Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1332, 1319. Showing Off Skills
“It’s not about the price, it’s two different things.” Mansour shook his head. “My father said it was intentional for me to learn more about things, and that since I’ve embarked on this path, I’ll have to know these things sooner or later.”

"What's wrong?" Luo Yihang asked curiously.

Mansour spoke mysteriously, lowering his voice and pointing upwards, "A bunch of countries to our north are under sanctions, they're short of everything. A used Corolla can sell for $150,000 there."

"Hiss~~" Luo Yihang gasped. A Corolla? A second-hand one, selling for over a million? Are you crazy? That's outrageous.

"This counts as smuggling, right? It's risky," Luo Yihang said in a low voice.

Mansour shook his head. "Exporting from the East is definitely legitimate. As for where it ends up after it's exported, you don't need to worry about that; you wouldn't know anyway. Of course, it's risky for others, very risky, but with Sister Manar handling it, there's no risk."

Luo Yihang probably understood, and he also knew what Mansur needed to know.

The relationships among these Middle Eastern Arab countries are incredibly complex and tangled.

But there's no contradiction in making money together as a partnership.

Even if something goes wrong, an apology is all it takes. The princess was ignorant, she might have been making some extra money on the side, and she can just quit. Why would they arrest her?

This kid wasn't just saying it casually; he was informing Luo Yihang.

Luo Yihang didn't intend to ask too much about their internal affairs.

While casually flipping through Mansour's "gifts," I turned to the back and, lo and behold, there was something good.

"This is pretty good," Luo Yihang said, pointing to his phone screen and changing the subject.

It holds a 10% stake in Endeavor Group and indirectly holds a 4.2% stake in TKO, a subsidiary of Endeavor Group, making it the fourth largest shareholder of TKO.

TKO is a media and entertainment company with a portfolio of television programs, entertainment shows, competitions, and themed products.

This includes the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship).

“This is a good thing,” Luo Yihang said again.

Mansur clicked his tongue as he looked at the thing, recalling the first time they met when Luo Yihang snapped his phone in half.

There was also the time when a drunkard opened his business and Jacques caused trouble.

With a snap, he dislocated the man's arm, and with a whoosh, he threw the burly man weighing over 200 pounds out.

Swallowing nervously, Mansur said, "Brother Luo, you...you don't actually want to go up there, do you? I know you're good, but we can fight privately. Going to the ring isn't in line with our status."

This kid has no idea how powerful Luo Yihang is.

However, Luo Yihang had no interest in going into the ring; bullying children was pointless.

Luo Yihang waved his hand, "I don't plan to fight. I have a kid who's training well, and his dream is to become a UFC fighter. It'll be a good opportunity to fulfill his dream and bring back a few championship belts to win glory for the country."

"Can he do it?" Mansour expressed his doubt.

"You dropped the 'ma' part," Luo Yihang laughed. "He'll be over in a couple of days, and he'll show you what he's got during the Boke competition."

"Also, I've set up a luxury goods industry alliance, and it needs influential events to get started. By the way, don't waste the events your sister, father, and uncle have; help me get in touch with them," Luo Yihang added.

Brother-in-law, what kind of address is that?

Mansour's Chinese is not very good; he can speak it in daily life, but he doesn't make many connections.

Or maybe they don't care about that.

Instead, he happily chimed in, "I know, I know, Arno had quite a fight going on after he got back..."
-
We're chatting right now.

They called for Luo Yihang and Mansour to come over and participate in the negotiations.

They have already agreed on the general framework.

Don't be fooled by how short it has been; it's been full of twists and turns.

The group from Dubai acted like they were in a supermarket, throwing shopping carts into the store with a bang.

It’s like not asking for money.

It's a freebie for them, so they might as well exchange it for something useful.

Therefore, Mr. Ou paid for the entire meal.

Spend it all, until it's completely gone.

In the end, there were too many options to choose from, and not enough shares.

