Riyadh.

In order to welcome the distinguished guests from the East, the Saudi family mobilized nearly 100 people to prepare this dinner, and its luxury surprised Liu Mingzhao and others who attended the meeting.

But no matter which side you are, your mind is not on the exquisite food.

After the meal, Yang Qiu came to the study on the second floor at the personal invitation of Ibn Saud. The study is elegantly decorated, with a fine Persian carpet in the center, and modern technology such as refrigerators and radios. The most surprising thing is that, in addition to religious books, there are many English and Arabic translations of other countries on the shelves. Undoubtedly, the people who can enter this room now are the core members of the Saudi family, and in addition to Ben Aziz, there are two of Ibn Saud's most important sons and brothers, Chapter 625 signed! brother, and Yang Qiu's side only brought Bei Zuyi, Liu Mingzhao and a translator.

Ibn Saud wore a traditional checkered turban, a wide Arabic robe draped over his body to make him look lean and lean, and under the outward protruding eyebrow bones were a pair of eyes that were completely different from his age. This is the third time he and Yang Qiu have met in 7 days, and in addition to etiquette, it is also because of the loan agreement that almost made the family quarrel.

$3 billion, $6 billion! Who can refuse?

Ibn Saud could not resist, and the unification of Najd and Hejaz was only the first step, and the next step was to build a state, to gain world recognition, to develop the economy, to build the country, and to suppress the surrounding chieftain tribes, all of whom needed money. But it's hot to get this money! He is not a fledgling stunned young man, and he is not an old fool who doesn't know the depths. Understand that there are Britain, France, China and perhaps the United States. Either side, it is a force that the Saudi family cannot afford to offend.

Therefore, he needs time to deliberate, and he needs to gather the wisdom of the family to see through the fog.

Yang Qiu smiled and didn't speak, and Bei Zuyi and the others didn't speak, they knew best that they were currently in control, so they were all waiting for a voice. After a while, the voice finally sounded Chapter 625 sign! Get up: "Thank Allah for bringing you here." I've read the documents Aziz brought. It's a tempting plan, but I want you to understand that we don't want to get involved in any national conflict. ”

English with an Arabic accent is hard to understand. It takes a lot of care to not miss the details. Yang Qiu listened hard, and even sweat drops oozed from his forehead because of the rapid rotation of his mind. To put it mildly, this is the country's energy supply and demand in the next 100 years. Saying that it is the prelude to the division of the future world! There is no room for slackness. Waiting for Ibn Saud to finish, he said: "Honorable Emir, we might as well be more frank." I know that it is urgent for you and your family to build your own country. But statehood is not a simple matter, and the meaning of a state is not only independence, but also all independence in defense, security, finance, economy, and so on. With the exception of the venerable President Kemal, who established an independent Turkish Republic on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, no country in the region has ever gained independence from British and French colonization, and even Reza Khan, on the other side of the sea, has not been able to gain true independence because he has been torn between the Soviet Union and the British.

I can understand your concerns. The British Empire is powerful across the seven seas, but as a leader, you need to look farther! I can see that you have a wise eye to see through the fog and see the world differently! Although Britain and France were the victors in the war in Europe, the situation in both countries deteriorated. France died too young. People, most of the country's vitality has lost the power to compete, and it is rare to be able to ensure the status of Europe. The British Empire looks stronger than it was before the war, but you look at this economic data released by the British government that has not grown for six years in a row! ”

In due course, he handed Ben Aziz the Anglo-French economic data that he and the intelligence services had synthesized. After the other party finished reading, Yang Qiu continued the speech that he had already conceived several times: "Not only the economy, but also the ugly thing of colonies is increasingly opposed by the people of all countries. The Muslim brothers of the Dutch East Indies have taken action, and India is also in ruins! In the Arab world. In the vast African continent, the call for independence can be heard at every moment, and the ship of the British Empire is already overwhelmed! They are getting old, but the threat from the USSR is growing! Afghanistan is just a testing ground, and while my army is doing its best, the situation is very unfavorable at the moment. Afghanistan falls, who will be next? Persia or India? Whoever it is, it will affect the balance of the Arab world, you should be very clear about that. If Reza Khan fails, then no one can stop a red Persia from regaining domination of the Arab world!

