Saudi Arabia, like New Tuvalu, is a monarchy, but unlike New Tuvalu, Saudi Arabia has no constitution and does not allow the existence of political parties. The king exercises the highest executive and judicial power, has the right to appoint, dismiss or reorganize the cabinet, has the right to establish or abolish the crown prince, dissolves the consultative conference, and has the right to approve and veto cabinet meeting resolutions and treaties and agreements signed with foreign countries.
In New Tuvalu, although the main power is concentrated on the king, Li Daniu, in order to attract foreign immigrants, apparently included himself, the king, in the relevant constitutional management. Simply put, it is a pseudo-constitutional monarchy.
In this case, as the second crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Muhammad bin Saiman considers himself to be on an equal footing with the king of New Tuvalu. Even counting the national strength of Saudi Arabia, Saiman believes that his status in the international community is higher than that of the king of New Tuvalu.
In addition, this time it is not Saiman who is visiting alone, but also representatives of several major member states of the Arab Petroleum Exporting Organization, such as the representative of the United Arab Emirates, the deputy chief of the Emirate of Dubai, and the Minister of Finance and Industry of the United Arab Emirates and the chairman of the Dubai Municipal Council. — Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Khaldan!
For such a large visiting team, New Tuvalu actually only sent a nominal prime minister to meet him. If it wasn't for the important matters involved in this trip, Saiman would definitely turn around and leave.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, after chatting with Burns, the Prime Minister of New Tuvalu, the private planes of other members of the visiting team also landed.
When it was discovered that only Burns was welcoming them, the other representatives were also somewhat dissatisfied.
Oil can be said to be one of the most important resources in the current society. They basically represent 30% of the world's annual crude oil production, and the reserves are a figure that makes other countries jealous. It can be said that they No matter which country the group of people go to for a joint visit, they can enjoy the highest standard of treatment.
But now, a small new Tuvalu, which was the fourth smallest country in the world in terms of land area a few months ago, was rated as a least developed country by the United Nations, and now it is so arrogant in front of them, which makes They feel unacceptable.
Like Saiman, everyone else showed superficial etiquette, but in their hearts, they were already wondering whether they should teach New Tuvalu a lesson.
After the pick-up was completed, Burns arranged for a vehicle, sent them to the villa area to rest, and informed that tonight, His Majesty the King of New Tuvalu will prepare a game for them in the palace of New Tuvalu. Reception banquet.
After Saiman and the others arrived at the villa area, they did not rest, but immediately held a meeting.
After the accompanying security personnel inspected the villa where they lived, Saiman said: "This is really an unexpected way of receiving them."
Khaledan is a little older. He is the eldest brother of the current Sheikh of the Emirate of Dubai and the most promising person to take over the position of the Sheikh of the Emirate of Dubai.
"Our negotiations this time are related to the lifeblood of the country we represent, so don't show your emotions."
Saiman walked to the window, watched the UN peacekeepers doing security work outside, stopped foreign tourists who wanted to see the local tyrants, and said: "Look at this country, look at these women, what a degenerate country."
In Saudi Arabia, or these Arab countries, the "Quran" and Muhammad's hadith are the main basis for their behavior, and Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that does not allow women to drive.
Despite the development of the times and frequent cultural exchanges between countries, Saiman still cannot accept that these female tourists in New Tuvalu are dressed so coolly on the street because of the weather and celebrations.
Although Harldan also rejected this very much, but it is not uncommon in Dubai today, so he could barely ignore it and said: "Except for negotiating the acquisition of battery technology, I will do everything else. I suggest everyone ignore it."
Algeria's Minister of Energy and Mines Youssef, is different from hereditary national politicians such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Their countries have constitutions and elections.
"Judging from the reception of New Tuvalu today, it seems that the acquisition of battery technology this time is not very optimistic. I think that the king of New Tuvalu should have guessed our purpose. He did this There are no more than two reasons, either you don’t want to sell it to us, or you want to raise the price in the subsequent negotiation process.”
"Price is not an issue." Saiman said with great confidence: "Because as long as we master this battery technology, we can avoid losses of hundreds of billions of dollars a year. But what worries me most is that he is not willing to sell !"
These people rushed to New Tuvalu in a hurry, just to solve this matter before Li Daniu signed a supply contract with the car manufacturer. If the relevant contract is really signed, it will not be so easy for them to buy this technology or control the flow of products of this technology.
Halledan said: "I think he will sell it. According to previous data, the total global lithium battery market last year was only 14.2 billion US dollars. How much profit can there be? Even if he can rely on new Battery technology has completely occupied the global market, and even expanded the electric vehicle market, so how much can the global battery market share be expanded?"
Saiman said: "Moreover, the battery market has always been protected by various countries for local companies. He wants to promote his batteries to the world, which is not just something that can be solved by advanced technology."
…
When the visiting group held a meeting because of Li Daniu's negligence, Li Daniu was smiling in his palace, listening to the meeting screen monitored by Ao Chuang.
If other people know what Li Daniu is doing now, they will definitely spit at him and call him shameless.
How can there be a team of foreign dignitaries who come to visit their own country?
"Who told you not to find out my monitoring equipment?" After listening to this meeting, Li Daniu already had an idea in his mind, as long as the other party didn't play any terrorist...attack! Then, you can negotiate with the other party without any scruples.
At night, New Tuvalu is full of tourists who are going to have a final carnival all night long. A convoy, escorted by the UN peacekeeping force, goes from the villa area to the royal palace of New Tuvalu.
After arriving at the royal palace in New Tuvalu, Saiman said contemptuously in the car: "The development of this country is really nondescript. And this royal palace also looks very stingy."
New Tuvalu currently has more than 200 projects under construction If you only look at the present, there are projects under construction everywhere, which is naturally a bit nondescript. The royal palace in New Tuvalu uses European-style architecture, which is somewhat similar to the White House in the United States. Compared with the seven-star Burj Al Arab hotels in Saudi Arabia and Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, it is naturally much more stingy.
For these local tyrants, domestic police cars are all supercars. Which country is not stingy in front of them?
Of course, not everyone in the delegation thinks that New Tuvalu is stingy. Except for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which are real wealthy countries, other countries in the delegation are better than New Tuva whether they look at the present or the future. Lu is much worse.
After entering the palace, Li Daniu warmly received these local tyrants who came from afar, and when he was in their position, he naturally performed very well on the surface. Including Li Daniu, when there are outsiders around, they can now show their emotions and anger.
After a very pleasant dinner for both parties, Li Daniu took Burns and others, entered the laboratory in the palace with the group of local tyrants, and started a meeting that the whole world was looking forward to, but no one else could participate in. .
Many people couldn't help but think: "A person who likes live broadcasting for everything, why doesn't he want to live broadcast today?" (To be continued.)
