Chapter 515 A good thing that falls from the sky

Compared with neighboring countries, Bagan has an advantage in terms of land area. But the population and economy are lost to neighboring countries with smaller land area. The reason has a lot to do with the fact that the order is always in chaos and cannot be completely unified.

Fortunately, in recent years, the Bagan authorities have held several operations to negotiate with those forces that control a province or even a place, and finally reached corresponding agreements, allowing the domestic situation to slowly balance out.

But everyone knows that this balance may be broken at any time. For those ordinary people who are trapped in poverty, how can they remain indifferent when they really don't have enough to eat that day or are even on the verge of being unable to survive?

The authorities, who are also aware of this, know that in order to change this status quo, they must first have money in their hands, and secondly, the government must have absolute strength to suppress those forces that do not listen to orders. Otherwise this chaos will continue forever.

Compared with other investors, Mu Shanhe seems to be particularly easy to talk to. And when talking about investment, he will not attach any conditions. In comparison, it is normal for Man Rui and others to pay more attention to Mu Shanhe.

Even though he had controlled two mines, they paid taxes according to regulations, and even completely calmed down the originally chaotic surroundings of the mines. In the end, they even actively invited government personnel to work there to collect taxes.

Although this operation makes many people feel confused. But at least judging from the current situation, this is undoubtedly a good sign. As long as Mu Shanhe can help them change their current situation and predicament, why not give them some benefits?

In the next few days, Man Rui, as the master, even personally accompanied Mu Shanhe to inspect the areas rich in oil information in Bagan. However, the results of the inspection made Man Rui feel somewhat lacking in confidence.

The reason is simple. In addition to the chaotic order of oil extraction, the road infrastructure in areas where many oil fields are located is also extremely worrying. Perhaps the only thing I appreciated slightly was that no monsters appeared during the inspection.

But after the inspection, Mu Shanhe couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Sir Manrui, I really didn't expect that your road infrastructure is so backward. It's no wonder that your oil production has never been able to increase."

"Wu, you also know that we have just restored order not long ago. If we want to build infrastructure, the government must have money. In fact, we have resources, but we do not have the corresponding technology and funds.

If you are willing to invest, I promise to give you the maximum discount. As the master of Bagan, I also hope to change this situation as soon as possible. But many times, I am determined but powerless! "

"Your Excellency, in fact, I am willing to come to your country to inspect this time because I feel that you and your subordinates are not as scary as the outside world claims. Because I know that as a soldier, you are at least loyal to this country."

Man Rui was also very pleased with the seemingly sincere words. You know, after they came to power, they received a lot of criticism from the outside world. After these criticisms, no one dared to invest.

Even many things that could have been sold at high prices had to be exported at low prices due to reputation issues. After all, things can only be exchanged for money if they are sold. What's the use of having more supplies if there's no one to buy them?

After more than a week of inspections and visits, Mu Shanhe also had a general understanding of the current status of Bagan's oil fields and the distribution of resources. Although the investment risk is quite high, the income after success should be quite generous.

After understanding this and completing the corresponding layout, Mu Shanhe finally decided to invest in Bagan. He even took the initiative and said: "Your Excellency Man Rui, I can invest, but in terms of infrastructure construction, is your country willing to fund the construction?"

Faced with Mu Shanhe's inquiry, Man Rui thought for a moment and said, "Of course it's possible! But our funds are very limited. Nowadays, the government's expenditures are in deficit every year, and we can't spend much money."

"Then do you dare to borrow money? Although I have some money, I'm afraid it's impossible to give it away for free. In business, as an investor, I definitely want a guarantee when making investments, and I can't just give money away. "Lending? Mr. Wu, can you explain this more clearly?"

"I mean, I own a commercial bank in Xiangcheng. Although the scale is not large at the moment, I still have some reserves. If you are willing, I can open a commercial bank in your country.

In the name of the government, you can borrow $100 million in infrastructure funds from banks. Corresponding interest will be given, but your repayment period can be extended. Even when my investment makes a profit, you can use the loan to offset your taxes. "

The asking price is US$100 million, which is undoubtedly a piece of pie in the sky for the Bagan authorities who have very little foreign exchange. Especially when Mu Shanhe said that he would invest 100 million US dollars in Bagan in the early stage, these people became even more excited.

In order to retain the 200 million yuan in foreign exchange funds, Mu Shanhe also started a new round of consultations and negotiations with the authorities. The initial infrastructure construction for the oil fields and refineries where investment has been finalized will naturally be funded by the government.

After the construction is completed, Mushanhe will dispatch professional management personnel and mining personnel to the oil field. As for the oil fields, Mushanhe also gives the government corresponding shares. This means that the government can also pay dividends from the oil fields every year.

Although the oil field was sold to Mushanhe, they received less exploitation tax. But many people believe that with the development of professional and modern equipment, the output income of the oil fields will inevitably exceed the scattered taxes collected before.

The most important thing is that the scattered taxes before were often not collected. Tax evasion is nothing new for many private mining owners. Now, the government can undoubtedly benefit more.

As for regretting it later, unless they dare to risk the country's credibility. Otherwise, we can only follow Mu Shanhe's wishes. Moreover, after the oil fields are integrated, they can also provide a large number of jobs and place more workers in jobs.

Coupled with the supporting petroleum refinery, Bagan's fuel supply can also be greatly improved. What excited Man Rui and others the most was Mu Shanhe's willingness to invest and cooperate with the authorities to develop a large-scale industrial zone.

In this industrial zone, the authorities are responsible for infrastructure construction and land allocation, while Mushanhe is responsible for attracting investment. When a large number of companies settle in, the government can not only distribute dividends but also collect taxes from these companies every year.

After multiple rounds of consultations, investment agreements were signed one by one in the presence of media reporters. In Mu Shanhe's words, if these investments are implemented, the total investment will exceed at least one billion in foreign exchange.

Although these investments cannot be implemented at once. But for Bagan, such a huge foreign exchange investment will undoubtedly greatly improve their current situation of foreign exchange shortage. How could they miss such a rare opportunity?

Man Rui and others even expected that after the news was announced, the people in the area under their control would probably be happier than they were. The construction of a large number of factories will not only provide a large number of jobs, but will also boost the country's economy.

For example, in the lumber factory invested by Mushanhe, it is impossible to cut down the lumber on its own, right? In this way, this wood processing plant alone will definitely provide more opportunities for countless fellers to make money!
