Chapter 50 Abandoning America, China Welcomes a Big Order
Respect other people's parents and grandparents as if they were your own elders, and take care of other people's children as if they were your own children. If everyone can achieve this noble morality, then there will be no difficulties in the world that can stump us.
2400 years ago, the sage said loudly, "Respect the old as my own, and the young as my own." These words have not been worn out in the past 2400 years. Today, they are still shining and have been deeply integrated into the spirit of the Chinese nation.
In the world today, only China can have this kind of romance that has been passed down for thousands of years!
"A sentence said 2400 years ago is still being practiced by the entire Chinese nation today? Oh my... God..."
Martha felt more excited than ever before.
She once felt extremely sad in front of the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor, lamenting the decline of her own cultural heritage, and was also amazed at how well China had preserved their historical relics.
But now, Martha suddenly realized that she had greatly underestimated the importance China attached to the word "inheritance"!
The so-called inheritance is not only about the material legacy left by our ancestors, but more importantly, it is about the recognition and practice of the ideological and cultural heritage of our ancestors! Chinese civilization was like this 5,000 years ago, and it is still like this 5,000 years later! Their material world may have undergone earth-shaking changes, but their spiritual core has always been consistent and has never changed!
This is the true meaning of ancient Chinese civilization that has never been interrupted.
At this point, even Prince Abel was speechless.
"Not only does it have such powerful scientific and technological capabilities, but it also takes cultural heritage so seriously. This mysterious oriental country called China is the one that we, the Chieftain of the Alliance, should cooperate with!"
Before he knew it, the sun had gradually risen outside the window. Prince Abel had really been through a long night, and anyone could see the fatigue in his eyes.
But beyond this tiredness, the excitement that can't be hidden is also real!
It was a great bargain to be able to spend one night and realize that there was such a potential partner on Blue Star.
"Secretary, have you arranged the flight? I should have said that we need the earliest flight today to the Arab League, and fast!"
-
Azabi, the capital of the Emirate of Alan.
Rubbing his still sleepy eyes, Abel walked out of the plane and returned to his hometown.
At the airport, there was already a special car and someone ready for him.
"Your Highness, the chief is waiting for you at the palace."
Abel nodded: "Lead the way."
On the way home in his exclusive luxury car, Abel unconsciously looked out the window.
The Emirate of Arab is indeed an extremely wealthy country. In addition to the world-renowned luxury city of Baidi, the capital of the Emirate of Arab is also a fertile land "covered with black gold" and "flowing with milk and honey". Here, skyscrapers rise from the ground, luxury cars drive by one after another, luxurious palaces, fountains, and high towers can be seen everywhere. Anyone who comes to see it will envy the countless wealth of this land.
But a person with real foresight will never just see this momentary prosperity.
"I have never seen other cities in China. From what I have seen of Chang'an City, although there are not so many luxurious high-rise buildings, their prosperity is not much different. This is just Chang'an City. If it is replaced by Jinghai, Modu and other famous international cities, I wonder what the scene will be like."
"China doesn't have that much oil. They really caught up with us by themselves. It's really..."
He smiled bitterly and sighed.
On the one hand, I am impressed by the amazing speed at which China is catching up.
On the other hand, I hate the fact that the Arab League is always bullied despite its wealth! China has always been striving for self-improvement and striving to be self-reliant in all fields. They can really get the most out of their 1 yuan.
Although the Arab Emirates is wealthy, it still lags behind in many key technologies. In many fields, it often costs 10 or 20 yuan to achieve 1 yuan of value.
Otherwise, with the per capita income levels of the two sides differing by dozens of times, how could there be such a prosperous city of Chang'an!
And now it’s time to change all this!
Prince Abel couldn't help but clench his fist!
The chief's palace, the chief's inner room.
"Abel, why are you returning home so soon?"
Muhammad Alahan, the contemporary leader of the Arab Emirates and the father of Prince Abel and Princess Shama, was reading. When he saw his son coming back, he did not take his eyes off the book, but just asked in a low voice.
Abel calmly replied, "There is no need to continue the inspection and negotiation in America, so I came back."
"The mission I'm giving you this time is related to the destiny of the Arab Emirates for a thousand years. Even if you encounter difficulties, you should find a way to solve the problem or communicate with me remotely. How can you ignore it so easily?"
The old father's tone was not strong, but it still had that kind of intimidating aura, as if he was questioning Abel why he was so willful.
"it's not true."
Abel took a deep breath. "I think that if the construction of a new capital city is handed over to the Americans, no matter which company builds it alone or jointly, it will eventually be like the Delman Company, squeezing out all our money, but far from meeting our construction requirements. So I think we should not continue to cooperate with the Americans on this matter. Now, I have found a more suitable partner."
"……oh?"
The old father finally took his eyes off the book and slowly looked at Abel.
Then, the old man with white hair opened his eyes wide and suddenly asked:
"Abel, do you know what you are talking about!"
The old father suddenly stood up. A heavy pressure emanated from the old man, pressing down on Abel like a towering mountain, making it difficult for him to breathe!
"Building New Azabi is the long-term plan of the Arab Emirates. I have repeatedly stressed its importance to you, but you are still as naughty and undisciplined as when you were a child. You were full of energy yesterday, but today you gave up when you encountered setbacks. How shameless!"
He said angrily: "We, the Chieftain of Alian, are now rich and have given you an extremely comfortable life. Now it seems that we have spoiled you too much! Do you know what the Chieftain of Alian was like when I was young? At that time, the Chieftain of Alian had no oil. Even if you were a direct descendant of the royal family, you had to do the hard work of picking pearls!"
"What has created the wealthy Arab Emirates today? It's oil! The oil that seems to be inexhaustible!"
"But is it true that oil is inexhaustible? What if one day, oil is exhausted? Or, even scarier, new energy sources dominate the world and no one uses backward energy like oil anymore? Have you ever thought about what the Arab Emirates will be like by then?"
"So we must seize the moment when we are still wealthy and catch up with the most advanced technological system! Even if we have to spend money, we must build a new city with the most advanced technology! In this way, even after our royal family loses the wealth of oil, we can still maintain the royal family's special status and life!"
"You said you found a more suitable partner. Tell me, besides America, which is the most technologically advanced country on the entire Blue Star, who else can help us build a new technological city? Lanxi? Britain? Russia? Even if they have the technology, what's the difference between them and America? They will just ask for too much at that time. Why bother looking for something far away?"
Abel's eyes were firm:
"I believe that they not only have the technology to help us build a new high-tech city, but also that their moral standards are trustworthy. They will negotiate business in an upright manner and will never do such dirty things!"
"Oh? There is such a country on this blue planet? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Yes! And that country, father, you have not only heard of it, but you have also been there in person. Its name is - Huaxia!"
