There is neither denial nor admission. As for the nature of the problem, we will continue to let the outside world guess.
After all, there are some secrets. For the Iraqi government, it is not as simple as guessing.
The outside world can speculate that there is a secret hidden under Marin Town, but in the eyes of the Iraqi government, this secret is closely related to itself.
After all, it is impossible for the Future Technology Group to secretly build a secret industry near Marin Town or underground in just a few months.
If there is such a possibility, then the Iraqi side will suffer a lot.
Even the Iraqi side thought about whether it was something like the secret military base left by Saddam Hussein back then.
Of course, they didn't have an answer to this question. If Cai Ruichen had just arrived in Iraq, they might not be polite.
But now... in the face of the forces that have been developed by the future technology group, the strength of the Iraqi government alone, but also the Islamic State... let's go to sleep!
After hearing Cai Ruichen's answer, Aziz didn't continue to ask questions, but just nodded thoughtfully.
This answer is enough for him to give Hafez an explanation, who told Hafez not to ask Cai Ruichen himself.
Aziz changed his mind, and he didn't want to talk about these meaningless topics in front of his God of Wealth.
"I would also like to congratulate the Future Technology Group for its strong morale. It's so powerful and hearty." Aziz seemed to want to get close to Cai Ruichen, and he picked up Chinese again, and used three idioms in one breath.
However, to Cai Ruichen's ears, it was still so awkward. If he didn't have good hearing, he really wouldn't know what the other party was talking about.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face, he said with a smile: "This is the result of everyone's hard work, and I can't do it alone."
Aziz smiled slightly, nodded and gave another compliment. Also did not speak again. Because the president's reception room. has arrived.
Pushing open the door of the reception room, Aziz invited Cai Ruichen in, and then said, "Mr. Cai, please sit down for a while, our president will be here soon."
After speaking. Aziz left directly.
Cai Ruichen looked around the reception room, which was over a hundred square meters, filled with artworks that could only be played by rich people. Everywhere.
The whole layout can almost be said to be extravagant to the extreme.
He, who had been to Aziz's reception room before, felt that it was already a luxury enough. I didn't expect it to be more excessive here.
However, Cai Ruichen didn't think much about it. I sat directly on the sofa that looked like it was inlaid with gold and silver and a few gemstones. The soft leather was much more comfortable than the sofa in the lobby of the base.
"In the future, we will also make a set and put it in the base."
Cai Ruichen touched the upper leather. muttered.
At this moment, the door of the reception room was pushed open. Iraqi President Hafez walked in in a formal suit.
After seeing Cai Ruichen on the sofa, he even smiled and seemed a little excited. Even his footsteps seemed to be much faster, and he stepped forward and said, "Dr. Cai, welcome."
Seeing Hafiz's pretentious posture, Cai Ruichen didn't point it out, but got up and held out his right hand to hold each other together, saying, "It's my honor to meet Mr. President."
Hafiz laughed and said, "Dr. Cai is too polite. Your reputation and status are much more noble than a president like me."
"Mr. President is wrong. You are the president elected by the Iraqi people. You are the Iraqi people. I am only an Iraqi citizen. How can I compare with you?"
Talk to people when you see people, talk to ghosts when you see ghosts, don't tell lies in front of real people, and don't tell the truth in front of fake people.
How could Cai Ruichen not understand these truths? Although the expression on Hafiz's face was well covered up, behind the smile of a politician, he could clearly see the hypocrisy.
For such a person, he really didn't need to tell the truth, and a few deliberately flattering words could be regarded as giving the other party enough face.
Sure enough, after hearing Cai Ruichen's words, Hafez was very useful. After signaling Cai Ruichen to sit down, he immediately sat aside and said, "Dr. sincerity."
"Thank you, Mr. President, for your hospitality. Then I won't refuse." Cai Ruichen didn't refuse, but he was too lazy to continue chatting with the other party. After the politeness, he went straight to the point and said, "Mr. President, I came here this time to discuss with the government about leasing a piece of land in the southern coastal area."
When Hafiz heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "Oh, what is Dr. Cai planning to rent the land for?"
"Build a shipyard." Cai Ruichen didn't hide anything, and said it directly.
When Hafiz heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, but he calmed down quickly, and asked, "I wonder what place Dr. Cai is looking for, and how big an area is he planning to lease?"
"The location is right next to Basra, and the leased land covers an area of about 30 square kilometers south of Basra toward the Gulf coast," Cai Ruichen said.
"Such a huge area, if it's just a shipyard, is it too big?" Hafiz asked after hearing this, and became calmer.
"Because we can not only build shipyards, but also build various supporting factories. After all, you also know that the shipbuilding industry needs a lot of supporting industries. If there are no other supporting industries, it is impossible for us to build small sampans!" Cai Ruichen explained.
"In this way, 30 square kilometers is not too big. However, may I know the scale of the shipyard to be built?" Hafiz asked.
"In my opinion, if you don't do it, don't do it. If you want to do it, you must do your best. The shipyard we built will be a top shipyard in the world. We know that during Saddam Hussein's time, the original shipbuilding industry in Iraq was destroyed. The U.S. military destroyed it, and it has never been restored.”
Speaking of this, Cai Ruichen looked at Hafez's face and continued: "If our shipyard is built, wouldn't it mean helping Iraq restore its own shipbuilding field?"
"Is it possible to build a 10,000-ton cargo ship?" Hafiz asked with some excitement.
"That is the minimum requirement. The transportation company we have established will need a lot of ocean-going ships in the future, so we have aimed at the goal of future development from the very beginning." Cai Ruichen said.
"Is it possible to build warships?" Hafiz couldn't help asking when thinking of the various developments of the Future Technology Group in the military field. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
