Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Westinghouse Electric Company is the most important manufacturer of electrical equipment and nuclear reactors in the United States. The main business areas include more than 4,000 products in categories such as power generation equipment, power transmission and transformation equipment, electrical equipment and electrical control equipment, and electronic products. Among them, power generation equipment and power transmission and transformation equipment are particularly distinctive; since the company was founded, its products have been world-renowned!

This old electrical company, which has been established for more than a century, has two unexpected guests! If Iraq comes over with the Saudi ambassador, any company in the world will take it seriously. You must know that both companies are big oil companies, and they have always been generous in purchasing goods; as long as the product is suitable, they never care about the price.

As the CEO of the company, Kruse-Westinghouse naturally has to come out to receive it in person; currently the Westinghouse family does not hold a lot of shares and is a small shareholder. The reason why Kruse-Westinghouse became the CEO of the company was entirely based on his personal ability. Of course, it is unrealistic to say that there is no family factor at all here, but it can be said responsibly that it is minimal!

Kruse-Westinghouse said with a smile: "Welcome to the two ambassadors. I hope Westinghouse can give you a good impression!"

As the ambassador of Iraq and Saudi Arabia to the United States, I don’t have to say that I have a lot to do, but I certainly don’t have that much time. If I don’t have something important to do, I definitely won’t come to Pittsburgh!

There must be a project handed over to Westinghouse Electric, and two ambassador-level figures will be dispatched at once; the project amount will definitely not be small.

This is indeed the case. Both Saudi Arabia and Iraq are preparing to build nuclear power plants; in order to appease the Americans, they came directly to Westinghouse to discuss cooperation. Of course, there were also communications with the Soviet Union in private, but they could not be made public. After all, Saudi Arabia now relies on the United States for too many places; it does not dare to offend easily.

Westinghouse Electric is an American company, and its nuclear power technology ranks among the best in the world; only the nuclear power plants they build can be trusted by American officials. After all, this thing is not easy to make, but it can produce atomic bombs, and even if it is difficult to make dirty bombs, there is still no problem at all! The United States will never allow Arab countries to possess nuclear weapons. This is the bottom line and a matter of principle!

The two exchanged glances, and the Saudi ambassador first said: "The two of us are here this time to submit a cooperation application to Westinghouse on behalf of the Saudi and Iraqi officials."

"Saudi Arabia plans to build 4 nuclear power plants with a total of 10 units in the future to meet domestic electricity demand. At the same time, Iraq is also preparing to build 3 nuclear power plants with a total of 7 units to meet the needs of domestic industrial development."

"As the most well-known nuclear power company in the world, Westinghouse Electric, coupled with the special relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia, is naturally a priority for inspection."

These Arabs are really generous, and they are planning to build so many nuclear power plants; it is equivalent to actively sending money to Westinghouse Electric Company. But some money, especially when it comes to nuclear energy, is not so easy to make; it requires a nod from the White House.

The profit of each nuclear power plant is at least US$300 million, and just seven nuclear power plants can earn US$2 billion. Later maintenance and upkeep is a huge income; no one can remain indifferent!

Of course, Kruse-Westinghouse is still very confident; as the world's leading nuclear power technology service provider and environmental protection service giant; as early as 1990, a commercial nuclear power plant in Virginia provided the world's first pressurized water reactor. Nuclear power plant. Currently, nearly 50% of nuclear power plants in the world and in the United States use Westinghouse’s nuclear power technology.

It can be said that he is definitely the number one in the field of nuclear power, and he is still far behind the second place. It was normal for the Arabs to come looking for them.

Kruse-Westinghouse said with a smile: "Thanks to the two countries for recognizing Westinghouse Electric. Currently, Washington has not approved the construction of nuclear power plants in the Middle East. But I think Westinghouse Electric will build nuclear power plants. There should be no big problem." .”

After that, he took the two people around Westinghouse Electric, mainly introducing the company's products. Although the contract has not been directly confirmed, both parties are sincere; signing is only a matter of time.

Of course, Kruse-Westinghouse also has her own concerns. Convincing the board of directors is not a big problem; lobbying the White House is a troublesome matter. But no matter what, Westinghouse had no other choice.

