Suddenly, Li Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Ahmed, since you have completed the basic procurement, I suggest that the negotiation of this transaction be put on hold for the time being." In the future, when the right time comes, we will continue to negotiate on cooperation matters. The purpose of our Red Star company is to satisfy customers, and customer requirements are our pursuit. There will definitely be another opportunity to cooperate. ”

Ahmed looked at Li Lu, and he could see that Li Lu was not retreating, but his meaning was very clear and serious.

In fact, Li Lu really didn't care much about the deal with Ahmed. It is a fact that Ahmad's Iraqi Daram company has a strong background, but in the past few days, Li Lu has thought carefully about his own situation, believing that he is still in the initial stage of entrepreneurship, and it is easy to be supported by eating too much food in one bite.

So there are trade-offs to be made.

He made up his mind that he would not accept Durham's purchase request unless he came up with foreign currency.

Ahmed was in a hurry, and things were going out more than he expected. He believes that since Li Lu is willing to reach an oil-for-arms program with Puda, he will not reject a similar plan from Dalam. didn't expect Li Lu's attitude to be so resolute.

In contrast, he also realized that his conditions were a bit harsh. Although the Puda company took out an oil field that was on the verge of depletion, and although the daily output was very small, the Red Star Company basically could recover oil without much input. And what they took out was the barren land in the oil field......

The difference couldn't be more stark.

In exchange for $450 million in arms for a gambling exploration and exploitation contract, Li Lu really wanted to slap it in the face.

"Mr. Li, we are very sincere. Initial exploration in the Nanu area indicates that oil reserves are very abundant. We are willing to make concessions on the term of exploration and exploitation rights, referring to Puda's plan, on the basis of exploration and exploitation rights in the Nanu area, we are also willing to use oil to offset the payment. Ahmed was afraid that Li Lu would close the door to the negotiation in anger and throw the bottom line out.

Li Lu smiled and said, "If that's the case, there's still something to talk about." In that case, let's follow the terms we agreed with Puda. Thirty percent in cash, the remaining oil is paid. At the same time, the ninety-nine years of exploration and exploitation rights in the Nanu area will be given a construction period of not less than five years once we start construction. Of course, Dharam's oil share can only be 30 percent. ”

Seeing that Ahmed was about to speak, Li Lu waved his hand and said, "This is also my bottom line, I can accept it, I asked people to make a contract overnight, and I can sign it tomorrow, if I can't accept it, I will still say that, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”

For Li Lu, with 30 percent of the cash in his hand, he has already returned to his capital.

The timing of the early stages of the Iran-Iraq war was so beautiful that future generations could not imagine. In a few years, when the decade-long war of attrition is over and the war in the Persian Gulf subsides, the Americans opened the way with artillery fire in 1991 and sounded the march to full control of the Middle East oil fields. At that time, I am afraid that the Chinese people will line up to beg, and they will not be able to ask for a small piece of chicken ribs for the exploration right of the reservoir area.

Under tremendous pressure, he did not hesitate to borrow 100 million yuan to start building oil storage facilities, which was not only a simple idea of Li Lu, but also his determination to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain several oil fields in the Middle East.

You must know that almost all of what Li Lu has obtained now are long-term benefits, and all his assets are not worth 100 million. In the context of the domestic economic policy environment, the risk of him doing so is at least three stories high.

It is difficult for Ahmed to understand Li Lu's biggest concerns and worries about the Nanu region, because he has not gone beyond what he currently knows.

The reason why the Yankees started to fight Saddam Hussein was that Lao Sa invaded Kuwait, and the reason for Lao Sa's invasion of Kuwait does not need to be investigated, but there is one thing that Li Lu must be clear - the Nanu area is on the edge of the war zone, and the ghost knows if the Gulf War in this time and space will change so that the Nanu area has also become a war zone?

This is the biggest risk.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Li Lu to accept Ahmed's conditions, and the exploration and mining rights in the Nanu area are more of a benefit than a final easter egg - if you can get the best, if you can't get it, you won't be damaged by it.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Lu would absolutely not accept such a plan as simply taking the exploration and mining rights in the Nanu area in exchange for arms worth $450 million.

Although the real market value of $450 million in arms may be only $450 million.

Ahmed pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slowly, "I basically agree, after reading the details of the contract, I will make a final decision." Mr. Lee, I have one more request. ”

"Please." Li Lu nodded.

"I hope that you will have technical training personnel to accompany the first shipment and train our personnel as soon as possible." ”

Seeing Ahmed's flickering gaze, Li Lu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "In principle, there is no problem, but the specific details still need to be discussed." I will give you a clear answer before the first batch of fifty sets of products start to be shipped. ”

"Thank you very much."

Ahmed's request was not that simple, and Li Lu understood what he was really trying to say. He had already made a decision, that is, let them send someone to study here on Red Star's side, instead of Red Star sending someone out. Even if you send someone to Red Star to study, you must get the approval of the relevant departments.

Therefore, Li Lu will not give any clear answer now.

Subsequently, the two had a lengthy communication on the details of other parts of the contract, and it was more than two hours before it was finally finalized. After a late dinner together, Li Lu and Zhang Weiwei left the No. 3 courtyard and drove back to the Xinguang Factory.

As the first deputy director of the Public Security Department of the New Guangming Factory, Li Lu has very little time on the job. Li Lu asked Zhang Weiwei to go back to rest, put on his armed belt and buckle and put on his military cap, took out the matching gun and cowhide pistol holster from the safe, and walked out to perform the duties of the actual person in charge of the public security department.

After the new Guangming Factory stripped off its military production functions, except for the first workshop assigned to the Red Star Defense Company, the remaining four workshops started to produce tractors around the clock, mainly the Nanfang 15 type walk-behind tractors. This is also the main reason why the OEM contract is about to expire, and the new Guangming Factory has not issued any more contracts to the Red Star Factory.

This kind of walk-behind tractor, which is called a small four-wheeled by the common people, can carry both goods and people, is sold out of stock, and the selling price is inconsistent all over the country, but basically it is floating around 3,000 yuan.

Some people who have the courage to save a little, borrow some, scrape together 3,000 yuan to buy a small four-wheeler, run and transport when the farm is slack, pull crops when the farm is busy, the income has gone up a lot, life is getting better and better, what kind of bicycle do you want. Some of these people will become bigger and bigger, and they will become the first peasants to start their lives by transportation, and they will also become the first new urbanites to enter the city, and then the first to get rich first.

In this era of "opening up people's wisdom at the economic level", guts are a good thing.

But there are also those who use their guts in other ways, such as stealing, such as enriching their own pockets, or other more illegal and criminal acts.
