Shapur's confidence is insufficient.

Of course, he knew that Huaxia was an oil exporter, and the oil extracted by his country was being sold for foreign exchange, so how could he be willing to import oil.

Moreover, not only did they have to exchange oil for it, but they also had to send people to dig it.

Is it that simple to dig for oil?

Needless to say, eighty percent of the investment required to dig oil is also from China. How could people be willing to come to you to invest in exploration and mining - there is still a war on your side, big brother!

Shapur is also very helpless, this is the instruction from above, to this extent, his authority is very small.

"Mr. Li, this is not much more than we can do at the moment, but I can guarantee that the Iranian people will never forget your friendship, Mr. Li." Shapur felt that what he said was pale, but he could only say that.

After careful consideration, Li Lu shook his head slowly, and said, "Mr. Shapur, this is beyond my authority, and I can tell you for sure that such a transaction method of exchanging oil for tanks will never be approved." ”

Shapur sighed in disappointment and said, "The Pahlavi family has swept away a lot of wealth and almost all of the gold reserves. Mr. Lee, please understand. ”

Li Lu said with a deep groan, "Mr. Shapur, I understand very well, and at the same time, the guarantee that the Asian Tiger tanks will not be sold to the Iraqis will be valid for three years." However, there is a real possibility that your oil-for-tank plan will be rejected. Personally, if I could afford to eat more than $300 million worth of oil, I would do. As a businessman, I only look at business. But it's not that simple......"

Shapur was completely disappointed, how complicated the relationship involved was, of course he was clear, otherwise Huaxia would not have put the transaction between several companies and transferred it to Hong Kong before it would trade with his side.

One hundred Asian Tiger tanks, Li Lu has considered, after the second workshop is put into production, the annual output can only be increased to 40 to 50 units, and it will take 2+1 years to complete this order. The three-year delivery period is the use of oil in exchange, and it is difficult for Li Lu to guarantee profits, and secondly, it needs to invest a lot of money to build oil storage equipment.

It was when he was accumulating a lot of money to start the layout, and the first few years of the 80s were a crucial stage of laying the foundation. In the next five years, the Red Star Factory will obtain a military product manufacturing license, high-end military technology research capabilities, and other relevant licenses that will be difficult to obtain in the future. Therefore, he must complete the scale of the industry as soon as possible, instead of making a small fuss now, and changing the selling point of the walk-behind tractor to the "domestic imported car".

It's not a good idea to spend the next two or three years on oil storage – of course he knows the importance of oil!

Li Lu's problem was that he couldn't convince Xinguangchang and Zhenxing to accept such trading terms, and he couldn't do it without the support of the two major shareholders – that would mean he had to pay the profits of the two major shareholders out of his own pocket and take all the risks on his shoulders.

He could raise tens of millions, but it was Huaxia coins. Tens of millions of dollars, that's an unattainable figure.

Therefore, no matter how strong the desire for oil in his heart is, he can only keep swallowing saliva at this time.

However, he is also acutely aware that this is a great opportunity, a great opportunity to enter the oil-producing regions of the Middle East. If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that it will take a lot of money and time to reach the threshold in the future.

Li Lu was very hesitant and wavering, unable to make a tendentious decision.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed.

Li Lu's brow jumped a few times.

Shapur was keenly aware of the change and gradually looked forward to it.

"Mr. Shapur." Li Lu took a deep breath and said slowly, "I represent the Red Star Tractor Manufacturing Factory, in fact, in the supplier alliance, the Red Star Tractor Manufacturing Factory is the smallest role, and there are two major shareholders. They will never agree to your oil-for-tank scheme. ”

Like a roller coaster, the heart that had just been raised was thrown down again, and Shapur nodded in disappointment, "Yes, I know and understand this situation." ”

"Therefore, if I agree to do this, then the Red Star Factory will have to pay the profits due to the two major shareholders, and it will be paid in dollars. Focused all the risk on myself. Li Lu pointed to his chest.

Shapur nodded slowly, "Yes, I understand. ”

"I am very willing to help the Iranian people in the current situation, and based on this, as a businessman, I must keep my risk as acceptable." ”

Slowly, Shapur gradually rose hope. Li Lu said this, which shows that he has a way.

"Mr. Li, please say, no matter what, I am very moved." Shapur nodded gratefully.

Li Ludao, "I need the right to exploit as a guarantee, and on this basis, you have to apply for a loan from us in the name of sovereignty to pay for the Asian Tiger tank, and then use oil to repay it according to the exchange rate." ”

Shapur was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

The benefits of doing so are self-evident to Li Lu. Needless to say, any oil field on the Iranian side has hundreds of millions of barrels of reserves. Let Iran take out the mining rights as a guarantee, even if Li Lu's business is completely lost, he will be able to earn it back several times in the future.

Applying for a loan from Huaxia to pay for the Asian Tiger tank in Huaxia currency, and then repaying it with oil according to the exchange rate, means that Iran has to repay more than $300 million worth of oil. What is the exchange rate of Huaxia currency against the US dollar, Shapur has certainly understood. The official exchange rate is, but Li Lu wants to use this exchange rate to execute.

Shapur is not difficult to figure out, and Li Lu has no intention of concealing it, and has already made his attitude very straightforward - let me do this, but I want more oil, and at the same time, I need you to give oil exploitation rights as a guarantee.

Li Lu knew very well that the government would not approve such a deal because there was no need to import oil domestically. However, if Leo is willing to sign a contract promising to buy all the oil that Iran repays, then the government will definitely agree. You can earn a lot of interest by going back and forth here, and there is no such thing as not agreeing.

For Li Lu, what he did was tantamount to handing over the problem.

The Xinguang Factory and Zhenxing Company could have completely dissupported Li Lu, which would have led to the miscarriage of the oil-for-tank plan, but if it was an instruction from the higher authorities, they would only have had to carry it out. In this way, the profits paid by Li Lu to the two major shareholders can only be Huaxia currency, and have nothing to do with foreign exchange.

Shapur understood that this was for him to go and talk to the relevant authorities and persuade them to accept such a scheme: loans, oil repayment.

Therefore, he said helplessly, "Mr. Li, the problem is still the same, your relevant departments do not accept oil for tanks, and they will not accept oil to repay loans." ”

Li Lu smiled and said, "I will sign a contract and promise to buy all the crude oil you repaid." The government has no worries and will definitely agree. Besides, what you are asking for is a loan in Chinese currency, not in US dollars. ”

"That's great!" Shaple was pleasantly surprised. Li Lu's assurance is equivalent to clearing the last obstacle.

Li Lu signaled Shapur to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Shapur, I have one more request. ”

"Tell me." Shapur slowly calmed down.

Li Ludao, "The deposit ratio of the Evil Fox light wheeled rocket artillery system should be increased to 50 percent, and the remaining part should be paid off within one year. ”

Shapur understands Li Lu's request, after all, a company has taken such a big risk, and it is understandable for you to pay in advance.

"No problem, we can enter into a supplementary agreement." Shapur said, "But the mining rights, I need to ask for instructions from the country." ”

"No problem."
