"If you agree to replace it with an oil field, it's easy to solve. Moreover, it is a win-win cooperation model! Liu Yijiu saw that the other party did not answer his words, and after adding, he did not continue to say anything.

Crown Prince Sultan had no way to make a decision on this matter, only King Fahd could decide on such a deal.

It is better to win a mermaid than to win a fish, this is an eternal truth.

What's more, China's equipment exports need a market. Now, Liu Yijiu is just to lay the foundation for China's equipment manufacturing industry to go abroad in the future.

In a short period of time, China's equipment exports are not very realistic, the country's industrial base is being upgraded, and a more complete supporting system has not yet been established, and the huge China has no basis for competing with the equipment manufacturing industry in Europe and the United States.

Just because you can't compete doesn't mean you don't have any competition.

Iraq's oil fields are indeed easy to obtain, but the country will be in turmoil in the future, which will definitely affect the entire oil production.

The same is true of Iran, if Khomeini does not die, there will be no change in Iran's domestic policy, and the Americans, who lead the European countries, will impose economic sanctions on this country that hates them. This sanction lasted for more than 30 years from the 80s, and the international influence of US imperialism was only loosened when the mess in the Middle East continued to decline, and the European countries were almost unable to support themselves due to the economic crisis.

The oil-for-food program is not just for Iraq. It is even more aimed at Iran.

Owning a mushroom bomb is the dream of any country.

"What? They have such a big appetite that they want to get oil fields from us! Fahd didn't expect it at all. The Chinese will make such a request.

The reason why Saudi Arabia has been able to maintain its autonomy among the many great powers is because Saudi Arabia has all the oil fields in its hands. A large part of these oil fields are in the hands of the royal family, and because of this, they can support the luxurious living expenses of the entire royal family.

Now China wants to get oil fields from them, which for the king is tantamount to cutting meat from him.

"Your Majesty, the appetite of the Chinese is not our oil field. Rather, we hope to enter the petroleum equipment manufacturing market through our oil field. China's production costs are low, although the technology is not good, but their country has begun to carry out reform and opening up. While attracting foreign investment, it is also hoped to increase their exports...... "Liu Yijiu's reasons were indeed to persuade Crown Prince Sultan.

He began to use Liu Yijiu's reasons to persuade His Majesty the King.

"Among them. It is not only a very big promotion for their domestic manufacturing industry. At the same time, it is also very good for us at present, this time we launched OPEC for the sake of the United States' strategy of dragging down the Soviet Union, and increased oil production, but the growth of international demand for oil cannot keep up with the ...... at all," Sultan said, observing the king's reaction, and seeing that the king did not have a big overreaction, he continued to speak. "When this strategic plan of the United States finally succeeds or fails, we still have to join OPEC. Otherwise, this will make the entire OPEC member unite to resist us, which will already offend the Soviet Union, and it will not be in our national interest to let the Americans list us as enemies...... A small part of the oil fields are given to China, and once China's domestic economy develops, as long as their demand for oil increases, they will expand the production of oil fields, and this part can be counted outside the OPEC oil quota......"

These are all things that Liu Yijiu said.

Although it may seem impossible, it is very easy to operate.

Even if it is condemned internationally, there is no way.

Chinese to extract oil, it is their own oil field, and for every barrel of crude oil they extract in Saudi Arabia's domestic oil fields, they will pay taxes to the Saudi royal family......

"What do you think about such a cooperation model? If we expand our cooperation with China to such an extent, it will have a very big impact on our strategic relationship with Europe and the United States. At the same time, our relationship with China will change a lot! "The king's main concern is Saudi Arabia's international relations.

Saudi Arabia has not established diplomatic relations with China until now, and this is largely due to the influence of Western countries on the entire Saudi royal family.

"Our purchase of strategic weapons and equipment such as the DF-3 from China will have a very big impact on our relations with the United States. China is also a way back for ourselves. Sultan said through gritted teeth.

What he meant was to make the king reconsider his relationship with China and Saudi Arabia's attitude toward the U.S. government.

