Chapter 149 Wedge

From a distance, the Kempinski Hotel is like a huge castle, located near the Royal Palace of Abu Dhabi, with a beautiful private beach and a garden-like artificial island.

There is the largest auditorium, conference system, and well-known restaurants in the Middle East. The huge internal structure even requires golf carts to and from.

Its luxury is not only reflected in the dome and desert oasis, but it also has a more direct performance - gold! The interior furnishings of the Kempinski Hotel are mostly made of pure gold. Picture frames, wall stripes, table and chair edges, faucets, door handles, and tissue boxes are all pure gold.

If 11 people, 12 or 13 people come to rob the hotel, they'd better drive the same number of trucks, otherwise, the missing gold, works of art and cash will be regrettable for life.

Su Cheng checked in in the magnificent hall. While the attentive waiter helped carry the bag, a Chinese international student was specially invited to help translate in soft Mandarin.

Since Sucheng booked a hotel two days in advance, there is enough time to find a Chinese translator. Only in the United Arab Emirates in 1988, it was really difficult to find a translator from mainland China, so the young man named Li Wei they finally found was actually from Taiwan.

At this moment, while Li Wei was translating, he was still looking at Su Cheng curiously.

His voice is not loud or small, which is exactly the volume after the hotel training: if the guest wants to hear it, he can hear it very clearly, and if the guest wants to ignore it, he will not feel the noise, ...

Walking to the elevator, the Arab waiter pressed the elevator, and Li Wei whispered, "I used to translate for tour groups in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and it was the first time I met mainlanders. Are you a business event?"

Because of the relationship between the same Chinese, Su Cheng nodded and said, "Let's bid for the oil fields in the United Arab Emirates."

"The oil field that was just announced?"

"That's right."

"Are you a representative of China National Petroleum Corporation? I didn't expect..."

Su Cheng was about to speak when there was a "pop" of footsteps behind him, and someone raised his voice and said, "Mr. Su Cheng? You're here, too, haha"

The English voice used by the other party was so strong that it made people laugh, but Su Cheng didn't laugh.

Because the visitors are Hitoshi Moriyamano of Ito Corporation and Hiromatsu Sakaguchi of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Japan.

"Are you here too?" Su Cheng said in English with no expression on his face.

"We always have to try. We will cooperate with Dougson in the United States to bid. There is nothing we can do. Mr. Su Cheng is awesome. I heard that your company is going to bid alone? Haha, help you succeed." Moriyama Nohito's words were full of irony, and Hiromatsu Sakaguchi also smiled, and the previous humility and obedience disappeared without a trace.

Su Cheng nodded slightly and said, "You are very well-informed."

"It's not as good as Mr. Su Cheng. It's really unexpected that your Dahua Industry can get the news of the bidding for oil fields in the United Arab Emirates in advance."

"Actually, it's very simple. You told me."

"What?"

Su Cheng did not hide it. He walked into the elevator and said with a smile, "You are so eager to want the shallow sea oil drilling technology of Dahua Industry, which makes people wonder. So I did some research and found that the United Arab Emirates was going to sell oil fields.

Hiromatsu Sakaguchi smiled with a very bad face and said, "Don't thank me."

"Thank you very much. If I remember correctly, this is the first time that the United Arab Emirates has sold oil fields since 1979. Thanks to Ito Corporation and the Ministry of Industry. Without you, there would be no Arab trip.

Hiromatsu Sakaguchi "hummed" and said, "What can you do if you receive the news? Don't forget that the UAE oil field in 1979 was obtained by Japan."

"I just picked up the leftovers of the British, and I don't know how much you have paid."

He casually said a word, as if he had uncovered Hiromatsu Sakaguchi's wound, which greatly changed his face.

When Sakaguchi wanted to refute Su Cheng, the elevator door closed.

The elevator goes up to the 16th floor.

The door opens directly in the lobby of the room.

Kempinski has a total of 16 palace suites. In addition to the driver, another waiter has been waiting inside, and now he bows and salutes.

Su Cheng looked around with satisfaction and went to the bathroom to change his clothes and wash, leaving Li Wei, surprised as if it was the end of the world.

Although studying in Arabia for 5 years, Li Wei has only been to Kempinski three or four times and has never entered the palace suite. At this moment, looking at this hotel suite, which may be 500 square meters, or 600 square meters, with three large bedrooms and two small bedrooms, as well as a formal kitchen and dining room, Li Wei can't help thinking: The mainlanders can live in Kempinski. Will the missile be far away?

The next day, Zhang Haochang and others went to the Ministry of Petroleum of the United Arab Emirates to inquire about the tender.

Su Cheng stayed in the hotel to swim and had a big meal.

On the third day, Zhang Haochang and others, under the arrangement of the Chinese ambassador, went to the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Petroleum again to directly ask the Minister of Petroleum of the United Arab Emirates for details of the tender, and after collecting information, they will make an explanation report to the Ministry of Internal Energy.

Su Cheng met an English-speaking Arab beauty and had a big meal together.

On the fourth day, Zhang Haochang and others went to the Chinese Embassy for a full day for a conference call.

Su Cheng waited quietly in the hotel until the end of their conference call before calling back to China to find out the situation.

