The weather is cold, and the ice and snow are covered.

Outside, it was more than ten degrees below zero, but he and Xia Yao stayed in a warm room, but wore a thick polar warm suit, wearing protective goggles, and under the guidance of Jan Joseph and the female bodyguard Magdalena, they learned to ski by the frozen creek.

With a "poof", he fell again, and his clumsy and funny movements made Xia Yao tremble with laughter.

With a sore back and leg pain, he sat in the snow and never wanted to stand up again, so he waved his hand again and again: "Don't practice, rest for a while." ”

"Sir, you can't rest," said Jan Joseph, gasping for breath, "to go to the North Pole, you must be physically fit and master the most basic skiing skills. ”

After four hours of practice, the charter was really unbearable, and he said in an almost pleading tone: "It's not for huskies, I can ride a sled when the time comes." ”

Skiing is a sport, those who will not be tired, those who are tired will not, don't look at Xia Yao's weak look, but he learns very quickly, his movements are as flexible as a professional athlete, he half-bent over and supported two ski poles, slid to his side like a cloud, and said with a smile: "Listen to the coach, get up quickly, practice for a while, just for a while." ”

"Maybe there is a problem with this skateboard, change it tomorrow, and practice it again with a good one."

"You big slacker, just find a reason."

"Mr. Zhang's physical fitness is fine, but he hasn't been able to master the skills."

Magdalena finally said a fair word, and the charter was extremely satisfied, and as she slid awkwardly towards the villa, she smiled unashamedly: "I hear it, my health is good." There's no time. I can go to the Olympics when I have time. ”

Xia Yao snorted and said, "That can only be the Summer Olympics." You can't play in winter. ”

Her words are not unreasonable, the day before yesterday, several students from the physics department of Shengda organized an ice hockey game, and when they saw that there was one less person, they pulled the charter of a professor during class and a friend after class to make up the number.

In order not to spoil everyone's fun, I fell on my head countless times and was out of breath. Sweating profusely, I didn't even touch the ball when I got to the bottom.

"Southerners, you northerners can't compare to you northerners in this regard." The charter looked back and smiled, and said proudly: "Swimming is my strength, and it is not the swimming pool that swims, but the Yangtze River." ”

"The second sister said that all the children who grew up by the river can swim, what is there to show off?"

"So the threesome must have my teacher, you can't beat me anymore and can't slip on the snow."

Set out the facts, be reasonable, and set them up. Xia Yao was happy. Pointing to the polar thermos on his body, he smiled and said, "No one hit you, this is to prepare for going to the North Pole." Forcing you to slip is for your own good. ”

On such a day, everyone would stay at home, but two SUVs with a very high chassis were parked outside the villa, and Jan Joseph did not dare to be careless, glanced at Magdalena, then took out his pistol and stepped forward and asked, "Who?" ”

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

Frederick, who was supposed to be on vacation in his hometown in Germany, jumped out of the car and shouted to this side: "Mr. Zhang, His Royal Highness the Prince has come to see you." ”

What is he here for, is there anything that is impossible to say on the phone? Surprised, he hurriedly kicked off his skateboard and met him with one foot deep and one foot shallow in the snow.

Although the car has not stopped, and the warm wind is blowing out, the sealing performance of the Russian car is really unflattering, and the car is still as cold as an ice cellar, so that Prince Metbu, who is tightly wrapped, is still shivering from the cold.

"Why don't you invite Your Highness in, the door is not locked."

Prince Matebu nodded slightly at Xia Yao and said with a smile: "Zhang, don't blame Mr. Frederick, I asked to wait in the car." ”

"For what?"

"Because Arabs are not in the habit of trespassing into other people's homes."

The charter then asked, "Am I someone else?" ”

"Of course not, but I can't do things that don't fit in with who I am."

What royal tradition, the whole death has to be face-saving, and the charter is ridiculous, while beckoning him and his bodyguards into the house, he asked curiously: "Your Highness, what are you doing in St. Petersburg on such a cold day?" ”

"Horses!"

"I have just built a new stable, and I intend to bring in a few more Russian quick-paced horses, Budyonny horses, and Orlov horses. This is a very important thing, and you can't fake it, so you have to make a trip yourself. ”

Riding a horse and walking an eagle is a fine tradition of Saudi princes, if there are no more than a dozen or twenty famous horses, and there are not dozens of falcons, it is not easy to realize that they go out to meet people.

"It's really important." The charter thought so, and asked, "Did you buy it?" Do you need my help? ”

"I bought it, three in Moscow and four in St. Petersburg, and when the weather is good, I will fly it back."

