1) Thank you to the book friends Black Magic Cloud, Mei Wa, and Thunder Beast King for their monthly thanks.

Ping Pong's tip.

Thank you for the evaluation votes of the book friend Binghua Yuluo.

I beg you for a guaranteed monthly pass for February.

Also, for the sake of the lone wolf's accelerated update, let's give more recommendation votes! Lu Zhengde naturally can't directly contact the royal family members of Kuwait, and Fang Mingyuan doesn't want to contact Kuwait through the embassy personnel in Huaxia.

With the participation of the embassy staff, this donation will undoubtedly have political significance, although Fang Mingyuan does not mind helping the Chinese government win a little favor from the Kuwaiti royal family by the way, but this matter will become troublesome and sensitive.

This huge income from oil futures will be more easily exposed.

In China in the 90s, both the government and individuals still need to improve their awareness of the protection of private property.

Fang Mingyuan didn't want to become the fat in the eyes of those ** officials, and everyone would cut a few knives to beat the autumn breeze.

What's more, even if Fang Mingyuan handed over some of his wealth to the government, it would not necessarily be able to satisfy the greed of those officials, and only God knows where the money will be spent in the end.

In previous lives, whenever the country encountered a natural disaster, it would mobilize large-scale donations of funds and materials, but the use of these funds and materials was never explained in detail to donors.

Judging from the situation that was revealed later, one-third of what can really be used for disaster relief and disaster relief can be used, and that is a very good result.

It is an indisputable fact that large sums of money and materials will be misappropriated by governments at all levels to make up for the financial deficit left by various reasons, or to build government buildings, or simply become the welfare of local governments.

For this point, Fang Mingyuan naturally dismisses both sides, and although this money is a lot, it is for individuals, if you really want to make some achievements or change something, it is far from enough! Fang Mingyuan naturally does not want to let this hard-won huge amount of money be handed over to those greedy officials to squander.

As long as you look at the previous life, how many people on Hurun's mainland rich list would fall every year, you can understand the wisdom of the ancients.

Without the participation of embassy personnel, it means that Su Huandong will not be of much help to him in this area, but fortunately, Guo's Shipping Group Company has also been operating in the Middle East for many years, and Mr. Guo, as the leader of Hong Kong's shipping industry, also has certain connections in the Middle East, so this time when he came to Saudi Arabia, Fang Mingyuan did not have to touch everywhere like a headless fly.

Lu Zhengde arranged the accommodation of Fang Mingyuan and the two, and he didn't care that he was also tired from the journey, so he hurriedly contacted Robert Dudleyway.

As the chief representative in Kuwait of the British Fuqiu Petroleum Holdings, which buys millions of tons of oil every year, Robert Dudleyway is also quite well-known among high-level people in Kuwait and knows many members of the Kuwaiti royal family.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Kuwait's entangled relationship with Britain before independence.

Although the Kuwaiti royal family took back ownership of the oil company during the oil crisis, as a former British colony, the influence of the British is still pervasive here.

Most obviously, while the official language of Kuwait is Arabic, the lingua franca is English.

And the British, the potential influence in Kuwait, is something that no country can ignore.

As the chief representative of the British Fudy Petroleum Holding Company in Kuwait, Robert Dudleyway's life is still good, except for the entertainment activities, which is relatively hidden, which makes him feel a little inconvenient as an Englishman, the treatment in other aspects is still very good.

Not only does he have a high salary, a mansion and a good car provided by the company, but also a huge salary subsidy, which is enough to ensure that he can live an enviable life in Kuwait.

A significant amount of savings can also be repatriated back to the country every year.

Every once in a while, he can also return to China for paid vacation, and the company reimburses the round-trip air ticket.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in an Arab country, he really wanted to take over all his wives and children.

When Iraq invaded Kuwait, although the Iraqi soldiers did not dare to challenge the authority of the British government easily, Dudleyway quickly withdrew to Saudi Arabia for the sake of safety.

But he soon rejoiced in his wise actions.

After Iraq's occupation of Kuwait, although it did not make it difficult for the diplomats and representatives of companies from various countries in Kuwait, it was not an easy task to leave the country.

Many of the non-Arab employees of Fudy Petroleum Holdings' Kuwait office were able to get out of Kuwait only after heavily bribing Iraqi officers.

Since the situation in the Gulf is still uncertain, the Fudy Petroleum Holding headquarters gave Dudley an order to stay in Saudi Arabia.

With nothing to do, he had to wait for further instructions in his hotel in the port of Jeddah.

Just ten minutes earlier, he had received an order from the headquarters of Fudy Petroleum Holdings to introduce a Chinese from Hong Kong to the Kuwaiti royal family, much to Dudliwe's deep puzzlement.

