The topic of the two unconsciously came to tourism. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you plan to make Cowell a tourist city?"

Ali shook his head and said, "That's not for me to decide. More than 10 years ago, our country made an attempt at reform, but there was too much resistance. Had to be interrupted. "The oil will be extracted one day, and the price of oil seems to be in the hands of their oil-producing countries, but in fact this control is not secure.

What's the most chaotic place right now? The answer is the Arab world. North Africa, the Plains of the Two Rivers, and the Mediterranean coast are full of war. In addition, Iran, the most populous country in the Middle East, has been isolated from the Arab world because they are Persians. An oil-producing country in the Middle East has been eliminated, as has Venezuela, which claims to be the world's largest crude oil producer in South America. The Middle East is now struggling to control oil prices on its own.

So it's a foolish idea to think about living on oil all the time.

Abu Dhabi, the two coastal states of the United Arab Emirates, is building a tourist city with culture as the promotion point, while Dubai, a luxury city that will surprise ordinary people, will attract ordinary tourists. These two cities are arguably the most successful in the transformation of the Middle East's oil-producing countries.

Ali is a man of insight, but he also makes his fortune on oil and is one of those who have a vested interest in the country. There has been a vacillation between reform and conservatism, or there has been no indication of attitude. But he also felt the need to find new sources of income. And Li Sheng's Silent Farm is one of his goals.

However, this time he said that tourism, he really didn't want to cooperate with Li Sheng to build any tourist cities in their country.

"Kuwait is not even as big as your farm," he said. And there are no special attractions, even if we want to engage in tourism, we are already far behind the two cities of the United Arab Emirates, and we have to catch up with a long way to compete. ”

However, Kuwait's population is also small, and there is not enough labor force to develop its industry.

"I'm telling you this because members of the royal family of several of our countries in the Middle East have formed a club. A party is held in a city on a regular basis. I don't know if you're interested. ”

"Is it appropriate for me to go?" Li Sheng still didn't know how to refuse directly.

"Usually we bring some good friends along. That way, you can get to know more people. Ali thought he was worried about something. "In fact, our party is composed of a few young members of the royal family who are relatively open. So in terms of form, although it is also according to Arabic customs, the princesses also participate, so you don't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable as a non-Arab participant. ”

Li Sheng thought for a while and asked, "Probably there will be some people who will participate." I mean, except for you princes and princesses. ”

"For example, their spouses, and their good friends from other countries. Fernando participates every year. Last year, there will also be two Chinese guests who will attend. ”

Li Sheng felt that if that was the case, he could participate in it when he had time, and at least he could get to know more people on that occasion. He nodded and said, "Hearing you say that, I'm interested in a gathering like yours." Probably when. ”

"At the beginning of March, the weather in the Middle East was relatively good. We'll do desert racing, we'll have horse races, we'll have camel races. Of course, there are other activities. ”

Li Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "But I don't understand this." ”

Alihaha smiled and said, "Actually, I'm very strange, the Silent Farm is so big, you can get a racetrack out of it." You must know that horse racing is a sport that the upper class is quite enthusiastic about. ”

Li Sheng spread his hands and said, "It's not that Silent Farm doesn't have horse racing, it's just that I don't ride much. "He's not lying. He got some horses in the space and kept them in the deer farm. The deer ate on the grass he had replanted and survived. Those horses are certainly no exception.

"You also have racehorses, but I don't think you have a professional trainer here. ”

Li Sheng also knows that horse racing must be scientifically trained to achieve good results. But he picked out more than a hundred horses, some of which were stallions, and many more were mares. But they are the fastest horses in the space and the farthest they can go. As for whether it can be compared to those racehorses, he is not very clear. But I'm afraid there is no horse farm in the world that is bigger than his own. Three hundred square kilometers is enough for horses to run freely.

Ali looked at Li Sheng as if he was in thought, he waited for a while and said, "Can you let me see your racehorses?" If you can, maybe we can send them to the UAE first. By the way, this year's gathering was held in Abu Dhabi. ”

Of course, Li Sheng would not refuse such a request: "Then let's go and have a look." But I don't know where they're hiding. ”

There are nearly two hundred horses, but a few hundred square kilometers of land is a bit large for this horse.

Li Sheng first found two saddles from the storage room, and then set off.

This time they were flying a helicopter because the area was too big and it wasn't easy to find the horses.

The helicopter soon flew over a meadow fenced off by a wooden fence, a meadow that was completely covered by a hilly area.

