Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

Chapter 726: The third industrial transformation

Xiao Tan Tan's flattery obviously made the old chief very useful, which can be seen from his already rippling smile and the piles of folds on his face.

"Yes, when we built the first offshore oil well in Dubai, I realized that oil cannot bring us Dubai's permanent prosperity, because it is limited, so I made that bold decision that year. ."

The old chief rubbed his gray beard and smiled: "So you see, Eric, our port has now developed into one of Dubai’s most important economic pillars. This is why I have to seriously consider working with every trading partner. An important reason for the partnership."

Tan Zhenhua nodded and said: "Yes, old chief, you are right. Trade has always been based on credit. It is understandable that you think so. I also analyzed it from my own perspective, kid."

The Sheikh on the side said: "Eric, since it comes to trade, let's talk about this topic. We all know that you have achieved achievements that others may not be able to achieve in a very short time. Then it is yours. From a point of view, how should Dubai's future economic development go?"

"Uh, this, there is the old chief here, how can there be a place where I can put my beak casually?" Tan Zhenhua pretended to be modest.

The old chief said: "Eric, I heard that you have an old saying in China, "Listen to the bright side, but believe in the dark". We are chatting now, so you can just say your suggestions and ideas and listen more. Listening to the opinions of friends can make our future road in Dubai more secure."

Sheikh also urged: "Yes, my father is right, Eric, you are a very thoughtful person, just take it as some advice to good friends."

Tan Zhenhua couldn't give in, so he cleared his throat and said, "Well, I'll just say it. The words of the family are for reference only."

"I heard that before oil was discovered in the 1960s, Dubai was not an affluent area. At that time, the most important economic pillar was the pearl gathering and processing industry. This situation continued until the first one was discovered in 1966. oilfield."

Looking at the eyes of the old chief and the three princes staring at him intensively, Tan Zhenhua continued to talk eloquently: "The discovery and exploitation of this oil field marks the first industrial transformation in Dubai, and it is also this successful industry. The transformation has pushed Dubai's development into the fast lane. It was at that time that the old chief made a very wise decision in my opinion to build two modern seaports with funds obtained from oil exports."

"That's because our Dubai's proven oil reserves are only a mere 400 million barrels." The old chief said: "If we only rely on oil exports, then we only need to continue mining for several decades, and we in Dubai will face resource depletion. At that time, we will be poor again."

Tan Zhenhua said: "Yes, due to the long-term vision of the old chief, this fund has promoted Dubai's second industrial transformation, and the most important sign of this is the renovation of Rashid Port and the new construction of Minajbel Ali Port. It is also the good operation of these two ports that pushed Dubai to the position of the most important trade distribution center in the Middle East today."

The old chief had a good face, while Prince Sheikh nodded slightly, because this was the most proud feat of the old chief in his life.

"But I think, maybe, we can do better." Tan Zhenhua changed the subject.

"Uh, this, the throughput of Eric, Rashid Port and Minajbel Ali Port is already the largest port in the entire Middle East, and Minajbel Ali Port is currently under expansion and will be completed. In the future, there will be a million-ton dry dock, which is among the best in the world’s seaports. We even plan to support ship repair centers, plastic plants, aluminum smelters, machinery plants, etc., and even A cement plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons is also planned, what else do you think we can do?" Sheikh asked puzzledly.

"For a simple port, these are enough and can even be said to be excellent, but for trade, it still lacks some attractiveness. If we rely on the port and add a little policy, we may be able to get Better results."

"What kind of policy?"

"For example, a free trade zone."

"You mean..."

"Since you have chosen to use trade as an important cornerstone of Dubai's future development, why not make this the ultimate? The port with the largest throughput in the Persian Gulf is supporting the most attractive free trade zone in the Middle East. There are several companies Can you resist this temptation? And what kind of benefits can Dubai be brought to Dubai by building Dubai into the largest transit trading port and cargo distribution center in the entire Middle East? Needless to say, don't I?"

Tan Zhenhua's idea was so tempting, Xie He couldn't help but turn his attention to his father, and he saw that the old chief was thinking.

The construction of a free trade zone is obviously a major decision that requires careful argumentation, careful calculation, and careful weighing. Of course, it is impossible to make a decision based on Xiao Tan Tan's few words, but Xie He clearly sees the change in his father's expression. Out, the old chief was tempted!

"And I think there is another industry that is also very suitable for Dubai." Tan Zhenhua continued his flicker, and if done well, it will achieve Dubai's third industrial transformation. "

"What industry?" Sheikh asked subconsciously.

"Tourism vacation."

"Tourism vacation? Uh... this, Eric, are you a bit whimsical? Let's look at Dubai, whether the sand is removed or the sand is removed. The climate is not good, it is terribly hot, and there are several sandstorms every few days. , Who is all right for us to travel here?" Sheikh smiled bitterly.

"Three princes, that's why you didn't understand the true meaning of people traveling!"

"Uh, what are you talking about?"

"In fact, it’s just to go to places where others are tired of being bored for a few days, and then take a few photos and send them to the circle of friends...cough cough cough, three princes, to show that this problem is more complicated, not as good as us Let’s play a game, I’ll give a place name, and then how about you say the first association you have produced as quickly as possible?"

"……Try it."

"Okay, let's start..."

"Paris?"

"Eiffel Tower."

"new York?"

"Statue of Liberty?"

"London?"

"Buckingham Palace."

"Washington?"

"White House."

"Egypt?"

"pyramid."

"Dubai?"

"..."

"You see, the three princes, these famous tourist destination cities in the world must have their own landmark buildings. This has nothing to do with the local climate or a dime. People actually focus on the most famous ones. The buildings are built by people, and the buildings are all built by people? The difference is what the building looks like and when was it built. The reason why Dubai is not a tourist destination for people now lies in you The third prince couldn't think of what Dubai's representative architecture is."

"So Eric, do you think that we want to develop the tourism and vacation industry and turn Dubai into one of people's preferred tourist destination cities. We only need to build a few landmark buildings?"

"That's about it. In fact, I want to say that the core content should be, what kind of building must be built to best represent the characteristics of this city."

"So Eric, your suggestion?"

"My suggestion, of course, should start with the characteristics of our Arabs."
