"Good, well said." Everyone applauded in unison.
Xu Wanqi said with admiration, "No wonder Mr. Xiao can become the richest man in the world. He really sees things from a strategic perspective."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you're flattering me. It's just my guess. Who knows what will happen in the future? I only know that only by grasping the present can we have the future. If we can't even grasp the present, then the future will only say goodbye to us. "
"Then, what kind of investment plan does Mr. Xiao have in mind? Can you give more support to the western part of Hua Xia? "
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the First Minister walk in with a smile. He looked at Xiao Yunhai and asked.
Everyone hurriedly stood up and respectfully greeted him.
The First Minister gestured for him to sit down, then sat in the host's seat and said, "Yunhai, you haven't answered my question."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Minister, there's no problem with investment. I do have some funds. But the biggest problem is that I don't have any investment direction. "
The First Minister said, "The western part is rich in mineral resources. Coal, oil, natural gas, and all kinds of non-ferrous metals account for a large proportion of the country. There are also tourism resources and biological resources. Have you thought about these aspects?"
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "I've thought about it, but the transportation in those areas is really not good. If the roads can't be built, it's impossible to develop them."
The First Minister chuckled and said, "What? Do you want to take all the benefits? Let me tell you, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Yesterday, we had a meeting about the development of the western part. In order to help the western part get rid of poverty as soon as possible, we decided to open up the development of all kinds of natural resources to society. As long as you find coal, oil, and so on, everyone can invest. The government won't take a penny from you, and you'll be exempted from taxes for three years. As for the roads, you'll be responsible for them. The National Transportation Agency can help to build them. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly and said, "Minister, according to what you said, if I found a coal mine worth 10 billion US dollars, it would cost 8 billion US dollars to build the roads. Then, the coal mine would be a loss for me. "
"So we can stipulate a share. Let's take the 10 billion USD coal mine as an example. You only need to fork out 30%, which is 3 billion USD, to build the road. The remaining 5 billion USD can be considered as a loan from the government. The interest will be calculated according to the bank's commercial loan interest rate. Within 10 years, the Hua Xia Bank will be responsible for the repayment. "
"Sir, what you mean is that we should buy the coal mine at 30% of its original price and exempt us from paying taxes for three years. As for the transportation problem, the government will lend us money to solve it, right?"
"You could say that. The biggest problem that restricts the development of the west is transportation. The environment there is too bad, and the government can't afford it. That's why they have to borrow money from the people. Otherwise, we wouldn't have opened the door to natural resources. But I want to say in advance that things like coal and oil must be used domestically. If you want to export them, you need to get the approval of our Hua Xia government. Everyone, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. "
Everyone thought for a while and suddenly turned to look at Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and said, "Why are you all looking at me?"
Xu Wanqi smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, you are the richest man in the world and the leader of the entire Hua Xia business circle. Of course, we want to hear your opinion."
The others nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yunhai didn't know that although he rarely dealt with the Hua Xia business people, his identity, status, and strength were there. If he wasn't there, it would be fine. But if he was, everyone would definitely follow his lead. What's more, the person doing business with them was the country's top leader. Who would dare to interfere? If they made the chief unhappy, they would have to bear the consequences.
The first chief smiled and said, "Yunhai, say what you have to say. Put all the doubts in your heart on the table. We'll deal with them one by one. The others can also say it. Let's discuss it together. "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Chief, what you said is a win-win solution. We can make a lot of money through these projects, and the country doesn't need to spend a single cent to solve the biggest problem plaguing the development of the western region. It's killing two birds with one stone. It's really good. It's just that whether we can come up with the other half of the road construction funds is a big problem. Just like the eight billion USD road construction fees just now, three billion USD will be paid by us for free, and the other five billion will be paid by us on behalf of the country. This five billion is too big, and we may not be able to afford it. If we borrow from the bank, it's better to let the government take care of it. Don't you think so? "
The first chief said, "The bank is the bank, and the government is the government. The two can't be mixed together. You can use some things to borrow from the bank, and we will try our best to make the bank open the door for you. But if the government is directly responsible, the risk will be transferred to us. At the same time, the government's finances will be in a predicament of not being able to make ends meet. You know, there are too many things that the country needs us to do. Give us a buffer of ten years, and the situation will be completely different. I hope everyone can understand this point. "
Wu Yifa said, "As long as the bank is willing to lend to us, it's not a problem. It's best if the interest is lower. "
The first chief chuckled and said, "We'll give you a lower interest rate."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's for the best. Chief, I have another question. Can the things we find really belong to us? Let's say I found a huge oil field with hundreds of billions of barrels. Will the country give it to me according to the price we just discussed? Also, I can't afford it. If you guys go back on your word, wouldn't I have wasted my efforts? "
When the first chief heard this, he pointed at Xiao Yunhai and laughed. "Only you dare to say that the government is going back on its word in front of me. No one else has the guts."
Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly and said, "Chief, there's no other way. We have to get to the bottom of this. Otherwise, we won't have any confidence."
The others also nodded and looked at the No. 1 Chief, waiting for his reply.
The first chief looked around and said seriously, "Let's not talk about a hundred billion barrels of oil field. Even if the reserves reach a trillion barrels, the government will definitely not be tempted by wealth and break its promise to the world. Of course, if it's really hundreds of billions of barrels, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it even at 30% of the price. Then we'll pay 10% first and the rest will be paid in the process of developing the oil. However, as I said before, the crude oil from the oil field must be supplied to the country. The price will be calculated according to the international oil price at that time. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "We know the importance of this kind of non-renewable resource to our country. We will definitely not sell it to other countries without the government's consent. Everyone, since we've made things clear, I'll definitely send people to the West to investigate. Once a large mineral deposit is found, I'll be rich. "
Wu Yifa smiled and said, "Me too. It's not just the mineral deposit. If there are other good projects, I don't mind investing in them. "
The others also agreed.
The first chief said, "That's great. This afternoon, the government will announce this news. I hope the cooperation between the private businesses and the government can achieve the best results. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Don't worry, Chief. When the time comes, we'll make money, the government will build roads, and the West will escape poverty. We'll definitely kill three birds with one stone. "
The first chief clapped his hands and laughed. "Three birds with one stone. Well said."
