Chapter 1683 UAV production line
Therefore, in terms of cost, the "Air Angel" has been shared by domestic troops for China's takeoff. Even if the remaining one is concession, it doesn't matter. You should know that it will cost millions of dollars to advertise. It doesn't matter to Prince Abdullah II. It's all just for advertising.
After all, the most important thing is to allow the civil aircraft of Tengfei to expand all over the world, because that is the market, that is China Tengfei's continuous gold mines.
Of course, as His Highness of the UAE, Abdullah II, who holds the title of State Counsel, naturally would not be able to listen to Zhuang Jianye so obediently. If Zhuang Jianye had not been deeply bound to his urgently needed areas such as energy, medical care, machinery and equipment, it would be strange if Prince Abdullah II could work so hard.
Take the energy field as an example. The tribe where Prince Abdullah II is located is more miserable. There are not a few drops of oil in the vast desert on the land. Compared to other tribes that can spray oil by inserting chopsticks, Prince Abdullah II's tribe is extremely desolate.
But because of this, the Abdullah family is valued by the UAE royal family and can hold the position of state counselor. There is no way. Without oil, it means having no money, and without money means being poor. Poor can be controlled well, because the royal family will give you some favors, and the Abdullah family will have to wag their tails as hard as pugs.
Of course, oil-poverty is only relative and limited to land. Facing the sea surface of the Persian Gulf, there are oil and gas fields with huge reserves, which are initially estimated to account for one-fifth of the entire UAE's oil and gas reserves.
But even such a huge oil and gas field, neither Rockefeller in the United States, Shell in the Netherlands, or British energy companies, are interested in mining. The reason is very simple. The cost of offshore oil extraction is too expensive and cannot be paid.
There is no way, you can get oil by inserting a chopstick on the land. The cost is as low as a few dollars a barrel, and you can buy 30 or 40 dollars by replacing it. This profit is called a donkey rolling over.
No matter how low the cost of offshore oil is, the cost of offshore drilling platforms, drilling and mining will be at least close to thirty dollars, and it will only be sold for about 40 dollars. The profit is really pitifully small, so international energy giants all like to join in.
Prince Abdullah II's father, Prince Abdullah, had not found these energy giants for this matter, but was ruthlessly rejected. It was not until Prince Abdullah II's death and Maxim succeeded Prince Abdullah II that things turned around.
Yes, Zhuang Jianye took action again, and joined forces with CNOOC, CNOOC, and CNOOC to establish a offshore oil mining company, and jointly established a joint venture with Prince Abdullah II.
Funded by Prince Abdullah II, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation is responsible for manufacturing offshore oil drilling platforms, CNOOC is responsible for specific drilling and mining, CNOOC is responsible for transportation, and China Shipbuilding Oceanwide is responsible for the most core multi-degree-of-freedom drilling and mining equipment of offshore oil and aviation equipment including helicopters.
The oil and gas mined are 100% purchased by China, and half of the income will be divided by Prince Abdullah II's tribe.
In fact, this plan can be completed by Zhuang Jianye when Prince Abdullah was alive. As the only two manufacturer in the world who has mastered the multi-degree-of-free drilling and mining equipment for offshore oil, it is actually very simple to set up such a situation. After all, the domestic industrial chain in this area has been very complete.
The reason why he didn't do this is mainly because Prince Abdullah, at the critical moment when he introduced China's Takeoff Zhi-12 production line, was forced to pressure from international helicopter giants such as Bell and Sikorsky, and he was afraid to continue this matter.
Although Prince Abdullah expressed his apology afterwards and paid up to US$2.5 billion in liquidated damages, the impact on China's take-off was huge.
At least it interrupted China's pace of manned aircraft entering overseas, forcing China to adjust its established business strategy at that time, resulting in some projects lag behind.
These deep losses cannot be compensated by just $2.5 billion. Therefore, Zhuang Jianye naturally stood by and watched Prince Abdullah's attitude of rushing to find the exploitation of its tribe's offshore oil. Since you are cowardly at the critical moment, don't blame me for not caring about anything at the critical moment.
Originally, this wait-and-see attitude would continue until the era of Prince Abdullah II, but it could not be resisted that Prince Abdullah II was much clearer than his father. Not long after his succession, he brought a huge business delegation to the country and specifically found Zhuang Jianye and talked about the plan to restart the Z-12 helicopter production line.
The reason for this is mainly because the economic foundation of Prince Abdullah II's tribe was determined by Prince Abdullah II's need to work hard on industrial industries.
Without oil, it means that there is no money. If there is no money, it will be looked down upon. Maxim, Prince Abdullah II, is depressed in his appearance.
So he has always advocated introducing China's products and technologies, and has advised his father more than once to withstand the pressure from other tribes from Europe, America and China.
However, my father was weak on the outside but weak on the inside, and finally succumbed to the pressure from the tribe and the royal family in the country and stopped the cooperation.
So Maxim was very regretful at that time because he knew very well that such a good opportunity would definitely be gone if he passed the village.
But he was not discouraged. After succeeding Prince Abdullah II, he began to promote the matter again and led a delegation to visit China for this purpose.
However, as Maxim expected, China's current take-off is no longer the same as before. The domestic market can support China's rise and expansion. There is no need to urgently export technology and industrial output to the outside world in exchange for valuable foreign exchange and profits. Therefore, the matter of the Direct-12 production line was naturally led by Zhuang Jianye who met.
It is equivalent to refusing Prince Abdullah II's request.
Of course, Zhuang Jianye did not block the path, saying that helicopter production could not be considered, but the drone production line was fine. It was just that Prince Abdullah admitted his defeat at a critical moment before. China needs to take off his feet and see the determination and sincerity of Prince Abdullah II...
Prince Abdullah II had few cards in his hand, and the good things that could be taken out were the camels in the desert, the old, weak, women and children in the tribe.
The question is, can these people like Zhuang Jianye?
After thinking about it, there was no way. Prince Abdullah II took out a gamble and took out the mining rights of the offshore oil and gas field to express his sincerity in this cooperation.
You can dig oil in the Middle East, even from the sea!
