Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Chapter 599: The Middle East Forces the King

Although Zhou Rui is now a very famous person around the world, the perception is different in different regions.

For example, in Europe and the United States, young people admire him because he is rich and has personality.

For example, in Japan and South Korea, it is a bit more sour, because Zhou Rui is Asian and dares to go against their father.

In the Middle East, it's more complicated.

Theoretically, the old Afghans and the tycoons of the Middle East are not in the same circle, and they are not even geographically close to each other. However, after all, they have the same origin and the same belief. Watching the old tyrants of Afghanistan being held down and bullied for ten years, the tycoons of the Middle East When people say "no feelings", they are definitely deceiving themselves.

(Lazi had Saudi nationality before that)

In fact, the United States has been rubbing against Afghanistan for ten years, with the intention of killing the chicken to scare others. For a hundred years, the Arab world has not escaped the pressure and calculations of the West.

Zhou Rui, in the midst of a series of turmoils, chose a solution that no one dared to think of: "sanctioning the US military."

What does this look like in the eyes of veterans in the Middle East?

This is a "hero"!

Tiger or you tiger!

Awesome or Chinese are awesome!

So when the nephew came over and said that he saw the enlightened and wise leader Zhou, this Khalid directly organized a group to come.

Like many Middle Eastern tycoons, Khalid's business power is very mixed. He has a bit of everything and invests everywhere.

They did have cooperation with "Enlightened Intelligence", but in fact the amount was not large. It was just an excuse to say that they were familiar with "Zhang Yao". At most, it was through a phone call, not even Khalid himself.

So he was a drone without opening his mouth, and he also seemed very businesslike and unfriendly.

It happened that he had actually read Zhou Rui's article in "Science", so he chose to use it as the starting point for chatting.

Zhou Rui was quite surprised that this wealthy man actually watched "Science"!

"I didn't expect that you would also be interested in new energy."

Khalid said sincerely: "No one cares more about the energy field than us, whether it is new energy or chemical energy. Of course, oil is not just energy, but the blood of industry around the world."

"Mr. Zhou, I would like to invite you to have dinner with me again. I would be happy to exchange knowledge and insights with you and enhance our friendship."

Zhou Rui thought it was quite interesting. He looked back at Luo Hua and the others, but did not make it difficult for them. He took the initiative and said: "These are my employees, take them with you."

Luo Hua thought to himself that Mr. Zhou was really reasonable, and those with cloths on their heads were considered friendly foreigners, so what's the problem?

But it's one thing to sit by the pool and chat, and it's another thing to go to the other party's room to eat. Naturally, it's more secure to have someone with you.

"Don't worry, your friends are my friends."

The two nephews trotted back to make arrangements, while Zhou Rui and Khalid walked and chatted, only to learn that he was a crown prince of Abu Dhabi.

Of course, religions and systems are different. To be precise, they are "people qualified to succeed the chief", so the number of people who can be called "Crown Prince" is particularly large.

The gap between "Crown Prince" and "Crown Prince" may be wider than the gap between "ordinary people" and "Crown Prince".

However, he can lead a team to the Zhuhai Air Show, and he is already 50 years old. With his accumulation in his hometown, he should be considered a quite capable person.

"Is there a solar energy industry in the Middle East?"

"We are vigorously developing the solar field and have spent billions of dollars on this, but due to technical limitations, it is still in the preparation stage."

When he talks about us, he should be referring to the United Arab Emirates or Abu Dhabi.

Translated into human language, it is, it is being done, it costs a lot of money, but there is currently no output.

Zhou Rui smiled: "Is it the JingSi route?"

When it came to specific details, Khalid was able to answer questions fluently: "Yes, we have investments in several cutting-edge solar energy research institutes around the world, mainly in the crystalline silicon route."

In this case, Zhou Rui's "perovskite" route may actually kill all their previous investments.

