Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 482 It is indeed the Cosell Manor

Al-Kawsair Manor is a well-known historic site in Kuwait, although its history is only a hundred years old. It was once a manor owned by members of the Kuwaiti royal family before the founding of the country. Later, it was sold to members of the Kuwaiti royal family.

Fudi Petroleum Holdings Company, and continues to this day. It is located north of today's Kuwait City, about ten kilometers away from the urban area, and covers an area of ​​about one hundred acres.

"Fifty years ago, this place was a small oasis. It was precisely because of this that the ancestors of the royal family built a manor. But as time goes by, the springs here can provide more

The amount of water was getting smaller and smaller, so it was later sold to Fudi Oil Holdings Company as its headquarters in Kuwait." In the car, Prince Abdullah told Fang Mingyuan the history of the manor.

"Mr. Fang, 80% of the buildings here have been destroyed by the Iraqis, and everything in the manor has been looted. Our company is planning to seek compensation from the Iraqi government! Now this place is in ruins, what is there to see?

?" Dudliwei said with some disapproval. Even if this place was once a royal property, no matter how great its historical significance it is, now it has become a ruin. What is the meaning of it? But Fang Mingyuan insisted on coming, so he had no choice but to follow him.

.

Fang Mingyuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and waited for the manor to appear.

The road from Kuwait City to Kausel Manor is very smooth, but in the sea of ​​​​sand on the side, the remains of tanks abandoned by the Iraqis can be seen from time to time. After a while, the group has arrived outside Kausel Manor.

.

After getting off the car, what Fan Mingyuan saw at a glance was the broken door. It could be seen that it had been forcibly opened. There were also several large holes in the tall wall of the manor, and there were traces of smoke.

After entering the gate, the first thing you see is a fountain pool, but now, the fountain pool is full of broken bricks and rocks. Behind the fountain pool, a small Western-style building has now become a ruin.

The dark building body tells people what kind of looting this place has suffered!

"These Iraqis deserve to go to hell! After they robbed our place, in order to cover up their crimes, they even set the place on fire. Finally, they used artillery shelling to turn this place into ruins! Their crimes should be engraved in mankind forever.

war history!" Dudley said angrily.

"Just like you British people!" Fang Mingyuan added coldly in his heart. Seeing all this, he couldn't help but think of the Old Summer Palace, the garden of ten thousand gardens! It was the British and French who robbed

After that, they burned it to the ground! The destruction of this Cousel Manor is simply not worth mentioning compared with the Old Summer Palace!

"Dudliwe, now that the war is over, no matter whether you plan to rebuild this manor or not, you should tidy it up!" Prince Abdullah said with an unhappy face. Putting it here like this, doesn't it embarrass Kuwait?

?In any case, this place was once considered the private property of the Kuwaiti royal family.

"Your Highness, isn't it true that the procedures for claiming compensation from the Iraqi government have not been completed yet?" Dudliwe explained in a low voice, "We are afraid that when the time comes, the Iraqis will refuse to admit their debt."

"Then they are just left here like this? If the Iraqis don't compensate for a day, they will lose a day. If they don't compensate for a year, they will lose a year. What if they don't compensate for ten years? What if they don't compensate for a hundred years?" Prince Abdullah said dissatisfiedly, "We have obtained

Once you have enough evidence, you should tidy up this place as soon as possible and don't leave it here like this!" Dudley responded submissively.

Fang Mingyuan ignored the two of them and walked around the side of the small building while stepping on the broken bricks and rocks. Only then did he realize that it turned out that this small building had two annex buildings, but now they were also in ruins and a mess.

In the open space behind the building, obvious craters can also be seen.

"Young Master Fang, don't go near those places!" Chen Zhong stopped in front of Fang Mingyuan. There is no guarantee that there will be no duds left in this kind of place. If there is an accident, things will go wrong.

Fang Mingyuan naturally understood what Chen Zhong was worried about, and continued walking down the road in the manor. He still needed to take a closer look to see if this was the Cousel Manor he had seen in his previous life.

He also accidentally remembered that he had read an interesting story on the Internet in his previous life. It was said that a place in Kuwait called Kauser Manor was used during the second Gulf War, when the US military invaded Iraq and overthrew Saddam Hussein's regime.

That time, a Scud missile that deviated from its target landed on a place called Cowsell Manor, blowing up three date palm trees. The date palm tree got its name because of its tall and straight trunk.

The leaves are pinnate and compound, with long and narrow leaves, similar to coconut trees, but its fruits are like dates. It is one of the four earliest fruit trees domesticated and cultivated by humans.

