Chapter 289 Needs to Study

“Congratulations, Mr. Coy, no, the venerable Councilor Coy.”

“Haha, thank you for your congratulations, Your Highness the Duke, thank you very much Help me."

Just yesterday, the founder of the "Imperial Shield" military company had sold the company to Barron, and Melvin Coy, who returned to his hometown, was successfully elected to Scotland. Member of Parliament.

So Barron called him to congratulate him.

From the phone call, Barron also discovered a very interesting thing, that is, Melvin Coy's Highland accent became more and more... authentic.

This time elected as a member of Parliament, Melvin Coe participated in the Scottish Parliament by-election and succeeded.

Scottish Parliamentary elections are usually held every four years, and just last year they were held.

Normally, if he wants to be elected as a member of the Scottish Parliament, he needs to wait until 2007...

However, during this period, some members will resign due to various reasons. Therefore, by-elections will be held to determine the qualifications of these MPs.

Melvin Coe held this by-election because three of the 129 members of the Scottish Parliament had resigned by May this year.

He became a Member of Parliament representing the Lothian region.

In this by-election, Barron also provided great help to Melvin Coy.

For example, independent newspapers in Scotland have been cheering for Melvin Coe and promoting his inspiring deeds.

Melvin Coe is participating in this by-election on behalf of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, who are the third largest party after Labor and the Scottish National Party (SNP).

What many people know is that in the subsequent Scottish independence referendum, the SNP was the main force supporting Scottish independence in the Scottish Parliament.

The Labor Party and the Liberal Democrats both support the reunification of Britain.

His position can be seen from the fact that Melvin Coy actively participated in overseas military operations after joining the army as a Scotsman, and later created the "Imperial Shield" to house retired soldiers.

……

“Welcome to Saudi Arabia, my dear friend.”

"It's an honor to receive your invitation, Mr. Walid."

On the first stop after leaving England, Barron's private plane landed at Riyadh Airport, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

The reason why he is here is because he received an invitation from Prince Walid, the richest man in the Middle East who cooperates with him, as early as the beginning of this year. Therefore, during this trip to Asia, he will make his first trip to Asia. Settled in Saudi Arabia.

It can be seen that Prince Walid also attaches great importance to Barron's visit.

After personally greeting him at the airport, what Barron saw was the motorcade that the other party drove over to greet him...

This is a huge fleet consisting of more than 20 Rolls-Royce cars. Yes, you read that right, this fleet with no end in sight is filled with all kinds of Rolls-Royce cars.

Barron is naturally no stranger to Rolls-Royce cars. He owns several of them himself and often rides them when traveling overseas.

But this was the first time I saw so many Rolls-Royces forming a convoy to greet him.

Half of these Rolls-Royces are extended models, which are more than enough to pick up all the entourages of Barron and Prince Walid at one time.

As for the car that Prince Walid prepared for Barron, the car body is entirely gold-this is not gold plating, but pure gold flakes are pasted all over the car body using a special process... …

This scene made Barron think about it. In his previous life, he had seen media reports that Prince Walid next to him had a diamond-encrusted Mercedes-Benz SL600 with a total of 300,000 diamonds embedded in it. At his private car show, just touching the car cost $1,000.

Of course, this car will appear a few years later.

But even now, Prince Walid owns countless sports cars of all kinds, including super sports cars with different styles.

However, on the occasion of welcoming Barron, the British Duke, today, it is definitely inappropriate to form a convoy of dazzling supercars to greet him.

Even so, today’s welcoming convoy consisting entirely of Rolls-Royces of various styles is shocking enough. The convoy directly took Barron and his party into the tent...

Yes, you read that right, it is indeed a "tent".

As we all know, all tribes in Saudi Arabia were once nomadic peoples, and tents were their traditional residences.

In the desert near Riyadh, the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia, Prince Walid owns a modern super tent...

Of course, it is more appropriate to say it is a modern palace.

The building was built in 2000, when Prince Walid spent $130 million to build the palace using state-of-the-art high-tech technology.

It has more than 300 luxurious rooms, equipped with 520 state-of-the-art TV sets, 400 high-tech communication equipment, 8 super large elevators and several swimming pools.

The top floor of the palace is an airstrip. There are as many as 180 servants in the palace. It can be said that as his residence, this place is extremely luxurious.

What people have to lament is that when it comes to wealth, Prince Walid and Barron are actually not very different.

In the Forbes Global Rich List just released this year, 47-year-old Prince Walid ranked fourth in the world with a personal asset of US$21.5 billion.

Barron's personal assets have been assessed at US$20 billion, tied for sixth place with five family members who own the same shares of Wal-Mart Group.

Although in fact Barron's personal wealth is definitely underestimated, Prince Walid's wealth figures on the list may not be accurate... Generally speaking, the wealth owned by the two men is considered to be at the same level. of.

But compared to enjoyment, Barron is really different from the Saudi prince.

For example, the super mansion he currently lives in called "Tent" can cost US$130 million - Barron has never purchased a mansion with such a high unit price...

In addition, the private jet owned by Barron is a Gulfstream G450, a medium-sized business jet.

Prince Walid’s private jet is not just one, but they are all modified from behemoths like Boeing 747 and Airbus 321.

For example, the interior decoration of his luxurious Boeing 747 private jet is even more luxurious than a five-star hotel.

The interior of this home features a master suite with king-size bed and shower, a full-size dining room and kitchen, and a prayer area that points to Mecca at all times.

But the most well-known of Prince Walid’s private jets was the A380 large passenger jet he ordered from Airbus for more than $500 million five years later as his palace in the sky.

This is also the largest private jet in the world since then.

Because as of the end of production of the A380 passenger aircraft, only Prince Walid’s aircraft is used as a private jet.

In addition to his private jet, Prince Walid also owns a superyacht - the 282-foot luxury yacht Kingdom 5KR.

This is a 1980 classic yacht he bought from Ivanta's father - named after his investment company, lucky numbers and two children.

Kingdom5KR can accommodate 22 guests and 31 crew members.

Its walls and bathrooms are decorated with precious materials, as well as salons, offices, saunas, elevators, helipads and cinemas.

There's also a hospital and six refrigerators up there to keep the prince and his companions safe and comfortable in any situation.

So far, Prince Waleed has nearly 300 cars, including a blue Rolls-Royce and a rare Lamborghini Veneno Roadster.

In addition, Prince Walid has an accompanying team of 26 people to accompany him anytime and anywhere.

Not only would they join him on yachts, events and vacations, but they would also have dinner with him.

Their responsibilities include medical, palace management, personal affairs, concierge, travel, telecommunications, beauty, fitness, security and audio-visual aspects.

It can be said that Prince Walid's luxury enjoyment exceeds that of Barron in any aspect... It seems that he still has a lot to learn.
