    Riyadh.

    In order to welcome the distinguished guests from the East, the Masmak Castle was brightly lit. The Saudi family used nearly a hundred people to prepare the dinner carefully. The level of luxury surprised Liu Mingzhao and others who attended the meeting.

    But no matter which party they are, their thoughts are not on the exquisite food.

    After the meal, Yang Qiu was personally invited by Ibn Saud to go to the second-floor room, which was decorated uniquely. A beautiful Persian carpet was laid in the center, and traces of modern technologies such as refrigerators and radios could also be seen.  The most surprising thing is that in addition to the religious shelves, there are also many English and Arabic translations of works from other countries.  Undoubtedly, the people who can enter this room now are all the core members of the Saudi family. In addition to bin Aziz, there are also two of Ibn Saud's most valued sons and brothers. On Yang Qiu's side, he only brought Bei Zuyi and Liu  Ming imperial edict and a translator.

    Ibn Saud wears a traditional plaid headscarf and a wide Arabic robe draped around his body, making him look lean and lean. Under his protruding brows is a pair of eyes that are completely different from his age, and he is very energetic.  This was the third time he and Yang Qiu had met each other in seven days. Not only was it a courtesy, but it was also because of the loan agreement that almost caused a quarrel in the family.

    3 billion U.S. dollars, 6 billion yuan!  Who can say no?

    Ibn Saud could not resist. The unification of Najd and Hijaz was only the first step. The next step was to build a country, gain world recognition, develop the economy, build the country, and suppress the surrounding chief tribes who were eyeing them, all of which required money.  But the money is very hot to get!  He is not a newbie, nor is he an old fool who doesn't know the depth of things.  Understand that Britain, France, China and perhaps the United States are entangled here.  No matter which party, they are forces that the Saudi family cannot afford to offend.

    So he needs time to think about it, and he needs to gather family wisdom to see through the fog.

    Yang Qiu smiled and said nothing, and Bei Zuyi and others would not speak. They knew best that they had the initiative at the moment, so they were all waiting for a voice.  After a moment, the voice finally rang: "Thank Allah for bringing you here. I have read the documents Aziz brought. This is a very tempting plan, but I hope you understand that we  I don¡¯t want to get involved in any country¡¯s conflict.¡±

    English with an Arabic accent is difficult to understand.  It takes great care not to miss details.  Yang Qiu listened hard, and sweat even dripped from his forehead because his mind was racing.  To put it lightly, this is the country¡¯s energy supply and demand for the next hundred years.  To put it bluntly, it is the prelude to the carving up of the future world!  There is no room for slightness.  After Ibn Saud finished speaking, he said: "Respecting Your Majesty the Emir, we might as well be more frank. I know that it is urgent for you and your family to establish a country of your own. But building a country is not simple.  Things, the meaning of the country is not only government, but also all the government of defense, security, finance, economy, etc. In addition to the respected President Kemal who established the independent Republic of Turkey on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire,  No country in this area has been able to get rid of British and French colonization and gain independence. Even Reza Khan across the sea is also swinging around under the attack of the Soviet Union and Britain, and has not been able to gain true independence so far.

    I can understand your concerns.  The British Empire is powerful across the seven seas, but as a leader, it needs a broader vision!  I can see that you have wise eyes and can see through the fog to see that the world is different!  Although Britain and France were the victors of the European war, the situation in both countries was deteriorating.  France dies too young.  People, most of the country's energy has been consumed and it has lost the power to compete. It is already rare to ensure its European status.  The British Empire looks stronger than before the war, but look at this economic data released by the British government there has been no growth for six years!  "

    Bezuy promptly handed Ben Aziz the British and French economic data he and the intelligence agencies had synthesized.  After the other party finished reading, Yang Qiu continued the speech that had been conceived several times: "Not only the economy, ugly things like colonies are increasingly opposed by the people of all countries. The Muslim brothers in the Dutch East Indies have already taken action, and the same has happened in India.  Riddled with holes! In the Arab world. In the vast African continent, the cry of revolution can be heard every moment. The ship of the British Empire is already overwhelmed! They are getting older, but the threat of the Soviet Union is increasing.  ! Afghanistan is just a testing ground. Although my army is doing its best, the situation is very pessimistic at present. If Afghanistan falls, who will be next? Persia or India? No matter who it is, it will affect the balance of the Arab world. This point  You should be very clear. If Reza Khan fails, then no one can stop a red Persia from returning to rule the Arab world!

