PS: Thank you very much!

On the morning of the day after Ewell accepted Andrew's job offer, Andrew accompanied Ewell to Chelsea Football Club.

In the morning, Andrew accompanied Ewell on a tour of Chelsea FC.

In the afternoon, Andrew convened a meeting of the club's top management. At the meeting, Andrew first welcomed Ms Ewell to the Chelsea Football Club community. And determined the job position and work content of Ewell.

Completed the personnel changes of Chelsea Football Club. Andrew took advantage of his free time before the start of school with Emma, fell in love with the two, seized the good time, and got tired of it for a few days.

Until January 10, the University of Oxford opened. Accompanied his girlfriend Emma, after completing the enrollment procedures, he returned to London. And Andrew's vacation will also be over, and he will be back to work.

January 12, 1976 was a good day for the official opening of the successful investment bank in the Middle East.

Mr. Lehman invited Andrew when the opening date was confirmed at the end of last year.

Since Andrew did not confirm the itinerary at that time, he delayed it.

Now, Andrew has taken care of London. I also have time to participate in the official opening ceremony of Successful Investment Bank in the Middle East.

Mr. Lehman was informed that he would fly to Dubai, United Arab Emirates tomorrow, January 11, and asked him to arrange a pick-up.

On January 12, 1976, at 9:58 a.m., the official opening ceremony of the Middle East Success Investment Bank began.

The opening ceremony of the successful investment bank in the Middle East, Mr. Lehman arranged it very grandly. Many guests from the political and business circles in the Middle East were invited to participate, and well-known performing arts stars were invited to perform live.

At the opening party that followed, accompanied by Mr. Lehman, Andrew also met with many political and business leaders in the Middle East.

Spent a grand, lively first day in Dubai. At night, Andrew lay on the bed in his hotel and began to look forward to tomorrow's trip to Dubai.

In Andrew's previous life memory, Dubai is a very famous emerging tourist city. In my previous life, the most impressive is the Palm Island, one of the largest land renovation projects in the world, known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". The island is home to a myriad of exquisite luxury hotels and resorts, as well as numerous luxury yachts or speedboats.

On both sides is an artificial island in the shape of a palm island, each "palm leaf" is a villa complex, and in front of each villa is an artificial beach bay, which is very luxurious.

Another impressive feature is Dubai's signature desert ride, where you can drive into the sand to be "baptized" in the desert, and the unique weightlessness of the desert will greatly challenge your driving skills.

Or ride a camel through the desert and watch the desolate scene of the desert being lonely and the sun setting over the long river.

On the morning of the second day of his arrival in Dubai, Andrew, who was in high spirits, embarked on a one-day tour of Dubai, accompanied by the hotel staff.

The first choice is, of course, the "Eighth Wonder of the World", the Palm Island. But when he drove to the seaside of Dubai, Andrew was dumbfounded, but what he saw in front of him was a deserted beach.

Desolate, inaccessible, with no buildings. The strong drop made Andrew stunned for a while, stunned, without focus, looking at the desolate beach in front of him.

After a moment of stunnedness, Andrew reacted. Yes, what era is it now! Dubai is just beginning to develop!

The prosperous scene in the memory of the previous life has not yet been established, and it is a joke to want to be here, sightseeing or something. No wonder, the hotel service staff, when they heard that Andrew was going to the beach, had a blank look.

Yes, what is there to do on the beach now, is it to experience, the desolate feeling of the beach?

Andrew, who had an oolong incident, had no choice but to return stupidly. Then, Andrew learned to be obedient and learned more about the desert tour from the hotel service staff.

Fortunately, there are no oolong incidents in the desert. Andrew experienced the feeling of being "baptized" by driving into the sand in the desert, and experienced the weightlessness that is unique to driving in the desert.

Then, Andrew rode a camel and shuttled through the desert, experiencing the desolate scene of the desert and the sunset over the long river.

This is the end of the day, and we will return to the hotel in the afternoon. At this moment, Andrew also extinguished the beautiful vision in his heart. In the next few days, let's learn more about the business development of Middle East Investment Bank and Pan Asia Construction.

