Reborn Resource Tycoon

Chapter 478

That night, Fang Mingyuan stayed at Prince Abdullah's seaside villa, and Prince Abdullah arranged a sumptuous Arabian dinner to entertain him.

After the dinner, Prince Abdullah did not leave the villa to return to the city, but stayed.As for Wubach, due to his busy schedule, he returned to Kuwait City in the afternoon.Under the clear night sky, the two sat on the top floor of the villa, looking at the sea in the distance, enjoying the refreshingness brought by the sea breeze.

"Fang, you still won that bet." Prince Abdullah shook the red wine in his hand, and said with a look of disbelief, "To this day, in retrospect, I still feel like a dream. In the meantime, my country fell under the wheels of the Iraqi army. I originally thought that we would have to wait at least ten or eight years to return to this city. After paying a heavy price, except you , who would have imagined that in just over two months, just the air strikes had already beaten the wicked Iraqis into a mess, and the Iraqis had been routed as soon as the ground war came into contact. They were successfully recovered Why did you have such great confidence in our country’s territory?”

Prince Abdullah has been thinking about this issue for a long time, and although most of the military experts in the world at that time believed that the coalition forces led by the United States and Britain would inevitably win the Gulf War, no one dared to do what Fang Mingyuan did. Say that once the war officially starts, the U.S. military will win within three months.At that time, he thought that Fang Mingyuan might have said something big because he was too young to do anything, but now it seems that Fang Mingyuan has a plan in his mind.

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing. He had already guessed that this question would be asked this time when he returned to the Middle East, so he had already thought about the answer. "Prince Abdullah, in fact, I also guessed at the time. I only have about 40% certainty. Everyone has seen the war between Iraq and Iran for nearly ten years, which can be regarded as tempering the army, but their What kind of war is being fought? To put it bluntly, it is still a war under the mode of World War II. It has been more than 40 years since World War II. With the development of military technology for more than [-] years, the mode of war has long since changed. They may just see the United States in The failures in the Korean War and the Vietnam War, but never thought about it, the Americans have suffered such a big loss, have they thought about changing?"

"Besides, the United States, as one of the superpowers, if it is said that it has no certainty about this war, how can it be launched rashly? The failure of the Korean War and the Vietnam War had a huge impact on the international prestige of the United States at that time. The damage is not small, and the Americans are not stupid, how could they make the same mistakes over and over again. So I think the US military will win this time." Fang Mingyuan raised his index finger and said, "This is one of them."

"Secondly, the American economy developed well in the [-]s, and in the electronics industry, it can be said to be at the top level in the world, but in today's world, any newly invented technology has almost the same priority. They are all in the military field, because fundamentally speaking, the cost requirements for military supplies are lower than those of commercial products. A technology that cannot be widely promoted due to its high cost is not an option for the military that pursues leading military equipment. What's the problem. So, I think, because of the strong support of the domestic electronics industry, there must be a transformative development in the U.S. weapons technology."

"Thirdly, in the eyes of the Americans, the Middle East is their oil depot and their energy base, which cannot be lost. However, the climate in the Middle East is not conducive to the long-term consumption of the US Army and the Iraqis here. Therefore, they must pursue a quick battle. If it is said that the summer in the Middle East is coming, then the Iraqis, who are natives of the Middle East, will undoubtedly account for a large proportion compared with the Americans who are not adapted to the climate here. Cheap. And after entering the summer, a large amount of sand and dust will cause great difficulties for the Americans to maintain those military equipment, so the Americans will also pursue a quick solution. I am thinking, judging from the processing speed of the UN Security Council at that time However, the time to authorize the Americans to launch a war will be delayed until this year, so the goal of expelling Iraqis from Kuwaiti territory in three months is still very likely to be achieved."

"That's all?" Prince Abdullah looked at Fang Mingyuan in surprise. Although the three things he said were all reasonable, but relying on these three things alone, he dared to take out a billion dollars to bet against himself?

Fang Mingyuan shrugged and said, "That's all. Since it's a bet, I might lose. I'm mentally prepared for that. Besides, if you and I changed the time to half a year, would you still bet with me? "

Fang Mingyuan's outspokenness made Prince Abdullah choke for a while, not knowing what to say.Indeed, as Fang Mingyuan said, if Fang Mingyuan set the time at half a year, would he agree so readily?You must know that in Kuwait, the oil industry is owned by the state, and it is not easy for private companies or foreign-funded companies to join the oil industry.Even the investment intentions of well-known oil multinational groups in European and American countries were rejected by the Kuwaiti royal family, and many of them were on Fang Mingyuan's condition. If it weren't for the special period, the Kuwaiti royal family would never have agreed.

"Okay, okay, no matter what you thought at the time, you won the bet anyway." Prince Abdullah spread his hands and said helplessly, "The emir has officially approved your investment. You have 20.00% of five shares in Er Oilfield. Do you want dividends or share oil?"

"Kalafal Oilfield? 20.00% five shares? How come there are so many?" Fang Mingyuan was also surprised. Although the Karafal Oilfield is not the largest oilfield in Kuwait, it is also a medium-sized self-injection oilfield. A 20.00% stake in Five is worth a billion dollars?

Seeing Fang Mingyuan's astonished expression, Prince Abdullah smiled triumphantly.With Fang Mingyuan, Prince Abdullah always had a feeling of dealing with adults, and the other party was always confident, which made him at a disadvantage in every way, and now he finally saw Fang Mingyuan's surprised look, which made him feel very happy excellent.

"The 20.00% stake in the Karafal Oilfield, of course, cannot be bought for one billion dollars, but..." Prince Abdullah elongated his voice.

At this moment, Fang Mingyuan had the urge to kick him hard. v