The United States is too far away, is it worth believing that Britain and France know best, only our country is the closest and can help withstand the expansion of the USSR! We have defeated not only the mighty German army, but also the Moscow army, so our country will be an important partner for Britain and France for a long time to come, and it will be your friend. ”

These words are true and false, in addition to showing that they have enough strength, they also speak of the weakness of Britain and France and the faint appearance of the red tide. As for the last sentence, it is more direct to imply that Britain and France turned their faces on the Soviet Union because of China's support for the establishment of the Saudi family, but in fact even he was not sure about this.

Ibn Saud was said to be faintly moved, mainly because he was really reluctant to send this huge foreign aid to his door. China is an important country in the League of Nations, and it is a rising power like the United States, although it is not yet comparable, but it has surpassed France and surpassed Britain It does not seem far away now. But he was still not at ease, and only after the translation was finished did he ask in sandwich English: "The United States is far away, but China is also far away from us, how do you solve this point?" Eight years ago, Germany was stronger, but in the end it lost. ”

"The West and the Arab world have never been at odds, and if their power were introduced, would it provoke popular protests? On the contrary, when we were founded, we promised the world that we would not need colonies, let alone impose our ideas on any country. There is no conflict between us on this point. I'm sure you've also seen the loan program, which is based on the principle of fair cooperation. Maybe it's a long time, but that's just a business need. I don't want to go hungry. ”

"Huh...... There was a chuckle in the room, and even the traditional and rigid Ibn Saud slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, but his eyes did not move a bit, still staring at the final question waiting for the answer. Yang Qiu quietly squeezed his palm, and his tone gradually became serious: "China is not Germany, and we will not declare war on the whole world." Personally, I don't like war, but I'm not afraid of it! It seems far away. But in reality it is only 3,000 kilometers from Andijan here. Now all countries in the world are developing aircraft, and our country is in the first group in this field, and perhaps in a year or two it will be able to cross this distance. Even without airplanes. Our country has also formed a strong navy that can ensure the safety of the shipping lanes from the Red Sea to our country! To put it simply, this is not a small contract of millions or tens of millions. It's a loan of 6 billion! Would I be sitting here without the forces to keep my funds safe? The most powerful naval forces in the world are in the Mediterranean and Atlantic oceans west of the Suez Canal, and in the east they have less power than our country. So I'm confident that defeating any country that tries to spoil our relationship is any! ”

Seeing that his father had not yet expressed his position, Ben Aziz was the most anxious and hurriedly muttered in his ear. He didn't believe in Yang Qiu, but believed that if there was no power of protection, no one would risk 6 billion yuan, after all, this money was enough to buy the entire Najd, or several times the British Royal Navy. Let's be more thorough. If Yang Qiu fails, it will be a big deal to defect to the UK, because most of the contracts are loans in kind, and it is Yang Qiu and China who are unlucky in the end.

Ibn Saud was finally convinced, and pointed to the desk opposite. This small action made the people of the Saudi family unable to control their eyes and excitement. Bei Zuyi and the others secretly wondered what it meant, and it was not until Ben Aziz took out a pen and seal that he understood that he had finally convinced the other party.

Bei Zuyi trembled his hands and took out the contract documents that had been prepared from his bag. Although he is very worried about the safety of funds, and even more worried that the leak will lead to a war between China and Britain, he knows how meaningful this contract is! It's not just China's first capital export. It solves the trouble of the safe transfer of CIC's huge assets in the United States, and can control a strategically located country for 60 years! Liu Mingzhao next to him clenched his fists, after 16 years of ups and downs, Yang Qiu not only completely changed the fortunes of the country, but also took the most important step in the world!

