Chapter 198: The heavy sword has no edge

Not only that, Chen Bo also received two sea view villas on Palm Jumeirah, and the backyard is a private beach in the Persian Gulf. The value is about 1.4 million US dollars, which has tripled compared with the previous year, when it was first launched, and although it is an off-plan property, it has attracted many celebrities.

Heartthrob Beckham, British golden boy Michael Owen, and even German car king Schumacher, Hollywood video Brad Pitt, etc., have all bought a house, and they will happily move in after a few years of completion.

However, Chen Bo directly sent one to Julio, and the other to Alyssa, although this female assistant with the identity of an agent always choked him, but during this time he honestly started working as a supervisor in Dubai, and his performance was still very good.

He didn't forget to warn them that if they doubled it again, they would sell it, it was all stuff filled with sea sand, but it couldn't withstand the erosion of salt water, and sooner or later it would have to be finished.

The progress of the science and technology city and the data center is going well, and the Middle East gateway Gulf Network and B2C e-commerce channel are also being planned to be launched.

Chen Bo spent the rest of his time with Gao Yuanyuan and Zhou Xun who flew from China, and the Dubai Tourism Bureau gave all the money, so he was embarrassed not to help.

Anyway, this itinerary is to eat, drink and have fun, and it's all free, after all the commercials are filmed. Except for Zhou Xun who was going to fly back to China to rush to the next crew, the others went to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

From the Emirate of Dubai to the Emirate of Sharjah there is only a bridge separating the two urban areas, and the distance from Dubai to Abu Dhabi to the north is only about 20 kilometers, and the distance between the seven emirates is really close, all along the southern shore of the Persian Gulf.

After walking a short distance, when you see more green on both sides of the road, you know that you have entered the boundaries of Abu Dhabi, and the cost of planting a palm tree to survive is about 3,000 US dollars, and only the real oil rich can afford such a huge amount of money.

Compared to the two cities, one is a bustling cosmopolitan city, and the other is much quieter and quieter.

Abu Dhabi's coastline is not as smooth as Dubai's, but more tortuous and has more islands, just like the city centre is built on a jutting peninsula.

"Welcome to Abu Dhabi, distinguished guests from afar."

As the Rolls-Royce team rolled into the Grand Palace Hotel, Mansour, who had been informed in advance, was already greeted at the door, and he had changed into a traditional turban and robe compared to the previous suit.

"Your Highness's complexion is good, could it be that something good is coming?" A courtesy hug, introduced the entourage again, and entered the hotel lobby to sit down and wait for the free time for the entourage to check in, Chen Bo quipped.

"You can see this, I just signed a marriage contract with my beloved Princess Manar, and the wedding will be officially held next year, so I must come to watch the ceremony if I have time." Mansour grinned happily.

"Princess Manal? Which royalty. Chen Bo couldn't help but be curious, the UAE alone has 7 royal families, plus the surrounding Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Jordan, etc. Except for Yemen, which has a presidential system, the others seem to be all monarchies. Syria and Lebanon, two non-peninsular countries with two religions, are certainly not counted.

"Of course, the Dubai royal family, the eldest daughter of His Royal Highness Al Maktoum, is also a painter." Mansour said proudly.

"I see, it's really the right match, then congratulations in advance, and I will definitely prepare a big congratulatory gift for you at that time." Chen Bo complimented.

Middle Eastern royalty likes to marry close relatives, cousins and cousins are normal, although Abu Dhabi and Dubai are not close relatives, but they are the two strongest tribes in the UAE, the eldest and the second.

Chen Bo deliberately checked the information of the Abu Dhabi royal family, and the appearance and the Dubai royal family are not at the same level at all, giving people a more arrogant feeling, although I have not seen this princess Manal, she must also be a beauty, look at her father's age is quite handsome, Mansur is deliberately changing the genes of the next generation.

After chatting for a while, he learned that this would be his second wife, and Maktoum admired Mansour very much, and the two had a close personal relationship. It's no wonder that he took the initiative to find him to help plan, it seems that it was the crown prince's suggestion.

After a lively exchange of pleasantries, Mansour told them to rest and familiarize themselves with Abu Dhabi before arranging other itineraries and conversations.

If Dubai's Burj Al Arab is the only seven-star hotel, it is the best eight-star hotel.

As the name suggests, the hotel is a former Abu Dhabi palace that has been converted just across the street from the UAE Presidential Palace. It was built in '99 for the head of the Gulf Cooperation Council to come to Abu Dhabi for a meeting.

