823 South Yemen is going to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait
"Is this a behind-the-scenes deal?" On the way back, Mo Qi asked Xie Kai while driving, "Aunt Liu's garment factory doesn't produce work clothes anymore, and they actually purchase 100,000 sets of ...... for 18 yuan a set."
"Count. Xie Kai said calmly, "8 pieces are purchased from other quilt factories, and the net profit is 1 million." ”
"This is a ...... violation"
"This is the market. Xie Kai patiently explained to Moqi, "Although they think that they are sending me one million, I will help them fight for a 15% increase in processing fees, in fact, work clothes are what they need, and the price has risen outside, at least 13 to 15 sets, isn't it? ”
"Are you using the base's money to earn money for yourself?" Mozzie was a little excited.
"I didn't explain it to you before, the base is considering taking the initiative to increase profits for the processing units it cooperates with, so that they have the money to update the production line and improve the production technology...... But if you give it directly, do you think they can be satisfied? No matter how much you give, you will feel that it is less, and what you take the initiative to give is not the same thing as what they take the initiative to ask, understand?"
Mozzie is still a pure and flawless little cabbage.
Originally, I couldn't touch such a thing at all, so it was naturally difficult to accept it for a while.
"At the beginning, we signed an order of more than $2 billion with the Iraqis, and privately, I gave Ibrahim tens of millions of dollars from Kaisheng's money, and even the African River Crab Mercenary Group, he is also a shareholder...... "If you change people, Xie Kai will never talk about this."
But this is Mozzi in front of him.
For these things, they are all people who can't be seen, and at the beginning, Mozzi had already excitedly said that it was against the law, and this time, she just listened.
When he returned, Mozzi locked himself in his room.
"What, there was a quarrel?" Zheng Yucheng, who had been waiting for Xie Kai to come back, saw Mo Qi go back to the room and asked Xie Kai.
"It's not your fault, I have to stuff her next to me, for some bullshit things, do you think a girl like her who has never been in contact with it can accept it?"
This is the only thing that is done in order to install people to keep an eye on themselves.
Zheng Yucheng was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Even if I am not by your side, I will marry you in the future, I know, I have to worry more?
"I said 15 percent. Xie Kai said, "This is already very good. ”
Zheng Yucheng was visibly relieved.
What they considered was that Xie Kai should be higher than that, at least two to three percent more.
"I'm not that stupid, it's okay to add so much at once. Xie Kai glanced at Zheng Yucheng, "Other units, let's do the same." ”
Zheng Yucheng did not object.
So, for several days in a row, from morning to night, someone invited Xie Kai to dinner, Xie Kai did not refuse to come, and he was not careful, and actually pulled an order for 470,000 sets of work clothes for the old lady's garment factory!
Mozzi is numb to such things.
"Next time something like this, don't look for me. Drinking alcohol hurts the stomach and body, don't drink it, and I'm afraid that they will be sad...... "Xie Kai doesn't like to socialize, but this time, in order to implement the order, he has to do so."
Of course, on the one hand, he is engaged in PY transactions with various cooperative units, and on the other hand, Zheng Yucheng is negotiating with various units next to each other, and it is also the time for new orders and tasks to be allocated.
After all this is done, the official contract is finally out.
"So many?" Xie Kai was dumbfounded when he saw the thick stack of weapons and equipment procurement contracts in front of him, at least hundreds of pages.
Every contract must be signed and sealed!
"It's already stripped. Every contract must have clear technical standards, and there must be terms for maintenance and technical training...... "Wang Guilin explained, "and more importantly, these contracts must be written in Chinese and Arabic at the same time......
Xie Kai didn't even have the heart to look at it, all of them were boring contracts, and it didn't look interesting, so he directly asked people to load these contracts into the car and drive to the villa where the Saudi prince lived.
"Thanks, are you guys ready here? We don't have time to wait any longer. Lafata looked at Xie Kai with an eager expression.
As the crown prince and the commander of the Saudi Air Defense Force, the prince could not stay in China for too long, and he left a few days ago, and did not come back again until yesterday when he signed a contract with the Chinese side for the second kick of medium-range express delivery.
"It's all in the car. Xie Kai and Mo Qi hugged a stack of piles and piled them up in front of the prince. "Your Highness, you take a look first, if there is anything that needs to be modified, please bring it up so that we can make changes. ”
Prince Sultan and Lafata were not surprised, not even too much in the contract.
Lafata went out for a while, and soon, more than a dozen Arab soldiers of no small age came in, and they got different contracts to study the details.
"Xie, after the contract is signed, can you deliver us a few sets of defense systems and some missiles first?" Now the two sides in Yemen are fighting lively...... Prince Sultan directly asked Xie Kai if he could provide it in advance when his subordinates were studying the contract.
