Chapter 756: Diversion to Saudi Arabia
Lu Shaohua has gone to Africa twice, if you count this time, it will be the third time that Lu Shaohua has set foot on African soil, but God didn't let Lu Shaohua get his wish, when Lu Shaohua just stepped on the door of the plane, his mobile phone rang.
Lu Shaohua's mobile phone number is kept secret very well, and there are not many people who know his phone number, and the calls that can be put into his mobile phone are undoubtedly acquaintances, and they are extremely close people.
In fact, Lu Shaohua took out his mobile phone from his pocket and glanced at it, the caller ID was Li Zhijie's mobile phone number, Lu Shaohua almost didn't even think about it, so he directly pressed the answer button, and then put the earpiece of the mobile phone to his ear to listen to what Li Zhijie called him at this time.
And Li Zhijie also spoke when Lu Shaohua answered the phone. "There's something going on in Saudi Arabia, and I want you to come over, well, it's the king of their royal family who invited me."
This is Li Zhijie's original intention of calling Lu Shaohua, Li Zhijie knew that Lu Shaohua would take a special plane to Africa in the morning, and seeing that the time had not yet arrived at Lu Shaohua's boarding time, Li Zhijie immediately called.
Li Zhijie is also helpless, the royal family of Saudi Arabia is one of Lu Shaohua's important partners, and the current relationship is even more like glue, too good, Li Zhijie naturally did not dare to slack off on the invitation over there, and more importantly, Lu Shaohua is coming to Africa, and it will be possible to go to Saudi Arabia after coming.
This is Lu Shaohua's plan, first go to Africa and then Saudi Arabia, which can be regarded as increasing the friendship between the two sides, and then there are many details about oil futures, which also need to be discussed.
Lu Shaohua wants to control oil production, and the royal family of Saudi Arabia plays a crucial role, and if the consent of the Saudi Arabian royal family cannot be convinced, Lu Shaohua's plan cannot be completed.
This is where the problem arises, the Saudi Arabian royal family is already dependent on oil to support a luxurious life, and once the export of oil is reduced, it will lead to a gap in the finances of their royal family, and the problem will follow.
Therefore, if Lu Shaohua wants the Saudi royal family to agree to limit exports, he must solve the financial problems of their royal family. Of course, it is inevitable to give some benefits, although the relationship between the two parties is excellent, but the world is always realistic, who will call you a brother and sister if there is no benefit.
And if he wants to completely solve this matter, Lu Shaohua will have to go to Saudi Arabia. This plan had already been thought out as early as Lu Shaohua's start of playing gold and oil futures, and Li Zhijie had also been notified.
Li Zhijie knew that Lu Shaohua planned to go to Saudi Arabia in person, and when he received the invitation from there, Li Zhijie immediately called Lu Shaohua and wanted to ask Lu Shaohua whether he would maintain the original plan or temporarily change the route and go to Saudi Arabia.
Lu Shaohua was obviously stunned, did not squeak in a hurry, thought about it for a while, and then gave an answer. "I'll change my route and go to Saudi Arabia."
Saudi Arabia must go, and now that he has received an invitation from there, Lu Shaohua thinks that it is better to go over first, first, to show that he is very sincere, and secondly, he has just solved the matter, he can also be direct, and there is no need to run around in Africa in the past.
"Okay, I'll get over there too." Li Zhijie answered.
"Okay."
Lu Shaohua is not proficient in Arabic, although the current king of Saudi Arabia can speak Chinese, but there are important things to say, Lu Shaohua also has to bring a person who can speak Saudi Arabian, so as not to be afraid of being hacked.
What's more important is that Li Zhijie himself is Lu Shaohua's representative, how can he, the representative, not go when the two sides meet, if he doesn't go, it will make people feel insincere, and the impression will be greatly reduced.
…… Now that the decision has been made, the next thing has become much simpler, Lu Shaohua first asked Li Shangkui to notify the pilot, let the pilot change the route, and then wait for Li Zhijie's call.
Lu Shaohua's route was changed, and Lu Shaohua temporarily accepted the invitation of the Saudi Arabian royal family, of course Li Zhijie had to notify that side, and after that side replied, Lu Shaohua set off for it, otherwise he would have been beaten down as soon as the plane entered Saudi Arabia's airspace.
China is not very far from Asia, with the speed of Lu Shaohua's special plane, it will not take an hour to reach it, if it is not in advance, the time is really a little urgent, so Lu Shaohua can only wait helplessly, waiting for Li Zhijie's reply.
However, Lu Shaohua didn't know that he waited for half an hour, and it wasn't until half an hour later that Li Zhijie called again to inform Lu Shaohua that his plane could take off, and everything was ready there.
