Rodriguez smiled awkwardly, but that smile was like crying. How could he not know this? Now there is a wave of government rebellion in Argentina. If we say that before the end of the year, Argentina’s economy will still be If there is no improvement, it can be said that the collapse of this government is only a matter of time. The Argentine Federation government, which came to power through the general election in 1999, is facing the biggest crisis since its establishment!

"Counsellor Rodriguez, I heard that your country owes a huge amount of foreign debt. How much is it approximately? How much does it account for your country's gross national product that year?" Fang Mingyuan changed to a comfortable posture and said casually.

Rodriguez pondered for a moment and said: "About more than 130 billion U.S. dollars, which is almost half of our country's gross national product!" These things are not secrets. As long as Fang Mingyuan is willing, it is only a matter of time before he finds out.

"I heard that your government is negotiating with the imf on a new batch of US$1.2 billion in loans. I wonder how sure your government is?" Fang Mingyuan asked with a look of leisure.

Rodriguez spread his hands and said helplessly: "Mr. Fang, I am just an economic counselor. I am not responsible for loan negotiations with the IMF. I am not even qualified to participate. How can I know how sure the government is?"

"Wrong!" Fang Mingyuan said without hesitation, "Actually, you know very well that with the IMF's loan conditions, is it possible for your government to agree to it?" For those countries that have experienced financial crises and economic crises, the IMF can be said to be in the minority. An international organization that can spend real money to provide assistance. However, the financial assistance from the IMF is not given in vain. It always comes with extremely stringent conditions.

Rodriguez was startled. He did not expect that Fang Mingyuan would refute him directly and forcefully. Don't Chinese people always like to express their wishes tactfully? But he could not refute Fang Mingyuan's words, just as Fang Mingyuan said As such, the loan conditions offered by the IMF are unacceptable to the Argentine government.

Fang Mingyuan looked directly at Rodriguez. To be honest, ordinary people in China didn't pay much attention to Argentina except for football. In Fang Mingyuan's previous life, except for some industry news, he didn't pay much attention to it. In fact, it is limited. He just learned more or less about other situations when searching for information about the international soybean market on the Internet. Among them, the ones that happened to leave an impression on him were the several economic crises in Argentina. This The impact of an economic crisis on the Argentine economy was quite astonishing. It not only caused the resignation of Argentine President De La Rua, but also caused serious losses to the Argentine economy. This chaos will last until 2003, and Argentina The economy has just gradually returned to normal.

Rodriguez felt that Fang Mingyuan's gaze was like an X-ray, looking straight into the depths of his heart, making his little thoughts seem to be exposed in broad daylight.

"Mr. Fang!" Rodriguez forced a smile, "Okay, I admit, what you said is indeed reasonable. The loan conditions of the imf are really too harsh, and it is difficult for our government to agree to it. However, at present, our country

The domestic situation has determined that if there is not enough loan assistance, our government will face big trouble."

Fang Mingyuan then showed a smile and said: "If I can contact your government with a fund of no less than 1.5 billion US dollars, what can your government provide as collateral?"

"What did you say?" Rodriguez almost jumped up from the sofa. Did he hear correctly? Fang Mingyuan said that he could contact Argentina with a fund of no less than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars? 1.5 billion U.S. dollars,

Not $150,000!

"I said, I can contact your government for a sum of no less than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. What can your government provide as collateral?" Fang Mingyuan said with a genuine smile.

Rodriguez was sure that his ears heard correctly. Although the official language of Argentina is Spanish, as a diplomat, Rodriguez can still speak fluent American English. With US$1.5 billion, that means that the Argentine government

The current loan negotiations with the IMF will no longer be imminent, which means that the domestic financial market that is about to explode will get a chance to ease! Although 1.5 billion U.S. dollars is just a drop in the bucket for the entire Argentine foreign debt, but with this

With US$1.5 billion, the outbreak of the crisis may be postponed to next year. Perhaps the President can reach an agreement with Congress and introduce a new solution. Thus, Argentina can avoid this disaster! And this means that

That volcano under Secretary Lorencino’s butt may be able to sleep for a few more days temporarily!

