Guo Shucheng said with a smile: "First, I hope that your country will allow our workers

You enter our oil production area, you and we jointly maintain the security and order in the area, the number of people is determined by the scale of production, and your country must not deliberately make things difficult and obstructive. The procurement of daily necessities and general equipment is the same as in your country. Second, I hope that your country can exert its influence in the Arab countries and help China obtain the right to exploit oil fields in other Arab countries. ”

Only then did Uday know how big Guo Zhuocheng's appetite was, his eyes were not only limited to Iraq, but also extended to other countries, and the reason why he did not want additional tax incentives was because if he asked for preferential treatment here, other countries would worry that China would not play its cards according to common sense and just want to take advantage. If this matter spreads, it will invisibly reduce China's competitiveness and invisibly set up obstacles for itself.

"I knew he wouldn't be that simple." Uday thought proudly. However, for Guo Shucheng's words, he did not bargain immediately, but thought about it in his heart.

For the second point, Uday doesn't have any problem, because it's just a recommendation to other countries, whether other countries will agree, how much, it's not up to him Uday to have the final say, no matter what, Guo Zhuocheng can't blame him.

He is worried about the first, the most worried is the number of workers, if China sends tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of oil workers? Not to mention the issue of national security, it is theirs

I consumption is also an astronomical amount, which will immediately raise the price of goods in Iraq, and it is very likely that there will be regional inflation.

Iraq is a traditional agricultural country, the industry is almost blank, since the world's demand for oil has increased, Iraq's economy has been too heavy on crude oil exports, most of the economic income is from the sale of crude oil. The traditional and backward agriculture has been further degraded, and the manufacturing industry has not developed.

Although Uday is not a smart person, these basic situations are still clear, not to mention that he has always maintained a sense of caution in his heart when dealing with Guo Zhuocheng. I think about everything first, and Guo Zhuocheng wants to make a bargain this time, so I understand these things when I think about it.

He said, "Guo, can you give me an approximate number?" How many workers can you come in, our country is not very accommodating, our workers have a high unemployment rate, I am worried about ......"

Guo Shucheng said: "Not much, not much, there are only a few thousand people at the beginning, and the maximum will not exceed 50,000." You can rest assured, we will try our best to solve the problem of daily necessities, we only need to rent a part of the land from you to grow vegetables, if we can let our people farm and grow food, it will be better. In fact, our two countries can open factories and produce together

With daily necessities, we can make money together. ”

"Let's open a factory together? Make money together? Uday's eyes lit up: Isn't this an investment?

However, Guo Zhuocheng's following words made his heart plummet.

I only heard Guo Zhuocheng say: "I also know that your country is in economic difficulties now, and it is a bit unrealistic to take out cash to invest." This sentence made Uday's heart feel very comfortable and heartwarming.

Guo Zhuocheng continued: "You will use your tax investment to invest in shares, and we will each have a certain proportion. ”

This sentence is basically fair, although Uday knows that it is impossible for him to collect taxes from here, but it is also good to be able to exchange a part of the equity.

Guo Shucheng said again: "Just now you said that you want to give us tax incentives, we don't want this preferential treatment, you just give back a part of the equity." ”

Uday couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Didn't you say you didn't want to? Can you call it a concession in equity? ”

Guo Shucheng said solemnly: "We don't want your preferential treatment, but we can't accept His Highness's kindness." ”

Uday said, "Your Excellency is too good at talking. I just don't know which area you want to exploit oil? ”

Guo Shucheng said: "I am not familiar with this. What does His Highness have to build yì? I believe that Your Highness will not let me get a barren land, a land with no oil, right? ”

Under the influence of Guo Shucheng, Uday has become smarter now, he spread his hands and said: "I'm sorry, with your ability, you don't know that area is good, and I don't know Udai." I only know that the places where oil is being extracted cannot be given to you, these places are owned by the people of the owner, and we can't drive them out, can we? The area that has been explored for oil in Europe and the United States cannot be given, after all, people have spent a huge amount of upfront investment. Although China is our best friend, we in Iraq are a small country, and we cannot offend European and American countries because of good friends, unless our country can be on an equal footing with them. I'm sure you understand. ”

Guo Shucheng nodded and said, "I...... I have to understand if I can't understand it. Especially now that your country's army is not making much progress on the battlefield. Your Highness, I really don't know which territory to take. However, I guess the Middle East is a country sitting on the oil fields, so there should be oil everywhere, right? There must be a lot of crude oil in any region, right? ”

