King Sha Mou met Lu Weidong in person and had a pleasant conversation.
Finally, the king asked Lu Weidong calmly: "I heard that Boss Lu is selling weapons and equipment. Is this true?"
"Yes! However, this is not important. We originally planned to promote our products, such as color TVs, cars, motorcycles, satellite phones, clothing and other products." Lu Weidong said with a smile.
The king listened and smiled: "Boss Lu, you are so humble! I have received news from the Pyramid Country, Baghdad, and Dubai. Your country is promoting the latest fighter jet, the Xiaolong fighter. Is that right?"
"Ha! No doubt! This is true! Does your country also need it urgently?" Lu Weidong asked with a smile.
The king fell silent. After a pause, he said solemnly: "If possible, we are willing to buy it."
"Okay!" Lu Weidong nodded and waited for the king to continue.
In Lu Weidong's view, there is a vague connection between Shah and Asu, and Afghanistan and the United States are secretly wooing each other, so they should not buy weapons from the motherland.
What Lu Weidong values is the consumer market here. After all, among the big dogs in the Middle East, only Sha Ren is doing well and has a prosperous economy.
There are hidden dangers in other areas, but the market in Sharen is the most stable.
The king paused and said with a smile: "Boss Lu, we welcome your products to enter the Chinese market. However, in return for the Hong Kong dollars we need, we also ask Boss Lu to assist our Yali Bank in Hong Kong."
Lu Weidong heard this and understood. He smiled and said: "That's for sure!"
The king nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Please ask Boss Lu to come to Xiangjiang and negotiate with our Yali Bank. Please!"
After speaking, the king warmly greeted Lu Weidong for tea.
Lu Weidong thanked him, took a sip of tea, stood up and said goodbye and left the royal living room.
Back at the Foreign Guests Hotel, Feng Changjun, Wei Qingshan, and Chuan Wa gathered around.
"Weidong, this king is calling...?" Feng Changjun looked curious.
Everyone has the same look.
Lu Weidong smiled and saw the general situation. After everyone listened, most of their curiosity disappeared.
Wei Qingshan touched his mouth and said expectantly: "Weidong, is there hope for the transaction?"
"Almost zero! There is Asu Ami behind this person, and there are many weapons to choose from. They don't like our stuff! However, this country has developed over the years and has rich wealth, and it will be even more so in the future. Here is
The market is what we need." Lu Weidong said.
Wei Qingshan was immediately discouraged after hearing this.
Chuanwa on the side asked: "Master, where will we go to the next stop?"
"Haha! No rush! Let's wait two days before setting off again." Lu Weidong smiled and waved his hands, letting everyone rest.
After lunch, Lu Weidong took Chuanwa and his group to go shopping.
The security in Sha's capital is very good, so this time, Lu Weidong brought everyone out to relax.
Along the way, we visited temples, historical sites, and shopping malls. In the evening, we entered an antique street in the city center.
Lu Weidong smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, if there is something you like, I will buy it for you. After you go in, you can pick whatever you want."
Everyone became happy after hearing this, and walked quickly inside with a smile.
Lu Weidong's goal is the Crown of Thorns.
The target of Feng Changjun and others is the antiques that people from the motherland have wandered over, hoping to pick them up and use them as family heirlooms.
Everyone entered the first store with a smile...
"God of Cookery."
"One of the Five Eyes and Six Access Techniques: Yin and Yang Eyes. (Wisdom Eyes)"
"Level 61 of the tenth level of Yin-Yang Eyes!"......
"God of Cookery."
"One of the Five Eyes and Six Access Techniques: Yin and Yang Eyes. (Wisdom Eyes)"
"Level 62 of the tenth level of Yin-Yang Eyes!"......
"God of Cookery."
"One of the Five Eyes and Six Access Techniques: Yin and Yang Eyes. (Wisdom Eyes)"
"Level 80 of the tenth level of Yin-Yang Eyes!"......
The Golden Book is turbulent and full of rewards.
Lu Weidong put down the Holy Crown of Thorns in his hand and sighed in his heart, he really came to the right place.
Chuanwa was reminded by Lu Weidong and bought a bronze statue. This is a Maitreya Buddha statue from the Ming Dynasty.
Feng Changjun picked up a porcelain vase, which was pure white and also came from the Ming Dynasty.
Wei Qingshan was lucky and picked up a jade, which was probably from the Han Dynasty.
Everyone else also gained something. Among them, the most discerning brothers and sisters Li Dushan and Lu Duling picked up a pair of rosary beads, a magic weapon from the motherland.
