Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

"Hello, Mr. Tan, I am Sheikh Mohamed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, but my friends call me Sheikh. I am very glad you can accept my invitation. Please sit down."

"Hello Mr. Sheikh, I am honored to receive your invitation. My name is Tan Zhenhua, and my friends call me Eric.

Like Tan Zhenhua guessed, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum was the Middle Easterner who had competed with him for the "dragon head" bid at the auction. However, today he did not He didn't wear the classic Arabian white robe, but a suit and leather shoes. Xiao Tan Tan can now be considered as an acquaintance. At first glance, he knew that this suit must come from an old tailor shop in London that made ready-made clothes for the British royal family.

The shop Xiao Tan Tan was also introduced by Jacob Rothschild to go shopping, but the cheapest suit starts at 10,000 pounds, and you have to queue up. It takes two weeks at the earliest. Because it needs to be sewn by hand, Xiao Tan Tan is not willing to buy...

Besides, what's so strange about all hand-sewn? Young Master Tan Er grew up. Which of the clothes he wore was not all hand-sewn by his mother? Oh, not all. Later, I bought a sewing machine at home...

Twelve o’clock at noon should be the best time for the hotel’s business. There was no one in this Zheng He restaurant in the Mina Assalaam Hotel in Jumeirah, and when Tan Zhenhua used this as his opening speech During the conversation, Sheikh just shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "Because I have taken care of this restaurant, they only receive us two guests here at noon."

This kind of inadvertent pretending to show off his wealth is really... Young Master Tan Er suddenly felt that there was too much to learn.

"This Zheng He is the oldest Chinese restaurant in Dubai. Come and have a taste. The food here is not authentic and does not suit your taste. How does it compare to your hometown?" Sheikh greeted enthusiastically. He skillfully picked up the chopsticks on the table and began to pick up dishes for Tan Zhenhua. Depending on the situation, he was a regular customer of this restaurant.

Tan Zhenhua was not welcome. He picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it in his mouth. While eating it, he praised: "Yes, it tastes quite good, exactly the same as the taste of my hometown"-although from the dishes on the list, this is obviously home The Cantonese restaurant has no similarity with the dishes of Tan Zhenhua’s hometown of Yonggang or Ningdu, his second hometown.

After swallowing a shrimp dumpling, Tan Zhenhua wiped his mouth with the napkin on the table and said: "Mr. Sheikh, your English is pretty good. If I heard it right, it should be a London accent, right?"

Sheikh smiled and replied: "Yes Eric, I have studied abroad in London for a few years, so my English naturally has the accent of that city."

"Oh? Which school?" Tan Zhenhua asked smoothly.

"I used to go to two schools", Sheikh replied seemingly casually: "Cambridge and the Royal Commanding College".

"Awesome, those two are famous among the famous schools!" Tan Zhenhua couldn't help but praise.

"In fact, it's nothing, because my dad is the current chief of Dubai, they have to give some face."

...

Xiao Tan Tan now wants to say: "The one who said "All men are created equal" stand up for me and see if I can beat you!"

"It turns out that it's your Royal Highness, Tan Zhenhua is disrespectful." Tan Zhenhua toasted to Sheikh.

"It's the son of the chief, not the prince, Eric, don't tell me you don't know the difference between "chief" and "king"... Forget it, it doesn't make much difference, it seems I have to introduce myself again: Sheikh · Mohamed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the third son of Sheikh Rashid bin Said Al Maktoum, the current chief of Dubai, graduated from Cambridge University, British Royal Commanding College At present, he is named as the Federal Minister of Defense of the Arab Emirates, but in fact he is mainly responsible for the administration, security, customs, and port affairs of Dubai."

Turned out to be a powerful prince. Tan Zhenhua thought to himself, and said: "It seems that I have to re-introduce myself: Tan Zhenhua, English name Eric Tan, from China, is currently studying at Stanford University in the United States."

Sheikh shook his head slightly after listening to Tan Zhenhua’s self-introduction: “Eric, you’re wrong, very wrong. In our Arab tradition, we must treat friends sincerely, and you have concealed too much. Something, Mr. Eric Tan, or your Excellency Chairman Eric?"

"...Okay, Sheikh, it seems that you know a lot about me. I didn't intend to conceal you, because I feel that in front of you, my little wealth and title are really insignificant. of."

Sheikh shook his head slightly and said: "No, those are very important things, at least they can explain your identity and status. I am just curious, why are you interested in coming to Dubai? Eric, I I have to confess to you frankly that from the moment you and your companions entered the country, I began to notice you. You are holding Huaxia passports, and our Alian and Huaxia have not established diplomatic relations. You are a big man, but I am responsible. Concerning security in Dubai, Eric, do you think I should pay attention to you?"

"Uh...When did I become a big shot?" Tan Zhenhua touched the back of his head a little awkwardly and said, "And I said that I am here this time, do you believe it is purely a tourist?"

Touching his conscience to speak, Xiao Tan Tan dared to swear that he never lied this time, although according to his special physique since his rebirth, he would have to mess up wherever he went.

Sheikh stared at him sternly for a long while, then suddenly smiled and said, "I believe it."

Tan Zhenhua just exhaled, but he heard him continue to say: "I don't believe it."

"Maybe you did come to travel," Sheikh said: "However, your identity is determined, and your trip will surely bring some unusual things, especially for China and our Alian Chiefs. This is especially true for countries that have not yet established diplomatic relations."

Sheikh said while looking at Tan Zhenhua’s eyes as if he could read something special from it, “Eric, you see, I’m not an ignorant person. The prophet once taught us, “Learning. Although it is far away in China, I must also ask for it." I have always respected and admired the wisdom of the East. I have heard of the famous "Ping Pong Diplomacy" that opened the door to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. I also admire those countries. The diplomatic wisdom of the leaders, in my opinion, it is a very pragmatic and effective way to establish a bridge between the two parties through unofficial communication methods. Although you did not use that relatively soft method, you just arrived in Dubai. On the first night, an auction was violently disrupted. You even called the police, Eric. If you were in my position, would you have a lot of associations?"

Tan Zhenhua: "..."

Hey, I said the third prince Sheikh, you have automatically made up some messy things!
