There was a knock on the door of the Kempinski Executive Suite, and standing inside was a middle-aged man in a suit and a mustache, who looked vigilantly at the casually dressed Chen Bo and Ibn and then glanced down the hallway.

"I didn't even bring bodyguards, what are you worried about? Mr. Sadiq Ahmar. Chen Bo raised his arms, and under his linen shirt, he could easily see that he was not carrying any weapons inside.

"How do you know my name?" The middle-aged man was surprised.

"I don't know anything, what else can I talk to you about?" Chen Bo said confidently, "Let's go in and talk about it, this is Jordan, with Prince Ibn Ali here, you don't have to think about anything." ”

Ibn Ali straightened his chest cooperatively, and showed the bearing that he should have, even if he was down, we would be a prince.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince, please come in!"

Sadiq made a sudden realization, quickly let the two of them in, and called the hotel waiter to bring two cups of hot coffee.

"Ibn, you don't have a good coffee in Jordan." Chen Bo tasted it, frowned and pointed out, "It's still good coffee in Yemen, but I heard that the farmers there have changed to planting Carter leaves, Sadiq envoy, what do you say?" ”

"Mr. Chen has never been to Yemen, and he knows Yemen well, which is really admirable!" The expression on Sadiq's face changed from the initial caution to a capital uniform.

Yemen's mocha coffee is very famous all over the world and is the bulk of Yemen's agricultural exports. But Yemenis have a bad habit of chewing on something called Carter leaves, which can be both exhilarating and addictive, and many countries have banned it, so you know what it is.

But the whole people of Yemen love this thing, which makes many profit-chasing farmers destroy crops, destroy coffee trees, and plant Carter trees on a large scale.

In addition to internal friction, you can't bring a dime of foreign exchange, you are not poor, who is poor? I don't have anything to eat, and there is no one to chew the leaves.

He mentioned this only to warn Sadiq that I know Yemen very well, don't try to fool me. So when you come up, you will first suppress the other party and take the initiative.

"It is not surprising that in our country there is a military strategist who said that knowing oneself and knowing the other side can survive a hundred battles. Since you want to talk about business, you have to prepare all the documents. Chen Bo smiled, "I admire Mr. Sadiq very much, he has monopolized all kinds of profitable industries in China, amazing!" ”

"Mr. Chen was so smart just now, how can he pretend to be confused at this time? Whose is that property that can fool you with a pair of discerning eyes? Sadiq stared at him.

"Of course, don't say it thoroughly, it's still a good friend." Chen Bo took a sip of coffee and said, "Since we are friends, we have to show the friendship between friends, you can make a phone call to check your Swiss bank account and see what has changed?" ”

Sadiq didn't know why, but when he said this, he immediately picked up his phone and dialed the well-known number.

Although Chen Bo and the others couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, they could also see one or two from the changes in the expressions on his face, which were both surprise and joy, and even greed, which was really wonderful.

"Haha, Mr. Chen is really bold, just like Huaxia has helped us without asking for anything in return over the years!"

"It's just a deposit." Chen Bo put down the coffee cup, lit a cigarette, and spat softly, "Whether it's Saleh or Ahmed, even your brother Muhsin's account has prepared a gift." When it's done, yours triple! ”

"I've made a friend like you!" Sadiq was overjoyed, his face flushed.

"We're friends when things get done." Chen Bo pursed his lips, quite disdainful.

"That's, that's." Sadiq hurriedly replied, "Since the president sent me, he must have wanted to facilitate this. ”

"Okay, then let's not talk nonsense. $500 million freehold, Socotra Islands are designated as a free trade zone. Chen Bo stopped inking with him, and directly made conditions.

"The price is good, but before that, the president has a few questions that he wants to understand." Sadiq was unmoved.

"Say."

"What is Mr. Chen going to do when he buys this island? You must know that although Socotra is far away from the mainland, it is an important part of our country, and its location is special, and you are not the only one who is willing to buy the island. ”

"Oh, I'm going to build a port and develop tourism. Such a beautiful place has been sealed in the ocean is a tyrannical thing, since you have no money and no energy, then I will do it for you, everyone in the world knows how good I can make money, I believe you have also heard of it. Chen Bo's words were proudly showing off, and he deliberately wanted to put on this posture.

