Chapter 1606 Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Second update, please subscribe)
What is the biggest problem for that land in the Middle East?
It has never been Israel, and the so-called Arab-Israel conflict has never been important.
Even without Israel, there are only two possibilities for that land, either secularized or extremist. There is no other way.
However, if Riyadh does not output extreme power now, there should be some good changes.
In fact, the Middle East of this era is still very secular, more or less because of the trusteeship of Britain and France.
Whether now or in the future, secularization is the only option to ensure the interests of the SEA in the Gulf region. "They will enter the city, but problems such as the gap between the rich and the poor may make them extreme, and some people will also take advantage of their ideas."
Faced with Li Yian As a reminder, Princess Atis sneered:
"I know, if someone wants to use them, then those people can go to hell, and I don't mind throwing them into the desert."
As a dilemma of having a family wiped out, Adi Princess Si has her own decision, for her son and to ensure that her son can hold the throne firmly.
She doesn't mind being with the devil.
"You..."
Li Yian said with a smile:
"Actually, it's not necessary to kill them."
"What should I do if I don't kill them?"
Addis asked back:
"Actually, there are some things , not that complicated."
Li Yian asked in a calm tone.
"Do you know the Renaissance in Europe?"
Li Yian then told some jokes before the Renaissance one by one, and Princess Atis was shocked. She couldn't believe these two There will be such a connection between the people.
However, she didn't seem to understand why Li Yian said this.
While she was thinking, Li Yian said: "Well, before the Renaissance, there was a very popular novel in Europe called "December", which is an Italian writer. The collection of short stories written by Giovanni Boccaccio, hundreds of stories told by 10 men and women in 10 days. They are all ironic... It was from then on that the sacredness of the Catholic Church was disintegrated .
When talking about the Renaissance in Europe, Li Yian couldn't help but sigh.
"Before the Decade, Catholicism was sacred and could not be questioned, but this novel, which was called "Man's Song" together with Dante's "Divine Comedy", fundamentally collapsed. Catholicism, after this, there were also some third-rate tabloids in Europe. People use those newspapers to fabricate gossip about those people, and of course they may not necessarily fabricate them.
They amplify some of the problems in the pastor and satirize the pastor. There are all kinds of other morally corrupt things with nuns.
Although these things are not necessarily true, these things become topics of people's dinner, and the so-called sacred things are not allowed. The things that question will become unbearable.
The reputation of the priests is destroyed. If there is no reputation, no reputation. They will naturally lose influence."
It was precisely with this ideological foundation that the later Renaissance was founded.
However, it took two hundred years for Europe's ideological liberation!
Many things are destroyed little by little.
Before the Renaissance in history, when priests and nuns became topics of conversation for people after dinner, everything was destined.
End, the sacredness of Catholicism is broken and destroyed in the gossip story.
"Is this the secret of the rise of Europe?" Li Yi comforted her long hair and said: "It's not a secret, but it's public, but rarely mentioned by others And, people will only talk about the liberation of Europe's ideological lies, but no one will ever say how they liberated and how they broke the shackles. "
"It sounds a bit magical, but their shackles are actually lace. The news broke."
Princess Atis made Li Yian laugh and said:
"This is not magical at all. This is human nature. People are so gossipy. No matter how hypocritical people seem on the surface, they also have a look of dancing when talking about gossip."
This is how human nature is. Simple...one word - vulgar!
The more vulgar it is, the more conducive it is to spread.
Nodded, thinking for a while, Princess Atis said in an extremely affirmative tone.
"I know what to choose.
I need only anyone who can threaten Shia's throne, just like Britain, Shia's descendants should always be kings there, and no one can surpass him, whether in earth or heaven. ”
In this way, they reached a consensus among themselves on this day.
This is for the children.
It is also for the future, as for the future for that land What does words mean? No one knows now that even Li Yian, who is the initiator, cannot predict the future.
The future is like this many times, always full of all kinds of possibilities and full of various uncertainties.
One week later, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries was established in Baghdad, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Kuwait, Kazakhstan and the UAE.
When the organization was established, almost no one noticed them. "But it's just a tool for several countries to increase their bargaining power."
In New York, a commentator in the Wall Street Journal said so confidently that no one would take this organization Take it seriously.
"What can they do?"
In a reading room at Morgan Library, the man with a cigar in his hand looked at Jason in front of him.
