Chapter 675 USD Bonds
For automobile factory projects, the key is the Soviet Union, or the key is the Soviet Union's ruble loan. If the Soviet Union's equipment and technology still have loans, Yangcheng will also provide infrastructure and land acquisition fee support. In addition, such a project will obtain 500 million yuan or 800 million yuan loans. If Jing Jian can provide 200 million US dollars of start-up funds here, it will not be flexible.
But now that the ruble loan has been used for more than half, Jing Jian really can't speak anymore? Did he say to the Soviet Union: "I have no money anymore, you can borrow some more?" Isn't this a joke?
Unexpectedly, after just a few days, Nona hurried to the United States, and Jing Jieke felt enlightened. The current situation became interesting.
...
"Bramble, you can't do this. Our new equipment in China has begun to be built, but you suddenly withdrew from this project. Who should compensate for this loss?" Nona smiled cleverly and said with a smile.
Jing Jian shook his head with a smile. Do you still need to blame each other at this time? Especially when facing a beautiful lady: "Nona, there are several good places in Los Angeles. Are you interested in going to have fun?"
"I'm not here to play, I really want to solve the current trouble as soon as possible." Nona slowly became serious. "Bramble, personally, and the Soviet Union all want this project to be successful. If you have any personal requirements, you can make it to me."
China can still remain reserved and endure it and not contact Jing Jian, but the Soviet Union is really unable to bear it. So this time Nona came with a mission, so it must have a result, preferably a good result.
"Nona, I think you can talk, pay attention, just talk. The delay time is too long. I personally can be patient, but the changes in the outside world are too great. For example, the last time I got a loan from your foreign trade bank, I have already used it in a fleet of people. So my requirements this time are quite clear. If it is OK, it is OK. If it is not OK, it is not OK. I don't want to get into endless disputes anymore."
After hearing Jing Jian's words, a middle-aged man behind Nona smiled slightly: "Mr. Branpur, this is also what we mean in the Soviet Union."
When introducing it, Jing Jian knew that the person was named Pan Caifu, and now he saw him proactively expressing his position and understood that Pan Caifu was the actual decision-maker of today's negotiations. So Jing Jian nodded to him slightly: "The original terms have basically not changed much. The key to the problem now is money. Simply put, I need a loan of at least one billion rubles."
Pan Tsev was no longer hiding behind the scenes. He directly replied: "One billion ruble, or even more loans are fine, but from the information we obtained, you have already loaned more than 2.8 billion US dollars from major banks around the world. This does not include the more than 1.6 billion ruble you had loaned from our foreign trade bank before, and your RMB loan in China. Sorry, I am not questioning your repayment ability here, but we, the Soviet Union, must not take too much risk, so I would like to ask, do you have anything to mortgage?"
"Can I count the 1700 million East German marks in the East German Commercial Bank?" Jing Jian asked half-jokingly. In fact, on the eve of the merger of the two Germanys, East German marks depreciated quite significantly. The official price was basically around 1:4 with West German marks, and the black market price had already reached 1:7. Therefore, the growth rate of East German marks in Jing Jian's account is quite amazing. It is estimated that by the time the two Germanys are unified, it will basically exceed 2 billion.
Of course, Pantev was unwilling to accept East Demark, just as he would never accept RMB. He smiled and shook his head: "We still hope that you can take out high-quality assets, preferably with shares of listed companies as collateral."
"Haha." Jing Jian could not accept such conditions, not because he didn't want to, but because he really couldn't do it. In the past, he had already mortgaged Delta Power's stock to Hirata Bank.
The negotiations seemed to have reached a deadlock all of a sudden, while Nona on the side looked nervous. Instead, Pan Caifu smiled and took out the cigarette box, and both of them lit the cigarette. Jing Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Pan Caifu, you actually have a misunderstanding. I can borrow $2.8 billion, which proves that I already own $2.8 billion in assets. I may actually own more, and several of my major projects are in the construction stage. As long as I start production, my assets will be further valued."
"I believe this." Pantev nodded, "Branbull, declare in advance that I am not trying to make things difficult for you today, but I want to try my best to solve the problem."
"Uh-huh."
Pan Tsev smiled: "Have you ever thought about investing in our US dollar bonds in the Soviet Union?"
“Dollar Bonds?”
Jing Jian was quite surprised: "Can you introduce your plan?"
"I want you to underwrite $500 million in three-year bonds. Of course, there is no discount on underwriting, but we agree to provide you with another one billion ruble loan. This loan has a prerequisite, and the funds are dedicated to the car factory project, and we can relax the restrictions on mortgages."
"What do you mean? If the car factory project is not successful, I will not get the loan, but those bonds still need to be purchased?"
“Yes, your understanding is quite correct.”
"Then you're going to buy it right away?"
"Of course not. We can sign an agreement first, which will leave you time to raise funds as long as you purchase it within this year. Note that the liquidated damages may be relatively high, 10%. Sorry, I think such conditions are already preferential. After all, the US dollar bonds you get will pay interest."
What Pan Caifu proposed was actually a kind of currency exchange agreement. The Soviet government lent Jing Jian ruble, and Jing Jian purchased Soviet dollar bonds. Generally speaking, it is not a matter of whoever takes advantage of it, but the situation is very unusual now? The Soviet Union will disintegrate in a year?
Jing Jian once heard that when the Soviet Union borrowed heavily, and when he inherited the Soviet legacy, Russia was unable to repay the huge amount of foreign debt, and it continued to default. It was not until the oil price soared and it was slowly repaying it. In other words, if Jing Jian purchased those bonds, he would definitely not get it on time. The only thing he was glad that he could get it back in the end.
