Mr. Keqin didn''t leave immediately after being rejected. The reform of the eastern consortium needs a lot of funds, but now in this special period, private lending and fund-raising are not as easy as in previous years.


    The warming of foreign trade made the merchants of the Empire feel the happiness that federal merchants felt three years ago. As long as they do business related to foreign trade, they are almost making money.


    The only difference is to earn more and earn less!


    Although the federal government suffered heavy losses after the financial tsunami, their policies could be said to have no major problems before that, and the idea of occupying a dominant position in international trade is unusual.


    The imperial Ministry of foreign affairs and the newly established Ministry of foreign trade directly used these policies, not only the official tax rebate for exported goods, but also higher export subsidies for some special goods.


    These special products are not high-end goods, but some common goods, such as blankets.


    After tax rebates and subsidies, these ordinary commodities have strong competitiveness in the international market. In some developed countries, the terminal sales price of these products is even lower than the manufacturing cost of similar products in these countries.


    People are still in a relatively basic understanding of the concept of international trade war, and have not fully felt the constructive and destructive impact of trade.


    Under such circumstances, the empire is dumping, and some small countries are dumping cheap products to the Empire. Every businessman is discussing things related to international trade.


    It is basically impossible to borrow money from them. No one will lend their golden eggs to others to make a fortune. They only eat some insignificant interest.


    The biggest problem of the eastern consortium so far is that the most important members of the consortium are almost retail giants. It''s not that they don''t make money now, but they earn much less than foreign trade.


    Capital will never become gentle. It will always eat people. It will not only eat people, but also eat the same kind to strengthen itself.


    If the eastern consortium fails to keep up with the times and lags behind in this wave, they are likely to face stronger internal competition in the absence of external profits.


    Therefore, the reform must be carried out to cut off some businesses that are not profitable at present, stabilize the main profit channels and develop overseas trade at the same time, so as not to be lost too far by other giants.


    Both the southern commercial bank and the imperial central bank are willing to give sufficient loans to the eastern consortium, but their requirements are also somewhat excessive. In addition to higher interest rates, they also hope to obtain a certain proportion of shares of the eastern consortium as a condition for signing, which the eastern consortium is unwilling to bear.


    So things have returned to the origin, which is also a relatively simple place, that is, lack of money.


    The popularity of Otis city tells people that gambling can really get rich overnight. Of course, more people lose their money. If the casinos in Otis city are summarized as "small gambling", then the mining industry in the west is "big gambling".


    In the past, when people talked about upstarts, they would inevitably think of the mine owners who roamed the West. They bet hundreds of thousands on an exploration result.


    After winning the bet, it''s worth millions. Losing the bet is just a new start. This unique casino in the West has been attracting speculators from all sides to spend a lot of money here.


    Mr. Cochin wouldn''t risk gambling, but he saw a sure bet, that is, the mineral resources in the yagur mountains.


    These mineral deposits that have been explored and discovered and have been mined for a short time represent hundreds of millions of wealth. As long as they can get the development license of any mineral resources, banks and hot money in society will be willing to give them a lot of reception.


    The fact is that it is so interesting that when a person needs money, it is difficult for him to wait for a helping hand.


    But when he had money and didn''t need to borrow, hands were stretched out to him everywhere, trying to lend him money.


    As long as we have the development license, the reform problem that the eastern consortium stopped due to lack of funds can be solved, which will make the eastern consortium rise to a higher level among the many consortia in the Empire.


    Even if there was no good news from schnauder and boworth, Mr. Cochin still didn''t leave the state of ambillo. He was still looking for opportunities.


    One day, he sat in the cafe by the side of the road and looked at the film crew in the distance. When he was thinking about some problems, the position on the right in his line of sight suddenly darkened, and a figure sat on his table,


    The dynamic shadow made him a little distracted. He took a sip of coffee to declare his sovereignty. "Sorry, this table is occupied. You can change it."


    But the figure did not move, but asked the waiter to bring her a cup of coffee,


    Mr. Cochin''s pupils contracted and focused slowly, and he didn''t really observe the woman until about two or three seconds later,


    It looks like she''s in her forties and well maintained. From her clothes and some accessories, it can be seen that this lady''s identity is certainly unusual.


    There are few gemstones produced in the source area of the agate River on the market. In the aristocratic period, they had dug up almost all those gemstones.


    A big red gem necklace pendant is enough to bankrupt a small and micro enterprise, but now it hangs around the woman''s neck, not even the best thing on her.


    At this time, the waiter just brought the lady''s coffee. Mr. Cochin immediately filled his face with a smile. He looked at the lady and said to the waiter, "this cup is mine. I should apologize to the lady for my recklessness."


    The lady immediately smiled, "Mr. Cochin, if I guessed right, you may not remember who I am!"


    In fact, what the lady said was also true. Mr. Cochin didn''t recognize who the lady was at all. He had seen too many women. These women are often embellished by men. If there is nothing special, it is difficult to leave a deep impression on him.


    But at this time, it is somewhat embarrassing to be said.


    He chuckled twice. It seemed that the laughter was not as dry as expected. "Then, distinguished lady, can you give me a chance to know you again?"


    The lady also smiled, took a sip of coffee and said her name, "dilsina timamont!". She put down the coffee cup in her hand, naturally focused on her wrists, crossed her legs, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Mr. Cochin with a slight arrogance and smile.
