King Dammam International Airport.

"The scenery here is very chic!"

Zhong Shi stood on the top of the aircraft suspension ladder, looking into the distance, a desolation and yellow sand, faintly dotted with a little green, and the tall reinforced concrete buildings in the distance were faintly visible. These buildings, which were originally strangely shaped, were even more distorted in the rising heat, as if they were mirages.

"Let's go, this damn place!"

Gao Dongfang behind Zhong Shi had just poked out his head when he choked back on the heat wave that came to his face. He looked at the ground dissatisfied, then looked back at the interior of Zhong Shi's special plane, and then shouted dissatisfiedly.

The luxury of the interior of this special plane made the well-informed Gao Dongfang also staggering. Now that he is leaving this "luxury box" and returning to the scorching heat, the sense of loss in his heart can be imagined.

"Relax, my friend, this time I have come to visit our prince friend in a private capacity." Zhong Shi looked at Gao Dongfang with a serious face, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said teasingly, "You must not put on that face at home, otherwise it will ruin my whole plan, and then you will be the only one to ask." Pampering is not feasible here, don't grind, come out quickly. ”

"Dare you not be pampered?"

Gao Dongfang looked at Zhong Shi who was descending the ladder speechlessly, and muttered dissatisfiedly. However, when the corner of his eye swept to the luxury car that was slowly driving into the tarmac, he immediately changed to a harmless smile and quickly got out of the cabin.

"Mr. Zhongshi?"

A bearded Arab approached and asked in a strange tone of English, "I am Ibn Faisal's butler. Aziz, you can call me Ibn. I have been commanded to meet you, and I would like you and your men to come with us this way. ”

He said as he looked behind Zhong Shi. But I watched it for a long time. The butler named Ibn was stunned to find that only Zhong Shi and Gao Dongfang were on the entire plane, and even though he was used to seeing all kinds of luxuries of the royal family, he was still shocked by Zhong Shi's pomp.

"This is Mr. Gao Dongfang from Huaxia!" Zhong Shi looked at the eight brand-new Rolls-Royces, smiled and didn't say anything.

Only then did Ibn come to his senses, and his eyes became respectful and humble when he looked at Jongshi. Bending down slightly, two steps behind Bell Stone, he guided Bell Stone towards a Rolls-Royce.

Gao Dongfang looked at the group of Rolls-Royce cars that were brushed together, and then looked back at the Boeing passenger plane on the tarmac, the muscles on his face twitched twice, and he was completely speechless.

Jibai, the second largest city in Saudi Arabia, borders the Arabian Gulf and the heart of the Arabian Peninsula. It has unique geographical conditions. And because it is adjacent to Syria, Qatar and other countries that are also rich in oil, Jibai is not only the second largest city in Saudi Arabia, but also a key city and trade center in this region.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, Jibai has implemented a liberal and stable economic policy, vigorously developed entrepot trade, tourism and other businesses, and strived to get rid of dependence on the oil industry. Today, Djibai's entrepot trade and tourism have grown into two major industries that can keep pace with the oil industry.

Because of rapid development. So in the last two decades, Jibai has built a series of modern infrastructures, and the buildings that Bell Stone saw earlier are part of it.

In the midst of these modern infrastructures. In particular, the Burj Al Arab, which is built on a reclaimed area, is the most famous. The people of Jibai, a few hundred meters from the coastline, reclaimed an artificial island from the sea and built an ultra-luxury hotel in the shape of a sailing ship on it. The interior of the Burj Al Arab is resplendent and luxurious, beyond the imagination of the ordinary. Even the faucets in the bathrooms are made of pure gold, a level of luxury that makes it the only seven-star hotel in the world.

In addition to the iconic Burj Al Arab, Gibay is home to the world's largest shopping mall and the tallest building in the world...... Countless whimsical buildings have sprung up in this port city, making it a place in just two decades. It has become one of the focal cities of the whole world.

As the convoy drove into the city, Zhongshi and Gao Dongfang were full of praise for the scenery: curved buildings that resemble candle flames, buildings that can rotate freely and change shape all the time, and filled islands that resemble the earth......

"What an eye-opener!"

When the convoy finally stopped at the entrance of the Burj Al Arab, Zhong Shi gave a thumbs up and praised Ibn from the bottom of his heart, "Your architecture here is truly beyond the expectations of the world, and it is nothing short of a miracle." No, it's just a miracle. ”

A proud smile appeared on Ibn face, but he still said humbly: "This miracle was actually created by His Royal Highness the Prince, I hope that your distinguished guest you will enjoy all this, and Allah praises you!" ”

He touched his chest with his hand, bowed his head, bowed to Zhong Shi, and quietly retreated.

"Zhong, my friend, you're finally here!"

In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Burj Al Arab, Prince Faisal is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a glass of whiskey in hand, waiting for Bell Stone. Seeing Zhong Shi enter the room, he raised the wine glass in his hand, looked at the wine table on the side, and motioned Zhong Shi to take care of himself.

