Chapter 689 A little selfish

Dubai International Airport is the main airport in the emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is also the base airport of Emirates Airlines. It can take off and land all types of aircraft currently flying internationally, including A380 passenger aircraft. It is also home to Kuwait Airways and Ataniya Telecom Airlines, Hong Kong

Kowloon Airlines' hub airport has more than 5,600 flights from more than 120 airlines every week to more than 200 destinations in North and South America, Europe, South America, Asia, Oceania and Africa.

, is the ninth largest aviation airport in the world.

The private business jet of Shi Wenli, the major shareholder and chairman of Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd., landed here. As soon as Shi Wenli stepped out of the cabin door, a heat wave hit his face. Although it was November, Dubai

The highest temperature during the day can still reach 30 degrees, which is really difficult for Shi Wenli to adapt to when it is still freezing and snowing when he gets on the plane. Shi Wenli frowned, he didn't like this feeling very much.

"Chairman, Mr. Fang is waiting for you under the gangway?" the assistant reminded from behind. Although there is an awning on the apron, it is certainly not very cool.

"Oh!" Shi Wenli then noticed that under the airplane ramp, Fang Mingyuan, accompanied by several people, was looking at him with a smile, and hurriedly walked down the ramp.

"Chairman Shi came all the way, thank you for your hard work!" Fang Mingyuan took the hand he extended and said with a smile, "You're not used to the temperature here, are you? It's not winter here, it's just like the summer here. Not here.

Let's talk, get in the car." Although there is air-conditioning under the awning, it is still very uncomfortable since it is unobstructed.

Shi Wenli followed Fang Mingyuan into a Rolls-Royce. The comfortable temperature in the car lifted his spirits. His eyes fell on Angelina sitting next to Fang Mingyuan. Fang Mingyuan said knowingly: "Let me introduce you.

This is Miss Angelina Marshall Ruger Anderson Welf, my new assistant."

"Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!" Shi Wenli said with a smile, "Young Master Fang really never treats his eyes badly no matter where he goes. I can be considered a blessing." He is also a man who has experienced many ups and downs and has a sharp eye.

That was quite vicious, and it was obvious that Angelina was not from an ordinary family, and her temperament could not be cultivated by an ordinary family.

"Thank you, Chairman Shi, for the compliment." Angelina said with a smile. Her smooth accent also made Shi Wenli admire her. How could a foreign woman speak so well without having stayed in China for a long time?

Is this good?

"Chairman Shi must be a little tired all the way here. I have arranged a presidential suite at the Burj Al Arab Hotel. Chairman Shi and his party, should we rest first?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "I wonder if Chairman Shi will have dinner when he arrives in Dubai.

Want to change your taste? Here in Dubai, you can find delicious food from all over the world.”

"Young Master Fang, you're welcome. I'm just a guest. I'll enjoy whatever Mr. Fang arranges. But I trust Mr. Fang's taste and won't treat me badly." Shi Wenli said with a smile, "As for the rest, forget it.

Although my business jet is far more luxurious than Fang Shao, basic rest can still be guaranteed. I am eager to know now, what exactly is the big deal Mr. Fang is talking about?" He didn't.

Thousands of miles away, I flew here from Sanshan City just because Fang Mingyuan said there was a big deal here and asked him if he had any intention of cooperation.

Shi Wenli and Fang Mingyuan have known each other for many years. They worked together to rectify the Football Association and were the main force in promoting the changes in the Football Association. However, although the two sides have always been in contact, Sanshan Football Team and Qinxi Airlines Football Team

They are also old rivals in the league, but there is no real large-scale cooperation between the two parties. Shi Wenli has always wanted to cooperate with Fang Mingyuan, not to mention those who cooperate with Fang Mingyuan have not suffered a loss, just becoming Fang Mingyuan

This aspect of partners has many benefits for Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd.'s business diversification.

Fang Mingyuan laughed dumbly and said: "Since it was Chairman Shi who requested it, let's talk about it. Chairman Shi must have heard about it, too, about Hong Kong's Baifusheng Investment Company's participation in Burj Khalifa World Company?"