"Moreover, we have purchased so many strategic weapons from China, and we will continue to cooperate in the future, and continue to maintain a state of non-diplomatic relations is of little use to Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the establishment of diplomatic relations can expand economic cooperation and exchanges between our two sides and promote relations between the two countries. Our country is a big country in terms of oil and finance, but not in other areas...... Nor is it possible for the two countries to continue to establish political recognition and diplomatic relations. Although there are many oil reserves, sooner or later they will be exhausted, how will our country develop then? ”

The king frowned.

It seems that Sultan thinks more deeply than he does.

Moreover, the ambitions are even greater.

However, he did not speak, but waited for him to continue.

"China began to carry out reform and opening up in 79 years, and opened several special economic zones, the main purpose of which is to attract foreign capital into the Chinese market to help China develop its economy, and at the same time, increase foreign exchange reserves, and introduce technology from abroad to develop the domestic economy...... "Sultan is not without ideas about China's reform and opening up.

King Fahd did the same, but his face showed a very deep concern: "China is a communist regime, and who knows if their policies will change, and if they do, all our investments will be wasted." Now that China is reforming and opening up, the capital entering the country is only from Japan and Taiwan. Japan, that's because it hurt China too much during World War II, and there is news that a lot of the funds are Japan's war reparations to China...... As for Taiwan, their economy is now obviously sluggish, and they need cheap labor from the mainland to reduce the cost of their international competition and enhance their competitiveness! ”

The whole world is currently waiting to see China's reform and opening up, and many enterprises are small tentative investments.

As a wise king, since Fahd wants to build a strategic force for Saudi Arabia, he will naturally not be a person who has no ability.

The future of Saudi Arabia, this is something that any king should think about. Especially what they should do after the oil is extracted. Saudi Arabia's huge oil exports have given Saudi Arabia a large amount of foreign exchange, which has been invested by the Saudi government in the financial sector and in the European and American world.

At present, the economy of Europe and the United States is also not very prosperous, and the huge amount of money cannot find the direction of investment.

As a rising economic power, China's huge population and vast land area make China have a very rich market and development potential.

Once China's economy develops, there will be a huge opportunity for the Saudi government to invest its huge money.

"That's true, so we definitely can't invest too much at the beginning and try it out gradually. Now the United States and Western countries are probing...... "If it were not for the contact with Liu Yijiu and the assurances from Liu Yijiu that China's reform and opening up policy would not change in the next 100 years at least, Sultan would not have dared to suggest that the king invest in China."

For China, any multi-million dollar foreign exchange is very important.

Saudi Arabia's investment will only be a few million?

"So what projects do we invest in?" King Fahd asked, frowning.

Many of China's domestic money-making industries are closed to foreign investment.

"High-tech project! And, we need to resettle our citizens. Gradually take advantage of these opportunities to build our scientific and technological system. Science and technology are the driving force for the development of the future world, and it is also the direction of development. We have a very big advantage in cooperating with China in this area! ”

As for what aspects of investing in China, Sultan also heard from Liu Yijiu's mouth.

The Ninth Academy has a large number of civilian production units, and according to Bandar's investigation, it seems that as long as there is any money to be made, the Ninth Yuan will intervene.

At present, the civilian units of the entire Ninth Courtyard have very good income.

More importantly, many of the civilian units under the Ninth Academy are high-tech or basic science and technology enterprises related to military science and technology.

If it can negotiate with the other party, Saudi Arabia can intervene in this, whether it can make money, and more importantly, Saudi Arabia can take advantage of the opportunity of cooperation to send many highly educated talents in Saudi Arabia to China to study, and then come back to establish Saudi Arabia's military industrial system.

Such a suggestion, naturally, is very attractive to King Fahd.

Saudi Arabia is not allowed to invest in any military-related industries in the United States. It is precisely because of this that Saudi Arabia's personal investment has completely abandoned the industry and turned to the development of the financial industry.

Negotiations at the air base have been going on, Liu Yijiu originally fooled Saudi Arabia to buy more conventional equipment with more money, but these guys actually want to invest in China's industry, and they still have to cooperate with the Ninth Academy to develop high-tech things.

This was something he really didn't expect.

In his consistent understanding, the Saudis have always only played finance and not industry.

Of course, there is still a lot of industrial cooperation with China, and there was once a program called "The Great Power Heavy Weapon", which told about the cooperation project of a large fertilizer factory. (To be continued.) )