Once Westinghouse refuses, the Arabs will inevitably seek cooperation with the Soviet Union; Lao Maozi will not care so much about building nuclear power plants, a profitable business; he will definitely not miss it.

If that were the case, it would only benefit the Soviets in vain; it would also lead to the Arabs completely turning to the Soviet Union.

In fact, Bao Zixuan was behind everything. Niger's uranium mines needed sales. The Arab world, which is bent on possessing nuclear weapons, will naturally not refuse. The blatant development of nuclear weapons will inevitably be suppressed by the United States; even the Soviet Union will impose sanctions on it.

Everything can only be done secretly; among them, building a nuclear power plant and accumulating technology can be regarded as being blocked in advance! Only then did the ambassadors from the two countries come to the Westinghouse headquarters together; the choice lies with the United States, it depends on whether they accept it or not!

If Uncle Sam refuses, then things will be easier to handle; go directly to the Soviet Union, and Lao Maozi will definitely not refuse. Since the leak of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, the Soviet nuclear power field has been trying to prove itself; Middle Eastern countries took the initiative to come to the door, and it was not too late to welcome them!

The next day; Westinghouse Electric Company held an emergency board meeting.

Since the Soviet Union increased cooperation with Middle Eastern Arab countries, major American companies have become nervous. Arabs have money in their hands and have a very bad temper. If you go a little slower, they will make others dissatisfied. They will never spoil you and will directly seek cooperation with other countries.

Not only will it make money, but it will also completely offend customers; there will definitely be no possibility of cooperation in the short term.

Several major aircraft manufacturers are typical representatives, and at least they are not having a very good time now!

After seeing the people arriving, Kruse-Westinghouse said directly: "Just yesterday, the ambassadors of Saudi Arabia and Iraq came to the company together. The intention is very obvious, they hope to reach cooperation with Westinghouse Electric; preliminary plans have been made OK. Saudi Arabia is preparing to build four nuclear power plants, and Iraq is preparing to build three nuclear power plants."

“As long as the conditions are right, all equipment and technology will be purchased from Westinghouse!”

Hearing this, the directors present were shocked, but also felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.

The big players in the Middle East are always good at making money; if they build so many nuclear power plants at once, they will definitely make a lot of money!

One of the directors said with a smile: "Saudi Arabia and Iraq have always had stupid people and a lot of money. In the field of nuclear power, apart from Westinghouse Electric, there are not many choices. You must seize the opportunity and make a lot of money." !”

"I completely agree with the construction of nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia and Iraq. After all, except for some developing countries, other countries do not lack electricity supply!"

After hundreds of years of electric power development, power plants in Western countries are basically saturated; to a certain extent, this has even resulted in excess power generation!

Large-scale power station projects mainly come from some developing countries; but Westinghouse Electric's products are very high-end, and the prices are naturally not cheap. Even if the product has excellent performance, many developing countries cannot afford it.

At present, only big companies like those in the Middle East can spend money to build large-scale nuclear power plants; now that they are actively coming to the door, they must keep people!

There are many Jews on the board of directors of Westinghouse Electric; even though they knew that building nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia and Iraq could make huge profits, they still tried their best to stop it!

Once the Arab countries in the Middle East master nuclear power technology and eventually develop nuclear weapons, it will be a serious threat to Israel. It’s okay not to make money, but it’s definitely not okay to harm the interests of Israel. It’s a matter of Jewish survival. Of course we need to take it seriously!

A Jewish director said very seriously: "Everyone, why do the Arabs want to build nuclear power plants? The ultimate goal is nothing more than to produce nuclear weapons."

"As a responsible company, Westinghouse Electric must not do anything to help others; therefore, I oppose the construction of nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and should directly reject the cooperation requests from the two countries!"

Hearing this, several Jewish directors on the scene began to echo; the meaning was obvious, they did not agree with Westinghouse Electric's cooperation with Arab countries!

We are all not fools, and of course we understand what kind of medicine the Jewish directors are selling! It’s not just about worrying about Israel and pretending to be self-interested; but sometimes we have to admit that Jews hold a high proportion of shares in major American companies. It was obvious that they could make money from the business, but because they blocked it, they ultimately benefited their competitors in vain.

Are the previous lessons not enough? If the Arabs don’t cooperate with Westinghouse Electric, they can’t look for other companies. I really don’t know what they are thinking in their heads!
