v2 Chapter 1470： court drama maker

It didn't take long for the team to arrive in Doha, the capital of Qatar. It is not difficult to see from here that the country of Qatar is really not very big.

Doha is the capital and largest city of Qatar, a West Asian country. It is also a famous port along the Persian Gulf. It is an international metropolis; the largest city in Qatar, the political, economic, cultural and transportation center.

Known for its rich oil and natural gas production, it has become the economic lifeline of Qatar. Many oil and gas companies are headquartered in Doha. Since the lifeline of Qatar's economy is based on oil and gas, the Qatari People's Government hopes to diversify their economy.

In fact, Doha was originally a fishing port and a concentration port for pearl ships. After World War II, it prospered with the development of the country's oil industry. Has built a deep-water port, desalination plants, plastic products plants, steel plants, power plants and international airports. Many of the residents are oilfield workers.

At this stage, it is estimated that Doha is okay to invest in Qatar; as for other places, forget it! Half of the country's people live here, which also reflects Doha's important position in the entire country.

The convoy went directly to the palace, because the Qatari Emir Khalifa was already waiting for him there.

Seeing this Emil, Bao's richest man was still very curious in his heart. After all, this may be the Hollywood director's favorite king. Although it is not very legendary, what happened to him is absolutely bloody. Adding a lot of creative elements to the drama of the palace coup.

In 1971, Qatar gained independence from British jurisdiction; a year later, Khalifa, then the deputy emir, staged a palace coup, transforming from a tribal chief to an emir.

During his reign, it was Western countries that developed large-scale industries; at the initial stage of high dependence on oil, Qatar became a rich country by relying on rich oil and natural gas resources.

In order to enjoy the extravagant life, Khalifa announced that all oil and natural gas should be nationalized. This aroused dissatisfaction from other tribes, and since then there have been continuous protests in the country, but they have been suppressed by force.

After living a wealthy life, Khalifa contracted the common problem of feudal yongwang—comfort with the status quo and greed for pleasure.

He began to frequently go to Europe for vacation, living a lavish life; a happy life with a lot of money and money, and the daily government affairs were handed over to Crown Prince Hamad.

Khalifa, who himself relied on a coup to take the throne, never imagined that after more than 20 years, history would repeat itself. But this time he was a loser, and his son succeeded in taking his place.

In June 1995, as in previous years, the old king called his son Hamad to his side and entrusted him with military affairs, and was ready to fly to Geneva for summer vacation.

The son stood beside his father and respectfully recorded the matters that needed to be dealt with, seemingly calm. But he was restless in his heart, because he was brewing a big event - taking advantage of his father's vacation abroad and replacing him.

After the luggage was ready, the old king arrived at the airport under the **** of everyone. When Khalifa boarded the plane, his son and his subordinates stood under the plane and waved goodbye. They watched the back of the old king and said goodbye silently in their hearts: "Goodbye, Emir Khalifa".

The door closed, and the rumbling sound of the aircraft engine sounded the death knell of the Khalifa dynasty.

Before the official launch, the crown prince had made all preparations. First, he used his military power to control the main departments of the country, and then he won over a large number of tribal members who were dissatisfied with the autocratic monarchy, and won the support of most important government officials. In order to avoid a long night of dreams, Hamad summoned military and political leaders on the day his father left, announcing that he would immediately replace his father as the emir.

When the coup d'état was announced, the few who objected; either were dismissed from office, or saw that Pi Jian's hard-hitting army had fully surrendered to the crown prince. It can only be agreed and passed, and the entire domestic power transfer process is very smooth and stable.

The new decree was issued, the new official position was announced, and the dust settled; Hamad called his father's villa in Geneva. The old father didn't feel anything strange before departure, and still closed his eyes and rested on the plane. After the plane landed, I stayed in the holiday villa leisurely, and then sat on the balcony to breathe the moist air and watch the greenery in the courtyard.

The rapid ringing of the phone broke the picture of the quiet time, and the servant conveyed that the call was from the Crown Prince from Qatar. He felt warm in his heart, thinking that it was his son who came to care about his hard journey, but the words of the other party poured cold water on his back, making him angry.

