Chapter 2905

Schneider felt that everyone's eyes were turning to him, so he took over the conversation and said: "Qian Tiandun talked to me about the issuance of war bonds, but I asked him to first obtain the executive committee's approval of the action plan before doing so.

Confirm the bond issuance plan.”

Tao Donglai was well aware of Schneider's acting style and asked with a smile: "So, you should have already considered this approach?"

Schneider said: "If Haihan Bank is to lead the bond issuance, it will take about one to two months of preparation time. During this period, a sales plan will be formulated, warm-up publicity will be carried out in advance, physical bonds will be printed, and shipped to banks in various regions.

Issuance point. From a process perspective, this is not much different from our past issuance of treasury bonds and railway construction bonds."

Ning Qi said: "But the investment objects of national bonds and railway construction bonds have stable returns, and there will not be much risk in redemption after issuance. Although we have obvious military advantages in the South China Sea, it is not possible to obtain returns from related operations.

Can it be realized in a short period of time?"

Schneider responded: "We have already evaluated this. If we purely use economic benefits as a criterion, it will take about three to five years after the completion of the operation for the benefits to slowly appear. However, it will take a long time to recover all the investment."

It will last more than ten years.”

Ning Qi continued to ask: "Listen to what you said, the yield on this bond will definitely not be high. Can we still raise enough funds?"

Schneider said: "Are you worried that such a rate of return is unattractive? In fact, as long as we want to do it, there are many ways to solve this problem. We can issue bonds under another name and avoid war, a subject that will make people more sensitive. Yes.

Large buyers willing to subscribe in large quantities were offered special benefits, which would allow them to obtain certain official positions in the new colony."

"Of course, we can also directly promise high yields to buyers, and then use the bonds issued later to fill the holes dug earlier, until the investment objects of these bonds start to make profits. This is what Qian Tiandun plans. But there will be some problems in doing so.

There are certain financial risks, so I personally do not recommend this option."

Gu Kai frowned and said, "Isn't it too explicit to provide an official position to a big buyer?"

Schneider spread his hands and said: "I am just providing a plan. How to do it will of course depend on the outcome of everyone's discussion. But I think there is nothing wrong with this. Otherwise, who will let you go to places thousands of miles away from home? You will let yourself

Are their children going to settle in remote areas and become pioneers in new colonial areas?”

Schneider said this very rudely, but it is indeed the current reality. Haihan's governance method has a detailed division of government functions, which requires a large-scale bureaucratic team to implement. But of course people with good conditions will gather together to prosper.

They travel to big cities, and those ports in the South China Sea far away from the mainland of Haihan are just transfer stations for second-generation students to gild their resumes. They often stay for a few years before being transferred back to the mainland to work.

The number of officials who actually voluntarily applied to develop and build new overseas colonial areas was far from meeting actual needs, and there were even fewer second-generation officials among them.

If personnel are not recruited through some special channels, resulting in a large number of local job vacancies, then in the future these newly opened overseas colonial areas will repeat the mistakes of the early Haihan period, which were all caused by military rule and military and political control.

The phenomenon of separatism will only increase.

The approach mentioned by Schneider has actually been implemented for a long time. During the development process of Taiwan, Sing Tao, Manila and other places, those businesses that invested huge amounts of money in the local areas, in addition to receiving preferential operating conditions

In addition, it is often accompanied by personnel appointments related to it.

Although there are differences between purchasing bonds and direct investment, in terms of the exchange condition of personnel appointment, they are actually the same in nature.

To put it nicely, this is called resource exchange, but to put it ugly, it is actually equivalent to spending money to buy officials. But this is not a one-sided profit-making. The government needs to use the interest groups behind these people to promote the development and construction of certain areas.

, and these interest groups also hope to use economic means to get their own people to be officially recruited, thereby increasing their influence. Both parties get what they need in the process.

Of course, it is impossible for these senior officials present to know nothing about this. In fact, they each have interest groups under their wings. If a suitable opportunity arises, of course they will try to take care of their own people. Gu Kai asked this question

, rather than asking Schneider to clear up his doubts, it is better to put this issue on the table and let everyone acquiesce in the rationality of this approach.

Of course, Schneider, an old fox, had already thought of the key point, and just cooperated with it. At the same time, he reminded everyone present not to look too ugly, and to leave some benefits for the people below - if they all send their own children to take advantage of it,

If not, who would be willing to spend money and effort to handle these things?

For Haihan, the plan proposed by Qian Tiandun is just a banquet that has not yet been served, and those who hope to discuss the distribution method before that, in addition to the military leaders in the South China Sea, of course also have the high-level executive committee

.

Only after these people who really hold the power of the country move their chopsticks will it be the turn of those responsible to take the food at the table.

As for the private capital that invested in the purchase of bonds, they are generally not qualified to sit at the table. At most, they are just picking up some scraps at the table, or even just fighting for the opportunity to stand at the table at the next banquet.

As for whether enough military expenditures can be raised from this channel, the Executive Committee is actually not worried. Haihan official organizations have organized private capital to invest overseas, and they have always had good returns. As long as there are new investment targets, they have already tasted

Those who enjoy the sweetness will definitely follow suit enthusiastically.

Moreover, the military expenditures for related operations are not entirely borne by the national finance. All parties in the South China Sea participating in the operation, as direct beneficiaries, will raise part of their own funds. The environment in the South China Sea also determines that it is difficult for a truly large-scale war to break out locally.

At most, they are armed conflicts in some local areas, and the consumption of military expenditures should still be controllable.

"I think this fundraising plan is feasible. Lao Shi has been a little bit more tired during this time and has to deal with the issuance of bonds. What do you think?" Tao Donglai promptly interrupted the topic by asking for opinions.

.

If the discussion continues, some details of the exchange of interests will inevitably be involved. Those present are all high-ranking officials with status, so there is no need to put those things on the table.
