At around [-]:[-] p.m., accompanied by Counselor Rodriguez, Minister Lorencino came to Fang Mingyuan's room in the Copacabana Palace Hotel with a slight disguise.
"Minister Lorencino, Counselor Rodriguez, please sit down!" Fang Mingyuan greeted them.
After Minister Lorencino took a seat opposite Fang Mingyuan, he looked Fang Mingyuan up and down carefully. Fang Mingyuan didn't say anything, and let him look him up with a smile.
"Excuse me, what should I call you? Fang? President Fang? Or Chairman Fang?" Minister Lorencino said indifferently.
Fang Mingyuan laughed dumbly and said, "Your Excellency, you can do whatever you want, just like I can call you Minister Lorencino, Your Excellency Minister, or Mr. Lorencino, of course, if I'm in a bad mood, I can call you Mr. You, Lorencino, are also possible. How about you decide on a title?"
"Chairman Fang, Rodriguez told me your thoughts truthfully. I have a doubt, and I want to ask Chairman Fang to clarify it for me." Minister Lorencino said.
"Please tell me!" Fang Mingyuan casually picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip.Although he does not have any special hobbies for coffee, since he has come to the coffee kingdom, it is a pity not to try the local specialties.
Minister Lorencino took a deep breath and said: "Chairman Fang must be very clear about the current situation in our country. To be honest with Chairman Fang, it can be said that our country is basically unable to get money from the international financial market. Loans. Moreover, no one buys our country’s bonds. Why is Chairman Fang still willing to match us for a loan?” The current situation in Argentina.Lorencino believed that anyone who was not blind and deaf could see that economic collapse could come at any moment.And in this state, Fang Mingyuan still dared to say that he was in contact with the Argentine government for a loan, either he had a big plan or he was a liar.It's impossible to be a liar, but no matter what Minister Lorencino thinks, he can't figure out what Fang Mingyuan is planning.As for the three conditions he proposed to Rodriguez.To be honest, it's nothing compared to a $15 billion loan.
Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Yes, what you said, Minister Lorencino, is indeed true. The current situation in your country can be said to be in the early stage of economic collapse. As long as your country fails to negotiate with the imf on loans, or If there is any trouble, the government of your country may only order to restrict the withdrawal of deposits by residents, control capital flow, temporarily suspend the payment of due foreign debts, and drastically cut wages and pensions and other measures?"
Minister Lorencino remained silent, but this was enough for Fang Mingyuan.
Fang Mingyuan looked directly into Minister Lorencino's eyes, and said bluntly: "Actually, these measures will not help solve the problem, but will further intensify social conflicts. Throw in a few grenades. I can tell Minister Lorencino responsibly that when you decide to do this, that is when Pandora's box will open. And by that time, it will be too late for your government to do anything! Moreover. At that time, you will face multiple shocks such as financial crisis, corporate crisis, political crisis, social crisis, and institutional crisis!"
Minister Lorencino's face changed slightly, although he said.He really didn't want to admit what Fang Mingyuan said, but his reason told him that all of this was very likely to happen.Before coming, he also collected as much information as possible about Fang Mingyuan.Due to the short time, the information that can be obtained is very messy, and many news have not been finally confirmed.But the confirmed news has already amazed Minister Lorencino.
A child from an ordinary Chinese worker's family actually created a business empire from scratch in more than ten years, not only involved in many fields, but also achieved a lot of fame in the world.Among them, Minister Lorencino paid the most attention to Fang Mingyuan's successful prediction of the Kobe Earthquake in Japan and the astonishing profits he made after purchasing nearly ten billion dollars of crude oil in Russia.
Have vision and courage, dare to take risks, and also have the capital and strength to take risks!
"Chairman Fang, don't you worry that we won't be able to repay this loan in time?" Minister Lorencino said seriously.Argentina's current financial situation can no longer be concealed from discerning people, so he simply opened up.
"Actually, as a country, as long as it really wants to repay the loan, it will eventually be able to repay it. Argentina actually has a lot of resources. Of course, these resources are not completely in the hands of the government. According to According to the law, the government has no right to use or transfer these resources, which is why you keep the treasure mountain empty, but you cannot get enough funds." Fang Mingyuan smiled.
Minister Lorencino's face darkened and said: "Chairman Fang, if your idea is to let us sell our resources..."
"If it can be sold, someone would have already sold it!" Fang Mingyuan interrupted him, "It's not my turn to say that." The Argentine government's capabilities have never been highly evaluated in the international community. Words such as inefficiency, corruption, and incompetence are often its attributives.
"What does the chairman mean?" Minister Lorencino was a little confused as to what exactly Fang Mingyuan was looking at in Argentina.
"What I mean is that your country can repay the US$15 billion with the soybeans that went on the market in [-]. If you say that your government can't do that, then...I think the leaders of your government should pay it back as soon as possible. Step down and let the virtuous." Fang Mingyuan folded his hands on his chest and said, "Now, what your government needs to do is how to convince us that your government will definitely fulfill this agreement by then."
