After a night's rest, Chen Bo and Julio boarded the team again the next day, but this time they switched from Bentley to Mercedes-Benz G series off-road. Alwaleed is showing off his muscles with a trick, and if it were someone else's psychology, he might be very honored, but Chen Bo's was full of doubts, and he was even more eager to unveil the veil of mystery.

The convoy had not gone far through the city before it entered the yellow sand dunes, where the green vegetation gradually thinned out, and the windows of the car could be opened to break in the heat. Camels can be found everywhere, and occasionally a few running and jumping gazelles can be seen, a subgenus of antelopes that get their name from their large eyes. Because it is good at running and jumping, it is often used to describe high-growth small and medium-sized enterprises.

After two hours of trekking, we finally came to a place where the vegetation was still quite lush, and this was also compared to the bare sand dunes, at least at a glance, there were countless stalks and camel thorns.

In an open area, a cluster of tents and gold-trimmed stripes were set up, and the attendants were telling them that the prince's tent had arrived.

Unlike the Emirati, the Saudis are accustomed to wearing a red and white checkered turban, which is a nomadic tradition, and it is more than enough to spread it out as a bed sheet and can also be used as a tablecloth. Some countries, such as Iraq, have black and white plaid headscarves, and open Arab countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria can wear three-point hijabs without hijabs, which is a huge contrast between secularization and fundamentalism, which is really strangely tight.

Alwaleed's butler stood at the door of the tent, and when Chen Bo and Julio got out of the car, he came over and said politely, "The prince has specially ordered me to wait for you here, please come with me." ”

"Hmm." Chen Bo nodded, not caring about being turned to half of his numb buttocks, and followed the housekeeper into the camp.

Passing through a large group of ordinary tents, we came to the door of a large golden-domed tent guarded in the middle.

"Thank Allah, see who is coming? It is our young friend from far away China! Wrapped in a turban, wearing sunglasses, a short blouse of golden tulle and wide white trousers, this is another ethnic dress other than the white Arab robe, Alwaleed greeted him with open arms, as if he were a bard in the desert, but his expression was slightly pompous.

"Your Royal Highness, Prince Alwaleed, this is not a place for you to find, and this is the first time I have met with investors in this environment." Chen Bo accepted the other party's hug and veneer salute, and complained. This kind of etiquette is only popular among the men of the upper class, and it is a great defense between men and women, which is even more poisonous than the residual poison of Zhu Zilixue.

"So, it's a special occasion, isn't it?" Alwaleed smiled heartily, "This is my private domain, with thousands of shepherds, tens of thousands of camels and sheep, and I come here every year to make rounds. Accustomed to private yachts and planes, it's a different kind of experience here. ”

"Well, that's really new to me." Chen Boyan said insincerely, not only fresh but also very dry.

"Let's sit inside." Alwaleed let him into the tent, and around the wide woolen carpet stood several waitresses, the key being that they were dressed in white gauze dresses and loose-fitting headscarves, without covering their faces.

In the middle of the carpet, there was also a woman in her early 20s, with black curly hair draped over her shoulders, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a pink dress and a short skirt, completely Western-style, and a well-defined Arab beauty.

"This is Amira, my fourth wife." Alwaleed said proudly, "We just got married last month, you'll understand, right?" ”

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness, in our place this is called the newlywed Yan'er, and the love between husband and wife is really humane." Chen Bo first complimented, and then asked, "This seems to be a little different from my impression of Saudi Arabia." ”

"Amira, it's better for you to explain." Alwaleed laughed and walked upstairs to live with his little wife.

"The prince and I fell in love at first sight, and although I came from a middle-class family, I didn't change. Why should I let robes and face shields cover up my right to choose freely? I can only speak for a small group of Saudi women, and I will work for the rights of women in the future. "This Princess Amira is a very assertive woman.

"As you can see, I'm not a pure Saudi, and although I'm part of the royal family, I'm also the most deviant." Alwaleed casually took a glittering utensil, took a sip and said, "I can drink and have fun, why should I suppress my desires?" Conservatism is not my label, anyway, as we all know, the royal power has nothing to do with me! ”

As the grandson of the founding king, it is difficult to imagine such an idea under the strict hierarchy and even strict religious system of Saudi Arabia. Perhaps it was this attitude that made the royal family let him go freely, after all, he inherited his father's rebellion.

