Chapter 635: Sheikh Mohammed's Palace
Chapter 635: Sheikh Muhammad's Palace
……
But after being surprised, he took it for granted. The experience of human civilization for thousands of years has taught us that a strong culture is always more recognized. With the rise of China, the traditional Chinese culture will inevitably subvert the pattern of Western civilization dominating the world.
"It's amazing. After a pause, "It seems that I should really come to Dubai to walk around a lot, otherwise my knowledge of the world is about to be out of touch!"
Wang Zheng's flattering words made Hamdan laugh.
"You're welcome to come often. We Dubaiites are the most hospitable!" After a pause, Hamdan stood up, "Let's go, King." The tea was also drunk. Now it's time for you to experience our Dubai passion!"
Wang Zheng smiled and nodded. Tell Dian Wei to pack up his things, check out by the way, and follow Hamdan upstairs. That's right, just go upstairs. Because taking a helicopter is far more convenient and faster than driving.
After getting on the 'EC135' helicopter prepared by Hamdan, Wang Zheng originally thought that it would fly towards the Palm Island or nearby villas, but he never thought that it would fly directly out of downtown Dubai and towards the depths of the desert.
After a short time, a distinct green color appeared in the yellow sand. When the helicopter flew towards it quickly, as the distance narrowed, Wang Zheng also discovered this oasis in the center of the desert.
From the air, the size of the entire oasis is about two or three hundred acres, which is not large. Drought-resistant plants such as dates and cacti are planted on the periphery. The farther you go to the center, the more abundant the vegetation becomes. There are tall trees such as palms, eucalyptus, and coptis trees, as well as subtropical shrubs such as hibiscus, hibiscus, and goldenrod, and of course, beautiful flowers and plants. Surrounded by lush vegetation, there is an Arabesque building that covers an area of nearly ten acres and is built entirely of stone. The overall style is somewhat similar to the 'Alhambra' in Spain! it is majestic and magnificent, but also has the ultimate beauty. and Wang Zheng's Taoyuan Villa, are two completely different experiences.
The helicopter stopped on the top floor of a towering building.
When Hamdan led Wang Zheng down from the helicopter, a middle-aged man in a robe respectfully greeted him.
"Young Master!"
"Arhan, let me introduce you! This is Mr. Wang Zheng from China, my best friend. ”
As the housekeeper, Al Khan quickly looked at Wang Zheng and said with a respectful smile: "Mr. Wang, hello!"
"Hello!"
"Al Khan, my friends will be staying here these days, you must entertain me well, and you must not lose the etiquette of our Dubaiese!"
"Yes, please rest assured, young master. ”
"By the way, is lunch ready?"
"It's already ready for the young master and Mr. Wang in the Rose Hall in front!"
Hamdan nodded in satisfaction, "King, let's go." This time I invite you to taste our Dubai cuisine!"
"Then I'm looking forward to it!" Wang Zheng said with a smile.
"Please!"
"Please!"
The two of them went downstairs together, and when they came out of the stairs, a three-meter-wide passage appeared in front of them, with colorful rocks and tiles in the middle to spell out a beautiful Mu ~ Sling pattern, and at a glance, it seemed to be a carpet extending along the corridor. The workmanship and materials are extremely exquisite.
In addition, there are some beautiful patterns carved in relief on the wall on the left. On the right, there is a row of 30 cm diameter stone pillars supported by arched windows, and on the outside is a rectangular pool about half an acre in size. The clear water, with a little wave in the breeze, brings a refreshing coolness to the hot summer day.
Walking along the half-hollowed corridor and shuttling through the sprawling stone forts, Wang Zheng experienced a rugged beauty that was different from traditional Chinese architecture.
"How's it going, Wang, I'm no worse than your Taoyuan Villa here, am I?"
When Wang Zheng looked around, Hamdan couldn't help but ask a little meaningfully.
"It's really good!" Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, "The desert, the oasis, the ancient castle, when the three factors are combined, they don't need too much decoration at all to form a beautiful oil painting!"
"Thank you for the compliment. However, in order to make this oil painting, it took a lot of energy and money to make it!"
"Oh?"
Glancing at Wang Zheng, who showed a look of surprise, "There was no oasis in this desert, in order to create it, we built a desalination plant by the sea, and then used pipelines to bring the desalinated seawater here, it took two years to build this oasis, and then it took another three years to build a stone fort." In total, it took five years and nearly $150 million to invest in the current 'Sheikh Mohammed Palace'!"
