Chapter 348: Wish Fulfilled
Fahd Abdul Aziz, the fifth king of Saudi Arabia, is known as the richest Saudi king ever, with a personal fortune of $25 billion, mostly from oil extraction and real estate and stock investments. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ As the richest ruler of a constitutional monarchy, King Fahd has always been low-key and philanthropic, and has close contacts with American politicians, especially Bush Sr.
The 82-year-old died of pneumonia at the age of 82 last night at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. His death has caused some waves in countries around the world, many countries have sent special envoys or commissioners to the Saudi capital to mourn, and the elder Bush is also on his way to Saudi Arabia, the phone call is from Carlisle's company headquarters, and he is going to Saudi Arabia to attend the king's funeral as a representative of the company.
It is a bit inaccurate to say that it was a funeral, because of religious customs and Fahd's own identity, his funeral will not take place until after some ceremonies, and Ji Mingzhe does not plan to stay long. When he arrived in Riyadh, he waited for the arrival of George H.W. Bush in the hotel, and the next afternoon he went to the airport to pick him up, and the two went to the palace together.
Prince Bandle came from the United States with George H.W. Bush, accompanied them to the royal palace by the way, and solemnly introduced the new Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz to Chi Mingzhe.
King Fahd has been in poor health because of his poor health, so King Abdullah, who is also the prince and **** and the first deputy prime minister and commander of the National Guard, has long been the leader of Saudi Arabia, and although this funeral is not over, he has officially become the king with the support of his subordinates and members of the royal family.
The relationship between Bush Sr. and Fahd is very good, and the relationship with the new king is also good, of course, he has a very good relationship with all the people in power in the Saudi royal family, he is nothing more than for profit, but so far I have not heard of any Saudi oil fields belong to the Bush family, even secretly, which is also the reason why the current US President Bush Jr. is dissatisfied with his father.
The relationship is so iron, it is said that the Saudi royal family should be willing to do anything about it, not to mention any super oil field with a large output, at least a small oil field! The benefits that Bush Sr. has received have not received as much as Bush Jr. has received from Chi Mingzhe.
"William, is that plan of yours really feasible?"
After coming out of the palace, the elder Bush, who was in the same car with Chi Mingzhe, said a cold word.
"Uhใใใ You'll have to think about it, Mr. Bush!"
Looking at Bush Sr., Chi Mingzhe was stunned, then pressed the surprise in his heart and said calmly.
"What if... I mean, if they're willing to come up with some oil fields, do we need to go out of our way?"
"You mean, they're willing to cut meat?"
The elder Bush did not speak, but it could be seen from the way he frowned that he was calculating gains and losses in his heart.
Saudi Arabia's oil reserves are truly staggering, with proven reserves of 22.6 billion tons alone, and its largest oil field in Ghawar has reserves of 10.74 billion tons (about 85 billion barrels), with an annual production of 280 million tons, accounting for 30% of the production of the entire Persian Gulf region, making it the world's largest oil field. This is also a self-blowing well, the crude oil content is very small, most of it is light oil, which is very convenient to transport. Add to that the fact that Safania, the world's largest offshore oil field, has been developed for nearly 60 years, but now at least 19 billion barrels are still flowing on the seabed.
And what is even more tempting is that the neutral area on the border between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait has about 261 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves, accounting for a quarter of the total oil reserves of the earth, and the final renewable fuel oil is 1 trillion barrels, as well as Buqaige, Bailey, Manifa, Zuluf, Shayba, The reserves of the eight super-large oil and gas fields of Absafah and Hurseniya occupy more than half of the reserves of the 110 oil and gas fields proven in Saudi Arabia in the future, which is really a great wealth, and these exploration data have been gradually proved after 2007.
Chi Mingzhe said to himself that he reported some well-known oil field data, as if he wanted to give the elder Bush "popular science", and the Bush family lost money, but they were not very good at some bright things, but as long as they liked money, it was fine.
"I count... How many dollars does this cost ... โ
He was still talking to himself.
"Don't think about these two big oil fields, many countries are involved in the development, and we also have a share of American oil companies!"
"Then you mean ... โ
Ji Mingzhe asked uncertainly.
