Chapter 121: Water is More Expensive Than Oil
Shopping for a night, watching people and scenery.
Dubai is an internationally successful city, whether on the road, on the street or in the mall, English coexists with Arabic, and many shops and restaurants are staffed in English.
It is not clear what will happen after the oil is depleted, but just with the pleasure of shopping and eating tonight, and the more and more shopping bags in the hands of the bodyguards, the service industry can give high marks.
Hasina's brisk footsteps linger among these international brands, women. Her beauty-loving nature has not been erased by religion, and she has the same infinite energy.
And her attitude towards fashion is not outdated. An Yang thought of what she had talked about before, her father was a businessman, traded between the two countries, and his family was well-off.
Judging from the details of her ability to speak English, her plan to study in the UK, and her habit of Western culture, it can be seen that her previous life was relatively well-off.
It's just that war destroys everything, and peace is always happiness.
"I want ice cream." Her voice interrupted Anyan's thoughts, and Hasna pointed to a nearby ice cream shop where several girls were enjoying.
She was a little ashamed, feeling that this kind of request was so childish, but she yearned.
How could An Yang refuse: "When you don't have a job, you can do whatever you want, and no one will say about you." ”
"Thank you!" She smiled, and although it was only a small request, it meant something to her.
An Yang smiled and said to her again, "Bring me a copy too." ”
"No problem." She floated to the front of the ice cream parlor.
A very comfortable night, and delicious snacks, made An Yang, who had been immersed in war and artillery fire for many days, couldn't help relaxing.
……
The next afternoon, a prince of Dubai, Kemari, sent a car to greet him.
An off-white Rolls-Royce specially made for the Middle East stopped at the door, and the driver opened the door and waited aside, and greeted him in English.
Anyang leaned sideways and motioned for Hasna to get in the car first.
She wore a very fairy dress today, her hair was coiled up, and she wore a headscarf purely for beauty, and her delicate face was exposed.
Full of Arabian style and anti-feudal obsolescence, she used a non-revealing outfit to bring out the charm of the radiant model on the catwalk.
Get on the bus and head to your destination.
The prince of Kemari does not live in the royal palace, because there are too many members of the royal family, and there are still few in Dubai, and it is said that there are thousands of princes in Saudi Arabia next door.
So the prince has his own house, located by the sea, with exclusive access to the beach and the blue sea, with a lush wooded front yard, an artificial lake and a luxurious swimming pool.
According to what An Yang learned, there are two kinds of local tyrants in Dubai, ordinary local tyrants rely on showing off their cars and houses, and top local tyrants show off the greening and water resources at home.
In such a country that lacks water and greenery, being able to afford a luxury car does not mean that you can afford to raise these dozens of big trees, live in a luxury house, or afford to play in a swimming pool.
Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the fountain, and a man in white robe waited.
The maid pulled the car door, An Yang got out of the car first, and the other party stepped forward with a smile and said in English: "You are welcome to be a guest, An!" My honored and long-admired guest! ”
"It's an honor to visit!" An Yang shook hands with him.
Kemari looked at the beautiful woman who came down with him, and Hasina, who was carefully dressed, had a stunning beauty, which made him look at it a few more times.
"Hasina, my friend." An Yang introduced.
Kemari sent her a congregation: "May Allah grant you peace!" ”
Hasna responded: "May Allah grant you peace!" ”
Kemari nodded and gestured sideways: "Distinguished friends, please inside!" ”
The painting style in the house was expected by An Yang, full of golden gold, mixed with ivory decorations, expensive handmade carpets under his feet, and Swarovski crystal chandeliers overhead, all of which were specially selected to decorate the most expensive ones.
An Yang sent a gift: "This is what I specially brought, I hope you like it." ”
"Thank you." Kemari took it with both hands, opened it, and inside was an electronic product packaging box, and then opened the box in surprise.
Kemari pulled out a gold-plated smart translator, made in gold specifically for local tyrants, with a limited edition number printed on the back.
