Chapter 4005: City of Science and Technology

"Harmandan, it looks like I can't just leave like this!" Lin Feng got off the helicopter. .

"Lin, it's okay. You can go and do your business. The prosperity that Dubai has today cannot be achieved overnight. In the same way, it's really despising how easy it is to surpass Dubai." Harmandan said arrogantly, "Abu Dhabi is indeed rich. Khalifa II does have much more funds than me, but it is not easy to surpass me!"

Khalifa II! Lin Feng's mouth moved. Regarding this Khalifa II, Lin Feng had naturally heard of this person. Although the two have never met, it does not mean that Lin Feng does not understand him.

Strictly speaking, I still have some connection with Khalifa II. The last time he borrowed US$80 billion from the Abu Dhabi consortium through Suleiman, it expired in July this year. The actual controller of the Abu Dhabi Consortium is Khalifa II. Suleiman is one of its shareholders. Therefore, he still owes Khalifa II a huge sum of money.

"Harmandan, what is your relationship with Khalifa II?" Lin Feng asked.

"In terms of blood, we are not related by blood. It's just that when Sheikh Zeid advocated the establishment of the United Arab Emirates, my father was also one of the sheikhs, and we are old friends. However, because the two sides have different development philosophies, there are already some differences. We haven’t seen each other much in years. It’s just that Abu Dhabi has always been the political and spiritual center of the Arab world, as well as the economic center. However, with the rise of Dubai, my father’s various innovative ideas allowed Dubai to catch up economically. , surpassing Abu Dhabi, becoming the new economic center of Arabia, and becoming a window for the outside world to understand the Arab world. Naturally, Khalifa II was dissatisfied with this!" Harmandan said with a smile, "He is a few years older than me. Like his father, he wanted to create a greater Arab world, which was closely related to his family.”

Lin Feng was surprised.

The OPEC organization, whose full name is the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, was founded on September 14, 1960. It was jointly established by Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, and later joined Qatar, Libya, Nigeria, Algeria, Angola, Ecuador and other countries. Its purpose is to coordinate and unify the petroleum policies of member states and safeguard their respective and common interests.

On the surface, OPEC ensures the stability of oil prices in the international oil market by eliminating harmful and unnecessary price fluctuations, ensuring that member states can obtain stable oil revenue under any circumstances, and providing oil-consuming countries with Provide sufficient, economical and long-term oil supply. But after entering the 1970s, it also became a tool used by these oil-exporting countries to enhance their international influence.

After all, before this, although OPEC member countries had massive amounts of oil, they were in a state of letting anyone take whatever they wanted. Later, as oil prices rose and global demand for oil increased, OPEC members realized that oil was also an extremely beneficial weapon.

Of course, Lin Feng must also admire the American political ax here. Before this, after World War II, the United States, as the two superpowers coexisting with the Soviet Union, was capable of controlling the then-fugitive Arab world. But unlike the Soviet Union, which imposed political power on the areas it ruled, the United States returned power to the people. And after discovering that the Arab world had massive oil fields, they did not use occupation, but cooperation. Otherwise, I’m afraid there won’t be super tycoons like Arabs in this world.

"Lin, now Khalifa II definitely wants to use Boeing's power to compete with me for the title of the most influential country in the Arab world." Harmandan saw through Khalifa II's purpose at a glance, "But Even if Khalifa II is willing to spend money like Dubai, he cannot make Abu Dhabi become the second Dubai. Dubai has many firsts in the world, and this first has been deeply rooted in the people of the world. In my heart. Even if it is surpassed by Abu Dhabi in the future, everyone will still hold the title of No. 1 in the world. "

Lin Feng nodded. From a human thinking model, this is indeed the case. Just like after a certain brand has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, even if its brand influence is no longer there, it is still that famous brand in the hearts of the people. Only after more than ten years of decline will its brand image collapse in the hearts of the people.

"Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Abu Dhabi to surpass Dubai's influence. But with Boeing, it's different. This time Kandi is building a Boeing theme park and a space tourism company in Abu Dhabi. This is in It’s a high-tech brand. If this is the case, there is no guarantee that Abu Dhabi will not outlaw Dubai and become the new most influential emirate in Arabia! Once Abu Dhabi surpasses Dubai, Dubai’s economy will suffer a heavy blow.” So optimistic, but raised objections.

Lin Feng has never been to Ferrari Theme Park. But it is said that Ferrari theme park is indeed worth a visit. As the only Ferrari theme park in the world, it is also the largest indoor theme park in the world, covering an area of ​​86,000 square meters and costing US$40 billion. It has a number of world-unique rapid entertainment facilities inside, allowing every visitor to fully experience the thrill of Ferrari's speed.

Now with the Boeing theme park and the space tourism plan, Abu Dhabi's high-tech component is too big. Now is a technological era. It is another era of invention and creation since the British Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. Every day, new technologies are invented, and every day, the world is undergoing irreversible subtle changes.

During the Industrial Revolution, people's life changes were calculated in five or ten years, but now, every year, people feel the amazing changes happening around them. If you go back ten years, you will find that many things now are unimaginable at that time.

Technology, if Abu Dhabi plays the technology card, it will be a bit troublesome. Abu Dhabi is not short of money, Boeing is not short of technology, especially Condi has been the president of Boeing for so many years and has a wide network of contacts. If Abu Dhabi's money is used to build a technology capital, this is not impossible. Once this happens, the threat to Dubai will be great. This incident was caused by Lin Feng, and Lin Feng naturally did not want Dubai to take this risk for himself.

"Hamdan, I think we must pay attention to our opponents and not let them fail!" Lin Feng said seriously.