"William, we are our own people, so I'll give you an account... On the way here, Bandle said that the Saudi royal family wants to join the WTO this year, hoping to attract foreign investment and improve the economic structure, and they are too dependent on oil exports, so that they have suffered enough from the collapse of oil prices before, and now they want to change the economic structure. โ
Chi Mingzhe didn't care about what Bush Sr. said, he was waiting for the point.
"Of course, the WTO accession negotiations, they started a few years ago, but because of too much internal resistance, and for various reasons, they have never been able to do so... โ
"Their government is so rich, and once Saudi Arabia is integrated into global integration, a lot of things... For example, the welfare benefits given by the government to the people must be reduced... This Saudi saudis are lazy and have become a habit, hehe!"
As he spoke, his brain was running at high speed, and Chi Mingzhe suddenly remembered that Saudi Arabia joined the WTO at the end of this year, which also shows that it must have paid a price during the period.
The elimination of Saudi Arabia is Chi Mingzhe's whimsical plan, nothing more than for the black oil, which was inevitably ridiculed when mentioned before, but with various sudden events, such as "911" and Saudi Arabia has been supporting the ********** world to eliminate Israel, as well as various terrorist activities, some Saudi wealthy families are secretly providing financial support, etc., and now Chi Mingzhe's plan is obviously feasible.
In the past two years, the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the US government has cooled sharply, and even a huge rift has occurred, especially after the United States occupied Iraq, and as for Afghanistan, a poor ghost country, no one cares, anyway, the Saudi government is scared, maybe they must have something unspeakable in private for fear of being exposed, plus Chi Mingzhe's "proposal" to Bush Jr. must have made them worry through Bandel's mouth, so what was conveyed to Bush Sr. through Bandel.
This string of associations let Chi Mingzhe know that Saudi Arabia wants to buy "insurance" for itself to prevent the United States from moving troops south from Iraq. It's better to pay some oil fields than to be destroyed, and the U.S. military at this time is unreasonable, as long as there is an excuse, it will eliminate "you" on behalf of the earthlings.
โใใใ So?"
Chi Mingzhe looked sideways at Bush Sr.
"They will take out some oil fields with uncertain data and share them with their partners, and of course they will have to develop everything themselves. โ
Saudi Arabia has 77 developed oil and gas fields, of course, there are still proven and undeveloped, but the reserves are not necessarily much, and the data they have released to the outside world on their oil reserves are quite vague, and no country has been able to figure out how many reserves there are.
"It's better to ask them and Kuwait for the right to exploit the neutral zone, where there are now two Japanese companies exploiting offshore oil fields, and we want onshore... And the free mining rights have to be obtained, right?
"Free development... I'm afraid it's not good... โ
The old thing was stunned and then hesitated, afraid that he felt that it was too ugly to eat, so he said this.
โใใใ We can follow the precedent of the two Japanese companies in the neutral zone and pay 20 percent for Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, you see! Mr. Bush... โ
"So much?"
Chi Mingzhe looked at Bush Sr., didn't say anything but nodded, but muttered in his heart that this old thing was too greedy, and he was also laughing at fifty steps and a hundred steps.
Then the two of them fell silent and thought about their own thoughts, but Chi Mingzhe was ecstatic in his heart, thinking about whether to open up those big oil fields at this opportunity, of course, he couldn't eat alone, those oil fields were too "fat" and would commit "public anger", when the time came, he would set up an exploration company, go around in a fake way, and "guide" himself from the side, and wait until the place was determined to pull some forces to play together, such as the Bush family is to be tied together.
"That's right... I know the places of those 8 oil fields, but are the big oil fields in the neutral zone named after the local names?"
Chi Mingzhe frowned again when he thought of this, he didn't understand the things on oil, and he didn't understand whether the naming of Saudi Arabia's oil fields was based on place names.
"I'll have to get a map later... โ
Chi Mingzhe sniffed, and then his expression was strange, and the muscles on his face were a little stiff as if he was holding something, and his happiness was reflected on his face, but with Bush by his side, he forcibly held back.
ใใใใใใ
The next day, Chi Mingzhe entered the palace again, of course, with Bush Sr., where Bandle was already waiting for them. Then he had a meeting with a group of princes, princes, and King Abdullah.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the door of the conference room opened, and most of the people looked tired, but Ji Mingzhe was in good spirits.
