Chapter 962: Triple Alliance (11)
"You say, how about the government taking the lead in setting up a new bank within the upcoming alliance to provide funds to help the countries in the alliance develop their economies and infrastructure..."
Back at home, lying on the bed, Yan Shao leaned his head on his arms and asked softly to Elano beside him.
"Banks?" Hearing Yan Shao's words, Elaline, who was removing makeup from his face, paused slightly.
Although the years have not left too many traces on Elano's body, he also has a stunning appearance. However, for a woman, if she does not know how to dress herself, it is equivalent to a disability.
Of course, this may be an exaggeration, but for women, makeup is undoubtedly a very important item. Because it can make the already beautiful woman more beautiful, it can naturally make the originally ugly woman more pleasing to the eyeββββββ some makeup experts, and even make a woman who is not eye-catching become a cute girl.
It can only be said that the function of makeup is really not inferior to PS.
In the same way, it is difficult to say that there are a few women who do not love beauty, and Elano is naturally also a woman, and of course it is impossible not to love beauty. Even Caterina is the same, so when they go out on weekdays, they still wear some light makeup.
And now, it's late at night, and it's time to take off your makeup. After all, if the makeup stays on the face for a long time, the danger will be great.
However, when he heard Yan Shao's words while removing his makeup, Elaline was somewhat stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Saying that, Elinor looked at Yan Shao, although there was still a lot of makeup left on his face. But it doesn't detract from her beauty. Instead, it produced a very strange beauty, which made Yan Shao, who had been with Eleno for almost ten years, couldn't help but feel a little attracted.
It's not surprising that I've been getting along for more than ten years. But no matter which woman it is, she obviously won't show her man what she looks like before she finishes removing her makeup. Therefore, in the past ten years, Yan Shaozhi has really never seen Elinor what she looks like now.
But after all, I'm used to seeing beautiful women, and I've been with me for more than ten years. So Yan Shao quickly recovered, and lifted up his spirit, which had just been slightly tired from the meeting during the day.
"Well, I wonder if we can set up a bank within the alliance and have a certain amount of money injected into China and Thailand and Iran. After that, if the countries in the alliance have any development needs, they can borrow money from this bank and help each other. β
Heard Yan Shao say this. Elano nodded slightly, understanding what Yan Shao meant, but he couldn't help but ask. But in that case, what is the difference between us and direct assistance? After all, even aid can be calculated with interest. β
"It's not for that interest." Yan Shao shook his head. "You know a little bit about Carter's information, too. Moreover, it is no secret that Thailand and Iran are in the situation. Corruption in both countries is very high. If you think about it, some ordinary projects are even counted, but if you put the money in their hands, who knows where they will spend it? Whether it was put into your own pocket or put it into the project. β
Speaking of this, Yan Shao couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling a little annoyed in his heart.
Because just a few months ago, when the National Social Government provided massive assistance to the Iranian government. Secret Service personnel in Iran. It is said that the Iranian government secretly sold some of the ordnance donated to Iran by the Communist government and exchanged it for money, and the money fell into the hands of those high-ranking officials of the Iranian government.
To know. The support given to Iranians by the Nationalist government is all the tax paid by Chinese taxpayers. These taxes are used to make the country stronger and the people happier, not to make money for Iran's elites.
Therefore, Yan Shao soon signaled the Chinese Embassy in Iran to inform the Iranian government of the incident and asked the Iranian government to deal with the matter severely. In order to prevent the Iranian government from convicting a few scapegoats and omitting the real culprits, Yan Shao even asked the Special Affairs Bureau to provide a more detailed list to the Iranian government.
Of course, Yan Shao knew that this would offend people, after all, there were countless similar things in Chinese history, and now Yan Shao's interference is basically equivalent to cutting off people's money.
But Yan Shao is not afraid, because now it is the Iranians who are begging for themselves. Besides, even if he cut off the financial means of those people, what can these Iranians do with him? If these people were really so capable, they would not have to worry about the oppression of the British or the Russians.
Naturally, some of these have already been controlled by the national government, and this part needs to be protected.
But on the other hand, after seeing this kind of thing, Yan Shao somewhat understood the feelings of Americans in history. In the face of this kind of regime that only greedily buys its own aid and can hardly do anything for the rest of the business, Yan Shao is too much like giving up. It's a pity that Yan Shao can't do this, no matter how Iran doesn't fight, Yan Shao can only stand up to Iran now.
