    Xie Lei's eyes twitched. Could it be that Lao Qi had any bold plans?

    He has been paying close attention to the situation in Iraq recently. Compared with the past life, his memory is no different. As early as August 1 this year, the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait on the oil issue broke down. The next day, the Iraqi army  He invaded Kuwait, overthrew the Kuwaiti government and announced the annexation of Kuwait.

    If the memory is flawless, then the first anti-Japanese war will definitely begin.  But it is not this year, but next year. He remembers the specific time clearly. It was from January 17 to February 28, 1991, when the NATO coalition forces headed by ** launched a military operation code-named "****"  action.  In the end, Iraq was defeated and its troops withdrew from Kuwait unconditionally. The strategic intention of the United States was achieved.

    Now the entire international community, including the United Nations, is condemning Iraq's banditry. The United Nations has also ordered Iraq to withdraw its troops from Kuwait many times. The Americans also responded very quickly, sending troops to Iraq as early as mid-August.  Deploy troops and war is imminent.

    The high-level officials of the Republic and the military are naturally very concerned about this matter. The People's Daily also published a commentator's article on its special page, affirming China's consistent position on resolving regional disputes through peaceful dialogue.

    In the 1990s, Chinese media was not very developed, so the public did not pay much attention to this international incident, but it cannot be said that it is too low. For big businessmen like Qi Guorong who are active at the forefront, it is a rare business opportunity.  .

    The series of post-war reconstruction plans are a huge business opportunity, such as airports, roads and railways, water supply and power supply systems, etc. These investments will definitely have a 200% return.  But presumably these Li Lei Investment Groups will not get the slightest share in the later stage. Americans are very shrewd. These are basically internal biddings, and the winning bidders are of course American companies.

    But there are also huge business opportunities in war. In addition to arms, other strategic resources such as living materials, oil, steel, etc. will be in great shortage during war. If you seize the opportunity properly, windfalls are inevitable.  Naturally, such a thing as making war fortune cannot be done in China. First of all, the state machinery will never allow it. Secondly, the Yanhuang bloodline of Lao Qi will never rob his compatriots.

    Xie Lei's thoughts were racing. Qi Guorong saw his son lost in thought and continued: "I estimate that there is more than a 70% chance of a fight. First of all, the Gulf region is very rich in oil and natural gas and is the largest strategic energy supply area for the United States. If Iraq  Controlling Kuwait means choking the strategic mouthpiece of the Americans. Secondly, the United States¡¯ global interests dictate that it has to fight. If it doesn¡¯t even deal with a small Iraq today, how can other allies trust it in the future? How about the NATO brother?  Are you going to mess with him? Hehe, of course, the most important point is that so many arms giants in the United States are looking forward to it! They are working hard from behind. Hehe These three points are enough to eliminate domestic anti-war voices. Let Mr. Bush make his decision.  Determined.¡±

    Lao Qi always has an incomprehensible feeling about his current son. The first half of his life has been ups and downs, and he has gone through ups and downs. On the smoke-filled battlefield, in the power center of the Republic, and in the ebb and flow of the business world, he has long been  Having understood the human nature of the world, it is no exaggeration to say that his life was a hundred times more exciting than what an ordinary person would experience in ten lifetimes. However, he just couldn't grasp the importance of his son, especially in the past six months, this boy's behavior  He is becoming more and more like the old man, not only shrewd, but also speaking and acting more calmly.

    Now every time the father and son talk, he always feels that the person opposite him is not like a son, but like a peer. He secretly wonders, is he becoming more childish as he lives longer?  Of course, such questions that undermine my dignity must never be spoken out.

    Xie Lei is still pondering his thoughts. Does Lao Qi really want to make a fuss about the Iraqi battlefield?  If true, it would be like dancing naked on the tip of a knife!  The Gulf War does contain huge room for profit, but it is definitely a double-edged sword. If you don't do it right, the US government will put you on the blacklist.

    "Lao Qi, do you really want to put a foot in?" After hesitation, he still wanted to ask his father what he really thought. I know that Lao Qi is not afraid of anything, so it is really possible for him to play in this local war.  Fire, so I still have to persuade.

    Qi Guorong raised his eyebrows slightly, changed the order of his crossed legs, continued to lean on the sofa, and said disdainfully: "That's not the case, you bastard, you really think that I have no brains, Lao Sa's 36th Battalion this time  The quantity required is not small. They are all cutting-edge weapons. They are probably used to carry out the assassination plan. I don't want to play with this. If the deal is really done, the Americans will be completely offended. If the old man finds out, hehe  " Qi Guorong paused, pulled two grapes from the fruit basket on the table and swallowed them without chewing.

