v2 Chapter 1112： The helplessness of the prince

The latest website: Since it is an opportunity, it cannot be missed. The Saudi royal family can't just be a state parasite, at least not his son. Prince Sultan seems to have made up his mind, what does it matter to his son to take risks.

At present, the Saudi royal family is not as exaggerated as later generations, with 5,000 princes. But there are definitely more than a thousand children, so many people must find one to inherit the throne; but at present, no prince is particularly prominent. Fortunately, Saudi Arabia adopts the method of succession as brothers and sisters. The older generation of them are still there, and the next generation has no chance at all. However, there is always a day when people get old. Although members of the royal family have good medical conditions, their life expectancy is limited.

Bao Zixuan proposed that Saudi Arabia send a prince to China to negotiate, and it must not be their generation. In any case, this kid is still very insightful. Success is gratifying, but failure not only ruins your own future; it may even affect your family. In order to appease Americans, it is impossible to have rights, and if it is serious, go to jail.

At this time, it is not appropriate to let anyone's child pass. You must know that he is in charge of many things. His eldest son Bandar is a very suitable candidate, as if this matter is tailor-made for him.

Now that he has made up his mind, Prince Sultan did not hesitate at all. Just picked up the phone and made a phone call home. The meaning is obvious, let Bandar come over immediately. And keep a low profile, at least pay attention to secrecy.

The Saudi royal family certainly knows how many spies the CIA has in Riyadh. But at present there is no capital to turn against the Americans, and some things can only be endured. As long as you are strong, then everything will be easy, otherwise you will only be slaughtered by others.

Prince Bandar bin Sultan is the eldest son of Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz, First Deputy Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, born in Taif. His mother was not the head of the family, but according to Sharia law, all sons of parents should be treated the same, so Bandar received a good modern education. Under his father's arrangement, he married his cousin, Haifa Bint Faisal.

Bandar bin Sultan attended the Royal Air Force Academy Cranwell, UK, and served 17 years as a lieutenant in the Royal Saudi Air Force. In the Air Force he was a fighter pilot who flew a variety of aircraft types. Bandar later received flight training at Maxwell Air Force Base in the United States. In addition to military courses, he has a degree in International Public Policy from the Paul H. Nietzsche School of Johns Hopkins University.

Prince Bandar's diplomatic career began in 1978, when he successfully persuaded the US Congress to sell F-15 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia. In 1983, he was appointed Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States; among the second generation of Saudi princes, he is definitely a very capable and active figure.

Otherwise, the previous king would not have married his daughter to him. In the Saudi royal family, it is normal for close relatives to marry. It doesn’t matter if outsiders don’t understand this, but this is their tradition.

It turned out that Prince Bandar should be in the United States, after all, his current position is the Saudi ambassador to the United States. At present, it is just in time to return to China to report on work.

When it was so late when my father called me over, of course I understood what it meant. He definitely wanted to introduce Bao Zixuan to him, indicating that in his father's eyes, his position was becoming more and more important.

There are so many Saudi princes, although most of them are ignorant. But there are still some people who want to do something, and Bandar is one of them. You can't do it on your own, without the support of your parents, it's hard to get things done. After all, there are not many people in this world who have the ability to be the richest man in Hong Kong. Bandar has lived and worked in the United States for many years, and he admires Bao Zixuan.

It's just that there has been no opportunity to meet and cooperate before. When he served as Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, Bao Zixuan had completed his studies and returned to Hong Kong to take charge of the company. The last time Bao Zixuan came to Saudi Arabia, he was in the United States again, so the two never met.

This time back to Saudi Arabia, Prince Bandar felt incredible. There are a lot of foreign workers here. On the one hand, it is more important that the country knows how to develop industry and agriculture, which is a remarkable achievement.

Saudi Arabia's previous impression, in addition to selling oil and natural gas, was how the princes and princesses showed off their wealth and how they competed. Not to mention that there is no vitality in the country, at least it makes Bandar, who often lives in the United States, feel ashamed, and even more uncomfortable. Now that there is oil, it can still be like this. If the oil is fully exploited, what will Saudi Arabia do?

