Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

The group reluctantly left the industrial zone of Huasheng. Salman and Xu Huasheng also found a place to discuss the cooperation in detail.

Finally, the preliminary cooperation plan was simply finalized. Saudi Arabia will set up a Saudi Royal Automobile Group, and then use this group's name to form a joint venture with Shanhai Automobile Group.

Shanhai Automobile Group provides technology, and Saudi Royal Automobile Group provides money. Salman will send someone to negotiate the specific cooperation projects after returning to Saudi Arabia.

After Salman and his group left China and returned to Saudi Arabia, Salman came to the palace as soon as possible. He wanted to report the harvest of this trip to China to the king in detail.

"Your Majesty, we have gained a lot from this trip to China. This arms trade is too important for us. And in terms of submarines, China has also responded..."

In the room, after listening to Salman's report, the Saudi king's eyes lit up. This harvest is huge. The technology and production line of these two missiles are too important for Saudi Arabia. This thing can not only protect its own safety, but also give Saudi Arabia the capital to be the big brother.

If you are the big brother, who will follow you if you don't give your little brother some benefits? And these two missiles are the benefits. In the future, Saudi Arabia can produce missiles by itself. Whoever follows you, you will sell them some to protect yourself. How cool is that.

In addition to missiles, the Saudi king is even more concerned about submarines. If there are such submarines, Saudi Arabia must get a few of them, with missiles with a range of 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers, and then install thermobaric bombs. This is the strategic deterrence capability.

If you spend money to get a few more mushroom eggs, then Saudi Arabia can rest assured. At that time, even if the United States wants to move itself, it will have to think twice. With mushroom eggs, even if you can't attack the United States, you can easily wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

"This time it's done very well. I have called the major royal families about the idea of ​​the joint fleet. They also have this intention. The formation of the alliance needs to be done slowly..."

The Saudi king said seriously. Saudi Arabia paid a lot for this joint procurement. Of course, in return, Saudi Arabia paid money, so after the establishment of the joint fleet, Saudi Arabia will naturally be the boss.

"Your Majesty, I think Saudi Arabia is actually very similar to China in many ways. China also had nothing before, but they developed themselves through various methods. I have been studying China for some time and found that China has a lot of experience that we can learn from. There is an old saying in China called crossing the river by feeling the stones. They don't just copy certain things when they learn them, but turn them into what they need, remove the bad ones, and only keep the useful ones. Your Majesty, I think we might as well try it, we cross the river by feeling the Chinese model. We have studied the Western model for so many years, but we haven't seen much effect. Why don't we try in a different direction?"

Salman went on to say that Salman had begun to study China during this period and collected a lot of information for this purpose. After the study, he found that there are indeed many things in China that Saudi Arabia can learn from.

Salman's words aroused the king's interest, and he looked at Salman with curiosity.

"Your Majesty, I think we should increase investment in China. China is very poor and short of money now. All industries are short of money, so they welcome foreign investment and give good policies. This is a good opportunity for us to invest. China has a large market and a large population. Once such a country develops, its size will be terrifying. If we invest in China now, we can enjoy the dividends of China's development, and the future income may be greater than investing in Europe and the United States. Most importantly, we can also use investment to build our rear base in China..."

When Salman said this, the Saudi king was completely interested. Looking at the king's eyes, Salman laughed.

"Your Majesty, let's make an assumption. If one day the United States attacks us and we fail, if we escape at that time, where is the safest place?"

Salman asked in a low voice, and this made the Saudi king look serious.

If I go into exile, where is the safest place? Europe? How is it possible? Europe and the United States are in the same boat. Brother countries? Who dares to take me in in brother countries? Don't you want to live?

After thinking about it, there are perhaps only two choices, Russia and China, and only these two countries dare to go against the United States.

"Your Majesty, the only countries that dare to take us in are Russia and China. And I prefer China, because China's ideology is different from the West, so China and the West are naturally hostile. Another point is that the Chinese people are more loyal. I have studied China and found that China has never taken the initiative to betray its friends, but has always been betrayed by some friends.But Russia is different. This nation will do anything for its own interests..."

Salman's words made the Saudi king look at him solemnly.

"So, I have a bold idea. We want to build our own industrial chain, which is difficult in Saudi Arabia. In this case, can we change the way? We have money, we buy some companies in China, and use these companies to build a complete industrial chain in China. Then let this industrial chain serve us Saudi Arabia. For example, if we need steel, we buy a steel mill in China. If we need chemical raw materials, we buy a chemical plant in China. Whatever we need in the future, we can directly place an order to our factory in China. At that time, it will only cost more shipping..."

Salman told the Saudi king his idea in detail. After listening to Salman's idea, the Saudi king's eyes lit up.

Salman's idea is to build an industrial chain belonging to Saudi capital in China. Whatever Saudi Arabia needs, it will directly invest in China.

Anyway, China is big enough and has enough companies. Saudi capital buys some companies, and China doesn't care at all.

Once Saudi Arabia controls this industrial chain, it will be much simpler for Saudi Arabia to need anything in the future. There is no need to spend money to buy from others. Just place an order directly to your own factory, just transfer from left hand to right hand.

For example, to build a car, you can directly place an order to your own parts factory in China, and finally these parts can be directly shipped to Saudi Arabia for assembly. Even the car factory can be directly placed in China. Although it is nominally an imported car, the money is still Saudi Arabia's money, just paying some taxes.

By then, maybe Saudi Arabia will have more than just a simple industrial chain. If it is done well, even airplanes and cannons can be built.
