Chapter 808 Notes

"When the plane takes off, you may feel a little uncomfortable in your ears. I have gummies here. You can chew them when you feel uncomfortable. It can relieve the pressure on the eardrums." Guo Xiang finished and passed a few candies.

"Thank you sister-in-law." Zhang Ling took the candy.

When Feng Hai heard that he was obviously very experienced, he was still showing off in front of her, and his ears turned red.

"How long does it take to go to Hong Kong City?" Zhang Ling asked again.

"About four hours, you can close your eyes and rest for a while." Guo Xiang said.

"How long does it take to get from Hong Kong to Riyadh?" Zhang Ling asked again.

"About ten hours, it's a bit long, but you can sleep, and you'll be there after a nap. There are also in-flight meals on the plane, so don't worry about starving you." Guo Xiang smiled.

Zhang Ling was a little embarrassed, "I'm not worried about this..."

Guo Xiang smiled, "You have more opportunities to go abroad after you are in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Pay more attention, and you will have experience in the future."

"Yes!" Zhang Ling nodded.

Guo Xiang turned back and took a look at the magazine in front of him.

Four hours later, I arrived at Hong Kong City Airport, transferred at Hong Kong City Airport, and waited for another three hours before finally getting on the flight to Riyadh.

Because the tickets are uniformly booked, they are all economic warehouses.

This time, Zhang Ling changed seats with others and moved to Guo Xiang's side, because she felt that Guo Xiang knew a lot and had a good sense of security around her.

Since it was a connecting flight, we got on the plane at about 8 p.m. this time. Everyone had eaten at the Hong Kong City Airport, so there was no meal provided on the plane, but there were drinks.

Zhang Ling sat next to Guo Xiang and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, it's my first time to go to a Middle East country, and I'm a little nervous. What do you think should be paid attention to?"

"Didn't your leader Qian say everything just now?" Guo Xiang smiled.

"What he said is so general, it's almost as if he didn't say anything." Zhang Ling pouted.

Guo Xiang nodded, "The Saudi Arabia we went to this time is an Arab country, they are Mu Zhilin, and there are still many rules."

"For example, women don't shake hands with men,

Men should pay attention to this, do not take the initiative to shake hands with women. "Speaking of this, Guo Xiang touched Gu Zhennan, he nodded, and expressed his understanding, but his character, even in China, would hardly shake hands with women.

"It doesn't matter if you are a girl, but be careful not to take pictures of their women when taking pictures." Guo Xiang said to Zhang Ling, "If you have time to play at that time, you should also ask clearly which places are not allowed to take pictures. Be careful."

"Also, they respect the right, and even when entering the door, they have to step on the right foot first. For example, when eating, receiving business cards, and receiving gifts, they must use the right hand. If they use the left hand, they will think it is disrespectful."

"Of course we stayed in a hotel and didn't go to other people's houses, so it shouldn't matter. If we go to temples and other places to play, we should pay attention. Not only do we have to take off our shoes when entering the door with the right foot, but women must wear a headscarf or a robe to enter." Guo Xiang said.

"So troublesome? Then we won't go to the temple to play, and I don't know if I have time to play this time." Zhang Ling said.

Guo Xiang continued: "Many Arab countries prohibit alcohol, even if there are drinking places, you should pay attention. In our country, you often clink glasses and toast, they are not allowed, and the same is true for tea, don't think this is common sense, many Nobody understands."

Zhang Ling nodded, "If you don't tell me, I really don't know, I think many people don't know, right? We think it's normal to clink glasses, how can we expect so much? Fortunately, I asked my sister-in-law, if it's possible, I'm going to make a mistake. "

Feng Hai in the back was very surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect this woman to know so much? Did she go?

"In short, be careful about everything, don't try things you don't know easily," Guo Xiang said.

"Well, I will pay attention." Zhang Ling nodded.

"By the way, sister-in-law, I heard that it's still summer in Saudi Arabia. I brought summer clothes and a small suit jacket, okay?" Zhang Ling asked.

"Yes, not only is it summer now, it should be said that it is all year round. Their country has a tropical desert climate, even the coldest January is ten or twenty degrees, and there is no winter." Guo Xiang said.

"So it's like this?" Zhang Ling suddenly realized, "No wonder the leader of the team told us to wear only one winter coat. Don't bring too much, it's really a burden to bring too much."

"The climate over there is very dry and the sun is very strong. You should pay attention to keeping warm and sunscreen. Have you brought sunscreen?" Guo Xiang asked.

"Ah? No, I only brought face cream, I just want to put it on my face." Zhang Ling said, the leader of the Qian team naturally wouldn't talk about these small details.

"I brought two, and I'll get one for you when I get off the plane. You also have to put on make-up when doing translation work. This is a courtesy to people, just put on light makeup." Guo Xiang said.

"Well, I thought of this." Zhang Ling nodded. After all, it was someone who had been to the United States who had learned a little about makeup.

"I heard that we are mainly participating in the bidding of oil fields this time. I also learned a lot of oil-related terms temporarily. If my sister-in-law does not understand, I will ask you." Zhang Ling said.

"Okay!" Guo Xiang nodded, and Zhang Ling was eager to learn and would naturally teach her.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that they have a lot of oil? It's everywhere?" Zhang Ling asked again.

"Yes, very many, especially Saudi Arabia, which accounts for almost a quarter of the world's oil reserves, ranking first in the world. Along with oil and natural gas, the reserves are also the fourth in the world, and they are very rich."

"Why? Why is the oil in their country?" Zhang Ling was puzzled.

"This is caused by the geological environment. You don't know the formation of oil, so you don't know. Let me tell you briefly." Guo Xiang said.

The people on the side pricked up their ears when they heard Guo Xiang's eloquent words.

"The oil is mainly formed by the transformation of prehistoric marine animal and algal carcasses, which have been buried under thick sedimentary rocks after a long period of geological age and siltation mixed."

"They are gradually transformed under high temperature and pressure underground to form waxy oil shale, which later degenerates into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons, which are oil and gas."

"Most of Saudi Arabia's territory is desert and a small part is ocean. In fact, deserts may have been oceans before, but after crustal movement, sea level rises, sea water retreats, and then strong evaporation slowly forms deserts, so the following are all Oil, can you say that there is not much?" Guo Xiang said.

"Sister-in-law, how do you know this?" Zhang Ling was surprised, didn't she study medicine?

"My mother is a teacher at the University of Petroleum. I have read these books since I was a child, so I know it. Now that your cousin is engaged in this industry, he naturally knows more." Guo Xiang smiled.

"Sister-in-law, you are amazing!" Zhang Ling couldn't help but sigh, she couldn't even learn a foreign language by herself. Sister-in-law really knows everything.
