Chapter 261 Sand flushing

  With a population of less than 2 million in Qatar, the probability of producing excellent players who can play in the World Cup is not high, but they have money, so things like buying players and transferring their nationality came into being. At present, they have found a group of good players, who are still kept secret.

  Khalid is very confident: "As long as they are dealt with, I believe Qatar can advance to the quarterfinals."

  An Feng said: "Perhaps if you work harder, you may still be able to advance to the semi-finals."

  Khalid smiled: "Don't laugh, I am afraid that it will cost less than half of the cost of hosting the World Cup to realize this dream."

   "Who can tell for sure in the future?" An Feng gave him hope.

   "Thank you for saying that. When you talk about the Premier League team, according to my statistics and observations over the years, there are some good suggestions. Do you need it?"

   "Please tell me, I don't know much about the specific value." An Feng said.

"You need to promote your own brand. The team needs to be influential and have a huge fan base. Therefore, a wealthy team is an excellent choice. However, there are factors such as overvaluation and the owner's reluctance to sell. Finally, it is ruled out. Liverpool, who have not won the championship for many years, are the first choice."

  An Feng listened attentively: "Continue."

Khaled said: "Since John Henry bought Liverpool from Hicks and Gillette, the bright future that I thought was not realized, even the new stadium that I have been looking forward to for many years has not been found, coupled with the nature of the new owner I am more inclined to invest in sports ventures, because I don’t have enough money, and I can’t play with the money.”

Khaled said a lot, analyzing various reasons, including lack of money to buy players, lack of a strong stadium, lack of a strong enough lineup, the second in a millennium, doubts that the company's iron **** will not pluck hair... Anyway, in the past few years, Liverpool's performance There are good times and bad times, and the business is dismal.

"Someone else broke the news that Henry is dissatisfied with the team's sluggish performance, and his funds are also problematic. The company can't afford to run the team. It is very likely that Liverpool will be changed again." Khaled looked at An Feng, no doubt Yes, the super rich do have this ability, as long as he is willing to spend money to play.

  An Feng nodded: "It's worth considering."

Khaled reminded: "But I have to tell you one thing. When bidding for Liverpool, a Chinese buyer bid significantly higher, but the last three non-shareholder board members insisted on selling Liverpool to NESV. There's black-box manipulation or race issues in it."

  An Feng can also understand: "I didn't say that I must be the boss. My wife is completely competent in terms of background and status."

  Khalid said: "If it is a noble lady, I think the Red Army will be very popular."

   "Thank you for saying that." An Feng smiled, "It's uncertain what to say at the moment. If the owner doesn't want to sell, I can't help it."

   "That's the truth, but with discretionary money, I think there will always be suitable targets." Khaled said.

An Feng agrees, in fact, he has a wide range of choices, not necessarily a football team, the one billion yuan is enough to participate in many popular competitions, and even on a whim, it is not a problem to add a cruise ship to Ocean Shipping... The current focus is Let the money flow, beware of letting it depreciate.

  …

   Had dinner at Khaled’s home that night.

Arabs also use tableware such as knives, forks, spoons, etc., and are particularly fond of ceramic products. A row of people sit on each side of the square table and put the roast lamb on the table. The enthusiastic Khalid invited some friends. The guy in the incomparable white robe sits at the dining table and eats.

During the meeting, there were curiosity and questions about An Feng and his wife, but he would answer in detail everything he knew, and Khaled would translate it to promote the friendship between the two countries... After getting along, get rid of the mystery of the Arabs and the outside world. Not a bad impression, they are all very friendly.

The reason for the estrangement is nothing more than religious issues, as well as differences in cultural traditions. For example, the simple minds of Americans can never understand the long history of China and Europe. become a contradiction.

The dinner and conversation took a lot of time, which was very enjoyable and improved understanding. For example, An Feng finally figured out the meaning of their long names. For example, Khaled, his full name is very long, and the common ones are not short: Khalid bin Abdullah bin Faisal al-Thani.

Khaled explained to them: "In fact, in simple terms, it is my name, father's name, grandfather's name, and finally people from the (Al) Sani family. If it is longer, you can also add some meaningful characters or An area to remember."

The two opened their eyes, and An Feng asked: "Then, Ben.** is actually the Western media messing around. This is not the surname of that radical uncle, but it is very likely the name of one of his relatives? American How to call it, how to scold it, are you referring to a person who doesn't know what to say?"

  Khalid smiled: "Yes, in fact, the terrorist tycoon who was killed by the US military was called Osama, and '**' should be the name of his ancestors."

  An Feng couldn't help laughing: "It feels like Westerners think that Chinese people are always the same, and the pronunciation of the surname is repeated within a few words."

   "That's right, that's how it feels." Khaled nodded.

   "I've learned a lot." An Feng said.

  …

  Early the next morning, Khaled took them to play exciting games.

  When you come to Arab countries, one of the most indispensable experience items is: sand washing.

In the coastal area south of Doha, there is a large area that is very suitable for sand skiing. People can slide down on a skateboard at the peak. In addition, there are four-wheel all-terrain vehicles, four-wheel drive off-road vehicles, and even pick-up trucks if you have good skills. Let's face it, but it's a test of character.

