Chapter 937: Alpha
Seeing the bitterness on Barakul's face, Du Ziji also knew his embarrassment. Baraku is Saudi Arabia's oil minister and OPEC's secretary general, but he does not have the authority to make such an important decision alone. Du Ziji smiled and said, "Baraku, I know this matter is very difficult. Over the years, the people of China have spent a lot of energy to control many high-level political leaders in our country, and these guys have completely forgotten that they are Saudis for their own interests.
Especially Vice President Alpha, I don't know how many bribes he has accepted from people from country M, so that he even married his own daughter to country M. But as hard as it is, we can't help it. The Chinese are different from the M people, who are ambitious and want to dominate the world, while the Chinese people advocate peaceful coexistence and mutual benefit. If the people of country M are made strong, it will be a disaster for the whole world, but if China becomes stronger, it will be the gospel of the whole world.
Baraku frowned and nodded, "Of course I understand what you're saying. But it's a really tricky thing. Although I am the Minister of Oil, Alpha's influence in the oil sector is no worse than mine. His qualifications are much older than you and me, looking at the whole country, which important department does not have his cronies and protΓ©gΓ©s?
Don't be surprised if I say something you don't want to hear. At the beginning of the presidential election, if Alpha hadn't taken the initiative to withdraw due to physical reasons, the position of the president might not be yours! Alpha's power in the country is intertwined and difficult to deal with, which is still secondary. What's more, there are also M people behind Alpha. Now country M has regarded Huaxia as a potential competitor, targeting Huaxia everywhere, and they will never watch us give up such a big piece of cake
Huaxia people, when the time comes, the M people and the alpha internal guard will collude, I'm afraid it won't be something that you and I can resist. β
What Baraku said was exactly what Duziki was worried about, so after listening to his words. I couldn't help but fall into silence. Baraku continued: "What's more, this is still in the interests of our Saudi people, and if Alpha makes a fuss among the civilians at that time, our situation will be even more embarrassing!" Du Ziji said in a deep voice: "I have considered all this, it is very difficult!" But I just want to take this opportunity to get rid of the control of the people of country M. At the same time, it deliberately weakens the influence of oil on our country, so that everyone understands that the oil industry is the pillar industry of our country, but it is not the only one. Divert people's attention from oil to other industries, and then lead to the development of other industries. Reducing the share of oil in GDP. Am I wrong to completely change the monolithic industrial structure of our country? β
Balaku shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Yes, and he is very wise and strategic. But the consciousness of the people is different from that of you and me. What you and I can see, the people may not see. It is not much easier for all Saudis to understand your intentions without getting rid of the control of the people of M. Coupled with the obstruction of Alpha and others, it may be even more difficult to implement your plan. "But we have Chinese people? If we ally with the Chinese, we don't have to worry about the threat of the M people, you and I just need to concentrate on dealing with Alpha. Isn't it? Du Ziji's heart moved. Said urgently.
"Huaxia? If the Chinese are willing, they will indeed be a strong alliance partner. But the Chinese people will really make their little oil successfully listed. And help us, so as to turn against the people of country M? I'm afraid this is a bit hanging! Baraku said worriedly. So, ah. From now on, we must spare no effort to win over the Chinese people, so that they can understand our sincerity, as long as we can get their cooperation. We're halfway there! Baraku, you now immediately find that Huaxia man, continue to negotiate with him, explain our difficulties, and explain what we mean. The attitude should be enthusiastic and humble, and we must not let the Chinese people think that we are too arrogant. β
Baraku scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Du Ziji, why do I hear that you seem to be asking me to pat the sycophants of the Huaxia people and please them?" There's no need for that, is it? Although we have a request from them, but they also have a request from us, I think it is better to negotiate on an equal footing, without being humble or arrogant. β
Duziki snorted and said, "Baraku, you are wrong. The Chinese people are begging us only to let go of the little market share in our hands, so that their oil can get a gap in survival. Moreover, the Chinese people are not the only one we Saudi Arabia have a choice, we do not agree, they can also find other OPEC member states such as Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Iran, etc., but we only have the choice of Huaxia, looking at the world, in addition to China, who else has the power to compete with country M? Compared with what the Chinese people ask us to ask them for, it is simply sesame seeds and watermelon. We hope that the Chinese people will help us resist the pressure from country M and guide us in Saudi Arabia to another flatter and broader development path, which is related to the future of Saudi Arabia and the destiny of the nation. β
