v2 Chapter 1108： US-Saudi relationship

The latest website: With the Kuwaiti thanks a lot, and at the same time earning more than 10 billion US dollars in profits from the other party, the richest man came to Saudi Arabia. For this trip to Kuwait, although it took a little longer, it was definitely worth the money. At least the originally tight funds have been eased.

Later Internet companies and other investment companies have hundreds or hundreds of billions of dollars in capital reserves on their books. Originally, Heiyun Group should have more capital reserves, but who has such a tossing boss? Make more money, spend more. If it is not for the cash flow to keep up, the previous foundation is too good, and there will definitely be major problems.

As the business grows, the cash flow still needs to be guaranteed. At least you can't put your own destiny in the hands of others, that's not taking risks, but playing with fire. If the United States and Europe impose sanctions, it will be too late to regret it.

Bao Zixuan understands that the Black Cloud Group's trip to Kuwait has made a lot of money. But it has also brought serious hidden dangers, making the U.S. government and U.S. companies realize the power and horror of the black cloud. The world understands that trade between Kuwait and the Soviet Union alone cannot be so rapid.

The Americans are quite aware of the state of the Soviet Union now. How could officials at all levels work so hard if they didn't get the benefits. If it was just an order, it would definitely be delayed for some time. At least it can give the United States a time to prepare, but it is because of the participation of the Black Cloud Group. Everyone involved in this arms transaction can benefit, and they are not working hard.

According to intelligence, Kuwait had limited trade with the Soviet Union before. The Soviet Union mainly exports energy, metals, minerals, weapons and equipment; Kuwait does not need energy and metals. As for arms, most of them are American-style equipment, and French weapons are few.

The country mainly imports agricultural products, and the Soviet Union's grain output is good enough to satisfy its own people, but it is still time to catch up with the harvest year. As for exporting food, don't even think about it. It is no wonder that the two countries, which had almost no trade exchanges before, suddenly traded nearly $2 billion in weapons and equipment.

Americans will definitely investigate, and now we can only see what tricks the other party has. If you want to counterattack, you don't have that chance, at least you don't have the ability to take the initiative to attack.

Prince Sultan and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia came to greet them in person. It was not that the king did not come, but that he was not feeling well. Not only is it true or false, but there is nothing wrong with this combination. Saudi No. 2 and No. 3 personally greeted him at the airport. Not all businessmen were treated this way. It may not necessarily be the head of a country, but of course it refers to a small country.

After the official words were spoken, Prince Sultan became more familiar with Bao Zixuan and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to stay in Kuwait for so long. If you don't come again, I will go over and bring you back. It seems that Jaber is the real deal. I'm reluctant to let you go, but what I did this time was really beautiful, and it exceeded everyone's expectations."

Saudi Arabia is also very upset with the United States, at least some things are not done to their satisfaction.

In the 1970s, the United States, which believed in liberalism, concluded an alliance with Saudi Arabia, which believed in *** culture. As a result, the two countries entered a sweet period of ten years.

From the perspective of state form and national beliefs, the two countries are fundamentally irrelevant, and their alliance with each other appears to be nondescript. Why do you say this: We all know that the United States takes Western democracy as its political model, advocates liberalism, and is more liberal and open in culture. Most importantly, the United States has always respected his value system, and used this as an excuse to make a Many fields slammed his rivals.

But such a country that advertises freedom and democracy would actually abandon its own beliefs and choose to form an alliance with Saudi Arabia because of its own interests. It is really funny.

Why do you say that? As we all know, the national characteristics of Saudi Arabia are completely different from the United States. Politically, Saudi Arabia is still ruled by an extremely backward feudal monarchy; culturally, the country is extremely closed and conservative, and the country and its people believe in primitive states. *** culture. Compared with American liberalism, these are two completely different forms, and even from a certain level: these are two completely opposite countries, and it is thankful that there is no conflict between them. To put it bluntly, the alliance between Saudi Arabia and the United States is completely driven by interests.

Of course, if those secular concepts are abandoned and only from the perspective of interests, it is not unreasonable for Saudi Arabia to be targeted by the United States. Due to many reasons such as the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union and the war against Vietnam, the prestige of the United States has been reduced, its national strength has been damaged, and its influence worldwide has been reduced, which seriously threatens the status of the US dollar as the world's first currency in circulation. Coupled with the domestic economic depression in the United States, the United States must find other ways to stabilize its world hegemony.

