Fang Mingyuan was silent, and Shi Wenli was anxious and winked at Fang Mingyuan. Even if Longxing Construction Group Company was not interested, or the construction team could not schedule the construction period, they could still cooperate with Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd., Saudi Arabia

If the construction market can be opened, it will also be of great significance for developing the construction market in the Middle East!

Prince Al Saud smiled and said: "Fang, I know you have some concerns about Longxing Construction Group's large-scale entry into our country's construction market. I admit that compared with Dubai, our domestic environment is not as relaxed as it is. Are you right?

Are you also worried that something might happen that will affect the relationship between the two parties? If this is the case, you can rest assured that our country’s king has also been embarking on reforms since he succeeded to the throne. On the one hand, while our country continues to attach importance to the oil industry,

, is also vigorously reducing the national economy's dependence on the oil industry, vigorously promoting economic diversification policies, extending to the upstream and downstream of the oil industry, and actively developing high value-added petrochemical industries. At the same time, our country is also vigorously introducing foreign advanced technology and equipment, focusing on

Develop non-oil industries such as steel, aluminum smelting, cement, desalination, electric power industry, agriculture and service industries; on the other hand, our king pays attention to listening to public opinion, moderately relaxes social controls, expands social freedom, attaches great importance to health and education,

And continue to improve the level of social security. For example, in the past two years, our king pardoned many prisoners with extenuating circumstances. After "Riyadh Girl" was banned in our country for nearly three years, not long ago, the king issued an order to allow its publication in the country

Our king also decided to invest heavily this year to establish the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, which will hire professors and school administrators from all over the world, and will allow co-educational classes. In the near future, there may be female ministers in our country.

Minister, doesn’t this show the changes in our country? Moreover, as long as I am here and you are here, as long as heinous crimes are not committed, small conflicts between some ethnic groups and beliefs will not cause big troubles.”

"Khalid, why didn't I realize that you had such good eloquence last time?" Fang Mingyuan said with a wry smile. Prince Al Saud had already said everything to this extent, what else could he say?

"Last time? Because the plan you proposed was more attractive than my original plan, it became an opportunity for you to show off your eloquence." Prince Al Saud thought for a moment and smiled, "I will give you the relevant information later.

I’ll send it to you and you can reply to me as soon as possible so that we can start work early next year when the weather here is not so hot yet.”

"It's already the end of November!" Fang Mingyuan reminded him helplessly. Although it is indeed as Prince Al Saud said, in Saudi Arabia, winter is undoubtedly the best time to start construction, although it is often average monthly

The maximum temperature is between 20 and 30 degrees, but compared with the high temperature above 40 degrees in summer, it is much more comfortable.

"The design drawings and so on have been completed. We can start preliminary preparations while discussing the contract. I am also considering this for you. From April to October, the average daily maximum temperature there is above 30 degrees."

Prince Al Saud spread his hands and said helplessly, "Although I don't care about more heat subsidies, you don't want your workers to work in the scorching heat, right?"

"Okay, if you win, I will notify Longxing Construction Group Company. If we can take over, we will make preparations to start construction as soon as possible. The time is really tight!" Fang Mingyuan sighed helplessly. Taking on projects overseas is not a good idea.

It is enough just for the workers to come over, and a large amount of required engineering equipment must be transported together. From China to Saudi Arabia, air transportation and rail transportation are undoubtedly unrealistic. Sea transportation is cheap and has a large volume, but the speed is limited.

It can't be faster.

Shi Wenli was filled with envy on the sidelines. He had also heard that the King's Economic City project was led by the current king of Saudi Arabia. It is said that the initial investment was as high as 20 to 30 billion US dollars. In the end, it may take

Investment of hundreds of billions of dollars. With the status of Prince Al Saud, it is naturally impossible to negotiate with Fang Mingyuan for several projects with investment of tens of millions of dollars. The starting investment of these projects should be hundreds of millions of dollars, that is to say

, the two of them had just finished talking and laughing about the construction contract negotiation for a project with a total investment of more than one billion US dollars.

