Chapter 149: It's Worth the Price!

Under the gaze of everyone, the two people in white robes hugged each other, and then Sartler patted each other's shoulders and said:

"Congratulations, my friend, now you're the mayor!"

Hearing Satler's blessing, the prince named Mehad shook his head with a wry smile on his face, and said:

"Friend, this is not a good errand at this point in time."

"A simple sentence or two, I can't explain it clearly, when we sit down later, I'll tell you in detail, and I want to hear your opinion."

"Who is this? Won't you introduce me to that? ”

After he finished the first two sentences, he didn't explain in detail, and turned his gaze to Wang Ye, today's Wang Ye was very local and wore a set of desert local style white robes, but he didn't have a headscarf.

"My friend, a distinguished guest from the Far East, the helmsman of the Red Star Machinery and Steel Complex, Wang Ye."

"You should have heard of their products!"

Suddenly the other people present suddenly realized that in the desert, no country can be alone, although Dubai is better, facing the sea behind Abu Dhabi, is a relatively superior geographical location, away from war and armed groups, but Abu Dhabi is next to Oman, and then west is the southeastern region of Saudi Arabia bordering Yemen, and the flow of armed forces is running around, in short, the situation is more complicated.

"Welcome! Welcome Mr. Wang. ”

"Some time ago, we also managed to acquire a few small planes produced by them for urban patrols."

"It was very easy to use, they even tried skydiving, which was very convenient!"

The Mehhard explained with a smile, then took the lead in making a gesture to invite in, and said:

"Come in, let's sit down and talk."

"I've got coffee, rose tea, juice, and shisha, let's go!"

Then the group walked into the municipal building, saying that the building was not too big, after all, the overall scale of the city of Dubai is not large, and after a while, they came to the mayor's office.

Said to be an office, at least covers an area of 500 square meters, floor-to-ceiling windows, excellent vision, has been prepared all kinds of dried fruits and fruits, desert hookah, etc., everyone sat down, after a few simple greetings, Sartler asked:

"Mecchard, what do you mean when I congratulated you on becoming mayor, and you said that this time is not a good errand?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean, is there anything special about this point in time?"

Or is there something else? I'm curious. ”

In this place in the desert, because of economic, cultural and religious reasons, the relationship between countries is relatively close, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, so it is normal for Sattler to ask this directly, after all, in a sense, everyone is a religious and cultural community of interests.

"My good brother Satler, do you remember?"

"Before you went into hiding, almost three years ago, we had a joint meeting to discuss the direction and ways of future economic development in the desert area."

Hearing Mehardt say this, Satler's expression suddenly became solemn, and he nodded and said:

"Of course I do."

"At that time, we agreed that we could not rely solely on the oil economy, after all, oil is a non-renewable resource, and if one day our oil is extracted from the ground, we will return to the poverty of growing dates in the desert again."

"But in the follow-up, this plan seems to have no development, because there is no constructive plan to put forward, with the passage of time, in the end, it is not enough, but I have always remembered, because I deeply agree with this, and in the past few years, I have been constantly thinking, how should we develop, in order to achieve the 'two-legged' walking model, but unfortunately, maybe my wisdom is not enough, I haven't thought of any feasible way."

"And because of this incident, I have been urging Hamina to study hard and study hard, and the direction of development that we can't find may be found in the future with continuous learning and accumulation of knowledge."

Speaking of this, Sattaler subconsciously turned his head to look at Wang Ye, only to see Wang Ye frowning and thinking, with no intention of speaking, while Mehardt sighed and said:

"That's where the problem lies."

"In terms of oil reserves, you have higher reserves and can be exploited for a longer period of time, while we don't have that much oil, so it's very urgent to find another economic path."

"In the past three years, we have discussed a lot of plans and made a lot of attempts, such as changing trade rules, learning from Japanese strategies, such as developing the jewelry industry, and so on."

"Although it has some effects, the effect is not good, and the follow-up is weak, and it cannot be turned into a pillar industry."

The prince, Mehard, looked very depressed, and the other escorts did not look so good, and the overall air was very oppressive, while Prince Mehad continued:

"This year, the problem has become more and more acute."

"We don't have much oil, really not much, and the lobbying in the United States, about increasing oil production and lowering prices, has made our need for reform very urgent, if we can't start this work when oil prices are high and we are financially rich."

"When oil prices plummet and our economy fell into a trough, there was no chance of success, and the end result was to continue fishing for dates."

"And I, Mecchard, at this point in time, became the mayor of Dubai, what kind of errand is that?"

