The second stop is, of course, the Saudi oil country.
On the plane, a signal came from the communication system, and Director Li was asked to answer the phone.
The captain hurriedly ran out of the cockpit and reported the news to Secretary Li.
Secretary Li immediately entered the VIP cabin and whispered to Director Li.
Director Li stood up, made an apologetic look to everyone, and said, "Everyone, wait a moment! I'm going to answer the phone. Wei Dong, chair it for me and continue the discussion."
After saying that, Director Li quickly walked towards the cockpit.
This scene fell in the eyes of everyone in Justin, making everyone look surprised and shocked.
Justin couldn't help but look at Lu Weidong and said, "Mr. Lu, is this plane equipped with private communication equipment?"
Lu Weidong smiled slightly and said: "This is a specially manufactured aircraft. It has functions such as communication and office. No matter where it flies, it can communicate with the ground. Everyone, if anyone wants to order a private jet, you can contact me. I am very
Happy to oblige."
"How much does one cost?" Ship King Zhao couldn't help but asked, with a somewhat expectant look on his face.
Lu Weidong smiled and said: "A small private jet can carry ten people, with a carrying capacity of up to one ton. It has communication and office functions. It can travel up to 20,000 kilometers. With one refueling, it can fly anywhere on the earth."
"As for the price, it's 20 million Hong Kong dollars."
After hearing this, Ship King Zhao's expression was slightly abnormal. The price was almost equivalent to a 10,000-ton cargo ship.
This is simply very expensive!
After hearing this, everyone in the room felt helpless and discouraged.
At this time, Director Li walked in and said with a smile: "Everyone, there is good news! The Hong Kong delegation led by the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Mak, has landed at the Shahou Airport. Soon, we will join together. This is good.
I wish us success in negotiations and happy cooperation."
When Director Li finished speaking, Lu Weidong immediately stood up and applauded.
Everyone stood up quickly and clapped happily.
The applause was like thunder, echoing in the VIP cabin for a long time!…….
The trip to the Middle East took two months, and it was not until the end of the year that everyone returned.
It took too much time, but it was worth it. The motherland and the Hong Kong authorities gained a lot from this trip.
The oil countries in the Middle East have unanimously agreed to use Hong Kong dollars to settle oil, on the condition that the oil countries can purchase first-class advanced weapons from the motherland and Afghanistan and Britain at will.
Yes! In addition to nuclear weapons, and ultra-high field black technology!
Like the world's third-generation new weapons, oil countries can purchase them unconditionally!
In the next three years, the people of the motherland will receive half of the oil share, and can import one billion barrels of oil every year. Ah Ying of the Hong Kong authorities will receive 20 percent of the share. Ah Ying said so because of the lack of strong support from the British Street.
What they provide are only second-rate weapons, which makes oil countries dissatisfied. However, fortunately, there are many choices.
The remaining 30% share was divided among a group of business leaders, and everyone benefited.
Mr. Huo, the two chartering kings, all resold their shares to Lu Weidong.
The two are wary of the high risks involved in oil and do not want to get involved.
After Lu Weidong acquired two shares from the two of them, he began to negotiate with others to acquire their shares.
Guaranteed by the full support of Hang Seng Bank, Lu Weidong acquired the shares of the Three Real Estate Musketeers, followed by Xiao Tiantian and his wife, and then Dong Chuanwang, Zhao Chuanwang and others.
Seeing half of the shares in the hands of Chinese businessmen being acquired by Lu Weidong, the four major British banks headed by Justin suddenly couldn't sit still. They also started activities to snap up everyone's oil shares.
From the end of the year to the end of the year, until the Lantern Festival, it slowly came to an end.
Lu Weidong controls 70% of the 30% share, which is 420 million barrels of oil per year. The four major British banks control 30%, which is 180 million barrels of oil per year.
This battle made Lu Weidong even more disgusted with Li Huanggua and several other people with yellow skin and white hearts.
In early February of 1974, car sales gradually increased.
Lu Weidong's whole heart is devoted to automobiles. This is his long-cherished wish. He wants to defeat the Toyo Automobile Group, ascend to the throne of the world's automobile king, and make Luohu Manufacturing famous in the world.
In mid-February, Lu Weidong led a huge sales team and began to promote Red Star Motors and Kowloon Motors globally.
There are always two places for the decisive battle, North America and old Europe.
This is the decisive battlefield!
Lu Weidong's first stop was Paris.
In Paris, Lu Weidong obviously felt that there were many more Alfa intelligence agents around him, and they secretly watched Lu Weidong's every move.