"I heard that, I have to admit, Mr. Fang, you are a very courageous person!" Shi Wenli said with deep emotion. Burj Khalifa World Company has debts of nearly 60 billion U.S. dollars, which is nearly 4,000 U.S. dollars converted into Chinese dollars.

Billion yuan, such a terrifying debt is an extremely heavy burden not only for an individual or a family, but also for many countries around the world. And now that the economic crisis has emerged, Dubai's economy has also seen an obvious decline.

Under such circumstances, Fang Mingyuan actually dared to take the initiative to jump into the pit of Burj World Company... Shi Wenli was really impressed.

"I'm not worthy of Chairman Shi's praise. I'm just forced here. I can't watch Dubai's economy collapse like this." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Dubai's economy is developing rapidly, and the real estate industry also plays a very important role in it.

Important role. Due to the financial crisis triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis, there are nearly 400 projects in Dubai involving nearly 300 billion U.S. dollars of investment. Due to various reasons, construction and sales have stalled. As far as I know, there are still

Several projects are being constructed by subsidiaries of Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. Chairman Shi must have some understanding of the current situation in Dubai."

Shi Wenli nodded. It was indeed as Fang Mingyuan said. Whether it was because of the company's business or because he came here this time, he had done some homework on the current situation in Dubai, and he still understood the general situation in Dubai.

"It is absolutely impossible to say that these projects are all high-quality projects, but it is also impossible to say that they are all unfinished projects not worth mentioning. It is just because they cannot be recovered in a short time.

Funds, and the reluctance of financial institutions to lend money has broken the capital chain of these projects, so they have to stop work or become unfinished projects." Fang Mingyuan said, "I asked Chairman Shi to come here because I want to cooperate with Chairman Shi.

Find out the essence and continue construction. I wonder if Chairman Shi is interested?"

Shi Wenli's eyes lit up. Before coming to Dubai, he had seriously considered where Fang Mingyuan might cooperate with him. He felt that the most likely one was real estate projects. After all, this was also the Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd.

The company's main business. In the past two years, the most famous projects in Dubai and the projects that attracted the most attention from the world were all real estate projects with huge investments that definitely attracted the attention of the world.

Fang Mingyuan said: "For example, the Dubai World Center International Airport, a project under construction by Burj Khalifa World Company, is located in the heart of Dubai World Center..."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Fang, are you talking about the project that is said to have a total investment of more than 30 billion US dollars?" Shi Wenli shouted in surprise.

“The total investment exceeds US$30 billion, which includes the total investment costs of other parks in Dubai World Center. In addition to Dubai World Center International Airport, there are also logistics parks, supporting living areas, business parks, leisure and entertainment areas and commercial exhibitions.

District and seven other parks. How can it be possible to spend so much money on just the Dubai World Center International Airport?" Fang Mingyuan explained, "The future Dubai World Center will be an airport city, and the Dubai World Center International Airport is its heart.

It will also be at least the largest airport in the Middle East in the future. It can accommodate the take-off and landing of all types of aircraft, can handle the take-off and landing of multiple aircraft at the same time, and is open 24 hours a day to meet the needs of airlines."

Shi Wenli's face felt a little hot. When he heard it was Dubai World Center, he subconsciously thought of the money-burning project that made the world think Dubai was too rich. It covers an area of ​​140 kilometers, exceeding the main urban area of ​​Paris, the capital of France.

area, with an investment of more than 30 billion US dollars. In a place like the Middle East, where the desert area is much larger than the oasis area, and sandstorms visit from time to time, the construction of such a large-scale project is really heartbreaking.

"Now the Dubai World Center International Airport has begun to take shape, and about 50% of the total construction tasks have been completed. A runway that can accommodate the takeoff and landing of the A380 passenger aircraft has been completed. The runway testing is ongoing and is expected to be completed in March or April next year.