And this princess looks young, but it is not simple. Presumably, it is very likely that in the future, she will follow in the footsteps of Raniya and become a beautiful rose among Arab women.

"His Royal Highness the Prince and Princess are really temperamental, admire." Chen Bo gave a thumbs up.

"You should admire my ability to make money even more!" Alwaleed casually took a magazine and handed it to him, "This is the latest Forbes ranking, you can take a look." ”

Chen Bo opened his eyes and looked at it, ranking 14th in the world, with a net worth of 22 billion US dollars, isn't this very good. I can't find a single person surnamed Chen in the whole magazine?

"Forbes actually underestimated me by $5 billion, which should have been $27 billion!" Alwaleed was extremely angry at this time, "This is simply an insult to me! It's extremely unobjective, I'm going to the United States to sue them! ”

Alwalid's sudden anger made Chen Bo almost unresponsive, big brother, your thinking is quite jumpy? It's just a ranking. The Rockefeller family is only the head of the family, David, in an inconspicuous position, don't others know that they are richer?

Your Saudi family has gathered hundreds of billions of dollars in cash in the name of the royal family just by relying on oil, and it is not on the list, which does not mean that Saudi Arabia has no money.

This list is a gimmick, whoever believes it will be stupid, if it is really marked according to the actual situation, I don't know how many hidden families will jump out, then Forbes magazine should not be engaged, just close it.

But after thinking about it, this approach and Alwalid's personality to the outside world are very much in line with his personality, and it is hard to ensure that it is not deliberately made in front of him.

"Well, I support your complaint, these media people have never been objective and fair." Before Chen Bo understood his true intentions, he casually echoed perfunctory.

"You're right, leave these little things to the lawyer." Alwaleed then added, "You don't have to think about anything these days, just enjoy the desert atmosphere, but you don't usually experience it." ”

The prince returned to normal, arranging for the waiters to serve delicious food and wine, as well as all kinds of delicacies and fruits, and even brought in a group of Arab girls to belly dance. made Chen Bo and Julio look at each other, is this sure that it is not crossing? This kind of dance, which the Persians are best at, is staged in the most conservative Saudi hinterland, which really feels like a time and space is out of order.

It's just that Alwaleed didn't say much more, and for a few days they just arranged them properly, eating what they should eat, playing and sleeping. Originally, there was a sexy Arab girl, but he pushed out of the tent so that she wouldn't be able to wash it off if she jumped into the Persian Gulf.

During this period, the herders also changed places, and Alwalid never talked about any formal topics other than raising them as pigs. Chen Bo was not in a hurry, nor did he take the initiative to ask, he was here to travel and vacation, except for no pork to eat, the other conditions were not bad.

"Maktoum is so generous, this is your suggestion, right?" On the fourth day of his tent, Alwaleed approached him, with a copy of the Gulf newspaper in his hand.

It says that the Sheikh of Dubai announced to the world that undergraduate graduates working in Dubai will receive a government bonus of $2,000 per month, a master's degree student will receive a monthly bonus of $3,500, and a doctoral student will receive $5,000 to $10,000.

The goal is to focus on professional fields such as computer science and finance, and of course it is necessary to have academic education recognized by countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. In this way, an average undergraduate student can get an additional $24,000 a year in government incentives in addition to the salary he should have received.

And Dubai will build a number of high-end apartments for these talents to live in, and the direct budget of this package is close to billions of dollars, which is really a big ambition for Maktoum. The planning and construction of the Science and Technology City and the introduction of talents are absolutely attractive to powerful foreign-funded enterprises, although the naturalization policy has not been relaxed, but there will be brave men under this heavy reward, which will definitely bring different repercussions to the development of Dubai.

"Yes, the Science and Technology City is not a castle in the air, after having a house and land, there must be someone to develop." Chen Bo had nothing to deny, and said bluntly.

"What do you want?" Alwalid's tone became serious and solemn, and his piercing eyes seemed to want to see through his heart. "Do you want the Middle East to be part of your tech empire?"

"Then what is His Royal Highness up to?!" Chen Bo was unmoved, and asked rhetorically in the face of his gaze, and the air in the tent instantly became tense.

"Of course I want to make money, hehe." Alwaleed only lasted a few seconds before he relented, "Don't forget that I'm Warren Buffett in the Middle East." ”

"Heck, I want to make money too, but our goals may not be the same." Chen Bo's heart suddenly brightened, he already had a plan, and then he cooperated with the prince to play a dumb riddle.
