Chapter 1030: 1 Everything is aligned with interests

For Nasser's proposal that the United States sell weapons to Saudi Arabia and at the same time sell them to Saudi Arabia's allies, Li Changheng refused without even thinking about it.

But the words were still out of his mouth, and he changed his words again, "Unless the countries you mentioned are willing to sign some kind of agreement with the United States, and F14 and warships must not."

Of course, Nasser understood Li Changheng's scruples, and to be honest, Nasser and his father were very conflicted at this time.

Everyone knows that the first person to take refuge in the past will of course get the best conditions.

The faster you can rely on them, the other countries in the Middle East will inevitably regard them as traitors when they look at Shater.

With all kinds of scruples, Nasser hoped to bring together a few countries with small land areas, such as Bahrain and Cartel, to stand up and agree to the conditions of the United States, so as to reduce the pressure on Shater.

However, no matter how small the land and national power of Bahrain and Qatar are, they are still independent and sovereign countries. It is not good for anyone who wants to help others bear the thunder and be a leader.

That's why Nasser proposed that while Shatter bought weapons, he also helped his younger brothers buy some weapons that could deter peepers.

After listening to Nasser's explanation, Li Changheng suddenly had other thoughts in his heart.

Even though Shater has become an important ally of the United States, this country ranks among the top three countries in the Middle East in terms of land area, and its oil reserves rank first in the world.

It can be said that while they need the United States, they also try their best to get rid of the influence of the United States and become the boss of the Middle East.

In other words, the lingering Shater is not the easiest key to break through.

On the contrary, Bahrain and Cartel, whose land is adjacent to Shater and faces Iran across the Persian Gulf, are not only in the Persian Gulf, but also have an extremely important strategic position.

The two countries will be more worried that they will be targeted by Iran and Shater at the same time in the special period when Iran and Shater are potential important allies of the United States.

Once the United States releases its intention to engage, Bahrain and Cartel will definitely agree to the conditions of the United States more easily than Sutter unless they obtain the full protection promise of Sutter.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng immediately contacted the two countries in private, and even thought about the possibility of establishing military bases in the two countries.

As long as you help the U.S. Navy get more correct military expenditures and help them get more bases, the bigwigs in the navy will definitely be ecstatic.

Li Changheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, and mentioned Bahrain and Qatar to Nasser, which instantly made Nasser frown and panic.

After thinking for a while, Nasser sighed and said, "Henry, are you really willing to help the United States fully control the desert countries?"

There is no need to think about this question. Of course, Li Changheng will not really wholeheartedly help the United States to expand abroad, "It depends on whether it is beneficial to me."

Hearing this, Nasser breathed a sigh of relief, "I will hold a banquet in Riad tonight. If you are free, can I introduce you to a few members of the royal family from other desert countries?"

As soon as Li Changheng heard it, he understood that Nasser was planning to win over several other wealthy countries and use his interests to win him over, so that he could secretly side with them on certain matters.

For Li Changheng, as long as the interests are sufficient, it is no problem to sell the interests of the United States.

The banquet at night described the luxury of the desert tyrants as prodigals.

Not to mention golden sports cars, golden seats, etc., even though Li Changheng's wealth is more than ten times that of Nasser, he is reluctant to let more than 200 servants serve only himself like him.

Compared with Nasser, the treatment of the three brothers and sisters of Anne is really not at the same level.

As for wanting to see and see whether the princesses are really as beautiful as the rumors, Li Changheng could only sigh silently in the end, he really thought too much.

Fortunately, during the banquet, he met a few new friends who were also princes, allowing him to get more than 500 million U.S. dollars in escrow funds with an annual interest rate of 6%.

Of course, this is just an appetizer, and Li Changheng really lacks the cash that can be used clearly at this time, so he agrees to help people manage funds.

And the annual interest rate of 6%, not to mention Li Changheng himself, even an experienced Wall Street fund manager would dare to take over this fund.

The only difference is that the fame and reputation of any fund manager is vastly different from that of Li Changheng.

In addition, there is also the precedent of Nasser's successful investment, and the princes are of course more at ease.

As for the soaring price of Kanal Oilfield from 100 million US dollars to 500 million US dollars, it is Shater who really suffers.

The 15% stake in Belford Investment Company held by Nasser is actually 150 million US dollars.

At the beginning, Nasser only invested less than 10 million US dollars.

Not to mention that there are not dozens of princes in any Middle Eastern country, but hundreds or thousands of princes.

No matter how rich the royal family is, it doesn't really belong to them.

On the contrary, someone like Nasser, who is worth hundreds of millions, will live a very comfortable life in the future even if he cannot inherit the throne, and he will be able to obtain a high enough position and greater freedom.

It wasn't until after 11 o'clock in the evening, after they had almost tested each other, that the topic officially entered the topic.

To Li Changheng's surprise, he thought the princes around him were nothing more than mouthpieces.

Unexpectedly, these guys not only personally went to the venue to negotiate the price of a weapon order worth more than 1.7 billion U.S. dollars, but also directly agreed to the condition of a 30% down payment after haggling.

Moreover, Nasser and others are very interested in the "Apache" helicopter gunship that Li Changheng mentioned casually, which is still in the experimental stage.

He actually offered to invest 1 billion U.S. dollars in research and development expenses for Grumman, and the condition is that Apache will leave half of the production line to the United States after it is officially put into production.

The other output is calculated at a total price of 1 billion US dollars, all of which are sold to several desert countries in kind of Apache.

Li Changheng is of course willing to agree to this condition~lightnovelpub.net~ but he also knows that it is impossible for Mi Guowomen to be sold to countries other than Mi Guo just after the Apache is handed over to the military.

Then he talked about the issue of Citigroup as a bank for settlement of funds outside the country as many desert countries.

On the premise that no specific amount is involved, this matter is easy to negotiate. After all, Li Changheng's 1.7 billion US dollars in weapons orders seems to be in the hands of local tyrants.

But Nasser and others understand better that they really need new weapons to fight Israel, but to a large extent, the 1.7 billion is not only a way to show favor to Li Changheng, but also a means to test the United States.

Li Changheng, who basically achieved his goal, boarded his private jet and flew directly to Washington DC the next day.

As soon as the plane landed at the airport, Li Changheng, who had been informed a long time ago, saw through the window that there were more than a hundred greeters and reporters waiting near the tarmac.

Even though I have seen many big scenes in these years, there is still tension and excitement in my heart.
