Chapter 667: The Reality of Dubai
I have to admit that the laws and customs in Dubai are quite favorable to men.
After hearing this, Jiang Hai had some thoughts about joining here, but he quickly rejected it. He could only eat beef and mutton, and Jiang Hai couldn't stand it. He was just joking and wouldn't let him eat pork. It will be painful to death.
The restaurant on the top floor of the Burj Al Arab Hotel is called Skyview Bar. The Burj Al Arab Hotel is not the Burj Khalifa. This hotel is only 200 meters high, which is not particularly high. After taking the elevator up, Jiang Hai and Dufamen also had a delicious meal.
When sending Jiang Hai back, Dufamen specifically asked Jiang Hai if he needed to call those girls back in the evening. Also, the time to go to the ranch should be scheduled three days later, because a trip to the ranch would It would take two days, and he would take advantage of these days to unload the work of these two days. During the next three days when Jiang Hai stayed here, he could not accompany Jiang Hai, so he asked Jiang Hai if he needed anything. .
Forget about women, Jiang Hai, his legs and feet are still a little weak now. As for the request, Jiang Hai wants a car.
Of course, this is not to ask him to give him a car, but they are going to go out and have a look these days. It is much more convenient to have a car.
Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Dufamen naturally had nothing to say and agreed completely. After sending Jiang Hai and Azarina back to the villa, he left, and Jiang Hai and Azarina also They sleep in separate rooms, which is what Azarina requested.
Although she can hand over her body to Jiang Hai at any time, she is on a mission now and she has to protect Jiang Hai's safety, so she cannot lose concentration or lose focus even for a minute or a second. It's because of his poor health, so if Jiang Hai wants it, he can wait until he returns to Winthrop. If he's not in Winthrop, Azali won't feel that it's safer around here.
Early the next morning, when Jiang Hai and Azarina got up, they discovered that there was an extra sports car in front of the villa.
This was exactly what Dufamen sent to Jiang Hai for transportation. But looking at this sports car, Jiang Hai couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head. He just wanted to find a means of transportation, but it seemed that Dufamen thought too much. It’s not like you’re going out to show off, so why do you get such a good car?
Bugatti Veyron is a famous French sports car brand. Jiang Hai didn’t mention any data to make up the number of words. You can find it online.
The price in China is 25 million soft sister coins. Of course, even so, this car is rare in China. But for a wealthy man like Dufamen, this is just a car, nothing more, just a gift. To travel for Jiang Hai.
Although he shook his head with a wry smile, Jiang Hai had no idea of changing to an ordinary car. Although it was not his first time riding a supercar, it was his first time driving it. After sitting firmly with Azarina, , Jiang Hai rushed towards Dubai.
To be honest, Dubai is not a small place and there are many places to play. Jiang Hai did not encounter anything bad, so the three days passed quite quickly.
In the past three days, he also learned something about Dubai. Of course, it was not as scary as the legends he had heard in China before.
Jiang Hai had heard in the past that when visiting Dubai, he would often meet some wealthy people. Some beautiful girls would smile when they went out and give them an LV bag. Or if they went to the desert and met a local, they would have a great time chatting with them. , I received a sports car or something like that the next day...
Jiang Hai told everyone responsibly that this was all nonsense, and they might actually give it away, but the purpose of these people was obviously impure.
Men give women things just because they want to be with this woman, haha, and bags and cars are top-notch things.
There are also buildings here, communities piled up on the sea, revolving buildings with different window angles, palace-like hotels, they are all here, including those under construction, but most of these things are It just looks good.
At least in the eyes of pragmatists like Jiang Hai, these things are actually of little use, and the most important thing is that Dubai's tourism development now seems to be a failure because there are too many unfinished buildings near the city. Many of them were built by developers from China. I heard that in the summer in Dubai, the hottest temperature can reach 50 degrees, and many construction workers are killed by the sun every year.
I really don’t know if it is necessary for them to make this kind of money, and this money seems so cheap to locals...
As for luxury cars in Dubai, there are some, but not as many as imagined, especially when on the road.
The wealthy people in Dubai are rich. They have more than one car. Just like what Jiang Hai learned when he was in the United States, each car has its own function.
In Dubai, sports cars and the like are the cars you drive when you go out for fun in the evening, and you mainly use scooters when you go to work.
Jiang Hai did see the Lamborghini police car, but there were only a few of them. But even so, most of the police cars here are worth more than one million soft sister coins. They are really extremely luxurious. This How painful would it be if you shaved it off?
There is also the legendary pet raised by the wealthy people in Dubai. There are indeed tigers, lions, leopards and the like. Just like Dufampen, he said that he has raised a lot of these beasts, but these beasts are all from his childhood. Brought from Africa.
Because he has a nature reserve in Africa. He paid for the construction of this nature reserve. Apart from him, no one is allowed to enter here for poaching or the like. He will also hire local people as rangers and give them money and Top of the line equipment.
Although this is somewhat undesirable, the local government in Africa still welcomes such rich people.
After all, how many kills can he kill by himself? And now he has protected these animals and solved the problems of people's livelihood and employees. Compared with its disadvantages, the benefits are much more. However, this is Dufarmen, and other people do not have such good benefits.
When they buy pets, they can only buy them in pet stores. In fact, it can also be called the black market...
There are two main types of pets that most people keep, peacocks and camels, and there are indeed very few such as lions and tigers.
Jiang Hai also asked about it. A lion costs US$50,000 for a male lion, US$30,000 for a female lion, US$10,000 to US$20,000 for a small lion, US$80,000 for a white lion, and US$80,000 for a tiger. The price is about the same as that of lions, and leopards are even cheaper than them.
