Chapter 712 Terrorist Attack (1)

   King Dammam International Airport.

   "The scenery here is really unique!"

  Zhong Shi stood on the top of the hanging ladder of the plane and looked far into the distance. Among the desolate and yellow sand, there were faintly dotted with a little green, and the tall reinforced concrete buildings were faintly visible in the distance. These originally strange-shaped buildings became more distorted in the rising heat wave, as if they were unbelievable like mirages.

   "Let's go, this **** place!"

  Gao Dongfang, who was behind Zhong Shi, had just poked his head out before being choked back by the oncoming heat wave. He looked at the ground with dissatisfaction, and then looked back at the interior of Zhongshi's special plane with nostalgia, and then yelled with dissatisfaction.

  The interior luxury of this special plane made the well-informed Gao Dongfang amazed. Now that he was about to leave this "luxury box" and return to the extremely hot ground, one could imagine the sense of loss in his heart.

"Relax, my friend, this time I'm here to visit our prince friend in a private capacity." Zhong Shi looked at Gao Dongfang seriously, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said jokingly, "You must not pretend that you are in the country. Otherwise, my whole plan will be ruined, and then you will be the only one to ask. Pampering and pampering is not feasible here, so stop dawdling, and come out quickly."

   "Are you not pampered?"

  Gao Dongfang looked at Zhong Shi who was descending the hanging ladder speechlessly, and muttered dissatisfiedly. But when out of the corner of his eye he saw a row of luxury cars slowly driving into the tarmac, he immediately put on a harmless smile and quickly got out of the cabin.

   "Mr. Zhongshi?"

An Arab with a big beard came over and asked in English with a weird accent, "I am Ibn Aziz, the steward of Prince Faisal. You can call me Ibn. I am ordered to meet you , I trouble you and your entourage to follow us this way."

   As he spoke, he looked behind Zhong Shi. But after watching for a while, the butler named Iben was surprised to find that only Zhong Shi and Gao Dongfang got off the whole plane. arrive.

   "This is Mr. Gao Dongfang from China!" Zhong Shi looked at the eight brand new Rolls-Royces, smiled and said nothing.

  It was only then that Eben came back to his senses, looked at Zhong Shi with a respectful and humble look, bent slightly, and was two steps behind Zhong Shi, guiding Zhong Shi towards a Rolls-Royce.

  Gao Dongfang looked at the group of Rolls-Royce cars, and then looked back at the Boeing airliner on the tarmac. The muscles on his face twitched suddenly, and he was completely speechless.

  Jibai, the second largest city in Saudi Arabia, borders on the Arabian Gulf and connects to the hinterland of the Arabian Peninsula. It has unique geographical conditions. And because it is adjacent to countries such as Syria and Qatar, which are also rich in oil, Jibai is not only the second largest city in Saudi Arabia, but also a key city and trade center in this region.

  From the beginning of the 21st century, Jibai began to implement a free and stable economic policy, vigorously develop entrepot trade, tourism and other businesses, and strive to get rid of the dependence on the oil industry. Today, Jibai's entrepot trade and tourism have grown into two major industries that can keep pace with the oil industry.

  Because of rapid development, Jibai has built a series of modern infrastructure in the past two decades, and the building complex that Zhongshi saw earlier is part of it.

  Among these modern infrastructures, the sailing hotel built on the reclamation area is the most famous. The Jibai people forcefully reclaimed an artificial island a few hundred meters away from the coastline, and built an ultra-luxury hotel in the shape of a sailboat on it. The interior of this sailing hotel is resplendent and luxurious, beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even the faucet in the bathroom is made of pure gold. Such luxury makes it the only seven-star hotel in the world.

In addition to the iconic Burj Al Arab, Jibai also has the world's largest shopping mall and the world's tallest building... Countless buildings with a variety of whimsical ideas have sprung up in this port city, making it a short In twenty years, it has become one of the focus cities of the whole world.

  When the luxury convoy drove into the urban area, Zhong Shi and Gao Dongfang were full of praise for the scenery that caught their eyes: a curved building like a candle, a building that can rotate freely and change its shape all the time, a filled island shaped like the earth...

   "What an eye-opener!"

When the convoy finally stopped at the gate of the sailing hotel, Zhong Shi gave a thumbs up and sincerely boasted to Iben, "Your buildings here are really beyond the expectations of the world. This is simply a miracle. No, it is A miracle."

  Iben showed a proud smile on his face, but he still said humbly: "This miracle was actually created by His Royal Highness. I hope you, distinguished guest, will like all this. God praises you!"

  He put his hands on his chest, bowed his head, saluted Zhong Shi, and then quietly retreated.

   "Zhong, my friend, you are finally here!"

  In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Burj Al Arab, the well-dressed Prince Faisal was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding a glass of whiskey in his hand, waiting for Zhongshi leisurely. Seeing Zhong Shi enter the room, he raised the wine glass in his hand, looked towards the wine table on the side, and signaled Zhong Shi to go easy.

   "Wow, this is really..."

Zhong Shi poured himself a glass of whiskey, walked to the window and looked down, a piece of blue sea, like aquamarine agate, strongly impacted his eyeballs, from the air, the artificial earth island can be seen more clearly It turned out that Zhong Shi couldn't find words to describe this scenery in an instant.

