A special plane flew non-stop from Shangdu to Dubai and successfully arrived on August 20.

In Dubai in August, the sun burns all over the ground. This time, Jingping was dispatched to the field investigation, because he is relatively most familiar with this side of the business, Ye Hua appointed him as the first person to develop water affairs in the Middle East, Jingping also knew that the establishment of the coastline water conservancy service company was imminent, and he may be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Ye Hua and taken over the company's international water conservancy service business.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, out of the terminal, Jingping took a special car to the business office of the Coastline Company in Dubai, and the car drove on the main road, named after the former president of the United Arab Emirates, Saeed Road.

As far as the eye can see, there are skyscrapers that are more than one after another, and along with them, there are also green spaces and Fusu flowers and trees.

Beside the road, you can also see artificial lakes, artificial canals, waterfalls and other water-based landscaping.

No wonder Dubai's water consumption is still higher than that of the United States, obviously a city-state in the desert, extremely short of water, but this scene in front of Jingping does not feel like a desert city at all.

I can only sigh that the local tyrant is rich, and being rich is capricious, and he can do whatever he wants.

A huge roadside board with a photo of Dubai's current Sheikh Mohammed bears one of his most important words of encouragement to the citizens:

"Dreams have no limits, keep moving forward"

It is indeed necessary to keep moving forward, because if you go straight from the city center along this main road, you will still be a rolling loess, and the vast barren land as far as the eye can see, although you can occasionally see a few camels walking slowly, it is already the largest construction site in the world.

According to statistics, Dubai currently owns 25% of the world's high-rise cranes.

The construction sites fenced off are unimaginably large, and looking at the billboard advertisements on the roadside shows how ambitious the city is:

Business Bay, the region's largest commercial capital, will rise here.

A new central point of the world – The Dubai Mall.

History is being made.

And all this requires the holographic technology brought by the Shoreline Company to embellish the city into a real science fiction capital, and the cheap and massive freshwater resources brought by the Shoreline Company to carry the city's ambition of substantial expansion.

Almost every construction project can be crowned "the largest in the world" or "the largest in the region".

The total amount of construction or investment currently being carried out in Dubai is more than $1 trillion, and according to the World Bank, the reconstruction fund for the whole of Iraq is only $53 billion, which is only a little more than 5% of Dubai.

Shoreline has created an opportunity for Dubai to transform itself into a world of opportunities: to turn the rolling loess into artificial lakes, canals, waterfalls, which require water, lots of water, cheap water.

And all this will also bring great business opportunities for shoreline companies, as well as business opportunities for opportunists around the world.

Half an hour later, Rahman, president of Dubai's Chamber of Commerce and Industry, personally received Jingping, who had just arrived, without the slightest slack, and even prepared a high-level reception banquet for him.

"Mr. Rahman, I'm curious why Dubai likes to be the best in the world for everything?" When Jingping met and shook hands with him, he said politely with a smile in English.

"Like you, many people have asked us that. Because no one will remember who is second place, like a race, only the winner will be remembered forever, so we have to be number one. Rahman said calmly and confidently, but his eyes showed a strong sense of intent and boldness.

After a while, Rahman added with a smile: "We firmly believe that with your company's help, Dubai City will become the most important place on the planet in the future." ”

"It has to be." Jing Ping smiled slightly.

This visit was mainly for field trips, and Jingping was also warmly welcomed at the luncheon, especially when he learned that he would be the person in charge of Coastline Company's international water affairs in the Middle East in the future, for example, he would have to deal with him frequently, so he was even more enthusiastic.

Jingping is also an energetic person, after getting off the plane, he didn't plan to rest for a day and then do business, after the luncheon, he was in Dubai City that day.

The main purpose of the visit was to establish the location of the Shoreline Company's desalination plant and the future extension route, which would not have been possible without a site visit, and more than 50% of the city's freshwater resources in the future will be provided by Shoreline's international water operators.

Dubai is the first foothold of the international water operation of the coastline company, not only to build a huge desalination water plant, water plant, but also to build a chemical plant, water pumped from the Arabian Gulf (Persian Gulf), desalination of seawater supply to Dubai, at the same time, the basic raw materials of various chemical industries separated after desalination also have huge commercial value, such as the development of industrial salt, edible salt and so on.

At this time, the acquisition of Shin-Etsu Chemical can play an active role, which can accelerate the commercial development of the shoreline company.

Shoreline Company is not only an IT giant, Ye Hua sells clothes, water, and chemical raw material suppliers.

Jingping wanted to investigate, and Rahman turned down his original work arrangement to be his guide himself, because nothing was more important than that.

In the evening, finally getting rid of the roasting heat of the day, Jingping and Rahman's expedition group walked to the canal in the center of the city, where the sunset was reflected on the leisurely water, and the ships full of ships, both large ships and old wooden boats with groceries, were still busy in and out of the nearby Gulf countries as they had been decades ago.

Tourists also get on wooden boats and start a canal tour.

Soon after, Rahman led Jingping and the others to a nearby mooring, where a luxurious mid-sized yacht had just arrived on time, and in stark contrast to the wooden boats, the difference in equipment between VIP players and civilian players was very real.

The yacht forced along the canal smoothly, Jingping came to the deck outside, sat next to the mast and looked at the owners of the wooden boats by the canal and asked, "Mr. Rahman, who are those people?" ”

Rahman smiled and explained, "The owners of the wooden boats are almost all Indians, but also Pakistanis. ”

Jingping found that there were Europeans, Americans, and Asians on the wooden boats, but there were no Arabs. On both sides of the wide canal, Western-style high-rise buildings stand tall in the sky, and if it weren't for the occasional white cupola, he might have forgotten that this was a city in the Arab world.

Rahman, who was a guest guide, said proudly: "In the past few decades, Dubai has changed from a small fishing village port to this international, modern and modern city, relying on the vision and ambition of a leader, coupled with successful execution and international marketing, the new version of Dubai's legend in the 21st century has just begun, His Royal Highness Prince Hamdan's extraordinary vision and courage have won the friendship of your company, he is a good leader. We are confident that the future of Dubai, and the future of the UAE as a whole, will lead to a new chapter of brilliance under his leadership. ”

Hearing this, Jingping was quite sideways, and then relieved, and nodded with a smile.

Jing Ping is also a general under Ye Hua, and Rahman's words seem to be bragging to him, a foreign guest, but Jing Ping can understand the deep meaning of these words intentionally or unintentionally, and there is a voice between the lines.

This is a hint that Jingping that Hamdan will become the successor of Dubai has even been set in stone, and the arrangement is clear, and the strategic cooperation project with the coastline company is the result of his single-handed planning.

In other words, isn't it indirectly telling the coastline company that there will be no new changes in the future of Dubai, it is very stable, you can do the water affairs with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about anything else, all possible problems will be suppressed by Hamdan.

It has to be said that the vision and determination of its leaders are the most important key to Dubai's rapid transformation.

With an area of about three-fifths of the capital and a population of just over 3 million, it is a small country, but it is with the ambition, creativity, imagination and execution that no one dares to imagine, overcoming the limitations of the desert, and in just twenty or thirty years, it has achieved a city of opportunity from a small port with a population of only more than 100,000 people to a city of opportunity known as "New York" today.

And Hamdan, the successor who is basically the next sheikh, has once again seized a new opportunity to take Dubai off.

A week later, the Jingping inspection team had a general understanding of the current area in Dubai, so they contacted China and launched a video communication with Ye Hua to report the latest work progress.
