Chapter 157
Secondary base core: 15 meters long, 4.3 meters wide, 3.2 meters high, 260 tons in weight, no driving device.

It must be connected to the core of the main base and share scientific and technological achievements in order to achieve independent operation. The current maximum connection distance is 5 kilometers, and all functions will be lost after exceeding.

It inherits the characteristics of the core of the main base, and has a certain construction range. The current maximum radius is 50 kilometers, and it can be expanded through radar and satellites.

Once the unit is released, it will no longer be able to enter the hidden state (carry it with you). If it is damaged, an engineer can be arranged to repair it. If it is destroyed, it cannot be repaired.

The commander must deploy the unit before he can designate one of his own personnel as the 'commander's deputy' to handle matters related to the secondary base.

Secondary Base Core 1 (Seoul).

Secondary base core 2 (undelivered).

Secondary base core 3 (undelivered).

.........

Repair the laboratory, the base rewards three secondary base cores.

Xu Fei originally planned to temporarily place them in Kyrgyzstan, Shanghai, and Guangzhou to build a production base for Hongqi automobiles.

After completing the radar project, expand the construction scope of the main base, and then transfer the core of the secondary bases to North America, Europe, and South America.

However, it was discovered yesterday at the Humphreys base that North American soldiers spend almost no money on electricity, and have not paid electricity bills for more than ten years.

Is this even a consideration?
It has to be made!

Immediately dropped a secondary base core, exchanged for five basic production lines on the spot, ordered a batch of packaging boxes overnight, and arranged a Navy SEAL liaison to serve as the commander's deputy to guard around the clock.

From now on, Daze Tin Toys Factory will stop producing 'Gua Dynasty', all power supply machinery of the Three Kingdoms.

The production line of Gua Dynasty will be transferred to Seoul, and the daily output will exceed 300 million pieces, and an additional 600 million energy will be provided every day.

Moreover, with the use of industrial robots, there is no need to hire people to stack cardboard boxes, just arrange for the SEALs to transport and deliver the goods.

And if Nanbangzi fully cuts the electricity and closes all factories, it is estimated that the daily output can exceed 3000 million pieces!

It's a pity that the substation and power supply lines can't bear it, and it will also have a series of negative effects.

'Shouer issued regulations restricting the use of high-power electrical appliances, including water heaters, electric stoves, induction cookers, hair dryers, etc., all of which are prohibited, and require manufacturers to report the power of each equipment...'

Xu Fei read the news for a while, picked up the fixed phone, and continued to contact the Huaxia People's Bank to inquire about the available foreign exchange amount.

The other party informed that although the superiors have been collecting money everywhere, it is difficult to recover those who have been taken out. Now there is only US$12 billion that can be lent to TEP for one month.

Compared with the funds required for the acquisition of United Defense, this amount of money is a drop in the bucket.

Xu Fei thought for a long time, sorted out the crude oil purchase contract, and in the name of TEP, consulted the World Settlement Bank for the mortgage loan amount.

In general, procurement contracts cannot be used as collateral.

However, the family has complete foreign trade procedures, which is equivalent to obtaining the ownership of crude oil. In addition, crude oil is a hard currency, and its status is comparable to gold, so loans are basically not a problem.

It’s just that the validity period of crude oil is only 2 to 3 years, and unreceived goods are equivalent to bearing the transportation risk. After talking for a long time, the crude oil contract worth 116 billion US dollars, the World Settlement Bank can lend up to 30 billion US dollars, and calculated on a five-year basis, the interest rate is as high as 4.7% .

Compared with China, it is not too high, but it is extremely high internationally.

However, the other party helped introduce the 'International Monetary Fund'.

Talking again, the latter gave a lower amount, only $20 billion, but the interest rate was as low as 1.5%.

Later, in the name of TEP, Xu Fei consulted with the World Bank, which was in charge of the World War II reconstruction project, and the Asia-Pacific Development Bank, which focused on the development of international finance invested by private companies in the country, and the Asia-Pacific Development Bank, which invested in infrastructure construction in the Asia-Pacific region.

In the end, it can be determined that in the field of large loans, what these banks value is not the 'crude oil purchase contract', but the repayment ability of TEP.

It can be said that these banks will lend even without collateral.

It’s just that TEP is a new enterprise. Except for the North American Tower Company’s international loan records, TEP’s loan history is almost equal to a blank sheet of paper.

In particular, the tower company's nearly US$20 billion loan has not been repaid, which is equal to a negative evaluation.

The fact that many international banks dare to lend to TEP is entirely based on the fact that the Three Kingdoms of Machinery have exploded and recently purchased so much crude oil.

The amount is linked to the credit rating.

