Qusay borrowed 200 billion US dollars from Saudi Arabia through Prince Sultan, and returned 300 billion US dollars to Saudi Arabia at an interest rate of 50.00% within three months.

At that time, it was said to return $60 billion in interest to Saudi Arabia, but after the operation was over, Qusay generously paid back $40 billion more because he made more money himself.

Prince Fahd did not know what Qusay did with the money, but the only way to make money was international financial investment. At that time, the famous Hong Kong dollar crisis occurred in the East, and the British economy was In this crisis, they were hit hard, but many international investors made a lot of money in the midst of it, and some of them failed to withdraw their funds in time, lost nothing, and even committed suicide by jumping off the building.

At the time of Lenovo, Qusay must have been involved in this activity. The most important thing is that Qusay started preparations before the crisis broke out. With clear judgment, this is inferior to any investor, even the experts of the Kuwait Investment Authority, which is famous for its investment.

Therefore, when Qusay mentioned this matter, King Fahd immediately knew that this time, this young man was about to raise the financial butcher knife again, but who was his lamb this time?

Qu Sailai didn't come to ask him for money, but came to him to make a fortune together.

"So, how much money do you need?" King Fahd asked.

Seeing King Fahd's expression, Qusay knew that by mentioning this incident, he would be able to impress the king. This time, if Iraq has enough funds, it will definitely do it alone, and the benefits will be greater, but, Iraq's current spread is too large, and there is a feeling that it can't make ends meet, and Qusay puts the backing of these on the financial hype this time, and wants to compete with the capital of the United States and Japan. Sufficient funds, there is no confidence!

How much capital is needed?Considering that financial leverage can be magnified by ten times through borrowing and mortgages, if you ask Saudi Arabia for 500 billion U.S. dollars, you can use it as 5000 billion U.S. dollars. In addition, Ousheng Company, Kingdom Construction Company and Iraqi zhèngfǔ can make up for it. 80 billion US dollars, this is 800 million, 800 billion, is it enough?This is already equivalent to a quarter of the combined GDP of the United States and Japan that year.Moreover, more international investors followed up.

"$500 billion," Qusay said.

500 billion US dollars is definitely not a small amount for Saudi Arabia. I wonder if Qusay will scare King Fahd.

"Okay, then we will come up with 500 billion U.S. dollars, and at the same time, our royal family will give 100 billion U.S. dollars." King Fahd said.

Chapter 900 Rich Harvest

Although it is said that the Saudi royal family is rich, Qusay still doesn’t know that they can be so rich. Seeing King Hudd’s investment of 100 billion US dollars, it seems to be giving pocket money to a little prince.

There are almost no investment projects in Saudi Arabia. The huge oil revenue has allowed Saudi Arabia to live a wealthy life. Therefore, these funds are not a big problem for Saudi Arabia. Anyway, the money is saved, so it is better to make an investment. , to obtain high returns.

"The time for this investment may be longer." Qu Sai said: "Initial estimates, it will take one to two years."

"The longer the time, the greater the benefits?" King Fahd said.

"In terms of income, based on the two-year term, we can return 3000 billion US dollars to Saudi Arabia at that time," Qusay said.

$3000 billion!King Fahd's eyes lit up, it was so worth it!In two years, this amount of funds has increased by five times. Even the Kuwait Investment Authority may not have such confidence, right?

Regarding this point, Qusay has full confidence. Even if he does not carry out any other activities, with the 600 billion U.S. dollars, he can get 6000 billion U.S. dollars through loans. Double the income, and then invest in the securities and real estate markets, and get three times the income. In this way, a huge income of 4000 trillion US dollars will be returned to Saudi Arabia. 3000 billion, Iraq can still have a net surplus of [-] trillion , what is this concept?All the funds for Iraq's development within a few years are available.

What's more, Qusay has more plans.

After thinking about it, King Fahd said again: "Our royal family, let's raise another 100 million US dollars."

Think about it, to have such a high income, instead of keeping those funds, it is better to use all of them to make a fortune. This 100 million US dollars will be another 500 million after two years.

King Fahd did not ask what kind of project Qusay was engaged in. He already had a hunch that something big would happen internationally in a short time.

Qusay came to Saudi Arabia and met King Fahd, of course it was more than this.After talking about this project, Qusay said again: "Your Majesty, I heard that the first E-3 pre-warning plane of your country's air force is about to arrive at the Saudi air force base from the United States?"

Hearing what Qusay said, King Fahd knew what Qusay meant.The importance of the early warning aircraft to the air force has been well confirmed in these wars. Therefore, the Saudi Air Force is very much looking forward to the arrival of these early warning aircraft.

In order to win over Saudi Arabia, consolidate the alliance between the two sides, and at the same time make money from exports, the United States agreed to export the E-3 early warning aircraft to Saudi Arabia. This is a strategic early warning aircraft, and it is very easy to match the existing US-made Saudi Air Force. The fighter jets are connected to the data link, which is convenient for command.

Could it be that Qusay wants to "lease" the Saudi Air Force's pre-warning plane?This young man is very thick-skinned and dares to ask for anything. If he proposes an early warning like renting, it is difficult for him to refuse, so why not make Prince Sultan depressed for many days?

"Yes, it's coming soon. After that, we can conduct a joint exercise with the Iraqi Air Force. This time, our Saudi Air Force's pre-warning plane can be used as an air command plane." King Fahd said our Saudi Air Force's pre-warning plane The word "machine" is very heavy.