But... Rodriguez forced himself to calm down, looked at Fang Mingyuan and said: "Mr. Fang, what do you hope to get as collateral?" There has never been a free lunch in the world. This Chinese man, with his strength,

Why should we help the Argentine government?

"Providing suitable and attractive collateral is what your government needs to do, and it is not something that I need to worry about." Fang Mingyuan chuckled and said, "However, your government can rest assured, we

We will not attach political demands, nor will we ask your country to open any market. We do not represent the government, we only represent ourselves!"

Fang Mingyuan's words made Rodriguez feel a little more comfortable. The Argentine government and the imf have been unable to reach an agreement because there are too many other conditions attached to the loan agreement, which are difficult for Argentina to accept.

.

"Of course, I personally have some requests, and I hope your government can cooperate." Fang Mingyuan said.

"Please tell me!" Rodriguez said immediately. It would be even more worrying if he said nothing.

"First, our family has just established an airline in Hong Kong. I hope to get approval for the opening of routes between your country's major airports and major airports in Hong Kong and mainland China. Of course, according to normal channels and procedures, I believe

, will also be approved by the relevant departments of your country, but I have to say that the work efficiency of the relevant departments of your country is really..." Fang Mingyuan shook his head and sighed.

Rodriguez couldn't help but feel a little hot, but he immediately replied: "Mr. Fang, although I have no decision-making power, I think this request is not a problem!" As Fang Mingyuan said, the airline requested to open

This is a normal commercial requirement for routes from major cities in Argentina to Hong Kong and mainland China. Under normal circumstances, approval is just a matter of time. Unless Argentina has any special requirements. But at present, Rodriguez himself is

I can't think of it. If the other party can help facilitate this loan, it would not be too much to ask the Argentine government to handle this matter specially.

But where there is first, there is second...

"Second, I personally plan to purchase some land in your country to establish a farm, because the area may be relatively large. I hope your country will provide some convenience in various aspects." Fang Mingyuan said. Since he has decided to purchase land in Brazil, as a neighbor of Brazil,

In Argentina, which also has high-quality land resources, he also plans to purchase some land. This can be regarded as not putting all the eggs in one basket.

Rodriguez secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For the Argentine government, this request is nothing. "How much area do you plan to ask for?"

"At least one hundred thousand hectares." Fang Mingyuan said casually, "If the location is suitable and the geological conditions are good, there is nothing wrong with buying more."

Rodriguez couldn't help but secretly sighed. The land prices in Argentina were basically on the same level as those in Brazil. One hundred thousand hectares of high-quality land was worth hundreds of millions of dollars! He was even more curious about Fang Mingyuan's net worth.

.

"Third, I plan to conduct further inspections of Argentina and may invest in some industries in your country, so I hope that your government will give you some preferential treatment in project approval and other aspects in the future." Fang Mingyuan clapped his hands and said, "That's it.

!”

"That's it?" Rodriguez asked in surprise. In his mind, if Fang Mingyuan could facilitate this loan, he would definitely have to ask for it. You know, with the current rating of the Argentine government in the international financial market

, no commercial banks are willing to provide loans to it. As for bonds, no one is willing to buy them. This is why the Argentine government can basically hang itself on the imf tree. And what Fang Mingyuan proposed

None of the three conditions are harsh, and they can be said to be what the Argentine government should have done!

"If your government is willing to give me more benefits, I wouldn't mind accepting it." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "After all, no one makes more benefits."

Rodriguez left the Copacabana Palace Hotel with an excited heart and rushed to the Argentine Consulate in Rio de Janeiro as quickly as possible. The consul was really shocked and thought something had happened.

It was a big deal. Then, Rodriguez "borrowed" the communication facilities in the consulate and dialed Minister Lorencino's phone number. He had to inform the minister of such good news as soon as possible.

However, the secretary told him that Minister Lorencino was in a meeting. If there was something urgent, just wait by the phone and Minister Lorencino would call him back after the meeting.

Rodriguez had no choice but to tell the other party that he would be waiting here.

But it was after nine o'clock in the evening when he was waiting! The phone finally rang, and Rodriguez picked up the phone immediately.

Minister Lorencino's tired voice came over the phone: "Hey, Gulei, have you met that person?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it.
