"Eh? Old Zhang, why are you calling me? Are you bored at work and want to chat with me? " Feng Yu said casually. At the same time, his right hand is moving the mouse, scoping in, shooting, and headshot!
Zhang Ruiqiang: "… I am calling you for work!"
"Work? Oh, I am still that consultant, right? What instructions do you have for me? " Today's game was not interesting. The online players were either too strong, and Feng Yu was no match for them. Or they were too weak, and Feng Yu did not meet anyone who was on par with him.
"Let me ask you. Did you instigate the committee to sue Microsoft for monopolizing the market and want to impose a hefty fine on them?!"
Feng Yu was killed by someone, and Zhang Ruiqiang let go of his mouse and passed the phone to his right hand. He took two sips of his teacup with his left hand and let out a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong? This is a good thing. Two days ago, I asked Wilson, and he said Microsoft is about to win. Fine, and you all are making money. What's there to be unhappy about? "
"There's nothing to be unhappy about. But I noticed the fine is too high. You dare to ask for more than 2 billion RMB?! "
"Is this considered a lot? Microsoft had paid more than 1 billion USD in the US and 500 million Euros in Europe. The fines in Japan and South Korea are not low, and Russia is also demanding a hefty sum. Why can't our Hua Xia ask for more? "
"Old Zhang, your attitude of treating an enemy as a friend is very bad!"
Zhang Ruiqiang is furious. "Who treats my enemy as a friend?! Microsoft's sales in Europe and the US are doing well, and their prices are low in China. How can they be compared? "
"That's why I had asked Wilson not to charge too much, or Microsoft might not be able to afford it. This is less than 300 million USD. Is it a lot? Our market is much bigger than the US. Old Zhang, are you here to be Microsoft's lobbyist? "
"Old Zhang, if you are serious, just tell Wilson. He will surely try to reduce the fines. It's fine. I can understand."
Zhang Ruiqiang replied angrily. "What's there to understand? Who is Microsoft's lobbyist? Although Microsoft had invested a lot in Hua Xia, they had already invested in Hua Xia. What I mean is, you set the fine so high. If you can only get a fine of 200 to 300 million RMB in the end, how ugly would that be! "
"Hey, I thought something happened. Don't worry. Wilson told me we had the upper hand in the last two trials. Wasn't the court about to start again? It was almost time to announce the verdict. The minimum fine will be 1.5 billion RMB! "
"Can there really be so many?"
"Definitely. Wilson is one of the top lawyers in the world. He used to be the British Royal Family's lawyer, which means that he helped the British Royal Family with lawsuits. How can he be bad?" Feng Yu said in an exaggerated tone.
"1.5 billion, hmm, that should be enough."
"What do you mean almost enough? Old Zhang, have you already thought about how you're going to spend the fine before you even get it? " Feng Yu's jaw dropped. He knew that the officials were living off others, but wasn't this consumption concept a little too advanced?
"I've just been promoted, so I don't have a lot of funds. There are many projects under me that need funds. I will report to the higher-ups and ask them to distribute the fines to Microsoft. 1.5 billion might be a lot, but if we distribute it, it will not be a lot. "
Zhang Ruiqiang was also in a difficult position. Many people were jealous of his position, and the higher-ups said he was capable and trusted him. But even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice. No matter how capable he is, he must have money.
Zhang Ruiqiang had read the reports from the higher-ups, and they were all good ideas. But the only problem was he does not have money!
The higher-ups wanted the ministry to fork out the money, but the ministry also does not have so much money. The ministry still needs to get the National Assembly to approve the funds. Also, the government will be doing something big this year, and their funds are tight. Furthermore, the overseas investment companies under the ministry are still making money.
But Feng Yu told him that in the next two to three years, no matter if it is gold or blue chips in New York, he will be able to make money easily.
Zhang Ruiqiang was not willing to withdraw the funds from those investment companies. That's why he wanted to use the fines to do something. He had just been appointed and needs some achievements to prove himself.
"Have you ever thought that since this amount of money is not enough, why don't you give it to some people and not the rest? This way, you can concentrate the funds and develop some projects." Feng Yu suggested.
"This is what I intend to do. This money will be used for three to five projects. If not, if I invest in every project, no one will have enough. In the end, the money will be used up, and nothing will be done. "
Zhang Ruiqiang thought to himself. Do I need you to teach me this? I know better than you what the higher-ups do.
"If you are going to do a few projects, then this amount of money might not be enough. What's wrong? Are the returns from the investment companies not good? "Feng Yu was puzzled. Even if Feng Yu had been investing in gold futures, he should be making a lot of money. Even if he had invested in stocks previously, he should be making money now that the stock market is recovering.
Although the stock market did not rise by a lot, the investment companies had a lot of funds, and they should be making a lot of money.
Zhang Ruiqiang explained to Feng Yu that he does not want to use the funds from the investment companies for the time being. He wants to continue making money so that the ministry can have more funds to develop more projects.
It was mainly because the units under him had only asked for the funds and did not have any funds to prepare for the projects. Even if Zhang Ruiqiang got the funds, he might not be able to start the projects the next year. That's why Zhang Ruiqiang did not want to use the funds first and let his subordinates start the projects first.
"Oh, that's it? A loan?"
Zhang Ruiqiang was stunned. "What did you say? Loans? You want the ministry to get loans?! "
"What's so strange about this? When you were in the government, you had never seen the government getting loans." Feng Yu replied. Maybe in a few years' time, you might even see the government going bankrupt.
"How can the city and the ministry be the same? One is the city, and the other is the country! "Zhang Ruiqiang was speechless. Where did Feng Yu get all these ideas from?
"If the ministry cannot get loans, why can't the investment companies under you all get loans? They will get loans first, and you will have more funds to use. Also, you don't need to worry about the funds they have invested in the stock market or futures market. You just need to manage them normally and see how they make money every month. "
Feng Yu sighed. These people were really stubborn.
Look at the private sector. There were too many people in the financial industry. Some of them suddenly became rich, and some of them had to pay for their losses. Even the private sector knows to use the banks' funds to help them make money. Why can't they do the same?
Zhang Ruiqiang's eyes brighten up. That's right. The companies under him can get loans. Corporate loans should not be a problem. As the higher-ups, it was normal for them to transfer their funds to the banks.
Why didn't Feng Yu think of such a simple solution?
If it was not for Feng Yu, even if his subordinates thought of this solution, would he agree? Would he agree?
