Therefore, in terms of cost, the "Air Angel" for China Takeoff has been largely shared by the domestic troops, and the rest does not matter even if it is a profit. You must know that it costs millions of dollars to advertise. Prince Abdullah II doesn¡¯t care, it¡¯s just an advertisement.
After all, the most important thing is to allow Ascendas series civil aircraft to expand around the world, because that is the market, and that is the endless gold mine for China Ascendas.
Of course, as His Royal Highness the Prince of the United Arab Emirates, Abdullah II, who holds the title of State Counselor, would naturally not be able to listen to Zhuang Jianye so obediently. Without Zhuang Jianye¡¯s support in energy, medical care, mechanical equipment, etc. It is no wonder that Prince Abdullah II can work so hard in an urgently needed area and its deep ties.
Take the energy field as an example. Prince Abdullah II¡¯s tribe is quite miserable. There are not even a few drops of oil in the vast desert on land. Compared with other tribes that can spray oil by inserting a chopstick, Abdullah II¡¯s tribe is quite miserable. The tribe of Vasubandhu was utterly desolate.
But precisely because of this, the Abdullah family is valued by the UAE royal family and can hold the noble position of State Counselor. There is no way, no oil means no money, no money means poverty, and poverty can be well controlled. Because the royal family gives random favors, the Abdullah family has to wag its tail like a pug.
Of course, being lean in oil is only relative and is limited to land. Facing the Persian Gulf, there are oil and gas fields with huge reserves under the sea. Preliminary estimates account for one-fifth of the entire UAE's oil and gas reserves.
But even with such a huge oil and gas field, neither Rockefeller in the United States, Shell in the Netherlands, nor energy companies in the United Kingdom are interested in exploring it. The reason is very simple. The cost of offshore oil exploration is too expensive to justify.
There is no way, just stick a chopstick on the land and oil will come out. The cost is as low as a few dollars per barrel, and you can buy it for thirty or forty dollars when you resell it. The profit is huge.
No matter how low the cost of offshore oil is, excluding the cost of offshore drilling platforms, drilling, and extraction, it is still close to 30 U.S. dollars at least, and it only sells for about 40 U.S. dollars when resold. The profit is really pitiful, so international energy giants love it. Join in.
The father of Prince Abdullah II, Prince Abdullah Sr., had not approached these energy giants about this matter, but was ruthlessly rejected. Until the death of Prince Abdullah Sr., Maxim succeeded Abdullah. Things took a turn for the better after Prince Ra II.
Yes, Zhuang Jianye took action again. He joined forces with CNOOC, CSSC, and CSSC to establish an offshore oil exploration company, and jointly established a joint venture with the private oil exploration company established by Prince Abdullah II, each holding 50% of the shares. .
Funded by Prince Abdullah II, China State Shipbuilding Industry Corporation is responsible for manufacturing offshore oil drilling platforms, CNOOC is responsible for specific drilling and mining, CSSC Ocean Shipping is responsible for transportation, and China Tengfei is responsible for the core multi-degree-of-freedom drilling and production equipment for offshore oil, including Aviation equipment including helicopters.
?? 100% of the oil and natural gas extracted will be purchased by China, and half of the revenue will be shared by Prince Abdullah II¡¯s tribe.
In fact, Zhuang Jianye could help complete this plan when old Prince Abdullah was still alive. As the only manufacturer in the world that masters multi-degree-of-freedom drilling and production equipment for offshore oil, it is actually very simple to set up such a bureau. After all, this is the domestic aspect. The industrial chain is already very complete.
The main reason why he did not do this was because at the critical moment when the old Prince Abdullah introduced China's Tengfei Z-12 production line, under the pressure of international helicopter giants such as Bell and Sikorsky, he gave up midway and did not dare to use this product. Things go on.
Although Prince Abdullah expressed his apology afterwards and paid a liquidated damages of up to 2.5 billion US dollars, the impact on China's take-off was huge.
¡°At the very least, it interrupted China Ascendas¡¯ manned aircraft expansion overseas, forcing China Ascendas to adjust its established business strategy, causing some projects to lag behind.
These deep-seated losses cannot be compensated by a mere US$2.5 billion. Therefore, Zhuang Jianye naturally stood by and watched the old Prince Abdullah's eagerness to find and exploit his tribe's offshore oil. Since you were cowardly at the critical moment, don't blame me at the critical moment. Don't care about anything.
Originally, this wait-and-see attitude would last until the era of Prince Abdullah II, but Prince Abdullah II could not stand it because he was much clearer-minded than his father. Not long after he succeeded, he came with a huge business delegation. Domestically, Zhuang Jianye was specifically approached to talk about the introduction 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 determines that Prince Abdullah II has to work hard on the industrial industry.
No oil means no money, and if you don¡¯t have money, you will be looked down upon.??, Prince Abdullah II felt aggrieved to be looked down upon by others.
Therefore, he has always advocated the introduction of China¡¯s products and technologies, and has advised his father more than once to withstand the pressure from Europe, America and other domestic tribes.
However, his father was strong on the outside and weak on the inside. In the end, he succumbed to the pressure from the domestic tribes and the royal family and suspended the cooperation.
So much so that Maxim felt very regretful at that time, because he knew very well that such a good opportunity would definitely disappear after passing this 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 specifically for this purpose.
However, as Maxim expected, China's take-off today is no longer what it used to be. The domestic market can already support the rise and expansion of China's take-off, and there is no longer a need to urgently export technology and industry to the outside world in exchange for valuable foreign exchange and Profit, so the matter of the Zhi-12 production line was naturally taken care of by Zhuang Jianye who met him.
It was tantamount to politely rejecting Prince Abdullah II¡¯s request.
Of course, Zhuang Jianye did not block the road, saying that helicopter production cannot be considered, but the UAV production line is no problem, but because the old Prince Abdullah gave in at the critical moment, China needs to see Abdullah to take off. The determination and sincerity on the part of Prince Ra II
Prince Abdullah II has few cards in his hand, and the only good things he can bring out are the camels in the desert and the old, weak, women and children in the tribe.
The question is, can Zhuang Jianye take a fancy to these people?
After thinking about it, there was no other way. Prince Abdullah II took a gamble and took out the mining rights of his offshore oil and gas fields to express his sincerity in this cooperation.
You can dig for oil in the Middle East, even at sea!
Zhuang Jianye immediately agreed without saying a word, so offshore oil exploration was started. Sincerity was seen, and it was natural to enter the next stage of in-depth cooperation. And what Prince Abdullah II hinted was that Zhuang Jianye had promised nothing. Man-machine production line!