Stretching for a kilometre from the main building to the outbuildings, it showcases the magnificence unique to Arab civilization. The dome is a unique symbol of Arab architecture, and the average building consists of a large dome and several smaller domes. The Palace Hotel has a staggering 114 domes, all of which are made of mosaics, which is particularly magnificent and majestic.

The largest of these domes can reach a diameter of 42 meters, is silver-plated and decorated with gold at the top. The exterior walls of the hotel are made of sand-grained materials, revealing the colors of the desert of the Middle East, giving this magnificent building a rich Arabian feel.

The entrance to the hotel is a 40-metre-high triumphal arch made of Italian stone. A ramp of several hundred meters leads to the lobby of the hotel, where the interior is equally impressive.

The 1,002 Swarovski crystal chandeliers hanging from the top are dazzling and dazzling. In addition to the finest marbles and mosaics, as well as the priceless oil paintings, even the signs are glittering with gold, making this hotel a mythical "Golden Palace".

The Presidential Suites are reserved only for the sheikhs, and each suite can reach nearly 1,000 square meters of privacy.

The palace suite where Chen Bo lives is located on the sixth floor has only 16 rooms, each of which also has about 800 square meters, all service staff are on standby, and even the computers in the room have been set up in advance for the Chinese system, which is quite careful and intimate.

Unlike the "arrogance" of the Burj Al Arab, it is quite close to the people. Despite the luxury, any visitor can enter the lobby to visit, while in Dubai you must have a telephone reservation to enter.

A mile-long stretch of private beach is the perfect place to play. Riding camels, releasing falcons, and doing a full-body SPA is also very pleasant.

"Chen, what do you think of this area? The Sheikh has approved my plan to build a brand new Emirates University Abu Dhabi in the middle of this 3,000-acre sandbar! Mansour took him to a peninsula connected to the land by the sea, surrounded by a lagoon left by the high tide of the Persian Gulf.

"The sea and the sky are colorful, and the scenery is good." Chen Bo couldn't help but nod and praised, typhoon weather is only found in Southeast Asia and the Gulf of Mexico, there has never been extremely bad weather in the Middle East waters, and there is basically no need to guard against natural disasters from the sea, this place is naturally excellent, and the place is enough.

"I've solved the land and funds, and you can't sit idly by and watch the rest of the teachers." Mansour said at this time.

"Me? Do you really think of me as a god? Chen Bo couldn't help laughing, and pointed to Nicholas on the side, "I really can't do it, it doesn't mean that he can't, I will officially introduce you, Nicholas Rockefeller!" ”

"Rockefeller!" Mansour was surprised.

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince." Nicholas smiled and nodded. "I can help coordinate the resources of the University of Chicago and Rockefeller University, but of course the specific issues need to be discussed in detail between His Highness and the two universities."

Abu Dhabi made its fortune on oil, so how could it not be that the energy giants that occupy half of the oil sisters.

Standard Oil, founded by Rockefeller Sr., was divided into three, later known as Exxon, Mobil and Chevron, and had a direct economic interest in the Middle East, as was inextricably linked. It's just that the Rockefeller family is now not directly involved in daily operations, but retreats to the background to control and manage, which is needless to say.

Energy giants are only one aspect, in the American education community, the University of Chicago and Rockefeller University are both family-founded, Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prize is innumerable, although compared with the Ivy League, but compared with the Middle East's educational resources are already very different.

"Since I have Mr. Nicholas to help, then I am relieved." Mansur was not a man who had never seen the world, and on the surface he was only a little surprised, and he regained the bearing of a prince.

When it comes to remuneration and benefits, these are things that are both beautiful and unimpressive.

Are they all passionate philanthropists? Of course, this is not the case, at this level, it is far from the petty profit in front of me, and helping is just a bait. Chen Bo and Nicholas certainly don't covet Abu Dhabi's oil resources, and they have little interest in the already established energy industry.

But they are tempted by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority's hundreds of billions of dollars in sovereign funds.

With a gesture, you can form this good relationship with the royal family, and if you need anything in the future, the other party will return the favor, which is enough.

The world of capital is playing with capital, even if Chen Bo's two funds are now more than 10 billion US dollars, and he and Nicholas's private small treasury also has more than 3 billion idle funds, but compared with these giant funds that often exceed 100 billion US dollars, they are not even comparable to a hair.

To seize a loophole and pick up the wool of individual companies, you also need to take advantage of the situation, and then invite all the people to dare to do it. However, these capital giants can influence the wind direction of the global capital market with a raise of their hands, which is called the heavy sword without a blade, the great ingenuity, and the power of capital crushes everything.

This goes beyond simple business.
