"Chairman, President, the detailed accounting report is out!" The head of Xiamu Network's major engineering department, He Changgong, placed a report in front of Boss Jia and Xiamu Haruko.
He Changgong was a Hua Xia person, and was specially transferred from the Daqian headquarters by Boss Jia. The report in his hand was completed by He Changgong in three months.
Since the New Year, when Boss Jia and Xiamu Haruko decided to lay out the broadband network, He Changgong was sent to Fusang to prepare such a report.
Now, after three months, the results were placed in front of Boss Jia.
"I don't want to look at it, give me an accurate number!" Boss Jia knocked on the table and asked.
"Yes, according to our three months of accounting, to lay out the broadband network in Yoto, we need 12.4 billion USD. If we include Kyoto, Osaka, Fukuoka, and other major cities, then we need 23.4 billion USD. "
"If we lay out the broadband network in all the cities in Fusang, then we need 85.6 billion USD!"
He Changgong placed such a shocking number in front of Boss Jia.
"80 billion USD!" Xiamu Haruko's body shook when she heard it. Although she expected the number to be huge, she didn't expect it to be so huge when it was actually presented.
"Our Xiamu Network's annual revenue is about 200 million USD. Doesn't that mean that it will take us 400 months, which is more than 30 years of income, to complete the broadband network in all of Fu Sang's major cities?!" Xiamu Haruko was dumbfounded. She had never seen so much money in her life.
No, she had never heard of such a thing.
"Hubby, have you really decided to lay out the broadband network in all of Fusang? Can our Daqian Group headquarters take out so many USD? "Xiamu Haruko looked at Boss Jia and asked.
Although Natsume Haruko was the company's president, or rather the CEO, the one who made the decisions was our Boss Jia.
"We definitely can't afford it. Our Daqian earned less than 10 billion USD last year. We don't have that much money to invest in broadband!" Boss Jia chuckled.
"Then let's only focus on broadband in Tokyo!" Natsume Haruko said with some hesitation, "We can get a loan from the bank. Maybe it can support the construction of broadband in Tokyo!"
"Borrowing money is impossible! Even if we are willing to lend it to them, they might not be willing to lend it to us! " Boss Jia smiled and said, "I can guarantee that no matter which bank you go to for a loan, they will ignore us. They will only say that our company is very dangerous!"
"Indeed, our company is in great danger now!" Natsume Haruko nodded, "Now almost everyone in Tokyo knows that after 1997, the Fusang National Telegraph and Telephone Company will immediately withdraw the authorization to our company. Once we lose the authorization to use the telephone, we will immediately go from being the best asset in Fusang to being the first large-scale Fusang Internet company to go bankrupt. No one can save us. "
"Because without the Internet, Natsume Network can't do anything."
"That's right!" Boss Jia nodded.
"Then what should we do now? Where do we get the money? " Natsume Haruko looked at Boss Jia with some expectation. Seeing how calm Boss Jia was, it was obvious that he already had a plan.
"Go and borrow it!" Boss Jia touched his nose.
"Borrow from who?" Natsume Haruko asked, puzzled.
"Of course, borrow from the banks!" Boss Jia laughed.
"But didn't you just say that no bank is willing to lend to us?" Natsume Haruko was shocked. She thought Boss Jia might be crazy.
"Yes, but although we know that they won't lend to us, we still have to borrow. Otherwise, this show won't be able to continue!" Boss Jia smiled and then touched Natsume Haruko's small hand.

A few days later, the entire Fusang banking industry circulated an interesting story. It was said that a poor woman went to more than a dozen banks in a day, wanting to borrow more than a billion dollars to build a broadband network throughout Tokyo.
In the end, no bank paid attention to this poor woman. She was rejected by more than a dozen banks in a row. It was said that she stayed in the toilet of a bank and cried bitterly.
This story was vivid, but it didn't have any sympathy. Instead, it had a few sneers.
It couldn't be helped. Now, the entire industry knew that Natsume had been targeted by the Sumitomo Group. The Sumitomo Group would definitely swallow the entire Natsume Group, and the other consortia would never interfere in this matter.
The reason was very simple. It was because the major consortia in Fusang had a tacit understanding. For example, the Sumitomo Group was mainly in the metal, mineral, financial, and telephone industries.
The Mitsui Group was mainly in the electronics, shipping, shipping, and financial industries.
The Mitsubishi Group was in the heavy industry, machinery, automobile, chemical, and financial industries.
Finally, the Fuji Group was in the trust, insurance, marine development, textile, construction, transportation, and financial industries.
It could be said that the four consortia had basically divided the most important and profitable industries in Fusang. After hundreds of years of development, the four consortia basically had a tacit understanding that they wouldn't touch each other's industries. This way, although they couldn't expand, they could protect themselves.
At the same time, if necessary, the four consortia would work together to strangle other competitors or something.
Overall, the four consortia were basically in a state of mutual benefit. They jointly controlled the entire economy of Fusang. Even the Prime Minister of Fusang was affected by the four consortia.
So this time, when Sumitomo Group wanted to swallow the Natsume Group, the other three consortia chose to turn a blind eye. At the same time, they took the initiative to order their subordinate banks to not lend to Natsume Group.
In this way, when other consortia targeted their prey in the future, Sumitomo would also give face to them. This was the most important reason why the four consortia were able to maintain their position in Fusang.
It was just a pity that President Natsume worked hard for three days in a row, but she didn't get any results. As for her idea of laying a nationwide broadband network, in the eyes of these consortia, it was even more impossible.
Now that there were ready-made telephone lines in the country, why would they still want to build a nationwide broadband network? Wasn't this a waste of money?
Only Natsume, faced with the reality that the telephone line was cut off, would do this desperate act of laying out the line herself. Lending to this kind of company was also a waste of money?
In summary, President Natsume couldn't successfully get a loan from Fusang's bank. She would only become a joke in other people's mouths.
