Rodriguez smiled awkwardly, but it was like crying.Why doesn't he know this? Now there is a wave of government downturns in Argentina. If Argentina's economy still has no improvement before the end of the year, then the collapse of the current government can be said to be just a matter of time. problem.The Argentine coalition government, which came to power through general elections in [-], is facing the biggest crisis since its establishment!

"Counselor Rodriguez, I heard that your country owed a huge amount of foreign debt. About how much? How much accounted for your country's gross national product?" Fang Mingyuan changed a comfortable posture and said casually.

Rodriguez pondered for a while and said, "It's about [-] billion US dollars, almost half of our country's gross national product!" These things are not secrets. As long as Fang Mingyuan has the heart, it's only a matter of time before he finds out.

"I heard that your government is negotiating with the IMF on a new batch of 12 billion US dollars in loans. I wonder how sure your government is?" Fang Mingyuan asked with a relaxed look.

Rodriguez spread his hands and said helplessly, "Mr. Fang, I'm just an economic counselor. I'm not in charge of loan negotiations with the IMF. I'm 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 in your heart. Is it possible for your country's government to agree to the loan conditions of the IMF?" For those countries experiencing financial and economic crises, the IMF can be said to be a minority. An international organization that can give real money to aid.However, the imf's financial assistance is not given in vain, and has always been accompanied by extremely strict conditions.

Rodriguez was taken aback. He didn't expect that Fang Mingyuan would refute himself so forcefully. Don't Chinese people always like to express their wishes in a tactful manner?But he couldn't refute Fang Mingyuan's words, as Fang Mingyuan said, the loan conditions offered by imf.It is unacceptable to the Argentine government.

Fang Mingyuan looked directly at Rodriguez.Regarding the country of Argentina, to be honest, apart from football, ordinary people in China don't pay much attention to it.Fang Mingyuan's previous life.Except for some industry news.Attention to it is actually limited.It's just that when I searched for information about the international soybean market on the Internet, I learned more or less about other situations.Among them, there were several economic crises in Argentina that happened to leave an impression on him.The impact of the economic crisis on the Argentine economy this time is quite astonishing.Not only caused the resignation of Argentine President de la Rua, but also caused serious losses to the Argentine economy.This chaos lasted until [-], when Argentina's economy gradually returned to normal.

Rodriguez felt that Fang Mingyuan's eyes were like x-rays, looking straight into the depths of his heart, making his little thoughts exposed in broad daylight.

"Mr. Fang!" Rodriguez forced a smile, "Okay, I admit that what you said is indeed reasonable. The loan conditions of the imf are too harsh, and it is difficult for the Chinese government to agree. However, at present, It has been decided that if there is not enough loan assistance, our government will face big trouble."

Only then did Fang Mingyuan smile and said, "If I can secure a sum of no less than 15 billion U.S. dollars for your government, 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, can you contact Argentina with a fund of no less than 15 billion US dollars? $15 billion, not $15!

"Let me tell you, I can secure a fund of no less than 15 billion U.S. dollars for your government. What can your government provide as collateral?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.

Rodriguez made sure his ears heard correctly. Although the official language of Argentina is Spanish, Rodriguez, as a diplomat, can still speak American fluently. 15 billion U.S. dollars, which means that the current loan negotiations between the Argentine government and the IMF will not be imminent, which means that the financial market that is about to explode in the country will get a chance to ease!Although the 15 billion US dollars is just a drop in the bucket for the entire foreign debt of Argentina, with this 15 billion US dollars, the outbreak of the crisis may be postponed to next year, and perhaps the president can reach an agreement with Congress at that time to launch New solutions to come.So that Argentina escaped this disaster!And this also means that the volcano under Minister Lorencino's butt may be able to temporarily sleep for a few more days!

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. Why help the Argentine government?

"It's what your government needs to do, and it's not something that I need to worry about, taking out suitable collateral that is tempting enough." Fang Mingyuan said with a chuckle, "However, your government can rest assured that we No political requirements will be attached, nor will your country be asked to open any markets, we do not represent the government, we only represent ourselves!"

Fang Mingyuan's words made Rodriguez feel a little more at ease. The reason why the Argentine government and the imf have been unable to reach an agreement is because there are too many other conditions attached to the loan agreement, which makes Argentina feel unacceptable. .

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

"Please tell me!" Rodriguez said immediately.If you don't say anything, it's more worrying.

"First, my family has just established an airline in Hong Kong. I hope to get approval for the opening of air routes between your country's main airport and Hong Kong and the main airports in mainland China. Of course, according to the 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 don't have the right to make a decision, I don't think this request is a problem!" As Fang Mingyuan said, the airline asked to open This is a normal business requirement for routes from major cities in Argentina to Hong Kong and mainland China.Normally, approval is only a matter of time.Unless, Argentina has any special requirements.But at the moment, Rodriguez can't think of it himself.If the other party can help facilitate this loan, it is not too much to ask the Argentine government to handle this matter specially.

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

"Secondly, I personally plan to buy some land in your country to build a farm, because the area may be relatively large, and I hope your country will provide some convenience in various aspects." Fang Mingyuan said.Now that he has decided to buy land in Brazil, Argentina, which is a neighboring country of Brazil and also has high-quality land resources, also plans to buy some land, which can be regarded as not putting all eggs in one basket.

Rodriguez breathed a sigh of relief again. For the Argentine government, this request is nothing. "How big is your plan?"

"At least [-] hectares." Fang Mingyuan said casually, "If the location is suitable and the geological conditions are good, it's okay to buy more."

Rodriguez couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue. The land price in Argentina is basically on the same level as Brazil. The value of [-] hectares of high-quality land is hundreds of millions of dollars!He was even more curious about Fang Mingyuan's net worth.

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

"That's it?" Rodriguez asked in surprise.In his mind, if Fang Mingyuan could facilitate this loan, he would definitely have to speak up.You must know that with the current rating of the Argentine government in the international financial market, no commercial bank is willing to provide loans to it.As for bonds, again, no one wants to buy them at all.This is why the Argentine government can basically only hang itself on the imf tree.None of the three conditions put forward by Fang Mingyuan can be considered harsh, and it can be said that the Argentine government should have done it in the first place!

"If your government is willing to give me more benefits, I don't mind accepting it." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "After all, no one earns a lot of benefits."

Rodriguez left the Copacabana Palace Hotel with an excited heart, and almost rushed to the Argentine consulate in Rio de Janeiro at the fastest speed. The consul was really taken aback, thinking that something happened Big deal.Then, "borrowing" the communication facility in the consulate, Rodriguez called Minister Lorencino.Such good news, he must notify the minister as soon as possible.

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

Rodriguez had no choice but to tell the other party that he would wait here forever.

But he waited until after nine o'clock in the evening!The phone finally rang, and Rodriguez picked it up right away.

Minister Lorencino's tired voice came over the phone, "Hi, Gu Lei, have you met that person?" (To be continued...)
