Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

There are seven small emirates in the United Arab Emirates.

More or less, there is a certain amount of oil.

Coincidentally, Di City has the least amount of oil resources, ranking last among the seven emirates.

The other six tribes made a lot of money by relying on oil resources, which led to the better development of the entire tribe.

Rapidly moving towards a modern city.

Only Di City has always maintained its original appearance.

Apart from the King's Hotel, there is nothing else in the country that has anything to do with modernity.

Chief Qian Mustafa saw an opportunity for development in Lin Kaifeng.

Invite Northern Machinery Company to open various types of home appliance production plants in Dicheng to find a sustainable development method for the tribe.

Chief Mustafa is willing to give Lin Kaifeng the title of royal exclusive enterprise.

Technology and production line provided by Lin Kaifeng.

Chief Mustafa was in charge of acting as a salesman, selling electrical appliances to the other six tribes in the country.

At the same time, through the influence of the Emirate, the electrical appliance business territory will be expanded little by little.

Sell ​​to other oil-producing countries.

"Your Highness, I am very interested in your proposal, but..."

Lin Kaifeng hesitated to speak, looking embarrassed.

"Don't be fussy, just tell me if you have any problems, and I will solve them as soon as possible."

The more Chief Mustafa thought about it, the more he thought the idea was feasible.

Signaled Lin Kaifeng to speak out his concerns.

The Dicheng royal family provided land, employees, and tax breaks.

Lin Kaifeng paid a certain number of shares and provided production technology and equipment.

Lin Kaifeng sighed and said, "As far as I know, Dicheng was just a small tribe before the large-scale discovery of oil."

"Before the 1960s, people made a living by fishing..."

"Humph!"

Before Lin Kaifeng could continue speaking, Chief Mustafa's face darkened.

Lin Kaifeng is telling the truth.

Chief Mustafa was unhappy because it was the truth.

Before the large-scale discovery of oil in the United Arab Emirates, the several small tribes that made up the emirate had been living a hard life of herding cattle and horses.

Compared with other tribes, the situation in Dicheng is even worse.

There are no grasslands and no fertile arable land.

Due to its proximity to the sea, generations have been engaged in fishing.

It took only twenty years for the impoverished fishing village tribe to become oil-rich.

In twenty years, the royal family of Dicheng has accumulated huge wealth.

However, the domestic infrastructure is still as old as it was back then.

There is only one power station in the whole of Dubai.

Electricity is available for only three to four hours a day.

Not only is the electricity supply to residents not guaranteed, but the royal family also has to face power outages at all times.

The only hotel with a large generator is the Kingdom Hotel.

Can ensure no power outage at all times.

Lin Kaifeng said meaningfully: "I can persuade the relevant person in charge of the company to invest and build a factory in Dicheng, but has His Highness the Chief considered a problem?"

"No matter what type of factory, if you want to ensure production, you must first solve the problem of power supply. Can your country's power supply be guaranteed?"

"I...I will immediately issue an order to build a large number of power plants to completely solve the problem of power shortage."

Chief Mustafa said.

"Your Highness the Chief has great ambitions and is trying to change the backward situation of your country. I admire you very much. However, to comprehensively change the backward situation of Di City, building a power station is the most basic work."

Lin Kaifeng shook his head and said, "Excuse me, Di City is not suitable for the development of heavy industry."

Hearing this, Chief Mustafa retorted unconvincedly: "Why can't our Di City develop heavy industry?"

"I will find a way to solve the problem of the lack of supporting facilities for the development of heavy industry. As long as you are willing to invest, Dicheng will definitely be able to develop a large-scale electrical appliance manufacturing industry."

"Your Highness, calm down. You misunderstood me. I didn't say that you can't develop heavy industry. Instead, I think that instead of focusing on developing heavy industry, why don't you take advantage of your inherent advantages?"

Lin Kaifeng explained his ideas slowly and calmly.

Just like what he just said, Western countries have their own advantages in the field of automobile manufacturing.

The Dragon Kingdom also has its own strengths.

Dicheng also has the characteristics of Dicheng.

“What are our characteristics?”

Chief Mustafa said hurriedly.

"Your country is adjacent to the sea and has unique natural scenery. If His Highness the Chief wants to develop your city, heavy industry is not the only option."

"Tourism, finance, business and trade can also bring a lot of external funds to Dicheng."

"Once we decide to develop heavy industry, it will inevitably damage the natural environment here. If we want to carry out systematic industrial development, we need a large number of workers who have received a certain level of education to participate."

“Illiterate or semi-literate people can only do the simplest jobs and cannot be responsible for core production lines.”

Lin Kaifeng gave a simple analogy.

CNC machine tools are gradually replacing old machine tools and becoming the new industrial mother machines.

How many people in Dicheng have completed junior high school education and how many have completed high school education?

How many college students are there in the entire Dicheng Emirate?

How many people understand the operation of CNC machine tools?

How many workers have been engaged in production and manufacturing?

Every question Lin Kaifeng asked was like a bullet hitting Chief Mustafa's heart.

Twenty years ago, Dicheng was just a poor and backward fishing village.

Of the more than two million people living here, 90 percent are illiterate.

"There are many countries in the world that try to strengthen their national strength and improve their backward economic situation by developing industry, but how many of them have truly completed industrial transformation and transformed from agricultural countries to industrial countries?"

“Whether or not we can transform from an agricultural country into an industrial country does not depend on how much equipment we import or how many factories we open. The prerequisite is to vigorously develop education.”

Lin Kaifeng said earnestly: "Machine tools are the mother machines for producing industrial products, and education is the cornerstone of industrial development."

Chief Mustafa sat back on the golden chair in despair and said weakly: "What you said is too harsh. If a citizen of our country dares to speak to me like this, I will definitely throw him into prison."

"But even though it sounds harsh, what you said is true."

"Our country's education is too backward..."

At this moment, Chief Mustafa completely gave up the idea of ​​developing heavy industry.

Chief Mustafa tried to change Di City, not to benefit the people, nor to be a wise ruler.

But think about your own descendants.

Chief Mustafa, who is 32 years old this year, already has nine children.

He can let his son continue to live a superior life.

But what about grandchildren and great-grandchildren?

When it comes to oil resources, the United Arab Emirates ranks eighth in the world.

Within the emirate, Di City ranks last in terms of oil resources.

Mustafa, who went to study in the West, knows very well the principle of living beyond one's means.

There are no sustainable development resources.

Within 20 to 30 years.

The wealth accumulated by the royal family through oil will inevitably be exhausted.

How can we make the wealth continue and how can we make Dicheng gain more wealth.

This is what Chief Mustafa cares about.
