Chapter 78: Come Talk
In the evening, Ah Jiu, Sunny and IU did not stay on Korea Island, but took a helicopter and flew to the Burj Al Arab Hotel not far away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info World Archipelago is actually an unfinished project, half of the time, because of the financial crisis, it was temporarily suspended, from 08 to now, since last year, it has been sold to private individuals, Lao Jiu bought several islands in China, plus South Korea and Japan, and the others basically have their own buyers, basically made into private attributes, and are not open to the public.
When Lao Jiu bought these islands, he didn't think about developing them, he had a close relationship with the Dubai royal family, and these small artificial islands actually didn't cost a lot of money, basically giving the cost of cement. He just didn't want Little Japan to buy it. After Lee Yoon-jin came to Dubai, the construction of these buildings has only begun, and the construction process on the sea surface is complicated, the progress of the project is slow, and so far, in fact, a main house, a waiter's room, and the guest rooms are still under construction for the time being. If you squeeze it, you can actually stay, but it's really not necessary. The Burj Al Arab is a landmark in Dubai, and Sunny and IU are both first-time visitors, so I still have the mood to see it. Moreover, Lao Jiu owns one of the floors of the Burj Al Arab, and his own house is naturally lived casually.
This time Ah Jiu came, Lao Jiu also had the heart to gradually hand over his career to Ah Jiu, this process may take a few years, but now it is time to let Ah Jiu know how much money he has earned in his life. So when Ah Jiu brought Sunny and IU to the Burj Al Arab, Lao Jiu also sent an accountant to follow, mainly to explain to him what the property belonging to Lao Jiu is, how much, and how much is valued in the city of Dubai. This accountant can be regarded as Lao Jiu's real confidant, he manages all Lao Jiu's investments in Dubai, and he also knows Lao Jiu's affairs very well. Such a person, in an organization, is basically a dead soldier, and it is impossible to leak the news, and even if he is controlled, it is okay, for an organization like Heijin, everyone is single-line, but they are mutually insured, and the number of secrets that a person can leak is within a controllable range, and there is no need to worry.
Ah Jiu was not interested in how much property his father had in Dubai, but he was more interested in his father's system. The Black Gold Organization has been standing in the Middle East for 20 years, and the system designed by his father to control members is as loyal as a terrorist organization, and the efficiency is even better. But this kind of thing, he can't learn it for a while, only if he follows Lao Jiu for a while, under words and deeds, it is possible to understand it, but now there is no such time, but there is no hurry, the family always has a time to get together.
This accountant, to Ah Jiu's surprise, turned out to be a Japanese. Ah Jiu couldn't get used to his mustard-smelling English, so he drove him away before he started a tirade, but the information he brought was left, similar to a brief booklet, which recorded Lao Jiu's property in Dubai, with pictures and texts, if you didn't pay attention, I thought it was a tourist booklet.
Lao Jiu's property in the Burj Al Arab Hotel is the entire third floor from above. The first layer belongs to the king of Dubai, the second layer belongs to the prince of Dubai, and he is the third layer, which in itself reflects his power in Dubai. The entire third floor is divided into office area and residential area, and the residential area is divided into master area and attendant area, and the office area is similar to the nature of a financial trading company, which is simply the place responsible for black gold money laundering.
Usually, the Japanese accountant works here, and his residence is in the attendant area, the master's area, and Lao Jiu doesn't live once a year, 365 days a year, and 360 days are vacant. Suddenly, one day Lao Jiu felt that it was a bit of a waste, so this became a place for him to put his collections, the security of the Burj Al Arab Hotel is much better than that of ordinary banks, and the host area is wrapped in the waiter area and the office area, full of black and gold elites, if this place can still be lost, then there is no place for safety in Dubai.