But the development of things is often unsatisfactory. At dinner time, Mr. Raymond came to Andrew's hotel and explained his intentions.

The opening of the Middle East Success Investment Bank is the first foreign bank with considerable strength in Dubai.

The Dubai government attaches great importance to this. Prepare to host a party tomorrow at noon, at the town hall, to welcome the arrival of the host Andrew.

Mr. Raymond also explained that after the welcome party at the town hall. There will also be an invitation from the Dubai government to talk.

At that time, the Emirate of Dubai, an important decision-maker in economic development, will invite Andrew to discuss the economic development model of the Emirate of Dubai.

Andrew is happy to see the good things that can deal with the Dubai government, so he readily agreed.

At noon the next day, Mr. Lehman accompanied Andrew to a welcome party hosted by the Dubai government at the City Hall.

At the welcome party, Andrew met the second son of the Emirate of Dubai, Hamdan bin Rashid Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Municipal Council, who is responsible for Dubai's economic and trade work.

After the welcome party, Hamdan graciously invited, Andrew and Mr. Raymond, to a private meeting. Andrew was also glad to agree to Hamdan's invitation.

In the VIP hall of the municipal government, the two sides exchanged friendly greetings. Speaking of which, Hamdan is also Andrew's third-year senior in the economics department of the University of Oxford.

With this layer of alumni relationship in the same department, the conversation between the two sides is more harmonious. Hamdan also asked Andrew more directly why he took a fancy to Dubai and set up his headquarters in the Middle East here.

In this regard, Andrew happened to have the justification for the rhetoric that he had prepared before:

One, Dubai has a tradition of trade and commerce.

Dubai has a long history of trade development and has an important trading position in the region. The Dubai Trench has played an important role in the prosperity of this trading hub. Small and medium-sized ships carrying a wide range of cargo to the Gulf (i.e., the Persian Gulf), the Indian subcontinent and East African countries use the Dubai Trench as an important and safe harbor.

Second, Dubai's strategic location

Dubai, which is located in the middle of the UAE's 400-mile coastline and the southeast of the Persian Gulf, helps it play an active role in connecting international routes and connecting the east and west for the exchange of goods.

Third, Dubai's attitude towards building infrastructure.

Among the countries in the Middle East, Dubai is the most determined to build infrastructure. Moreover, there are plans to build infrastructure.

For Andrew's rhetorical reasons, Hamdan still agrees with it. Basically, Dubai's advantages are said, especially the Dubai infrastructure construction arrangement that Hamdan is personally responsible for, which is also said by Andrew to be a major advantage of Dubai. This gave Hamdan a forward-looking vision of Andrew and the feeling of meeting a confidant on the road.

In the following discussion, with the memory of his previous life, combined with the current situation of the times, Andrew's remarks and descriptions are very relevant to the development trajectory of Dubai. Hamdan and Dubai government officials can't help but admire and admire.

First, the strategy of economic diversification. Strengthening export and entrepot trade in the non-oil economy has made Dubai an important import, export and entrepot trade hub in the Middle East and the Gulf region.

Secondly, the role of Dubai's strategic location has been strengthened, and the liberal economic policy has been adopted, which has made it well-known in the international business and economic circles, thereby encouraging domestic and foreign capital to enter Dubai and developing Dubai's commercial, industrial and service sectors.

Third, the use of the development funds brought about by the oil economy to rapidly develop and improve urban infrastructure will play a positive role in promoting economic development, social progress, and improving people's living standards. At the same time, it also creates a good environment for foreign capital to enter Dubai.

Fourth, the reuse of Dubai's international trade market will strengthen the construction of tourism infrastructure and vigorously develop the tourism industry while developing the economy.

The construction of some of the world's best, with man-made landscapes as a way to enhance Dubai's reputation, attract foreign investment and international tourists, and plan to build the world's largest shopping mall and the world's tallest commercial and residential towers.