"Let's go!" Lu Weidong greeted everyone with a smile and left Antique Street.
Although, under Lu Weidong's observation, there are many valuable and precious things inside that are worth collecting.
But what does this have to do with him?
At the moment, he has no simple thoughts.
In his mind, many works of art are just a bunch of shit!
Artificially pushing up prices, creating rare items, and dividing the world into poor and rich, this kind of art is said to be priceless.
As a benchmark, it divides the world into two and is imprinted in the long river of time, so that the poor can never stand up and make the decision, while the rich flock to it and compete for it. It can be said to be the devil's box - Pandora's box. Two days passed quickly, and Brack finally came. Two people came with him, one was the vice president of Mobil Oil Headquarters, and the other was a congressman.
The two of them walked into the living room under the protection of a group of bodyguards.
"Boss Lu, this is Congressman Elken, and this is President Ryan." Brak introduced to Lu Weidong.
Congressman Elken stepped forward, held Lu Weidong's hands, and said with a smile: "Boss Lu, I have heard of you for a long time! In the words of your motherland, we are destined to meet you thousands of miles away. Boss Lu, we are destined! See you,
I'm very happy."
Lu Weidong smiled back and said: "Sir, Congressman, it's an honor to meet you. This is something worth being happy about."
Elken smiled and nodded. After that, Ryan stepped forward, held Lu Weidong's palm, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, we look forward to cooperating with you!"
"I wish you all! Welcome from my heart!" Lu Weidong smiled.
After greetings, the three of them took their seats.
This time, Brack was not even qualified to sit down. He stood behind Congressman Elken and Vice President Ryan, with a serious face, watching the conversation seriously.
The conversation lasted for a long time, lasting six hours.
This is a conversation that will go down in history!
It will have a great impact on the future.
Researchers from all parties all mentioned this conversation, which was the beginning of exchanges between the East and the West and marked the arrival of peace...
Two days later, Lu Weidong and his party left the Middle East, took a plane, and arrived in Africa.
After traveling around Africa, they stopped briefly in South Africa. A month later, Lu Weidong and his party returned to Xiangjiang.
Fleet, within a special car.
"God of Cookery."
"One of the Five Eyes and Six Access Techniques: Yin and Yang Eyes. (Wisdom Eyes)"
"Level 98 of the tenth level of Yin-Yang Eyes!"......
"God of Cookery."
"One of the Five Eyes and Six Access Techniques: Yin and Yang Eyes. (Wisdom Eyes)"
"Level 99 of the tenth level of Yin Yang Eyes!"......
"God of Cookery."
"One of the Five Eyes and Six Access Techniques: Yin and Yang Eyes. (Wisdom Eyes)"
"The 100th level of the tenth level of Yin-Yang Eyes!"......
Lu Weidong opened his eyes and handed the Crown of Thorns to Chuan Wa.
"Go back and hang up in the square formation." Lu Weidong explained.
This time, he brought back three Holy Thorn Crowns and prepared to test them to determine whether his inner thoughts were correct.
"Yes!" Chuanwa nodded and agreed.
The convoy entered the 533 factory, and suddenly, firecrackers went off.
Crack! After a burst of noise, a group of welcoming teams gathered around from all directions. Everyone cheered enthusiastically and applauded like thunder.
Director Li, Director Nie, Factory Director Liu, and Director Ye walked out of the crowd and waved to Lu Weidong's special car with excited expressions on their faces.
The motorcade stopped immediately, and Lu Weidong and others got out of the car, met and hugged Director Li and others.
Finally, family members came over and started asking questions with happy faces.
Lu Weidong hugged Ding Qiunan and picked up little Lu Ming.
The little guy has gained a lot of weight, but the only thing is that he is still as timid as ever.
The little guy grabbed Lu Weidong's collar with both hands and didn't dare to let go. There was a frightened look on his little face.
There was no other way. Lu Weidong held the child in his arms, and after chatting with everyone for a while, he waved to the welcoming team to thank him.
After passing through numerous figures and waving repeatedly, Lu Weidong and his party passed through the queue and entered the reception hall.
Ding Qiunan carried the child over, leaving Lu Weidong chatting with Director Li.
Afterwards, the reception banquet was held, and Director Li and others came to welcome Lu Weidong and his family.
After the banquet, everyone dispersed to rest.
Director Li and Director Nie pulled Lu Weidong into the office and started discussing.
"Twenty million barrels of oil! Weidong, you are so courageous! This... this will cost 600 million US dollars in foreign exchange in the future! After hearing this, the higher-ups held several meetings in a row, and they were all worried about your reckless behavior.
