Chapter 727: The little nine of the old chief

"The characteristics of us Arabs? What characteristics?"
"Of course it's just that the sky is dim, the sun and the moon are dull... Cough cough cough, it should be not for the best, but for the most expensive... Cough cough cough, I don't know how to describe it, three princes, can you understand the spirit? ?"
"...I probably understand, Eric, you mean our ability to boast of wealth, right?"
"Yes, that's right, the term of the third prince is very appropriate, and that's what I mean."
"But how can this skill be reflected in the landmark buildings you just mentioned?"
Hey, the third prince, you are so happy to admit it?
"Well, it's too simple. For example, if you want to build a hotel, then you have to build it as the most luxurious in the world. If people use a 5-star standard, you will get a 7-star rating; if you want to build an office building, Just look at the tallest building in the world; if you plan to build a garden, it must be the largest and most diverse in the world; if you plan on the entire submarine restaurant, it must also be the deepest, the kind that can only go down by submarine …, in a word, no matter what you plan to do, you have to make it the number one in the world. There is no "most" prefix to describe it. It would be embarrassing to go out to meet people!"
This kid really knows us well. The third prince Sheikh thought in his heart: Don’t tell me, don’t see if we Arabs do anything else, but when it comes to showing off our wealth, luxury and enjoying good face, then if we recognize the second, I’m afraid that no one in the world dares to recognize the first. I just don't know how the old chief felt after hearing his words.
He couldn't help but cast his eyes on his father again, and he found that the old chief's mouth was already grinning to the root of his ears.
"Eric," the old chief said while panting and laughing: "You are really a close friend of our Arabs!"
...
The Arabs’ tradition of outrageous hospitality was further proved by the old chief. When the three of them were chatting, a servant came in to inform that lunch was ready. The old chief immediately got up and took Tan Zhenhua to the restaurant. Did not take into account the noble status of his chief.
Because he did enough homework in advance, Tan Zhenhua’s performance at the table was praised by the old chief. He followed the Arab etiquette completely. He cleaned his hands before entering the table, rolled the rice into small and put it in his mouth. Strips of roasted whole lamb, no cutlery, and always use your right hand...
The old chief believes that this Chinese teenager can fully respect the folk customs of his own nation and make careful preparations in advance. This fully shows that this young man is a person who can respect and consider others. Such a talent is a friend worth making— —Especially this young man still has an important mission and he is also a rare outstanding person.
This young man will definitely be the best in the new generation of China in the future. Being able to become good friends with such a person is very beneficial to Sheikh, Dubai, and Alian. The old chief thought this way, and looked at the two opposite him with a smile, although they were more than ten years old, but they were like old friends talking and laughing.
And in his heart, there is a little Jiujiu playing crackling: Dubai or Alian, after all, it is only a small country, and fortunately and unfortunately, this small country was born in the Persian Gulf. Born in the Middle East, the most turbulent region in the world.
The original geopolitics here is very complicated. The Persians, Jews, Kurds, Turks, and Arabs have been entangled with each other for thousands of years, and different sects and beliefs have divided the interior of the Arab world, coupled with the concession of oil. The resources that people love and hate bring wealth and covet hands...
Countless historical experiences told him that a small country with oil and wealth must be the target of those greedy predators in the world. There are only two ways to protect itself.
Or, they will completely take refuge in a powerful party, willing to give up what they have, and become a running dog of the other party, losing all their autonomy.
To be honest, although it is a shame to do so, it is not an option that cannot be considered. Looking around the world, the United States and the Soviet Union are the only ones who are eligible.
America? Forget it, let’s not say anything else. An Israel issue is the gap between the Arab world and the United States that cannot be crossed. Based on the consistent position of the United States and its domestic political situation, it is also between the United States and the United States. You can only get close, you can't take refuge, or you won't know when it will be sold out.
Soviet Russia? What a joke, the greedy giant bear is too ugly to eat. Afghanistan treats it like this, but because of a small conflict of interest, it can launch aggression and execute its leader without hesitation. Country, who dares to take refuge in a sincere and wholehearted manner? Aren't you afraid that your little fate will follow Amin's footsteps?
What's more, Soviet Russia is also desperately selling oil and natural gas in the international market, and it is the country's actual commercial competitor.
Obviously, this road is unworkable. At least, it is unworkable for the time being, so we can only consider another one.
"We, the Arab Emirates, have always pursued a neutral and non-aligned foreign policy, adhere to a peaceful diplomacy of good-neighborliness and friendship, advocate the settlement of disputes through peaceful consultations, and maintain world peace; we oppose foreign powers’ contention and expansion in the Gulf region, and emphasize the freedom of passage of Gulf waterways. Must be guaranteed"...
Cough cough cough, of course you can say the same at the press conference, anyway, it doesn’t cost money, and no one really believes...
The real core idea of ​​this other path is actually-to walk between all the forces, neither too close nor too far away, so that several major forces feel that they can be drawn in but they may also be drawn to the enemy. I want to be strong and worried about the enemy’s support so as to completely fall into the arms of the opponent-this will maintain a delicate balance and allow oneself to have a certain degree of autonomy anyway. However, doing so will affect its foreign policy and The level of policy executors is a great test.
After communication with the old president last night and the subsequent secret conference call with all the 7 chiefs participating in the conference, everyone agreed to take this opportunity to establish an unofficial communication channel with China Xia and make further trials. If China is willing to help Alian to maintain the current diplomatic policy, then it is imperative to formally establish diplomatic relations with China, because this is a painful swing between the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union. For the long time Alian Chieftain, it is indeed a great thing that can rebalance the power.
The sophisticated old chief knows that even if a normal diplomatic relationship is finally established with China, this kind of communication through unofficial and private relations is sometimes more effective. This world is so realistic. In many cases, the transactions concluded under the table are the cornerstones on which the high-sounding provisions on the table can be established.
Therefore, this Eric Tan, both now and in the future, must have a good relationship. Since he can come with that important secret mission, it fully demonstrates his energy in China, and he controls His huge wealth is a powerful endorsement of this.
The old chief is really happy to see if his third son can become good friends with him.
Well, in order to help this relationship become stronger, the old chief doesn't mind adding some weight to it.
The atmosphere of lunch was so harmonious and the timing was right.
