Next.
They visited several morendmark buildings.
Only then did Ken Locke take Kan Qin back to his arranged amodation.
---Hilton Hotel.
Although Mozambique is a poor country in Africa, it does have such international hotels, located in the capital of a country, even the most backward countries still have a group of people able to afford them.
Especially now.
A state visit.
Staying at their hotels is in itself a form of recognition.
Therefore.
In Africa.
The capitals of various countries are notcking in these kinds ofrge international chain hotels; upon Kan Qin’s arrival, this time an entire floor was directly booked. Before entering, it was checked by Mozambique security personnel and then handed over to the security team Kan Qin brought with him.
Fortunately.
There were no misunderstandings.
In the tea room.
Kan Qin and Ken Locke resumed their conversation.
Ken Locke was full of thanks, as just this month, the mine clearance contract with Myanmar Military Service Company waspleted, finally resolving a long-standing issue that had been troubling them.
Even more happily.
They didn’t have to pay in cash.
Due to the tight schedule of the visit.
Ken Locke also had no ns to visit abroad in the short term, so seeing Kan Qin arrive, he immediately brought up the matter he had long wanted to address, "Mr. Kan Qin, I hear your country is now able to cure most terminal diseases."
"Yes," Kan Qin nodded.
He had already guessed what Ken Locke was going to say.
"You also know, the average lifespan in our country is short, and the primary fatal diseases are due to renal failure caused by long-term medication for mria, as well as AIDS."
"However, our per capita ie hardly allows any of them to afford treatment in your country. I want to see if it’s possible for your country to build some hospitals here to help us."
"The Mozambique Government could provide loans to them, but the treatment fees would be settled in Asia Dors. You can use the loans to buy our country’s resources at a low price."
Ken Locke requested.
At the beginning of this month.
They had raised this issue with Myanmar Bank.
However.
There has been no response yet.
Hearing this.
Kan Qin smiled and said, "Mr. Ken Locke, we’ve been discussing this matter internally, and we already have a preliminary conclusion on the request you previously made. In principle, we can agree."
"That’s great, thank you."
Ken Locke said with joy.
He is a politician.
And the president of a country.
He, too, wishes his country’s people could live longer; dying in their thirties or forties is such a pity, and it’s a significant blow to a country’sbor market.
Kan Qin did not propose that Myanmar Bank branches be allowed to open here for medical loans.
He wasn’t foolish.
Earning an individual’s money versus a nation’s money.
Which is easier?
Of course, it’s thetter.
With the widespread poverty here, if Myanmar Bank were to offer loans, they would face a massive amount of personal debt default; it’s better to leave this bad debt headache to the Mozambique Government.
"As we are still discussing the feasibility of this model, precise implementation terms and conditions will have to wait until the end of this month for us to give you an urate response."
"I must remind you, curing diseases does not solve the root problem. Improving sanitation is the only way to fundamentally solve your country’s life expectancy issue. Otherwise, curing the disease only to have it recur is an even greater loss for your country."
Kan Qin ’kindly’ reminded him.
Regarding this.
Ken Locke agreed deeply.
Even the best doctors.
Cannot save patients determined to sabotage themselves. Telling you not to smoke, and you insist on smoking, ten packs a day, is untreatable. In Africa, AIDS is treated, but without restraint and promiscuous behavior.
You would still get it again.
"We will strengthen our health education and epidemic prevention efforts," Ken Locke said.
Kan Qin said, "There’s good news. The Myanmar Medical Foundation has been established and has received donations from caring people around the world. One of the foundation’s goals is to provide medical aid to underdeveloped countries."
"But this aid is not unlimited; otherwise, with a few more countries like yours, thepany might go bankrupt. Therefore, after careful andprehensive consideration,"
"In the allocation of ten thousand free treatment quotas and a thirty-five percent reduction in medical treatment fees annually, we have chosen to implement both simultaneously. For some economically better-off countries, only the former would be utilized."
A thirty-five percent reduction.
To be honest.
Kan Qin knew.
That they were still definitely making a profit, and quite a substantial one at that, because when ites to cost, he really couldn’t imagine it being very high, even though the production cost of ’Transcription Fluid’ from Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group is not low.
Upon hearing this.
Locke once again expressed his gratitude.
A thirty-five percent reduction is indeed a significant amount.
NovelFire.cσ?
Listen.
Other countries only get the former benefit, but his own country gets a full reduction—ha-ha, this way, arge sum of money can be saved. It’s just... Locke always felt that something was a bit off.
This joy.
Felt like a beggar receiving arge bill.
Forget it.
After all,pared to others.
He was really not much different from that.
Apart from some natural resources, there’s nothing much else to offer, while others have whatever they need and are currently the center of global attention, with an envy-inspiring development momentum in the future.
Afterward.
Locke also tactfully suggested borrowing some U.S. dors.
However.
Kan Qin decisively refused.
He was here to discuss Asia Dor loans.
And to negotiate matters rted to the national interests, not toe and willingly hand out money for them to spend. Currently, due to a significant amount of goods not being imported into the United States, Mozambique’s U.S. dor debt burden has sharply decreased.
Still borrow?
Wishful thinking.
"If, in theing year, our cooperation is happy, we will double the loan limit again next year. I believe it will significantly improve your country’s debt structure."
Kan Qin threw out another ’vision’.
This step.
Was a bit of a leap.
But.
Kan Qin was already used to it; after all, this money theoretically does not use the public spending of the Myanmar government, it’s a rtionship between Myanmar Bank and Mozambique, and these funds can also promote the domesticmodity economy.
Now.
Many Huaxiapanies have joined this trade system.
Even if these Huaxia merchants make money, they will surely convert it into RMB, leading to Myanmar Bank’s RMB foreign exchange reserves decreasing, but, Huaxia on the other side also tastes the benefits.
And has authorized higher credit limits.
That is to say.
Even if the RMB foreign exchange reserves are insufficient.
Huaxia would still make the exchange.
As long as it’s money earned by Huaxia merchants in this model, Huaxia would even only use a small portion of the foreign exchange from Myanmar Bank, and there’s no upper limit, unless it’s bteral trade outside this system, which would have restrictions on the exchange.
Therefore.
Don’t just talk about a few hundred billion.
They dare to lend out even a thousand billion.
As long as the party has the ability to repay, preferably a country, at worst, they still have resources to offset the debt.
"Thirty billion?" Locke’s eyes lit up.
"Mm."
Kan Qin nodded.
"We will actively cooperate with your side, and I believe our friendship will continue. I would like to toast you with your country’s fruit wine." Locke raised his wine ss; you can also drink wine at the tea house.
This doesn’t get people drunk.
"ng!"
Their wine sses lightly touched.
