Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System-Chapter 371 - : Let’s start by paying back a few trillion every year
Chapter 371 -371: Let’s start by paying back a few trillion every year
“You’re looking for me? How could you not dare to come find me?” Kazama Suke was so angry he could kill. You sent us those two agreements, demanding rent and interest, tens of trillions of US dollars. Who’s causing trouble for whom?
But he only dared to keep these words in his heart, not saying them aloud.
“Mr. Fang, we received the message you sent us yesterday.”
“Oh, oh, oh, you mean those two land contracts and government bonds.” Fang Jueyu feigned a sudden realization, “Sorry, I’ve been handling too many assets recently, I didn’t react immediately.”
“Dammit, not reacting immediately. Even if you’re pretending, do it more convincingly. It happened just yesterday, and the amount is astronomical. Do you think it’s just a few bucks?” Kazama Suke cursed Fang Jueyu’s ancestors ninefold in his heart.
“Those two items shouldn’t have any issues, right?”
“Yes, Mr. Fang, we conducted a review and confirmation, finding the evidence left from back then,” said Kazama Suke.
Actually, they found more than just the evidence. They even found the guarantors and witnesses from the past, and those witnesses had identities that were terrifying, none other than the Sun Family from the Da Di region!
Even a fool could guess these families with similar crests had complex relationships, and Fang Jueyu was likely connected to this symbol. If he dared to renege, his fate would probably be very miserable.
“If it’s confirmed there’s no problem, then it’s straightforward.” Fang Jueyu stretched out a hand, “Well, the thing is, I’m a bit tight on cash and need some money for turnover, so could you have the President settle the back rent and interest for me?”
“I’ve had people calculate it. Don’t say I’m ripping you off. The rent is based on your country’s average rent. This is the most developed place in your country, the rent is certainly well above that average.”
“Absolutely, Mr. Fang’s calculations are very reasonable,” said Kazama Suke, forcing a smile.
“You owe me 147 years of rent. I have a bit of OCD and don’t like dealing with loose change. I’ll waive the small amounts, round it up. The total is 43 trillion.”
Upon hearing this number, Kazama Suke visibly twitched.
“And the interest, I’ve rounded it off for you too, 3 trillion US dollars, so a total of 46 trillion US dollars. Please settle this for me.”
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
Kazama Suke was almost on the verge of tears. The United States’ annual GDP is about 20 trillion US dollars, Huaxia’s is 13 trillion US dollars, and the Sun Country’s is 5 trillion US dollars. Even the combined GDPs of these top three countries couldn’t cover this amount.
46 trillion US dollars, what kind of concept is that? In 2005, the total global GDP was only a little over 47 trillion US dollars, them being able to come up with this amount was a miracle in itself.
“Mr. Fang, please don’t joke!”
“Joke? I like showing off, but I never boast or joke. Besides, does this sound funny?” Fang Jueyu’s face was innocent.
“But Mr. Fang, we really can’t come up with 46 trillion US dollars!”
“What? You can’t? Didn’t you set aside money for using this place for over a century? Or do you think that since the Leiteng Family disappeared, the ownership of this land is now yours?”
“No, no, no, Mr. Fang, we really can’t!” Kazama Suke started to plead his case, “If we’d set aside that money each year, we could naturally pay it off, but our country needs to develop, right? The people need to eat, right? Mr. Fang, you should consider our difficulties too.”
“That does make some sense.” Fang Jueyu nodded, “But you can’t keep delays the money you owe, right? I haven’t even charged interest on the 147 years of rent you owe me yet. If we calculate compound interest, it wouldn’t just be ten times more than this!”
“Not to mention, I have so many global assets to invest in. Even if I just put it in a bank for interest, it’s still a decent amount, isn’t it?”
“Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Fang, you’re absolutely right.” Right now, all they could do was agree.
“But it can’t go on like this. If you can’t pay the rent and government bond interest, I’ll consider reclaiming the principal. Who knows if you’ll even pay rent and interest in the future.” Fang Jueyu looked troubled.
“If that’s the case, you can clear out those 20,000 square kilometers of land for me. I plan to build the world’s largest film city there. Just so happen my existing film city needs more land, 20,000 square kilometers should be enough.”
“Mr. Fang, we can discuss this, don’t rush,” Yuan Huiguo panicked.
20,000 square kilometers of land, you can’t just clear it out as you say. That’s almost the entire economic and population hub of the East Kou country.
If it’s cleared, where would those people live? Where would those industries relocate to? How much would demolition and reconstruction cost?
“How about this, I’ll give you a suggestion, you don’t have to pay all the money at once, and I won’t charge you extra interest.”
“Please, Mr. Fang, go on,” they seemed to have found a lifeline.
“You can pay me the 46 trillion US dollars in installments, pay 2 trillion US dollars annually, and it’ll be cleared in a few decades. Plus, I’m quite patriotic. In the future, for Huaxia’s import and export of goods from your East Kou country, all tariffs will be waived, as a counteraction for the interest.”
“This…” Yuan Huiguo’s face turned ashen, not to mention whether they could even pay 2 trillion US dollars annually, their GDP is only a few trillion US dollars a year. If they take out half to repay debt, the country’s development would surely stagnate.
As for waiving tariffs, that was practically a free ride.
They absolutely couldn’t accept this either. Without tariffs, their fiscal revenue would be significantly less, making it even harder to repay this sum.
“Or how about this, see if you have any national treasures. I also have a hobby of collecting precious relics, and if you do, you can find a few thousand items.”
Kazama Suke was already finding it hard to stand. They did have national treasures, but could they just casually give them up as collateral?
“Do you have a better solution?” Fang Jueyu asked, spreading his hands.
They indeed had no better solution. Fang Jueyu wasn’t making them pay it all at once but offered this interest-free installment option, honestly, it was already quite lenient. Otherwise, just the unpaid rent interest over a century could practically buy out their entire country.
“Mr. Fang, we need to go back and have a good discussion, please give us some time.”
“Sure, I’m in no hurry, you can go back and think about it slowly, I’m planning to stay here for a few more days anyway.” Fang Jueyu waved, “Xiao Ai, help see off the President and Minister.”
“Yes, young master!”
Watching the two leave, the smile on Fang Jueyu’s face grew larger. It seemed these two were almost scared out of their minds by him. When the time came for him to get that meteorite back, it would probably be much easier.
“But for now, let’s figure out how to deal with Ryukawa Sukio.”
…
“Mr. President, are we really going to repay this debt with his suggested installment plan?” Yuan Huiguo asked.
“Do I look like an idiot?” Kazama Suke’s face darkened, “If we lose several trillion in income each year, our country won’t just stagnate, it might even regress.”
“Then what do we do?”
“Hmph, dead people don’t demand money!” Kazama Suke’s growing desire to kill was fueled by Fang Jueyu’s aggressiveness, “After all, he’s just an ordinary person, isn’t he? If he were in Huaxia, we’d really have no way, but now he’s in our East Kou country!”
