American Scandal King

Chapter 277 Goodbye Saddam

Four days later, Ian and the White House reached a preliminary agreement.

Ian founded an oil exploration company called Carl Oil, but it was actually just a shell company.

The White House will hand over the mining rights of the Missan oil fields to Ian's Carl Oil Industry, and at the same time allow Ian to hand over this part of the project to Chinese oil companies, but the major American oil companies must also obtain no less than 25% of the share in the Missan oil fields.

Of course, their 25% is not the profit distribution of mining rights, but the investment ratio, which means that the oil company still has to invest, but that has nothing to do with Ian.

The profit ratio of Ian's share of the money will remain unchanged, but the cost will increase slightly. For example, the profit of $8 will drop to $7, and a profit of $1 means no profit or even a loss. The bigwigs of the oil companies are currently interested in the project income rather than the oil field income for the Missan Oilfield, so they are also making various high bids.

But Ian accepted it, because the price he signed with the other party was based on time pricing, which would take up to five years at most. After five years, when production increased comprehensively, the other party would no longer be eligible for a share of the profits.

China also accepted it, and was even happy to do so... It was a good opportunity to learn something from American oil companies, and besides, they had no time limit.

China is now following the Americans, so they don't mind exchanging money and labor for technology. The lazier you are, the happier I am. I will do the work and you teach me the technology!
Isn’t this what a master does when he teaches his apprentice?

Everyone is happy!
Ian is essentially a middleman, the general contractor who then distributes the work to various locations.

Besides that, the military would give Ian's arms company 5 million yuan every year for a project, mainly to produce some military kettles and the like. You know what, this thing is really profitable.

Of course, this deal cannot be handed over to the Blackfire Company, which is doomed to go bankrupt, so Ian immediately set up a new company called Joel Company, which specializes in undertaking military projects.

The way it operates is to take over the project from the Iraqi military and then subcontract it to Black Fire. Black Fire is responsible for the "design". The military kettles also need to be updated, but in fact, this design is also tailored by China for American needs and given to Black Fire for free. Black Fire then subcontracts it to a Chinese factory to do it.

Joel Company and Blackfire Company are essentially subcontractors.

After the entire process, it would be good if the cost of the 5 million yuan worth of military supplies was million yuan, and another million yuan was given for bribery costs. As a thank you, Ian must of course give the two bosses some extra personal benefits, and at least pay some money out of his own pocket to show his friendship.

But Ian didn't expect to get more share because of this. Military orders were all placed by military-industrial enterprises, and the 5 million yuan was an additional part... Who wouldn't inflate consumption?

After the general direction was agreed upon, Ian left.

He was going back to see Saddam.

………………

A day later, Ian came to a village.

A Saddam soldier in civilian clothes was already waiting for him there.

After getting in the car, he directed Ian to drive away.

Ian said, "You drive."

The soldier didn't understand English and looked at him in confusion. Ian jumped directly to the passenger seat and motioned for him to sit in the driver's seat. Only then did the other party finally understand.

Ian rubbed his eyes and sighed.

Who can understand the pain of driving with myopia?

Fortunately, there are basically no traffic lights in this place, and the continuous small news in the country has also helped his eyesight to recover a little.

Because of the language barrier, there was little communication along the way. After driving for a day, they finally arrived at a village.

When Ian saw the team lineup, he felt both happy and disappointed.

The good news is that the number of people around Saddam has decreased a lot, and now there are only more than 150 people. The bad news is that his assets are also decreasing.

It’s only been twelve days, how come there’s one car missing?

It’s hard for me to explain to Paul Bremer and the others!

Forget it, let’s go back and distribute it a bit and load fifteen cars into sixteen.

Car is a fuzzy unit of measurement, I like it!
Saddam was also very excited to see Ian come back at this moment.

He went over personally and gave Ian a warm hug: "How is it?"

Ian nodded. "They had originally planned to launch a nationwide offensive in a month, but now they've paused. On the surface, they'll still be hunting you, but they won't be in such a hurry. I've bought you six months. You have time to reorganize your forces and launch an underground resistance. But you can't use your money for now. You'll have to send some back later."

Saddam shook his head repeatedly: "Six months is too short."

Oh my god, are you losing confidence again? Ian put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, things are moving forward step by step. We're suspending the pursuit for six months today, and I can ask them to suspend it again after six months. You know I have the ability to do it. And with me here, I can guarantee that even in the worst possible moment, you can leave Iraq alive!"

Ian has now completely positioned himself in the insurance industry.

Health insurance!

The best protection for your life!
While talking to Saddam, Ian learned about the recent situation.

Sure enough, Saddam had been constantly sending people out to organize various forces across the country in an attempt to counterattack.

But this kind of organization is so fucking useless!

In fact, in the old time and space, Saddam had been on the run for more than half a year and had never organized a decent counterattack. However, Saddam never gave up and always believed that he could recreate the Chinese miracle, which is why he never left Iraq.

You are not a teacher!

The teacher's toenails are better at fighting and more charismatic than you, okay?
Saddam’s biggest problem was his lack of self-awareness, but unfortunately he never understood it until his death.

So Ian said seriously: "While the US military will not attack the north now, I suggest you send more skilled personnel to contact all parties!"

Saddam said sadly: "I don't have so many people anymore."

Ian laughed and said, "We don't need that many people for protection. The more people there are, the greater the possibility of exposure."

There is actually something wrong with what you said. You have already said that the US military will not pursue me for the time being, so why are you still mentioning the possibility of being exposed?
Saddam Hussein didn't realize this. He thought carefully and nodded, saying, "Okay! I'll send half of my troops. Iraq will fight back. My people everywhere are waiting for me to lead them to defeat this invasion!"

Ian smiled and nodded: "Of course, you are the one that everyone wants!"

My eyes don't hurt.

There's no need to hypnotize this guy now, Ian's brainwashing has already been deeply rooted.

………………

During the escape, Ian had no palace to enjoy, and he only had an ordinary house.

There were still bloodstains on the wall.

Brydeson told him: Saddam was becoming more and more brutal, especially after he knew that Ian had to bribe those officials with money, he was reluctant to spend money, so he chose to kill some uncooperative villagers directly.

The good news is that this was all captured on camera.

"Fuck!" Ian was furious.

He cried out, "Then why is there a cartload of goods missing?"

Brydeson: "..."

I thought your anger was about Saddam's killing of innocent people.

This is indeed very Ian Carr!

Van Nister said, "Most of the money used to bribe the armed forces outside is gold. The antiques and famous paintings were left untouched. These things are not worth much at this stage."

"That's good." Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

Gold can be recovered, but antiques are not so convenient. As long as the bosses' personal pockets are not damaged, he can easily explain it.

Then he looked at the girls in the room and wondered, "Why are there only two? Where's the other one?"

Clark said: "Sent away by Saddam, women are also resources."

Ian's face darkened. "Go tell Saddam he can't take my share. Make him pay me with another one!"

Pity.

Ian originally wanted to save these girls, but he didn't expect to save one less.

Then we can only get another one from Saddam. I don’t mind if you use it, brother!
