Facing the scorching midday sun in West Asia, a Boeing 747 special plane landed at the Abu Dhabi International Airport in Dubai and followed the guidance vehicle to taxi to the VIP ramp in Terminal B.
Airports in West Asian monarchy countries have such exclusive passages for royal families and nobles, and are equipped with extremely luxurious arrival and departure terminals. The furnishings are far more luxurious than ordinary VIP exclusive areas.
In order to cope with the strange hobbies of many princes and princes in West Asia, the terminal is even equipped with rooms for resting and eating falcons, dromedary racing camels, thoroughbred horses, tigers, lions, leopards, pythons and other strange and weird things.
In a dedicated place, even the water feeding faucets are gold-plated and inlaid with jewels, and live feeding services can be provided, of course for a high fee.
Saudi Arabia alone has more than 5,000 princes and princes. Coupled with oil-rich countries such as Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Oman, the number of royal members is quite large, and the consumption potential is even more amazing.
Every spring when the flowers bloom, these princes will charter flights to travel to Europe for vacation, and randomly bring top-notch sports cars, modified off-road vehicles, weird pets, servants and everything else you can imagine.
Cathay Pacific Airways has long been engaged in transoceanic transportation between Europe and Asia and is one of the leading top airlines. It has made huge profits in this lucrative charter business and is no stranger to this.
"Engines No. 1 and No. 3 cut off the fuel supply, cut off the backup power supply, the engines stopped running, and all indicators are normal."
In the cockpit of the Boeing 747 special plane, Wang Yaocheng held the flight manual in his hand and was checking and closing relevant equipment one by one. This was a routine task.
Since hundreds of items are involved, they must be handled one by one according to the requirements of the flight manual to prevent any missing items from causing big trouble.
The Chinese-American captain Jimmy Zhou also held the flight manual and followed the operations one by one with a serious expression.
a moment later
He pushed the last handbrake and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The grounding procedure has been completed. Thank you for your perfect operation. Boss, you are indeed the best pilot among employers. Thank you for taking over the last landing procedure. Let me
We had a perfect trip, but I noticed that your addiction to flying is getting bigger and bigger, which is not a good sign."
Wang Yaocheng took off his sunglasses and said, "Thank you for your praise and jealousy. Flying is indeed full of fun. It is a hobby that is good for physical and mental health and is very good for relieving stress."
"Well, if you can take over the boring cross-continental flight for a while, even if it is four or five hours, our entire flight team will be very grateful."
"That... let's talk about it later."
Wang Yaocheng didn't care about Jimmy Zhou's cloudy face, he stretched happily, unbuckled his seat belt and stood up, saying irresponsibly: "Now, please ask the flight team to take over, complete and supervise the refueling, watering and cleaning of the aircraft.
I have to leave work for a while and return to the post where I should be. Once again, I would like to say that it is very pleasant to work with you."
"You are happy, but we are depressed."
"Shut up Jimmy Zhou, I know that you have a close relationship with a certain lady among the flight attendants. If you don't want to be caught by the madam, just do the trivial tasks that I don't want to do and do them well. What else?
You must do it on my special plane, otherwise you will know the consequences."
Jimmy Zhou looked back at Wang Yaocheng in shock. He wanted to say something but then kept his mouth shut. Wang Yaocheng patted his shoulder with understanding and turned around to leave the cabin.
At this time, I heard a clear murmur from behind: "You are such a playboy and you still have the nerve to criticize me. We are really lovers!"
"Stop pretending, you are just using true love as an excuse to deceive someone's little girl to satisfy your own animal desires. If you can, just divorce her and marry her."
There was a sudden "clunking" sound in the cabin, and it was obvious that Jimmy Zhou had slipped and stumbled. Wang Yaocheng raised his eyebrows and left the cockpit refreshed and moved forward.
There is flight attendant Kayla on the special plane, and no matter how big or small can escape Wang Yaocheng's eyes and ears, what is the embarrassment of the pilot and flight attendant?
Even some of the secret private life with the outside world cannot escape Keira, who loves to tell stories. It is impossible to expect women to keep it secret.
Wang Yaocheng found it quite interesting to listen to these gossips during the long flight.
cabin hatch
The boarding suspension bridge has been tightly connected. The flight attendant, Kayla, and another flight attendant, Cheng Lingling, worked together to open the heavy cabin door. There was an obvious sound of pressure relief coming from the cabin door.
Wang Yaocheng looked at the people who were preparing behind him and stepped onto the boarding bridge first. Outside was a group of Middle Eastern men wearing white Arab robes. The first person said in proficient English;
“Welcome to Dubai, Your Excellency Lord Wang Yaocheng, I am Ayub Abdul Ibn Hussein Al-Jarifar, Minister of Foreign Affairs, under the patronage of the Emir of Dubai bin Mohammed Al Maktoum.
Msotto, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce, warmly welcomes you. His Excellency Sheikh Al Maktoum held a special welcome ceremony and grand dinner for you. Please stay at the Burj Al Arab Hotel. We have made detailed arrangements."
