178. There are many difficulties
He and Abdullah are already complete iron buddies, so as soon as the two met in Harriet, Vladimir did not beat around the bush, but directly inquired about Abdullah's oil deal.
Abdullah, who is also by temperament, admits without hesitation, "Yes, there is indeed a meeting to be held recently to sign an agreement to increase oil production." ”
"Old man, how sure do you think you are of cooperation?"
Abdullah smiled slightly, and was not in a hurry to answer the question, but looked at him and said, "Old man, how big do you want to be?" ”
Vladimir did not hesitate, "I hope it is zero." ”
"I know what you mean, you don't want this agreement to be signed, do you?"
"That's right, but this time I'm not thinking about my interests, but about our country."
Abdullah knows that Vladimir is certainly not fighting alone, and that he has the elders behind him, so if this oil deal is reached, it is foreseeable that it will have a huge impact on their crude oil production, which will directly lead to a decline in profits.
"Actually, it doesn't matter what our countries are at, the point is that there are some bastards who have been trying to reach this agreement."
"Prince Hussein has the same attitude?"
"The prince's attitude has become ambiguous from the initial opposition to now, you know, his aim is whether he can get back all the shares of the Emirates Oil Company, and we are not short of money now, in other words, there is not much difference between the income from selling 10 million tons of oil a year and 100 million tons a year, except that one is a short-term gain and the other is a long-term gain."
Prince Hussein's change of attitude made Vladimir feel that he would not oppose the agreement, after all, his main target was the Emirates Oil Company.
For a moment, Vladimir didn't even know what to do.
"Old man, if you can, I think you can communicate directly with His Royal Highness the Prince and show him your attitude, in fact, in this oil country, our emirate has a lot of right to speak, if he doesn't agree, this agreement will definitely not be reached."
Vladimir nodded, "I know, but I can also understand the difficulties of His Royal Highness the Prince, he desperately needs to take back all the shares of the Emirates Oil Company, hoping to further enhance his personal prestige by facilitating this matter, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to go to him at this time, and it will also give him problems." ”
"I'm sorry, old man, but there's really nothing I can do, it's beyond my means." Abdullah looked embarrassed.
"It's okay, I can understand you, when you have time to play on my island."
"You have an island?" Abdullah was curious.
"Yes, in Nial, I spent half a billion dollars to build it, it's really beautiful, there's an airport on the island."
"Then I'll have to go there when I have time to see your private island."
In the evening, Abdullah hosted a banquet for him, and Vladimir had planned to stay in the emirate for a few more days, but because the matter was related to the Emirate, Vladimir left Harriet the next morning and returned to Lundu.
As soon as he returned to Lundun, he asked André to do such a thing, that is, to find a way to gather information about the background, purpose, and significance of the oil deal.
"And Trupp's eldest son, Eric, who is engaged in futures investment on Warer Street, I feel that he may be able to provide some useful help to us, I will contact him, you will fly to New York in the next two days."
Andrei recorded them one by one.
After the transcription, Andrei repeated it briefly, as usual, and after confirming that it was correct, he was stopped by Vladimir as soon as he reached the door.
"Andrey, let all of them go back today, don't come to disturb me, and all the other calls will be rejected except for a few extremely important ones."
Andrei nodded, walked out of his office door, and sure enough, in the living room next to him, he saw a lot of subordinates who needed to report things.
"You all go back, the boss has something to do all day today."
……
As soon as André left, his office became incredibly quiet.
Vladimir took a sip of his coffee, put down his cup, pulled out a Parker gold pen from the pen holder, found a blank piece of paper, and began to sort out the relationship between the oil deals.
Facilitators: United States, Europe.
Neutral side: Emirate (the possibility of being forced to side with the United States is not ruled out).
Against: Mao Ziguo and a number of other countries.
From the point of view of national strength, it is clear that the promoter is better than the opposition.
But within the country, there are also opponents.
Vladimir is convinced that as long as he promotes it vigorously, he will definitely jump out.
This guy is a businessman who is also preparing to run for the presidency right now, and if this deal is reached, then Trupp will definitely not be able to make a profit from it, although his investment focus is not in the energy sector.
But this does not mean that Trupp is not interested in energy, but Vladimir and Trupp feel from their contact with him that this guy has actually been coveting energy and weapons, these two fields are definitely well-deserved profiteering industries, and I don't know how many times more comfortable than his real estate business.
So Trupp is a pawn that he can use.
However, before contacting Trupp, Vladimir still combed through the content of the meeting with Trupp again based on the limited information provided to him by Andrei, and he did so for only one purpose, that is, to prevent being trapped by Trupp.
Before flying to the United States to meet, Vladimir still had one more thing to deal with, and that was to call Akinfeev and Mamelo from the Philippines to Lundu.
In his office, Vladimir told them about his decision to keep the two guys in Rio.
"Renato's already attacked me, so when you get there, you have to establish good contact with Kininov, train their guys, I will give them if they lack money, and I will give them weapons if they lack weapons, and you must get rid of them within two or three months."
"Reincarnation Paradise"
"Boss, these are all right, and Chernov can come with us?" Akinfeev: They just made such an additional request.
"Chernov still has things to do in the Philippines, he can go to temporary tasks and work, don't think about it if he is permanent, but you can choose any one of his people who understand informatization."
"Okay then."
Before Akinfeev and Renato left his office, Vladimir did not forget to advise, "You go back to Philippines and hurry up and get ready, and in three days I will send a plane over and fly directly to Rio." ”
