Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 794 Ambition

Lu Shaohua's facial expression was calm, but his heart was not at peace. He knew what the second prince was going to say next, which was nothing more than something about oil. Don't forget, the Saudi Arabian royal family also has an oil company, and some of them are super large oil companies. Given Lu Shaohua's relationship with the Saudi Arabian royal family, Lu Shaohua did not choose to cooperate with them, but instead cooperated with the other three companies. The second prince inevitably felt uncomfortable.

The Asian market is so huge that it would be a lie for the second prince to say that he is not tempted. However, due to the disparity in relationship between the Saudi Arabian royal family and Lu Shaohua, he dared not show it, and he had nothing to say when Phoenix Petroleum cooperated with other oil companies.

However, this does not mean that the second prince has given up. In his opinion, since Lu Shaohua has established an oil company and has so much crude oil stored, it is only a matter of time before he enters the oil field. The second prince just doesn't know when, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year.

It was precisely because of this unstable factor that the second prince was anxious. He did not want Lu Shaohua to cooperate with other oil companies when entering the oil field. Therefore, at this time, he had to point out that the Saudi Arabian royal family was very willing to cooperate with Phoenix Petroleum, or in other words, the two would join forces to invade the world oil market.

The second prince is an ambitious man. He is not satisfied with the status quo. Whether in power or business, he hopes to surpass the previous royal kings. In terms of power, the second prince has reached the top and it is almost impossible to break through. Now the only thing that can make him work hard is business.

There is no need to question the strength of the Phoenix Group, because they have the existence of the legendary figure Lu Shaohua. It is not surprising that they will develop into the most powerful group company in the world in the future. Therefore, the second prince seeks to cooperate with Lu Shaohua's Phoenix Group, so that he can make a breakthrough in business.

Originally, it would have been possible to make a breakthrough by cooperating with other oil companies or working alone, but that method would be slower. The second prince was absolutely unwilling to wait for ten or eight years. What he wanted was speed. Yes, speed. If he could develop to a certain level tomorrow, the second prince would be extremely happy.

However, the Second Prince's reason told him that it was absolutely impossible, because Lu Shaohua had already said that the time was not yet ripe, and he did not want to enter the oil field yet. He was just cooperating with a few companies and making a living.

However, the second prince understood that Lu Shaohua had not entered the oil industry because he did not want to, not because he would never enter. This gave the second prince hope, so he spoke up.

"Your accomplishments in business are recognized. If you say you are second, no one dares to say you are first. And as you know, our royal family's industry has reached a bottleneck. I really want to break through this bottleneck, so I want to cooperate with you." The second prince's words were very direct. He stated the theme at the beginning, but it was not over yet. After a pause, the second prince continued. "I know you don't want to get involved in the oil field now, but in the future, I know you will enter it, so I am willing to wait. After you enter the oil field, we will create a better chapter together."

The Second Prince's meaning had been expressed very clearly, and Lu Shaohua completely understood what he meant. However, Lu Shaohua was not in a hurry to speak because he needed to think.

Yes, Lu Shaohua was thinking, just as the second prince said, entering the oil field is only a matter of time. It is just a matter of time. Isn't Lu Shaohua preparing all the time now?

If they cooperate with the Saudi Arabian royal family, the results will be greatly changed. The reason is that the Saudi Arabian royal family has no shortage of oil. In addition, the crude oil developed from the oil fields that Lu Shaohua has purchased in large quantities over the years, the cooperation between the two parties will be a double sword, which will greatly increase its competitiveness.

Since Lu Shaohua was reborn, his initial goal was to create an economic empire. Now that the economic empire is almost completed, Lu Shaohua has a new goal, which is to climb to the top of the world.

Yes, he climbed to the top of the world, relying on business. But it was not easy to climb up by relying on business, so Lu Shaohua chose oil. If he controlled oil, then Lu Shaohua's status would rise with the tide, until he finally reached the pinnacle and was at the top.

However, it is not easy to control oil. Even if Lu Shaohua buys a lot of oil fields and develops crude oil to store, there is a limit to the amount. But if the Saudi Arabian royal family gets involved, the result will be different.

"We can cooperate..."

This was the answer Lu Shaohua gave after careful consideration, but Lu Shaohua had greater ambitions. What he was thinking about at the moment was not how to cooperate with the Saudi Arabian royal family, but how to control the oil fields of the entire Saudi Arabian country first.

"What share of the country's oil fields does your royal family own now?" Lu Shaohua asked.