Lao Jiu is relatively weak and lacks enthusiasm for famous paintings and antiques. Under normal circumstances, he would not buy this kind of collection unless it was given by someone else. The collections he likes are roughly divided into two categories, the first is simple and crude, similar to the meteorite ore given to IU, which is inherently valuable, and he will collect. There is also something that has a special meaning, which is fun, but not necessarily valuable. For example, the dagger he once used, the missing dragon head, the large grandfather clock of the royal family of a certain country, etc., he will get it back when he encounters it, and he will not design a place for each thing like other rich people, he will put it at will, and throw it wherever he can, so that people who come here will have surprises at any time, because maybe pick up a random thing, the value is more than one million.
There is also a catalogue of these things, which is still made by this Japanese accountant. It has the origin of each item, its estimated value, and so on. Ah Jiu was not interested in this, and handed it to IU and Sunny casually, and they were very interested, because Lao Jiu said that the things here, no matter what they are, Sunny can pick three, and IU can pick two, although he didn't say it explicitly, but it was also a small reward for this matter. IU was also a little depressed because of this, when Lao Jiu said this, no one knew what was here, IU's depression was purely because of Sunny's 'win' and depressed.
Now that I have found so many good things, my heart hurts a little more, but when I think about it again, I am not so distressed. For this family, money may not mean much, but it is the gift itself. After figuring out this truth, IU put her mind on these things, and wanted to pick a fun one to bring back, she could pick two, so she wanted two of them, so she could give one to Liu Renna when she went back.
Sunny is also very interested in these things, she can pick three, and her thoughts are similar to IU's, she doesn't want to be alone, but thinks of three gifts, go back and give one to Su-young and Taeyeon, she thinks that in the face of IU's hostility, the alliance still needs to exist......
The two of them ran around the room, and Ah Jiu sat on top of a piece of furniture that was obviously in the shape of an ancient Hu bed, sitting cross-legged, reading the information left by the Japanese accountant. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that he had heard of black gold for a long time, but because most of his mission was in Asia, and he had not studied it carefully in the Middle East, he had only heard of black gold in name and had not seen it. Now that he saw the thing given by Lao Jiu, he knew how much money Lao Jiu had saved in the past 20 years. If this information is true, then basically all the landmark buildings in Dubai, like the Burj Al Arab, have the 'first floor' of Lao Jiu. Ah Jiu is a little strange, even if it is an investment, it is not possible to invest in every place, I can't figure it out, he made a video call to Lao Jiu.
The picture is connected, Lao Jiu is also ready to rest, if it wasn't for his son calling, it would be impossible for him to pick it up if he changed someone else. Hearing Ah Jiu's question, Lao Jiu said: "This is not what I want to do, how can I say it...... It's a compromise. Back then, the Dubai royal family wanted to develop Dubai, and there were funds everywhere, and my money was not visible, and I couldn't spend it elsewhere, so it was a hit, what he built, I invested a little, and then there was a layer of me, and so on until now, you don't care about this, it's useless, there is an agreement, and it can only be sold to the royal family, and there is no money. ā
Lao Jiu made it very clear that this part of the assets is basically frozen. The sale can only be sold to the Dubai royal family, but the Dubai royal family, with the current land price in Dubai, it can't come up with that much money. According to a rough estimate, it is more than $20 billion. Besides, the whole of Dubai belongs to the Dubai royal family, and no matter how powerful black gold is, it can't get people in Dubai. Therefore, these coins are not money, but can only be regarded as tokens that symbolize the intimate relationship between black gold and the royal family of Dubai.
It's not completely without benefits, the upside is that you don't need to spend money on almost anywhere you travel to Dubai. In addition, these places are rented out, and there are hundreds of millions of dollars a year, which is more than enough to be a charter company.
This world has its own rules, people like Lao Jiu control the underground world profiteering organization like Black Gold, if there is no restriction given by the above-ground world, the world's richest man will definitely not be able to take the turn of Bill Gates. When wealth reaches a certain level, money itself can no longer represent any meaning. What matters is whether your wealth can be recognized. To put it simply, it is the value of this person, or this organization, how valuable his existence is. Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, proving that Microsoft and he are universally recognized and needed by the values of this world, on the other hand, the black gold organization, the world may only need a small number of people, so no matter how much wealth it has, it can only be recognized in this small range, just like Dubai, no matter how rich it is, it is only a city.
