Chapter 850: There are always some people who say that I am greedy for life and afraid of death
The culture of many places is often linked to history.
It's like Dubai.
Two hundred years ago, it was just a small fishing village.
Soon after, the local sheikh signed a co-ordination agreement with England, and ten years later, the Naha family of the wealthiest emirate of Abu Dhabi moved here to establish the Emirate of Dubai.
In the days that followed, with the war and struggle, the chiefs rotated and drifted away from the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
It was not until the 70s of the last century, with the withdrawal of England, that Dubai declared its independence and adopted the currency of the surrounding emirates: the dirham.
But England has made Dubai, and has imprinted the noble image of the English people and Western culture into Dubai's bones.
As a result, regardless of who makes up Dubai's population, the English always have the highest status locally.
This has led to a cult of England in Dubai, prompting many wealthy emirates to travel to England to buy property.
As a direct consequence, Dubai has adopted English standards for many processes in terms of construction, and the writing system is generally in English, and even the electrical plug is also a British standard.
When everything is in England, it radiates to other institutions, such as English language schools, English hospitals, English lawyers, English accounting firms...... All were very popular.
As a further effect, 'Nationality Endorsement' gives a buff.
Even homeless people from England, as long as they have an English passport and an English face, they can become an elite and upper-class person in Dubai, and they can also enjoy tax-free high salaries.
In this environment, England intervenes in the artificial world island, and perhaps Dubai is really likely to default.
After all, this is 02 years, and the Chinese people who are active in Dubai are just workers, and there are no Chinese tourists who have not 'spent money' to make Dubaiites feel very rich, or in other words, status is directly proportional to influence.
As for the liquidated damages, Ge Xiaotian did not plan to pit Dubai, and the agreement marked that 'compensation depends on the progress of the project', and the construction has not started at present, so naturally there will not be much liquidated damages.
"Eleven, help me analyze the composition of Dubai's rich. ”
"First the Hamdan royal family, followed by the family behind Monkey Saile, then the Atum family, and the fourth is Shetty, a medicine merchant from the third brother, who is in charge of the Dubai Exchange. After that, two natives of the emirate, two third brothers, and five oil country tycoons ......"
"In what way do you think England will intervene in the World Island project, co-opt these tycoons, use the English top brass to influence Dubai, or use the assets of the emirates' tycoons in England as a blackmail?"
"There should be both. ”
"All have ......"
Ge Xiaotian opened the map of Dubai, looked at it for a long time, and the administrative secretary knocked on the office door.
"Boss, the leader of the railway construction is here. ”
"Oh?"
Ge Xiaotian got up and was about to go out, but at the bidding meeting for the Incheon Bridge, a middle-aged man who had a relationship with each other happened to come to the door.
"Leader, come to me, and don't say hello in advance. ”
Do you want me to shout downstairs: Ge Xiaotian, I'm here to knock on the door?"
"Haha...... Serve tea. ”
Both sides are seated.
The leader of the railway construction looked around the office furnishings and looked at the potted plants on the desk, "These three dog's tail grasses are quite individual." ”
"I like it, I will send you back, in fact, the trumpet flower next to it is also good. ”
"Then I'll be disrespectful. ”
"Hey, what are you talking about? ”
Ge Xiaotian reached a No. 13 cigar, "Leader, are you here today?"
"Oh, my superiors told me that Tiancheng took a big project in Dubai, but Ma Liu couldn't get through, there were pirates around the bypass, and the highway from Huaxia to Pakistan couldn't withstand the heavy construction equipment, so I wanted to help you get together a batch of machinery to use first. ”
"Can you arrange that?"
"Our main force is negotiating the railway upgrade project with Pakistan, there are many problems, and the equipment is idle at present, as long as you can transport it yourself, you can use it as you like. ”
"You're still arrogant. ”
Although the equipment used for sand blowing and reclamation is different from that used to lay railways, there are always some machinery that can be used in construction, such as power generation, lighting, refrigeration, and welding.
Ge Xiaotian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and politely refused: "I'm bothering you, the executives of South Africa's Tiancheng Group have arrived in Dubai, and the follow-up troops will be in place in a day or two." ”
"That's good. ”
The leader of the railway construction nodded, "Although Tiancheng built the Incheon Bridge and accumulated some overseas construction experience, it is different from this side, and the ship is carefully sailed." ”
"Yes. ”
"It's not easy to go out, if there is any difficulty, we can contact us at any time. ”
"No problem. ”
"Very good, then I won't bother, the old money of Haiyou is waiting for me to play cards." ”
"Haha, I'll send you. ”
Ge Xiaotian accompanied the leader of Tiejian to the downstairs and took a black business card from Dao Shiyi's hand, "Leader, you can take this away, if there is any emergency over there, you may need it." ”
The latter glanced at the card with only the Templar's logo and contact information, and smiled, "You kid really have business with them?"
"Some customers like to fly around, no way. ”
"Haha, let's go. ”
Waiting for the leaders of the railway construction to get on the car, Ge Xiaotian was just about to return, when an officially customized Dynamic Fighter sedan drove in the distance.
The back door opened, and the leader of the second construction, who also had a relationship with each other in the bidding meeting of the Incheon Bridge, got out of the car.
"Hey, you're so well informed?"
"You're too worried, I'm just going down to pee. ”
“......”
Both of them laughed and walked into the hall.
Except for the billion-level project, almost no outsiders came to the headquarters, so Ge Xiaotian didn't go upstairs, but signaled to sit in the middle area.
"Leader, I heard that Erjian has taken over two 500-meter buildings in Dubai?"
"Last year's project, the year after that, was completed. ”
"It's too slow, why don't I support you with a batch of automation equipment, such as electric climbing frames, super high-rise water pumps, and concrete pumps. ”
"Then you're welcome. ”
"Coincidentally, Tiancheng and Dubai have reached a cooperation agreement on special cement and defect-free concrete, and I can help you replace it with aggregate produced by both parties. ”
"You're pulling business, huh?"
"Where, the faster we build, the greater the influence, today I am deeply touched. ”
"What's wrong?"
"England intends to intervene in the World Island project. ”
"Normally, you go to Dubai to engage in general contracting, and the project is unique, which means that you have robbed countless people of their jobs, no English designers, no English managers, no English construction companies, no materials of English companies, if you replace me, you will also be involved. ”
"Ha, that makes sense. ”
"How are you going to solve it?"
"If you do it, you do it cleanly. ”
"Oh?"
"Engage in a few more projects, expand the influence, and then promote Tiancheng Standards. ”
"It's hard. ”
"When Tiancheng started, it was also difficult. And now, aren't many construction standards, even international standards, written by nature?"
"I just like your drive, if you have any difficulties, feel free to contact you. ”
"You're here today?"
"I was going to ask if you needed support, but before I could say anything, you sold me electric climbing frames, super high-rise water pumps, special cement, and defect-free concrete, but now it seems that I don't need it. ”
"Haha, see you in Dubai. ”
"Huh, you're going to go there yourself?"
"But in the past, there are always some people who say that I am greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
"You can't see those things on the Internet, otherwise you will be angry to death sooner or later, and besides, maybe it will be a law of agitation that will force you to go abroad. ”
"Who have we been afraid of?"
Ge Xiaotian said, dialing Gao Song's phone, "Is the AR device installed?
Second Construction Leader: "???"
