Chapter 54: Have you ever heard ABCD?

"What? Let me be in! No, it's impossible!! ”

In the palace of the Aqaba harbor, Abdullah II sat upright on a soft sofa and made his request to Chen Bo, otherwise the two of them would certainly not want to continue their relationship.

"Boy, I'll put up with you if you're not an Arab, but that's the most basic condition. It's just for you to make a show and go through a ghusl process. Abdullah said with a grim face.

"I am an atheist, I have never believed in fate, and I have a philosophical view of any form of religion." Chen Bo didn't back down, grabbed Haya's hand and said, "Anyway, we're already together, you want to break us up!" ”

"Haya, come on!"

"I ...... I don't think it matters if we join the religion or not, anyway, we are saints, so we need to care what others say? Haya naturally has a heart for Chen Bo, she has lived in the UK for many years since she was a child, and in the past two years, she has been led astray by unbelieving philosophies.

"Are you going to force me to use the family hadith?" Abdullah almost roared.

The Hadith is not simple, it is the interpretation of the Qur'an by the Prophet Muhammad, which is now the judicial interpretation of the Supreme Court. In the Islamic world, that's the Supreme Law, and it's up to you.

"If you really want to do this, then I will quit the sect, quit the family, and take back my princess title!" Haya was also anxious, and quarreled with Mai Mangdi, "Don't you just want me to marry Maktoum so that I can get investment from the UAE?" As we said last time, he had already agreed to invest in Jordan with Orange Telecom. ”

"It's all my own family, there's no need to quarrel about this matter, it's a shame to say it." Rania also arrived from Amman, and the red-faced singer had to be present to avoid a disappointment.

What do you think, Queen Alia's orphan, who is not married at the age of 31, and the face of the royal family is not good-looking. Add to that the influence of her and the queen among the commoners, if you are forced to leave the family. Yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, and if it wasn't, it had to be.

"Ahem, that uncle!"

"I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, who is the eldest brother?" Abdullah's face was already big, but now it was almost swollen.

"Your Majesty, King! Okay, right? ”

"Hmph."

Well, your small country's GDP is not as high as my company's market capitalization, what the hell? Chen Bo said in his heart. But at this time, you have to hold back if you are not convinced. People are under the eaves, and when it is time to bow their heads, they bow their heads.

"I've been in Jordan for a while, but I don't travel every day." Chen Bo started his performance, "Judging from the current environment, the law and order are not bad, and the secularization is better than that of other countries, but ......"

"But what?"

"It's not good enough, at least there are a lot of disadvantages. I will tell you a few details that I have seen, there are many female tourists who are harassed, but no one cares, and the police ignore them. It may be normal in your world, but in the international environment, it is very bad for you to develop the tourism industry. Secondly, the infrastructure is too poor, as the saying goes: if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Only with developed transportation can the effect of regional commerce and trade be brought into play, which is obviously unsatisfactory. In addition......"

Chen Bo deliberately sold it again, and his tone paused, just waiting to arouse Abdullah's curiosity.

"What else?"

"It's not that I'm racist, Arabs and Black Africa are really similar in their ability to develop business, and there are too many lazy people." Chen Bo pouted.

It's okay not to say this, but if you say it, you will beat them all to death with a stick.

"Boy, be careful when you speak. Our ancestors were famous Arab merchants who also promoted the integration of Eastern and Western civilizations. And how can those compare? ”

"I put the scarecrow at the node of the Silk Road, and it can also play a role, which is that history chose the Arabs, not the Arabs chose history." Chen Bo gave Frank a look, and then said, "Don't believe it, I have evidence, you know this, right?" ”

Immediately afterward, a simple sealed bag larger than a palm was placed on the table.

"Isn't this the mud of the Dead Sea? $3 a bag, tourist areas have it. Abdullah, of course, knows Jordanian specialty.

"Then look at this." As soon as Chen Bo's words ended, Frank then filled the table with a pile of exquisitely packaged bottles and cans. "This is a cosmetic product made by your neighbor Israel, and it is all a gimmick from the mud of the Dead Sea. Let's take a look at what the Jews do, a 25ml hand cream, ahava costs $30, Arad26's mask costs $45 a can, and JERICHO's facial cleanser set costs $98. The combined annual revenue of these three companies is 150 million US dollars, and the net profit is about 45 million US dollars, from source to sales to solve the employment problem of about 10,000 people. ”

"This ...... This ......" Abdullah's expression was a little embarrassed, and he was speechless for a while.

"Israel is less than one-quarter of the Dead Sea, and the other quarter is Palestine. And Jordan occupies half of it, but only a few small traders sell $3 a bag of Dead Sea mud to survive? This is the Tyranny! "Chen Bo doesn't show mercy to this uncle.