The stock valuation of those industrial groups in Europe and America is only 1200 billion. Listen to that, "only".

However, after selecting 1400 billion worth of items, they made up the difference with oil, natural gas, and gold.

These are good things too.

The Chinese side found the price reasonable and added a batch of automobiles, communication equipment, rubber products, electronic equipment, and building materials to make it a round number.

I called Luo Yihang over to talk about this.

The UAE imports $20 to $30 million worth of rubber products from the East every year.

Mainly tires, rubber hoses, rubber belts, etc.

Tires are the biggest expense.

The climate and environment there cause tire wear to be particularly high, requiring frequent replacements.

The service life is specified to be a maximum of five years, but it usually breaks down after two years.

There are many other regulations, such as the requirement that it must be able to withstand temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius.

As for rubber, now we have Glue77.

New product, inexpensive, available in large quantities, the best choice.

Moreover, you've all come to the right place, just in time for the grand opening promotion. New customers aren't here to make money, they're here to make friends.

Come on, let's give each other a huge discount and get it done in one go!
Upon hearing Luo Yihang's offer, the royal representatives stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, faces flushed red, and then their eyes turned red as they placed a flurry of orders.

Rounding up?

Why even bother with rounding it up? They pushed it directly from over 1400 billion to 1600 billion, taking on orders that would have taken ten years to complete.

Damn, over 10 billion tires, how many lifetimes would it take to use them?

He's definitely fallen back into his old ways, eager to become a middleman.

It's about exchanging what you have and what you don't have; isn't that exactly what it means?
-
With that part covered, only one question remains.

Mansur later added peach blossoms and willows.

When this project was proposed, the royal representatives looked at each other, completely bewildered.

I didn't understand what it meant. What does "peach blossoms and willows in green" mean? I don't know what it is.

Although none of them were visiting for the first time, there are so many scenic spots in China, how could these people possibly know them all?

Fortunately, we live in the internet age, so we can watch videos even if we haven't seen something before.

Luo Yihang connected the projector and searched for "peach blossoms and willows".

I found a stunning view of West Lake – Spring Dawn on the Su Causeway.

From the very first shot, not only the royal representatives, but even Abdullah and Amal were stunned.

With upturned corners of his mouth and a face as beautiful as a peach blossom, he stared blankly, slurping and swallowing his saliva.

The beauty of West Lake is so stunning that even we Chinese are often awestruck when we first see it.

Not to mention people from the desert.

I have absolutely no resistance to the phrase "a hundred percent peach blossoms and a thousand percent willows, a vibrant and enchanting landscape of Jiangnan."

One video has finished playing.

Luo Yihang then found them "Northern Man's Decoy".

When I first saw the line "Leaning against the window and railing, listening to the wind and rain, quietly waiting for the flowers to bloom and fall from the branches," my eyes welled up with tears.

When I saw the lines "The moon shines low on the willows by the pavilion, the song ends under the peach blossom fan," I was completely dumbfounded.

Finally, the lines "Green mountains, unpainted, a painting for a thousand autumns; green waters, unstringed, a zither for ten thousand ages" appear.

Finished.

The foreigners were stunned; they all looked like they were drunk and dizzy.

He gestured but couldn't speak, asking to have it played again.

Play it two more times.

Play it a third time.

After watching it four times in a row, finally a representative was able to speak.

He stammered, "Is this a real scene? Not special effects?"

They must have thought of this as a movie special effect.

Luo Yihang smiled and shook his head, "It's not special effects, it's all real scenery."

As he spoke, he extended his hand to Mansour, "Mansour saw this beautiful scenery in Tianhan, so he offered to bring it back to Dubai."

This is to give my good brother a boost.

As expected, the royal representatives showered Mansour with praise, commending him for doing a great service, their enthusiasm rivaling that of when they bought the rubber. Luo Yihang had been worried they might find the strong oriental influence incongruous with Dubai.

As it turned out, they didn't take it seriously at all.