"At the end I felt like my head was going to explode! Yes! Desperate! ”

In the end, he held his head helplessly and sighed, looking like he was about to have a nervous breakdown, and then picked up the hookah pipe next to him, and after taking two sharp sips, he seemed to be relieved, and then asked:

"Our brother, do you have anything to say?"

"It's not a good habit to just listen to stories and not talk!"

Faced with Prince Mehard's question, Sattaler hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Perhaps, the shipbuilding industry can be developed?"

Prince Mehad couldn't help but roll his eyes, sighed and said:

"My friend, you're overestimating our talent and the size of our economy."

"If you want to introduce a full set of shipbuilding industry, the high cost will definitely be vomited by a country like Japan!"

Hearing Mehard say this, Sattler didn't care, and said with a smile:

"I already said it, I don't have any ideas."

"However, maybe this friend of mine will, but I must make it clear in advance that this friend of mine provides consultation, but there is a fee, and the price is still set by me for him, starting at five million dollars!"

"How? Interested in listening to it? ”

As soon as Sartler's voice fell, more than a dozen people in the room suddenly showed surprised expressions, and the characters who could make Sartler speak in this tone were naturally not simple, and the price of starting at five million dollars could be said to be quite not cheap!

"Of course, I'd like to hear about it."

"I'm sure Sartler, you won't have a problem with your vision!"

In the end, Mehard said with a smile, for him, although five million dollars is a lot, but it is definitely not much, since Sattler has used his face as a guarantee, even if Wang Ye says a piece of, Mehard will pay five million, and Sattler will naturally understand that this suggestion is not worth so much money, if it is not worth it, he will naturally find a way to make up for this money for himself in the future.

Under the gaze of more than a dozen people in the office, Wang Ye put down the cup and said:

"Actually, in my opinion, the question is very simple."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people present were different, some frowned, some were disdainful, some were curious, some were smiling, and some were expressionless, and then Wang Ye continued:

"You might as well follow my train of thought and make a simple deduction."

"The so-called economic development is to combine the local land and cultural environment, and make choices according to local conditions, such as Japan, they are island countries, lack of sufficient resources, so they rely on trade and processing to start."

"For Dubai, it's the same, fishing and growing dates when it was poor, it was also adapted to local conditions, and after the discovery of oil, the development of oil trade and oil processing was also adapted to local conditions."

"You agree on that, right?"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, although everyone felt that Wang Ye had said nonsense, but this nonsense was really fine, seeing everyone nodding, Wang Ye smiled and continued:

"Then if you want to develop a new pillar economy, you must still follow this strategy and adapt measures to local conditions."

"So let's think about it, what are the advantages of Dubai?"

"I'm asking you now, please answer!"

In the face of Wang Ye's interactive chatting method, it was obvious that the people present were not very comfortable, and Sattaler frowned and thought, looking like he had brought in, so everyone could only give Sattaler face, and replied one after another while thinking:

"We're by the sea? Developing fisheries? ”

"Yes, or shipping?"

"We have sand and sandstorms, and I can't think of anything else."

"It can't be dates, right?"

"Is it a camel?"

In the midst of the gossip and the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye shook his head, pointed to the sky-high wrench that Prince Mehad was wearing on the opposite side, and then said softly:

"No, your greatest advantage is that you are rich!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded, in their opinion, what they said according to local conditions should be some kind of resource, is it possible that rich people are also resources? If it does, it is also to let others earn money, not yourself!

"I don't understand what you mean, sir, can you explain it more clearly?"

In the end, Prince Mehard couldn't help it, looked at Sattler and then at Wang Ye and asked, and Wang Ye chuckled and said:

"It's very simple, in my opinion, the direction of your development should be tourism!"

As soon as Wang Ye's words fell, a sigh suddenly sounded at the scene, and Prince Mehad shook his head in disappointment and said:

"Sir, as for the direction of tourism development, we have been researching and trying for a long time."

"But the results are small, we lack enough natural scenery here, few tourists are willing to come, and the cultural scenery such as architecture is also lackluster, not too attractive."

Hearing Mehard Wang Ye say this, Wang Ye sighed, shook his head and said:

"As I said earlier, tourism should be adapted to local conditions, and it is clear that you are not doing this in the direction of your development."

"So be it! His Royal Highness Prince Mehard, I give you two pieces of advice, if you think it's worth it, you can pay five million, and if you don't think it's worth it, then act as if nothing happened. ”

Immediately, Prince Mehad frowned, but still nodded slightly, and then Wang Ye said:

"As I said earlier, your biggest advantage here is the rich people."

