Such efficiency.
He was astounded.
"I wonder, how much gold can your country sell?" Sun Jiang asked.
"This amount." Ling held up five fingers.
Sun Jiang was startled.
Is Ling still playing games?
"Fifty tons?" Sun Jiang guessed.
Ling nodded.
"Correct, you guessed right. Fifty tons each month, the duration is uncertain, but at least three years won’t be a problem." Fifty tons, nearly forty percent of the monthly gold production.
Instantly,
Sun Jiang felt he had underestimated Ling again, five hundred tons at once, and fifty tons each month, the implications were different, indicating that Ling might have new sources of gold.
As for that super gold mine being exhausted.
Believing half of it would suffice.
Three years.
Eighteen hundred tons of gold.
Truly tempting.
Then,
Ling continued,
"For these fifty tons of gold each month, to show sincerity, we don’t even require payment in US dollars, RMB is acceptable. However, this money cannot be used for trade settlements between our two countries."
"Because, this gold does not belong to the Myanmar government, but to the Myanmar Bank Group, so the proceeds from the gold should be transferred into the Myanmar Investment Company’s accounts in Huaxia."
"Agreed," Sun Jiang nodded.
Of course, whoever owns the gold gets the money, apparently, this monthly one hundred billion RMB ’cake’ has nothing to do with the Myanmar government, but what does that have to do with him.
Ling will take care of everything.
Not long after,
Sun Jiang left.
Preparing to report Ling’s intentions back to the domestic authorities.
Even though he felt it was a good deal.
The domestic authorities might not agree, thankfully, Ling didn’t make an ultimatum, didn’t say they must agree before selling the gold, that wouldn’t be cooperation, but a threat. Huaxia doesn’t accept threats.
Ling just proposed a concept.
Agreeing,
better for cooperation.
Unwilling,
no problem either.
To avoid any not so significant issues leading to unpleasantness, that would be boring. Actually, these terms were also hastily thought up by Tang Qing, if successful, indeed beneficial for Myanmar shares.
...
Huaxia,
received the news.
Somewhat surprised.
Myanmar Bank Group had previously mentioned, those two thousand six hundred tons of gold would serve as a safeguard for issuing the Asia Dollar, meaning, the fifty tons of gold each month, are not part of those two thousand six hundred tons.
That implied,
Either Ling had discovered another large gold mine.
Or,
there was still a vast amount of gold hidden, those two thousand tons being only part of it. Whichever the case, Ling was going to make a huge profit, fifty tons were worth over a hundred billion RMB.
Pure profit.
No taxes.
Of course, Huaxia was very willing, especially since it was to be paid in RMB, just type a one and add ten zeros in the Central Bank’s computer system to get back fifty tons of gold, naturally, it’s worth it.
However, there was a slight issue with Ling’s proposal.
Financial policy adjustments.
Without long discussions and expert evaluations, it’s impossible, even if agreed upon, the interface work between both sides also needed time, the earliest possible would be the beginning of next year.
This isn’t like mending a road,
where you just do it.
It involved the financial security of a nation,
cannot be careless.
...
In the afternoon,
Sun Jiang received instructions from Huaxia.
Consideration possible,
but further detailed discussions were needed, hoping the Myanmar side could present a feasible plan to secure Huaxia’s interests for further negotiations, and what Huaxia didn’t expect was,
when Sun Jiang finished speaking,
preparing to leave,
Ling directly handed him a book...?
Quite thick.
At least three hundred pages.
Opening it,
it was filled densely with Chinese Characters, no title on the white cover, but judging by the small subtitles and contents, Sun Jiang knew, it was the proposal for Huaxia.
Sun Jiang swallowed his saliva.
His face filled with disbelief.
How long had Ling planned this, just waiting for today.
I said in the morning,
you give the plan in the afternoon.
Ling smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, don’t misunderstand, at the very beginning of Myanmar Stocks’ plan, we anticipated this possibility, so we prepared a plan, since you want it, take a look, if there are issues, we can discuss further."
"Fine, I’ll... I’ll personally return to my country." Holding it, Sun Jiang felt it was somewhat heavy.
This thing.
Considered a high-level confidential document of the government.
Negligence not allowed.
Better to deliver it personally.
"Hope the next time I come, you can bring me good news," Ling said.
"Hope so."
Walking out of the Presidential Palace.
Sun Jiang’s face bore a bitter smile.
Cooperating with Ling,
without a strong heart, one really might not bear it. Indeed, no ordinary person, does extraordinary things, having such a far-seeing partner is astonishing and pleasing.
...
Elsewhere,
At the US embassy in Myanmar,
Annesley was receiving a new task from the United States.
--- Persuade Ling.
To transfer the gold to the United States for storage, even if not all, at least part, and the condition offered, nearly made Annesley refute it back, which was merely willing to provide more loans to Myanmar.
After hanging up,
Annesley cursed his superior’s relatives all over.
Damn.
Are you brainless?
Before, they clamored about providing loans to Ling, Ling also reluctantly accepted a ten billion dollars, now you want his gold, with a not-so-attractive condition.
Do you think this is South Korea?
Are you insane?
However,
Annesley was an executive.
Couldn’t question the decisions of the upper department, moreover, he was still a ’guilty body’ with blemishes, if it wasn’t for the ongoing squabble over India, he probably would have been settled already.
At that moment,
he hoped the upper levels wouldn’t stop.
Continue fighting.
Otherwise,
he might be transferred to Africa in a minute.
Yet,
’fear’ of Ling,
made even stepping outside intimidating for him, repeated failures’ psychological shadow almost cost Annesley his confidence as a diplomat, what of the United States? Still couldn’t intimidate Ling.
Shit.
Go to hell with America.
Can’t scare anyone.
What good is it?
Here,
probably even the African countries’ embassies in Myanmar are more welcome than him, because Ling has trade with Africa, while with the United States, currently only a few companies cooperate, hardly frequent trade, as if anyone cares about you.
"FUCK."
After cursing,
still had to work.
Regarding the recent ’helplessness’ of the United States,
Annesley heard some rumors, the problem was internal in the United States, nothing visible outwardly, yet it seemed like various departments and interest groups in America felt like they were about to be involved.
Some said it was a collision between old and new interest groups.
Some mentioned some kind of splits among the consortiums.
Moreover,
as he knew,
ERV was recently very active, contacting some emerging forces and economic organizations, planning to evolve in the direction of a consortium, for which, politically, ERV was also actively seeking more support from legislators.
He also saw it as bewildering.
Only hoping this turmoil would pass soon.
Regain authority.
Then,
Good to teach Ling a lesson.
