On March 3, the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the large conference center on the third floor of the Crown Hotel in Shicheng District was full of applause and a warm atmosphere.

Today is the day when Miss Jiang Lingyu, a patriotic overseas Chinese, signed an investment contract with Shicheng District. After nearly half a month of investigation, Miss Jiang Lingyu and her entourage finally decided on the investment project.

According to the previous negotiations, Jiang Lingyu and Shicheng Li Group will jointly spend 680 million yuan to acquire all the properties of the original Hongda Group. Among them, Jiang Lingyu invested 544 million, accounting for 80% of the shares; The Lee family of Shicheng invested 136 million, accounting for 20% of the shares.

In addition, Jiang Lingyu will also spend 300 million yuan to import two automobile production lines from the United States and set up an automobile company. The main business direction of the automotive company is the production of light agricultural vehicles and cars.

In other words, Jiang Lingyu's total investment in Shicheng this trip was as high as 844 million, which exceeded 100 million US dollars according to the current exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar.

Such a large investment has given a shot in the arm to Shicheng District, which has just experienced violent officialdom turmoil, and has brought the economic development of Shicheng District back on track.

In order to show the importance of this investment, Hao Qingfeng, deputy mayor of Jiangzhou Municipal Government in charge of the economic sector, personally attended the investment signing ceremony. Also attending the ceremony were the main leaders of the Jiangzhou City Investment Promotion Department, as well as the main leaders of the Shicheng District Party Committee, the government, the National People's Congress and the CPPCC.

Vice Mayor Hao Qingfeng delivered an enthusiastic speech, praising Jiang Lingyu for still cherishing the patriotic feelings of the motherland while abroad. He also said that he was deeply honored to have such a fellow countryman who loves the motherland.

Jiang Lingyu's current identity, his ancestral home is indeed Donghai Province, and Hao Qingfeng was also born in Donghai Province, so he is really a fellow countryman.

Jiang Feng also sat in a corner of the conference center, looking at Hao Qingfeng who was flying on the rostrum, Jiang Feng remembered some things from his previous life.

This high-ranking official from Donghai Province will be an extremely important figure in the officialdom of Jiangzhou City in the next ten years. Jiang Feng remembered that in a few months, Hao Qingfeng would enter the core stratum of power in Jiangzhou City and enter the sequence of a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in this major readjustment of his positions within the party.

However, Jiang Feng does not have much affection for this evergreen tree in the officialdom of Jiangzhou City. In Jiang Feng's view, Hao Qingfeng is a very pure official, everything is aimed at climbing up, and he rarely does practical things. Although he has been in Jiangzhou for more than ten years, he has not left any great achievements.

However, Jiang Feng also knew that in the days to come, he would have a lot of opportunities to deal with this high-ranking official that he didn't quite agree with. Because, most of his current industries are in Jiangzhou City, and Hao Qingfeng will be the director of Jiangzhou City's economic sector in the next ten years, and it is impossible for Jiang Feng to bypass him.

In the venue, the happiest person is Wan Changling.

Not long ago, he overthrew several of his main competitors in the officialdom of Shicheng and completely controlled the officialdom of Shicheng; Now he has brought such a huge amount of foreign capital to Shicheng, which will bring him unimaginable political achievements.

With a single investment, the capital exceeded 100 million US dollars, reaching 40 percent of the foreign investment attracted by the city last year.

Wan Changling set his eyes on the corner below, where Jiang Feng was sitting.

Wan Changling knew very well that he was able to achieve this level, and Jiang Feng contributed a lot.

If it weren't for Jiang Feng, he would probably still be under Zong Haicheng's comprehensive suppression, and even he would probably be betrayed by the spies sent to him by Zong Haicheng, like Zong Haicheng now, who would have been sent to prison to eat in prison.

In the political struggle, even if you don't make a mistake, people can find a way to rectify you, not to mention that he Wan Changling is not the kind of official who is absolutely incorruptible. Especially the spy that Zong Haicheng sent to lurk beside him, or his cousin who Wan Changling has always had some ideas, if it weren't for Jiang Feng, maybe he was cleaned up by Zong Haicheng and didn't know what was going on. Because he would never suspect his cousin Huang Mei.

If he himself is sent to prison to stay, how can he talk about being the secretary of the district party committee? How to control Shicheng District? Not to mention making such a big political achievement and saving enough political capital for future promotion.

It seems that he will have to communicate more with this young man in the future, and take more care of his industry, Wan Changling thought.

In the evening, in a luxury box in the Tianlong Club, Jiang Feng and Lingxi No. 1 and Lingxi No. 2 were sitting and chatting.

