Chapter 452： busy bag richest man two

MacLehose's sudden enthusiasm when he left made Bao Zixuan a little unacceptable for a while, and he didn't say anything to make him so happy; hearing the news of his daughter-in-law's pregnancy was nothing but the same, and now he is increasingly unable to understand these politicians.

When I first came up, I wanted to crush you, but now I suddenly don't care about you anymore. It can be said that even the best actors are just like that, it seems that they are born performance artists.

After MacLehose left, he saw that Bao Zixuan had not left. It is estimated that I wanted to let myself go first to show respect, so I didn't think so much. It seems that this kid is not an arrogant person. He arrives early and leaves late, but the etiquette is already in place. At least he can't find any faults. What makes MacLehose a headache now is how to report to London. After all, both the Soviet Union and the military license are more troublesome.

Bao Zixuan stayed in the room for about 2 minutes before Michael Kadoorie walked in impatiently. As the owner of the hotel, he has to send the Governor personally. After all, he is living on the grounds of others. Even if the other party is about to resign, you can't be too cold, otherwise your competitors don't know how to arrange you!

After entering the room, Michael Kadoorie said with a smile, "I originally wanted to invite Bao Sheng to sit in the office, but I was afraid of delaying your time. So I wronged Bao Sheng. This time I really have something to ask for."

Bao Zixuan didn't know what Mikoto-Kadoorie would do to him. After all, the two had no business dealings. But it shouldn't be to borrow money from himself, after all, he hasn't reached that friendship yet, and there is no shortage of money at all.

Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Kadoorie, we are also old friends. If you have anything, please tell me directly. You should understand my character."

Of course Michael Kadoorie understood Bao Zixuan's character, otherwise he wouldn't be in a hurry. Although he did not study science and engineering, he knew that most of these science and engineering men were impatient.

Michael Kadoorie: "Bao Sheng, how much do you know about the situation in the Middle East?"

Hearing Michael Kadoorie actually ask about the Middle East topic; Bao Zixuan began to think of a major event happening in the Middle East, and Blackstone Fund also took advantage of this opportunity to start long oil, but the scale was not very large. After all, although the war has a great impact on the oil exports of the warring parties, other countries in the world, including the Soviet Union, have increased their oil production.

Bao Zixuan suddenly thought that although Michael Kadoorie was Jewish, he was also Iraqi. Although it may not be particularly patriotic, it is also his own motherland, and it is natural to be able to reach out to help, not to mention who has few friends in the country.

The Iran-Iraq War, which Iran calls the Iraq War of Invasion, the Holy War of Resistance, or the Iranian Revolutionary War, which Iraq calls Saddam's Qadisiya, is an 8-year border war between Iran and Iraq.

Both Iran and Iraq are geographically part of West Asia. In February 1979, the Iranian revolution was a success, and the Shiites, represented by the religious leader Khomeini, came to power. Iraq is the birthplace of the Shiites, and the anti-government forces among the Shiites, who account for 55% of the population, are active, making them the primary target for Iran to export revolution. Iraq is rich and strong, and actively seeks hegemony in the Gulf region, trying to attack the Khomeini regime when it is not stable, in order to eliminate the threats it faces and completely resolve the border disputes. Relations between the two countries have grown increasingly tense, and border conflicts have intensified. The war process can be divided into four stages.

The Iran-Iraq War broke out on September 22, 1980. In the first stage, Iraq launched a full-scale offensive, and Iran organized border defense and counter-offensive. In February 1982, Iran developed a counter-offensive momentum, and Iraq was beaten passively. Beginning in 1984, the two sides launched a ground tug-of-war, intensifying air and sea attacks. In the fourth stage, in 1988, Iraq regained control of the battlefield and invaded Iran again. On July 23, 1987 and July 18, 1988, Iraq and Iran each accepted UN ceasefire resolutions, but the two sides did not formally cease fighting until August 20, 1988.

Both Iraq and Iran suffered heavy losses in the war. In addition to conventional wars, during the war, they adopted means of attacking cities, ships, and oil fields to destroy the enemy's logistical and economic facilities.

Bao Zixuan suddenly thought that this might be an opportunity, although both countries suffered heavy losses in the war. However, both countries have huge oil reserves. If Iraq does not invade Kuwait in the end, then maybe the United States has no reason to attack Iraq. Although his own strength may not be so far-reaching now, but who knows what will happen in 8 years.

Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Kadoorie is talking about the ongoing war between Iran and Iraq."

Michael Kadoorie: "Bao Sheng really understands."

Bao Zixuan: "As far as I know, Mr. Kadoorie is of Iraqi nationality, but you should be Jewish!"

