Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1013 Li Zhijie's Concerns

Originally, in a situation like today, Lu Shaohua should not have discussed business with Li Zhijie. After all, Li Zhijie had just arrived in Hong Kong, had not been home, and had drunk alcohol. In any way, it was not suitable to discuss business. However, time was urgent, and Lu Shaohua knew Li Zhijie's alcohol tolerance. Also, after drinking, Li Zhijie became more energetic. Therefore, Lu Shaohua decided to talk about some business tonight.

After entering the study, Lu Shaohua closed the door tightly, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it on the table. The meaning was obvious: if you want to smoke, take it yourself.

Lu Shaohua was addicted to smoking. Combined with his experience in his previous life, he naturally knew that people who drank alcohol liked to smoke. Li Zhijie was a smoker, so having a cigarette to smoke at this time was undoubtedly a pleasure for him.

Sure enough, Li Zhijie didn't bother to be polite with Lu Shaohua. He picked up the cigarette and started smoking. He even blew out a few smoke rings and was finally satisfied.

Lu Shaohua was not polite either. He also lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Isn't this trip to Iran a bit risky?"

"Well, it was very dangerous. It was smooth at the beginning, too smooth. I thought it would go smoothly, but no matter how hard you try, you can't prevent a thief in your own home. You can't prevent a woman." Li Zhijie sighed and then said, "But then again, no one who can become president is simply gorgeous. They are really ruthless. The woman who lived with him for decades was beaten to death."

Lu Shaohua shook his head. He knew exactly what happened in Iran, including the final outcome. Lu Shaohua knew everything clearly, so he naturally knew what Li Zhijie was sighing about.

"This deal is of great significance to both us and Iran. No accidents can happen. In Iran, it is normal to have several wives. The death of a wife will only cause them temporary pain." Lu Shaohua continued with Li Zhijie's words.

I have to say that what Lu Shaohua said makes a lot of sense. Arab countries themselves have no regulations on the number of wives a man can have. If a wife dies, people will only feel sad for a while, but will soon forget about it. Look, Li Zhijie also nodded, indicating that he agreed with Lu Shaohua's statement.

"Okay, the Iran issue has come to an end. Let's talk about the next plan." At this point, Lu Shaohua paused and continued, "Libya, this country is located next to Iran, and it is also a big oil country. Their top leader is also very unique and has always wanted to have nuclear weapons. If we use nuclear weapons to lure them, the success rate should be very high."

Many people around the world know what kind of person Gaddafi is. As the person in charge of the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network, Li Zhijie must know this. "Gaddafi is indeed a very unique person, eccentric, but one thing is certain, he is very courageous. If he had nuclear weapons and was asked to fire at the United States and the European Union, he would definitely dare to do so."

Obviously, Li Zhijie had a very high opinion of Gaddafi, but a high opinion was one thing and selling him nuclear weapons was another. Just as Lu Shaohua had thought before, it was precisely because of Gaddafi's eccentric personality that such a person could turn against him in an instant.

"A dictator must have a certain amount of courage, otherwise he will be timid and unable to accomplish anything. However, precisely because of his weird personality, we have to be extremely careful if we want to do business with him." Li Zhijie said with some concern.

Li Zhijie did not say all that was in his mind. It can be said that his statement was very obscure. But one thing is certain, that is, Li Zhijie did not agree with making a deal with Gaddafi. As for the reason, it is very simple. Gaddafi's personality is too changeable. Once he turns against Gaddafi, it is possible that he will turn his gun against him.

Who is Lu Shaohua? How could he not understand what Li Zhijie meant? He smiled and said, "Do you know why I asked you to ask the experts at the secret base whether they can control the nuclear weapons that are sold?"

As early as when Lu Shaohua set his sights on Libya, he had thought of this and already had the answer. The nuclear weapons that were sold could be controlled with just some tampering. In this case, Lu Shaohua did not have to worry about Gaddafi pointing a gun at him.

After Lu Shaohua's reminder, Li Zhijie remembered it, but he did not rush to say anything. Instead, he thought for a moment, and then seemed to understand Lu Shaohua's true intention, and then asked, "Do you mean to tamper with the nuclear weapons that were sold?"

At that time, Li Zhijie felt strange. Why did Lu Shaohua suddenly become interested in controlling nuclear weapons? It turned out that Lu Shaohua had already considered this point. This made Li Zhijie admire him very much.

"If that's the case, it's feasible." Li Zhijie nodded, but soon, his brows furrowed, and said, "But the four intercontinental missiles with nuclear warheads that we sold to Iran don't seem to have been tampered with!"

