【Chapter 964】 The City of Luxury (Subscription Requested!)

Everyone in the world has their own judgment about Dubai, whether you are luxurious, wealthy or full of character, and perhaps you can only feel more when you visit it.

Sitting on the way to the Burj Al Arab Hotel in the convoy provided by Audi, Xiao Feng noticed that the buses on the road were all 51-seat Mercedes-Benz luxury buses, and most of the taxi logos were Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lamborghini, Ferrari, which was eye-opening.

In 2014, the GDP of 'Ginkgo Village' was 180 billion RMB, or about 28 billion US dollars, and the per capita GDP exceeded 100,000 US dollars. However, due to the weak foundation of Ginkgo Village and the mountainous areas of northwest Yunnan, whether it is infrastructure construction and related fields, there is still a long way to go with Dubai, which has a per capita GDP of 80,000 US dollars.

In the past, Xiao Feng thought that the development of 'Ginkgo Village' was very good, but the first impression of Dubai made him have a stronger fighting spirit, hoping to build 'Ginkgo New Area' into an internationally renowned tourist city like Dubai.

In 2014 alone, for example, Dubai received more than 13 million international tourists, which is more than the number of tourists received by the 'Ginkgo New Area' at a fraction of the time, which also dwarfs the 'Ginkgo New Area'.

As a scenic spot with a target of 10 million visitors, Dubai is a place where the 'Mirror Lake Scenic Area' needs to learn.

This time, Yang Yuanhang came to Dubai, in addition to cheering for the 'Black Miracle', he also needed to conduct a certain investigation of Dubai's tourism industry, so as to make corresponding improvements to the scenic spots under the 'Mirror Lake Company'.

Of course, the incomparably luxurious style of the local tyrant Dubai government, the 'Mirror Lake Company', cannot be learned in any case, and can only be said to tap the advantages in other aspects, combined with the local characteristics of Ginkgo Village.

It is not too difficult to receive tourists from zero to 1 million, but to reach 10 million is a huge challenge for the operators of scenic spots. Yang Yuanhang and Xiao Feng are both willing to accept this kind of challenge.

For them, money is no longer an important factor in measuring life, and being able to create a world-renowned tourist destination is one of their pursuits in life!

The distance from Dubai Airport to Burj Al Arab is not far, and twenty minutes later, Xiao Feng saw the Burj Al Arab, known as the 'symbol of Dubai', which is also the world's first seven-star hotel!

Before the inauguration of the Burj Khalifa. It has long been the most famous building in Dubai, and it has the highest profile in the vast majority of Dubai's tourist advertisements.

Burj Al Arab (Burj Al Arab) was originally conceived by UAE Defence Minister and Crown Prince Al Maktoum of Dubai, who dreamed of giving Dubai a Sydney Opera House, Eiffel Tower-style landmark.

After the whimsy of hundreds of designers from all over the world, the huge pockets of Dubai's people and five years of time, the result is a fantastic building that combines strong Islamic style and extravagant decoration with high-tech means and building materials, and the building itself has won numerous awards.

When the Burj Al Arab first opened, a British female journalist was one of the first guests. She felt the quality of service that she had never experienced before.

Upon her return, she praised the luxury and excellent service of the Burj Al Arab in the newspapers, and finally said: "I have no words to describe it, but to rate it with 7 stars to show that it is different." ”

Since then, this free advertisement has spread all over the world, and the Burj Al Arab has become the first and only seven-star hotel in the world!

Among the 202 rooms in the hotel. The lowest price is $900 per night, and the most luxurious Royal Suite is $18,000! For example, at this time when the Dubai Horse Racing World Cup is held, the price of doubling is still in short supply.

Because Xiao Feng was invited to participate in the Horse Racing World Cup, coupled with the special status of him and Xu Mengyao, Dubai prepared a royal suite on the top floor of the hotel for them, and the rest of the entourage also prepared a luxurious presidential suite.

Soon after the convoy arrived at nine o'clock, a waiter came and opened the door. Parked for Xiao Feng and others, and carried out luggage, and the service was very thoughtful.

