Han Xuan knew very well in his heart that the reason why this Qatari royal family member named Al Thani came to Stark Tower was to attract investment, after all, it was not the first time he had met these Middle Easterners, and there were always people who tried their best to get close to him and tried to get Han Xuan to help develop their own country together.

It's not that Han Xuan is narcissistic, but after many such things have happened, he has understood that since he decided to invest heavily in the emirate of Dubai, he has become a fragrant bun in the eyes of the high-level leaders of some countries in the Middle East.

However, one or two modern tourist cities in the Middle East are enough, Han Xuan has no desire to invest in other regions, and has rejected their investment proposals in a tactful way, and there is a two-ton golden bear sculpture in the lobby of the Alpha Building of the Snow Mountain Four Towers, which is a reference to Vinnie's appearance, which is a friendly gift from the top brass of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, which is also the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

The State of Qatar is close to the United Arab Emirates, and the only thing that can be remembered in that region other than sands and camels is probably oil, and in this good old age when oil was equal to hard currency, these oil-rich countries were hardly poor.

Coupled with the sparse population, creating a large number of wealthy residents, the quality of life of the locals is not necessarily high, but definitely very rich, they are now keen to travel to the Maldives for vacation, more than 40% of Maldives tourists are Middle Easterners, every year for Han Xuan to bring a lot of profits, live in the best hotels on the island, and take away a lot of luxury goods when leaving, in recent years, more and more guests go to travel, which has a lot to do with the implementation of the visa-free policy in the Maldives.

Oil resources are the advantage of those Middle Eastern countries, not all countries are the same as Mongolia, like to lie on the rich natural mineral resources, but also live a hard life of lack of food and clothing, they and European and American countries, has already developed a large number of oil resources, in recent years the leadership of these Middle Eastern countries found that the economy built on oil is very unstable, so they have sought transformation.

However, the small population and high wages mean that it is impossible to develop the light manufacturing industry, and the economy, ports and other industries are also occupied by Dubai.

Heavy industry manufacturing is even more impossible, that region does not have much of this foundation, Western countries choose to invest in the Middle East around the Middle East, because they have too few advantages, think about it can only develop the tertiary industry, through the development of tourism to drive shopping, real estate and other markets.

Other investors do not plan to go to the Middle East for development, Han Xuan is actually no exception, if it is not for the Emirate of Dubai to give him enough benefits, give him shares in ports, airports and other industries, otherwise he does not plan to invest too much money in Dubai.

Having shares in Dubai's traditional industries means that the loss of investment has been reduced, and even if the other parts of the investment cannot fully recover the cost, the two parts of the industry, the largest port and the largest airport in the Middle East, can also bring him a steady stream of returns, so he decided to invest in Dubai.

Not to mention that the sheikh of Dubai has promised to divide a separate piece of land by the sea to develop the gambling industry for Han Xuan, which is a discount he promised to invest 10 billion US dollars in ten years, and only this casino will be built within ten years, this is a promise given by Prince Said on behalf of the Dubai royal family, and judging from their living customs, they have really made great concessions.

People like to gamble, this is the innate nature of human beings, but later by the dogma and secular constraints, with a large number of tourists and the number of wealthy people in the Middle East, Han Xuan is very optimistic about the future development of the casino, he plans to move Caesars Palace to Dubai, invest about 1.5 billion US dollars, to build a super luxury casino hotel, the location is not far from the Burj Al Arab......

At this moment, Han Xuan sat face to face with Mr. Al Thani, who was wearing a yellow robe, and he asked with interest: "Recently, the demand for oil in the world market has been rising, and the price has been soaring.

I remember that Qatar ranked third in the world in terms of gas reserves and seventh in the world in terms of GDP per capita last year. ”

From the founding of OPEC to 1970, the price of crude oil has remained at the level of 1.8 to 2 US dollars a barrel, which shows that OPEC's ability to control oil prices in the international oil market was insignificant throughout the sixties of the twentieth century.

As a result of the Asian financial crisis, declining demand, and OPEC's untimely increase in production, the price of crude oil fell from around $24 a barrel in January 1997 to a minimum of $9.2 a barrel in December 1998, and then rebounded from March this year, all the way up to the current $26 a barrel.

Han Xuan suddenly realized at this moment that the period of rising oil prices, which lasted for more than eight years, had already begun, and the last month of the 20th century was a good time to begin to enter the oil futures market, and he could still remember the previous life The month before the 2008 Yanjing Olympic Games, the price of oil was as high as 150 US dollars a barrel! And in a dramatic way, after just a few months, it fell to about forty dollars a barrel, which is completely the "Internet bubble" of the oil futures market.

Finding another way to make money, Han Xuan couldn't wait to hand over this matter to the interstellar investment side to arrange, the sooner he entered this market, the more money he could make, and if he entered a year ago, it would be even more profitable, he was annoyed that he paid too little attention to the oil market.

Mr. Al Thani sighed deeply and said, "I am worried that the inhabitants of our country are rich, but they lack some of the spirit of other countries, such as the Americans.

Work is a kind of life attitude, a kind of professionalism, to be honest, I am now very rich, the family luxury car is almost unstable, even private jets have three, and there are four wives.

Although I am not as rich as you, I am not short of money to spend, and I still work three hours a day, sometimes overtime, even from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Now we Qatari residents rarely have my pragmatic spirit, and we will be busy sleeping with a few wives every day, alas~"

Han Xuan was dumbfounded, hearing this slightly proud tone, he was indeed thundered......