They are very proud of their Arab culture, but two things are missing from Arab culture.
They lack ice and snow, and water towns; the conditions don't allow it.

As the saying goes, the more you lack something, the more you like it.

Just like Luo Yihang and others who have lived their whole lives in inland mountainous areas, they love the seaside the most.

It was chaotic and lively for quite a while.

We finally got back to business.

Mansour asked curiously, "The Dubai Creek is a saltwater river with highly saline desert on both banks. Is it really possible to replicate that?"

Luo Yihang was prepared and patted his chest to assure everyone, "Don't worry, I've found a solution. I can grow anything, not just in the desert, but in the entire desert."

Then, he pulled out a PowerPoint presentation and started talking about Wuwei's "Desert Cloud Peach," Hotan's desert rose, more than twenty kinds of peaches in Ningxia, and "Chengbang Willow"...

"As for saline-alkali land, I have the 'overlay and under-conditioning' salt control and fertilization technology. I can even use multi-molecular three-dimensional composite biological water retention technology to send you finished trees so you don't have to wait and can see the scenery in the spring."

Luo Yihang concluded by saying he was incredibly confident.

Abdullah is indeed an elder, cunning and shrewd... a master strategist.

His ears perked up immediately, and he asked, "What kind of technology is this? It can turn saline-alkali land into farmland in a short time? And it can also improve the survival rate of transplanted trees?"

Luo Yihang smiled and nodded.

Before he could even speak...

Abdullah immediately asked, "Could you allow us to import these two technologies?"

He then added, "High price! Name your terms!"

He was truly perceptive; he instantly grasped the value of these two technologies.

He explained to Mansur in a low voice, “Wind and sand protection forests, farmland area.”

Luo Yihang smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, these two technologies are not yet perfect and are currently in the experimental stage. Let's talk about it again after they are fully successful."

This is a polite way of declining.

Abdullah wanted to say something more.

Luo Yihang added before he could, "It's definitely not perfect. We haven't even published a paper or applied for a patent."

Upon hearing this, Abdullah immediately understood the subtext, indicating a high degree of secrecy.

He could only sigh, "Well, if the experiment is successful and transfer is permitted, please give us priority consideration."

"Definitely, definitely," Luo Yihang agreed, then changed the subject, "Let's talk about the specifics next."

As Luo Yihang spoke, he pulled up a map.

A panoramic view of Dubai Creek.

“Mansour previously discussed landscaping along both banks of the Dubai Creek, which is ten kilometers long and meanders from the bay to the inland, forming a U-shaped bend.”

“I visited this place when I went to Dubai, and the scenery around the bend was beautiful.”

The people opposite nodded in agreement. They were proud to have a river in the desert, even if it was only ten kilometers long and a saltwater river.

"Considering Dubai's natural environment, I think that if we're going to plant trees along the riverbank, we should plant them more densely. That would make the scenery more spectacular and also serve as a protective forest."

This resonated with them; of course, it would be even better to plant more trees.

In Dubai, greenery is a true luxury, and the number of trees on one's estate is considered a sign of wealth by the nobility.

"Peach blossoms and willows are green. Generally, there are more peach trees than willow trees. This is because red flowers complement green leaves, and the flowers are the main feature of the scenery. During the flowering period, a dense display of 'peach blossoms' is needed. In addition, the willows have larger canopies, so sufficient space needs to be left."

"Therefore, the peach trees are spaced six meters apart, and the willow trees are spaced ten meters apart."

"Desert roses will also be planted under the peach trees to help stabilize the sand. All the desert roses will be given away as a token of our appreciation."

They didn't react much to this, only expressing their gratitude and wishing for a lasting friendship.

Leave professional tasks to professionals.

"Finally, here..." Luo Yihang drew a circle at the bend of the U-shape, "This place is so beautiful, so I want to make it even more beautiful. How about adding a sea of ​​flowers and a forest here? Magnolias and forsythia bloom in early spring, arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern; crape myrtles and apricots bloom in early summer, their pink, white, and pale purple hues complementing the reflections of the weeping willows, creating a poetic scene of 'flowers falling on the spring river'..."

