First and foremost is security.

Iraq is not at peace, this was the case when Saddam Hussein was in power, this was the case when the United States was talking about things, and the same is true now that the Iraqi government is in power.

Political contradictions, ethnic conflicts, and sectarian strife are all over Iraq.

Rocket grenades were thrown into the factory, factory employees bombed the building with bombs, management was kidnapped, and a bullet was shot in the head...... These are by no means alarmist, but real scenes that happen every day.

If you go to this place to invest, if you are not careful, you will have to poke the hornet's nest, and you will not even be able to recover the capital, and you will lose money.

"There are definitely risks in this regard, so Xiaomi alone is absolutely not good." Zhao Zejun said: "This time, I am going to be led by the Zezi Department, and specifically handed over to the investment and development division of Zelianke, Zelianke, Zejian, Xingxing Cotton Textile Group, Xiaomi, and some other enterprises to make a closed large-scale industrial field in the local area." Holding together in large groups minimizes security threats. Of course, specific matters still have to be discussed with the Iraqi side. ”

Zhao Zejun thought for a while and said, "In addition to internal security measures, when necessary, you can find a way to contact the other party's garrison." ”

"Contact the garrison?" Lei Jun was slightly stunned, no matter how bad Iraq is, it is also a country, how can the country's army be mobilized by individuals?

But since Zhao Zejun said so, he must have his way. Moreover, with so many companies huddled together, the security would have been greatly improved, and with the security measures set up by themselves, as long as they were not on the front line of the war, basic security could still be guaranteed.

"With so many factories, it means that the network, people's livelihood infrastructure, textiles and electronic communication industries over there will be involved?"

"So much for now." Zhao Zejun nodded: "Today's main thing is to solicit your opinions, and I am only a preliminary idea now, and I have not yet talked to the Iraqi side." ”

In addition to Xiaomi, Zhao Zejun can decide for himself in several other parts, although he has shares in Xiaomi, but after all, Lei Jun has always managed and operated independently, and he must reach an agreement with Lei Jun.

"If there are so many huddlers, then we ourselves are a force in the local area." Lei Jun nodded, "There is also transportation, the raw materials of these factories, except for textile factories, have to be purchased from foreign countries, the surrounding environment of Iraq is not very good, if it can't be shipped in, it will be a big trouble." The transportation route is more important than the safety issue, the raw materials have to come in, and the products have to get out. ”

Iraq's surroundings are not bad, but not too bad. There is nothing to do with the surrounding countries, and in the near future, there will be an IS that the whole world has a headache against.

The only way to do this is by sea, but Iraq's coastline is really embarrassing, with only a section of coastline adjacent to the Persian Gulf in the southeast, less than 60 kilometers, and of these 60 kilometers, only a dozen kilometers long can really be landed on the coast, and the rest are all shoals and inland, and it is impossible to moor large ships at all.

As one of the four major civilizations of the two river basins, because of the erosion of the two rivers, the coast continues to move forward, Iraq has to look sadly at the gradually shrinking coastline but can do nothing, Saddam Hussein's invasion of Iran and Kuwait, one of the important strategic purposes is to expand access to the sea, so that Iraq has a sea platform for trade with the world.

If you want to really enter from the Indian Ocean, you have to go through Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and several other countries, which ......

"Hehe, the relationship with Iraq is not very good." Lei Jun shook his head and smiled.

"You're pretty good at geography." Zhao Zejun couldn't help laughing, if he was himself, he really couldn't say these words without checking the information.

"When I was younger, I loved to look at world maps." Lei Jun said: "Young people, they always want to travel around the world. ”

"You don't have to worry about the route." Zhao Zejun thought for a while and said, "Do you know Bubi Island...... That's the name, right? A large island between Iraq and Kuwait? ”

"It's Bubyan Island!" Lei Jun is really a geography bully, and he said: "You know, this is the largest island in Kuwait, and geographically, it is sandwiched between the estuaries of Kuwait and Iraq, blocking Iraq and the Indian Ocean. The island is very close to the mainland of Iraq and Kuwait, and the shortest point is only 100 meters. The island is sparsely populated, but it has an excellent port and supply depot, and is a strategic and transportation point. Iraq launched the Gulf War in 90 to seize the island, but it was finally beaten bloody......"

"Okay, okay, you don't have to give me ...... knowledge of geography" Zhao Zejun laughed, waved his hand and said: "It's this island, I have business partners with a very strong sea transportation route, every time I transport goods, I land on this island, and then transport them to Iraq." ”

Lei Jun was stunned for a moment, and said unexpectedly: "If this is the case, then the construction of a factory in Iraq is definitely a unique advantage, and no one can compare." ”

"It's not my advantage, it's my partner's advantage, and if he really invests in the future, he will definitely be involved." Zhao Zejun said.

This partner is naturally Tianlong Trading.

Tianlong Trade can become one of the top foreign trade import and export companies in southern Jiangsu Province and even the whole country, and make a lot of money from foreign trade transactions, which is almost a big money with your eyes closed.

Why?

It depends on the relationship on these 'fairways'.

Speaking of freighters, there are really few Tianlong, most of them are also rented, but in many sea areas and regions, Tianlong's ships can move unimpeded, and other companies' ships just can't pass.

This is the unique capital and core competitiveness of Tianlong. Don't look at Tianlong Lao Sun, who is inconspicuous, but in Southern Jiangsu Province, he has always been a figure in the innermost circle.

In the past, the Star Factory sold to Iraq, a small part of the military took the air route, and most of the civilian use was transported by Tianlong, and there was never any mistake.

"Mr. Zhao, if you say that, I don't have any doubts." Lei Jun said.

"Well, I'll unify the opinions of the domestic partners first, and then go to Iraq to talk about it. We'll get back in touch when we're a little bit more visible. Zhao Zejun said.

"Okay, then I won't stay longer, and I'll make some preparations when I go back." Lei Jun said.

Zhao Zejun got up, sent Lei Jun downstairs, and turned around and returned to the box on the second floor.

After a while, the box door was pushed open again, and Tianlong Sun walked in with a smile.

Lao Sun and Zhao Zejun are much more familiar, after entering the door, they looked around, and saw that there was no waiter, so he poured a large cup of hot water and hugged his hands warmer, and said: "Brother, I saw someone on the way in just now, it seems to be Xiaomi Lei Jun, looking for you?" ”

"Did you say hello?" Zhao Zejun asked with a smile.

"No, I look like it from afar, I've seen it once in Dayang Village before, but I'm not familiar with it, so I didn't go up." Lao Sun said.

"I'll probably get familiar with it later." Zhao Zejun said.

"How?" Lao Sun sucked the hot tea and said, "He has a freight business? Yes, how long has Xiaomi been established and sold overseas? ”

"It's not your brother's proposal yet." Zhao Zejun said: "The last time you talked about Iraq, I thought about it seriously and was ready to start investing. I invite you to come here today to talk about this matter. ”
