Chapter 552: Promise
The second prince of the Saudi Arabian royal family asked to go to the Phoenix Group to see, of course Lu Shaohua couldn't refuse, after all, people are far away as guests, and he, as the master, should also satisfy the guests, not to mention that Lu Shaohua doesn't know how to arrange the itinerary, it is better to visit the Phoenix Group more together to kill time.
It's just that it seems a bit unrealistic to visit immediately, not to mention that the second prince has just gotten off the plane, even if they haven't just gotten off the plane, the first day comes, Lu Shaohua can't start the trip immediately, at least let the family get familiar with the environment in Hong Kong first.
The second prince obeyed Lu Shaohua's arrangement, Lu Shaohua was a lot more relaxed, took them to the villa where he lived, and asked Li Shangkui to arrange for a few bodyguards to rest, Lu Shaohua himself took the second prince and the cousin who came with him to the hall on the second floor.
The villa where Lu Shaohua lives now is no longer the small villa he used to live in, the villa he lives in now can be described as a manor villa, which occupies a huge space, and there are two buildings in it, a main building and an auxiliary building, the auxiliary building is for Li Shangkui and them to live as bodyguards, while Lu Shaohua and Qin Sichen live in the main building.
The building on this side of the main building is a three-story building, Lu Shaohua and Qin Sichen live on the third floor, and on the second floor, in addition to a luxurious hall, there are several guest rooms, and several rooms are lived by Li Shangkui and a few people close to him, in order to protect Lu Shaohua more conveniently.
And the arrival of the second prince, Lu Shaohua is also ready to arrange their room on the second floor, this is not for convenience, but the guests on the first floor are not very good, plus Li Shangkui's room is on the second floor, and it is more convenient to protect their safety at night.
As for why Lu Shaohua took the second prince and his cousin to the second floor, he didn't take them to rest, but took them up to sit in the hall on the second floor, who made the hall on the second floor more luxurious, plus the noodles were quieter, and they would not be affected by the outside world to talk.
came up to the hall on the second floor and sat down, and the second prince also introduced his cousin carefully, including the identity of him as the heir of his grandfather's family, and he didn't say that he came with him to have a good relationship with Lu Shaohua.
Lu Shaohua knew it, and he didn't break it, so he politely greeted the young man who was confirmed as the heir of the family at a young age, and then shifted his gaze to the face of the second prince and said. "The second prince came to Hong Kong this time, apart from your father, does anyone else know?"
The second prince was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Lu Shaohua meant by this, but he still replied seriously. "I came to Hong Kong to visit you, and the entire royal family knows that it is only kept secret from the outside world."
Lu Shaohua was helpless for a while, sighed softly, and muttered to himself. "Looks like it's impossible to be quiet."
Lu Shaohua originally thought that the arrival of the second prince in Hong Kong was also a secret in the Saudi Arabian royal family, but when he asked casually just now, it was not a secret within them, since it was not a secret, Lu Shaohua had reason to believe that the eldest prince would not give up.
Lu Shaohua never thought that all the people in this world were stupid, on the contrary, he thought that there were many smart people in this world, including the eldest prince and the eldest prince's grandfather's family.
The second prince came to Hong Kong to visit Lu Shaohua, so it is impossible for the eldest prince and his grandfather's family not to know what this means, if they want to fight for the throne, maybe they will send someone over to assassinate the second prince, so that they can also blame others.
"Why?" The second prince heard Lu Shaohua's muttering, and couldn't help but ask.
Lu Shaohua shook his head with a wry smile, the matter is at this point, Lu Shaohua has to say it, so he simply said it with the theme. "The eldest prince won't be like that."
No, after finishing speaking, Lu Shaohua paused and continued. "From what I know about the eldest prince, he should belong to such an unscrupulous person, and you come to visit me, what it means, you can guess it, if he wants to compete with you for the throne, it is possible to send someone to deal with you."
The second prince came to Hong Kong for only one main purpose, that is, to obtain Lu Shaohua's support, so that he could successfully ascend to the throne, before coming, his father also told him that as long as he can get Lu Shaohua's support, the throne is his.
Lu Shaohua also knows this, but the second prince has just come over, Lu Shaohua doesn't want to mention this matter yet, and he doesn't want to take the initiative to provoke it, but the arrival of the second prince is not a secret within their royal family, so even if Lu Shaohua doesn't want to provoke the head and doesn't want to talk about it now, he has to say it.
Hearing this, the second prince also seemed to be aware of the danger, but he was not worried, after all, the person sitting in front of him was the behind-the-scenes boss of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, and it was not difficult to send some people to protect his safety, his safety was not a problem, and now that Lu Shaohua had taken the lead in the matter of the throne, there was no need for the second prince to hide it anymore, and he could start his true purpose.