As Luo Yihang narrated.

The royal representatives were already intoxicated.

Dubai, in the middle of the desert, they never imagined there could be a sea of ​​flowers.

Looking at the pictures in the PPT, they're not just ordinary flowers, they're trees!! Flowering trees!!!
How beautiful that would be!

Once it's built, it will bring Dubai tremendous fame!
but……

"Is it really possible?" the Dubai royal representative asked nervously.

Luo Yihang smiled confidently: "As long as you need me, I can definitely do it."

What is this? This is definitely showing off!

While fulfilling Mansur's requirements, Luo Yihang suddenly realized that inulin water-retaining agent could not only coat seeds, but also, when combined with Qi Ruomu's mulching agent and an intelligent water and fertilizer system, could be used for landscaping.

In the desert, on the wasteland, anywhere is fine.

These Middle Eastern princes, who are so poor they have nothing left but money, can afford to build a ski resort inside a shopping mall just to play in the snow. Which of them can resist the temptation of having a forest right at their doorstep, let alone a flowering forest?

They can't be captivated by it.

What a vast market!

Look, these people in front of me are already completely captivated.

I haven't even seen the real thing yet, but just imagining it in my mind is already giving me a mental orgasm.

The representative from the Dubai royal family was yelling, "Want it! Want it! We want it all!"

The others couldn't stand it anymore and started shouting that they wanted it too, offering whatever conditions they wanted, and they wouldn't stand for it if they didn't agree.

It was chaotic and noisy, even more bustling than a vegetable market...

Luo Yihang quickly pressed down with both hands.

He apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry everyone, we're testing the technology and have limited materials. This was Mansour's idea first, so we can only do it for Dubai first. We'll wait until the Dubai Creek banks and the Bend Park are renovated, then you can see the results and make a decision. That way, you'll have a better understanding of the situation..."

There are enough materials, of course, but we can't take them out all at once. Even the best things become worthless if there's too much of them.

The Dubai guests were beaming with pride, showering Mansour with praise once again.

The others are so annoyed, damn it, they always get beaten to it.

The enviousness for the 100 square kilometers of grassland outside Dubai hasn't even subsided yet.

They said they came here to attend some kind of Naadam festival, but secretly you took back a huge grassland, a full 1,300 square kilometers!

It's enough to circle Dubai city. Outside the city is the vast grassland. Who has ever seen it? Nobody has ever seen it.

Now, with peach blossoms and willows in full bloom, and forests filled with flowers... how come all the good things are happening to you?
It's just that Mansur beat him to it and became friends with that young CEO Luo on the other side.

Yes, Mansour belongs to your family, but is Mansour only your family?

He is also our nephew/niece/brother-in-law/brother-in-law...we're practically family.

Their chiefs, royalty, and nobles intermarry with each other.

In short, they're all relatives, so why should they only be close to your family...?

Luo Yihang had no idea that everyone over there had been thinking about so many things in such a short time.

I felt the topic was about to veer off course again.

Pull it back quickly.

The most important thing hasn't been discussed yet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Dubai's natural conditions are indeed quite harsh, and this project is quite large. I have made a simple estimate, and we will need 3920 trees just for the species. In order to prevent any accidents, we will also prepare 30% redundancy, totaling more than 5,000 trees."

"They all need to be shipped from China across the ocean."

"We also need to assume an intelligent water control system, replace the soil, and make modifications."

"While the two new technologies are effective, their costs are indeed quite high."

"so……"

Luo Yihang looked shy and a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid the cost will be around this amount."

Luo Yihang held up two fingers.

The people on the other side jolted.

The representative from the Dubai royal family went even further, shouting, "Two billion!!!"

No, your expectations... Luo Yihang secretly slapped his thigh, realizing he hadn't asked for enough.