There is no black tea that he likes, only milk and coffee. People are so generous, and they give away diamonds worth millions of yuan. As the hostess, Xia Yao thought that she should fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and personally made a cup of coffee to warm his body.

The cup of coffee was obviously not brewed in vain, and Prince Metbu took a small sip, then nodded to the bodyguard, and in a few moments, there were six more large boxes in the living room.

He took off his polar warm clothes, changed into a sweater and returned to the living room, pointed to the box and asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, what are you doing here?" ”

"Remember the rubles that were exchanged last year?" Prince Metbu put down the cup and said with a smile: "This is part of it, the depreciation is so powerful, it is no different from waste paper in Riyadh, so bring it smoothly to see if you can come in handy." ”

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the first defendant is gone, and the lawsuit naturally cannot continue. More than a dozen dollars went into a bunch of princes, princes and their own pockets, and when he saw these boxes, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "What about the rest, do you want to find a way to transport them back and exchange them again?" ”

To his great surprise, Prince Meteb said casually: "In fact, the real purpose of my coming here is to transport them back to Russia and give them to those who need them." But that's all done, there's no need to bother your subordinates. ”

There is no doubt that all the rubles went to the Russian Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Turkmens, Kyrgyz, Tajiks or Azerbaijanis.

They have been hooking up with the Saudi royal family. Trying to achieve national independence. This makes the charter realize. Now the Chechen armed forces are getting more and more fierce. It must have the support of the Saudi royal family, which considers itself the "guardian of the two holy places".

The charter touched the box and kindly reminded, "Your Highness, since you have no intention of entering politics, there is no need to get involved in those things that have nothing to do with you. ”

"Zhang, I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you, let alone affect our business. The reason for this trip. It's all about wiping the ass of last year's exchange business. You must know that there are many princes in Saudi Arabia, and only a few have benefited, and I have to fulfill the obligations of a member of the royal family when I receive the favor of the king. Only in this way can everyone's mouth be gag. ”

Prince Meteb paused, and added, "And this is the first and last time. ”

Wipe his butt for him, why not wipe his butt for himself.

After all, so many rubles remain in the Saudi Bank, which will attract the attention of others sooner or later, and if someone really finds out the ins and outs of the matter, it will inevitably affect the reputation of himself and the group.

"I'm sorry. Your Highness, I have misunderstood you. ”

"Nothing to be sorry about. You're also for our business. ”

Prince Meteb changed his words and smiled excitedly: "I received a call from Muhammad in the hotel in the morning, and he said that the 'future window' is selling very well. And believe that the color TV agency business,Will become the company's new profit growth point this year。 ”

Saudi Arabia is the world's most high-quality market, and its sales profit is even higher than that of NB Electronics.

Looking at his smiling face, he said with a smile: "This is just the beginning, and then there is the computer business, the software business and the large-scale imaging diagnostic equipment business of NB Medical. ”

"There are people doing all these businesses, and there are many powerful people among them, and in fact this is one of the reasons why I took the ruble job, only if the royal family has more say can we ensure that our business will not be affected."

Thousands of princes, tentacles stretched to all walks of life, it can be said that the competitors in Saudi Arabia are not international counterparts such as Japan's Panasonic, Sony, Sharp and South Korea's four-star, but those royals like Prince Meteb.

The more you earn, the less others will have, and they are all used to eating alone, without any possibility of cooperation.

Realizing how important the influence of the current man in the royal family was to his future business, he thought about it and said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, the political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is worrying, and there are serious differences between the Muslims, Serbs and Croats on issues such as the future of the country and the division of territory, and a war is likely to break out. ”

Just as Americans are self-righteous enough to have a strong sense of purpose, the Saudi royal family sees them as having an obligation to lead the world's Sunni Muslims.

The information in front of him was accurate, and the political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina was as worrying as he said, and Prince Metb couldn't help asking: "Then when do you think the war will break out?" ”

"Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, in short, if the current trend continues, war is inevitable. If you're in Germany, you know that Mr. Daniel is preparing for this. ”

He took a sip of coffee and continued: "The ethnic contradictions are so great that I am even afraid that there will be a terrible genocide there. ”

Although 43.7 per cent of the total population of more than 4 million are Muslims, 31.4 per cent Serbs and 17.3 per cent are Croats, the MSL has always been a repressed ethnic group due to their beliefs during the socialist period of the former Yugoslavia. There are many people, but the strength is not very good, the guns are in the hands of the Serbs, if there is a genocide, it can only be the Mu people who will be slaughtered.

