Chapter 886: New Oil
During the next visit, the prince of Dubai really took Meng Qian to look over Dubai's technological foundation, and almost stated that Dubai will use Dafeng Group's technology as the main purchaser in the next smart city construction, especially It is the underlying technology, and will use the technology of Dafeng Group on a large scale.
This sincerity is indeed seen by Meng Qian. Of course, this is also a kind of "pressure" from Dubai. We will give you enough sincerity in the cooperation with Dafeng Group. Then in the next cooperation, Dafeng Group Should we also give more consideration to the interests of Dubai?
Cooperation requires everyone to show some sincerity.
Through a day's communication, both parties probably understood each other's attitude and thoughts. In the evening, Meng Qian returned to the hotel early after experiencing the extravagant nightlife.
"What do you think of Dubai?" Meng Qian asked He Jingtong who brought him here this time.
"Dubai's attitude of not wanting independent technology is obvious for the time being. They just want something that looks tall to show their technological strength, and judging from the products they are interested in now, they actually started in combined with their tourism.
However, the biggest pillar of Dubai now is the tourism industry, which is reasonable from the perspective of the tourism industry. "
He Jingtong found that Meng Qian didn't talk to him, looked up at him and continued, "Dubai's pursuit of future technology products is actually very meaningful to us, and Dubai can become an excellent product testing ground for us.
After all, Dubai not only has a high degree of interest in future concept products, but also is willing to invest huge support for it, which can be said to exceed any other country.
Although Dubai at this time is actually a fake local tyrant who owes debts, but the local tyrant has developed a habit of being extravagant since childhood. As long as they can still borrow money, they will not learn to live frugally. "
Meng Qian had a slightly dark face, "What else?"
"besides."
Seeing that He Jingtong couldn't speak, Meng Qian hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Do you think Dubai will agree to the talent data system I proposed?"
"Yes." He Jing replied in seconds.
"Why?"
"Because once this talent data system is established, we will inevitably invest in various aspects around this system in the future, which is what Dubai needs now.
And we agreed to share data with Dubai, which is a free benefit for Dubai. "
Meng Qian's face darkened even more, "Do you know that the United States has always been the largest investment in Dubai, and do you know that the Dubai government has used Microsoft systems and Intel chips so far?
Do you know what Dubai relies on to cooperate with us in 5G smart cities? If Dubai wants to build a talent database, will anyone stop it?
Are you sure that this thing can be done by Dubai? "
"this"
Meng Qian didn't wait for He Jingtong's reaction, and continued, "Dubai has always declared that it wants to build Dubai into one of the world's financial centers, but a highly open financial center is contradictory to a highly rigorous R&D center, you know? "
He Jingtong was a little surprised, "Then how did Singapore resolve this contradiction?"
"Singapore's biggest financial advantage before was strict management, while Dubai's finance is highly open. Dubai has an alias called the capital of financial crimes.
Have you figured out whether Dubai's ultimate goal is to be the world's technology center or the world's financial center? "
"Dubai... Should be more inclined to become one of the world's financial centers?"
"Then think about it again. I have a lot of technology to discuss with Dubai. Why did I choose the talent data system as the key to express my attitude to Dubai negotiations?"
"because."
Meng Qian waited for a long time, not in the mood to wait for He Jingtong to come to his senses, so he glanced directly at Huang Qiaoling who was sitting beside him, "Is it convenient for Mr. Huang to talk about his views on Dubai?"
Huang Qiaoling looked at Meng Qianxun's employees, and it was inconvenient to say more, but knowing that Meng Qian was actually testing him, he concluded in one sentence, "Dubai is not as luxurious as everyone thinks, and it is not as luxurious as everyone thinks. Then get lost in it."
Meng Qian nodded in approval, then looked at He Jingtong again, "Do you understand?"
He Jingtong shook his head honestly.
"Then don't sleep tonight, think about it."
He Jingtong didn't resist, so he really didn't want to sleep.
Early the next morning, after Meng Qian had finished his breakfast, the royal housekeeper came to invite Meng Qian to go out. When he came downstairs, Meng Qian saw the prince, Omar, and a lion beside them.
"I heard that Mr. Meng likes lions, so I asked someone to pick one for Mr. Meng."
Meng Qian didn't respond, but stood opposite the lion and looked at him quietly.
"Master, it's best not to look at the lion." He Jingtong whispered in Meng Qian's ear. Although he didn't sleep all night, He Jingtong looked very energetic at this time.
