Chapter 680: The King of Showing Off His Wealth

Meeting Prince Waleed was much quicker than expected. When the 'Huaxia' docked in Le Havre, there was a bald old man in a suit and a young and beautiful woman standing on the pier. This is the 'Middle Eastern stock god' Prince Waleed and his third wife, Princess Emira.

Aren't they divorced? Why are they still together?

Tsk, I'm afraid it's one of Waleed's retreats for himself.

Behind them were a large number of guards, and even the Gallic police were in battle to maintain order on the scene.

Xiao Peng knew that these policemen were not looking for him, but to protect Walid.

After all, something like that had just happened in Teshar, Waleed had just been released from house arrest, and who could guarantee that no one would do anything to him? His safety was the first priority.

Both Pagio and Richard knew him, and after greeting each other, Pagio and Richard introduced Xiao Peng and Waleed to each other.

Waleed was silent about the 'Huaxia', but praised Xiao Peng's riding skills, saying that he was grateful to Xiao Peng for fighting for the honor of the Tesha royal family at the Dubai Horse Racing World Cup. Unusually polite to Xiao Peng.

I guess I'm scared, right?

Several people first flew to the airport, then took a plane to Paris, and after arriving in Paris, they stayed directly at the Virgin Hotel. All these itineraries have been arranged by Richard in advance, and even hired a driver and guide for Di Wei and Li Ru, who are responsible for taking them to Paris for a tour, and even if the sailors who stay in Le Havre want to go out to play, they will have a special driver and guide to pick them up, which is too considerate, right?

Xiao Peng was lying in the bathtub of the hotel, now confused, this trip to Gaul, he knew that all the trips would definitely be arranged by Richard, but what did Waleed mean? That plane was obviously one of his private jets. What does he mean by that?

It is said that 'if you give something, you will get something', but what is the purpose of Waleed's involvement? Does he want to take the 'Huaxia' back?

But it's not right, the two of them have talked a lot along the way, they don't say a word about 'Huaxia', they are talking about horses, talking about ALS. What the hell is he trying to do?

If you don't understand, you don't want to. But seeing Prince Waleed was an eye-opener.

But speaking of which, this time the Tesha anti-corruption storm obviously tossed him a lot, he used to look like a black hair everywhere he went, but now it's good, the newly grown hair and beard are gray-white, and he looks haggard, only in his early sixties, but he looks older than Padgio and Richard.

But he must not be underestimated because he is like this. Of all the princes of Tesha, the most legendary is undoubtedly Prince Waleed.

Many people imagine that Prince Tesha is the kind who can receive money from the day he was born and has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. This is the treatment of other royal families, like Yang Meng, fake royal family members, who receive money every day.

But there is a problem that everyone ignores, that is, everyone really does not receive the same amount of money. In Tesha, there are as many princes as dogs, thousands of princes, plus thousands of princesses, so to speak, there is one prince for every thousand Tesha, and the proportion of princesses is even smaller. Maybe in Tesha, a man who keeps a camel on the side of the road is a prince.

And among so many princes and princesses, the biggest legend and the biggest outlier must be Prince Waleedใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚

Waleed's nickname is known as 'Warren Buffett of the Middle East', and Buffett himself said, "If I go to Tesha, I will be called 'Waleed the Stars and Stripes'." "These two people are kind of sympathetic to each other. Waleed is the existence of the richest man in Tesha for decades,

Like the 'Azam', he has more than one, there is a slightly smaller luxury yacht called the 'kindom 5kr', and he personally prefers to be on that ship, although the ship is the size of the Huaxia, but it was bought from Trump. Now that everyone else has become president, wouldn't it be better to use his boat to get some joy? It doesn't matter if the ship is smaller, it costs a lot of money to refit it! The cost of refitting alone is more than five times the price of the ship! If you don't ask for anything else, you want luxury!

What is the largest Airbus A380, Falcon, Boeing 747, and other planes, which are changed every day! Xiao Peng flew from Le Havre to Paris this time, and it was his A380 that he sits, and this plane has been built into a seven-star luxury 'sky palace' with 500 million yuan, which has a long dining table that can accommodate more than 10 people to eat, a kitchen, a conference room, a recreation room, and even a concert hall! There is also a Turkish bath and a parking space for parking Rolls-Royce! Almost all the private jet photos that can be found on the Internet about how trenched the Tesha royal family really are, are basically this A380!

And this guy is very spoiled children, and the way of petting is also more domineering, the son likes cars, and on his sixteenth birthday, he directly gave him a customized version of a golden Lamborghini! And her daughter liked the Donna Karan brand of clothing, so she directly bought 20 million US dollars in stock and gave it to her daughter, who was only 15 years old at the time.

