Chapter 720 Interest-free Loan

Ding Huiqiang saw that Li Mo was meditating and did not urge him. Instead, he picked up a piece of watermelon in the fruit plate and took a mouthful of sweetness. If he had nothing to do, he would hide in the shade of the tree on a hot day and eat fruit and hum a little song.

Suddenly, Li Mo's expression relaxed, and he also picked up a piece of watermelon and took a big bite.

"What? Have you figured it out? Ding Huiqiang sneered and said, "You also understand the domestic meaning. The rise in international oil prices is not good for you and others, but it is good for the oil tycoons. Once this matter is not done well, it will be a disaster.

Li Mo nodded and said, "I didn't expect that the oil princes in Saudi Arabia would have such an idea. It's not a good thing to think about making a fortune at this time!"

Hearing Li Mo say this, Ding Huiqiang laughed and said, "Yes, it's not a good thing. These countries are also lucky. Although most of the land is desert, there is black gold below. Otherwise, how can this group of upstarts have any status in the world? Don't say you dare to stretch out your hand!"

"In upstarts? Now I just want to suddenly become an upstart. I don't have any spare food. It's really uncomfortable!" Li Mo smiled and said meaningfully.

The purpose of Huaxia's disclosure of so much intelligence is nothing more than to dispel the idea of creating conflicts and counterattacks at the border, so that the conspiracy of Saudi oil tycoons hiding behind the scenes cannot be realized. International oil prices have little to do with Somalia, but they have a lot to do with China. In the past two years, China's annual oil imports are 200 million tons, almost 14 billion barrels. The international oil price has not risen by one dollar, and China will pay an extra 14 billion US dollars for this. With the increase of China's demand for oil resources, the import volume is bound to increase in the next few years, not a few percent increase, but a double increase, oil prices have risen sharply, and Huaxia pays more and more.

involving hundreds or even hundreds of billions of dollars, it is impossible for Huaxia Zheng Axe not to pay attention to it, and it is impossible not to stop it.

And the source of this matter is not Saudi Arabia, which is a major oil country that is fueling the flames behind it, but Somalia and Ethiopia.

From Huaxia's intelligence, it has been concluded that Li Mo is now close to several major oil exporters in the world. Once these people unite, it will be too harmful to control global oil prices.

At this time, Huaxia must stop Li Mo, and it is certain that Huaxia must pay a certain price for this.

This is the relationship between countries. If you ask for me, you have to pay for benefits.

And the potential meaning of Li Mo's words is here.

Ding Huiqiang must have received hints from China before he came here. He was not surprised to hear Li Mo's words. He also knows Li Mo's surname, and it is also helpful for general matters. When it involves this kind of thing, it is not beneficial to care about the fundamental interests of the body. It is impossible for Li Mo to give up.

In fact, Huaxia Zheng Axe has a good idea. Li Mo is really going to take the opportunity to take back the Ogaden area this time. Although experts from many countries have investigated that there is no oil there, Li Mo always feels that the hole may not come. Even if the Ogaden War was a conspiracy of the former Soviet Union, there was no need to use oil as an excuse. Because as we all know, Somalia is an oil-poor country, and the Ogaden region does not necessarily have oil. This excuse is too unreasonable.

In the final analysis, even if there is no oil in the Ogaden area, it is still 20,000 square kilometers of land, and there is no reason for people to occupy it in vain. Judging from the map, the Ogaden region is also very important to Somalia, and it is the best to get it.

It's just that Li Mo also has to consider Huaxia's idea. Of course, he can't help it. If it really doesn't work, just contact several major oil-exporting countries in Iran to suppress oil prices by increasing oil production by these oil-exporting countries. What Saudi Arabia can do is that these countries whose oil reserves add up to Saudi Arabia can also do.

But Li Mo thought about it and felt that it was still unnecessary. If he could get more support from Huaxia through this matter, it would also be good for Li Mo now. After all, there is no war if there is no war. Although the African lion is old, there is a saying that a thin camel is bigger than a horse. If Somalia wants to safely retake the Ogaden region, it will also pay a great price.

In addition, Li Mo didn't want to really break out the Second East Africa War and give an excuse for foreign forces to intervene.

"What ideas do you have to put forward? In order to make up for your losses this time, China will definitely meet some of your reasonable suggestions." Ding Huiqiang is always a soldier, and he doesn't have a corner to say anything.

Li Mo's eyes immediately glowed, and his mind also rotated sharply to analyze what he needed now.

When Ding Huiqiang saw Li Mo's expression, his scalp was numb. Fortunately, no matter what Li Mo asked, he did not need him to make a decision. At that time, he just needed to report it.

"Loan, I want Huaxia to provide me with a large interest-free loan." Li Mo thought for a while and felt that he was still the most short of money.

