Chapter 251: Procurement Gifts

When Shi Zhihui and Zhang Baolu hurried to Fang Mingyuan's residence in the city, they were surprised to find that there were two cars with foreign ministry license plates parked in the community, and there were two people guarding the door of Fang Mingyuan's house.

As soon as Shi Zhihui stepped forward and knocked on the door, someone stopped him and lit up the political documents, Shi Zhihui could see that he was actually a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The four of them were taken down again, and they couldn't stop muttering in their hearts......

"Dear Fang, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, right?" Prince Abdullah gave Fang Mingyuan a hug very warmly, being able to see acquaintances in a foreign country, especially his own nobles, Prince Abdullah's mood was naturally exceptionally good.

"Compared with the mansion of His Royal Highness, I am really very simple here, and I ask His Royal Highness the Prince to forgive me. This is really in response to Song Dandan's words, who has run the fastest since ancient times? Cao Cao!

Chai Yan had just said that Prince Abdullah was coming to see Fang Mingyuan, but within three minutes, His Royal Highness Prince Abdullah had already knocked on Fang Mingyuan's door. And what made Fang Mingyuan feel strange was that this person was actually dressed in a suit, and he did not bring servants, but there were two young men who looked like Chinese, standing outside the door.

Lin Lian, who was in the room on the side, hurriedly came out and prepared tea and fruits for Prince Abdullah.

Prince Abdullah looked at Fang Mingyuan's room, and said with a smile: "Fang, this place is not appropriate for your current status." It's a pity that I didn't buy a property in your country, otherwise I would have given you one!"

For Prince Abdullah's behavior of giving away a house at every turn, Fang Mingyuan is now accustomed to it, and today's Huaxia is a villa, and in the eyes of rich Arabs like them, the price of the thatched house is probably not much different.

Prince Abdullah is no stranger to Chai Yan, and at yesterday's reception banquet, he also had a few words with Chai Yan, and he was quite surprised that in China, a woman can still become a senior official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I didn't expect to meet again today.

Chai Yan said hello to Prince Abdullah generously, then took Lin Lian to the second bedroom, leaving the living room to Prince Abdullah and Fang Mingyuan.

Prince Abdullah came this time to make a pre-stop for the Kuwaiti Asian Games delegation, to inspect all aspects of the Asian Games Village, and whether it can provide perfect services to Kuwaiti athletes.

With the further deterioration of the situation in the Gulf, more and more Kuwaitis have fled from China to Saudi Arabia, and in order to escape the interception and pursuit of the Iraqis, most of these Kuwaitis arrived in Saudi Arabia empty-handed, and many Kuwaitis who have no deposits in foreign banks can only survive on the relief funds of the Saudi Arabian Government and the Kuwaiti Government after arriving in Saudi Arabia, and this has undoubtedly brought greater difficulties to the Kuwaiti Government, which is already short of funds.

Prince Abdullah pointed out that although the goods of European and American countries are exquisite in workmanship and good quality, in terms of basic daily necessities, Chinese goods have more price advantages. And now, whether it is Europe or the United States, a large number of basic necessities produced in China are being imported, which is enough to show that the quality of Chinese goods is guaranteed. In fact, this is also what Fang Mingyuan mentioned when he was chatting with him and Prince Maktum when he was in Dubai.

Today's Kuwaiti government is naturally no longer as rich as it was in the past, and how to do the most with the least amount of money has become the goal they tirelessly pursue. Prince Abdullah's proposal was immediately approved by the Emir of Kuwait, and the Asian Games were about to begin, so Prince Abdullah was naturally the most suitable candidate. Regarding his arrival, in fact, before Chai Yan, Fang Mingyuan already knew. But he didn't know that he was still on such a mission.

"Fang, to be honest, I don't know anything about your country's commodity procurement right now, so I have no choice but to ask you for help in this matter. Prince Abdullah pulled out a thick stack of lists from the briefcase beside him and handed it to Fang Mingyuan. When he was in Dubai, he once heard Fang Mingyuan say that he ran a supermarket chain at home, and with such a huge purchase of daily necessities, he believed that Fang Mingyuan had enough procurement channels, and for Chinese people, he currently believed in Fang Mingyuan the most. At the same time, this is also a great gift, and Prince Abdullah hopes that through this move, he can further gain Fang Mingyuan's friendship.

Fang Mingyuan took it and flipped it over, fortunately, there is still Chinese next to the Arabic text, otherwise, Prince Abdullah needs to translate on the spot.

