Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth
Chapter 1470: Court Drama Maker
It didn't take long for the convoy to arrive at Doha, the capital of Qatar. From here, it is not difficult to see that Qatar is not a very big country.
Doha is the capital and largest city of the West Asian country of Qatar. It is also a famous port on the coast of the Persian Gulf. It is an international metropolis; the largest city in Qatar, the political, economic, cultural, and transportation center.
Known for being rich in oil and natural gas, it has become the economic lifeline of Qatar. Many oil and gas companies are headquartered in Doha. Since Qatar's economic lifeline is based on oil and natural gas, the Qatari People's Government hopes to diversify their economy.
In fact, Doha was originally a fishing port and a port for pearling ships. After World War II, it prospered with the development of the country's oil industry. It has built a deep-water port, a desalination plant, a plastics factory, a steel plant, a power station and an international airport.
Many of the residents are oil field workers.
At this stage, when investing in Qatar, Doha is probably fine; as for other places, forget it! Half of the country’s people live here, which also reflects Doha’s important position in the entire country.
The motorcade went directly to the palace, where the Emir Khalifa of Qatar was already waiting for him.
Seeing this emir, Richest Man Bao was still very curious deep down. After all, this might be the favorite king of Hollywood directors. Although it is not very legendary, what happened to him was definitely very bloody.
The palace coup drama adds many creative elements.
In 1971, Qatar gained independence from the British; a year later, Khalifa, then deputy emir, launched a palace coup and transformed himself from a tribal chief to the emir.
During his reign, it was the beginning of the large-scale industrial development of Western countries; they were highly dependent on oil. Relying on the rich oil and natural gas resources, Qatar became a country of rich people.
In order to enjoy a luxurious life, Khalifa announced that all oil and natural gas would be nationalized. This aroused dissatisfaction from other tribes. Since then, domestic protests have continued, but they have been suppressed by force.
After living a life of great wealth, Khalifa contracted the common problem of feudal mediocre kings - being content with the status quo and pursuing pleasure.
He began to go to Europe frequently for vacations and lived a life of debauchery and luxury, leaving daily government affairs to Crown Prince Hamad.
Khalifa, who relied on a coup to ascend to the throne, would never have imagined that more than 20 years later, history would repeat itself. But this time he was a loser, and his son succeeded in taking his place.
In June 1995, as in previous years, the old king called his son Hamad to take charge of military affairs and prepared to fly to Geneva for a summer vacation.
The son stood beside his father and respectfully recorded the matters that needed to be dealt with. On the surface, he was calm. But inside, he was restless because he was planning a big event - to replace his father while he was on vacation abroad.
After the luggage was prepared, the old king arrived at the airport under the escort of everyone. When Khalifa boarded the plane, his son and a group of subordinates stood under the plane and waved goodbye. They watched the old king's back and silently said goodbye in their hearts:
"Goodbye, Amir Khalifa".
The door closed and the rumble of the aircraft engine sounded the death knell of the Khalifa dynasty.
Before the official event, the crown prince had made complete preparations. He first used his military power to control the main departments of the country, then won over a large number of tribal members who were dissatisfied with the monarchy, and won the support of most government officials. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, haha
On the day his father left, Mader summoned military and political officials and announced that he would immediately replace his father as the emir.
When the coup order was announced, the few who had objections were either dismissed from their posts, or saw that the strong and determined army had completely surrendered to the crown prince. They could only agree and pass it. The entire domestic power transfer process was very smooth and smooth.
The new government decree was issued, the new official positions were announced, and everything settled; Hamad called his father's phone number in his villa in Geneva. The old father did not feel anything strange before departure, and still closed his eyes and rested on the plane. The plane landed.
Afterwards, I settled into the holiday villa leisurely, and then sat on the balcony, breathing the humid air and admiring the greenery in the courtyard.
The rapid ringing of the phone broke this quiet scene of years, and the servant conveyed that the call was from the Crown Prince from Qatar. He felt warm in his heart, and thought it was his son who came to care about him and how hard it was for him to travel a long distance, but the other person's words were like cold water.
Back, making him furious.