Xiao Feng and the others paid attention to the furnishings in the hotel lobby, whether it was the brilliant crystal lamps or the splendid decorations, or the genuine paintings hanging on the walls, all of which made the taste of the entire hotel rise a lot.

Rao is a 'dream hotel' built to the standards of a five-star hotel. But compared with the Burj Al Arab, it is still far from it, and it cannot be achieved in terms of luxury or taste in decoration.

Xiao Feng and Yang Yuanhang glanced at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes, it is really unacceptable to sit in the well and watch the sky, if the scenic spot under the 'Jinghu Company' wants to maintain a faster and better development trend, it is necessary to go out and walk more!

Designed by British designer W.S. Atkins, the Burj Al Arab looks like a sail full of wind, with a total of 56 floors and a height of 321 meters, making it the world's tallest hotel, taller than the Eiffel Tower in France.

At the elevator door, Xiaobei's family said goodbye to Xiao Feng and others, he had already made an appointment for Prince William and Princess Kate to have dinner with Xiao Feng and his wife, and now naturally he didn't have to follow Xiao Feng all the time.

Xiaobei and even the English people also have a very clear understanding of the identity of their own boss, because of the continued economic recession in Europe and the United States, Huaxia, which has become the world's second largest economy, has more voice and greater influence in the world.

Before leaving, Xiaobei also learned from the cabinet, the royal family and other channels that the informal meeting between Prince William and Xiao Feng may represent some of the high-level wishes of the two countries, and Xiaobei, who is in it, naturally acts as a buffer and messenger.

As the business card of England, Becky was not only the ambassador of the 2012 London Olympic Games, but also became one of the images of England's diplomatic work.

…………

Walking into the royal suite, Rao is Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao can be regarded as people who have seen the world, and they are still shocked by everything in front of them, extremely luxurious!

On the ceiling of the huge living room hangs a crystal chandelier made of Swarovski crystals, which alone will not be worth less than $1 million, and many of the decorations and furnishings in the house are gilt or inlayed, which looks golden!

The Arab mania for gold is well reflected in this Royal Suite. And these furnishings have been carefully crafted by masters, and they don't feel vulgar at all.

Xiao Feng noticed that the sofas, coffee tables, etc. in the living room were all made of precious Tianzhu small leaf red sandalwood, full of strong Chinese Ming Dynasty furniture style, it seems that the main color of this royal suite comes from China.

The usable area of the Royal Suite is more than 700 square meters, and the space on the upper and lower floors is large enough, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao chose the master bedroom upstairs. Let Xiao Qiang and Wei Tingting pick the rest. Tomorrow morning, the eighth sister Jasmine's family, Xiao Tao, Xiao Dazhi and others will also arrive one after another, and the whole family living here is just lively enough.

As for Yang Yuanhang, Ma Wanli and other senior executives of the group and their entourage, they lived in the presidential suite, and in this regard, the organizing committee of the Dubai Horse Racing World Cup or the UAE royal family is not stingy at all.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the master bedroom and watching the beautiful scenery of the sea, Xiao Feng's mind flashed back to the scene of Federer and Agassi playing at the Burj Al Arab heliport, which is perhaps the most special scene in the history of world tennis.

Playing at 200 meters in the air is an adrenaline-pumping thing to think about!

…………

Prince William's banquet for Xiao Feng was not too high-profile, in a private room at a top restaurant on the sixth floor of the Burj Al Arab. Only Xiaobei and Xiao Qiang were the companions!

Arabic beef and lamb chops, with Arabic salads, are full of Middle Eastern flavors, and no alcohol is consumed in order to follow local customs.

For national affairs, neither Xiao Feng nor Prince William will be involved too much, and the two talk more about football, after all, this is the best common topic between the two.

Recent. Newcastle excelled in the final sprint to the league and Prince William congratulated Xiao Feng on this. It also quickly shortened the distance between each other.

"The team has performed well, and David has contributed a lot!" Xiao Feng raised his teacup to greet Prince William, and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that I am the shopkeeper and rarely ask about the daily affairs of the club, and the high-level work led by David is very good!"