There are so many members of the royal family, which is a serious drain on the country's financial resources. But other people's words are light, and the weight is not enough. And he wouldn't do this kind of work that offends people. That would not only cause trouble for himself, but also make his father hate him.

The eldest son was not born to his wife, which has made his identity very embarrassing; therefore, it is the best choice to work conscientiously, but I don't dare to make any fools.

Now that the whole country has changed because of one person's investment, Bandar is more and more curious about Bao Zixuan. What kind of magic does this man who is 9 years younger than him have? It is incredible that the king, crown prince, and father can trust him so much. But thinking about the other party's achievements, Bandar really couldn't find anything wrong.

Even the first-generation founders of the Rockefellers and Morgans may not have achieved this at the age of 26.

Soon, Prince Bandar came to the suburban villa in a suit. Seeing this dress, Prince Sultan was a little angry at first, but immediately showed his happiness.

I was angry because I went back to Saudi Arabia and dared to dress like I did in the United States. Happy because it is not easy to be found, in the eyes of Americans, how crazy the Saudi princes are outside. But back home is very low-key, and attaches great importance to clothing.

They all want to leave a good impression on their parents, after all, this is about personal interests. Without the support of my parents, it is almost impossible to maintain a luxurious life. At present, there is really no member of the royal family who dares to dress like this in China. It seems that Bandar is still well prepared and knows how to judge the situation.

After Prince Sultan introduced them to the two, Bandar said with a smile: "I have heard about Mr. Bao's name for a long time, but I have never been able to meet him. When I went to the United States as an ambassador, you had already returned to Hong Kong. The last time you came to Saudi Arabia , just in time for me to be in America."

"In the past two years in the United States, I often heard stories about Heiyun Group and Xiangjiang Bao. Although I am a few years older, there is still much to learn from you."

His father asked him to come over, so he must make connections. Although the words are very low-key, no one will think that this is deliberately belittling themselves. It's okay to show humility in the face of someone stronger than you. It is difficult to be recognized and entrusted with important responsibilities for people who are not very talented and have a good temper.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Prince Bandar is too polite, and I have heard of your glorious deeds. I heard that you are not only an excellent fighter pilot, but also a top student at Johns Hopkins University. And being able to persuade the U.S. government to sell F-15 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia is an extraordinary achievement in the diplomatic field. It’s just that the identity of the prince wipes out these halos.”

"The world is like this, a person is from a good background; then his achievements are dazzling, and it feels like a matter of course, unlike me, who grew up in a single-parent family in Xiangjiang; if you achieve a little bit, you will be praised by the world. In fact, everyone I don’t even think about it, sometimes one’s background and connections are another manifestation of strength.”

"The starting point is high, and the requirements for your grades are high, that's right. But you can't ask too much; don't all members of the royal family have to compare with the first generation of founding monarchs; they may do better The world is still I feel like you're a long way off."

Bao Zixuan's words made Prince Bandar feel the same way, and even felt like he had found a bosom friend.

In fact, not only Prince Bandar, but also his father, Prince Sultan. The old man thinks that he is not weak, otherwise he would not be able to become the direct head of the Saudi army. But even though they are working hard, the Chinese still feel that they are much worse than their father. This kid sees things more thoroughly than he does at some point.

Prince Sultan said with a smile: "Mr. Bao really sees things clearly, so it makes us very happy."

"However, Bandar can't feel great just because people say hello and say you can do it. You have to do things down-to-earth and take one step at a time. Although you have achieved some achievements, it is not enough. You have lived in Europe and America for many years, you should I know the gap between Saudi Arabia and foreign countries. We must face things bravely, adhere to principles, and safeguard national interests.”

Bao Zixuan felt that something was wrong, how could he seem to be educating his son. At this time, there were only four people in the study, Prince Sultan, Prince Bandar, Princess Aisha; and of course him. The other two are the sons and daughters of the old man, and it is normal to hear the admonition, so what kind of person is he.