    " He took a nice puff of the cigar, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "So, at best, I am just a middleman, responsible for pulling strings. You also know that Qi Guorong is kind-hearted and will repay kindness with enmity.Must come back, last time it was Xiaokov who borrowed the billion. Now he wants to borrow so much more. He asked me to find him a dealer to collect arms. Do you think I can help? After all, everyone is  Are we brothers who have been in prostitution together? Hehe, hehe, so of course I hope to start a fight as soon as possible.  "Lao Qi stretched out a hand, his fingers spread wide, and his face was as bright as a flower.

    Five hundred million!  !  !  Xie Lei took a breath of cold air, he really didn't use rubles as money!  I also let out a long sigh in my heart. This is a true portrayal of the 90 years of the Soviet Union that was riddled with holes. Thinking about it makes me regretful. It seems that no matter how hard we try, the disintegration of the huge Soviet Union is the general trend of history. Gorbachev¡¯s belief in democracy in Soviet society  Reform at the national level is entering a critical period, but what are these elites doing?

    They are big white moths. The Soviet people¡¯s social wealth of hundreds of billions and trillions is like a big piece of cheese. Every moth wants to take a bite. They are willing to spend hundreds of millions for the arms business worth tens of millions.  Billions of national assets were given away. Of course, these elites naturally did not expect that the red Empire State Building would collapse and the old federal currency system would collapse.  If he knew, Xie Lei couldn't even imagine the consequences. Maybe the central bank would be looted in one day, but all of this had nothing to do with him.

    "It's just that last time it was one billion, and this time I took 500 million for nothing from others, do you have the nerve to say anything?"  Xie Lei rolled his eyes at his father with helplessness on his face. He couldn't laugh or cry. This robbery was too cruel!  Do you really think that the Soviet people are not your friends?

    In fact, he didn¡¯t know that all Qi Guorong¡¯s brothers who had lived and died had changed their names on the battlefield, and they were all mercenaries from various countries who traveled around the world. But Belikov and Kirilenko were just people whom Lao Qi had saved.

    Qi Guorong casually held his cigar, played with a beautiful firework with his nimble fingers, and said with a smile: "Although I am 70% to 80% sure, I am very worried whether the Yankee will release this firework early! Xiaokov has been contacted  KGB spy, I also contacted a fat sheep from the 36th Battalion a few days ago, but I was afraid that the anti-war demonstrations in the United States would be too violent and Bush Sr. would not be able to withstand the pressure. Those grandsons from the 36th Battalion  It's not fun if you can't bear to pay for it! You have to know that a mask emperor like the United States wants both profits and face. To put it bluntly, he wants to be a bitch and build a memorial arch. Before the war, he clamored about democracy for three to five months.  That¡¯s not good. With my 500 million loan, I¡¯m just hoping to get started early, hey¡­¡±

    Dad kept talking, shaking his head.  Xie Lei just listened to the fun, and now he is a little envious of Lao Qi: cynical, unrestrained, and free. After thinking about it carefully, he, as a son, seems to be living in a cage.

    "Take your stinky claws away." At the dinner table, Xie Lizhu stretched out her jade hand and slapped away Lao Qi's hand holding the braised fish. She gave Qi Guorong a charming look and scolded: "Don't even look at your own virtue. This  I made it specially for my son, why do you stretch your hands so long?" After saying that, he diligently served Xie Lei some food.

    Being scolded by his wife, Qi Guorong didn't take it seriously. He bypassed the braised fish with his chopsticks, took a mouthful of mushrooms and vegetables and stuffed it into his mouth. He smiled and said, "Isn't this because I'm looking at the fish flavor you made, wife! I couldn't hold back my hand.  My wife¡¯s cooking skills are getting better and better now, tsk tsk, it tastes so delicious.¡± While talking, he didn¡¯t forget to smack his lips and picked another chopstick of green vegetables.

    Xie Lei was startled and glanced at Lao Qi strangely, then looked at his mother with admiration: When did I make vegetables and mushrooms so fragrant?  I hurriedly picked a chopstick and put it in my mouth. I chewed it for a long time, but it felt nothing special.

    Xie Lizhu's cheeks turned red and she said: "You talk a lot, but my cooking skills are very famous. Who didn't know about it in Beijing back then? I need you to praise me. Since you like to eat, I will reward you with this dish."  "As he said this, he put the plate of vegetables and mushrooms in front of Lao Qi's eyes, turned his head again, threw a large piece of beef into Xie Lei's bowl, and said with a smile: "Son, it's delicious. Mom, I see you've lost a lot of weight.  !¡±

    ??

    I'm a little surprised, but the old man feels uncomfortable. My wife hasn't shown her golden hand once in a year. It's hard for me to start the cooking and just eat some green vegetables. I've eaten all this today, and my face is still green.  ?

    ?? He loves her dearly and has never forced her to go to the kitchen in these years. Although Ai Lang has never complained, he knows all the rights and wrongs - she is not a qualified and good wife.

    He picked up a big fish piece and threw it into Qi Guorong's bowl, and said casually: "You can try it too."
