Expedition to Europe

In Qin Zhiyuan's current life, it is not only the Chinese who are worth caring about.

Qin Zhiyuan's friends, career, and even family are currently centered in France. Qin Zhiyuan himself has also joined the French nationality, so Qin Zhiyuan also has to work for the interests of France.

So when Hu Tingfeng collected enough evidence, Qin Zhiyuan asked Old Renault to prepare a dinner and then invited Prince Basel to the dinner.

Although the prince's name is not small, Basel can't act like a prince in front of the bigwigs of the suzerain country.

What's more, Basel pursues interests. Since he requires interests, he must cooperate, so Basel happily attends the dinner.

The banquet was held at Old Renault's home, not in Paris, but in a villa on Djerba Island.

The concept of this villa is different from the villa in the Chinese impression. Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a manor, with forests, green land, gardens, fountains, etc. There is even a small private zoo in the manor, where more than a dozen African lions, some camels, giraffes, and even two Bengal tigers from Asia live.

It is said that Old Renault has been on Djerba for less than two months. In these two months, it is definitely impossible to complete such a large complex of buildings. It seems that this should be the industry of a powerful person. Old Renault took over here.

Sure enough, when Prince Basel stepped into Old Renault's office, he kept muttering: "...Of course it's great. Since three hundred years ago, this place has belonged to the great Hussein family. We have lived here for generations and reproduced here."

When seeing Qin Zhiyuan in the office, Prince Basel was surprised, but not panicked.

There are still a large number of indigenous people on Djerba Island. Qin Zhiyuan's plane landed here, which naturally could not be hidden from the residents of Djerba Island.

Perhaps it was because of his familiarity with this place and his "home advantage" that Prince Basel was confident and fearless.

"Let me introduce you, this is Qin..." Old Renault was ready to make a match.

"No need, although this is our first meeting, I have known him for a long time." Prince Basel interrupted Old Renault rudely.

Since Qin Zhiyuan promoted "religious freedom", Qin Zhiyuan has become famous in the three North African countries...

It should be infamous!

"Nice to see you, Your Highness Basel." Qin Zhiyuan had a playful expression and sat on the sofa without getting up.

"That's for you, but for me, it's not so happy." Basel sat down on the sofa and chose a position facing Qin Zhiyuan.

"Of course you will be unhappy, especially when you see these things." Qin Zhiyuan threw a folder in front of Basel.

"What is this?" Basel looked at the folder suspiciously and did not reach out to take it.

"If I were you, I would open it." Qin Zhiyuan was indifferent.

"That's just your idea." Basel retorted.

In fact, for the royal family members, they all have a basic creed, that is, don't know what you shouldn't know, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask.

Basel is still very cautious in this regard.

"There were serious violent incidents in Dus and New Baku half a month ago. Your Excellency the Prince must know about it." Qin Zhiyuan took the initiative.

"I don't know what you are talking about. It's really inexplicable!" Basel stood up from the sofa and prepared to end this unpleasant meeting.

"If you leave now, then you will get nothing. You will lose everything you have, including the camel cavalry in the salt lake that has now been reduced to ashes, and even your right to inherit the throne." Qin Zhiyuan took drastic measures.

"What do you mean?" Basel's eyes were stern, and he finally felt that something was wrong.

"Yesterday afternoon, I sent a bomber unit to bomb a camp in the Gerard Salt Lake. At the same time, two battalions of infantry also set off. If you don't know what happened now, then it means that no one escaped from this camp." Qin Zhiyuan stated a cold fact.

"You bastard! There are even women and children there!" Basel showed anger mixed with fear.

Basel rushed directly to Qin Zhiyuan while speaking. Although he was furious, he still controlled his emotions well.

Of course, looking at Basel's fat body in his fifties, he probably couldn't beat Qin Zhiyuan.

"When you choose to start with an attack, you should be prepared to bear the consequences. Also, think about what you have done when you blame others. The families of those construction workers and engineers are also cursing you!" Qin Zhiyuan showed no mercy.

There is really nothing to blame for this kind of thing. Wars will never stop because of women and children. For example, in Germany now, part of the German army is children. German women are engaged in all kinds of work in the country, from making poison gas bombs to maintaining orchards.

Innocent?

Haha...

"What do you want to do? Do you want to go to war with North Africa?" Basel began to pull tiger skins.

"Let's take a look at what you have done first! Do you want me to read you the list of directors of United Petroleum? Are you sure you can bear the pressure brought by this list?" Qin Zhiyuan was also good at making excuses.

"I didn't ask for everything, I just asked for what I deserved." Basel's arrogance disappeared and he sat back on the sofa.

Don't think that Basel's constant mention of women and children is a manifestation of Basel's emphasis on human rights. In fact, in the group of people who believe in fetishism, the status of women is extremely low, and they are even just a tool for reproduction. Many people in the world are qualified to talk about human rights, but few of these fetishists are qualified.

"How much do you think you should get?" Qin Zhiyuan did not comment.

