Chapter 449: Buying the Floating Island

The afternoon in Egypt was really hot. After the talks were over, Li Xiwen didn't want to go anywhere. She just wanted to go home and change her clothes. Liu Jinpeng was also glad that he didn't have to accompany the diplomatic officials to conduct multiple rounds of negotiations, but before the final result came out, he and His Royal Highness the Princess could not leave Egypt for the time being. Said said that they could arrange for them to go to cities around Cairo, and it would be fine to go to Egypt or Alexander, and Liu Jinpeng had to consider it.

Li Xiwen's purpose of staying in Egypt is naturally not to mention. If there is anything that cannot be decided, she is the first to learn the news. Of course, Li Jingwen has to make a decision on the big things, but she can decide on the spot for ordinary big things. This not only keeps it confidential but also reduces the intermediate links and increases efficiency, so she cannot leave Cairo too far.

What's more, the hottest time in Egypt is between June and October, and the temperature may reach more than 40 degrees during this period and even in the morning. There are basically not many tourists going out to play in this weather. Li Xiwen naturally doesn't want to be sunburned as a woman, so she can only have fun in the indoor swimming pool.

Playing with Li Xiwen is something that Liu Jinpeng will never get bored. However, he is busy today, and he has almost been calling and has no time to go into the water. Naturally, he can't tease the little lady in the white-tie in Langli. In the Arabic-style villas on Bushra Island, there are LCD TVs by the swimming pool. Liu Jinpeng received a call and started paying attention to the news.

The news content on TV is actually very simple. Due to the recent surge in oil prices, the increase of more than $29 in just two months, OPEC, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, began to decide to increase production with the intention of calming oil prices. This decision was opposed by some oil exporters, including two oil giants in North America. They even used the North American Petroleum Association to protest, but did not change OPEC's decision.

The United States also wanted to mobilize the Organization of Petroleum Importing Countries to make a resolution, but unfortunately most member states did not argue with this, neither explicitly supported nor opposed it, so the proposal was finally left unresolved. Americans' own TV commentators all joked that they couldn't understand it. Those who sell oil should lower the price, and those who buy oil should not lower the price. It is not that we are too behind the times but that the world is changing rapidly.

Liu Jinpeng was enjoying watching it. Li Xiwen was bored by herself. She simply climbed up to watch it with him. She picked up her own tropical drink from the small table next to her, took a sip, and then asked, "Is it my father's phone call just now? Did he ask you to watch TV again?"

Liu Jinpeng took his eyes back from the LCD TV. His white skin, bright red lips and black straws formed a breathtaking picture. He immersed himself for two seconds before saying, "Yes. You said he always calls international confidentiality and asks me to watch TV for a long distance. Isn't it a bit too luxurious?"

As usual, Li Xiwen glanced at him, biting the straw in her mouth and said vaguely: "Didn't you analyze it last time? The waters of Kusel's bombing are very messy. I haven't touched the way yet, and I have no hope for the Egyptian Special Information Department to come up with a result. Moreover, Kusel's bombing has also sounded a wake-up call to some countries. You should know that Egypt is a member of the Organization of the Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries."

"Even the US ally Saudi Arabia feels an inexplicable crisis, let alone neighboring countries," Li Xiwen looks a little gloating. Although Kusel is actually aided by the state, "It is said that the Libyan ambassador to the United States ran to the White House overnight, not knowing what he did. Then the Assyrian ambassador and Kuwait followed one after another. It is a pity that he couldn't see Secretary Betty's face."

Libya, Assyrian and other countries have only been getting closer and closer to the United States in the past ten years. They have tried their best to remain neutral before, but now they find that the situation is not good, of course they are anxious. Liu Jinpeng asked strangely: "Kusel was bombed, have our allies not taken action?" Although Egypt is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, it is really disappointing.

"Why didn't Ethiopia just handed over the letter of the sacrificial letter," Li Xiwen's information in this regard is still very rich. "In Somalia, a group of bandits entrenched in Somalia were destroyed by their army's name in the name of exercise. Somalia is now in both ends, and it's time to return to the two sides of the rat.

Even if Liu Jinpeng has heard of these political topics, he can't interfere anyway, but something related to him will come soon. Li Xiwen's phone rang. After answering it, she said a few words, then hung up the phone with a weird expression, and mysteriously came over and said, "Guess what happened to me just now?"

Liu Jinpeng was impatient to guess the riddle with her, grabbed her ponytail and shook it twice. In order to make it easier to go into the water to swim, Li Xiwen tied her hair into a ponytail, which looked like another style. After being pulled by the ponytail, Li Xiwen stopped keeping her and said in disappointment: "Just promise you to keep it... OK, OK, Jiao Jiao called just now and said that there was a vice president of Global Energy Development Group who claimed to be the vice president of the Haihang Floating Island."

Global Energy Development Group is a subsidiary of the National Energy Group. It seems that Li Xiwen is right. Once the oil price is high, these giants will immediately take a fancy to this floating island with funds, plans and technology. Even if this floating island is actually empty, it doesn’t matter. It’s a concept, just hype it up. I believe these oil giants are just used as bargaining chips, and no one will really support the power generation of floating islands.

