Resource Tycoon Reborn

When it comes to the restaurants of the Burj Al Arab Hotel, the ones that leave the most lasting impression are the sky restaurant and the undersea restaurant. Fang Mingyuan hosted Shi Wenli and Zheng Haoan in the undersea restaurant, and together with their entourage, almost half of the restaurant was occupied.

Zheng Jiayi glanced at the table where Fang Mingyuan and the other four were sitting with a somewhat resentful look. The aquarium there was the best location. Although he was Zheng Haoan's second son and his future successor, at this time,

He was not qualified to sit on that table. Zheng Jiayi's eyes fell on Angelina again. While he was amazed at her beauty, he couldn't help but feel a little psychologically unbalanced. Even Fang Mingyuan's assistant could sit there.

There, he had to sit with his entourage. But he was not stupid enough to show his feelings.

The waiter served the four people dishes and poured red wine. Fang Mingyuan greeted the two of them and said, "Today I specifically asked their best chef to cook in person. I hope you two will be satisfied."

Shi Wenli and Zheng Hao'an picked up their wine glasses, touched them lightly with Fang Mingyuan and Angelina and said with a smile: "Then we have to try the skills of the chefs here. If we can get Mr. Fang's approval, we can't go wrong." The two of them said.

He is also a person who has been tested in food for a long time. He has tasted countless restaurants at home and abroad over the years.

The four of them were chatting casually while eating. Shi Wenli looked at the aquarium next to him and said with emotion: "When I come to Dubai, the biggest feeling is luxury! These Arabs are simply living in paradise.

.You only need to do very little work every day, but you can enjoy a wealthy life that even the Nordic countries would envy. Of the more than 2 million people in Dubai, only 15% are locals in Dubai, while all the others

They are all foreigners, and even if they work here for a lifetime, they cannot become Dubai residents."

"The residential population in Dubai can basically be divided into four groups. The first group is local residents of Dubai. Needless to say, as Chairman Petroleum said, they live a happy life and enjoy the high welfare provided by the country.

Living a life of high income, low taxes, and low expenses. The second group is high-tech or corporate management talents from European and American countries. The third group is highly educated people from non-Dubai, non-European and American countries, generally refers to

Workers from some less wealthy countries in the Middle East, such as Iraq, Jordan, Syria and other countries, as well as service industry personnel from India, Pakistan, the Philippines and other countries. The fourth group is those in the above-mentioned third group who have not received higher education.

People basically come to Dubai to work as coolies. But even so, they can usually get a salary that is several times higher than in their home country." Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "However, now, there are also many Chinese people in our country.

According to statistics from relevant departments of the Dubai government, there are nearly 200,000 people working here. There are many Chinese waiters in the Burj Al Arab Hotel, and many of them have even become butlers in the presidential suite."

"The number of foreigners here in Dubai far exceeds the local population. Haha, fifteen percent is too small." Zheng Hao'an took a sip of red wine and said, "In the mainland, there are such differences between Beijing and Shanghai.

Cities with huge migrant populations don’t have such a high proportion, right?”

"Except for emerging cities like Pengcheng, I'm afraid there will never be another big city in the country with such a high proportion of migrant population." Shi Wenli said.

"Chairman Shi came to Dubai at his invitation?" Zheng Haoan asked with a smile. Shi Wenli is also a well-known private entrepreneur in the mainland. Although he and Zheng Haoan are not in the same industry and are not very familiar with each other, they still have a few similarities.

Face to face knowledge.

"Well, Mr. Fang told me that there is a big project here that will interest me. I always believe in Mr. Fang's vision, so I came here." Shi Wenli said with a smile.

"I was also recruited by him for this reason. I heard that Chairman Shi arrived a little earlier than us yesterday. I wonder what we gained after this day's inspection?" Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. and Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Co., Ltd.

There is basically no competitive relationship between them, so Zheng Haoan speaks much more casually.

"Dubai's economic situation looks better than media reports, but there are too many suspended projects." Shi Wenli shook his head and said, "In recent years, Dubai's real estate industry has been overheated, and everyone is

Buying a house, while those real estate companies are desperately building houses, and are too pursuing those meaningless names. As a result, when the cold wave of the economic crisis comes, the capital chain of these enterprises is completely broken."

"Seeing Dubai now makes me think of Hong Kong and the Mainland in the future. If the development of the real estate industry cannot be regulated and restricted, and if it continues like this, maybe today's Dubai will be tomorrow's us." Fang Mingyuan sighed.

He took a breath and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Chairman Shi, I believe that after more than a day, you have already understood the current situation of Dubai World Center International Airport." During the day, Shi Wenli and his team were accompanying the staff.

Under the guidance of my guide, I personally went to Dubai World Center International Airport for almost half a day to inspect.

"I wonder how Mr. Fang plans to cooperate?" Shi Wenli asked with a smile, "The construction company under Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. may be able to build the terminal building, but I'm afraid it won't be able to take on other projects."

In China, it can be said that very few private construction companies are qualified to build large airports. On the one hand, it is due to many reasons such as funds, personnel, technology, equipment, etc., and the other reason is also because of the construction of large airports.

Projects rarely fall to private construction companies. They just take over some small projects from the general builder.

Shi Wenli himself knows very well the level of the construction companies under Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd., and more importantly, this is Dubai, not China. Many things cannot be handled as they are in China. People in Dubai will probably be

Don’t rub sand in your eyes, and Dubai World Central International Airport will be a hub airport in the Middle East in the future, transporting at least 60 to 70 million passengers every year. If something goes wrong, Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. can

It was completely roasted on the fire.