Seeing that Baraku didn't seem convinced, Du Ziji slapped his head sharply and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you the content of the cabinet meeting I held today. After speaking, Du Ziji's expression suddenly became excited, his smile was like ripples in the water, and his voice trembled slightly: "Balakul, I guess you never dreamed that Allah will once again favor us in Saudi Arabia!" Seeing Du Ziji's expression, Baraku's heart couldn't help jumping, and he asked with amazement, "What is the happy event that makes you so happy?" β
Du Ziji laughed and said, "If I say it, you will be happier than me!" Baraku, we in Saudi Arabia are going to say goodbye to this nasty desert, we will no longer have to be troubled by the desert in the near future, and the overwhelming desert will be replaced by the green savannah. With a slight breeze, it was no longer a sandstorm, but a faint aroma of earth mixed with grass......" As he spoke, Du Ziji closed his eyes affectionately, and his face was covered with deep pottery. Baraku looked at Du Ziji dumbfounded, and he didn't react for a long time. Seeing that Baraku was stunned, Du Ziji smiled and said, "Balaku, the technology of desert management has made a breakthrough and has been applied to practice. Gone are the days when people had to retreat and retreat in the face of the desert! β
It was only then that Baraku reacted, and his face was immediately filled with an incomparable ecstasy and excitement. He grabbed Du Ziji's hand, shook it vigorously, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...... What you said is true, you can't be lying to me, right? I'm not dreaming, am I? Seeing Balaku's excitement and uncontrollable appearance, Du Ziji maintained a mysterious smile on his face, and he couldn't stop laughing. Fast...... Tell me, which country's scientists have mastered this technology, how much oil do you have to use, and how much money do you have to exchange it for? Baraku couldn't help but scream.
"Dear Baraku, the people who have achieved this remarkable achievement are none other than the Chinese people. Now you understand, why did I make you humble to the Chinese? Duziki patted Baraku on the shoulder and said. "Yes...... Are you Chinese? I thought it was from country M. Baraku was taken aback and muttered. Du Ziji said: "Yes, the mysterious Oriental Dragon has once again created a miracle, Baraku, I have a hunch that the era of belonging to China is getting closer and closer, and we must make a choice now." Baraku nodded heavily and said in a deep voice, "I understand! Du Ziji, I'll go find Shen Zhenxin. As long as we can let the Chinese people leak this precious technology to us, let me do anything! With that, Baraku gave Duzki a deep gaze, turned and walked out of his office.
In other words, Powell wanted to scold Du Ziji, but he didn't want to be bombarded by others lukewarmly, and the anger in his heart became more and more intense, and it was a little difficult to suppress. Seeing that Powell's face was as ugly as it was, Saike followed Powell and said with some annoyance: "This Du Ziji, is he crazy?" How unreasonable is it to treat us with such an attitude! Seike's words made Powell calm down a little, and said in a low voice: "There must be something going on in this that we don't know about." I heard that this morning, Du Ziji just held a cabinet meeting? β
"yes...... Do you think Duzki's change has anything to do with this cabinet meeting? Saike was stunned for a moment and asked faintly. Powell snorted heavily and said, "There must be something to do with it, otherwise Du Ziji's transformation would not be so quick and so sudden!" Let's go, go to Alpha and ask for clarification! Saike said: "Alpha has been recuperating at home with illness recently, and he didn't attend yesterday's cabinet meeting, I'm afraid it will ......" Powell said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, even if he stays at home, the wind and grass of the whole Saudi Arabia will not escape his eyes, this cunning old fox!" β
The two did not return to the embassy, but went directly to Alpha's mansion. Alpha, the third person in Saudi Arabia, is nominally the third person, but the actual influence is only higher than that of Duziki and Baraku. This year is close to 70 years old, others have reached his age, seeing that the loess has been buried to the neck, he will always think of a way, let go of the complexity of the world, and enjoy the rest of his life. But Alpha is the opposite, the older he gets, the more his hope for power swells, and he is over seventy years old, but he still holds on to the power in his hands and refuses to let go.
When Powell and Seck met Alpha, he was fishing in the pond of his private garden, and the sun was shining softly on him, setting off the old guy who had reached his twilight years with a bit of solemnity and majesty. In addition to liking power, Alpha's only hobby is fishing, if Alpha is fishing, ordinary people don't dare to bother lightly, but Powell is different, a diplomat from country M, who has a deep family background in country M, broke in without the slightest restraint and scared away a red carp that was about to bite the hook.
