Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

The original plan was to leave Qatar tomorrow and go to Fucaira. But Hamad had already received the funds, and Bao Zixuan’s plan was indeed feasible. Therefore, he was not allowed to leave at all. Considering that Qatar is also a big business, it was okay.

After making a lot of money from the other party, Bao Shaofu decided to stay a few more days.

It is not easy to get funds from my father. If you do not make good use of it, you will waste this opportunity. Many things need to be discussed with the second princess. After all, in the field of business, this wife is absolutely

Much better than him.

Therefore, when the second princess proposed the pearl mining industry and the field of pearl deep processing and they wanted to do it themselves, Hamad expressed his full support. However, other projects are not that simple. After all, this is state funds; although as the crown prince, But

There are too many people watching him. His father asked him to take responsibility, but it is probably impossible to truly delegate power.

Hamad said to Moza: "I just asked the Finance Minister about the plan to purchase US$4.5 billion in US Treasury bonds. But now this money has been decided to be used for the development and construction of Qatar, which means it will be allocated to us.

"

Unlike Hamad who was so optimistic, Moza was a little worried at this time; does Qatar have the strength to reject the United States?

Princess Moza said worriedly: "If it's this amount of money, we really can't be too optimistic. After all, it's still unclear whether we can get it in the end."

Hearing what the princess said, Hamad immediately realized what the problem was.

You must know that the United States and Qatar have extensive energy cooperation; this is also an important practical interest of the United States in Qatar. Qatar is an important oil and gas resource country in the world. Although Qatar’s oil reserves are not large, its average daily output ranks third in the Middle East.

14 bits.

However, Qatar is extremely rich in natural gas resources, with proven recoverable reserves of 25.26 trillion cubic meters, accounting for 20% of the world's reserves, ranking third in the world after the Soviet Union and Iran.

Especially as the world's demand for clean energy continues to increase and oil prices remain high, the proportion of natural gas in energy consumption in various countries is growing. According to the International Energy Agency's forecast, natural gas will account for 10% of the world's total energy consumption in 50 years.

The proportion will reach 25%. This is a huge opportunity facing Qatar’s energy industry; it also makes the US government and the energy industry attach great importance to Qatar’s strategic position.

The United States entered Qatar's natural gas industry earlier and has been operating at full strength, thus establishing a close cooperative relationship. It has a dominant position in Qatar's energy development and production. The United States' investment in Qatar has increased from the initial US$300 million.

Tens of billions of dollars; most of which is invested in the energy field. Therefore, the United States occupies a major position in the development and production of liquefied natural gas in Qatar.

In the oil field, American energy companies are also actively involved. As early as the early 20th century, Chevron and the California Petroleum Company of the United States played a major role in the development. After the discovery of oil in Qatar in the late 1930s, the United States began to develop in Qatar.

oil industry; established the Dukhan oil field and offshore oil fields. Even though it was later nationalized by Qatar, the United States continued to invest in Qatar's petrochemical industry.

Overall, the strategic relationship between the United States and Qatar is based on defense cooperation and continues to strengthen the intensity of bilateral relations through the extensive development of regional security and energy cooperation. Although there are conflicts and frictions between the United States and Qatar, the strategic cooperation mechanism between the two countries has formed a considerable

scale; and both parties can gain a lot of benefits from it. As far as the United States is concerned, the United States attaches great importance to its security partner and important national status of energy resources with Qatar; it does not want the strategic cooperation between the two parties to be affected.

For Qatar, maintaining and developing strategic cooperative relations with the United States is a practical need for Qatar's national interests. In particular, the U.S. military base is like a "talisman" and a security guarantee for Qatar in the complex situation in the Middle East.

Now if they suddenly stop buying U.S. Treasury bonds, then Americans can agree; I had not thought of this relationship before, but now through the princess’ reminder, I immediately understood the powerful relationship.

Hamad: "What you mean is that this money is not so easy to use; at least the consent of the Americans must be obtained."

But when I thought about it, Americans would definitely not agree. Seeing that billions of dollars, although it was also their own money, could not be used according to their own ideas, it made me feel very uncomfortable.