After all, Yan Shao has too few allies to choose.
What's more, in today's world, regimes that are not greedy are too rare, and Iran is one of the relatively good ones. In this case, what is Yan Shao not satisfied with?
As for why they have to be strict, it is because only in this way can those people know that they can be greedy for anything in their own country, but they cannot be greedy for the aid given to them by the national government, because these are all donated by Chinese taxpayers to build their country, not let them build their own pockets.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Things are as Yan Shao expected, that is, when the initial accusations were received from the national government, the Iranian government did intend to pick out some not very important scapegoats from themββββββ it can only be said that similar things are probably common to the whole world.
However, after receiving the detailed list provided by the national government. The Iranian government has no choice.
In the end, when there was no other way, the Iranian government had no choice but to deal with the matter strictly. Of course, the Iranian government can hate it, except because the Iranian government at this time is extremely dependent on the national government. Another reason is that although some of the people involved in this case are high-level Iranian leaders, they are not considered core figures.
So although it is a little distressing to give up, such a decision is not impossible.
What's more, during this period of time, I don't know how many Iranian government officials have been bribed by the national government, and with the help of these people, the Iranian king will naturally make up his mindββββββ in fact, even the Iranian king himself knows it. His current position is completely with the help of the national government, which can be stabilized.
Without the support of the Communist government, both northern Iran and southern Iran, which is already uncontrolled. I'm afraid we have to go back to where we were.
At that time, the only choice for the current Shah of Iran is probably to live the same life in the gap again.
This is another reason why Iranians are reluctant to engage in conflict with the Communist, especially on such matters.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"So." Look at Elairon. Yan Shao stood up from the bed. Then he walked to her side and gently helped her remove the light makeup on her face with some things in front of the dressing table. "We should set up a development bank, so that if any country in the alliance needs money, it can go to the bank and ask for it, and all they need to provide is a certain amount of interest, and all they need to do is the whole project details. Let the bank make a decision after discussing whether the whole plan is feasible! β
This is Yan Shao's idea, if you give all the money to a country like Iran or Thailand. So where did these people end up spending their money? I'm afraid no one knows, not even if it's in a pocket.
Also, if you provide the materials directly, they may also sell the materials they have in hand, which is not impossible. It happened in Iran not long ago, but after the guillotine was erected, this kind of thing happened less in Iran, but it is not easy for this lawless country to completely stop it.
So, let them come up with a plan for the banks to do the overall measurement and supervision. This will not completely stop corruption, but it will at least make the situation much better.
In the final analysis, Yan Shao wants to establish this alliance, not only to make this alliance look big, but most importantly, to make this alliance look strong.
Both Iran and Thailand are countries with potential. Yan Shao wants to give full play to these potentials, instead of being like some countries in later generations, no matter how much they help, they can't help them, and finally become a dou that no one wants to support!
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After listening to Yan Shao's thoughts, Ileno closed her eyes and let Yan Shao remove the makeup from her face while thinking carefully about what he had just said.
As for Yan Shao himself, he patiently helped Elaline remove her makeup, and at the same time waited for her answer.
Yan Shao has always admired Elanon's ability. Although Elano's ability is mainly focused on business, isn't this incident also quite related to business?
Yan Shao is actually very clear about himself, he knows very well that he is not as powerful as the outside world touts. What kind of majestic strategy, what kind of emperor through the ages, etc., these are not close to each other.
Yan Shao has only two advantages, no, only one to be exact, and that is the advantage of being a traverser.
As a traverser, Yan Shao knows exactly which talents can be used, and which talents are actually just some straw bales.
Similarly, Yan Shao can also rely on his own memory to judge and even predict the trend of the situation in this era, and the accuracy of the prediction is very high.
The former allows Yan Shao to concentrate all the outstanding talents of this era under his own account, such as Cai Yi and Jiang Baili. After all, without knowing the talents of the two, how many people would rashly grant them such great rights and honors.
Many times, even the two of them are wondering. Why did Yan Shao pick out the two of them in the sea of people to reuse?
But no matter what, the two are still very grateful to Yan Shao, after all, the matter is because of Yan Shao's relationship. When Yan Shao had just founded the Guoshe governmentββββββ, Cai Yi was only the overseer of Yunnan Province, and Jiang Baili was just a senior staff officer of Yuan Shikai's Beiyang government.