On the other end of the phone, the crown prince conveyed his enthronement in a tone of notification: "Father is on vacation, I have announced today that officials and people at all levels will replace father as the new emir."

Everyone behaves the same in the face of bad news. Khalifa just thought it was fake news he heard in a dream; then he was so angry that he was so angry that he finally accepted the reality of the overwhelming news.

After calming down, he informed his entourage to book a ticket to return to the country to save the situation; only then did he realize that his son had made a decision and froze all his accounts. He was a king who was a big spender in the past; now he has no money and can only stay in Geneva.

There was no armed conflict, no bloodshed; the coup d'état in Qatar seemed to have succeeded overnight.

In fact, if you want to cooperate, it is more reliable to negotiate with the crown prince. The idea of Khalifa's centralization has belonged to yesterday, and the continuous outbreak of protests among the people proves that the country needs to reform and realize democracy; and the old king advocates absolute power and refuses to let it go.

Economically, the young prince proposed that oil and natural gas are non-renewable resources; one day the national economy will become impoverished again due to the exhaustion of resources, and it is necessary to develop a diversified economy; refer to the development of modern industries in Europe and the United States, and establish new pillar industries.

The old king, on the other hand, followed a conservative development strategy and refused to introduce successful foreign experience. Focus on the immediate enjoyment and turn a deaf ear to these proposals. Internationally, though; Qatar is very rich, but it is not a developed country. Because the standards of developed countries require advanced industrial technology and advanced technology, Qatar is at a backward level in these two aspects, which makes the young crown prince angry;

Therefore, Khalifa didn't show much enthusiasm for meeting Bao Zixuan. In his mind, foreign countries hurt people to invest, and they must want to make money from Qatar. However, foreigners do not come and rely solely on Qatar's own strength; even if there is money, but no technology; it is not so easy to develop.

Khalifa just said politely, "Hello, Mr. Bao; welcome to Qatar!"

After that, I didn't say anything. I listened to the tone and looked at the expression; I knew that the arrival of the richest man Bao was not so welcome.

But Bao Zixuan is no longer the novice he was when he was just doing business, and he has met politicians from many countries. He didn't feel angry because of this trivial matter, so he smiled and said, "Hello! Your Majesty. I have heard your name a long time ago, but I have never been able to see you. It is an honor to be able to meet you today."

It stands to reason that Bao's richest man has been low-key enough, and even a little incompatible with his identity. If you are familiar with people, you must be surprised, is this person in front of you the deity of Bao Zixuan!

But the king felt nothing, he only thought that the other party was a businessman who wanted to make money from Qatar; he was no different from other people.

Khalifa: "Although Mr. Bao is young, it's good to have this kind of insight. The Black Cloud Group is a good company and can do business with Qatar."

Hearing what Dad said, Hamad was speechless for a while. As the world's No. 1 industrial enterprise, the Black Cloud Group, UU Reading was actually considered good in the eyes of the father. It was difficult to invite, but in order to enhance the industrial strength of Qatar; let people come to invest. With Bao Zixuan's status and status, not everyone can be invited.

How many countries in the Middle East want to invite people; being able to come to Qatar, but it gives a lot of face. But now he is only the crown prince; the country has major decisions, and it is still up to the father to decide. So I could only be anxious, thinking about explaining it to Bao Zixuan in private.

But he didn't expect that Bao Zixuan was not angry, but said with a smile, "Thank you for your recognition, Qatar is a rich country; no businessman will give up this opportunity."

After Bao Zixuan finished speaking, Hamad felt incredible. No wonder he was able to succeed, regardless of his youth, but the city is definitely not shallow. It can even reach the point where the joy and anger are invisible, and it may not even be able to do it by myself.

I really want to have more contact with such people, and I can definitely learn a lot.

Two people can say that they are not speculative, but the richest man Bao can still chat for more than an hour. Without deep skill, it is absolutely impossible to do this.

Khalifa has stated that the Black Cloud Group can come to Qatar to do business. It can be regarded as a harvest. After all, ordinary enterprises are not regarded by others.

Maybe it was because he knew something, or maybe it was because of Bao Zixuan's performance. He was very satisfied. It is still very face-saving, having dinner with the richest man in the palace; for this king, it is not easy.