"Wow, that's ...... here"

Zhong Shi poured himself a glass of whiskey, walked to the window and looked down, a blue sea, like a turquoise agate, strongly hit his eyeballs, from the air, the artificial earth island can be seen more clearly, which makes Zhong Shi can't find the words to describe this scenery in an instant.

"Great! Marvel! After a while, Zhong Shi struggled to burst out two words.

"A miracle indeed!"

Prince Faisal smiled slightly, Zhong Shi's reaction was not unexpected, and the other party's praise made him even more satisfied, "Can you imagine it?" Twenty years ago, it was nothing more than a barren land, but now it is one of the most developed regions in the whole world. ”

"You and your government are a great part of making this happen!"

Zhong Shi took a sip of wine, retracted his gaze and said lightly. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it only amazes him for a while, but these are dead things after all, and Zhong Shi can tell them very clearly.

"It's a pity that all this is in trouble, big trouble!"

Prince Faisal let out a long sigh. "Since the financial crisis in the United States, the relationship between supply and demand in the whole world has changed. People are no longer optimistic about everything that is being built here, and although nothing has happened yet, signs of divestment are becoming more and more apparent. And once the capital chain is broken, everything here is unimaginable. ”

Follow the direction of his finger. Zhong Shi squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, where a towering building, with its tower cranes still slowly turning, was clearly unfinished. This is the legendary 800-meter-tall tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa.

"See, if there is no funding, it will become the laughing stock of the whole world, the biggest unfinished building!"

Prince Faisal had a heart-wrenching look on his face. "Even though there is enough money so far, we can't guarantee anything. But I guess now that you're here, it's all no longer a problem! ”

"Me?"

Zhong Shi pointed to his nose and was dumbfounded, "You don't plan to involve me, do you?" With my net worth, I don't have the ability to participate in such a large-scale infrastructure construction! ”

"No, no. No, my friend. I have investigated you, and you have the qualifications and financial resources to participate in the construction of this place. Faisal repeatedly denied, "My friend, the best friend that Allah has sent to me, are you going to live up to this friendship appointed by the Prophet?" ”

"Appointed by the Prophet?"

Looking at the whiskey in Prince Faisal's hand, Zhong Shi said mockingly. "If I am not mistaken, the Qur'an forbids believers to drink alcohol, and now you are talking to me with a glass, is it against the oracle of your prophet? It's funny that you're doing something against the teachings yourself. And convince me of it? ”

"Hey, hey."

Faisal snorted twice and drank the wine in his hand before shaking his head helplessly and explaining, "Since you know everything, I won't hide it anymore." In fact, the so-called set of scriptures is only to deceive ordinary believers. For people like us, nothing in the scriptures is a guideline. Besides, who would really be naïve enough to believe what a book says thousands of years ago? ”

"Not necessarily!" Zhong Shi was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he retort weakly.

"Okay, okay, I'm not arguing with you on this issue, it's pointless, I know what I'm saying won't impress you." Prince Faisal does not intend to continue dwelling on this issue, "Those projects that have not been built, you can choose any one, one or more, as long as you like." We'll talk about the specific shares, but I can guarantee that you will be very satisfied. ”

"I said, I'm not interested!"

Zhong Shi was about to refuse again, but the next moment he remembered Gao Dongfang who was still waiting in another room, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart, "But I can introduce you to a gold master, the real gold master, although I don't know if he is interested, but I can guarantee that you must be interested in talking to him about financing." ”

"So what do you want?"

Prince Faisal's eyes were like torches, and he stared straight at Zhong Shi, "I am very interested in this proposal of yours, but for a person like you, I will never do anything unprofitable. Say, what do you want from me? ”

He could see it very clearly, and after just a little thought, he guessed Zhong Shi's intention. However, he may have to make this deal now, so he needs to listen to the other party's offer first.

"Two conditions, the first is to allow me to sell the oil fields on hand!" Zhong Shi said unhurriedly, "There is another condition, do not meddle in the affairs of the Porsche Group or the Volkswagen Group. ”

"You even know that?"

Prince Faisal's expression changed, and he pondered for a long time before he said slowly, "It seems that I really need to re-evaluate your energy. I can personally promise you these two conditions, but I still need to convince others that the problem will not be huge. Now, give what you can. ”

As the founder of the city, Prince Faisal had a huge influence when it came to the way the economy was spoken. What he said about "individuals can promise you" is basically equivalent to promising Zhongshi, but Zhongshi must give corresponding trading conditions.

"Huatou, I don't know if you've heard of it, Huaxia's sovereign fund!"

Seeing that the problem was solved so smoothly, Zhong Shi's face showed a knowing smile, "I came this time to follow their general manager." I think even if they're not interested in infrastructure in Jibai, you still have a lot to discuss, don't you? ”

Prince Faisal pondered for a moment, and a smile also appeared on his face, "Indeed, if he can represent the authorities, we do have a lot of places to discuss. The gentleman who came with you is the person in charge of Huatou that you are talking about? ”

"Yes!"

Zhong Shi walked towards the door, teasing as he went, "This is the friendship that Allah has sent to you, true friend!" (To be continued......)
