Four hundred and seventy-four, Prince Azoud

Tony said: "Don, I heard about this estate a few years ago, a mansion worth $300 million, which can be ranked among the best in the world, but I didn't expect to live in it today." ”
"When I build a Western-style castle and a Chinese-style manor on Taoyuan Island, you will know that a $300 million mansion is actually like that. Tang Ming smiled, "Okay, don't talk about this, by the way, Tony, do you know who the owner of this manor is?"
"The owner of this manor is more careful about secrecy, and most people really don't know about it, but I happen to know. Tony smiled and said a name to Tang Ming.
"It turned out to be him!" Tang Ming said thoughtfully, "However, I have nothing to do with him, why did he use his own manor to entertain us? ”
"I don't know. Tony shrugged, "Still, I think it might have something to do with Po Ding Cao." ”
"I think that's the only possibility. Tang Ming nodded, "Okay, let's talk about something else." ”
Tony was very interested in Taoyuan Island, asked some things about Taoyuan Island, and then said, "It's good to have a private island, and I want to buy a small island to play with." ”
Tang Ming came to his senses, and encouraged: "Tony, why don't you also buy an island in the Solomon Islands, there are a few good islands next to my Taoyuan Island, although the area is not as large as my Taoyuan Island, but there is no shortage of fresh water resources on it, there are sandy beaches and tropical rainforests, and there are no indigenous people to disturb it, so it is very suitable to buy it as a private island." ”
Tony smiled: "I'm really tempted when you say that, I'll go over and see it next time I go to Australia." ”
Tang Ming said: "Okay, I'll send someone to the island to help you inspect it when I go back, and then send you the information." ”
Tang Ming, like most Chinese, likes to get together, and he only has two good friends who can play together, one is Song Zihui and the other is Tony.
Song Zihui now has limited financial resources, and he can't afford to buy a private island in a few years, Tony has no problem at all, he can afford to buy it, and he can afford to build it, so he encouraged Tony to buy a private island near Taoyuan Island, so that they can become neighbors.
It should feel good to drive a yacht or helicopter to Tony's island.
……
The next day, Tang Ming, Cornelia, and Tony took a group of assistants and bodyguards to visit all the major attractions in Paris, and returned to Louis XIV Manor in the evening.
At this time, the place had been set up, and many tables had been set up in the courtyard, and a large group of servants were busy setting up the scene.
Orn himself went down and supervised the servants' work with Chad, the butler.
Puran and Jennings also rushed over from Australia, Tang Ming and Tony went over to talk to them, and the housekeeper Chad came over and said to Tang Ming: "Mr. Tang, Mr. Parker, my master has arrived and wants to meet you." ”
"Okay, you lead the way. Tang Ming nodded, "Puran, Jennings, you guys are busy, let's go meet the master here, let's meet later." ”
"Okay, I'll see you later. Puran nodded.
The housekeeper Chad led the way in front, Tang Ming and Tony followed, walked into the villa, came to the door of the innermost room upstairs, and knocked on the door a few times.
"Please come in. ”
A voice came from inside the room, and the housekeeper Chad pushed open the door and made a gesture of please, and Tang Ming and Tony entered.
"Mr. Don, Mr. Tony, it is a great honor to welcome you to my estate. ”
As soon as they entered the house, a man in his fifties and sixties, dressed in traditional Arabic costumes, stood up and stretched out his hand to Tang Ming and Tony.
"Hello, His Royal Highness Prince Asoud. ”
"Hello, Your Royal Highness, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Tang Ming and Tony each stretched out their hands and shook hands with him.
If Tony hadn't told Tang Ming in advance, he wouldn't have known that this manor belonged to Prince Al-Walid of Saudi Arabia, he should have been called Prince Alwalid bin Talal bin Abdulaziz al-Asoud, of course, because the name is too long, most people call him Prince Alwalid or Prince Asoud.
He is the richest man in the Middle East, one of the top 50 people on the Forbes list of the world's richest people, with a net worth of $1 or 20 billion, known as the "Middle East Buffett", and at the same time, he is also the nephew of the current king of Saudi Arabia.
Tony's family can be called a wealthy family in the United States, but it is not far from the legendary Saudi royal family, which has assets of $1.4 trillion, and even Prince Assoud himself.
Prince Asoud was not surprised that Tang Ming called out his name, and he said enthusiastically: "Two, please take a seat, Mr. Tang, I have little contact with Chinese, I don't know much about Chinese customs and habits, please forgive me for any inconsiderate hospitality." ”
What he said was unusually polite, and I am afraid that he would not be so polite in the face of the heads of state.
Tang Ming and Tony glanced at each other, knowing that he would have something to ask for, but what was he asking for? Obviously, for Saudi Arabia, which has more than 2.2 million square kilometers of land but more than 95 percent of the land is desert, Po Ding grass is what they need most.
Now the neighbor of the beach, the United Arab Emirates, has been planted with Po Ding grass, most of the land has changed from a desert to an oasis, and many tourists from all over the world have come to the UAE to see how the desert has become an oasis, which has greatly promoted the tourism industry in the United Arab Emirates, and the Saudi royal family has begun to be anxious at this time.
However, Tang Ming had already said at the press conference some time ago that not only would he not provide the United States with Po Ding grass and nutrient solution for ten years, but at the same time, he would lower the priority supply level of the United States' ally countries and put them on the supply list later, and the beach is an important ally of the United States, so it is naturally included.
This is very fatal for the beach, other allies of the United States can get Po Ding grass and nutrient solution a few years later, but Saudi Arabia can't, not only because of the large desert area in Saudi Arabia, but also because of the national development of Saudi Arabia, which is unacceptable to the Saudi royal family, so Prince Asoud will be sent to see Tang Ming.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince is gracious. Tang Ming nodded and sat down with Tony.
The housekeeper Chad poured them a glass of red wine, and Tang Ming recognized it as a genuine red wine at a glance at the bottle.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Don and Mr. Parker's winery would produce such a good red wine, I was hooked on it when I took the first sip, and when I go back, I will bring more and share it with my brothers, so that they can taste it too, and I think they will like it very much," said Prince Assoud. ”
Tang Ming said: "Since His Royal Highness the Prince likes it, then I will give it to His Royal Highness the Prince, just as I compensate for the disturbance in the past few days, I hope His Royal Highness the Prince will not dislike it." (To be continued.) )
