Zayed's motorcade took Zhang Xiuying directly to the private Royal Hospital in Abu Dhabi. This hospital only serves the royal family of the United Arab Emirates. The equipment inside is the most advanced and cannot even compare with that of the United States. And this Royal Hospital is not a hospital in the usual sense, but more like a resort, close to the seaside and a large green park.

The annual physical examinations of royal families from several countries in the United Arab Emirates are arranged here. Zhang Xiuying was admitted to the most advanced ward. It is better to say that it is a super five-star hotel than a ward, and it is extremely luxurious. Originally, Zayed wanted to arrange for Ye Fang to live in his own manor, but Ye Fang didn't want to leave Zhang Xiuying here alone, so he let everyone live in this royal hospital.

The royal family of Abu Dhabi has a special residence in the hospital, and Zayed directly arranged Ye Fang here. In order to accompany Ye Fang, Zayed also lived here. Said to be a residence, it is actually a large group of ultra-luxury villas. Each royal member has an exclusive territory and a dedicated medical team. It was also the first time that Ye Fang saw the extravagance of the UAE royal family members, who simply mishandled money.

"Dad, Dad! The toilets in Uncle De's house are all golden."

"Dad, Dad! There are beautiful little stones on the toilet in Uncle De's house."

Ye Fang looked at the small stone in his daughter Yanyan's hand and found that it turned out to be a diamond. At this time, Zayed laughed and said, "If you like it, I will give you the entire toilet."

Ye Fang told his daughter not to eat this food, and then said to Zayed, "No one gives gifts and toilets."

"Children can take whatever they like. The most important thing for me is gold and US dollars." Zayed said proudly.

Ye Fang knew that Zayed was rich, so he changed the topic to surgery, "How are the arrangements for the surgery going?"

"The operation will be performed in two days. Don't worry, I have made all arrangements." Zayed said.

"Thank you, Lao De! Without your help this time, I don't know how long this operation would have been scheduled." Ye Fang's heartfelt words made Zayed feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart. It has been many years since Zayed I have never heard such sincere thanks.

Zayed patted Ye Fang on the shoulder and said proudly, "We are brothers. You are my eldest brother. Whatever the eldest brother says, I will do it here."

"Do you follow everything?" Ye Fang asked deliberately. "When you become the president of the United Arab Emirates, will you follow everything? I can't command you, the president of a big country."

"What a big country, it only has a little money at best. No matter what time it is, our friendship is as beautiful as the diamonds on the toilet. It is both beautiful and practical."

Zayed's inappropriate metaphor made the two laugh, and since then they have formed a deep friendship.

Two days later, Zhang Xiuying's operation went on as scheduled. Before approaching the operating room, Zhang Xiuying took Ye Fang's hand and said emotionally, "Ye Fang, if I can't get off the operating table, I must be taken back to China. I don't want to stay alone." This is a foreign country.”

"Mom, don't worry. Howard has already watched your movie. He is confident and the situation is very optimistic. You will be fine. You will have a family full of children and grandchildren in the future. Come, Yanyan, say a word to grandma to encourage her. Give her a break." Ye Fang led his daughter Yanyan to Zhang Xiuying.

Ye Yanyan seemed to know that her grandma was going to undergo an extremely difficult operation. She held Zhang Xiuying's hand with tears in her eyes and said, "Grandma, I'll wait for you to come out! You must be strong!"

Immediately after her granddaughter's words, Zhang Xiuying couldn't hold back any longer. She nodded stubbornly and said, "Grandma must be strong! Yanyan is good!"

The medical staff then pushed Zhang Xiuying into the operating room, and Ye Fang then called Ye Youxin to tell him that the operation had begun. At this time, the Ye family were quietly waiting for news in their old house in the capital. Even many important people in the capital were waiting for the results of the operation. The relevant departments had prepared two sets of plans to deal with situations that might happen at any time.

Zhang Xiuying is now the head matron of the Ye family. She is a very influential figure in the Ye family. She only shows her glorious maternal side when facing Ye Fang. The operation lasted eight hours. When Howard came out of the operating room and told him that the operation was successful, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that Zhang Xiuying is older and needs a period of rest to undergo such a major surgery.

