Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 490 Trip to the Middle East 1

Rachel Morgan did not agree to license the production of super sports cars to anyone. From now on, the car will only belong to her and Bao Zixuan. Many people saw that it was not possible to find Rachel Morgan, so they all thought of having a good chat with the richest man in Bao, even if it was to customize a car with similar performance. Austin Dupont had this idea, and she was already preparing to fly to Xiangjiang.

However, they were destined to be disappointed, and Bao Zixuan was now ready to leave Xiangjiang. It was useless even to go to Xiangjiang to find him. At this time, he came to the Middle East at the invitation of the two princes Hussein and Said. His first stop was also the location of the tank modification factory-Jordan. Knowing that it was safe to come here, there was no big problem, but it was still too dangerous to go directly to Iraq. Just knowing that her son was going to the Middle East still made Li Yulin worried for a long time.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, referred to as Jordan, is located in western Asia, northwest of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering Palestine and Israel to the west, Syria to the north, Iraq to the northeast, and Saudi Arabia to the southeast and south. Jordan is basically a landlocked country, with only a very small section of coast in the southwest near the Gulf of Aqaba.

Jordan was originally part of Palestine. At the beginning of the 7th century AD, it belonged to the territory of the Arab Empire. It belonged to the Ottoman Empire in 1517 AD. After World War I, it became a British Mandate. In 1921, Jordan was used as the boundary, with the west still called Palestine and the east called the Emirate of Transjordan. On March 22, 1946, Transjordan became independent. A constitutional monarchy was established.

Jordan is a relatively small Arab country, but compared with neighboring countries, Jordan's political, economic and cultural life are stable. People in Jordan live a relatively prosperous life and are relatively open among Islamic countries. Jordan is relatively short of fresh water resources and not rich in oil resources. Tourism is one of Jordan's pillar industries. Attractions such as the ancient city of Petra, the Dead Sea and Wadi Rum Desert have become the preferred destinations for adventure travel and leisure vacations for tourists from all over the world.

On May 20, 1982, Bao Zixuan arrived in Amman, the capital of Jordan, on a special plane. Dozens of outstanding German technical workers came with him. These senior technicians who had produced tanks at Rheinmetall were once again employed. They are very motivated when they are about to retire and can still create value for the company. It can be said that after bringing them out of Germany, Bao Zixuan took advantage of them almost to the extreme. Just as they said when they first joined Black Cloud, Rheinmetall made one of the most losing deals in the world.

Amman, the capital of Jordan, covers an area of ​​1,700 square kilometers and has a population of 4 million. It is a mountain city with a long history, located on 7 hills. Amman has a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. It is a city that combines tradition and modernity. In recent years, urban construction has developed rapidly and has expanded to 14 hills. The famous ones include Amman Mountain, Hussein Mountain and Levibod Mountain. It is an important commercial center, financial center and transportation center in the Middle and Near East. Amman is home to most of Jordan's industries, including factories for food, textiles, paper products, plastic products, aluminum utensils, cement, and tile making. The north-south railway running across the country passes here, and there is a modern highway to the west of the city leading to Jerusalem.

Heiyun Group's tank renovation plant in the Middle East is built in Jordan. After all, looking at the entire country, it is the only place that is more suitable. It relatively has some industrial foundation. If it is built elsewhere, the workers will probably be recruited from all over the world, and the cost will be as high as You doubt life.

Now it is a factory built in the name of a joint venture automobile factory, but Bao Zixuan knows that. In the next five years, only tanks and armored vehicles will be renovated here, and everything else will wait until the Iran-Iraq war is over.

Jordan can be said to be one of the most suitable places in the Middle East to set up a factory, but only relatively speaking. Although it is not stated explicitly, the entire Arab world is fully supporting Iraq at this time. After all, they have the same species. Iran is their common enemy; at this time, it is almost impossible to hide Iran's aspects of building a factory in Amman. At present, we can only hope that the Iranians will not be too extreme. They have already offended Argentina and are not too arrogant in offending another country. However, Bao Zixuan, who wanted to plant a minefield in the Middle East, no longer cared so much. Fortunately, on the surface, this factory had nothing to do with the Heiyun Group.