   "Great! Miracle!" After a long while, Zhong Shi struggled to utter two words.

   "It is indeed a miracle!"

Prince Feisal smiled slightly. Zhongshi's reaction was not beyond his expectation, and the other party's compliment satisfied him even more, "Can you imagine it? Twenty years ago, this place was just a barren land, but Now it's one of the most developed regions in the entire world."

   "You and your government owe a lot to you for making this happen!"

  Zhong Shi took a sip of his wine, looked away and said calmly. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it only amazes him for a while, but these are dead things after all, and Zhong Shi clearly distinguishes them.

   "Too bad it all ran into trouble, big trouble!"

Prince Faisal sighed and said regretfully, "Since the financial crisis in the United States, the supply and demand relationship in the whole world has changed. People are no longer optimistic about everything built here. Although nothing has happened yet, there are more and more signs of divestment. It is becoming more and more obvious. Once the capital chain is broken, everything here will be unimaginable.”

  Following the direction of his finger, Zhong Shi squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. There was a towering building there, and the tower crane was still rotating slowly. It was obviously an unfinished building. This is the legendary 800-meter-tall tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa.

   "See, if there is no funds, it will become the laughing stock of the whole world, the biggest unfinished building!"

  Prince Feisal showed a heartbroken expression on his face, "Although we still have enough funds, we can't guarantee anything. But I think, since you are here, all this is no longer a problem!"

"I?"

  Zhong Shi pointed to his nose, dumbfounded, "You don't intend to involve me, do you? With my wealth, I don't have the ability to participate in such a large-scale infrastructure construction!"

"No, no, no, my friend, I have investigated you, and you have enough qualifications and financial resources to participate in the construction here." Feisal repeatedly denied, "My friend, God came to my best friend , are you going to live up to this friendship appointed by the prophet?"

   "Appointed by the Prophet?"

Looking at the whiskey in Prince Faisal's hand, Zhong Shi said sarcastically, "If I remember correctly, believers are forbidden to drink alcohol in the Koran. You are talking to me with a wine glass, isn't it a violation? The oracles of your prophets? This is funny, you did something against the teachings yourself, and you use it to convince me?"

"hey-hey."

Feisal snorted twice, drank the wine in his hand, then shook his head helplessly, and explained, "Since you know everything, then I won't hide it anymore. In fact, the so-called scriptures One set of sayings is just to deceive ordinary believers. For people like us, everything that is said in the scriptures is not a code of conduct. Besides, who would be really naive enough to believe a book that has been written for thousands of years? What did you say?"

   "That's not necessarily the case!" Zhong Shi was speechless for a while, and it took him a while to retort feebly.

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you on this issue, it's pointless, I know what I said won't impress you." Prince Feisal doesn't intend to continue to entangle on this issue either, " For those projects that have not been completed, you can choose one or more, as long as you like. We will discuss the specific shares, but I can guarantee that you will be very satisfied."

   "I said, I'm not interested!"

Zhong Shi was about to refuse again, but the next moment he thought of Gao Dongfang who was still waiting in another room, a thought suddenly came to his mind, "But I can introduce you to a benefactor, the real benefactor, although I don't know Is he interested, but I can guarantee that you are definitely interested in talking to him about financing."

   "So what do you want?"

Prince Faisal stared straight at Zhongshi, "I'm very interested in your proposal, but for a person like you, he will never do anything unprofitable. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

  He could see clearly, and after thinking about it for a while, he guessed Zhong Shi's purpose. But now he may have to ask someone else to make this deal, so he needs to listen to the other party's offer first.

   "Two conditions, the first is to allow me to sell the oil field on hand!" Zhong Shi said unhurriedly, "There is another condition, don't meddle in the affairs of the Porsche Group or the Volkswagen Group."

   "You even know this?"

Prince Feisal's expression changed, and he pondered for a while before slowly saying, "It seems that I really need to re-evaluate your energy. I can personally agree to these two conditions, but I still need to convince others , it won't be a big problem. Now, give what you can."

  As the founder of this city, Prince Faisal has great influence in talking about economic methods. What he said "I can promise you personally" is basically equivalent to agreeing to Zhongshi, but Zhongshi must give corresponding trading conditions.

   "Huatou, I don't know if you have heard of it, Huaxia's sovereign fund!"

Seeing that the problem was solved so smoothly, Zhong Shi showed a knowing smile on his face, "I came here this time to follow their general manager. I think, even if they are not interested in the infrastructure construction of Jibai, You have a lot to discuss, don't you?"

Prince Feisal thought for a moment, and a smile also appeared on his face, "Indeed, if he can represent the government, we do have a lot of things to discuss. The gentleman who came with you is the one you called The person in charge of Huatou?"

"right!"

  Zhong Shi walked towards the door, and joked as he walked, "This is the friendship that God has come to you, a true friend!"

   Thank you book friends for letting me think about it, alaphforce, Xiangsan Shenzhou, and Xingxiyuelang for voting monthly! I hope more book friends can vote more and support more, thank you~
