Resource Tycoon Reborn

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Minister Rencino, accompanied by Counselor Rodriguez, put on a slight disguise and came to Fang Mingyuan's room at the Copacabana Palace Hotel.

"Minister Lorencino, Counselor Rodriguez, please take a seat!" Fang Mingyuan greeted the two of them.

After Minister Lorencino sat down opposite Fang Mingyuan, he looked at Fang Mingyuan up and down carefully. Fang Mingyuan didn't say anything and just let him look at him with a smile.

"Excuse me, what should I call you? Fang? President Fang? Or Chairman Fang?" Minister Lorencino said calmly.

Fang Mingyuan laughed dumbly and said: "Minister, you can do whatever you want, just like I can call you Minister Lorencino, I can also call you Sir, I can also call you Mr. Lorencino. Of course, if I am in a bad mood, I can call you Mr. Lorencino."

Lorencino is also a possibility. How about you also decide on a title?"

"Chairman Fang, Rodriguez told me your thoughts truthfully. I have a doubt and I would like to ask Chairman Fang to clarify it for me," Minister Lorencino said.

"Excuse me!" Fang Mingyuan casually picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip. Although he didn't have any special hobby for coffee, since he came to the coffee kingdom, it would be a waste not to try the local specialties.

kind of regret.

Minister Lorencino took a deep breath and said: "Chairman Fang must be very aware of the current situation in our country. To be honest with Chairman Fang, it can be said that our country is basically no longer able to obtain financial benefits from the international financial market.

We got a loan. Moreover, no one is buying our country’s bonds. Why is Chairman Fang still willing to help us connect people for loans?” Lorencino believes that anyone who is not blind or deaf can see the current situation in Argentina.

, The economic collapse may come at any time. And under this situation, if Fang Mingyuan dares to say anything about contacting the Argentine government for a loan, he is either having great intentions or he is a liar. It is impossible to be a liar, but what does Minister Lorencino think?

I can't figure out what Fang Mingyuan was planning. As for the three conditions he proposed to Rodriguez, to be honest, they were nothing compared to the loan of US$1.5 billion.

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Yes, what you said, Minister Lorencino, is indeed reality. Your country's current situation can be said to be in the early stages of economic collapse. As long as your country's loan negotiations with the IMF fail, or if it continues

If there is any disturbance, your government will probably only order restrictions on residents' withdrawal of deposits, control capital flows, temporarily suspend the payment of maturing foreign debts, and drastically cut wages and pensions, etc., right?"

Minister Lorencino remained silent, but this was enough for Fang Mingyuan.

Fang Mingyuan looked directly into Minister Lorencino's eyes and said bluntly: "Actually, these practices will not only not help solve the problem, but will further intensify social conflicts," which is tantamount to adding more fuel to the pile of gunpowder that was about to explode.

Throw in a few grenades. I can responsibly tell Secretary Lorencino that when you decide to do this, that's when Pandora's box opens. And by that time, it will be too late for your government to do anything else!

Moreover, by then, you will face multiple impacts such as financial crisis, corporate crisis, political crisis, social crisis, and institutional crisis!"

Minister Lorencino's expression changed slightly. Although he didn't want to admit what Fang Mingyuan said, his reason told him that it was very likely to happen. Before coming, he also had no idea about Fang Mingyuan's information.

I collected as much as possible. Because the time was too short, the information available was very messy, and many of the news had not been finally confirmed. But the news that had been confirmed already amazed Minister Lorencino.

A child from an ordinary Chinese worker family actually built a business empire from scratch in more than ten years, not only involved in many fields, but also made a big name in the world. And this

Among them, what concerned Minister Lorencino the most was Fang Mingyuan's successful prediction of the Kobe earthquake in Japan and his astonishing profits after purchasing nearly 10 billion US dollars of crude oil in Russia.

Have vision and courage, dare to take risks, and also have the capital and strength to take risks!

"Chairman Fang, aren't you worried that we won't be able to repay this loan in time?" Minister Lorencino said sternly. Argentina's current financial situation can no longer be concealed from anyone with a discerning eye, so he simply spoke openly and honestly.

"Actually, as a country, as long as it really wants to repay the loan, it will eventually be able to do so. Argentina actually has many, many resources. Of course, these resources are not completely in the hands of the government. According to

The law and the government have no right to use or transfer these resources, so you are holding the treasure mountain empty but unable to get enough funds." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

Minister Lorencino's face darkened and he said: "Chairman Fang, if your intention is to let us sell our resources..."

"If it could be sold, someone would have sold it long ago!" Fang Mingyuan interrupted him, "It's not my turn to say this." The Argentine government's capabilities have not always been rated highly by the international community.

Words such as inefficiency, corruption, and incompetence are often its attributive.

"What does Chairman Fang mean?" Minister Lorencino was a little confused and wondered what exactly Fang Mingyuan was interested in in Argentina.

"What I mean is that your country can repay the US$1.5 billion with the soybeans that were launched in 2004. If your government cannot do this, then... I think your government

The leaders should step down as soon as possible and make way for their successors." Fang Mingyuan said with his hands on his chest, "Now, what your government needs to do is how to make us believe that your government will definitely fulfill its promise."!

