If you were the president, I wrote an image of the world as you would see it.

●If you were the president, I wrote an image of the world as you would see it.

We will explain the image to share with stakeholders what the Mete Foundation does.

Suppose you are the president of a country with a population of 100 million.

Your country still faces various economic problems and is struggling to achieve economic development. The national income will not rise either.

What can you do as president of a nation? I checked with the Ministry of Finance, but they say they don't have the financial resources. Then, the government cannot do anything, and we find ourselves in a difficult situation where we cannot provide humanitarian assistance to the people. If this were the case, I would be worried if I had any conscience, thinking that there is no point in taking the job of representing the nation and becoming president.

Now, let's think about how to solve the problem in such a situation. In other words, they are interested in international aid. Will you receive a loan from the World Bank or IMF? In addition, if there are no domestic financial resources, people will start thinking about foreign aid from various angles, such as whether ODA from the United States, Japan, etc. should include grant aid or loan aid. However, there are various restrictions on loans from the World Bank and IMF. In addition, when applying for ODA from the United States, Japan, etc., it often takes three to five years to apply for it, and a small amount of grant aid can be granted quickly if it is just one time, but it has already been done under the previous administration. Since we have received such support, it will take time to receive the next support.

Therefore, there is talk of a loan from China, but since the interest rate is high and foreign currency repayment is required in dollars, even if infrastructure is developed, if the country becomes unable to pay, its assets will be seized as collateral, which could lead to public sentiment. If domestic infrastructure were to be seized by Chinese companies, there could be a backlash as it would be seen as a debt trap.

In such a situation, you, the president, think about how to develop the country. Then I hear about a startup company I've never heard of that the Mete Foundation is offering tremendous support to.

At first, I couldn't believe the story and said, ``If you join and sign the agreement, you will be able to donate 10 billion euros to our country in about two months after signing the contract.''
``Japan's ODA budget is about 4 billion dollars a year, compared to about 30 billion dollars in the United States.''

The Mete Foundation will donate 10 billion euros to each member country. Speaking of 10 billion euros, it means donating 1.6 trillion yen in Japanese yen, so I think there is something behind this. Of course. If the president, the head of state, were to have his territory confiscated if something went wrong, he could end up going down in history as an infamous figure and bear a stigma. It's normal to think it's better to stay away from anything that seems dangerous.

However, if you listen, you will find that there are no demands for seizure of assets or collateralization of territory. I think there is such a good story. Now, let's investigate through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Then, the Mete Foundation noticed that it was listed on its website as having assets registered with the US Department of State in New York. Additionally, the attached document states that the U.S. Treasury holds $1.3 trillion in assets, so it would be best to check with the U.S. government to understand the status of the Mete Foundation's assets. Thinking this was the case, the President contacted the U.S. government through the U.S. Embassy to confirm the matter. By chance, I had a close relationship with the ambassador of the U.S. Embassy through economic and security cooperation, so he said, ``The Mete Foundation holds such a large amount of assets as U.S. Treasury assets.'' Are you sure?” I asked.

The U.S. Embassy then checked with relevant organizations in their home country and wrote a report.

The report comes from the Department of Defense and the Department of State and says, ``The Mete Foundation's asset status is good and there are no problems with transactions.'' It is understood that the U.S. Treasury holds more assets than publicly available information. did it.

After seeing the report from the US government, he became convinced that it was the truth about the Mete Foundation. He then contacted the Mete Foundation's operations staff and held a web video conference between the Mete Foundation and the president. At the beginning, the head of the Mete Foundation said, ``I will use my foundation's assets to support your country.'' The president responded, ``I see,'' but added, ``I still didn't think they would really give out 10 billion euros so easily and so quickly.''

Then the foundation said, ``When do you want to sign the contract? If we do, we will prepare a document right away.''

I was surprised at how quickly it developed. Normally, ODA from developed countries does not make much progress due to surveys and research.There is a small amount of research costs, and a consulting company designated by the supporting country comes, conducts some research, and then writes a report.

I spent more than a year on it, and then I started thinking about it.As president, I had no interest in ODA that would take a long time to be completed after my term of office ended.

In other words, during his term of office, he was waiting for a quick project that would allow him to receive substantial support.

As president, I was a little nervous, but I said, ``I would appreciate it if you could sign a contract with the Mete Foundation and promote our national project.''

The foundation said, ``Okay, we'll prepare everything quickly,'' and the web conference ended.

Receive the necessary documents by email and sign the contract.

All web interviews and documents will be sent using international courier service, so it is possible to contract with the main members of the Mete Foundation only through web contracts.

As president, I was confused: ``Why would a foundation that can donate 10 billion euros make the process so easy?'' However, since nothing in particular will be taken, as president, I have made the decision. .

After a while, I received a call from the Mete Foundation saying that the funds were ready. The Mete Foundation has also requested a web conference.

