Chapter 32: Everyone's Responsibility

.After receiving a call from Kim Seung-hwan, Fu Xiubo agreed without thinking.

Before signing the agreement, Park Joon-cheol made a request: after the war, North Korea transferred the right to use military bases and obtained reconstruction funds from China, while China provided North Korea with equal trade compensation.

The key is not to exchange military bases for reconstruction funds, but to trade compensation.

This requirement is enough to prove that Park Joon-chul only understands diplomacy and does not understand economics.

Trade compensation seems to have taken advantage, but trade itself is mutually beneficial. After the war, North Korea was in trouble and had business opportunities. Without government guidance, China's private capital would also pour into North Korea. At that time, the central government will at most let state-owned enterprises focus more on North Korea in terms of resource imports, overseas investment, etc.

When Kim Seung-hwan signed the agreement with Park Jun-chul, Fu Xiubo called Huang Zhibo.

Because the personnel were not fully in place, the combat headquarters of the Aid Korea aid was not officially started yet. It was no longer possible to delay it. Fu Xiubo issued an order: to let the Air Force participate in the war as soon as possible.

Huang Zhibo made a clear reply: Within twelve hours, the first air force will enter North Korea to fight.

After arranging this, the VIP invited by Fu Xiubo also arrived.

Among the nine VIPs, the leader was Sheng Shiping, who returned from Taiwan three days ago. The other eight were also famous business tycoons in China.

Fu Xiubo invited them to solve the urgent problem: war funds.

In name, North Korea paid for the war. In fact, China had to pay for it before winning.

"Before you come here, I just received the news that North Korean Supreme Commander Park Jun-cheol had signed the agreement to mortgage state-owned assets." Fu Xiubo smiled and said in a remark, "According to this agreement, we will provide guarantees for North Korea and provide war financing by banks and other financial institutions."

Sheng Shiping and others listened carefully, but no one was in a hurry to speak.

"Within 24 hours, several state-owned banks will issue the first war loan of about 150 billion yuan." Fu Xiubo knew that these people were smart and had a very good control of the scale of words. "The problem now is that we cannot predict when and in what way the war will end, and we cannot accurately estimate the war expenses. If it is less than ten trillion yuan, the problem is not very big. If it exceeds this number, the problem will be very serious."

"The Head of State is right, it is indeed very serious. Not to mention ten trillion, more than five trillion, it will cause disasters." Sheng Shiping took the lead and said, "From the timing, this war came very inappropriate. Although our problem is not big in terms of materials. War can consume a large amount of excess materials, allowing many factories on the verge of bankruptcy to obtain orders and allow more people to obtain jobs, but huge war expenses will have a large part of the market in the form of wages, welfare, etc., while the total amount of goods in the market is decreasing, which will inevitably lead to severe inflation. In the short term, the impact is still within the control of the government. But in the long run, if the excess capital flows into the areas of life and production closely related to the people, leading to an increase in the cost of living, even if the war is won, it will not make much sense."

Sheng Shiping said this very politely.

Everyone knows that if the price of living rises sharply in the short term, such as within a few months, it will inevitably affect most of the citizens and even make many people unable to afford to eat. The result is obvious that China will lose its own way before winning the war.

"What the head of state means is, let us take back the money?" The second one was Ren Yijun, chairman of Huaqiang Group.

Among the nine business tycoons, Ren Yijun has the least assets but is most respected because he is the only rich man who has no background and makes his fortune entirely by his personal ability.

More than 20 years ago, before Ren Yijun founded Huaqiang Group, he was just an ordinary employee of a state-owned enterprise, with a monthly salary of only more than 30 yuan. With the accumulated 500 yuan, Ren Yijun founded China's first private high-tech enterprise. Because it was not listed, it was impossible to accurately calculate the asset scale of Huaqiang Group. There is only one thing that is certain that as the number one private high-tech enterprise in China, as long as Ren Yijun asked Huaqiang Group to go public on the Nasdaq, his net worth could exceed 30 billion US dollars overnight and become the nominal richest man in China.

"Of course not. If you do this, you will dig your own flesh and replenish others' sores." Fu Xiubo said with a smile, "Our soldiers are already very kind to sacrifice for North Korea. There is no reason to let our entrepreneurs pay for the Korean War."

After Fu Xiubo said this, the nine giant merchants breathed a sigh of relief.

Asking them to hold the money sent by the government in their hands is equivalent to letting their assets depreciate in inflation and paying for the Korean War.

"My idea is that if you have money, everyone will make money, and we must not let our entrepreneurs suffer."

"How to make money?" This time the person who spoke was Du Xiaoran, chairman of Hushen Group, who was also the only woman among the nine giant businesses.