Recently, Newcastle United managed to reach the semi-finals of the English League Cup. They have secured fourth place in the league and are expected to qualify for the Champions League next season.

For a team that has just undergone a change of ownership, a change of coach, and a purge of players last summer, being able to recover so quickly and have strong combat effectiveness is undoubtedly a light on Xiao Feng's face.

"I think the generosity of the boss is the most important factor!" Xiaobei's sycophants are shot without fireworks, which is quite beautiful.

With a good start, the communication between the men becomes smoother, and the atmosphere at the banquet becomes very good in football, horse racing, and even the NBA.

As for several ladies, they have already had a heated discussion around fashion, makeup and other elements, and Xu Mengyao's delicate skin is also the envy of Victoria and Princess Kate, asking about various maintenance secrets.

A dinner lasted for more than an hour, although there was no drinking, but it was also a joy for the guests and hosts!

Xiao Feng only revealed to Prince William that he would accompany President Hua to England for a visit in September as a representative of China's economic circles.

At the same time, Xiao Feng also said that the investment plans of 'Jinghu Group' and 'Qianxin Group' in England in 2015 will be further increased, and he is very optimistic about the prospects of England's economic recovery.

It can be said that tonight's informal meeting was quite successful, and both Xiao Feng and Prince William felt the goodwill released by each other's high-level countries, which will have a positive impact on the future cooperation between the two sides.

…………

Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, who are accustomed to flying all over the world, have long been familiar with dealing with jet lag, and they fell asleep at 11 o'clock local time after watching a video with the children in Los Angeles.

When I got up in the morning, the hotel delivered a variety of local specialties that had just been baked, so that Xiao Feng and others could feast!

Although he has the world's best top-quality ingredient supply group, Xiao Feng still likes to taste various local delicacies wherever he goes, so that he feels that his life is complete.

Freshly baked, the arabiscus is crispy and delicious, chewy with a hint of sweetness, and has a unique aroma of sesame seeds, and is delicious with a special sauce and vegetables.

Shavarma is a favorite among the Arab people and resembles a sandwich, with tender lamb and chicken fillings that taste even better with sauces.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Feng and his party left the hotel and boarded the Audi team to the racecourse to check out the venue of today's race and see the state of the 'Black Miracle'.

…………

Meydan became famous with the Dubai Horse Racing World Cup and has become one of the hallmarks of Dubai's luxury.

Spanning three years and $3 billion, the largest racecourse in the Middle East not only boasts a 1,750-meter super track capable of accommodating 60,000 spectators, but also has a five-star hotel, a business center and more, making it the most luxurious racecourse in the world!

Every year in March, the world's best horse racing will gather here to compete for high prize money and the title of 'World Champion', and the super-rich, political and business celebrities, and superstars from all over the world will also flock to create a feast of the desert.

In the 2000m dirt speed race that Black Miracle participated in this year, for example, the prize money for the winner reached 20 million pounds, or about $30 million!

Xiao Feng and the others saw the 'Black Miracle' and Chen Yang who were making adaptive adjustments at the training ground, and judging from their performance, the 17-hour long-distance flight did not affect them too much.

Seeing Xiao Feng appear on the sidelines, the 'Black Miracle' immediately became excited and ran wildly on the track, which made many media reporters on the scene focus their cameras on it.

Anyone else has heard of this star horse that is invincible in the American racing world, whether it is a media reporter or other competitors, after all, the myth of an unbeaten season is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now that I saw the lightning speed of the 'Black Miracle' at the scene, all of us had the idea of 'living up to the name'.

After watching the training of the 'Black Miracle', Xiao Feng and the others went around in Dubai separately, the Dubai World Cup will not open until the day after tomorrow, and the 'Black Miracle' game will be the finale on March 28.

Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao can take the opportunity to enjoy the sweet romance of the two-person world, after all, they usually have 4 children at home, and there is no time and space for romance.

When I first arrived in Dubai, luxury became Xiao Feng's deepest impression! )
