【112】Mortal Loan

According to the spirit of the central arrangement, General Ling of Huahui contacted Xiaoqiang. After sitting in the conference room of the Ministry of National Defense, he exchanged a few words and then got to the point:

"Xiaoqiang, I heard you said last time that you still have the intention to purchase this year, right?"

"Yes, not only this year, but many years from now, my customers will treat China as their sole supplier, and hope that this cooperative relationship will continue forever. My customers hope to deepen cooperation with China and increase the scope and efforts of introduction. Not only military weapons, but also in the civilian field, we will treat China as their sole supplier."

Hua Huiling was excited, and this was a naked refuge! He said: "Xiaoqiang, since your client is so sincere, you should meet with each other frankly, sit down and have a good chat. No matter which country it is, we are willing to be friends with him on an equal footing. Even if there have been any unpleasant feelings between the two countries before, it can be solved through expanded bilateral exchanges and cooperation.

Xiaoqiang was a little moved, but he was still worried about his safety. He didn't want him to become a sliced ​​specimen in the Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"General Hua, some hidden secrets cannot be explained in a short time. Perhaps after a few years of trade, we can establish sufficient mutual trust, and the customers I represent will be willing to stand up and walk into the sunshine. At present, my customers are not within China's sphere of influence. Once they stand up and take the initiative to surrender, they may encounter a catastrophe. International and domestic opposition forces may beat my customers to no avail."

Hua Huiling was frightened by Xiaoqiang's gimmick. As the top leader in charge of China's actual weapons and arms sales operations in the international market, he knew deeply that the division of forces in this world could tell the difference between the country's weapons by looking at which country's weapons. Which system of weapons a country uses is equivalent to nakedly expressing its attitude to the world, and its diplomatic and economic tendencies will be very clear in the future.

Generally speaking, small countries have little independence in politics. The political traditions and geopolitics left over from history determine that small countries must be flattered everywhere and strive not to offend anyone. In this way, small countries with some ambitions often make up their minds and simply hold on to one thigh, find a backer among China, the United States, Russia and other great powers, and hold on tightly. As long as they hug the right thigh and settle domestic political disputes, and in addition, the domestic economy can develop smoothly, they may rise into a relatively independent and regional country. If they have no backer, they hope to be independent and self-reliant, and die and destroy the country only day and night.

If you throw away your previous thighs and change to a new hug, how can your former backers tolerate you? It’s easy to say that China is generous and kind, with a gentle diplomacy, and at most it’s economically. But if you change the US, Russia, France and Britain, you can try it and just kill you! This is not nonsense. Look at the supporters behind the coups in small countries, the sponsors of guerrillas and separatist forces, and then look at the intervention and peacekeeping wars that make the great powers roll up their sleeves and start their own horses. It’s shocking! Small countries really don’t have the courage to put aside the division of world political forces and start a new job. It’s a matter of finding a draw.

Hua Huiling asked tentatively: "Which country's weapon did your customers use before?"

Xiaoqiang said nonsense: "American and legal systems."

Hua Huiling was frightened and knew it was a headache when he heard it. These two big gangsters were not unable to provoke, but they had to see if the price of turning against each other was appropriate. If this was to openly provide weapons to countries within the jurisdiction of such other forces, it would undoubtedly put the conflict on the table, and then everyone started to fight against the country, causing chaos in the country. If it really didn't work, they would tear off their masks and go barefoot on the grounds of reasons such as humanitarian crises.

Hua Huiling thought that it seems that it is the best way to sell secretly like this. No matter whether Xiaoqiang's customers are government-armed or anti-government-armed, they will make the most safer money by themselves. They are also very cognitive and do not use arms sales to threaten them, so they have to make any demands for political protection to China.

However, such a tactful force is indeed a force worth cultivating. Once they have tasted the pleasure of being friends with China, and can completely settle domestic opposition forces and control domestic regimes, they are likely to become friends of the Chinese people in the world in the future. Hua Huiling made up his mind to give feedback on this situation and see if the central government is interested in fighting for this force that seems to be very pro-China at present.

"Xiaoqiang, how much procurement budget do you have this year? You can report it out. Let's study it in advance. The central chief attaches great importance to the foreign friends you represent and is willing to provide a certain kind of loan on the premise that you provide a certain guarantee, that is, you can apply for credit." Hua Huiling smiled and expressed his sincerity.

Xiaoqiang was a little stunned when he heard this. I heard it right. The Ministry of National Defense treats me as a VIP. This... is so cool!

Xiaoqiang, who came back to his senses and was overjoyed, stood up from the chair, held Hua Huiling's hand and shook it constantly: "General Hua, I really thank you for your trust in me. Don't worry, I am a trustworthy person and will never miss the debt."

After the two of them had a detailed discussion, Xiaoqiang gave Hua Huiling a brief explanation and told the antiques he had pressed in the warehouse. This statement shocked Hua Huiling.

"What? Do you have so many antiques? Where did you come from?"

Xiaoqiang said: "My customers like Chinese culture very much. They have been collecting Chinese antiques and art internationally for a long time. At present, the first auction has received 9.5 billion yuan. According to the total amount, it is estimated that it will take about twenty auctions to clear it."

General Hua Huiling stared at Xiaoqiang's face seriously and said hesitantly: "Did you buy antiques from internationally? How did you transport them in?"

Xiaoqiang said: "My customers are transporting industrial waste in. This may not be in line with our country's laws. I hope you can make some peace with it."

Hua Huiling was stunned. He knew that the import order of small coastal ports in China was relatively chaotic, and foreign garbage could be brought in one ship after another. Electronic parallel goods smuggling is also rampant, not to mention this little antique. As long as there are some tricks, it is still possible to transport it in. After all, this is just a matter of a few containers. This situation needs to be reported to the central government. It seems that we must catch the current import order. How do ports look like funnels? I don’t know what things come in. I pretend to be blind if I give some money.

So after reporting to the central government, Hua Huiling spent a week to estimate the antique collection in Xiaoqiang's hands with cultural relics experts sent by the government. The conservative estimate of the total price reached as much as 150 billion! This price was so amazing that the expert group was simply crazy. In their report to the central government, it mentioned many times that many antiques that were damaged in the previous chaotic periods actually saw such intact objects here, which was a blessing for the country. After receiving the notice from experts, even the National Museum in Beidu required screening and procurement first, so that the remaining ones could be auctioned for markets and provided for the society for collection.

The central government stated that Xiaoqiang could accept the mortgage of these antiques and give a discount of 40%. After Xiaoqiang's candy-like negotiations, it was finally decided to discount of 50%. Therefore, Xiaoqiang's exclusive account of the People's Bank of China had a separate account, which contained 75 billion yuan of book funds. However, it was stipulated that this part of the funds could only be used for procurement from the Chinese government, and could not be withdrawn or misappropriated. It was used for special purposes. After the antiques mortgaged by Xiaoqiang were screened and acquired by the National Museum, they continued to be auctioned by Rongbaozhai. The proceeds from the auction were directly transferred to the central government until the 75 billion yuan mortgage loan was paid, and the subsequent auction proceeds belonged to Cao Xiaoqiang.

Xiaoqiang has now tasted the benefits of doing business with the central government. A low-interest mortgage loan of 75 billion yuan! The annual interest rate is only 2%. However, the central government stipulates that this mortgage loan does not generate interest in the People's Bank of China account, which means that Xiaoqiang should not expect to take advantage of interest. However, such preferential conditions have already made Xiaoqiang happy.