!" Director Nie kindly reminded.
Lu Weidong knew that he could not escape the cross-examination, so he was already prepared, so he smiled and said: "Uncle Nie, don't worry! At the moment, Kowloon Bank already has enough foreign exchange reserves. Now, we have opened up the Western European and Aramco markets. In the future, cars, motorcycles, etc.
The product will be sold globally, and the US$600 million will be recovered soon."
"These are not important! What is important is that in the future, the price of oil will rise ten to twenty times. By then, we will save this oil! It is time to put it to use!"
"Think about it, as global oil rises, product prices will inevitably skyrocket, impacting the international market, and an economic crisis will inevitably occur. It will affect the national destiny of various countries. But we have cheap oil reserves, which can reduce the impact of the crisis. Ensure that the national economy continues to take off and occupy a favorable situation.
”
"So, my suggestion is to build a Guojia reserve oil base. In the future, we will eat whatever oil the market puts into it."
"In addition, I am planning to build a super refinery, a 100,000-ton ethylene plant, rubber and other projects to strengthen the chemical industry of the motherland."
"Two leaders, in my opinion, in the future, there are only two weapons that will determine the national economy, one is food and the other is oil. As long as these two aspects do not fall behind, we will be invincible."
Lu Weidong's words made Director Li and Director Nie think deeply.
There is silence all around, you can hear a needle drop.
Lu Weidong slowly lit a cigarette and started smoking.
The agreement has been signed, and there is no turning back. Now is not the time to retreat. Otherwise, when the oil boom begins in 1972, Lu Weidong will definitely regret it.
In 1972, when the Middle East war broke out, the oil giant Shah was attracted by Aramco, and only US dollars were accepted for oil transactions.
Aramco abandoned gold and linked it to the U.S. dollar and linked it to oil. From then on, gold was freely traded and gold rose sharply.
Oil is pegged to the U.S. dollar, and oil majors have joined forces to control oil exports. Oil has soared from three dollars per barrel to a maximum of sixty dollars per barrel.
The global market was suddenly devastated and sluggish for two decades. Countries that relied on oil reorganized their industrial sectors and countless industry bankruptcies. The global market was hit hard and almost collapsed.
Of course, it was Ami who reaped the profits, and Asu who suffered severe disability.
It took more than ten years for this to become apparent.
The forced Asu had to export domestic gold to survive.
Director Nie was silent for a long time. He scratched the back of his head and said to Lu Weidong: "Weidong, your words are based on the surge in oil. But what if...?"
Director Nie did not continue. His attitude was very clear that he was not optimistic about Lu Weidong's plan.
Lu Weidong smiled and said: "Uncle Nie! In that case, why not take a gamble? This is 50% sure! Besides, the bank has a lot of foreign exchange, but it is just waste paper! It is better to hoard useful materials to prepare for
Act of God."
Director Li listened and nodded repeatedly: "I agree with the rest of the words! We need to purchase food! The more, the better! Of course, other things are also needed."
"No problem! I promise to purchase two million tons of grain in the international market every year! As for other aspects, I will provide technology." Lu Weidong smiled.
Director Li and Director Nie looked at each other and looked at each other.
At this moment, the two of them felt Lu Weidong's determination. This oil storage operation would never be revoked.
After the two of them pondered for a while, Director Li looked at Director Nie. Director Nie nodded awkwardly and said to Lu Weidong: "Okay! I will report your ideas to the top and fight for it at the same time."
"Thank you, Uncle Nie!" Lu Weidong said seriously.
"Ha! I will do my best! As you said, if the foreign exchange is not spent, it is just a pile of waste paper. Okay! I called. Director Li will discuss with you the recent foreign guests." Director Nie
Standing up, he shook hands with Lu Weidong and hurried away.
Director Li and Lu Weidong returned to the room and sat down.
"With Lao Nie's support! I think even if the higher-ups have ideas, they will be passed. Wei Dong, you have to be careful! Don't mess up the matter! When the loss is too big, you can't repair the holes, it will be troublesome
Already." Director Li warned.
"I know! I know it well!" Lu Weidong smiled.
"That's good!" Director Li nodded, then smiled and said: "The arms business is good! Now, there is an endless stream of foreign guests coming to visit. Many people asked, can we produce large aircraft? After knowing it, the superiors gave us an order
Order, we hope to develop our own passenger aircraft! Do you have confidence in this??"
Lu Weidong listened and said with a smile: "I already have a plan!"
"Really?" Director Li's eyes lit up, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Of course! I've been thinking about this." Lu Weidong said with a smile.
