Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2062: The Great Project of the Century

"In the future, Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing will almost only do customized products. We will try not to make mass-produced products because they are really boring. Of course, we also have time constraints. Now the Crown Prince of Qatar has given us eight satellite city construction projects. If necessary, we will carry out the project construction."

"You can try my idea with a European company. They have dug the Suez Canal in your country, so they might be interested!"

Although Ji Donglai is suspected of plagiarism in this crazy plan, it is absolutely in line with the current international situation and is more in line with the thinking of young Salman.

As a national leader and the leader of a superpower in the Middle East, everyone wants to establish a tough guy image in the hearts of the people. However, in recent years, people have seen Saudi Arabia's weakness in the petrodollar plan.

Some people even jokingly called it America's lackey and the number one ally in the Middle East.

But we cannot ignore that the other side has a dream of becoming a great power, whether in religion or other aspects, and has been competing with Iran for the top spot in the Middle East for so many years.

All of Saudi Arabia's large oil fields are located along the Persian Gulf. Every time it sells oil to other countries, it has to look at Iran's mood. If Iran is unhappy, the oil cannot be shipped out.

Iraq, Kuwait and Qatar are among the richest oil-producing countries in the world.

Everyone wants to break free from the control of other countries. Once Saudi Arabia opens a direct channel from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, these countries will without exception become more dependent on Saudi Arabia.

More importantly, the entire oil route will easily avoid the Gulf of Aden, and the threat of pirates will become a myth, and all oil companies will flock to it.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Salman became. But as a veteran politician, he did not show it.

"We need a more detailed plan, Mr. Ji, we are friends..."

It is still a very cunning political rhetoric, from morality to ethics, and then to economic benefits, with one core meaning: bring me a mature plan.

"No! If you want a mature plan, bring the money and we will make it for you based on the scale of the project. We need to conduct a field investigation, otherwise we can't do it. Now it's just a concept."

"This concept itself is worth 10 million US dollars. You can give it to anyone. I have no objection! If you think we can do better, then come to us. We will quote according to the actual situation. Before that, there is no plan!"

After closing the PPT, Ji Donglai turned on the lights in the room. Little Salman stared at Ji Donglai's eyes for three minutes.

Knowing that Ji Donglai would not give him any other information, he had to give up in the end. Instead of the 10 million, the other party gave Ji Donglai a shopping card of the largest supermarket in Dubai, worth 100,000 US dollars.

"Here you go. We're going to Dubai tomorrow. Buy whatever you want. Spend it all!"

After sending little Salman away, Ji Donglai handed the card directly to Ran Bo, who immediately widened his eyes.

"Fuck, this card is also made of gold. Do you think they will take it back after I spend it, Mr. Ji? Should I calculate the amount I spent and leave a dollar in it so that they can't take it back, right? From now on, I can put this card on the first page of my wallet. Who among my friends is better than me..."

The golden card felt heavy in my hand.

Ran Bo knew immediately that this thing must be pure gold, and his face was full of excitement. Ji Donglai gave him a fierce look and went back to the hotel to sleep.

Not long after, Ji Donglai was pushed awake by someone. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Qiu Ranran.

"Cousin, when did you come?"

Looking at Qiu Ranran, Ji Donglai glanced at Ran Bo, who had already started pouring water. Qiu Ranran was almost unstoppable on Ran Bo's side. "I was talking to you, but you ignored me. You've become more capable, right, Ji Donglai?"

Watching Ji Donglai get up, Qiu Ranran sat on the sofa with a stern face.

Ji Donglai covered his forehead and then stood up.

"How could that be? You're not in the guest seats, are you? You're the woman wearing the sally, I didn't recognize you! Have you found another big project?"

Thinking that there was indeed a woman in the guest seats who greeted him, Ji Donglai ignored her.

"Tsk, what an excuse! Saudi Arabia is looking for you. Is there another big project? Tell me about it so I can prepare. Do you have to let me know about this factory when it comes?"

As a family member, Qiu Ranran wants all of Ji Donglai's projects.

Especially when it comes to Saudi Arabia, once construction starts, they are all large projects. Qiu Ranran did not get the project from Ji Donglai last time, but fortunately, he has the ecological new city in Qatar.

With the addition of various projects one after another, Qiu Ranran's company made a lot of money and the leaders were very happy.

Qiu Ranran’s company also took over the subsequent maintenance.

"Ran Bo, get a map and a ruler!"

Ji Donglai knew his elder sister's mentality, so he took a pencil and drew a straight line between Chittagong and Liad, then measured the translation distance according to the scale and colored it in black.

"We will build a city belt in the middle, and next to the city belt there will be a large canal that runs through the entire Arabian Peninsula, which can smoothly pass all types of ships of the Suez Canal specifications!"

"The three-dimensional structure of this city is based on the Qatar Eco-New City, a series of cities! You can make a plan, but it may not be completed. It may take three to five years at the shortest and six to seven years at the longest."

"You know these guys are very slow. They hold meetings with chiefs and argue over trivial matters. For such a large project that spans the entire country, you can imagine how many forces will be involved and how many difficulties will be overcome."

"If you are brave enough, send someone to investigate along this line now, but do it in secret. Don't let Saudi Arabia think we are determined to win, otherwise they will lower the price for us."

"These guys are not some wealthy people, they are quite smart. Hao Kun will reach some new projects with them at this stage, so you just need to prepare!"

Considering the difficulty and scale of this project, Ji Donglai did not tell the other party that it was a sure thing.

This is itself a product of a complex regional and local structure game. If the East and the West reach a reconciliation, then this project will always remain on the drawing board.

If the two sides remain in a complicated struggle, then this canal is inevitable.

As for the urban belt? It is actually a byproduct.

With this Grand Canal, the economy along the route will surely be boosted to take off, and the population will also surely be boosted to take off.

This event will achieve the de facto unification of the entire Saudi Arabia, which has the same effect as the Grand Canal built by Emperor Yang of Sui. With this canal, the economies of northern and southern China began to gradually synchronize.
