Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1713 Retribution

As the king of a government in exile, there are still many things that can be mortgaged, such as the gold, silver and jewelry accumulated by the royal family for hundreds of years, the mining rights of mineral resources in the kingdom, land management rights, etc., and even the land can be mortgaged to the bank. , as long as the bank dares to ask for it.

Anyway, it is the government-in-exile. If the restoration is successful, it will be worth paying any price.

If the restoration is unsuccessful, there is no loss anyway, and the money lost is all from the bank.

This is the same principle as rich people owe debts. The more mortgaged things, the greater the weight. In the end, the bank is afraid of investment failure and has to take out more and more loans.

Saeed’s method is very simple. Although the right to operate the Najd Oilfield is given to the Najd Petroleum Company, the Najd Sultanate will benefit. This part of the proceeds can go to the bank for a loan, and the bank will definitely be happy.

At this time, what the bank considers is not whether the Nejd Sultanate is capable of operating the oil field, but whether the Nejd Petroleum Company is strong enough. As long as the Nejd Petroleum Company is strong enough, for the bank, the loan will be stable. Lost business.

The crux of the matter is whether the Nejd Sultanate dares to take a gamble.

"If you want, I can help you connect—" Said showed his true colors, this is the principle of gossip, brokers are a promising industry.

"Sayed, I have to think about it, think about it carefully—" Hassan was very entangled, the risk was a bit big, and if he didn't do it, he would be doomed.

Later, Saeed did bring a bank manager to Hassan, but it was not Rand Bank, but Citibank of the United States.

The current Citibank also belongs to the Rockefeller consortium.

Although Hassan is not very smart, he still has the political sensitivity he should have.

The news of the breakup of the Los Angeles meeting has already spread, and the international oil price not only did not rise, but started to fall instead.

This is a bad signal, marking the beginning of intense competition among international oil companies.

The price cut this time started with Standard Oil, which took the lead in lowering the price to a level similar to that of Adan Company. Such a price was not profitable for Standard Oil. Even so, it would be difficult for Standard Oil to compete with Adan. Dan's company competes.

The key is the oil quality. If the oil quality is good, more oil will be extracted. If the oil quality is not good, the oil will be extracted less. This is the fundamental reason why Adan’s crude oil is so popular.

Therefore, Standard Oil is not aimed at Adan Company, but at other oil companies. Now the fight is all about strength. Whoever can’t sustain it first will withdraw from the market first. Can monopolize the global oil market.

"Your Highness, if the Najd Sultanate is willing to use the proceeds of the Nejd Oilfield as collateral, then Citibank can offer [-] million U.S. dollars—" Citibank is generous. You may not believe it, but Standard Oil is also a major customer of Adan Company.

Still the reason above is that the cost of oil is actually very low. Whoever refines the oil in the refinery refines the oil. Adan’s oil is of good quality and low price. Standard Oil also integrates production and sales, and the refinery is all based on profit. .

This makes people very embarrassing. The price of oil in Port Elizabeth shipped to the continental United States is lower than the cost of oil extracted by Standard Oil itself. If you were Little John, what would you do?
It is said that sometimes it is necessary to capitalize on the enemy.

"[-] million is too little, not enough—" Hassan has a big appetite, [-] million sounds like a lot, let Hassan spend it by himself, it is enough for Hassan to spend his whole life, but compared with the actual value of Naizhi Oilfield, it is too much not enough.

3333 million U.S. dollars, converted into rand, is about 200 million. If Adan Company does not develop the Nezhi Oilfield, it will only rely on the annual payment of [-] million, which will take more than ten years.

If Adan Company develops Nezhi Oilfield, then the profit will go to the sea. Adan Company sells four barrels of oil for one rand, and more than 80.00% of it is profit. An oil well can contribute 1500 rand to the Najd royal family every day.

A year is 55 million.

This is a well, an oil field with reserves of tens of billions of barrels, there must be more than one oil well.

"Hassan, you are a loan, not a sale, the loan has to be repaid—" If it wasn't for the sake of making money, Said really didn't want to talk to Hassan.

Rock chose to support Harry Rashid at that time, purely because Harry Rashid was very obedient and did what he asked him to do without any resistance, so the rise of the Rashid family came about.

Compared with Hassan, Said is from the real royal family. The serious prince of the Ottoman Empire, that is, the Ottoman Empire has been destroyed, and Said has to deal with Hassan.

Of course, the current Saeed definitely has no right to look down on Hassan. On the contrary, Hassan still doesn’t look down on Saeed. What about the king? The only value of the king of the exile government is probably in the royal family of European countries. When the members held their wedding, they would show up to save face, and they might not even be able to afford the ceremony.

