Chapter 232: Bad News

Prince Maktum's words are actually a kind of temptation, he wants to see Fang Mingyuan's expectations for the future profitability of this envisaged hotel, if Fang Mingyuan has confidence in him, with his current net worth, he will naturally not refuse his invitation, and if even Fang Mingyuan himself does not have enough confidence, then Prince Maktum will have to think about it seriously. Although Prince Maktum has been captivated by the hotel that is destined to be the first luxury hotel in Shijie in the future, he has not yet indulged in the rush to the point of rushing into the house without thinking it through.

Fang Mingyuan has been happy in his heart, the Burj Al Arab Hotel, since its completion, has been amazing to the world, although the investment is huge, but the income is also very considerable, mastering its equity, it is a good business that is difficult to buy in the future. "If Prince Maktum and your country allow it, I can build this project as a sole proprietorship, but I don't know, according to the laws of your country, is this kind of situation allowed?"

Prince Maktum's cheeks were slightly hot, and in the United Arab Emirates, it is true that foreigners are not allowed to establish sole proprietorship enterprises in the country, even in the wine industry. Although he is the prince of the Emirate of Dubai, he cannot disobey the law. However, in this way, Prince Maktum is also relieved, and Fang Mingyuan's words show that he is extremely confident in the hotel's future profit prospects. That's enough for him.

"I'm sorry, according to the laws of the United Arab Emirates, foreign nationals cannot occupy a controlling position in the United Arab Emirates' companies, if you are willing to invest, I can give you 15% of the shares for 100 million US dollars!" Fang Mingyuan once mentioned that in the end, the cost of the hotel should be about one billion US dollars, and Prince Maktum Jr. generously transferred five percent more shares. It can be regarded as a reward for Fang Mingyuan, the designer, and the reward of 50 million US dollars is also very generous. Fang Mingyuan nodded with a regretful face, although he couldn't get a share that satisfied him, but he got it, and it was enough to make many people blush in the future" "Prince Maktum, thank you for your generosity, since that's the case, I will accept it with a cheeky face." ”

Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah smiled with relief, since Fang Mingyuan also wants to invest in it, then they will be Luo Zhu on a rope, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. In order to maintain and increase the value of Fang Mingyuan's own investment, Fang Mingyuan will also do his best in the construction of the Burj Al Arab. Compared with such a gain, the mere 50 million dollars, Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah did not pay attention to it at all. Moreover, in their opinion, there is nothing to be afraid of those who can be bought by profits.

Since taking over the task of taking over the prince of Maktu, Prince Abdullah has also asked around the corner, how Fang Mingyuan is willing to give the whole idea, but Fang Mingyuan always talks about him left and right, and has never given an exact letter, so Prince Maktum decided to try again.

Prince Maktum smiled and said, "Fang, then."

At this time, the phone in the car suddenly rang, and Prince Maktum picked it up, and without listening to a few words, his face immediately became gloomy.

"Abdullah, I just received the news that Sadayau has just announced that the territory of Kuwait will be incorporated into Iraq's territory, and the territory of Kuwait will be divided into two parts, one part will be annexed to Iraq's Basra Province, and the other part is that Prince Maktum, who has just established a province, has lost the interest of talking to Fang Mingyuan again, and said to Prince Abdullah with a gloomy face.

"What?. Prince Abdullah exclaimed in disbelief, "Saddam Hussein, the devil, he actually openly annexed our country?." After Iraq invaded Kuwait and drove out the Kuwaiti royal family, it also supported the establishment of a puppet Kuwaiti government in order to confuse the public. Unexpectedly, just ten days have passed, and the Iraqis have shown their hideous faces, and even this fig leaf has been blatantly torn off, openly claiming that Kuwait has been destroyed!

"Yes, Sadyao no longer hides his ambitions for other countries' territories!" Prince Maktum said worriedly, "It seems that this war is inevitable!" Saddam's move is undoubtedly a tough response to the international community's demand that he withdraw his troops from Kuwait and solve the problem peacefully, and this shows that Iraq is bound to Kuwait!

