Chapter 1237: A Pleasant Journey
After thinking about everything, Ye Chen decided to meet Obama and tell him what he thought.
Ye Chen was the first to find Obama, but Obama's old butler, who told Ye Chen that His Excellency the President was meeting with the Pope of the Holy See at this time, and asked Ye Chen to wait for a while. Ye Chen frowned suddenly, Obama met with Lily, there must be something wrong with this. Presumably, His Excellency the President must have met with Lily for the sake of the Middle East, right? Lily is the ruler of the religions of the whole of Europe, and in a way, her rights are higher than those of the supreme leaders of certain countries.
"Okay, then I'll wait here!" Ye Chen nodded, and then waited at the door of Obama's study.
"I'll have someone make you a cup of coffee!" the old butler smiled indifferently.
"Don't be so polite!" Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't bother the housekeeper!"
"Hehe, it's okay!" the old butler immediately turned to leave. Ye Chen glanced left and right, then walked towards the door of the study, put his ear on the door, and began to eavesdrop on the conversation inside, if it wasn't for Lily reminding him that he could listen to the corner last night, I'm afraid he wouldn't remember.
However, Ye Chen didn't hear anything, Obama and Lily seemed to have finished talking, and they were talking about some other issues at this time. For example, financial support. It is clear that Obama wants to gain the friendship of the Holy See through financial aid. However, the Holy See has always been at odds with the United States on political positions. Therefore, Lily does not seem to be willing to accept US aid.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the President, but all of us have the ability to survive on our own, so we need your assistance for the time being!" Lily smiled.
"Really?" Obama laughed, "I've never heard of anyone turn down financial aid." Isn't there an old saying in China that you don't hit a smiling person when you reach out your hand?"
"That's right, I didn't hit you, I just declined your kindness!" Lily smiled indifferently.
"Well, since you insist on refusing, I have nothing to say!" Obama smiled, and then said, "I hope you have a pleasant trip to the United States!"
"Thank you!" Lily shrugged.
Soon, Lily walked out of it, and Ye Chen stood outside waiting. When Lily saw Ye Chen, she showed a touch of surprise, and she smiled: "Ye Chen, why are you here?"
"Would you believe me if I was waiting for you here?" Ye Chen had a playful smile on his face.
"Of course not!" said Lily at once.
"That's it, I'm going to see His Excellency the President!" Ye Chen smiled, and then Ye Chen walked towards the study. Lily hurriedly stopped Ye Chen, and then whispered: "I advise you, don't get too close to this guy!"
"Hehe, I have always sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, whoever can give me benefits, I will naturally approach, if anyone wants to harm me, I will stay away!" Ye Chen gently pinched Lily's face, and then walked towards the study, Lily glared at Ye Chen, and said, "Bastard, I am kind enough to persuade you!"
Entering the study, Obama didn't seem to express much surprise at Ye Chen's arrival, but asked with a smile: "Ye Chen, what do you think?"
"No problem!" Ye Chen smiled, and then said: "I have already thought about it, it is not a problem to help you convince the countries of the Middle East, but in terms of the division of interests, how do you plan to divide them?"
"Haha, as long as you can restore the normal export of oil from Middle Eastern countries to our country, then I am willing to give you half of the difference, how about it?" Obama smiled and said: "Of course, if you can keep the price lower, then the profit you earn will be higher!"
"Isn't the profit you earn the same?" Ye Chen smiled, and then said: "It's like if I work for you, you are the black-hearted boss, and you will pay me by the piece." Damn, I don't have a basic salary. ”
"Haha, that's the way the world is!" Obama laughed.
"No!" Ye Chen immediately shook his head.
"And how are you going to divide it?" Obama was stunned.
"Once I succeed in convincing the countries of the Middle East to resume their oil exports to you, then I will extract 10% of your oil as a profit!" Ye Chen smiled and said, "How?"
"No, you're just crazy!" Obama almost jumped up from his seat, Ye Chen's proposal naturally compressed the profit to the lowest point, if it was lowered a little more, I was afraid that I would suffer a loss, Obama looked at Ye Chen and said: "If you follow your plan, I would rather start an oil war!"
"Hehe, a war can cost hundreds of billions of dollars, you might as well give me 10 percent of the oil. Ye Chen hooked a smile and said, "Moreover, even if you fight, you may not be able to win." There is a risk in war, and if you start a war, what will your people think of you? Don't you want to be eligible for re-election?"
