Chapter 616: The Speechless Saudi Industry

Speaking of Saudi industry, Fan Yize was quite speechless.

Internationally, there is a disease that belongs to the national level - Dutch disease.

Dutch disease refers to the phenomenon that due to the abundance of resources in a certain country, relying on export resources to cause economic prosperity, thereby inhibiting the development of other industries, because relying on resource exports will cause a trade surplus, and exports will be more than imports, and then cause the appreciation of the local currency, affecting the export trade of other domestic industries.

In exchange for Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia has long relied on oil exports to drive the development of national GDP, earning a large amount of foreign exchange, resulting in the appreciation of the local currency and inhibiting the development of other domestic industries, so although Saudi Arabia is rich in resources, it is unable to become a regional power.

In fact, it is polite to say this, there are almost no independent industries in Saudi Arabia, all of which are built by foreign capital, of course, Saudi Arabia also has its own pillar industry, that is, the construction of mosques.

Saudi Arabia can earn hundreds of billions of dollars just by relying on the tourism of pilgrims every year, such a lucrative business, as long as you build a few more mosques around the world, and then tell those believers that you must come to the pilgrimage at least once in your life, otherwise you are not a qualified believer, so many people have been poor all their lives and have saved a lifetime of money just to go to Saudi Arabia to see the black stone.

In fact, Saudi Arabia is a rather feudal country, but it enjoys all the resources and technology of a modern country, which makes people mistakenly think that it is a modern country.

Once, at a university in Saudi Arabia, a female student dormitory was caught on fire, and some female students who fled in a hurry were stopped in the dormitory because they did not wear black robes and were eventually burned to death.

Saudi Arabia has been allowing women to drive for ten years, and it has only been implemented in recent years.

Compared with the internal freedom of Iranian society, Saudi Arabia is indeed still stuck in the society of an ancient feudal dynasty.

Although the Saudi regime also wants to improve the situation in the country, some things will not be changed overnight.

The first is the problem of social system and folk beliefs, and the Saudi people's living habits lead to extremely inefficient, lazy and uncompetitive. For example, there are five prayers a day, during which shops must be closed and factories must be closed.

The strong position of European and American companies makes it difficult for local Saudi companies to grow. For example, the busiest streets in the capital Riyadh are lined with brand stores from the United States, Canada, France and the United Kingdom, and strong competitors make it even more difficult for these already weak local companies to grow, let alone the lack of an industrial system.

Saudi students who go abroad from Saudi Arabia to study abroad after returning to China either work in national oil companies or work as civil servants, and there is little real support for the development of industry.

Similarly, there is no high-tech industry, and for Saudi Arabia, money can buy almost everything.

But in reality, Saudi Arabia has always relied on the Americans.

If Saudi Arabia wants to build a domestic industry, it is almost impossible to rely on local talents and social sentiment in Saudi Arabia.

Similarly, the United States will naturally have opinions, and Saudi Arabia imports a large number of luxury goods and basic daily necessities from the United States, and is a major commodity exporter to the United States.

Saudi Arabia will inevitably reduce the import of goods when it is sufficient for its own use.

Therefore, Saudi Arabia found Fan Yize, the sudden rise of the future technology group, and the industrial civilization of the new era, so that the Saudi royal family saw a very high-speed corner overtaking.

Who said that the Saudis are lazy, and they spend more time praying than they do at work, have you ever heard of a fully automatic intelligent industry, an industrial factory that does not need workers at all, and will not affect industrial efficiency at all because of social sentiments, ensuring the vitality of industry.

Since the Future Technology Group launched a comprehensive industrial cooperation with India, Saudi Arabia has paid great attention to it.

Future technology groups that can save India's industrial base will inevitably help Saudi Arabia fulfill its dream of industrial infrastructure.

And the industrial technology owned by the Future Technology Group is also what Saudi Arabia wants the most.

With this industrial technology, Saudi Arabia will achieve a truly zero breakthrough in industry, and there is no need to use the cost of time and labor.

Helping Saudi Arabia achieve zero breakthroughs in industry is also the main purpose of Fan Yize's visit to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has a vast land, which can be said to be vast and sparsely populated, with a large number of resources that can be developed, and if it can be utilized, it will be an important support for any future formation of technology groups in the Middle East.

A trillion-dollar partnership has just been launched, and Salman can't wait to get into the next project:

"Mr. Fan, the industrial capacity of Future Technology Group is obvious to the world, and I am also very interested in the cooperation project signed between Future Technology Group and India, on the basis of cooperation with India, I don't know if Mr. Fan has cooperated with us, and we are willing to show the greatest sincerity."

When Fan Yize heard this, he shook his head very dryly, and said: "Mr. Salman, our cooperation with India is mainly based on India's military industry, a total of 4,600 industrial technologies, 26,700 military industrial projects, none of which involve the civilian field, do you Saudi Arabia also need to thoroughly develop and improve its own military industry?" ”

Without waiting for Salman to speak, Fan Yize continued: "To put it mildly, although India's industry is indeed a mess, and the military industry is also a patchwork of four things, there are a large number of engineers and technicians, and there is also a certain industrial foundation, and we don't need to pay too much price to cooperate with India." ”

Speaking of this, Fan Yize was not afraid of the other party's anger, and said very politely: "But Saudi Arabia is completely different, India is only able to make its own rifles, but it can't make its own bullets, but Saudi Arabia is really a blank, I am even worried that if Saudi Arabia really faces a challenge that threatens the overall security of the country in the future, can the weapons and ammunition of your army meet the needs of its own use, and whether it can meet its own needs by relying on imported bullets alone, and in a few days, the bullet inventory will be exhausted. It also needs to be urgently replenished from the outside.

I'm not joking, Iraq and Iran faced the same problems during the Iran-Iraq war, and both countries found that they simply didn't have enough ammunition in their stockpiles to use less than a month after the war began.

This is not a question of urgently replenishing ammunition, but a problem covering the entire military industrial base, which will bring more burdens and costs to military expenditures, and the lessons of this cost have already been learned from the past. Nor should it be a problem that should arise in influential countries in a region. ”