Minister Lorencino blinked and looked at Rodriguez, who was also stunned. Did he have any auditory hallucinations? What Fang Mingyuan meant was that this loan was actually a payment for the purchase of Zero Three from Argentina in advance.

soybeans in 2018? What is he doing? He is the Minister of Economy and Public Finance of Argentina, and soybeans are one of the main products of Argentina’s agricultural production and an important commodity for Argentina’s exports to earn foreign exchange. Therefore, regarding the international market situation of soybeans,

Secretary Lorencino is quite clear.

In today's international soybean market, the United States, Brazil and Argentina are the top three soybean exporters in the world, accounting for 90% of global soybean exports. China, on the other hand, is the world's largest soybean importer, with imports exceeding

12 million tons of soybeans. Argentina is expected to export soybeans this year to more than 7 million tons, of which almost 70% are exported to China.

Judging from the current situation, the overall international soybean market is still in a situation where supply slightly exceeds demand. Moreover, Argentina and Brazil are further expanding soybean planting area.

Therefore, in the view of Minister Lorencino, it seems that it is not necessary to book Argentine soybeans more than two years in advance!

But! The Argentine government now urgently needs these 1.5 billion US dollars! Regardless of its essence, whether it is a payment for goods or a loan!

"Chairman Fang, are you saying that our government can repay the US$1.5 billion with soybeans worth US$1.5 billion in 2004?" Minister Lorencino said solemnly.

"No, no, to be precise, your government can repay it with soybeans worth US$7.5 billion in 2004 when the soybeans are launched. Of course, we will make up for the six billion by then.

U.S. dollars for goods! If we are unable to pay the subsequent six billion U.S. dollars for goods, the U.S.$1.5 billion will belong to your government. And if your government cannot do this, it must pay us back at least

Three billion U.S. dollars!" Fang Mingyuan shook his head repeatedly and said, "Let's put it bluntly, this 1.5 billion U.S. dollars is the deposit for the contract! However, it is claimed that your government can only say it is a loan. I think there is no need to explain the reason, right?

"

Minister Lorencino suddenly realized. He understood that this time, Fang Mingyuan must have had some thoughts about the international soybean market in 2004, so he took this time to book Argentine soybeans!

If this were the case, everything would make sense.

"Minister Lorencino, it seems that you have understood my intention!" Fang Mingyuan leaned on the sofa and said leisurely, "My conditions are not harsh, right?"

"We only need to guarantee to provide your company with soybeans worth US$7.5 billion in 2004 when soybeans are launched on the market?" Minister Lorencino pondered for a moment and said.

"Haha, of course not!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "But Mr. Minister, don't worry, I have always been a win-win person in business, so my additional conditions will not make you feel disadvantaged.

First, your government must ensure that all soybeans provided to us must be non-GMO soybeans! I know that the American company Mengchandu is now planting genetically modified soybeans in a small area in your country. I don’t know your government’s attitude towards this.

We have no right to interfere with the decisions of your government and people. However, the soybeans provided to us must be non-GMO! If your government cannot guarantee this, then we can also choose Brazil."

"What about the second one?" Minister Lorencino said with a hint of anger in his eyes, noncommittal.

"Second, the price of soybeans must not exceed the average price of the international market in 2001, 2002 and 2003!" Fang Mingyuan said, "At the lowest, we can promise to be no less than 1% of the export price of Argentina's soybeans this year.

eighty!"

Minister Lorencino was thinking that in the international market, soybean export prices have been fluctuating slightly in recent years.

After soaring in September this year, there has now been a significant decline. In this price range, for Argentina's soybeans, as long as there is no possibility of soybean price surges in 2002 and 2003, at least it is not a loss. Moreover, consider

Considering that this is a huge deal worth 6 billion US dollars, it is reasonable for the other party to demand an appropriate price reduction.

"Then there is a third one?" Minister Lorencino asked.

"Third, if both of us fulfill this contract, then within three years, we will have the priority to continue to purchase Argentine soybeans worth US$6 billion. Your country can only purchase Argentine soybeans worth US$6 billion after you determine that we do not need to import them.

Export to others." Fang Mingyuan said calmly, "I want to emphasize that all soybeans must be non-GMO soybeans!"

"Huh?" Minister Lorencino was involuntarily shocked. Doesn't that mean that this is actually a soybean transaction with a possible total value of 24 billion US dollars.

"Chairman Fang, it seems that you don't like genetically modified soybeans?" Minister Lorencino looked directly into Fang Mingyuan's eyes and asked.

Fang Mingyuan shrugged casually and said: "Of course, I think everyone prefers purely natural things. It's like natural beauties and plastic surgery beauties. Do you need to explain?"

"But as far as I know, soybeans from GMO countries not only have high yields, but also produce more oil, are more resistant to diseases and pests, and are cheaper than non-GMO soybeans." Minister Lorencino said, "These advantages are indispensable.

Denied.”

"Then why should men care whether a woman's breasts are natural or filled with silicone?" Fang Mingyuan asked.