Moza: "Actually, it's not that it can't be used. It just depends on how you use it. Although I don't want to do it, sometimes there is no way."

"You can use previous U.S. Treasury bonds as collateral. Use U.S. Treasury bonds as collateral to get a loan from a U.S. bank and see what Bank of America does. If they don't accept it, then we have reason to believe that U.S. Treasury bonds are a tool to deceive people."

"If they take over, they will lose some interest at most. It should be within an affordable range, and with Qatar's economic strength, there is no problem at all in repaying the interest."

It’s great to have a smart and capable wife!

In fact, Khalifa doesn't really agree with his son's behavior, but he can't dampen his enthusiasm. Therefore, he can only use this method to see if he has the ability to convince the Americans. If he doesn't agree, he can come out to smooth things over. In the end

If you give me some money casually, you probably won't be able to make any difference.

Most of the funds will definitely be used to purchase government bonds, and it doesn't matter what else.

Hamad immediately called his father and stated that he only needed part of the funds to purchase U.S. Treasury bonds. After all, this was something he had promised before, and it was not good to offend the Americans. I believe he can account for the US$25 billion.

.

"But I hope to get US$5 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds, mainly to show it to Bao Zixuan; or I can use these to mortgage others."

After hearing this, Khalifa thought for a moment and then readily agreed.

This guy must have come to his senses and knew that some of the money could not be used. But he didn't want Heiyun to see that he was a crown prince without money, so he decided to make a fuss about US Treasury bonds.

Qatar holds a total of more than 40 billion US Treasury bonds. Since he wants to take out 5 billion US Treasury bonds, then let him go. And it has been stated that it can only be mortgaged and cannot be liquidated. As long as it is under control, wait until a certain number of years.

Just redeem it.

Hamad, who received US$2 billion in cash and US$5 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds, found Bao Zixuan early the next morning and said that Qatar would build desalination plants, power plants, and agricultural projects, and build a national road network. If the Heiyun Group

If you are interested, you can leave it to Bao Zixuan.

We must cut through the mess quickly, otherwise my father will react and all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Hearing this, Bao Shoufu felt incredible; how could such a big move happen all of a sudden? Could there be something hidden inside, and he was a little hesitant at this time whether he should participate in it or not.

Seeing Bao Zixuan's doubts, Hamad immediately said: "My father didn't want to invest so much, but I feel that if I want to do it, I have to do it in one step. At present, I can take out 2 billion US dollars in cash, and I am also prepared to take 5 billion US dollars."

U.S. dollar U.S. Treasury bonds for mortgage loans.

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan immediately understood what it meant. It seemed that it could really be operated, so he said with a smile: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so sincere, what if Heiyun Group takes over this business."

"Engineers will come over later to survey, and professional designers will plan all projects. As for Qatar, as long as funds are prepared, it will be fine; in other aspects, Heiyun Group can definitely guarantee it."

For Saudi Arabia, there may not be enough Chinese workers. But Qatar is such a big place, and Qian Zixuan doesn’t want to let it go. Moreover, there are still US$5 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds to control; then for him, the room for maneuver becomes

bigger.

Khalifa was very interesting. The next day he went to Europe for a vacation as planned. This made Hamad very happy, at least he didn't have to be watched when doing things.

Several major Wall Street banks have branches in Qatar. When I learned that the crown prince wanted to use U.S. Treasury bonds as collateral, I immediately understood what he meant. This was a sign of lack of funds, and at the same time, he did not dare to offend the U.S. government.

For the same 10 billion U.S. dollars, the income from purchasing U.S. Treasury bonds may be less than 300 million U.S. dollars per year; but the loan has to pay 500 million U.S. dollars in interest. In other words, 200 million U.S. dollars are lost for no reason, and that’s every year. For such a good thing,

But I can't find it even if I hold up a lantern. Isn't this a disguised gift of money to the Americans?

Therefore, the loan was approved quickly, but according to the process, it was only a loan of 4.5 billion US dollars. After all, they also had to bear risks, although this risk was almost non-existent.
