That pattern is a golden apple!
How can it be!
Jiang Chen's first reaction was that he thought he had seen it wrong and wanted to confirm the pattern on the ring again, but Carmen had already let go of her hand. Because of the angle, he couldn't see the front of the ring.
"When the review process is completed, the US$1 billion will be transferred to your company's account. Of course, I believe there will be no problems. To celebrate the success of our cooperation, can I invite you to lunch?" Carmen laughed. said.
"It's an honor." Jiang Chen smiled politely, hiding the shock in his heart behind the smile.
Golden apple? Why
Is there any hidden secret between the Rothschild family and the Golden Apple? No... But that golden apple is clearly in the U-235 submarine. From the diary of the Third Reich's official, it can be seen that this golden apple should be used by the Third Reich as the "last trump card" "Protect. How could a Jewish family come into contact with this thing
Did Hitler snatch the golden apple from their hands? No, that doesn't make sense...
Suddenly, a strange look flashed across Jiang Chen's face.
He suddenly found that he was really bored worrying about this kind of thing.
Whatever that empire may have been plotting, that history is now 70 years old. He knew clearly from the diary that the owner of the golden apple did not understand how to use that thing until the last moment. Although that country may have unilaterally received some black technologies, they have also been lost in the long river of history.
Carmen didn't notice the abnormality on Jiang Chen's face, and warmly invited Jiang Chen to sit in his special car. The black bodyguard consciously sat in the driver's seat, while his secretary sat in the passenger seat.
Although the bodyguard didn't say a word the whole time, Jiang Chen smelled a hint of danger from him.
This person is very strong, at least on the same level as Nick. But this man was different from Nick's taciturn and reserved self. The whole person's murderous aura is in an undisguised state, and the whole person is like a war machine.
It seems that the bodyguard of the Rothschild family is not a simple person.
Jiang Chen and Carmen sat in the back row. The two of them chatted endlessly along the way. Carmen's Chinese is very good, even better than that guy Roberts. Also very good at talking.
Soon, the car arrived at the destination - Catalan Restaurant.
This restaurant is somewhat famous among the upper class in Hong Kong. You can see its extraordinary quality from the elegant decoration and the elegant temperament of the waiters. Seeing the respectful expression of the waiter who greeted the two of them towards Carmen, Jiang Chen suspected that this restaurant should also be one of the properties owned by the Rothschild family.
Walking into a private room, after ordering, the waiter brought the exquisite dishes. The two of them were eating and chatting.
"Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered the bet between us. I still owe you a Maybach EX." While elegantly dismembering the Mediterranean red shrimp on the plate. Carmen said.
When the contract was signed, Carmen made a bet with Jiang Chen. If Jiang Chen can deliver the goods before May, he will give Jiang Chen a Maybach ex as a gift—limited to 5 units sold worldwide.
Jiang Chen was slightly startled.
Sigh, he almost forgot about this.
"I wonder if Mr. Jiang will be free in October?" Carmen said with a smile.
"I can't tell, what's the matter?" Jiang Chen asked.
"At the Munich Auto Show in October, Daimler will participate in the auto show as a sponsor. The five Maybach EXs will be on display at the auto show, and one of them will belong to you. If Mr. Jiang has time, I have one here An invitation letter.”
"Even if I don't have time, I will still make time to participate." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Carmen also smiled slightly. He was obviously very satisfied with Jiang Chen's acceptance of the invitation.
Lunch is coming to an end. Carmen put down her fork, picked up the tablecloth gracefully and wiped her mouth.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Jiang, do you mind bringing up business matters during meal time?"
"Of course not. Discussing business at the dinner table is one of the traditions of China." Jiang Chen said.
"Then let me get straight to the point. Although the Rothschild family's industry is huge, its foundation is still in the banking industry. I heard that Futureman International has just undertaken a large project worth tens of billions of dollars. I wonder if you need a little help? A small favor?" Carmen said with a smile.
"Oh? I wonder what kind of help it is?" Jiang Chen asked with interest and knowingly.
"A loan of US$8 billion, with a five-year term and an annual interest rate of 4.15%. I wonder if Mr. Jiang is interested in this loan?"