"Lingyu, after returning to the United States this time, you will gradually transfer your main funds to oil futures." When several people were talking about future investment, Jiang Feng said.

Jiang Feng's words are naturally to prepare for a big event that will happen next year. And that big thing, of course, is the second Iraq war.

Oil is the lifeblood of the modern economy, and it maintains the social, economic, political, diplomatic and military ties of every country. In this world, whoever controls the oil controls the world. Therefore, the struggle for oil is not only an important goal of modern international political and diplomatic struggles, but also an important goal of modern international military struggles.

The United States has been plotting to seize control of the Gulf oil for a long time. After World War II, in the Arab-Israeli conflict that lasted for more than half a century, the United States unswervingly favored Israel and constantly gave financial blood transfusions and the latest weapons and equipment, and the United States loved Israel so much, and there was only one best explanation, that is, Israel's important strategic position in the great powers competing for Gulf oil: Israel was an important channel for Gulf oil to enter the Mediterranean Sea to Europe, and it was also the bridgehead for the United States to land in the Gulf region from the Mediterranean.

At the same time, the United States has chosen the major oil-producing countries on the north and south flanks of the Persian Gulf to establish its own foothold through alliances and pro-American regimes. Saudi Arabia, on the southern flank of the Persian Gulf, has one-quarter of the world's remaining proven oil reserves and the largest oil production capacity, and has an overwhelming dominant position in the oil production and export between the Gulf and OPEC. Iran, on the northern flank of the Persian Gulf, is not only rich in oil resources, but also has the Strait of Hormuz, an important channel for the export of oil from the Gulf to the rest of the world. To this end, the United States has carefully propped up the pro-American Pahlavi regime to echo Saudi Arabia on the southern flank.

However, in 1979, Iran's religious leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Ruhollah Khomeini's Islamic Revolution overthrew the Pahlavi regime. Subsequently, the United States supported and instigated Saddam Hussein to launch the Iran-Iraq war in 1980 in an attempt to stifle the new Iranian regime, which had not gained a foothold. Unexpectedly, this move not only failed but instead fueled Saddam's ambition to dominate the Gulf with his inflated military strength. In early 1991, when Iraqi troops occupied Kuwait and endangered Saudi Arabia, the Gulf War broke out between Western countries led by the United States and Saddam Hussein. The United States is justified in this war, but it also contains the evil intention of the United States to never allow Saddam Hussein to compete with him for control of the Gulf oil. On this point, the then US President George H.W. Bush made it very clear: "If the world's rich oil reserves fall into the hands of Saddam, our jobs, our way of life, our own freedom, and the freedom of friendly countries around the world will suffer!" Therefore, the United States has always regarded the Saddam regime as a thorn in its side, a thorn in the flesh, and it will want to get rid of it as soon as possible.

In the more than 10 years since the end of the Gulf War, the United States has resorted to political (cultivating the opposition of Saddam's regime), economic (imposing economic sanctions on Iraq through the United Nations), and even assassination, but has failed to achieve its goal of "overthrowing Saddam". In the aftermath of 9/11, the United States discovered that about 80 percent of those involved in the terrorist attacks and al-Qaeda suspects were Saudis, and that their financial resources were linked to some of the country's wealthies.

Iraq is located in the heart of the Gulf, where the northern and southern flanks of the Persian Gulf meet, and its strategic position is very important. In addition, Iraq is exceptionally rich in oil resources, with its remaining proven oil reserves reaching 112.5 billion barrels; Its western desert is also a virgin unexplored land with great oil promises, with a claimed 220 billion barrels of oil. Therefore, the control of Iraq by the United States is conducive to controlling the entire Gulf region from the north and south flanks.

However, the abundant oil resources of the Gulf are not only the target of the United States to seize from the Arabs, but also the target of other great powers to compete with them. France, Germany, Russia, and other countries have already set their sights on Iraqi oil during the period when the United Nations imposed economic sanctions on Iraq, and the three countries have taken advantage of the hostile relationship between the United States and Iran to sign oil contracts worth billions of dollars with the Saddam regime respectively, and have become the main creditors of Iraq's huge foreign debts (according to US media reports, among the foreign debts owed by Iraq, the number one creditor is Saudi Arabia, which reaches $25 billion, and France and Russia rank second and third, with between $8 billion and $9 billion each); France and Germany also relied on imports for more than 90 percent of their own and the EU's oil, and in the future they would have to rely on imports from the Gulf region in particular. If the United States can lift its economic sanctions against Iraq before the United States "resides in the country's control of Iraq," the huge oil contracts signed by the three countries with Iraq can be implemented in a logical manner, and their oil interests can be realized.
