Chapter 274: Scheming
At dusk, the guest house of the municipal party committee near the sea is bathed in a beautiful yellow tone, and the garden-style hotel is like a beautiful modernist landscape oil painting.
Such a picturesque scenery could not make Ahmet very attractive, even though he was sitting on the balcony at this time, looking out at the setting sun, his heart was heavy and eager. He didn't mean to hang Li Lu, he didn't have the mind or the time, and even the country was urging.
It's just that he can't do anything until he gets permission from the Commander, he can only wait for news.
His assistants were stationed at the post and telecommunications office, and as soon as the post and telecommunications bureau went to work, they went there to wait for the telegram, even if the post and telecommunications bureau promised to send the telegram to the foreign businessman as soon as he received it, they were not at ease. It can be seen that I am anxious about what I am doing.
Looking at the time, Ahmed knew that the post office was already off work at this time, and the assistant should be on the way back. If there was news, people would have returned long ago. Another day had passed, and Ahmed was already a little impatient.
The whereabouts of the Iranians could not be concealed from him, he already knew the movements of the Iranians, and it was a tacit understanding between them whether to see through them or not. For this reason, it is not worth questioning the Huaxia people, because the Huaxia people can choose not to sell weapons. The Iranians, too, have long known about the actions of the Iraqis, and they have maintained a tacit understanding.
Even when they meet, they pretend not to know each other.
It's not good for anyone to make a fuss, you can't go to war on the land of China. Then buy weapons and equipment according to your ability, and return to the battlefield to compete again.
Even Ahmed knew that the first batch of arms purchased by Shapur had already begun to be loaded onto ships and would be shipped away in the name of agricultural machinery. Objectively speaking, he admires the courage and brains of the Chinese people, and there is almost nothing they can't do - as long as the money is in place.
Ahmed stood up, stretched his waist, and was about to go to the restaurant to eat, when he saw the SUV with the assistant speeding towards him, stopping outside the yard, and the assistant jumped out of the car and ran in quickly.
Ahmed was stunned, he didn't come back to his senses for several seconds.
What makes the assistant so flustered?
There is news in the country!
Ahmed suddenly felt refreshed and hurriedly went downstairs.
At this point, even bad news is better than no news at all! It's better than just waiting! At least know where the problem is and then find a way to solve it!
Ahmed had barely reached the first floor when his assistant rushed over and nearly knocked him down. The assistant didn't care much, hurriedly took out the message from his pocket, and said excitedly in a suppressed voice, "Minister, approved, the commander approved your plan!" ”
Hurriedly unfolded the message to read, Ahmet was suddenly excited, and was about to speak, when a car came outside, and when he looked closely, it was actually Li Lu, the representative of Red Star Defense.
He subconsciously asked, "Do they know the contents of the message?" ”
"No, I'm the only one who has seen the message!" The assistant replied affirmatively, "As soon as I received the message, I took it back, and they couldn't read our code!" ”
Ahmed shook off his suspicions and hurriedly strode out.
"Mr. Li, you're just in time." People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Ahmad is very happy, smiling and shaking hands with Li Lu.
Li Lu saw this situation and said with a smile, "Mr. Ahmed, it seems that I came early rather than coincidentally, do you have some good news?" ”
"Hahaha, yes, Mr. Li, please come in."
The group went in and sat down directly in the small living room on the first floor. Huang Guanghui, who was guarding here 24 hours a day, went to get boiling water to make tea, and Zhang Weiwei hurriedly followed.
Ahmed asked his assistant to get busy and said to Li Lu, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I have just received news from home and I have been given clear instructions. ”
"Sure enough, it's good news." Li Lu said, "I will arrange a new round of negotiations tomorrow, so that you, Mr. Ahmed, can return to China as soon as possible." ”
"No, no, no." Ahmed shook his head and waved his hand, and said, "Now, I will work out the details with you, sign the contract tomorrow, and then I will go directly to meet the delegation and return home." ”
Li Lu was stunned, "So urgent? ”
"Yes, we've lost too much time." Ahmed said.
Seeing that this situation was relatively frank, Li Lu was not hypocritical, so he said, "Okay, finalize the details now, sign the contract tomorrow, I have no problem." ”
"Based on what we proposed last time, we are willing to exchange the exploration and mining rights in the Nanu area for 300 Fox Hunting light anti-tank missile systems." ”
Li Lu was taken aback, his eyes widened, and his expression obviously expressed a meaning-are you kidding?
Ahmed continued, "Truth be told, Mr. Lee, we know that the Iranians have traded oil for hundreds of weapons, and we believe that our conditions will satisfy you. ”
"Mr. Ahmed, I think your message is skewed." Li Lu didn't take off his pants and fart anymore, of course he knew that Ahmed knew about the transaction between the Red Star Factory and the Iranian Puda Company, but it seemed that his understanding was not detailed.
"Iran's Puda Company gave us the right to exploit the Irku oil field and the exploration rights in the area, and paid for the goods with oil. The Irku oil field is the guarantee condition, and the oil is the payment. ”
He smiled and said, "Mr. Ahmed, you must know that the Irku oil field, although it is an old oil field, but the conditions are very mature in all aspects, I think with a little investment, it is not a problem to increase production." But the Nanu region that you are talking about, as far as I know, is close to Kuwait and more than half of the area is at sea. ”
Ahmed was stunned for a moment, he had no idea that the Chinese man knew so much about the situation in the Persian Gulf. He had met many officials in the capital who were blind to the situation outside the country, and they may know that Iraq was not short of money and that the land was full of oil, but they had no idea about the situation.
"Mr. Ahmed, your country's border with Kuwait is not very secure." Li Lu nodded a little and said, "Aside from these factors, do you think which oil company has the ability to explore and develop your country's Nanu region?" ”
Ahmed suddenly understood that his plan to pin his hopes on the other party's ignorance and thus trick the other party simply fell through.
He fell silent for a moment, visibly caught off guard.
The Nanu region is close to the sensitive border and is also offshore, and some oil companies did preliminary exploration in the fifties and sixties and were able to prove that there was oil there. However, how much, what the quality of the oil, and what the cost of extraction are all unknown.
Exchanging this "hypothetical oil field" for weapons is the most clever strategy in Ahmed's opinion. You must know that if you go out of the big oil field, it is still you who will get the most generous returns.
Playing with the heart eye, how can he play with the Chinese people, and he is still a Chinese person who "comes back from the future".
Li Lu knows the famous Nanu oilfield, which is a super large oilfield, and the quality of crude oil produced is very good, which belongs to the top light crude oil. Even in the 21st century, when the cost of extraction is soaring, the super-large group of near-shore oil fields is the fat meat that major oil companies are vying for.
He vaguely remembered that one year, a company with a Chinese background took a ride and won the Nanu oil field, and more favorable news was immediately announced - on the land less than 20 kilometers from the coastline, there was a large oil field with reserves that could rank among the top 20 in the world.
The cost of onshore mining is much lower than that of offshore mining, and the consortium that won the Nanu field has made a lot of money.
But these are now empty buildings.
Not to mention that the domestic exploration and mining technology cannot reach that level, even if it does, exploration and development of such an area that has only done basic exploration in the fifties and sixties, the cost of exploration alone can easily crush Li Lu to death, and he can't even drink seawater.
When it comes to making money, that's an extravagant hope.
If no water can be made within the specified time, the government of Iraq will be able to take back the exploration rights.
Ahmed's scheming is also sinister enough.
