As for foreign exchange, there is indeed a shortage in China at the moment. If the above agrees to borrow, of course we also want to borrow foreign currency. In this case, the possibility of the above agreeing will be greatly increased!"

But in fact, Xu Zhengdao feels that the next Jiangnan should not worry about funds. As long as the project of the chemical industrial park is settled in Mingzhou, the land use payment paid in advance will also make Jiangnan make a lot of money.

Although this money ultimately needs to be handed over to the top for unified management. But the money allocated to build a direct highway to Mingzhou, Xu

Zhengdao felt that it was enough. Of course, if Jiangnan wants to borrow, he will naturally not refuse.

Because of his financial layout in the polar bear, he has harvested enough foreign exchange. Not to mention tens of millions or hundreds of millions of foreign exchange, even if it is hundreds of millions and billions, there is no problem at all for the mythical group at this moment.

Unlike the predators who plundered the financial wealth of the polar bears, a portion of the foreign exchange that Xu Zhengdao earned was converted into gold. Taking advantage of the current low price of gold, his investment funds are also constantly eating gold.

Even though some of it is paper gold, more of it is physical gold. All the gold purchased was also stored in the underground vault of the Xuanwu Security Headquarters. There are so many of them that even the security guards guarding the gold are not very clear.

The only thing these security guards knew was that the underground vault they guarded stored a lot of valuable items. Some of the customer's valuables stored in the bank are also arranged to be stored in this underground vault.

Underground vaults like this exist in many banks. But what other banks don't know is that Shinhwa Bank is now buying and storing gold on a large scale. When the price of gold explodes in the future, bank assets will naturally increase rapidly.

In the eyes of many people, the American knife seems to be worth a lot of money at the moment. Compared with this paper currency, Xu Zhengdao believes more in the preservation and appreciation of the value of precious metals. With so much gold in reserve, banks don't have to worry about money.

Looking at the villages and towns along the way, as well as the slightly frequent vehicles on the road, even if he sometimes passed through places with bad road conditions, Xu Zhengdao didn't say anything, just quietly looked out the car window.

For Xu Zhengdao, who returned from rebirth, he had also spent two years in Mingzhou in his previous life, and he really hadn't experienced this provincial highway leading to Mingzhou. Because at that time, the provincial capital to Mingzhou, there was already a convenient and fast highway.

But this different experience still makes him feel very fresh. But from another point of view, Jiangnan's current investment situation is indeed a bit not optimistic. It is also very important for investors to have clear roads.

If even the transportation of goods is a problem, then how dare investors easily invest in factories here?

In later generations, it only took about two hours to drive, but now it takes almost a day. Breakfast in the provincial capital, almost dinner when I arrived in Mingzhou. And the lunch meal is solved at the county restaurant on the way.

To the relief of the entourage, neither Xu Zhengdao nor his accompanying bodyguards showed any impatience. The only thing that made them nervous was that they still couldn't see whether Xu Zhengdao really didn't matter.

If he thinks the road is in too bad condition, he will give up his investment in Minnesota State. That is a great loss for Jiangnan and Mingzhou. For the accompanying leaders, I also feel that the two places really need a highway!
