This interest rate is not low. Generally, the one-year loan is not even 3%. Only the three-year loan can reach this amount. So why can’t it be sold?
Xia Zekai's money didn't come from the strong wind, he wanted to ask clearly.
"Leader, how much are you planning to issue this time?" Xia Zekai asked.
Wang Hongsheng stretched out his fist and said: "One billion."
For a prefecture-level city, especially a heavy industrial city like Qicheng, this amount is definitely not high, but it is a bit intriguing that Wang Hongsheng still has to find a "trustee".
Wang Hongsheng was also embarrassed. There was a problem here. Originally, the Qicheng government had money and its credibility was also very good. Some of the bonds it had previously issued were completed smoothly.
However, in recent years, as the overall economy of Qicheng has not been doing well, and there are more areas in the west of Qicheng that are undergoing large-scale development, a lot of money has been spent on building bridges, paving roads and planting trees, and the finances have been in deficit without realizing it.
After the bonds it issued matured, there was a problem with the payment. The finance department had no money to pay, and it has been delayed.
It turned out that people who believed in it, and bought bonds issued by it, were still unable to get the money, and they were very upset. This move made people so disgusted that they later issued two tranches of local bonds, but no one bought them.
But this time, in order to deal with the aftermath of the rain disaster, Qicheng had to spend real money, so they had to chip in money.
Otherwise, who will give him face if he goes to deal with the aftermath empty-handed?
Where will the faces of Liu Changhong and Zhou Wenyi go this year?
Wang Hongsheng wanted to hide it. He was like a mirror in his mind, knowing that this matter could not be hidden from Xia Zekai or the 'circle' around him. If he went back and made some inquiries, he would know the whole story, and then the two sides would not be in trouble. Beautiful, you might as well tell Xia Zekai yourself.
He told the previous 'problem' again. After hearing this, Xia Zekai suppressed his laughter and said, "I mean, what I said is that the previous one did something dishonest and he is about to lose his credibility."
Xia Zekai hit the nail on the head, and Wang Hongsheng couldn't say anything else. He asked, "Isn't it convenient?"
"Yes, the leaders have always supported the development of our company, and I can't just stand by and watch when the government is in trouble."
Having said this, Xia Zekai thought for a while and said, "Boss, I'll buy it for 10 million. Do you think it's enough?"
Wang Hongsheng directly stretched out his hand to shake Xia Zekai's hand without saying any unnecessary nonsense: "There is another thing I almost forgot to tell you. This heavy rain has soaked a lot of crop fields, and some corn may not be able to function normally. The output has been produced, and the government is arranging people to actively connect with farmers, and in order to minimize the economic losses of farmers, we will guide these farmers to plant various dried fruits in advance.”
"Don't worry, leader. As long as there is production of dried fruits in the coming year, I will take over all production," Xia Zekai said.
He thought to himself that this was an exchange of interests.
The next moment, he stretched out two fingers and said: "I originally planned to start the second phase, but because of the rain, it has been delayed again and again, and the raw materials are insufficient. I am also very anxious now."
"So soon, there won't be a groundbreaking ceremony?" Wang Hongsheng was a little surprised.
Xia Zekai shook his head: "It's not a big deal. We can just hold a small groundbreaking ceremony within the company and keep everything else simple."
Xia Zekai said: "It has been delayed for a long time. If we delay it any longer, we will suffer greater losses."
…
"Zekai, why is Wang Hongsheng looking for you?" Luo Xiyun was chatting with her mother-in-law in the living room. Looking at the girl and Tongtong who were sitting on the floor playing with treasures, her eyebrows seemed to be blooming, and a smile spread all over her face.
Xia Zekai had just returned from a meeting with Wang Hongsheng outside. Hearing his wife's inquiry, he said as he walked: "The government has no money. It wants to provide relief and relief and issue local bonds. I'm afraid no one will buy it by then. Let me be the pawnbroker."
A trust."
Xia Zekai explained the matter clearly in a few simple words.
Luo Xiyun said "Oh" and said nothing else, but Zhou Yinghong was surprised. She asked: "Zekai, can they still have no money?"
Hearing what his mother said, Xia Zekai wanted to laugh, but he knew that his mother really didn't understand the twists and turns here, so he said: "Mom, these are two different things. The government is like a work unit. If the work unit can be poor, so can they.
