0785 Hong Kong dollar pegged to oil operation begins
Lu Weidong nodded and said nothing.
Director Li paused and then said to Lu Weidong: "This Spring Festival, I hope you will go back."
"This is exactly what I expected! Is there a mission?" Lu Weidong asked.
Director Li shook his head slightly and said: "I'm probably asking about the future international economic prospects! You have more say than anyone else about this."
"Understood! I'll prepare immediately." Lu Weidong said.
Director Li nodded and said with a smile: "I'll go back with you! By the way, take a plane or a train?"
"Of course it's a plane!" Lu Weidong smiled.
Director Li hesitated and said: "The higher ups hope you take the train! The plane is afraid of accidents."
Lu Weidong smiled and said: "This is rare in history! Don't worry! We have to believe in the quality of our large aircraft."
Director Li nodded and sighed: "For one year, the international market has been unable to open up. We only produce large military transport aircraft. When will this end?"
Since the oil country Abu Labi ordered one, then the Pyramid State ordered one, and then someone from Saudi Arabia ordered three. The total sales were only more than 100 million US dollars, which made everyone a little disappointed.
After that, it switched to specializing in the production of large military transport aircraft.
In the past six months, twelve have been delivered to the army, basically meeting the needs.
Lu Weidong smiled and said: "There is no rush! The market is wary of new products. However, a distance will tell you the power, and time will tell your people. Soon, they will understand that our large aircraft are most suitable for long-term passenger transportation."
Tomorrow, I plan to open a route in South America, and we need to mention this above."
Director Li nodded and said with a smile: "This is a good thing!"
The two discussed for a long time, Director Li left and went back to prepare.
Lu Weidong also told the news to the people around him, and everyone was happy after hearing it.
Especially people like Ah Er and Ah San who have not been back for a long time, their faces are full of excitement.
Lu Weidong held a meeting and specially studied the list of personnel on duty. Jian Dazhuang, Lu Zhilian, Expert Li, Dr. Gao, Manager Gao and other Xiangjiang locals assisted Chen Xiaobing and Feng Gangjun in managing matters during the Spring Festival.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, a group of people were divided into two groups and took two flights to come north.
"Why are we divided into two batches? By the way, why didn't we talk about Chuan Wa and Xiang Yang?" Ding Qiunan looked around and sat down slowly, feeling a little unhappy.
The two of them were apprentices, but they were not with them, which made Ding Qiunan a little dissatisfied.
Liu Yu, Miss Xiao Dan, and Li Hanlian looked at each other and hurriedly spoke out to comfort Ding Qiunan.
Lu Weidong was holding little Lu Ming. When he saw Ding Qiunan losing his temper, he had to explain.
Ding Qiunan's brows knitted together after hearing this. She snatched little Lu Ming into her arms and waved her hands to Lu Weidong: "Okay! Okay! I'm too lazy to take care of it! You go talk to Feng Changjun and the others! Don't disturb me."
We sisters talk about our thoughts."
Liu Yu, Miss Xiao Dan, and Li Hanlian all laughed after hearing this.
Lu Weidong had no choice but to leave his seat with a smile and come towards the back.
"What? Did Qiu Nan tell you?" Feng Changjun said with a smile.
Lu Weidong sat down and said with a wry smile: "There is nothing we can do! Qiu Nan has been very irritable recently."
Feng Changjun and Wei Qingshan nodded, and the three of them started chatting.
Three hours later, the plane landed at Sijiucheng Airport and everyone got off the plane.
As soon as he exited the cabin, Lu Weidong saw many people standing together on the ground waiting.
Headed by the big leaders and others, in front, there is a group of children holding flowers and looking forward to it.
The clothes of these children no longer look patchy and poor.
At present, the children are all wrapped in uniform cotton clothes, which are brand new and dazzling and as thick as little fat sheep.
"Don't look away! It's you we are welcoming!" Director Li said softly, with a serious look on his face.
Lu Weidong suddenly came to his senses. He hurriedly handed little Lu Ming to Ding Qiunan and quickly got off the car ladder.
"Meet all the leaders!" Lu Weidong hurriedly gave a military salute.
The big leader waited for everyone to return the gift, and then everyone stepped forward to shake hands warmly.
A group of children presented flowers, and Ding Qiunan and others took them in their hands with expressions of joy on their faces.
Everyone was treated as a foreign guest, which made everyone feel filled with emotion, surprise and joy...
Lu Weidong stayed in Sijiucheng for half a month. After the Lantern Festival, he took the train south and got off at Huizhou Station. After visiting his grandparents, he stayed for a week and then went south.
In the past few years, Lu Weidong has sent people to deliver materials and money to the two old people. Now, the children under the two old people are very filial, which is very good.
