Tang Xiaochuan has never had this experience before eating dinner after ten o'clock in the evening.

Prince Durham’s mansion is brightly lit, with many guard posts outside, and dozens of waiters in the villa come and go to deliver food to every guest.

There are nearly thirty people sitting around a large rectangular dining table, with a dozen on each side. In front of everyone is flatbread, roast beef and lamb, chicken, camel meat, seasonal fruits, fresh raw vegetables, butter, honey, and beans. Sauce, there are drinks, but no wine.

Prince Durham, who was sitting in the host, said to Tang Xiaochuan and the accompanying executives: "Mr. Tang, Madam and everyone, we are not allowed to drink alcohol here, so I am very sorry that we cannot entertain you with alcohol. I hope that these foods can be used to entertain you. It suits your taste!"

Tang Xiaochuan took a piece of flatbread and ate it with a little bean paste, nodded and said, "It tastes good, it is grilled to be tender on the inside and burnt on the outside! Your Royal Highness is polite. We have a saying called "Do as the locals do". If you want to eat our domestic food , We brought it ourselves, and since we have come to your country, we often have food here in your country!"

During the meal, Tang Xiaochuan found that apart from Guan Jingwen and the other two women in the accompanying executives sitting at the table, none of the women on Prince Durham’s side attended, not even the prince and concubine, until the end of the meal, Tang Only when Xiaochuan asked the branch manager Huo Binghua learned from him that in the country, women can only eat with their husbands and children, and they cannot attend when outsiders are present.

And even Guan Jingwen and two other senior women were asked to wear the local traditional women's gown, Abaiya, before they came, and they could only show their faces.

Hotel, seven o'clock in the morning.

Tang Xiaochuan, Guan Jingwen and other people ate breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Huo Binghua, general manager of the branch, reported today’s itinerary to Tang Xiaochuan: "Boss, at eight o’clock we will set off by car to meet Prince Durham, and then we will visit some local restaurants. Enterprises, factories, shops, government agencies, temples!"

"I will go back to the hotel for lunch around one noon, and then leave after four o'clock in the afternoon to continue the visit. After seven o'clock, we will end today's itinerary."

Tang Xiaochuan nodded after hearing this, and asked, "They made the specific itinerary separately? Have you asked for your opinions?"

"We have solicited our opinions. This itinerary has been discussed by both parties. Only Prince Durham and I know the detailed itinerary and his assistant secretary!"

After breakfast, everyone left the hotel and set off to meet Prince Durham. Tang Xiaochuan walked out of the hotel door and found that there was no one outside the hotel, not only on the square outside the hotel, nor on the street. , A car, everything is quiet, no birds can be heard, but the sun rises from the east.

Tang Xiaochuan wondered: "Huo Binghua, what's going on? It's half past seven now, right? Why can't you see a person and a car on the street? The world is still?"

Howard quickly explained: "Boss, this is how it is here. The people in Saudi Arabia sleep late. Except for government officials and some shop and business people, most of them don't go to work. Some people wake up at four or five in the morning. Apart from praying, most other people sleep until noon until they wake up, so we can’t see a single figure for this reason!"

Tang Xiaochuan sighed: "What a long experience!"

After meeting with Prince Durham, we went to a food company located in the suburbs, mainly producing dried cheese. A small part of its products are supplied to the domestic people, most of which are exported abroad. Tang Xiaochuan tasted a bit after visiting and found this cheese The dry is the kind they ate at the dinner last night, and it is of high quality.

Most of the more famous enterprises in Saudi Arabia are in Riyadh, but there are relatively few in Mecca. This is a holy land, and the tourism industry is relatively developed. There are as many as millions of people who visit and visit here every year.

After visiting two building material manufacturing companies, Tang Xiaochuan found that the building materials produced here were up to the standard and it was sufficient to build factories.

During the visit to the shops, Tang Xiaochuan found that most of the goods in these shops are from abroad, and very few of them are from the local real estate.

Huo Binghua explained in a low voice: "Before the discovery of oil, the people of Saudi Arabia were very poor. The backbone of the national economy here still mainly relies on oil. A considerable part of food and commodities need to be imported from abroad!"

In a shopping mall, Tang Xiaochuan only saw two kinds of costumes. The contrast between the two costumes is very sharp. The first is the noble and gorgeous style, inlaid with gold and silver, and beautiful. Any woman can change into a princess or princess in seconds. Queen; and the other category is women's intimate clothing. There are all kinds of clothing, only you can't think of it, and there is no one that you can't buy. It forms a strong contrast with the local strict rules and regulations for men and women.

