Chapter 492 Five Million Dollar Donation

With the definite result, both Fairbanks and Dudleyway, who were full of worries, were naturally in no mood to stay here any longer, and after the banquet came to an end, they got up one after another to say goodbye.

"Fang, what if BP really came up with a valuable patent to exchange with you?" Prince Abdullah said with some apprehension. He could see that Fairbanks was going to win. BP is a multinational conglomerate in the top petrochemical industry with numerous patents, and Fudy Petroleum Holdings is no match for others. If Prince Abdullah had felt a little sorry before he learned about the Kausel Manor, but now it's different. Having an idea about Cowsel Manor, he naturally didn't want this matter to have any more complications.

"Then change," Fang Mingyuan said as he should, "Without the supply of 300,000 barrels of oil per day, I won't lose anything about this deal." ”

"But what about the manor of Kausel?" said Prince Abdullah, with some urgency.

"Abdullah" Prince Maktum pulled Prince Abdullah's clothes and said softly, "The calm party must have his thoughts"

"Maktum, Kausel Manor is the pearl that Allah gave me to the Kuwaiti royal family, no matter what, I have to find a way to get it back," Prince Abdullah said, "If ......" he originally wanted to say that if Fang Mingyuan agreed to BP's request, then he would come forward to meet Fudy Petroleum Holdings' request and change Kausel Manor. However, it occurred to him that there was no spring in this Kausel manor, and if he had answered the request of Fudy Petroleum Holdings, but Zuihou could not find a spring, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water?

However, if you want to determine the location of the spring in the Kautel Manor in advance, you must have Fang Mingyuan tell you the location of the spring, and you must be very cautious, otherwise once Fudy Petroleum Holding Company knows that there is a spring under the Kautel Manor, and then want to obtain the Kautel Manor from Fudy Oil Holding Company, the price paid will be at least ten times higher

"Prince Abdullah, don't worry, I can't miss you" Fang Mingyuan said with amusement in his heart, he still couldn't understand the importance that Weishenme Arabs attach to the spring.

Then an Arab came quickly to Prince Maktum and whispered a few words to him, and Prince Maktum's eyes immediately widened and looked very surprised, and he waved his hand, and the Arab retreated.

"Fang, I have just received a piece of news that Chen Hong, Secretary General of the International Decade for Disaster Reduction Committee and Vice Minister of Civil Affairs, has just held a press conference on the 'Disaster Relief Emergency Appeal' in the conference hall of the Capital Hotel in your capital, at which Vice Minister Chen Hong gave a detailed briefing to reporters from the international community on the disaster situation facing China this year, due to the large and wide range of losses caused by the disaster, hundreds of thousands of people are still homeless, and there are already people suffering from intestinal diseases and malaria, and a large number of roads, bridges and other facilities are in urgent need of repair. More than $200 million and various materials and equipment are needed to complete the above-mentioned disaster relief tasks. On behalf of the Chinese government, Chen Hong urgently appealed to relevant United Nations agencies, governments, international organizations, and all relevant parties of the international community to provide humanitarian relief assistance to the disaster area," said Prince Maktum with a solemn face.

"Huh?" Fang Mingyuan was also taken aback, although he said that he was in Kuwait, he still paid attention to the domestic water situation, and had to contact Lin Lian and Su Aijun every day to inquire about the local water situation. Judging from the information he obtained, although East China was still affected by serious floods, on the whole, the scope and number of people affected should still be far less than the East China flood in the previous life. However, the Chinese government still appealed to the international community for assistance, as it had done in previous lives, and the time was still somewhat advanced. Fang Mingyuan remembered very well that in his previous life, it should have been in July that the Huaxia government officially asked for foreign assistance. It seems that the wings of his butterfly are quite powerful

However, Fang Mingyuan was only taken aback, in his opinion, there is nothing to be embarrassed about asking for emergency disaster relief assistance from the outside world, developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan, when they are affected by disasters, also ask for assistance from Quan Shijie, and no one is embarrassed, and Huaxia is even more embarrassed. Moreover, although Huaxia has never asked for aid from the outside world, every time Shijie countries ask for assistance, they have to pay money every time.

