"Mr. Zhu, my name is Megan Field, a senior manager of the Middle East branch of Mobil Oil Company." The visitor is a white middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a suit, shirt and tie. He looks very rigorous. .
"Hello." Zhu Yu gestured for him to sit down, and the security team poured tea for Meghan. His secretary or assistant placed a document on the coffee table in front of him.
After the security team members exited, Zhu Yu asked:
"Mr. Megan, what are you doing here?"
"We, Mobil Oil Company, want to acquire Mr. Zhu's oil field." Megan looked at Zhu Yu and said, "We will offer a price that is consistent with its value."
"I don't plan to sell this oil field." Zhu Yu waved his hand, "I want to develop it myself. It's rare that there is an oil field that I like more. It just so happens that I have the idea of developing industry now, so I'm sorry."
"Mr. Zhu, please don't refuse in a hurry." Zhu Yu's refusal seemed to be expected by Megan. He looked at the documents in front of him and said with a smile:
"Price, 10 billion US dollars - Mr. Zhu used to be a treasure hunter, so he should know the value of 10 billion US dollars."
"I know, but I think the price is still low." Zhu Yu shook his head.
This foreigner deserves to be from Mobil and has deep pockets. This export is many times what Gu Chaoxian paid.
But based on the current measured reserves, this price is still far from enough.
"No, no, no, Mr. Zhu, developing industry requires investment." Megan shook her head and said:
"You can get these 10 billion U.S. dollars without spending anything extra. Although the value of this oil field is higher than 10 billion U.S. dollars, you will need to invest a lot in the future. In the end, the money you earn may still be Not more than 10 billion.
After all, there are too many uncertain factors in this world! "
Megan’s words were profound, and he looked at Zhu Yu after he finished speaking.
"Can I understand that this is a threat to me from Mr. Megan or Mobil?" Zhu Yu said with a smile.
"No, no, no." Meghan waved her hand immediately. How could he admit this? Once he admitted it, there was a possibility that he would be left here!
This Chinese Zhu Yu has a de facto armed force on a certain island!
"I mean, you will encounter all kinds of situations in the development of oil fields. After all, you are a layman when it comes to developing oil fields."
Zhu Yu did not deny this, but he did not say it directly, but nodded and said:
"I have invited a professional team from China. I will not do things where laymen guide experts.
In addition, according to our domestic customs, when doing oil field development, accident prevention plans and drills must be carried out. So, Mr. Megan, don’t worry.
Since I decided to develop this oil field, I didn’t intend to do it for fun. We have rich experience in oil fields in China and we also need a large amount of crude oil in the country, so I accepted Mr. Megan’s kindness. "
Megan wanted to persuade Zhu Yu, but looking at Zhu Yu's firm eyes, he swallowed his words again.
This is not a young man who will change his mind easily.
But I'm afraid he hasn't encountered any real setbacks before, so let the cruel reality teach him how to compromise!
Meghan said goodbye and left. Sitting in the car on the way back, he looked at the information in his hand and felt it was a pity.
The oil in this oil field is so good, why hasn’t it been discovered before?
If Zhu Yu hadn't taken the initiative to spread the news to China, and then the branch employees there heard about it and reported it to their superiors, who then reported it to their superiors, I'm afraid that I, a senior executive here in the Middle East, wouldn't have known about it. Woolen cloth.
According to the information, this oil field was discovered and contracted by the Japanese country. It seems that Japan has no good intentions either!
Such a good oil field is actually planned to be developed quietly. I really don’t understand my own status!
But the Chinese have taught them a lesson, so next, let's find someone to take back this oil field for the Japanese!
After all, 100 million tons of reserves are enough for my company to develop for a long time! (He did not yet know that the reserves of the oil field had been greatly increased after precise measurement)
The worst case scenario is just like before, finish developing what was well developed in the early stage, and then sell it at a high price.
Anyway, there are plenty of people to take over!
After Meghan figured it all out, she took out her satellite phone and dialed a number. After being connected, she said calmly:
"The negotiation failed, let's implement plan No. 2. Remember, you have to do things perfectly, and don't let me hear any noise afterwards!"
Although the United States basically has no credibility and reputation here, and can even steal oil, Meghan, as a company executive turned politician, feels that she still needs to have the necessary face.
Even if you pretend, you have to pretend.
After Megan left, Ran Jie, who was standing behind Zhu Yu, asked:
"Boss, this negotiation has collapsed. Should the next step be to go to war?"
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days and you learned how to use idioms!" Cao Dalong on the other side joked, "Captain Ran, that's not bad!"
Ran Jie glared at him and looked at Zhu Yu.
"Well, the other party will definitely take action. It's an old problem." Zhu Yu nodded:
"Let's take precautions. Let the security chiefs of each oil well strengthen drills, and our drones must also expand the scope of reconnaissance and search. Especially at night, we must strengthen vigilance!"