However, Meng Qian couldn't hear He Jingtong's words at all, and he walked forward uncontrollably. When Meng Qian walked in front of the lion, he saw the lion opened its bloody mouth and let out a low voice.
The entourage of the Dafeng Group was a little worried, and Meng Qian's two accompanying bodyguards subconsciously looked at each other, ready to die here today.
Looking at Meng Qian again, he stretched out his hand and pressed the lion's head, but the latter quickly became docile.
Under everyone's gaze, Meng Qian shook his head directly, "Lions can doze off, but they can never be tamed."
The translator translated Meng Qian's words to everyone in Dubai. After hearing this, the prince stepped forward, "Mr. Meng, let's go."
"OK."
The prince gave him a look, and the entourage dragged the lion away.
Today, the prince brought Meng Qian to Palm Island in Dubai, and prepared a villa for Meng Qian in an excellent location, "I hope Mr. Meng can come to Dubai often in the future."
The action of giving the villa and this sentence further showed Dubai's attitude at this time. Meng Qian readily accepted the gift and came to the private beach outside the villa.
After the screen retreated to the left and right, Meng Qian took He Jingtong, the prince took Omar, and the four sat together.
The prince took the initiative to say, "Our oil reserves in Dubai are relatively small, so many people thought that we should sell oil slowly and develop slowly. After all, our wealth that can be squandered is not as rich as theirs.
However, we made a choice that surprised everyone. We sold oil as quickly as possible and used oil to borrow money. As many people said, we squeezed out our own wealth and bought Dubai today.
But many people only know the high-rise buildings in Dubai, but they don’t know that as early as the 1960s, we dug canals, built ports and airports to develop logistics, and created conditions for the construction of free ports, and they don’t know that we are at the most suitable time. Build a digital city, actively participate in the global information revolution, promote industrial upgrading, and transfer to the service industry.
From the time I learned to read, I knew the words of the Sheikh ancestors: Without a vision to guide our direction, without an ambition to push the limits, we will never be able to build a brilliant tomorrow for generations to come.
Now Dubai has successfully developed into a center of trade, logistics, tourism, culture and art in the Middle East, and even, we have begun to compete as one of the world's core financial centers. "
The prince paused, and Meng Qian answered very naturally, "In a relatively conservative region like the Middle East, Dubai is indeed a miracle. In the past, it was just a small village that no one cares about. It is true that Dubai is the same as London and New York. Nor is it reasonable."
"We will never become a city like New York or London." The prince's eyes suddenly became serious, "Because we have our own characteristics."
"So what exactly is Dubai thinking now?" There were only four people left talking, and naturally everyone would talk straightforwardly.
"I heard that Mr. Meng said a word many years ago."
"What words?"
"Data is the new oil."
The corners of Meng Qian's eyes moved slightly, "Well, I did say that."
"We do not have any oil in Dubai, but as Mr. Meng said, we have data, unique data, and global data."
The eyes of the prince and Meng Qian collided unconsciously, "In Mr. Meng's opinion, can data be compared with oil now?"
Meng Qian smiled at the prince, "What makes data more interesting than oil is that its value lies in mining. In a sense, the value of data can be endless."
"As far as I know, Amazon has already monopolized the consumption data of the United States, and has swallowed 43% of the profits by using the consumption data of the United States. Amazon is likely to be the largest giant company in the United States in the future.
But why does the data conversion capability of Dafeng Group seem to be "the prince asked directly.
"I actually answered this question yesterday, because we accept supervision and self-regulation, and we respect the data security of users."
The prince showed a little hesitation, and Meng Qian smiled lightly, "But even so, our total profit still exceeds Amazon."
"Why?"
"Because the huge database we have is not comparable to that of Amazon."
Uncertainly, the prince looked for affirmation from Meng Qian's eyes, "So what if we cooperate with Dafeng Group?"
"If security and data conversion can be taken into account, don't you think the space and scale that can be controlled will be larger?"
The prince continued to look into Meng Qian's eyes, and after a few seconds he laughed and stretched out his hand to signal, "I thought about it all night yesterday, and I think the talent data system proposed by Mr. Meng is very necessary."
Meng Qian held the prince's hand and said, "Although Dubai does not have the largest oil reserves in the Middle East, it will definitely have the largest data reserves in the Middle East."
These two chapters were yesterday's snow blocking the road, and I came back late
