Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Since it is an opportunity, you cannot let it go. The children of the Saudi royal family cannot just be national parasites, at least his son should not be like this. Prince Sultan seemed to have made up his mind. It didn't matter if his son took risks.

Although the current Saudi royal family is not as exaggerated as later generations, it has 5,000 princes. But there are definitely more than a thousand children, so many people must find one to inherit the throne; but currently no prince is particularly outstanding. Fortunately, Saudi Arabia adopts the succession method of brother to brother. The older generation members are still there, and the next generation has no chance at all. But people always get old one day. Although members of the royal family have good medical conditions, their life span is ultimately limited.

Bao Zixuan proposed that Saudi Arabia send a prince to China for negotiations, and it must not be of their generation. No matter what, this guy still sees things very clearly. Success is gratifying and congratulatory, but failure will not only ruin your own future; it may even affect your family. In order to appease Americans, it is impossible to have rights anymore, and in serious cases, you may even go to jail.

It is inappropriate to let anyone else's child pass at this time. You must know that he is in charge of many things. His eldest son Bandar is a very suitable candidate, as if this matter was tailor-made for him.

Now that he had made up his mind, Prince Sultan did not hesitate at all. I picked up the phone directly and called home. The meaning is obvious, let Bandar come over immediately. And also keep a low profile, at least pay attention to confidentiality.

The Saudi royal family certainly knows how many spies the CIA has in Riyadh. But at present, we don’t have the capital to fall out with the Americans, so we have to endure some things. As long as you are strong, everything will be easy to handle, otherwise you will only be at the mercy of others.

Prince Bandar bin Sultan is the eldest son of Saudi Arabia's First Deputy Prime Minister Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz. He was born in Taif. His mother was not the first wife, but according to Shari'a law, all sons of a parent should be treated equally, so Bandar received a good modern education. Under his father's arrangement, he married his cousin, Haifa Bint Faisal.

Bandar bin Sultan attended the Royal Air Force Academy at Cranwell in the United Kingdom and served as a lieutenant in the Royal Saudi Air Force for 17 years. In the Air Force he was a fighter pilot and flew many types of aircraft. Bandar later received flight training at Maxwell Air Force Base in the United States. In addition to his military courses, he earned a degree in international public policy from the Paul H. Nitze School of Johns Hopkins University.

Prince Bandar's diplomatic career began in 1978, when he successfully persuaded the U.S. Congress to sell F-15 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia. In 1983, he was appointed as the ambassador of Saudi Arabia to the United States; among the second generation of Saudi princes, he is definitely a very capable and accomplished figure.

Otherwise, the previous king would not have married his daughter to him. In the Saudi royal family, it is normal for close relatives to marry. It doesn't matter if outsiders don't understand this, but this is their tradition.

It turns out that Prince Bandar should be in the United States. After all, his current position is Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States. It’s just in time to return to China to report on my work, so it’s no coincidence that the book is written!

Of course he understood what his father meant when he called him over so late. He must have wanted to introduce Bao Zixuan to him, which showed that in his father's eyes, his position was becoming more and more important.

There are so many Saudi princes, although most of them are uneducated and unskilled. But there are still some people who want to make a difference, and Bandar is one of them. You can't do it on your own. Without the support of your parents, it's difficult to get things done. After all, few people in the world have the ability to be the richest man in Xiangjiang. Bandar has lived and worked in the United States for many years and has great admiration for Bao Zixuan.

It's just that there have been no opportunities to meet and cooperate before. By the time he served as Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, Bao Zixuan had completed his studies and returned to Xiangjiang to take charge of the company. The last time Bao Zixuan came to Saudi Arabia, he was in the United States, so the two never met.

Returning to Saudi Arabia this time made Prince Bandar feel incredible. On the one hand, many foreign workers have come here, but more importantly, the country knows how to develop industry and agriculture. This is an amazing achievement.

The impression that Saudi Arabia has left on people before, apart from selling oil and natural gas, is that princes and princesses show off their wealth and compete with each other. There is no vitality in the country at all, which at least makes Bandar, who often lives in the United States, feel embarrassed and very uncomfortable inside. Now that we have oil, we can still do this. What will Saudi Arabia do once the oil is extracted?

