Resource Tycoon Reborn

But the two of them felt that since Fang Mingyuan had spoken, how could he say nothing? This was not in line with his usual style! Could it be that there was something in it that they had not thought of?

The two of them frowned in unison - could it be said that the Chinese government also intends to intervene in Middle East affairs? It can be said that the five permanent members of the United Nations, except China, are all developed countries. And they all have their own influence in the modern Middle East.

A certain amount of influence, the only difference is size and time. Only China, although it is a permanent member of the Security Council, does not have much say in Middle East affairs.

However, with China's reform and opening up in recent years, its economic strength has been significantly enhanced. Especially after the outbreak of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, China's economic strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Moreover, China's demand for oil in the Middle East is also growing rapidly.

It only took China a few short years to transform from an oil exporting country to an oil importing country, and then to become the world's major oil importing country!

Today, China imported 27.8 million tons of crude oil last year, worth more than 3 billion U.S. dollars, of which crude oil from the Middle East accounts for more than 60%! In the foreseeable future, China’s crude oil imports will

I am afraid that the number will continue to increase. In this case... it is reasonable for the Chinese government to intend to intervene in Middle East affairs to ensure its influence in the Middle East and thereby ensure the security of energy supply.

Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktoum couldn't help but suddenly realized that Fang Mingyuan was clearly suggesting that they deepen their ties with the Chinese government, establish a closer relationship, and then use China's influence to compete with the Americans! Thinking of the current situation of the Su family,

Given China's status and prospects in the political arena, it is not surprising that Fang Mingyuan would make such a suggestion. In any country, after a company develops to a certain level, it will have a close relationship with the government.

However, the two of them immediately frowned. Compared with the United States, China's influence in the Middle East is really insignificant. Not to mention its military presence, its political influence is very limited. Once something happens, apart from protests and condemnation,

Apart from that, there are no other effective means! And if protests and condemnations are really effective, why do countries around the world keep their armies? What can't be done with the huge military expenditures every year? Military warfare is certainly the way to subjugate a country, but blindly

It is also necessary to be patient and tolerant!

Maybe... there was something behind Fang Mingyuan's words that he hadn't thought of?

Fang Mingyuan looked at the two people sitting there, sometimes knitting his brows, sometimes relaxing them, sighing from time to time, and feeling a little surprised in his heart.

Did he hear any useful information? Naturally, he could not imagine how many thoughts Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktoum had changed at this moment.

Fang Mingyuan also had no choice but to do this. In today's international situation, the dominance of the American family will definitely last for a long time, and the subsequent September 11th incident gave the Americans the ultimate opportunity to go crazy.

The good excuse allowed it to enter the Middle East and Central Asia in a large scale. Before his death in his previous life, it was still very difficult to truly suppress the arrogance of the Americans.

Therefore, when the two of them asked him for advice, how could he know what the outcome of the United States in the Middle East would be like in the future? So now he can only use these words to prevaricate the two of them. But looking at the two of them now, they are

It seems like something has been gained?

It's just that although he was confused, he was not stupid enough to ask Abdullah and Maktoum, so he just sat on the sofa with a calm face and looked out the window at the sea view and Dubai street view.

After a long while, Prince Maktoum and Prince Abdullah finally woke up from their "crazy thoughts". They looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"Ahem! Dear Fang, I heard that you have a construction company in China that is qualified to build highways?" Prince Maktoum coughed lightly.

"Well, yes." Fang Mingyuan nodded.

"Can we build a subway?" Prince Maktoum continued.

"Subway? That's okay!" Fang Mingyuan hesitated and said. What does this person want to do?

"Half a month ago, our government just reached two consensuses, which is to build four subway lines in Dubai in the future and to build a highway connecting Abu Dhabi to Dubai to alleviate the current traffic congestion situation." Mark

Prince Tumu smiled and said, "How about it? Are you interested?"

"Four subway lines and one expressway?" Fang Mingyuan laughed. Dubai is really rich, and they build it whenever they want.

"I have to go back and ask. Your Highnesses, as you know, Tongyi is now in a critical period of construction. A large number of projects have been launched. I don't know if Longxing Construction Group still has a free engineering team." Fang Ming

A long way. Although the project given by Prince Maktoum must be rich in oil and water, he really didn't know whether Longxing Construction Group could spare the manpower.

