Chapter 229: The First Step
"On what terms?" Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah said in unison.
"Money, a lot of money, the upfront investment of this jihua will probably be billions of dollars, without enough financial support, it is just a moon in the water." Fang Mingyuan said solemnly.
Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah looked at each other for a long time, and Prince Maktum asked, "Fang, are you sure that this jihua can have a boosting effect on the economy of the Emirate of Dubai?" "If it is said that spending so much money is just to make the United Arab Emirates and the Emirate of Dubai famous for a while, it is not worth it, if it is just for the sake of fame, one billion dollars, enough to bombard advertisements in well-known Shijie media for a year, but such fame is not what he wants.
"Of course, there will be benefits, and it is a long-term benefit, if you say the haode of publicity, it will form a fairly long-term impact on the high-end people of the whole shijie, their consumption power is undoubtedly the most guaranteed, and their focus is bound to affect ordinary civilians." Fang Mingyuan is categorical.
Prince Maktum let out a sigh and said, "Fang, I think that's no problem!" As long as it can be sustainably developed and can generate returns, I will put everything I have into the initial investment. ”
Prince Abdullah also smiled: "Fang, you don't have to worry about the funds, although the oil resources of the Emirate of Dubai are not much in the entire Middle East, but the investment of more than a billion US dollars, Maktum can still afford it." Hehe, he has five private jets, one of which is a modified Boeing 737! Moreover, with his popularity, it is not a problem to borrow a billion or eight billion among his brothers and sisters, Fang, this piece, you can put twelve hearts. ”
Regarding the wealth of the Emirate of Dubai, Fang Mingyuan had heard about it in his previous life, and water was more valuable than oil; Mercedes was used as a police car, and gold jewelry was part of a woman's weight. It's simply better than Marco. Polo's depiction of the ancient kingdom of the East is even more enticing, with the tallest Burj Khalifa in the whole world, costing $1 billion, with 160 floors and a height of more than 818 meters. The Dubai Mall, the largest shopping mall in Shijie, is also here, and almost all the boutiques you can imagine in Shijie are concentrated here. There are more than a dozen movie theaters in the shopping mall alone, and there are more than 100,000 parking spaces, and shops selling gold can be found everywhere.
It's just that all this, for now, is only a prospect. When Fang Mingyuan thought that he would become the promoter of this myth, he felt indescribable excitement in his heart. Moreover, in Fang Mingyuan's view, the collapse of the Dubai myth in the previous life was largely due to the eagerness of the Emirate of Dubai, driven by the international situation, and did not realize the danger brought by the continuous promotion of real estate.
Fang Mingyuan motioned to the servant on the side to bring a pen and paper, he drew dots, and quickly drew a schematic diagram of the Arabian Hotel in his previous life, that is, the Burj Al Arab Hotel, on the paper, and pushed it in front of Prince Maktum. Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah put their heads together and watched intently, and the unique shape of the building on the paper was like a huge and exquisite sailing ship reflected in the blue waters, ready to ride the wind and waves.
"What is this?" Prince Maktum asked after a while.
"A hotel destined to become famous!" Fang Mingyuan casually pulled the paper back and said, "Prince Maktum, a country must have its landmark buildings, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven in China, the pyramids in Egypt, and the Eiffel Tower in France. And you, the United Arab Emirates and the Emirate of Dubai, also need to have such a landmark that can leave an extremely deep impression on the world. ”
"Hotel?" Prince Abdullah exclaimed, "There are thousands of hotels in Shijie, and five-star hotels are also all over Shijie, can this hotel also become a landmark?" ”
Fang Mingyuan said disdainfully: "Five-star? The standard of this hotel is 7 stars! ”
"Seven stars?" This time, Prince Maktum couldn't help but scream. Everyone in the world knows that Shijie's hotel star rating standard is only five stars at the highest! Not to mention seven stars, it is six stars, which has never been seen on this shijie. But the two didn't think it was Fang Mingyuan's ignorance, or a slip of the tongue.