"As one of the countries with the highest GDP in the world, as one of the countries with the highest density of wealthy people in the world, you should use your strengths."

"I'll give you an example, under the Alps, there are ski hotels everywhere, because mountaineering and skiing represent excitement, so they attract people who like excitement, while in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, because of the existence of red light streets, it attracts prostitutes, and Las Vegas in the United States, because of the existence of casinos, attracts gamblers."

Just when everyone's eyes were already full of mosquito coils, Wang Ye sighed and said:

"If you reveal your most extravagant and luxurious life to the whole world, boast of your wealth, boast of your high life, and surpass all the human beings in all the countries of the whole planet, who do you think it will attract here?"

Faced with this question, Prince Mehad hesitated and said:

"Robbers?"

In an instant, Wang Ye couldn't help but laugh directly, waved his hand and said:

"Yes, but they're not the main ones."

"The main thing is the rich people, and the pseudo-rich people who want to be rich, or who are trying to blend in with the ranks of the rich!"

"You have to promote your way of life, and the world is conformist, and when your way of life is defined as a luxurious and high-end lifestyle, they will naturally learn from you and join you, come to this city of luxury to have a look, and then go back to claim that I am already rich."

"Got it?"

Wang Ye's voice was deafening, and everyone present was stunned, because they thought about it carefully, and it seemed that Wang Ye was right!

And Wang Ye continued to take care of himself:

"Of course, that's just the first step, and it's just the first piece of advice I've given."

"The second suggestion, and the second step, revolves around the second step."

"Since your definition of yourself is 'luxury city', then there should be facilities and equipment to match it, let me give you a simple example, today's normal high-end hotels, only five-star, why can't you make a seven-star? Or even a 10-star hotel? ”

"Other high-end hotels only have 50 floors, no! You're going to have a hundred floors! One hundred and fifty floors! ”

"No natural landscapes? How about you reclaim land in the open sea and create a miniature version of the world map, which is full of all kinds of world-style buildings and hotels, so that guests can come here and travel the world in three days, how about that? ”

"All in all, you want to build the world's tallest building, the world's most luxurious hotel, the world's largest shopping mall, the world's best racing track, the world's most spectacular artificial island, and everything that is unbelievable in the world!"

"I'd like to call it a spectacle!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a natural landscape, it doesn't matter if you don't have a historical and cultural landscape, because you have money, you can make it!"

"Even, not to mention far, let's just say that you bought our rotorcraft, you just mentioned skydiving, so why can't you provide skydiving entertainment services to skydiving enthusiasts all over the world? Those who can afford to play skydiving should be relatively wealthy, and their spending power will naturally not be too bad, right? ”

At that moment, everyone present was stunned, and even Sattaler's eyes were full of sparks, and he had the urge to rush over and cover Wang Ye's mouth and ask him not to continue!

Obviously, he approved of Wang Ye's plan, and he felt that this could be successful!

There was silence for a while.

Finally, after a few minutes, everyone in the office reacted, their expressions when they looked at Wang Ye were different, and their faces were full of excitement and enthusiasm, and the Prince Mehad was even more direct, hurriedly stood up and walked back to the desk, brushed what he wrote, took it and handed it to Wang Ye respectfully:

"Mr. Wang Ye."

"What a wise man with unimaginable wisdom!"

"I apologize for the suspicion just now, this is the cost of my consultation to you, and I think your words are worth the price!"

It was a check for ten million dollars!

Unexpectedly, Wang Ye chuckled and shook his head, put the check back on the table, and said at the same time:

"Your plan hasn't started yet, and it doesn't prove me right."

"So this money, keep it with you for now, and when my plan improves and proves its success, I will take it again!"

"I guess there should be no problem, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room looked at each other, and then there was a warm applause!

At the same time, Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in normal history, Dubai put forward a plan for economic reform in 79, and it was not until 85 years that due to the problem of development facilities, the expansion and renovation of the urban area began, as well as the construction of new high-end hotels.

The well-known Burj Al Arab was only established in the late eighties, and construction began in '94, not to mention the Burj Khalifa, which did not start until '04.

In general, the development of Dubai's tourism industry, in the early stage is completely the result of a mistake, they just want to develop supporting equipment, just because they are too rich, every action is very big, the result is in the media propaganda and promotion, more and more famous, and fame is the flow of passengers, is the economy!

Now, Wang Ye is just giving them a clear direction.

And the reason why you want to do this is very simple, what if the potential customer has no money? Then find a way to make them rich, let them get rich, and then they can come to your house and buy and buy!