With the support of drones, Zhu Yu felt that his chances of winning were greatly increased - after all, this thing was really labor-saving for reconnaissance.
It has already demonstrated its power in the coal mines of Afghanistan.
"Since the beginning of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, we and the Americans have really lived in a way that we hate." Cao Dalong sighed deliberately and seriously, "This is not the result we imagined!"
"Hahahaha!" When he said this, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie both laughed.
Yes, since the founding of the country, the Chinese military has suffered from a serious phobia of insufficient firepower. The weapons it has developed have longer and longer ranges and more powerful, and they are almost unstoppable.
At that time, the United States was also frightened by China's night fighting capabilities. The development of night vision devices was so advanced!
Now the other party leaves so easily, but how could he actually give up so easily?
So, let’s fight. Most likely it will be at night.
It's just a pity that the drones purchased from He Yongjie in China have not yet arrived, so the civilian drones currently used can only be used for reconnaissance.
"Our drone person in charge is modifying the current drone to see if it can be changed into one that can drop bombs." Qin Fei reported, "If done well, it may be of great use."
"That's good. Give him more encouragement, and he will be rewarded heavily if he succeeds!" Zhu Yu has respect for this type of technical staff, "We can't let him do these things in vain."
"clear."
Leave professional matters to professionals. Zhu Yu didn't say much more about defense. He believed that the security chief and Ran Jie would do a good job in this matter.
When Megan and their SUV were driving towards the capital, two black SUVs passed them and drove into the depths of the desert.
"Are these two cars heading towards the Chinese oil field?"
"Maybe," the assistant said, remembering the map he had seen, "but there are several ancient ruins near the oil field, so I can't be completely sure."
"Write down the license plate and check it when you go back." Megan, who has always been cautious, ordered.
Aria, who was in the off-road vehicle, was also curious about Megan's car.
If this road passes, it will most likely be in the direction of the oil field.
Looking at the license plate and the model of the car, it was obvious that it was not driven by ordinary people.
Is there anyone else looking for Zhu Yu?
After Aria returned to the palace with the treasures, the sisters got the news and ran over to inquire about the situation.
In Arabian historical allusions, treasure hunting has always been a mainstream - there is a lot of related content in the story of "One Thousand and One Nights".
These noble ladies hidden in the palace may not be able to participate in such activities in their lifetime, but this does not mean that they are not interested in such activities.
As a result, the news spread more and more widely. Later, Crown Prince Abdullah was alarmed and took the time to come over to see Ariya's harvest.
Looking at the simple tableware and accessories with complicated patterns, Abdullah could easily figure out their value.
"These things should be part of the collection of a noble or merchant in ancient times." Abdullah said:
"Maybe it was hidden due to the war, and then you dug it out again until now - was it Zhu Yu who led you to dig it out?"
"Yes." Aria replied slightly shyly.
Abdullah looked as if this was indeed the case, and then asked:
"Then did he make any demands?"
"Making a request? What request?" Aria was a little surprised, "Why did he make a request?"
Abdullah looked at his silly sister and couldn't help but sigh, what a silly sister!
He could only say:
"He gave these treasures to you without saying a single unnecessary word?"
"No." Aria thought for a moment and said, "Besides, I found these things! What he found were gold coins and he left them over there."
Could it be that this girl of mine was really lucky and found the treasure?
Abdullah asked Ariya to tell what happened.
After listening to Aria's story, Abdullah's trace of luck disappeared.
"If it weren't for you, or if Zhu Yu was rude, all of these things should belong to him." Abdullah said bluntly, "He asked you to knock, just to give you a reason to find out."
Abdullah did not continue, but he felt that since Zhu Yu had done this, he must have something to ask for.
How is it possible to vaguely give away millions of dollars of things without asking for anything?
Not even the emerging billionaires can do such a thing.
Abdullah, who received a Western elite education, felt that everything has a price.
With the price Zhu Yu currently paid, it was more than enough to marry Aria!
How could he not ask for it?
All we can say is that he has bigger plans!
Seeing Aria happily admiring the accessories, Abdullah sighed and let his sister stay in the dark.
If anything happens, I, as my elder brother, can come and help.
He returned to his office and called his assistant:
"Keep an eye on the oil field contracted by the Chinese near the sea to the south of the point. If anything happens, report it to me in time!"
"OK."
Shortly thereafter, Abdullah received the news that Mobil's acquisition of the oil field had not been successful.
Abdullah immediately felt that he had guessed Zhu Yu's original intention.
An established oil company like Mobil will definitely not give up.
I'm afraid that this Zhu Yu took advantage of his sister because he hoped that he could mediate, right?
After all, the oil fields are within its own kingdom. No matter how good Mobil is, it still has to give itself some face, right?
Abdullah was already prepared for Zhu Yu to come to see him.
Since his sister is happy and Zhu Yu has given a lot, what if he just acts as a peacemaker?
