Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

The conversation in the Presidential Building continues!

Prince Abdullah was also confused by Zhou Yang's operation. It seems that this is not how business is done!

He has also dealt with people from Thieving Eagle and Furry Bear, and the other party sometimes gives suggestions according to their needs, but the result of the suggestions is often that they spend more money.

But something didn't seem right this week. After all, a few sets of synthetic brigade equipment only cost a few dollars, and even buying 10 more sets would cost $80 billion.

The total price of 50 Dongfeng missiles is as high as 110 billion U.S. dollars. How can anyone suggest that buyers spend less, unless...unless the other party really treats me as a friend!

As if he understood the "truth" of the matter, Abdullah looked at Zhou Yang with a look that was a little more gratified, a little grateful, and a little hot. Zhou Yang looked a little confused and a little guilty.

"Zhou, thank you for treating me as a friend, but you don't have to save money for us. You know, we are not short of money!" Abdullah said.

Zhou Yang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said immediately: "Your Highness, I know you are not short of money, but I still think it is more cost-effective for you to order conventional weapons. This may even affect your country's national destiny!"

"National...national destiny?"

"Yes, you may not believe it when I say this, then please allow me to analyze it for you!" Zhou Yang said.

"you say!"

"Your Highness, your country's current economic development is indeed good, but have you ever thought about it. Your country's economic structure is too simple. To put it bluntly, the engine of your country's economic growth is almost entirely dependent on oil. In addition to oil, "It seems that your country no longer has any resources and industries that can be used. Do you agree with what I say?" Zhou Yang said.

Abdullah frowned. Although these words made him uncomfortable, he also knew that Zhou Yang was telling the truth.

After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "I agree, keep talking!"

"Your Highness, have you ever thought about what would happen to your country if one day your country's oil no longer continues to create wealth for your country like it does now?" Zhou Yang said again in a shocking tone.

Abdullah was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Zhou, you are the blood of industry. Any country that wants to industrialize and become a powerful country cannot do without oil, and our oil reserves and production are all Number one in the world, how could..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang interrupted him and said: "Your Highness, there is an old saying in our country, which is: "No matter how big the country is, if it is warlike, it will perish; although the world is safe, if it forgets to fight, it will be in danger." We call it Be prepared for danger in times of peace.”

"Judging from the current situation, your country's oil economy is indeed booming and there is no sign of decline, but you have not seen that the world situation has undergone major changes, and these changes will impact your country's economic security, and the crisis will In front of you."

"Zhou, I still don't know exactly what changes in the situation and crises you mentioned!" Abdullah said.

Zhou Yang said calmly: "Your country will face two major crises in the future. The first is the structural crisis caused by the energy technology revolution. That is to say, with the development of science and technology, energy will no longer be based on availability... "

Before he finished speaking, Abdullah stared and said, "You mean that oil will be replaced by other energy sources?"

"Yes, such as electric energy, nuclear energy, hydrogen energy, etc.!"

"This...this is impossible..."

"Your Highness, there is nothing impossible about this. To tell you the truth, many countries are now researching new energy sources. As far as I know, the little country across the sea from us is focusing on the research and development of hydrogen energy, while we are focusing on the research and development of hydrogen energy. Electric energy has been vigorously developed and applied, and certain results have been achieved!"

Then Zhou Yang continued: "I can tell you responsibly that in 15 to 20 years at most, new energy cars, trains, and trucks driven by electric energy will appear on the streets. By then, oil will no longer be the only energy."

"Zhou, what you said is true. Are you really conducting research on new energy?" Abdullah said with a trembling voice.

"Your Highness, there is no need for me to lie to you. If you don't believe it, I can take you to our research and development institution." Zhou Yang said.

"Is this...is this really okay?"

"It's definitely not allowed for others, but we really regard you and the big investors as friends. I can apply to my superiors at any time as long as you are willing!" Zhou Yang said.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you about this!"

Then Abdullah said again: "Zhou, you just said that our oil economy will face other crises and challenges. What are they?"

"It is a crisis caused by the cyclical adjustment of international oil prices. Once oil is no longer the only energy source, its importance will be greatly reduced, and oil prices will inevitably fall. This will also threaten the smooth operation of your country's economy. When the time comes, your country will implement The "welfare-for-stability" model is difficult to maintain!" Zhou Yang said.

"Zhou...how should we solve these problems between you?" Abdullah said.

"Achieve industrial diversification and economic transformation and upgrading!"

Seeing Abdullah's confused look, Zhou Yang knew that His Highness the Prince did not understand, and immediately explained: "What I mean is that your country cannot bet all its bets on oil. Before the oil economy encounters major problems, we should adjust the economic model in a timely manner and achieve diversified development of the industry."

Abdullah frowned and said, "You just said that apart from oil, our country really has no other industries that we can produce. How can we adjust the economic model and achieve the diversified development you mentioned?"

“We don’t have it now, but we can create a whole new industrial chain!”

"???"

"Your Highness, although your country has no other resources and industries except oil, your country is famous all over the world for its wealth. It is the country that many people are most eager to explore. You can definitely use this as an opportunity. , vigorously develop tourism.”

Zhou Yang finally used his ultimate move!

"Tourism?"

"Yes, your country's future will no longer be dominated by oil. Tourism will definitely be the new engine of your country's economic development. By then, millions or tens of millions of travel enthusiasts from all over the world will flock to your country, and the resulting The income will be astronomical!"

But at this moment, Zhou Yang changed his voice and said again: "But if you want to develop tourism, there must be a prerequisite!"

"What premise?"

“Safe environment, good security!”

Then Zhou Yang continued: "No one wants to lose their life just by going out for fun. No matter how attractive a place like this is, no one will go."

"So, based on the current situation of your country, it is best to purchase a batch of conventional weapons first to increase the combat effectiveness of the domestic regular troops, so that people all over the world can see your country's powerful armed forces and neat military appearance. I I think this is more urgent than buying dozens of missiles!”

After hearing Zhou Yang's words, Abdullah fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said: "Zhou, what you said is indeed worth pondering and has given me a lot of inspiration, but there is one thing I don't agree with!"

"Which point?" Zhou Yang asked curiously.

"You think conventional weapons are more cost-effective than missiles, but I think we need both, why can't we buy them together?" Abdullah said.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang suddenly felt happy.

Sure enough, this is the correct way for rich people to open up.

He had laid the groundwork before. He didn’t really want Abdullah to buy conventional weapons, but he wanted to tell him that you not only need Dongfeng missiles as a strategic deterrent, but also conventional weapons to enhance the strength of front-line troops. combat effectiveness.

Of course, if it is a country like Siludamu or Persia, it will definitely have to be entangled, whether to use missiles or to combine the equipment of the brigade.

But for wealthy people like the rich who are poor and have only money left, what the hell is it that they can't have their cake and eat it too? Only the poor make choices. I, the rich family... want them all!

"Your Highness, what do you mean..."

"Zhou, we want 50 Dongfeng missiles, plus complete sets of equipment for ten synthetic brigades, but you can take me to see your new energy research and development results!" Abdullah said.

"This... this is an order worth more than 20 billion US dollars. Does your country need so much equipment? Why don't you think about it again?" Zhou Yang said pretending to be surprised.

"Zhou, thank you for your kindness. This matter is settled. I want to see your research results as soon as possible!" Abdullah said.

"No problem, I'll apply to the superiors right away!"

"Row!"

Just when Zhou Yang thought the conversation was over and was about to say goodbye, Abdullah suddenly asked Zhou Yang to wait a moment, and then he walked into the room inside the suite.

A few minutes later, Abdullah walked out with a beautiful box...
