After a few days, Fernando, who was waiting anxiously, never saw the financial assistance from the Chinese government.
However, the war situation has become increasingly tight.
The MPLA troops must not only deal with UNITA's guerrilla warfare, but also resist UNITA's frontal attacks.
Every day The casualties and consumption of ammunition are very serious.
All of this must be supported by money.
Once there is no money, the regime becomes precarious.
Seeing that there was no funding from the Chinese government, Fernando had no choice but to shamelessly call and inquire in person.
However, the Chinese government politely refused and asked him to wait for a while, citing the temporary inability to mobilize funds.
Fernando was certainly not a fool, and he could tell that this was just an excuse.
His face turned red with anger, and he hung up the phone without saying anything else.
After putting down the phone, Fernando sat in the office and cursed the Chinese government for being ungrateful and unwilling to save him.
This is how people are, after you help him once or twice, he will take your appearance as a matter of course.
Once you stop helping him, he will hate you even more than if you had never helped him.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to control people's hearts.
Fernando has not forgotten the agreement he and Xie Wendong made.
If the Chinese government does not assist him, Xie Wendong's Bank of East Asia will provide him with a loan.
He suppressed his anger, dug out Xie Wendong's phone from the drawer, and called him directly.
It didn't take long and the call was connected.
"Is it Mr.
Xie?"
Hearing Fernando's voice, Xie Wendong smiled.
He had been waiting for this call for a long time.
He pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, it's Mr.
Prime Minister.
What do you want from me?"
"My application for assistance from your government has not received a satisfactory answer.
It seems that your government has no intention of continuing to assist us."
This result was already within Xie Wendong's expectation.
He snorted and said: "Since the Chinese government does not plan to continue to provide additional assistance, what are Mr.
Prime Minister's plans in the future?"
"I remember Mr.
Xie once said that if your government stopped aid, you would give us a loan from your Bank of East Asia."
"Of course I remember everything I said, but" Xie Wendong paused for a moment before saying anything, and said: "I think Mr.
Prime Minister should understand that banks also have bank regulations.
I can apply for loans for Mr.
Prime Minister, but there are Interest still has to be settled.”
Fernando tilted his chin and asked suspiciously: "What's the interest rate?
Mr.
Xie, please don't add insult to injury and take advantage of the situation."
"Haha" Xie Wendong laughed and said: "Mr.
Prime Minister, you can rest assured that I will do it in accordance with international practices.
The interest rate for loans from international banks is between 20% and 30%.
I am the Prime Minister."
Sir, the minimum is 20%, and the repayment period is one year.
What do you think, Mr.

Prime Minister?”
"This" Fernando has no objection to the interest.
After all, it is not an aid loan.
The 20% interest rate is not high, but he feels that the period is too short.
It is only one year.
Even in this year, the An people's movement has completely Even if UNITA's forces are eliminated, it will probably be difficult to pay back all the original money with interest.
He asked: "Mr.
Xie, can you postpone the deadline a little longer?"
It doesn't matter.
We can sign a one-year contract now.
When the one-year period is up, if your government really has difficulties, I will postpone the time.
Xie Wendong said with a smile.
If Fernando could see his smile at this time, he would definitely feel shuddering.
"Okay then."
Fernando thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind to get the loan first and then deal with the current urgent needs.
The two made a verbal agreement on the phone, and then Xie Wendong called Li Xiaoyun and asked her to draft an international loan contract worth 200 million US dollars, explain the details, and then go to the Angolan government to sign it.
After hearing this, Li Xiaoyun was very surprised and asked: "Wendong, are you really going to loan that much money to ANLM?
Is the risk too great?"
She has thought very carefully.
The situation in Angola is still unstable.
Once the MPLA is overthrown, the next government will no longer recognize the loan contract of 200 million U.S. dollars, and the money taken out will be wasted.
"When it's time to gamble, we have to bet on whether the People's Liberation Army can win the civil war."
Xie Wendong said: "If we win, we will have the capital to contain the People's Liberation Army government, and we can still make money a year later.
I’ll get 40 million U.S. dollars in interest.
If I lose, blame me for not having the foresight.
Just think of it as spending money to teach me a lesson.”
"That's 200 million U.S. dollars," Li Xiaoyun said: "The bank's liquidity is not very large.
It would be hard to spend 200 million U.S. dollars, but you use it to verify your vision."
"Haha, don't worry, money is not a problem."
Xie Wendong said: "I will transfer the 200 million US dollars to the Bank of East Asia in a while."
"Ah" Li Xiaoyun was surprised and asked quickly: "Where did you get so much money?"
"Of course I have my own way."
Xie Wendong said: "Just do what I want.
Remember, the contract must be signed by the President of Angola."
"I understand."
"Now it's only 200 million U.S. dollars.
I think this is not enough to fill Anren's belly.
In the future, we may need to continue to make additional loans.
So, Xiaoyun, you have to work harder and speed up the operation of the bank.
So that you can accumulate enough funds.”
"I think you are really crazy to invest so much money in a government whose regime is unstable and may collapse at any time."
Li Xiaoyun shook her head and sighed: "There may be no one else in the world besides you.
Find a second person who is willing to do this.
"Haha" Xie Wendong laughed and said leisurely: "The truth is often in the hands of a few people, so the world is often changed because of a few people." "" Li Xiaoyun was completely speechless when she heard this.
After Tony Victor, Blake Nutt, Guan Feng, Jack and others arrived in Angola, they immediately rushed to visit the diamond mine, and Chris personally came out to accompany them.

