The biggest feature of Saudi Arabia, or the most coveted, is undoubtedly their large amount of high-quality underground oil resources that are extremely cheap to exploit.

Although oil resources are a good thing and the absolute energy overlord in the [-]th century, for Cheng Yuan, who has mastered new materials and new energy technologies, the demand is not so urgent.

Many people say that the 21st century is the century of new energy and the era of electricity. Although oil is not yet a sunset industry, as far as the future is concerned, the sun is waning, and sooner or later, like coal, it will be relegated to the second tier.

But in fact, these people don’t understand the benefits of petroleum at all. Petroleum is not only used as energy, but also an important chemical raw material. From plastic bags, asphalt, tires, rubber to perfume, petroleum products have penetrated into human life. To put it bluntly, whoever controls oil controls modern life.

Moreover, for now, oil is still the absolute main force in the world's energy, and it is a force that influences the direction of the world pattern.

Although the technology mastered by Cheng Yuan can overthrow the leading position of oil as an energy hegemony, it will take time, and the replacement will also require huge funds. It is a good thing to cooperate with politically weak oil giants such as regions and other regions.

Therefore, making good friends with Saudi Arabia, obtaining more Saudi oil, getting involved in the construction of the Persian Gulf region, and then affecting the political direction of Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf regions is not only economically beneficial, but also politically important. the power of.Not to mention anything else, if Hua Guo knows that Cheng Yuan can get more extra cheap crude oil, it will definitely increase Cheng Yuan's importance by half a level.

However, to be honest, Cheng Yuan only has a vague idea about these considerations. How to play this card well depends on his team of think tanks.

Cheng Yuan himself currently does not have his own think tank, but his subordinate Vivienne has already established many more professional think tanks, and he will use them when the time comes.

In fact, what Cheng Yuan didn't know was that the arrival of Abdullah could not be regarded as completely representing the will of Saudi Aramco, but only representing the opinions of one of them.

As a country that has made its fortune from oil and is very rich, not everyone in Saudi Arabia's top management understands the importance of new technologies and how high the impact on the new technology itself will be.Many of them thought that it would take at least 50 years for new energy to replace petroleum.

This kind of understanding cannot be said to be wrong. You must know that in the crisis of oil shortage, the saying that new energy will inevitably replace oil resources is not new in the near future.As early as the 60s, due to the outbreak of the oil crisis, many mainstream experts at that time said that oil was only enough to be exploited for 50 years, and that at the end of the 21th century, it would be the era of new energy to replace oil resources, but now in the [-]st century, oil is still the mainstream Energy, so-called new energy, is just something that looks beautiful...

This series of events has misled many Saudi executives, making them think that as long as the price of oil is controlled and the price of oil is not allowed to rise too fast, so fast that others must use alternative energy such as new energy, then oil will continue to dominate energy world for at least 50 years.

This group of people can be said to be the mainstream of the Saudi oil industry. They have the most resources and the strongest voice.

Only the new generation like Abdullah, who have less resources, are more sensitive to the emergence of new technologies, more worried, and more aware of crisis. In other words, they use this worried crisis awareness to improve themselves. status and voice.

Originally, Abdullah just wanted to come here to gain some benefits, such as getting some export quotas for new materials, and buying some construction robots by the way, but he didn't expect Cheng Yuan to give him such a big gift, directly to build a new city for them.

There is no doubt that once this project takes shape, at least in the area controlled by Abdullah, his strength will grow rapidly, and because of this business deal, his status will rise rapidly in the family.

In short, although the negotiation with Prince Abdullah only established a verbal agreement, in many cases this kind of verbal agreement is more reliable than the paper contract, so everyone is happy.After that, the excited Prince Abdullah is going to visit the night scene here and experience the nightlife here. As for Cheng Yuan, he will go to accompany his mother immediately, so he will no longer accompany him, but let the group's public relations department send someone to arrange .

After talking with Abdullah, Cheng Yuan hurried to his mother's room, only to find that his mother was chatting cheerfully with someone, and she didn't look like she couldn't wait, and the person who was chatting with her The person is none other than Zhu Min who has been promoted to the manager of the public relations department.

Seeing Cheng Yuan approaching, Zhu Min stood up first, and nodded cordially: "Cheng Dong, you are here."

"Yeah." Nodding to Zhu Min, Cheng Yuan immediately looked at his mother, "Mom, why are you here again so soon?"

"Why, I'm not welcome?" Zhang Weihong scowled.

"Of course not, welcome, absolutely welcome." Cheng Yuan smiled apologetically, "It's just that if you come, why don't you notify me in advance, so that I can be prepared."

"Hey, I'm looking at my son, what should I prepare for?" Zhang Weihong shook his head.

