Chapter 149 The Vice President Comes to Loan
The sun is shining and the wind is beautiful.
A black car slowly drove into the Yan State Embassy in Jinling City of Dazhou State.
The car door opened and Vice President Wen Qingxiang got out of the car. He was wearing a neat suit and walked steadily towards the embassy office.
Ambassador to Dazhou Xu Ling received the news early and learned that Vice President Wen Qingxiang would be visiting soon.
When he saw Wen Qingxiang walking into the office, he immediately stood up to greet him and shook hands with Wen Qingxiang warmly.
Then, the two sat together on the sofa in the office and started talking.
Xu Ling smiled and asked, "Mr. President, is there anything important that has brought you here this time?"
Wen Qingxiang answered directly: "Mr. Xu, I do have a very important matter to discuss with your country."
"Our country is currently facing some economic difficulties and we hope to borrow money from your country."
Xu Ling nodded to show his understanding.
He then asked: "So, how much money does your country need to borrow?"
"If the loan amount is not large, I can handle the matter on my own."
Wen Qingxiang said firmly: "Our country needs to borrow 1 billion Yan Guo currency."
Hearing this number, Xu Ling couldn't help but frowned and asked in surprise: "One billion? Are you sure? This is not a small amount."
Wen Qingxiang nodded without hesitation: "Yes, one billion Yan country currency is very important to us."
After thinking for a moment, Xu Ling said, "This amount is too large and beyond my authority."
"As a diplomat, I cannot decide on such a huge loan on my own."
"What does your country plan to use this loan for?"
"Perhaps after understanding the purpose, I can help you better."
Wen Qingxiang shook his head and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry I can't reveal too much about the specific purpose of this loan."
“Please believe that we will use this money wisely to promote the development of our country.”
Xu Ling smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, Mr. President."
"I understand your position, but one billion Yan Guo currency is not a small number after all."
“I have to consult my superiors and wait for their instructions before making a final decision.”
Vice President Wen Qingxiang responded: "No problem."
At this moment, Xu Ling suddenly said: "Mr. President, as far as I know, if our country borrows 10 billion."
"And if there is no collateral, the higher-ups probably won't agree."
After hearing this, the president immediately understood what he meant and asked quickly: "Then I wonder what your country needs?"
Xu Ling smiled and replied, "It depends on what you want to use as collateral, Mr. President."
The president said hesitantly, "This...this...this I need to go back and discuss with others."
Xu Ling nodded to show his understanding, and then continued to ask: "Then why doesn't your country consider other ways to raise 1 billion funds?"
"After all, your Great State's annual output value is as high as 10 billion."
The president smiled bitterly and explained: "Mr. Xu, you don't know!"
“Although our country’s annual output value is indeed very high.”
"But in reality these fortunes are not directly controlled by our government, but are in the hands of five big families."
Xu Ling frowned and asked in confusion: "Can't your country follow our example and bring the output of the five major families under national management?"
"Otherwise, leaving the economic lifeline of the country to the control of a family may not be a good thing for your country."
Vice President Wen Qingxiang was naturally aware of this problem: "Mr. Xu, the national conditions of our two countries are different. Perhaps your country can suppress these families forcefully."
"But our country's five major families are different. Their family members and various personnel have infiltrated the military, politics, and business. They firmly control the lifeline of our country. We can't touch them at all."
"As for our country's pilots alone, more than 90% of them come from these families. The five major families monopolize the economy of the entire Great State."
"A large number of government officials come from the five major families, and a large number of officers in the military also come from the five major families."
"Under this situation, we simply cannot suppress the five major families forcefully."
After hearing this, Xu Ling frowned and was secretly surprised. He did not expect that the situation in Dazhou Kingdom was so serious that it was completely controlled by the five major families and even the government and the army were affected.
He couldn't help but think of the situation in his own country. How terrible it would be if a similar situation occurred!
Xu Ling responded: "I didn't expect your country to be in such a situation. This is difficult to deal with. It's like your two presidents have to look at the faces of the five major families."
Wen Qingxiang sighed helplessly and said, "Yes, this is reality. We can only do our best and hope to find a solution to the problem."
At this moment, Vice President Wen Qingxiang asked again: "Mr. Xu, about our country's request for a loan?"
Xu Ling replied: "I will contact the higher-ups about this matter, but you'd better discuss what to use as collateral."
"Okay." Wen Qingxiang nodded.
However, just as the two men were about to continue the discussion, an officer quickly walked up to the vice president and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing the news, the vice president's face instantly became extremely solemn, and he even showed a look of shock.
He took a deep breath and said to Xu Ling: "Mr. Xu, I need to tell you something very bad."
Xu Ling frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Wen Qingxiang said solemnly: "In Shencheng, two citizens of your country were brutally killed by Dongyang people."
"What!" Xu Ling stood up suddenly, his face full of anger and his eyes flashing with anger.
Wen Qingxiang quickly advised: "Mr. Xu, please calm down."
Xu Ling suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth: "Damn Dongyang people, they even dared to touch us Yan people, they are simply courting death! !
"Mr. President, I have something else to deal with now, please..."
"I understand, I understand." Wen Qingxiang nodded in understanding.
Afterwards, Wen Qingxiang hurriedly left the office, while Xu Ling immediately sent a telegram back to China to report the incident in detail to the higher authorities.
The Vice President walked out the door with a brisk step, a smug smile on his face.
As he walked, he immediately asked the officers around him about the whole story.
When he understood the whole situation, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said softly: "This is going to be a good show to watch!"
"They actually mistook the Yan people for Dazhou people. This is really a big joke!"
"I want to see how Dongyang State will handle this matter."
After saying this, he happily boarded a luxury car and prepared to return to the Presidential Palace.
