Volume III Aftermath 23 deceives the king of Egypt

"Elaine, maybe we won't go to China, Mr. William has found me a job, I'm going to Nanyang" Back in the room, Dai Chuanxin said to Elaine.

"Oh, Mr. William is such a good man, he has helped us a lot. In the words of you Chinese, marry a chicken and marry a dog with a dog, and I will follow you wherever you go. Elaine said a lame sentence of "marry a chicken and marry a dog with a dog", which made Dai Chuanxin a little surprised.

"Ha, this is what Miss Laura taught me, it's great," Elaine said happily, bringing her head closer to Dai Chuanxin's arms.

Dai Chuanxin was a little moved. He looked at Elaine with fine skin and tender meat, and Dai Chuanxin felt that his choice was right. Not to mention how Elaine integrated into his family, did he want this woman to follow her farming and become a rough yellow-faced woman?

The William entered the Mediterranean Sea from the Strait of Gibraltar and headed east to Port Said in Egypt, where thousands of ships competed with merchant ships and warships. After the end of the war, this golden waterway was revitalized again.

Looking at the rice-shaped flags floating around, Situ Nan was a little unhappy, but also helpless. The Mediterranean Sea is the Mediterranean of the British, and Suez is the Suez of the British, and even the entire Middle East is British.

"The sun never sets, the empire is really domineering, the world's golden waterways and strategic positions are occupied by them, and it is not okay to disobey." Situ Nan thought.

The blue and calm Mediterranean water came into his eyes, and the deep blue made him a little sad and discouraged, why? Because here, the Rice Flag is more effective than the Star-Spangled Banner on the William. Knowing that the Persian Gulf contains countless amounts of oil, Western oil companies cannot extract oil here.

Yes. It's a no-brainer. Because the United States monopolized the world oil trade during the war, in view of the importance of oil, the British government banned foreign oil companies from entering the country to engage in oil exploration and exploitation business, which means that there is no opportunity for American oil companies in the Middle East, India, Myanmar and other oil-producing areas. So, even if Situ Nan knew that there was a lot of oil along the Persian Gulf coast, he couldn't extract it.

This gave him a reason to hate the British, not only the Western oil companies, but also the oil giants such as Mobil Oil and Gulf Oil could not get used to the hegemony of the British, but unfortunately they were helpless for a while.

Speaking of which, we have to mention a company called Turkish Oil Company, which was originally a joint holding company established by the Turkish government and the German government on the eve of the war, and has a business engaged in oil exploration and production in the Middle East. If the Germans had won the war, the oil of the Middle East would have fallen into the hands of the Germans. Well, before the war, Turkey also controlled large swaths of the Middle East such as Jordan, Iraq, and Iran.

The defeated Turkey was dismembered, and large swaths of land such as Iran and Iraq were now occupied by the British in the name of an international trusteeship. The Turkish Petroleum Company, which has extensive oil rights in the Middle East, was also divided between Britain and France, Anglo-Polish Oil Company 47.5, Shell Oil Company 22.5%, French Petroleum Company 25 (inherited from Germany), and Gulben 5.

There's nothing about the Americans here. It can be seen that Europe rejects the United States. So in the next ten or twenty years, it is not difficult to imagine that there will be a dirty conflict between Britain and the United States for the sake of oil.

"Yimin, do you think there is any way to intervene in the Middle East?" Situ Nan asked. His hand rested on the globe, stroking the Middle East on the globe with nostalgia, and there was indescribable envy in his eyes.

"The Middle East? Why meddle here? There is not even a drop of water, and there seems to be nothing worth investing in except tobacco and cotton. Lin Yimin was a little strange about Situ Nan's question.

"It's better to invest in South Africa if you have money, which is much richer than North Africa." Lin Yimin replied again.

"No, no, no. North Africa is much more important than South Africa, especially the Middle East. Look, the world of the future will go crazy for this. Situ Nan smiled mysteriously and came to a conclusion.

There are not many things in this world that can make Situ Nan obsessed, is it??????

Lin Yimin seemed to have thought of something.

"Or can we invest in farms, grow some tobacco, cotton or something?" Lin Yimin said tentatively.

Tu Nan nodded, and then ordered, "You go and contact the local chieftain to see if you can buy some land from them." ”？？？？？？

When the William arrived in Port Said, Egypt, it rained lightly, and the weather was much cooler. Situ Nan went ashore in a good mood, and the strong Arabian style came to his face, seeing the white robes, small turbans, bearded men all over the street, and women wrapped tightly, the style of the eyes made people feel mysterious.

"This is the amorous Arab girl? Is there a belly dance to watch? Situ Nanmei thought.

"Okay, when we get to Egypt, we can finally go and see the pyramids." Laura said excitedly.

Laura's wish came true two days later, as Situ Nan and the others finally arrived in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. On the outskirts of Cairo, on the plains of the yellow sand and the grass grows, there are mausoleums made of tall boulders, and the pharaohs have maintained their superhuman grandeur after their deaths, looking silently and majestically at the people on the banks of the Nile.

"Oh, it's so beautiful, it's hard to imagine, how did those people do it?" Laura constantly marvels at the magic of the pyramids.