"I would also like to re-tender the project. It would be best to use our construction team, but the contract has been signed. If the contract is broken, the breach of contract penalty will be a huge sum of money." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "However, Chairman Shi

You should also know that Dubai World Central International Airport is the core project of the Dubai World Central project. There are many other projects surrounding Dubai World Central International Airport, but these projects have not been started yet."

Shi Wenli slightly jawed. The construction of Dubai World Center is a strategic initiative of the Dubai government. Relying on Dubai's important strategic geographical location, it will invest heavily to build world-class infrastructure and build logistics corridors for port free zones and airports in the Middle East, thereby further strengthening

Dubai's status as a trade, aviation, and logistics center in the Middle East has promoted the Dubai Economic Exhibition. It can be said that the Dubai government attaches great importance to this project.

"I can hand over the construction projects of one or two of the auxiliary parks of the future Dubai World Center International Airport to Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd., provided that Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. will build a building for Burj Khalifa World Company in the Second Gulf Bank

As a guarantee for a US$2 billion loan." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Burj Khalifa World will guarantee that this loan will be used for the Dubai World Center International Airport project, and will give priority to repaying it if the worst happens, so I dare not say

There’s no risk at all, but the risk isn’t too great either.”

Shi Wenli was silent and guaranteed Burj World's $2 billion loan from the Second Gulf Bank. Although it is risky, as Fang Mingyuan said, the risk is not very big. Moreover, if this is the case

If it can be exchanged for the construction project of the affiliated park of Dubai World Central International Airport in the future, this risk will be nothing. Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. is a well-known enterprise in the domestic construction industry, but internationally, it is still

He is a little-known rookie and cannot be compared with Longxing Construction Group Company. Although overseas projects are riskier than domestic projects, the profit margins are also much higher. The most important thing is that this can also open up the three mountains.

Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. is well-known in the overseas construction market. Although the domestic market is good, it will eventually be saturated, and the overseas construction market still has a lot of market space to explore. It is just this market stage, but it is not casual.

Just one construction company is qualified to come and go. Among domestic construction companies, apart from those state-owned enterprises, Longxing Construction Group Co., Ltd. is currently doing the best and has built many large-scale projects in many countries.

"Is that all?" Shi Wenli raised his head and asked Fang Mingyuan, "It seems that the conditions are a little too generous, right?"

"Actually, there is another thing. Chairman Shi must have noticed that there are many unfinished projects on the streets of Dubai, including some projects of Burj Khalifa World Company. I plan to build a project between Longxing Construction Group Company and Guo

Sanshan Shipping Group Co., Ltd. and Pingchuan Petroleum Group Co., Ltd. will take the lead to raise a sum of funds to buy out the ownership of the best of these unfinished projects at a suitable price and then complete the construction. I hope Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. can also join in.

Of course, Chairman Shi can also call friends you trust. If Uncle Zheng is interested, he can also join in." Fang Mingyuan swayed his wine glass and smiled.

"It seems that you are still very optimistic about Dubai's future economic prospects. You are more confident than I expected." Zheng Hao'an said thoughtfully.

"This is the most open window to the outside world in the Middle East, and it can also be said to be the most suitable place for people from non-Middle East regions to live. Although the price of oil has dropped sharply, as long as the U.S. dollar does not stop depreciating, the economic situation will improve.

, the price of oil will continue to rise again, unless there are new technological innovations." Angelina said, "Although the market in the Middle East is far from the same size as the North American market, the European market, and the Chinese market.

Comparable, but in some areas, this is the place with the highest profit margins in the world. Our Welf family is also considering investing in Dubai at the right time."

Zheng Hao'an and Shi Wenli were both shocked. The Welf family is one of the most powerful families in Europe. Although the European financial industry has also suffered a heavy blow due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, they are so thin.

A camel is bigger than a horse, and the capital of Europeans is still not comparable to that of Chinese private capital.

"Today's Dubai can be said to be at the forefront of the application of building materials technology in the world. If you can undertake these construction projects in Dubai, then you will have qualifications that can prove your strength in the international construction market. These unfinished projects

Projects under the name of Burj Khalifa World Company cannot be re-tendered, but those projects that are not under the name of Burj Khalifa World Company can be re-tendered for construction." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "By then, Longxing Construction Group Co., Ltd.

You can let Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. choose first. I wonder about Chairman Shi... Huh?"

Fang Mingyuan let out a low cry, which made Zheng Hao'an and Shi Wenli, who were listening attentively, raise their heads in surprise. They followed Fang Mingyuan's gaze and saw a middle-aged man in traditional Arabic clothing, carrying two

People are slowly walking towards this side.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I saw a friend. I'll go say hello first." Fang Mingyuan put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, and greeted him. Zheng Hao'an and Shi Wenli exchanged glances and asked about the identity of the visitor.

, can’t help but be full of curiosity.

"Khalid, my friend, why did you suddenly come to Dubai?" Fang Mingyuan enthusiastically hugged Prince Khalid bin Talal Al Saud and said with a smile, "News reports, yesterday you were not

Are you still in New York?"

"Thanks to modern aviation technology, one day is enough for me to reach the United Arab Emirates from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean." Prince Al Saud smiled, "I heard that you are now in Dubai, so I thought I didn't know it in advance.

I’m a guest to say hello, you won’t welcome my arrival, right?”

"How is that possible? You are an honored guest that I can hardly invite!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. The two people with common interests and goals have naturally had more frequent contacts during this period, and their relationship has naturally become stronger.

The ground is tight.

"It seems that you are entertaining guests. Is it convenient to add me?" Prince Al Saud smiled.

"Of course I wish for it!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Prince Al Saud is not only famous in the Middle East, but also a prominent figure in the upper class of the world. Even if Zheng Haoan and Shi Wenli don't know him, they must have heard of his name.
