Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1007: Strategy towards Iran

It is true that the financial crisis is a disaster, but everything has two sides. One side is bad, such as the destructiveness brought about by the financial crisis. This is the bad side, but the financial crisis also has a good side. This good side is naturally for people like Lu Shaohua who know what will happen.

It is undeniable that the financial crisis is extremely destructive, but it is precisely because of its destructive power that Lu Shaohua became successful. Lu Shaohua was not only able to make a fortune when the financial crisis came, but was also able to acquire a large number of potential companies afterwards to increase his own strength.

But then again, it's too early to say this now. It's not the time for Lu Shaohua to take action yet. What Lu Shaohua urgently needs to do now is to fulfill his ultimate dream.

Long before Lu Shaohua built the economic empire of Phoenix Group, his ambitions became even greater. He wanted to control oil and expand his influence to the world, so that he could affect the direction of the economy and the political situation.

Now it seems that Lu Shaohua only has power over oil, and has not yet reached the level of being able to influence the direction of the economy and control the political situation. But Lu Shaohua is not without opportunities. For example, now the financial crisis is about to come.

Once the whirlwind of the financial crisis blows up, everything will be affected, even oil. This is Lu Shaohua's opportunity.

Taking advantage of low prices to desperately acquire is one part of Lu Shaohua's plan, but it is only one part, not all. The most important thing in Lu Shaohua's plan is to target the oil fields, which is the shortcut to quickly increase control over oil.

The financial crisis is sweeping the world, including those countries with oil fields. If those countries want to survive the crisis, they may sell their oil fields to raise cash to stabilize the situation.

Opportunities arise in this way. However, in addition to some countries that control oil, a large portion of the oil fields are controlled by certain oil companies. However, when the financial crisis comes, the oil companies will also be affected. When they can no longer support themselves, it is not ruled out that they will give up the oil fields to obtain cash. This is also an opportunity.

With two opportunities, how could Lu Shaohua let them go? However, Hong Kong was destined to be unable to interfere in those matters because everyone had their own tasks. Lu Shaohua could not spare any manpower to take charge of this matter, so he could only hand over this task to the Tiger Roar Base.

Well, in fact, apart from the Tiger Roar Base, no one else is more suitable to do this, because the acquisition of too many finished crude oil and oil fields will inevitably attract the attention of many people. If the Phoenix Group has this move, it is not ruled out that some people will unite to deal with it.

But the Tiger Roar Base is different. Even the United States, the world's number one superpower, can't do anything to the Tiger Roar Base. Who else dares to deal with the Tiger Roar Base? Therefore, the Tiger Roar Base is definitely the best candidate to handle this matter.

Of course, Lu Shaohua also has another consideration, which is not to make it public for the time being. Even if the financial crisis is over, Lu Shaohua does not intend to achieve his ultimate goal so quickly, if for nothing else, maybe the time is not yet ripe.

Lu Shaohua’s ultimate goal seems simple. As long as he controls the oil, he will accomplish it. But is it really so?

Not necessarily. Oil is under control, but there are still many things that need to be done afterwards, such as reducing the oil supply so that those countries cannot buy crude oil in the oil market. Then they can shamelessly come to the Tiger Roar Base to release the goods.

Only then will Lu Shaohua be considered successful. At the same time, it will also be the time when Lu Shaohua announces that he is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Tiger Roar Base.

It’s easier said than done!

Lu Shaohua knew very well that there was a lot to learn and that he would face a lot of trouble. If he didn't plan well, he would end up digging his own grave.

But then again, Lu Shaohua's current task seems to be to acquire oil first. As for other things, it seems that they are not what Lu Shaohua should think about now. After all, it depends on the situation. Even if Lu Shaohua starts planning now, it will be useless.

Yes, we have to take it one step at a time. Although this is a helpless move, according to the current situation, Lu Shaohua can only do this.

Speaking of acquiring oil fields, Lu Shaohua suddenly had another idea in his mind. This idea was entirely generated by the information brought by his memories of his previous life.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, this is a name, but this name is not simple. He is the president of Iran and came to power in 2005. He was born in a civilian family, but his style is unusually tough and he often makes remarks that shock the world.

However, these are not the most important things. What is important is that Ahmadinejad is definitely a pragmatist. After he came to power, Iran is no longer a country that can be bullied. For example, on the issue of nuclear weapons, when facing pressure from the Americans, Ahmadinejad even said that if the United States dared to use force against Iran, he would definitely retaliate at all costs.