If there is any political mission, Kuwait and China have established diplomatic relations for many years, and it can be conveyed through the Kuwaiti Embassy in China, and if not, it can also be conveyed through the personnel of the Chinese Embassy in Saudi Arabia.

If it is a commercial matter, as far as he knows, China is still an oil exporter today, and does not import oil from the Middle East at all, and the current Kuwaiti royal family is a government-in-exile and has lost the ability to control Kuwaiti territory, so it is impossible to fulfill the ability to export oil.

Besides, if you want to import oil, can Huaxia find Saudi Arabia?

However, confusion is confused, and the tasks sent by the headquarters must still be carried out without discount.

Now he has to wait.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Lu Zhengde's call to reach him.

Since Fudy Petroleum Holdings also has business in Hong Kong and sometimes has business dealings with Kwok's Shipping Group, although he is not very familiar with Lu Zhengde of the Kwok's Shipping Group Company's office in Saudi Arabia, he has several acquaintances.

However, after answering Lu Zhengde's call, Du Deliwei's doubts in his heart were even greater, although he had learned that the guide of the person who came was guaranteed by Guo Dongcheng, the owner of the Kwok Shipping Group Company, but they asked Du Deliwei to introduce Prince Fahd's bereaved family, or the Kuwaiti royal family, to take over Prince Fahd's position in the Olympic Council of Asia, this request made Du Deliwei even more confused.

Kwok's Shipping Group Company, he naturally knows, is the largest shipping group company in Hong Kong, the Oriental Pearl Hong Kong, and is also well-known in the entire East Asian shipping industry.

As the largest shareholder of Guo's Shipping Group Company, Mr. Guo Dongcheng, who holds an absolute controlling stake, is also a top figure among the wealthy families in Hong Kong.

But what exactly do they want to do? Prince Fahd is the youngest brother of the current emir of Kuwait and a banner of the Kuwaiti royal family in the international sports circles; when Iraq invaded Kuwait, he died in battle with his two sons in the Kuwaiti royal palace, and became a hero in the minds of Kuwaitis and even Arab countries in the eyes of the rebels.

What did Guo Dongcheng send people to do again? I haven't heard that he had any intimate relationship with Prince Fahd before? Moreover, if he can't introduce Prince Fahd's bereaved family, he has to find a member of the royal family who has taken over Prince Fahd's position in the Olympic Council of Asia, which is even more strange.

However, it is still the same sentence, strange is strange, he still has to complete the task sent by the headquarters! After some contact, Dudliwei found that Prince Fahd's bereaved family is not currently in Saudi Arabia, and the emir of Kuwait is also grief-stricken by the martyrdom of his youngest brother, and naturally he is also very concerned about his bereaved family.

Now Iraq not only occupies Kuwait, but also has troops on the border of Saudi Arabia, Saddam Hussein is even more wanton accusations against the Saudi Arabian royal family, although the first two groups of US troops have been stationed in Saudi Arabia, but the proportion of the number of people between the two sides is absolutely inferior, Kuwaiti emir is worried that Saddam may attack Saudi Arabia at any time, so for insurance, Prince Fahd's bereaved family members have been sent to European countries to settle down.

Prince Abdullah is the son of Prince Fahd's elder brother, who succeeded him in Kuwait's sporting role after his death.

However, the Kuwaiti royal family has long been in chaos, and due to the hasty exile, not much money has been brought out of the Kuwaiti treasury, and Kuwait's overseas funds have been frozen by various countries one after another to prevent Iraq from evading these assets.

But it also caused inconvenience to the Kuwaiti royal family.

Moreover, in order to restore the country, Kuwait is bound to bear part of the military expenses of the US military, which is a huge amount of tens of billions of dollars, so the funds that can be used by the Kuwaiti royal family are a bit stretched.

Although it is said that it can borrow money from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other Arab countries, the Kuwaiti royal family is still very clear about the principle of having short hands and eating people's mouths, and no one dares to say when it will be able to return to the country and get back the property belonging to the Kuwaiti royal family.

Moreover, the lives of a large number of Kuwaiti nationals who have fled from Kuwait to Saudi Arabia also need to be settled by the government, so it is natural for the Kuwaiti royal family to cut back on food and clothing.

At present, the most important overseas sports event in which Kuwait participates is the Asian Games to be held in the capital of China next month, and the Emir of Kuwait has made it clear that even if all the Kuwaiti athletes who were originally scheduled to die for their country, they must organize a team to go to China to announce to the whole country that the Kuwaiti government still exists! However, in terms of the funds for the competition, Prince Abdullah has only received one-fifth of the scheduled funds, and he still needs to find a way to raise the rest.
