Now all the shots are focused on Qatar, the host of the World Cup.
We all know that Qatar has money, but I really didn't expect Qatar to be so rich.
You just need to know that he is more inhuman than the inhuman Dubai of the trenches, which is the only country in the world that covers the cost of birth, old age, illness and death. It is also the only country in the world that has eliminated the concept of the poor. Here, the country's citizens work only three hours a day, and its GDP per capita is often among the highest in the world.
Unlike other countries whose ancestors were once broad, Qatar's ancestors are truly called poor. It was oil that changed everything, and Qatar developed visibly. The petrodollar has brought great wealth to Qatar, and it can be said that the country of Qatar is poor only the dollar and oil.
The Qatari government is also particularly interesting, and when he has money, he will take care of the life, old age, illness and death of the people. The state pays for medical treatment, education does not cost money, the unemployed country will give you a generous subsidy, and the cost of water, electricity and gas is all paid by the state. Of course, for the citizens of Qatar, it is a matter of twisting their own oil well valves a few more times.
When we are still struggling with whether to buy a blue cat for 1,000 yuan or raise a Chinese pastoral cat, Qataris are worried about raising lions after raising tigers as pets?
Hosting the World Cup this time, Qatar has also fully demonstrated what is called a local tyrant. While other countries are racking their brains to make some money by hosting the World Series, Qatar is waving the pen and spending $220 billion for the event – a budget that directly exceeds the budget of the previous 21 World Cups combined.
So how did the $220 billion get spent? Qatar also has a population of only 2 million, and in the face of a possible influx of millions of fans, Qatar directly goes to the big infrastructure.
Qatar's plan is to directly create something out of nothing, spending $45 billion in the desert to build a city for the World Cup - Lucerus New City.
This 38-square-kilometer city is sure to delight fans all over the world. Of course, after having a new city, there must be supporting facilities, such as subways and airports. Qatar used money to directly smash $36 billion to get more than 70 kilometers of subways, and 16 billion to build a new airport.
Qatar's own reception capacity is limited, so these local tycoons suddenly want to rent cruise ships and use these top cruise ships as hostels, and the trenches are inhumane!
With a variety of facilities, you have to tinker with world-class courses. The main venue of the Qatar World Cup, the Luceral Stadium, was designed to resemble a large golden bowl. The stadium of 80,000 people was even equipped with air conditioning armed with the latest technology.
However, this kind of venue only spent less than 800 million, which is very unreasonable for Qatar, which has always regarded money as dung, but if you know that this is a Chinese masterpiece, you will feel very reasonable. Sure enough, in response to the old saying, this World Cup except for the Chinese men's football team, China has participated in all aspects.
Of course, the most inhuman point of Qataris is that they even find heartthrob David Beckham, a 10-year contract for 150 million pounds.
Qatar, a tycoon country, showed the world what a consumerist ceiling is.
But don't look at Qatar is so arrogant now, in fact, just a few years ago he experienced a big crisis and was almost artificially made into an island country.
Qatar is located in the Gulf region, its foreign policy is more pragmatic, and its relations with Israel and Iran are so-so, which is much better than the extreme hatred of Iran, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
But such a country fell out with Saudi Arabia and almost all of its neighbors in 2017.
On May 23 of that year, Arab television, a joint venture between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, suddenly announced that a statement on Qatar's official website by a "scary" organization supported by the Emir supporting Iran's Second Armed Guard and supporting the Lebanese Allah Party and Hamas.
The Emir also denounced the founding of the United States. This can stab the hornet's nest in the Middle East, because the objects supported by the Emir include "scary" organizations, the objects of the common hatred of the countries of the Middle East, and the ugly face of the United States.
This statement made Qatar quickly blocked by various surrounding countries, and the UAE reacted the most violently, announcing: anyone who sympathizes with Qatar will be sentenced to 3~15 years in prison by UAE nationality. Bahrain, Kuwait and other countries have also begun to sanction Qatar, banning aircraft from flying overflight.
At the same time, Saudi Arabia decided to dig a canal on the border between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and once this canal was successfully dug, it would directly turn Qatar, which was originally just a peninsula, into an island country, completely isolating Qatar from the Arab continent.
This move is fatal to Qatar, because Qatar itself is poor only oil and money, many materials rely on land transportation from Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia made an artificial river, which is equivalent to blocking the land connection between Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which can be said to be a new era of severance, for Qatar is absolutely unacceptable.
Saudi Arabia also announced that nuclear waste would be dumped on the side of the canal near Qatar, and the Saudi crown prince's adviser told the Saudi people that this project is to turn Qatar into an island.
The Saudis recruited, and the Qataris must also take suit. They have good relations with the United States and ensure their sense of security. At the same time, their monarch, the emir, met with Khamenei, made good relations with Iran, and bought an insurance policy for his own security.
With the advantage of their own deep pockets, they mined fiercely and made money fiercely, so the blockade of Saudi Arabia and other countries did not bring too fatal blows to Qatar.
However, the Gulf countries are really meticulous, and the three countries of Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which were originally very tough, spoke out separately in the last month of 2020, saying that the crisis had been resolved. This is also thanks to Mr. Chuan Jianguo, who restored the Gulf countries to a harmonious state through his own efforts before leaving office, and Qatar finally did not become an island country, and the World Cup was successfully held in Qatar.
