Chapter 59: Abandon America and turn to China, the new science and technology city super project!

The live broadcast is over.

After staying up all night, Lin Yan and Martha couldn't take it anymore. After meeting the students of Chang'an City No. 4 Middle School in the early morning, Lin Yan returned to the hotel and fell into a deep sleep with the sound of the notification that his account had been credited to his account.

But his live broadcast today is destined to have far-reaching impact.

In the Arab Palace, the old father stared at the screen of his mobile phone, which had gone black some time ago, for an entire hour without saying a word, always in deep thought.

"Father, are you... okay?"

Abel couldn't help but remind him.

Did this live broadcast just now have such a great impact on your father?

From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen his father look so distraught!

"…It's okay. I just feel a little emotional."

The old father sighed softly, turned around and asked Abel:

"Abel, when you flew back from America, you wanted to hand over the order for the new science and technology city to China, right?"

Abel nodded.

After seeing the amazing changes in China during this live broadcast, I believe my father will support my original idea.

However, his old father's words surprised him again.

"In principle, I agree. If you want to go to China to discuss cooperation in this area, I can allow you to do it at your own convenience. All conditions can be decided by you without my consent."

what! ?

Does father mean to give me full power?

But...what does "agree in principle" mean? Isn't it also "disagree in fact"?

Could it be that father is still worried about the cooperation with China?
The old father glared at him:
"This is a long-term plan for our country. You can decide it in just a few days? Are you so foolish? Even if we want to cooperate with China, you have to go to China in person to investigate, negotiate with their officials and companies, and always have a way out of "we can still choose America". Only in this way can we negotiate conditions that are beneficial to us. Don't you understand this?"

Abel smiled and said yes.

Seeing his son like this, the old father sighed again and said slowly: "Besides this, I have another important mission for you when you go to China this time. This time is the same. I give you the right to act at your own discretion. You can completely regard yourself as the head of the Alian Chiefs. Based on the results of your investigation in China, it is up to you to judge whether this mission can be completed."

Abel: “!?”

Wait, what my father said sounds a bit wrong to me.

"That's what you meant."

The old father sat on the chair, closed his eyes and whispered: "I just realized today that I am really old."

"In the far east, there is a country that is going through tremendous changes. I was totally unaware of this and wasted at least ten years... no, it could be as much as thirty years."

"It was because I trusted what I saw too much that I failed to notice the true image of China hidden under its poverty at that time, which led to us missing out on an excellent partner. If I had seen all this back then, given China's conditions at that time, we would have been able to form a partnership with them that was comparable to an alliance. Now... heh."

"I already feel that I am not fit to continue to hold the power of this country. It is time to give way to the younger generation." "You and Shama performed very well this time, at least much better than an old man like me. You have suffered from my prejudice against China for many years, but you finally overcame the prejudice and recognized the true image of China. This is very good. I am very satisfied."

Father……

Abel's eyes were complicated.

He really wanted to say, Father, you are still very strong and it is far from the time for you to retreat behind the scenes.

But when he looked at his father's white hair due to his hard work for state affairs, the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

"I won't let my father down."

Finally, he said firmly: "I am determined to win this cooperation with China! The new science and technology city we build with China, the future capital of the Arab Emirates, will be the starting point for us to become stronger like China!"

"...No, you misunderstood me. The second task I want to give you is to let you judge with your own eyes whether this super project can only be built by China."

"Father!?"

Abel was really shocked.

What's going on? Didn't my father approve of Huaxia? And he asked me to go to Huaxia to discuss this cooperation? Why is he now saying that Huaxia can't build the new city?
“Is there a possibility that we, the Arabs, can change our country with our own hands, just like China?”

The old father said lightly.

Abel's eyes widened.

"Father, what do you mean-"

“As the saying goes, ‘Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die.’”

The old father stood up and said slowly: "There is no future in blindly learning from China, and it is even more foolish to hand over the lifeblood of our country to China. The wealth accumulated by the Emirates and the oil reserves we still have are enough to support us for a hundred years as long as the world situation does not start a new season."

"China's thirty years of rapid development is only superficial, the result of their accumulated experience. They must have had more amazing preparations thirty years ago, which led to the "seventh-story tower" of thirty years of dramatic changes. Just like their so-called universal university education, they must have popularized a fairly complete grassroots education thirty years ago, and it took them much longer than thirty years to lay a solid foundation, so that they could promote this incredible universal university education."

"My second task for you is to investigate in detail what the first six layers of the tower foundation are. Can we, Chief Alian, also spend decades to build these six layers of the tower foundation? In the end, Chief Alian can build our own 'seventh-story tower' with our own hands!"

We don't rely on China, let alone the United States, but on the U.S. Arab League to build a new technology city, our future new capital! ?

Even Abel himself was shocked when he heard his father's idea!
It’s crazy!

But, if you think about it carefully, it may not be impossible!

Back then, China was poor and weak, and they must have spent a lot of energy to accumulate funds to build the "first six floors of the tower". But the Chiefs of the Alliance were not short of money, and they could save a lot of unnecessary steps for them, and they could speed up the process by spending money.

The most important thing is that with China as their "good teacher" in front of them, the Chiefs of Allen can definitely stand on the shoulders of giants!
I see! This is what my father meant when he said "I agree in principle"!
"It would be best if you could learn about the 'first six floors of the tower' from China and apply this valuable experience to our Emirate. If you think the situation in China is too special and we cannot implement China's experience in the Emirate, then we can start cooperation with them. It doesn't matter if we spend more money, but we must learn something from them, whether it's technology, system, or culture, as long as it's suitable for us, we can learn from them."

"The worst-case scenario is that we simply reach a deal and let them undertake this mega project. Even if we cannot learn from China's experience in becoming strong, we must leave a way out for our descendants after the oil era fades away."

"All judgments are left to you, Abel. As the head of this country, your first stop and your first decision for this country is to go to China!"