Compared to Ren Yijun, Du Xiaoran obviously lacks recognition. It has nothing to do with her gender, but with her history of making a fortune. Before founding Hushen Group, Du Xiaoran was the head of a state-owned enterprise, and her father was a provincial and ministerial-level official. She was able to obtain tens of billions of loans from the bank and built Hushen Group into the largest home appliance chain dealer in just five years. Du Xiaoran's family background played a crucial role.

“War Financing.”

Hearing this sentence, Sheng Shiping's brow jumped a few times and said, "What the Head of State means is, let us provide war funds to North Korea?"

Fu Xiubo nodded and said, "The central government guarantees that North Korea's state-owned assets will be used as collateral. You provide funds for purchasing weapons and equipment. After the war, you will obtain the right to develop, mine and use North Korea's state-owned assets. At that time, the central government guarantees you and obtains investment loans from banks."

Sheng Shiping nodded thoughtfully. This is indeed a profitable transaction, but there must be a prerequisite.

"Head of the People's Republic of China, I don't doubt anything," said the fourth person, Zhao Deliang, chairman of Jinyuan Group. "If we lose this war, will our investment be wasted?"

Zhao Deliang is a pure businessman who runs the largest private resource mining enterprise in China. He has a great influence because his other identity is the president of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, which controls more than 60% of private resource mining enterprises. Taking advantage of the rapid growth in the resource mining field in recent years, the total assets of more than 1,000 members of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce exceeded 2 trillion yuan, second only to the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce, which is famous for its wealth.

"I know, this is the most concerned issue for you, and it is also a question that I must explain clearly." Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "I don't want to explain too much about whether we can win, because we can't afford to lose, we must win, and we must win. Since President Zhao mentioned this issue, I might as well make an assumption, what will happen if we lose this war?"

The atmosphere suddenly became serious because Fu Xiubo's tone was very serious.

"For you, it may not have a big impact." Fu Xiubo glanced at Zhao Deliang and said, "President Zhao is applying for a permanent residence permit in the UK? If I remember correctly, three years ago, your three children had already obtained the EU blue card. Are they still used to living abroad?"

Zhao Deliang's facial muscles twitched a few times, and his expression seemed a little awkward.

"Of course, nationality cannot be said. As long as you agree with your own nation, you are the descendants of Yan and Huang. Here, Mr. Sheng is the most representative." Fu Xiubo nodded to Sheng Shiping and said, "What I want to say is that if we lose, our nation will lose. The history of more than a hundred years ago is very clear. Only when the country is strong and the nation is strong can we raise our heads and be human beings. This is not a war in Korea, nor a war for soldiers, but a war for all of us, a war for all of Yan and Huang! In name, we are protecting North Korea, using our army, our resources, and all of our help to friendly neighbors, but in fact, aren't we defending ourselves? If we are indifferent and let North Korea fend for itself, you will definitely scold me and say that I am a cowardly commander. Now, I have stood up and made the decision to send troops. What are you still doubting?"

Zhao Deliang felt ashamed of this.

It’s nothing to be prosperous, his American identity has long been there.

"We must doubt, but we should not doubt victory, but we should doubt what we can gain from victory. The interests of the country and the nation are above everything else. Only when all of us are fighting for the nation can the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation be just around the corner. Foreigners often say that we are a Chinese person, a group of Chinese people are a group of insects. The best way to fight back is not in our mouths, but by actions, telling all those who despise us. A group of Chinese people is an extremely powerful Chinese dragon!" Fu Xiubo paused for a moment and said, "I will not ask you to do anything, nor will I force you to do anything, because your money is earned hard and can be taken to the sun. What I want to tell you is a saying by Mr. Gu Yanwu in the late Ming Dynasty, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"

"Head of the People's Republic of China, you are so serious. We are willing to come here because we want to make some contribution to the country." Sheng Shiping came out to smooth things out at the right time, "just in specific operations..."

"Mr. Sheng, can you trust me?"

Sheng Shiping nodded immediately. If he couldn't believe Fu Xiubo, he wouldn't have come to the head of state.

"So, please give me some time, as soon as one or two days, as late as one week." Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "When Vice Premier Li comes back, I will ask him to give you a detailed introduction. Patriotism is not a unilateral obligation. I can guarantee that I will give you a satisfactory reply."

The head of state has made a guarantee, what else can I say?

As for whether he has a satisfactory reply, he still has to wait until Li Pingko comes back to find out.

When Sheng Shiping and others left the head of state, the first squadron of the First Amphibious Special Forces led by Mu Haoyang and Pang Yuelong arrived at the Marine Island south of the Liaodong Peninsula.

It is less than 300 kilometers away from Pyongyang.

Because it has always been a military zone and has not been affected by the tourism wave, the environment on the island is very well protected, which is simply a paradise.

But the atmosphere on the island is not peaceful, because there are fully armed soldiers everywhere.