The annual interest rate of 4.15% can be said to be very favorable compared to the 4.28% annual interest rate offered by several other banks that Jiang Chen contacted. Don’t underestimate this 0.13% gap, for a large loan approaching tens of billions. Even a 0.1% interest rate fluctuation means a fluctuation of tens of millions of dollars.
"Eight billion US dollars?" Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
"If Mr. Jiang has any objections to the amount, we can discuss it and then make adjustments." Seeing that Jiang Chen did not give a reply, Carmen added.
Eight billion dollars is simply not enough. But few banks are willing to lend more than tens of billions of dollars to Future Tech. Even if a few banks agree, they have put forward additional conditions such as showing the specific purpose of the loan and listing it on Nasdaq.
He was really sleepy and gave him a pillow. Jiang Chen thought about it for a moment and then came up with an idea.
"I'm afraid eight billion US dollars is not enough. I wonder if Mr. Carmen is interested in doing a bigger business?" Looking at Carmen, Jiang Chen smiled.
"Of course I'm interested. I wonder what Mr. Jiang's proposal is?"
"A loan of 30 billion U.S. dollars, guaranteed by 99% of Futureman Technology shares, for three years." Jiang Chen calmly dropped a bombshell.
Carmen's pupils tightened and she held her breath, but she soon regained her gentle and gentle expression.
Jiang Chen looked at the change in the expression on his face with great satisfaction.
He knew that Carmen was already tempted.
After a long silence, Carmen slowly spoke.
"No problem, we are very interested in artificial intelligence technology and are optimistic about your company's prospects in this field. However, this US$30 billion is not a small sum. I am very curious, how can you pay it off in three years? At present, the market share of Future Man 1.0 is close to saturation. With the current speed of technology obsolescence, it may not be that easy for your company to further expand its profitability, right?"
Jiang Chen was surprised. He really didn't expect Carmen to agree so simply. As he said, this $30 billion is not a small amount of money. Although the Rothschild family's fortune is large, it was not brought about by strong winds.
"That's my problem. But I have a hunch that I might be able to pay off the loan in less than three years." Jiang Chen smiled and did not answer Carmen's question directly.
There are still more than fifty years before the emergence of rudimentary artificial intelligence. Even if the speed of scientific research in this world is faster than that of the apocalyptic world due to various factors such as the diversified political landscape, it is unlikely that this technological gap will be overcome within ten years. Because the advent of primary artificial intelligence is not only a technological progress in the IT field, but also the comprehensive result of technological progress in sociology, psychology, humanities and social sciences, as well as biology, medicine and other aspects.
In the absence of Jiang Chen's public artificial intelligence database, in terms of the field of artificial intelligence, it is impossible to surpass Future Man 1.0. Therefore, Carmen's worries did not hold up at all in a short period of time.
However, relying solely on the profitability of Futureman Technology, there is definitely no way to pay off this loan within three years. But will Jiang Chen lack ways to make money? He had no doubts about his ability to repay the loan.
Seeing that Jiang Chen wasn't going to reveal anything, Carmen didn't ask any more questions.
"How about an interest rate of 4.5%? This is the most favorable condition I can offer. Although the interest rate for large loans is generally favorable, that is only if the other party can provide corresponding assets as security. Forgive me Frankly speaking, your company is temporarily unable to come up with the assets to guarantee these 30 billion US dollars." Carmen said cautiously.
Lending this money to Jiang Chen was undoubtedly an adventure.
"No problem, deal." Jiang Chen replied without hesitation.
People in the future will need money, and a lot of money. The base of the Pannu Islands has been obtained, all development will be accelerated, and the technology of the wasteland will continue to be introduced to the world through the future world.
Although this huge sum of 30 billion US dollars is enough to buy ten aircraft carriers, there is still a big gap if he wants to complete his blueprint for a technological empire.
What puzzled Jiang Chen was why Carmen...or the Rothschild family had so much confidence in him that they lent him the loan without hesitation.
This is 30 billion! Not Zimbabwe dollars, not Thai baht, but US dollars!
The only thing that made Jiang Chen a little strange was that he couldn't see any hesitation in Carmen's calm and elegant smile.
Jiang Chen's confidence stems from his confidence in the wasteland's technological resources, but what exactly does Carmen rely on? Even the Rothschild family, how many 30 billion do they have
Although he was very grateful to Carmen for his help, he always felt that there was something unusual about this matter. (.)
