Chapter 1147 Arriving in Iraq (Part 2)
"I'm sorry, Mr. President." Guo Tailai said neither humble nor overbearing: "I'm just here in a private capacity and has nothing to do with my country."
"That's a pity." Saddam shook his head slightly, but still squeezed out a smile at Guo Tailai: "Welcome to Iraq!"
It has been very difficult for Saddam to be sanctioned by the international community in recent years. He can only sell a limited amount of oil to buy food and other necessities for people's livelihood. He has been looking forward to lifting the sanctions for many years. Although he knew that it was unlikely that Huaxia would send Guo Tailai, a young man, to discuss cooperation between countries, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Although a little disappointed, Saddam was the president after all, so he quickly adjusted his mood and invited Guo Tailai to enter his palace.
Guo Tailai thought that the Emirates Palace in Dubai, where even the lampposts and guardhouse roofs are inlaid with gold, was already extremely luxurious. However, in Saddam’s palace, Guo Tailai discovered that Saddam’s extravagance went beyond and.
Starting from the door steps, as long as Guo Tailai saw any utensils and buildings, they were all inlaid with pure gold. How much do people in the Arab world like gold? Dubai is a golden city, and Saddam Hussein, who is now sanctioned by the international community, is actually doing the same.
Well, this is the first time for Guo Tailai to drink coffee from a golden cup, and it really feels... not bad!
"Before asking you to take a good rest, I need to say sorry to you." Saddam sat with Guo Tailai and Prince Sheikh for a while, and Prince Sheikh was shocked when he opened his mouth. Say sorry, what is this for?
"Because of what?" Guo Tailai also looked surprised. He didn't meet Saddam before, right? Why do you say sorry to yourself, do you want to detain yourself?
"In London, England, my eldest son Uday once planned an attack against you." Saddam Hussein can barely be regarded as a generation of heroes, and he said calmly to Guo Tailai: "Although it did not succeed, I still want to tell you Sorry."
The time in London? Guo Tailai was attacked twice in London. The first time was the attack on the way to the airport, but it was easily resolved by Guo Tailai. A tie clip punctured the tire of a large truck and restrained the driver. It was only a week later that he was found in the parking lot of the London airport. exploded.
The second time was when I was with Charles and was blocked by someone to launch an attack. It seemed that it was done by mercenaries, but I couldn't find the real mastermind afterwards. Which time did Saddam say?
"I was only attacked in London when I was with Prince Charles!" Guo Tailai said with a sudden realization: "No wonder there is so much momentum and movement."
For the first attack, Guo Tailai calmly resolved it, not letting outsiders know that they had discovered the attacker. Until now, Guo Tailai and the others have covered it up very well. No one knows, even the attackers and organizers may not know that it was Guo Tailai who made the move. They only know that the big car they arranged had a traffic accident, and they were responsible for driving Guo Tailai and others. People didn't wait for the signal from behind, so they didn't act all the time. But at the airport, I don't know who designed the suicide scene.
"There's a little more movement." Saddam nodded slightly, and even admitted: "I have already punished Uday, I hope you don't hold back during the treatment because of this matter."
"I'm a nursing doctor." Although Guo Tailai was a little stunned, he still nodded and said, "Please believe me, when I face my clients, I will abide by basic professional ethics."
"I hope so too." Saddam smiled and didn't say much.
Guo Tailai never thought that there was such a layer of grievances. Not only Guo Tailai didn't expect it, but even Prince Xie He next to him was a little dumbfounded. How could such a thing happen?
"Is the thing I told you to prepare in advance ready?" Prince Sheikh hurriedly said, to ease the atmosphere and change the subject.
"Of course!" Saddam nodded. "Other things are in short supply, but there is still enough butter."
While speaking, he signaled Guo Tailai and Xie He to stand up and follow. The two had no objection, and followed Saddam directly to a door in the hall of the palace.
When passing by a bar, Saddam reached out and picked up a pen on the bar, signed a document directly on a piece of paper on the bar, and then handed it directly to Prince Sheikh. No need to ask, this is the medical qualification certificate that Guo Tailai requested. As the president, Saddam has the right to appoint an official who can sign the license, and of course he also has the power to sign the license.
"You are being sanctioned, are you going to use your private account to transfer out the nursing expenses?" Prince Sheikh did not stand on the side of the Arab brother at this time, but firmly stood on Guo Tailai's side. The direct exit asked Saddam: "Or transfer money from your family's private account?"
"Transfer?" Saddam laughed, shook his head and said, "We don't transfer money."
"Hey, Hussein, we agreed." Sheikh's face immediately turned black. What does this mean? After cheating people over and then reneging on the debt? This is a matter of his guarantee reputation, and he must not remain indifferent.
"Although our private accounts are also very secretive, large transfers will definitely be targeted." Saddam said calmly: "Even though Swiss Bank is known as the most confidential bank for customers, but, believe me, their guarantee It’s worthless! When you face strong pressure from the United States or other countries one day, do you think that you can push back all these countries by claiming permanent neutrality? You also don’t want that when the transfer records are exposed one day, the relationship between you and me Is there still such a large transfer fee record?"
The latter sentence was directed at Guo Tai. Saddam's current international reputation is not very good, and being involved with him is not a good thing. Guo Tailai could only nod his head to admit that what Saddam said made sense.
"Then how do you plan to pay?" Prince Sheikh's complexion improved a bit, as long as he didn't renege on his debts: "Isn't it going to be oil?"
"I'm willing, is Mr. T willing?" Saddam asked Guo Tailai expectantly.
Guo Tailai shook his head like a rattle, what joke? The United Nations is sanctioning Iraq, and the extra drop of oil cannot be shipped out. Only when you are full, you will receive oil as payment, although the quality of Iraqi oil seems to be good.
"So, what about the oil fields?" Saddam smiled and asked again: "Is the ownership of the oil fields okay?"
I personally own the oil field, and then how to exploit it? Isn't it a hot potato when you get it? The country will import a large amount of oil, but does it mean that there is no oil that cannot be mined or mined and cannot be transported? Guo Tailai finally shook his head.
