v2 Chapter 1098： richest in the middle east

The State of Kuwait, commonly known as Kuwait, is a constitutional monarchy located in the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula and the northwest of the Persian Gulf in the West Asian region. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia in the south and Iraq in the north. Across the sea from Iran, the country's capital, Kuwait City, has the same name as the country.

Kuwait is rich in oil and natural gas resources, with proven oil reserves of 14 billion tons, ranking seventh in the world. Natural gas reserves are 1.78 trillion cubic meters, ranking 18th in the world.

The climate in Kuwait is not conducive to agriculture, and almost all agricultural products need to be imported. The country began to develop a diverse economy, reducing its dependence on oil. And to promote the development of Kuwait in the fields of energy, railway, power grid consolidation, infrastructure construction, communications and new urban construction, and is committed to building Kuwait into a financial and trade center in the Gulf region.

After negotiating with three important figures in Israel, Bao Zixuan brought his team to the richest country per capita in the Middle East.

For a country with a population of only 3 million, but with so much energy, it is hard not to be rich. But Kuwait paid enough attention to the arrival of Bao Zixuan. Even if they are rich, they cannot be too arrogant in front of the richest man in the world.

The Emir of Kuwait, Jaber-Ahmed-Jaber-Sabah, personally greeted him at the airport. The employees from the Black Cloud Group are used to this. They are now visiting with the boss, and they feel like they are accompanying the head of state on a visit. No matter where they go, they are greeted by major dignitaries and even heads of state.

At the last press conference, a reporter asked Bao Zixuan if he would inspect Kuwait. Got an affirmative answer, just saying no one invited. Of course, the Kuwaiti foreign affairs department could not miss this opportunity, so it sent an invitation to the Black Cloud Group on the same day.

Bao Zixuan also replied as soon as possible, and will go to Kuwait when he inspects the Middle East in the near future, and it will still be the main country for inspection. Because of the war in Iraq, the national funds are not very abundant; Saudi Arabia is now engaged in construction, and the funds are also very tight. As another major oil-producing country in the Middle East, Kuwait is definitely the most cash-rich country, and there is no one.

Seeing that the Kuwaiti Emir greeted him personally, Bao Zixuan didn't dare to care for him. After all, respect is mutual, so that everyone can work together for a longer time.

And we know that this Emil is a long-lived person who has been in power for nearly 30 years. Moreover, later generations have experienced overseas wars. After leaving the country for a period of time, they can continue to serve as kings when they come back. It can be seen that in the hearts of the Kuwaiti people, it is absolutely loved.

Jaber Ahmed Jaber Al-Sabah said with a smile: "Welcome friends from afar, I have long expected Mr. Bao's arrival, but there has been no suitable opportunity. But it is not too late; Kuwait is a A very hospitable country, sure to impress Mr. Bao and the Heiyun team."

Seeing the king, or the emir, Bao Zixuan finally understood why Iraq wanted them to do it.

The historical reason is one of them, and more importantly, the old man is still very talkative when looking at his face, and he does not have the domineering domineering that dominates the world.

In history, the word "emirate" was used as "the country of the emirs", but the "emirates" in that period often had to submit to the caliphate or the sultanate, which belonged to a subordinate status and their rights were restricted. In contemporary times, each "Emir State" is a sovereign state that exercises sovereignty independently, so they no longer use "Emirate" to refer to their own regime.

Historically, Kuwait has indeed been a vassal to Iraq, and the Kuwaiti royal family is not tough enough, so of course they will be bullied. It is not difficult to understand why a loser with red eyes would attack them.

However, none of the seven countries in the United Arab Emirates have independent sovereignty and are all members of the federation, so the use of the word "emirate" is still retained. The UAE's strict literal meaning is "the union of some small Arab regimes". Therefore, to this day, the heads of state of the seven emirates are still called "chiefs", not "emirs". Of course, it is still difficult for Bao Zixuan to add the word "female" in front of the chief.