Situ Nan rode on his horse, ignoring Laura's exclamation, just looking at the pyramids in the distance, but thinking about the next visit to the king of Egypt in the palace.

The internal and foreign affairs of Egypt were in the hands of the British consuls, but Ahmed, as the king of Egypt? Fouad still has a lot of power.

If you have the right to ask for the market, Situ Nan wants to invest and buy land in Egypt and open up contacts with other Arab sheikhs, the best choice is Ahmed, who has only been on the throne for two years? Fouad.

In 1914, Ahmed? Hussein, the father of Fouad? Kamil overthrew his nephew, Abbasid II, usurped the throne, and died two years later, passing the throne to his son Ahmed? Fouad ......

The current King Ahmed? How talented Situ Nan is Situ Nan didn't know, but when he walked into the Egyptian summer palace that covers an area of more than 150 hectares and is surrounded by dense forests, Situ Nan knew that this is a shallow star? br/>

"Hello, Mr. William, welcome to the Summer Palace." Ahmed? Fouad's London accent of English was refreshing to Situ Nan, and all he had heard in his ears these days was fast and complex Arabic.

Obviously, under the long-term colonial notice of the British, the Arab upper class was relatively "Westernized", and many nobles studied in Britain.

The traditional Arab dress, nothing more than a glittering crown, sparkling ornaments, and smooth silk robes, made Ahmed? Fouad looked noble and generous.

"Hello, honorable king" Situ Nan made a slight gesture to make Ahmed? Fouad was delighted.

"I didn't expect Mr. William to be so young, I thought he was an experienced gentleman." Ahmed? Fouad laughed. He knew that the young man in front of him was a leader of an American consortium, with countless assets in his hands and profound influence in the United States, so he did not dare to slack off.

After some greetings, Situ Nan expressed his intentions.

"Egypt is a wonderful place, rich and steeped in history, and I've always wanted to come and see it. Now it's finally happening. Oh, His Majesty the King, to tell you the truth, I found that there are many investment opportunities here, and I hope to get the support of His Majesty the King. "Situ Nandao.

"Oh?" Ahmed? Fouad raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. William values?" ”

"The specific location has not yet been determined, probably in the Suez Bay Area, to engage in some construction industry or agriculture or something." Situ Nan calmly looked at Ahmed on the other side? Fouad. Of course, he can't sue the other party, hey, I'm digging for oil, sell it to me

"Mr. Wilhelm also has a crush on the port of Suez?" Ahmed? Fouad glanced at Situ Nan suspiciously, and thought: whether it is the British or the Americans, they are coming towards that canal, right? It's a pity that the river area is in the hands of Britain and France, and it is not the business of the Egyptian government

Thinking of this, Ahmed? A hint of mockery appeared on Fouad's face, he would not offend the British.

"I naturally see the value of Port Suez, but the British are not so easy to talk to, hehe. I just want to grow some cotton outside of Port Suez and open a building materials factory or something. ”

Situ Nan shook his head and explained with a smile.

"Oh, that's a good idea."

Ahmed? Fouad's heart relaxed. Except for the port of Suez, there is almost no industry on the coast of the Gulf of Suez, agriculture is not developed, and it is sparsely populated, to put it bluntly, it is a barren land, which has never been an important place for the Egyptian government, and it does not matter if it is sold to the other party, and it will not cause dissatisfaction among the British.

"I wonder how much land Mr. William is going to buy?" Ahmed? Fouad asked. Although he knew that the other party was coming from Europe on a luxury cruise ship, he had not yet seen Situ Nan's financial resources.

"10,000 hectares or more, the better," Situ Nan replied without thinking.

"What?" This kind of scares Ahmed? Fouad too. Although the royal family also owns a large area of land and is also very wealthy, such a casual talk about buying 10,000 hectares of land has to let Ahmed? Fouad was surprised.

Situ Nan is very satisfied with Ahmed? Fuuad's expression, he smiled inwardly, and finally calmed you.

"Now that international cotton prices are rising, my economic adviser told me that the cotton industry here in Egypt is worth investing in. Hehe, the first time I tried it, I didn't dare to invest too much. Situ Nan said with a serious face.

This involves hundreds of thousands of dollars in land transactions, or a small investment?

Ahmed? Fouad replied.

Looks like just an ordinary deal, Ahmed? Fouad didn't notice anything wrong, so he agreed to Situ Nan's request. Of course, such a large piece of land could not be sold to Situ Nan lightly. In the end, Situ Nan only got 4,000 hectares of land in his hands, which is already a lot. In order to hide people's eyes, Situ Nan opened an agricultural company in Egypt and planted 500 hectares of cotton, and the rest of the land was sandy and could not be planted.

Due to the lack of food in Egypt, when Situ Nan offered to exchange grain for land, Ahmed? Fouad thought about it for a moment and immediately agreed.

&nbf2fsp;Ahmed, who has benefited from hundreds of thousands of dollars? Fouad was in a good mood. When Situ Nan offered to introduce other Arab sheikhs, he gladly accepted.

The poor man did not know that his momentary generosity had given one of Egypt's most precious oil fields to Situ Nan.