"Well, what, Mom, are you here this time for something?"

"There must be something wrong," Zhang Weihong said.

"What's the matter? You can't even say it on the phone?"

"Of course it's for your lifelong event." Zhang Weihong said with a smile.

"A lifelong event?" Cheng Yuan blinked, and immediately felt something was wrong.

"That's not true." Zhang Weihong continued to laugh, "Son, since the last time you came home, I've thought about it, now you see, your career is considered successful now, then next, shouldn't you start a family early? , let us hug our grandson sooner."

"This, haven't we already said it, don't worry." Cheng Yuan said helplessly, "It's long in the future, and it's okay to talk about it later. I still have to put my career first."

"Why don't you worry, what's going on in Japan? Can you wait for this matter?" Zhang Weihong was not happy. "Besides, what conflicts do you have with your career after getting married and having children? How many people get married and their careers don't get better?" Is it? Mom is only your son, you can't fool us old couple anymore. "

"This, Mom, actually..."

"Actually, I was invited here this time." Zhang Weihong suddenly laughed again.

"Invited? Who?" Cheng Yuan was even more confused.

"Who else, of course, is your future mother-in-law, Wen Jing's mother."

"Mother Wen Jing?" Cheng Yuan was taken aback for a moment, "You mean, Shen Guofang, the boss of Chunjiang Tower? She invited you here?"

"Well, of course it's her." Zhang Weihong raised her chin proudly, "Son, it's all thanks to your face, you are a person with great ability now, not to mention the leaders around us, I heard even The leaders of the country can call you by your name, and even sent you a police guard. Hehe, I heard that the salary is higher than that of a ministerial-level cadre. Hehe, you are so capable. Don't beg me right away, otherwise, your rich son-in-law will fly away."

Cheng Yuan frowned: "Oh, that is to say, it was really Aunt Shen who called you? Asked you to come here? Are you sure it's her?"

"Of course." Zhang Weihong nodded with a smile, "Can I admit her voice? She called me to come over herself. She said, the child is not young, and she is very satisfied with you, so I thought about the two Find another opportunity to sit down and see if the marriage is decided. I thought about it, and I was right. Although the surname Shen is a bit snobbish, but Wen Jing is really good. I have nothing to say. Said, I have never seen a better girl than Wen Jing. That's it, I rushed here just to bring you to meet her family. "

As soon as she said this, Zhang Weihong's cell phone rang suddenly, she looked at it, and immediately turned on the cell phone to Cheng Yuan: "Look, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there, it's the phone number of the girl from the Shen family."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Weihong picked up the mobile phone, walked to the balcony on one side, waited a certain distance from Cheng Yuan's side, and then made a call with a smile.In short, Zhang Weihong's behavior is completely different from the previous situation where he picked up the phone and yelled, regardless of whether there were people around. Obviously, he paid more attention to image.

Taking advantage of his mother's time to make a phone call on the balcony, Cheng Yuan looked at Zhu Min and asked in a low voice, "When did my mother come here? How did she come here?"

"Auntie just came here, maybe less than an hour." Zhu Min also whispered, "She came here by taxi alone. At first, the military police at the door refused to let in. She kept saying it was you. My mother, and then someone notified me, so I went over to pick up my aunt. No, after picking up my aunt, I will call you. "

"You did a good job." Cheng Yuan nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what I should do." Zhu Min said with a smile.

As soon as I said this, I saw Zhang Weihong walking over in a hurry, and said as he walked: "Oh, son, look at my brain, I am really old, I have been confused for days, and I even remember the best time wrong. "

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yuan asked.

"What's the matter, isn't it just... hey?" Zhang Weihong suddenly said, "Son, you have nothing else to do tonight, are you busy?"

"It's okay, I still have time with you." Cheng Yuan nodded, "What's wrong?"

"Hey, it's just a meeting of the two families for dinner." Zhang Weihong said, "Originally, I made an appointment with that surname Shen for dinner on the 28th. I thought it was the 28th tomorrow, but she called me just now. , asked me why I hadn’t gone yet, and only then did I know that today is the 28th! In other words, tonight is the time I made an appointment for dinner with her... Alright son, since you are fine now, hurry up with me Let's go, it's not good to make people wait too long, it will appear that we are rude!"

"This, this..." Seeing that Zhang Weihong was about to walk out while holding his hand, Cheng Yuan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Mom, what's going on?"

"It's just an appointment for dinner." Zhang Weihong said, "We have already made an appointment. Tonight, at the restaurant in her house, I will bring you, and she will bring her daughter, and we will meet again. This time, it will be like It was more formal last time, let's be serious and serious this time, and we need to talk about your marriage!" (To be continued.)
