Two days later.
It was the weekly cabinet meeting.
This time, Xiao Yunhai also attended.
After listening to the reports from various departments, Xiao Hongjing turned his attention to his eldest son: "Do you have anything to say?"
"Yes."
Xiao Yunhai nodded.
"Then go ahead."
Hearing this, Xiao Yunhai glanced at the more than 20 people in the conference room and said, "Today I will talk about infrastructure and tourism."
"I have already said that developing the tourism industry is one of the important strategies for the next few years."
"We have thousands of islands in Xinhan, and the seascape resources are very rich. However, the annual tourism consumption is less than 500 million Han yuan, and more than 90% of them are domestic tourists. This is completely different from the rich tourism resources we have."
"The annual tourism income of Phuket alone exceeds the tourism income of our entire Xinhan country. This is very abnormal."
"During this period, I went to the actual After visiting many places, I found a very important problem, that is, the infrastructure is very backward. "
"This has greatly lagged behind the development of our tourism industry. Take Bangji Island as an example. I have actually visited this island. The sea water is clear, the sand on the beach is fine, and it is rare white sand. It is very suitable for the development of tourism. However, such an island does not even have an airport. Secondly, there are only two ferries a day from Lanling and Dongyang.
There is even a power shortage on the island. There is not even a decent shopping mall or large supermarket. May I ask why tourists come under such conditions? "
After a pause, his eyes swept over the Minister of Tourism, the Minister of Transportation, the Minister of Energy and others, and they all lowered their heads in guilt.
Dare not look directly at Xiao Yunhai's eyes.
Xiao Yunhai retracted his scrutiny and continued to say: "Whether it is tourism or economic development, improving infrastructure is a prerequisite."
"Ministry of Transportation."
The Minister of Transportation, whose name was called, sat up straight and looked like he was listening to instructions.
"Bangji Island wants to develop tourism. I hope that before attracting investment, the airport, the road network around the island and the wharf can be built first. Is there any problem?"
Hearing this, the Minister of Transportation complained: "Your Highness, the construction of the airport, the wharf and the road network around the island requires more than 10 billion or 20 billion. Even if the Ministry of Transportation is sold, it can't raise so much money."
"How much can the Ministry of Transportation raise on its own?"
Xiao Yunhai frowned and asked.
"Less than 200 million."
"So little?"
"Your Highness, the Ministry of Transportation is indeed short of funds at present. It needs to build a new tanker port in Lanling, and an airport and Haiyong Highway in Xunyang County, Guangling Province. These projects occupy a lot of funds."
Xiao Yunhai turned his eyes to the Minister of Finance: "How much can the Ministry of Finance come up with?"
Seeing Xiao Yunhai looking at him, the Minister of Finance's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, it was as he expected.
There was a bitter look on his face: "Your Highness, the situation at the Ministry of Finance is also very tense, and we really can't come up with extra money."
Xiao Yunhai frowned.
Thinking that the current financial resources of Xinhan really can't come up with extra money.
After all, the annual fiscal revenue is only a few billion Han yuan.
A quarter of the several hundred billion has to be used for military expenditures.
The remaining three quarters are used for civil servants' salaries, social security, medical care, etc., and there is really not much money that can be used for infrastructure.
Otherwise, Xinhan's infrastructure would not be so bad.
But he didn't plan to pay for it himself money.
I don't plan to spend the royal family's money.
It's mainly for building infrastructure, and the rate of return is too low.
The government has to pay for this money.
The royal family can't subsidize it.
The previous donation of 10 billion Han yuan was mainly to stabilize the people's hearts and improve the royal family's favorability in the hearts of the people. The nature is different.
Seeing his son frowning, Xiao Hongjing was about to speak to ease the tense atmosphere in the meeting room.
Then he heard his eldest son say: "Since there is no money, then borrow it. ”
“When your majesty went to Longguo before, didn’t you reach an agreement on a low-interest loan? I think you can borrow money from Longguo. They hold a large amount of US dollar foreign exchange. You can borrow 20 billion US dollars from them to improve the national roads, electricity, communication networks and other infrastructure...”
Xiao Yunhai’s words stunned everyone in the conference room.
Borrow money?
Borrow 20 billion US dollars.
Although borrowing money from other countries is not uncommon in the international community, this amount is a bit too large.
20 billion US dollars.
Xinhan’s annual fiscal revenue is only more than 11 billion US dollars.
It means that it will take two years of fiscal revenue, and you have to go without food and drink.
“Will Longguo agree to borrow so much money?”
“Yes, I don’t think it’s necessary to build so much infrastructure so quickly. We should do it step by step. "
Xiao Hongjing frowned.
Just as he was about to help his son calm down, he heard Xiao Yunhai knocking on the table.
The sound of "Dong Dong Dong!" rang out in the conference room.
The originally controversial conference room suddenly became quiet.
Looking at the more than 20 pairs of eyes looking over, Xiao Yunhai said in a deep voice: "I know what you are worried about. You are worried that Longguo is unwilling to lend, and you are worried that you can't pay it back after borrowing."
"But I remind you, don't forget Jeddah Bay."
"After discussing with His Majesty the King, I decided to transfer 20% of the shares of New Han Royal Oil Company to the government at a price of 1 Han Yuan to support national development. ”
As soon as these words came out, all the cabinet members looked at King Xiao Hongjing.
The New Han Royal Oil Company is 100% owned by the royal family. Previously, it mainly imported oil and operated gas stations.
After the discovery of oil, according to the law, except for any private property, the remaining land and resources all belong to the royal family.
Now the royal family is willing to give out 20% of the shares.
IfBefore, it would not move everyone, but it is different now.
Now that oil has been discovered, 1 billion tons, it is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
20%, which means it is worth at least 100 billion dollars.
With this value, there is no need to worry about not being able to repay the loan.
And Longguo will not worry that the Xinhan government will not be able to repay the loan.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Xiao Hongjing smiled and said, "The decision of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my decision. 20% of the shares will be used to support national development."
Take out 20% of the shares and sell them to the government at a price of 1 yuan. This was also the decision made by Xiao Yunhai and him last night after they communicated.
The core of the royal family's wealth is based on the right to rule this country.
Without the right to rule, all these lands and resources are gone.
Take out 20% of the shares, first, to reduce the people's dissatisfaction with the royal family's monopoly of oil resources.
Second, after the government has money, it can also promote the welfare of the people.
Third, the government has money, and can strengthen the army. With the army's combat effectiveness improved, there is no need to worry about other countries coveting it.
On the contrary, the result of eating alone is likely to be nothing.
After getting a definite answer from Xiao Hongjing, the cabinet members showed joy and stood up to bow to Xiao Hongjing and Xiao Yunhai. After all, not everyone has the courage to make such a decision.
You know, this is a fortune of hundreds of billions of dollars.
(Ps: Please give me flowers, evaluation votes, and monthly votes!! The data is terrible...)