Explaining next steps.

Apparently, the euro credits were donated through the online banking system of an app called Metewallet.

He explained that by entering a password and ID, payments can be made to any bank in the world, so it can be used for trade payments. From now on, the Mete Foundation will continue to make donations through this wallet.

In addition, in order to promote the national project, the Mete Foundation requested that a national project promotion committee be established, including the government's national project officer and the president, and a place to discuss the national project with the Mete Foundation. be done.

Basically, it was a web conference, and the president spoke about various issues currently occurring in his country.

The need for subway construction and intercity high-speed railways, such as the problem of traffic congestion in cities with well-developed transportation infrastructure, and the need for very large investments in infrastructure construction, such as airport and port development projects to promote trade. Become. In addition, as part of the environmental improvement project, there were a number of problems that needed to be resolved, such as garbage and water issues.

He talked about all the issues. So, to solve all the problems, the Mete Foundation will invest money to complete the national project. However, we were asked to conclude a comprehensive contract with the government.

Additionally, the financial resources we handle from the Foundation are subject to federal laws and other regulations, so we are prohibited from requesting political bribes or exerting political pressure. If you just understand that, the foundation will take care of everything and invest the foundation's money to complete all the national projects. That's what it meant.

It is true that such conditions are mentioned, but in particular, there is no request for the government to pay for it or for the public to pay for it, so we asked the Mete Foundation to carry out the public investment project. The money invested by the Mete Foundation was not meant to be a loan, but could be used to purchase government bonds. In a sense, I understood it to be the same as construction bonds, which means that as long as the government approves, they can issue as many bonds as they like. However, I was worried about whether I would be able to redeem the loan once the redemption deadline was reached. When I asked what the president would do about this issue, he said that the Mete Foundation's purpose is to hold government bonds as collateral in order to issue its own digital currency, so there is no desire for them to be redeemed. be. In other words, the idea is to issue digital currency through government bonds and use that currency to build the country.

With just my signature, the president will be able to allocate funds to a national project that has been stagnant for decades and put it into motion. Domestic designated contractors have had more jobs and more employment opportunities. At the same time, the stable income provided helped solve the problem of deteriorating domestic security.
Young people started saying that they had dreams, and young people who had no expectations for the future started making public investments in infrastructure construction and real estate development in accordance with urban planning, and water, sewage, and electricity problems were also resolved. Once the issue was resolved, improvements in the environment for people's lives made rapid progress. As a result, domestic industry was revitalized and technology was accumulated, and domestic manufacturers gained strength and started exporting their products. I felt superior when I saw it being introduced.

The president looked back and remembered what happened a few years ago. At that time, a certain person came to visit me and gave me some incredible guidance.

However, as a result of believing in that proposal, the country's GDP is now increasing dramatically and the lives of the people are becoming more vibrant. Also, with the improved environment, the number of tourists from abroad has increased, and it can be said that the value of the country has increased. Looking back, until the president learned of this system, the country was short on funds, there was a lot of corruption among public servants, and in a sense there was a backlash from the private sector. In other words, it had become a habit for officials to demand bribes from citizens.

This was because the interests and salaries were not commensurate with each other, so many people tried to increase their income by demanding bribes, and the government was completely corrupt. However, after signing the contract with the Mete Foundation, by making more and more public investments as private investments, the government increased tax revenue to an extent it had never experienced before. As a result, civil servants' salaries and benefits have improved. To that end, a campaign was carried out to reform civil servants and eliminate corruption. In addition, severe penalties have been established for public servants who commit misconduct. As a result, fraud has been eradicated and people's trust in the government has increased.

This result was the result of our participation in the program of the Mete Foundation, which is a private foundation but has made continuous public investments.

I have overheard this from the Foundation, but the Foundation will be able to invest approximately 5 trillion euros in each member country over a 30-year period from 2020 to 2050. It is. However, he said that the condition was that all of this money be invested as project funds in national projects.

It is true that public investment will need to continue for 30 years to fully utilize this huge amount of capital. In addition, in order for the private sector to become economically prosperous, various project investments are made from sources other than foundations, and the people are energized.

For this reason, the ruling party led by the president was able to gain high support from the people and establish a long-term stable government. At that time, the president never expected that the small piece of information he received from the private sector would bring about such a big change.

But what is behind this foundation? That's what I thought, but I overheard it for a moment, but it seems like it's a donation source for 42 royal families around the world. I see, our country used to have a royal family, but now that we have a presidential system, the royal family has disappeared from the public stage, but the royal family, which has supported the nation since ancient times, is quietly supporting us today. To a living government

The president was overcome with emotion as he stared at the starry sky in the distance, thinking about the financial support he was receiving.

This story is strictly a simulation written from the perspective of ``if you were the president,'' but it is my dream as a global ambassador of the Mete Foundation to depict a world that looks like this.