Perhaps the Alfa Intelligence Department was angry and shocked that the motherland suddenly obtained their cutting-edge technology, which made them strengthen their defenses in this regard.
Of course, Alfa cannot completely believe that these black technologies were leaked artificially.
Perhaps, the people of the motherland have surpassed many Guo Jia in scientific research, and their strength has suddenly become stronger.
For example, in terms of satellite launches, nuclear weapons, and large aircraft manufacturing, they are beyond their reach!
Lu Weidong turned a blind eye to the surveillance around him. He even regarded these people as customers and sold cars to everyone.
Under this environment, after staying in Paris for half a month, negotiating a lot of cooperation, and signing a contract with a total value of 500 million francs, Lu Weidong led the delegation to Rome.
In Rome, after visiting business leaders everywhere, Lu Weidong established the second Kowloon Bank branch in old Europe, and then signed a car contract.
A month later, Lu Weidong left old Europe and entered South America.
Negotiations with Abbasi, Argentina and other South American countries lasted for a month, and the cooperation was finally confirmed.
The South American market is open to Lu Weidong. All products of Kowloon New Century Company such as Kowloon Motors and Red Star Motors can be launched in the South American market.
Lu Weidong supports investment, construction, mining and local development.
At this time, Lu Weidong encountered strong competition here, from the Dongyang Consortium and the Bangzi Consortium.
In old Europe, with the laws of various countries and the intimidation of big powers, these rival Toyo Consortium and Bangzi Consortium did not dare to stir up trouble.
When they arrived at the underdeveloped Guo Jia, they became bolder and began to target Lu Weidong and his party everywhere.
In particular, the Dongyang Consortium began to send people to follow Lu Weidong's route, obstructing and provoking him at every turn.
Lu Weidong is too lazy to pay attention to these, and he is not in the mood to help develop the markets of these countries. Someone is making trouble behind his back, which is a good excuse for Lu Weidong.
Therefore, many agreements have been put on hold. What Lu Weidong needs is their market and raw materials to help develop.
Haha! He, Lu Weidong, is not a savior!
There is no savior in the world! Only self-improvement is the truth!
After spending three months in South America, Lu Weidong entered Mexico.
After that, I entered Ami.
Here, the tracking team completely disappeared.
Lu Weidong stayed in Aramco’s Silicon Valley and carefully laid out the plans.
In the first step, he established Kowloon Bank and Hang Seng Bank in Chinatowns across the United Arab Emirates.
After that, branches were set up in major cities, with a total investment of US$500 million.
As the two major banks opened up in the Aramco market, they immediately attracted the attention of the Aramco consortium.
At this time, Lu Weidong put aside his expansion and began to promote his cars.
In the first step of promotion, Lu Weidong announced on behalf of Kowloon Motors that its Red Star Motors and Kowloon Motors, a total of four models, will all adopt loan promotion methods based on Kowloon Bank and Hang Seng Bank.
All customers can borrow money to buy a car!
No cash in hand right now? No money?
It doesn't matter! As long as you are willing to buy, Kowloon Bank and Hang Seng Bank will help you, and you can pay in installments, three years, five years, or ten years.
Pay in installments and use 50,000 US dollars to drive home a luxury car worth hundreds of thousands. No matter how you look at it, you can make a lot of money!
After the promotion news was released in major dealerships, the Aramco car market was shaken for a while. Countless customers showed up at the Kowloon car sales store and started buying like crazy.
That’s right! Just want it!
Red Star Motors!
Luxurious and high-end, with complete functions, and most importantly, it is fuel-efficient and comes with a three-year warranty.
Countless middle-income American and American residents suddenly abandoned domestic cars such as General Motors and Ford Motors, as well as Japanese models, and bought Kowloon Motors and Red Star Motors.
One week after the policy was released, one million Kowloon cars and three million Red Star cars were suddenly sold in the Aramco market. Suddenly, Kowloon cars occupied the third place in the Aramco car sales market.
A month later, Kowloon Motors surpassed Toyo Motors combined to occupy the second place in the sales list, closing in on the Aramco Group.
If calculated carefully, Kowloon Motors has surpassed any other car model, and it has suddenly become the car with the largest sales volume in the market.
At this time, promotional policies also began in old Europe.
Suddenly, Kowloon cars became a hot commodity. Half a month later, the old European market was exhausted, and five million cars were sold, firmly ranking second in the sales market, close to West Germany's cars.
This phenomenon finally aroused dissatisfaction in the old European and Aramco automobile industries. All parties held frequent meetings to study countermeasures and restrict the import of Kowloon automobiles.
This year, Saudi Arabia and Aramco announced a strategic cooperation. In the future, all Saudi Arabia’s oil will be traded in US dollars.