In Saudi Arabia, the royal family is a transcendent existence, but that is only a symbol after all, not a political power. The reason why they have the current status is entirely because they control most of the oil fields. But that is only the majority, not all, so Lu Shaohua asked the second prince.

Although the Second Prince did not know why Lu Shaohua asked this question, he understood that Lu Shaohua would never ask such a question for no reason. There must be a reason why he asked this question.

Therefore, the second prince answered without any consideration. "I don't know about the undiscovered oil fields, but for the discovered oil fields, our royal family holds 60% of the shares. Of the remaining 40%, 10% is controlled by some families and forces, and 30% is controlled by the government."

Although the second prince's answer was not very accurate, it gave a rough idea and could be considered as a truthful answer to Lu Shaohua's question.

Lu Shaohua didn't say anything, just nodded, and after a long while he asked, "Have you ever thought about 100% controlling the oil fields in Saudi Arabia?"

This is Lu Shaohua's goal. After controlling seven African countries, Lu Shaohua's mentality has completely changed. He thinks that controlling a country seems to be very fun. Of course, there are interests involved in this, otherwise Lu Shaohua would not bother to do those boring things.

What's more, Lu Shaohua had no intention of controlling it through the Tiger Roar Base, but wanted the Saudi Arabian royal family, that is, the second prince, to come forward to control it. Lu Shaohua would act as a shield for him behind the scenes, and the two sides would cooperate after controlling the entire Saudi Arabian country.

Saudi Arabia is a major oil country in the Middle East. Although it cannot pump out oil by simply digging a well like Iraq, it has many oil fields and is among the best in the world.

If Lu Shaohua had the support of the entire Saudi Arabian country's oil when implementing his ultimate oil plan, then Lu Shaohua would not only be more confident, but would also be able to complete his plan quickly.

Although food should be eaten bite by bite and the road should be walked step by step, Lu Shaohua does not mind speeding up the pace when the foundation is solid.

"..." The second prince was stunned, and then his heart began to twitch uncontrollably. The look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Shaohua changed completely, as if he saw a monster.

"What does Lu Shaohua mean by this?"

Even a three-year-old child can understand what Lu Shaohua meant. The meaning of his words is very clear, which is to control the entire country of Saudi Arabia and control the country's oil.

However, how complicated is Saudi Arabia? Everyone knows this. The second prince has thought about controlling the entire country, but it is easier said than done. Oh, no, it should be said that it is harder than climbing to the sky. Who doesn't want to take a bite of the oil in their country?

It is precisely because of the excessive amount of oil that various forces have been fighting for it, causing the situation to become chaotic and even the country's regime has been repeatedly challenged. If their royal family had not been backed by the Tiger Roar Base, they would probably not have been able to escape the chaos.

But now Lu Shaohua wants him to control the entire Saudi Arabia. What does this mean? It means that Lu Shaohua will support him behind the scenes. So is it possible to succeed?

The Second Prince could not give an answer immediately, but he knew very well that without the support of the Tiger Roar Base, if their royal family handled this matter alone, the success rate would definitely not exceed 20%, and it would still take a very long time.

And if there is the support of the Tiger Roar Base, the success rate will be greatly improved, and there should be a 50% chance of success, which is fifty-fifty.

This was the second prince's estimate in his heart, but at this moment, the second prince was not thinking about how much success he had, but about power. Originally, the second prince thought that he could not make any breakthroughs in power, but Lu Shaohua just gave him such an opportunity, so how could the second prince not indulge in it?

Lu Shaohua knew the second prince well and knew that he was an ambitious man with a deep obsession with power, so Lu Shaohua did not disturb him, but chose to remain silent and let the second prince think about it.

The second prince did not disappoint Lu Shaohua. He thought for a moment, took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down. His face was serious and resolute, and he said in a deep voice, "If I have your support and give me enough time, I will be 100% sure to control the entire country."

Although Lu Shaohua only asked the second prince whether he had ever thought about controlling 100% of the country's oil, it is the same as controlling the entire country. After all, if you cannot control the country's regime, you cannot control the oil. This is the same logic and does not need any further explanation.

And now the second prince has expressed his opinion, and he is not hiding anything, as if he understands it.

Lu Shaohua smiled, a very bright smile, and then asked, "How long do you need?"

"In three years, I'm 50% sure, in five years, I'm 80% sure, and in ten years, I'm 100% sure. Of course, the premise is your full support, otherwise everything is empty talk." The second prince became calm at this moment and said lightly.

"Okay, I'll give you ten years. I hope you won't break your promise after ten years." Lu Shaohua said with a smile.

“Absolutely not”