Perhaps Lu Weidong could bring his two elders to the south to enjoy their happiness, but he still gave up the idea.
As the saying goes, it’s hard to leave your homeland! Elders like Lao Er still like to stay in their familiar circles. Being suddenly far away from their hometown and acquaintances may be a kind of torture for them. If things go on like this, there will be a
This kind of spiritual emptiness will cause the whole person to age quickly.
This may be the fate of the people of the motherland!
It is hard to leave the homeland, and the fallen leaves return to their roots, a mark that is imprinted deep in the spirit...
Back in Luohu, Lu Weidong immediately got busy. After some preparations, he took Chuan Wa, Jian Dazhuang, Feng Changjun, Wei Qingshan, Li Dashan, Zhang Jin, Ghost Eye Zhang Erye and others to start their trip to the Middle East again.
.
The senior brothers and sisters of Longhu Mountain have returned to Longhu Mountain after their mission expired.
The higher-ups still had the option of sending someone, but they were blocked by Lu Weidong.
He got along with the Longhushan brothers and sisters in an ordinary way, and he did not have a good impression of such a famous sect.
This time, naturally, I firmly reject this kind of gilded character.
In the morning, a group of people boarded the plane, and at noon, the plane landed in the capital of Libya.
This time, Lu Weidong came fully prepared. What he wanted to see was the famous Colonel Card.
After checking into the hotel, Lu Weidong took a short rest and then started shopping with everyone.
"God of Cookery."
"One of the Five Eyes and Six Powers: Divine Eye."
"Level 61 of the first level of Yin-Yang Eyes!"......

"God of Cookery."
"One of the five eyes and six powers: Divine Eye!"
"Level 62, the first level of Yin-Yang Eyes!"......
"God of Cookery."
"One of the Five Eyes and Six Powers: Divine Eye."
"Level 70, the first level of Yin-Yang Eyes!"......
With full harvest and the blessing of spiritual energy, Lu Weidong has entered the five-thousand-meter realm of heavenly power.
Within five thousand meters, this is his world, Lu Weidong.
After two days of traveling, Lu Weidong finally received the news of being interviewed by Colonel Card.
This guy is indeed arrogant. At the moment, the only one who can make Lu Weidong wait patiently is Colonel Ka.
"Friends who have come from afar, welcome to Tripoli. I sincerely hope you will have a pleasant trip in our capital." Colonel Ka loudly expressed his welcome in an exciting tone.
Colonel Ka has a romantic poet temperament in him. Perhaps, his words in front of you are a reflection of his character.
Lu Weidong smiled back and shook hands with Colonel Card.
The two held hands together, and Colonel Ka used a little force. He smiled and said: "The car king of Xiangjiang, the big banker of Xiangjiang with a red background, may I ask, Mr. Lu, what is your mission in coming to Tripoli?"
Lu Weidong smiled and said: "We are here to ask for cooperation! In addition, if you are willing, we will purchase your country's oil on a large scale."
"Ha! You are right what I thought! Boss Lu, you are here to buy oil again! This is a good thing! Please sit down!" After Colonel Ka finished speaking, he turned around, walked to the main seat and sat down.
After Lu Weidong waited for him to sit down, he sat down next to the sofa.
Colonel Ka is still talented, no matter how mixed his reputation is in the rest of his life, he is a huge controversial figure.
However, under his leadership, Tripoli was the first to lift Guo Jia out of poverty in Africa. Perhaps only the people of Tripoli understand what he has done.
"Tell me about it! Boss Lu! How much do you want to buy?" Colonel Ka said with a smile.
"About 50 million barrels of oil!" Lu Weidong laughed.
After hearing this, Colonel Ka shook his head and said: "Too many! Almost all the oil in the international market has been swallowed up by you Guo Jia. To be honest, we don't even want to sell it to you."
Lu Weidong smiled slightly and said: "Excuse me, please tell me the conditions!"
Colonel Ka smiled and said calmly: "What I lack most right now is weapons! Anti-aircraft weapons! Are you willing to sell them?"
"Yes!" Lu Weidong smiled.
"Oh?" Colonel Ka became interested, and he immediately said: "It's your real second-generation air defense weapon! I heard that it has reached the leading position in the world."
"Yes! It can be sold! However, the value is a bit expensive!" Lu Weidong said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter! We have a lot of oil! We in Tripoli hold the largest share of Africa's exports!" the Colonel said proudly.
"Each set of anti-aircraft ballistics is worth one billion Hong Kong dollars! Moreover, there are additional conditions." Lu Weidong said.
"One billion Hong Kong dollars?" Colonel Ka's face changed slightly, and he paused.
