After the four consortiums left, Xiao Qi, who had just arrived in Fusang, asked worriedly, "Third Brother, do you really want to risk your life like this?"
"Why? You can't bear to part with your Baidu?" Boss Jia laughed.
"Baidu has always been yours. What does it have to do with me? Even if you give the entire group away, I don't care! "Xiao Qi shook his head." I just think that you don't have to throw everything into it. "
"Even if you have made up your mind to build a broadband network, you don't have to borrow 80 billion USD in one go. Moreover, according to your plan, you will build broadband in Tokyo first. The second step is to build broadband in Fusang's main cities. The third step is to build broadband in all of Fusang. "
"So, you can borrow 12.4 billion USD first and wait until the second year to consider the cost. That way, you can save billions of USD in interest alone. Why are you in such a hurry to borrow 80 billion USD?" Xiao Qi asked, puzzled.
This was also what confused Xiao Qi the most. He couldn't figure out why Jia Yapeng was in such a hurry to borrow such a large sum of money.
"Of course I need to borrow money!" Before Boss Jia could say anything, Zhuge Bahuang smiled and said, "Honey, you don't have to worry about these things. Anyway, Boss Jia has never done anything that loses money. I think there must be something urgent that he needs to borrow this 80 billion USD! "
"Urgently?" Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment. Then, he said, "The Daqian Group's profits are amazing. They invest billions of USD in the research center every year. Why would he need the money urgently? "
"And this is not a small sum of money. It's 80 billion USD. Even if he spends 10,000 USD per minute, it will take him more than ten years to spend all this money. What does he need so much money for?"
"Hahaha, Xiao Qi's wife is smart!" Boss Jia couldn't help but laugh. "Spending 10,000 USD per minute is too slow. If I spend hundreds of millions of USD per minute, then 80 billion USD won't be enough for me!"
"Spending hundreds of millions of dollars in a minute!" Xiao Qi stuck out his tongue. Then, he felt that something big was about to happen in the whole world. He's not going to hire a bunch of terrorists to bomb the United States, is he?

The next day, the Sumitomo Financial Group sent a message saying that it was all a misunderstanding. The Sumitomo Financial Group was willing to renew the contract with Natsume for five years instead of three.
This wasn't the initiative of the Sumitomo Consortium. It was because the Sumitomo Consortium understood that once broadband was connected, phone lines would become worthless on the network.
After the three-year contract was renewed, Natsume would probably not renew the contract for the authorization of the phone line. Therefore, the Sumitomo Foundation simply extended the contract to five years, which would more or less transfer two years of profits.
Although Boss Jia wasn't happy about this, he didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he agreed.
Natsume moved quickly. After the money was received, the preparatory work of the entire project began immediately. A large number of surveyors began to survey the entire Tokyo area, then prepared the layout of the broadband line. Then, various orders were placed to various companies in Fusang.
According to the plan, within a year, various orders of up to 3 billion USD would be purchased. For a time, many infrastructure companies and employees had a better life.
However, these weren't the bulk of the broadband construction. The real bulk of the broadband construction was, of course, the broadband line.
Then, new trouble arose.
On the tenth day after the project began, Natsume Haruko suddenly called. She said that the people from the four consortiums had come again, and their attitude was very bad. She was afraid that there would be big trouble.
Only then did Boss Jia rush to the Xiamu Group. As expected, he saw the furious four consortiums.
"Gentlemen, is there a problem?" Boss Jia asked unhurriedly when he saw the enraged representatives of the four consortiums.
"Mr. Jia, let me ask you something. Why do you buy all the fiber optics and broadband from China? Why don't you buy them from Japan?" The representative of the Sumitomo Financial Group asked angrily.
Because the amount of the loan was too large, the four consortiums asked Natsume to announce the budget of the construction to ensure the safety of the funds.
Boss Jia also agreed to this condition. Then, yesterday, Natsume announced the budget of the first phase of the project, which had been allocated to each company's procurement plan.
Then, the people from the four consortiums were surprised to find that in this huge budget of 10 billion USD, only about 3 billion USD was spent on the various companies in Fusang, and the remaining 7 billion USD was all used to purchase the optical fibers needed for broadband.
And these optical fibers purchased for 7 billion USD were not produced by Fusang, nor were they produced by the United States. Instead, they were produced by Hua Xia, which made the four consortiums completely angry.
What a joke, 70% of the funds they lent to Natsume were actually given to Hua Xia. What the hell was this?
So, the angry four consortiums came to the door. Their purpose was very simple, which was to force Natsume to use the optical fibers produced by Fusang.
"Ridiculous!" After listening to the anger of the four consortiums, Boss Jia said coldly, which made the four consortiums even angrier.
"I don't know what reason you have to be angry!" Boss Jia said, "Our contract clearly states that out of the 80 billion USD investment, only 30 billion USD is allocated to the four consortiums. The remaining 50 billion USD is used to purchase other equipment."
"The remaining 50 billion USD is the cost of purchasing optical fibers. These are all done according to the contract. What right do you have to question me!"
"You misled us from the beginning … You made us think that you were purchasing steel bars from the United States!" The representative of Sumitomo said angrily.
This was actually true. Before signing the loan contract, Boss Jia did make it clear that the purchase of optical fibers would not be handed over to the four consortiums.
At the same time, Boss Jia constantly praised the optical fiber technology of the United States. Naturally, the four consortiums thought that Boss Jia would purchase optical fibers from the United States.
Thinking that this was an industry of the United States, the four consortiums naturally did not have any objections. It was not until today that they found out that Boss Jia was actually buying optical fibers from Hua Xia.
This was intolerable.
"Hmph, you're profiting at public expense. You're using our Fusangpeople's money to benefit your Hua Xia company!" The representative of Sumitomo said angrily.
"Hahaha, what a joke!" Boss Jia looked up to the sky and laughed. "Is this 50 billion USD your public property? Didn't I use my shares and my friend's company to borrow this money from you? This is my own money. You're f * cking profiting at public expense! "
"Fine, I'll tell you. These optical fibers are really produced by our Daqian Group. Is there anything wrong with my company purchasing raw materials produced by my company?"
"Don't tell me that Sumitomo Construction didn't buy steel bars made by Sumitomo Metal, but bought steel bars made by Mitsubishi Metal instead?"
"Your hands are too big. I can spend my money however I want. You have no right to tell me what to do!" Boss Jia waved his hand forcefully. "Please get out now. Come back to me when you've thought it through!"
