Chapter 21 20

I can't fail to satisfy the chief of Kalaland, singing with ecstasy.The rush of the showers muffled the old Rolling Stones.Karalan is a small island nation off the coast of Saudi Arabia.But Yakara rinsed the lather from my thick black hair, turned off the tap, and dried myself.Headphones Rick.Jaeger's singing is still deafening.Yakara turned off the switch and put on a delicate gray and black Armani suit.The waistband is slightly discounted, and the upper body is a white shirt with a white and pink tie.After getting dressed, he walked out of the bedroom and walked to the dining room.His mother had prepared breakfast and was waiting for him.

It would be an exaggeration to call the place where his parents lived a palace.There were only fifteen rooms in all, plus a few side rooms.Yakara knew very well that this was quite a luxury.Anyway, there must be some advantages to being a chief!Compared with other Arabian sheikhs, he lived quite austerely.He owns a Porsche and a Bugatti, as well as a Ferrari, which isn't particularly polished. It's not lack of money that keeps him from spending as much money as other chiefs!Three years ago, just after his twenty-third birthday, his father passed away.He became the youngest chief in the world, no matter what the value of the chief.He had to interrupt his studies in international management at Harvard University to come back to take over the responsibility of this small island country.Karaland is a small country with a population of only 30,000.Whenever he introduced himself to clients, their eyes widened in amazement.They had never heard of such a chief.Yakara thinks this is the best.Let other chiefs worry about international politics!

Karalan is just a bunch of barren stone heaps in the Persian Gulf.There is neither oil nor other natural resources.There were only a dozen palm trees on the island before Yakara's grandfather built an ornate garden in the center of the island.Now that Kalaland is in the middle of the oil-exporting nation, the Yakara family learned early on to take a share of the wealth of neighboring emirates. That started when his great-grandfather imported oil pumps from the United States.Later, great-grandfather built the first oil refinery and oil fleet in the Gulf region on the island.Small fishing ports were converted into ports capable of accommodating large tankers.With the rapid development of the oil transportation industry and the increasingly fierce competition, his father immediately changed the direction of his business and turned to providing daily luxury items for Arab sheikhs, such as ultra-luxury Porsches, private jets and luxury yachts.After a period of time, this kind of business was no longer as profitable as before, so my father began to invest abroad.Through an American partnership, my father was already one of the shareholders of Netscape and Google long before they went public.

Yakara carried on the tradition of her father.Not long ago, he participated in the investment of a small software company in Hamburg.That company was also invested by the most important computer company in the world, and was worth an astonishingly high price.He thought the company's name, Dinar, sounded like a good grandmother.He is not very clear about the company's detailed business, but it is related to the new type of artificial intelligence.If the investment consulting company's assessment of that company is correct, a fraction of future profits can even be used to acquire Google.This type of investment is risky, but past facts have proved that Yakara has a good sense of smell and can sense which companies are likely to generate profits.There is no doubt that he got his talent from his father.

If his calculations are correct, Karaland's per capita income has ranked third among the world's richest countries in recent years. For Yakara, money is nothing more than a measure of his business skills.His wealth was far beyond what was needed.Sometimes, he misses the time when he lived in a small student dormitory at Harvard and had no personal service.At that time, he could go in and out of the tavern with his friends like everyone else, and no one called him His Excellency or bowed to him. Complaining is useless, though.He has to take responsibility for this small country and its citizens, and he will not evade this responsibility.

He walked into the restaurant, and his mother looked at him with a smile on her face.As a famous former Bollywood actor, her mother has participated in the shooting of countless colorful love movies, and she is still beautiful and moving.Good morning, Akara! Good morning, mother!He sat down beside his mother and grabbed a French croissant.It was freshly baked by the cook according to the authentic recipe brought back from France, using the ingredients brought back from Paris. Are you ready for the Riyadh summit?Mother used to ask political questions at the breakfast table.She was used to it when her father was alive.She never issued any advice, only questions, but they were always clever questions, which often gave Dad new ideas or led his thoughts in the right direction.

Yakara bristled at the thought that in most Arab countries women's talents were trampled rather than used.He couldn't imagine that the people in power in many countries enjoy the technology of Western countries comfortably, but at the same time keep their country in the dark Middle Ages, for example: the hands of the thief are cut off, women are forbidden to receive education, and there is no man. When accompanied, women are not even allowed to go to the streets alone. There are two weeks left!Besides, no one is interested in my opinion.I am so young, and many neighboring countries think that I am not a believer in Allah.Karaland played little role in international affairs.Our annual national economy is less than three days worth of Kuwait.Callalan was too small.I don't understand why they invited me to this meeting.

Do you think it's just a coincidence? We are also a full member of the Arab League.Even so, what can a little chief like me do with world powers? Mother looked at him with wise eyes.Do you have to do something? Akara shrugged.I don't know, should I do something? Mother laughed.you are so young.The summit meeting is a wonderful learning opportunity for you.Perhaps this summit will indeed forge new international relations.Regardless, you have a big advantage over the other attendees. Advantage?What advantage? The attendees are hostile to each other, aren't they? Oh, that's right!The new president of the United States is really capable of inviting Iranians and Israelis to a table!

What about us?Who is our enemy at this table?Mother looked at him quietly from the edge of the teacup she was holding. Akara thought for a moment.No, we have no enemies.For three hundred years, Karaland has never been involved in any disputes, and even Hussein is not interested in us.His face brightened.You are right!Come to think of it, really, I might be the only leader at the summit who didn't make any enemies!He looked at his mother in amazement. Didn't you say that I should take on the coordinating function?But the Secretary-General of the United Nations is also there, and Mother laughed again.It's up to you to decide what kind of role you want to play.