Uh, that is to say, many Chinese girls now love DKNY brand clothing, and if you buy this dress, you have to give money to Waleed's daughter------ DKNY is one of Donna Karan's sub-brandsใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚

What do people say about showing off their wealth now? Compared to Prince Waleed, it's all pediatrics! People buy a SL600 and think it's too ordinary, so they simply set 300,000 diamonds on it, and the whole car is shining day and night!

Of course, people can afford to squander, and his wealth has always been a secret. Some say he has more than 10 billion, some say he has more than 30 billion, after all, to date, he is a shareholder of Citibank, Hua Xia Bank, JD.com, Apple, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, McDonald's, Disney, Four Seasons Hotel, Titter and countless other large companiesใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚

In 2011, Waleed's wealth was estimated at $19.4 billion on the Forbes rich list, ranking 26th in the world. That's a staggering number, isn't it? And then Waleed sued Forbes magazine on the grounds that you dare to underestimate the financial resources of this trench?

Chinese people pay attention to 'talent is not exposed', 'make a fortune in a muffled voice', Prince Waleed is good, I can't wait for the whole world to know that he is not bad for money, this lawsuit has been fought for four years, and in the end I don't know what Forbes used to coax this wayward prince.

However, although Prince Waleed is a 'prince', he is really not the kind of father who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, to be precise, his childhood was more tragic, and he ran into a pit.

His father was the 21st son of the founding king of Tesha. It is also the kind that has the right of inheritance. As a result, he married the daughter of the leader of the Lebanese Duli movement, that is, Walid's mother, and these two good princes and princesses did not do it, and they started to fight the landlord Lao Cai in Tesha, and finally he was exiled directly to Egypt, when he was only five years old. And all the succession to the throne in his father's line has been canceled, that is, no matter how rich Waleed is, he can't even think about the throne of Tesha.

Walid's parents, who were exiled to Egypt, divorced, and his mother took Walid to live in Lebanon, and he could think of how the daughter of the leader of the Lebanese Duli movement could educate her son?

When he was thirteen years old, his father couldn't stand this son anymore, so he took him back to him, threw him into the military academy, trained Waleed with strict military discipline, and finally let him study in the Stars and Stripes country alone.

When he returned to Tesha after graduating at the age of 24, his father gave him $15,000 to start a business as the original capital.

Fifteen thousand dollars may not be enough to tip the waiter today, but this guy has relied on this fifteen thousand dollars, relying on his business vision, to constantly invest in oil, real estate, and stocks, so that his wealth has snowballed! He can always buy large sums of stocks during the downturn of those high-quality companies, and finally make a lot of money!

However, he can only be regarded as a little rich and safe in the first ten years, and in Tesha, who is full of rich people, he can only be regarded as a small fight. It wasn't until 90 that the Iqra invasion of Kuwait caused tensions in the Middle East, and the Tesha people sold their land one after another, fearing that the war would affect their country, and the price of land in Riyadh, the capital of Tesha, fell by more than two-thirds!

And at a time when others were selling off their land, Walid bucked the trend and bought a lot of land, becoming the largest individual landowner in Riyadh, and after the war Walid made a lot of money, and then he believed that banks were the eyes of all economic activity and began to enter the financial industry. He became the largest shareholder of Tesha Union Commercial Bank, and later took a stake in Citibank, and began to build his business empire step by step!

As a result, it only took 20 years for this prince, who was ostracized by the royal family and had impure blood, to become the richest man in the entire huge land of the Middle East! Maybe it was because his life was too depressing when he was a child, so now Walid is really showing off his wealth in various ways! There are many people who are richer than him, but there are really no more people who can show off their wealth than him!

And his wealth is like this, growing step by step, probably because he has no inheritance, the king of Tesha has been good to him all these years, and has supported his career very much, so that his money has increased exponentially, and for him, money is really a number.

He dominates the stock market, relying on a method------ 'fattening and killing', the smallest investment to get the maximum return, this is the unified way for everyone to pursue wealth, he only buys stocks in crisis. But what he didn't expect was that this 'fattening and killing' would also be used on his head.

Last year, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman launched the largest 'anti-corruption campaign' in Tesha. More than 200 people, including the prince, current and former ministers, and many wealthy businessmen, were 'invited' into the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Riyadh, including Prince Waleed, on charges of bribery, money laundering, extortion, and other crimes.

The end result is that most of the 'suspects' have reached a settlement with the Tesha authorities, and the Tesha government has squeezed out more than 100 billion 'criminal funds' from these 'suspects' in one go. Well, anyway, it's spending money to buy freedom, and Prince Waleed is not immune.

Although he denied the accusations, he said that he went to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel to 'prove his innocence', 'to have some discussions with Zhengfu', and finally 'the misunderstanding was cleared'.

Whether this thing is true or not, that is, the benevolent and the wise will see the wise, Richard said behind his back, this time at least six billion assets have disappeared!

But...... Isn't it just six billion?
