Chapter 0008 Business Negotiations
In fact, the Gulf region has always been short of weapons, yes, because of religion, politics, and material output, it has been a place of a hundred battles since World War II. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is mainly the global demand for oil.
Years of war, the consumption of weapons is considerable. But there is not much to add, mainly the arms embargo imposed by the international community. The ones that can be sold to them are superpowers, the prices are ridiculously high, and there are not many of them.
However, this cooperation with Jia Hongtu has made the eyes of Middle Easterners shine. The quantity is sufficient, the price is cheap, and it is all-round, even nuclear submarines and warships can be bought. However, this can only be said of the sincerity of the Chinese side, and there are few Arab countries that have navies, and even if they do, they are all small ships, and people will not be able to drive a nuclear submarine if they send it back, not to mention that if they can't use it in Mashan, they must not be sunk by Lao Mi as a seabed filler.
But warships can, this can be available, the price is a little expensive, but it's not a big problem, the Middle Eastern royal family doesn't have anything else, it's just money.
Since receiving this list, Abdullah's status in the palace has skyrocketed. When I just took over the position of regent, I still had some **** ideas. But this time, everyone felt that Abdullah was capable, and weapons have always been a pain in the hearts of Arab countries.
Abdullah also knew what an opportunity was, so he called Jia Hongtu early in the morning to confirm it immediately.
"Alimu, yes. I can be sure of the sincerity of our Huaxia in this matter, but I am thinking about oil for arms. I think it will be easier for everyone to trade. After all, large-scale financial flows will certainly attract the attention of the international community. Of course, there will be rumors on our side that we have signed an oil purchase plan with the Saudi royal family. Then we sent a ship and brought weapons. Fill up the gas and come back, so I think it should be a happy situation for everyone. Jia Hongtu first asked tentatively.
That's right, if you send a ship directly, it is estimated that it will be intercepted by the Seventh Fleet of the United States on the way. If there is a Zhengda bright deal, there will be a certain reason for even interception, right? Moreover, Jia Hongtu's plan is to test the depth of the water first, and then do it occasionally, after all, there are tens of billions of arms sales, and there is not much to see in fact.
"In exchange for oil? So how do you calculate the price? Abdullah was a little confused, after all, there would be a price difference in exchange.
"The old rule, ten dollars a barrel, how much we place in the purchase order is calculated according to your order. The freight is evenly shared, it is us when we go, and you are you when we come back. In this way, no one suffers. ”
"Oh, I'll have to discuss this with the other ministers, wait for me in an hour, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer." Abdullah hesitated for a moment before explaining the situation, then hung up the phone and immediately called an emergency meeting.
Soon Jia Hongtu received another call from Abdullah, and asked for a fax number from Jia Hongtu. The order is out.
There are 400 main battle tanks, 200 Dongfeng missiles, and a large amount of equipment, including artillery shells and conventional weapons, guns and ammunition, with a total value of 520 million US dollars. Of course, Abdullah and Jahon Tu said that this first phase of procurement is not yet known about the current development of the situation and the attrition of the future war. Moreover, it was generous to say that Saudi Arabia would bear all the transportation costs, and the oil-for-arms plan was approved. In fact, only 70 million tons of oil were exchanged in the end of the whole plan. Personally, it's a lot, but Saudi Arabia now produces about 330 million tons a year, which is really not too much.
And Jia Hongtu's second plan came out immediately, about various cooperation for oil plans, and was willing to let Abdullah be the intermediary and contact other Arab countries. Abdullah is also very concerned about these cooperation projects. Saudi Arabia is not short of money, it is only members of the royal family, and others can't even afford to buy a TV. Just like the mobile phone business that Jia Hongtu did with him before, it was also a bargain. There is simply no market for high-end stuff here because it cannot be bought.
For example, drinking water. This bottled water, which costs a dollar in China, costs about $2 in Saudi Arabia. Because water is very expensive, in some parts of the Middle East, such as Dubai, a bottle of water costs US$7. The price of a shower is a few tens of dollars. Fresh water, something that is lacking in the Gulf countries as a whole, and of course electricity. Electricity is also a big sore spot for the Gulf countries, because of the lack of electricity, that is, the lack of power sources, many things are useless in the Gulf region. For example, a washing machine, where there is a shortage of water and electricity, have you bought a rice cylinder? For example, the air conditioner, no point, do you think it's a wall clock?
Abdullah is a businessman and has a strong sensitivity to this. Previously, a number of companies in the country were also willing to exchange oil for cooperation plans. However, the Arabs vetoed it, because there are such cases in Iran. After the investment, the company is also operating, but only oil is out, but no profit is seen.
But Huaxia is different, people are out of technology and relatively equal investment, but in terms of returns, they don't want dollars, just oil. What a kind people, long live friendship. Millions of tons of oil are burned in the Gulf every year. According to Jia's vision, there will be water in almost the whole country. Therefore, Abdullah agreed, and promised that even if other countries don't want it, he will definitely cooperate with Huaxia.
With the report card in hand, Jia Hongtu found Bian Xi. Bian Xi didn't expect that in one night, Jia Hongtu's business had been completed. Not only did one succeed, but many of them were done. This is really more popular than people, and the armed smuggling between China and Burma, China and Thailand, and China and Vietnam was very laborious, and they did it overnight.
And if you look at the price, $10 a barrel is the same as Ming grab. You must know that the current market price is $15 a barrel, that is, the direct profit is $4.2 per barrel. So, how much is 52 million barrels? More than 210 million, the total Huaxia currency is more than 1.7 billion. If you add the money earned by nearly 520 million weapons orders, it will be 2.7 billion Huaxia coins at once. Printing money is nothing more than that, right?
Of course, this is the first transaction. And, those co-op programs. At the meeting last night, everyone conservatively estimated that they could earn 100 billion Huaxia coins a year. According to Jia Hongtu's algorithm of 10 US dollars a barrel, it is estimated that there will be a profit of 260 billion, which is really a great achievement.
Bian Xi didn't dare to delay this matter, and immediately ran to Zhongnanhai while making a phone call. The last person to make the decision must be the chairman, and this matter is basically nine out of ten.
Bian Xi made a phone call, and the entire Zhongnanhai moved again. This time things were a little too smooth, making a lot of people feel less real, think about it, have been trying to sell no one dares to buy. There are not many ways to make money, after all, it has just started, and nothing has started. But how did it happen all at once?
