Chapter 404: This is a big event that goes straight to the heavens
Chen Gengdao: "Yes, we were a little confused at that time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Chen Geng's answer made Xing Da a little speechless, thought about it, and then asked, "Then what?" ”
"And then? Then there was the fact that the Yazidi tribe did not have enough dollars to pay, and Elder Sahaf offered to use oil as a means of payment for these weapons. ”
"Pay in oil?" Xing Da frowned unconsciously. Like gold, oil, which is known as "black gold", is a hard currency in the world, and it is certainly not impossible to use oil as a means of payment, but Xing Da is concerned: "Do they have this right?" ”
"That's the problem," Chen Geng sighed: "I don't understand this part, but this Yazidi tribe is very poor now, although they have oil under their feet, they don't have oil extraction equipment, and they don't have oil smelting equipment, so we have to provide them with corresponding equipment." ”
"......" Hearing Chen Geng say this, Xing Da didn't know what to do: this Yazidi tribe was clearly the idea of beating the empty glove white wolf.
Chen Geng continued: "I chatted with Elder Sahaf for a while, and what they meant was that if we were willing to invest in weapons and equipment and oil extraction equipment, we could own a part of the equity in the oil field......
"Really?" Hearing that Chen Geng's time when the Republic could exchange weapons and equipment and oil extraction equipment for a part of the equity of the oil field, Ambassador Xing suddenly had a thrill: "Are you sure? ”
Selling military equipment and oil extraction equipment to the Yazidi tribes, and then the Yazidi tribes use the extracted oil as a means of payment, of course, this way is not impossible, but compared to this way, it is great to be able to take a stake in an oil field, compared to the former, it means a steady stream of profits! This means a steady stream of dollars! This means a constant and ever-increasing amount of foreign exchange!
"I'm pretty sure."
"How many shares can we have?"
Chen Geng said: "Elder Sahaf didn't say it, but according to my observations, about thirty or forty percent should be able to fight for it. ”
Xing Da's breathing suddenly became short!
As the ambassador of the Republic of China to Iran, in the world's richest oil reserves, Xing Da understands and must understand the oil economy, if the Republic can really occupy three to four percent of the shares in a certain oil field in Iraq, it means a minimum of a few hundred million dollars in dividends every year! Xing Da feels that even if this figure is conservative, it should not be less than five or six hundred million US dollars.
What does five or six billion dollars mean?
Meaning a third to a quarter of the republic's foreign exchange reserves!
It means that in order to save more money so that the republic can import advanced technology and equipment from abroad, it can sell a little less resources and leave more things to its descendants -- in order to accumulate as much foreign exchange as possible, the republic has been accumulating precious foreign exchange almost by selling blood over the years.
Xing Da dared to say it now, as long as the news was fed back to the country, the eyes of the elders in charge would immediately burst into a wolf-like green light! In the face of four to six hundred million dollars of foreign exchange per year, what is a sovereign state? We haven't been without a toss in nuclear technology, and the only problem is ......
"Are you sure?" Xing Da gasped and confirmed to Chen Geng.
Chen Geng, who knew very well what this meant, nodded heavily: "Yes, I'm pretty sure." ”
Xing Da immediately asked, "How many people know about this news now?" ”
"It's just me and Comrade Zhou Changjiang."
"From now on, this news will be included in the second-level secret sequence, except for the two of you, you are not allowed to tell this news to a third person, and I will feed back the news to China as soon as possible."
Chen Geng replied simply: "Understood! ”
He believes that after Xing Da feeds back the news back to China, the country will definitely arrange people to contact him as soon as possible, but he doesn't know how determined and persevering the central government is to promote this matter, although he thinks that the central government will not let go of this opportunity, but this is just his own speculation after all, there are many considerations at the national level, which is not something that a small businessman can understand, but wealth and wealth are in danger, if it is not just in time for this war, why can this kind of good thing fall on the head of the republic? It has been snatched away by others for 800 times......
――――――――――――――――――――
Chen Geng didn't know how much of a sensation the news he fed back had caused in China, and it was no exaggeration to say that within a certain range, this was a tsunami-level uproar!
"Lao Zhang, you little guy is too good at tossing, you see that this little guy has only been in Iran for a few days, and he has tossed out such a big news?" At the enlarged and enlarged meeting of the Council of Elders, Elder No. 3 said with a smile to Vice Chairman Zhang of the Military @ Committee.
