Schneider felt that everyone's eyes were shifted to him, so he took over the conversation and said: "Qian Tiandun talked to me about issuing war bonds, but I asked him to win the approval of the executive committee for the action plan before proceeding." Confirm the bond issuance plan."
Tao Donglai was well aware of Schneider's behavior style, and asked with a smile: "So, you should have considered this approach?"
Schneider said: "If Haihan Bank leads the bond issuance, it will take about one to two months of preparation time. During this period, a sales plan will be formulated, pre-heated publicity will be carried out in advance, and the physical bonds will be printed and shipped to banks in various regions. The point of issuance. In terms of process, 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 too much risk in redemption after issuance. Although we have obvious military advantages in the South China Sea, it may not be possible to obtain benefits from related operations. Can it be done in a short time?"
Schneider responded: "We have already evaluated this. If we simply use economic benefits as a measure, it will take three to five years after the completion of the action before the benefits will gradually appear. However, to recover all the investment, the cycle may It will last more than ten years."
Ning Qi continued to ask: "Listening to what you said, then the yield of this bond must not be high. Can this 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 in another name and avoid war, which will make the public more sensitive. Yes Special favors were offered to those large buyers who were willing to subscribe in large quantities, enabling them to secure certain official positions in the new colonies."
"Of course, we can also directly promise high yields to buyers, and then use later issued bonds to fill in the holes dug earlier until the investment objects of these bonds start to make profits. This is Qian Tiandun's plan. But there will be risks in doing so. Certain financial risks, 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'm just offering a plan. How to do it, of course, depends on the results of everyone's discussions. But I don't think there is anything wrong with doing this. Otherwise, who will let those places thousands of miles away from the mainland? You will let yourself Do the children of the country go to settle in those backwaters, to be the pioneers of the new colonies?"
Schneider said this very bluntly, but it is indeed the current situation.Haihan's governance method has a detailed division of government functions, which requires a large-scale bureaucratic team to realize.But people with good conditions will of course gather together to run to the prosperous big cities, and those South China Sea ports far away from the mainland of Haihan are just transfer stations for the second-generation children to gild their resumes, and they will often be transferred back to the mainland after a few years. serve.
The number of officials who really voluntarily applied for the development and construction of overseas new colonial areas is far from meeting the actual needs, and the number of second-generation children among them is even less.
If personnel are not recruited through some special channels, resulting in a large number of job vacancies in the local area, then these newly opened overseas colonial areas will repeat the mistakes of the early Haihan, all of which are ruled by the military and the military and government seize it. Fragmentation will only increase.
The approach mentioned by Schneider has already been implemented.In the development process of Taiwan, Xingdao, Manila and other places, those merchants who have invested huge sums of money in the local area, in addition to obtaining preferential operating conditions, are often accompanied by related personnel appointments.
Although there are differences between purchasing bonds and direct investment, they are actually the same in nature in terms of the exchange condition of personnel appointment.
To put it nicely, this is called resource exchange, but to put it bluntly, it is actually the same as spending money to buy officials.But this is not a one-sided profit. The government needs to use the interest groups behind these people to drive the development and construction of certain areas, and these interest groups also hope to use economic means to get their own official staff and increase their own influence. In this process, both parties take what they need.
Of course, it is impossible for the high-ranking officials present to be ignorant of this. In fact, each of them also has an interest group under their wings. When a suitable opportunity arises, they will of course try to take care of their own people.When Gu Kai asked this question, it was not so much to clear up Schneider's doubts, but rather to put this question on the table and let everyone acquiesce in the rationality of this approach.
Of course, the old fox Schneider had already thought of the key point, and just cooperated with it. At the same time, he reminded everyone present not to eat too ugly, and set aside some benefits for those who work below—if they all send their own children to take advantage of the benefits Who would be willing to spend money and effort to take care of these things.
For Haihan, the plan proposed by Qian Tiandun is a banquet that has not yet started serving, and those who hope to discuss the distribution method before that, besides the military leaders in the South China Sea, of course, there is also the high-ranking executive committee .
Only after these people who really hold the power of the country move their chopsticks will it be the turn of those who are responsible for serving the dishes on the table.
As for the private capital that contributed to the purchase of bonds, they are probably not eligible to be on the table.At most, they are just picking up some leftovers at the table, and they may even just fight for the chance to stand at the table when the next banquet is held.
As for whether enough military expenses can be raised from this channel, the Executive Committee is actually not worried.Haihan officially organizes private capital to invest overseas, and has always had good returns.As long as there are new investment goals, those who have already tasted the sweetness will definitely follow up enthusiastically.
Moreover, the military expenditures for related operations are not entirely borne by the state finances. As direct beneficiaries, all parties involved in the operations in the South China Sea will raise part of their own funds.The environment in the South China Sea also determines that it is difficult to break out a large-scale war in the local sense. At most, it is an armed conflict in some local areas. The consumption of military expenditure should still be controllable.
"I think this fundraising plan is feasible. Lao Shi will be a little bit more tired during this period, and he will handle the matter of issuing bonds. What do you think?" Tao Donglai interrupted this topic in a timely manner by asking for opinions .
Going further, it must involve some details of the exchange of interests.Those present were all high-ranking officials with status, so there was no need to put those things on the table.