If you want it, you have to do it a long time ago

"Fang, since your country has suffered such a serious natural disaster, for your sake, our brothers cannot remain indifferent. I'm going to donate a million dollars to your country, and you're going to procure supplies and transport them to the disaster area, what do you think?" said Prince Maktum.

"Then I'll donate a million dollars too," Prince Abdullah said without hesitation.

Fang Mingyuan shook his head again and again and said: "Prince Maktum, Prince Abdullah, according to the laws of our country, your donation must be donated to charities such as the Red Cross Society with government background under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. At least not on a large scale. As an individual, I have no right to receive or represent your charitable funds. That would get me in trouble. Of course, if the two of you don't seek fame and fortune and are willing to count this huge amount of money as my donation to the government, then that's no problem. ”

"What a strange rule," Prince Maktum frowned, he couldn't understand how weak Liliang, a private charity, was so weak in a country of billions of people.

"It's all handed over to government-backed charities, so who will supervise the use of these funds?" Prince Abdullah said in surprise, "Is it up to the government? Does that work?" "Although Kuwait is a monarchy, members of the royal family like them can have their own charitable foundations if they wish."

Fang Mingyuan shook his head with a wry smile, he really didn't know how to explain the domestic charity policy to Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah. He also couldn't understand that the Weishenme national government would be so strict in managing the private charities, because the historical Tian clan usurped Qi, or did the government just want to control the private donations in its hands, so as to achieve the goal of drawing blood from them

"The government is a beast locked in an iron cage, if you are not careful, it will rush out and devour people's lives" Fang Mingyuan was still full of good feelings for the government when he was a child, but after experiencing his previous life, he now recognizes this idea even more. So he has never been afraid to think about the government's actions from the worst perspective. But he thinks about it, when facing foreigners, he still hopes to be able to show the best side of the country and the government to outsiders.

After a brief discussion between Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah, the decision was made. The donation of 2 million US dollars will go to Fang Mingyuan's donation, and then Fang Mingyuan will buy disaster relief materials for them in China and transport them to the disaster area. As for whether the Huaxia government knew that these materials were donated by them, the two didn't care about it at all. After all, to put it bluntly, the two of them don't have any close feelings for Huaxia, and the reason why they are willing to donate is purely to take this opportunity to further close the relationship with Fang Mingyuan.

"If that's the case, dear Fang, we can donate more, so let's do it, Abdullah and I, a total of five million dollars to you. Prince Maktum said with a smile.

Fang Mingyuan shrugged, he understood what Prince Maktum meant, since it was a private donation, he was not worried that it would be announced by the Huaxia government, and the two of them naturally didn't have to care, in case one person's donation exceeded the national donation, it would cause dissatisfaction and embarrassment to the royal family.

Both of them are rich, and the five million dollars may not be enough for them to spend in Paris, so Fang Mingyuan did not refuse, so he should do good deeds for them. "Okay, I will give you a detailed list of the specific uses of these donations in the future. And you are welcome to send someone to oversee it. ”

Prince Maktum laughed a few times and said: "Fang, forget the overseer, we believe you, you can't look down on these millions of dollars." "How can a man who can throw a billion-dollar check to Prince Abdullah without blinking an eye reach out for a mere five million dollars, that is too tasteless

Fang Mingyuan nodded indifferently.

At this time, a grand signing ceremony was taking place in the Tyumen region of Western Siberia in the Soviet Union, and Kazuki Aso and the Soviet state-owned oil company formally reached an agreement to invest two billion rubles in the two important oil-producing areas of Samotrol and Sarem in the Tyumen oil field, so as to renovate the old oil production equipment of the two oil fields in batches and increase the exploration of the surrounding areas.

The radiant Aso Kazuki wandered among the high-ranking officials of the Soviet Union, blooming with a beautiful smile that enchanted the men, and this Japanese woman with a bit of mystery and a huge wealth that dazzled the Soviets became one of the most concerned foreign investors in the Soviet Union's top leadership in the past year.

"Finally, I lived up to Fang Shao's hopes, and won two of the famous oil fields in the Soviet Union, as long as this gap is broken, the following work will be much easier" Although Aso Kazuki wandered among the guests, he couldn't wait to inform Fang Mingyuan, who was far away in West Asia, of this news.
