Chapter 249:(1/4)
(Suddenly I found out that it is safer to have no title? Try again!)
Xiaoke is really weak. It has a longer coastline than Lao Sa. There are only a few small gunboats, and it makes people feel sad.
Sean couldn't figure it out, either if Lao Sa saw that he wouldn't expand the navy, or if he used all his money to build a palace...
"It seems that these oil guys like to build palaces." Robert stood beside Sean with emotion.
Along the way, when I was in the front, the banquet of the Sultan of the Sultan was held at the Nuroyman Palace.
There are 1.2 million square meters, 1,788 rooms, 257 bathrooms alone, all the domes on the outside are gilded, and even the doors are gilded.
Anyway, if you can use pure gold, you won’t be gilded.
Otherwise, Sean would not have asked for 100 million yuan in military expenses for assisting defense in such a small country.
The bitch is so rich.
As a result, when he arrived at Lao Sa, Sean said that this guy also had 24 palaces, and Robert's eyes turned red on the spot.
He urged Sean to rob them just by robbing them.
"It seems to be removed." Sean sneered, all of them were big dogs.
The Kuwait king appeared at the dock to greet him. Regardless of whether he welcomed Sean or not, he had to come.
Jordan Belfort did not get off the boat, and Sean took Robert, Lorraine, and Norris's secretary team to go down to meet the royal family.
For the welcome ceremony, palace, and banquet, Sean seemed to have never known the Middle East's vigilance against leading the fleet, and proposed the order of "sea assistance in defense" in front of everyone.
In an instant, the banquet hall became strangely quiet.
The king looked at Sean with a serious expression, "Is this what the US Congress meant?"
"Don't you think too much. Haven't you all consulted?" Sean put down his eyes and glanced at everyone's face. His smile remained unchanged. He picked up the wine in front of him and took a sip. Then he continued: "The Umbrella is an ordinary company. What we do is a private security contractor. From individuals to companies, from regions to countries, all kinds of security businesses are within our scope of undertaking."
"What if we refuse?" the king continued.
"There is no need to think so much. I, Sean, are not a devil. This is just a commercial negotiation. Can I still block the Persian Gulf?" Sean said with a smile.
Xiao Ke: You want to block the Persian Gulf!
At this point, the atmosphere of the banquet was completely over, and Sean didn't care. He had limited time this time and had no time to slowly slap them.
After the banquet, Sean said goodbye directly, got on the battleship and drove towards Manama in Bahrain. This city was built by Rockefeller in David's mouth.
This country has only been officially independent for 14 years, but relatively speaking, the royal members here are much more enlightened than Xiao Ke.
At least, when Sean proposed to "assist the defense in the sea area" at the banquet, the Bahrain royal family said that it was considering, which was somewhat beyond Sean's expectations.
Afterwards, the Bahrain royal family discussed investment with Sean, opening an overseas branch of the bank in Manama and opening a shipyard.
Sean directly rejected the shipyard matter!
What a joke? This is a broken place, without a steel industry, and without cooperation in the downstream spare parts industry, which chicken feather will open a shipyard?
"Bank, I would consider having Sean Commercial Bank open a branch in Bahrain. It is impossible for a shipyard, but a factory dedicated to ship maintenance can be considered."
Bahrain Royal Family: If you say that, I will not be sleepy!
Facing the somewhat unique Bahrain royal family, Sean felt like he was being stuck on it...
Anyway, it’s too late to visit two countries in one day.
Sean stayed here and had a banquet in the evening. The king pulled Sean to talk about investing in a ship repair factory.
Sean: What about the sea area to assist in defense?
Finally, considering the large oil tankers entering and leaving the Persian Gulf every day, the market prospects should be very good, Sean still agreed to invest in a ship repair factory with the Bahrain royal family.
The Bahrain royal family is responsible for paying the money, and Sean is responsible for providing equipment, personnel, technology, and shares.
The Bahrain royal family is 70%, and Sean is 30%.
After all, there is no need to pay. As for technology, personnel, and equipment, Sean remembers that when he was about to renovate the Killing-class missile, he found that the Todd Shipyard, which was originally responsible for building Killing 40 years ago, seemed to be on strike and going bankrupt...
Although you look at the old equipment and old technology 40 years ago, it is also the military technology of the United States. Just look at the mighty Killing-class missile destroyer under your butt.