"What a long experience!" Tang Xiaochuan sighed. It is no wonder that the suppression of human nature by strict rules and precepts will inevitably lead to people's desire to break through the shackles, and shopping malls sell all kinds of women's underwear and are very popular. This is the manifestation.

After visiting the temples in the city, Durham and Tang Xiaochuan and the others returned to the hotel. Tang Xiaochuan acted as the host and invited Durham and his party to have lunch.

On the way, Tang Xiaochuan was sitting in the car through the window and found that shops were closed one after another. This surprised him, "It's only one o'clock in the afternoon. Why are these shops closed?"

Huo Binghua explained: "Boss, this is the case, because the people of Saudi Arabia have the custom of prayer. Thursday and Friday are their weekends. Official institutions and corporate stores are closed. Others usually pray five times a day. During the prayer period, Both official institutions and corporate stores must be closed, including four prayers after the afternoon!"

"Then where do they go to pray?"

"Temples, haven't you found temples on the streets? These temples can basically meet their needs!"

Tang Xiaochuan sighed: "I have taken it!"

On the street, in the streets and alleys, Tang Xiaochuan saw some tall and slender women wearing long black robes, veiled black veils, and black sand turbans, only showing a pair of bright eyes outside. These sandy women are good. The color is hurried, full of mystery.

After four o’clock in the afternoon, the visit and inspection are mainly for the local infrastructure construction. If Tang Xiaochuan wants to open a new energy plant here, he must consider the transportation conditions here. If this is not possible, the investment is meaningless.

In the evening, Tang Xiaochuan accompanied Guan Jingwen to go shopping for a while. The tourism industry here is very developed. There are foreigners everywhere. Foreign women wear black robes in public. Even members of the royal family are no exception, but in foreign countries People in the community can do whatever they want, and they must put on a black robe once they go out.

"There is no entertainment here at night. The people of Shah people like to gather together to drink black tea and talk about the mountains, and often chat until midnight!" Huo Binghua, general manager of the branch, introduced the night life of people here to Tang Xiaochuan and Guan Jingwen.

Tang Xiaochuan said, "Can you take us to see and see?"

"Okay, I met a few local entrepreneurs here, and I often chat with them!" Huo Binghua took Tang Xiaochuan and others to the door after he finished speaking, but it was relatively late, and Guan Jingwen wanted to rest. Back to the hotel under the protection.

At the home of a local entrepreneur, Tang Xiaochuan and his party were warmly treated.

In the living room of this entrepreneur, there is a huge Persian carpet, very beautiful, with tea, dried cheese, raisins, and preserves placed in the middle, and everyone sits in a circle and chats.

Tang Xiaochuan found that the people of Shah were very good at chatting, and they were comparable to Northeast Yin. After Huo Binghua explained, he knew that the reason why the murderer was able to speak well was because of this life habit. He sat down and talked about the mountains every night. No matter how stupid the mouth is, it is estimated that a person will become an orator.

On the second day, Tang Xiaochuan and his party were accompanied by Prince Durham and others to Riyadh for an inspection. Originally, he had to arrange a helicopter to go there, but Tang Xiaochuan had to investigate the traffic conditions along the way, so he took a special car to go there. The entire fleet added up. There are more than 20 vehicles and military escorts.

The climate in Saudi Arabia is too hot, and there are frequent sandstorms and hail attacks. On the way to Riyadh, the convoy of Tang Xiaochuan and others encountered a sudden wave of hail. Fortunately, the quality of the car was still excellent and it was not smashed.

When I arrived in Riyadh, I saw a tall building far away.

Huo Binghua, the general manager of the branch in the passenger seat, introduced: "That is the Kingdom Center Building funded by the current king. It is more than 300 meters high. It is undoubtedly very difficult to build such a tall building in such a harsh environment. , So this building is known as one of the seven world wonders of modern new buildings!"

Both Tang Xiaochuan and Guan Jingwen looked into the distance from the car window. The shape of the Kingdom Center Building was like the end of an engineer shovel with a hand inserted into the ground.

"Is there anything else to pay attention to here? Tell us, lest you unintentionally offend people because of different customs and habits!" Tang Xiaochuan said to Huo Binghua.

Huo Binghua said: "There is nothing special. Most of them have said it before. Oh, and one thing I almost forgot to say is that the people of Saudi Arabia are very hospitable. They like to invite friends to their homes and entertain them with their families. Look around, especially don’t stare at an object forever. Otherwise, the generous and hospitable sand people will think you like this object, and within their abilities, they will give it to you if you stare at a copy. Book look, they will give you the book, if you keep staring at a knife, they will give it to you, you praise their Persian carpets are exquisite, they are likely to roll up the carpet and give it to you to take away , If you don’t want it, they will think you don’t appreciate it, and you might end up unhappy in the end!"