    The United States is too far away. You know best whether Britain and France are worthy of trust. Only our country is the closest and can help resist the expansion of the Soviet Union!  We have not only defeated the powerful German army, but also defeated the Moscow army. Therefore, our country will remain an important partner needed by Britain and France for a long time to come, and it will also be your friend.  "

    There is truth or lies in these words, in addition to expressing that he has enough strength, he also talked about the weakness of Britain and France and the looming red tide.  As for the last sentence, it more directly implies that Britain and France turned against the Soviet Union because China supported the establishment of the Saudi family. But in fact, even he himself was not sure of this.

    Ibn Saud was said to be faintly moved, and more importantly, he was really reluctant to part with this huge foreign aid that came to his door.  China is an important country in the League of Nations, and it is a rising power like the United States. Although it is not yet comparable to that of the United States, it has surpassed France, and it seems that surpassing the United Kingdom is not far away now.  But he was still worried. After the translation was completed, he asked in broken English: "The United States is far away, but China is also far away from us. How do you solve this problem? Germany was stronger eight years ago, but lost in the end."

    "The West and the Arab world have always been incompatible. Will the introduction of their power trigger people's protests? On the contrary, when our country was founded, we promised the world that we do not need colonies, let alone impose our ideas on any country.  At this point, there is no conflict between us. I believe you have also read the loan plan. It is formulated based on the principle of fair cooperation. The term may be a bit long, but that is only for business needs. I don't want to go hungry.  "

    "hehe"

    There was a chuckle in the room. Even the traditional and rigid Ibn Saud raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but his eyes did not move at all. He was still looking at him waiting for the answer to the final question.  Yang Qiu squeezed his palms quietly, and his tone gradually became serious: "China is not Germany, and we will not declare war on the whole world. I personally don't like war, but I am not afraid of war! It seems far away. But in fact, from  There are only 3,000 kilometers from Andijan to here. Now all countries in the world are developing aircraft, and our country is in the first group in this field. Maybe we can cross this distance in a year or two. Even without aircraft, our country has already formed a powerful navy.  , can ensure the safety of the waterway from the Red Sea to our country! To put it more simply, this is not a small contract of millions or tens of millions. It is a loan of 6 billion! If there was no power to ensure the safety of funds, I would be sitting here  Is it? The most powerful naval forces in the world are in the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean to the west of the Suez Canal. In the east, they have less power than our country. So I am confident that we can defeat any country that tries to undermine our relationsany!  "

    Seeing that his father had not expressed his position yet, Ben Aziz was the most anxious and quickly whispered in his ear.  He did not believe in Yang Qiu, but believed that without the power of protection, no one would risk 6 billion yuan. After all, this money was enough to buy the entire Najd, or several times the size of the British Royal Navy.  Be more thorough.  If Yang Qiu failed, the worst he could do was to defect to the United Kingdom, because most of the contracts were in-kind loans. In the end, Yang Qiu and China would be the unlucky ones.

    Ibn Saud was finally convinced and pointed to the desk opposite.  This small movement made everyone in the Saudi family unable to control their eyes with excitement.  Bei Zuyi and others secretly wondered what it meant. It was not until Ben Aziz took out a pen and seal that they finally understood that they had finally convinced the other party.

    With trembling hands, Bei Zuyi took out the contract documents that had been prepared from his bag.  Although he was very worried about the safety of his funds, and even more worried that the leak would lead to war between China and Britain, he knew how significant this contract was!  It¡¯s not just China¡¯s first capital export.  It solved the problem of safe transfer of China Investment Corporation's huge assets in the United States, and was able to control a country in a strategic location for 60 years!  Liu Mingzhao next to him clenched his fists. After 16 years of ups and downs, Yang Qiu not only completely changed the destiny of the country, but also took the most important step to compete in the world!

