In the courtyard, Sattaler, who had finished with emotion, frowned and pondered for a few seconds.

It has been nearly three years since he stepped down from his position in the Ministry of Security, and during these three years, he has not participated in any high-level meetings and high-level banquets within the kingdom, and banquets are an important social avenue in this country.

"Reply to my dear uncle for me, and say I'll participate."

"As for Wang Ye's side, let's wait and see what he will do next."

Finally, Sartler coughed lightly and said to the staff outside the gate.

And the reason why I want to go is mainly for two reasons, on the one hand, I invited Prince Durt, a person who is second only to his father in Saudi Arabia, and an old man who is dedicated to this country, which makes him admire.

On the other hand, it's not far from the time for his comeback, it's time to show himself in public!

"Yes! Your Highness. ”

Hearing Sattler say this, the staff outside the door answered, and then added:

"Also, there is one more thing to report to Your Highness."

"Accompanying that Mr. Wang Ye is also a business group from Huaxia, from their oil department."

"According to the inferences of His Majesty and the cabinet ministers, they are for the oil equipment."

As soon as the staff finished speaking, Sattaler, who sat there, fell into deep thought again with his glass, and he also maintained an attitude of approval of the speculation of the king and the cabinet ministers.

After all, officials in the oil sector can only do things related to oil, and oil-related things can be divided into three categories, that is, oil well development, crude oil trading, and oil refining.

For the current Saudi Arabia, the oil wells have been nationalized a few years ago, so it is impossible to cooperate in the development of oil wells, and it is impossible to trade crude oil, because China is also a big oil exporter, and they can't sell oil from China to Saudi Arabia, right?

And according to Sartler's knowledge, an important source of foreign exchange for China at present is oil!

At this moment, Sartler seemed to suddenly think of something, and tapped his fingers on the low table next to him, and asked at the same time:

"By the way, did those Soviet rats make any moves?"

Hearing Satler's question, the staff outside the door hurriedly said:

"No, it's just a normal lumber business."

"However, in order to ensure that the other party does not detect it, we have not conducted more in-depth investigation and follow-up."

To this reply, Sartler nodded slightly, unable to see the meaning, and in his mind, countless information was colliding, as if a network was about to be formed, but it was full of loopholes and gaps.

In fact, it is not only China's current main foreign exchange that comes from oil exports, but also the Soviet Union!

And the reason why the Soviet Union exported a lot of oil was because they also needed foreign exchange and green dollars to buy all kinds of products from the international market, or to bypass the dollar and barter for the same result.

In short, for the USSR, the export of oil was equivalent to the acquisition of supplies.

In the past ten years, two oil crises have broken out in the desert area, one because of the desert war, ten years ago, and the second three years ago to the present, because of the internal changes in Yilang, the defection of the pro-American faction, the sanctions of the United States, the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war and other factors, resulting in a decrease in oil production and a sharp rise in global oil prices.

It was also because of these two crises that the USSR made a lot of money.

Now, the United States finally can't sit still, as a high-level dog boss, of course Sattler knows some secret intelligence, such as the United States has begun to take action, they hope that countries in the desert region can increase oil production.

As we all know, the more output, the lower the price, this is the basic law of the market, so the United States is doing this to destroy the economy of the Soviet Union, and it is precisely because of the danger that the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union has become more and more fierce and bloody in the entire desert area.

For Saudi Arabia, this plan is not what they want to see, and they are not willing to accept it, the reason is very simple, increase production and reduce prices, and in the end the money earned does not increase, not to mention the labor and effort, and the oil in the ground is also decreasing faster!

But there is no way, from a geopolitical point of view, next to them is the little overlord of the desert, the vanguard of the United States, the dog's legs, in the past few desert wars, basically beating desert countries, eyeing the tiger! And there is also a US fleet at sea, and if you really don't listen, you can't do it, you can only think of a way, drag it out, go around it, slow it down, and so on, after all, no one wants to be a dog, right?

