Chapter 521: Niamey, where things are not people

The final result of the negotiation froze, and Lin Quan was very angry, so he cut off the water!

Then, the Niger side reacted quickly, immediately pulled the engineering team over, and began to prepare to drill wells!

Lin Quan looked at these guys like a joke, the groundwater near the gold mine has been drained by him, you just dig it, dig up the water and count me as losing!

If you don't want to give money, okay, wouldn't it be better if you just transported all the raw materials over there to the side of the Niger River to pan for gold?

It's just that I don't know if the Nigeriens can bear the cost, not to mention that the two places are so far apart, the cost, time and manpower consumed in the middle, let's just say that the risks on the road will also make them feel afraid and retreat, right?

If the residents along the route knew that these muck trucks were carrying golden sand, would they still be indifferent and do nothing?

Surely it is impossible!

Therefore, as long as the Nigerien people can settle accounts and can clearly distinguish the stakes, they will basically compromise with themselves!

Lin Quan is not worried at all, on the contrary, since he has come to Niamey, let's go and have a good time!

Niamey he was very familiar with before, but he didn't come back for a year, the whole city has changed a lot, the population gathered here is more, the scale of the city has become larger, the landmark buildings have become a lot, and the construction places in the city have also become more, overall, the whole Niamey seems to have become busy, which line connecting the city and the airport is very busy, it seems that there are many foreigners coming to Niamey all the time!

Speaking of which, Lin Quan still has some projects, these countries with black gold flowing underground!

There is oil in the ground, and as soon as it is discovered, the countries in the West that are heavily dependent on oil will immediately wave a check and rush in with a lot of money almost as if they were forced, and if you don't want it, then they will turn their faces!

Although the right to exploit the large oil fields in Niger was given to the British, and Britain is a European country, so outsiders think that this time Europe has taken advantage of the competition between Europe and the United States, but this is just an outsider's opinion!

In fact, in Europe, everyone is still very disappointed, because Britain got the right to exploit this oil field, not other countries, at this time, whether it is France, Germany, or even Spain or Italy, if they get the right to exploit this large oil field, then the current energy security situation in Europe will be greatly improved!

They have long relied on Russian oil and gas pipelines, but Russia's oil and gas pipelines are more politically affected, in recent years, the relationship between Europe and Russia in decline is not so harmonious, there is a lot of friction between the two sides, the relationship is bumpy, although Russia has not cut off the oil and gas pipeline to Europe for all considerations, but whenever the relationship between them and neighbor Ukraine deteriorates, the oil and gas pipeline between the two countries will be interrupted!

Ukraine has a lot of coal, it used to be the heavy industry base of the former Soviet Union, and there are many famous design and manufacturing bureaus and research institutes here, but there is a lack of oil here, and the oil is basically transported from Russia by pipeline, although it is not a line with the European pipeline, but every time the Russians cut off the Ukrainian pipeline, Western European countries, especially Germany and France, will feel a little worried!

Fear that one day the Russians will treat them in this way, and then there will be problems with their energy supply!

Therefore, while European countries are vigorously developing nuclear power and other clean energy, they are beginning to look for other ways to purchase oil!

Originally, before the establishment of the European Union, they had already contacted Iraq, an oil-producing country in the Middle East, and Iraq was ready to accept the euro as a petroleum currency to supply oil to Europe, but the Americans who got the news couldn't sit still!

The global hegemony of the United States is based on its own coinage, the dollar is the world's common currency, you can buy things everywhere, and the essence of the dollar is just a kind of paper, the Americans empty gloves white wolf, with worthless paper to buy a large number of products, such a good thing they do not want to let go, if the euro is linked to oil, then the United States will not have a good time, the credit and value of the dollar will fall seriously, their good days will be gone forever!

Then, they regarded the EU as the biggest adversary after the Cold War, on the one hand, they dominated the military initiative in Europe within NATO, and on the other hand, they launched the Kosovo War and the Iraq War under various pretexts, which hit the prestige of the EU and undermined the rise of the euro.

Coupled with the European Union's interference, the EU has not been able to go further, and now it is even a little difficult!

After the subprime mortgage crisis, the Americans deeply feel that their national strength has declined seriously, and they are unable to control the world, no matter how good the quantitative easing policy is, everyone knows that you are preparing to empty gloves white wolf, and gradually some of them do not trust you so much, so the Americans have dealt a heavy blow to the EU in the Middle East, which is considered to have announced the EU's death sentence in advance, and when the refugee crisis hits, the EU will also be ancient!

After the Americans messed up the Middle East, Europe turned its attention to Africa for energy, and there is a lot of oil in Africa, and there are also a lot of other resources, such as South Sudan, Angola, Nigeria and other countries, all of which have oil, and at this time, the large oil fields found in Niger immediately attracted the attention of Europe, and for a time European oil companies have set foot on the land of Niger with contracts!

But in the end, the British had the last laugh, the French, who were originally the original suzerainty of Niger, were dumbfounded, and could only secretly scold the British for deflating you and me, and there was no other way, while the Americans bowed their heads slightly in the back, and they were very satisfied, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill made the British a good one, this matter is not over, if the British do not behave well, they will not easily forgive them!

The British for the purpose of undermining the European Union, coupled with the pressure of the Americans, and the consideration of the prospects of this oil field, so they happily won the right to operate this oil field at a high price, while the French were disappointed, and the same disappointed were the Chinese, although China invested a lot in Africa at this time, but compared with these European suzerains, China's influence is still much smaller!

And there is another country that is very happy, that is, Niger, which got a lot of money for no reason, and suddenly changed from being short and poor to being rich and handsome, such a thing is like a dream when you think about it, it is incredible!

So after they got the money, they didn't know what to do, and they started spending money everywhere without any planning!
