Chapter 1286: Let business return to business

"Not long ago, we got a loan application from Soviet Russia." Without Tan Zhenhua's inquiry, Mark. Rich took the initiative to explain: "The other party’s request is to obtain no less than US$2 billion in funding this year. This number may increase further when the spring comes next year, and is willing to borrow from the current international funds. When market interest rates generally fall, an annualized interest rate of 7% is still paid."
Tan Zhenhua replied, "Isn't this a good thing? Mark, isn't you here to manage this matter? Now that the business is on the door, I should congratulate you. However, given that the conditions I proposed last time, I have not been able to get any Regarding the answer, I don’t see, what does this matter have to do with me?"
"Eric, it makes me a little embarrassed to say that." Mark. Rich said: "In fact, we are all sensible people. My role in this business is not so much a manipulator, as an executor is more appropriate. I don’t think I need to explain this? So there are some things I can’t do. the final decision."
Tan Zhenhua nodded and said, "Yes, since I saw the ring in your hand, I understand your role in it. Since the "Knights Templar" has bred the oldest banking industry and relies on this industry Make a fortune, then even if you go underground, I can still imagine what kind of business you are doing."
"You can understand." Mark. Rich seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then explained: "Eric, I am not afraid to tell you that in this business of loans to Soviet Russia, in addition to profit, we have another goal..."
"I can also guess that compared to launching a hot war, although the financial war seems silent, but the intensity of the battle is far greater, and the damage and destruction caused are more serious. In fact, some things have come from the hot war. It may not be obtained, but it can be obtained from the financial war. In comparison, the victor may even get much more spoils than the start of a hot war, and it is not easy to be backlashed by opponents, and it is possible to avoid the same end. The worst result of it."
"It seems that there is no need for me to explain." Mark. Rich shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know everything. That's okay, we can talk more candidly. Eric, you should understand that some nominal private institutions have mastered the power of Soviet Russia. What does it mean after receiving a national loan? Of course, this is only the first step in the various attacks we have taken. You can guess the ultimate goal if you want to..."
"It's nothing more than subverting Soviet Russia's state power control over its financial institutions and creating national financial disasters. Well, if you want to achieve these goals, you will have to cultivate some people who have a certain right to speak and make financial policies in that country. The spokesperson of rights, I guess, the last time I know the Soviet Russian "new friends" will play that role." Tan Zhenhua also shrugged his shoulders: "Mark, in my opinion, you The work was done very well, but I still can’t tell what it has to do with me.

"Of course it does matter." Mark. Rich said in a deep voice: "The reason we chose you is because we believe that in this matter, you are consistent with our natural position, and you have certain advantages that we do not have-you are a Chinese People, and the feelings of Chinese people in Soviet Russia are still very different from those of us pure Westerners. For example, although your countries are still confronting, you still have the same social system, so you In fact, it is easier to establish a relationship of mutual trust, and even the communication between each other is much smoother than ours-and Eric, your personal influence in Soviet Russia is actually not less than that in China , Do you know? Almost every Soviet Russian who has dealt with us tries to get news about you from me. In their view, your success is not only a miracle, but also a model, illuminating them The guiding light of the way forward, after all, no one can refuse the temptation of success and wealth, and at the same time, they all hope that they can enjoy all this safely, right?"
"I didn't even know that I had such a big reputation in Soviet Russia." Tan Zhenhua laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "But Mark, no matter how great my influence is, it will not change Soviet Russia's position on China at the national level. It can't change the basic fact that I am a Chinese, so I can understand that the conditions I put forward will be rejected, and when I was in the U.S., someone specifically approached me for these conditions and asked me about these conditions. The reason and motivation of the conditions, Mark, here I want to reiterate that unless my conditions are met, I will not be able to participate in this operation of your loan to the Soviet Russia. I don’t want Soviet oil, nor do I I don’t want to risk being punished by my motherland to do this business, and if the Soviets really give me oil, how should I transport and store them? My motherland allows me to accept imports from Soviet Russia Oil? This is totally unimaginable."
"It seems you already know what I am looking for you this time." Mark. Rich said: Eric, you guessed it again. For well-known reasons, the cash in the international financial market is very tight. Our "Knights Templar" has conducted urgent consultations and has also discussed with all of the "Spectrum Club". The members exchanged views, and everyone agreed that the two billion dollars should be loaned to Soviet Russia. In addition to political purposes, this is obviously a very cost-effective business, and Eric, I I can also reveal an important piece of news to you. The person who undertakes this matter internally in the Soviet Union is one of the goals we are trying to win. If this loan operation can be successful, it will help him to reach a higher level. Location, gaining greater rights, and making a stronger voice within the Soviet Union are of great benefits to the implementation of our overall plan. That's why we found you. "
Tan Zhenhua nodded and said, "So, can I get consent to my terms? Mark, you know what I mean, it's not just Soviet Russia that needs to agree to this term, right?"
"You are really a persistent person." Mark. Richie said helplessly: "Eric, and you have a heart of stone."
"I'm just a person who is good at adhering to principles, and I think most people will think that this is a virtue." Tan Zhenhua replied: "How much is it? What is the mortgage?"
"One billion U.S. dollars, the collateral is part of the fixed assets of the Zaporozhye Iron and Steel Plant. The asset evaluation is done by the Moscow International Commercial Bank, and the specific undertaker of the loan is also this bank."
"Isn't this good? Let the business return to business, everything will become simple." Tan Zhenhua said with a smile: "Mark, you will get a substantial commission, I promise."
