Chapter 82: Prince Rashid
Although Rashid had just come to Cuifeng Village, and although it was the first time he had seen the Blood Lion mercenaries, he could accurately see what status each one was.
The place where Konno Qing sat surrounded Li Chong, Lau Lin, and Bupo Zhesheng, indicating that she had a relatively high status among the Blood Lion mercenaries.
Tana is in charge of the meal, and this work must be handled by someone who is absolutely reliable, and in addition, Tana will smile and chat with everyone when she cooks, which shows that she is more popular.
So it is conceivable that Tana and Konno Harushi must have some influence on Cang Hao, so the gifts they get from the two of them are the most expensive.
As for Hongmenlan, not only did she come late, but she didn't greet anyone after she came in, which showed that she didn't have a high status among the Blood Lion mercenaries, at least her popularity was not very good, so Rashid gave her an ordinary piece.
This made Cang Hao a little emotional, Rashid is not only good at reincarnation, but also good at being a man.
Who dares to say that the rich second generation must have no brains, anyone who has no brains is not rich enough, and there are no fools who are rich to a certain extent, and it is impossible to keep such a big family business if they don't have a little brain.
Hongmenlan didn't care, after saying "thank you", she went to eat.
Coincidentally, it was at this time that Rothschild and Rondblok came to dinner.
The two Jews, who found that the dining room was full of Arabs, were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, and quietly withdrew, returning to their own quarters, without showing up.
Rashid didn't notice the two Jews, but Cang Hao saw it and was immediately relieved.
It is not known whether Rothschild and Rondblok knew who Rashid was, or whether Rashid knew these two Jews, but in any case, Jews and Arabs are bitter enemies after all, and it is better not to meet.
Speaking of which, it is not very convenient for Rashid to come to Cuifeng Village, because the group of Kakozhiya also live here.
Rashid is a prince and Amelia is a princess, but the prince and princess have little to do with each other, and the two have different beliefs and have nothing in common.
The key is Amelia's subordinate Abeyi, after all, he was the leader of Kaiida, and it is very likely that Rashid knows about this person.
Cuifeng Village lives here with the former ****, if Rashid knows, I don't know how to feel.
The possibility cannot be ruled out that the Abu Dhabi royal family has some kind of connection with Al Qaeda, and since Abeyi is a traitor to Al Qaeda, the Abu Dhabi side may not be friendly to Abeyi.
Luckily, Amelia has been busy keeping in touch with her home country these days and rarely leaves her residence, and Abeyi is always by her side.
The meals of the two men were brought to the room by Abeyi's men, and they did not come to the dining room to eat.
Cang Hao made a gesture of please: "Since you are here, let's eat something together." ”
"Your kindness is appreciated. Rashid smiled: "You also know that we have some special dietary requirements, and we can't just eat out. ”
As he spoke, Rashid clapped his hands, and his entourage immediately took action, took out a large amount of various food and drinks, and put them in front of Cang Hao and Rashid.
This time, Rashid prepared more food, different dishes than at noon, and in larger quantities, bringing a lot of dishes to everyone present.
It seems that Rashid considered that he should try to win the support of the people around Cang Hao, and he ignored the ink master at noon, so he made up for it in the evening.
Cang Hao roughly estimated that Rashid came to Cuifeng Village once, and more than 10 million yuan was spent on it, this is really a local tyrant prince.
Cang Hao sighed: "The extravagance of you Arab princes and nobles is really worthy of its reputation!"
"I know many of your legends. Rashid smiled and said, "I can't pay tribute to you, that's the only way." ”
"What legend do you know about me?"
"I know about the Giza Hotel operation. Rashid said directly: "It was you who led the assault team to the hotel, fought fiercely against Aeda, and rescued all the hostages." ”
"Oh. Cang Hao smiled meaningfully: "I think you should hate me." ”
"Why hate you?" Rashid immediately understood: "Do you think the Abu Dhabi royal family is a supporter of Al Qaeda?"
"I didn't say that, and there is no evidence to prove it, it's just that ......" Cang Hao said word by word: "Kaiida's survival to this day is inseparable from the protection and connivance of certain countries. ”
"I admit it. "But I assure you that Abu Dhabi has never supported or sympathized with any terrorist organization. We are not responsible for the actions of these organizations and in fact we are often victims of them. ”
Cang Hao carefully observed the micro-expression between Rashid's eyebrows, and finally decided that what Rashid said was the truth.
At this time, Konno Harushi walked over and asked with a smile: "Handsome guy, you say that you are from Abu Dhabi, where is this country?"
"Abu Dhabi can be said to be a country, or it can be said that it is not ......," Rashid patiently explained to Haru Konno: "There were many small countries in the Middle East ruled by sheikhs who were forced to accept British colonial rule in the 19th century. By the seventies of the twentieth century, the British colonial rule ended, and six of the emirates formed a federation, the United Arab Emirates, or the United Arab Emirates for short. And these six emirates are Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah, um Al Quwain, and Ajman, and later, Ras Al Khaimah also joined the UAE, so there are seven emirates in total. These emirates have relatively large autonomy, each has its own royal family, and our territory in Abu Dhabi is the largest, with more than 67,000 kilometers. ”
"I've heard of Dubai. Imano Qing said excitedly: "There are local tyrants everywhere. ”
"Obviously, among the emirates of the UAE, Dubai is the most well-known. Rashid smiled indifferently and said, "They have their own royal family, and they have some in-laws with us in Abu Dhabi, but they are not related by blood. ”
Rashid said more simply, the full name of the royal family in Abu Dhabi is the Al Nahyan family, which exercises hereditary rule over Abu Dhabi.