"It's the 21st century, and it's impossible to live long if you still have to rest on your laurels, and I also know your ambition for reform, no oil, no industry, and you can still do light processing and commerce. All development needs wisdom, and we Chinese people are never satisfied and do not believe in fate, so we will try our best to change. You've been there a few times, is it a big change every time? Why even Europe and the United States are beginning to learn Chinese, because they know that the future belongs to us, there are business opportunities, there are prospects to enrich themselves. ”

"You're right, the change is unbelievable." In the face of the facts, Abdullah could only bow his head in submission, but humbly said, "What about what you think?" ”

"To change the way education is conducted, the idea that you can get more by working more should be instilled from an early age, rather than getting something for nothing. Do more publicity for successful people, encourage business, and encourage small workshop economy. Improve the security infrastructure and create a better environment to attract foreign investment. ”

"Well, that's a hit on the head." Abdullah nodded, "I've always wanted to change the situation of theocracy, but I didn't have much success. ”

"Ideology is important, just do more propaganda. Isn't the union of the beautiful eldest princess and me a change, what Maktoum can give you, I will only give more. What he can't give, I can give. Chen Bo said confidently.

"What can you give?"

"Food, I know that Jordan has very little arable land and is very short of food, but I am not short of it."

"You? Huaxia is also a big country that imports grain, where do you get your confidence! Abdullah looked at him suspiciously.

"Ever heard of ABCD?"

"Isn't ABCD just ABCD?" This time, the question was asked about Haya, who had been paying attention to the changes in the situation, could it be that his brain was burned out and he didn't know the English alphabet?

He was talking about the four major grain merchants, which account for 80 percent of the global grain trade, including three in the United States, namely ADM, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus Company in France. "Jordan also buys food from them, and we don't have any bargaining power, so there is often a big difference between the price of food that leaves and what it imports," Abdullah explained. ”

"That's right, Monsanto, the four largest seed companies in the world, have pretty much manipulated the global grain trade. U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger once said that whoever controls oil controls all countries, and whoever controls food controls all mankind. I'm here to deal with the knife hanging over your heads. ”

"Why are you fighting against the four major grain merchants?"

"That's it." Chen Bo raised his hand, put the document in his hand, and then handed it to the eldest brother opposite. "I sent agricultural experts to Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique, which are more stable East African countries. There is not only a soil analysis, but also a full day of reports on development prospects. ”

"That means you can produce food?"

"Otherwise, these Africans don't know how to grow food at all. And stupid and lazy, wheat yields only 1 ton per hectare, and rice can yield 1.5 tons per hectare. It is completely dependent on the sky to eat, and the harvest is widespread. In our country, the soil is about 7 tons per hectare, and the rice can reach 9 tons.

It was really a waste of God's gift, and they still had to rely on charity to fill their stomachs. I have rented 5,000 acres of experimental plots from each of these countries for intensive cultivation. Moreover, the government department has done a good job, and as long as it works, it will lease 200,000 acres of cultivated land to me for free. ”

"You went from a tech company to a food grower? Isn't the span a bit big, can you manage it well? Abdullah remained skeptical.

"In terms of industrial capacity, China and the United States are two big countries that fight the whole world. When it comes to agricultural exports, these two countries are still fighting. Although we can't do the modern and mechanized farms like the United States, when it comes to farming, we have 900 million farmers, and that's not a problem at all. Chen Bo said meaningfully: "I am leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade, and I don't have to look at other people's faces for Jordan's food in the future." ”

"That's great!" Abdullah was pleased to hear the background in his mouth.

The Chinese are still very popular in Jordan, especially the low-cost Made in China, which makes Africa and the Middle East, which have no industrial base, very popular. Without him, the added value of industrial products in Europe and the United States is too high, and China is taking the strategy of dumping at low prices and taking the lower route, so Europe and the United States are widely criticized and can no longer happily plunder developing countries with industrial products.

"I came up with this idea when I saw the food aid proposal on Haya computer." Chen Bo gave the woman beside him a gentle look, "It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and it's better to teach them how to plant than to give food." Laziness can also become inertia! ”

"This is my mother's idea in her early years, I didn't expect it to be realized from you, this is not fortune-telling?" Haya grabbed his hand and snuggled up, her eyes full of tenderness and sweetness.

"Ahem, ahem!" Abdullah could only use a dry cough to remind him to pay attention to the occasion if he showed affection, "I don't care about your affairs, but Haya is also a princess of Jordan, and the development of the country cannot sit idly by." ”

"Yes, yes." Chen Bo nodded like a chicken eating rice, "I will increase investment, don't worry, uncle!" The first company was to develop Dead Sea mud cosmetics, and the queen and Haya were in charge, and wouldn't it be easy to open up the market with a beautifully packaged and high-end gift to the FΓΌhrer's wife during a state visit? ”
