When Wang Ye and Sattler disappeared completely, after a brief silence, a burst of suppressed discussion broke out in the hall.
"Damn it, Sattler? Why did he suddenly show up at the party?"
"It's really surprising. He hasn't appeared in public for a long time!"
"Does it mean that His Majesty is planning to re-activate him?"
"Exciting news, Prince Sattler is finally returning to power!"
"Hiss? Then how will he return?"
"By the way, who is that man? Why did His Highness the Prince walk directly towards him? What are the two of them laughing at? Is there some conspiracy?"
"It is said that he is a businessman from China, and he is also an arms dealer!"
"Arms dealers? How can there be arms dealers in China? Aren't their arms exports all acts of the state?"
"The specific situation is unclear, but he is indeed an arms dealer. The weapons that are popular in the black market recently are all his handiwork."
In the huge hall, everyone's expressions were different, and the contents of the whispered discussions were also different. Some were in groups, some were whispering, some were sighing alone, and some were laughing heartily. The words "Vanity Fair" were written vividly.
As the most powerful party organized and convened by Prince Duarte for the first time in two years, in addition to Saudi dignitaries and senior officials, many of the attendees were personnel from various consulates abroad, foreign businessmen, and foreign friends. , celebrities, ladies and beauties, etc.
Everyone in the world is busy for profit, and everyone present has different interests and demands. The appearance of Sattler must mark the beginning of some changes, and he and the young man are full of drama. The conversation about style can't help but make people think about it. After all, this young man is not ordinary. His origin, his clothes, and his work will all make people think of something.
For a time, the relaxed atmosphere in the hall no longer existed, and many people even left one after another, obviously preparing to report the news.
In the hall, Catherine and Elizabeth couldn't help but look at each other. Their action had just begun and seemed to be over, because Sattler had just walked past them without paying any attention to their beauty, and even looked away from them. They passed by as casually and naturally as if they were jumping over an obstacle, without stopping for a moment. So at this moment, the two people looking at each other began to doubt life.
As the most outstanding KB members who were sent to get close to such high-level officials, they were still quite confident about their looks. Even though three years had passed, Catherine was only twenty-three years old and Elizabeth was only seventeen years old. They were the richest What a charming age!
"Could it be that he likes men?"
"No wonder I haven't heard about him having a princess in these years!"
Finally, Catherine looked around, and then lowered her voice and said this. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the father who looked like a wine barrel next to her shook his head and said very firmly:
"Impossible, their eyes are very familiar to me."
"It is a belief between men that they will rush towards a great goal together. It can even be said to be comrades!"
"These two people must have been in secret contact in some way in the past, but we don't know it clearly, and they must have the same ideas and beliefs, or goals, in some aspect."
"The wheels of history are starting to roll forward? What exactly does that mean?"
When she heard her father's voice, Catherine couldn't help but start to frown, feeling that the direction of things seemed to be getting more and more outrageous.
at the same time.
Megumi Mitsui and Yoshi Fujii, who were standing behind the huge pillar, also looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. Fujii Yoshi, who was over fifty years old, couldn't help but sigh:
"The situation is not good for us."
Regarding Fujii's words, Mitsui Megumi nodded in acquiescence. They never expected that two things that were originally unrelated would be suddenly connected by one person, forming some unique connection.
On the one hand, it is to prevent China from purchasing oil equipment and technology from Saudi Arabia.
In the past, Mitsui Group relied on two sources. The first one was the economic exchanges between Japan and Saudi Arabia, which were much closer than the other side and Saudi Arabia. So with deeper economic exchanges, it could naturally ask the other side not to conduct this transaction. The second one was that Japan In the past, Saudi Arabia and Japan also had a lot of cooperation in the field of petroleum equipment. After all, it was less than ten years before Saudi Arabia took back the oil wells and founded Aramco. Their technology mainly absorbed the legacy left by Western countries, and then purchased and imported it. In this process, there was naturally interaction with the energy giant Mitsui Group.
In short, relying on closer cooperation and exchanges with each other, we can make some adjustments, such as asking Saudi Arabia not to cooperate with each other.
The second aspect is that Mitsui needs to purchase oil from Saudi Arabia.
