Chapter 781 Why should I pay back the money I borrowed?
The coastal cities in Shancheng were already occupied by the Japanese army. They even have ports there. This is nonsense.
"Fuzhou, Fuzhou has not yet been occupied by the Japanese army. How about we lease you an area of 30 kilometers around Fuzhou? That way, you can have a port to dock your ships. And that place was once the docking place of the Fujian Navy. You just need to do some simple repairs, and then you can use the port directly, right?"
Levski considered the possibility for a while, then said, "If you still want a loan from the Empire, I think you can increase your requirements a little bit."
"No problem, absolutely no problem. We can lend you tens of billions of dollars without any problem. As long as you dare to lend us money, we will take it."
No.
Levski felt something was amiss. Zhou Weiguo was a man who wouldn't suffer any loss, but now this guy had admitted it so generously. He approached Zhou Weiguo with some trepidation, "Why do I feel something is amiss?"
Zhou Weiguo opened a bottle of beer, gulped down a few sips, and nodded; "Your intuition is right."
"What...what do you want to do?" Levsky felt his head buzzing and thought Zhou Weiguo was going to play a trick, a very scary trick.
"We have no intention of paying back the money." Zhou Weiguo's shameless words made Levsky's mouth twitch.
Levsky almost jumped out of the window. He heard something. Shancheng... had no intention of paying back the money.
"No, why don't you pay back the money? Is it because you are thick-skinned or because you are capable?"
Between countries, thick skin alone cannot determine everything. The key still lies in the overall strength of a country. Shancheng does not have any advantage.
Zhou Weiguo waved his hand to signal Levsky to come over and whispered something in his ear.
Levsky's face turned pale, but he finally nodded and said, "If that's the case, you really don't have to pay back the money."
"Then let's negotiate. After all, we've paid so much, so we have to get more."
Levsky, Zhou Weiguo, and Chao Xiang Xiuling entered the study. The three of them discussed for nearly two hours before leaving.
"That's it, I'll go back and persuade them." Zhou Weiguo tucked the agreed plan under his arm and thought of something. "By the way, bring me a case of beer."
"Don't you feel ashamed? You're richer than anyone else, so why do you keep asking for things from people all the time?"
Zhou Weiguo waved his hand nonchalantly. "As long as it doesn't cost me money, I'm happy to be a shameful person."
Having never seen such a shameless person, Levsky had no choice but to ask Leah to take people to move a box of beer and a box of vodka.
Carrying today's spoils, Zhou Weiguo went directly to Fatty Kong's house in a mighty manner.
The sumptuous meal made Zhou Weiguo smile and said, "Master Kong, this is really too sumptuous."
"Of course, my treat for you can't be too shabby." After saying that, he invited the two to the table and personally poured white wine for Zhou Weiguo before asking, "How is it?"
Asaka Hideki handed the document to Fatty Kong.
Fatty Kong didn't even have time to eat. He picked up the documents and went to the window.
The more he looked, the more his hands trembled.
This aid far exceeds the plan formulated by the headquarters by several times.
This aid agreement encompassed both military and civilian sectors. For the Air Force, the agreement not only required hundreds of fighter jets, marble bombers, and bombers, but also a complete set of equipment. Furthermore, assistance was also provided for trucks and tanks. For civilian use, the agreement also included several relatively important production lines for fertilizers and tractors.
"I... am I dreaming?" Fatty Kong rubbed his eyes vigorously and walked over to Zhou Weiguo with the document and knocked on it. "There is such a good thing."
Zhou Weiguo was chewing on a chicken leg. His greasy hands made it difficult for him to pick up the documents, so he didn't look up and said, "We can get this, but we have to pay a price."
There must be a price. If there is no price, how could there be so many good things?
Fatty Kong took a deep breath and asked, "What do we need to pay?"
"Give them a 30-kilometer concession around Fuzhou, and also borrow 5 billion from them."
what……
Fatty Kong was so frightened that he dropped the documents in his hand. After a while, he squatted down and picked up the documents and said, "Is this possible?"
Zhao Xiang Xiuling glanced at Fatty Kong and laughed, "Master Kong, I'm sure you're scared. Fuzhou is just a piece of chicken ribs to us right now. If they want to take it, then let them develop it for us, build ports, docks, and artillery batteries for us. What's wrong with that?"
Fatty Kong turned his head to look at Chao Xiang Xiuling and stammered, "Is... is that the case?"
"Yes, the Japanese army in Fujian has been slow to act, forcing us to deploy several armies to guard against their attack. Rather than continue to waste time with them, it would be better to let outsiders watch over Fuzhou. We can breathe a sigh of relief and deploy those armies to where they are needed. Isn't that a good idea?"
Can it be calculated like this?
Fatty Kong looked down at the document and asked tentatively, "How long will the lease last?"
"For someone who works so hard, it will take at least 70 or 80 years."
Fatty Kong shook his head like a rattle and said, "Impossible. The headquarters won't agree to it, and neither will the two old men. It's treason. They won't agree to it."
At this point, Fatty Kong tapped the document. "And this loan, five billion, we don't even dare to borrow it. We won't be able to pay it back when the time comes."
Fatty Kong shook his head regretfully; "What a pity, what a pity."
It’s good to look at but not to eat. Fatty Kong sighed repeatedly.
Zhou Weiguo threw the chicken bones aside, then tore off the rabbit meat and ate it while saying, "You're worried that we can't afford it."
Fatty Kong nodded slightly; "Yeah, we can't afford it. We simply can't afford it."
Zhou Weiguo stuffed the meat into his mouth and chuckled, "Then I won't return it."
"What?" Fatty Kong was so shocked by Zhou Weiguo's words that he reached out to the chicken on the table. He tore off a piece of chicken and took a bite silently before looking up and asking, "You...what do you mean by that?"
Zhou Weiguo wiped his hands with the handkerchief beside him and looked towards Beisu. "We borrowed the money with our own ability, why should we pay it back?"
Fatty Kong looked at the table full of dishes, then raised his head and looked at the ceiling for a long time before saying, "I don't think we have the ability to cheat."
