Chapter 003: The Courage of the Tyrant Chieftain
The presence of Sheikh Rashid not only made the whole restaurant wait, but even alarmed the manager of the hotel, who personally came and greeted the prince. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the meals provided by the restaurant also opened the eyes of the Sheikh.
A Michelin-starred chef cooks the best Kobe beef, which is said to have been brought up listening to music, enjoying massages, and drinking beer.
There is also a rare sight of the best bluefin tuna, in the previous life Sheikh heard that RB auctioned a tuna worth tens of millions of yuan, with a total weight of 222 kilograms, and its unit price was more than 40,000 yuan / kilogram.
Sushi made with top-quality tuna meat can cost thousands of dollars in one bite! Rao is gradually accepting his status as a prince, and Sheikh is staggered by the sky-high price of food here.
No wonder you want to blow out the fame of Dubai, the money of local tyrants is easy to make!
Halfway through the meal, he already had an idea in his heart about the development of Dubai, and he was clearly organized to meet the sheikh later, plus the advantages of his reborn, there was definitely something to talk about.
After eating a meal for nearly two hours, Sheikh burped, habitually fumbled in his pockets, and just wanted to find a credit card or something, he was told by the manager not to pay the bill.
"Why?"
Xie He was suspicious, thinking that although he was a feudal prince, he didn't look like a person who had to eat an overlord's meal with poor money, so he looked down on his brother like this?
The manager who heard this question was also surprised, and it wasn't until Amir on the side looked at him that the manager suddenly realized: "The hotel is the property of the Maktoum family, and it belongs to you." ”
When Sheikh heard it, it turned out to be his own industry? He was embarrassed: "I'm sorry! Recently, my mind has been a little messy, and my memory is not very clear. ”
The manager on the side wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, holding back.
"It's time for me to leave." Sheikh stood up with a smile, but he didn't expect that the overlord meal he ate for the first time turned out to be the family's property.
Ben wanted to visit the seven-star hotel, but Amir told him that the sheikh was already on his way back, and the sheikh had something serious on his mind, so he dismissed the idea of wandering.
"Let's arrange a plane." Sheikh said to Amir.
When the latter heard this, he said euphemistically: "Your Highness, it is more appropriate for you to take a car, the security environment around the Chieftaincy Palace is relatively strict." ”
Amir's reminder to the Sheikh also understood that if he swaggered to meet the chief by plane, it would be a little too ostentatious, and the faction would be fiercer than the chief?
After a few more glances at Amir, this guy is not just a dog leg who can pat himself on the back, nodded approvingly: "You said it well, prepare a car for me." ”
Amir said: "Rolls-Royce has parked downstairs for you. ”
Sheikh didn't have to choose: "Lead the way." ”
……
Thinking about the meeting all the way, the car arrived at the Chief's Palace, and Amir helped him tidy up his spotless white robes, and then stepped into this extraordinarily magnificent palace with the grandeur of the local tyrants.
The sheikh's assistant went first to make the report, and only after coming out did he inform the sheikh: "The sheikh is waiting for you." ”
The Sheikh nodded slightly, and walked into the palatial office of a fusion of European and Arabic styles, where the bearded Sheikh of Dubai, dressed in an Arabian robe, was writing at his desk.
Although he is his cheap father, he always has a kind of restraint in his heart, because in the Arab concept, patriarchy is very sacred, and some tribes even require that children not look directly into their father's eyes.
After the rebirth, the Sheikh only met the chief once, and after chatting a few words, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he met alone, but for the sake of the future life of a local tyrant, he had to get out of the way.
Sheikh pulled up a chair at his desk and spoke again, "I have some business matters I want to talk to you about, father. ”
Without looking up, the chief said, "Well, I've seen your bills." ”
These words made Xie He embarrassed for a while, and the brewed words were all stuck in his throat, thinking back to the recent indiscriminate consumption of the original owner of the body, it was estimated that he was going to make the father in front of him pay the bill.
However, the chief's casual words contain the father's doting love for his children, dilute the solemnity of meeting the head of a country (emirate), and the atmosphere is much more relaxed.
Sheikh cheekily continued: "I have the ability to handle those bills. I'm here today because I have a non-private business opportunity, don't you want to create more wealth? ”
The chief finally raised his head, looked at the son who seemed to be a little different, and smiled in disbelief: "Tell me how you want to create wealth for me?" ”
Sheikh voiced his thoughts: "I want to target the gaps in your development strategy, and dedicate a new round of investment beyond traditional real estate, finance, commerce and hospitality. ”
"Which piece?"
"Internet technology field. New businesses like Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google. Sheikh threw out the lofty noun and appeared to be very professional.
The chief didn't quite understand, but he also knew how powerful Microsoft was, and motioned for him to continue.
"When I was studying in the UK, I came into contact with the development of many Internet companies, and I felt that the Internet boom that failed at the end of the last century would come again, and a good technological environment would allow it to get out of the bubble."
"My judgment is not unfounded, today's computers from big to notebook, and then from dial-up broadband to fiber optics, the speed of technological progress has surpassed that of the last century, and the doubling of the Internet population is an example."
"There is a mature technical environment, there are enough participants, communities and forums are frequently rising, online shopping and online banking are emerging, what does this group of users mean? Limitless business opportunities! ”
Sheikh took the Internet economy, which any person in later generations could pull a lot, to the zero five years, and put it in front of this chief with a lot of investment vision.
If future generations listen to these words, at most they will smile slightly, who doesn't understand? But more than ten years ago, especially in Dubai, which had just opened its doors to the world, the impact of new ideas was strong enough.
When it came to the dry mouth of the sheikh to stop, the sheikh was already deep in thought. After a long time, a sentence came out of his mouth: "People's lives in the future cannot be separated from the Internet." ”
"You're right!"
The Sheikh is not a sycophant, he can understand this sentence in this era, this sheikh is not simple-minded. It is no wonder that Dubai is said to have been able to develop its prosperity without relying on oil for generations to come.
This local tyrant chieftain who has a different thinking, who once dared to pump out the oil in one go, spend money to market Dubai, and achieved great success, also showed his courage in a few words.
"How much money do you need?"
The Sheikh waited for this sentence, and he raised the psychological budget a little: "Two hundred million dollars." ”
"I'll give you 500 million."
The chief's words frightened him even more, the Sheikh thought that under the price of 05 years, he could get 200 million, which was already a very nourishing thing, and he was willing to accept half of it.
I never thought that someone was more arrogant than him!
In the end, it is the ancestor of the local tyrant, this courage Sheikh still has to learn!
"However," the chief also requested, "you need to set up an investment group, and the funds can be used for you to practice, but the use will be subject to the supervision of the family members, and I will also arrange for the management of it." ”
"No problem!"
Sheikh fully accepted these conditions, he had no interest in managing a business, let alone the ability, and becoming a top tycoon was his ultimate goal.
Seeing that his child was finally willing to find something serious to do, the chief smiled with relief: "Congratulations on your success!" ”
