Chapter 9 Abha
For Jiaming, who is not very restrained in personality, it is indeed not very interesting to travel to Saudi Arabia, of course, this only refers to the tourism itself. For him, true self-interest is only a small part of his character, and if he is really asked where he wants to go, I am afraid that no place is as interesting as sleeping at home, not only Saudi Arabia or the distinction between Britain and the United States.
This kind of thing is organized by Dongfang Wan, once or twice a year, Dongfang Wan is happy, Lingjing Shasha Yahan is happy, he actually feels happy and comfortable, Kaoru's personality is quiet, whether he is happy or not is not in travel, don't think about this.
However, compared to China, Saudi Arabia is indeed a place with many taboos or restrictions, even if it is tourism, it may not be free, as a country that believes in Islam - no, maybe it is too superficial to say that it is still too superficial to say that it is still too superficial to believe in Islam, this is the birthplace of Islam in the world, where the holy city of Mecca is located, and the customs of Islam are deeply rooted in every part of the country, and deeply into the bone marrow of every person.
These strict teachings lead to the fact that there are no easy entertainment places in the country of Saudi Arabia, there are no cinemas, no bars, drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited in public places, women must wrap themselves tightly on the street, if it is a local Saudi woman, I am afraid that it will be difficult to say a few words to a man outside the family for the rest of her life, the religious police are quite sensitive to this aspect, and local women who talk to strange men will be treated as adultery, and there are a lot of customs of worship and customs of interacting with people.
Of course, Jiaming himself is a person without faith, and there is no discrimination on religious issues, and Saudi Arabia has also developed tourism in recent years, and if foreign friends come, the restrictions will naturally not be too strict, but that is only relative. Lingjing and these people come here, there are still many restrictions, and it is basically impossible to vacation without any worries in other tourist destinations. Of course, Ling Jing and Yahan are not as superficial as Jia Ming.
"When you come to Saudi Arabia to play, of course, you have to experience the customs of the locals, feel how the people here in Saudi Arabia live, and you have to respect the customs of others."
These women have no resistance to this role-playing experience, and the next day they put on a black robe in the hotel, learning from Saudi women to wrap their bodies and heads and faces, of course, Saudi women are digging two holes in the black scarf, only eyes can be seen, similar to Lingjing and other female tourists, it is enough to cover a black veil to maintain a mysterious beauty. Xiao Yunting doesn't need to dress up at this age, but twelve-year-old Taotao has to put on a scarf, a group of people are busy in various rooms, Taotao is very happy to look in the mirror and see that she only shows half of her face.
"Aunt Jing, Aunt Jing, wouldn't it be nice to wear a ring on your nostrils and then a chain......"
Yun Jie despised her on the side: "Idiot, it's the Indians who string the rings, because they worship cows, and you can go to the street and say hello to people and say Savadika to try." ”
"Silly Jesawadika is Thai."
"It's not without Indian women who can speak Thai...... You don't have imagination. ”
The very imaginative Silly Jie was arguing with the little girl Hei Tao over there, and Jiaming whispered to Sha Sha on the other side: "There is a great custom here in Saudi Arabia, if someone invites us to dinner, we must show a very curious look after arriving at his house, what are you curious about, people will give you something, for example, if you ask what time it is, the other party will take off the watch for you, anyway, the Saudi Arabian side is separate for men and women, we go to have a meal, we can empty all the people's homes...... ”
Sha Sha couldn't help but smile and stared at him there for a long time, and suddenly stretched out two fingers: "Fork your eyes" She was trained in Venice Dark Lyra before, and when it comes to Saudi Arabia, except for Jia Ming, who pretends to be stupid, she probably understands it best, but the two of them don't often talk about these things at home. They came with the delegation, and the Saudi side was hospitable, so they would naturally make an invitation or something, but last night Jia Ming had already told Dongfang Wan that his gang would not participate in these things, and let her help push them all away. Where will there be any dinner today, at this time, it is just Jiaming here to break around.
Abha is indeed one of the famous tourist destinations in Saudi Arabia, where the altitude is high, the summer clouds are thick, the temperature is not high, and the palace used to be built as a summer residence for the Saudi royal family, and now the palace has been converted into a modern hotel. However, the delegation did not stay there, and they are now staying in a newly opened modern star-rated hotel, and the facilities are quite luxurious. Over the years, Saudi Arabia has built economic cities with Chinese capital, and a large part of this hotel is also a Chinese shareholding, so the delegation decided to stay here.
