Chapter 230: Leave Half
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass of Guilty Feng Ting (two) and Lou Minoru. Thank you for the many tips from the book friend China Raul. We ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets from all of you.
"Yes, this is just the first step of Jihua, with the completion of this Shijie No. 1 ultra-luxury hotel, the construction of the Emirate of Dubai into a luxury place that Shijie rich people yearn for!" Fang Mingyuan smiled, "I hope that in 2,000 years, in the Middle East, there will be a resort that is not inferior to Las Vegas in the United States." ”
"Las Vegas?" The famous American casino, how could Mark Tum not know. Nevada's largest city is famous for its huge tourism, shopping and vacation industries centered on the gambling industry, and its geographical environment is somewhat similar to Dubai, which was originally the only oasis with springs in the surrounding desolate desert and semi-desert areas. Later, due to the legal development of the gambling industry, it has developed rapidly, becoming one of the four major gambling cities in Shijie, attracting tens of millions of domestic and foreign tourists every year!
"Fang, according to our teachings, it is not allowed to carry out the gambling business." Prince Abdullah reminded softly, "But. But it doesn't limit us to invest in this business. ”
"Of course, it's not for you to start a gambling business in Dubai!" Fang Mingyuan laughed, Prince Abdullah's reaction was completely unexpected, "I'm just saying that Dubai can consider developing an industry like Las Vegas, with an industry, such as tourism, as the core, and develop its related industries." Las Vegas and Dubai are still quite different, and they can be said to have advantages for each other. Although Dubai cannot develop the gambling industry, it has a beautiful view of the bay that Las Vegas does not have. ”
Prince Maktum nodded proudly, as the prince of the Emirate of Dubai, he has great confidence in the beauty of his country's Gulf. Las vegas? What are the imitations of the places of interest in Shijie? Fang Mingyuan's words can be said to have won his heart.
Fang Mingyuan smiled, in fact, in the previous life, after two thousand years, Las Vegas has developed a lot, from a giant amusement park, a sin city, to a well-known resort. Gambling is no longer the core of the city, it has been built into the entertainment capital of Shijie, where you can find food from all over Shijie, buy well-known goods from all over Shijie, browse art from all over Shijie, and enjoy wonderful performances by masters from all over Shijie...... At the very least, everything you need for a diverse city can be found here!
Las Vegas, a city with a total population of no more than two million, would still be a barren Gobi Desert if Americans lacked imagination and creativity. Today, it can attract 30 to 40 million tourists from home and abroad every year, and the degree of tourism development ranks first among all cities in the United States! There was no agriculture or industry in the city, but it was one of the wealthiest cities in the United States, with tourism and entertainment.
In Fang Mingyuan's view, the emirate of Dubai in the previous life actually took the same route as Las Vegas.
"For example?" Prince Abdullah asked.
"For example, the financial industry, for example, business, for example, the transportation industry!" Fang Mingyuan replied without hesitation.
In the previous life, the United Arab Emirates, but the most developed financial industry in the Middle East, is said to have more than 300 domestic banks and more than 100 foreign banks, and there are no foreign exchange controls, currency enters and exits freely, and the exchange rate is also very stable.
At that time, when he saw this information, Fang Mingyuan simply wondered if he was dazzled, a small United Arab Emirates, not as big as a province in China, and the population may only be a fraction to a dozen, how can there be so many banks, how can this ensure the stability of the financial order, and how can these banks ensure that there are enough savings? After several confirmations, Fang Mingyuan determined that this was the case in the United Arab Emirates. This could not help but make him very skeptical about the development level of the domestic banking industry. As the Emirate of Dubai is part of the United Arab Emirates, it is needless to say that the level of development of the banking industry is needless to say.
As for the business and transportation industry, not to mention, if Dubai can become a well-known luxury place in Shijie, a famous resort destination, then the tide of tourists from all over Shijie will definitely greatly promote the development of business and transportation in the Emirate of Dubai.
Prince Maktum pondered for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Fang, if you want to achieve this goal, the funds required must be extremely huge, although the Emirate of Dubai is rich, but it is still difficult to complete it with the strength of one country. He roughly calculated that at present, these industries in the Emirate of Dubai are not yet developed, and if they want to meet the standards envisioned by Fang Mingyuan, the government of the Emirate of Dubai will bear huge financial pressure in the short term.