"Don't worry about that." Lu Shaohua said, "Iran is not Libya, and Ahmadinejad is not Gaddafi. He won't dare to do anything rash. After all, the strength of our Tiger Roar Base is there."

Lu Shaohua is fully confident about Ahmadinejad. Although he is tough, he is not the kind of person who will do anything without regard for others when he is angry. He will remain rational in most cases. That is why Lu Shaohua is confident in him.

However, despite this, Li Zhijie was still a little worried about Gaddafi, and he weakly suggested, "Gaddafi has a changeable personality and is a dictator. Cooperating with such a person is undoubtedly dancing with wolves."

Originally, Li Zhijie should not have questioned Lu Shaohua, but sometimes a wrong decision may bring countless troubles. Although the Tiger Roar Base is not afraid of trouble, the time is now. It is better to have less trouble than more. Making a fortune in silence and developing quietly are the top priorities.

Lu Shaohua also understood Li Zhijie's idea, so when Li Zhijie refuted his plan, Lu Shaohua did not say anything, but just nodded, pondered for a moment, and then continued. "This plan is a bit risky, but from the current point of view, we have no choice. If we want to get oil, we must find a country like Libya."

At this point, Lu Shaohua looked up at Li Zhijie, and seeing that the latter's expression did not fluctuate much, he continued. "Although it is a bit risky, we can definitely take out a double insurance, such as making some moves. This is the first insurance. As for the second insurance, the oil field to be exchanged must be a small oil field, and it is divided into multiple places. When the transaction is successful, we will immediately arrange people to develop the oil field and complete it as quickly as possible. In this way, we don't have to worry about Gaddafi."

If we try our best and have the most advanced machines in the world, developing a small oil field can be completed within a few months. These few months should be a honeymoon period for both sides, and there is no need to worry about Gaddafi turning against us. By the time the oil field is developed and the crude oil is shipped to Africa, it will be too late for Gaddafi to turn against us.

Of course, cooperation is not a one-time thing. If there is a second cooperation, it depends on Gaddafi's performance. If Gaddafi does not make any moves and both sides are still in the honeymoon period, then the next cooperation can be considered.

If Gaddafi behaves inappropriately, the two sides will terminate their cooperation. It will be a one-time deal and there will be no next time.

"If that's the case, it's fine. The risk is not that big." Li Zhijie agreed.

Li Zhijie agreed, but at this moment, Li Zhijie suddenly felt that he was a little naive. Who was Lu Shaohua? He was an extremely smart man. How could there be any mistakes in the things he had planned?

Now it has been confirmed that he was overthinking it. Lu Shaohua had already thought about every step. Although there are some risks, compared with the benefits, those risks are nothing. It's ridiculous that he is still a little worried.

"That's it. You stay in Hong Kong for a while and arrange for people to conduct a survey on the situation in Libya and Gaddafi. Once you have the results, you can make targeted plans and then find a way to contact Gaddafi." Lu Shaohua said calmly.

"Okay." Li Zhijie nodded without hesitation and asked, "By the way, if we want to trade, are we selling pure nuclear weapons or weapons with nuclear warheads?"

Nuclear weapons is just a general term. There are many types of nuclear weapons, such as atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. These are all counted as nuclear weapons, but atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs are pure nuclear weapons.

The other type is missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads. As long as they are equipped with nuclear warheads, they can also be considered nuclear weapons. Li Zhijie's question is whether to sell pure nuclear weapons or missiles with nuclear warheads.

"It is impossible for us to sell pure nuclear weapons to Gaddafi. At most we can sell intercontinental missiles that can be equipped with nuclear warheads. If possible, we can sell them separately, with intercontinental missiles as intercontinental missiles and nuclear warheads as nuclear warheads." As he spoke, Lu Shaohua showed a cunning smile.

It is obvious that Lu Shaohua is going to use his potential as a profiteer again and intends to discredit Gaddafi.

Li Zhijie saw it clearly and knew that Lu Shaohua's smile was undoubtedly a sign that he had sharpened his knife and was waiting for Gaddafi to stick his head out to be slaughtered.

What else could Li Zhijie say? He didn't need to say anything. Even if Lu Shaohua didn't say anything, Li Zhijie would still discredit Gaddafi. After all, nuclear weapons are not simple things. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are in demand but priceless. No country in the world sells nuclear weapons, and there is almost no set price. Therefore, as the seller, the price is basically set by Li Zhijie.

The matter had been finalized, and Lu Shaohua did not continue talking. Li Zhijie did the same. Instead, they tacitly changed the topic and chatted about something casual. It was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that Li Zhijie said goodbye to Lu Shaohua and went home.