"Rice, noodles, chicken, beef and mutton, clothes, bedding......" There was a list of hundreds of commodities that made Fang Mingyuan's eyes dazzled.

Fang Mingyuan simply didn't look at it, and put it on the coffee table, if it is said that it is all daily necessities, it doesn't matter, now there are many state-owned enterprises in China, and they are worried about unsalable products, and Prince Abdullah's purchase is hundreds of millions of dollars, which is nothing to Huaxia's huge production capacity. In the past few years, Carrefour supermarket has established unimpeded procurement channels with manufacturers from all over the country, and these materials seem to be huge, and it is not a problem to digest them.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, these are all daily necessities?" As long as there are no products banned by the Huaxia government, Fang Mingyuan dares to agree now.

"It's all household items!" replied Prince Abdullah categorically, "but the first shipment is hopefully delivered to Saudi Arabia as soon as possible." Fang, you don't know that Saudi Arabia today has stationed more than 100,000 US troops, and it is still increasing troops, which has caused great pressure on the market of daily necessities in Saudi Arabia, especially in terms of food and meat, and the prices in Saudi Arabia have risen by nearly 30 percent!"

In his previous life, he only cared about what advanced fighters and mighty tanks the US military stationed, and which warships joined the fighting in the Persian Gulf, and he really didn't pay attention to the prices of Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries. If that's the case, it's a business opportunity.

Prince Abdullah noticed the change in Fang Mingyuan's expression, and said with a smile: "Fang, this is just the first batch of procurement lists for our royal family, if the goods can satisfy everyone, I think there will be additional procurement materials." You are my brother Abdullah and a friend of our Kuwaitis, and of course I thought of you first and foremost. ”

"Then I'm going to go first, Your Royal Highness Prince Abdullah. In this way, I will give your country a 90% discount on the normal export price of all goods, which can be regarded as my support for your country's action to recover the country's land. After Fang Mingyuan thanked him, he went to the guest room and handed the list to Lin Lian, and she arranged the personnel to start purchasing immediately.

"This can't be hundreds of millions of yuan!" Chai Yan looked at the long list and the huge amount on it, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, such a large list, not to mention private enterprises, even those state-owned export units, only a few can reach it. Prince Abdullah actually valued Fang Mingyuan so much that he handed over such a large purchase to him!

Although Chai Yan has already gotten the news, Fang Mingyuan seems to have made a lot of gains in Saudi Arabia and the Emirate of Dubai this time, made a lot of money in oil futures, and got acquainted with Prince Abdullah of Kuwait, but now it seems that the relationship between Prince Abdullah and Fang Mingyuan is probably not a simple acquaintance.

After getting Fang Mingyuan's promise to purchase and ship as soon as possible, Prince Abdullah was greatly relaxed, and couldn't help but discuss the situation in the Gulf with Fang Mingyuan again.

"To be honest, the royal families of our Arab countries are very worried, and if the Americans cannot suppress Saddam's ambitions this time, I am afraid that from now on, there will be no peace in the Middle East. Why didn't Allah send down thunder and kill Saddam's butcher!" Prince Abdullah said with hatred.

Fang Mingyuan smiled secretly in his heart, this is what cares about. He did not believe that no Arab country could see that Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait had been a grave violation of the norms of international law and had been universally condemned by the international community. This incident also constitutes an impact on the strategic interests of the countries concerned.

First, it has posed a challenge to the US global strategy of seeking a new hegemonic position in the process of re-establishing the Shijie order after the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, which the Americans will undoubtedly not tolerate; second, it has posed a threat to the thirst of the developed countries of the West for oil resources in the Middle East, which has seriously affected the economic interests of these countries; and third, it has added to the destabilizing factor of the already tense situation in the Middle East, which has aroused strong uneasiness and opposition from the countries in this region. It is these fierce clashes of global and regional political and economic interests that, if not resolved by political means, inevitably lead to the outbreak of war.

The Americans will not tolerate the Middle East oil depots becoming the backyard of the Iraqis! Even if the Americans do not intervene, Britain, France, and Germany will never sit idly by and watch this happen, but the three countries do not have the courage of the Americans, and they actually directly mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to Saudi Arabia and set up the situation of war.

"Prince Abdullah, I believe that your country will be restored, and instead of worrying about this, let me think carefully about how to deal with the greatest crisis facing your country after the war. ”V