When you can't get the money, you have to find someone to borrow it, but you have to pay interest."
As soon as he said this, Zhou Yinghong understood.
"How much money do they want to borrow? If they borrow too much, you have to think carefully." Zhou Yinghong advised her son, for fear that his son would lend out most of the money in a hurry.
"Mom, don't worry, I know it well." Xia Zekai said: "They issued a total of 1 billion local bonds. If I buy 10 million, I will get an interest of 4.9% a year. I can't lose money."
After hearing what her son said, Zhou Yinghong stopped trying to persuade him.
He remembered something and said to his mother: "Mom, my eldest brother and his friends will come over to play tomorrow and we will cook more vegetables for lunch."
Zhou Yinghong asked him: "Are they all coming? If there are more, I will go out to buy some food early tomorrow morning."
"Mom, let me go to the supermarket with you tomorrow to buy some." Luo Xiyun said.
With the words "daughter-in-law", Zhou Yinghong no longer asked about her son.
Yatou and Tongtong rushed over almost at the same time and lay on Xia Zekai's lap. They both shouted excitedly: "Dad, I can write my own name, how are you going to reward me?"
"If it's true or false, write it down quickly and let me take a look." Xia Zekai was very happy.
The girl went to get the notebook. Tongtong stretched out her hand in front of him and gestured: "Dad, I will write like this, write like this, and then turn around and write like this."
"..." Xia Zekai looked confused when he heard this. He was thinking, my dear daughter, which language do you speak? I can't even imagine what you wrote.
Tongtong didn't seem to notice her father's cuteness. She continued: "Dad, what I wrote is very beautiful. I will write it for you later."
The sister finally brought the paper and pen over despite Tongtong's repeated calls. When Tongtong saw it, she stretched out her hand to grab it, but the girl took a step back to avoid her.
"I'll write it first, but you can't steal Tongtong." the girl said.
Tongtong quit. She stared and said, "No, I'll write first. I've already told my father."
Xia Zekai listened to her pretending to be powerful in front of him. He laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. He slapped her lightly and said, "I'll really beat you up if you let your sister write first and then act naughty."
"Humph!" Tongtong raised his eyebrows disdainfully and glanced at his sister, then stood aside.
The three people Yatou wrote about 'Xia Jingya' are a bit complicated, and the way she holds the pen is not very standard, but you can see the appearance.
She could indeed write. After she finished writing, Xia Zekai kept praising her.
Guzhao
After Tongtong saw it, she said unconvinced: "Sister, it's my turn to write, please give me the pen."
"Give!" The girl gave happily this time.
But Xia Zekai found that their second child's writing was really terrible. The word "Xia" took up half of the paper. She was still holding the pen as if she were grabbing something with her hands, feeling that she couldn't write "Ji Tong" on the remaining half of the paper.
After two words, she scratched her head in distress, and then looked at Xia Zekai with an innocent face: "Dad, how should I write it again."
Xia Zekai looked at the word 'Xia' and connected the two sides of a piece of paper. He couldn't see the character Xia. His heart twitched. The gap was too big. It felt like he was not being taught by a teacher.
Yes.
"Tongtong, who taught you to write like this?" Xia Zekai asked her.
Tongtong said matter-of-factly: "Mom taught me, she said to write like this."
Luo Xiyun was still talking to her mother-in-law beside her. She didn't admit it when her second brother arranged her in this way: "Tongtong, if you can't write well, blame me."
"It's what you taught me. I'm not wrong!" Tongtong stared back at her mother, quite brave.
Xia Zekai pulled her over, held her hand, and taught her how to write the word "Xia" stroke by stroke.
After actually teaching, Xia Zekai realized how laborious it was, and Tongtong was the type who didn't listen to instructions at all.
It was okay to hold her hand and write stroke by stroke, but once she let herself go, she was in a very high state.
What made Xia Zekai even more speechless was that Tongtong still didn't realize that her writing was ugly. She still felt good about herself and asked Xia Zekai seriously: "Dad, is what I wrote the most beautiful? Is it more beautiful than what my sister wrote?
"
"..."
Xia Zekai doesn't want to speak anymore. Where is your face?
At night, there was less water on the road and more pedestrians on the street. Many people took to the street and found a small restaurant along the street to have a drink with a few friends.
But when they saw the dark clouds floating in the sky, each one of them was like a frightened bird. They either rushed to the store or walked to the car parked on the roadside, for fear that they would be late and be hit by heavy rain again.
