Chapter 658: Boredom after marriage

Chapter 658: Boredom after marriage

Dubai is the second largest emirate among the seven emirates in the UAE. The UAE includes Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.

The UAE is located in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering Saudi Arabia to the west and south, Oman to the east and northeast, the Persian Gulf to the north, and Iran across the sea. It is very rich in oil and natural gas resources.

Some Chinese people mistakenly believe that everyone in Dubai is rich. This misunderstanding may stem from Dubai's image as a luxury tourist destination and the impression that Dubai has many modern facilities such as skyscrapers, luxury hotels and shopping malls.

However, the wealth of the country is mainly concentrated in the hands of a few wealthy people and large enterprises, and not all people in the country have high wealth. The socioeconomic structure of the country is diversified, with wealthy people, middle class and relatively poor people.

"Mom, why don't you move all the products here for display this time!" At the airport, Chen Xi looked at Chen Caiyue.

"Your Uncle Hu said that there are too many equipments and it is difficult to move them, and some of the products have been on the market for several years and others have seen them. Now our production of some models is limited, and we can barely supply domestic goods, so how can we sell them to foreign countries?" Chen Caiyue explained while asking his subordinates to contact the exhibition hall.

Chen Caiyue told Chen Xi not to worry too much about business matters, and instead let him have more fun in Dibaidu.

However, Chen Xi had no leisure time to play. He came here to do business.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your hard work along the way." Hu Jian came over with several employees, followed by Ali and others.

This Di Bairen is a shrewd person. He promised to invest 1 billion yuan, but the money has not been transferred yet.

Chen Xi understood that he wanted to use this exhibition to see the potential of Xinde.

After all, products and brands need to be recognized by the market.

This is also one of the few exhibitions that Xinde has participated in abroad. Although it is under the HK company's brand, everyone knows that this is just a commercial means and the equipment is actually produced in the mainland.

After a few pleasantries, Ali took them to their accommodation.

I have to say that the Dibai people are similar to the Chinese people. They all care a lot about face, so naturally they arranged one of the best hotels in the local area.

Looking at the savvy Middle Eastern man in front of him, Chen Xi couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ali, there should be quite a few companies participating in this exhibition. Do you have any brands that you are optimistic about?"

What Chen Xi meant was, do you have any other partners?

"Haha, there are many companies from all over the world participating in the exhibition this time, but not every brand can be recognized by us at Dibai. We not only want good equipment performance and good post-maintenance services, but also need to examine the character of the company's boss. Some people fail to deliver on their promises, and the impression of such a company in our minds will be lowered..." Ali laughed, and he was referring to Huade, which was headed by Chen Yifeng.

But this was just a superficial statement, and Chen Xi naturally did not take it seriously.

"It seems that Huade is also coming to the exhibition this time. Didn't they invite you to see it?" Chen Caiyue also spoke.

"Of course I've invited you, but it's still up to me whether to go or not." Ali did not express his attitude clearly.

The hotel we stayed at today is Raffles, which is relatively close to the exhibition venue. It has a pyramid-shaped shape, with traditional Middle Eastern architectural style and modern design elements, which is very impressive.

Entering the lobby, a luxurious and warm atmosphere hits you.

The lobby is spacious and bright, decorated with exquisite artworks and delicate fabrics, highlighting the noble quality of the hotel.

"The Burj Khalifa has just been built. We will have our meal there soon!" Harry looked at Chen Xi and Chen Caiyue with a smile, a hint of pride flashing across his face.

Burj Khalifa Tower, also known as the Burj Khalifa Tower, is the tallest building and man-made structure in the world. It is 828 meters high and has a total of 162 floors. It was just completed this year.

Chen Xi still remembered that in his previous life, Chen Yifeng brought him a crystal model of the Burj Khalifa when he went out to discuss business. It was said that the model was not sold outside and was a special gift from a customer.

He also didn't know whether this client was the Harry in front of him.

"Okay, then I'd like to take a good look at it." Chen Caiyue's face showed joy. She liked to see beautiful scenery and exquisite things. When she went out to travel, she also loved to take pictures everywhere with her camera.

"Hey, Mom. We are here for a trade show, not for fun. Don't forget that."

"I know, I know. You're more nagging than my mom." Chen Caiyue reached out and tapped Chen Xi's head gently when Harry turned his head to look elsewhere.

At present, the famous Burj Al Arab Hotel is one of the best hotels in Dubai, but its facilities are a bit old and it is quite a distance from the convention and exhibition center, so Ali did not arrange them there.