After Tony and Chris met, they first smiled bitterly, then laughed, and shook each other's hands warmly.
Who could have imagined that two people who were once enemies would now be on the same front and working for the same person?
Under Chris's management, the diamond mine operates very normally.
The mined diamonds are placed in specially built warehouses and are guarded by the army around the clock.
In the warehouse, Tony and Blake were surprised when they saw the boxes containing diamonds arranged in long rows.
They both agreed that it was necessary to set up a processing factory in Angola.
With his goal in mind, Tony began to make preparations.
At this time, the relationship network he established during drug trafficking came into play.
Relevant technical personnel were invited from all over the world and processing equipment was purchased.
At the same time, he was not far from the mine.
Construction of factory buildings.
Of course, everything he did required money, and Xie Wendong gave him strong support.
Let Li Xiaoyun allocate sufficient funds to Tony for his use.
With the help of money and the strong cooperation of the Angolan government, things became twice the result with half the effort.
Soon, the prototype of a processing plant could be seen not far from the mine.
In addition, the professional equipment purchased and the professionals hired with high salaries also We have arrived in Angola and things are going smoothly and quickly.
Xie Wendong was still very positive about Tony's work in Angola.
At the same time, he also transferred more brothers from Wendonghui and Beihongmen to help and manage.
Now, Xie Wendong is just waiting for the processing plant to start operating and produce finished diamonds so that he can sell them externally and accumulate funds.
That afternoon, Xie Wendong was on the phone with Tony.
Dong Xinlei knocked on the door and was about to open his mouth to speak.
Xie Wendong waved his hand and asked him to wait.
Then, he said into the phone: "When will the sample diamond be processed?"
" "It will be within a week at the earliest."
"Oh, it will take so long."
Xie Wendong thought for a moment and then asked: "Have you contacted all the international jewelers?
I don't want the diamonds to be processed and there will be no sales channels."
"Haha, don't worry, Mr.
Xie, the color of our diamond is F, the clarity is VVS, the particles are large, and with the professional processing talents I have found, the shape and cut are also first-class.
Such a diamond, you can get it The goods are in hot demand on the market, so as long as we spread the word, we don’t have to look for buyers, and buyers will naturally come to us.”
Xie Wendong frowned, wondering where Tony got all this nonsense.
He smiled and asked, "I just want to know if you have contacted the international jeweler."
"We don't have this yet.
I have to wait until the samples come out and then send them the pictures.
Otherwise, they won't believe my words if they are just empty words."
"Do it as soon as possible, and I want to see the results as soon as possible."
"Okay, Mr.
Xie" After hanging up the phone, Xie Wendong sighed.
Diamond processing factories are still very expensive.
Not to mention anything else, the salary of those diamond processing engineers is a huge amount.
If they just invest in it but get no return, Li Xiaoyun will not be able to bear it.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Dong Xinlei and asked, "Old Lei, what's the matter?"
Dong Xinlei took two steps forward and whispered: "Brother Dong, the Lu Kou from Nanhongmen is here."
Xie Wendong was stunned for a moment and murmured: "It is probably to join forces with me to jointly attack the Youth Gang."
Dong Xinlei thought the same way and asked, "Did Brother Dong see him?"

"Now that he's here, don't let him get rejected."
As he said that, Xie Wendong lowered his head and said, "Let him in."
"Yes, Brother Dong" Dong Xinlei agreed and walked out quickly