After all, China has become more and more influential internationally in the past two years, and OPEC is giving it face. By doing this, you are basically just following the trend and earning favors.
"Your Highness, Princess Aria has taken people to the oil field in the south." The assistant came to report again.
"Go ahead, go ahead." Abdullah waved his hand. My sister is older. Although this Chinese man named Zhu is a bit sentimental, he is at least good to his sister and she likes him.
He knew that this kind of thing could not be stopped.
Zhu Yu was also a little surprised by Aria's arrival.
"Princess Aria, there may be some unrest here recently. I suggest you go back to the palace first."
Regarding the princess, Zhu Yu thought it was better to speak directly.
"Why is it not peaceful?" Aria asked unexpectedly, pointing at the security team members who were training or wiping their weapons outside the hospital:
"With so many armed people protecting us, it should be very safe!"
"Someone is planning to buy this oil field recently. I don't want to, so I'm afraid that those people will take extreme measures." Zhu Yu expressed his guess, "After all, some people have criminal records. If they can't get it, they will burn it..."
Aria immediately thought of the off-road vehicle she met when she came here, and then thought of the question her brother asked. She thought she had guessed what Zhu Yu was thinking. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she still said:
"I'm going to call my brother right now and ask him to send someone over to protect your oil fields!"
"No, no, no!" Zhu Yu waved his hand hurriedly, "I have enough people here. I'm afraid that if someone comes to do damage, I won't be able to protect your safety. Do you understand?"
Aria looked at Zhu Yu seriously, trying to make sure whether he meant what he said.
"After all, maybe I will also participate in the defense." Zhu Yu continued, "Although there are many people here, there are so many oil wells to protect, and there will be fewer people once we are separated...
But believe me, if it's just for defense, it's enough for people like me to protect the oil wells. You stay here, I'm just worried about something happening. "
When Zhu Yu said this, Aria understood.
My brother's thoughts are really unnecessary.
And Zhu Yu really persuaded her to leave for her safety.
Aria turned to look at her bodyguard.
Five bodyguards.
They are all female guards who wear headscarves and have received special training.
The leader said to Aria:
"Your Highness, for the sake of safety, we also advise you to leave here."
"If I want to stay, can you protect me?"
"We'll do our best. But we need some long weapons."
Aria looked at Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu touched his head speechlessly.
What's this?
"I just want to see who dares to carry out such unscrupulous actions in our kingdom." Aria's words were so high-sounding that Zhu Yu couldn't even refuse.
I had no choice but to ask the security personnel to fetch five automatic rifles.
One of the bodyguards said:
"Do you have a sniper rifle?"
"Do you have a machine gun?" The other one asked more simply.
"I want a pistol." Aria looked at Zhu Yu and said confidently, "Don't think that I can't do anything. At least I have done shooting."
Well, Zhu Yu fulfilled the wishes of these "violent women".
Soon, Aria, including Amina and the bodyguards began their gun test operation.
As a bystander, Zhu Yu was really surprised. Those bodyguards are really well-trained, not showy, and they work together very well.
Although Aria and Amina were carrying pistols, they were really not novices. At least looking at the movements of loading bullets and firing guns, they should have had hundreds of shooting experience.
That's okay, at least self-protection is no problem.
In fact, Zhu Yu was not completely worried about their safety. After all, he has more confidence in his players.
The main reason is that with their presence, they can't let go - but Aria is right, at least her presence can prove that some people really don't care about this being a sovereign country and just send mercenaries at will for their own interests. Come here to burn the oil fields.
It is also a good thing to be able to draw Abdullah or the tendency of this kingdom to his side.
Even though they said this, Zhu Yu and the others could not be completely ready for war.
While everyone was preparing, Zhu Yu and Aria went to the ruins of the ancient city again.
But once you get to the outskirts of the ruins, you can't get in.
It's full of black scorpions, big and small!
"I'm afraid those people all died here." Zhu Yu pointed to the two pickup trucks outside and said, "The cars are still there."
Aria was not very afraid of scorpions, but seeing so many scorpions made her feel a little scared.
I originally planned to see if I could find some more treasures, but that was definitely not possible right now.
"Since we can't find it in the ruins, let's go and have a look in their car." Zhu Yu pointed at the pickup truck that had been covered with sand.
There was also a man lying next to the pickup truck, but now he had become a mummy. There were many dead scorpions around him.
"Scorpion's previous range of activities should have reached here." Zhu Yu said, "After killing this person, Scorpion retreated."
Even so, they were cautious when inspecting the pickup truck.
After all, this black scorpion is not easy to mess with at first glance!
Then they were like a great geographical discovery, there were so many things hidden in this pickup truck!
Looking at these things spread out, Zhu Yu smiled and said to Aria:
"This can be considered a treasure hunt for us."
But not long after he was happy, Zhu Yu was called back by a phone call.
There's a situation over there on the coastline! (End of chapter)
