Jiang Cheng was the kind of person who would do something as soon as he was interested in something. Originally, the Alamein Islands had made Jiang Cheng feel aggrieved. Things had reached a certain point, and he had boasted in front of the old general that he would bring contributions to the country.
However, because of a shameless hypocrite who went back on his word, his brothers were assassinated and the Great Chieftain was killed. The force that he had painstakingly built up for more than half a year was destroyed in a single day.
This was very angry for Jiang Cheng, who had sacrificed half a year of his youth. He had been wronged for half a year, and the foundation that he had worked hard to build was all destroyed in just one day.
Now that he had another chance, Jiang Cheng would certainly not give up so easily.
But first of all, if he wanted to take over the islands, he first had to have money. Looking at President Omar's various initiatives, Jiang Cheng could see that this man was still a bit smart. He was not as easy to fool as Bagir.
It was estimated that if he wanted to take over the islands, he would have to spend a lot of money.
But Jiang Cheng did not have much money on hand at present, because relatively speaking, most of his assets were real estate. His cash reserves were actually only two or three billion. This amount of money might be a lot for the country, but for the development of such a large oil field, it was really a bit of a stretch.
Jiang Cheng had roughly calculated that to develop an oil field, from personnel to equipment, it would cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars, and the premise was that you had to negotiate with the Sudanese government.
As for whether to directly rent or directly buy the islands, it was still up for discussion.
The island was actually a long way from the Sudanese mainland, but legally it belonged to Sudan. The countries on the coast had no sovereignty over it.
This was a benefit brought about by the political structure of the late colonial period. But at that time, there was nothing on the archipelago. It was only used as a transit station during the sailing era, specifically to supply passing ships with fresh water and food.
The area of the island was not very large, not even the size of a city, so it had not received enough attention in the past few decades. But in the 1960s and 1970s, before China returned to the United Nations.
Our country's geologists passed by the Alamein Islands and made a survey there, asserting that there must be a large oil field under the Alamein Islands.
But because the professor was still very young at that time, what he said was not taken seriously enough, so many people did not know about this prediction. Only the professor himself remembered it. After returning to China, he handed over his survey results to the country and kept them in the library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
At that time, Xu Hu was able to conclude that the oil field had a large amount of oil reserves because he knew about it from the survey report, so he encouraged Jiang Cheng to do it.
God gave Jiang Cheng a great opportunity, but he missed it the first time because of an accident. Now God gave him another chance. Jiang Cheng knew that if he didn't succeed this time, he might not have another chance in the future.
God had favored him once or twice, but not a third time. So, Jiang Cheng began to plan in his mind how to develop the oil field.
Jiang Cheng immediately took out his phone and called Xu Hu, who was far away in Beijing. When Xu Hu answered the phone, Jiang Cheng was keenly aware that there seemed to be breathing on the other side of the phone.
"Hello, boss, what's the matter?" Xu Hu was out of breath when he spoke. It was obvious that he had just been doing strenuous exercise. Thinking of the breathing just now, Jiang Cheng seemed to have a little understanding of what this guy was doing.
In the dead of night, wasn't it the time to do that? Xu Hu's romantic character was still so unchanging. Jiang Cheng did not know if the girl he mentioned last time was still looking for him. Thinking that a once dignified officer was chased by a girl with nowhere to run, Jiang Cheng began to laugh in his heart.
"You brat, you're scaring the girl again. Aren't you afraid that the girl who has been looking for you will castrate you?"
"Shh, boss, wait a minute. I'll go out and talk to you!"
Soon, Jiang Cheng heard a rustling sound coming from the phone and a woman's voice. The woman said, "Where are you going? It's not over yet. If you don't serve me well tonight, I'll go to my father tomorrow and say that you're stealing pheasants outside! "
"Oh, my lady, please spare me. This is my captain. He has something urgent to talk to me about. Let's continue after I finish the phone call, okay?"
Xu Hu hurriedly put on his underwear and went outside. Then he said to the phone, "Boss, what's the matter? You almost scared me to death just now! "
"You brat, who was that girl just now? Why are you looking for my father? "
"Sigh, let's not talk about it. Didn't I tell you last time that I accidentally slept with a girl? In the end, that girl kept pestering me. A few days ago, I was caught by her. I had no choice, I couldn't escape. She told my old man about it. My father said that we'll be engaged in two weeks. By the way, boss, when I get engaged, remember to come and drink! "
"Haha, you brat, after playing with women all your life, you still can't escape the curse of starting a family. No problem, I'll be there on time in two weeks. By the way, I have a project at hand. Do you want to participate?"