Secondly, Iran and Iran, after falling out with the United States, completely fell to the Soviet Union, and with the support of the Soviet Union, Iraq screamed, while Saudi Arabia and Iraq are neighbors, and the faith line is the same, so they can only continue to support it, otherwise Iraq will not be able to withstand Iran, and the big dog will be able to withstand it? Isn't that a joke! When the Soviet Union expands, everyone will have to die, and Afghanistan is a lesson from the past.

And if Saudi Arabia wants to support Iraq, it has to rely on the United States in the end, not the Soviet Union, right?

All in all, the helplessness of a weak country lies in this, with empty wealth and no strength, it can only become a pawn.

Thinking of this, Sartler sighed, and then said:

"If Huaxia really wants to buy oil equipment, I support this business!"

"In mathematics, three represents stability, and there is a book in Huaxia called Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although I haven't read it, but I know what story it tells."

"If we can get the friendship of China, give them some support, and even lead them into the game in the desert area to muddy the global crude oil market, it is good for us, chaos determines opportunities, and if the wind stops, we must take sides."

"If it weren't for the first oil crisis, we wouldn't have been able to set up Aramco to reclaim the wells, and now it's the second oil crisis, what do we have to gain?"

"If we do nothing, we can only become pawns of the United States against the Soviet Union, and become puppets again!"

The reason why Sartler said so much was not to explain anything to the staff, but to ask them to hand their words to their father, the king.

In fact, the dog discovered the oil wells in '37 and subsequently became an oil power, when all their oil wells were controlled by American and Western companies, and the natives still lived by growing dates in the desert, and it was not until '76 that all the oil wells were nationalized, and then they began to get rich.

Then, with the sound of footsteps, the staff left.

Meanwhile.

Also in Riyadh, the capital of the dog, in the suite conference room of a high-end hotel, I saw a group of men in various suits in a meeting, the leader was a young man who looked less than thirty years old, and next to him was a gray-haired man who looked over half a hundred years old, from the dress and appearance, it can be seen that they are Japanese, and the notebook on the table also proves this, "Mitsui Group, Ministry of Petroleum Industry"

"This time, we came to Saudi Arabia for two main purposes."

"The first is to assist the equipment export sector in intercepting possible oil equipment and technology transfer agreements between China and Saudi Arabia."

"The second one, that's crude oil!"

"The price of crude oil futures continues to remain stable, and due to our trade agreement with the United States, we are unable to purchase cheap oil from the Soviet Union and Iran, which has led to a major challenge to our oil industry!"

"We have to get less crude oil at a higher price, with a longer cycle!"

In the room, the young man sitting in the first place glanced around sharply and said, his voice was very special, he could hear that he was trying to make his voice thick and powerful, but he could still hear that he was a woman!

In today's Japan, there are four consortia that control more than 80 percent of the country's economy, and the existence of oligarchs such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Yasuda (Fuji), and even the famous Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., are only a small part of the Mitsui consortium.

But the problem is that Japan is an island country with very poor resources, so their economic rise, especially in the field of heavy industry, is a strategy of "processing with supplied materials and selling well all over the world", just like the oil industry, they have no oil themselves, they can only buy oil from foreign countries, or cooperate to exploit oil wells, obtain oil and pull it back for processing, process and sell, or flow into other departments within the group, process and sell other products.

So, when external resources are not available, they will have problems!

"In order to maintain adequate supply to other sectors."

"This time, we need to take at least 100 million barrels of oil, and it can't be futures."

"It must be ready for delivery from the date the contract is signed!"

Hearing this, the atmosphere present has been quite depressing, the expressions of the men in suits are also ugly, normal oil is a futures trading method, originally in today's international oil prices, the supply of goods is tight, it is very difficult to get 100 million barrels of oil, the key is also spot, this is too difficult!

"Of course, I also know that there are difficulties, and the group knows it."

"So this time, we have 10 million dollars in PR costs."

