"The Great Wall, the history is too long, three days and three nights may not be finished, this is the product of the collision between the nomadic and the farming people, if you have the opportunity to go to China to see it for yourself, feel the feeling of the reckless dragon standing on the mountain. We have a saying: If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero! ”

"Oh? Why? "Maktoum is also interested, because he translates that TMD is not a hero if he doesn't get to the Great Wall, isn't my dignified tyrant still a hero?

"Because it is a military fortress after all, the pass of the Great Wall is steep, and it was very difficult to climb it before. This is a metaphor for overcoming difficulties and climbing bravely. Chen Bo had no choice but to explain, he couldn't directly say that it was Taizu and his old man who said it.

"Then I'm going to have to check it out." "I have to go to prove that I'm a real hero." ”

It's really not convenient for him to go to his current status, he is not only the crown prince of Dubai, but also the defense minister of the United Arab Emirates, although there is no. Rich and capricious countries are all mercenaries except for advanced weapons, not to mention the more tyrannical Saudi Arabia, all of them are rich and noble old soldiers, and they will be killed and pulled down when they fight, otherwise how can these huge rich oil countries be pressed to the ground by Israel and rubbed against them......

"08 is the Yanjing Olympic Games, the Great Wall is 40 kilometers away on the mountain, when the time comes, I will personally receive you, take you to appreciate the style of the Great Wall, taste the authentic Chinese food." Ant Search and Lenovo are talking to the Olympic Organizing Committee about the sponsorship of '08, and they will soon be able to reach an agreement, and it is not a trivial matter for him to receive him at the door of his home as a serious Chinese.

"We've got an Olympian here!" Lania glanced at her sister-in-law, Princess Haya.

"Yes, yes. Haya was an equestrian at the Sydney 2000 Olympics and the first female athlete in the Arab world and the first female flag bearer at the Olympics! "Haya is not only the only woman in Jordan with a heavy truck license, but she also graduated from Oxford University. ”

"I just hope that all Arab women are free to choose the life they want like me, and that there will be more athletes like me in the future." Haya was a little embarrassed by his praise, so he had to say so.

Oops, I'll go! This is also a bit of an open hanging! I can't believe that this is the Arab world, where there are so many barriers, and it is not easy for a woman to achieve such an achievement.

"I don't know much about equestrianism, but I know that Arabia has been rich in good horses since ancient times." Equestrianism is an aristocratic sport in Europe and the United States, quite expensive, a horse is much more expensive than a sports car, but the Arabian horse and the sweat BMW are equally famous, are the most expensive horse breeds, but I didn't expect this princess to be not only a female flag bearer, but also a female rider.

"Yes, the Arabian horse is the oldest and most precious horse breed in the world, and it is closely related to our Arab life, and when I was six years old, my father gave me a foal, and I fell in love with the sport of equestrianism." "But I also like tennis, football and other sports, and as long as the Jordan team plays, I will definitely be there." ”

"We can finally find some common ground, Ant Search has sponsored this year's Asian Cup, European Championship and World Cup. If I'm not mistaken, Jordan and the UAE are in the same group this year, in the state of Qizhou, in the province of Lu, which is my hometown. ”

"Then I don't have to wait until '08." Haya was looking forward to it.

The two of them talked as if no one was around, which made Maktoum feel that if he continued to talk, he would be tantamount to making a wedding dress for someone else, so he quickly interjected and changed the topic. And Chen Bo also whispered to Ivanka beside him, I'll accompany you when I wait for the US Open.

Maktoum's mind is obvious, and he will flatter Haya vigorously for the rest of the period, while the second princess of Jordan is lightweight, easy to resist, very square, neither too ambiguous, nor embarrassing the crown prince.

In the remaining few days in Dubai, Chen Bo continued to communicate with the architectural design firm about various details, striving to achieve better planning of the Science and Technology City project, and the negotiation team represented by Feng Cheng has also reached a consensus with Dubai World Group on all the details of cooperation.

The signing of the contract is naturally logical, and Maktoum even held a press conference for this purpose, eager to announce to the world that Lao Tzu has hired a great helper, but this amazing helper is already on the plane to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

In view of the particularity of Saudi society, Ivanka did not choose to go with her, and Trupp made some moths that made her unhappy in the distant United States, plus Wharton's graduation thesis had to be prepared and defended, and there were always many things to be busy during the graduation season, so she chose to go home directly.

Alyssa, the female secretary who appears from time to time, stayed in Dubai, using the connections behind her to contact domestic construction units to try to finalize the details as soon as possible and speed up the process.

Saudi Arabia is the largest country on the Arabian Peninsula and the last absolute monarchy in the world, and Saudi Arabia is the family name that rules the land. In 1921, the Anglophile Ibn Saud defeated the Rashid family, which was backed by the Ottoman Empire, completed reunification, and established a state independent from the British colony in 1932.