Although it was still raining in Abha the next day, as long as there was a car, there were still many places to go, but Saudi Arabia had strict restrictions on taking pictures, no public places could be taken, no people could be photographed, no religious buildings, military buildings, government buildings, and so on, Ling Jing was too lazy to bother, so he didn't bring a camera, and in fact, it was not as strict as he really said, Jiaming took out his mobile phone to take some photos for them, and no one really came to care about anything.
On this day, I went to visit several fixed tourist spots such as summer palaces, which are basically Jiaming's gang, because Dongfang Wan and Yahan put down their business problems and went together, and the official side also sent an official to accompany them, but there was no problem. Jin Shuping and her pair of children didn't come, she looked like a housewife or something, but she was actually quite busy, and this time she seemed to be helping her husband with something, mysterious.
Jiaming and the others played outside for a day, and the delegation had their own tasks, and that night in the hotel, when Jiaming passed by the leisure area, he saw Lingjing and Jin Shuping talking mysteriously over there, and it was probably Jin Shuping who was instilling some very powerful secrets of the meridian world with Lingjing, Jiaming listened for a while, and laughed as bored as yesterday.
Women are probably curious and show-off animals, Ling Jing asked Jin Shuping what she was doing today, and Jin Shuping mysteriously went around a lot.
“…… Over the years, although China has developed, the accumulation in Europe is too thick, and if you really compare it, you can send your children to Europe to study and see how much it costs. Although Saudi Arabia is said to be a country in Asia, but in terms of geographical location, in terms of past development, it is closer to the European economy, and there is a hidden economy that everyone does not know about these years, which has always been a giant that controls the European side, and has contributed to the establishment of the European Union has its shadow, and Saudi Arabia's oil trade This economic organization also accounts for a large part of the share, if there is anyone else in the world who can compete with economies like the United States and China, it is probably it......"
If it were an ordinary person talking about such a thing, Ling Jing would probably have to say that it was a fantasy or something, but Jin Shuping has a different status now, and the things she has come into contact with are also different, not to mention that Jia Ming has revealed some things before, which also allows her to accept these piecemeal. She didn't like to listen to what Jiaming said, and felt that it made life unrealistic, she was happy to listen to Jin Shuping's gossip, holding her chin and nodding again and again, Jin Shuping also said that she spoke more energetically.
"If you don't reach a certain level, you can't get in touch with such things at all, let me tell you, many of the world's top 500 companies are part of its control, and the leader of this organization is still a woman, right...... We came here this time, not purely for a few contracts in Saudi Arabia, but mainly because we got in touch with that side to discuss some things related to new energy, if we can tie this line, Jiayu will be a real world-class company......"
Among the several major organizations in the dark world, Darklyra may indeed be the most economically powerful underground manipulator, and this is mainly because of the identity of the Empress. The first generation of the Dark Lyre Empress herself was a natural evolutionary, she found some kind of method similar to immortality, and after her death, the inheritance from generation to generation, although the power is still weakening after all, but the inheritance of thousands of years spans almost one-third of the history of human civilization. Thinking of the natural evolutionary, Jia Ming couldn't help but think of Xie Baoshu, but he didn't know where he was now and what kind of things he was doing. However, unlike the first generation of empresses who looked forward to eternal life, he and Hiroki Twimura, two natural evolutionaries who only intended to be ordinary people, probably would not have left such a clear scratch on the progress of human civilization.
After whispering gossip over there for a while, Jia Ming heard Lingjing's puzzled voice sound: "Uh, what you said can't be...... Duke of Westminster ...... What Natalie? Annis's bar......"
"Ah, you've heard of that name?"
"Like...... I think I've heard of it...... Hehe, haha...... I can't remember clearly, I forgot where I heard it......"
Of course, I've heard of it before, it's either Jiaming's side or Shasha's side, but these two people have said it lightly, and Jin Shuping said this, she can't connect the name that "seems" to have heard of it with such an exaggerated background.
Jiaming shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave.
That night, Ling Jing rode on him and pinched his neck: "Say, what kind of Natalie, the woman who took care of her so much when Shasha was in Europe, is she really such a powerful person?" Jin Shuping, they actually begged her to do something......"