Hearing Prince Fahd's stingy words, Qusay knew that he had misunderstood.Although Qusay is also very jealous of the advanced performance of the E-3 pre-warning aircraft, the Saudi Air Force still cannot let it go.

When all the early warning planes ordered by the Saudi Air Force are in place, maybe the Iraqi Air Force will be able to study them carefully.

"I mean, now that Saudi Arabia has the E-3 early warning aircraft, it is a great improvement for the Air Force, and the Air Force has found that if it wants to protect Saudi Arabia's existing airspace, these early warning aircraft are still Not enough, but it would be too wasteful to purchase a few more E-3 early warning aircraft. In order to supplement the blind spots, the Saudi Air Force proposed to purchase a few more E-3 early warning aircraft that are lower than the E-2. Agree?" Qusay said.

E-2 pre-warning machine?King Fahd didn't know what Qusay was talking about. The huge body of the E-3 pre-warning machine can accommodate several groups of members, and the time in the sky can reach 2 hours. After all the orders from Saudi Arabia arrive, it will be enough Well, what E-[-] do you still use?The Saudi Air Force simply doesn't like that kind of small carrier-based early warning aircraft.

What Qusay said naturally had a deep meaning, so King Fahd was waiting for Qusay's words.

"After the arrival of these E-2 pre-warning planes, some pilots of your country's air force defected to Iraq. For this reason, the diplomatic relations between our two countries have been greatly affected." Qu Sai said.

In fact, at this point, King Fahd already understood that it was the Iraqi Air Force who wanted this kind of early warning aircraft!

"Isn't it because of the good relationship with the United States that Iraq has already obtained several E-2 early warning planes?" King Fahd asked.

"Yes, but there are only six of these planes, which are not enough for Iraq. Moreover, the performance is relatively low. They are products of the United States ten years ago. The change of electronic technology is very fast, so we need the latest E -2 pre-alarm, our face in Iraq is still not big enough." Qusay sighed.

The United States will not sell the most advanced E-2 pre-warning aircraft to Iraq, but for Saudi Arabia, it is different. The E-3 obtained by Saudi Arabia is definitely only available to the closest allies of the United States. A friendly gesture to try to win over Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has E-3, and E-2 is even simpler. Therefore, if Saudi Arabia orders E-2, it will definitely be able to order.

What does Qusay want to do?Isn't six E-2s enough?

Of course not enough!

Because, a complete carrier-based aircraft fleet requires an early warning aircraft squadron and five E-2 early warning aircraft, so that when one is maintained for maintenance, four aircraft can provide 24-hour uninterrupted cruise.

Even if five are needed, Iraq now has six, isn't that enough?

Not enough, absolutely not enough, because Iraq will have at least two aircraft carrier formations!In addition to the one ordered by Iraq, the other one has already entered Qusay's eyes. The aircraft carrier that also has catapults will definitely be brought to Iraq by Qusay.

In other words, Iraq needs at least ten carrier-based early warning aircraft.Naturally, there is still a gap in the warning machine.

Although it is still a bit early to prepare now, one very important reason why Iraq can obtain this kind of early warning aircraft is that no one would have thought that Iraq is buying early warning aircraft to equip its own aircraft carrier formation!

Up to now, the Iraqi navy is still the near-water navy, which can only show off its prestige in the Persian Gulf. Every time the navy plays, it still relies on the Saudi navy to support its appearance.The United States can agree to export those E-2B early warning aircraft to Iraq, which is also a big reason. Although the E-2 is a carrier-based early warning aircraft, it has also been purchased by many countries as a land-based early warning aircraft. In use, for example, Israel has five, and the island nation has eleven.

These are all projects completed when Iraq has no ocean-going navy and no aircraft carrier. After the news that Iraq has an aircraft carrier comes out, the United States will never export to Iraq any kind of equipment that can be used on an aircraft carrier.

Therefore, Iraq must seize the opportunity now. What Iraq gets is the original model. It is a very important event for Iraq to buy a few newer models through Saudi Arabia. Ordering now will take two or three years to arrive. After that, the United States will definitely be vigilant.

"We in Iraq are willing to provide the funds for these pre-warning aircraft, as long as Saudi Arabia orders it." Qusay said.

"We in Saudi Arabia can order. As for the funds, we in Saudi Arabia will also pay in advance. It is just a deposit. After two years, this batch of pre-warning machines will arrive. Our investment will have results, right? These funds, just Think of it as a return on the investment of Iraqi operation funds." King Fahd said.

If 500 billion U.S. dollars has changed to 3000 billion U.S. dollars, then, Saudi Arabia can still take out several early warning planes with a total price of about one billion U.S. dollars at most.

Michael returned to the office of the FBI. This operation, as expected, did not yield any results. In fact, when he got out of the elevator and saw the half-bowed islander, Michael knew that he probably had nothing to gain. Yes, they are definitely ready.

"Director, tomorrow, we will search the production workshop of the machine tool division, look for those production records, and see if they correspond to the sales records," said a subordinate.

"Production records? How is that possible! Do you want to search for the whereabouts of a screw? If they produce more spare parts, they can save a lathe!" Michael said.

Their investigation must be fruitless, how to explain to the higher authorities?

"Ding..." The phone on the desk rang.

"Hello," Michael picked up the phone, and he said in English habitually.