This retaliation also includes nuclear weapons. On the surface, Iran does not have nuclear weapons, but that is only on the surface. No one knows whether Iran has nuclear weapons or not. As a result, the Americans were scared away and dared not do anything to Iran.

But those are things that will happen in a year or two. Lu Shaohua is sure that Iran does not have nuclear weapons now, and Ahmadinejad is unlikely to be as tough as he will be in a year or two. If this is the case, does it mean that Lu Shaohua will benefit?

Don't forget that Iran is also an oil-rich country. If at this time, the Tiger Roar Base were to get in touch with Iran and exchange oil fields for nuclear detonators or even missile technology, do you think Ahmadinejad would do so?

What are nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons are the national treasure and the foundation of a strong country. Possessing nuclear weapons will raise one's international status, while those without nuclear weapons will always be inferior to others.

The truth is so simple, and Ahmadinejad's actions clearly show that he wants Iran to occupy a certain position in the international community and have a say. As long as he can achieve this goal, he can pay any price, even oil fields.

Unfortunately, the Tiger Roar Base possesses nuclear weapons technology, which is the most advanced in the world. If Lu Shaohua could reach a deal with Ahmadinejad, he was sure that Ahmadinejad would definitely agree.

Everyone has their needs!

It is conceivable that if oil fields could be obtained from Iran, it would increase the amount of oil fields held, and indirectly achieve Lu Shaohua's plan to control oil.

With this idea in mind, Lu Shaohua did not hesitate and told Li Zhijie his idea when he called him, asking Li Zhijie to find a way to contact Ahmadinejad to see if the matter could be made.

After understanding Lu Shaohua's intention, Li Zhijie thought about it for a while and felt that this method was feasible, so he promised that he would find a way to contact Ahmadinejad and promised to do his best to make it happen.

However, Li Zhijie finally came up with another idea, which was to make Iran like Saudi Arabia, under the protection of the Tiger Roar Base.

"Absolutely not!" This was Lu Shaohua's answer. Without even thinking about it, he directly rejected Li Zhijie's proposal.

"Why?" Li Zhijie asked back.

"No reason, just because their president is Ahmadinejad. Ahmadinejad is definitely not a simple person, and he is also a representative of the tough faction. If you want to turn Iran into Saudi Arabia, you must first pass him." Lu Shaohua pointed out the key point, and then added one more sentence. "When you are in contact with Ahmadinejad, you must pay attention to your attitude. He is a powerful person, and you cannot be arrogant. However, the negotiation is over before it even starts."

Lu Shaohua didn't really understand Ahmadinejad, but from his actions, it was not difficult for him to guess his character. He was definitely a tough and powerful man, the kind of person who would respect you only if you respect him.

With Lu Shaohua's reminder, Li Zhijie certainly didn't dare to disobey and quickly promised to do it.

Lu Shaohua knew Li Zhijie's handling style very well. He promised that there would be no mistakes, so Lu Shaohua was relieved. However, the matter was not over yet. In addition to military technology, Lu Shaohua also wanted the Huxiao Intelligence Network to provide intelligence to Iran. Of course, it would be paid, not free.

Iran definitely needs some confidential intelligence, and Ahmadinejad definitely wants it too. One party wants to buy, and the other party is the seller, so there is business to be done.

Lu Shaohua has always adhered to the principle of making money in a high-profile manner.

If you have the chance to make money, you're a fool not to make it. There is a business opportunity here, how could Lu Shaohua let it go? Lu Shaohua didn't have any contact with Ahmadinejad before, simply because there was no need. But it's different now. As time goes by, Lu Shaohua is finally going to explode.

"I understand. As long as I get in touch with them, I will put forward my proposal." Li Zhijie assured Lu Shaohua again.

"Hmm." Lu Shaohua responded, and after a moment's silence, he said, "It should be easy to find someone who can contact Ahmadinejad. How about this? You reveal your identity and have someone tell Ahmadinejad about it. I believe he will respond soon."

Lu Shaohua was giving Li Zhijie some advice. In fact, this method was the safest and fastest. It was not only impossible but also inconvenient for Li Zhijie to contact Ahmadinejad directly. After all, one was the king of darkness and the other was the president of a country, belonging to the white side.

Therefore, the only way to quickly connect with Ahmadinejad is to find someone who is close to Ahmadinejad and trustworthy. This way, contact between the two parties will become much easier and safer.

"Don't worry, I'll give you the results within three days." Li Zhijie seemed very confident.

"Okay." Lu Shaohua was very satisfied.
