v2 Chapter 570： Saudi trip

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, commonly known as Saudi Arabia, referred to as Saudi Arabia. Located in the Arabian Peninsula in southwestern Asia, it is bordered by the Persian Gulf in the east and the Red Sea in the west. It is bordered by Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen, Bahrain, Qatar and other countries.

In the 7th century AD, the successors of Muhammad, the founder of the Islamic religion, established the Arab Empire. The 8th century was its heyday, and its territory spanned Europe, Asia and Africa. It began to decline in the 11th century and was ruled by the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. The British invaded in the 19th century, and it was divided into two parts: Hejaz and Najd. In 1924, Abdullah Aziz ibn Saud, the chief of the Nejz, annexed Hejaz and declared himself king the following year. After years of war, the Arabian Peninsula was finally unified, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was announced on September 23, 1932, which was designated as Saudi Arabia's National Day.

Saudi Arabia is a veritable "Kingdom of Oil", with the largest oil reserves and production in the world, making it one of the richest countries in the world. Saudi Arabia is the world's largest producer of desalinated seawater, and its desalination volume accounts for about 21% of the world's total. Saudi Arabia implements a liberal economic policy. Mecca is the birthplace of Muhammad, the founder of Islamist religion, and a holy place for Muslims to pilgrimage.

Saudi Arabia's financial system is perfect and developed, and Saudi Arabia's tourism industry is also relatively developed. The Saudi government encourages the development of the private economy to reduce the country's economy's dependence on oil exports while providing more jobs for a rapidly growing population. Saudi Arabia also uses a large number of foreign workers. The economic development focuses on industry, and the petroleum and petrochemical industries are the lifeblood of the national economy and the main economic source.

After arranging various matters in Xiangjiang, Bao Zixuan was invited by Prince Sultan to come to what may be one of the richest countries in the world. The Saudi side attaches great importance to the arrival of Bao Zixuan, and now technology towns are being built around the world. As the most well-known high-tech company in the world, Black Cloud Group will be warmly welcomed wherever it goes.

On May 5, 1983, Bao Zixuan's special plane arrived in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

Riyadh, the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia in West Asia, the capital of Riyadh Province, is located in the plain of Hanifa Valley in the middle of the Arabian Peninsula. Riyadh means "courtyard" in Arabic. It is a typical oasis city and an international metropolis. , the largest city in the Arabian Peninsula with a population of more than 6 million.

Riyadh used to be a small desert city covering an area of ​​less than one square kilometer. After the discovery of oil in the 1930s, after decades of construction and development, it has become one of the most famous garden cities in the Arab world. Agricultural, commercial and industrial areas are well organized, with hot and dry summers and mild winters.

The Saudi side gave Bao's richest man a very high-standard reception, and his old friend, Prince Sultan, the third Saudi figure, went to the airport to greet him. And drive it yourself. This is a very high courtesy that ordinary people do not enjoy.

Before that, there was a small episode, in order to receive Bao Zixuan and his party. Saudi Arabia has purchased a large number of Heiyun vehicles in the market, which to a certain extent has promoted the sales of Heiyun vehicles in the Middle East.

This is the arrogance of the Saudis, and it is not a good thing for wealth to come too easily. People get too much when they do not have the ability to control wealth, and it is easy to lose their way.

However, these have nothing to do with Bao Zixuan, and the purpose of coming here is to enhance the influence of the Black Cloud Group in the Middle East. Sanctions from European and American countries will come at any time, and now it is necessary to open a breakthrough in other countries.

Middle Eastern countries are a good choice, although there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor. However, the pricing of some products of Heiyun is relatively high, and they are basically for high-end customers.

Bao Zixuan appeared at Riyadh International Airport in a suit, and a heat wave hit. No wonder people in Middle Eastern countries like to wear robes, it's really airy and cool.

Prince Sultan quickly greeted him and gave Bao Zixuan a hug, and said with a smile, "Welcome, my friend, a distinguished guest from afar."

Bao Zixuan also said with a smile: "I am very happy to come to Saudi Arabia, especially after meeting you. Arabs are a hospitable people. I believe that the next few days will have a wonderful journey and have an unforgettable memory."