"It's good to be young!"
Lao Bu said with some envy.
He was also defreshed and smiling. Obviously, today's meeting is very promising, first of all, the Carlisle Group has gained a lot of benefits, as the head of the Asian region, Chi Mingzhe has brought a large amount of military orders for the company, as well as some investment permits in special areas. Moreover, Prince Bandle dragged him to a side room and "muttered" for more than an hour, just to clarify that his country had no intention of completely deteriorating relations with the United States, hoping that he could help deliver the message.
At first, Chi Mingzhe was surprised, how could this "national event" be controlled by himself, and then he came back to his senses. First, he is a director of the Carlisle Group and commissioner of the Asian region, and second, he is afraid that the other party mistakenly thinks that he and a large group of powerful people are trying to instigate Bush Jr. to take action against Saudi Arabia. It seems that the meeting in Washington, D.C., and the lecture he gave in public, must have reached his ears.
"You don't hate me, you still tell me this... Do you want to buy them one by one? Or do you want to ใใใใใใ โ
Ji Mingzhe's mind was also a little uncertain.
At a party held at the palace in the evening, Chi Mingzhe and the elder Bush exchanged views with the commissioners and representatives sent by Britain, France, and other European countries, and the next day, the Saudi side really released a delicious "meal," and the elder Bush and Chi Mingzhe were ready to "have a good meal."
On the plane back to South Korea, Ji Mingzhe looked tired, obviously a little tired from this meal, but fortunately it met his expectations, of course, this was all private. As for the new king's desire to mend relations with the United States, it is none of Chi's business.

"Azexiใใใ โ
"Little naughty!"
When Chi Mingzhe arrived home, he was invited by Zheng Xiujing that night, and the location was her "turf" in William Hills.
The large bathtub in the bathroom splashed everywhere, and Xiujing leaned on his arms and kept playing with the petals floating on the water.
"It's been a long time since I've taken a shower!"
"You've grown up, and you still want me to accompany you?"
"I want you to wash with me... Hmm!"
"Poใใใ Let your sister know I'm going to beat you again!"
splashed water on her, and Ji Mingzhe helped her straighten her long hair to the back of her head.
"I'm not afraid... With Azexi here, I'm not afraid!"
โใใใ My little heart is sharp!"
The coquettish Xiujing made Chi Mingzhe's heart tingle, this girl is too good at coaxing people, and then she turned around and straddled his abdomen, her fingers kept rolling around his chest, and even deliberately clamped her legs.
"Azexi... โ
"Huh?"
"Help you... Eat! โ
"Huh?"
Xiujing didn't wait for him to react, her little hand sank into the water and slammed it first.
โใใใ Stand up, Azeshi!"
"You... โ
โใใใ Hurry up!"
He was pulled by Xiujing and was about to stand up to enjoy it, but he was startled by Ji-yeon who suddenly rushed in.
"Hahaใใใ I know you are ... I'm coming in and washing with you... โ
Sister Pu was happy at first, looking like I know where you are hiding, but looking at the situation in front of her, she immediately took off her clothes.
"Poofใใใ โ
Running into the bathtub, Ji-yeon immediately went to the other side of Ji Myung-cheol.
"Naughty! โ
"Hee-hee!"
Spread her arms and let her in.
"How did you get here?"
Xiujing's face was unswerving.
"I went to look for you, and then asked me Ernie again, saying that you weren't with Xiuyan Ernie either, so it must be here... โ
"Pretty smart!"
"Of course ... Babies are the smartest, aren't they? Hmmmใใใ โ
"Huh!"
The likable Ji-yeon will never be hated by Ji Oba, and after pulling her face, Ji Mingzhe wants to lie down in the bathtub.
"Hmm!"
Xiujing also rested her chin on his chest, while Ji-yeon quietly put her hand into the water, grabbed Ji Mingzhe's legs, and stroked playfully.
"Oba ใใใ โ
The face was close to his ear, and his mouth was fragrant.
"Baby, help you eat!"
"Shameless!"
Xiujing sat up angrily. (To be continued.) )