But just when the room was filled with excitement, a voice abruptly interrupted all enthusiasm. "Wait!" Yang Qiu unexpectedly shouted to stop, and took out a new contract from his bag: "I'm sorry, I represent the Chinese government for this loan, so we can only sign this agreement before you can really establish the country." And that one. He pointed to the original manuscript in Pei Zuyi's hand: "It can only be used as a follow-up secret agreement, and it can only be truly fulfilled after you establish the country." ”

Ibn Saud flipped through the new contract and found that it was simple. China helped build a large reservoir in the Riyadh region to solve the problem of drought and water shortage. It will also build the first heavy oil power plant in Saudi Arabia and build the first large-scale oil refinery in Najd in Hofuf under the name of Gulf Oil. The strange thing is that after reading it, not only did he not refuse, but the smile on his face was even bigger. Because he could see that Yang Qiu really wanted to reach this loan agreement, otherwise he would not have asked to sign only a secret agreement before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

As for this simple mess of "small contracts", it must have been used to blindfold Britain and France. What's more, if you want to change from a family to a country, it can't be done in a year or two, and the secret form can just give yourself time to maneuver. After figuring it out, Ibn Saud put the two contracts together and slowly picked up the pen, and suddenly all eyes converged on the small tip of the pen, and Yang Qiu didn't even know that a little bead of sweat had appeared on his back.

The night was deep. Yan Yuqiu in the hotel was restless. Considering the conservatism and stubbornness of the Islamic nation on the issue of women, she did not attend the dinner, and because she did not attend, she was even more anxious about what was going on. She knew very well how much Yang Qiu had prepared for today, and even started studying Arabic a few years ago, and asked Chen Haohui and them to prepare a lot of materials, all for this contract.

Can it be successful? Will the conservative and stubborn House of Saud choose him to abandon Britain? If he didn't succeed, would he be very unhappy The more Yan Yuqiu thought about it, the more uneasy he became, if he didn't succeed, not only would he waste all his efforts, but he would also offend the UK, how should this be?

Just as she was waiting impatiently, the sound of wheels suddenly sounded outside, and a moment later she heard the rattling of leather shoes on the wooden spiral staircase.

Like a horn, Yan Yuqiu hurriedly tidied up his scattered sideburns, and rushed to the staircase only to see Yang Qiu and Liu Mingzhao walking upstairs talking and laughing. Even though her expression had already said everything, she still couldn't help but rush forward, almost crashed into Yang Qiu's arms, raised her head and stared wide-eyed: "Signed?" ”

"Signed!"

"Signed, all signed! Ha ha...... Bei Zuyi, Liu Mingzhao and the others behind him finally couldn't hold back their excitement, and they all laughed happily. When Ibn Saud signs both contracts, it means that for 60 years after the Saudi family pays off the loan, China will have access to a steady stream of cheap oil extracted here, and will control the country for 60 years! You can build an independent security team, an independent banking system, an independent tax, an independent finance, and even workers can get partial immunity when they enter and leave! Of course, there is also a huge income of up to 25 billion yuan with principal and interest! If in the end, the Saudi family takes back the equity of the two companies, then there will be tens of billions of additional revenues! And all this income has not touched the controlling stake in the world's No. 1 oil field that has been obtained!

Is there a bigger business than this?

No wonder even Liu Mingzhao, who was old and serious, couldn't close his mouth excitedly, and Yan Yuqiu finally forgot his identity and hugged Yang Qiu excitedly.

The cheers around fell silent for a moment, and everyone snickered and walked away quietly. Yang Qiu was even more embarrassed, but he couldn't bear to push her away, so he had to let his arms get tighter and tighter. In fact, Yan Yuqiu had already seen Bei Zuyi and the others who had left, and when he thought of his forgetfulness, his cheeks were red and he didn't dare to raise his head. But the hug that had not arrived for a long time made her heart a little empty, and after a long time, she gritted her silver teeth, as if forgetting the impulse just now, let go of her arms and slowly raised her head: "Next, do you return to China or continue to visit Turkey?" ”

Yang Qiu turned his head, looked at the moon like a golden disc outside the window, and stretched fiercely: "Go to Turkey first and then go home, what I want most now is to sleep well...... rs！！！