After that, he suddenly said angrily: "Boss Lu, are you kidding me? Is it so expensive?"
Lu Weidong smiled slightly and said slowly: "This is the world's first-class anti-aircraft ballistics! The range can reach an altitude of 20,000 meters, and it can shoot down Aramco's most powerful reconnaissance aircraft. Sir, do you think we have to sell it cheaply?"
Colonel Ka's face flushed slightly after hearing this. He slowly calmed down after listening to Lu Weidong's words.
After a while, Colonel Ka raised his head and said with a wry smile: "Forget it! Where are your Xiaolong fighter jets? I'm not talking about the garbage like the Pyramid Kingdom, but your real second-generation fighter jet! Not a simplified version!" "Your Excellency, sir! The real Xiaolong fighter is worth 300 million Hong Kong dollars!" Lu Weidong said.
After hearing this, Colonel Ka's face became slightly solemn. He rubbed his face and said slowly: "In exchange for oil?"
Lu Weidong smiled and said: "No! Hong Kong dollar trading!"
After hearing this, Colonel Ka's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Is it true? If it is true, I will order twenty of them."
So rich! Twenty of them are worth HK$6 billion.
However, depending on the temperament of Colonel Card, perhaps only about half of the transaction can be completed.
Lu Weidong smiled and nodded: "No problem! In addition, in order to provide maintenance services to our customers, our Kowloon aircraft must open flight operations in Tripoli. Our Kowloon bank, responsible for receiving the balance, also needs to open in Tripoli. Also
Our Kowloon company’s products need to enter your country’s market.”
Colonel Ka opened his eyes wide and sneered: "Boss Lu, don't push yourself too far. We will never agree to opening up the market."
"This way there is no way to negotiate! Sir, I can only take my leave." After saying that, Lu Weidong made a gesture to stand up.
Colonel Ka frowned and waved his hand: "Don't worry! Boss Lu, if you are willing, we will only open your company's products. This is my concession."
"This is exactly what I meant above! We are a Xiangjiang company, from Freeport. We hope to cooperate and trade with Guo Jia anywhere in the world." Lu Weidong smiled.
Colonel Ka nodded slightly, touched his mouth, and smiled at Lu Weidong: "I forgot to ask, are you qualified for this transaction?"
"Absolutely no problem! Sir, as long as you nod, we will send you twenty fighter jets immediately." Lu Weidong said seriously.
After hearing this, Colonel Ka said with a satisfied look on his face: "Very good! In half a month, we will pay and deliver the goods!"......
After Lu Weidong left, Colonel Card immediately called the person in charge of the bank to count the U.S. dollars and pounds.
Since the former regime was supported by Aramco and the West, banks were filled with U.S. dollars, pounds, francs and other currencies.
At the moment, these currencies are already considered useless paper to Colonel Ka.
At this time, Tripoli is united with Asso.
What Colonel Ka needs is rubles and gold, and he has no idea about anything else.
After taking stock, there were actually 500 million U.S. dollars, 80 million pounds, 200 million francs, etc.
The total value is approximately HKD 3.1 billion.
Colonel Card immediately ordered the person in charge of the bank to convert all the money into Hong Kong dollars.
Soon, all the U.S. dollars, pounds, and francs held by Colonel Card were thrown out, causing an exchange turmoil in Hong Kong's financial industry.
At the end of the month, these three billion Hong Kong dollars entered the underground vault of Kowloon Bank.
Ten Xiaolong fighter jets took off from Luohu, crossed the Indian Ocean, crossed the Suez Canal, and entered Tripoli.
With ten Xiaolong fighter jets, Colonel Ka felt proud.
He thought of Lu Weidong's benefits and immediately signed an oil contract worth 100 million barrels. According to the contract, the transaction was made in Hong Kong dollars.
Three billion Hong Kong dollars suddenly disappeared from the Hong Kong financial market. Soon, the market reacted and money became scarce.
This sudden change was like the straw that broke the camel's back, causing HSBC to completely collapse. In early February, HSBC announced that it would suspend the market and declare bankruptcy and reorganization.
For a time, Hong Kong was shaken, and all parties in the financial industry immediately became active.
At this time, Lu Weidong was in Baghdad, conducting difficult negotiations with Sadam, convincing the other party that oil could be traded in Hong Kong dollars.
Sa Damu is not interested in this, he would rather exchange oil for weapons.
The news from Xiangjiang made Lu Weidong no longer patient. In the end, both parties took a step back and paid for the 50 million barrels of oil purchased with half and half of weapons and Hong Kong dollars. After the contract was signed, Lu Weidong and his party immediately returned
To Xiangjiang.
The bankruptcy and reorganization of HSBC is an opportunity, and Lu Weidong will never let go of this golden opportunity.
