v2 Chapter 586： royal gamble

Latest website: Prince Sultan's proposal passed unanimously, after all, this is the best way at the moment. This once again firmed up Crown Prince Abdullah's idea of ​​stepping aside, but he also knew that some things had to be done in advance. Since it has been decided that good people will do it to the end, it is more perfect to talk about giving way after all obstacles have been removed.

Crown Prince Abdullah: "Since it has been decided, then we need to negotiate with the Black Cloud Group. Although Saudi Arabia paid, but no Saudi Arabia or other countries are interested in these technologies. And I always feel that the Black Cloud Group is not without funds, I just don't want to take it out."

In fact, this question has been bothering him all the time, but it is difficult to say why Bao Zixuan did this and what the purpose is; it is estimated that only other people know.

Not only Crown Prince Abdullah, but also members of the Saudi royal family have this idea. If there is no money to borrow, no bank will refuse due to the revenue of Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan's personal charm. But this young rich man did not do this, what did he intend to do?

Fortunately, it is in favor of Saudi Arabia now, and everyone can only pretend not to know. Everyone has secrets, and it's not good to ask too much.

Prince Sultan hurriedly added: "His Royal Highness and I have reached an agreement with Bao Zixuan that Yulin Institute of Technology will establish a branch in Saudi Arabia. That is to say, Saudi Arabia will have one of the world's top science and technology institutions, and the scientific research projects involved will be research in it."

The school can only be guaranteed if it is built on Saudi soil, even if it costs a lot to get things done.

Hearing Prince Sultan finish speaking, the royal family felt that this was really a good idea. In the future, Saudi Arabia will not only have the top science and technology institutions, but also a guarantee for scientific research results. The research results are shared by both parties, and in Saudi Arabia, even Bao Zixuan cannot take it away. Heiyun Group is only a company in its power. It is much stronger than working with Americans. At least Saudi Arabia can still control one or two in terms of the right to speak.

King of Saudi Arabia: "Very good, you feel how much Saudi Arabia can take out."

Interests are now involved, and the distribution of profits to members of the royal family in the future is involved. It was Crown Prince Abdullah who first said: "Saudi Arabia can pay 30%-35% of the shares, I mean all projects."

"This is still under the circumstance that the Black Cloud Group does not make money. If Bao Zixuan agrees to pay the money, Saudi Arabia's share will be further reduced. You can take the approach of Aramco, although there are some losses in the early stage; but for a country, the future will be It's something to consider."

During the oil crisis of the 1970s, Aramco produced as much as 300 million tons of oil per year and managed to raise oil prices, thereby enhancing the Saudi government's position and putting it in a better position to fight against American companies. At the same time, the company started construction of the total natural gas system. In 1972, Aramco finally agreed to the Saudi government's shareholding request. In 1973, the Saudi government participated in 25% of Aramco's shares, which rose to 60% in 1974, and reached 100% in 1980. After the Saudi government acquired all the shares of Aramco, Aramco was still operated by four American companies according to the original lease agreement, and the American company was responsible for selling crude oil that the Saudi government could not sell.

After hearing the crown prince finish, everyone knows that this is the best way at present. Now that the shares of Aramco can be slowly recovered, it will be easier to recover the shares of technology companies held by the Black Cloud Group.

Even strong Americans will give in, not to mention the unfounded Bao Zixuan and Heiyun Group. The shares given in the early stage are not afraid of high, and they have the strength to repurchase the shares. Therefore, the crown prince's proposal was quickly passed, and the next step was how to negotiate.

King of Saudi Arabia: "No matter what happens, it's still Crown Prince Abdullah and Prince Sultan negotiating with Bao Zixuan. Just follow your plan and hope to get things done as soon as possible."

"At the same time, starting from next month, the monthly living expenses of the royal family will be reduced from US$3,000 to US$1,500. This is not for one person, but for all the children of the royal family. I hope everyone can overcome the difficulties and wait a few years for the royal family to have sufficient financial resources. Make up for everyone."

Although as a king, I dare not do too much. Even if it is only lowered by half, many people will be dissatisfied with him. If it is lowered by more, the royal children may cause trouble.

However, it will not work if it is not reduced, and the funds of the Saudi royal family will not be able to support it. Oil is very profitable, but for Saudi Arabia, only oil can make money.