If you want to get a loan of 100 billion US dollars in one go, you need to borrow 20 billion this year, repay 20 billion next year, borrow another 30 billion during the period, and continue to repay 30 billion the next year...

Borrow and repay, slowly accumulate, as long as you don’t default on the contract, and make the flow more beautiful, in three to five years, TEP can handle tens of billions of dollars in loans with one sentence.

As for collateral...

Cross-border operations, you mortgage crude oil to me, in case you default and your country happens to confiscate crude oil, who do I ask for money?
In addition, loans require various evaluations, from processing to lending, which can take as little as half a year and as many as two years.

When I get the money, I am afraid that United Defense will change its name.

"Ah, destroy it!"

Xu Fei slapped the toad monster flying away on the table, completely giving up the international loan.

At the same time, I also understand the importance of whether the motherland is strong or not.

If the Huaxia People's Bank has a $800 billion dollar to help us acquire United Defense, wouldn't it be an easy task?

If there are more multinational groups in Huaxia, each with tens of billions of dollars in cash, no matter whether they are competitors or not, under the guidance of their superiors, they will jointly contribute to help Xiao Xu's factory director... No, help Xiao Xu Shuji Isn't the acquisition of United Defense a matter of course?

Therefore, in order to take the opportunity to support a large number of Chinese private enterprises, it is best to go public in North America, absorb US dollars, complete cashing out, and then hand over the money to Director Xu...

Xu Fei flipped through the investment projects handed over to Liu Sixi.

Tofu Square, with total assets of 16 red notes.

Screw factory with total assets of 25 red notes.

Bicycle factory with total assets of 63 red notes.

Garment Factory……

metal factory……

stationery factory...

Shoes and hats factory...

Tannery...

Twenty or thirty enterprises, large and small, add up to less than a month's salary of the factory manager Xiao Xu.

Not to mention letting them mix in the world, I'm afraid Zeshi wouldn't be able to get out.

"A long way to go!"

Xu Fei lay on the desk, thinking and thinking, always brooding over the inability to acquire United Defense.

The main reason is that the timing is too good. If you miss it, you will lose billions of dollars.

Furthermore, the Harsco steel grating company under United Defense is very suitable for our own appetite.

Back then, when he suddenly got the core of the base, his first thought was not to make toys, but to go to North America to do steel business.

It is recycled from China and manufactured in North America.

Save taxes and fees, save transportation costs, and be able to process semi-finished products yourself, how profitable is this?

Even if he entered the toy industry, Xu Fei still did not give up the idea.

Therefore, Daze Power will spend hundreds of millions to billions, and use all the income from the country and Wajima to purchase steel.

And as of March, the amount of income has been seven times that of last year's total output.

I don't know how the superior counts.

Xu Fei threw away the messy thoughts and continued to think about where to get money.

Sell ​​technology, sell chariots...

Our own camp has no foreign exchange for the time being, so in all likelihood, we will transfer the gold mines and coal mines to our own family, and then take it out for a loan, which is no different from mortgaging a crude oil purchase contract.

Therefore, like the M8 incident, a batch of low-end tanks should be sold overseas.

"Second secretary."

"I'm here!"

"Help me ask overseas countries if they have purchased chariots."

"What do you want me to ask?"

"Call and ask."

"Is our family so reckless?"

"Otherwise how can I ask?"

"Then... in the name of which company are we, United Defense?"

"It's best to save the nameplate of the diesel engine, and you have to change the template."

"Ok."

The second secretary made an OK gesture, eager to open the computer webpage, and searched which country was at war.

Then contact the office of your own camp in the country, and ask for the contact information of the country's high-level officials in the name of the red flag.

After getting the number, switch the dialing device made by hackers and electrical engineers, connect to the satellite network, and cover up your own communication address.

"Crooked? Do you want a chariot?"

"..."

"Don't understand? Do you want chariots?"

"Beep beep..."

Directly hung up the phone.

The second secretary was not discouraged, and continued to browse the web. When he saw Harden's photo, he blinked, pointed at the screen and said, "Director, he definitely needs it."

"If you find his contact information, I will call you Second Sister from now on!"

Xu Fei rolled his eyes angrily, feeling that selling chariots was not very reliable.

After all, the entire process of price negotiation, contract signing, manufacturing/assembly, transportation and delivery, acceptance and payment will also take one or two months.

"Could it be that joint defense has nothing to do with our family?"

With this in mind, Xu Fei clocked in after get off work, ate and slept.

However, I tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep.

In desperation, I experienced the expansion pack in the middle of the night.

The next day.

3 month 17 number.

Early in the morning, Lao Gong, the head of the Daze Industrial Research Office, ran to the staff dormitory.

"Xiao Xu, wake up quickly."

"what happened?"

"The jujube tree, cactus, and cistanche planted on the 8th have all dried up."