Due to the outdoor activities and the strong sunshine, An Feng and Joanna are dressed in long-sleeved shirts, taking into account the local customs, Joanna gave up the skirt and changed into a pair of jeans that show her figure, with a breathable scarf around her neck and a braided headband hat and sunglasses on his nose.

  An Feng looked at her attire, helped her pull the scarf to her mouth, and joked, "This looks a bit like a black widow!"

   "Nonsense!" Joanna pushed him away and went to look in the mirror, enjoying herself.

  Khalid asked someone to send two cars, and when An Feng went out to take a look, they were indeed the high-end standard equipment of the rich and royal family: Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG.

  The chalk-white body and the square shape, the evaluation of its unchanged shape for decades can be divided into two types of people: ugly; or handsome and temperamental.

But no matter what, it can’t change the aura of its civilian off-road king, Mercedes-Benz G65-AMG, it just takes into account the comfort and off-road performance, no matter which brand it is compared with, it seems pale... An Feng took a few glances , The two-meter-high body is really domineering.

  Khalid said to him: "Let Laila drive the car to the destination first, and then you drive one of them."

An Feng said no problem, and got into the car with Joanna, Khalid drove the front car and set off, Laila started the car behind him, and slowly left the city, the landscape of tall buildings disappeared, replaced by endless desert and barrenness, a highway Lonely stretches into the distance.

   About forty kilometers away, they arrived at the sand-flushing resort by the sea.

Khaled came down and explained to them: "Deflate the tires before sanding, lowering the tire pressure. It increases the tire footprint to provide better anti-sag, which improves traction and reduces vehicle tension. force and minimize wear and tear during travel.”

An Feng also took the tool to deflate the four tires, then sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and watched Khalid show off the skills of rushing from the **** to the top of the slope. The sets of differential locks work at the same time to ensure the working efficiency of the tires.

   There were also people washing sand around, but it was obvious that there were mostly Japanese cars, and it was not the scene of large-displacement off-road vehicles everywhere, either Mercedes-Benz or Land Rover, as An Feng had imagined. After turning around in situ, after getting familiar with the operation, I refueled and rushed towards the sand pile, loosened the accelerator appropriately, and let the car move forward slowly.

  When rushing up the sand slope, the inclination angle felt in the car is very large, and there is the thrill of riding a roller coaster. The sand **** is very long. From the window, you can see the surrounding cars driving sideways or backwards. The world has been turned upside down, and it feels amazing. After rushing to the top, there was a vast ocean in front of him. Khalid, who was next to him, honked his horn and pointed down.

Naturally, if you rush up, you have to drive down, let the car drive down the sandy slope, a little slippery, but only for a short moment, the differential lock is adjusted, and continue to go down steadily, paddling on the wet beach Do a few laps, and then follow it back and forth again, to have a good time.

   Later, An Feng also recommended Joanna to try it.

  She was also interested, so she switched places with An Feng, and it was her turn to sit in the driver's seat and control this nearly 3-ton beast. Sitting on it, the field of view is very spacious, which is not at the same level as a low-slung sports car, but the steering wheel is heavy, and it takes a little effort for ladies.

  Joanna stepped on the accelerator with confidence and began to accept the challenge. Feeling her driving style, An Feng reminded: "Follow the tire marks left by the vehicle in front of you, because the sand under these marks has been compacted, which is much harder than the untraveled sand. "

"What?" Joanna felt that the tire on the right side of the car was slipping, so she continued to pump oil, causing the four tires to spin at high speed, digging out four large holes in a few moments, the suspension stroke had been stretched to the limit, and the tires were still suspended. The result is that the sand and soil stand against the site.

"That's not how you drive on sand, girl! You made a big mistake!" An Feng poked his head out to look, "It's different on flat land, where you can climb out with your foot on the accelerator, but on sandy land, the speed is too high, and the tires are easy to get out." Dig the hole, the car is so heavy, it is very difficult to get out."

   "So what?" she asked.

An Feng taught her: "Reverse if you can't move forward, so put the reverse gear first, and gently try to retreat along your rut, and you will retreat along a road that has been compacted. When you reach a sufficient distance, grab the When the ground is strong, try to move forward and be careful not to get trapped again."

   "Okay." Joanna was ready to try.

   Khaled stopped next to them, walked to them, bent down and looked at the four suspended wheels, and said, "It's not easy to get out."

   "Don't listen to him, you can do it." An Feng encouraged.

Joanna shifted to reverse gear, stepped on the gas pedal, and felt that she was going backward for a while. After climbing onto the sandy soil, she carefully controlled it to move forward. At first, it was a little slippery, but after refueling in the direction felt in her heart, the car started to move. An Feng hurriedly said: "The opportunity is here, move forward slowly!"

Joanna held her breath. She felt that the left front wheel had compacted the sand. She could use this opportunity to drag the car up, so she added some fuel. The heavy body was dragged out of the bunker.

  An Feng said: "Congratulations, you succeeded!"

   "Yeah!" Joanna looked at the situation outside, and she did get out of the bunker.

  She looked at Khaled triumphantly again: "Did you see it?"

  Khalid smiled outside and said: "Very good! Not bad!"

  =======

  PS: Going around and finally mentioned that the team has decided on Liverpool, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, you can talk about it.
