"How much?"

In the next second, Meng Pingfan, the leader of the Ministry of Petroleum, who was sitting there, asked rhetorically with incredulity in his tone.

For the old man Wei Qingshan and the old man Zhou Jinlie, there is actually a basic concept of Wang Ye's foreign exchange earnings this time, after all, Wang Ye briefly described it in the previous report, but the leader of the Ministry of Petroleum, Meng Pingfan, doesn't know!

"Nine billion, I hear it very clearly!"

Without waiting for Wang Ye to repeat, the leader of Su Mingyuan, who was sitting there, said quickly with his eyes shining, and he spoke clearly, there was absolutely no inaudible situation, this time the old man Wei Qingshan did not ridicule him for being in charge of money.

"Sent it? Yes? Sent it? ”

"Old Wei? Old Zhou? Old Sue? Why didn't you react at all? ”

"Applause! Is it scared stupid? Hahahahaha! ”

With the voice of Su Mingyuan's leader, Meng Pingfan, the leader of the Ministry of Petroleum who was sitting there, suddenly had a wonderful expression, and it seemed that he could already think that if all these foreign exchanges were used to purchase various oil-related equipment, the level of Huaxia's oil industry would soar forward for at least twenty years!

Although it was impossible, it did not prevent him from thinking about this exciting and spectacular picture!

"That's right! Applause! ”

"Hahaha!"

At that moment, Su Mingyuan, the leader of the Ministry of Finance, also reacted, and under the leadership of Meng Pingfan, the leader of the Ministry of Petroleum, the entire conference room burst into thunderous applause in an instant, and Wang Ye's face may have just entered the warm room from the cold, and it looked red, and there was only a smirk.

Finally waited for the applause to go out, and the one who applauded the hardest was the leader of the Ministry of Finance, Su Mingyuan, who looked embarrassed and emotional, blinked his eyes vigorously, and breathed a sigh of relief with a slight redness in his eyes, as if the burden on his shoulders was a little lighter, looked at Wang Ye and said:

"In 80 years, we just adjusted our direction and wanted to develop the economy, but we didn't have any money, and it was those fraternal countries that lent us money and loans, so that we finally took the first step with difficulty."

"I remember very well that at the end of that year, our foreign exchange balance was 1.296 billion in arrears."

"In 81, everyone was very anxious, and the foreign exchange activities were vigorously promoted across the country, and there may be some unreasonable apportionment tasks, but in the end, we have money in our account, and the balance at the end of the year is 2.7 billion."

"And this year, by the end of October, we still have a total of 5.8 billion foreign exchange on our accounts!"

"Wang Ye! Well done! Well done! If you go out like this, you will work hard for two months on top of countless units in our country, not to mention that most of our foreign exchange is oil and mineral exports. ”

"The cost and profit can't be compared with these orders of yours!"

"In the past few years, everyone has said that my Lao Su is a Pixiu, only in but not out, is an iron rooster that does not pull out a hair, and all units have reasons to use foreign exchange, don't I know that this money should be spent? But where am I going to get so many dollars! ”

Accompanied by the voice of Su Mingyuan, the leader of the Ministry of Finance, everyone at the scene had an embarrassed expression on their faces, even the old man Wei Qingshan was full of emotion, even though he was dissatisfied with the reduction of army expenses, but it was also an internal financial problem, in the field of foreign exchange, the past few years have been so difficult!

"Especially you, Old Meng! In the past two years, you have been a big consumer of foreign exchange! ”

"Some time ago, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep, if you must clap the Mitsui Group's oil equipment, we have to be tossed off a lot of money by the little money we have saved in the past two years!"

"I didn't expect this good news to come so quickly, not to mention the business achievements in Saudi Arabia, there is still such a big investment at the end of the year!"

"Now my old Su can also spend the New Year comfortably!"

"Even if you don't mention that Wang Ye has contributed to your cooperation with Saudi Arabia, just talking about this foreign exchange, you all have to thank him!"

In the end, Su Mingyuan, the leader of the Ministry of Finance, swept away the decline and emotion just now, and couldn't help but laugh again.

In fact, what the leader said is also the truth, oil is the foundation of industry, and with the country's economic development as the main direction of determination, the promotion of the oil industry is naturally the most urgent problem, only the development of the oil industry, the relevant upstream and downstream industries can prosper, not to mention the far place, the level of the oil industry is not good, even the production of chemical fiber is a problem, it is indeed good has become the mouth of the masses of high-grade clothes!

Not to mention, for the current China, eating is still the number one priority, and the root of eating is the food problem, but if you want to increase food production, in addition to the impact of seeds, artificial, agricultural machinery, and water conservancy, the most important thing is pesticides and fertilizers, but in this era, the production of pesticides and fertilizers, such as urea, has an important relationship with petrochemical industry.

