Chapter 262: Get Ready

Could it be that this is what the MIA is for?

Although he felt unbelievable, Wang Dong had to admit that the only thing that could make the Military Intelligence Bureau come up with real materials was this purpose.

Of course, compared to the tens of trillions of dollars in IPOs, the technology to produce the head-down bomb is simply not worth mentioning.

If Aramco is compared to a big fish, the techniques used to sink their heads are bait.

After making such a big turn, it's no wonder that Wang Dong can't figure it out.

It's just, that's it?

Obviously, it's still early.

Theoretically, if Aramco does not go public on the New York Stock Exchange, the only option is the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

In fact, Aramco has been in contact with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the past few months, during negotiations with the New York Stock Exchange.

Of course, this is also a normal negotiation method, using it as a bargaining chip.

So, how likely is it that Aramco will be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?

Wang Dong doesn't know much about finance, but in his opinion, the possibilities are infinitely close to zero.

The point is that this is not a financial issue, let alone an economic issue, and it has little to do with politics, diplomacy, or the military.

This is a matter of the survival of the Saudi royal family!

If you don't go to New York and go to Hong Kong, isn't that a clear turn against the United States?

If nothing else, will the US troops deployed in Saudi Arabia agree?

If the US authorities treat what Crown Prince Mohammed did before him as a child's game, and the Saudi royal family has money anyway and does not take it seriously at all, then as long as they take this step, the US authorities will regard Crown Prince Mohammed as the number one threat.

With the way the United States treats such figures, Crown Prince Mohammed will never live to the day of King Salman's death.

To put it more seriously, Saudi Arabia will be the next Syria, at least following in Egypt's footsteps.

From this point of view, whether it is Crown Prince Mohammed or the Saudi royal family, they are actually just putting on a show and putting a little pressure on the United States.

Let's not forget that Crown Prince Mohammed was attacked on his own soil, and only a few dozen kilometers from the capital.

Behind the scenes, it was the allies of the United States who planned, organized, and launched the attack, even if Shigeo Nishiguchi was a civilian on the blacklist.

According to Wang Dong's understanding, the Saudi royal family made a fuss about this matter in order to force the Japanese authorities to severely punish the murderers behind the scenes.

Of course, the key is to maintain the face of the royal family.

"That's true, but no one can predict the impact of this for sure." Musharraf said.

Wang Dong nodded slightly and said: "The impact must be great, we can't think of it at all, and there is nothing we can do, but for us, it's not a bad thing." ”

Musharraf did not object to Wang's claims, but he did not fully agree with them.

The point is that Wang Dong, Musharraf and Serena were present at the time of the attack, and it was Wang Dong and Musharraf who killed the attackers.

Although there is no propaganda from the Saudi authorities, there are so many people present that it is certainly impossible to maintain secrecy.

What's more, Crown Prince Mohammed personally rewarded Wang Dong and them.

If you let the outside world know, the devil will know what other people think.

"Actually, it's useless to think about that." Luo Qing pursed his lips and said, "We came to Saudi Arabia to buy and sell arms, not to open a bank." ”

"Yes, even if it turns the sky upside down, it will be a fight between the gods, and we mortals will just watch the excitement." Zhang Zilan lost no time in following.

"I agree with Wang Dong's point of view, it's not a bad thing. If nothing else, it's just a life-saving grace, and it's enough to pay it back. ”

As soon as Xie Chuyue said this, Lei Dong, Wang Haotian and Tie Hu nodded in agreement.

"Didn't Prince Waleed invite you to come over and discuss cooperation? Tomorrow, when you go to see him, you will know whether it is good or bad. Zhao Huang ended the topic.

"Okay, let's all disperse." Wang Dong let out a long breath, got up and said, "Do whatever you have to do, it's best to stay in the hotel honestly, don't go out to cause trouble." If nothing happens, we'll be back to Edinburgh tomorrow, and I'll have a drink at that time. ”

Wang Dong said so, and the others got up one after another to say goodbye.

Serena stayed last, and when the others were out, she closed the door.

"Anything else?"

"There is some truth to Mura's concerns." At the beginning, Serena did not speak, not without ideas, but inconveniently.

Wang Dong nodded and went to pour Serena a glass of water.

"In a few days, the news will spread, maybe it has already spread."

"How's that?"

"We have to be ready."

"What preparation?"

Serena was stunned for a moment, and then said: "As long as you know that we were there at the time and saved Crown Prince Mohammed, Lawrence will definitely treat us as treasures." ”

"Is that a bad thing?"

"It depends on how you look at it."

Wang Dong nodded slightly, and let Serena continue.

"If it was a cooperation with BAE Systems, it would not be a big problem, we were fully prepared, and I was sure that I would achieve the set goal, which was to get the shares of FN held by BAE Systems. As for the rest, there is no need to think about it after that. ”

"You're saying there's another possibility?"

"My concern now is that if Lawrence takes a fancy to our relationship with the Saudi royal family, he probably wants more than cooperation."

"Annexation of us?"

Serena nodded and said, "Of course, he will offer a price that is attractive enough, and he will also give some extremely advantageous conditions, such as letting us continue to run the D&F company, while BAE Systems will only participate in the shares, and at most will seek to obtain a controlling stake." ”

"It's obviously impossible."

"If Lawrence brings it up and we ......"

Wang Dong pressed his hand and said, "You are still limited to the present, but you have not considered another problem. ”

"What's the problem?"

"Is there still a basis for our partnership with BAE Systems?"

Serena was slightly stunned, then frowned.

"Obviously, the acquisition of FN is no longer an option, so the basis for our partnership with BAE Systems no longer exists. However, it would be great if FN could be acquired at a very small price. If you can't, it's a big deal. ”

"That's a shame, isn't it?"

"What's the pity compared to survival?"

"Survival?"

Wang Dong let out a long breath before saying: "If your concerns become true, not only BAE Systems, but also the British authorities will investigate the details and background of D&F. It won't be long before you can find out about me, and then find out about my relationship with Huaxia. When the time comes, D&F will inevitably be seized by the British authorities, and we will also be wanted, do we still need to consider the issue of cooperation with BAE Systems? ”

"This ......"

"Of course, you reminded me. Like you said, we do have to be ready. ”

Serena sighed and nodded her head to show that she understood what Wang Dong meant.

The "preparation" that Wang Dong said was not to find a way to deal with BAE Systems, but to withdraw from the UK.