It will be open for use in September for cargo aircraft to take off and land. It is initially estimated that the annual cargo throughput capacity will be more than 200,000 tons, and will gradually increase the annual cargo throughput capacity to more than 4.2 million tons. The built ancillary facilities include six

Fourteen parking spaces, an air traffic control tower built with the latest technology, a fire protection center, a field maintenance service center, an aviation fuel depot and a terminal building with an area of ​​60,000 square meters. The passenger part of the airport will be developed in the following years.

It is being completed and opened one after another. Its designed annual passenger throughput is 1.6 billion passengers. This number is obviously a bit high. Fortunately, it is constructed in phases and can be adjusted according to the actual situation. In this way, the actual construction funds needed can be

First, cut off a considerable part. The Dubai International Airport just now will be decommissioned for upgrading and reconstruction after the Dubai World Central International Airport is completed and opened. The current annual passenger throughput of Dubai International Airport has exceeded 4,600

Ten thousand people, so the source of passengers at Dubai World Central International Airport is still guaranteed..." Fang Mingyuan said eloquently.

Shi Wenli listened attentively and asked some questions from time to time. Soon the car stopped and Shi Wenli realized that he had arrived in front of the Burj Al Arab Hotel.

Real estate is the main business of Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. It can be said that it has built countless buildings over the years. However, when he saw the Burj Al Arab Hotel, even though it was not his first time, Shi Wenli could not help but sigh at its beauty. In service

With the attentive service of the staff, the group entered the presidential suite of the Burj Al Arab Hotel. Shi Wenli's escorts were busy placing items, and Fang Mingyuan and Shi Wenli sat down in the living room.

"By the way, where does Mr. Fang live? Is it also in this sailing hotel?" Shi Wenli asked with a smile.

"No, I have another place to live. This suite is at my disposal, so Chairman Shi can just stay there." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. He usually stayed in the palace arranged for him by Maktoum in Dubai, but let

It wouldn't be appropriate for Shi Wenli to move in as well.

The conversation between the two quickly turned back to Dubai World Central International Airport. Fang Mingyuan said: "To be honest, Chairman Shi, we actually have to continue building Dubai World Central International Airport because once its construction project is stopped, there will be huge losses.

, the impact on Dubai's economy is also relatively large, and it is easy to cause people to panic, which is not good for Burj Khalifa World Company to overcome this difficulty. It is also due to my selfishness. After the Dubai World Center International Airport is completed and put into use, there will be a

The terminal will be under my control, and I plan to make it the base airport of Kowloon Airlines in the Middle East to meet the development needs of Kowloon Airlines."

The fundamental purpose of the Dubai government's decision to build Dubai World Center is to rely on Dubai's important strategic geographical location to build a complete logistics corridor for the port free zone and airport, and to further strengthen Dubai as a regional trade, aviation, and logistics center by creating world-class infrastructure.

status, thereby promoting the development of Dubai's economy to higher heights and wider areas. Now that Fang Mingyuan has stepped in, he naturally wants to seek due benefits for himself.

As the fleet of Kowloon Airlines continues to expand, more and more cities are connected, and there is an urgent need for more overseas base airports. Dubai is located in a central location on the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe. It is also a tourist destination and the Middle East.

A window of the country to the outside world, although Kowloon Airlines has gained a place in Dubai International Airport, Dubai International Airport is close to saturation, and although his personal relationship with Maktoum is good, although Maktoum is the Sheikh of the Emirate of Dubai

, and not everything can be explained in one sentence.

But things are different now. If Fang Mingyuan helped Burj World Company to get out of the predicament and also helped Dubai's economy to tide over the difficulties, then no one asked him to get involved at the Dubai World Center International Airport or even the Dubai World Center.

You can blame him. Everyone has to admit that Hong Kong's Pavicon Investment Company took a huge investment risk by taking a stake in Burj Khalifa World Company. If grudges cannot be clearly distinguished, then in the Arab world, everyone will despise them.

No one can afford such a price.

Shi Wenli laughed dumbly. Is this right? There must be huge benefits in it, so Fang Mingyuan would take advantage of the fire. If it was all risks and no benefits, even if Fang Mingyuan was willing, he would not be able to convince others. After all, behind him, there are now

Not only the Fang family, but also many others! (To be continued.)