Originally, with the status of the Saudi Arabian royal family in the country of Saudi Arabia, there was no need to prepare for so long, but after Lu Shaohua waited for half an hour, Lu Shaohua couldn't understand.
But if you don't understand, you don't understand, Lu Shaohua still has to order the pilot to take off.
The special plane took off, and the sound rumbled, fortunately, Lu Shaohua's villa was more readable, and the nearest villa was about 100 meters away, plus Lu Shaohua's special plane was more advanced, and the dry sound was relatively small, so it would not make noise to the surrounding neighbors.
But then again, this luxurious rich community itself is a joint venture between Phoenix Real Estate and Huo's Real Estate Li, and Lu Shaohua is the boss of Phoenix Group, how dare people who buy houses have opinions.
What's more, Lu Shaohua lives here publicly, and the upper class in Hong Kong knows it, and almost all the people who live in the wealthy community are celebrities in the business and entertainment circles, how dare those people have opinions about Lu Shaohua, the boss of the Phoenix Group, isn't that looking for death.
…… One hour and twenty minutes, Lu Shaohua's special plane took a total of one hour and twenty minutes from the beginning of takeoff to the predetermined landing site.
When Lu Shaohua got off the plane, he finally understood why he had to wait for half an hour before taking off, it turned out that the Saudi Arabian royal family had made grand preparations to welcome him, and at the same time, it was also for Lu Shaohua's personal safety.
The last time Lu Shaohua set foot on the land of Saudi Arabia, he was greeted by two princes, the eldest prince and the second prince, but today he came to greet him and became extremely grand.
However, there is one person who appears twice, and that person is the second prince of the year, who is now the king of the Saudi Arabian royal family. He was joined by the princess and several important figures of the Saudi Arabian royal family.
Honor guard, this is a must, Lu Shaohua also had an honor guard when he came last time, but the honor guard back then was much lower-level, it was an ordinary honor guard, but today's honor guard is different, it is the royal honor guard of the Saudi Arabian royal family.
Don't underestimate this honor guard, this is an important part of measuring the identity of the guest, if the honor guard is the most ordinary kind, then it proves that the identity of the guest is not very important, it is medium, if there is no honor guard, it proves that the identity of the guest is so simple that it can't be simpler. And if the royal guard of honor is used, it is a high-ranking official or head of state of a certain country.
Now Lu Shaohua's status has been raised, and he is at the same level as a senior official or head of state of a certain country, which also proves that the Saudi Arabian royal family respects and values Lu Shaohua, and the king of the Saudi Arabian royal family actually came to greet him, which shows the extraordinary identity of Lu Shaohua.
Seeing such a scene, Lu Shaohua was certainly a little uncomfortable, but what kind of person he was, what kind of scene he had never seen, plus his current net worth and identity, he was naturally able to accept such a grand welcome ceremony.
Stepping on red carpet, like a triumphant returning general, holding his head high, accepting the welcome repertoire of the guard of honor, a bit like reviewing the guard of honor, but it is not, but welcoming the king of the Saudi Arabian royal family.
However, Lu Shaohua became more and more shocked, when he first got off the plane, he was a little far away from where the honor guard was standing, but now that he got closer, he realized that this honor guard must have more than 50 people, and the royal family of Saudi Arabia, adding up to at least 80 people.
Even if the fifty people in the honor guard are removed, there are about thirty members of the royal family who come to greet them, and these thirty people are all high-level people, they don't sit and do nothing every day, it takes a long time to gather this group of people, and it seems reasonable to prepare for this extra half an hour.
Understanding the reason, Lu Shaohua was relieved, smiled, shook hands with the king of the royal family, that is, the former second prince, and by the way, said a few words of thanks to greet him, and made a polite gesture, which can be regarded as a must-show as a guest.
As for the host, he seemed much more relaxed, and he was also polite, saying what should be and what was necessary, as if Lu Shaohua should accept this grand welcome.
In fact, it seems that Lu Shaohua's identity itself is extraordinary, of course, this refers to those in the office and Hong Kong, as for going abroad, Lu Shaohua can only be regarded as a super rich person at most, and has no other identity.
But coming to Saudi Arabia is different. The reason is very simple, Lu Shaohua is the backer of the Saudi Arabian royal family, and the current Saudi Arabian royal family can be so stable today because of the Phoenix base, and the owner of the Phoenix base is Lu Shaohua.
As early as when the second prince succeeded to the throne, the Phoenix base publicly expressed its support for the second prince, and now the second prince has become the king of the royal family, and the Phoenix base has also become a support for the entire royal family. And it is precisely with the support of the Phoenix base that those who want to fight the idea of Saudi Arabia have to be careful.
There is no way, the power of the Phoenix base is invisible, and no one wants to provoke this mysterious base.
