Chapter 479: To each according to his needs

It turned out that the Kuwaiti royal family considered that it was precisely because of Fang Mingyuan's reminder to Prince Abdullah that the oil field fire incident in Kuwait was avoided. At that time, the soldiers who invaded the oil field area of Kuwait found explosives near many oil wells, and most of the oil fields in Kuwait are self-blowing wells, which are very difficult to extinguish once ignited. According to the statistics of the departments concerned, if this situation had not been detected in time and the Iraqis had been successful, the value of the oil burned alone would have been tens of billions of dollars, and the chain economic losses caused by this would have been incalculable. The Kuwaiti royal family, as well as the royal families of the surrounding Arab countries, were really sweating at that time.

This is naturally a little more grateful to Fang Mingyuan, so for Fang Mingyuan's stake in the oil field, the Kuwaiti royal family's resistance is not strong, and considering that Fang Mingyuan has a close relationship with Hong Kong tycoons and high-level Chinese leaders, Kuwait's situation is not good now, the Iraqis were driven back to China, but Saddam Hussein did not step down, and Iraq, which was injured, was also stronger than Kuwait. In order to ensure the security of Kuwait and the rest of the Middle East, the Americans must be required to garrison troops, but this is easier said than done, and if it is ...... Maybe you need to borrow Huaxia's liliang.

Moreover, the royal family of Kowico also wants to take this opportunity to open up the Chinese crude oil market, after this war, Kuwait can be said to have suffered heavy losses, the treasury, as well as a large number of private wealth was transported to Iraq during the occupation, and now although the war has stopped, but how much compensation can be claimed from Iraq, no one counts in their hearts. However, Kuwait's military payments to the United States, as well as its share of the cost of garrisoning troops in the future, are imminent. As a result, the Kuwaiti government is now financially underwhelming. Opening up new markets and expanding export earnings is on the agenda.

Although China is still an oil exporter, compared with the 80s, the number of oil exports from China has shrunk sharply, and considering the rapid development of China in recent years, the Kuwaiti government believes that China will soon become an oil importer, and now it is taking precautions and paving the way in advance. As a result, Fang Mingyuan invested $1 billion to acquire 25 percent of the shares in the Calafar oil field. The Qafar oil field was only discovered by Kuwait in the 80s, and it has only been more than three years since it was officially exploited, so it can be said that it is an extremely high-quality asset.

Of course, Prince Abdullah will only say that the Kuwaiti royal family is grateful to Fang Mingyuan for his help during the Gulf War and for preserving valuable oil resources for Kuwait, so he sold 25% of the shares of the Qafar oil field to Fang Mingyuan. "Fang, tomorrow after meeting the emir, the equity book of the oil field will be officially handed over to you."

"That's too much, isn't it?" Fang Mingyuan said excitedly. The value of crude oil exported by the Calafar oil field in a year is more than one billion US dollars, isn't it, it only takes less than three years for this investment to pay for itself, and this amount, as time goes by, will continue to rise, thinking about the previous life, when the barrel of oil was pushed up to more than one hundred and fifty US dollars, Fang Mingyuan's heart was going to bloom.

"No more, no less," Prince Abdullah shook his head, "and your merits are really insignificant. The emir also understands, but please also understand that our country's oil industry has gone to great lengths to completely nationalize from Western oil companies, and it is already the limit to be able to agree that you hold a quarter of the equity of the Calafar oil field, no matter how high it is, even the emir will not be able to agree. Moreover, this 25% of the shares are not open to the public, and the Qafar oil field is still a state-owned oil field, so if you plan to transfer the oil field shares, you can only transfer them to our government. ”

"I understand, I understand your country's difficulties, I can understand it." Fang Mingyuan nodded again and again. He also knows that it took a lot of trouble for the Arab countries to take back the oil industry from the hands of the European and American multinational oil corporations, and if they rashly open this opening for themselves now, the reaction of the European and American countries will certainly be great. Kuwait has just been restored with the help of the Liliang of European and American countries, and Iraq is still eyeing it from the sidelines, so naturally it is unwilling to offend European and American countries. However, he was already unexpectedly satisfied with this result, and he would never do anything that was greedy enough to swallow elephants.

Prince Abdullah looked at Fang Mingyuan in some surprise, he didn't expect that Fang Mingyuan would accept it so happily. You must know that many people in the Kuwaiti royal family think that Fang Mingyuan will be very dissatisfied with such a result, after all, the Kuwaiti government has obtained and paid a little disproportionately, especially the clause that the shares of the Qafal oilfield cannot be transferred to the outside world. In order to persuade Fang Mingyuan not to be angry, but also to ensure that the good relationship between himself and Fang Mingyuan will not be affected - he values Fang Mingyuan, his nobleman, it is Fang Mingyuan who has made Prince Abdullah's status in the Kuwaiti royal family change decisively in just one year, so Prince Abdullah thought of words of consolation, but all of them were stillborn, and they were useless at all

"Your Royal Highness? His Royal Highness the Prince? Looking at Prince Abdullah's somewhat straight gaze, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a little chill on his body, he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, shouldn't this person be under too much pressure at work and have a new habit? He couldn't help but glance at the distance, and when he saw Chen Zhong's figure, his heart was a little more stable.

Prince Abdullah was called several times by Fang Mingyuan, and then he came to his senses, of course, he would not understand that the worry on Fang Mingyuan's face and eyes was due to Weishenme. Otherwise, His Royal Highness the prince would definitely be so angry that he already had four wives and nine children, and he would be considered to have a tendency to carry back the mountain

"Fang, you are really unexpected" Prince Abdullah decided to be honest with Fang Mingyuan, if there is any rift in the relationship between the two sides, the most unlucky person is not himself

When Fang Mingyuan figured out that Prince Abdullah's gaffe at that moment was actually because he accepted the other party's conditions so happily and did not bargain, Fang Mingyuan really couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

"Prince Abdullah, I don't refuse to be able to obtain greater benefits, but there is an old saying in our country, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in the right way." It took Fang Mingyuan a lot of words to make Prince Abdullah understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Moreover, I believe that Your Royal Highness the Prince must have tried your best to fight for me, so I think it is good to have the current result. My billion dollars have not been wasted, but have brought me a lot of benefits, and I can also gain the friendship of your government and His Royal Highness the Prince, which is enough" Fang Mingyuan patted Prince Abdullah's ass without a trace. Naturally, he would not tell Prince Abdullah that he was planning to cast a long line to catch a big fish. In the era of soaring crude oil prices in the future, it will not be easy to have a strong spokesperson in the Middle East.

Prince Abdullah was moved by Fang Mingyuan's words......
