Volume Four, Arms Empire, Chapter 7, Taking Advantage

Early in the morning, Pan Yunsheng came to the head of state with information.

After asking Wang Yuanqing to arrange the two afternoon meetings to Pang Xinglong and Zhao Rundong, Ji Youguo took Pan Yunsheng to the study.

"This is the information you want."

"Let me introduce the general situation first." Ji Youguo said to Pan Yunsheng while preparing tea.

"There are seven people who attacked the Japanese financial market with +Yanbo. In addition to Ye Yongji, you have seen Long Yuteng and Gong Shutao in the United States."

Ji Youguo nodded and brought the teacup over.

"Li Chengwen is an Italian Chinese, and his personal assets are definitely not inferior to Yanbo. He is the strongest among the few people. In addition to his status as a businessman, he is also the leader of the European Chinese community and has close contacts with the Taiwan Qing Gang. In recent years, he has been competing for territory with the Italian family."

"What's going on?" Ji Youguo frowned slightly.

"It's not very big, it's that anyway." Pan Yunsheng shook his head with a smile, "There is no problem other than that. His thoughts are traditional and his beliefs are firm. In the past few years, in order to help an international student win a lawsuit, he not only personally called for fundraising, but also put pressure on the Italian judicial department, and finally made the court convict the defendant. What's more, Li Chengwen never lets go of any enemy. He heard that the forced rapist was in a very miserable situation in prison and had attempted suicide several times."

"A ruthless guy can still play a role if he uses it properly."

"We have seen so many people like this."

Ji Youguo smiled and shook his head. He said, "Where are other places?"

"You Mingjun is an Australian Chinese. He owns several mines. He cooperated with domestic steel companies a few years ago. He was not well-managed in the past few years and was almost acquired by Rio Tinto. He has been very close to Li Chengwen recently. He probably wants to use Li Chengwen's relationship to clear business obstacles."

"Nothing else?"

"The strength is very average. Among them, it is the weakest one." Pan Yunsheng paused for a moment and said. "There is another German-Chinese named Zhang Wanniandi and a Singaporean businessman named Li Yucheng. After withdrawing investment from Japan, the two did not participate in the domestic financial defense war. They have separated from + Yanbo and others."

"How is the situation in Yeyongji?"

"I have returned to China and applied for my country's nationality last month. The disclosed personal assets are still in the United States, and the business is managed by his younger brother Ye Yongqing. Compared to the undisclosed personal assets, it is nothing. Now, he mainly cooperates with + Yanbo and Li Chengwen. In October last year, he jointly established the "Huasheng Group" and acquired more than a dozen real estate companies in bankruptcy and on the verge of bankruptcy, which solved a lot of trouble for the government. Premier Pang should have reported this matter to you."

"I said it, I heard that the scale is very large."

"It's really big. Three people each invested hundreds of billions of yuan. Now they are the number one real estate development company in the country." Pan Yunsheng smiled and said, "Yesterday, Huasheng once again played a price reduction card. I'm afraid that dozens of real estate companies will declare bankrupt this month. If this speed continues, the national real estate market will be reshuffled in less than a year."

"This is a good thing. If the house is sold cheaply, the people will benefit."

"You can't see that either."

Ji Youguo frowned slightly and looked at Pan Yunsheng.

"Pang Xinglong talked to me and said that the land policy adjustment is about to be implemented. If + Yanbo and others increase their investment, they are afraid that they will not have enough funds."

"Pang Xinglong is not worried about this." Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said, "He is afraid that Huasheng will become a big shot and monopolize the real estate industry. First of all, it depends on whether + Yanbo and others have so much funds. Secondly, the government has a way to deal with them. Although I don't think + Yanbo will fight against the government, as long as Huasheng's one dominant family, the government can use the Anti-Monopoly Law to split Huasheng."

"I also think Premier Pang is a little overwhelmed."

"This is a trivial matter. What other things have they done?"

"Last month, the 'Love Me China Fund' was established to provide tuition and living expenses to the children of fallen soldiers and provide living security and employment assistance to disabled soldiers.

The fund was established in the name of + Mu Hua, including Long Yuteng and others, and a total of more than 50 billion were donated."

"So much?" Ji Youguo's brow jumped a few times.

"For them, it can only be considered a drop in the bucket." Pan Yunsheng smiled, "At that time, Pang Xinglong asked me to investigate the situation."

"Why?"

"I heard that + Yanbo hopes that the government can modify relevant administrative regulations and lower the threshold for charitable funds."

Ji Youguo hesitated for a moment and said, "I remember that Pang Xinglong mentioned this matter to me at that time. He said that according to the current regulations, charitable funds must donate 80% of the fundraising funds to the public every year to be tax-free, while foreign practices are to only donate 7% per year to be tax-free."

"It's probably that's the case."

"I have asked Pang Xinglong to adjust the relevant administrative regulations, and the results will be achieved in almost the next few days."

