Rebirth of England

Apart from anything else, the A380 did make Barron a little excited.

Your Highness, this is my wife, Amina.

Walid introduced the young and beautiful woman next to him.

Hello, beautiful princess, it is an honor to meet you.

Because he knew that Arabs had certain taboos, especially against women, Barron just praised the princess politely. When he saw her reaching out, he gave her a gentle squeeze, and the touch was instant.

It can be said that compared to other Saudi women, Amina does have more personality, and it is also Walid who is more open-minded, or dotes on him...

During this meeting, Amina did not cover herself with a veil, but showed her true colors directly, which is something that rarely happens in Saudi Arabia.

Amina Elkawir is 21 years old, 28 years younger than Walid.

Amina is Prince Walid’s third wife. Although polygamy is allowed in Saudi Arabia, Prince Walid’s idea is rather special here. He believes that two people who no longer love each other should separate, so every Each time, he paid his ex-wife a large amount of breakup fee and then divorced and remarried.

However, although Amina is called the most beautiful princess in Saudi Arabia, in Barron's view, based solely on appearance and figure, Aliya next to him is even better than the princess in front of him.

In order to close the relationship with them, Barron always used Arabic when talking to the Walid couple.

I heard from my husband that when they first met in London, the young British Duke in front of him could only speak the simplest two or three sentences in Arabic...

Now, Barron is able to chat with them in fluent Arabic - at first, Amina thought he had learned Arabic for many years, so she was surprised.

Maybe I have a little talent for languages. I have to thank my Arabic teacher, Miss Alia, for this.

When Barron said this, both Walid and Amina looked at Aliya next to Barron.

Ivanta would not meet up with Barron until the next stop, so at today's dinner, Barron did not have any other female companions, so he took Aliya with him.

Miss Alia, are you also an Arab?

Perhaps it was because Aliya who was beside Barron was not wearing a veil. Amina looked at her with admiration in her eyes and asked in a kind tone.

Yes, Princess, I am three-quarters Arab.

Alia did not say that her ancestors were from the Holy Family. After all, the grandfather of Prince Walid in front of her was the Saudi Arabia that was founded after the Hashemite family was driven out of here.

In Saudi Arabia, Walid is relatively tolerant towards women. This can be seen from Princess Amina. Therefore, Alia, a beauty with Arab descent, neither wears a veil nor even wears a veil. Even if I believe in Islam, I don’t care.

Speaking of which, Walid and Princess Amina met when the other party was 18 years old...

Amina, who was still in college at the time, was selected by the school to interview Walid. Initially, Walid only gave him 10 minutes, but during the interview, Walid was deeply attracted by the beautiful girl without a veil in front of him. I was so fascinated that the original 10-minute interview was suddenly stretched into 2 hours.

Soon after, the two fell in love. At first, Amina asked to marry Walid after graduation. Walid agreed, and when she graduated, he went to attend the graduation ceremony.

Maybe the reason why Walid dotes on Amina so much is not just because she is a beautiful vase, but because Amina, who was brought up by a divorced mother, has a more independent soul - in an environment like Saudi Arabia, women It does take courage to choose to divorce.

For example, after marrying Al-Waleed, Amina did not stop showing up like other female members of the Middle Eastern royal family - just like the eldest princess of the Dubai royal family, Hurd, who has been married to Sheikh since 1979. It’s been 25 years since I left the Dubai Palace.

But Amina, who has a rebellious and bold personality, has never been willing to be his canary since she married Prince Walid. Instead, she has been following him around, hoping to have her own career and grow up with her husband.

Amina devoted a lot of time to charity and established the Waleed Foundation in her husband's name, which won Walid a lot of good reputation.

Perhaps it was also because Aliya had a more Westernized mindset that was different from most Arab women, so when Barron was discussing business with Walid, she and Aliya had a good conversation and seemed to hit it off.

What Walid chatted with Barron was about investment and finance.

Prince Al-Waleed's investment company is called Saudi Kingdom Holding Company. Although he has invested in many industries, the most important thing is banks.

In addition to the United Commercial Bank of Saudi Arabia, Walid is also the largest individual shareholder of Citigroup, and these assets account for more than half of his total assets.

In addition to this, he also actively acquired shares in many other banks...

At the same time, Kingdom Holdings’ investments include real estate, supermarket chains, telecommunications companies, television stations, hotels and other industries.

Interestingly, Barron is also involved in almost all of these industries.

What’s even more interesting is that Kingdom Holdings also owns shares in Amazon and Apple…

So in these business aspects, Walid and Barron still have a lot to talk about.

Prince Walid said that he will hold a grand welcome banquet for Barron's arrival in the Kingdom Palace in the center of Riyadh in two days.

Regarding the content of this banquet, Prince Walid seemed relatively mysterious and did not reveal it to Barron in advance.

But looking at his expression, he looked like he was looking forward to surprising everyone...

…

Sure enough, as the richest man in the Middle East, Walid’s handiwork was indeed beyond Barron’s expectation.

Two days later, when he and his entourage attended the welcome banquet held by Walid at the Kingdom Palace, although the banquet was extremely gorgeous and beautiful, and the food was also very exquisite...

But these are not enough to surprise Barron...

What really made Barron couldn't help shouting I Kao in his heart... was the performance after the welcome banquet started.

Because those who appeared on the stage included Janet Jackson, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Eminem, Linkin Park, Beyoncé, Avril Lavigne, Black Eyed Peas...

If this list were listed in full, I'm afraid it would be questioned as having too few words...

But the fact is that among the most famous singers in the world, Prince Walid invited more than 30 people!

You know, these are the hottest singers right now!

And later Barron learned that Walid only spent three days to contact the other party, and then sent his own private plane to take the singers directly to Riyadh, and then gave Barron a big surprise!

Each of these people sang one or two of their representative works on the spot, making this welcome banquet almost like a small concert!

Even Barron, a man who has experienced two lives and is well-informed, was shocked by Prince Walid's generosity, let alone the other people who came to attend this banquet...

Anyway, since the beginning, the cheers in the venue have not stopped. There are more than a hundred guests in total, which almost turns the place into a large fanatical party.
