Chapter 409: He Who Knows the Current Affairs Is a Hero

Borneo Island.

Bo Ni in the north.

As one of the four remaining independent entities in Southeast Asia, economic conditions here are deteriorating rapidly.

The reason is very simple. Bo Ni is surrounded by the Borneo branch of Homo sapiens Company on three sides, and faces a certain big country across the sea. This tragic geographical situation of being sandwiched in the middle is no less than that of the Mobei region. They also feel that they are walking on thin ice. .

It could have relied on selling oil and natural gas from the oil fields, and then used the money to subsidize civilians, maintain high domestic welfare, and thereby stabilize internal affairs.

It all looks very nice.

However, they encountered a sapiens company that lacked great virtue.

Two years ago, Homo sapiens Company secretly drilled inclined wells and horizontal wells, and in less than two years, it drained away the oil and natural gas underground and undersea in Boni.

In September this year, explorers from the Boni Royal Petroleum Company finally discovered that the oil fields within the territory were exhausted.

At this time, due to the global economic crisis, Boni's tourism industry and offshore finance were also hit hard. After losing the core resource of oil and natural gas, their internal economic problems began to arise.

Although the Bo Ni royal family is extremely rich, just because the royal family is rich does not mean that the common people are also rich.

In the past, you could make money by selling oil and natural gas. The royal family would give out some leftovers, and the common people could also have enough to eat.

Now that the royal family's oilfield profits have disappeared, and the transformation of the tourism and financial industries has failed, the royal family has no income. For the time being, it can only maintain high internal welfare by resting on its laurels.

However, the smart people in the Boni royal family have discovered, especially King Bor, who is aware of the crisis and believes that this is not a long-term solution.

News of the depletion of oil fields was temporarily blocked by the royal family.

At this time, in the splendid palace, the seventy-year-old King Bor was having a small meeting with other core members of the royal family.

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Prince Jeffrey asked quickly.

Regarding this younger brother, Bol actually didn't want to talk to him at all.

Fortunately, Crown Prince Habib eased the atmosphere: "Uncle, don't worry, we will work out a solution."

Bol looked at everyone: "Now the royal family still has assets of 47.3 billion U.S. dollars. In addition, the finance department also holds 26.6 billion U.S. dollars in foreign exchange and 2.3 billion gold dollars in foreign exchange. This is all our assets."

Upon hearing this number, all the core members of the royal family frowned.

It seems that these assets add up to a lot, about US$78.5 billion.

However, this did not make them happy, because the pillar industry of Boni has collapsed. From now on, Boni's fiscal deficit will increase significantly.

With a local population of 465,000, plus hundreds of thousands of foreign workers from Annan and Tianzhu, Boni has no industry and can only rely on the half-dead tourism industry. It cannot make much money at all, nor can it provide many jobs.

To continue to maintain the current high welfare, tens of billions of dollars in fiscal expenditures are needed every year.

If we all rely on foreign exchange reserves, we can only support it for about 3 years. With the royal family's small treasury, it can only be extended to 7 years at most.

Obviously, members of the royal family are unwilling to use the royal family's small treasury to subsidize the common people.

In the past, there was no harm in sharing the income from the oil fields with the common people, and it could also win people's hearts.

Now that there is no income from the oil field, it is still difficult to maintain the capital chain unless the members of the royal family are all fools. You must know that there are more than 40 billion US dollars in the small treasury, but every penny is lost.

As a result, if we continue to distribute money to civilians, we will be cutting off our flesh to feed the hawks.

Prince Jeffrey, who lives an extremely luxurious life, was the first to jump out: "I will never agree to continue to subsidize those parasites. This is our money."

Others expressed their opinions equally.

These people are unanimously opposed to continuing to issue financial subsidies. After all, this already involves core interests.

Bol frowned: "If you don't say anything, how are you going to appease the civilians?"

"this……"

These people were immediately speechless. After all, the ordinary people in Boni have been fed up by them and are used to a high-welfare life. Now if they suddenly say no money will be given, most people will definitely feel resentful.

The feud between rice and rice will definitely happen in Bo Ni.

Boer, who doesn't want to be the Sun King, naturally understands that stopping welfare is self-destructive.

However, if he continues to pay benefits, his small treasury will suffer heavy losses, and he may even have nothing in the end, which is unacceptable to him.

Suddenly Jeffrey's eyes rolled, and an idea came to his mind: "How about we sell Bo Ni to Homo sapiens!"

"What?" Crown Prince Habi, regardless of his demeanor, asked with wide eyes, "Uncle, do you know what you are talking about?"

However, Jeffrey sneered: "Haha, Habib, are you worried about your position as king? You'd better think about one thing clearly. If you don't have money, whether you can continue to be the crown prince is still a question."

Gulu...Habi also reacted at this time.

yes! If Bo Ni goes bankrupt, it will either use the royal family's small treasury to hold on for a few more years, or the royal family will abscond with the money. Other than that, there won't be many options.

As for why it was sold to the Homo sapiens company instead of selling it to America or the Far East.

Anyone with any brains knows the location of Bo Ni, and it is next to the headquarters of Homo Sapiens Company. Whether America and Far East dare to take over is not yet mentioned.

As long as the Boni royal family dares to say that they want to sell their land to other forces, Homo sapiens company will let them all fly together on a land plane in a matter of seconds.

What's more, now that the Homo sapiens company has a lot of money and very good benefits, the common people in Boni will have much less opposition to becoming employees of the Homo sapiens company.

Jeffrey continued: "Selling the land in Bo Ni to Homo sapiens, we only need the Homo sapiens to retain the royal family's property and a special asylum qualification, and then we can move to Xiangjiang for investment and development."

A group of royal family members started discussing.

After some discussion, although he did not want to lose the throne, Bol also knew very well that this was the best plan at the moment.

The common people of Boni can continue to maintain a high-welfare life, while the royal family can leave with money. With tens of billions of dollars in assets, as long as they are well planned, they can protect the wealth of the family for at least three generations.

That night.

Bor was in the palace, meeting secretly with the person in charge of the Homo sapiens company in Bo Ni.

After more than a week of secret negotiations.

Finally, both parties reached an agreement.

Bol signed the "Boni Overall Asset Sale Agreement" and packaged and sold the entire Bo Ni to Homo sapiens. The conditions given by Homo sapiens were to allow the Bol family to take away all foreign exchange reserves as special compensation.

At the same time, it promised to provide the Bol family with a 50-year special asylum, so that they can become honorary employees who do not enjoy the benefits of Homo sapiens.

The palace was even reserved for the Bol family and they were allowed to freely return to the palace in Bo Ni to live there.

As the agreement was signed, both parties announced the incident on television.

The whole world seems to be surprised by this.

Although Bol explained the reason on TV, saying that the oil and natural gas resources in Bo Ni have been exhausted and can no longer maintain the high welfare life of the people. For the sake of the people, he can only "bear the pain" and sell Bo Ni to Homo sapiens.

But America didn't care. The New York Times immediately published an article with the title: "Evil giants swallow up Bo Ni, who will be next?" ]

Then major media and Internet giants in Europe and the United States stopped one after another and publicized the ambitions and crimes of Homo sapiens Corporation.

Not to be outdone, the Homo Sapiens Entertainment Division led a large number of Internet trolls to engage in verbal warfare with European and American media on the international Internet.

The Bor family, who had withdrawn from the game, secretly arranged for some members to buy real estate in Xiangjiang and prepare to establish the Bor Group and the Bor Foundation. They paid no attention to the public opinion confrontation between Sapiens and America.
