Chapter Forty-Nine: Innate Skills
., the fastest update of the latest chapter of the rise of the prosperous world of rebirth!
Abu and Mansur don't have much friendship, Chen Bo introduced him, and the two know each other.
Both of them are among the local tyrants, but they are not the same. One is a low-key and pragmatic rich second generation, who is not only rich but also has some power. One is a high-profile rich generation, so poor that only money remains. Of course, rich people are taboo to talk about each other, and there are not too many digressions, and the wedding ceremony is also wanted, but Abu is more concerned about going to Dubai to go shopping.
The group stayed at the Palace Hotel under Mansour's arrangement, and after a short rest, they appeared at Mansour's wedding scene the next day.
Although he was also one of the most powerful princes in Abu Dhabi, the ceremony was not much different from a Western-style wedding, and after Haya's explanation, he learned that except for those fundamentalist countries, the secular places are not much different from the former suzerain, Britain.
The same is true for weddings, where the two marry after the faculty members chant blessings, and then have a feast with only light fruit wine.
Except for the subtleties, there is not much difference between it and the domestic one, the same is the hotel, the same is the same process.
It's just a little embarrassing that Mansour has arranged for him and Haya to have that old and unscrupulous one.
"Long time no see, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Chen Bo said stiffly.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, and goodbye is a thing!" Maktoum sighed, "Princess Haya is still so charming, although I have a good impression of the princess, but you are obviously more suitable, what a match." ”
"I wish Your Highness another good marriage." Haya is generous and authentic.
Maktoum has no shortage of women, in addition to the main room, there are several in the outer room alone, German, French, Greek, etc., a total of more than ten princes and princesses have been born to him. So even if you can't pursue Haya, you won't be angry, if you change to a monogamous country, you would have flipped the table on the spot.
Married to Mansour today is his eldest daughter Manal, born to an untitled outer chamber, not only a painter who is proficient in art, but also a stunning beauty, who looks very much like Audrey Hepburn when she was young.
In terms of appearance, the Dubai royal family is definitely more than eighteen streets in Abu Dhabi, and the Al Nahyan family who attended, from the chief to the family member Chen Bo, have seen it all over, and all of them do not match the handsome word, and can only be described as 'can still be seen'.
And the two little princes Rashid and Hamdan brought by Maktoum, not to mention shining in the UAE, can attract countless fans all over the world. For this reason, Chen Bo specially recommended Facebook to them at the dinner table, and lured them to open an account and upload photos.
Come on, Sao Nian! Let the people of the world see your wayward tyrant life, so it will not be in vain for me to invest in Facebook.
"Help me get all these things to Socotra." The day after the wedding, Chen Bo threw a list to Mansour. "My plane isn't here, and it's not very convenient."
"Wow, medical equipment, test equipment, medicines. And meat, canned food, grain, and backup generators? What are you doing here? Mansour looked at the list of items and was amazed.
"Ahem, passing by the debt owed over there."
"I'm afraid it's not a love debt, right?" Mansour teased with a laugh.
"Where do you get so many love debts, there is our country's aid medical team on the island, and I see that they are very difficult, so I helped some."
"Oh, I see. How can there be no vegetables? You can't just have meat. Mansour asked after a closer look.
"Rest assured, our Chinese natural skill is to grow vegetables, even if we go to outer space, there will be no shortage of fresh vegetables to eat, food and meat are enough." Chen Bo said confidently that although he did not go to the medical team's station due to time constraints, he knew without thinking about it that they would definitely bring vegetable seeds from China to pass the boring time.
"And you, too?" Mansour asked, staring at him suspiciously.
"Nonsense, I'm a farmer, and I can not only grow vegetables, but also grow them in a fancy way. Even if you don't have land, you can make a dish! Chen Bo stinked and said, "We are the continuation of agricultural civilization, in ancient times, even the emperor's family had to worship heaven and earth, and personally farmed to show their awe of the land, and there was nothing surprising about the different cultures." ”
Of course, Mansour did not understand that a few decades ago they were herders and fishermen, and how could they know the splendor of agricultural civilization.
"I'll take this, if you can't pay it back in the future, come here and grow vegetables for me." Mansour teased, grinning.
"Fuck your uncle, don't curse me." Chen Bo didn't have a good airway, although he didn't know who his uncle was, it was certain that his uncle had already turned into dry bones. "I'll tell you seriously, is there a way out of Yemen?"
"Yemen? What do you think! Mansur sat up straight, wary.
It is the only democracy in the Arabian Peninsula, and the rest is either a constitutional monarchy or an absolute monarchy, which is out of place, and the instability is a headache for neighboring countries and the Arab League.
"I want to buy an island to play with."