"It's better to ask clearly."

Ji Youguo nodded, called Wang Yuanqing in, and asked the secretary to ask Pang Xinglong.

"Other than that, they haven't made much move lately."

"You guess, how much money do they have?"

Pan Yunsheng

Shocked, he said, "First of the People, you are ready..."

"I'm just thinking about it." Ji Youguo smiled, "I don't know the situation yet and haven't made a decision."

"I guess, they said there are not 800 billion, and there are 700 billion."

"so much?"

"Or dollars!"

"What!?" Ji Youguo almost jumped up from the stool.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Pan Yunsheng glanced at the head of state, "They invested about 250 billion US dollars in the Japanese market, and they had to make several rounds of struggles. The most conservative estimates were doubled. After returning to China, they invested all the funds in the financial defense battle, at least twice. Apart from Zhang Wannian and Li Yucheng, the other six people's funds will not be less than 1200 billion yuan, and most of them stay in the country. It is strange that they don't have 700 billion yuan in their hands after the capital, paying interest to banks, and setting up companies and charitable funds."

"I didn't expect that they actually made so much."

"So, the Prime Minister's concerns are not without reasons."

Ji Youguo nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, the wealth will not flow to outsiders' fields, and we just need this fund now.



"I'm afraid it's not enough."

Ji Youguo was stunned for a moment and looked at Pan Yunsheng inquiring.

"Old Ji, I don't understand what you think?" Pan Yunsheng smiled and said, "I thought to you when you mentioned this last night that you must be planning to use them to sell arms to Iran."

"Is that true?" Ji Youguo also laughed.

"The United States will attack Iran in order to spend money. We can't spend money indiscriminately now, but we are also sting at a slight sting. In this case, we cannot provide Iran with free lunch like last year... the year before... to Pakistan, and even let Iran pay for the purchase of arms in time. We know very well how much capital Iran has. If Iran is rich, will it still ask for assistance everywhere. Will I ask for sympathy?"

Ji Youguo smiled and signaled Pan Yunsheng to continue talking.

"After a cannon fire, there will be tens of taels of gold. Even if Iran sells its pot and buys arms by selling national resources, whether it is us or Russia, they will think twice. Even if the country has money, it should be used to the blade. Wait until Iran rebuilds after the war, instead of smashing it in advance. In this way, it is necessary to find a third party, that is, the middleman, to reach an agreement with Iran to advance the purchase of arms for Iran by obtaining the right to exploit oil and gas fields. There will be no more than fifty people in the world who have the ability to do this, and we can only find six of them + Yanbo and the others."

"It seems that you think of everything."

Pan Yunsheng smiled, not feeling proud. "I think it's still a bit uneasy. First of all, + Yanbo and others are willing to take risks for the country. If Iran loses, they will not even afford a huge amount of money they invest. Secondly, whether their land funds are enough, if not enough, the country will have to pay for it in the end."

"I thought about these two issues you said all night." Ji Youguo touched his chin and said, "The previous problem is easy to solve. Even if others have doubts, there is no problem + Yanbo. If they can give them some benefits, Ye Yongji and Li Chengwen will agree. As long as they three express their opinions, the other three are not very big. The latter problem has not yet been solved. If it really doesn't work, the country can only pay for it."

"In this case, it's best to discuss with Lao Zhao and the Prime Minister."

Ji Youguo nodded. "We must discuss with them, but we will talk about it after we understand the attitude of + Yanbo and others."

Pan Yunsheng sighed secretly, this is the style of Ji You.

It would be a surefire to negotiate with + Yanbo and others, and there was nothing to discuss. At that time, Pang Xinglong would do it only to solve the problem for Ji Youguo, rather than discussing strategies with Ji Youguo.

"Actually, we have no choice now." Ji Youguo seemed to see Pan Yunsheng's thoughts and said, "If we are involved in the US-Iran war, the consequences will be unimaginable. In less than two years, two regional wars, especially the East China Sea war, have greatly damaged our vitality. Not to mention, the air force and naval aviation will take several years to recover. Military reform, industrial structure adjustment, and government reform have forced us to focus on the domestic and try to cause less trouble. However, we cannot let Iran be defeated. If Iran loses its war, all our previous efforts will be in vain. Not only will we lose our voice in the Middle East, but we will be surrounded and suppressed by the United States again. It is precisely because the United States is interested in this that it will attack Iran during the financial crisis. What we can do is to support Iran as much as possible and minimize the impact of the war on domestic development."

Pan Yunsheng nodded, and he had long thought of these situations.

"Do you feel helpless and unable?" Ji Youguo patted Pan Yunsheng's shoulder and said with a smile, "No matter how big the difficulties are, they will be defeated by us, and I believe this time is no exception."

"Lao Ji, many times, I really admire your optimistic attitude."

"Is that so? Then learn a little."

Both of them laughed, and Pan Yunsheng's mood also relaxed a lot.
