Chapter 410 He who knows the current affairs is a hero
Borneo.
Bo Ni in the north.
As one of the four remaining independent entities in Southeast Asia, the situation here is deteriorating rapidly.
The reason is very simple. Bo Ni is surrounded by Homo sapiens on three sides and faces a certain big country across the sea. This tragic geographical situation of being caught in the middle is no less than that of the Mobei region. They also feel like they are walking on thin ice.
Originally, we could rely on oil fields to sell oil and natural gas, and then use the money to subsidize civilians, maintain high domestic welfare, and thereby stabilize internal affairs.
This all looks very nice.
However, they encountered Homo sapiens who lacked great virtue. By secretly drilling inclined wells and horizontal wells, the sapiens drained away the oil and natural gas underground and under the sea in Bo Ni in less than two years.
In September this year, Boni finally discovered that its oil fields were exhausted.
At this time, due to the global economic crisis, Boni's tourism industry and offshore finance were also hit hard. After losing the core resource of oil and natural gas, their internal economic problems began to arise.
Although the Bo Ni royal family is extremely rich, just because the royal family is rich does not mean that the common people are also rich.
Boer, who does not want to be the Sun King, naturally understands that stopping benefits is self-destruction.
Finally, both parties reached an agreement.
After some discussion, although he did not want to lose the throne, Bol also knew very well that this was the best plan at present.
The feud between rice and rice will definitely happen in Bo Ni.
The common people of Boni can continue to maintain a high-welfare life, while the royal family can leave with their money. With tens of billions of dollars in assets, as long as they are well planned, they can protect the wealth of the family for at least three generations.
These people are unanimously opposed to continuing to issue financial subsidies. After all, this already involves core interests.
Upon hearing this number, all the core members of the royal family frowned.
Now that the royal family's oil field profits have disappeared, and the transformation of the tourism and financial industries has failed, the royal family has no income. For the time being, it can only maintain high internal welfare by resting on its laurels.
The palace was even reserved for the Bol family and they were allowed to freely return to the palace in Bo Ni to live there.
At the same time, it promised to provide the Bol family with a special asylum for 50 years, so that they can become honorary employees who do not enjoy the benefits of Homo sapiens.
After more than a week of negotiations.
As for why it was sold to Homo sapiens and not to America or the Far East.
However, this did not make them happy, because the pillar industry of Boni has collapsed, and from now on, Boni's fiscal deficit will increase significantly.
If we all rely on foreign exchange reserves, we can only support it for about 3 years. With the royal family's small treasury, it can only be extended to 7 years at most.
That night.
Anyone with any brains knows that Bo Ni is surrounded by Homo sapiens on three sides and is still in the core area of Homo sapiens. Whether America and the Far East dare to take over is not yet mentioned.
Prince Jeffrey, who lives an extremely luxurious life, was the first to jump out: "I will never agree to continue to subsidize those parasites. This is our money."
These people were immediately speechless. After all, the ordinary people in Boni have been spoiled by them and are accustomed to a high-welfare life. Now if they suddenly say that they will not be paid, most people will definitely feel resentful.
With a local population of 465,000, plus hundreds of thousands of foreign workers from Annan and Tianzhu, Boni has no industry and can only rely on the half-dead tourism industry. It cannot make much money at all, nor can it provide many jobs.
It seems that these assets add up to a lot, about US$78.5 billion.
Fortunately, Crown Prince Habib eased the atmosphere: "Uncle, don't worry, we will work out a solution."
As a result, if we continue to give money to civilians, we will be cutting off our flesh to feed the hawks.
News of the depletion of oil fields was blocked by the royal family.
In the past, you could make money by selling oil and natural gas. The royal family would give out some leftovers, and the common people could also have enough to eat.
Jeffrey continued: "Selling Bo Ni to Homo sapiens, we only need Homo sapiens to retain the royal family's property and a special asylum qualification, and then we can move to Xiangjiang for investment and development."
Suddenly Jeffrey's eyes rolled, and an idea came to his mind: "How about we sell Bo Ni to Homo sapiens!"
The whole world seems to be surprised by this.
Regarding this younger brother, Bol actually didn't want to talk to him at all.
Now that there is no income from the oil fields, it is still difficult to maintain the capital chain unless the members of the royal family are fools. The small treasury now has more than 40 billion US dollars, but every penny is lost.
As the agreement was signed, both parties announced the matter on television.
"this……"
"What?" Crown Prince Habi, regardless of his demeanor, asked with wide eyes, "Uncle, do you know what you are talking about?"
Bol looked at everyone: "Now the royal family still has assets of 47.3 billion U.S. dollars. In addition, the finance department also holds 26.6 billion U.S. dollars in foreign exchange and 2.3 billion gold dollars in foreign exchange. This is all our assets."
Bor was in the palace, meeting secretly with the head of the foreign affairs team of Homo sapiens stationed in Bo Ni.
Gulu...Habi also reacted at this time.
However, Jeffrey sneered: "Haha, Habi, are you worried about your position as king? You'd better think about one thing clearly. If you don't have money, whether you can continue to be the crown prince is still a problem."
Yes! If Bo Ni goes bankrupt, it will either use the royal family's small treasury to hold on for a few more years, or the royal family will abscond with the money. Other than that, there are not many options.
What's more, now that Homo sapiens are wealthy and have very good welfare, the common people in Boni will have much less opposition to joining Homo sapiens.
However, if he continues to pay benefits, his small treasury will suffer heavy losses, and he may even have nothing in the end, which is unacceptable to him.
Obviously, members of the royal family are unwilling to use the royal family's small treasury to subsidize the common people.
Others expressed their opinions equally.
A group of royal family members started discussing.
At this time, in the splendid palace, the seventy-year-old King Bor was having a small meeting with other core members of the royal family.
Bol frowned: "If you don't say anything, how are you going to appease the civilians?"
"Brother, what are you going to do?" Prince Jeffrey asked quickly.
However, the smart people in the Balni royal family have discovered, especially King Bor, who is aware of the crisis and believes that continuing like this is not a long-term solution.
In the past, there was no harm in sharing the income from the oil fields with the common people, and it could also win people's hearts.
To continue to maintain the current high welfare benefits requires tens of billions of dollars in fiscal expenditure every year.
As long as the Balni royal family dares to say that they want to sell their land to other forces, Homo sapiens will let them all fly together on a plane in a matter of seconds.
Bol signed the "Boni Overall Assets Sale Agreement" and packaged and sold the entire Bo Ni to Homo sapiens. The conditions given by Homo sapiens allowed the Bol family to take away all foreign exchange reserves as special compensation.
Although Bol explained the reason on TV, saying that the oil and natural gas resources in Bo Ni have been exhausted and can no longer maintain the high welfare life of the people. For the sake of the people, he can only "bear the pain" and sell Bo Ni to Homo sapiens.
But America didn't care. The New York Times immediately published an article with the title: "Evil giants swallow up Bo Ni again, who will be next?"
Then major media and Internet giants in Europe and the United States stopped one after another and publicized the ambitions and crimes of Homo sapiens Corporation.
Not to be outdone, the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment of Homo sapiens has led a large number of Internet trolls to engage in verbal warfare with European and American media on the international Internet.
The Bor family, who had withdrawn from the game, secretly arranged for some members to buy real estate in Xiangjiang and prepare to establish the Bor Group and the Bor Foundation. They paid no attention to the public opinion confrontation between Sapiens and America.