Sean was sure that it was fine to use it to repair those thin iron-made tankers.
Signing a cooperation agreement did not mean returning empty-handed. The next day, Sean visited Qatar and the UAE emirates in succession.
This is a consortium, and Sean focuses on Dubai here.
Future memories tell him that Dubai is a good place, and the oil and natural gas resources are not abundant, which makes Dubai's oil lovers pay more attention to commercial development.
As expected, Sean was not expecting, the answer to the sea area assisting in defense was still considered, but the Dubai Chief talked to Sean about the plan to cooperate in the development of the tourism industry.
The other party fell in love with Sean's resources in Hollywood...
Q: What resources does Hollywood have?
Answer: Beauty!
Is this reasonable?
This is a beaver!
Why are beauty not considered a resource?
There are so many local tyrants in the Middle East, they are rich and leisurely, and their national size and geographical location make them have no chance of fighting for hegemony. So what are they doing when they are idle?
Of course I'm thinking about how to play all day long.
It doesn’t matter what a man plays, the key is to play with ‘who’…
Ahem, Norris has a say in this regard.
It is no problem to cooperate in developing ‘tourism’ resources, but compared to this, Sean values Dubai’s port shipping business more.
Dubai is the throat area between entering and leaving the inner bay of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. In the future, Dubai's port business will always be among the top ten in the world.
Of course, what we are talking about now is about cooperation intentions, and in-depth negotiations must wait for the future.
Here we gathered the 50,000-ton tanker, headed straight to the Strait of Hormuz, and we had to cross the Yifang defense line again.
Oman and the UAE are really deserted. It is such a huge strait, and even its own waters are under the control of the Orient.
The radar operates at full power and the missile enters combat readiness. As expected, as soon as it enters the strait, warships from the side are surrounded.
The routine warns the other party to open fire immediately when approaching five kilometers!
With the lessons learned from the past, I really dare not get close to it.
Of course, more importantly, the relevant side has confirmed that the US has at least no intention to intervene in the Iran-Iran-Iraq for the time being, and brothers in the Arab world do not welcome Sean's arrival.
This made Yifang breathe a sigh of relief.
With the escort of more than a dozen warships of all sizes, Sean's fleet was "gifted" out.
That is Sean, if someone else destroys Yifang helicopter, you go out and have a look!
These madmen whose brains are poisoned by religious thoughts will definitely sink you.
These guys never consider whether you are a civilian facility. Attacking the poor is their best choice. After all, killing pagans is God's will.
All the only things that can calm their minds down are planes, cannons, warships, and missiles!
After leaving the Strait of Hormuz, Sean ordered the tanker to leave first, and the two warships stopped.
Seeing that the warship stopped, Yifang couldn't figure out Sean's intentions, so he immediately sent a communication request.
"Please leave here immediately, Mr. Sean, you Americans are not welcome here."
"Don't be so excited, are you interested in meeting each other?" Sean said with a smile.
Then there was a long silence. After a long time, Sean thought the other party was about to refuse, and suddenly heard: "Okay."
After waiting for a long time, a helicopter flew over and hovered above the warship.
"Mr. Sean." An old man in military uniform and bearded walked towards Sean.
"When I get here, there is no need to be stern, relax a little." Sean smiled and greeted him.
"Ha, is Mr. Sean ready to accept our employment?" General Yifang said with a smile.
"Don't." Sean waved his hand quickly, "Forget it, the president has given orders. He will definitely not do the transactions of terrorist organizations, nor will he follow the parties. He will definitely not participate in the negotiations of "evil countries" such as Colonel Ka. I am still a child, so I won't participate in this."
General Fang sneered, everyone was tacitly informed.
"What's wrong with Mr. Sean asking me for it."
"Old Sa owed me a lot of money. He had no money and could only use oil to pay off his debts. In the future, my tanker will pass through the Strait of Hormuz many times."
"This is not in the interests of the parties."
"I don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, causing some bad things to happen."
"You are threatening us!" General Yifang's eyes sterned.
"I am protecting my property, my personal property, sacred and inviolable."
Sean and General Yifang looked at each other, but they refused to give in.
Transaction compromise is impossible. Although someone privately supplies so many weapons and spare parts to the e-side, Sean is not as big as that size and dares to violate the orders of Congress and the president.
To be continued...