Needless to say, although Jiang Baili's status in Beiyang seems to be quite good, he actually does not have any real power in his hands. It's basically just an ornament, a vase.
Cai Ye seems to be much stronger, but in fact it is. But he was always just one of the overseers in many provinces in the country, and there was nothing special about him. At least not yet.
And now, when the national government was just formed. The local warlords in those provinces are no longer very conspicuous today. At least many of these warlords have now been transferred from their original positions to the central government, and it is difficult to say what real power is still in hand. Even some of them are still local. Basically, they have been almost hollowed out, and there is no threat to the central government.
The same is true for the military, although these are still the commanders or higher-ranking officers. But the people below who served as high-ranking officers were no longer their old subordinates. Rather, it is a group of people who have graduated from military academies. What these people are loyal to is Yan Shao, this country, but they are definitely not the remnants of these old times.
It is conceivable that if it weren't for Yan Shao, no matter how outstanding Cai Yi and Jiang Baili's abilities were. I'm afraid it will also be buriedββββββ such a thing has not happened in history, Huang Zhong in the Three Kingdoms. In later generations, it was rumored that if he was in the prime of life, his force value was likely to be equal to that of Lu Bu, which is such an example.
No way, who told Huang Zhong to mix in the relatively stable Jingzhou area, if it was in the north, especially in the war-torn areas of the Central Plains, maybe he would have already got ahead, and he didn't need to wait until he was old to get ahead, and he was even said 'old pawn' by Guan Yu.
Naturally, followed by Wu Peifu and others, who are also inexplicably grateful. These are some people who are very famous in history, but they were unknown when Yan Shao established the Guoshe government. It is precisely because of Yan Shao that they have a chance to show their talents, instead of using all their talents to fight the civil war.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Later, Yan Shao told Eleno what he wanted to do, including his intention to have the state come forward to form the bank. At the same time, the position of chairman of the bank is temporarily rotated every five years.
From a certain point of view, Yan Shao can be regarded as fair as possible.
Of course, this is also the case, after all, in later generations, China established the New Development Bank, also known as the BRICS Development Bank. The entire BRICS Development Bank will be headquartered in Shanghai, China, with its first chairman from Russia, its first chairman from Brazil, and its first president from India.
In addition, the BRICS Development Bank mainly finances the infrastructure construction of BRICS countries and other developing countries, which is of great strategic importance to BRICS countries. Brazil, South Africa, Russia, and India have large infrastructure gaps, and when national finances are insufficient, joint financial cooperation is needed.
Of course, in the future, the BRICS Bank will be open not only to the five BRICS countries, but to all developing countries, and as a member of the BRICS, it may receive preferential lending rights. The BRICS Development Bank gives priority to supporting infrastructure construction in BRICS countries.
And the bank that Yan Shao conceived is more or less the same, that is, the government of the state and Thailand and Iran inject capital, and then China owns the vast majority of the shares, and then let the bank inject capital from China and other countries to lend to all the countries in the world that need loans.
After that, the bank can operate slowly. In the end, with all the benefits in all aspects, the bank can even be self-sufficient without the help of anyone.
Of course, this is just an idea, as I said before, this is only Yan Shao's idea by accident after all. Whether or not to do this still needs to be discussed with everyone at the cabinet meeting, and at the same time with the Thai government and the Iranian government, after all, such a thing is not Yan Shao's alone.
Although Yan Shao also intends to make the entire alliance a hall of words in China, some things on the surface still need to be maintained after all.
However, even if the Iranian government and the Thai government disagree, Yan Shao has the intention to set up such a bank. If I have to say, it is probably similar to the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank founded by China in the future.
It's just that whether it should be official or private, Yan Shao is a little undecided.
After all, today's world is not like that of later generations, where there are not only many countries but also many countries. To be honest, I am really worried that I might lose my money when I start such a country.
At least in Yan Shao's opinion, the possibility of this is definitely not low. Especially for countries outside the alliance, if you are not careful, it is very likely that all the investment will disappear! Therefore, Yan Shao didn't think that it was a good idea to run privately, after all, no matter how big the Yushi Group was, it couldn't afford such a loss-making transaction. (To be continued......)