"That's right! This will be a super luxury hotel with facilities much higher than that of a five-star hotel, and in my vision, this hotel will only be open to the most high-end consumers of Shijie, and the hotel's service is designed to make all guests who enter here feel like they are members of the Arab royal family. The hotel will be built on a small island not far from the shore, connected to the mainland by a long bridge across the sea. There is a helicopter airport above the hotel, which can be used by guests, and each of the rooms here is a duplex, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows for a 270-degree view of the sea, and you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Arabian Gulf with half sea and half desert from the bed; Each room in the hotel is more than 100 square meters, and the bathroom is more than two square meters, with a huge jacuzzi; The floor in the lobby, the doorknobs in the rooms, and the fittings in the bathrooms are all uncompromising gold. All guests in the hotel must make a reservation, and guests who are not staying at the hotel or not dining at the hotel are not allowed to enter. The state-of-the-art suites here are elegantly decorated, decorated with top-notch decorations and novelty furnishings from all over Shijie, making guests feel as if they were living in the royal palace of an Arab royal family, all of which are gilded. The suites should have a private elevator, a private cinema, a revolving bed, an Arabic meeting room, and even a cloakroom that is larger than a typical hotel room......"
With Fang Mingyuan's description, Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah couldn't help but widen their eyes, indeed as Fang Mingyuan said, if this hotel can meet this standard, this is impossible for any five-star hotel on Shijie to provide.
"And most importantly, this is a hotel in the shape of a sailboat, so the whole hotel should show water everywhere, for example, there should be a musical fountain at the door, which will spray water with different music, there should be a large number of aquariums in the hotel, with all kinds of rare fish, and there will be an undersea restaurant below, so that guests can enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery while enjoying the food." In Fang Mingyuan's view, anyone who has lived in the desert will understand that water is the most precious thing there!
Prince Maktum's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his gaze towards Fang Mingyuan was also very different. To be honest, although when Fang Mingyuan said that it was not difficult to realize his wish, Prince Maktum was so excited that when he calmed down, although he didn't think that Fang Mingyuan was definitely bragging, he didn't think that Fang Mingyuan would be able to come up with any reasonable plan in this short period of time. But with Fang Mingyuan's drawing explanation, Prince Maktum was more and more able to understand the cleverness of Fang Mingyuan's suggestion.
"Seven star hotel!" To put it bluntly, it is the first hotel in Shijie, which attracts the attention of the world with the name of the world's best. The Middle East, weishenme Saudi Arabia is well known? Because it is the shijie oil market, both in terms of the number of exports and the amount of oil reserves, it deserves to be the boss! If there is an ultra-luxury hotel in the Emirate of Dubai, and its appearance is so ingenious, it is bound to make the Emirate of Dubai famous internationally!
Moreover, Fang Mingyuan made it very clear that this hotel is for the rich people of Shijie, although the investment is huge, but the future income must be extremely considerable. He can also be called a rich man, he naturally understands that those rich people who are all shijie can be described as spending money, and for a good horse, they can throw millions of pounds without even blinking. As long as they can show their noble status, the cost of accommodation will naturally not be taken into account by them.
Moreover, with the presence of so many royal family members in the Middle East, Prince Maktum is not worried about no guests coming to his door in the future. If they are satisfied, they may ask for it all year round.
"Abdullah is really right, this young man from China is really a little different, how could I not think of such an idea?" Prince Maktum said secretly in his heart. The Emirate of Dubai is located in the middle of the Arabian Peninsula and on the southern shore of the Arabian Gulf, the center of the Gulf region, and it is also located in the throat of the inner bay of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, and has always been known as the pearl of the Gulf. With extremely beautiful scenery, with the economic development of the Emirate of Dubai, in recent years, the emirate of Dubai tourism shijie tourists from all over the world has shown a significant upward trend, if there is a Shijie first hotel appeared, the tourism industry of the Emirate of Dubai will undoubtedly have a greater popularity on shijie, and the income of tourism will naturally rise.
With such an obvious expected return on investment, Prince Maktum is naturally much more stable, even if the hotel can only maintain a balance of payments, as long as it can attract more foreign tourists, from the overall situation, the Emirate of Dubai will still benefit from this.
"This is just the first step for Jihua!" However, Fang Mingyuan's next words surprised Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah again.
Such a big stroke, but it's just the first step in jihua?