Fang Mingyuan drank all the coffee in the cup, signaled to the servant next to him not to refill his cup, and then said: "It's difficult, but if it doesn't have some challenges, who will cherish the fruits of victory that are easy to get?" And Prince Maktum, have you thought about it, the more difficult it is, the less reproducible it is. ”
Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah were stunned when they heard this, and after a moment, they nodded slowly. Fang Mingyuan is right, if this jihua can be easily completed, then when the Emirate of Dubai stands brilliantly in the Persian Gulf, I am afraid that in a few years, many cities similar to Dubai will appear in the Middle East. In that case, for the Emirate of Dubai, it will definitely divide a part of the passenger flow that belongs to it.
"Let's continue chatting, I'm a little tired, can His Royal Highness the Prince send someone to take me to the guest room to rest and rest." Fang Mingyuan stood up and said with a smile.
"Huh?" Prince Maktum looked at Fang Mingyuan in surprise, this was a good conversation, why did Fang Mingyuan suddenly stop? He's anxious to hear what to come. However, Prince Abdullah reacted quickly and reached out to summon a servant.
Fang Mingyuan left the deck, and Chen Zhong naturally followed behind him. The servant led them to a suite on the second floor of the yacht, which was entirely Arabic-style, with a carpet thick enough to bury the ankle bones, and the smell of spices. Fang Mingyuan lay on the sofa casually, after staying on the deck for so long, he was indeed a little tired. After all, the body of a young man cannot be compared with that of an adult.
"Fang Shao, do you really have a complete set of jihua?" Chen Zhong poured Fang Mingyuan a cup of tea, put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and couldn't help but ask softly. Although he has followed Fang Mingyuan for so long, he also knows a lot of insiders, and understands that Fang Mingyuan's thinking is very abnormal, but in such a short period of time, he has been able to conceive a complete set of plans for the development of an emirate according to the requirements of Prince Maktum, and so far, what this plan has spit out has been approved by Prince Maktum, and this result is too amazing.
Chen Zhong was a little worried, if Fang Mingyuan's follow-up plan was unsatisfactory, would Prince Maktum, who felt very lost, be annoyed and angry, after all, this was his territory, and he was alone, but he couldn't protect Fang Mingyuan. But he also understood that if Fang Mingyuan was not a little sure, he would never open this mouth.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, with Prince Maktum, how can you make such a joke." Fang Mingyuan's calm smile made Chen Zhong feel at ease.
In his previous life, the destruction of the "Dubai myth" made the Emirate of Dubai known to the world, and Fang Mingyuan also became truly interested in the Emirate of Dubai, which he had heard of for a long time. Although the information he has seen is not detailed, the direction of development of the Emirate of Dubai in those years is still very clear.
Dubai's success lies in the fact that its government provides maximum convenience and freedom of access in three areas. The first is the flow of people, and visas for the Emirate of Dubai are relatively easy to get compared to countries in the Middle East, and even most countries in the whole of Shijie; The second is the transportation industry, the world's goods, whether by container shipping or air logistics, to Dubai is very convenient, which has laid a solid foundation for the development of tourism and business in the Emirate of Dubai; The third is capital, Dubai does not have any control on foreign exchange of funds, and the convenient, fast and complete financial service system allows hundreds of millions of hot money from all over Shijie to flow into this land almost without resistance......
In order to attract investment, Dubai has formulated a large number of preferential policies, even abolished income and consumption taxes, and attracted global investors with an almost tax-free trade opening policy. The funds for its investment mainly come from capitalist countries such as Europe and the United States. The Emirate of Dubai's government has a very simple way of attracting investment, that is, positioning all projects as "the best in the world", and attracting global capital and high-end people to Dubai by attracting the attention of all shijie people.
If it weren't for the fact that the Emirate of Dubai paid too much attention to the development of the real estate industry, the prices of land and houses rose like a spring, becoming sky-high prices, resulting in a complete rupture of the capital chain when the global financial crisis hit, otherwise the "Dubai myth" would continue to be staged. Therefore, he believes that his plan of drawing a scoop based on a gourd will definitely be approved by Prince Maktum!
The reason why he suddenly proposed to come down and rest was not that he didn't "think" of a follow-up plan!