While looking around, Wang Zheng nodded clearly. I silently recited in my heart, 'Sure enough, the local tyrants'! I am afraid that the only people who can spend so much money and energy on building a luxurious palace are these local tyrant royal families in the Middle East. Of course, his Taoyuan Villa is also very expensive, but if there is no task pressure imposed by the Shennong system, Wang Zheng is too lazy to waste so much effort.
"Except for the people of our family, it will only be opened when entertaining some distinguished guests!"
"It seems that I am really honored!" Wang Zheng said.
Hamdan nodded, "It's also an honor to entertain you here. ”
Although there is an element of compliment in this sentence, it is also more about reality. With the rapid development of Wang Zheng's major enterprises, his status is getting higher and higher.
"You're welcome!"
While the two were talking, they also came to a gorgeous room full of halal style. Not to mention the surrounding decorations, the sumptuous food on the table in the middle instantly attracted Wang Zheng, who had not yet eaten lunch.
Noticing his eyes, Hamdan smiled and said, "This is what I specially ordered to be made below to entertain you." Oh, and by the way, the fruit and the beef and mutton are all special offerings from your 'Taoyuan Ji'. …… Recently, the food of your 'Taoyuan Ji' has become the standard for entertaining VIPs in the upper class of the Middle East, and it has become famous. ”
"Thank you for your promotion!"
Hamdan smiled, "If your own quality is not good, it will be useless for me to help promote it... Please!"
Wang Zheng nodded and sat down on the chair opposite Hamdan.
"Which one do you want to drink from the Jade Dragon Snow, Zixia, Drunkenness and Monkey Drunk from Taoyuan Villa, or Lafite in '86, Romanée-Conti in '90, or Mouton in '45?"
Wang Zheng was slightly stunned, and looked at Hamdan who was smiling opposite, "You really bothered to entertain me." You have all the wines I produce here, and the rest are not cheap. ”
Although Wang Zheng did not personally attend the wine tastings held in France and Hong Kong, he knew the world price of the gold medal and fame in the world. As for the 86-year-old Lafite, the 90-year-old Romanée-Conti, and the 45-year-old Mouton, none of them was less than $30,000. It can be called a luxury in wine.
"Hehe, of course you have to take good things as a guest of honor. However, if it weren't for the fact that the wine and food produced by your lodge are truly first-class and rare in the world, even if you were a guest of honor, it would not be found in the cellars and cold storage of the 'Sheikh Mohammed' Palace. ”
Words that are both compliments and facts are just right to come out of Hamdan's mouth. It won't make people feel too flattering, and it won't make people feel uncomfortable, and it just brings the relationship closer to each other. It also reflects the good cultivation of the other party.
Wang Zheng smiled, "I drank a lot of self-brewed wine in my villa in the past. Since we're here with you, let's try something fresh!"
"Okay... How about a bottle of 'Romanée Conti'?"
"Good!"
Wang Zheng nodded.
Soon, a waiter next to him picked up the 'Romanée Conti' prepared in advance from the wine rack and poured it into a slender peeled bottle with a thin neck and bulging belly.
As the deep red wine is decanted, a delicate fruity aroma wafts through the restaurant.
Château Romanée Conti is one of the oldest vineyards in France. It dates back to the abbey of Saint-Vivan de Vigi 11 centuries ago. Although Château Romanée-Conti has experienced two catastrophes over the course of more than a thousand years, it is still one of the finest wineries in France and is widely regarded as the world's finest red winery. Located in the heart of the Burgan region, this super wine estate is enough to elevate the Burgan estate to a position on a par with Bordeaux on its own.
The yield of Château Romanée Conti is very low, with an average of about 10,000 grapes planted per hectare, and the annual output is controlled at 2,500 liters, almost every 3 grapes can produce a bottle of wine, and the average annual production is only about 6,000 bottles, which is less than 1/50 of the production of Château Lafite.
The extreme quality, the rich history and the scarcity of production have given Romanée Conti the highest place in the wine world, but also its high price. Romanée Conti is a rare place to find on the market, and if there is, it can range from thousands of euros to tens of thousands of euros. And the 90-year-old Kande wine is nearly $20,000 per bottle.
"Wang, you must stay longer in Dubai this time! We have a lot of fun and delicious food here. The important thing is that there is no shortage of beautiful women on Dubai's beaches!" Taking advantage of the time to sober up, Hamdan winked at Wang Zheng after jokingly.
"It just so happens that I have been longing for Dubai for a long time, so of course I will take a good look at it this time. I'm not familiar with this place, though. You, the 'landlord', have to accompany the guests!"
"Hehe, of course, I'm your best tour guide in Dubai!" Hamdan patted his chest.