On the fifth day, Su Cheng slept in. When he woke up, he saw that Li Wei was already waiting in the living room.

"You can come at noon. I'm going to have lunch in my room and go out for a walk in the afternoon." Su Cheng found some drinks in the refrigerator, then picked up the service list next to the phone and prepared for room service. In order to facilitate his accommodation, the hotel has made an exquisite Chinese menu, although there are few customers who use Chinese here.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Mr. Su, aren't you here to bid for the oil field? Do you want me to contact the oil department of the United Arab Emirates for you?

Su Cheng looked at him strangely and said with a smile, "Why are you so positive?"

"Oh, I see that you don't seem to want to go out to understand the situation recently, so..." Li Wei finally summoned up the courage and gradually dispersed under Su Cheng's pressure eyes, and slowly whispered, "I'm also a petroleum student. I once fantasized that I could get an oil field for China one day. Although you are from the mainland, I think it's almost the same.

Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, laughed out loud and said, "I think it's good. However, you don't have to leave the hotel to understand the situation.

Li Wei was a little surprised and asked, "I have read that the tender did not even specify the location of the oil field. You should at least know the location of the oil field, otherwise, how to determine the bidding price without on-site inspection?

"You have really learned petroleum." Su Cheng chose the food. After ordering in English, he said to the impatient Li Wei, "Actually, so far, no one knows the location of the oil field."

"No one? What about the Minister of Petroleum? You can find a way to meet him. The Minister of the United Arab Emirates is not as difficult to see in Asia..."

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "The Minister of Petroleum also doesn't know the location of the oil field."

"How could it be..."

"You are an oil student, so you should know that if you know the location of the oil field, you may know the type of pelvic floor, then guess or directly understand the local settlement history, sedimentation history, cheese root type and maturity, and then establish an oil generation model to make a rational bidding curve, right?"

"Of course."

"The UAE will not want you to make a rational bidding curve, at least not now." Su Cheng turned over and smiled, "Of course, I'm not a pure guess. Through some channels, I have confirmed that the Minister of Petroleum does not know the location of the bidding oilfield. Now it seems that the United Arab Emirates first hopes to get some benefits and then gradually unravel the mystery. It is estimated that it will take more than two months to give The location of the oil field.

"Don't let everyone have time to explore in detail?"

"Well, such a big place is near the sea, so it can't be prevented, so it can only take time."

"But, someone always knows."

"The king and the crown prince must know." Su Cheng nodded slightly and said to himself, "West Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom have sent VIPs to the United Arab Emirates. Let's wait for them to talk first..."

"Wait for them to talk first?"

"That's right. By the way, you can find me some newspapers. In the past year or two, all the newspapers about the king and the crown prince have been found. You need to have photos.

Li Wei couldn't help laughing and said, "What's the use of that?"

"If you have the opportunity to stay in China for a few years, you will understand that all the news is in the newspaper." Su Cheng waved his hand and went to the bedroom to play the game machine.

Li Wei thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure it out, so he had to go to the newspaper. For such requirements, the hotel can help. The suite is equipped with 7 waiters to meet all kinds of strange requirements of guests.

Looking for newspapers within two years, it's normal to find 200 women to hold ** parties... Or, in places like Abu Dhabi, the latter is more normal.

Su Chengwo read the newspaper in the hotel for a few days, and Goro finally flew to the United Arab Emirates. He has never been abroad. Although he was taken care of, the time to apply for a passport was also extended accordingly, and he failed to catch the same flight.

Before he could sigh when he entered the luxurious Kempinski Hotel, he was amazed by the tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of newspaper photos in the room. Except for the ceiling and the upper half of the wall, the palace suite has been wrapped in newspapers.

In the hundreds of square meters of hall, all the furniture and furnishings were empty, the ground was full of cut photos, and the walls were covered with cut photos. Su Cheng walked on it barefoot and kept looking at them.

"What's going on?" It took a long time for Goro to say such a sentence.

Li Wei had time to speak in the future. Su Cheng looked up and said with a smile, "Goro is here. Come and help."

"Oh, good."

"Go and cut out the photos in those newspapers."

Only then did Goro find that there were still several waiters sitting on the balcony, all of whom were cutting photos there.

"What are we doing?" He couldn't help asking.

Su Cheng looked up and smiled, his eyes were full of blood, and said, "The embassy will not provide us with intelligence support. The local private detectives dare not follow the king and the crown prince. Formal channels have nothing to do with us, so we can only use stupid methods.

As he said, he picked up a photo, pasted it on the wall, and said, "Since we can't get in touch with the king and the crown prince, or even the members of the royal family, let's start with the people around the royal family."

Goro nodded stupidly and said, "What should I pay attention to?"

"Inconspicuous people. The more private doctors, photographers, drivers, bodyguards and journalists appear, the more they are valued by a member of the royal family, and those meetings with a limited number of people can also give them extra points.

" In the impression of Sioux City, the king of Iran trusted a photographer most, who defected to the United States after 9 years. Chinese leaders often trust drivers more than secretaries. The CIA recruits doctors as spies to collect intelligence from foreign leaders...

These messages are often not directly available to ordinary people, and these people around them are far more accessible than leaders and leadership staff.

Sucheng just needs a wedge.

It can be used not only to pry the royal family, but also to pry money.