Chen Xi stayed at the Sailboat Hotel once.

To be honest, I don't feel that the actual place is as comfortable as advertised on TV, mainly because I don't like the style and the decoration is a bit outdated.

If there is a hotel that best fits one of his favorite styles, it would be the Armani Hotel Dubai.

The Armani Hotel is located on top of the Burj Khalifa, and its view is truly top-notch. Its downside is that it has few guest rooms, making it a little inconvenient to go out.

At this moment, in the shopping mall downstairs of the Armani Hotel.

"Yifeng, which bag do you think is better, this one or this one?" Zhang Xuan waved two new bags in front of Chen Yifeng.

Chen Yifeng was looking at his phone. He looked up and said, "Buy both!"

"My husband is still the best!" Zhang Xuan praised sweetly, and happily asked the salesgirl to take the two bags to bag.

Since getting married, Chen Yifeng has become less concerned about business.

This time he came to Dibai to attend the exhibition, actually he just wanted to bring Zhang Xuan to play, otherwise he would not have come in person at all.

Although Chen Yifeng did not show any abnormality on the surface, he felt a complicated emotion in his heart at this moment.

He felt that something was different after getting married.

The woman in front of him seemed not as attractive to him except that she was younger.

His mind was filled with only thoughts of buying, and after watching it for a long time he felt inexplicably annoyed.

But this feeling of boredom is only mild, not that intense.

To be honest, a subtle sense of regret quietly emerged in his heart.

Although he was remarrying, he was like a young boy before marriage, with great enthusiasm and longing for this belated love.

However, after entering the marriage hall, life seems to inevitably fall into the ordinary track of most people, with a hint of subtle boredom and dullness.

To put it simply, there are two words - tired!

He knew that Xin Delaidi had lost the exhibition this time, and he brought Zhang Xuan here intentionally to show off in front of Chen Caiyue, wanting to tell her that he was living a good life now.

This kind of mentality is also what most people would declare about their past unpleasant emotional experiences.

"Yifeng, I'm hungry, let's go eat." Zhang Xuan took his card and paid the bill before coming closer.

"Okay." Chen Yifeng nodded and was led by the woman out of the luxury store.

Since Hu Jian jumped ship from Huade, he took away a large number of foreign clients, especially those in the Middle East, which made Chen Yifeng urgently need to re-establish a new customer base.

However, the approach he took was similar to hunger marketing. As for the wealthy people in the Middle East, Chen Yifeng felt that he should ship less and increase the price of equipment in order to make big money.

After losing his goods in the Middle East, he no longer trusts the people here, so he ships less just to be on the safe side.

When I came to Debai before, Harry would always welcome me warmly. What happened this time? Was he angry with me because he couldn't get the equipment before?
What's the point of being angry? It's still me who has the final say on whether you can get the goods or not.

When Chen Yifeng thought of the two attitudes of that bearded Di Bai, he sneered in his heart.

"This tower is quite tall!" Chen Caiyue and others came to the foot of the Burj Khalifa, looked up at the building, and couldn't help but express their sincere admiration.

"Of course it was. It cost more than one billion beautiful coins to build, and it's now a landmark building in our Dubai." Harry puffed out his chest with pride once again.

Haha, you didn’t pay to build this tower, why are you so excited?

Chen Xi felt that the bearded man's behavior was a little funny, just like someone from Shanghai showing off by pointing at the Pearl of the Orient.

As the most eye-catching new building in Dubai, the Burj Khalifa has many restaurants and luxury stores.

At.Mosphere restaurant is located on the 122nd floor of the Burj Khalifa and is the highest restaurant in the world. Dining here not only allows you to taste exquisite cuisine, but also enjoy the magnificent view of Dubai.

The next restaurant is Armani, which is related to the Armani Hotel. The restaurant offers a panoramic terrace, where guests can overlook the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall's musical fountains, and enjoy the unobstructed view of the downtown skyline.

Chen Caiyue longed to see the scenery abroad, but Chen Yifeng always used his busy work as an excuse not to accompany her, so she always traveled abroad with her friends.

Chen Yifeng once said that when he is no longer busy, he will travel around the world with Chen Caiyue.

As a result, he never went there until he got divorced, and in his previous life, he traveled around the world alone.

This has always been one of the regrets in Chen Caiyue's heart.

However, she did not expect that this time Chen Yifeng took another woman on a trip abroad. His previous excuses about being busy with work were just excuses.

At.Mosphere restaurant.

