Chapter 2023: Chapter 1846: Seeking Good Fortune from the American Empire Do what. Become what. Especially in some high-risk industries, theoretically, the success rate is only about twenty percent, such as Civilization, Epoch, Time, and various application-led innovations. Once. It’s luck. Twice. It can also be luck. Three times. ... Five times. ... That’s not luck anymore, it’s fate. Although elusive, sometimes it’s hard not to think about it. Well, Tang Qing’s fate is also Huaxia’s fate. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚 ... Lakeside Villa. "How is it?" Seeing Tang Qing return, Ma Yun quickly asked. "Good news." "Oh?" "Domestic banks should solve Hummingbird’s twenty billion RMB loan." Tang Qing smiled. This money is not entirely for Hummingbird’s construction costs, some of it is to invest in Ali. As per the contract. This time. Ali’s overseas subsidiaries have multiple shareholders, among which the combined equity of Hummingbird and Ali must achieve control, with Hummingbird not interfering in Ali’s operations, and voting rights also belong to Ali. In this way. Hummingbird needs to come up with nearly four billion RMB. That’s not much. "That’s great." Ma Yun said happily. Now. It’s heard that Hummingbird is negotiating with a Myanmar Asia Investment Company, and after the equity cooperation is discussed, they are discussing loan issues. This is not entirely smooth because the other party has some additional requirements. Now. If the domestic can solve the two hundred billion, then it won’t be so passive, and at the same time, there’s envy as well, domestically, which private enterprise can easily obtain hundreds of billions in loans from major banks. Counting it. Hummingbird’s debt will soon exceed eighty billion. "..." This number. Thinking about it makes one shudder. With Hummingbird’s blood-making ability, it can’t be repaid in ten years, because the current state isn’t everything. Thirty-nine isn’t the entirety of Hummingbird’s future blueprint. Therefore. Continuous investment is a problem Hummingbird cannot avoid. ... In the afternoon. At the opening ceremony, guests gathered. As usual, after the host’s welcome, important guest speeches followed. Tang Qing didn’t need to go on stage; he would appear at the special meeting. --- Building a post-crisis world. This time’s theme. The host is various countries. Who takes the stage isn’t based on fame, but on relevance to the theme. The host needs to ensure the forum’s professionalism, not deviate. Banks. Political figures. Only they fit this theme. "The year 2009, Year of the Ox. In Huaxia, the Year of the Ox symbolizes diligence, dedication, and prosperity. I sincerely wish that in this Year of the Ox, our world can recover and develop economically, and that people can live happy and prosperous lives." "The causes of this crisis are manifold." "..." "Related economic entities’ macroeconomic policies are inappropriate, the long-term model of low savings and high consumption is unsustainable; financial institutions’ one-sided pursuit of profit leads to overexpansion; financial and rating institutions lack self-discipline." "..." "The distortion of risk information and asset pricing, the imbalance between financial regulatory capacity and financial innovation, and the continuous accumulation and spread of financial derivatives risks. ’A fall into the pit, a gain in wisdom.’ "..." "We must earnestly learn lessons from these, correctly handle the relationship between savings and consumption, financial innovation and financial regulation, virtual economy and real economy." "From the root, find a way to resolve the crisis." "..." "Frankly speaking, this crisis has also caused a significant impact on Huaxia’s economy; we are facing severe challenges. Mainly: external demand has significantly contracted, some industries are overcapacity." "Enterprises face production and operational difficulties, town unemployment is increasing, and the pressure of economic downtrend is becoming more evident." "..." "As a responsible great power, Huaxia has adopted a positive and responsible attitude during the crisis. We take the expansion of domestic effective demand, especially consumption demand, as the basic starting point to promote economic growth." "..." The hall. Was filled with Huaxia voices. In the audience. Tang Qing listened intently. Compared to his previous life, this year’s situation in Huaxia is much better. First, there was no earthquake in Chuan Province, avoiding casualties of over a hundred thousand. Secondly. Successfully hosted the Olympics. Thirdly. The loan to the Myanmar Asia Chamber of Commerce at the end of last year flowed into Huaxia in large amounts, reviving many companies. Commodity and project loans also support many enterprises, so the crisis’s impact was relatively minimal. Starting next year. As the Hummingbird and Africa plans progress to a certain extent, they will further stimulate domestic manufacturing. For the next ten years, Tang Qing has a way to ensure that Huaxia’s manufacturing industry won’t lack business. "Snort!" Glancing around. This year. The United States barely sent anyone. It’s laughable as the creator and exporter of the financial crisis chose to escape directly. Well, that’s the United States’ style. Tang Qing wasn’t angry, just found it amusing. Is staying home that fun? Fine. I’ll give you something to do to pass the time. It’s been a while since watching fireworks. During this Chinese New Year, I’ll let you watch for free. Let this new year be lively for you. "..." "Ladies and gentlemen!" "The harsh winter will eventually pass, and spring is coming. Let’s strengthen our confidence, enhance cooperation, and jointly promote a new round of growth in the world economy! Contribute to sustainable development!" "Thank you all!" Finally. The speech ended. Returning to his seat, Tang Qing found everyone around chatting. "Something happened." The secretary looked peculiar. "Hmm?" "United States, Nevada, that munitions warehouse, just erupted with towering flames." "You mean..." "Hawthorne." "..." After listening. Tang Qing was stunned. He knew that place. Even counted among the top in the United States, an accident had occurred. But on reflection, with so many dangerous items stacked together, no matter how small the probability, quantity would increase the chance of an accident. Alright. Sympathy. What else? If it were a natural disaster, there’d be condolences. But the losses are all lethal items, and there’s no confirmation of casualties yet, so just wait and see. Subsequently. The opening ceremony continued. On-site. Many people found a peculiar comfort, as not many countries in the world haven’t been bullied by the United States. This year, they couldn’t avoid escape, leaving crisis-affected nations to discuss solutions themselves. Disgusting. Hmm. Suddenly, the speakers’ formulaic addresses felt much more pleasant. Tonight, the appetite might be better too, and they’ll get a good sleep. Perfect, that’s how days should be spent. Or. Have ’good news’ every day. ... In the crowd. Tang Qing watched the live broadcast. These fireworks were loud enough. During the Chinese New Year, Tang Qing had no interest in killing; thus, no injuries, just purely wanting those who were complacent. To move a little. Have to say. The safety in that place was well done, composed of nearly two thousand five hundred reinforced concrete bunkers, not connected, very safe, almost impossible to explode consecutively. Therefore. To make an accident happen, the number had to be sacrificed. Six. He liked this number, during the Chinese New Year, for a bit of good luck.