Howard suggested recuperating in the United Arab Emirates for a while before considering returning to China. Ye Fang thanked him profusely, and then asked Leng Chuan to take out a million-dollar check and hand it to Howard. Howard accepted the check without ceremony. For him, his surgical skills were worth the price. The news of Zhang Xiuying's successful operation spread back to the capital, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xiuying is still under observation in the intensive care unit, and Ye Lili, Ye Chengan and the medical team invited by Zayed are taking care of her. In fact, Ye Lili and Ye Chengan couldn't help much. They were only responsible for reporting Zhang Xiuying's situation to the capital regularly so that everyone could feel at ease. Granddaughter Ye Yanyan also stayed by Zhang Xiuying's side every day, and was responsible for talking to her even when Zhang Xiuying was in a coma. This made Zhang Xiuying burst out with a strong will to survive, and Zhang Xiuying woke up within 24 hours.

After learning that Zhang Xiuying was awake, Ye Fang knew that the Ye family had finally passed another level. Because of the brain surgery, all of Zhang Xiuying's hair had been cut off, and it would take at least two months for her hair to grow back. This means that Ye Fang and others will have to stay here in the UAE for these two months. For Ye Fang, he has become accustomed to being at home all over the world. But Ye Chengan and Ye Lili still had to go back to work. They returned to China a week after Zhang Xiuying's successful operation. Ye Yanyan still stayed in the UAE to accompany Zhang Xiuying.

Zayed is very thorough in his work. From the medical team to the nanny team, he even found an early education team for Ye Yanyan, including English teachers and Arabic teachers. Ye Fang did not expect that when his daughter Yanyan returned to Beijing, she could communicate in two languages ​​proficiently. This made Ye Fang marvel at the child's language talent.

During the period during Zhang Xiuying's surgery, Zayed had been paying attention to the arms business negotiations between the United States and Britain and his eldest brother Maktoum. After the two parties had a simple contact, Maktoum arranged a rich itinerary, including an inspection of the UAE Defense Force. As well as weapons and equipment, and of course the arranged beaches and beauties, after completing these itineraries, not even a single formal negotiation was held.

"Brother, should I go to my father for a showdown now?"

Ye Fang shook his head and said, "You need to find a way to get arms quotations from the United States and Britain. This kind of negotiation is never completed in one go. After I get the quotations, I will issue you a new one. There is no comparison. There is no harm in it. Anyone who is not stupid knows how to choose between two completely different quotations."

Zayed nodded and said, "The only thing I'm worried about now is that the United States and Britain have an under-the-table agreement with my eldest brother. Once the United States and Britain promise any conditions, it is very likely that my eldest brother will not submit."

"An agreement under the table?!" Ye Fang frowned slightly and said to himself, "What kind of agreement can there be under the table? Your eldest brother is the future president of the United Arab Emirates. He has neither money nor channels to make money. The United States and Britain What promises can you make to him? The United Arab Emirates is a major oil producer in the Middle East and a major member of OPEC. It is too late for the United States and Britain to coax them. What can your elder brother ask for from them?"

At this time, Ye Fang suddenly turned around and asked, "What is your purpose of purchasing arms this time?"

"As far as I know, it's mainly for self-defense. The UAE's weapons and equipment are all from the 80s and [-]s, and they can no longer keep up with the international situation. In addition to buying conventional weapons for replacement, I heard that they also want to buy some missiles and Anti-missile equipment enhances the overall national defense level of the UAE. There are also too many illegal armed forces in the Middle East, and some illegally armed weapons are even more advanced than those of the national army. There are many terrorist actions targeting oil fields every year, so Only then will there be such a thing as arms procurement," Zayed said.

"Originally speaking, Western countries do not want the Middle East to be too peaceful. I think there is a high probability that they will not provide you with missile systems. This is not in the national interest of the United States, Britain and Western countries. As far as I know, many terrorist organizations have weapons secretly stolen by Western countries. They definitely don't want you to have the ability to destroy these armed forces. I guess conventional weapons will be given to you, but missiles and other big killers won't be available. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see." Ye Fang analyzed.

"If the United States and Britain do not provide missile killers, you can go to see your father alone. China can provide all the weapons and equipment he wants at favorable prices." Ye Fang confidently said, although Ye Fang has not yet discussed this issue with Ye Fang. There is communication, but Ye Fang knows very well that the country needs weapons to earn foreign exchange. A strong Middle East can check and balance Western countries, especially the major oil-producing countries in the Middle East that maintain friendly relations with China.

"Okay, I'm going to collect their weapons quotations." Zayed said solemnly.

