"The cold wind swept across the streets of Weihai Harbor, shaking the steel-colored sea water of the Strait of Magellan. It was mid-March that the great bustards who abandoned Tierra Tierra indicate that the summer in the south is over. The sky will soon be shorter, and Patagonia will turn into a country of cold, ice and snow, and a long night." In the empty dance room, a young man was reciting a travel notation in an emotional voice. His focused expression and emotional tone reminded Liang Qiangdong of the scene when he was in class at Oriental Middle School many years ago. At that time, he also went on stage to recite poetry with his deskmate and his current wife.

"This is my first winter night in Patagonia. When the strong wind threatened to take away the brass pieces that protected the walls and the bitter matte tea wrapped them in, the strong wine may be the only support for the soul." The travel notes came to an abrupt end when the reading came to this point. The young man put down the notebook in his hand, tilted his head and looked at the door. After a while, he smiled and said, "It's you, Dongzi, are you asking me for trouble?"

After waving his hand to let several Persian dancers leave, Qiang Xiaoman walked to the wall, pulled out a piece of Xianghe wine from Xiang Township, South Africa from the wine cabinet, and poured a glass of Liang Qiangdong and himself.

"Sit." Qiang Xiaoman sat on a beautifully carved seat and said. The light in the dance room was a little dim, but this did not prevent the two from discussing some private topics, such as going to North America to invest in the Free State.

"Xiaoman, I want to invest in Freebank and do oak business. Are you interested?" Liang Qiangdong took a sip of the wine and praised it as more authentic than the ones he collected. I don't know where Qiang Xiaoman found it.

"Are you short of money?" Qiang Xiaoman smiled, didn't answer directly, looked at Liang Qiangdong and asked. Look?

"It's very scarce." Liang Qiangdong didn't hide it. "Investing in the free country is expensive and there is a lot of uncertainty, so it's better to be prepared for it. And I may have to raise money to take a few old ships from the Navy to pick up goods, and to recruit sailors. The cost here is too much, so I'm asking for a visit now."

"Dongzi, we grew up wearing open-crotch pants together. You have to do business. I am very supportive." Qiang Xiaoman sat upright, leaned over and said, "Friendship is friendship, business is business. You also understand my rules, it has not changed over the years. The annual interest rate is 12% and is not a diluent."

After seeing Liang Qiangdong's brows frowned slightly, Qiang Xiaoman smiled slightly and said, "But who told Dongzi, you are my brother? I'll give you a little reduction of 9%, isn't it enough?"

Damn it, a vampire! Liang Qiangdong suddenly became a little annoyed, but after the fundraising was frustrated by Bai Yutang and others, Qiang Xiaoman was one of the few financings he could find. Although the interest given by this guy was a little bit pit, it was better than not. You know, this guy has always had a good reputation. He said that he would borrow as much as he would, and he would never ask you for a credit before the expiration. Of course, if you can't pay the debt, he would have countless ways to make you pay it back. After all, he is the son of the current President Qiang Quansheng, and the big figures of the economy such as Zhou Shenwo, the director of the State Administration of Precious Metals Administration, the president of Northwest Reclamation Bank, and the president of United Industrial Credit Bank, etc., can say a few words. The energy is so great that outsiders can hardly imagine that this guy often works as a part-time financial broker.

"Xiaoman, it's great, it's enough for guys!" Liang Qiangdong understood that this interest rate was already a rare conscientious price. Perhaps just as Qiang Xiaoman said, this is the internal price for his brothers. Even if the Spanish king comes, he should be content. He sees that, he immediately said: "Xiaoman, brother is more anxious this time. At the end of this month (August), the Navy will auction some spoils in Yancheng Port. I want to row two or three old ships, you have to help me!"

"When will you want money?" Qiang Xiaoman's brow frowned first, and then quickly unfolded. "Before the end of the month, I have a 6,000 yuan payment. Your company has a common account at United Industrial Credit Bank. I will give it to me later. I will immediately call you after receiving the payment, and I will definitely not make any mistakes."

"Thank you, Xiaoman, I can't forget you to take action with mercy." Liang Qiangdong said half sincerely and half falsely.

"I mean little." Qiang Xiaoman leaned comfortably on the chair, tasted the wine, and said again: "Dongzi, brother, I know that you don't have enough money, so I have to go to Baiyutang. Wang Hui (son of Wang De, the president of the District Patrol Court) those idiots are raising money. It's not worth it! Did Baiyutang and others tell you to invest in your company? Humph, who doesn't know the way of these idiots? If you really let him invest in the stock, it would be fine if the company doesn't make much money in the future. If the business is really booming, this idiot will definitely join forces with Wang Hui and other friends to force the capital to dilute your shares. At that time, you will be a wedding dress for people in vain."

