Ya..here's a 20 million dollar line of credit, however we insist that we help you spend it on projects that benefit us, like infrastructure.

That's a little different than dealing with ministers who actually think they're of some importance in the whole scheme of things and want to be be bribed at every turn of the road. When in actuality they couldn't run a Seven Eleven.

Correct. Thank you for making my point EZ. China needs KRY on the Las Cristinas project because we own the MOC. They have no need to "share" future projects with us because of our shrewd Venezuelan negotiating skills. They have the money and Hugo's favor. That is all they need.