"Hahaha, that's right! That's right! We should thank Wang Ye well! ”

"In this way, Wang Ye, if your Red Star Consortium is involved in anything related to the petrochemical field in the future, if there is any problem, you can call me directly!"

"Come, do you smoke? Let's get one! ”

Meng Pingfan, the leader of the Ministry of Petroleum, looked really happy, and with a wave of his hand, he opened such a big opening for Wang Ye, and finally even took out the cigarette in his pocket directly, and after taking out one himself, he pushed half a pack in the direction of Wang Ye.

"Since the leader said so, then I won't be polite!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, especially the old man Zhou Jinlie said with a cigarette in his hand:

"Lao Meng, what you said, Wang Ye, this kid is really not polite!"

"Just wait! It's a big problem! Hahaha! ”

At the same time, Wang Ye quickly stood up, leaned over with a smile, and lit a cigarette for Meng Pingfan's leader, but Meng Pingfan's leader disagreed with Zhou Jinlie's statement, and said with a cigarette smile:

"Trouble? How much trouble can it be? Can there be no trouble with foreign exchange to buy equipment? ”

"As long as you don't have this trouble, it's not a problem!"

Hearing his categorical voice, the old man Zhou Jinlie smiled and did not continue to speak, looking like we would walk and see, and then the atmosphere of the scene gradually eased, and they lit cigarettes one after another, the sky was full of snow outside the window, the room was full of smoke, and everyone began to chat.

"That's right, Wang Ye."

"Didn't your previous report say that the final transaction amount should be around 700 million?"

"Why is there so much all of a sudden?"

After chatting for a while, the old man Zhou Jinlie suddenly said this, for this question, Wang Ye said with a smile:

"Because when I was writing the report, I hadn't counted the small orders."

"It's just a few relatively large transactions."

"But then I did the math, and I found that there were a lot of small orders, and these orders were mainly from those nobles and businessmen in Saudi Arabia, but then I thought about it carefully, if it was just armed with powerful guards and the like, it should not be able to consume so many weapons."

"So some of these elites and businessmen, some of whom must be agents of other countries and organizations, get weapons from Saudi Arabia and then transport them to their destination through other means, and even I suspect that there are many people who are in collusion with Iran, but I don't know how they are going to ship things over, and some of them may belong to some armed groups."

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these Saudi aristocrats and businessmen are very business-minded and are ready to resell these weapons."

"I guess soon those arms black markets will be lively!"

Hearing Wang Ye's explanation, everyone present suddenly realized, but everyone basically didn't care about where these weapons would go, at this stage, just earn foreign exchange directly, and nothing else mattered.

Then Meng Pingfan, the leader of the Ministry of Petroleum, put down the teapot in his hand, and then asked with a smile and curiosity:

"Wang Ye, tell us about the process of your trip?"

"I heard Xiao Chen say it's quite exciting!"

Hearing Meng Pingfan's leader say this, several leaders present immediately nodded one after another, even Zhou Jinlie and Wei Qingshan, the old man was no exception, because although Wang Ye had typed a report before, the description above was rather vague, how could it be so vivid and interesting in person?

"It doesn't matter if it's confidential or not."

Noticing Wang Ye's expression when he looked at him, Old Man Wei Qingshan said with a smile.

Then under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then coughed lightly before he began to tell:

"When I arrived at the airport that day, I happened to meet Director Chen and others."

Then, accompanied by Wang Ye's narration, the expressions of everyone present were like riding a roller coaster, sometimes surprised, sometimes laughing, sometimes worried, sometimes excited, sometimes amazed, sometimes abrupt.

Finally, when they heard Sattaler's idea and plan for the "three-country melee", everyone was directly stunned!

"I really never thought that we would be so valued in this way by a country that is thousands of miles away, in the land of four wars, and has not even established formal diplomatic relations!"

In the end, the old man Zhou Jinlie couldn't help but say with emotion, while the old man Su Mingyuan next to him frowned and said:

"But I have to say that his ideas and ideas are actually not wrong."

"This is indeed a means of checks and balances!"

"So I think we should work hard to promote the establishment of relevant diplomacy with Saudi Arabia, after all, we didn't know in the past that this country is so rich and has such amazing spending power!"

Hearing this, the old man Wei Qingshan couldn't help it again, and said with a smile:

"I said Lao Su, you are three sentences that do not leave the money!"

"If you talk about diplomacy, you can talk about diplomacy, and this can all be related to whether there is money or not?"

In this regard, Su Mingyuan's leader said angrily:

"Of course, and I'm in charge of money, what's wrong with talking about money?"

Of course, the old man Wei Qingshan was also teasing, he smiled and did not answer the words of Su Mingyuan's leader, but sighed and said:

"But the prince overestimated us!"

"Now how can we have the strength and capital to set foot in the desert area?"

