Chapter 1098 The richest in the Middle East

The State of Kuwait, commonly known as Kuwait, is a constitutional monarchy located in the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula and the northwest of the Persian Gulf in West Asia. It borders Saudi Arabia in the south and Iraq in the north. It faces Iran across the sea, and its capital Kuwait City is directly connected to the country.

The name of the country has the same name.

Kuwait is rich in oil and natural gas reserves, with proven oil reserves of 14 billion tons, ranking seventh in the world. Natural gas reserves are 1.78 trillion cubic meters, ranking 18th in the world.

Kuwait's climate is not conducive to agriculture, and almost all agricultural products need to be imported. The country has begun to develop a diverse economy and reduce its dependence on oil. It has also promoted Kuwait's development in energy, railways, power grid integration, infrastructure construction, communications and new urban construction.

development in the field, and is committed to building Kuwait into a financial and trade center in the Gulf region.

After negotiating with three important figures in Israel, Bao Zixuan led his team to this country, the richest country per capita in the Middle East.

For a country with a population of only 3 million and so much energy, it is difficult to be rich or not. But Kuwait paid enough attention to Bao Zixuan's arrival. Even though they are rich, in front of the man with the most wealth in the world

, still can’t be too arrogant.

The Emir of Kuwait, Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, personally went to the airport to greet him. Employees from Heiyun Group are used to this. Now they are inspecting with their boss, and they have the feeling of accompanying the head of state on a visit. No matter

Wherever he went, he was greeted personally by major political figures from various countries and even heads of state.

At the last press conference, a reporter asked if Bao Zixuan would inspect Kuwait. The answer was affirmative, but they just said that no one had invited them. Of course, the Kuwaiti diplomatic department could not let go of this opportunity, so it sent an invitation to Heiyun Group that day.

invite.

Bao Zixuan also responded immediately, saying that he would go to Kuwait during his recent inspection of the Middle East, and he would also visit Kuwait as a major country. Due to the war, Iraq’s national funds are not very abundant; Saudi Arabia is currently engaged in construction, and funds are also very tight. As another country in the Middle East,

Among the major oil-producing countries, Kuwait is definitely the most cash-rich country, and not one of them.

Seeing the Emir of Kuwait personally greeting him, Bao Zixuan didn't dare to complain. After all, respect is mutual, so that everyone can cooperate for a longer time.

And we know that this emir is a long-lived man, reigning for nearly 30 years. Moreover, later generations have experienced overseas wars, left the country for a period of time, and returned to serve as king. It can be seen that in the hearts of the Kuwaiti people, he is definitely very popular.

Love.

Jaber Ahmed Al-Jaber Sabah smiled and said: "Welcome friends from afar. I have long been looking forward to Mr. Bao's arrival, but there has never been a suitable opportunity. But it is not too late now; Kuwait is a

A very hospitable country that will definitely leave a deep impression on Mr. Bao and the Black Cloud team.”

Seeing this king, who could also be said to be the emir, Bao Zixuan finally understood why Iraq wanted them to take action.

Historical reasons are one of them. More importantly, judging from his appearance, this old man is quite easy to talk to and does not have the domineering air to dominate the world.

Historically, the word "emirate" was once used as "the country of the emirs". However, the "emirates" of that period often had to surrender to the caliphate or sultanate, which was a subordinate status and their rights were restricted. But in

In contemporary times, each "emirate" is a sovereign country that exercises sovereignty independently, so they no longer use "emirate" to refer to their own regimes.

Historically, Kuwait has indeed surrendered to Iraq, and the Kuwaiti royal family is not tough enough, so of course it will be bullied. It is not difficult to understand why a loser would attack them.

The seven countries of the United Arab Emirates do not have independent sovereignty and are all members of the federation. Therefore, the use of the word "emirate" is still retained. The strict literal meaning of the UAE is "the union of some small Arab regimes". Therefore, to this day

, the heads of the seven emirates are still called "chief" instead of "emir". Of course, it is still difficult for Bao Zixuan to add the word "female" in front of the chief.

I recently returned to the hotel in the evening and studied the history of the Middle East. I used to think of things too simply and the solution was too crude. Now I think about dealing with other Arab countries, which is okay, but when it comes to the other six emirates, the difficulty is not that great.