"It can't be this Socotra, right?" Mansour said with a frown.
"Yes, that's it. Questions? ”
"If you buy an island in Abu Dhabi, I can still help, but I really can't help Yemen." Mansour shook his head and said, "First of all, the regime is different, don't look at it as a democratic republic, but in fact there are more than 400 tribes, large and small, and the influence of the national parliament is not as powerful as the tribal chiefs, and it is an extremely conservative country. ”
"According to you, it doesn't work to go up the upper route?"
"Although I don't know what you're going to do with such a broken island, you still need to have the official documents, and then you can get the tribal leaders on the island. You can try Alwaleed, whose uncle Muqrin is Yemeni in his mother. Moreover, the current situation in Yemen is what the Saudi family wants to see, and I will not say why, Muqrin has the trust of the current king Abdullah as the minister of intelligence, and it is half the battle to say that he can move him. ”
"Oh?"
"Yemeni President Saleh is not a good bird, an insatiable dog." Mansour rarely exploded with a look of disgust, which shows that this powerful man who has ruled Yemen for many years is not well received by the peninsula's elites.
"Then I'll rest assured, since he can be greedy, I'll give it away."
"But remember, don't get involved in Yemen's internal affairs. It's not just politics but also religion, and all the forces are competing there, otherwise no one will be able to protect you. Mansour admonished earnestly.
"Rest assured, I've never been a fan of politics. I'm just an ordinary businessman, but I just want to earn more inheritance for my family. This turmoil has made me feel powerless, and politics is not something that people like me can afford. ”
"It's okay to learn a little lesson, not to mention you. Just like us, a small country like the UAE has to follow in the footsteps of Saudi Arabia, which has no choice. Mansour sighed and said, "For my friend's sake, I'll help you prepare a copy of Yemen's information, which you may be useful for then." ”
"Thank you then."
"I'm afraid that you won't pay off your debts, which are tens of billions of dollars." Mansour laughed, "But I heard you're secretly buying a Premier League club?" ”
“…… How do you know? ”
"I have connections in the UK, you can hide it from the club owners, but you can't hide it from me." Mansour looked smug, "Take me a copy?" Since you have made a move, it must not be without any reason. ”
"You're right, but for no reason. I'm a die-hard fan, I'm familiar with Manchester City, at least there's the only overseas player in our national team. ”
"Less nonsense, I'll ask if you want to take me to play?"
"I'm seven, you're three!"
"Deal, I'll give you 200 million pounds, you can use it as you like, it's not enough to talk about it."
“…… Enough, enough! Chen Bo was quite embarrassed, and the local tyrant knew if there was one as soon as he made a move, and 200 million pounds could buy three such teams.
"If I don't have a sponsorship, I can help. There are many royals in the UAE who love football and will not be stingy. ”
"Discuss again, discuss again." Chen Bo thought that you, the two shareholders, are going to turn the sky upside down, Lao Tzu has planned how to spend this money, but it can't disrupt the rhythm. It's the first time I've seen people competing for money, and it's really strange. "Let's put this aside for now, but there's something you have to contribute."
"You say!"
"Now that Orange has been successfully acquired, do you have to help with the Middle East market?"
"Uh...... Saudi Arabia, you can talk to Alwaleed, and the only people I can help are Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman. ”
"Okay, if I have you, I can enter boldly with confidence." Chen Bo said happily, they are all rich countries, what else is not satisfied?
As for the local giants Etisalat and Dubai Telecom, this is really not a problem, Orange provides mobile communication services, and does not involve traditional services such as broadband and fixed-line lines, and there is no direct conflict between the two sides.
During Chen Bo's sea travels, Nicholas took Wall Street financial speculators by storm with France Telecom, once suppressing the stock price of only 0.25 euros, forcing them to temporarily suspend trading.
Shirley took the opportunity to increase the price, and it was all paid in cash, and the total amount of the acquisition has reached 33 billion euros, and at the behest of Chirac and Sarkozy, and the Minister of Industry Brighton no longer insisted, France Telecom finally agreed to the proposal and submitted the detailed plan to the European Commission as soon as possible.
And Vodafone returned with a feather, and Three Telecom Group just took the opportunity to gain popularity, and Chen Bo finally completed an important part of the future plan. It is worth noting that orange's acquisition of its own satellite communications company Vsat after being acquired by France Telecom has also become a windfall in this acquisition.
Since orange has been pinched in the palm of the hand, then the next step is to strike while the iron is hot and rapid expansion, the Middle East and Southeast Asia will become the first choice, and the development plan of the African continent will also be on the agenda, although it cannot be like mobile, Unicom to make money lying down, but can use influence to control the lifeblood of small countries.