    But just when the whole room was filled with excitement, a voice suddenly interrupted all the enthusiasm.  "Wait a minute!" Yang Qiu unexpectedly stopped and took out a new contract from his bag: "I'm sorry, I represent the Chinese government for this loan, soif you fail to truly establish  In front of the country, we can only sign this agreement. And that one" He pointed to the original manuscript in Bei Zuyi's hand: "It can only be used as a follow-up secret agreement, and it can only be truly signed after you establish the country.  fulfill."

    Ibn Saud opened the new contract and found that the content above was very simple.  China will help build a large reservoir in the Riyadh area to solve the problem of drought and water shortage.  Saudi Arabia's first heavy oil power plant will also be built and Najd's first large-scale refinery will be built in Al Hofuf under the name of Gulf Oil Company.  The strange thing is that after reading it, not only did he not refuse, but the smile on his face became even bigger.  Because he saw that Yang Qiu sincerely wanted to reach this loan agreement, otherwise he would not have asked for only a secret agreement to be signed before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

    As for this simple and messy "small contract", it must be used to blindfold Britain and France.  What's more, if you want to transform a family into a country, it can't be done within a year or two. The secret agreement can give you time to deal with it.  After thinking about it, Ibn Saud put the two contracts together and slowly picked up the pen. In an instant, all eyes were focused on the small pen tip, and Yang Qiu didn't even know it.He said, with beads of sweat already appearing on his back.

    The night is deep.  Yan Yuqiu was restless in the hotel.  Considering that the Islamic nation is conservative and stubborn on women's issues, she did not attend the dinner. Because she did not attend, she was even more anxious about how the negotiations would go.  She knew very well how much preparation Yang Qiu had made for today. She even started studying Arabic a few years ago, and asked Chen Haohui and the others to prepare a lot of information, all for this contract.

    Can it succeed?  Will the conservative and stubborn Saudi family choose him to abandon Britain?  If he doesn't succeed, will he be very unhappy The more Yan Yuqiu thinks about it, the more uneasy he becomes. If he doesn't succeed, not only will all his efforts be wasted, but he may also offend Britain. What should he do?

    Just when she was waiting impatiently, there was a sudden sound of wheels outside, and a moment later she heard the rattling of leather shoes on the wooden spiral staircase.

    Like a trumpet, Yan Yuqiu quickly tidied up his scattered temples and rushed to the stairs before seeing Yang Qiu and Liu Mingzhao walking up the stairs talking and laughing.  Even though her expression said everything, she still couldn't control herself and rushed forward, almost running into Yang Qiu's arms. She raised her head and widened her eyes: "Signed?"

    "Signed!"

    "Signed, all signed! Haha"

    Behind them, Bei Zuyi, Liu Mingzhao and others finally couldn't hold back their excitement, and one or two of them laughed happily.  When Ibn Saud signs his name on both contracts, it means that within the next 60 years when the Saudi family pays off the loan, China will be able to continuously obtain cheap oil mined here, and will also control this country for 60 years!  You can build a **security team, a **banking system, **taxation, **finance" here, and even workers can get partial immunity when entering and exiting!  Of course, there is also a huge income of up to 25 billion yuan including principal and interest!  If the Saudi family finally takes back the equity of the two companies, it will receive tens of billions in additional income!  And all this income has never touched the controlling stake in the world's number one oil field that has been obtained!

    Is there any bigger business than this?

    No wonder even the mature and prudent Liu Mingzhao was so excited that he couldn¡¯t close his mouth from ear to ear. In the end, Yan Yuqiu was so excited that he forgot his identity and hugged Yang Qiu.

    The cheers all around suddenly quieted down, and everyone snickered and walked quietly away.  Yang Qiu was even more embarrassed, but he couldn't bear to push her away, so he could only let his arms get tighter and tighter.  In fact, Yan Yuqiu had seen Bei Zuyi and others leaving earlier. Thinking of his forgetfulness, his cheeks turned red and he did not dare to look up.  But the hug that didn't come made her heart feel a little empty. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and seemed to have forgotten the impulse. She let go of her arms and slowly raised her head: "Next, are you going to return to China or continue to visit Turkey?"

    Yang Qiu turned his head and looked at the golden disc-like moon outside the window, stretching hard: "Go to Turkey first and then go home. What I want most now is to have a good sleep."