"Ahem...... I told you a long time ago, I was a very powerful person, and your husband and I are also very powerful. Jin Shuping is right to ask her to do something, but it is impossible for Natalie to receive her in person, at most there is an agent......"
"Well, when I heard you tell Shasha before, I knew that she was a very powerful organization leader, but I didn't expect her to be so terrifying...... I thought I should thank her for the Sasha thing......"
"It's not as exaggerated as Jin Shuping said, I really think of others as some kind of underground emperor...... There is a secret manipulation, but it is not to a very strict level, and I am afraid that not many people at the top of those big groups really know about the existence of Natalie. And Xiaowan, who you often come into contact with, is also very scary now, capitalists are nothing, but red capitalists, those who are in contact with the military industry, in the eyes of these foreigners, I am afraid she is similar to the big warlords in some war story......"
"Well, I don't feel it after a long time of contact...... Is Xiao Wan so powerful......"
"A few days ago, someone treasoned and was ordered by her to kill ......"
Ling Jing lay there in distress for a while: "What do you say Natalie is nothing, you say Xiaowan...... I don't think it's realistic anyway, she went out with us today and discussed with us what jewelry looks good......"
Jiaming hugged her: "Heh, lie to your ......"
Ling Jing also laughed: "Whatever, anyway...... Xiaowan is my good friend......"
On the first day, I visited some of the fixtures near the hotel, but on the second day there was nothing to do, as it was still raining outside, and the original plan to visit Asir National Park near Abha was postponed for another day. Because it is said that Tian Sihao will meet with Natalie's representative today, and Jin Shuping will be able to spare time tomorrow, and everyone will come over together, and it seems that if it rains again today, the rain will probably stop.
Jia Ming went out early in the morning.
They had to stay in the hotel all day, he had a date to go to today, and when he went out, he was dressed like an Arab, wrapped in a white turban, wearing a white robe, of course, if it was a passerby, he could probably see at a glance that he was a tourist.
The rain was not heavy, in fact, since last night there has been a tendency to stop for a while, and he took an umbrella and walked with it. In fact, Saudi Arabia he also has experience, for many things know the roots, in general, this is not as good as the outside world advertises, a rich land that produces black gold, in fact, people here are generally lazy, probably because of the reason for the comfortable life, the advantage is that the airport here, what security checks, are very relaxed, and it is very convenient to carry bombs or something.
Foreign workers are treated very differently than natives, and it is one of the most conservative areas in the Arab world, with many restrictions. In some respects, it can be said that the general law and order is good, but in fact, inside, after the underworld is linked to religion, it is quite murderous, of course, most of the underworld here is robbing interests such as water resources, and it is actually quite troublesome, more difficult than the Hong Kong Triad, Yakuza in Japan, etc.
Of course, these are just his impressions when he was a killer in his previous life, all based on whether people are good or not, whether the locals are difficult or not, and whether the action will go smoothly is the benchmark, at this time it is probably meaningless, not to mention that Natalie is half the master here, and now there is no need to think about these anymore.
The place to go is actually not very far away from the hotel, the walk is about half an hour, compared to the country, there is no sidewalk on the streets of Saudi Arabia, the locals drive very fast, all kinds of vehicles speed on the road, including quite expensive sports cars, Jiaming even saw Tian Sihao and Jin Shuping's car driving from the road, but Jiaming is dressed today, only in the car I am afraid I can't recognize him.
The section of the street where the destination is located is relatively quiet, with beautiful green belts on both sides, rows of coconut trees, and even a sense of solemnity in the early morning rain, and a large area of Islamic-style manors and buildings along the road. "Semir Manor" is a very imposing and mysterious place where I don't know who currently lives there.
There were two servants standing at the door, the family Ming Dynasty walked over, did not hand any invitations or anything like that, and did not even speak, the other party had already welcomed him in, through the outer corridor, and in charge of greeting him was an Arab woman in a black robe and a mask, and a corridor, an Arabic-style courtyard, a small pond, and a coconut tree, and when he entered the golden room in the center of the huge manor, the two women in the center of the room seemed to be praying.