Early the next morning, Crown Prince Abdullah and Prince Sultan came to the villa. Prince Sultan was disappointed to learn that nothing happened last night. Aisha is a beautiful woman. Is Bao Zixuan a man?

But now is not the time to talk about children's private affairs, let's finalize the project.

Bao Zixuan turned on the computer, and the project investment plan and data he sorted out last night appeared on the projector. Looking at the clear data report, Bao Zixuan's red eyes are combined. The two knew that this kid must have stayed up very late to finish writing, and he couldn't do anything with this work attitude.

Crown Prince Abdullah: "Mr. Bao's professionalism makes me admire. Saudi Arabia spends up to 30 billion US dollars every year. If there is more, it will affect domestic development. I hope to understand."

Bao Zixuan did not expect that Saudi Arabia would be willing to pay such a large amount of money. If it fails, Saudi Arabia, which is rich and rich, will be greatly affected. And every year with 30 billion US dollars, investment in other projects will inevitably decrease. In particular, U.S. Treasury bonds cannot be bought much.

Bao Zixuan: "$30 billion is not a small amount. I see the sincerity of Saudi Arabia. The Black Cloud Group will provide technology and equipment to launch these projects. Therefore, the issue of shares needs to be negotiated, and the brothers have to settle accounts."

Prince Sultan: "Yulin Institute of Technology will establish a branch in Saudi Arabia, which is also a prerequisite for cooperation."

Of course, Bao Zixuan understood what the Saudis meant, so he smiled and said, "No problem, Yulin Institute of Technology will establish various project laboratories in Saudi Arabia, and I hope the Saudi side will cooperate."

Crown Prince Abdullah: "There is no problem with these, and the Saudi side will do its best to meet the demands of the Black Cloud Group."

Bao Zixuan: "Heiyun Group needs to own 34% of the shares. I speak more directly; this is my bottom line, otherwise Heiyun will not come to invest without any right to speak."

In fact, Crown Prince Abdullah also knows what Bao Zixuan means, only if he has more than one-third of the shares, he has the right to speak. Otherwise, he will be bullied by major shareholders. This young man is not a master who will be slaughtered by others.

Crown Prince Abdullah said with a smile: "There is no problem, the Saudi side will eliminate the funds required for each project to invest. At the same time, we hope that the two sides will jointly establish a joint venture company, which must be registered in Saudi Arabia."

In this way, the largest company in Saudi Arabia was established in the future, and its scale even surpassed Saudi Aramco in the future. This is something that the Saudi royal family never dreamed of, but in the end, they still did not understand why Bao Zixuan chose Saudi Arabia.

The richest man Bao did not expect the Saudi side to be so happy. It seems that the negotiation efficiency with local tyrants is high. Although the high-level agreement has been reached, there are many things to do in the future. Then there is no need for them to come forward; their subordinates will manage the contract to bind the rights and obligations of both parties.

It can be said that this is a big gamble for Saudi Arabia, and everything can be said if the gamble is won. If the bet loses, Saudi Arabia is likely to be in trouble, and it is very difficult to get out of the predicament in a short time.

Americans are still waiting for Saudi Arabia to buy U.S. Treasuries, now to develop their own scientific research projects; there is still excess money to buy U.S. Treasuries. According to the arrogant and domineering nature of Americans, it is strange to give them a good look. It will inevitably affect the relationship with the United States and make so many years of hard work in vain.

The declining living standards of the Saudi royal family are sure to be dissatisfied. Now it's okay to say for the country's development, but once the project fails; they find that lowering the standard of living has not changed the Saudi economy, industry, and technology. Maybe they will rebel, who made so many members of the royal family, and everyone still has their own little ninety-nine in their hearts!

As the big brother in the Arab world, Saudi Arabia did not fully support Iraq at the most critical time of the Iran-Iraq war, but used most of its funds to develop its own industry and technology. Such a selfish boss can be convincing, and other Arab younger brothers will be obedient. These are all troublesome.

Even so, the royal family still chose to trust Bao Zixuan and Heiyun Group. This is too rare, and the richest man must be worthy of the trust of others.

Due to too many interests involved and the principle of confidentiality; the two sides did not hold a press conference. If the United States was told that Saudi Arabia invests so much every year, it would not immediately stand up against it.

At present, it is still necessary to keep it secret as much as possible. As for how long it can be concealed, no one can say. But being able to hide it for one more day is a victory, as long as the project is formed and trying to stop it, it will be difficult.