Originally these two things had nothing to do with each other, but the appearance of Wang Ye and his relationship with Sattler made the two things inexplicably connected. It seems that the relationship between the two countries is not as simple as it is made public. Although the two countries have not officially established diplomatic relations.
Moreover, as a target major customer for oil purchases, Mitsui Group has not yet established a good relationship with Sattler. Under such circumstances, Wang Ye was originally a key point that could be used, such as introducing Prince Sattler through him, but if Maybe, because of the petroleum equipment procurement issue there, if Wang Ye makes a stumbling block at will, the Mitsui Group will return empty-handed!
"Fujii-san, what do you think we should do now?"
Finally, Megumi Mitsui asked, and Fujii's eyes flashed slightly, then he looked left and right, and said in a low voice:
"I think that for the time being, we should give up destroying cooperation between the two parties, give priority to contacting this young man, and use him to connect with Sattler. This is our most critical issue, which can solve our urgent problem of lack of oil. If we and Sattler If the agreement can be signed as soon as possible, then their equipment negotiations are probably just beginning, and we can still use other means to intercept, Miss, this is my opinion."
Hearing this, Mitsui Megumi understood. To put it bluntly, Fujii's plan is to create a time difference. The oil purchase agreement is simple to sign. After all, oil is oil. It is loaded in international standard barrels. Refer to the national oil price and pay as much as you want for the number of barrels you buy. But equipment procurement can be troublesome. There are a lot of details. It would be good to have a clear idea in a month or two.
at the same time.
Just when everyone in the hall was having their own secrets, Wang Ye and Sattler had already arrived at a living room on the second floor. The staff accompanying Sattler quickly checked the room and finally nodded to indicate that there was no problem in leaving. Got out.
It was obvious that although Sattler respected his uncle, he did not completely trust him.
"Please take a seat, my friend."
Then the visitor sat down on the sofa. Sattler looked at Wang Ye and smiled:
"Although we should have some understanding of each other."
"But I think the first step to becoming friends is to have a formal self-introduction, rather than the cold words on the document, right?"
In Sattler's view, Wang Ye learned that his channel was very simple, that is, their country's intelligence department.
Sattler didn't feel offended by this. After all, he himself was engaged in intelligence. It was the most normal thing to understand a person from intelligence. In fact, nothing could be done without intelligence. If there was no intelligence support, it would be impossible. If you do something, you can only say that person is a fool!
What Sattler admires most about Wang Ye is Wang Ye's wisdom, whether it's him using sheep's head to sell dog meat, winning a large order at the Canton Fair, making their products sell well in Africa, or his changing clothes. Pretending to attract foreigners to buy, or maybe he came to Riyadh and just found a cafe and simply revealed a little information, attracting many potential customers, including himself!
Although there was no evidence, Sattler had a vague feeling that Wang Ye's attraction to other customers was a secondary purpose. It seemed that from the day of the Canton Fair, his ultimate goal was to target himself, and the news about his downfall and seclusion was not a secret. Under such circumstances, why would he still be optimistic about himself? How did he figure out that he had not completely lost power when he lacked sufficient intelligence support?
In fact, this question had been bothering Sattler for several days, and he was going to ask about it later!
"How about I go first?"
"My name is Sattler Mohammed Al-Sat, the prince of this country, but he is currently out of power and living in hiding. Of course, I still have a small amount of intelligence and military power in my hands. "
In Wang Ye's warm eyes, Sattler said this very calmly.
When he finished speaking, Wang Ye said with a smile:
"My name is Wang Ye, a Chinese native. I graduated from Huaqing University six months ago and then became the director of the Red Star Machinery Factory."
Hearing this, Sattler couldn't help but take a breath. After all, the two sides have no diplomatic relations, so Sattler actually doesn't know much about the process of Wang Ye's rise. This is incomparable with Mitsui's intelligence gathering ability. , after all, Mitsui has closer relations with the country because of cooperation.
"Six months? Gas tanks? Fire rockets? And that kind of small plane?"
"To be honest, I'm just too curious, my friend!"
"Can you let me know your story?"
