43: Difficult tasks

These are five oil fields! Even the oil field with the smallest reserves has an oil production value far exceeding four billion US dollars. If it weren't for the war, he would have thought this was a joke.

But the situation was different now. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to respond calmly:

"Isn't your request too excessive?"

Xu Ning smiled and said, "I think this is very reasonable. This is just the first condition. I also want to get the manufacturing technology for Dog Bear special steel. You must help me get it no matter what."

Hassan took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

"I am only the Ambassador and do not have such authority, but I can convey your conditions to Saddam Commander."

"However..."

"I hope you can make a wise choice."

"Of course, I am not an insatiable person," Xu Ning said calmly.

Five oil fields plus special steel technology, and he still says he's not insatiable?

Hassan had already cursed Xu Ning several times in his heart.

"I am determined to get the previous offer, but I am willing to offer extra things in exchange."

Xu Ning continued, "I will give you twenty of our latest developed BH90 Tanks, each worth eight million US dollars. If you need more in the future, I can give you a discount."

"Moreover, you will have priority ordering rights for all our new weapons in the future."

Hearing this, Hassan's heart was filled with murmurs again.

Can the Rabbit Country's tanks really be used on the battlefield?

And other weapons? Besides that air defense system, what else do you have that's presentable?

Although he was unimpressed by what Xu Ning called "benefits," he still agreed to convey the information to Saddam Commander and promised to reply in the afternoon, then hung up the phone.

After the conversation, Xu Ning stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sunrise outside, feeling particularly happy.

With this funding, Longhai Industry will be even stronger!

The dream of surpassing the four major military industrial giants is no longer distant.

His stomach rumbled at this moment.

It was time to eat.

He didn't wake Xiao Jianhao, who was still sleeping soundly next door, but went to the downstairs buffet restaurant alone and had a hearty meal. After eating and drinking his fill, he called Company Commander Tang.

Soon, Company Commander Tang's special car stopped at the hotel entrance to pick him up and take him to the branch company.

The car drove into an industrial park.

Looking at the busy crowds and rows of factory buildings around, even with some preparation, Xu Ning was still surprised.

He couldn't help but ask, "Brother He Fu, how far are we from the branch company? Which row of factory buildings is ours?"

Company Commander Tang showed a hint of a smug smile and said, "We've already arrived."

"Ah?" Xu Ning looked at him in disbelief.

"Didn't expect it, did you? The entire industrial park is ours."

Xu Ning's eyes widened. So this was the surprise mentioned last night.

Looking at the factory buildings in front of him, he felt that this place was not just big, it was vast!

Company Commander Tang had a look of pride on his face.

"This place is 700,000 square meters, equivalent to 7,000 football fields."

"Outside are the factory buildings, and inside there are various living facilities, making it very convenient for work and life."

"All the employees are experienced old workers with exquisite craftsmanship and reasonable prices."

He held up his finger and gestured, "Eight hundred million, we only spent eight hundred million Renminbi to acquire this place."

"Brother He Fu, you are truly amazing," Xu Ning praised sincerely.

Company Commander Tang always managed to give him pleasant surprises in this regard.

"Didn't the other party suffer a huge loss?"

"Alas, this place was originally a large chemical plant that relied on Iraq's oil for processing and export."

"But now Turkey, under pressure from the United States, has cut off the oil pipeline."

"Without the supply of raw materials, this company could not operate normally and could only barely maintain itself."

When I took over, the company was already in trouble, and the Boss even planned to flee. And now that we have taken over the operation, it can be considered a great help to them.

Xu Ning recalled the United States' variousoverbearing actions in his previous life: trade wars, economic blockades, financial suppression. Clearly, it had already made enemies everywhere back then. If it hadn't easily defeated Iraq last time, other countries wouldn't have been so afraid of it.

This time, he was determined to reveal the true face of the United States and make it understand that bullying the weak would not have a good outcome. Thinking of this, he clenched his fists, making a crackling sound.

After getting out of the car, Company Commander Tang pulled him around the workshops. When he pushed open the door of a factory building, Xu Ning was stunned. Several complete air defense missile systems were placed inside.

"Brother He Fu, what's going on?" he asked.

Company Commander Tang explained that this was Company Commander Tang's idea, and everyone thought it was feasible. "You are risking your life in Iraq, we have to do something to support you," he said. "This is the result of our week's work. Even if we can't sell it, it won't affect the cash flow."

"Currently, only ten sets of [BH90 Medium-Range Air Defense Missile System] and more than twenty [BH90 Tanks] have been produced. Once a large order is received, they can be shipped at any time."

Xu Ning felt again how good it was to have Company Commander Tang and others. Although he was confident in his plan, the sooner the first batch of goods was delivered, the better, in case the United States took sudden action.

Seeing these ten air defense systems, he finally felt a little relieved. At least the safety of Iraq's airspace was temporarily not a concern.

"Well done!" he praised.

Then, Company Commander Tang took him to visit the living area and tasted local food in the cafeteria, but he felt that Chinese food was still more delicious.

Ambassador Hassan called earlier than expected. It seemed that the situation in Iraq was very tense. Otherwise, they wouldn't have accepted his conditions so quickly.

"Factory Factory Director Xu, Commander Saddam has agreed to your terms," the Ambassador said. "We will pay four billion US dollars and provide five oil fields in exchange for one hundred air defense systems. Also, two steel experts from Russia will be handed over to you."

The Ambassador seemed a bit reluctant when mentioning these two experts, as they had gone to great lengths to invite them from Russia, hoping they would contribute to Iraq's industrial development, but they unexpectedly ended up being used by others.

"Very good, since you are so decisive, we can sign the contract immediately," Xu Ning said with a smile.

"But..." The Ambassador paused, "The Commander has a small request. He hopes that you can deliver at least twenty air defense systems within a week. If you cannot do so, we only need to reclaim three oil fields."

The Ambassador showed a slight smile. This proposal was reached after much discussion.

According to expert analysis and investigation, Longhai Industry can produce at most twelve to thirteen sets of equipment per week, which is its production capacity limit.

And proposing a target of twenty sets is a task that seems achievable but is actually difficult to accomplish.

In this way, they can legitimately reclaim three oil fields, thereby significantly reducing their losses.

Since the conditions were quite generous, they believed that Xu Ning would not refuse this proposal.
