Seeing that the time was almost up, Ali and Li Sheng went to the airport together to pick up Fernando. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They didn't go back to the Palace Hotel, but went straight to the marina where the welcome banquet in the evening was to be held on the yacht, and now the time was almost up.

The exact buyer of the yacht Aare is said to be very secret, but the ship is anchored in Abu Dhabi and many people speculate that it belongs to a member of the country's royal family. Li Sheng now finally knows that the speculation is not groundless.

After getting on the boat, Ali and the two of them visited a handsome prince named Asim, and the young prince shook hands with Li Sheng and Fernando very reservedly and said a few words of welcome. Then I arranged to take them to rest.

There are more than fifty en-suite cabins on the yacht Aare, which is enough to arrange all the guests. Li Sheng and Fernando were both arranged in separate suites.

However, at this time, the welcome banquet will have to wait for a while, and Ali will also go back to pray first.

Fernando came looking for it. He was not surprised by the fact that he had come to this salon for the second time, and he told Li Sheng: "There were twenty-four princes and nine princesses who came to this salon last time, and they are all devout believers, and this time is the time to pray. ”

"There are a lot of people attending this salon?"

"Last time, more than 20 non-Middle Eastern people and their families participated. Fernando said with a smile. "However, it is said that there are not many families who usually bring them. After all, in this place, women will feel more depressed. ”

In his capacity as a forerunner, he spoke about the taboos that this salon needed to be aware of, most of which were about some customs of the Middle Eastern world. Li Ming also remembered them one by one, so as not to be rude.

They chatted for a while, and there was a knock on the door of the suite, and it turned out to be the waiter on the yacht who had come to remind them that the welcome party had begun. Invite them up to the deck.

Li Sheng and Fernando went up to the deck and found that there were already quite a few people on it. At least half were Arab men wearing turbans and robes, and a few women in Arab costumes. Everyone else looked like they were from Europe and the United States, both men and women.

He saw Ali, but when Ali saw him, he only introduced him to the Arab prince who should have a better relationship, and the others did not introduce him.

At the beginning of the banquet, some waiters came up carrying roasted whole sheep and some camel meat, and there were also many kinds of food that Li Sheng did not know the name of, as well as various fruits and drinks.

Although alcohol is prohibited in Arabia, in fact the prohibition of alcohol has been loosened in many countries, as some Arabs humor, [Allah] forbids drinking, but not XO and whiskey. Of course this is a semi-public occasion, and sweet wines are served on board, and highly alcoholic drinks are not. And these wines are mainly prepared for guests. Princes and princesses still drink coffee and mint tea. But occasionally there was a sweet wine, and no one said anything.

Although the deck is brightly lit, it is an open field, and the light is very different from the sunlight in the strong and in the daylight. After Prince Asim's opening speech at the banquet, Li Sheng and several princes entertained for a while, and found that they were talking about all kinds of money-burning investment projects, as well as all kinds of unimaginable luxury goods, and he didn't have much to say.

He saw that Fernando was socializing with the others, and so was Ali, so he walked to the side of the boat alone.

The sea breeze at night on the Arabian Gulf in spring is very refreshing. This is the time of year when the Middle East climate is the most touristy. However, the air here is not very good, this is on the edge of the desert, there must be a lot of dust in the air, and the starry sky is a little blurry.

He leaned against the side of the boat and watched as the people in the field formed a small group, all of them were so personable, maybe they were talking about the project that was worth investing in.

In fact, Fernando also told him just now that most of these invited guests were friends of these princes, and most of them were business tycoons of the younger generation. And mostly the best of the world's younger generation who have membership in the World Economic Forum. None of them were over forty years old. The future is very promising. Of course, they are all young people from wealthy families.

And tonight, they usually talk about some stormy things, and they don't talk about anything serious. But for Middle Easterners, it's immoral to talk about women, so they should be talking about how to spend money, how to spend a lot of money, how to spend a lot of money.

Li Sheng found a chair on the side of the ship and sat down. In addition, he also found that on this occasion men gathered in small groups, and women also gathered in small groups. Eleven of the women were supposed to be princesses or princes' spouses or the like, but more were the female companions brought by the guests.

It's just that he doesn't know that he is observing other people, and there are people who are observing him.

On such occasions, men should know him to some extent, but women do not.

This is the Middle East, and Ali didn't introduce him to everyone because it was a salon-style party, not a business banquet, and because there were women there. In this more conservative world, it is inconvenient for men and women to come into contact.