There are so many members of the royal family, which seriously consumes the country's financial resources. But other people's words are light and their weight is not enough. Moreover, he would not do such offending work. Not only would that cause trouble for himself, it would also make his father hate him.

The eldest son was not born to his first wife, which already made his status very embarrassing; therefore, working conscientiously was the best option, but he did not dare to make any mistakes.

Now that the entire country has changed because of one person's investment, Bandar is becoming more and more curious about Bao Zixuan. What kind of magic power does this man who is 9 years younger than him have? It is really incredible that the king, crown prince, and father can trust him so much. But thinking about the other party's achievements, Bandar really couldn't find anything wrong with him.

Even the first generation founders of the Rockefeller and Morgan families may not have achieved such success at the age of 26.

Soon, Prince Bandar came to the suburban villa wearing a suit. Seeing such clothes, Prince Sultan was a little angry at first, but he immediately showed happiness.

I was angry because when I returned to Saudi Arabia, I dared to dress like I did in the United States. I am happy because it is not easy to be discovered. From the perspective of Americans, the Saudi princes are crazy outside. But when I return to China, I keep a very low profile and pay special attention to clothing.

They all want to leave a good impression on their parents, after all, it is about personal interests. Without the support of his parents, it is almost impossible to maintain a luxurious life. At present, there is really no member of the royal family who dares to dress like this in the country. It seems that Bandar has made careful preparations and knows how to assess the situation.

After Prince Sultan introduced the two of them, Bandar said with a smile: "I have heard of Mr. Bao's name for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet him. When I went to the United States as ambassador, you had already returned to Xiangjiang. The last time you came to Saudi Arabia , just in time for me to be in the United States."

"In the past two years in the United States, I have often heard stories about Heiyun Group and Xiangjiang Bao. Although I am a few years older, I still have a lot to learn from you."

His father asked him to come over, it must be to let him make connections. Although the words were very low-key, no one would think that he was deliberately belittling himself. It’s okay to show humility when it comes to people who are stronger than you. It is difficult for people who are not very capable and have a bad temper to be recognized and entrusted with important responsibilities.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Prince Bandar is too polite. I have heard of your glorious deeds for a long time. I heard that you are not only an excellent fighter pilot, but also a top student at Johns Hopkins University. And being able to persuade the U.S. government to sell F-15 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia is an extraordinary achievement in the diplomatic field. It's just that his status as a prince has erased these halos."

"The world is like this. If a person comes from a good background, then his outstanding achievements will be taken for granted. It's not like me, who grew up in a single-parent family in Hong Kong. If he achieves even a little achievement, he will be praised by the world. In fact, everyone Don’t even think about it, sometimes one’s background and connections are also another showcase of one’s strength.”

"It's true that you have a high starting point and have high requirements for your grades. But you can't ask for too much; do all members of the royal family have to be compared with the first generation of founding monarchs? No matter how good you are, the world still feels that you are far behind. .”

Bao Zixuan's words made Prince Bandar feel the same, and he even felt like he had found a soulmate.

In fact, not only Prince Bandar, but also his father, Prince Sultan. The old man believes that his ability is not weak, otherwise he would not be directly responsible for the Saudi army. But even though they are trying hard, the Chinese people still feel that they are far behind their fathers. This kid sees things more clearly than he does at certain times.

Prince Sultan said with a smile: "Mr. Bao sees things very clearly. This makes us very happy."

"But Bandar can't feel great just because others say you are good or good. You have to work hard and take one step at a time. Although you have achieved some results, they are not enough. You have lived in Europe and the United States for many years, and you should We know the gap between Saudi Arabia and foreign countries. We must face things bravely, adhere to principles, and safeguard national interests.”

Bao Zixuan felt something was wrong, as if he was educating his son. There were only four people in the study at this time, Prince Sultan, Prince Bandar, Princess Ayesha; and of course him. The other two are the old man's children. It's normal to listen to the lectures, so what kind of person has he become?