To be honest, Jiang Hai is quite interested in these beasts, but unfortunately, he can't take them back if he buys them here...
So in the end he could only sigh. It seemed that he had no chance with these beasts, but there seemed to be a den of mountain lions in his manor.
In these days, he also heard some things about the humanities here. The contradiction between locals and outsiders here is quite big.
The wages for locals are quite high, the work intensity is quite low, and the difficulty is almost non-existent. But for foreigners here, the work intensity is high, the wages are much lower than that of locals, and there is no guarantee. Even when a local is working, If he skips work to go out to play or eat out, as long as he clocks in and clocks in as usual, he will not be fired, even if he sleeps at work.
But foreigners will be expelled if they don't go their way at all. They worry not about scarcity but about inequality. This is the situation here now.
When it comes to medical treatment and schooling, locals take advantage of it. When locals go to public hospitals to see a doctor, in addition to the registration fee, there are also some medical equipment, such as gauze, which costs money, and all the remaining medicines. Surgery fees, etc., are all free.
It doesn't cost anything, even eating in the hospital at noon doesn't cost anything. This is the advantage of the locals. But the locals have a lot of money, so they are more willing to spend money to go to private hospitals for medical treatment. The same goes for school. In public schools, teachers Local students are pretty good.
Because a local in Dubai can marry four wives, and you don’t know which big family he is related to.
Moreover, the people here in Dubai are quite unreasonable. They go to the extreme to help their parents but not to take care of them. If his child does not do well in the exam, this is your responsibility as a teacher. If you do not teach well, you will be dismissed with just one phone call. Leave.
If his child is making trouble, talking in class, breaking things, etc., it is still your responsibility as the teacher, just give him a call and get out.
If his child gets into a fight at school, it's fine if he wins, but if he loses, it's also your responsibility as a teacher. Why don't you grab another child and let his child beat him! This is still your responsibility, so pack up and leave.
So in Dubai, basically only local teachers dare to teach local students. Foreign teachers mostly stay in schools such as foreign language colleges. They don’t dare to have any special ideas about these local children, or even They will actively help these people cheat during exams, just to get good grades, but some children are too lazy to even cheat.
The teacher also has to help him write answers and then change the scores. This can be said to be the most depressing place for a teacher in the world.
In the past few days, wherever Jiang Hai went, he would hear about the conflicts between locals and outsiders, but Jiang Hai just smiled.
These things have nothing to do with him, and he is unwilling to interfere. He believes that Dufamen and others know these things, and since they know that they still let the people be like this, they must have their own ideas.
To put it in the simplest terms, their power is given to them by the people of Dubai. If there is chaos, the source is the local people of Dubai.
No matter how bad your life is as a foreigner in Dubai, if you don’t want to stay you can leave. Who is stopping you? If you want to rebel, then their suppression will be based on their reputation. As long as the locals don't blow up the temple, it doesn't matter what the foreigners do.
It can be said that the basis of their rule is these local people. A bowl of water that is flat does not exist here at all.
But even so, there is still an influx of foreigners in Dubai, because their wages and benefits are much less than those of locals in Dubai, but there is one thing they cannot avoid.
Even though there are far fewer locals here than here, compared with their lives in their respective countries, they are much more generous.
For example, for Chinese people, in China, an IT staff in his thirties, even if he is a department manager, can earn between 500,000 and 1 million a year. However, for the same position, he can earn more in Dubai. The income can reach 5 million to 10 million. The environment for medical treatment here is better. Although the money spent is more than the locals, it is much less than at home. The education is also much better than at home. The environment Although it is hot, it is much better than the country in terms of economy and people's livelihood, better than any other city in the country.
Whether it is food, housing, transportation, medical care, education, people's livelihood, economy, etc., all aspects are better than those in China, so even if there is inequality, they will still come over. This is the reality! Except for a few small countries, most of the welfare in Europe is not as good as here.
So there is nothing to say. If it is not equal, let it be equal. If it is not equal, they will come and make money, because this is reality.
In three days, Jiang Hai got to know something about this place and at the same time, he also bought a lot of things. Basically, they were bags and clothes from major famous brands. There was also a lot of gold, quite a lot of gold. , most of these things, he sent back to Winthrop.
Some others stayed with me, because these were things that I would give away when I returned home, such as Qi Li’s, Feng Yunchen’s, Ai Xiaoxi’s, and Qi Li’s mother’s, in addition to the things I might run into after returning to China. Bernice's, Xiaoya's, Darlene's, and Marianne's.
As for Azarina, this is considered a first-come-first-served basis. Jiang Hai bought her several outfits, but she sent them all back to Winthrop. The prices of luxury goods here are indeed higher than those in New York. Much cheaper.
Three days passed in an instant. On the morning of the fifth day after Jiang Hai came to Dubai, Dufamen, who had disappeared for three days, reappeared.
This time he still brought a fleet of vehicles, a total of twelve vehicles, but they were no longer Rolls-Royces for rich people, but all were replaced by off-road vehicles, eleven out-of-print Hummer H2s. The best SUV in the world, it’s not easy to see so many of them now.
In addition, there is a battle shield that Jiang Hai is very familiar with!
"You also got a car like this?" Touching the door of the car, Jiang Hai said to Dufamen with some nostalgia.
"I think you're pretty good at it. I got one after I came back." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Dufamen said with a smile.
Hearing his words, Jiang Hai curled his lips and bought one because he saw that he was driving well. Hey, when will he be so good?
After watching the convoy, Jiang Hai and the others didn't say much nonsense, because the place they were going to was quite far away. After getting in the car, the convoy drove out of the city limits of Dubai and headed towards the desert.