To be able to live in peace, no one is willing to use force. It is not only a matter of cost, but also requires a justifiable name, so that it can be sustainable internationally.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "His Majesty the King is too polite. In fact, Heiyun Group has long wanted to come to Kuwait for inspection, but there has never been a suitable opportunity before. But as you said, it is not too late now; after all, there was no such opportunity before.

Especially suitable for Kuwaiti products.”

"I'm worried that your country won't like it. Now Heiyun Group has developed many high-quality products. I believe they can meet the needs of the Kuwaiti people."

Kuwait is about the same size as Huaxia Mountain City, and the overall environment is similar. There is no need for detailed inspection. Where there are resources, people have already completed the survey, and the oil production equipment is definitely the latest in the world.

Of course, in the previous life, Kuwait's oil production equipment was too advanced, which made Iraq very unhappy. Oil is a liquid resource, and it can flow underground. Although it is not as obvious as water, it can still move. Kuwait's oil production equipment is advanced, and oil extraction is faster.

Most of the funds in Iraq are used to purchase weapons, resulting in a serious lack of funds for the maintenance and update of oil production equipment.

After the oil exploration in Kuwait is completed, the oil previously in Iraq will definitely flow to places with space; a lot of it will flow into Kuwait. You can't say that Kuwait secretly exploited Iraqi oil resources. After all, they are extracting oil locally. As for the flow of underground oil

, no one can control it.

Therefore, if you want to invest in energy in Kuwait, there is no chance at all. They don’t lack your money, so they can only sell products to Kuwait. The current suitable one is definitely sodium metal solar power generation equipment. The entire Middle East is short of electricity, and Kuwait certainly doesn’t.

Exception. Moreover, the country's oil extraction pollution is already very serious. If all power shortages are met by thermal power generation, Kuwait's sky will no longer be blue.

Seeing a row of Heiyun cars appearing in front of him, there was also a customized Bentley in the middle. Bao Zixuan knew that it was a special arrangement, but it was not necessary at all. However, it was hard to say anything about the arrangement.

The Kuwaiti royal family has a mediocre presence in the Middle East; although it has a lot of money, the country's economic strength and oil reserves are not as good as those of Saudi Arabia. In terms of pedigree, it is still worse than Jordan. And because of historical reasons, the entire country is not that public.

Although the airport is not very far from the palace, it is still a long way away. In fact, it is for safety reasons. If the distance is too close, if a country invades Kuwait and directly occupies the airport, the royal family will not even have a chance to respond.

Sitting in the car, I saw that most of the people working on both sides of the street were outsiders. But at the same time, Bao Zixuan also knew that this country was very exclusive and it was possible to make money; but it was almost impossible to become a Kuwaiti citizen.

So far, none of the immigrants has been able to obtain Kuwaiti nationality and receive the benefits that Kuwaiti citizens can enjoy. According to the 1962 Kuwaiti Constitution, only those whose ancestors have settled in Kuwait since 1920 are eligible to become Kuwaiti citizens with full rights.

Once you become a citizen of Kuwait, you will have countless privileges and benefits. However, the Kuwaiti government does not intend to expand the circle of people who can obtain the country’s nationality and benefits.

But oil was not discovered before 1920, and it was still under colonial rule. If not crazy, who would move their home to a Middle Eastern country where the maximum temperature exceeds 50 degrees and there is a serious lack of water.

The King of Kuwait is still a good talker, and in fact, he also needs to follow the communication. If he is an ordinary person, he does not have so much free time.

King Jaber smiled and said: "What is Mr. Bao's impression of Kuwait?"

This was obviously casual chatting, but it was normal; the two parties were not very familiar with each other yet, so it would be too abrupt to jump right into the topic.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I have never been to Kuwait before, and this is my first time. But I have already felt the enthusiasm of His Majesty the King and the Kuwaiti people."

"I have heard before that the people of Kuwait are hospitable and love peace. Although Heiyun Group can produce the most advanced weapons and equipment, I personally hate war. There are many ways to make money, and I will still be very rich if I don't produce weapons and equipment.

It’s just that sometimes there is no other way to protect yourself.”

"I believe the same is true in Kuwait. After all, wealth has reached the point where people are jealous; the ability and strength to protect wealth become particularly important."

Bao Zixuan's words made King Jaber deep in thought; if outsiders can understand things, why can't members of the royal family understand it?