"The exhibition is tomorrow. I hope Mr. Chen can have a good start and get more orders."

"Thank you!" Chen Caiyue raised her glass to Harry.

"Excuse me for asking, if Xinde and Huade have fierce business competition in the future, what chances do you think you have of winning?" Harry's question was quite tricky.

Chen Caiyue smiled lightly and replied, “Mr. Harry, in the vast arena of business, competition and cooperation are like the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, natural and inevitable.

Xinde and Huade, both now and in the future, will be two shining stars in this diversified business ecosystem. Competition is like a grindstone that sharpens ourselves, which prompts us to innovate and surpass ourselves. As the boss of Xinde, I not only pursue business success, but also make every employee live a satisfying life.

As for the chances of winning... I think it's just like the waves hitting the shore. It's not that every wave has to compete to be the highest, but that every drop of water converges to create the vastness and depth of the ocean..."

Chen Xi looked at his mother in disbelief. How could such words come out of her mouth?
It is impossible for my mother, who has always been silly, to say such philosophical words.

"Mom, who taught you this?" Chen Xi asked in a low voice in Mandarin.

"I learned it from a TV drama. How about it? Doesn't it give you a sense of class?" Chen Caiyue winked at her son mischievously.

"Yeah, that makes sense." Harry was a little confused and didn't know if it was because Hu Jian next to him didn't translate it well.

At the dinner table, Chen Caiyue and Harry were talking and laughing from time to time, but Chen Xi was in a daze.

He was thinking about one thing now, which was the foreigner he met in the billiard room before.

During the analysis over the past few days, Chen Xi has been wondering where Alex got so much information about him.

Let’s not talk about how he found his own. As for the purchase of Bitcoin, only a few of his close associates knew about it…

Excluding the possibility that someone let the secret slip, there is only one possibility left.

This person found himself through the Internet!

First of all, the virtual currency trading platform keeps its own information.

Secondly, with the Internet so developed nowadays, ordinary people have basically no privacy. There are countless software on a mobile phone that can collect all kinds of user information.

Shit, this guy can’t be from the virtual currency wallet platform.

Then how did he know that I was from the Overseas Chinese Association?

How did you know that I would go play billiards that day?
"Son, Harry asked you how you plan to develop New Germany after you graduate and return home!" Suddenly, his mother's words interrupted his thoughts.

Chen Xi came back to his senses and saw that everyone was staring at him, so he answered seriously: "First, we will develop some new products that Huade doesn't have, and then gradually occupy the Asian market and then expand to Europe!"

"Hahaha, that's a good idea. But I don't know when the new product you mentioned can be developed." Harry raised his glass with a smile.

“There will be new products at our exhibition this time!”

“Oh? Is it a 3D printer?”

"Not exactly. There are also new engraving machines and so on. Of course, there are also some things that have not been mass-produced..." Chen Xi clinked glasses with the other party.

"Oh...Huade has a research institute. When will Xinde's research institute be built?"

"The technical staff is already here. Some are from Ward, and some are recruited from other places. They are just waiting for Mr. Harry's capital injection. I think once the funds are in place, the new products you expect will definitely appear one after another..."

"Haha, you bastard!"

Harry pointed at Chen Xi and laughed.

"The cooperation I talked about with you before will naturally be fulfilled, but you must first perform well at the Disney exhibition. There will be members of the royal family visiting tomorrow, and I hope you will work hard." Harry did not mention the money, but asked them to do their job well first.

Armani restaurant.

"Yifeng, the food here is good, but the scenery is a bit bad. Let's go to At.Mosphere tomorrow. I heard that it is the tallest restaurant in the world." Zhang Xuan cut the steak on the plate a little clumsily. Her dining movements seemed a little uncoordinated in this stylish restaurant.

Coming from a poor family, this was her first time traveling abroad and also her first time to a high-end restaurant abroad.

She seldom eats Western food, and she tried her best to imitate the actions of the people around her, but it looked a little funny.

Chen Yifeng looked at the woman in front of him. If they had just started dating, he might have thought her behavior was cute.

But now that I’m married, I feel uncomfortable watching this scene.

Well, compared to my ex-wife, who was born into a noble family and had elegant dining etiquette, the woman in front of me...

Thinking back to the first time he had Western food, it seemed that it was Chen Caiyue who taught him.

Chen Yifeng felt mixed emotions at this moment.

When a poor man suddenly becomes rich, he will probably feel disdain when he sees people who are just like him. (End of this chapter)
