Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth: Iraq Running Out of Ammunition and Food

In the simple reception room, Obedi was invited in by the staff, with a cup of tea, on the wooden sofa carved with dragons and phoenixes, next to a neat bookshelf, on which were neatly placed books, with obvious signs of frequent flipping .

The reception room is not very big, more than 60 square meters, the bookshelves and the sofa add up, and the remaining space is not very ample.

There are no those luxurious decorations, no celebrity calligraphy and paintings, no precious antiques, and it looks similar to ordinary people's study.

Obedi who came in was a little surprised. In his opinion, the Future Technology Group is so rich, it must be very luxurious, but in this reception room, there is nothing that can be matched with luxury.

Even compared to the decoration of the shopping malls below and the floors of various ethnic styles in the world, it is several grades worse.

He didn't know whether this was Cai Ruichen's private reception room or the private reception room of Future Technology Group, but it felt very inappropriate to him.

This place is completely unworthy of Cai Ruichen and the identity of Future Technology Group.

However, what he didn't know was that every book in it could drive scientists all over the world crazy. The wood of the sofa he sat on was also out-of-print mahogany, which could always exude a fragrance.

The bookshelves are not simple, they are all made of very good red sandalwood, and they all have a long history, all of which are masterpieces left over from ancient times to the present.

He is purely a cow chewing peonies, he doesn't see the value here at all, and he doesn't even have such an appreciative vision at all.

As for those luxurious decorations, Cai Ruichen doesn't even bother to engage in the outfits of those nouveau riche. What he likes is simplicity and style, rather than wanting to wear gold and silver all over his body, for fear that others will not know that he is rich.

And here, it is indeed Cai Ruichen's private reception room. If Cai Ruichen didn't want to see him, he would never be able to come in for the rest of his life.

Cai Ruichen didn't keep Obedi waiting for a long time, a cup of tea was still steaming hot, so he walked in.

Chizuru followed. This secretary who has officially taken office.

When Obedi saw Chizuru. The undisguised beauty made him reluctant to take his eyes off even for a moment.

He didn't even look at Cai Ruichen, as if Qianhe was the only one left in the whole world and nothing else.

Chizuru caught Obedi's gaze. The surrounding temperature seemed to freeze instantly.

Inside the Future Technology Group headquarters.

There are advanced temperature adjustment devices and a complete air purification system, in such an environment. Only by accident, it is possible to change the temperature inside.

Cai Ruichen didn't feel anything yet. Obedi suddenly felt as if his whole body was going to be frozen, and his head woke up from Chizuru's beautiful face.

Women in the Middle East are notoriously beautiful. Obedi is also considered beautiful, but he swears. In my whole life, I have never seen such a perfect woman.

After waking up, he saw Cai Ruichen who was already sitting in front of him. He also coughed at him, thinking of his identity and purpose of coming, he immediately sat up straight, resisting not to look at Qianhe, he was afraid that he would be lost again.

"Mr. Obedi, why are you here today?" Cai Ruichen asked calmly.

In fact, regarding Obaidi's arrival, Aziz, who is far away in Baghdad, has already sent him news that the Iraqi government has no money.

There is no more money to pay for the electricity bill of the Future Technology Group. The international oil price has dropped to 30 US dollars per barrel. This is a price that is completely lore for all oil-producing countries in the world.

The price of crude oil has dropped to 30 US dollars a barrel, and many exporting countries of crude oil can hardly even cover the cost.

Especially in war-torn Iraq, the cost of Iraqi oil exports has always been higher than 30 US dollars per barrel. The most important thing is that Iraq can only get part of the money for oil exports, and the other part is all in the hands of those elders or tribes. America sits aside for a piece of the action.

The tragedy is that the Iraqi government has to pay all the costs of oil extraction, transport the oil to the port, and transport or pipeline maintenance costs are also borne by the Iraqi government.

The monthly fiscal revenue of the Iraqi government has dropped to the lowest point in history, and the government has almost no money to maintain operations.

At present, the United States is also facing huge economic pressure due to oil prices, and it is not easy to live. Naturally, it is impossible to help Iraq.

In terms of military affairs, the United States can still support Iraq, but Americans are not philanthropists in the financial operation of this kind of domestic demand, so it is naturally impossible to help the Iraqi government.

At present, the Iraqi government has almost run out of ammunition and food, and its fiscal revenue can only barely maintain the basic living security of the citizens under its rule.

But once all the income is used to maintain basic living security, the Iraqi government has no money to pay for the army's expenses for this month.

At present, in order to maintain basic living security in the country, the Ministry of Finance of the Iraqi government has decided to use this money to maintain basic living security.

So it was the Minister of Defense's turn to have a headache, because the government needed the support of the people, but the army also needed support. Soldiers could be in arrears for a month's wages, but they couldn't keep arrears. Otherwise, things would get worse if the soldiers mutinied.

The wages of soldiers are the guarantee for maintaining the stability of the country, and now even the soldiers are almost hungry, so what's the point.

A country's government is indispensable in terms of rigid expenditure, otherwise it is called rigid expenditure, rigidity means that there is no bending at all, and there is no discount to speak of.

"To be honest, I came here this time to hope that the future science and technology group can help the government army and the country's financial revenue. This month, it has fallen into a huge crisis, and this oil war has not yet come to fruition, so..." Ou When Bedi said this, he couldn't continue. He had never thought about coming here to beg Cai Ruichen. He lowered his head and looked helpless.

"Do you want me to help the Iraqi government raise the army?" Cai Ruichen said sarcastically, "Then is this army mine or the government's?"

"What Dr. Cai misunderstood is not free. We are willing to borrow money from Future Technology Group. As long as the oil price recovers, we will repay the loan and interest as soon as possible." Hearing this, Obedi said hastily.

It is difficult to borrow money, especially for a country.

Cai Ruichen shook his head, and did not directly agree, but asked curiously: "With the fighting power of the government army, I really can't figure it out. Is it necessary to support such an army?" (To be continued.) Launch a new website
