The Xianfu villa area in Hudong District is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with an elegant environment. ¡Ñ
Exquisite villas with European and American style are scattered among the quiet mountains and forests, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
In Villa No. 12, Lu Jing, Lu Jiang and Professor Zhao were sipping fragrant tea.
Wen Xue, wearing a blue polka-dot apron, brought up the fresh pastries, smiled delicately at Lu Jing, and quietly stepped away. A girl as beautiful as a flower!
Lu Jiang sighed in his heart. His brother was really troublesome in this regard. He drank tea and asked, "Xiao Jing, how many years will it take for you to graduate with your Ph.D.?"
Lu Jingdao: "Brother, I've only studied for one year. It's still early for graduation."
Professor Zhao was dressed in elegant winter clothes and said with a smile: "Xiao Jing, with your level of political economics, you can graduate. You are just short of a few papers. What do you think of the recent situation in the Middle East?"
His only daughter Zhao Qingzhi has followed Lu Jing and is now raising a baby in Hong Kong. In addition, he is Lu Jing's master's and doctoral tutor. No matter how high Lu Jing's achievements are, he is considered an elder. Naturally, the title has been changed.
When he learned that his daughter was pregnant in October last year, he almost died of anger. But he finally lost his temper. He was satisfied with Lu Jing, a proud student. Both character and ability are excellent. It's a pity that Lu Jing is already married.
Lu Jiang smiled.
Lu Jing thought for a while and said: "After Obama took office as President of the United States, his first political show was to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq. The hegemony of the US dollar is based on oil. The Middle East is an important oil producing area in the world. I don't think Americans will If we really leave the Middle East, I¡¯m afraid it will be a trap.¡±
??The next step is the ¡°Arab Spring¡±.
A large number of Arab governments have been overthrown by street politics or have experienced political instability. ******, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Yemen, Syria. Behind the scenes, Saudi Arabia, which is pro-American, was not affected. If you say that there is no American promoter, you won¡¯t believe it!
Professor Zhao held up his glasses and smiled. "Strategic deception! Of course, this is also related to the decline in the national strength of the United States after the 2008 financial crisis. Americans want to suppress Russia in Europe, maintain petrodollars in the Middle East, and suppress our influence in Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, and the Taiwan Strait. They must use their own strength to pursue a rebalancing strategy in the Asia-Pacific. They are now overwhelmed and have to make choices. The American global hegemony is already crumbling."
Lu Jingdao: "Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, Americans have been globally famous for more than 20 years, and it is almost time to go downhill. The Tang Dynasty was only 29 years old. The rise and fall of historical chaos, how can Americans avoid?"
Lu Jiang nodded slightly.
"Xiao Zhi, Professor Zhao asked me to treat you well when he left. How have you been in Hong Kong lately?" The night was deep. The sharp chill of early spring blew in the corridors of Baiyan Sufei Club. Lu Jing called Zhao Qingzhi during his free time at the party.
"Gee, second brother, your concern is so insincere. You didn't even say you came to Hong Kong to see me. Recently, it's still the same, nagging my mother every day. I'm only 29 years old, and it's nothing to do at work. Wan Ting, Didn¡¯t Xiao Ming and Ming Xue both work the same way last year?¡±
Lu Jing smiled. Chat with Zhao Qingzhi. At that time, how to talk to Professor Zhao about his relationship with Xiao Zhi really made him think a lot. In the end, we can only adopt the most old-fashioned method: cook raw rice into cooked rice.
Fortunately, Professor Zhao acquiesced in his being with Xiao Zhi, which made Lu Jing relieved. otherwise. I feel ashamed of Xiaozhi.
"Why are you hiding?" Wang Can walked to Lu Jing and handed him a cigarette.
"Call Xiaozhi." Lu Jing smiled and lit cigarettes with Wang Can. Take a puff in the ornately decorated corridors. In the distance, the lights of the capital city shine brightly in the night.
Baiyan Sufei is not like the manor-style layout of Tang Yujing. They are basically indoor activity venues. The club has complete entertainment facilities and various salons held from time to time. Alumni gatherings, fashion parties, cocktail parties, food parties and other activities.
Tonight, Wang Can specially prepared a cocktail party for him, and all the friends in Wang Can's circle were invited. There are a few helpers who are eloquent and the atmosphere is lively.
"Wang Can, thank you."
"Hey, don't talk about this between brothers. Xiaoliu and the others will just make a joke." Wang Can waved his hand. Lu Jing's father passed away and he has been in a low mood. He was also like this when his grandfather passed away. It's just that Lu Jing fell into sadness for a long time.
Wang Can took a puff of cigarette and asked: "Lu Jing, I heard that your brother is going to visit the Middle East? Those grandsons of the Yang family are taking advantage of others' danger!"
Lu Jing smiled faintly, "If you don't take advantage of others' danger, why are you trying to embarrass my brother when my father is still alive? Do you still want to hang out?"
Wang Can laughed when Lu Jing said, "Damn!"
Lu Jing patted Wang Can on the shoulder, "It's okay!"
Wang Can nodded gently.
Lu Jing did not go to the Middle East with Lu Dong¡¯s economic and trade delegation. Instead, he flew to Johannesburg, South Africa, with Xiao Ji, Wei Wei, Yan Shining and others on March 9. Also accompanying him were Tang Yue, Yi Guo, and Yuan Wen, the director of GI Company.