Uday was happy in his heart, and said in a serious manner: "Of course." We don't have anything else in the Middle East, but there is certainly no shortage of crude oil. As he spoke, he said that Guo Zhuocheng dragged to the map, pointed to a few areas and said, "Here, here, here, and here you can't give, you won't want this desert, here is ......, here European and American countries have been explored, here ,......, I'm sorry, there are really not a few areas." ”

Guo Zhuocheng's fingers seemed to draw a circle at the junction of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, and said, "Then here." You give us the right to exploit this land, and we go to these two countries to fight for it, so that our territory can be connected, we can reduce a lot of investment, and a lot of construction will not be duplicated. Of course, we also have to implore Your Excellency or your country

fu helped us to go to the event. ”

Udai looked at the piece and asked in surprise: "The traffic here is not good, are you sure you really want to be here?" ”

Guo Shucheng suppressed the joy in his heart and said lightly: "It doesn't matter, if we build a railway, or build an oil pipeline, whether it is through the land of Kuwait or through the land of Guò Saudi Arabia, it is not a big problem, and there is not much distance to reach the Persian Gulf." As long as there is oil there, we will not lose money. ”

Uday said, "But you have to prove that there is oil there." If there is no oil, you build oil pipelines and railways, isn't it for nothing? It was very difficult to get equipment in and out there. ”

Guo Shucheng deliberately asked: "Didn't you just say that there is oil everywhere in the Middle East?" ......, hey, it's okay, it's a big deal, I'll drill a few more places, spend more money to find it, the workers in our country can bear hardships and stand hard work, and it doesn't matter if you transport equipment. As long as there is oil, it will do. ”

Uday said in his heart: How do I know if there is oil there?

"Guo, I don't know if there's oil there," he said. Because of the lack of transportation, no one has explored there yet. Otherwise, I'll find you another place. ”

Guo Shucheng was shocked, but said with a smile on his face: "No need. Our country is still an exporter of crude oil, and the demand for crude oil is not very urgent, and if His Highness helps us to come to the territory that others have explored, although we will benefit, it will be detrimental to His Highness's reputation, and it will also make His Excellency the President embarrassed.

It's better if we can drill oil here, and if we can't, we're out of luck. After all, we also received money for the sale of our weapons to your country, and they were not given away for nothing. If Your Highness is a little guilty, I understand it, so I ask Your Highness to enlarge the area a little bit, and ask Your Highness to lobby Kuwait or Saudi Arabia to borrow their place to build an oil pipeline, or rent their oil pipeline. ”

Seeing that Guo Zhuocheng was thinking about himself everywhere, although he doubted whether Guo Zhuocheng already knew that there were rich crude oil reserves there, he still felt very happy: there are too many places in Iraq where there is crude oil, and he doesn't care about the oil there. Besides, he also hopes that there is crude oil there, and if there is not a drop of crude oil there, then wouldn't it be good? How can you tie Guo Humble Cheng with yourself?

He waved his hand and said, "Okay! The right to extract oil in this area has been transferred to your country at my own discretion. As long as you can restrain the workers of your country from coming out casually, and as long as it is necessary here, I promise not to limit the number of you in number. Of course, I still hope that you can hire some of the workers in our country. ”

Guo Shucheng breathed a sigh of relief and said briskly: "Okay! Let's go by the ratio of two to one. Out of the three workers, we will recruit at least one worker from your country, unless the workers from your country are not willing to come. You must know that the wages of workers in our country are very low, and they will definitely look down on them. ”

Uday knew the situation in China, and said with a smile: "Then it's not your business with me." ......, Mr. Guo, can we talk about what happened between us? How can you be sure that I will achieve the results again? ”

Guo Shucheng corrected: "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I can't guarantee it, I only dare to bet. In any case, I put in a much bigger bet than you, my bet is nine times your bet, even if I win the bet, my gain is not as big as His Highness, I just made a little profit, and I got a piece of the territorial exploitation right that I don't know if there is crude oil. ”

Uday laughed, "Don't think I'm a fool. The $600,000 price you quoted and the old tank you delivered, would be worth $60,000. Even a tenth, your country made money from these old tanks, and I didn't bargain with you because of the results you said. Because I believe in you, I believe that even if you spend hundreds of millions of dollars, you may not be able to buy this result, so I acquiesced to your high price. But don't pretend to be so pitiful, I'll be displeased. ”