In the end, the woman who was sitting in the first place, dressed as a woman, said with a slightly softened expression, and the atmosphere of the scene was somewhat relieved, and the next second she just opened her mouth to say something, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Although his face was full of displeasure, he still said:

"Come in!"

Then the door to the conference room was pushed open, and a man panted and said:

"We were responsible for tracking the second member of the Huaxia Petroleum negotiation team, and we did not find the recorder in the position of the first team member."

"I don't rule out the possibility of being discovered by Huaxia personnel!"

Hearing this, the woman who was sitting in the first place immediately frowned.

In the undercurrent.

Wang Ye and a group of people from the Ministry of Petroleum arrived at the office by car.

After all, there is no foreign exchange in Huaxia, and it is necessary to save a little, so the entire office is a rented small building, with offices on the first and second floors, and guest houses on the third, fourth and fifth floors for staff and business groups.

When he arrived at the place, Wang Ye, as a non-public business traveler of a state-owned factory, naturally had no reason to live for free, so he paid for ten days of accommodation, equivalent to 200 yuan, and was assigned to a good single room.

After a simple wash, Wang Ye went to bed.

When Wang Ye woke up again, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon local time, washed his face and came downstairs, ready to go to the free restaurant to eat something, and met Director Chen and others.

"Good morning, leader!"

Wang Ye held a plate with bread, cheese, milk, dried fruits, etc., and said hello with a smile, while Director Chen pointed to the clock hanging on the wall and said:

"It's afternoon, but it's not morning, hahaha!"

At meal time, everyone chatted around the table, and Director Chen said with emotion:

"To be honest, your unit is also big-hearted, let a young man like you come out, and you are still alone, not to mention whether the business can be negotiated, the key is that this is not safe?"

In this regard, Wang Ye smiled and did not speak, in fact, the Ministry of Defense arranged bodyguards for Wang Ye, and he came into contact with him from the time the plane landed, but he did not show up.

Then Director Chen asked again:

"Are you already in contact with the customer? Sent you to sign the contract? ”

In Director Chen's opinion, this is the only possibility, otherwise why would such a young boy be sent out? As for purely traveling, it is impossible, and if you can take out a thousand dollars at will, it is definitely a task, otherwise no one would dare to approve so much foreign exchange, and you can't hold it!

"No, if you say that, it would be fine."

"I'm just here to see if I can find any customers."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded, as a state-owned factory in a region, it took the initiative to run out to pull business, and even sent such a young man to batch so much foreign exchange, how can it feel so outrageous?

At that moment, Director Chen decided to go back and check on this young man's old background!

However, on the face, Director Chen still smiled:

"Anyway, your factory leaders are also quite bold and motivated!"

Hearing Director Chen say this, Wang Ye smiled at the right time:

"If you know any leaders in this country, please help introduce me."

"Otherwise, I'll run away in vain!"

Regarding Wang Ye's request, Director Chen said with a smile:

"I knew you were waiting for me here! I'll do you a favor, anyway, it's for the country to earn foreign exchange! ”

"But I've introduced you, and it's up to you whether you succeed or not."

In Director Chen's opinion, this matter is just a gesture, anyway, he helped, and Wang Ye can't complain about himself whether it succeeds or not.

After eating, the leaders went to a meeting, and Wang Ye left the guest house in a leisurely manner, he couldn't put the treasure on others, he still had to find his own way!

On the street, Wang Ye seemed to wander around casually, and even held a bag of newspapers folded with dates from the desert, walking as he walked, looking at the surrounding street scenery, and contrasting with the pictures in his memory.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Ye went around and came to the vicinity of Satler's courtyard.

This is located in a prosperous area close to the palace, there are all kinds of people coming and going, and there are many yellow-skinned people, Wang Ye, who has changed into a local costume while buying, is not conspicuous.

After walking around for more than ten minutes, Wang Ye finally sighed and decided not to take this risk.

Sattaler is quite sincere to his friends, but he is also extremely cruel to his enemies, Wang Ye didn't want to die young, so he left the nearby area, and finally came to the door of a café.