Unlike Dubai's high-profile profile, the Al Nahyan family has always been very low-key and takes the privacy of their members very seriously, so they are more mysterious to the outside world.
In fact, in terms of wealth, the Al Nahyan family is beyond the royal family in Dubai.
Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE, and the sheikh of Abu Dhabi is also the president of the UAE, which is determined by strength.
The Abu Dhabi royal family owns the Abu Dhabi consortium, which is involved in a number of industries, and according to public data, the consortium is ranked among the best in the world.
The reason why we say "open data" is that there are many invisible riches, secret consortia and hidden families, who are hidden in the shadows, and no one knows how much wealth they have.
Konno Harushi asked jokingly: "So who is richer than you and the Rothschilds?"
Konno Haru has nothing to provoke, but this issue is very critical, and Cang Hao carefully observes Rashid's expression, which he wants to use to judge Rashid's attitude towards the Jews.
"The Rothschilds, of course they are famous...... Rashid just smiled, and his tone was very flat: "I know that there is an economist in your country...... Oh, and perhaps it should be said that he is a wild economist, because he is not really engaged in economic teaching and research, his name is Song Hongbing, and he wrote a book called "Currency Wars". I read this book when I was studying in China, and I felt that it was a bunch of nonsense, and it is a pity that this book has a huge influence in your country. ”
"Oh?" Konno asked with interest, "What is he talking nonsense?"
"If you want to completely refute the contents of this book, you need to write another book, so I'll talk about it briefly......" After a pause, Rashid told Haru Konno: "Song Hongbing's description of the Rothschilds as too powerful and too ruthless, and the fact that all world finance in the past hundred years has been described as a Jewish conspiracy, has violated the common sense of economics. In fact, the Rothschilds were indeed very powerful, and the reason why the Rothschild family was able to rise was because of its integrity, because of the business acumen of the Jews, and because the founder of the family, Meyer, sent his sons to different countries in Europe. ”
Konno Qing shook his head vigorously: "The first two are easy to understand, and the latter one is not understood." ”
"In those days, there was no information technology to speak of, and the transfer of information between different regions was very slow. Old Meyer's approach has enabled the family to establish an internal network in Europe, and each member of the family has its own extensive interpersonal relationships, so that the information obtained from all parties can be gathered together, and the financial market market can be manipulated by manipulating the information, so there is a huge arbitrage space. Rothschild patiently explained in detail: "For example, if there is a war between two European countries, country A wins the final victory. At that time, it would take some time for the news of this victory to reach the market. However, the Rothschilds got the news in advance and spread the news in the market that country A had been defeated. As a result, the national debt of country A fell off a cliff, and the Rothschilds took the opportunity to eat a large amount. When the news of country A's victory comes, country A's national debt rises rapidly, and the Rothschilds open positions at the lowest level, you can imagine how much room for profit there will be. ”
(Chu Ci note: Regarding this historical incident that Rashid said, old readers should have the impression that it was mentioned when the Rothschilds first appeared, and this war was in 1815, when the Seventh Anti-French Coalition fought against Napoleon at Waterloo, and the Rothschilds were the biggest winners of this war.) In fact, this is just one of the Rothschilds' victories, and there are many similar examples that build the Rothschilds myth. Although Chu Ci writes novels, they involve real knowledge and history. )
Konno Qing was taken aback: "It is said that he makes money by spreading rumors?"
"Let's just say that, but in the financial markets, this method is very common, and it is not how despicable it is, and the only blame is that the Rothschilds are too shrewd. Shaking his head with a smile, Rashid continued: "However, with the establishment of the modern national financial order, under the dual control of the central banks and the Ministry of Finance of various countries, especially with the rapid development of communication technology, it is difficult for such arbitrage space to appear, and the Rothschild family is no longer in the limelight." Of course, the family is still rich, but not as amazing as the legend suggests. In this world, there are many groups lurking in the shadows, far more powerful than the Rothschilds. ”
Konno Qing nodded: "Understood!"
"Jews do have extraordinary financial acumen and great influence, and the successive chairmen of the Federal Reserve Board of State M are Jews. Jews also have secret societies that secretly exert an important influence on many things. Speaking of this, Rashid smiled sarcastically: "But if the world has been manipulated by the Jews for the past hundred years, it is really too difficult for them......"
Cang Hao added: "Actually, the set of things in "Currency War" is not original to Song Hongbing, it has existed in country M for many years, and it is called a conspiracy theory. Song Hongbing was working in country M, and he happened to know about conspiracy theories, and felt that it was very marketable, so he pieced together and wrote "Currency War". But he is not a translator, but a self-proclaimed original, and in the end he is just picking up people's teeth. ”
