Chapter 843 - Invited to Visit!
King Salman kindly invited Yang Jie to visit the Great Food Country, but Yang Jie was also difficult to refuse, so he had to follow His Majesty the King to Riyadh, the capital of the Great Food Country. ∵ Eight ∵ Eight ∵ Read ∵ Books, .↗.▲o
When he arrived in Riyadh City, Yang Jie was also warmly welcomed by the Great Food Country, and he also lived in His Majesty's Oga Palace, which is rarely seen except for the royal nobles.
This palace is extremely luxurious, not only the tables and chairs are supported by gold, but even the cardboard boxes are made of gold.
The royal family and nobles of the Great Food Country have about 100 children of the former king, more than 30 sons, and counting the members of the royal family, there are currently more than 5,000 princes, of which 2,000 are core members, and they control the royal family's investment of up to 600 billion US dollars abroad.
In addition to Urga Palace, there are many luxurious residences of royal nobles around the world, but their total number and total value are never revealed to the public.
The king of the Great Food Country has the right not to disclose his wealth, but some media have reported that the total wealth of the Great Food Kingdom royal family may reach 1.4 trillion US dollars.
The royal family of the Great Food is a very large family, a considerable amount of oil wealth is concentrated in the royal family, the personal assets of the previous king have 20 billion US dollars, in addition to the Lulu, the royal family of the Great Food has a family company to obtain commercial income, in addition to the commercial agency is also part of the royal family's income, in the oil, arms and other bulk trade, the royal family also has a commission.
The King of the Great Food Country also had the enviable privilege of having a private prison, a special prison for erring princes and profligate princesses, who would become their "new abode" if they refused to pay their bills.
Another privilege is that the wealth of the Great Food Kingdom is not disclosed, and the wealth of the royal family of the Great Food Country is linked to a variety of assets in the country, estimated to be worth up to $1.4 trillion, and outsiders have no way of knowing how much of it belongs to King Salman personally.
The king's travel is protected by a large number of bodyguards every time, and this time he spent a few days with His Majesty the king, Yang Jie also had deep feelings about his huge entourage. °C∮ 8°C∮8°C∮ read °C∮ book, .⌒.o≈
Yang Jie's entourage in China is more than ten people, and the entourage team abroad has thirty or forty people, and the king's entourage is several times his.
At the same time, some members of the royal family of the Great Food Country have "non-budgetary" projects, including, for example, the construction of mosques and the strategic reserve of the Ministry of Defense, which spend about $10 billion a year, which are very secret and not regulated by the Ministry of Finance.
However, Yang Jie is not very interested in the luxurious life of the big food royal family, and he really can't look down on this kind of practice of relying on God to reward food and sell resources.
Now Huaxing Group earns more money every year than the entire country of Big Food Country, but Yang Jie's money is used by him for various research and development, which is his greatest pleasure, and he is not interested in such a luxurious lifestyle as Big Food Country.
In the evening, he also received a thick piece of information from Du Yunlong's hands, Huaxing Group Company has conducted various investigations in the Middle East in recent years, and the secretariat has written a data report after sorting it out in the past few days.
In the past few days, King Salman mentioned to Yang Jie that Da Shiguo wants to develop seawater desalination projects and solar energy, and Yang Jie naturally wants to understand some of the actual situations here and do his homework.
Huaxing Group has built a solar power station in Dubai in the past two years, which is a clear understanding of the natural environment here, although it is said that the sunshine here is sufficient, the solar energy resources are abundant, and it has the natural advantages of developing solar energy, but the unique natural environment here also puts forward strict requirements for the quality and performance of modules.
Compared with ordinary modules, the double-sided double-glass modules can not only greatly increase the power generation, but also adapt to the harsh local natural environment, and have more advantages in terms of sand resistance and service life.
In addition, the technical team has also developed technologies such as photovoltaic tracking to increase the total power generation of the project.
Such products have also been welcomed by Dubai, which has now signed a billion-dollar solar power plant construction contract with Huaxing Group.
King Salman also told Yang Jie after the visit that the Great Food Country should also introduce products and technologies to build more solar power stations in the territory of the Great Food Country.
Because of the large-scale use of gallium nitride components in other products in recent years, the preparation of gallium nitride crystal materials and the processing cost of devices have been greatly reduced, and the cost of solar modules has also been reduced.
Huaxing's current bid price is about 25% cheaper than the price of natural gas power generation, and if the scale of production capacity increases, the total investment cost of the project will be further reduced.
Big food country is also with Eagle sauce domestic photovoltaic technology companies to prepare for the development of solar power stations in the country, but the scale is very small, after the oil price goes up, the big food country has no power to develop solar energy, after the oil price comes down, and then think of the development of solar energy, so back and forth several times after the big food country to the current solar power station can not form a scale, and the previous photovoltaic technology company that cooperated with the big food country has long been bankrupt and closed.
However, now the whole international situation is different, the international oil prices are at a relatively low level, these oil resource giants are not much space to raise oil prices, because the rabbit country's domestic hydrogen energy has become the mainstream, the growth rate of oil imports has become very slow, the import of coal resources has increased significantly, the rabbit country imports coal resources mainly from Eagle Sauce, South America and Africa and other places, and the rabbit country itself is a big country of coal resources, and the import price of coal resources has not increased much.
In the past two years, Huayuan Group's fuel cell products have also been exported to these countries, and some hydrogen oil filling stations have also sprung up in Dubai.
It is no wonder that the king of Salman is in a hurry to invite Yang Jie to come over to talk about cooperation, if the big food country does not find other energy resources that can be exported, then the good days of the royal family thinking about making money on oil resources in the future will be gone forever.
Maybe the royal family can continue to live a luxurious life, but the life of the lower classes of the country will definitely become miserable, which will naturally cause great social unrest.
Since the 1980s, the oil revenues of the oil-producing countries in the Middle East have increased rapidly, but the oil wealth is only concentrated in a few families and wealthy families, and the ordinary people have not benefited much.
Because state power is in the hands of a few families, its economic reforms often sacrifice the interests of the people to preserve their own privileges, resulting in a widening gap between the rich and the poor, and many national reforms have failed.
Moreover, because of the rapid increase in population, the number of working people in the villages and agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery on the edge of the vast desert in the Middle East is limited, so the younger generation is less and less satisfied with the life of rural towns like their parents, but more yearns to realize the value of life in cities, especially big cities, which is also the basic reason for the excessive urbanization of Middle Eastern countries.
The direct consequence of excessive urbanization is the continuous rise in unemployment, because the economic structure of Middle Eastern countries is often characterized by the dominance of the oil industry, the underdevelopment of the modern industrial system, and the underdevelopment of the tertiary industry, so the industrial structure is relatively simple, and the ability to create urban employment opportunities is very limited.
According to the survey report, the unemployment rate of young people aged 15 to 24 in the big food country is as high as 30%, and the unemployed young people have energy and vitality but cannot find a place to play, and it is very easy to fall into confusion and turmoil, and the huge gap between the rich and the poor is easy to turn this confusion and turmoil into dissatisfaction with the ruling authorities and society, especially the drunken life shown by the royal family is easy to attract hatred.
The interweaving of these two sentiments easily led the unemployed youth to become the main force of social radical movements, sectarian strife, and mín zú chōng tū.
It can be said that many Middle Eastern countries are now sitting on a huǒ yào barrel that will detonate at any time. 11
