Dubai may be the most magical place in the world.
This international metropolis with the largest population in the United Arab Emirates is the richest city in the entire Middle East and the economic and financial center of the entire Middle East. It is located on the south coast of the Arabian Gulf, across the sea from the South Asian subcontinent, adjacent to Qatar and bordering Saudi Arabia.
The unique geographical location has created its unique international status.
This city has the world's first seven-star hotel, the world's tallest skyscraper, the world's largest shopping mall and many other facilities that attract the attention of the world.
All these conditions come together to form a city of wealthy people.
How rich are you?
Raising leopards and lions is just a trivial matter. The truly inhumane thing is much more shocking than raising pets with high-end beef. I don't know who threw money from the hotel, it doesn't matter.
The biggest tycoon in Dubai is the city government.
Give a few small examples;
In 2014, Dubai's population exceeded 2.25 million, and daily traffic in the city became extremely congested.
After a survey by the Dubai Municipality, it became clear; the citizens are too rich and have too many private cars! During rush hours, the traffic jams are like constipation. How can this happen?
What to do?
In response to this situation, the Dubai government held a special meeting. It was decided to learn from densely populated countries such as Japan and China and promote public transportation.
This is a common solution.
But what Dubai does is unconventional.
How did they do it?
On November 1, Dubai’s Traffic Day, the government issued an announcement (big move); starting from the Traffic Day, as long as Dubai residents can abandon private cars in the next week, they will instead use subways and buses. If you travel on public transportation, you will have the opportunity to receive 4 kilograms of gold through draws and other surprises.
Attention, this quota is not for one person.
But 50 people,
Four kilograms of gold is equivalent to more than 1.2 million yuan, multiplied by 50, it is more than 60 million... just to encourage people to take public transportation...
Before this happened, it was in 2013.
The Dubai Municipality conducted a population health census of residents, and this survey became popular.
Have fun every day and don’t work, and don’t exercise except in bed. The obesity rate among citizens has reached 35%.
Is this okay?
So, in order to solve the obesity and sub-health problems of urban residents, the Dubai government issued an announcement.
Promote weight loss and hold the "Lose Weight for Gold" event.
According to the rules of the event, any resident currently in Dubai, whether domestic or foreign, can obtain one gram of gold as long as he loses one kilogram within thirty days. And for every additional kilogram you lose, you can receive one more gram, with no upper limit!
And after the event ends, the top three who have lost the most weight will receive an extra gold coin worth 20,000 dirhams.
It is said that after the thirty-day event, the Dubai government gave away gold worth nearly 30 million dirhams.
Also in 2013, the Dubai government discovered that the bad habit of littering by citizens in certain areas was particularly serious. There were piles of peel confetti surrounding the bins.
The Dubai Municipality took a look and realized that this was not possible!
This has seriously affected the spiritual civilization of our city!
How to fix it?
Send it! No...the gold has been given away too much and has depreciated in value.
Then investigate! Solve the problem from the root!
After investigation, I found out.
It turns out that the citizens think that the trash can is too dirty, ugly and smelly, and they are unwilling to move forward!
Yes!
After knowing the reason, the Dubai government will not send gold to encourage people to throw garbage into the trash can this time.
Don’t you think it’s dirty, smelly and ugly?
Brother, I’ll give you a high-end one!
So the Dubai government directly customized more than 700 trash cans.
What kind of trash can?
A trash can designed by the famous Louis Vuitton and wrapped in pure first-layer calfskin!
How much do these trash cans cost?
Equivalent to RMB 30,000!
Seven hundred trash cans, and more than 20 million were thrown out...
If this matter were left to the Chinese government, they would at most put an extra cleaner in the dirty and messy area. The annual expenses of a cleaner is only 15,000...
That's it.
There is another thing that happened this year.
Because the road conditions in Dubai are relatively good, and there are many local tycoons and luxury cars, there is always a wave of racing parties active.
People who drive well have no worries, so they drive very fast, violently and without restraint. This poses a big threat to the safety of people and vehicles in the city.
In fact, this matter is nothing new. It has been existing for a few years. The Dubai Municipal Government and Traffic Police Department have been worried about this matter.
In order to solve this problem, they were equipping traffic police with a large number of sports cars as early as 2009.
Don’t get me wrong, these sports cars were not ordered by the wealthy government, but were some long-term unowned vehicles that were seized in various parking lots - to put it bluntly, the owners didn’t want them for various reasons!
These cars include the Acav from Rhysfast, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class AGM, and the Luster Wentig GT. They are all sports cars with good performance.
But after these sports cars crashed into traffic police service, the underlying problem was not solved.
Because when the Dubai police actually hunted down racing gangs, they found that even these valuable and high-performance sports cars still couldn't catch up with those racing gangs!
Often when the police receive a call or find a dragster approaching while patrolling, they are thrown far behind by the accelerator of these limited-edition and heavily modified supercars.
The traffic policeman driving a luxury police car can only eat dust behind people's buttocks and watch the racing party disappear in a hurry,
After this investigation, the Dubai Municipal Government and the Traffic Police Department understood that it was because they did not send it... and did not recharge it!
After learning from the experience, the Traffic Police Department solemnly reported to the Dubai Municipality;
“The reason why we cannot solve the problem of racing gangs is because the cars of our law enforcement police are not fast enough! We applied for recharge to purchase supercars for the front-line traffic police departments that can outperform the racing gangs’ cars!
Use a supercar equipped with the highest speed to punish and deter lawbreakers, solve drag racing at its root, and ensure the safety of people and vehicles in Dubai! ”
Hearing this genius suggestion, Mayor Abdullah waved his hand - What a great idea! Right!
I will allocate 20 million US dollars to you first, go and do your best, brother!
......
After receiving the money, the Traffic Police Department immediately started the wealthy mode.
Have money and be willful!
If you want to scare those racing enthusiasts, you have to buy the fastest car in the world! We don’t want the second one!
With this mentality in mind, they immediately began to select supercars around the world.
Originally, they were interested in the VenomGT from Hennessy Tuning Factory. But just when I was about to place an order, I saw the news that Zhengxin RS had refreshed the VenomGT top speed record.
This guy was trying his best to contact Zhengxin, and he immediately saw PunmsGT refreshing RS's record.
This puts the Dubai Traffic Police Department in a bit of a dilemma; you two guys keep changing, how can I choose!
Come on! Otherwise, forget it, choose PunmsGT!
But they just contacted Hennessy Modification Factory, but they got a piece of news that made them depressed - it turns out that Punms are still in the research and development stage, and delivery will have to wait until a year later...
Isn’t this a lie?
The baby feels uncomfortable if he can’t immediately buy the car he likes even though he has money!
Just when the Traffic Police Department was depressed, they saw the Longbow RS once again set a new world record, and the top speed was set to nearly 500 kilometers per hour, which was 8% faster than the Punms GT!
They discussed it internally; got it! Looking at it like this, this will be the first one for a while.
Then what are you waiting for, old man?
Buy, buy, buy!
After contacting Zhengshin and learning that production can be started immediately after paying a deposit, and emergency production can be handled by paying US$2 million, the officials of the Traffic Police Department were happy;
A problem that can be solved with money is still called a problem?
Give me five cars to try first! Come again if the effect is good!