In terms of cost and energy efficiency, perovskites instantly beat the current crystalline silicon route, which means that those billions have been wasted.

But Khalid didn't have any dissatisfaction, they were used to it

In the past hundred years, oil has made them like other rich countries in the Middle East, but they are still clean in their hearts.

All they have is money.

In addition, the first is the lack of industrial foundation, the second is the lack of talent foundation, the third is the lack of technological accumulation, and the fourth is the lack of say in the post-war pattern.

There are also four, five, six, seven and eight, such as poor land, sparse population, and reliance on imports for everything.

Therefore, over the past few decades, investments in technology, talent, and education can be described as huge sums of money.

However, due to its own weak foundation, most of the investment is like sand in the palm of your hand, leaving little results.

They have the best universities in the world, but they still cannot produce top scientists. Even in the global science and technology field, it is difficult to see Arab faces.

They want to participate in every era of change, including nuclear energy, semiconductors, and the Internet. But in the end they are still highly dependent on the oil industry, and nothing else makes a splash.

They are keen on organizing international competitions, international expos, and international activities to increase their influence. However, after so many years, the impact they have gained is not as much as that of "Lazi" alone.

In short, they are used to spending money without producing results.

Of course, they also have their own way of doing things

Money is important but money is just a tool

The two of them walked in front, chatting casually, followed by seven or eight people in white robes, following suit, and Gan Yuan could not find her place.

Together with the four of them, Luo Hua, this large group of people, from a distance, looked like some international political figures.

Some ordinary travelers were stunned.

Luo Hua reacted immediately and communicated with the white robe next to him. They immediately changed into a "U-shaped formation" to wrap the two of them to prevent them from being photographed.

Khalid lived on the top floor of the hotel, and Zhou Rui was confused as soon as the door opened.

The inside was completely different from his room. It was completely decorated in Arabic style. The carpets, paintings, lamps, and even a pillow were all in Arabic style.

But he is in Zhushi!

Zhou Rui raised his eyebrows, recalling some exaggerated rumors about the wealthy people in the Middle East, and asked doubtfully: "You didn't decorate it specially to stay in the hotel, did you?"

Khalid immediately explained: "That won't happen. I will not do such a stupid thing and squander wealth endlessly. I will only be punished by my Lord. This house has always been like this."

Zhou Rui nodded, thinking that the hotel must have specially prepared it for wealthy customers?

Then I heard Khalid say: "I come here every year, so I invested in a hotel. This is my home in China."

Zhou Rui:

Silently giving a thumbs up, brother has been fooled!

Zhou Rui was very interested in the decoration style here. Khalid guided him like a tour guide, explaining everything along the way.

In front of a tapestry, Khalid said: "This is purely handmade, using the finest long wool. It has a history of more than 80 years, but it is still as shiny as new."

There is a brown horse pattern on it. Of course, this is not the main point. I was just a little surprised to hear that the tapestry was from the 1980s.

This is a carpet that has been passed down for three generations. People still walk on the carpet. In their culture, it is equivalent to the concept of famous paintings.

So I watched it for a while unconsciously.

Seeing Zhou Rui stop, Khalid immediately said: "This embroidery is a pure-blood Arabian horse, which is also our unique species. If you like it, I will give it to you!"

Zhou Rui waved his hand: "That's not necessary, it doesn't match my family's style very well."

My house is full of plaques, what’s the deal with tapestries?

Unexpectedly, Khalid said: "No, no, no, although this tapestry is beautiful, it is not precious. I will give you a purebred Arabian horse. Do you live in Shanghai?"

Zhou Rui looked at the old handsome guy stiffly

Are you still good at pretending to be cool? Even if the male protagonist comes, you can't.

But my family lives in a building! !

"No need, I have no place to raise you"

Khalid turned to his nephew behind him and said: "Contact the best equestrian club in Shanghai immediately and buy a stable for Mr. Zhou permanently."

Zhou Rui:
