While Maniel was studying in the United States, he got to know many of the top dignitaries in the Middle East through social circles between universities.
Under Dejaminha's planning, he reached an agreement with these people, and they will cooperate to promote No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant to their countries.
Therefore, when he heard Sun Dahai tell him the investment scale of the new project, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: I don't have enough money in my pocket, why should I borrow money?
Sun Dahai saw his thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry about funds.
The majority of the new project will definitely come from the Dubai government, and the royal family is expected to invest and hold a lot of shares. There will also be shares left for overseas investment institutions and tourism companies.
If those relatives of yours get involved again, we will not be regarded as the initiators of the project, but we will be able to get a share of ten points in the end, which will be good."
Maniel thought about it carefully and felt that Sun Dahai's words were correct. If it were really announced that the world's first luxury hotel would be built, investors would probably flock to it.
At that time, it will no longer be a question of whether you have enough funds, but how much share you can get.
Sun Dahai continued, "Besides, Dubai does not have its own complete basic industry, and most of the building materials need to be imported from overseas. In addition, the local weather is hot and the actual working hours per day are short.
Therefore, the construction period of this project will be delayed for a long time, and the period of payment in stages will also be lengthened. As long as there are no major problems with the business of No. 9 Hotpot Restaurant, you don’t have to think too much about the funding issue."
…
On the afternoon of the third day after Prince Abdullah came to the capital, he met with Sun Dahai in Building 10 of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse where he was staying.
Accompanying Sun Dahai was Mr. Huang's secretary Ning Haiyan. Hu Cheng and Gao Yi were not around, so Sun Dahai had no choice but to borrow Ning Haiyan from Mr. Huang to make up for the loss.
When the prince met Sun Dahai, Maniel was also there. He had previously explained Sun Dahai's proposal to Prince Abdullah in detail.
As expected, His Highness the Prince was very interested in this proposal. He specially extended the time to meet with Sun Dahai to 45 minutes, hoping to have a serious communication with him.
Since His Highness the Prince paid great attention to it, his attendants urgently collected Sun Dahai's detailed information and sent it to the Prince before the agreed interview time.
Abdullah originally had a piece of information on Sun Dahai and No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant, which was also collected by his attendants. The content was relatively simple, just going through the motions.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly paid more attention to Sun Dahai, so the attendants were busy for a while, using a lot of resources, starting from the mainland, Xiangjiang and the United States, to dig deep into the details of Sun Dahai and the establishment of the future system.
In view of the tight time limit and the fact that the relevant information about Sun Dahai and the establishment of the future system has not been made public, the country has even encrypted the information about Sun Dahai and his family.
Therefore, although the information finally handed over to Abdullah was much more detailed than the previous one, it was still mostly superficial.
But the current information has already surprised Prince Abdullah.
Dubai is one of the core countries in the Arab world. Since China and Dubai established diplomatic relations in 1984, economic and trade activities between the two countries have become increasingly frequent.
At this time, China was still a net exporter of oil, and the total trade volume with Dubai was not very high. However, Dubai imported a lot of things from China, ranging from agricultural products to light industry, textile products, and miscellaneous purchases.
.
In the eyes of Dubai's senior officials, China's economic development is still relatively backward, and its products are mainly primary products. Products imported from China are also high-quality and low-priced, and are more suitable for low- and middle-income residents in Dubai.
Of course, Prince Abdullah also had this understanding. However, when he saw the information given to him by the attendant, he had some doubts about the authenticity of the information.
A teenage Chinese kid was able to build a huge business in just a few years through starting his own business. Compared to the princes of similar age in the Dubai royal family, Abdullah was speechless.
.
Abdullah still recognized the authenticity of this investigation information.
Among other things, his cousin Maniel invested in Sun Dahai's No. 9 hotpot restaurant a few years ago. It was just one of Sun Dahai's many investment projects.
It was this information that made him think more highly of Maniel's proposal to relay Sun Dahai's proposal.
Only words spoken by people with strength will be carefully considered and weighed. If you don't have that strength, who will care about what you say!
Sun Dahai arrived at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse on time. Accompanied by personnel from the diplomatic department, he went to Building 10 where the Chinese delegation was staying. In the small reception room on the second floor, Sun Dahai met the most famous prince in Dubai.
Your Highness.
Prince Abdullah is forty years old this year, but he looks very young and does not look much older than Maniel (Sun Dahai has slight blindness).
He is of medium build and slightly thinner. He wears white traditional Arab clothing and a white headscarf covering his head with a golden hairband.
Abdullah has a typical Arab appearance, with high brow bones, deep-set eyes, a high but slightly curved nose bridge, and a full beard.
His eyes were sharp, but wearing a pair of glasses made him look much calmer.
Under the introduction of the accompanying personnel, Sun Dahai walked up to Abdullah and bowed to His Highness Prince Abdullah. However, Prince Abdullah took a step forward and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.
Seeing this, Sun Dahai quickly stretched out his hands to hold the prince's hand, and under the flash of the flashlight, he began to talk like a chicken.
First, the prince spoke a lot in Arabic, and the translator beside him translated his words into Chinese, which were nothing more than some greetings.
Sun Dahai also expressed his respect for His Highness the Prince in Chinese. These were temporarily taught to him by the foreign affairs officer who accompanied him in. They were all clichés.
Anyway, she is also Sun Dahai's temporary translator. Even if Sun Dahai forgets the words or makes a mistake, she can translate it correctly, right?
The staff on both sides had dedicated people responsible for taking photos, and they took several photos in a row.
Sun Dahai felt that he could no longer maintain the smile on his face, and his eyes were dazzled by the flash.
At this time, Sun Dahai actually thought of the heroic ***, and he couldn't help but admire Brother Fa, Leslie Cheung and the others for surviving in such an environment.
After the full set of procedures was completed, the small conference room began to be cleared, and everyone left the place.
At this time, there were only a few people left in the conference room. Here were Sun Dahai and Ning Haiyan. Over there were Abdullah, his assistant, Du, the business representative of the visiting Chinese delegation, Maniel, and
There is a secretary who takes notes of conversations.
Since it is no longer an open diplomatic occasion, everyone invariably uses English to communicate, and even translation is omitted.
