Chapter 534: Investing in the Middle East

readx;?readx; Chen Zhong has always been obsessed with the matter of Jingwumen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He was very annoyed why such a tragedy had happened when he had established the Huaxia Empire before this period of history, but when he was still in charge of the world.

So, he ordered Yan Xia to secretly send people to assist Huo Yuanjia's disciples, find the real culprits and solve these Japanese in the way of rivers and lakes, even if they chase to the edge of the sky, they must kill these Japanese killers who killed Huo Yuanjia's master.

At this time, it was already the middle of July 1911, and the weather in Beijing had entered the hottest period.

Chen Zhong was in the Qinzheng Palace, in front of the world map, and his eyes were focused on this place in the Middle East.

"Middle East" is not an official geographical term. The Middle East refers to the eastern and southern regions of the Mediterranean, from the eastern Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf, and the "Middle East" is also geographically the region of western Asia and northeastern Africa. It includes parts of Western Asia and Egypt in Africa.

The Middle East is connected to the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, Europe and Asia, and the Middle East has been a transportation hub between the East and the West since ancient times, and is located in the place of "two oceans, three continents and five seas", and its strategic location is extremely important.

The ship is not far away, and the enemy hates the moon, so it is examined

In later generations, the Middle East region fought for precious freshwater resources and oil resources, and there were constant wars for many years.

The Middle East will be a rich land in the future, and almost every country will be rich.

After far from hating ghosts, he learned to take the moon and fight the master

Because, under their feet, under that vast desert, there is enough gold and oil buried enough to make the whole world crazy.

However, Chen Zhong traveled to this era, and the Middle East was still a vast desert.

The ship is not cool, and the knot is learned by the revenge

In this arid desert area, many nomadic tribes live. The people here are very poor. Few countries have any idea of this place.

However, Chen Zhong knew very well that the people in this place were simply sleeping on gold. Underneath this barren land, how much industrial blood is buried.

People in this era did not know that under the vast yellow sand, there would be so much liquid gold - oil.

The regions where oil was discovered, first in Europe, Mexico, etc., and later in Iran, this is the first time that oil has been discovered in the Middle East, and although it is not a large oil field, it is very valuable.

No other country in the Middle East has yet to discover and exploit oil in this way.

So Chen Zhong had a bold idea, quickly invested in the Middle East, and then, established the power of the Chinese Empire in the Middle East, helped the people there, built railways, opened schools, built factories, and then let them extract oil.

Chen Zhong's eyes are focused on the land of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is located on the Arabian Peninsula in southwest Asia, bordered by the Persian Gulf to the east and the Red Sea to the west, and borders Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen and other countries.

During this period, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was a poor country.

However, in later generations, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is definitely a veritable "oil kingdom", ranking first in the world in terms of oil reserves and production, that is, because of oil, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has become one of the richest countries in the world.

The kingdom of Saudi Arabia has not yet taken shape, and Abdul Aziz has occupied only a generation of land around Riyadh.

Although, two years later, Abdul Aziz conquered some lands in the Arabian Peninsula, but he was not able to rule the entire Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Therefore, Chen Zhong wanted to help the Abdul Aziz regime gradually unify the Arabian Peninsula by supporting it. Eventually, the Arabian Peninsula was exclusively oiled.

Chen Zhong considered that in order to successfully implement this plan, it is necessary to open up sea transportation routes. The route departs from Hainan Island and enters the Arabian Sea through the Strait of Malacca via the southernmost Zengmu Shoal.

This is to be done on two fronts at the same time: on the one hand, the Ministry of External Relations will be ordered to visit Saudi Arabia to get in touch with Abdul Aziz and reach an agreement with him.

On the other hand, it ordered the fleet to conduct a sea trial in the South China Sea, establish cooperative relations with Singapore and Malaysia, and establish military ports in Singapore and Sri Lanka.

If it is not possible to negotiate with these countries on the issue of military ports, they will directly occupy them and ensure the opening of this sea transportation route.

After Chen Zhong confirmed this Middle East investment plan, he asked Liu Hongliang of the Senate Department to begin to formulate detailed steps for the implementation of the plan.

After three days of intensive preparation and calculation, Liu Hongliang handed over to the Ministry of Finance for data accounting, and the total investment in the Middle East needs to be 23.8 billion Chinese yuan.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China more than a year ago, the Chinese Empire has undergone substantial reforms and adjustments, vigorously developing the economy, and building schools and industries. The country's economy is growing rapidly.

Because Huaxia has far more human resources than any other country in the world, it began to show its unparalleled power after large-scale industrial production.

The Chinese people are very poor, but they are just ordinary people, and the upper rulers are still rich.

The industrious people have accumulated tremendous wealth for the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

Before, it was because of the oppression of the Qing Dynasty and the plundering of the foreign powers that the national industry and economy in China did not develop.

Today, Chen Zhong's army has driven all the Western powers out, creating a favorable investment environment for private capital.

As a result, private capital has become active, and moreover, more and more, and even, the domestic market is far from being able to meet the needs of these private capital.

A year ago, the domestic market, which was still full of foreign goods, has been completely squeezed out by domestic cheap and high-quality goods.

After Huaxia's state-owned private enterprises occupied the domestic market, they gradually began to expand outward.

Where there are interests, there will always be a response.

On the day that Chen Zhong asked the State Bureau of Commerce to release information on investment and investment in the Middle East, nearly 200 large enterprises across the country wanted to participate in the investment.

The total amount of investment they have reported has reached 20 billion Chinese yuan.

Chen Zhong marveled at the tremendous energy of his Huaxia Empire, a country that could be powerful as long as the heart was aligned.

The rapid development of the Chinese Empire will inevitably attract many investors, and the Chinese Empire has now become the most economically active region.

After approaching the Ministry of Foreign Relations of the Chinese Empire, the Abdul Aziz regime of Saudi Arabia learned that the Chinese Empire was willing to finance the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and was willing to import capital to help them build the Kingdom.

However, one of the only conditions was that Huaxia would develop oil on this land.

The already insanely poor Saudis, after getting this extremely attractive condition, were of course happy, and immediately agreed to the terms of cooperation of the Chinese Empire.

The knot is not the only enemy, and the art ends early

At this point, Chen Zhong's Middle East oil plan has taken its first step.
