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

The Sifang Palace was once the royal palace of Saudi Arabia's founding king Abdulaziz. Construction began in 1936 and was completed in 1945. The overall construction is a traditional Saudi style building.

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

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

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

"Yang, I'm sorry, I'm late for something."

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

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

Hearing that there was someone else in the car, Yang Chen couldn't help but be curious.

Entering the car, Yang Binchen saw a middle-aged man dressed like Hasar, about thirty years old, a bit handsome, and wearing a gauze robe.

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

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

‘It’s the prince again?’ Yang Chen was a little speechless.

Before Yang Chen could speak, Rashid had already extended his hand enthusiastically and said happily: "Hello, Yang, I'm glad to see you here."

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

After the two of them greeted each other, Hassar urged the driver in front: "Drive, faster."

In order to pick up Rasheed at the airport, we have already been delayed a lot of time along the way. If we delay any longer, I am afraid we will be late.

Rashid smiled and said: "Hasar, why are you in such a hurry? Safety first, the birthday party of the Ninth Princess should not start so soon."

Hasar was unmoved and said: "It's too late to start. You don't know how much my uncle loves his precious granddaughter. When the girl is unhappy and troubles me, I will be in trouble."

As the saying goes, things turn around.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.

In this era of fighting for one's father, without a strong backer, keeping a low profile is the way to go.

Rashid: "I can see it. It is said that this is the first time that a birthday banquet is held in the palace. I am very curious, why don't any of your brothers stand up and speak out against it?"

Hasar asked: "What are you objecting to? What is there to object to? Now my uncle clearly wants to take this opportunity to see how many people oppose him. Only a fool will jump out to oppose him at this time."

"My brothers, if they find an opportunity to curry favor with my uncle, they won't object until it's too late."

As the saying goes, there is one emperor and one courtier.

Seeing that one of his kings is about to die, and these princes are about to pass away, if they jump out and make trouble at this time, they will only be killed to scare the monkeys.

No one is stupid, and no one is willing to confront a crown prince who is about to succeed to the throne over such a trivial matter.

There are three things to do when a new official takes office, and the same is true for this king when he takes office.

Why is he so active in helping Yang Chen and giving his uncle the opportunity to cooperate with Yang Chen? All this is just to make himself appear valuable so that he can live a good life after his uncle comes to power.

Some.

Looking at the street lights on both sides of the street outside, which illuminated the main road brightly, Rashid couldn't help but sigh: "Riyadh has changed so much. It looks the same every day. How long has it been?"

Originally, he thought that the changes in Dubai had been dramatic enough, but he never thought that Riyadh's development would not diminish at all.

Seeing Rashid's emotion, Hasar smiled and did not answer, but it was not difficult to see from his expression that there was a bit of pride 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 re-occupy Riyadh, and in 1932, he conquered Riyadh.

After officially establishing the capital, Riyadh developed rapidly.

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

The urban area, residential areas, agricultural areas, commercial areas and industrial areas were laid out in an orderly manner. At this time, Riyadh developed much more rapidly than the world-famous Dubai later.

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

The Middle East is famous for its water shortage, and water is more expensive than oil. This is really no joke. The development of a modern city cannot be separated from people.

There are two things that people cannot live without, which are food and water.

There is an oasis near Riyadh, with vast date palm groves and clear springs. There is a reason why Abdul Aziz, the early founding king of Saudi Arabia, set his capital here. In addition to being inland, it is not easily accessible.

Foreign enemies can easily invade outside. Another reason is that there is water and oil here.

It is precisely because of the water and oil that Riyadh has developed so fast. Otherwise, Riyadh would not have developed so fast if there was only oil and no water.

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

Hasar pointed at Rashid in front of him and said to Yang Chen: "By the way, Yang, you're going to bet on the World Cup next, go find 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 people in charge. Because the amount is too large, several royal families in the Middle East have joined forces to take over."

Hasar said with a smile: "With several royal families joining forces, you can bet as much as you want, and with the endorsement of several royal families, you don't have to worry about them defaulting."

When Yang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but frowned.

Betting on address transfer, what’s going on?

‘Why don’t the two guys in front of me join forces to deceive me?’ Yang Chen secretly thought, who knows whether Hasal might want to get the last fortune from him because his father is about to die.

Although this kind of thing was trivial, he still had to be on guard against others, so Yang Chen didn't say anything and pretended not to understand.

Seemingly seeing through Yang Chen's concerns, Hasar explained: "The original address was in Riyadh, but because my uncle is currently busy with the matter of succession, he has no time to take care of these things, so..."
