The underground floor of Bei Jing Hotel was originally a staff restaurant and pipe room. However, as prices rose, Bei Jing became more expensive. Bei Jing Hotel, known as the best hotel in Bei Jing, naturally changed the underground floor to a commercial area. After an open bidding process for the venue, a Shenzhen high-end restaurant chain moved into the basement of Bei Jing Hotel.
As the most famous prince in the Middle East, Hamlet has many investments in Bei Jing, including Bei Jing Hotel, but to him, these are just small amounts of money. As the capital of China and an ancient capital, Bei Jing has a unique geographical location. , but in the eyes of the crown prince, Bei Jing no longer has much investment to penetrate into, and even if he invests in, what he can earn is only a small amount of money.
It's just that what he sees as a small amount of money is a huge sum of money in the eyes of many Chinese businessmen, and even people in the Beijing circle are only envious of it.
The restaurant on the basement floor is Hamlet's investment. If the Crown Prince with unique business vision had not seen the popularity and geographical location of Bei Jing Hotel, he would not have spent money to invest in it. In his eyes, the only place here is The biggest advantage is its popularity. Foreign heads of state who come to China every year basically live here.
The greatest value here is that you can get information from various countries, so it is completely worth investing more than 50 million, and it is still in RMB, not US dollars.
Hamlet's first reason for coming to China secretly this time was to see Mariam. He was thinking about how to convince Canglong to let him take Mariam back. The second reason was to discuss cooperation with Canglong.
He will soon be unable to bear it anymore in Dubai. The Sunni and Shia old men have already learned that Mariam has left. Hamulat is also helpless to those guys who believe in Allah deeply. Although he is the future ruler of Dubai and may even become the president of the United Arab Emirates, his status is not high for the entire Islamic world.
What the old men care about is when Maryam will go back and formally negotiate to take over the post of Islamic Caliph, although he knows very well that even if Maryam becomes the caliph, she will be nothing more than a puppet, and the power will always be in the hands of the old men, not in the hands of the old men. It would be in the hands of her, the young caliph.
Although this fate is very sad, it is much better than the whole of Islam being divided. If one person's sacrifice can exchange for the happiness of countless people, perhaps most people will ignore that sacrifice.
But the difficulty is on Canglong's side. Hamlet has been thinking about this matter these days.
"When will they arrive?" Sitting in the most luxurious private room in the restaurant, Hamlet looked calm on the surface, but he was very anxious in his heart.
If Mariam does not return home, I am afraid those old men will use special means, which may be frontal diplomacy or covert attacks.
But Hamlet knew very well that whether it was a front-on discussion with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs or a covert attack, these were not advisable, especially the latter, because China may become a friend of the Islamic world in the future, because the Americans are checking and balancing China, and the enemy The enemy is the friend, Hamlet believed this sentence very much.
The cooperation with Longteng International in these years is the goodwill expressed by the Islamic world and the rising China. Otherwise, even Hamulat would not have sold oil to China so easily. After all, there is the United States behind it, especially in Saudi Arabia. There are many pro-American factions over there.
"We are almost at the hotel. Our people are waiting in the parking lot. Don't worry, His Royal Highness, no one will know about this meeting. The hotel's top management has arranged a secret passage for them to enter," the waiter said.
Hamulette nodded. There are many eyes and ears from various countries in the Bei Jing Hotel. As the Crown Prince of Dubai, his secret visit to China will definitely attract attention, especially in Europe and the United States. When he cooperates with Longteng International, he will receive even more attention. Even among the intelligence organizations around the world, there are many people who want him dead, especially those pro-American factions in Saudi Arabia who want to cut him into pieces.
So he was very cautious in his actions, but he was not afraid of assassination. After all, this was the capital of China. If he died here, it would probably cause a sensation in the world. So before he came, Bei Jing Hotel entered the secret The state of martial law is no less than the stay of a foreign head of state.
At the same time, in a taxi, Canglong and others were rushing to the Bei Jing Hotel. Secretary Yu and Maryam were sitting in the back, while Canglong was sitting in the passenger seat. The driver was chatting and glancing at the back seat from time to time. Both Secretary Yu and Mariam are beautiful women. Although Secretary Yu is older, she still retains her charm.
My brother is very discerning. As soon as they got in the car, I guessed that Secretary Yu was an official, and Mariam must be the daughter of a wealthy family in the Middle East. As for Canglong, my brother said that he was the son of Secretary Yu, and Mariam She is the daughter-in-law of Secretary Yu. Her brother also found various arguments to prove his guess.
In response to his brother's speculation, Canglong looked calm, Mariam blushed a little, and Secretary Yu was speechless, as if she was saying that if she had a son like Canglong, she would be pissed to death.
Until they arrived at the Bei Jing Hotel, the three of them had their own thoughts. Maryam was basically in a state of nervousness except for blushing after being told by her brother. Although Secretary Yu didn't speak, there was confusion on her face because she didn't. I don’t know who Canglong wants to take him to see.