Although it is said that Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. has completed over one billion U.S. dollars of projects in the domestic real estate industry and even invested more, how can making money from Chinese people be the same as making money from foreigners!

Zheng Haoan and Shi Wenli sent Fang Mingyuan and Prince Al Saud out of the hotel, watched the two convoys disappear at the end of the road, and then turned back.

"Chairman Shi, if you are not in a hurry to take a rest, can we chat in the coffee shop?" Zheng Haoan asked with a smile. Because of Prince Al Saud, they didn't drink much afterwards, but they didn't continue to talk about the relationship between the two parties.

Cooperation matters. However, the two have no regrets. After all, being able to further deepen their relationship with Prince Al Saud will have many benefits for the two of them to develop the company's business in the Middle East and even around the world in the future. Fang Mingyuan obviously also thought of it.

Knowing this, in the subsequent conversation, they also deliberately made them more familiar with Prince Al Saud.

"Mr. Zheng invites you, how can I say no?" Shi Wenli chuckled. How could he miss the opportunity to get closer to Zheng Haoan? There are many friends and many ways, not to mention that the Zheng family is well-known in Hong Kong.

From a wealthy family, Zheng Haoan is also the next head of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Shop.

The two of them sat down in the cafe inside the Burj Al Arab Hotel. Shi Wenli asked: "Prince Al Saud's sudden arrival just now interrupted our conversation. I don't know if Mr. Zheng is coming this time to meet with Mr. Fang."

What kind of cooperation will be carried out?”

"He hopes that I can invest in the Dubai Emirates Mall project." Zheng Hao'an said with a smile, "The project has been 80% completed, but now funds are tight." Although he said this, Zheng Hao'an also said after the inspection

Understand that Fang Mingyuan is helping Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Shop to pave the way in Dubai. No matter how short of money Burj World Company is, there is still no pressure to persist until the completion and opening of the Emirates Mall in Dubai. With Fang Mingyuan's ability, he can scrape together billions

Tens of billions of dollars are hard to come by, but it is not difficult to find a few hundred million dollars of capital. And once the Dubai Emirates Mall is completed and opened, it will definitely become a major tourist attraction in the Middle East. After all, people can spend a lot of time in it.

One-day large shopping malls are still very attractive to wealthy people in the Middle East and even the world, and Dubai is a low-tax country. The prices of luxury goods here are excitingly low! And if the Zheng family invests in this project

, then when this shopping mall opens in the future, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold will naturally occupy the best position in the gold and jewelry area, and can also enjoy many benefits as a shareholder. This will help Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold to further expand its products in the Middle East.

Regional market share is of great significance.

"Dubai Emirates Mall?" Shi Wenli said after a moment, "Is it the shopping mall that claims to be the largest retail mall in the world?"

"Well, that's it." Zheng Hao'an nodded and said, "The ambitions of Dubai people are really...indescribable." For such a large-scale retail mall in the desert, the investment is naturally astonishingly high. But once it opens, it will definitely attract people.

People, at least those tourists who come to Dubai, must come and take a look.

"Haha, people in Dubai obviously want to take the Burj Al Arab model to the extreme!" Shi Wenli laughed, "If it weren't for the fact that this model is not accessible to everyone, I would really like to copy it in China."

"Chairman Shi's words are on point!" Zheng Hao'an agreed, "I have also thought about building a retail mall in Hong Kong that is at least the largest in East Asia, but after careful consideration, I feel that the possibility of losing money is still very high.

of."

Shi Wenli nodded in agreement. The reason why Dubai is able to successfully play this model is also related to its many unique factors. For example, it is located at the combination of the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa.

This is a large Middle Eastern region. There is neither a big war nor so many rules and regulations. Even non-Arabs can live a normal life as long as they pay some attention here, unlike in other countries.