The coast of the Persian Gulf is home to the largest oil reserves, and Saudi Arabia occupies the best piece.

The old king married more than 30 wives and gave birth to countless children and grandchildren. Moreover, the system of succession to the throne of the elder brother and the younger brother, so that in addition to him, until now King Fahd is still the second generation, as long as he is a member of the royal family, he is a prince, which has caused the whole country to have more than 5,000 princes and hundreds of princes. The monthly distribution of money to these princes alone is as high as $2 billion.

And Alwalid, the prince who could not obtain the right to inherit, was quite high, he was the third generation of Ibn Saud. Because his father was more rebellious and married the daughter of the first prime minister of Lebanon despite the opposition of the royal family, coupled with the imperial struggle and forced exile, he also lost the right to inheritance.

From here, it seems that this prince is destined to inherit the gene of rebellion, although he has long returned to the upper class of Saudi society, but he can only obtain the oil and silver of the royal family. Through personal efforts, he did not rely on oil and did not fight for his father, but he also won the reputation of "Buffett in the Middle East".

As for exactly how much gold there is, it will soon be revealed.

Riyadh, the capital, is located in the middle of the peninsula and is not near the sea, and about an hour or so from Dubai, Chen Bo was on board to make up some basic information about Saudi Arabia with Julio.

After getting off the plane, a team of Bentley cars came to greet them, in addition to Chen Bo and Julio, there were two accompanying bodyguards. Just to greet the four of them, more than a dozen Bentleys were dispatched, and if a small red flower was hung on the front of the car, they could drive to greet their relatives.

Through the car window, you can enjoy this capital located in the hinterland of Saudi Arabia, and the modern city of Dubai is a completely different style, revealing a strong desert style, and obviously the history of the city is longer, but the buildings are basically yellow, plus the surrounding desert, is there no aesthetic fatigue?

Although there are many large shopping malls on the street, they are full of all kinds of black robes, some even wear gloves, and even the eyes can only see the world through the tulle.

The convoy drove into the city center, and the Four Seasons Hotel in the Kingdom Center was where the prince had arranged to stay, and he used to think that the shape of the beer driver in the Global Center was enough, but now he saw that the building looked like a chunky version, and it was almost the same.

Fortunately, Universal has been included in his pocket, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past, the ancient art aesthetics in the Arab region are not bad, how did it develop to modern times and change the style of painting? The strange building is just to tell others that he is a local tyrant, is he capricious?

"Mr. Chen, take a break, tomorrow I will pick you up and go to His Royal Highness's Territory Ranch, if you have any questions, you can contact me at any time." The white-robed man with a mustache was sent by Alwaleed to receive him, and he escorted them into a luxurious suite at the Four Seasons Hotel before leaving.

Even the Four Seasons Hotel, a global chain, has a local Arabian twist on the locals, and although it is much smaller than the Burj Al Arab, it is still very comfortable. It's just that this suite was clearly renovated in advance, and there are several portraits of Alwaleed hanging on the walls of the living room, not only magazine covers, but also photos with world celebrities. The most eye-catching thing is the photo with Michael Jackson, but what Chen Bo saw was that one of them was with the leaders of the Chinese state, and it is unknown whether it was P.

"Look, what am I talking about, this prince is very inferior." Julio looked through the magazines in the room, and most of them were about the Kingdom Holding Company and his introductions, all of which showed his achievements.

"Although Maktoum is also a great achievement, it seems that it has not yet developed to the realm of boasting, do you think this is a common problem of Arabs or an inferiority complex derived from the oil base?" Chen Bo touched the short beard that rose from his chin and wondered. "It is said that he is a prince, and he is already an excellent packaging material if he does not make a fortune from oil, so why do he take the initiative to sell himself and boast? And he is also highly educated in the United States, is he really so stupid? ”

"And what do you mean?" Julio couldn't help but think about it at this time.

If he was so stupid, he would never have developed Kingdom Holdings to the point where it is today, and if you look at the companies he invests in, you can see that it is still very discerning, but it has certain limitations. Either it's a character flaw, or it's deliberately playing dumb. Chen Bo thought about it and said.

"Deliberately playing stupid? So what is he trying to do. ”

"Then I don't know, maybe this will make people think that he has no ambition, just to make a little money. Taking the initiative to show weakness is also a protective mechanism, and it is not impossible. Think about the environment in which he grew up. Chen Bo didn't know if this assumption was true, but if it was true, then this person could be said to be wise and foolish.

"Well, Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy, and although the struggle for power is not as fierce as the ancient royal family, it is still a topic of secrecy internally, which is not impossible." Julio nodded, expressing some approval of this view.