On the other end of the phone, the crown prince conveyed his accession to the throne in a notifying tone: "Father, I have a peaceful vacation. Today I have announced that officials and people at all levels will replace my father as the new emir."
Everyone behaved the same way when faced with bad news. Khalifa first thought it was false news he heard in his dream; then he became so angry that he was filled with rage, and finally the overwhelming news made him accept the reality.
After calming down, he informed his entourage to book a ticket and return to the country to save the situation; only to find out that his son was decisive and froze all his accounts. The king who used to spend money like water was now penniless and unable to move around, so he could only stay in Geneva.
There was no armed conflict and no bloodshed; Qatar's coup to usurp the throne seemed to succeed overnight.
In fact, if you want to cooperate, it is more reliable to negotiate with the crown prince. Khalifa's idea of centralization is already a thing of the past, and the continuous outbreak of protests among the people proves that the country needs to reform and achieve democracy; but the old king advocates absolute power and refuses to delegate power.
Economically, the young prince proposed that oil and natural gas are non-renewable resources; one day the country's economy will become poor again due to resource depletion, and it is necessary to develop a diversified economy; refer to Europe and the United States to develop modern industries and establish new pillar industries.
The old king adhered to a conservative development strategy and refused to introduce successful foreign experiences. Focusing on immediate enjoyment, he turned a deaf ear to these proposals. Looking internationally, although Qatar is very rich, it is not a developed country. Because the evaluation criteria of developed countries require advanced industrial technology
and advanced technology, Qatar is lagging behind in these two aspects, which makes the young crown prince indignant; he is determined to instill in his father the way to become a powerful country.
Therefore, Khalifa was not very enthusiastic about meeting Bao Zixuan. In his mind, when foreigners come to invest, they must want to make money from Qatar. But if foreigners do not come, they will simply rely on Qatar’s own strength; even if they have money,
But without technology, it is not that easy to develop.
Khalifa just said politely: "Hello, Mr. Bao; welcome to Qatar!"
There was nothing more to say after that. Listening to the tone and looking at the expression, one could tell that the arrival of Mr. Bao was not that welcoming.
But Bao Zixuan is no longer the novice he was when he first started doing business, and he has met with dignitaries from many countries. He is not angry because of this trivial matter, so he smiled and said: "Hello! Your Majesty, I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have always heard of you.
I have no chance to meet you. It is my honor to meet you today."
It stands to reason that Bao Zixuan's performance is low-key enough, even a little inconsistent with his status. If you are familiar with it, you must be surprised, is the person in front of you Bao Zixuan himself?
But the king felt nothing. He only thought that the other party was a businessman who wanted to make money from Qatar; he was no different from anyone else.
Khalifa: "Although Mr. Bao is young, it is good to have this kind of insight. Heiyun Group is a good company and can definitely do business with Qatar."
Hearing what his father said, Hamad was speechless for a while. As the world's number one industrial enterprise, Heiyun Group was actually said to be good in his eyes. It was finally invited, but in order to enhance Qatar's industrial strength;
Come and invest. With Bao Zixuan’s identity and status, not everyone can invite you here.
There are many countries in the Middle East that want to invite people; being able to come to Qatar is a huge honor. But now he is only the crown prince; when the country has major decisions, it is still up to his father to decide. Therefore, he can only worry and think about it in private.
Let me explain it to Bao Zixuan.
Unexpectedly, Bao Zixuan was not angry, but said with a smile: "Thank you for your majesty's recognition. Qatar is a wealthy country; no businessman will give up this opportunity."
After Bao Zixuan finished speaking, Hamad felt incredible. No wonder he was able to succeed. Even though he was young, he was definitely rich. He could even reach the point where he could not express his emotions and anger, which he might not even be able to do.
If you really need to have more contact with such people, you will definitely learn a lot.
It can be said that the two people are not talking to each other, but Bao Shaofu can still chat for more than an hour. Without profound skills, he will never be able to do this.
Khalifa has stated that Heiyun Group can come to Qatar to do business. This can be considered a gain. After all, ordinary companies are still looked down upon.
Maybe he knew something, or maybe it was Bao Zixuan's performance that he was very satisfied with. He still gave him face and had dinner with the richest man Bao at the palace; it was not easy for this king.