"They can't do anything. The oil never belongs to them. The oil belongs to the oil company,"
"Yes, the oil company will never let them harm themselves In interest."
Jason took a sip of whiskey and said, "Just like we absolutely do not allow Brazil to confiscate our iron ore."
Our iron ore!
The world's largest iron ore belongs not only to Global Company, but also to more than a dozen other shareholders.
These shareholders are all like the Mellon family, and are the game rule makers in the United States.
For Jason, who has become one of them, all he needs is to participate in becoming a game-maker.
"Yes,"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
The man sitting in front of Jason nodded, then looked at him and said, "Congratulations, my friend. I heard that you have another child in Brazil, right? ? "
"It's just a show." Jason shook the whiskey glass in his hand and said to him.
"After all, she is Miss Universe."
When talking about "Miss Universe", Jason deliberately emphasized his tone, as if reminding the person in front of him - he was just greedy for beauty and was already there. "You have a very generous wife." The man smiled and said, "Seldom women can tolerate these."
"They always get used to it. Even the king has lovers." Jason's answer made the man laugh. He said while laughing: "Okay, You are happy. For this time, I invite you to discuss with you the investment of your company in South America. We noticed that in the past few years, Global has acquired a batch of salt mines in South America. As a shareholder of the company, I want to know what the meaning of these investments lies?
I really don't know what the importance of those salt mines are, but global investments are spread across Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia. , The company has acquired almost all the local salt mines, salt mines? Is it very important? ”
Faced with his inquiry, Jason did not give a direct answer. In the eyes of many people, the salt mines there are It doesn't matter at all, and it can even be said to be insignificant.
But what they don’t know is that those salt mines are the most important part of the “lithium triangle” in South America, and they are the regions with the most lithium resources in the world. The South American "lithium triangle" consists of three countries: Bolivia, Argentina and Chile, and gathers 65% of the world's lithium resources.
Lithium is a "metal" of the future. A number of lithium batteries have been launched in SEA's laboratory, which are likely to replace oil and become the source of power for automobiles in the future.
Jason certainly didn't need an explanation for this, he just said casually:
"This is just an investment, you know, those salt mines are extremely cheap, I need to pass Some cheap investments deepen the connection with local powerful people. "
This explanation is undoubtedly the simplest and most deceptive.
"Because salt mines have no value, they can buy salt mines at extremely low prices, and then we buy them at a premium. This way they can get some returns legally, so that we can do more in the future cooperation.”
In fact, it is just a bribe. Sometimes this is inevitable in business.
The man naturally knew this very well. He nodded and said: "Indeed, the biggest problem we encounter in business in those places is how to deal with local politicians. , the easiest way is to bribe them, whether in South America, Africa or Asia, this is the most effective and easiest way in those countries. Your method is very good, and it can even be said to be impeccable." "What is important is not impeccable, what is important is that they will really do things after collecting the money."
Jason continued: "What I need is that they will give me the right returns in the right time in the future, and that is the real purpose of this investment," he said. "So, there are some more salt mines in the company's assets, but the important thing is not the salt mine itself. On the surface, those silver mines seem to be worth 1 minute. , but it is a promise between us,"
At the mention of the promise, Jason deliberately emphasized his tone, and then he said:
"Sometimes this kind of commitment is priceless and is likely to play an unexpected role at some time in the future, um. I think that should be the case,"
Jason said these words Is it true?
To a certain extent, it is true that in the past few years, in order to acquire those salt mines more quickly, they have indeed used this as an excuse to purchase salt mines with the help of politicians. As for the premium purchases It is an economic exchange with those politicians, or part of the bribery. In this process, the company also received a lot of promises, those promises to the company. The value is far greater than those salt mines themselves. After all, the lithium in those salt mines has not been truly developed and applied, so naturally there is no commercial value.
But what about the future?
Will lithium become an extremely important mineral resource in the future, as my father said, and be able to replace oil to a certain extent?
Jason doesn't know about this, but he is just step by step to implement the father's plan.
Firstly grasp the world's largest "lithium triangle" in your own hands, and by mastering the supply of lithium, we can ensure that in the future, the company can master the world's " Oil pipes”, like...
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries?
Thinking of this, Jason frowned into a ball and said to himself:
"Can this organization really master the world's oil pipes?"
