World Cup hosting location Qatar Why is it so rich?
There is a character that is crucial, he is the former king of Qatar Hamad.
During his reign, Hamad's father ate, drank, had fun, was generous, spent money like flowing water, and liked to travel.
Once, while his father was traveling, Hamad decided to usurp the throne, so he forced his father to abdicate on the grounds that his father was too squandering.
Then tell his father that if you don’t abdicate, don’t think about returning to China again, and then freeze all his father’s funds, and Hamad successfully took the throne. After
took office, it began to carry out drastic reforms. The most beautiful thing was to spend huge amounts of money to purchase equipment and liquefy the natural gas in its country.
Why do you have to do this?
Because Qatar has the largest single gas field in the world, if calculated by area, half of Qatar's land area is gas field.
With the efforts of Hamad, Qatar has become the world's largest producer and exporter of liquefied natural gas .
We can also see from the geographical location of Qatar. The sea breeze blows in front and the wind and sand blows in the back. The maritime logistics industry is Qatar's specialty, so that it can sell liquefied natural gas to any place in need in the world through sea transportation.
There is another thing in Qatar that is oil.
Although its oil reserves cannot even enter the top ten in the world, it has become a very rich country with the two most intimate resources in the world, oil and natural gas.
The wealth of Qatar is different from Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia, the gap between the rich and the poor is often particularly large, and ordinary people cannot enjoy the dividends brought by too many resources .
In Qatar, the average annual per capita income of ordinary people reached RMB 980,000 as early as 2006, ranking first in Asia.
In terms of social welfare, not only water, electricity and gas are not enough, but also don’t need to spend a penny on studying, studying abroad, and medical services. The unemployment rate is less than 1%.
Some people say that Qatar’s wealth is the right thing to do, because Qatar does not have much population. A country’s real Qatari people are less than 400,000, and it is not even as large as our small county town, and it also has a large amount of resources.
But this does not mean that you can definitely be rich.
For example, Venezuela has the world's number one oil reserves, but the people are poor.
and Russia, although it has the world's number one natural gas reserves, GDP is almost the same as Guangdong, my country.
The key reason why Qatar can be rich in the whole people is Hamad and his wife Moza.
They had long realized that resources would be exhausted sooner or later, so Qatar established a consortium and began to invest all over the world. Carta's assets are almost everywhere in the world.
Qatar is the largest shareholder behind German Volkswagen. It owns 20% of the equity in London Heathrow Airport, and acquires Italian luxury brand Valentino.
The funders behind the Paris Club are also Qatar. Ibrahimovic, Di Maria, Messi , Brazilian core Neymar , and French golden boy Mbappe, all of which were or are still its employees.
UK, Russia, the United States, Japan... There are countless industries and assets that are potential investments or purchase targets of Qatar.
2022 Qatar World Cup is the most expensive in the history of the World Cup. In order to successfully host this World Cup, Qatar has spent US$229 billion, which is about 1.5 trillion yuan, and has also built a city for the World Cup.
It does not calculate the economic account. What Qatar wants is to expand its international influence through the World Cup.
At the same time, Qatar also encourages foreign workers to come to Karta for employment. The total population of Qatar is about 2.658 million. The real Qatar people only have less than 400,000, of which 85% are foreign population. Qatar's economic growth has also relied heavily on foreign workers.
