Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 649 The Prince of Dubai

   Speaking of the Saudi royal palace, we have to mention the "Sifang Palace", the early royal palace in Saudi Arabia.

  Square Palace was once the palace of the founding King Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia. It was built in 1936 and was completed in 1945. The overall construction is a traditional Saudi style building.

  Because of its square shape, it is named "Sifang Palace".

   However, after the death of the old King Abdulaziz, the Sifang Palace was no longer used, but was sealed and preserved as a historical protection.

  Now the Saudi royal family all live in the center of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Most of the king and the royal family live in dozens of palaces and hundreds of villas in the center of the city.

   Villa entrance

   "Yang, I'm sorry, I'm a little late."

   Looking at the extended sedan in front of him, Yang Chen asked, "Prince, are you here to pick up someone?"

  Hasar nodded and said, "Yes, there is another person in the car. Let's get in the car first, and I will introduce you to you after we get in the car."

   Hearing that there were still people in the car, Yang Chen couldn't help but be curious.

   Entering the car, Yang Bianchen saw a middle-aged man dressed like Hassall, about thirty years old, a little handsome, and wearing a robe.

   In addition, there were two women beside the man, but Yang Chen ignored them directly.

  Hasar introduced: "Yang, this is Prince Rashid of Dubai."

  ‘A prince again? ' Yang Chen was a little speechless in his heart.

   Before Yang Chen could speak, Rashid had already reached out his hand enthusiastically, and said happily, "Hello, Yang, it's a pleasure to see you here."

  Yang Chen stretched out his hand and said politely, "Hello prince, I'm also very happy to meet you."

   After the two finished greeting each other, Hassar urged the driver in front: "Drive, hurry up."

   In order to pick up Rasid at the airport, there has been a lot of delay along the way. If this delay continues, I am afraid that I will be late.

  Rashid smiled and said, "Hasal, what are you doing in such a hurry? Safety first, the ninth princess' birthday party shouldn't start so soon."

  Hasar said unmoved: "It's too late to start. You don't know how much my uncle loves his precious granddaughter. When that girl is not happy and troubles me, then I will be miserable."

   As the saying goes, Feng Shui takes turns.

  30 years Hedong, 30 years Hexi.

   In this era of fighting fathers, there is no strong backer behind it, and low-key is king.

  Rashid: "I see. It's the first time that a birthday banquet was held in the palace. I'm curious, why didn't any of your brothers stand up and oppose it?"

  Hasar asked back: "What is opposed? What is there to oppose? Now my uncle has made it clear that he wants to take this opportunity to see how many people oppose him. At this time, unless he is stupid, he will come out to oppose him."

   "My brothers, it's too late for them to try to curry favor with my uncle. How could they object."

   As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier.

   Seeing that one of his kings and fathers is about to die, and their princes will soon be out of breath, if they jump out and make trouble at this time, they will only be killed as an example.

  No one is stupid, no one is willing to fight against a crown prince who will soon succeed to the throne because of this trivial matter.

   Three fires when a new official took office, and the same is true for this king.

Why is he so actively helping Yang Chen, giving his own uncle and Yang Chen a chance to cooperate, all these are just to make himself worthwhile, and he can live a good life when his uncle takes office in the future Some.

   Watching the streetlights on both sides of the street outside illuminate the main road, Rashid couldn't help but sigh: "Riyadh has changed so much, it's the same every day, how long has it passed!"

   Originally, he thought that the changes in Dubai had been big enough, and he never thought that the development of Riyadh would not be reduced at all.

   Seeing Rashid so emotional, Hassar smiled and didn't answer, but it was not difficult to see from his expression that there was a bit of smugness in it.

In the early days, Riyadh was only a small desert city covering an area of ​​less than one square kilometer. In 1902, Abdul Aziz, the founder of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, led his troops to recapture Riyadh, and in 1932, it was here After the official establishment of the capital, Riyadh gained rapid development.

  In the mid-to-late 1930s, large tracts of oil were discovered in Riyadh. After decades of construction and development, it has now become the first modern city in the Middle East.

  In the urban area, residential areas, agricultural areas, commercial areas and industrial areas are arranged in an orderly manner. At this time, Riyadh developed much faster than the world-famous Dubai later.

   Of course, the reason why Riyadh is developing so fast is that in addition to oil resources, it is also rich in water resources.

  The Middle East is notoriously short of water and less water, and water is more expensive than oil. This is no joke. A modern city cannot develop without people.

   And there are two things people can’t live without, which are food and water.

There is an oasis near Riyadh with vast date palm forests and clear springs. The reason why Abdul Aziz, the early founding king of Saudi Arabia, set the capital here is not without reason, except that it is located inland and is not easily accessible. Foreign enemies easily invade foreign countries, and another is that there is water and oil here.

   It is precisely because there is water and oil that Riyadh develops so fast, otherwise, Riyadh cannot develop so fast without oil and no water.

  Riyadh is still very beautiful at night. After special planning, there are street lights on both sides of the road, which illuminate the entire city. Except for fewer pedestrians on the street, there is not much difference with the second-tier inland cities in the 21st century.

  Hasar pointed at Rasid in front of him, and said to Yang Chen: "By the way, Yang, you bet on the World Cup next, ah, look for him."

   "Now the World Cup betting address has been transferred to Dubai, and the Dubai royal family is responsible for receiving the funds. Rashid is one of the leaders. Due to the excessive amount of money, several royal families in the Middle East have joined forces to take over."

  Hasar said with a smile: "Several royal families join forces, you can bet as much as you want, and there are several royal families endorsed, so you don't have to be afraid of them defaulting on your bills."

   Yang Chen couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

  Betting on address transfer, what the **** is going on?

  ‘Don’t the two guys in front of me join forces to fool me? ' Yang Chen secretly thought, who knows if Hasar will want to get the last fortune from him because his father is about to die.

   Although this kind of thing is trivial, it is necessary to guard against others, so Yang Chen didn't say anything, pretending that he didn't understand.

   seemed to see through Yang Chen's concerns, Hasal explained: "The original address was in Riyadh, but because my uncle is busy with the succession right now, he doesn't have time to take care of these things, so..."