Recently, when I returned to the hotel in the evening, I would study the history of the Middle East. Before thinking things were too simple, the solution was too crude. It's okay to think about dealing with other Arab countries now, but when it comes to the other six emirates, it's not that difficult. If they can live in peace, no one is willing to use force. Not only is the cost issue, but also needs a justifiable, which can be held in the international arena.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "His Majesty the King is really too polite. In fact, the Black Cloud Group has long wanted to come to Kuwait for inspection, but there has been no suitable opportunity before. But as you said, it is not too late; Products that are especially suitable for Kuwait.”

"I am worried that your country will not like it. Now Heiyun Group has developed a lot of high-quality products, and I believe it will definitely meet the needs of the Kuwaiti people."

Kuwait is about the same size as Huaxia Mountain, and the overall environment is similar. There is no detailed investigation. Where there are resources, people have already completed the survey, and the oil extraction equipment is definitely the latest in the world.

Of course, in the past life, Iraq was very unhappy because Kuwait's oil extraction equipment was too advanced. Oil is a liquid resource and flows underground, although not as obvious as water, but it can still walk. Kuwait has advanced oil production equipment and faster oil production. Most of the funds on the Iraqi side are used to buy weapons, resulting in a serious shortage of funds for the maintenance and renewal of oil production equipment.

After the oil extraction in Kuwait is completed, the oil in Iraq will definitely flow to places where there is space; a lot of it will flow into Kuwait. You can't say that Kuwait is secretly exploiting Iraqi oil resources, after all, they are exploiting oil locally. As for the flow of underground oil, no one can control it.

Therefore, in Kuwait, it is impossible to invest in energy. They are not short of your money, so they can only sell their products to Kuwait. At present, the most suitable ones are metal sodium solar power generation equipment. The entire Middle East is without electricity, and Kuwait is certainly no exception. Moreover, the pollution of domestic oil exploitation has been very serious. If all the electricity shortages are powered by thermal power, then Kuwait's sky will not be blue from now on.

I saw a row of black cloud cars appear in front of me, and there was a custom Bentley in the middle. Bao Zixuan knew that it was specially arranged, but it was not necessary at all. But people don't have much to say about this arrangement.

The Kuwaiti royal family has a general presence in the Middle East; although there is a lot of money, the country's economic strength and oil reserves are not comparable to Saudi Arabia. In terms of bloodline, it is still worse than Jordan. And because of historical reasons, the whole country is not so publicized.

Although the airport is not very far from the palace, it is still a long way away. In fact, it is also for security reasons. If the distance is too close, if a country invades Kuwait and directly occupies the airport, the royal family will not even have a chance to react.

Sitting in the car, I saw that most of the people working on both sides of the street were outsiders. But at the same time, Bao Zixuan also knows that this country is very xenophobic, and it is possible to make money; but it is almost impossible to become a Kuwaiti nationality.

So far, none of the immigrants has been able to obtain Kuwaiti nationality and the treatment that Kuwaiti citizens can enjoy. According to the 1962 Kuwaiti Constitution, only those whose ancestors have settled in Kuwait since 1920 are eligible to become Kuwaiti citizens with full rights Once a Kuwaiti citizen becomes a Kuwaiti citizen, it means that they will have countless privileges and benefits. But the Kuwaiti government does not intend to expand the circle of obtaining the country's nationality and benefits.

But no oil was discovered before 1920, and it was still under colonial rule. If not crazy, who would relocate their home to a Middle Eastern country with a maximum temperature of over 50 degrees and a severe lack of water.

The King of Kuwait is also a good talker, in fact, it depends on the communication. If it is ordinary people, he does not have so much spare time.

King Jaber said with a smile, "What impression does Mr. Bao have on Kuwait?"

This is obviously a small talk, but it is normal; the two parties are not very familiar with it, and it is too abrupt to go directly to the topic.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "I have never been to Kuwait before. This is my first time here. But the enthusiasm of His Majesty the King and the Kuwaiti people has been felt."

"I heard before that the Kuwaiti people are hospitable and love peace. Although the Black Cloud Group can produce the most advanced weapons and equipment, I myself hate war. There are many ways to make money, and I will still be rich without producing weapons and equipment. It's just that sometimes there is no way to protect yourself."

"I believe Kuwait is the same. After all, wealth has reached the point where people are jealous; the ability and strength to protect wealth becomes particularly important."

Bao Zixuan's words made King Jaber ponder; what can be understood by outsiders, why can't the members of the royal family understand!