"Of course, Mr. Chen's name is still very loud." Sadik complimented and said, "If that's all there is, of course it's fine." But the president also has several conditions, the first is that the island cannot be in your own name, you must find a Middle Easterner. Second, the military force of no country should be stationed, and third, the social welfare of all islanders should be borne by the burden. Fourth, the island is only rented and not sold, for a period of 50 years, and once these articles are violated, all property will be immediately recovered and confiscated! ”

"First, the owner of the island is not me, but my girlfriend, Princess Haya, dare to ask if she is qualified? Second, there will be no military dealings with any country, but private armed forces do not count, and the Gulf of Aden is not peaceful. Abide by international law and refuse to allow any terrorist organizations to land on the island. I have no problem with the third one. Finally, if you only rent, then I need the legislative and enforcement powers, and demand the autonomy of the islands. ”

"Autonomy? This cannot be, this is a violation of national unity! Sadiq immediately refused, "At most, you will be given a free trade zone, and of course the legislation and law enforcement shall be subject to the laws of our country, and your idea is to split Yemen, which is very dangerous." ”

"No, I'm not trying to divide Yemen. It's better management, I'm opening a company to make money, managing an island is like managing a company, you get rid of the burden of tens of thousands of people at once, how much does it cost? How much economic benefits can be created in your hands, and how much taxes can be paid? It's not enough to lose money! ”

"Even if you lose money, you can't do it."

"In the future, Yemen's grain imports will be reduced by 10% on the international basic price."

"What did you say?"

"My intention is actually to build a grain storage and transportation base on the island, you think. Socotra occupies the advantage of maritime geography, our country is a big country of agricultural products, and what is most lacking in the Middle East? Wheat, soybeans, vegetables and fruits, I can supply them continuously, do you say to make money or not? If I give you a 1% discount from the international price, how much can you profit? ”

"In 10 years, I'm going to make sure I'm going to pay no less than $200 million a year in taxes, and you're going to double your account." Chen Bo saw the change in his expression, so he immediately added another weight, "I also admit the loan, but I need legislation and law enforcement powers." ”

The expression on Sadiq's face was cloudy, and after pondering for a while, he said, "I need to ask Mr. President." ”

"The President, please?" Chen Bo squinted his eyes and smiled, "The chairman of Hadramao Province is the cousin of Mr., Saleh, a marauder in North Yemen, can manage the largest Hashid tribe in South Yemen?" ”

"I can't hide anything from you." Sadiq said depressedly, the opponent has an insight into Yemen and the sky, and he only has superficial information and talk nonsense.

"In the future, the grain business will be handed over to your Ahmar family, and President Saleh's campaign funds will be doubled, so that you can also give an account. And I can also lobby other countries to increase aid to Yemen and shut all mouths. ”

Sadiq slammed down and said, "I'm going to lose two percent!" ”

"Deal, if you can't, I don't mind seeing your dignity on Al Jazeera." Chen Bo said in a flat tone.

"Give me a month."

"I'll wait for your news, and next time remember to prepare me some good Yemeni coffee."

Chen Bo immediately got up and walked out of his room, the corridor was very quiet, and some shadows flashed under the door next door, all of which were in his eyes.

Ibn Ali had many questions, but he stopped them with his eyes until he walked out of the hotel.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, Sadiq's room is full of gunmen on both sides, and if the negotiation is not suitable, you and I will be in danger." Chen Bodao.

"Huh? It's Jordan here, and he doesn't want to live anymore?! Ibn burst into a rage.

"But he didn't know you were coming at first." Chen Bo patted him on the shoulder, "I'm sorry to use you as a gun." ”

"I'm fine, but what you just said is true?"

"Which ones?" Chen Bo blinked and smiled.

"Buying an island in my sister's name to do a grain business, and how much benefit you gave him to make him so determined. Isn't Saleh a dictator, why can it be decided just by this Sadiq. ”

"You have to care more about the politics of the peninsula, which is less sensitive than Haya. Saleh is ostensibly the president, and he is also a monopoly in the country, and all the government departments are his relatives, but Ahmar is his cousin and belongs to another clan. Saleh left most of the business to him, while Sadiq only drank some soup, and all the flesh and bones were taken away by Saleh. ”

"Oh." Ibn Ali nodded all in thought.

"Sadiq is a cautious man, he is both a businessman and an agent of Saleh's interests, and he has close ties to Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the Ahmar family is a branch of the Hashid, the largest tribal alliance in Yemen, and the island of Socotra belongs to Hadramao Province, so of course Saleh will send him. As for the benefits, I have already deposited $5 million in each of their accounts, and Saleh has $50 million. ”

"Huh?" Ibn Ali's mouth was wide open enough to almost stuff a duck's egg. "Isn't doubling 100 million?"

"How? Socotra's defense of the transport fortress of Europe, Asia and Africa is not measured by money. How many countries covet it behind it is not only an economic account, but also a political account. ”

"That...... How much money do you have? Ibn Ali swallowed.

"There are too many to count." Chen Bo wants this effect, "The matter of the grain base is real, I plan to hand it over to you to do, do you have any confidence?" ”

"Me?"

"Nonsense. You are Haya's brother, my relative, do you want to eat and die in Jordan? Will Abdullah let you go into politics? As a saint, you control the grain trade in the Middle East, think about it? ”

Chen Bo didn't hesitate to draw him a super cake, and the temptation of this cake was really too great.