Sattler did not hide his curiosity and spoke directly with a smile, without any twists and turns.
Wang Ye was not polite and started to talk about his past casually. However, in the process, he concealed some content that involved and needed to be kept confidential. Wang Ye told the other content in one go. The reason why Wang Ye was so candid was that Because he knew Sattler very well, perhaps because he had been insecure since he was a child, and later entered the intelligence service, Sattler had very high requirements for honesty!
In other words, only those who are honest enough can truly become his friends.
Half an hour passed quickly. When Wang Ye came to an end with his story, Sattler couldn't help but sighed and said:
"What a longing story! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
"My friend, your wisdom is truly amazing!"
At this moment, while Sattler was praising him, he couldn't help but feel relieved and at the same time confirmed his guess!
Although throughout the story, Wang Ye tried his best to distance himself from any relationship with the officialdom, describing himself as a character who did not rely on the officialdom at all, purely self-explored, and even did not hesitate to sell sheep's meat, but in Sa In Teller's opinion, the more emphasis is placed on something, the more likely it is. In other words, the relationship between Wang Ye and the Chinese official is definitely very, very close!
It even matches my previous guess. In this visiting group, Wang Ye is actually the protagonist. He is a tentacle sent by China in a different way, reaching out to the desert. The reason for doing this is that Wang Ye is a military officer. The factory director who was converted to civilians, for example, said that his products seemed to be quite inferior, and even had the name of firefighting and agriculture, all in order to reduce the stress response of the United States and the Soviet Union to this matter to a certain extent.
As for the oil business group, in Sattler's view, it is just a cover. If it succeeds, it will succeed. If it fails, it will attract the attention of the United States and the Soviet Union. Even they themselves may not have the belief in success. After all, neither party has officially Diplomatic relations have never had similar cooperation in the past. It is such a large-scale cooperation, and the probability of reaching it is very small. Or the existence of Wang Ye is to open up the situation for the Ministry of Petroleum and Commerce!
"By the way, I have two gifts for you, my friend."
"Because I wasn't sure whether you would come, I didn't carry these two gifts with me. Why don't you ask your staff to go to our car to get the gifts?"
"There are staff members guarding the car, so just say that I asked you to pick them up. They are two tin boxes, so big! Just put them in the trunk."
After Sattler's emotion was over, Wang Ye said this with a smile and gestured at the size. When he heard Wang Ye say this, Sattler once again had an idea in his mind, that is, Wang Ye's target was indeed him. He knew very well that he had not lost power. How did he judge this?
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Sattler clapped his hands, and a staff member walked in. He arranged a few words and left. When the door closed again, Sattler also said with a smile:
"As a friend, I actually prepared a gift for you."
"I think this should be the main purpose of coming to Saudi Arabia!"
Following Sattler's voice, he clapped his hands again, and the staff member walked in again, but this time he held a gilded letter in both hands and handed it to Wang Ye respectfully.
Under Sattler's gaze, Wang Ye opened the letter. As expected, it turned out to be a purchase list.
"Revolver fire-fighting grenade launchers, 5,000 units; machine gun fire-fighting grenade launchers, 10,000 units; long-range fire-fighting grenade launchers, 2,000 units; 10 million rounds of grenades; fire-fighting patrol rotorcraft, 5,000 units"
In Wang Ye's memory, although Sattler has now taken over some military affairs, he has not yet mastered the power of military expenditures. At present, the only big dog who can decide military expenditures is Prince Duarte, besides the old king. .
In other words, no matter what product Sattler wants to buy now, he needs to pay for it out of his own pocket and then equip his own armed forces and a small number of troops. If he wants to further expand procurement and equipment, only his troops have determined the product. As a result, he made a report to Prince Duarte, and only after the old king agreed, could the defense expenditures of the lackeys be taken seriously.
Of course, Wang Ye has no doubts about Sattler's wealth, and has a deep understanding of it, so he knows very well that even if Sattler leaks a little bit to himself, it will be enough to make the current alliance eat up oil. .
However, at this moment, when Wang Ye saw this list, he still couldn't help but feel his tail bones trembling, because Sattler's move was too generous. Has he already communicated with the old king?
It's so inhumane!