"Isn't that normal? Think about the rules in Wong Nai Kong."

"What do you mean?"

"You hang on the embankment overnight, and you'll know what it means."

"..."

"Look, Daze is full of saline-alkali land, and there is a lot of wind and sand in winter. If you run outside for half a day, your mouth will be full of salt. Let alone planting plants, hang a large piece of raw pork, and it will dry naturally for you in three or two days. That’s why there are rules in Wong Nai Kong.”

From the very beginning, Xu Fei did not agree with the experts' proposal to plant desert-type green plants.

After all, in the past thousands of years, someone must have thought of it.

However, after the experts explored the thickness of the permafrost layer, they checked the leaching layer, sedimentary layer, and weathered layer, and finally the greening plan formulated according to the landform is very feasible.

The director of the palace lit a cigarette and said leisurely: "Don't we do greening and dry-dried meat?"

"Forget it, I'm worried that others will spread rumors that we have hung too many embankments, and there is no place to bury them, so we will sell them for money."

"What you said is a bit outrageous."

"There is a cross slope to the north, do you know that?"

"Water Margin where people sell steamed stuffed buns?"

"Look, if I mention it casually, you will come here as soon as you open your mouth. How can the steamed stuffed bun shop open?"

"..."

"Forget it, let's not do it for now. When we have money, we can get a few super-large excavators and dig up the entire Daze."

"Are you raising fish?"

"I'm still driving the Hum, and go into the sea by the Yellow River!"

"..."

"Calculating the time, the first batch of crude oil is about to arrive. Please help me look at it. More than 300 large cellars have been dug in the north. Don't let the children run there."

"know."

In the technology list, apart from the main modules, there are also some weird things.

Before consuming a small amount of energy, a large number of icons were repaired.

Including fences, bunkers, portable toilets, civic hospitals, oil barrels, cellars, bars, bridge maintenance huts...

Later, power grids, gates, ammunition boxes, army tents, fuel depots were repaired...

Recently, Xu Fei discovered that there are at least ten non-main modules that cannot be repaired by 5 million energy.

That's weird.

Think bridge repair huts, though, that can build big bridges overnight.

Think again about the 'three cows' given to the commander by the base, which can be milked when they are full.

Thinking about it further, storing oil barrels full of crude oil in the cellar can extend the shelf life of crude oil.

Perhaps, these non-main modules that require hundreds of millions of energy to repair also have some strange usages.

After Xu Fei parted from Director Gong, he washed up, went to the cafeteria to fill his stomach, and came to the workshop office to clock in for work.

Last night, in the name of TEP's acquisition of United Defense, he asked the military division and the operation center to make suggestions.

The latter two both said, wash up and sleep.

In the absence of mortgage loans, foreign exchange lending, and support from multinational corporations, our own side cannot afford $80 billion anyway.

Therefore, Xu Fei took out his mobile phone and planned to ask Lei Meng, can he give me the company first, and owe the money first?
Unexpectedly, before pressing the number, Raymond called.

"Xu, Mr. Strauss, are you interested in joint defense?"

"Old Lei, you seem to be in a hurry."

"What do you think? I have already spent all the money for the M8. Even if I deliver the goods, I don't have much money on hand, and the funds invested by Carlyle are locked up at both ends... The Carlyle Consortium is not only selling United Defense, Still selling Disneyland, Hard Rock Cafe, Porsches.”

"Wait, Disney? You control Disney?"

"It's the Disney amusement park, and it's all invested by us."

"..."

"You should be surprised by the Porsche sports car, which is also ours."

"..."

"Including two railway transportation companies, Faguo Telecom, Holland Telecom..."

"Okay, you guys are better than each other!"

"Xu, now is not the time to brag, have you asked Mr. Strauss for me?"

"I asked, but the old man said that there is no money on hand now. If you are willing to hand over the company to us, the money is owed first, and he may consider it."

"In other words, Mr. Strauss intends to acquire United Defense?"

"Yes, that's probably what it means."

"That's no problem, we can settle the payment now."

"Ok?"

"I sold 423 hunting dogs, 500 of which sold for 317 million dollars, and 450 sold for [-] million dollars... I guess it will be difficult to sell this high price again in the future, Xu, because I am desperately shooting promotional videos For your own sake, it’s not too much for me to keep a small percentage, right? Don’t worry, I’ll keep your small percentage for you. And the rest is enough to pay the purchase price.”

"what do you mean?"

"Yes, the payment that TEP deserves can completely buy United Defense."

"..."

"Xu, are you unhappy?"

"Old Lei, not many people know about this?"

"Do you know KFC?"

"What do you mean?"

"Xu, I promise, you will hang the bust on the door of the directly-operated store like that colonel, and become a brand symbol!"

"..."