"Is it by the soldiers who are running? Besides, the next step is to focus on economic construction, how can we take care of them thousands of kilometers away? Their plan, I'm afraid, will fail! ”

"I only hope that in the end, they will not be disappointed and affect the future cooperation between us, especially the transaction with your consortium."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the old man Wei Qingshan's voice fell, Wang Ye shook his head and said:

"Chief, I can't agree with what you say!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looking at Wang Ye changed slightly, and the old man Wei Qingshan asked with interest:

"Why? You talk about it, let everyone hear it. ”

"See if it makes sense?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye thought for a while, organized the language, and then said:

"When I met with Commander Song before, when you two went to the consortium, I said similar things."

"Although we are very poor, we are not weak, we do need development, but sometimes, we should not be arrogant, which will greatly affect our international interests."

"As a simple example, you say that in this world, how many countries can launch rockets and satellites, and how many countries have nuclear weapons?"

"In fact, there are not many, we are one of them, this is our hard power."

"If you use more popular words, if there is a man in a village who is poor and jingles, but he is tall and big, and the key is that he is particularly able to fight, do you say that everyone will give him three points of face?"

Of course, this example is not a good analogy, but it is the fact that when a strong man stands there, his very existence is a deterrent, and I think there is no doubt about it! Even if this strong man is a good guy and doesn't like to fight at all! ”

"Just like this time, Satler's plan is like this, I cooperated with him, and we were pretending to be a tiger, didn't we succeed in the end?"

"At least through this incident, we can see the big from the small, that is, the United States and the Soviet Union, both of us are 'respectful', because they each understand one thing, that is, if we completely fall to the other side, then for this side, it will be a fatal disaster!"

"The art of politics is checks and balances, and in such a situation, why can't we be like Saudi Arabia, left and right?"

Speaking of this, in the expressions of everyone's thinking, a smile appeared on Wang Ye's face, and he coughed lightly and continued:

"And, I've already given Sattaler an idea, an idea for us to intervene in the desert!"

"Of course, this is only an idea at present, as for whether this idea can be turned into a plan, or even into an implementation plan, or how big a plan, how grand a plan, it depends on the final decision of the leaders!"

Hearing this, the old man Zhou Jinlie extinguished the cigarette butt and said:

"Say!"

Wang Ye smiled and said:

"This program is called the 'one-to-one assistance package for scientific research'."

"To put it simply, we complement each other's advantages in the form of cooperation and co-construction, they have money, and we have scientific research foundation and scientific research technology, isn't this just taking what they need?"

"In the first stage, I'll give you an example."

"Take their Riyadh University and our Red Star Secondary School as an example, they sent the first batch of 2,000 students to study abroad, and we implement militarized standards for management, and charge them a little study abroad fee, such as $10,000 a year for a person, isn't it too much?"

"Then we sent 500 experts and professors in various fields to Riyadh University to serve as university teachers to teach and conduct simple scientific research activities, and they gave us 50,000 US dollars per person per year for the cost of being stationed abroad, right? Of course, this is the price of food and housing. ”

"Coming and going, even if it's just the first stage, both of us have gained a lot!"

"We have gained money, gone to the teachers there, obtained a better experimental environment and financial support, and they have obtained a group of students with excellent character and academic ability, and the overall level of the university has been further improved."

"Look, isn't that a win-win?"

"And more critically, this is only the first phase of cooperation, and only the first step of the first phase of cooperation!"

"The key is that we have really set foot in the desert, which has caused a certain degree of impact on the local area, and as the cooperation advances, this impact will be further expanded, and because this impact does not involve the military, neither the United States nor the Soviet Union will react too drastically."

"Leaders, do you think that's the truth?"

Accompanied by Wang Ye's voice, everyone present had stunned expressions, but soon after Wang Ye's words went through in their minds, everyone's expressions were much more exciting!

First of all, if the Saudi side is interested, then there is no reason for this side to refuse!

Indeed, as Wang Ye said, a win-win plan, what reason should not be carried out? And this is a long-term solution, not a year or two to have an effect, at least ten or eight years!

The key is only the first step of the first stage, which can bring 55 million foreign exchange earnings to the country every year, don't take bean bags for dry food, although 55 million can't be compared with Wang Ye's achievements this time, but in fact it is quite a lot, how many barrels of oil do you have to sell normally, remove production costs, and finally have so much profit?

More importantly, there is another role in this process, that is, to go out and complete the contact with the world!

After all, compared with the current China, it is obvious that Saudi Arabia and the world are more in tune, and such a plan to kill two birds with one stone, three wins, or even more is simply perfect!

"Shhh Behold! Let's not talk about it here. ”

"Just report it! Then call Lao Huang of the Ministry of Education over and discuss it specifically. ”

"And it's not too early, let's eat first!"

In the end, Su Mingyuan, the leader of the Ministry of Finance, who was sitting there, looked quite complicated, and said after chuckling twice, for this suggestion, it was instantly approved by everyone else in the conference room!