Michael Kadoorie: "Although I am Jewish, Lilac is also my homeland. And many people in the family are still doing business in Iraq, and some things are difficult to refuse."

Bao Zixuan actually admires the Jews. These people wandered for thousands of years and were severely persecuted during World War II. They almost disappeared from the world. But it is such a nation that has just laid a territory in the Middle East after the war, and the territory has become larger and larger after each war.

They are enemies in the Middle East, and they don't have a single friend. Not only are they enemies with the Arabs from generation to generation, but the Persians also have a deep festival with them. Now the Persians and the Arabs are at war, and Israel is the happiest country in the world. But then again, compared to Iran, Michael Kadoorie's heart is definitely on the Iraqi side.

Bao Zixuan: "Did Mr. Kadoorie flatter me too much? I still don't have the ability to join the war between the two countries! And even if I have the ability, I don't dare to join, it's no different from courting death. After all, we are all businessmen, and I I don't like politics, and I don't like war."

Michael Kadoorie: "Although Black Cloud Group's ground-effect vehicle is a means of transport on the surface, it is also a means of strategic transport, even without pretending to have any weapon system. A big killer, although I'm not an expert in military weapons, but I know a little bit about it from a young age."

Bao Zixuan: "So Mr. Kadoorie is going to buy ground effect aircraft on behalf of Iraq."

Michael Kadoorie: "I have this idea. If Bao Sheng is interested in this matter, we can talk about it."

Bao Zixuan: "It's not that I don't want to sell ground-effect aircraft, it's just that it's still in the test flight stage. There are still raw materials that need to be imported from the Soviet Union, and the UK has made it clear that the first two aircraft must be sold to the UK. You and I are doing business in Xiangjiang, Some things are not easy to refuse, and no one can make trouble for themselves for no reason."

Michael Kadoorie: "I heard that Bao Sheng bought a lot of used tanks and armored vehicles."

Bao Zixuan didn't know why he suddenly asked about this, but he answered truthfully, "Yes, I want to open a military museum."

Michael Kadoorie: "With the strength of the Black Cloud Group, we should be able to easily make these weapons into combat power!"

Bao Zixuan said angrily, "What does Mr. Kadoorie mean?"

Michael Kadoorie: "The Black Cloud Group has even produced a product as terrifying as a ground effect aircraft. It should be easy to modify some tanks!"

"You have a good relationship with the Soviets, and you have easy access to the mountains of used tanks and armored vehicles in their warehouses. I think we can cooperate, I have some connections in Iraq, and you have the strongest technology in your hands."

Bao Zixuan thought that this might be an opportunity, an opportunity to establish contact with Iraq. However, it is definitely not possible to do this in Xiangjiang. The place is too small for the British to find it easily.

Seeing Bao Zixuan's hesitation, Michael Kadoorie said, "We can put the modification site in Baghdad, and I will pay for all the expenses. You just need to send someone to give technical guidance. However, the early modification experiment requires Heiyun to come. Done, I think it should be easy for you."

"At the same time, you don't need to come forward. I know you are worried that the Iranians will retaliate. You only do technical guidance work, and you can wait for the money."

Hearing this made Bao Zixuan very moved, after all, this is simple for Heiyun. Moreover, he can also train his hands for the production of armored vehicles in the future. He has many tank technicians and engineers from Rheinmetall back then.

At the same time, this is a long-term business The battlefield consumes a lot. The Iran-Iraq war is still several years away, and the waste can also be put to good use. It's just that the risk is a bit big, and once you enter the military industry, it's hard to go back. But always looking ahead and looking back at the end can't do anything, isn't it just modifying the tank! Before, I was thinking about being sneaky, but now that I have this opportunity, why hesitate.

If you want to make the Black Cloud Group even greater, you must dare to take risks and try. He doesn't do this, and many others will.

Bao Zixuan: "It's not impossible to do this, it just depends on what you can get."

Hearing that there is a door, Michael Kadoorie felt that this kid was also ambitious. Regarding ground-effect aircraft, he knew that Iraq would be out of luck, at least in five years, and it would be relatively simple to refit tanks and armored vehicles.

Bao Zixuan: "We can't do it alone, and we can't put it in Iraq. You can set up a factory in Jordan, and I have a few partners there; if you let them join this thing, the chances of success will be higher."

Seeing Michael Kadoorie hesitating, Bao Zixuan knew that this old boy might be worried that he would bypass him to do this. So he smiled and said, "No matter what, Mr. Kadoorie will have a share of the shares. I am not the one who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge."