Vice Chairman Zhang smiled very happily: "Hahaha...... I hope that these boys can toss a little more outside, and we can toss a few more times, and our foreign exchange reserves can also increase a little bit. ”
Chen Geng is an active-duty soldier, as long as this thing is done, the credit will always be indispensable to the military, and Vice Chairman Zhang certainly has enough reason to be happy.
"You, you," Elder No. 3 shook his head with a smile, and then sighed lightly, "But this is a good thing, but it is also a headache to actually put it into practice." ”
"In these days, how can there be no headache in making money," Vice Chairman Zhang pouted and said disdainfully: "It's easy to spend money, go out for a spin in the name of going abroad for a tour, tens of thousands of dollars are gone, I don't know at all that it is more difficult for us to earn some foreign exchange than ****." ”
There was no change on the faces of several elders, but there was some scorn on the faces of several bigwigs who attended the enlarged meeting: Vice Chairman Zhang is an old revolutionary, born from a red imp, who has crossed snow-capped mountains and walked through grasslands, and is a loyal revolutionary soldier of my d, loyal to d, loyal to d, loyal to the people, and deeply respected by the elders, and is very unaccustomed to the behavior of many local officials and the families and children of local officials in the society who travel abroad in the name of overseas investigations.
The old man waved his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about this, today we are discussing the news that this little guy brought us, let's discuss it, should we do it?" ”
The boss has a great prestige in D, and his words can be regarded as setting the tone for today's meeting: Today is not here to listen to everyone's nonsense, but today's meeting is to discuss practical things, and there must be something to say.
As soon as the boss's voice fell, Vice Chairman Zhang spoke: "Then let me say a few words first, my attitude is very clear, this opportunity is very rare, it is very precious and rare for the next development of our country, so I firmly support the acquisition of this oil field, no matter what the price is paid, in addition, I emphasize here that the people's army has the determination, ability and perseverance to protect our overseas assets." ”
Vice Chairman Zhang's attitude represents the attitude of the military and also the attitude of the Republic's military industrial group: Chen Geng is an active-duty soldier, and since this project is led by Chen Geng, the military will inevitably have a share in the future; on the other hand, the military industrial group can take this opportunity to expand the export of military equipment, which is a good thing for both the military and the military industrial group, and Vice Chairman Zhang can only support it, and has no reason to oppose it.
The boss didn't have a clear attitude towards Vice Chairman Zhang's words, and nodded: "Lao Zhang has finished speaking, and everyone will talk about it." ”
Elder No. 3 took a sip of his teacup: "Then I'll tell you what the government means, if this oil field can really contribute at least 400 million US dollars in foreign exchange reserves to the country every year after it is completed, it will be more convenient for the government to do a lot of work in the economic field......"
Next, the attitude of all the elders and the bigwigs is unprecedentedly unanimous: this oil field must be taken down!
Now that everyone's attitude is very consistent, the last and only question left for this meeting: how to take it down?
Chen Geng is not familiar with the national policies of the Middle East and West Asia, which are oil-producing countries in Islam @ Lan, but this problem is not a problem for all of you here, Iraq's oil policy is different from Iran, after the outbreak of the Islam @ Lan Revolution in Iran in 1979, the Iranian National Oil Company controlled all the oil operations in Iran, and the exploration activities almost stopped, that is, Iran nationalized the oil exploitation rights, but Iraq is different, Iraq's largest oil company is undoubtedly the Iraqi National Oil Company, But while the Iraqi National Oil Company has captured the largest market share in the country, it has also allowed the tribes to exploit their own oil resources.
Of course, this kind of exploitation is not free and free, and any tribe that wants to exploit the oil resources within its own territory must automatically hand over 50% of its production capacity to the state, and the remaining 50% is its own, and the space that the republic can operate in is actually only the 50% that belongs to the Yazidi tribe.
The problem now is that it is not a problem to exploit oil with the Yazidi tribe, the problem is that the strength and influence of this tribe are too weak, so weak that it has not been included in the sight of the republic's observation before, only some documents have written about this tribe in a passing way, but if the republic really wants to cooperate with the Yazidi tribe to extract oil, these documents are completely meaningless, and it also means that if you want to make this money steadily, the republic needs to vigorously support this Yezidi tribe in the future, But if it has the support of the Republic, will this tribe be reliable in the future? Will it infringe upon and endanger the interests of the republic as it grows and grows?
These are all issues that need to be discussed before a final decision is made.
"The foreign and intelligence departments will collect information about this Yazidi tribe as soon as possible," at the end of the meeting, the boss made a final summary of the meeting: "Also, all departments will immediately form a joint working group to go to Iraq to start the preliminary work of the war."
