Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 410: Saudi Future City

"That’s fine too. As long as the price is within fifty million riyals, I can decide on my end. I’ll arrange for someone to help you connect with the Saudi transportation department."

Kasim just needed an excuse on his side. The reason Chen Yiyang provided was indeed good; Saudi Arabia is definitely willing to spend when it comes to maintaining appearances.

Especially when it comes to high-tech items, Saudi Arabia is particularly fond of them. Since the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia took office, he has been seeking high-tech transformation for Saudi Arabia, attracting international tech companies to Saudi Arabia.

"By the way." Kasim said after Chen Yiyang finished stating all his requests, "The Crown Prince has gifted you a two-story commercial building at Jeddah Port. A designated official will contact you later; you can proceed with the formalities directly."

"And also." Kasim took out a box.

"These are some jewelry, a gift from the Crown Prince for returning the diamond, valued at around ten million US dollars."

"Thank the Crown Prince sincerely," Chen Yiyang genuinely thanked.

The benefits given by the Crown Prince here are basically equivalent to the value of the Blue Diamond.

Subsequently, Chen Yiyang can leverage his relationship with the Saudi royal family to engage in other business activities in Saudi Arabia.

Considering this, returning the Blue Diamond to the Saudi royal family is more advantageous than directly selling it.

"By the way."

After chatting with Kasim for a while, Kasim proactively said, "I heard you are a renowned investor who has invested in many successful ventures."

"Just lucky," Chen Yiyang hurriedly humbled himself.

"Would you be interested in investing in our Saudi Future City?" Kasim said enthusiastically, "Our Saudi Future City is about to be completed. Many celebrities and wealthy people will be invited to reside in Future City, and numerous business activities will be conducted there.

"Considering you are a renowned investor, we in Saudi Arabia would be willing to allow you to invest in a commercial plaza within Future City."

Chen Yiyang had already discussed the benefits gained from returning the Blue Diamond to the royal family.

Now, the words from Kasim purely pertained to commercial collaboration.

"I’m not very familiar with Saudi Future City," Chen Yiyang cautiously replied to Kasim.

"I can show you our promotional video," Kasim seemed well-prepared.

He took out a tablet and played a promotional video for Chen Yiyang.

Chen Yiyang was very impressed after watching it.

If the content of the video could really be realized, it could indeed be called Future City and would definitely be the most technologically advanced city in the world.

But the premise is feasibility.

In this promotional video, Saudi Arabia announced that their Future City would stretch for 170 kilometers, but only be 200 meters wide.

The entire city’s sides would be wrapped in mirrored facade walls as high as 500 meters, containing residential areas, commercial zones, office spaces, schools, and parks, enough to house about nine million people.

This city can simply be understood as drawing a thick line across the desert of Saudi Arabia, a line that crosses the coast, desert, mountains, valleys, and various terrains, then using this line to build a city.

Overall, it’s somewhat similar to the ancient Huaxia construction of the Great Wall.

But while the Huaxia Great Wall is a defensive wall, this is purely a city for living.

The whole city is vertically divided into three parts: on the surface is a complete walking and living area, with no roads and cars. Numerous trees will be planted along the paths and gardens will be set up.

The second level is the commercial space and service area, which includes the commercial plaza promised to Chen Yiyang by Kasim. Residents living in Future City need only go down from the residential area to reach this place.

The third level is the lowest part of the city, the backbone structure of this linear city, the area for transporting goods and passenger movements. A high-speed transportation system, similar to high-speed rail, will allow people to reach any point in the city within 20 minutes.

The reason for building Saudi Future City in such a straight line.

On one hand, this approach eliminates the need for roads and motor vehicle systems, and public transportation alone would suffice for all traveling needs.

On the other hand, Saudi Arabia’s resources are scarce; this building method can conserve resources.

Saudi Future City blueprint.

"The promotional video says the city can be completed by 2030, which isn’t too far off from now," Chen Yiyang cautiously questioned.

He instinctively felt that the project wasn’t very reliable.

But upon further thought, maybe Saudi Arabia could just make it happen with money like many ancient wonders were created.

"To be precise, the first phase will be completed before 2030."

Kasim said, "The first phase will construct a small section of trial city as a prototype. Oh, this grand project has sought construction companies from your country to build it.

Since your compatriots in Huaxia can build the Great Wall, I believe they can also construct such a Future City in Saudi Arabia."

Originally, Chen Yiyang felt this wasn’t very reliable. But now, hearing domestic construction units are involved, he was hesitant.

"Here’s what I’ll do." Seeing Chen Yiyang still undecided, Kasim said, "I’ll send you the entire project plan later for you to study. If you’re willing to invest, come find me."

"Thank you then," Chen Yiyang said quickly.

"Remember not to forget to attend the Crown Prince’s banquet," Kasim reminded before seeing Chen Yiyang off.

Back at the hotel suite, Chen Yiyang placed the box of jewelry from Kasim in front of the little accountant.

"Pick a few; I’ll be attending the Crown Prince’s banquet in a few days. You’ll be my date."

"I thought you were going to give them all to me," the little accountant said as she randomly picked a cat’s eye gem to admire.

"Aren’t you not interested in jewelry?"

"Women instinctively love shiny things. Besides, if these jewels were sold, imagine all the delicious food you could buy,"

The little accountant held a gemstone up to her eye and looked at Chen Yiyang through it.

"Then, until I sell these jewelry pieces, would you like to borrow them to wear?"

"I am going to die of frustration," the little accountant jokingly made a choking gesture.

"Alright, alright," Chen Yiyang said helplessly, "These jewels can be given to you, but on one condition: I’ll give them to you as part of your dowry when you get married."

"I might never get married in this lifetime, so why not keep these jewels as heirlooms?"

The little accountant’s cheeks puffed up angrily.

Chen Yiyang found it adorable and reached out to pinch them twice, which prompted the little accountant to angrily remove her prosthetic leg and hop around on one leg chasing Chen Yiyang.