Thorough.
But when they discovered that not a single raindrop had fallen, they felt more at ease and returned to their seats, eating, drinking, and bragging.
…
Some are cheerful, but naturally there are also sad ones. Some people look at their home that was destroyed by the heavy rain, and feel unspeakable sadness in their hearts. They want to cry but have no tears left. They are full of grievances and don't know who to talk to.
Some people lost their loved ones forever in this heavy rain and cried until they had no tears left.
The night passed in all kinds of ups and downs. When everyone woke up the next morning, they found that there was no water outside. There were all kinds of garbage left on the ground, and there was fishy sludge lying on the ground.
Bicycles and electric cars that had been soaked for who knows how long, and buses that had been soaked in water for three days and two nights under the railway bridge finally showed their true colors.
But when everyone saw that the car was removed by a tow truck and the true appearance under the car was revealed, they suddenly fell silent again.
No one expected that there was a puppy with a round belly under the car. At this time, its four legs were irregularly twisted, and the skin on the top of its head was worn out, revealing its soaked and colorless flesh and its tongue.
It is also drooping and can never be taken back.
The dog had rotted after being soaked in water for three days and emitted a disgusting stench that made people afraid to approach it.
No one knows what kind of pain it went through. It wanted to get out from under the car and take a breath of fresh air, but there was a bus that could carry forty or fifty people. It probably didn't expect to move a few steps to the side.
It was able to escape, but it took a few steps to reach the terminal.
People also saw that on the road to the right of the bridge tunnel, on the low-lying arc road, there were several thick dark steel plates in the middle that were soaked in oil and shiny. Under the steel plates were two layers of color steel plates that had long been deformed.
, at this time, the color steel plate has become two thin pieces. Fortunately, there are steel plates on top to support it, otherwise it would not be able to support so many cars passing by this road.
The TV station people recorded this scene minutely.
More and more people also know that a person named "Xia Zekai" mobilized these steel plates and color steel plates with one phone call, and temporarily paved a road, allowing many people to return home safely.
At this time, Xia Zekai was taking Yatou and Tongtong for a walk in the community.
During the past few days when it rained, the two little sisters were kept at home all day long. They were both going crazy. But today it finally cleared up. They couldn't stay any longer and had to go out for a run.
"Dad, can you chase me if I run?" the girl asked.
Tongtong ran forward without saying a word.
When the girl saw that her sister was not following the rules, she also chased her away.
"Dad, come quickly." The two sisters called back to their dad as they ran.
There were people here who were renovating and constructing other villas. Seeing the father and daughter having so much fun, everyone's eyes showed envy.
They also have children, but they don’t have time to play with them.
If people can buy a house here, they can only take advantage of the weather to come over and work on the construction to earn a few bucks.
The two sisters ran for a while, but one of them didn't pay attention. The girl stepped on a piece of muddy ground and fell down with a 'snap'.
Xia Zekai was horrified when he saw it. He quickly ran over and helped his daughter up, and asked her nervously: "Girl, where did you touch? Does it hurt?"
"Hehe, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all. Dad, please see how good I am." The girl patted the dust on her legs and ran forward again.
At some point, Xia Zekai's cell phone rang. When he saw that it was his brother Xia Zejiang calling, he quickly answered the call.
"Brother, my eldest brother and I have arrived at your place. You have gone out." Xia Zejiang's voice came.
"Brother is here too?" Xia Zekai stopped. He stretched out his hand to call Yatou and Tongtong over, preparing to go back.
Tongtong was unhappy, shook her little head, and said angrily: "Dad, I want to play for a while longer."
"We can't play anymore. Your uncle and uncle are here. They bought you two delicious things. Let's go back and take a look." Xia Zekai said.
When Tongtong heard that there was food, he stopped talking about playing and nodded quickly: "Dad, let's run quickly. If we get back late, we'll be gone."
The girl took a step slower and ran over, twisting her body and acting coquettishly: "Dad, I'm tired of running, please carry me on your back."
"I'm really defeated by you. Come on up." Xia Zekai obediently knelt down and let the girl lie on his back.
Who knew that the girl still disliked him: "Dad, you have a lot of water on your body and it stinks so much!"
"Bah, believe it or not, I will throw you down." Xia Zekai grabbed the girl's arm and started running.