"I love it so much!" Kemari liked it very much, and after studying in the UK, he hugged Anyan directly to express his excitement.
"I have a gift for you, friend!" He said, and the servant brought something.
An Yang's feeling for gold and gems is very ordinary, but he is interested in the white robe given by Kemari, how to say that he is now the leader of the 20 million people.
So he said he wanted to put it on.
Kemari, of course, was willing, and immediately assigned a servant to lead the way, and Anyan changed into a white robe, but instead of a little white hat, a red and white checkered scarf.
Not to mention other feelings, it's quite cool to wear.
Kemari looked at Anyan after changing clothes and said in surprise: "You really look like a cultist!" Including the temperament between mannerisms. ”
If it weren't for Anyan's dislike of revealing his identity at will, Hassina would almost be tempted to correct him, he was a great prophet at all.
"I prefer Ampai." Anyan didn't blush when he lied, and winked at Hasina, he knew what she meant.
Kemari paused for a moment, then smiled: "Ampai? Well, they've been making a lot of noise lately, if you're willing to believe it. ”
"Isn't Ampai bad?" An Yang asked him deliberately.
As a follower of the X faction, Kemari did not dare to say more: "I don't know. But since they can restore calm to Iraq, that should be a good thing. ”
An Yang smiled: "You are still very open-minded and worldly. ”
Kemari snorted: "Keep up with the times." Can I tell you about some of the fun things to do? Maybe you'll like it too! ”
They followed the visit to the Comari.
There are a lot of tricks for rich tyrants, and it is necessary to raise eagles in the house, and what is even more exaggerated is that there are two African lions in the yard, which are dragged by ropes for the servants.
"Does it bite?" An Yang said this, and his hand had already touched the lion's head.
"No, it's full. And raised from a young age is very docile. Kemari reached out to tickle the big cat, but it lay still.
After visiting the fancy life of some local tyrants, and seeing the maid in the yard cleaning the pool, An Yang asked: "Isn't the water here cheap?" ”
Kemari laughs: "Bottled water is a bit more expensive than oil. ”
Water is more expensive than oil, and this scene probably only exists in these desert oil giants, looking at the long swimming pool, if you want to maintain this magnificence, you must definitely burn dollars.
An Yang inquired very carefully: "What is other than drinking water, is it all desalination technology?" ”
"Yes." Kemari nodded, "The world's top desalination technology is here, and the needs of households and industries can basically be met." ”
An Yang continued to ask: "But the constraints of nature are still quite serious, right? ”
Kemari wondered if he asked, "You are concerned about freshwater?" Is there a technology for this? ”
An Yang nodded: "I have invested in some environmental projects, including desalination technology. It is more advanced than current technology, and desalinated water can be used directly as drinking water. ”
As a water-scarce country, Kemari understands the importance of water-downing technology: "Is the technology you talking about commercialised? ”
Combining the knowledge in his head, Anyan said, "It's in the laboratory stage. But it is not difficult to commercialize it on a large scale, as long as it is supported by capital. ”
"As long as this technology passes, I can guarantee that there will be a high demand in the UAE, and joint investment will not be a problem," Kemari said. ”
An Yang was sure: "I'm sure you'll like it." ”
As water resources slowly become scarce, sufficient seawater will be the second way for mankind, and the world will be seriously short of natural fresh water in the future, and desalination is the only way out.
The future desalination technology is very high, and now it is popularized in water-scarce countries, and it will definitely be very popular.
These countries are used first to sell drinking water, which is more precious than oil, when they export oil to the world.
Or sell some genetically modified plants -- very drought-resistant, very tenacious, able to bring a lush green, and strong to my great gods.
If he had done so as a prophet and greened the Middle East, the miracle would have been able to win over a group of believers...... Let's go back to the business promotion field first, and it's a good idea.
This is the right posture to deal with big dogs!
As a business, it's pretty good, right?
Looking far, when the world is short of water in the future, the importance and influence of companies that master core technologies are self-evident.
As a manager, Anyang's responsibility is here.