Ding Huiqiang was surprised by this order. He thought that Li Mo wanted some military technology and expert support, but he didn't expect that he wanted money, and it was an interest-free loan. At this time, Ding Huiqiang did not consider what Li Mo said about 'large loans'.

"How much loan do you want?" Ding Huiqiang, who breathed a sigh of relief, ate a mouthful of watermelon and asked casually. He thought that this task was probably the easiest to answer.

"Well... let's take 5 billion first." Li Mo meditated and reported a number.

"Poo... how much?" Ding Huiqiang's eyes stared at the boss when he heard the words, and the melon that he had not had time to swallow was also sprayed out by him. He looked at Li Mo and asked incredulously.

Li Mo seemed to blink innocently and repeated, "5 billion dollars!"

"Cough... Li Mo, don't joke, okay?" Ding Huiqiang thought that Li Mo was looking for fun with him, otherwise he would not have opened his mouth to pay back 5 billion dollars.

Li Mo said, "This is not a joke. I hope Huaxia can provide a $5 billion interest-free loan for Somalia and repay it in 10 years."

Ding Huiqiang didn't even eat the watermelon now. He wiped his mouth and repeated it, "Do you want an interest-free loan of 5 billion US dollars to be repaid in 10 years?"

Seeing Li Mo nod, Ding Huiqiang rolled his eyes and gave a thumbs up and said, "You can do it. I've seen a lion open his mouth. I've never seen you have such a big appetite."

"Hehe, this number is very large for Somalia, but for China, it is a small number, not to mention the foreign exchange reserves of two trillion yuan, that is, the number of China's annual foreign aid, I don't know this number. The $5 billion seems to be a lot, but it doesn't use much in practice. Li Mo explained with a smile.

Ding Huiqiang was speechless and sighed, "I don't care. Anyway, I just need to report your requirements. How exactly is it? I'm still waiting for the domestic meaning. I think you can ask Zheng Axe to make a formal loan document."

No matter how much Huaxia has a personal relationship with Li Mo, it is impossible to lend Li Mo 5 billion US dollars casually, which is still the kind of interest-free.

After Ding Huiqiang left, Liu Qingyue and Li Yanran, who were not far away, came over with the child in their arms. Little Li Chen was about two years old. When he was active, he had been waiting impatiently there for a long time. At this moment, he came over and immediately got out of his mother and rushed into Li Mo's legs with small steps.

"Dad...Dad hug..." Li Mo laughed, picked up his son and kissed his pink face, and then put it on his lap.

After Li Yanran came over, she also sent her daughter into Li Mo's arms, and then sat with Liu Qingyue and ate the fruit.

One big, two and three pairs of eyes here looked at it, and finally they all laughed.

"Honey, I'm going to lend $5 billion to Huaxia, interest-free. Huaxia should not refuse, not to mention our loan in the name of the country, even myself, it is worth 5 billion US dollars. At that time, you two should manage the money well.

Liu Qingyue's current position is the deputy general manager in charge of airline finance, but she basically takes care of her son at home and has not gone to work for the time being. And Li Yanran, Li Mo intends to let her serve as the financial manager of the group's head office. In the part of the army, hurry up by yourself, and in terms of finance, you naturally need to be managed by your wife. Although the two are not serious finance majors, modern financial management does not need to be very good. As long as you manage your subordinates well, and both of them have college diplomas, and you can learn if you don't understand.

Star Group is different from ordinary commercial companies. Those who dare to reach out indiscriminately in such a semi-public and semi-private arms company must have the awareness of being hunted down, and they are by no means waiting for Interpol to be wanted.

The two women exclaimed when they heard the words. In the past two years, they have also been involved in a large amount of money. Hundreds of billions of dollars have never happened, but the surname is 5 billion US dollars at a time, which is the first time.

"How are you going to use the money?" The two women believed that since Li Mo was so sure, they took it seriously and immediately asked how the money was used.

"In addition to investing in airlines and special machinery manufacturing companies, I'm going to spend a sum of money to repair the railway."

Li Mo planned to build a railway in Somalia very early, but there was a lack of funds, but a lack of technology and manpower. In the past, his foundation in Somalia was still unstable. What he wanted at any time was to expand his strength and ensure that he would not be expelled in Somalia. At that time, even if he was intentional to build a railway, he would not do it. Once he was driven away, wouldn't the railway built be cheaper for others?

Now that there are no concerns in this regard, he plans to complete the plan.

"I plan to connect Badada Town Industrial Park, Baidoa City Industrial Park and Mogadishu to form a triangular railway transport circle. If I have enough funds in the future, I will also prepare to repair the railway to the Somaliland region. I feel that the current road transportation has become more and more unsuitable to meet the requirements of several regions. It's okay to say that those goods in high demand are too expensive without railway transportation, and with the railway, I control the whole country. There are also benefits everywhere, which is convenient for the mobilization of the army.