In fact, at the beginning of the factory construction, Bao Zixuan asked someone to register a company in the Cayman Islands. This is also the first time he has used this method, but it is not because he wants to save much tax, but mainly for safety reasons. If you really dare to hang up the Black Cloud sign here, then it would be strange if the Iranians don't retaliate against you. Even if the United States and the Soviet Union sold weapons to Iraq, they still had to transport them from their own countries, and the journey was very long. Now if you build an arsenal directly next to Iraq to support its operations, how many Iranians will die under refurbished and repaired weapons.

Another point is that they don’t want the United States and the Soviet Union to know that the Black Cloud Group is helping to establish a military-industrial system in the Middle East, although this is already an open secret. But at least it was still possible on the surface, especially now that old weapons still needed to be obtained from Soviet warehouses. Bao Zixuan didn't want to involve Hei Yun in this matter.

As soon as he got off the plane, he saw two princes, Hussein and Said, already waiting for him on the tarmac.

Bao Zixuan felt very amused when he saw both of them wearing Arab robes. It seems that this is their true appearance. In the past, the clothes they wore abroad or in Hong Kong always felt unnatural, and now I finally found the reason.

In fact, what was even more shocking today was the airport staff. They were not notified that foreign leaders were coming to visit. But they were all very curious about who the two princes could come to greet at the same time.

As cell phones and cell towers became more widespread, the two became instant stars in the Middle East. Oil resources belong to everyone, and they will eventually be exhausted. But the mobile phone business is one that can last longer. This is a project that you don’t have to worry about not benefiting from in the future, so many people want to curry favor with you two. If these two people in the Middle East want to curry favor with each other, if they come together to greet someone, then this person's status, weight, and wealth will be terrifying.

Said: "Welcome to Jordan, my friend. In the past few days, I want to fully appreciate the scenery of our Jordan, so that Hussein and I can also fulfill our friendship as landlords."

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to greet me in person. How is the construction of our factory going?"

Hussein: "Bao, my friend. You just came here, let's talk in the car!"

Then he said with a smile: "You lose, Said. When I said Bao came over, I would definitely ask about the factory situation first. Sure enough, as the outside world said, the richest man in Xiangjiang Bao is a workaholic."

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "You still use me to bet, that's too much." After that, he followed the two of them towards the car.

It can be said that the two arrangements were very good this time, and the vehicles that came to pick them up were all made by Heiyun. Bao Zixuan was riding in the Cavalier XV, the same model he drove in Xiangjiang, and it was Said who drove Bao Zixuan himself to his residence. As for other engineers and technical workers, we have arranged for people to be sent to the hotel. You can say that I am picky in terms of hospitality.

Sitting in the car, Bao Zixuan looked at the people walking on both sides of the street. The girls here were all covered with veils or face scarves. You can't see what they look like at all, but this is their tradition.

In order to find topics, Bao Zixuan could only talk about issues related to the Middle East. It would be a waste of people's good intentions to talk about work directly like at the airport.

Bao Zixuan: "Hussein, why do all the girls here wear headscarves, and only their eyes are exposed?"

In fact, this was a deliberate search for a topic, just to make the two of them feel that Bao Zixuan didn't know everything, and they could also tell Bao Zixuan some unknown knowledge and get closer to each other.

Hussein: "In Islamic teachings, all decorations of a woman are only for her husband, and not to dress up in public. Exposing a woman's curves and beauty is an evil temptation and may lead to sexual sin. Therefore, Muslims Women’s wearing of veils and burkas is not only a symbol of purity, chastity and social ethics, but also an important symbol of belief in Islam and maintenance of religious order.”

Bao Zixuan: "Also, what if I accidentally take off their headscarf!"

At this time, Said smiled and said: "If you are an unmarried girl, then I would like to congratulate you. According to the teachings, you have to be responsible for others; I really hope you can find your wife in Jordan."

"If you are a married woman, I suggest you be careful. That will bring serious consequences, and we will not be able to intervene."

Although I know a little bit, I heard that the royal family members are not willing to interfere, which proves that the document issue is very serious. It seems that we really need to pay attention, not only to ourselves, but also to the Heiyun engineers and technical workers working in the Middle East.