Prince Matebu suddenly gasped, and immediately got up and said, "Zhang, I want to make a call." ”

The charter grabbed him by the arm and reminded: "Your Highness, this is just a speculation, you not only have to think about what to say, but also have a plan that belongs to you." ”

Engaging in politics is really not Prince Mateb's strong point, he thought for a while, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Based on a conjecture alone, it is difficult to convince His Majesty the King. As for planning, as you know, I have never held a government position. ”

Let's fight, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

Charters glanced back, and Frederick understood, giving Jan-Joseph and Magdalena a look. He walked into the room quietly. Let the two of them communicate individually.

Haven't eaten pork. It doesn't mean that you haven't seen a pig run.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "The Mu people now need not only funds, but also sophisticated weapons and experienced instructors, and only by organizing, mobilizing, and arming them can they avoid possible persecution. Your Highness, funding shouldn't be a problem for you. As long as you make it clear to the devout MSL brothers, you should be able to raise enough money. ”

The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, and the Saudi tycoons contributed money and efforts to support the Afghans; The same is true of the war between North and South Yemen, which can be said to have won with the full support of Saudi Arabia; Iraq fought Iran, Saudi tycoons had the money to contribute, and even a few princes went to war;

Now there is no need to fight, and secretly support the Russian MSL brothers. However, the disparity in strength is too great, and there is almost no possibility that they can be independent.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, by contrast, is an excellent arena for religious fanatics.

Prince Metbu is rational. He just needs to have a little bit of influence in the royal family to make more money. I'm really not interested in this nonsense. However, if something can be done at the most critical time for the Bosnian Mu people, and let His Majesty the King and those high-ranking members of the royal family see, then business will be much easier in the future.

"You're right, as long as someone takes the lead, fundraising should be fine."

"Then there are weapons, which the Saudi government cannot openly support, at least until the war breaks out. In addition, the supply of ammunition must be taken into account, so it can only be found in the countries of the former Warsaw Pact or the former Soviet republics. ”

"I know an arms dealer and I believe this is not a problem for him. ”

"Then there's the seasoned officer, Your Highness, you just sent those friends a huge sum of money, so they should make something in return. What's more, for them, this is not only a sacred cause, but also the best opportunity for real combat training. ”

Recruiting MSL officers who had worked in the former Soviet army, Prince Mateb nodded slightly and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"The final step is to enlist the support of the international community, but this is through diplomatic channels."

After thinking for a moment, he added: "In addition, you can't do these things yourself, so you need to assemble a team of military experts, diplomats, financial personnel, religious people, and experts who are good at dealing with the media, and it is better to set up a charitable foundation to operate in the name of the foundation." ”

"Like a running company?"

"Yes, in fact there is no difference between war and business."

Prince Meteb was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile: "With Muhammad in business to handle those endless affairs, and yours as a close partner, Zhang, I think I need a shrewd and capable Foundation President." ”

"If you want to understand military affairs and politics, it's not easy to find such people."

"So you can only leave this kind of professional business to a professional team to operate, find a reputable and strong company, there are many in South Africa, I believe they will be interested."

Go to South Africa to find a mercenary company, worthy of the Saudi prince, as long as he can solve the problem with money, he will never do it himself.

"That's okay," the charter said with a tacit smile, "set a general direction for them and let them play to their heart's content." ”

"The main thing is that I don't have time."

Prince Mateb's face was straight, and he said with a serious attitude: "Zhang, I forgot to tell you that in a few months, I will represent Saudi Arabia in the Barcelona Olympics." ”

I really didn't see that he still had athletic talent, and the charter general was skeptical, staring into his eyes and asking, "Your Highness, what event do you participate in, shooting or archery?" ”

"No, no, no, I'm not interested in shooting, I'm competing in dressage."

The coordination between the horse and the jockey, the flexibility of the horse, and the degree of taming of the horse to the jockey are demonstrated by the horse making prescribed movements such as marching, galloping, and jogging within the specified time, and there is a musical accompaniment, which is called "the ballet performance of the horse".

"Then I wish you a good result, preferably a gold medal."

His Royal Highness the Prince didn't know whether he was really free and easy, or he didn't have much confidence in himself, or he just wanted to feel the atmosphere of the Olympic Games, so he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you win the gold medal or not, the important thing is to participate." By the way, I will book tickets for the opening ceremony and equestrian competition for you and Miss Xia, and book the best room at the nearest hotel. ”

The charter shook his head and said apologetically: "Your Highness, maybe I really don't have time to cheer for you, because the NB Laboratory is going to the Arctic for a scientific expedition at the end of August or early September, and I am not only the initiator and deputy team leader, but also has several topics, and I really can't take a break."
