"Can the repayment period be made to forty or fifty years? The interest rate can be slightly higher."
Li Hongtang didn't get the answer he wanted. Instead, Gao Shaoyi asked another question. The people present couldn't help it. In their view, this was simply a wasteful behavior. We don't need to do this at all now.
What's the use of having so much money? Instead, you have to pay such high interest every year. Isn't this a waste of money?
"Master Hou, you can't do this!"
"You're right. Why do we need so much money? This is 500 million silver coins. There are only hundreds of thousands of us now, so we simply can't spend so much money."
"Master Hou..."
One by one, they immediately began to persuade them. In their opinion, Gao Shaoyi might have a problem with his head now. He had always emphasized the cost issue to us before. How could he borrow so much money at once? With all this money
It’s not that they don’t pay back interest, and it’s not called a loan shark empire for nothing.
"What's the fuss about? What's the fuss about? Stop making noise first..."
Gao Shaoyi sternly said, "This is how I suppressed these people. Otherwise, these people would have blown the roof off. It is understandable that everyone is concerned about the development of the Suppression Army, but how do you know what we are thinking?"
What is it? Do we need to pay him interest when we are full?
Gao Shaoyi has studied the situation in this world, and soon the whole world may fall into a war, which will take six or seven years at most. By then, Gao Shaoyi is also ready to draw chestnuts from the fire. As for the money we borrowed, only a fool will pay it back!
That's why Gao Shaoyi asked for the loan period to be lengthened. We still have to pay back the money before there is a war. After the extension, the annual interest and principal will also be reduced. Although there will be a repayment of 10,000,000 per year, but with the five
Compared with the principal amount of 100 million silver coins, this is simply a small head.
"Please answer my question first. Is it possible to extend the loan period to fifty years?"
After having this idea, Gao Shaoyi couldn't hold it anymore. Li Hongtang looked at Gao Shaoyi in disbelief. Do you still need to ask this question? As long as you have enough mortgage and repay the money in a timely manner, it will be completely completed in fifty years.
It is feasible, but do you know how much interest you will have to pay back in the next fifty years?
"I would like to ask Mr. Hou first, what do you use as collateral?"
Li Hongtang said speechlessly, this is 500 million silver coins. If the mortgage is not enough, don't expect the bank group of the Gallic Empire to give money. Of course, Li Hongtang also saw that this loan is too huge, and a bank will definitely take it.
If you can't do it, you will need a banking consortium composed of multiple banks.
"Our destroyer is faster, which is what they have always wanted, so I used the blueprint of the destroyer motor as collateral."
After Gao Shaoyi's words came out, the people present took a deep breath.
"My Lord Marquis, you are so brave..."
Ding Kui was about to cry. The speed of the destroyer can reach thirty-six knots, which is unique in today's world. If Gao Shaoyi takes this out as a mortgage, wouldn't it mean that the secret will be stolen by Gaul?
Do people in the empire know?
"Don't use this expression. Since we are using this as collateral, we will definitely sign a contract with them. If this technology is leaked, we will not have to pay back the 500 million silver coins."
Although Gao Shaoyi's words made many people breathe a sigh of relief. Although this technology is valuable, people in the Gallic Empire may not leak the technology. You must know that this is 500 million silver coins, but they can leak it in another way...
If the bankers want to do anything, we can't guard against it.
Gao Shaoyi has also thought about this. Of course, he has to use the best way to look at it, that is, we send special personnel to look at these drawings with them. Of course, Gao Shaoyi has no way to monopolize the technology. This technology can be used for up to 20 years in ten years.
Westerners would have studied it in ten years, but if they were not so attentive, how could the people of the Gallic Empire believe that this thing was worth 500 million silver coins?
"But but..."
Ding Kui's mind was in chaos. Although everything Gao Shaoyi said made sense, Ding Kui still felt that it was a bit risky. The speed of destroyers and cruisers has always been our trump card. Putting these drawings with others always felt a bit risky.
Suicidal tendencies, isn't this the same as putting your head on someone else's table?
"There is not so much visibility. If we want people from the Gallic Empire to help, we must give them benefits. We will not do things that are not beneficial ourselves. We give them interest every year, plus such
With strong collateral, they will definitely block the Rakshasa Empire’s fleet like the people from the Windsor Empire.”
Gao Shaoyi said with great confidence that when all these conditions were put on the table, the people of the Gallic Empire had absolutely no intention of rejecting them.
"Master Marquis, this mortgage is absolutely ok, and the money can also be obtained, but in fifty years, the annual principal and interest will total 25 million silver coins, which is five million less silver coins per year than in thirty years, but we
But having to pay it back for twenty more years is really not worth it."
It was like there was a computer in Li Hongtang's mind. Gao Shaoyi, who was standing next to him, was dumbfounded and calculated it for himself in a short time.
Gao Shaoyi didn't listen to anything else, except that he was underpaying five million silver coins every year.
"That's it. Just negotiate according to this standard. If you can negotiate at a lower level, one-tenth of the money saved will be given to you as a bonus."
Gao Shaoyi said with a smile, repaying 25 million silver coins every year and borrowing 500 million silver coins all at once must have been a debt that year. Repayments will start next year. According to the current trend of the world, it will only take six years at most.
I'm afraid that the whole world is about to start a war. Cut both ends and leave the middle. Gao Shaoyi only needs to pay back the money for four years, which is a full 100 million silver coins. The principal of the remaining 400 million silver coins is all ours. How can we count it?
No disadvantage either.
"..."
The remaining people, including Li Hongtang, were about to spit out three liters of blood.
Our Marquis is usually a very shrewd person, but what is going on now? How is this account calculated?
Giving people twenty-five million silver coins every year for no reason is not as simple as having water in their brains, it's like pretending to be a big ocean!
"Don't be nagging. I have an idea in my mind about this matter. Master Li can just do it right away."
Gao Shaoyi didn't give these people time to object and made the decision directly. There was really no way to explain this matter to everyone... This chapter has been completed!