Lao Jiu had long realized this, so he was interested in meteorite diamonds, gold, these things. His wealth is not recognized, but these are 'real money', and when it is really necessary, the money in the account is all waste paper, but these things can be taken anywhere.
The father and son chatted a little about gossip, but somehow turned around, Lao Jiu brought the topic to the next generation. Lao Jiu glanced at the range of the video, where Sunny and IU did not appear, and whispered to Ah Jiu: "Son, my father is not picking a daughter-in-law, but from a genetic point of view, I think that in the future, my grandson's mother will have to be at least 1.68 meters or more, you see your mother is 1.64 meters, I am 1.8 meters, you are 1.8 meters, you are about the same height as me, that is to say, my grandson's mother must be 1.64 meters, my grandson can be 1.8 meters, you are now these two...... That's enough."
"Abba......" IU's voice suddenly sounded, and then the person also appeared in the video, Lao Jiu was suddenly very embarrassed, grinned, and hung up the phone. IU looked at Ah Jiu, pouted and asked, "Brother......"
"I can't help it, you really don't have one meter six four, you have ......" Ah Jiu looked at IU and said, "One meter six, right?"
"161.3!" IU emphasized solemnly, seriously: "And the doctor said, I can still grow one!"
"Alas......" Sunny sighed suddenly, "I can't grow long, it's long closed...... Alas, disliked......"
"What are you two doing, just say that, you have to be 1.8 meters...... Ah Jiu hugged the two of them into his arms and said: "Don't worry, as long as you can give birth, I promise that no matter how many meters you have, it will not be a big problem." ā
"Hmph," IU snorted and pushed Ah Jiuyi, "You and Sunny Ernie are going to have a baby, I'm still young, I'll talk about it in two years." ā
"No, I'm shorter, you two are still ......" Sunny also pushed, and the two of them 'let' up. Ah Jiu was pushed by the two of you, I pushed it, pushed out the anger, and said angrily: "Where are there so many things, one is also alive, and the two are also alive, let's come together!"
"Why, don't!"
The two of them fled, Ah Jiu followed, and the three of them made a fuss in the middle of the night.
ā¦ā¦
In the end, Xiuying didn't wait for the flight at nine o'clock and left in the early morning. I can't sleep anyway. Not being able to sleep also has the advantage of not being able to sleep, compared to Sunny leaving in a hurry, Xiuying can have time to think about some things, for example, what gifts can be brought when they meet for the first time.
Xiuying bought the most authentic kimchi gift box in South Korea, and then in order to show her sincerity, she went home to pick up the yellow croaker made by her mother herself, and then transferred to Beijing by plane, bought a roast duck gift box, pastries and pickles at the airport, and then took a flight to Dubai, although it was delayed for more than two hours, but the gifts were ready, and the heart was not empty, and I fell asleep on the plane, slept for ten hours, and just arrived in Dubai when I opened my eyes.
At this time, the time in Dubai is almost five o'clock in the morning, but there are many people at the airport. After so-young finished picking up her luggage and checked things, she suddenly noticed a problem. She seems to have lost herself......
She didn't come with Ah Jiu, and she didn't have Li Yunzhen's contact information like IU, at this moment at Dubai International Airport, all she saw were foreigners, and there were strange words everywhere, and English was indeed there, but her English level basically belonged to the kind of 'howareyou' level, and she really couldn't understand it.
Xiuying tried to find a way, but after thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help it, so she put the suitcase down, sat on top of the suitcase, and called Ah Jiu.
In order not to be blamed, Xiuying came to take the lead, licked her fingers and wiped them on her face, the phone was connected, and the tears arrived, and she cried out at once.
"Husband, dear, I was robbed at the airport, come and save me!"