Ye Fang returned to his room and met Zhang Xiuying. Zhang Xiuying looked very good and could already sit up. Ye Fang told Zhang Xiuying that he wanted to compete with the United States and Britain for a large arms order from the United Arab Emirates, and wanted to hear Zhang Xiuying's opinion.

"I think this is feasible. The largest business we have done with the Middle East so far is the Dongfeng missile business with Saudi Arabia. With this precedent, we may not be unable to win this missile order. The reason why there is no relationship with When doing business in the Middle East, on the one hand, the impact on the international community is estimated, and on the other hand, there is no suitable middleman. Since you now have this relationship with Zayed, it is not a bad idea to work hard," Zhang Xiuying said.

"Then I will discuss it with my third uncle now."

Ye Fang then called Ye Youxin and told Ye Youxin about this idea. Ye Youxin did not reply immediately to Ye Fang, saying that he had to ask the higher authorities for instructions on this matter. It is easy to do business, but you must consider the sale. The relevant departments of these countries need to consider the international public opinion after it is completed. Ye Youxin asked Ye Fang to wait for his news and would give Ye Fang a reply within three days at most.

After receiving Ye Youxin's reply, Ye Fang was in a good mood. It happened that the weather in the UAE was not so hot today, so he pushed Zhang Xiuying and her daughter Yanyan to the park in a wheelchair. Zhang Xiuying, who had not left the room for a long time, was in a good mood. Yanyan sat on Zhang Xiuying's lap and chattered non-stop. After a while, Zhang Xiuying laughed.

At this moment, Ye Fang noticed a man wearing white Arab robes coming over from the opposite side. There were two Westerners next to him. Ye Fang recognized him at a glance as Zayed's eldest brother, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Maktoum, and Needless to say, the other two are two arms dealers from the United States and Britain. Ye Fang didn't understand what these people were wandering around in the hospital with nothing to do. In fact, Ye Fang didn't know. The main reason was that the British arms dealer played too crazy last night and felt uncomfortable today. Maktoum took him to the Royal Hospital for treatment. A check.

Originally, Ye Fang did not intend to meet Maktoum. After all, they did not know each other, so he took the initiative to make way for Maktoum and his party.

As the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, Maktoum will be the confirmed president of the United Arab Emirates in the future. In the UAE, he is the person below the number of thousands. The arrogance and aloofness in my heart are inherent. Although I am surprised why there are oriental faces in the royal hospital, it is difficult to ask because of the VIPs from the United States and Britain, and I am preparing to take the two of them to dinner.

At this time, Yanyan, who was sitting on Zhang Xiuying's lap, accidentally saw the ice cream juice in her hand splashing on a passing foreigner. This foreigner was a negotiator for the largest arms dealer in the United States, named Foster. Seeing a stain on her brand new suit, a look of disgust immediately appeared on her face. She reached out and knocked the ice cream off Yanyan's hand, and said viciously, "Little Oriental Pig, you soiled my clothes." "

Yanyan was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.

All this happened so suddenly that Ye Fang and Zhang Xiuying were not expecting it. Ye Fang glanced over, and Leng Chuan behind him instantly took action and kicked the American named Foster out. His heavy body fell directly into the pool not far away. Foster was so angry that he screamed in the pool. .

As an American arms dealer, Foster had a professional bodyguard team behind him, and he would take action when he saw something happening. Xiang Rong reacted quickly and directly protected Zhang Xiuying's wheelchair behind him, and the iron guards immediately surrounded Ye Fang.

The two sides were at each other's throats, and they were on the verge of breaking out.

Maktoum knew from the look of his posture that Ye Fang was no ordinary tourist, and he looked like a character just because of his skills against these bodyguards.

"Stop!" Maktoum shouted.

Ye Fang asked Xiang Rong to send Zhang Xiuying and Ye Yanyan back to the room first. Zhang Xiuying looked at Maktoum and the few Westerners next to him with an unkind expression, and said to Ye Fang, "No matter who he is, don't lose our China." Human face.”

"I know, you can go back first and leave this place to me." Ye Fang said with a smile.

Zhang Xiuying nodded and looked deeply at Maktoum. Maktoum actually felt a little nervous. This was definitely the look of a superior. One look could give him a hint of fear, and Maktoum was immediately interested in the identities of Zhang Xiuying and Ye Fang.

Xiang Rong pushed Zhang Xiuying out of the park. There were people from Zayed in Ye Fang's team, and he immediately called Zayed. After receiving the call, Zayed rushed to the hospital as fast as he could...