Liu Jinpeng will definitely not sell it, it will be useless for anyone to come. The Floating Island of the Sea is an extremely important part of the plan. This is what Li Jingwen said, the situation is useless, let alone a strange vice president. Even if you are a green onion, people will have to dip you in sauce. The Floating Island of the Sea only accepts bank loans, but does not accept any investment at all. Almost all the funds are paid by Liu Jinpeng himself.

He had planned to invite a few nobles to the bottom before, but later he thought that the fewer people involved in this kind of thing, the better, so he replaced it with a battery to attract people. Now the bank funds are in place, and Liu Jinpeng has prepared his own money and will definitely not sell any shares. But just in case, he still said to Li Xiwen: "You said Jinlong Bank will not sell the debts to Guoneng Group. If this is the case, I will be attacked on both sides."

There were often such bad things in the past. Large companies failed to acquire shares, so they directly redeem their debts from the bank, which would forcefully throw in a nail. Merchants who borrow money either gritted their teeth to pay back the money or had to endure the debt-to-equity conversion. This is the best way for large companies to eat up small companies. It is reasonable and legal and has no sequelae. It can also be used as a typical business case for analysis.

Li Xiwen couldn't guarantee that the Jinlong Bank was introduced by the uncle of Guo, but Wan Junli definitely couldn't decide the bank's idea. So after thinking about it, she said: "It's really not accurate. You can call your father to explain it. Don't be caught off guard when you say hello. Even if he says hello, you can call Jinlong Bank to be honest." Guoneng Group doesn't need to say hello. There are many things that are lip service to disobey performance. Moreover, Titanium Star Group is not worth mentioning to Guoneng, and they don't necessarily take it seriously.

Liu Jinpeng was so kind that he immediately called Li Jingwen. The one who answered the phone was General Manager Zhu Junwen. In the afternoon, it was the time for His Majesty the Emperor to exercise. General Manager Zhu said: "Director Liu, please call me in twenty minutes. Your Majesty has just been on the court. This game is almost the same time." The Minister of Defense came to play tennis with Li Jingwen today. General Manager Zhu couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he could only laugh and let Liu wait.

Liu Jinpeng didn't tell Zhu Junwen about the matter. He definitely couldn't tell the second person about this kind of thing, but he couldn't be honest for a while. It was so boring to wait twenty minutes. Li Xiwen slapped his hand away and rolled her eyes and said, "There is someone next to you. You damn ghost, you can't go back." Lin Lin looked at the sky speechlessly. She definitely couldn't walk away. The situation in Egypt is unclear. She or Eva always has someone who is by your side.

Liu Jinpeng was really bored. He left the air-conditioned room in a hot day and was covered in sweat. As soon as he walked, he felt surrounded by flames. This terrible feeling was something he had never seen before. He sighed: "The summer in Egypt is really terrible. We should come here in winter, or visit Russia in summer to escape the summer heat. I never thought that I would come to Africa."

After drinking the tropical drink, Li Xiwen paused her cup, stretched and said, "I heard that there was a pharaoh village in Giza. Let's go take a walk tomorrow morning while it's cool. Otherwise, we'll have to get sick at home."

Liu Jinpeng agreed with her opinion and said shamelessly: "That's right, you can't do things that are not suitable for children, it's too boring."

Li Xiwen glared at this guy, as if she had the intention to take action. Liu Jinpeng quickly stood up and ran away, and did not forget to turn around and make faces. Unfortunately, this guy didn't look at his feet, and tripped by the towel that Li Xiwen threw on the ground, and fell into the pool. Lin Lin quickly jumped into the water and pulled him up. Li Xiwen didn't care about fighting, so he asked about the situation with concern, and then sneered twice when he saw that he was fine.

After a while, Liu Jinpeng called again on time. This time Li Jingwen was waiting by the side. As soon as he told the matter, His Majesty the Emperor agreed and complained: "You kid, just look for Yu Xia directly? You have to worry about me. I thought there was something big about it. By the way, have you asked you to watch TV? What do you think?"

Liu Jinpeng's thoughts were very simple. He said: "I just feel that there is no disaster. You said that international oil prices have risen. How could other countries think of using my floating island on the sea as bargaining chips? Is this a persimmon that can be squeezed into soft pinch?"

"You don't know that people's hearts are complicated. Why are you so poor when you cry with me now?" Li Jingwen laughed loudly after hearing this. He had more information than Li Xiwen, so he could despise Liu Jinpeng. "You probably don't know yet. According to the latest news I have received, representatives from the North American Petroleum Association and the International Energy Agency are about to buy a floating island for you."

"But they are like Guoneng Group and will not take action in person," Li Jingwen had to give this guy a suggestion after laughing. "They only entrusted people from the intermediary company to do this transaction, so you still have the chance to bargain with them, and you can also complain. This is not your strength."

Liu Jinpeng didn't need to think about it and knew that Li Jingwen meant to wait for change. The problem was that he didn't want to sell even a single share, so he still said a little depressedly: "Can I refuse directly?"

Li Jingwen said a little bit disgusted: "Why are you not enlightened? You delay them for a while and then refuse to buy time for OPEC. When you have no chance, OPEC will be over. Who will be more unlucky in the end?" Although there is no Han Empire in OPEC, Li Jingwen is very open-minded. As long as he can make trouble for his opponents, I can do some volunteers, but this matter will have to be done in the end. (To be continued...)