They were all dressed in black robes and black gauzes, but they were not completely tightly wrapped like the local women, wearing a veil instead of a headscarf with only two holes, one of the women knelt there, bowing in the direction of Mecca, quite a solemn feeling, and the other woman seemed to be a little unprofessional, and she was not very attentive to the prayer, and when she saw Jiaming come in, she was also dressed as this virtue, first blinked her eyes and looked at it, and then raised her hand with a smile, ready to get up: "Hi." ”
"Oh." Jiaming clasped his hands together, "Savadika." ”
"Sa ......" The woman was stunned, and then laughed suddenly, "Sa your mother...... Funny......" She smiled and ripped off her veil to wipe her eyes, this woman is one of the current rulers of Darkly, Kelly? Vernim.
Before he could start talking, there were already fast footsteps behind him, and a crisp voice shouted: "Home-Ming" Jiaming turned around, and an energetic figure in a white sweatshirt was already approaching, one of the widely known identities was Janet, the queen of European music, whose real name was Heidi, had turned into a cannonball and flew in.
"Hey, wait......"
With a snort, Heidi rushed into his arms.
Helplessly stretched out his hand, grabbed the crook of her legs, and turned this beautiful woman with her body dangling into the form of a princess hug, Heidi wrapped her arms around his neck, and was about to imprint a kiss on his face, when Kelly's voice sounded next to her: "Oh, you guys are very interesting, how about counting me in?" ”
"Ah, Sister Kelly......"
Another figure rushed like a black cannonball, and Jia Ming shouted "Hey", and then, the three of them rolled to the ground, like a broken bowling ball.
In a moment, Heidi sat up on her knees from the carpet and covered her forehead with her hands: "Ah, I hit my head......"
"I know you travel every year, but how about you come with the economic delegation this time......
"It's just a stop, you know, Dongfang Road is the leader of this time."
"How do you feel about Saudi Arabia?"
"It's actually quite boring on a rainy day, I thought I could go to Riyadh and go to see the head killer on Friday." (Note: Saudi Arabia still retains the punishment of beheading for felonies, the execution day is set on Friday, in the capital Riyadh, the place of execution is the square in front of the Grand Mosque, of course, not every Friday, but in addition to beheading, there is also the punishment of flogging for the offender, for the thief to chop off the hands and feet, for the adulterous - maybe strange men and women chat even - will be juxtaposed in the square to make people stone, sometimes people are stoned)
"Killing heads is actually quite boring...... You have come on a good day, and even in Abha, it is not often that there are days of rain. ”
"I heard that I came here for new energy or something?"
"New energy is what they do, and I'm just here for a vacation. But speaking of which, according to the current situation in the world, new energy is also imminent, but although this is the case, the current progress is not much. ”
"Oh, I don't know anything about this......"
This is a fragment of Jiaming and Natalie's small talk, the two are currently positioned as friends, in fact, they have met once or twice a year because of various things, Kelly and Jiaming have always maintained contact with the Internet, sometimes there is something new to open a video, and I can often see it.
Heidi has often traveled to China over the years, as a singer, everyone naturally thinks that she wants to open up the Chinese market, but the trend of English songs in China is not good, she can't mix with the same fame as Europe and the United States, many people regard this as a thankless task, she still does it. She was four and a half years younger than Jia Ming, twenty-eight years old, but her Chinese-American blood made her still look innocent, twenty years old, and soon after, the two sat by the garden, and Heidi talked about the recent award, like a well-behaved daughter who showed off to her father with a certificate.
"Actually, it's very boring here in Saudi Arabia, you have to wrap yourself up when you go out, and there's nothing to play...... By the way, I recently learned a magic trick......"
"Can I go to you...... But I guess if I go to the hotel to find you, people will feel weird...... When I go to China in September, you will spend a day with me. ”
"By the way, by the way, what about the other day......"
nagged about what had happened recently, what was in her heart, and after a long time, she laughed: "By the way, my mother is also here, and she is ...... in the room over there."
She stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of the side, Jiaming nodded, and then was pushed by her: "Go, go, go......" Jiaming rubbed her hair, got up and went over there, and when she looked back, Heidi was sitting there, leaning forward slightly, her hands were propped up on the stone railing on her side, and her slender legs were stretched out in front of her, she was a girl with both oriental and pure temperament and western sexy beauty, when she raised her head and smiled, sunlight seeped out of the sky where the rain had just stopped, and it was sprinkled on her face.
Seeing Jia Ming looking over, she smiled and pursed her lips and made a kissing expression.