"Hahaha... Thank you for your warm arrangement, then we will do our best."
After a brief exchange of greetings, the group walked along the boarding suspension bridge to the VIP building.
along the way
The ground floor is paved with an Arabian-style pure wool carpet. When you look at it, there are glittering golden utensils with gold foil everywhere, as well as the unique Arab arch shape, which reveals a luxurious and rich style.
VIP building
There were many royal nobles in white Arabian robes, all of them with arrogant expressions, either teasing falcons or carrying majestic white lions. From time to time, the roars of pet beasts could be heard in the huge space.
Even if it is equipped with a powerful fresh air air conditioning system and strong aromatherapy, you can still smell a faint smell of bird and animal droppings.
Wang Yaocheng and his entourage entered the lobby of the VIP building, attracting many indifferent looks. These West Asian princes and nobles had a very high vision and did not have much regard for high-level government officials in other countries. However, their expressions soon became suspicious and uncertain.
"In the name of God, then... is that the boss king, the end of wealth?"
"Yes, that's him. His Excellency Lord Wang Yaocheng, who has twice been on the cover of Time magazine in the United States and is known as the God of Wealth and the Godfather of Silicon Valley, has been the richest man in the world for ten years."
"I promised Allah that he must be the distinguished guest of Chief Al Maktoum and there will definitely be a grand dinner. I temporarily changed my mind not to go to France and will stay to attend this grand event."
"Well, that makes sense. It seems I have to change my plan, but it's really worth it."
Amidst various opinions, Wang Yaocheng and his party left the VIP building. The Arab princes and nobles here relied on their status. Although they were greatly surprised and did not behave rudely like watching, they all canceled their planned travel plans.
Although some charter flight expenses will be lost, it is nothing to consider for these rich people, it’s drizzle!
Seven-star Burj Al Arab
here
Chief Al Maktoum held a welcome ceremony with strong Arab characteristics. More than 100 guards wearing Arab robes and holding gold-inlaid Arabian scimitars sang and danced, full of nomadic style.
Wang Yaocheng and Sheikh Al Maktoum are almost the same age apart. The two have met many times before at the Davos Forum and other occasions. They are international friends who cherish each other and have a pretty good relationship.
One was reincarnated as a young expert, the other was a cheater in life, and both of them were about the same age and had wives, so naturally they had a lot in common.
"To be honest, Al Maktoum, I think a group of men dancing is not as good-looking as women. It feels weird. Also, I don't like the roasted camel you had for dinner. It tastes very strong and has a strong smell."
It’s not delicious, it’s just a face-saving food.”
"Well, my brother, I don't like to eat roasted camel either, but it is a tradition for Arabs to entertain distinguished guests. Without it, the finale would not feel like a ceremony!"
"This explanation is acceptable, but you guards are really not very good at dancing. A group of people are just spinning around in circles!"
"Hey, you didn't know this. This kind of ritual dance requires a noble status to participate. Common people and women are not allowed to participate. This is modeled on the tradition of nomadic people dancing around the fire pit, symbolizing warriors.
The scenes of joyful celebrations after going out to battle and returning after victory represent glory and merit."
"Well, I didn't see it."
Wang Yaocheng and Chief Al Maktoum were sitting on a throne made entirely of white lions. They were holding eggs in their mouths that were neither salty nor bland. They were holding gold bone cups studded with gems and drinking top-quality French dry red. Look at
It feels quite nondescript.
According to tradition, one should drink camel milk wine.
However, the taste of that stuff is really strong and unpleasant, and the taste in your mouth is so strong after drinking it that most people really can't get used to it.
The kingdoms in West Asia have made slight changes when entertaining distinguished guests. They are not forced to adapt to the habits of desert nomads. It may be a glass of French dry red, or it may be a glass of Coca-Cola or juice. There is always something suitable for you.
"Okay, friends, I have felt your enthusiasm. They have been dancing for more than half an hour, and they can almost rest."
Accompanied by the unique Arabic string sounds, Wang Yaocheng felt the magic sound enter his head, and watched more than 100 barefoot Arab men dancing in a terrible way, and screamed strangely from time to time to increase their momentum. It was so irritating that he finally couldn't help but say something.
blocked.
"Well, as you wish, my brother."
Chief Al Maktoum spoke in a tone that was a bit like a djinn. He waved the short knife inlaid with precious stones casually. The music suddenly changed. One by one, the barefooted men in white robes walked to the middle and bowed to salute before retreating.
And left.
In the huge hotel space, the bonfire in the middle was "cracking" and burning fiercely.
The central air conditioner has enough power to deliver cold air, and the vast area of Arabian carpet seems to be lingering with a faint smell of smelly feet that cannot be removed for a long time.
Think about it, even if there is central air conditioning in such a hot weather, how can more than 100 barefoot men dance on the wool carpet for hours without the smell of smelly feet?
Since getting off the plane, Wang Yaocheng's sensitive sense of smell has been bombarded and has become completely numb.
