The saddest thing in the world is that there is no money for a beautiful idea!

Li Yuan didn't know what kind of expression to use.

I can't say that it's wrong to help refugees, but we have to do what we can. Our Lady was cool for a while, and now the construction of the country has been delayed.

Forget it, seeing Harden and Mr. Xia with sad faces, let's drink with them and comfort these friends!

“…… Mr. Xia, I have always forgotten to ask, how big is the scale of your hydropower project? ”

"More than $12 million. In China, it is the scale of small hydropower. Mr. Xia and Li Yuan drank a glass of wine, "Xiao Li, let me say it here, foreigners are hypocritical, and they also need environmental assessments, labor assessments, or something." Many are unnecessary costs. In our country, 30 million is guaranteed to be enough. However, even so, I was very sure about bidding at that time. We're just cheap, and counting those costs, we can still compress the winning bid price to about $10 million. ”

"So, if I give you $6 million, you can still complete the project?"

"You also need to factor in the cost of transportation. There is nothing here, even cement and yellow sand have to be shipped from China. But...... Reluctantly, right? If it's all paid in foreign currency, and the payment is timely, that's fine! ”

As soon as Li Yuan had an idea, he asked Harden: "Harden, didn't you just say that half of the funds were used?" If only $6 million is needed now, would you be willing to continue with the project? ”

"Of course I can't ask for it. It was said that it was a benefit to my father's tribe. Harden said, "But Lee, in addition to the 6 million, what about the gap in other funds?" Do you China help? We don't have anything of value here, we can't even find collateral. And we are brothers, and I won't lie to you either. Even if you are willing to advance the money, our tribe will definitely not be able to come up with the money, and the government will basically default on the debt in the future. Unless you are willing to help without compensation. ”

"Hehe, Harden. This cannot be done. We need to play a big game. ”

"A big chess?"

When it comes to painting flatbread, this is exactly what Li Yuan is good at. Anyway, being idle is idle, so Li Yuan simply planned for them:

"Harden, are you planning to build a $12 million hydroelectric plant? And in accordance with international practice, it is necessary to conduct strict environmental assessments, labor assessments, and so on. So that expense can't be saved? ”

"That's true." Harden nodded, "An important project like this will be focused on in Europe and the United States." If it is not in accordance with international practice, it will arouse great international public opinion. ”

Here, an explanation needs to be given.

Due to the key projects of our country, they are basically designed and built by ourselves. It is also only necessary to comply with our domestic laws and regulations. As for international public opinion? What the hell is going on with you? And almost no one in the country will care about this.

But most countries don't have the capacity. Especially in African countries like the Republic of Vila, they still have big dads and aunts such as Anglo-American law on their heads, so in this regard, they can only strictly abide by international practices. Can't you do it if you don't comply? Can't stand the pressure.

As for those environmental assessments, labor assessments, and so on, on the one hand, they do recognize that they have progressive significance; But on the other hand, it is a non-tariff trade barrier that restricts the entry of other countries. Make the cost particularly high, and absorb huge profits for European and American enterprises.

To put it bluntly, the main purpose is to restrict us in China. Ahem.

The other is the price of $12 million. A little lower is fine, but it will never make you a cabbage price.

Of course, the reason is also very strong - we European and American companies need 12 million, do you Chinese only need 6 million? That must be the tofu scum project!

This is also an industry access restriction. This should be understandable, if the price is a little lower, does not reflect the competitiveness of the price at all, customers will choose European and American companies? Or a Chinese company?

It wasn't until decades later, when they saw that even the Heavenly Palace had gone into space, that all countries around the world suddenly realized that there were really good things at a low price. Since then, China has also attacked cities and lands overseas, and finally made many goods into cabbage prices!

But here, Li Yuan uses a different set of game rules.

"That's good, Harden. We're still going to use $12 million. But half of it is paid in cash, and the other half is paid by your government in cash-for-work. ”

"Cash-for-work." Harden didn't understand because Li Yuan used this idiom spoken in Mandarin.

"That's right! Cash-for-work is the replacement of assistance for refugees with job opportunities. Now let's assume that Mr. Xia's company is the general contractor of the hydropower station project, but the government does not need to pay 6 million of them, as long as you arrange for refugees to work on the construction site? ”

Hearing this, Harden thought thoughtfully: "Lee, anyway, we have to spend money to help, just use it as labor costs?" ”

That's what it means. Moreover, it can bypass all unnecessary expenses such as environmental assessment and labor assessment. Is this a charity project? If anyone is against it, then let them aid 6 million dollars. Your country has run out of money and can only use this workaround? ”

"Oh!" Harden suddenly realized, "So you can still do this?" ”

"And so. Mr. Xia is here on behalf of the Chinese government, and he can help build another shipyard for you. There are only shipyards in the port of Sokir, not even shipyards for the construction of small fishing boats? With a shipyard, the future benefits can be split in half. Wait five or ten years, and then give you all the shares Vera. In this way, at least one or two million dollars can be earned, and Mr. Xia and they will not suffer. If it is well managed, it is entirely possible to establish a China-Vietnam Friendship Industrial Zone. Wood factories, machine factories and so on can be established. Slowly developing the industry of your country? ”

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

For the country at this time, the five small industries and small shipyards that have been eliminated are too special, and they can be bought at the price of scrap iron and shipped to several factories.

Harden was in high spirits, and as an industrial party, this has spoken to his heart. And it will also solve the problem of unemployment here.

And all parties get their own benefits.

First of all, there will be a hydroelectric power station, and later there will be several factories.

And the government of Villa would certainly welcome such a plan. Not only can it help its black brothers, but it can also paint a beautiful blueprint for construction? That's the achievement of the new cabinet!

As for the 6 million in aid? Even idiots know that it is impossible to spend so much money, it is nothing more than spending accounts. And if it can be made up from the treasury later? Let's divide it again...... Hehe. You can't say it, you can't say it!