"Mr. Lu, before I came, my father summoned me, and he told me that as long as you support me, then the throne will be inherited by me." The second prince can be said to be straight to the point, without the slightest cover-up, and then did not wait for Lu Shaohua to speak, and took the initiative to make a promise. "Now my country is very unstable, and the internal instability of our royal family is also very unstable, so our royal family is very eager to have allies like you, and only allies like you can our royal family be stable."
This 'ally' is an ally, this ally is not as simple as it seems, this is a promise made by the second prince, although it is very vague, but Lu Shaohua still knows that this is a promise made by the second king, which probably means that he hopes to cooperate with Lu Shaohua.
Lu Shaohua knows these truths, but Lu Shaohua wants more than just a long-term ally, what he wants is the promise of the second prince, the future king, if he doesn't promise the corresponding cooperation, Lu Shaohua will not agree to support him.
"I'd love to be a long-term ally of your royal family." Lu Shaohua said without diminishing, and then did not say anything more.
Lu Shaohua's move is a move to retreat into advance, only to form an alliance with their royal family, and does not express support for his second prince, which is very different in language, and is also forcing the second prince to make a public statement.
The second prince can be determined as the successor, and he was selected by Lu Shaohua as a supporter, he naturally has something extraordinary, not to mention the IQ, it can be described as being smart, hearing that Lu Shaohua did not publicly express his support for him, he knew that Lu Shaohua was waiting for him to make a promise.
"Mr. Lu, if you support me to succeed to the throne, then in the future, if you need a partner for the development of oilfields, I will definitely give priority to your company." The second prince must not have made his promise in public.
In fact, the second prince has no choice, as his father said, if Lu Shaohua does not support him to succeed to the throne, then it is impossible for him to succeed to the throne, and suddenly put the decision in the hands of Lu Shaohua, and what Lu Shaohua needs is nothing more than oil, if he does not make this promise, Lu Shaohua will not support him.
Interests are interests, if you want Lu Shaohua to support him, you must give Lu Shaohua enough benefits, this is the most basic, and it also confirms the sentence: "There is no free lunch in the world." ”
Lu Shaohua is not a fool, Lu Shaohua will not do things without interests, so if the second prince does not make a promise, he Lu Shaohua will not support the second prince to succeed to the throne for free. And now that the second prince has made a promise, although there is a lot of leeway in language, it can be regarded as meeting the standard that Lu Shaohua wants, and nodded at the moment, but he did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Lu Shaohua also finished thinking about it, smiled, and said. "I will fully support your succession, including the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, and I will also fully support you, but if you want to officially succeed to the throne, you will have to face a lot of things."
Three princes are eligible to compete for the throne, two of them belong to a mother, and their grandfather is a powerful family in the military, and if the second prince wants to succeed to the throne, he is destined to face obstacles.
"You mean the Great Prince?" The second prince asked with a frown.
Lu Shaohua nodded, shook his head again, and then said. "According to my investigation, the eldest prince and the third prince belong to the same mother, and their grandfather is also the head of a military family, if you want to succeed to the throne, you will inevitably be blocked, but these are not important, the important thing is that after the succession, the two princes will be unwilling after the succession, and then it will be troublesome."
Lu Shaohua thinks farther, the succession can be maneuvered, and he can succeed smoothly, but after succeeding to the throne, he may face splitting, which is what Lu Shaohua is most worried about, and it is also what the second prince must face.
After a pause, Lu Shaohua didn't wait for the second prince to take the lead in speaking, and continued. "Also, the eldest prince is not your biggest threat, the third prince is the focus of your defense."
The eldest prince and the third prince, the two brothers, Lu Shaohua has seriously investigated them, and the result is that although the eldest prince is smart, his intelligence is limited, and he is not a threat, and the biggest threat is the third prince, a prince who looks squishy on the surface, but is extremely forbearing.
The second prince was obviously stunned, looked at Lu Shaohua in disbelief, and said after a long time. "The third prince is a gentleman prince, and he can't pose a threat to me."
"Haha!"
Lu Shaohua laughed, and the ridicule between the two princes was extremely obvious, and he pondered for a moment before he said. "If the second prince looks at the third prince like this, then you may lose badly in the future, you can't underestimate anyone, you can also pretend to be a fool, and the person who can pretend to be undiscovered for so long, you can imagine what a terrible existence he is."
Lu Shaohua got the results after careful investigation, and he was almost 100% sure that the third prince was pretending, so when he said it, his tone was extremely positive.
"......." The second prince was silent, he didn't think Lu Shaohua was joking, he tried to recall what the third prince had done over the years, and suddenly found that it was really as Lu Shaohua said, the third prince may be pretending, and all he showed was acting, and suddenly cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead, and he was scared for a while, and then asked. So what do I need to do? ”
