Chapter 1084: Huge Loans
Everyone was stunned, why, Mr. Minister still wants to get a loan for the government?
"Mr. Minister, you, do you mean that if you want your country to apply for another loan for us, a loan of one and a half million pounds?"
Rodman stammered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"What? Isn't that possible? ”
Jiang Shenghua said with a smile: "However, this is definitely not free aid, after all, it is one and a half million pounds, this is not a small amount, even for our empire, it is a huge number, our country is under construction, a large amount of financial funds have been invested in railways and armaments, whether this fund can be raised, I don't know the bottom, however, you can give it a try, as for the interest, I don't think our majesty will give you too high interest, after all, we are friends......
Everyone was stunned, one and a half million pounds, this minister is really generous, too generous, if there is really this one and a half million pounds, the problem of the Boer merger may really be solved!
"Mr. Minister, that's a million and a half million pounds, and you're really willing to help?"
Jiang Shenghua nodded and replied, "Of course!" Since we are friends, we naturally want to help each other, but I can't guarantee whether we will achieve a satisfactory result now. ”
Rodman didn't have long to be excited, and then he was bitter again.
Rodman grinned and said worriedly: "Mr. Minister, even if you can win a loan of 1.5 million pounds, we must be able to repay it in the future, 1.5 million pounds, even if the interest rate given to us by your country is relatively low, the ten-year repayment period, the principal and interest to be paid in that year will be 200,000 pounds, I am afraid that our government will not be able to afford it......"
Martinas, who were still very excited, and Krugel were like being poured cold water on their heads, yes, they had to pay back 200,000 pounds a year! This is not a small amount, now the government's annual deficit is small 200,000 pounds, if you add the small 200,000 pounds of loan principal and interest, then the fiscal deficit will be close to 400,000 pounds, plus the fiscal deficit of the Orange Free State, easily exceed 500,000 pounds, 500,000 pounds, the financial pressure is even greater!
Jiang Shenghua frowned and replied: "This, I will try my best to fight for reasonable interests for your country, hoping to reduce the financial pressure of your country as much as possible, but, to be honest, I am not too sure, I need to ask the opinion of our imperial government, however, why should we give it a try, give it a try, maybe the imperial government will come up with a perfect solution, if you don't try, then there will be no chance at all......"
"Yes!"
Krueger said fiercely: "Martinas, Rodman, the opportunity is rare, if the Huaxia Empire can really help us, why don't we give it a try?" If you can get a low-interest loan of £1.5 million and give us a long enough repayment period, you will be our greatest friend of the Transvaal Republic, and we will award you the Order of Freedom! ”
Jiang Shenghua said with a smile: "In this case, then I'll try, maybe you can wait for good news, and you should know that the Transvaal Republic will be more powerful after the merger, now your finances are only one million pounds, maybe after the merger of the two countries, your fiscal revenue can exceed two million pounds or even more!" Isn't it? ”
After some conversation, Jiang Shenghua drifted away, leaving the dignitaries of the Transvaal in the presidential palace.
Rodman said excitedly: "Martinas, maybe, maybe the day of our Boer people's real independence and freedom is really coming, it is really coming!" With a friend like the Huaxia Empire, what are we not satisfied with? As long as Orange merges with the Transvaal, the Zulu kingdom will definitely not be our opponent, and our real threat will only be England in the south, and I believe that the Boers will become stronger step by step! ”
"It's just, can we really afford such a large loan? Rodman, you should know best about our country's financial situation, if the two countries merge, our fiscal revenue should be about 1.8 million pounds, but our fiscal expenditure will be maintained at more than 2.2 million pounds, and the annual fiscal deficit will definitely exceed 400,000 pounds, then our country's financial pressure will be even greater, and we will face more problems, this is an unsolvable problem......"
Burges, who was on the side, smiled bitterly.
Rodman's face darkened, Burges was right, who made his country too small, the two free states together, even the blacks were counted, there were not four million people, even if each person paid one pound of financial revenue, it was only four million pounds a year, but this is impossible, the Boers have not been rich enough to this extent, as for the blacks, it is even more embarrassing, not as good as the Boers.
"Maybe, maybe the Huaxia Empire will give us a surprise, wait and see, we look forward to a surprise result......"
Martinas said in a deep voice.
"Haha, Mr. Kong, this time, Martinas and Kryuger were finally moved by what I said, and we are one step closer to success......"
Qilu Bank, Jiang Shenghua said with a laugh.
Kong Youlin smiled: "What's wrong? ”
Jiang Shenghua replied: "I have successfully moved Martinas and Kryuegel's determination to launch the merger of the Transvaal and Orange, and if they want to complete the merger of the two republics, it will take at least 1.5 million pounds to complete, where did they get such a large amount of money?" In the end, you don't want to borrow from us? One and a half million pounds, plus interest, plus their existing deficit, they will never be able to afford it, and can only beg us to give them preferential terms! Our plan can be launched in advance! ”
Kong Youlin's spirit was shocked and asked, "Have they agreed to borrow money to promote reunification affairs?" ”
Jiang Shenghua nodded and replied: "Now we need you to draw up our plan in advance, 1.5 million pounds is only afraid that it will be a little difficult for them to complete the reunification, and after the merger of the two countries, the financial rise is also certain, I am afraid that they will not be able to completely drag them into the water, and we will increase the loan amount to two million pounds!" Two million pounds, a fixed interest rate of 1.5 percent per annum, half lower than that of other countries, I think they will be absolutely satisfied, as for the conditions, you are more proficient than me, according to Your Majesty's instructions, hurry up and put it out! ”