Coverage of the war in Yemen is rarely heard in the country, and the most international news digests are a few sentences.
Xie Kai has always felt that the two sides in Yemen cannot fight too hard.
After all, it's all the same country, and all along, even if an armed conflict breaks out and the war starts, it eventually subsides quickly, and everyone is so poor that they can't afford to eat, where can they have much energy to fight for a long time?
"South Yemen has got a lot of Scud missiles and is preparing to blockade the Bab el-Mandeb Strait!" Lafata said solemnly, "and once that happens, the price of national oil will rise sharply again......
"Isn't that a good thing? As international oil prices rise, your country's income will increase dramatically......," Xie Kai said.
He really didn't expect South Yemen to do such a thing.
However, the thought of the Soviet military base in South Yemen and the rise in oil prices is a complete boost to the Soviet Union, which is now in a state of economic distress due to the failure of reforms.
The biggest losses are those of the United States and Europe.
Xie Kai quickly figured it out.
The United States struck.
"The economies of the United States and Europe are already very bad, and even Japan, which has been growing rapidly, has become difficult to control because of the Plaza Accord. Although the higher the price of oil, the more in our interest...... "Prince Sultan said solemnly, "as the largest oil producer, we should shoulder our international responsibilities......"
!
Xie Kai almost cursed.
He didn't expect that the prince would be so shameless.
"Lord Wang, once it is delivered first, this will soon be discovered by Europe and the United States......" Xie Kai was a little worried.
Xie Kai is actually afraid of affecting the delivery of the second kicker.
"They know. When he came to China for the first time, His Royal Highness's reason was to purchase some light weapons...... "Lafata told Xie Kai not to worry about this, "Now once the war in Yemen expands, the price of oil in the whole world will rise wildly." The Strait of Hormuz was turned into a miasma by the Persians, and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait was blocked again......"
South Yemen blockades the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and there is no shadow of the Soviet Union behind it, and no one believes it.
The biggest beneficiary country is the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union exports oil and natural gas, and it doesn't need to go through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at all, right?
"The current situation, even if it is made public, Europe and the United States will not have any objections, and even they support us in purchasing weapons and equipment to protect our oil tankers......" Prince Sultan also knew what Xie Kai was worried about, and in a word, Xie Kai dispelled his doubts.
But Xie Kai couldn't figure it out at all, why didn't Europe and the United States intervene in such a thing?
Isn't the matter of escorting ships in the Persian Gulf about to begin?
"Your Highness, I don't understand, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is the most important oil transportation channel in the whole of Europe and the United States, why don't they send a fleet to escort it?" This is something that Xie Kai can't figure out.
Just like the ship raids in the past, both Iraq and Persia launched attacks on merchant ships and oil tankers throughout the Persian Gulf, and the joint escort fleet did not send the escort fleet until the end of the Iran-Iraq war.
"Soviet Union!"
The prince only gave Xie Kai this answer.
The contract couldn't be read for a while, and when Xie Kai got such important news, he naturally had to hurry back to discuss it with Wang Guilin and them.
The rise in national oil prices is likely to have a great impact on the world economy, which has not yet developed, and it is possible to break out a global economic and financial crisis, and Japan's investment will make the huge amount of money in 404 go home......
"We've been watching. Two-thirds of the current funds have been withdrawn!" Wang Guilin, they actually know that the war between North and South Yemen is expanding!
I didn't even tell myself.
"Don't worry, this battle is going to be hard to fight. "Even if the price of oil rises, Japan's domestic economy has not only not been affected, but has grown even more frantically, and a lot of money has poured in, and we are afraid of a collapse......
Xie Kai really didn't understand.
Can't fight, that's for sure.
The economies of Europe and the United States are not good in the first place, and this oil price will not collapse once it rises?
"The Soviet economy is no longer working. Now the biggest thing in Europe and the United States is the Soviet Union to start a war, understand?" Seeing Xie Kai's confused face, Wang Guilin explained to him, "Aren't you a very shrewd person?"
"Europe and the United States are afraid that the Soviet Union will die and the net will be broken, and everyone will be finished together?" Xie Kai finally reacted.
Because he has always been in an era of peace, he knows the future direction of development, and he will not think about the question of breaking out too much war at all.
Other countries don't know, don't they?
Every time, once a worldwide economic and financial crisis breaks out, eventually, some powerful countries that cannot solve the financial crisis will start a war to divert domestic contradictions.
This is how the First World War was triggered, and the Second World War was also provoked in this way.
"So, deliver a batch of equipment to Saudi Arabia first?" Xie Kai asked uncertainly.