From this point of view, the United States has to find alternatives to stabilize the dollar system. The gold reserve itself can also stabilize the monetary system, but the circulation of gold is too small to have an obvious effect on the dollar. And oil, known as the blood of the industry, has become the best choice in the United States.

Now that oil is chosen, it must fully control the international crude oil market. Although there are many oil fields in the United States, they are nothing compared to the Persian Gulf. The oil output of the Persian Gulf is not only high in output, but also the crude oil trading volume in the Persian Gulf is the highest in the world. Therefore, controlling the Persian Gulf can effectively influence oil transactions. In the face of practical interests, the so-called universal values ​​of the United States are simply not worth mentioning. Saudi Arabia is the most important country in the oil production of the Persian Gulf, and the state power is firmly controlled by the royal power. The United States and Saudi Arabia have signed an alliance to jointly create a new oil trade, and to control the world's finance through dollar transactions has become the best choice for the United States.

Weakening the Soviet Union in order to fulfill its alliance obligations with the United States. Saudi Arabia has been driving down oil prices throughout the 1970s and 1980s. For nearly 10 years, Saudi Arabia's oil revenue can only be about half of the original period, which has caused heavy losses to Saudi Arabia, which has a single industry.

It is precisely because of the establishment of the petrodollar system that the dollar has become the world currency. However, while the United States has benefited, the Arab countries in the Middle East have received nothing. In terms of weapons and equipment, even if Saudi Arabia has money, it is useless. Israel is a hard-core ally. As for the Arab countries, it must be a lot worse.

Kuwait used to be in a situation where there were no desires and no desires, selling oil to make a fortune. But as the wealth increases, there will inevitably be panic in the heart. The military personnel are already small, and of course they want to have access to the most advanced weapons and equipment. Not only does it make the military, nationals, and royal family more confident in the country; it is also a deterrent to neighboring countries. But the Americans don't sell anything, and they don't even need to pay more.

I didn't expect that the Soviet Union would give so much face by contacting Bao Zixuan through Heiyun Group. The weapons and equipment were directly drawn from the active troops and inventory, and delivered immediately.

The world buys advanced weapons, especially Air Force fighter jets; that does not require waiting in line, and some spans more than ten years. Arab countries buy weapons and equipment from the United States, even more so. The first **** allies are definitely the UK and Israel; then Japan and South Korea. In the second place are other NATO countries; in the hands of Arab countries, it is estimated that other countries have already formed combat effectiveness. What's more, the weapons and equipment are simplified versions. Not to mention compared with the domestic air force, it is inferior to other foreign products. But the price is not cheap at all, probably the most expensive in the world.

The world is integrated, and the Arab countries are ignorant and know what is going on. There was really no way before, and had to be slaughtered a few times by the Americans.

The emergence of the Black Cloud Group can be said to be gradually easing this situation. And the Soviets have come, and the sandpipers and clams are fighting, and they profit. At least there is competition, and the price can definitely be cheaper; no one wants to be the big fool all the time. And no one dared to fool things with inferior products, which was something that I never dared to think about before.

Bringing such huge benefits to the Arab countries in the Middle East Bao Zixuan, a friend who is definitely worth interacting with, is why Prince Sultan said this.

Bao Zixuan: "Don't say that. I'm just giving some suggestions. The specific transaction is the result of their negotiation. To maintain stability and peace, fair trade is very important."

"The countries in the Middle East only have oil, which is a gift from God to you. But in the past few thousand years, people in the Middle East lived very hard. Now the conditions are better and it is normal, at least it proves that they have not been abandoned."

"If you spend high prices, you should get better products and more considerate services. Why can't the people who spend the most don't get the best products; there's no such thing in the world."

"The product pricing of Heiyun Group is like this, and it can also be said to be the business philosophy of the company."

"Kuwait agrees to increase the money, so if the quality of the product is the same; speed becomes very important, otherwise there is no point in increasing the money."

The words of Bao Zixuan were very recognized by the Saudi Crown Prince and Prince Sultan. This is the company they hope to cooperate with, at least it will not deceive people.