"At least 15% to 20%. I provided land, workers, and various conveniences. I should get so much." Basel opened his mouth.

"Haha, even if it is 10%, that is the share of the French President and the Commander-in-Chief of the French Army. Do you think you can match their contribution to United Petroleum?" Qin Zhiyuan looked down on him.

"How the share between you is distributed has nothing to do with me. I am only responsible for what I should get." Basel began to play tricks.

"Don't be silly, you have already got what you deserve. The current shares all have their owners, and there is no room for you to intervene. If you want to join United Petroleum, please pay attention to the future projects of United Petroleum." Old Renault, who had been silent since entering the house, said faintly. Old Renault is now very glad to join United Petroleum at the right time.

"Silly? If we let you plunder our resources without making any changes, that would be really stupid." Basel disagreed with Old Renault's proposal.

"But these are not your resources. The oil fields are in Algeria, which is not your traditional area. If you ask for benefits just because the pipeline passes through you, it would be too whimsical." Qin Zhiyuan was not polite.

"Shouldn't you get benefits? You have to pass through the Suez Canal to come to Europe from the Far East. Do you have to spend money there?" Nasser retorted.

"The Suez Canal was built by humans, and it is natural to spend money. Then these pipelines were also built by you? Not only did you not pay, but you also got compensation. Compared with what you paid, you should feel satisfied." Old Renault was not polite either.

The original text is available on the Six # 9 @Books/Bar!

Speaking of the Suez Canal, it is another eternal pain in the hearts of the French. The original Suez Canal belonged entirely to France and the Governor of Egypt, but since the Governor of Egypt was forced to sell the shares of the Suez Canal Company to the British, the canal has become a joint venture between Britain and France.

"You did pay, but compared to what you got, what you paid is just a drop in the bucket. This is not fair!" Basel insisted.

"Fair? If it weren't for the fact that the pipeline had to pass through those places, those places would be worthless. I wouldn't even want them if they were given to me for free." Old Renault was not to be outdone. If he really wanted to talk, the difference between Basel, a royal family, and Old Renault, a businessman, was not even a little bit.

"Then don't take it!" Basel simply cheated.

"Okay, you pay me back the money I paid you at the beginning, I don't want these lands, I will put the pipeline in Bengardan." Old Renault was not afraid of trouble.

"You can put the pipeline anywhere..." Basel suddenly lost his confidence and didn't mention the matter of paying back the money.

Old Renault is not afraid of breaking up. If Basel cannot reach an agreement here, Old Renault will choose to put the pipeline somewhere else, and Basel will get nothing. Just as Old Renault said, if it were not for the pipeline passing through here, the desert here would have no value at all.

"One step back, the sky is wide open, don't act on impulse." Qin Zhiyuan began to play the role of the good guy, which should have been the role of Old Renault in the original plan: "Louis, you don't have to choose another location, Basel, don't insist on getting the benefits of the new Baku oil field. If you really want it, we can set up another company to look for oil fields in Tunisia."

"Is there an oil field here? Where is it?" Basel's eyes were shining, and he sat up from the sofa and asked anxiously.

Old Renault didn't speak, and looked at Qin Zhiyuan with a weird smile.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't speak either, just smiled at Basel.

Basel immediately realized that he was inappropriate. Even if Qin Zhiyuan knew the location of the oil field, he would not tell Basel.

"Okay, what do you need me to do?" Basel finally admitted the facts.

Without Qin Zhiyuan's cooperation, Basel would get nothing.

Although Tunisia has a small land area, it has 160,000 square kilometers. If you look for oil fields aimlessly, it will undoubtedly be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

This is not the right way to spend money.

"The only thing you have to do is pay." Qin Zhiyuan was ready to start slaughtering.

"How much?" Basel felt full of malice, but he had to bow his head under the eaves.

"20 million francs!" Qin Zhiyuan was ruthless.

"20 million? Where can I get so much money?" Basel was anxious.

20 million francs, this is the number that old Renault paid to the French government in order to obtain the New Baku area. Now if this money is squeezed out from Basel, it means that old Renault and Qin Zhiyuan have obtained the oil fields in the New Baku area for nothing.

"But I don't have so much money." Basel was worried.

Not everyone can come up with 20 million francs at any time like old Renault. Although the franc and gold are no longer directly linked, if the exchange rate is based on the pre-war exchange rate, this would be nearly 60 tons of gold.

"This is your problem. You are also responsible for handling the land formalities and settling the interpersonal relationships here, and you can only get 45% of the shares." Since there is an opportunity to cut, Qin Zhiyuan is not polite: "By the way, don't forget the pensions of those construction workers and engineers."

"45%? No, no, no, I absolutely cannot accept this ratio." Basel couldn't stand it.

"It can only be 45%, and the rest belongs to the United Oil Company. If you want to change the distribution ratio, then you can go directly to Raymond." Qin Zhiyuan has bad intentions.

The United Oil Company has Raymond Poincaré's shares. If Basel asks for more dividends, it will damage the interests of the French president...

It depends on whether Basel has the courage!