In fact, the royal state of the Middle East is not strictly a country, it is more like a family. In Abu Dhabi, for example, even a grain of sand in the kingdom belongs to the chief. There will be no more than 20% natives, and all wealth will go to the chief, who will then distribute the wealth to all nationals. The royal families of these countries are like some of the most wealthy families in the world. Not only do these wealthy families have a long history, but they also have amazing wealth, and their reserve is innate.

And these princesses who can be brought out to breathe a sigh of relief are also underage princesses. Because there are many taboos for adult women to contact men who are not family members.

It is rare for princesses to have such a completely free occasion, and they are close to each other, and they will get together whether they really get along or not. On such occasions, they can look at other members of the opposite sex with a little unscrupulousness. The main thing, of course, is to look at those princes. Although they were still minors, they knew more or less about the world, and knew that these guests were keen to communicate with the princes, mainly because of their wealth.

Princess Agaria was only thirteen years old, and although she was observing the princes in her conversations with the princesses, she was not yet of the age of marriage, and she was not worried about marrying with her family background. So she wasn't just looking at His Royal Highness.

She found a man who was sitting very lazily in the corner. Under the light, the man's appearance was not very clear. But his straight black hair and the contours of his face prove that he is an East Asian. Then he should also be a guest invited by some prince. But why didn't he go and talk to the princes like everyone else? Isn't it the purpose of these guests to get in touch with the princes?

Agaria observed for a while, and found that the man was actually very good-looking, and he seemed to be in his early twenties—what she didn't know was that Li Sheng had started looking younger and younger three years ago—and she wondered why the man had been invited. Could it be the heir to that family in East Asia?

She was curious about that man, not because the girl was pregnant. A Middle Eastern princess like her can only marry a prince of a Middle Eastern country or a young man from a large family. The young princess knew the fact that if she married a man from another country, she would lose her current status and source of wealth.

So there has never been a princess in the Middle East who has married a man outside the Middle East. The world doesn't allow it, and they don't want to.

She's no exception. So she was just curious about the man. Maybe it's because the man seems to be watching a play. Watch a play between a group of princes and a group of successful men. Why is he?

"Agarya?" another elderly Arab woman handed her a slice of roasted camel meat, but when she saw that she hadn't answered, she couldn't help but push her arm.

"Ah, thank you!"

"What are you looking at?" the woman asked Agaria.

Agaria pointed at Li Sheng and said, "I think he is very arrogant, and I am a little curious about who he is." Sister-in-law Zana, do you know who he is?"

Zana is one of the wives of Agarya's brother, Prince Asim. She is also from the Qatari royal family, so she is not so conservative, she glanced at Li Sheng and said: "It should be the owner of the Silent Farm in Brazil, Li Sheng." He is said to be the richest man in the world. ”

Agaria did not show surprise that the richest man in the world was not a title to surprise for them, members of the Middle Eastern royal family. Although none of the personal wealth of these members of the royal family can reach the level of the richest man in the world. But they are actually very rich, and they are increasing every year.

The main wealth of these royal families does not belong to individuals, but to the royal family as a whole, or even to the country as a whole. But this wealth was distributed among a few people. The wealth at the disposal of those few people far exceeds that of the so-called richest man in the world. So in the eyes of the royal family in the Middle East, the so-called richest man in the world is just a joke.

"Oh, it's him? I've heard of this person, too. I heard that he made money by selling grass. Agaria thought for a moment, and remembered that she had heard of this man's deeds, but she hadn't heard much.

Zana whispered and laughed: "It is said that he has a lot of industries, most of which are high-end agricultural products, this matsutake mushroom is produced on his farm, and most of the caviar we usually eat is also produced there." And although he sells grass, he makes no less money than selling crude oil. It is also said that the seeds of the wheat grown all over the world come from his farm. Even the United States had to open the beef market to him in order to buy seeds. Such a person does have something to be proud of. ”

"Hmph. What if there is money? He wants to make money, and we spend money. Agaria pouted.

Zana chuckled and didn't speak. Indeed, what royal investment authorities have been set up in these countries in the Middle East now, and this agency is responsible for making money, and the members of the royal family are only responsible for spending money. They are the ones who spend money, so they should be the ones who are being stammered.

Li Sheng didn't know that anyone was talking about himself like that. He sat in the corner, eating and watching, until Fernando came and sat down with a wine glass.

"What? You don't mean you know people, why do you sit alone?"

"They're not talking about football, it's about oil, cars, yachts and airplanes. I'm a farmer and I don't seem to have much in common with them. (To be continued.) )