"Project? Well, tell me, boss. Do you want me to pay or contribute? I'll participate! "
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's heart warmed. Xu Hu was a real brother to him. When he said that he had a project, Xu Hu said that he would participate without even asking, which showed that he trusted Jiang Cheng very much.
"Well, do you remember the Alamein Islands I mentioned to you?"
"F * ck, boss, I still remember. One billion for oil, 100 billion US dollars buried under the sea. It's a pity that so much gold hasn't been dug out. But now the international price of crude oil continues to fall. If you want to make money, you have to sell it to our country. Our domestic oil price is comparable to that of foreign countries. You know!"
Of course, Jiang Cheng understood. That bunch of brats. The price of oil abroad was 1 RMB, but it was 6.80 RMB in China. Moreover, it was also 1.80 RMB when exported. This kind of business ancestor was really unprecedented.
But this was also good. If the excavated oil could be sold, of course, it would be a good thing. If it couldn't be sold to our country, then we could sell it to foreign people. Anyway, selling it to anyone would make money. Oil was a strategic resource, so there was no need to worry that no one would buy it.
However, the security problem was relatively big. As everyone knew, the United States' occupation of this kind of strategic resource was very terrifying. The Middle East was originally such a prosperous and rich place, but now, because of the United States, there was no peace, and there was smoke everywhere.
There were also reactionary and terrorist organizations wreaking havoc in that land, so Jiang Cheng was very clear that if he wanted to make money, he had to find a political background to rely on. Xu Hu was the son of an official, which was a very good background.
At least with a military background to do this, it would be easier for him to do business outside.
"Just now, I saw the election in Sudan. Their president has changed. This new president seems to be very friendly to our country. I plan to talk to him before he visits our country. Do you want to come?"
"Okay, my dad has been scolding me recently. He said that I have nothing to do every day and stay in Beijing every day to harm people. It's better to go out and make a living. Recently, the arms business has been f * cking hard. The Russians seem to be very short of money now. The price of arms is very low, so we are almost out of food. I think I'd better change my career and dig oil with you!"
"That's settled then. I'll tell you what I need when the time comes. You can make preparations now. OK, I won't delay your good things. Bye!"
Jiang Cheng hung up the phone and put it down. Before he lay down, Liu Zuiqing, who was beside him, asked, "What's wrong? Haven't you given up on that oil field? "
"How can I give up so easily? I spent a lot of effort to get that archipelago, but it was all gone in one day. I don't want to give up. Qing 'er, if I still want to invest in that place, or even buy that place, will you support me?"
Liu Zuiqing hugged Jiang Cheng's waist with a smile and said, "No matter what you do, I will support you, whether it is financially or spiritually. I will fully support you. What's mine is yours!"
Jiang Cheng's heart was suddenly filled with happiness. With such a confidante, a man's life was worth it. Of course, Jiang Cheng had more than one confidante.
Thinking of women, Jiang Cheng thought of Ning Meng, who he hadn't seen for a long time. He didn't know where this little girl was now. No one knew where she was. General Ning didn't say anything, so Jiang Cheng always thought of the little witch in cute clothes who came to tempt him. She told him all kinds of jokes and cried from time to time.
Thinking of that little witch, Jiang Cheng's heart was almost broken. Where was this little girl now? Why didn't she call him?
Liu Zuiqing clearly felt that there was something wrong with Jiang Cheng. She saw Jiang Cheng's sadness from his eyes. Liu Zuiqing didn't know why Jiang Cheng suddenly became like this, but she could guess that Jiang Cheng should be thinking of someone who made him sad.
Liu Zuiqing couldn't help but exert a bit more strength in her hand. Then, she gently tugged on Jiang Cheng's pants.
This sensitive movement was noticed by Jiang Cheng at once. As a man, Jiang Cheng already had some thoughts about a beautiful woman in his arms, but he was afraid of Liu Zuiqing's injury. Although she was much better now, she had not fully recovered. How could he do that?