Prince Maktoum waved his hand and said: "These two projects are still some time away from being officially launched. Fang, you don't have to worry."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!" Fang Mingyuan said with a knowing smile. Prince Maktoum's meaning was already very clear. As long as he has the qualifications, this job will be left to Longxing Construction Group. As for Longxing Construction Group's term

He doesn't care whether the site sends its own construction team or subcontracts it to other Chinese companies, as long as the quality is guaranteed. As the crown prince of the emirate of Dubai, not to mention that he is now famous in the Middle East and even the world.

When things go up, even this little bit of power in the past means nothing.

"Fang, our country plans to further develop the Firouzul Oilfield in the near future and strive to increase the daily oil production of the Firouzul Oilfield from the current 30,000 barrels to 200,000 barrels within four years. The total investment is initially estimated

It will be between US$2 billion and US$3 billion. I wonder, Fang, are you interested in taking a stake?" Prince Abdullah smiled.

"Ah? Can I also take a shareholding?" Fang Mingyuan said with some surprise. The Firuzul Oil Field is a large oil field located on the border of Kuwait that has a certain dispute with Iraq. It is precisely because of the dispute with Iraq and the dense oil fields in Kuwait that

Therefore, since this oil field was explored, it has only been initially developed and then shelved. This can be seen from its daily output of only 30,000 barrels. Now, the Kuwaiti government has decided to further develop the Firuzul Oil Field.

, there is nothing surprising. After all, the reconstruction of Kuwait and the payment of military expenses for the US military garrison have caused the Kuwaiti royal family's overseas assets to shrink significantly. The international market price of crude oil has now clearly entered an upward channel. This is undoubtedly the result of the Kuwaiti royal family increasing oil exports and accumulating savings.

A good opportunity to make a fortune. But Fang Mingyuan never expected that Prince Abdullah would actually offer to let him participate in the stock. You know, among these countries in the Middle East, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have never allowed foreign oil companies to enter their own oil fields. Otherwise, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have never allowed foreign oil companies to enter their oil fields.

If so, the oil field shares given to Fang Mingyuan by the Kuwaiti royal family would not have been kept secret.

"Of course! Fang, you are a close brother of our Kuwaiti royal family!" Prince Abdullah smiled, "Arabs will not easily forget the kindness of brothers!" His words can be said to be half true and half false, although there is Kuwait.

The royal family has not forgotten the helping hand that the Fang family extended to them in their most difficult time, and also has the idea of ​​​​tying the Fang family further with the Kuwaiti royal family. As a friend of Fang Mingyuan, Prince Abdullah naturally knows more than ordinary people.

People know better.

Regarding the development of the Fang family over the years, the Kuwaiti royal family has also seen it in their eyes and kept it in their hearts. For the Fang family, which has such a bright development prospect and has amazing influence in China, the United States, and Japan, the Kuwaiti royal family naturally hopes to have further cooperation.

.The use of foreign companies to develop the Firuzul oil field was originally the result of the Kuwaiti government out of political and security considerations, using the project to tie Kuwait’s national security to the interests of major powers. In this way, the Kuwaiti government can start from developing Firuzul.

He made profits in the oil fields and at the same time found supportive allies for himself.

"It's a pity, Fang, that you only have a petrochemical refinery and no exploration and development company in your name. Otherwise, you can also participate in the in-depth development plan of the oil fields in northern my country." Prince Abdullah sighed.

"The deep development plan of the northern oil field? What is that?" Fang Mingyuan asked curiously.

Prince Abdullah said: “Our government formulated a petroleum development strategy in 1997 and hopes that our country’s crude oil production capacity will reach 2.5 million barrels per day by next year and by 2005.

, with a daily output of three million barrels. The development of the Firuzul oil field and the implementation of the deep development plan of the northern oil field are all aimed at achieving this goal..."

It turns out that because crude oil in Kuwait is easy to exploit, although Kuwait’s oil development history has been as long as half a century, the controllable development technology of Kuwait External Petroleum Exploration Company is still stuck in the oil fields that are easy to drill, which is a relatively primitive stage.

The northern oil fields that Prince Abdullah mentioned are old oil fields that have been exploited for many years, and their daily oil production capacity is declining year by year. This does not mean that the oil reserves in the oil fields are no longer enough to support it, but that based on Kuwait’s current mining conditions

Technology, that is, the traditional oil production method - self-injection or water injection technology, the maximum oil production does not exceed 35% of the reserves, and it is no longer possible to easily extract crude oil from the underground. Therefore, the Kuwait government launched this plan

, intends to use the advanced technology of foreign oil companies to improve oil production capabilities and rejuvenate old oil fields.

Although, as a result, the cost of oil extraction will inevitably increase, the rising price of crude oil in the international market has given strong support to the Kuwaiti government. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better