Dong Bing took his secretary Zhou Xuan and others to greet Lu Jing and his party at the airport in Johannesburg.
? 2010 is the time when the World Cup is held in South Africa, and the bustling city of Johannesburg is even more crowded.
In the luxurious extended Bentley, Lu Jing looked away from the car window and asked with a smile: "Dong Bing, Dick's plan is going very smoothly!"
It is still early spring in Beijing, while the climate in Johannesburg is warm. Dong Bing was wearing an apricot-colored embroidered dress with a bright temperament. She smiled and said: "If there is demand, there will be a market. As long as we do not touch the line of apartheid, the South African government is still willing to support us."
Yi Guo, who participated in the entire Dick plan, smiled slightly.
Hehua¡¯s Dick Plan is to let the South African government allocate a large area of ??land in Johannesburg to lease to Hehua, and this land will isolate people with criminal records and poor health. AIDS is rampant in South Africa. Such a "safe island" is quite attractive to South Africa's middle class.
In addition to building residential communities, Hehua is also responsible for operating schools, post offices, banks, hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, cafes, cinemas and other facilities. high profit. Last year's profits reached $3 billion. Mr. Dong's idea was quite successful, which also established her position within the Hehua Consortium.
The service industry and banking industry only transfer profits. Manufacturing is what creates profits. Huaneng has made huge profits in Johannesburg because Johannesburg is the largest city and economic center in South Africa. Diamond and gold transactions are booming.
This is the basis for Hehua to make money here. And this is without touching sensitive diamonds and gold transactions.
Dong Bing arranged for Lu Jing and his party to stay in a high-end villa area located in the "concession" of Hehua. The villa areas are neatly planned and distributed on both sides of the road surrounded by green trees. Very American country style. Dong Bing's villa in the suburbs has now been moved to the city. Right next to Lu Jing's villa. She had already reserved a seat for Lu Jing. Tang Yue and his friends live a few steps further away.
Tang Yue, Yi Guo, and Yuan Wen stayed for one night and then left Johannesburg for Amlibirion, an African country on the border with South Africa, to inspect the construction and mining conditions of the Hawenswana diamond mine. When Lu Jing joined the Diamond Alliance led by Leonard Rockefeller, the cause of the conflict was around the distribution of shares in the Havenswana diamond mine.
Amlibirion, a landlocked country located in southern Africa, is extremely poor, and its capital, Sarago, has changed hands several times. The king's flag changes at the top of the city. But it is the largest diamond producer outside South Africa and has sufficient ore reserves.
The total proven reserves of the Havenswana diamond mine reach 1 trillion carats. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (dtt), a world-renowned accounting firm, values ??it at US$600 billion.
? However, this is just indicative data. The actual recoverable reserves are only 8 million carats. It will take approximately US$500 million and two years to expand the mineable mine to 30 million carats.
The Hawenswana diamond mine was previously controlled by Nkanga, a rebel group backed by Charles Warren. Lu Jing once invested US$200 million to acquire 30% of the shares and jointly developed the Havinsvarna diamond mine with Charles Warren and Russian diamond giant ALROSA.
Two years have passed, and Charles Warren's power has fallen apart. The Diamond Alliance has been controlled by Lu Jing. Hehua now wants to fully take over the Hawenswana diamond mine with a mineable capacity of 30 million carats.
Tang Yue and the others went to Amlibirion just for this matter. The word "inspection" needs to be enclosed in quotation marks. Hehua has two top mercenary groups in Africa. Great firepower. The Hehua Consortium hopes to control the country of Amlibirion.
As we all know, even if the black uncles in Africa hold AK47s in their hands, their fighting skills and fighting will are the worst. This is the same as Saudi Arabia, even though its entire army is equipped with American equipment, it still fights against the fifth scum. A few hundred well-equipped mercenary regiments can sweep across poor African countries. Africa is a paradise for mercenaries, a battlefield for multinational corporations, and a chessboard for great power games.
For example: France is very powerful in North Africa, and the resources it plunders are used to support its country. Just across the Mediterranean Sea. France's life is actually better than that of Britain, which has lost many overseas colonies. This is also the reason why France is still arrogant in front of the wealthy China, and of course it cannot be arrogant for more than a few years. In the next few years, I will come to China to ask for orders. But the anti-Japanese sentiment in the country is quite serious.
After the Kunming-Ming riots and terrorist attacks, the Western media in Europe and the United States were in a strange mood, and the French statement was particularly excessive.
After staying in Johannesburg, South Africa for half a month, Tang Yue and Yi Guo, Yuan Wen returned from Serrago, accompanied by Pulitzer, the person in charge of ALROSA and an old acquaintance of Lu Jing.
In the elegant living room of the villa, Lu Jing made coffee to entertain Pulitzer who came from afar.
Pulitzer has thin hair, a tall body, a swollen belly, and a very strong appearance. He creaked on the sofa and said, "Mr. Lu, I didn't even know you were in South Africa, otherwise I would have come to see you long ago."
Lu Jing smiled faintly and glanced at Pulitzer sharply, "Pulitzer, do you have any ideas about Amlibria?" Russia's military force in Africa is equally powerful. The game played by the five permanent members of the United Nations is basically the game played by the current global interest pattern.
Pulitzer quickly shook his head and said: "No. ALROSA is only interested in diamonds. She is not interested in political power."
Lu Jing started laughing. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
