I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

The Dakar Rally is the harshest and most adventurous motor sport in the world. It is called the game of the brave. It is held at the beginning of each year and attracts the eager attention of hundreds of millions of people around the world.

The reason why a car race is so attractive is that the Dakar Rally is not held on roads. Most of the stages are in deserts and savannas. There are basically no existing roads. Drivers and navigators rely on the organizing committee. The route map of the meeting requires the aid of a compass and GPS global positioning system to reach and pass each assembly point.

Moreover, the Dakar Rally is open, and more than 80% of the participants are amateurs. Zelly Sabine, the founder of the rally, said that this is a professional and amateur rally that is attractive to professional players.

Chen Ling knows that the Dakar Rally is very famous, so he also wants to see it.

Bill is a fan of motor sports and has been paying attention to this year’s events. He said: “Mr. Chen, the route for this year’s rally is to start from Dakar, cross Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, and finally reach the Red Sea coast of Sudan. Through Africa, thousands of kilometers of routes are mainly in the desert..."

"Then we can only see a starting point in Dakar, right?" Chen Ling asked.

Bill smiled and said: "We don't go to the starting point to see, there is the starting point, which is boring. Someone has already researched the best viewing places along the way, the places that most test the level of the rider and the vehicle. We can go there and wait and see. "

Chen Ling thought for a while, and said, "As long as you are not too far from our survey route, you can go and have a look."

"Awesome!" Bill was very happy with Chen Ling's permission.

François does not seem to be very interested in motor racing, he is more interested in water sports.

Chen Ling discussed a few words with Zhou Tianming and He Chaoxu, and finally said: "Then it will be so, and we will leave for Dakar the day after tomorrow. Each unit is responsible for the expenses of its own personnel, and the security expenses are borne by the CR company. Everyone will act separately. !"

...

The day before departure, the rotating elder Saidu came to see the patriarch Chen Ling.

"The team to Trida has been arranged and will leave in four days." Saidu reported the situation, "You gave the token, and I believe that Mother and Son will come back with us. There is just one thing that requires your decision. ."

Chen Ling frowned and said, "Didn't you say it's OK, you can't decide if you have something, you can discuss and decide on the committee of elders."

Saidu smiled and said: "Patriarch, this matter needs your opinion, because you started it. After we brought Mother Tereza back, what about Trida? According to your description, this particular Rida belongs to our family’s territory, but the country of Algeria legally does not allow this kind of territory to exist unless we obtain the ownership of that piece of land."

Chen Ling nodded in agreement with Saidu's statement, and he also thought in his heart that it would be a pity to lose Trida. It is an oasis in the desert, with abundant water resources and underground space. If you give up control over it, it is tantamount to giving up this good place to the Tuareg people.

Saidu continued: "In the desert, this piece of land is also valuable. We have studied the desert trade in the past, and Trida is the only way to go..."

Chen Ling raised his hand to interrupt Saidu and said, "This time we will send more people to Mali. Some people will return to Mali with Mother Tereza and her son, and some will stay there to guard Trida. We must take ownership of this land. , I will solve this matter."

"After the land is obtained, develop Trida into a tourist destination. There is water, sunshine, and a natural underground labyrinth, which is very valuable for tourism development. You start to think about this, and plan a desert trade history museum. , Cross-country routes, a simple airport, landing helicopters, small short-distance passenger planes..."

Said by Saidu, Chen Ling intends to develop Trida as a special tourism. There are so many rushes for life-threatening events like Dakar, and there is definitely potential for a special tour in the center of the desert.

Moreover, Lake Trida is a memorable place for Chen Ling. After the infrastructure is complete, it will be more convenient to "revisit the old place" in the future.

Saidu looked hesitant and wanted to say nothing.

Chen Ling took a sip of tea and said slowly: ‘’Just say what you have. "

Saidu smiled and said: "Patriarch, that's the case. Although Tereza and Montel’s mother and son are the blood of our ancestors, they look a little different in our entire family. After I bring them back, I am worried that they will be Exclusion."

"Your elders have agreed to their return, and Tereza has entered the elders committee, who dares to reject?"

Saidu hurriedly said: "Our elders will definitely not reject Tereza, or their mother and son! But Tereza was not elected as the elder. With so many people in the family, it is inevitable that there will be different ideas, and it is inevitable to say something unpleasant. If they do, do something inappropriate to make them embarrassed by their mother and son. They are embarrassed by their mother and son, that is, they are embarrassing you, the patriarch."

Chen Ling looked at Saidu.

Saidou laughed and continued: "So, I have an idea to accept Montel as my son and give him more status..."

Chen Ling asked, "Is this your idea or the idea of ​​the elders committee?"

Saidu cautiously said: "It's my thoughts as the rotating patriarch."

"Very good!" Chen Ling patted the table, stood up, and said, "As the rotating patriarch, you must care about the clan talents like this. Trida's lineage led the Golden Guards through the desert, but was embarrassed by bandits. , Cursed in the last body, trapped in Trida for hundreds of years. Not only to prevent the continuous invasion of bandits and descendants, but also to guard against the coveting of the Tuareg, who was killed in pieces by the desert task force. Only orphans and widows are left. But they have guarded the treasures that they had guarded until today! They are the heroes of the family!"

"Saidu, it’s very good that you can think of this. I can’t guarantee that Trisha and Montel will promise you, but I will tell them personally. In addition, they will be responsible for the development of Trida. Someone in the family contributes money to support."

With Chen Ling's support, Saidu was determined in his heart and asked another question: "Patriarch, the development of Trida requires a lot of funds, what should I do?"

"Triida will be a family asset, so Trisha and the others can use part of the treasure to be used as development funds; my personal Rotana Group will invest in some homestays in Triida. The two add up. Almost. But I want to remind you, and the members of the Council of Elders, whether the Trida Treasures belong to the family, you have to discuss with Mother Tereza and her son, and they need to agree. My opinion is that they keep very much Third, the rest belonged to the family and entered the family's investment company. Tereza served as a life director, and she was succeeded by Montel."

Saidu nodded and said yes, thinking that if the patriarch had made this arrangement earlier, my old Saidu would not consider Monteel as a righteous son, but the words have been spoken, even if they take the initiative to show goodwill to Mother Tereza and her son.

Chen Ling joked: "Old Saidu, you won't suffer. That Teresa has been a widow for many years, and you are also an old widower, hahaha..."

"No, no, I don't have this thought." Saidu defended.