Li Sheng said loudly to Ali: "This is actually a deer farm, and pasture grass is planted in it. The horses were also kept inside. In fact, he let the deer eat pasture instead, which was also a helpless move. "There are only about 1,000 deer on the deer farm. It may also be a small project to develop in the future. ”

Deer are just something that exists in zoos for Middle Easterners. Ali didn't really care: "Your ranch is so big, why don't you put the horses there." ”

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Then it has to be fenced in, otherwise the manure they pull out in the pasture will affect the quality of the forage sold outside." ”

He had seen a documentary about how horse manure has a fungus, and a pile of horse manure can affect an area of more than ten square meters. In this range, even the horses will no longer eat the grass inside.

When Ali heard him say this, he also felt that it was necessary to keep the horses in captivity. His question seemed to be a bit of a revelation, and he smiled and said, "When I didn't say it." ”

At first, the two of them couldn't see any animals. Li Sheng explained: "The temperature is relatively low now, maybe they are in another place. ”

Ali suggested, "Perhaps, we should fly higher." ”

Li Sheng is as good as a stream. When the helicopter rose to a height of about a thousand meters, it saw a group of animals. But it was a herd of deer. Li Sheng's eyesight is relatively good, and he can vaguely see that there are many deer in the deer herd. The deer herd is really starting to breed. Deer antler velvet has a market in China, Europe and the United States. If this deer farm develops, it can indeed be considered a good project.

But that wasn't the goal of their trip. They continued to circle and search for the horses. In fact, after those horses were released, Li Sheng didn't care much.

Soon the wild horse herd also appeared in front of them.

Li Sheng landed the plane far away on a flat ground under a hillside.

But when they carried the saddle up the hill, they found that the horses had already run away. Ali was a little disappointed: "I should have thought that horses have very keen hearing, and even louder sounds can frighten them. The movement of the planes must have made them feel dangerous. ”

Li Sheng saw that the horses were already two or three kilometers away from them, and he didn't want to walk over, and he didn't want to come in vain. He sensed the position of the herd and noticed that the six horses he had connected to the herd were all in the herd, so he asked them to come over.

Ali soon noticed that the horses were running in this direction, and said with a smile, "They seem to be back again." ”

Only then did Li Sheng remember that one of the horses he had connected to the induction was the King of Horses. It turned around, and of course the other horses followed.

He smiled and said, "Perhaps, they recognize me." ”

"Hey, Lee. Do you think this is the first time I've heard of horses? Horses don't have good eyesight. Ali said amusedly.

Li Sheng shrugged, and could only admit that he didn't understand horses.

The herd runs back and forth for at least four kilometers, but they are not slow. Only a few ponies were left behind.

When the horses stopped at the bottom of the hillside, Li Sheng did not let them continue to come up. Ali saw something: "The stamina of these horses is very good, and they are very fast. Do you guess how long it took them to get back just now?"

Li Sheng saw that he was holding his mobile phone to time it.

I heard him say, "I estimated that the distance from the time they turned around to the time they stopped was two and a half kilometers, but it took them less than three minutes." ”

"It's pretty fast. Li Sheng didn't know whether this speed was fast or slow.

Ali saw that he was indifferent, and finally believed that he really didn't understand horses. With helplessness and a little excitement, he said: "Do you know how long it takes for an average horse to run a kilometer? But your horses can run at that speed. Shouldn't you get excited?"

"Maybe I've seen too much. There is a saying in Huaxia, it's not strange to see it!" Li Sheng said with a smile. "Let's go down. ”

He had seen that the mare in the herd had stopped and was still neighing, presumably calling for the pony that had fallen behind.

They went down to the hillside, and the six horses that had made a connection with Li Sheng came over and sniffed at him.

Seeing this, Ali smiled and said, "It seems that they all like you very much." ”

Li Shengxin said that these horses were brought out of space. The animals in the space have a strong natural affinity for him, and these six horses have established a sensory connection with him. Of course I will be close to him.

Then Ali whispered, "These horses must be one and a half meters long." ”

Li Sheng didn't measure it. However, the tallest horse's back had reached his chin, which should be more than one meter six. The others were a little shorter.

Ali saw that the horses' ears were pricked up, so he whispered, "Now they should be more relaxed, can I touch them?"

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Of course it's no problem." "When he used to play horseback riding in China, the coach told him not to approach unfamiliar horses at will. Otherwise, it is easy to get hurt. But now that he's there, the six horses shouldn't make any harmful moves. (To be continued.) )
