While Feng Yu was waiting for good news about the California consortium, Ralph reported to Feng Yu that there was a person who wanted to meet Feng Yu. ．Fastest update
This man is a Saudi prince.
There are many princes in Saudi Arabia, more than a thousand. Everyone has the right to succeed the king. However, there are only a few who really have the potential to rise to the top. Most of them only have a small stake in a small oil field, and their daily lives consist of eating, drinking and having fun.
Anyway, most of them are unlikely to reach a higher position, so it is better to adopt the attitude of a happy prince and live a happier life.
Some princes do not have the right to inherit, but that does not mean that their children do not have the right to inherit. According to their rules, if their children perform very well, they may reach high positions.
This prince is called Azban, and he is one of the more powerful princes, but he is not the first in line to succeed, not even the top three, so he can be considered rich, but compared to Feng Yu, he is a poor man.
"Ralph, what does this Azban want from me? What does he do?" Feng Yu doesn't have much business dealings with Saudi Arabia. He doesn't invest in the oil or natural gas industry, he just occasionally speculates in this type of energy. futures.
Even if someone now knows that Feng Yu has the strength to join forces, it should be a more important person to contact Feng Yu, and it is not the turn of such a little prince.
"Boss, the assets this person inherited are mainly mining and agriculture."
This is interesting. In Saudi Arabia, the main assets inherited are not energy or chemicals, but they are actually ranked relatively high.
Saudi Arabia basically does not export food, but fruits are also exported. Of course, more is imported.
In terms of minerals, the quantities they mine are not large, and most of them need to be imported. The main reason is that their mining technology is average and they do not spend too much money on investment. They think it is more cost-effective to invest in crude oil and natural gas mining.
Could it be said that this prince plans to cooperate with Feng Yu in mining and agriculture? But this kind of business can be decided by Ralph himself, right
Ralph continued: "Boss, he wants to cooperate with Lituo Group in mineral mining and smelting, and he also wants to cooperate with Beidacang today in the import and export of agricultural and sideline products."
"He is not only the largest agricultural and sideline products company owner in Saudi Arabia, but also the largest in the entire Islamic country. If we cooperate with him, it will be of certain benefit to both Lituo Group and Beidacang Group."
Feng Yu looked at the big screen: "Well, what next?"
Since he is actively seeking cooperation and Ralph has not yet agreed, then the other party must have a request and hope to fulfill it through Feng Yu.
Do you want to do business with China, or do you have other ideas
"He wants to be the Saudi Minister of Agriculture, and he hopes his boss can support him."
Being in this position means giving up the opportunity to compete for the crown prince. The difference between a prince and a crown prince is huge. In fact, he has no chance at all. There are too many people better than him. Even if the king and the crown prince die at the same time, there will be deputy ministers, ministers of petroleum and minerals, etc., and he will not be able to get his turn.
But did he find the wrong person? Feng Yu has nothing to do with the Saudi royal family, and he can't talk to him there at all.
"Ralph, tell me more."
"The king of Saudi Arabia is not in good health and is already eighty-five years old. Although their money is enough to ensure that he enjoys the best medical conditions, the environment in Saudi Arabia is actually not suitable for maintaining good health."
"This Azban was originally favored by the King of Saudi Arabia, so he inherited many mineral and agricultural assets. However, now that the Crown Prince has already determined that his relationship with the Crown Prince is not close enough, he is worried that after the old King passes away, he will not have the opportunity to move to a higher level. position."
In Saudi Arabia, moving to a higher position means having more wealth.
This person wanted to confirm his position while the old king was around, so as not to have anything to do with him if the old king suddenly left in the future.
"He wants to sign a series of long-term cooperation agreements with us as his political bargaining chip. And he will import a large amount of our products in return. If these agreements can be signed, I have calculated that our two The company’s revenue is likely to increase by at least 2%.”
Two percent seems like a small increase. But taking into account the huge asset scale of Fengyu Holdings and Taihua Holdings, it is really not a small amount.
The profit brought by this 2% growth is a goal that many companies cannot achieve even after struggling for a lifetime.
"Another point is that he is a member of Alwaleed's business tycoon circle, which may bring us more other hidden benefits."
Alwaleed, known as Buffett of the Middle East, has invested in the stocks of many world-renowned companies and is also a Saudi real estate tycoon. But this is a prince who has been permanently deprived of access to Saudi Arabia’s top leadership, so now he only cares about making money.
However, some people say that this man has helped Saudi Arabia secretly make many deals, and he will definitely be given the opportunity in the future to return his children to the line of royal heirs.
If it was Alwaleed, then Feng Yu would still be interested in getting to know him. Just ask where that little prince got so much energy. It turns out there is this Middle Eastern prince standing behind him.
"If that's the case, there's no need to meet me. You can just discuss this matter with Liu Chuanzhi and decide. Does Alwaleed want to meet me?"
"Yes, they don't have much contact with the boss's circle, so they contacted you through me."
Feng Yu supported his chin with one hand and knocked on the table with the other, slowly thinking about the pros and cons. If it was just a matter of doing business, of course Feng Yu would welcome it, but there were some political intentions mixed into it, which forced Feng Yu to think carefully.
It would be great if this person could be appointed as the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources. Only then would it be worthwhile for Feng Yu to take action. Feng Yu was just a minister of agriculture, so he was not very interested.
But after weighing it in my mind, it seemed like I didn’t need to pay much more. And another advantage of doing business there is that you can do high-end publicity.
Even the food imported from Saudi Arabia must be good. The electronic products that all Saudi princes like are definitely the best. In the eyes of many people, the princes in Saudi Arabia buy the most expensive ones, and the poor ones only have money left.
"Okay, promise him, but I hope he comes with Alwaleed. Which country will he choose to meet in?" Feng Yu will not go to Saudi Arabia, and it is estimated that the two will not come to China.
"They hope to be in Europe, it depends on what the boss wants."
"Well, let's decide on the UK. Inform them that I will go to London in three days. I hope we can negotiate an agreement that day." I have to remind the other party that the conditions are better, otherwise the negotiation will take too long, Feng Yu can afford it, but I wonder if Azban can afford it.