"May Allah send down thunder and slay the demon Saddam!" Prince Abdullah shouted angrily, and before that, many Arab royal families, including the royal family of Pinpinwhit. Huaidu is looking for a peaceful solution to this issue. It is hoped that through the military threat of the international community and the US military, Saddam Hussein will take the initiative to withdraw his troops from the territory of Kochete, so as to resolve the crisis without swords.

In particular, the United Nations Security Council has rarely maintained a unanimous and stern attitude toward Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, and the Soviet Union has unexpectedly announced that it will not support Iraq's action, standing on the same side as the United States, which has surprised many people. You must know that during the Cold War, such similar things happened many times, but each time it was because the Security Council was completely unanimous, and either the United States or the Soviet Union cast a veto, and the other side could only helplessly watch the development of events in an unfavorable direction.

In Prince Abdullah's view, without the support of the Soviet Union behind him, the threat of the Americans not hesitating to fight, and the condemnation of the whole Shijie, Saddam Hussein must be anxious now, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, if someone can hand him a step, maybe the matter will be solved.

The Kuwaiti royal family naturally hated Saddam Hussein and wished to stoning him to death, but they also understood that once a large-scale war broke out, Kuwait would inevitably become the main battlefield of the battle between the two armies, and in that case, Kuwait's achievements over the past few decades might be ruined! Moreover, more importantly, there were a large number of oil wells scattered in Kuwait's territory, and if they were ignited by the flames of war, the consequences would not be conceivable.

In that case, not only Kuwait's economy will suffer a heavy blow, but Kuwait's oil industry will face a devastating blow. The possible environmental pollution in the Persian Gulf cannot be estimated in monetary terms. Therefore, many people still have illusions about the Iraqi government.

But Saddam's move completely destroyed their little hope!

Compared with Prince Abdullah's shock and bewilderment, Prince Mark Tuyao noticed Fang Mingyuan's calm face, as if he had been mentally prepared for this news.

"Fang, you don't seem surprised by this Jiang Xi?" Prince Maktum asked bluntly.

Fang Mingyuan naturally did not tell him that not only did he know that Saddam Hussein would not compromise on the Kuwait issue at this time, but also knew that Saddam Hussein still refused to withdraw his troops from Kuwait even after the UN Security Council issued a decision to use force. That war madman can't be inferred by common sense at all. "Prince Mark Tuyao, I personally think that this is probably just the beginning, and in the future, maybe President Saddam Hussein of Iraq will do something even more surprising to us. ”

"What surprises us even more?" repeated Prince Maktum in surprise. He couldn't think of anything more surprising and unacceptable than this.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a while, he decided to show his "ability" in Shijie politics in front of Prince Mark Tuyao, which would be beneficial to his future cooperation with these Arabs.

"For example, there are still a large number of nationals from Western countries stranded in Iraq and Kuwait, right?" Fang Mingyuan opened the refrigerator in the car while saying small, but was surprised to see that there was actually wine in the refrigerator!

Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah nodded inexplicably, this is very normal, the post-war reconstruction work of the Iran-Iraq war in Iraq and the oil industry in Kuwait have attracted a large number of engineering talents from Western countries to go to work, and there are also a large number of representatives of large companies and enterprises from Western countries in Iraq and Kosovo, as well as media personnel, counting the number of thousands of people. But what do they have to do with Sada Yao. "As we all know, the military strength of the U.S. military is definitely one of the best on the planet, once Saddam Hussein discovers that the U.S. military's attack is inevitable, do you say, will he order the abduction of the nationals of these Western countries as hostages to threaten Western governments and not use force against Iraq?" Fang Mingyuan quietly took out a bottle of drink and closed the refrigerator door.

Fang Mingyuan's words made Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah look at each other, and they were speechless for a long time. Just as Fang Mingyuan said, after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Saddam Hussein did detain the nationals of several countries who were still stranded in Iraq and Kuwait. But according to international law, even in war, harm to civilian targets must be avoided as much as possible, and if Saddam Hussein treats these people as hostages to threaten the international community, it will inevitably trigger greater condemnation from the international community!

Prince Abdullah stammered: "Fang, this, this, it's impossible, right? If Sadaya dares to do this, then wouldn't it be crazy!"