Minister Lorencino blinked his eyes, then looked at Rodriguez, who was also dumbfounded, did he have auditory hallucinations?What Fang Mingyuan meant was that this loan was actually a payment to buy soybeans from Argentina in [-] in advance?What is his play?He is the Minister of Economy and Public Finance of Argentina, and soybeans are one of the main agricultural products of Argentina, and they are also an important commodity for Argentina's export earnings. Therefore, Minister Lorencino is quite clear about the international market of soybeans.
Today's international soybean market.The United States, Brazil and Argentina are the world's top three soybean exporters, accounting for 90.00% of global soybean exports.Huaxia, on the other hand, is the world's largest importer of soybeans, with imports exceeding 200 million tons.Among them, Argentina is expected to export more than 700 million tons of soybeans this year, of which almost 70.00% are exported to China.
Judging from the current situation, the overall international soybean market is still in a situation where supply slightly exceeds demand.Moreover, Argentina and Brazil are further expanding soybean acreage.
So, in Minister Lorencino's view.Booking Argentinian soybeans more than two years in advance seems unnecessary at all!
but!The Argentine government desperately needs this $15 billion now!Regardless of its essence, whether it is a payment for goods or a loan!
"Chairman Fang, do you mean that the Chinese government can repay the US$15 billion with soybeans worth US$15 billion in [-]?" Minister Lorencino said in a deep voice.
"No, no, to be precise, your government can use soybeans worth 75 billion US dollars to repay when the soybeans are on the market in 60. Of course, at that time, we will make up the payment of 60 billion US dollars ! If it is said that we cannot afford the subsequent payment of 15 billion U.S. dollars, the 30 billion U.S. dollars will belong to your government. And if your government cannot do this, you must return us at least 15 billion U.S. dollars!" Fang Mingyuan shook his head repeatedly and said, "Let's be honest. The [-] billion US dollars is the deposit for the contract! However, it is claimed that your government can only call it a loan. I don't think there is any need to explain why?"
Minister Lorencino suddenly realized.He understood that this time, Fang Mingyuan must have had some thoughts about the international soybean market in [-], so he took advantage of this time to reserve soybeans from Argentina!
If so, everything would make sense.
"Minister Lorencino, it seems that you have understood my intention!" Fang Mingyuan leaned on the sofa and said leisurely, "Is this condition of mine considered harsh?"
"We just need to guarantee to supply soybeans worth 75 billion US dollars to your company when the soybeans are on the market in [-]?" Minister Lorencino pondered for a moment and said.
"Hehe, of course not!" Fang Mingyuan smiled, "However, Minister, don't worry, I always pay attention to win-win in business, so my additional conditions will not make you feel disadvantaged. First, your government must ensure that the soybeans provided to us must be non-GMO soybeans! I know that the American company Monzendo is now planting genetically modified soybeans in a small area in your country. I don’t know your government’s attitude towards this. They also have no right to interfere with the decisions of your government and citizens. However, the soybeans provided to us must be non-GMO! If your government cannot guarantee this, then we can still choose Brazil.”
"What about the second?" Minister Lorencino's eyes flashed with anger, and he said noncommittally.
"Secondly, the price of soybeans must not exceed the average price of the international market in 80.00, [-], and [-]!" Fang Mingyuan said, "We can promise that the price of soybeans will not be lower than [-]% of the export price of Argentina's soybeans this year! "
Minister Lorencino thought in his mind that the export price of soybeans in the international market has fluctuated slightly in recent years.After rushing high in September this year, there is now a clear drop.At this price range, for Argentina’s soybeans, as long as there is no possibility of a sharp rise in soybean prices in 60 and [-], at least it is not a loss.Moreover, considering that this is a huge deal worth US$[-] billion, it is reasonable for the other party to ask for an appropriate price reduction.
"Then is there a third?" Minister Lorencino asked.
"Third, if both of us fulfill this contract, within three years, we have the priority to continue to purchase Argentine soybeans worth 60 billion U.S. dollars. Your country can only export after it is determined that we do not need to import. Give it to others." Fang Mingyuan said calmly, "Let me emphasize that all soybeans must be guaranteed to be non-GMO soybeans!"
"Huh?" Minister Lorencino couldn't help being shocked. Doesn't that mean that this is actually a soybean transaction with a possible total value of 240 billion US dollars.
"Chairman Fang, it seems that you don't like genetically modified soybeans very much?" Minister Lorencino looked into Fang Mingyuan's eyes and said.
Fang Mingyuan shrugged his shoulders casually and said, "Of course, I think everyone prefers pure natural things. It's like natural beauties and cosmetic beauties, do you need an explanation?"
"But as far as I know, soybeans from transgenic countries not only have high yields, but also produce more oil, are more resistant to diseases and insect pests, and are cheaper than non-transgenic soybeans." Minister Lorencino said, "These advantages are irreplaceable. Denied."
"Then why should a man care whether a woman's twin peaks are made naturally, or filled with silica gel?" Fang Mingyuan asked rhetorically. (To be continued..)