It's not that she has never been to Bei Jing Hotel. When she was the mayor, she came to Bei Jing to attend the National People's Congress meeting. The place where she was arranged to stay was the Bei Jing Hotel. Of course, not all representatives would be accommodated because their political performance was extremely outstanding. Therefore, Secretary Yu was regarded as a role model at that time and was even received by the Prime Minister.
When they got off the car, there were more than a dozen bodyguards in black waiting in the parking lot with serious faces. At that time, my face changed. If it weren't for the fact that he drove into the parking lot alone, I probably thought it was... Some foreign heads of state visited China, but even so, my brother didn’t think that the guests he was transporting would have such an honor.
If Canglong hadn't told him to stop in front of the bodyguard, I would probably have been ready to drive over. Until they got off the bus, I was in a state of surprise, as if wondering who he was driving just now. The result is naturally predictable. And know.
Secretary Yu was also surprised, while Mariam was trembling with fear and seemed reluctant to follow the bodyguards in. Only Canglong looked calm.
On the way, Secretary Yu was very sensitive and discovered that they were not taking a regular passage, but an unknown passage. At least she had never walked through it.
It wasn't until she was in the restaurant that Secretary Yu was shocked because she didn't know that there was something special on the basement floor of Bei Jing Hotel.
When he arrived at the door, Secretary Yu couldn't help but ask who Cang Long had brought him to see, but he still held back. When the door of the private room opened, the level of luxury inside was something that even Secretary Yu could not imagine. The walls and rooms The top decoration is all gold-plated, and there are various crystal cups bought from France, chopstick rests, and spoons filled with gold and jade.
But what attracted her was not these decorations, but the Arab who was walking towards them. He was wearing a typical Arab robe, his eyes were deep and familiar, and Secretary Yu was confused and thought of something: "It's him."
But she quickly withdrew her gaze and looked at Mariam, seeing that she lowered her head and said nothing, just standing close to Canglong, as if she was very scared. She vaguely remembered that Canglong told her that they were here this time. The purpose of meeting Maryam's brother was also to secure the investment in the plan.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also an Arab, Secretary Yu did not dare to think about it at that time. If the person they met was the Crown Prince of Dubai, then Maryam was the Crown Prince's sister, what would that mean?
The word princess appeared in her mind. Although she couldn't believe it, she was still surprised. A princess from the Dubai royal family had stayed in the city under her rule for so long, and she didn't realize that this was definitely her. The biggest mistake I've ever made in my life.
However, the meeting between several people did not feel like a formal meeting to Secretary Yu, let alone friends. Mariam seemed to be very unwilling to talk to her brother. Instead, she kept hiding behind Canglong, and Canglong and Crown Prince Hamlet was not a friend either. Their glances told Secretary Yu that the Crown Prince seemed to dislike Cang Long, but was forced to meet Cang Long for some reason.
Thinking of these relationships, Secretary Yu was a little confused. It wasn't until Canglong introduced her to His Highness the Crown Prince that she realized what she was doing and almost lost her composure.
What is different from the last time I saw the crown prince is that the crown prince at this moment seems polite and polite. Compared with Canglong's conversation, it is like heaven and earth. Of course, Canglong is the earth and the crown prince is the sky. It is very leisure for the crown prince to grow up since he was a child. Having received etiquette training in this area, it is estimated that if Canglong hadn't brought her here, the crown prince would still be as aloof as when he visited Dongning, and he might not be so kind to her.
Such a wealthy owner would not care about the secretary of the municipal party committee of her city. Although her emirate is about the same size as Dongning, all the oil buried underground is oil.
After several people sat down one after another, the crown prince said: "How much does Dongning's investment cost?"
The prince got to the point as soon as he sat down. It was clear that he knew that Canglong came to see him this time just to ask for money, and he didn't want to be polite to Canglong. Only then did Secretary Yu think of the plan that Canglong had discussed with her. The biggest investor was not Canglong, but the crown prince, and her depressed mood these days suddenly became clear.
"Can we only talk about money?" Canglong asked back.
But Hamlet said slightly angrily: "Isn't this your ultimate goal?"
"Yes." Canglong nodded simply, not feeling embarrassed at all, but Secretary Yu sounded like something was wrong in this scene, "However, since it is a business, it is natural for both parties to benefit."
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, the investment in Dongning City is indeed worthy of your consideration," Secretary Yu also said, as if he wanted to smooth things over and was also prepared to fight for it.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not take this trick at all, and looked very impatient and said: "Does your company still have the same account as before? How much money does it need? Tell me a number and I will transfer it to you. I have a ready-made contract here. Since everyone They are all here, just sign."
Hearing this, Secretary Yu was stunned, Canglong smiled, Mariam still lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at her brother.
