"Oh, my silly son, where did you go today?" Abdullah Rashid asked, looking at his favorite son.
"Father, I went to Panjiayuan in China today and bought a lot of Chinese porcelain; they say it was all left behind by the Chinese ancestors thousands of years ago."
"I also visited many places in China, but it is really too backward here."
"Every place I've seen doesn't have as much gold decoration as our bathroom at home." Abdullah was satisfied with everything in China, except that many places were quite shabby, which he wasn't quite used to.
"Silly child, you can't say that. Many places in China are indeed shabby, but you cannot say it directly," the old king said, looking at Abdullah dotingly.
"By the way, Father, I have also prepared a small gift for you."
"Oh? You actually prepared a gift for me?"
"Let me guess what it is."
"Chinese porcelain?"
"Or Chinese handicrafts?" the old king asked happily.
"Father, it's neither. Look at this." After saying that, Abdullah took an unopened pure white version of the Red Star X from the side.
"What is this?" the old king asked, very curious.
"This is a mobile phone from China. The entire body is made of Chinese ceramic, and the design on it has a very sci-fi feel. I like it very much, so I brought one for you too."
"I hope you like it, Father." Abdullah handed it to the old king as if presenting a treasure.
Abdullah Rashid knew that his son loved Chinese porcelain very much. During this visit to China, with his own subtle hints, China had also prepared quite a lot of exquisite porcelain for him.
"The casing of this phone is made of Chinese ceramic. They say it has to be fired at a high temperature of 5,000 degrees for seven days and seven nights to get a few usable pieces. It is extremely rare."
"And I really like the design of this phone. Look here." After saying that, Abdullah opened the front camera. Accompanied by a sound effect, the front camera popped up from the top of the phone.
"Isn't it cool?"
Looking at the excited Abdullah, the old king played with the Red Star X. Indeed, the feel was much better than his own pure gold Fruit 5s.
"Abdullah, I like this gift very much. You are thoughtful, my child."
"I also prepared one for my younger brothers and sisters. I'll give them as gifts when I go back. I think they will definitely like them."
"Father, how much longer will this visit last?"
"It will probably take another week," Abdullah Rashid said. The cooperation with China had basically reached a consensus, but many things still needed to be discussed further.
After all, this also concerned the peace of Saudi Arabia for the next ten or several decades.
He had already expressed his sincerity clearly; it just depended on whether China could give him a few more "big killers."
Preferably the kind with "eggs."
Meanwhile, an elderly man in a national-level position also received a report on the Little Prince's itinerary for the day.
"You mean the Little Prince not only went to Panjiayuan but also bought hundreds of Chinese mobile phones?"
"Yes, Prince Abdullah signed a check for 5 million us dollar at the Red Star specialty store, saying it was to renovate the Red Star store because he disliked that he couldn't see any gold decoration in the entire shop."
"After leaving the Red Star specialty store, Abdullah has been using the phone he bought today. It is clear that the Little Prince likes it very much."
The old man chuckled. Middle East tycoons just loved gold. Last time he visited the dog tycoon's home, looking around, he absolutely couldn't see any other material where gold could be used.
Who could blame them when liquid gold flowed under their feet?
This time, Abdullah Rashid came to visit China for cooperation regarding that liquid gold. Although China was vast and rich in resources, who would complain about having too much of this stuff?
If it could be imported, it naturally had to be imported; what was in his own land had to be saved for future generations.
"Wait, you said Red Star Mobile Phone?"
"Yes, the Little Prince purchased hundreds of Red Star's newly released mobile phones. At that time, the store didn't have that much stock, so the manager had to transfer the goods from the headquarters. Our people went to pick up the goods by car in the afternoon."
"Red Star, Red Star, what a familiar name." The old man seemed to recall something. "Is Chen Chen the person in charge of Red Star now?"
"Yes, after Mr. Chen Yunlong passed away five years ago, Red Star was taken over by Chen Chen."
"In these few years, under Chen Chen's leadership, Red Star has successively launched several mobile phones that are very popular. Last month, they even released the world's first Full-Screen Display concept mobile phone, which is very popular with consumers. It is currently hard to buy one in the market."
"Moreover, this mobile phone is a leader in mobile phone form concepts among our Chinese domestic mobile phone manufacturers. The global mobile phone market is shocked by it. The processor on it is also independently designed by Red Star. Well... in Red Star's words, it is currently the strongest mobile phone processor chip on Earth."
"This is the one Prince Abdullah purchased today."
"Hmm, so many years have passed in a flash, and that kid Chen Chen has grown up," the old man said with emotion.
"You know Chen Chen?"
"I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize him now. I saw him a few times when he was a child. It's been almost 20 years."
Seeing that the old man seemed to be thinking about other things, he didn't say anything more and prepared to get up and leave.
"Wait."
"Keep an eye on this Red Star in the future, and report to me whenever there is any news."
The old man called out to Wu Anbang and said.
Seeing him leave, the old man pondered for a moment and picked up the red phone on the table.