Ye Chen's words almost silenced Obama. Ye Chen is right, if he starts a war, he may not be able to win in the case of the alliance of the countries in the Middle East, and even if he wins, he may not be able to occupy oil resources, and Iraq is the best example. Clinton launched the war against Iraq and won the war, but how many soldiers were killed and wounded in Iraq? On the surface, it was a victorious war, but it was a lost war at all.
At that time, it was only Iraq, but now it is a united country in the Middle East.
"Five percent!" Obama snapped five fingers.
"No, it's too little!" Ye Chen immediately shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, shouldn't you be so stingy?"
"Six percent?" Obama replied again, "Ten percent is not possible anyway." ”
"Forget it, let's take a step back, eight percent!" Ye Chen also seemed to feel that ten percent was too much, he was just using his lips to take away ten percent of the oil resources from Obama. Therefore, Ye Chen decided to take a step back.
"Okay, that's it!" Obama nodded.
Immediately, the two sides signed a non-disclosure agreement, and Ye Chen must assist the United States in allowing Middle Eastern countries to resume oil exports to the United States. As revenge, for every 100 barrels of oil imported by the United States from Middle Eastern countries, it will unconditionally give Ye Chen eight barrels of oil. Ye Chen, this guy is like a parasite attached to the body of the United States.
"Cheers to our cooperation!" Ye Chen raised his glass.
"Cheers!" Obama nodded.
Then, Ye Chen left from the study, and the old butler stood aside, and it was not until Ye Chen left that he spoke, "Your Excellency, do you really want to give Ye Chen food from your mouth?"
"Hmph, I won't be so stupid!" Obama snorted coldly and said: "Once Ye Chen helps restore the oil line, then, I will send someone to personally communicate with the countries of the Middle East, and at that time, I can import oil from the Middle East without Ye Chen." When the time comes, I won't keep my promise with those eight barrels of oil!"
"Okay, what a trick to cross the river and tear down the bridge!" the old butler laughed indifferently.
Ye Chen returned to the room, with an excited face, he didn't expect to get a sustainable development path for Sunset City so easily. The United States imports countless barrels of oil from the Middle East every year, and it is this oil that supports the huge economic power of the United States. Then, from now on, you can take a lot of oil from the Americans for free.
Even if the United States imports 1 million barrels of oil from Middle Eastern countries a year, it can get 80,000 barrels of oil from them free of charge. If the 80,000 barrels of oil are sold directly, it is naturally worthless, but if the 80,000 barrels of oil are processed to produce gasoline, diesel, and asphalt...... and so on, then the value will multiply several times.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but be excited. These things are all good things, and if Sunset City wants to become a real city in the future, then there will be no oil industry link.
"What is so happy?" Li Ruo looked at Ye Chen in the future.
"Hehe, can't you be happy if you're fine?" Ye Chen took Li Ruo in his arms, and then said excitedly: "I fired a shot last night, so I am naturally happy physically and mentally." What do you think otherwise?"
"Go, you guy, you're always not serious!" Li Ruo replied angrily, and then said: "I'll tell you to be serious, who is smiling with you!"
"Haha......" Ye Chen was still smiling, Li Ruo simply put him aside, and then said, "Let's go, I'm ready to eat!"
Ye Chen followed Li Ruo to the banquet hall, and this time, there were much fewer people in the banquet hall. There were five or six people sitting at the table. And these people Ye Chen is not very familiar, and the most familiar one is only Lily, Cassie has already left. and the eldest brother of the Bamboo Union Gang left the White House with people, and it is estimated that those guys also got the benefits of the United States, so they left the White House in a hurry.
Obama arrived late, and the old butler came with him, and under the command of the old butler, the ladies brought up all the exquisite food, which was nothing more than some Western meals, steak, foie gras......
"Everyone, let's dine!" Obama smiled, a charming smile. There are no superfluous words. Everyone picked up knives and forks and began to eat, during which many people said goodbye. Naturally, Obama will not stay, but will tell you to be careful on the road.
After lunch, Ye Chen and Li Ruo also left. And Lily left the White House resentfully with the support of Hongxiang, especially the look in Ye Chen's eyes when she saw it, she almost wanted to eat Ye Chen. Ye Chen could only walk away quickly. For fear of being caught by Lily and beaten wildly.