Bao Zixuan's words made Prince Sultan very happy, because many countries in the world are not particularly friendly to Arabs. From Hollywood movies, most of them play negative roles to see the clue. But aside from some factors, the hospitality of the Arabs is really nothing to say.

The bold character of nomads is still worthy of recognition, and a nation cannot be denied because of some people.

Prince Sultan: "I am very happy that you have such an idea. The world has too many misunderstandings about Arabs. In the past few days, I will definitely let you experience the customs of Saudi Arabia and see what real Arabs are like."

The Saudis know that oil resources are a gift from God, but this gift will run out sooner or later. Therefore, after becoming rich, he began to plan ahead and began to vigorously develop other industries very early. Among them, tourism is a key point. The government would rather lose money to attract tourists from all over the world.

This is the cleverness of the Saudis, supporting national development in disguise. It's better than giving money, and it's so easy to feed people.

Prince Sultan introduced Bao Zixuan to the Saudi officials who came to greet them, most of them were members of the royal family; Bao's richest man greeted them together.

Although they may not look down on the way of life of these people, this is also their life. Reincarnation is a science, one cannot be envied.

Bao Zixuan saw that Mike Briffin was also at the airport to greet him, Prince Sultan quickly explained: "Mr. Briffin didn't want to come, I forced him to bring him; I can let him introduce you to the luncheon later. condition."

"You also know that those of us don't understand industry and factory construction. It takes Mr. Briffin to understand. I'm just here to welcome old friends and drive the car."

Hearing that, Bao Zixuan didn't say much, just didn't delay work. In fact, Mike Briffin didn't want to come over to meet Bao Zixuan, after all, he knew the character of the boss. I don't like form, and I care more about work efficiency.

As the head of the Saudi ground effect aircraft project of the Black Cloud Group, Bao Zixuan definitely didn't like it when he left his post to flatter the boss. Now Prince Sultan explains, I believe the misunderstanding can be resolved.

Bao Zixuan: "I've been working hard recently, how is the project going?"

Hearing that Bao Zixuan came up and asked about the project, Prince Sultan was very emotional. If the children of the royal family can work so seriously, no one can imagine what Saudi Arabia will become. Looking at these princes and princesses who only know how to spend money, is there any hope for Saudi Arabia's future if it does not change?

But this is not the time to talk about work, Prince Sultan said with a smile: "My friend, this is not the time to talk about work. And your clothes are not suitable for staying out for too long, you can consider us Arabs costumes."

Bao Zixuan also felt a little too anxious, and did as the locals did. Still have to obey the master's arrangement, after all, he is a guest.

Prince Sultan, who graduated from a military academy, is very good at driving, but he is a man who can even drive a tank. The two of them talked and laughed as they drove towards the residence, and it could be said that the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Soon the convoy came to the outskirts of Riyadh, where Prince Sultan had several villas near the ground effect aircraft factory. It is not far from the barracks, and as the head of the royal family's military will often live here.

After getting off the bus, Prince Sultan said: "This is my private residence, which is relatively quiet. And it is very close to the ground effect aircraft factory, so it is very convenient to go anywhere In addition, His Majesty the King heard that Come here, there will be a reception dinner at the palace tomorrow. It doesn't matter if we are friends, we still need to prepare when we meet His Majesty the King."

Bao Zixuan is also someone who has seen the world and knows the priorities of things. After all, the King of Saudi Arabia is also a big head of state, and it is already very good to be invited to the dinner. I'm just an ordinary businessman, and I can't push my nose on my face.

Bao Zixuan: "I understand what you mean, please rest assured that I will be there on time."

Hearing that Prince Sultan didn't say much, everyone is smart. A lot of things are good enough to stop at the end, but too much is said, but it seems long-winded.

Prince Sultan: "You have a good rest first, and I will show you our Arabian cuisine in the evening."

In fact, when he entered the room, Bao Zixuan had already seen a chef roasting camels. In the Arab region, there seems to be no delicious food except this one.