Date palm pulp is sweet and has extremely high nutritional value. It contains a variety of vitamins and natural sugars useful to the human body. It can be used as food and fruit, as well as raw materials for sugar and wine making. It can even be made into various

Candies, high-grade syrups, biscuits and dishes, as well as vinegar and alcohol, so it is also called desert bread. The date cores of date palms can be used as feed; inferior dates are used as fertilizer or feed. The Arabs were often short of food.

At that time, I relied on the dates on the date palm trees to survive.

The trunks of date palm trees can be used as building materials and water troughs, to build farmhouses, and bridges; the leaves can be used to weave mats, bundle brooms, make pallets, etc., and can also be used as fuel; the branches can be used to make chairs, beds, and ship fruits and vegetables.

Chickens, ducks, fish, shrimps and baskets, it can be said that it is full of treasures. It is an important export crop for some countries in the Middle East.

Naturally, the owner of the manor felt very sorry for the three date palm trees that were blown over. However, if the trees fell down, they could not just stay there, so the owner of the manor arranged for people to dig out the roots of the trees. As a result, this

After digging, they dug out a clear spring that produces hundreds of tons of water every day! Moreover, the water of this clear spring is clear, sweet, rich in various minerals, and can be drank directly! No one in China would take such a clear spring.

What a treasure it is, but this is Kuwait, a region in the Middle East that doesn't get much rain a year and relies on desalination of seawater for drinking water. A clear spring like this is worth a lot of money.

Not to mention the value of these lands, just think about the oil-priced water in the Middle East and you will understand how much this directly drinkable spring water is worth.

It is said that members of the Kuwaiti royal family spent nearly a billion dollars to take this place back to the royal family. Even so, the owner of the manor still thought he had lost money on the sale!

So when he came to Kuwait this time, Fang Mingyuan asked Prince Abdullah with the intention of trusting him, but it turned out that it was such a coincidence that the Kauser Manor was actually an asset under the name of Fudi Petroleum Holdings Company.

The greening in the manor is very good. It can be seen that Fudi Petroleum Holdings Company must have put a lot of effort into it, but Fang Mingyuan had no intention of doing this. If it were not for the concern of not letting Prince Abdullah and Dudliwe see anything,

, he just wanted to fly to the depths of the manor to see if there were those three date palm trees growing together in a perfect glyph!

Prince Abdullah and Dudliwe soon followed. As they walked, Dudliwe introduced the vegetation on both sides to Fang Mingyuan. "That is the famous date palm tree in the Middle East. This kind of tree is dioecious and has tolerance."

It is drought-resistant, alkali-resistant, heat-resistant and likes moisture. The tree can be as old as a hundred years. Look at that tree again, it is a bachelor tree, native to the tropical dry areas of Africa. In order to reduce water evaporation, the leaves gradually degenerate or even disappear;

The branches turn green, replacing the leaves for light and function. Because of its peculiar tree shape, thorns and leaves, it is called the bachelor tree. Its white latex is highly toxic, so special care must be taken when viewing or cultivating it, and it must not be allowed to grow.

Milk enters a person's mouth, ears, eyes, nose or wounds..."

Along the way, Dudley introduced to Fang Mingyuan no less than fifteen or six kinds of desert vegetation, which made Fang Mingyuan look at him with admiration. To be honest, among the trees he mentioned, except for date palms and cacti,

Fang Mingyuan really didn't know many other plants.

Looking at Fang Mingyuan's somewhat admiring eyes, Dudliwe felt that he had finally come back and could feel proud.

"Fang, these vegetations were planted by Dudley's predecessor, and that one is now the powerful vice president of Fudi Oil Holdings. It is said that he is very hopeful to take over as the president of Fudi Oil Holdings within five years." Ah.

Prince Abdullah's casual words made Fang Mingyuan suddenly realize that this flattery seemed to be applicable to the whole world. The reason why Dudliwe remembered the characteristics of these plants so clearly was self-evident.

"Your Highness the Prince..." Dudliwe shouted helplessly.

"Of course, Dudley himself also likes plants." Prince Abdullah added another sentence. Of course, this sentence has a bit of a taste of three hundred taels of silver in this place. The people accompanying him all said

He suppressed his laughter, but was embarrassed to laugh in front of Dudley.

Finally, the group of people came to the depths of the manor. Fang Mingyuan stood on a small slope and saw the three date palm trees in the shape of a triangle at a glance. Fang Mingyuan felt that his heart was beating violently.

He couldn't help but think of what Dudley said just now: "This tree is dioecious, drought-resistant, alkali-resistant, heat-resistant and likes moisture"!