At this moment, the U.S. dollar was finally linked to oil, and oil prices soared again...
Time passed bit by bit, and this situation lasted for three full years.
The time has arrived, early February of 1978.
This year happens to be the day when the oil cooperation between the Middle East oil countries, the motherland and the Hong Kong authorities expires.
Various intelligence and signs indicate that the Middle East oil countries are abandoning the original agreement and completely using US dollars for transactions.
The historical trajectory seems to have returned to the original development line.
Everything Lu Weidong did and everything Luo Hu brought was like a stone falling into the lake, causing slight waves, but did not change the general trend.
Heung Kong, Kowloon Bank Headquarters.
"Master! Martin from the Morgan Consortium led a group of people over and is waiting in the lobby downstairs." Chuan Wa reported to Lu Weidong.
Lu Weidong frowned. He put down his pen, stood up from his desk, and said with a frown, "Didn't they make an appointment in advance?"
"No!" Chuan Wa shook his head.
Lu Weidong nodded and said, "Okay! Invite them to the second floor."
"Yeah!" Chuanwa agreed and went downstairs.
After Lu Weidong was silent for a moment, he left the study, and a group of bodyguards escorted him toward the second floor.
Three years have passed and too many changes have occurred.
At present, Lu Weidong, except Chuan Wa, everyone else has been sent to various places to take charge of himself.
Fortunately, they lived up to Lu Weidong's expectations and all grew up.
Chen Xiaobing, Feng Gangjun, Fang Guojiang, Xiang Yang, Zhang Xiaofeng, Jian Dazhuang, Lu Zhilian, and Li Liwen are all responsible persons in various places, guarding the operation of the Kowloon Group.
Ah Er, Ah San, Ah Si, and Ah Wu have been transferred. They work in key departments of the Ministry of Security around the world. For them, this is a new beginning.
As his career develops, Lu Weidong feels more and more the lack of talents, but he has already started making preparations.
For three years, Lu Weidong has taken in many young people like Tuo La, and they have been put to good use under the training of the butcher.
No way!
There are many forces spying on him from all over the world, so Lu Weidong needs to take precautions and take precautions.
"Dear Mr. Martin! I am very happy to see you again!" Lu Weidong entered the living room on the second floor. He stretched out his hand and greeted Martin and his group who were waiting with a smile.
Martin smiled slightly, stepped forward and shook hands with Lu Weidong, "Mr. Lu! How are you doing lately?"
Okay! I’m calling you Your Excellency now!
Lu Weidong's vigilance became even stronger.
"It's not bad! The weather in Xiangjiang has been a bit cold recently! The temperature has dropped a bit compared to previous years." Lu Weidong said with a smile, and then his eyes fell on the group of people behind Martin.
Martin smiled slightly and introduced the old man with glasses to Lu Weidong, "Mr. Lu, this is the head of our Morgan consortium, Mr. President George."
George smiled slightly, stretched out his hand towards Lu Weidong, and said lightly: "I've admired you for a long time! I've admired you for a long time! Boss Lu, you are indeed very young."
Lu Weidong smiled back, shook hands and said, "It's Mr. George! It's my honor to meet you! Please!" As he said that, Lu Weidong made a gesture of invitation.
George nodded, released Lu Weidong's palm, and took the lead in sitting down on the sofa.
After everyone sat down, Chuan Wa poured tea for everyone, and then retreated to Lu Weidong.
George glanced at Chuan Wa and smiled at Lu Weidong: "Boss Lu, tea is free! We are here to discuss some things."
"Oh? What's going on?" Lu Weidong asked with a smile.
"Boss Lu, you don't know yet? Our government is prepared to severely punish your Kowloon Bank and Hang Seng Bank! Now, a group of congressmen are preparing to propose a bill in Congress to strictly investigate the illegal activities of these two banks. This is a big matter.
Boss Lu, don’t you know?” George smiled.
After hearing this, Lu Weidong shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said, "Sorry! This is the first time I've heard of it! I've never received such news."
"Ha! We are here to tell you this secret news! Very few people know about this kind of thing! It just so happens that our Morgan consortium has the first-hand information! Boss Lu, we are very sympathetic to your experience! Can you handle it?
How?" George asked with a smile.
"There is no way! If it is true! We can only compromise!" Lu Weidong shook his head.
George frowned after hearing this.
Because, what he saw from his eyes was that Lu Weidong had a calm face, without the slightest hint of gaffes or uneasiness.
This calm look reminded George of the commander-in-chief who looked like this a few years ago when he was being cross-examined by the judges.