Liang Qiangdong was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He was embarrassed to say Bai Yutang. Wang Hui and others really didn't like his business this time, so he didn't attract investment at all. This was obviously the reason why he came to Qiang Xiaoman to borrow money. However, at this time, Qiang Xiaoman said this, and he could only follow the conversation: "Xiaoman, what you said is the most important thing. Didn't I just worry about this? Speaking of which, Xiaoman is the most righteous among our group of people. Brothers remember it."

Qiang Xiaoman was also a little happy to hear this. After all, the conflict between him and Bai Yutang and his group was well known. Liang Qiangdong was able to listen to him and not go to Bai Yutang's group of people, which made him feel very comfortable. So he was happy and pointed out a way for Liang Qiangdong: "Dongzi, since you look down on me so much, brother will give you a clear way. I heard Director Zhou say a few days ago that the accumulation of domestic capital has reached a certain level, and the people's willingness to invest is increasing. Therefore, the above intentionally guides some capital to invest in overseas colonies.

It doesn't sound very familiar. Yes, the government has played this before. At that time, the capital output guidance created part of the prosperity of New China Island today. Now the people want to play this. Among them, South Africa and Hejian are ranked first, and the Free State has also been ranked second due to policy guidance. Anyone who wants to invest in these places, as long as they issue a certain amount of asset certificate, is expected to get a certain amount of loan from United Industrial Credit Bank. Dongzi, if you are interested, I can ask you."

"Is this really a matter?" Liang Qiangdong was a little surprised. He even thought for a moment that if the loan amount was not small, why would he have to borrow money from Qiang Xiaoman? However, considering that Qiang Xiaoman still had to help him, he calmed down again and still had to give the money he should give.

"Let's wait for news at home, I'll ask for you." Qiang Xiaoman snapped his fingers and raised his glass and said to Liang Qiangdong.

Liang Qiangdong did not wait until after the family. In addition to paying close attention to the news of the navy's auction of spoils, he also asked people everywhere to ask about capital output. Later, he finally saw clues in a newly published internal magazine of reference information: "We also have a problem caused by the capital economy. The profits of industrial and other enterprise activities have gradually accumulated, forming huge reserves. And due to the insufficient number of adult labor and materials, these capitals encountered difficulties in making profitable local investments, so we are abroad.

Not only should we find a consumer market, but we must also find a market that can play the role of capital. To some extent, this urgent need will strengthen the political, economic and even military aggression of our country in the underachieving regions, but what does this matter? Opening up new land and conquering new colonies has been the usual policy of our country for a long time. Of course, we should give priority to unopened wastelands in China, but for areas with significant economic or strategic value, we still need to invest more or less capital."

"For overseas territories directly controlled (such as South Africa and other places for mutual benefit; but for external areas that can directly interfere (such as free states, North Korea and other places to carry out economic colonization in an appropriate way of "exploitation", it should include the following contents: A, guarantee the market for the sales of industrial products of the sovereign country; B, cheaply supply raw materials to the industrial system of the sovereign country, cheaply supply various natural consumer goods to the local people; C, provide cheap labor, and facilitate the sovereign country to use capital to reclaim large plantations, mines, and port enterprises and shipping companies; D, provide other investment opportunities, improvise banks, and local small industries, utilities, coastal shipping, roads, canals, etc. that will not compete with the sovereign country."

"It is foreseeable that although colonial residents will sometimes benefit from material progress, they will inevitably fall into a lower economic status, not only lower than the residents of the sovereign state, but also lower than those who come to these places from the sovereign state. This may certainly arouse their dissatisfaction, but under the combined effect of the comprador class we cultivated from the economic, the puppet regime supported by politics, and the auxiliary troops stationed in the military, these places will undoubtedly remain firmly in our hands and provide the body with a steady stream of nutrients."

After reading the contents of this internal reference, Liang Qiangdong felt as refreshing as eating an iced watermelon during the dog days of summer. In particular, the internal reference clearly stated that the economic control of the Free State should be increased, which seems to indicate that his investment in North American oak business is in line with the country's major policies. So with Qiang Xiaoman helping to discuss the matter, it should not be difficult to get some loans from several major state-owned banks, and most of these loans are special loans with hats. Although they cannot be used for other purposes, the interest rate must not be high, and the annual interest rate will never exceed 5%. This is so cool!
