Chapter 4005 Capital of Science and Technology
"Harmandan, it looks like I can't just leave like this!" Lin Feng got off the helicopter...
"Lin, it's okay. You can go and do your business. The prosperity that Dubai has today cannot be achieved overnight. In the same way, it's really despising how easy it is to surpass Dubai." Harmandan said arrogantly,
"Abu Dhabi is indeed rich. Khalifa II does have much more funds than me, but it is not easy to surpass me!"
Khalifa II! The corner of Lin Feng's mouth moved. Regarding Khalifa II, Lin Feng had naturally heard of this person. Although the two had never met, it did not mean that Lin Feng did not understand him.
Strictly speaking, I still have some connection with Khalifa II. The last time I borrowed US$80 billion from the Abu Dhabi consortium through Suleiman, it expired in July this year. And the Abu Dhabi consortium
The actual controller of the company is Khalifa II. Suleiman is one of its shareholders. Therefore, he still owes Khalifa II a huge sum of money.
"Harmandan, what is your relationship with Khalifa II?" Lin Feng asked.
"In terms of blood, we are not related by blood. It's just that when Sheikh Zeid advocated the establishment of the United Arab Emirates, my father was also one of the sheikhs. We are old friends. However, because the two sides have different development concepts, there are already some differences.
We haven’t seen each other much in years. It’s just that Abu Dhabi has always been the political and spiritual center of the Arab world, as well as the economic center. However, with the rise of Dubai, my father’s various innovative ideas allowed Dubai to catch up economically.
, surpassing Abu Dhabi, becoming the new economic center of Arabia, and becoming a window for the outside world to understand the Arab world. Naturally, Khalifa II was dissatisfied with this!" Harmandan said with a smile, "He is a few years older than me.
At the age of 18, like his father, he wanted to create a greater Arab world. The establishment of the OPEC organization was inseparable from his family."
Lin Feng was surprised.
The OPEC organization, whose full name is the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, was founded on September 14, 1960. It was jointly formed by Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, and later joined Qatar, Libya, Nigeria, and Algeria.
Angola, Ecuador and other countries. Its purpose is to coordinate and unify the petroleum policies of member states and safeguard their respective and common interests.
On the surface, OPEC ensures the stability of oil prices in the international oil market by eliminating harmful and unnecessary price fluctuations, ensuring that member states can obtain stable oil revenue under any circumstances, and providing oil-consuming countries with
Provide sufficient, economical, long-term oil supply. However, after entering the 1970s, it also became a tool used by these oil-exporting countries to enhance their international influence.
After all, before this, although OPEC member countries had massive amounts of oil, they were in a state of being able to take whatever they wanted. Later, with the rise in oil prices and the increase in global demand for oil, OPEC members realized that oil is also a very important resource.
A useful weapon.
Of course, Lin Feng must also admire the American government here. Before this, after World War II, the American government, as the two superpowers that coexisted with the Soviet Union, was capable of controlling the then-fugitive Arab world. Only with the Soviet Union
The difference is that the Soviet Union imposed political power on the areas it ruled, while the United States returned power to the people. And after discovering that the Arab world had massive oil fields, it did not use occupation methods, but cooperation methods. Otherwise, I am afraid that the world
There will no longer be super tycoons like Arabs.
"Lin, now Khalifa II definitely wants to use Boeing's power to compete with me for the title of the most influential country in the Arab world." Harmandan saw through Khalifa II's purpose at a glance, "But
Even if Khalifa II is willing to spend money like Dubai, he cannot make Abu Dhabi become the second Dubai. Dubai has many firsts in the world, and this firstness has been deeply rooted in the people of the world.
In my heart, even if it is surpassed by Abu Dhabi in the future, everyone will still crown Dubai as the world's number one title."
Lin Feng nodded. From the perspective of human thinking, this is indeed the case. Just like after a certain brand has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, even if its brand influence is no longer there, it is still that famous brand in the hearts of the people. Unless it has passed through
After more than ten years of decline, its brand image has just collapsed in the hearts of the people.
"Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Abu Dhabi to surpass Dubai's influence. But with the addition of Boeing, it is different. This time Kandi is building a Boeing theme park and a space tourism company in Abu Dhabi. This is in
A high-tech brand. If this is the case, there is no guarantee that Abu Dhabi will not ban Dubai and become the new most influential Arab emirate! Once Abu Dhabi surpasses Dubai, Dubai's economy will suffer a heavy blow!" Lin Feng did not.
So optimistic, but raised objections.
Lin Feng has never been to Ferrari Theme Park. But it is said that Ferrari Theme Park is indeed worth a visit. As the only Ferrari theme park in the world, it is also the largest indoor theme park in the world, covering an area of 86,000 square meters and costing US$40 billion. Its interior
It has many unique rapid entertainment facilities in the world, allowing every visitor to fully experience the thrill of Ferrari's speed.
Now add this Boeing theme park, if you add the space tourism plan, then Abu Dhabi's high-tech content will be too big. And now, it is an era of science and technology. Since the British industrial revolution in the 19th century,
Another era of invention and creation is in a spurt. Every day, new technologies are invented, and every day, the world is undergoing irreversible and subtle changes.
During the industrial revolution, the cycle of changes in people's lives took five to ten years to calculate. But now, people feel the amazing changes happening around them every year. If you go back ten years, you will find that many things today were not possible back then.
imaginary.
Technology, if Abu Dhabi plays the technology card, it will be a bit troublesome. Abu Dhabi does not lack money, and Boeing does not lack technology, especially as Kandi has been the president of Boeing for so many years and has a wide range of contacts. If Abu Dhabi’s money is used
It is not impossible to build a technology capital. But once this happens, the threat to Dubai will be great. But this incident happened because of Lin Feng, and Lin Feng naturally did not want Dubai to take this risk for himself.