"I know, but what is [-] million US dollars enough for?" Hassan was young, but his tone was serious.

It is known that a Lee Enfield rifle costs 35 rand. If all 1000 million US dollars are used to buy Lee Enfield, it can buy almost [-] million rifles.

It is normal that the numbers do not match up. For military purchases at the level of [-] million U.S. dollars, there must be a discount no matter what. After all, the Lee Enfield produced during the Great War of the British Empire has not been sold out yet, so it can only be sealed up. The reason is that It will be used after the outbreak of the next world war.

Do you believe there will be World War II?

In fact, Hassan is not hypocritical, he is not qualified to mortgage the income of Naizhi Oilfield at all, just like boasting when he is drunk, but he was taken seriously by Said unexpectedly.

Now Hassan is framed and can't step down, that's why he made such an oolong that [-] million U.S. dollars is not much. If it is Said, give him [-] million U.S. dollars, and he can unify the Asia Minor peninsula.

This is indeed very possible, but there is a high probability that the bank will not give Said such a high degree of trust. A truly unified Asia Minor peninsula is good, but what if it cannot be unified? Could it be that all previous investments have been in vain——

Only with brains can we give so much.

"Hassan, the cost of the Colorado-class battleship built by the United States is only 2700 million U.S. dollars—" Said laughed out loud. The U.S. built three Colorado-class battleships, and the total cost was less than [-] million U.S. dollars.

The Colorado-class battleship is BIG7, the UK can only build two ships, and there is none in southern Africa.

Southern African navies say they want it.

The federal government says you don't want to.

"So [-] million US dollars can build four Colorado-class battleships, then we might as well build Colorado-class battleships and sell them to the Royal Navy—" Hassan had a big brain, let alone whether the New York Shipbuilding Company will accept the order, Even if it was built, the Royal Navy couldn't afford it—

What's more, the Royal Navy wouldn't buy it at all. It's not that the UK can't build BIG7. Not every country is like Japan. Even if they lose their underwear, they have to build two BIG7s to save face.

Said and Brandon, the manager of Citibank, looked at each other. Both of them had jokes and sarcasm in their eyes. The two of them were still in love with each other, what if it happened.

What Said didn't expect was that Hassan was called back to Garden City by Ali Rashid the next day. The Najd Sultanate still had very strict management of royal family members.

"What do you want to do?" Although Ali Rashid was not in Port Elizabeth, he knew Hassan clearly.

"Just kidding, I never thought about—" Hassan knew what Ali was asking.

"It's better to be a joke. Don't even think about this kind of thing, otherwise you don't need southern Africans to do it, I will kill you with my own hands!" Ali is cold, this is different from ordinary people doing business. Starting all over again, trying to get out of the control of the Southern African Federal Government, would bring disaster to the entire royal family.

Hassan lowered his head and didn't speak, and he couldn't hold back after holding back for a long time.

"Father, do we have to do this—" Hassan was really unwilling. It is an oil field with a scale of tens of billions of barrels. If it is completely controlled by the Najd Sultanate, it will take a few years for the Najd Sultanate to can rise successfully.

"Yes, we must do this—" Ali didn't explain why, looking at his dejected son, Ali still couldn't bear it: "—at least for now, we can only do this."

This is a good example of a little intolerance leading to chaos and big plans. For the royal family of Najd, let alone whether the Najd Sultanate can rise, the most important issue is to survive.

As long as there is life there is a chance.

"I see—" Hassan looked up to the sky and sighed deeply. He didn't know how long he would wait.

Rock was also waiting, waiting for Haig to make a mistake.

Probably because of his old age, Haig was very honest after he came to Pretoria, and did not do anything that harmed the interests of southern Africa.

But Rock was worried. What Rock believes in this kind of thing is that the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. Haig is different from Kitchener. If he can change for the better, then Haig will not be Haig.

Through Kitchener's "illness", George V probably also understood Kitchener's attitude. After Kitchener was discharged from the hospital, London did not urge Kitchener to return to the mainland to take office, and still allowed Kitchener to stay in southern Africa.

For Kitchener's choice, Rock is still very pleased.

Now that Kitchener gave up the Governor's Mansion to Haig, Rock simply changed the Governor's Mansion under construction in Hot Spring Valley into the Senate. It's okay to have a bubble hot spring, which is good for your health.

Of course, not all elderly people are suitable. Elderly people with heart, brain, lung diseases, and anemia and other diseases are not suitable for long-term soaking in hot springs, and the water temperature should not be too high. Kitchena, Ade, and Philip are all 70 People who are more than one year old still need to pay attention to this aspect.

On December [-]st, the National Day of Southern Africa, this day is a big day for all southern Africans, but Haig was suddenly hospitalized due to illness on this day.