There are all kinds of inconveniences, which makes other countries in the Middle East face many difficulties even if they want to copy this model. For example, it has a large number of wealthy people in its own country and neighboring countries, and it can also attract a large number of tourists from other countries. And

These conditions are not available in China. The two of them couldn't help but lamented that neither Hong Kong nor Sanshan City seemed to have such conditions.

"Mr. Zheng, do you, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Shop, plan to...accept Mr. Fang's invitation?" Shi Wenli asked.

"Could it be that Chairman Shi is planning to refuse?" Zheng Hao'an asked in surprise.

"Of course not! Although there are risks, but Mr. Fang is involved, what is the risk?" Shi Wenli shook his head and said, "I was just thinking about how to further cooperate with Mr. Fang. Domestic real estate

The industry and the development area are too disorderly. The price of land continues to rise, and there are a lot of taxes and fees. And the housing prices are already sky-high for ordinary citizens. There are endless voices calling for controlling housing prices. We are like a trap.

In it, the mice in the bellows receive the wind from left to right."

"House prices in Hong Kong are higher than those in the Mainland." Zheng Hao'an patted Shi Wenli on the shoulder and said, "What about Longxing Construction Group Company? I haven't heard Mingyuan complain about being plywood."

"Of course he won't be mad at the splint." Shi Wenli smiled bitterly, "Not every company can operate like the companies under the Fang family. First of all, the business of Longxing Construction Group Company is not limited to the construction of residential buildings.

, it can undertake the construction of airports, railways, bridges, tunnels, highways, power stations, hydropower stations and other projects. Secondly, a large part of the raw materials required for Longxing Construction Group's steel, building materials, cement and other projects are made of Fang

Provided by other companies under the company, not only quality is guaranteed, but quantity is also guaranteed. Third, the residential community development of Longxing Construction Group Company is often large-scale development, such as Qinglongguan Community in Beijing, which can meet the housing needs of hundreds of thousands of people.

, and he can also ensure that the employment around the community and the traffic conditions in the community are better than similar communities. Fourth, the local government generally hopes that the Fang family’s investment projects will drive other investors to invest in the local area, so they do not treat them as such.

They will not make any excessive demands and will not ask for benefits. Fifth, the communities of Longxing Construction Group Co., Ltd. are of the best quality at the same price, and they are existing houses for sale, so they never worry about sales...

…”

"Wait a minute, as far as I know, Sanshan Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. is also a top-notch company in the real estate industry in the mainland. Why do you think there is still a big gap between it and Longxing Construction Group Co., Ltd.?"

Zheng Hao'an interrupted Shi Wenli's words and said doubtfully.

"In terms of construction level, design capabilities, cost control capabilities, and profitability, among domestic construction companies, including those large state-owned group companies, Longxing Construction Group Company is also the best. If nothing else, in these years,

Fang Shao has always introduced leading foreign construction technologies from overseas. Longxing Construction Group Company also has its own research institutions, and every year it invests billions or even billions in technology research and development. The most important thing is that Longxing Construction Group Co., Ltd.

The reputation of Xing Construction Group Co., Ltd. is the best in the country!" Shi Wenli explained. The natural disaster that shocked China and foreign countries also made the construction quality of Longxing Construction Group Co., Ltd. known to the world. All buildings in the earthquake area were constructed by Longxing Construction Group Co., Ltd.

Except for a few buildings built by the group company that were affected by large landslides and were seriously damaged, most of them have maintained the integrity of their main structures. Compared with the buildings that collapsed in pieces in the earthquake area

, forming a sharp contrast. Nowadays, some important buildings in China are even approached by Longxing Construction Group Company and asked to be constructed by them.

"Now our construction companies have to find projects by themselves. Longxing Construction Group Company only needs to sit in the office and wait for projects to come to their door. That's it, they can still choose projects to do!" Shi Wenli said helplessly,

"To be honest, Mr. Zheng said that sometimes I think about merging all the construction companies under the company with Longxing Construction Group Company. I will take some shares in Longxing Construction Group Company, and all future projects of the company will be handed over to Longxing Construction Group Company."
