Zayd Al-Maktoum paced the sleek marble floor of his palace penthouse, Dubai's skyline a glittering mosaic beyond the glass. The city pulsed with ambition—Porsches roared through Sheikh Zayed Road, drones hummed with luxury deliveries, and the Burj Al Arab shimmered like a desert mirage. Six days into his rebirth from Zhang Wei, a noodle-delivery nobody, to a Dubai prince, Zayd had a $150,000 stake in *GreenCycleAI*, a Smart Water Bottle dominating global gyms, a Smart Irrigation System greening farms, a Solar-Powered Delivery Drone soaring through dunes, and a Holographic Retail Kiosk revolutionizing malls. But his cousin Khalid's schemes were as persistent as sand in a thobe, and the [Infinite Tycoon System]'s latest quest was pushing Zayd to conquer new horizons.
*Ding!* The holographic smartphone flared to life, its glow clashing with the morning light. The system's voice, slick as a souk dealmaker, buzzed in Zayd's head: *"New Quest: Deploy OasisTech in a major Saudi project by July 2, 2025, 12:00 PM GST. Reward: Blueprint for Quantum Data Storage (1,000x faster processing, unhackable encryption, cloud-integrated). Penalty: You judge a camel beauty pageant at the Riyadh Season Festival, and those humps don't play, host. Time left: 6 days, 3 hours. Step one: Pitch to Saudi Aramco's sustainability board in Riyadh tomorrow, June 27, 2:00 PM GST. Alert: Khalid's meeting Aramco execs to undermine you."*
Zayd's qahwa cup trembled. "A camel pageant? I'd rather wrestle a falcon in a sandstorm."
*"Focus, host,"* the system quipped. *"Aramco's green initiative needs your Smart Irrigation System for their desert reclamation project. Your kiosks sold 5,000 units in Dubai Mall—#OasisTechRetail's at 2M posts. The Smart Water Bottle hit 12,000 units globally, and farmers in Egypt are raving about your irrigation. But Khalid's pitching a rival system, claiming yours is unreliable. Shut him down."*
Zayd smirked. The Smart Water Bottle was a global titan—hospitals in Qatar and wellness retreats in Bali stocked it, praising its health app sync. The Smart Irrigation System was sprouting fast, with 3,000 preorders from UAE resorts and a UN demo set for July 10. The Solar-Powered Delivery Drone was delivering kits to Oman, and the Holographic Retail Kiosk had malls in Doha and London clamoring for installs, with tech blogs calling it "the future of shopping." The world was devouring his tech, but Khalid's Aramco plot could choke *OasisTech*'s Saudi dreams. Zayd called Noura, his PR genius, as he slid into his Maserati GranTurismo (password: *DesertStar77*). "Noura, Khalid's badmouthing *OasisTech* to Aramco. Can you counter?"
Noura's voice crackled with glee. "On it, boss. I'll drop a video at 4:00 PM today—Saudi farmers praising your irrigation, plus a meme of Khalid's 'rival system' as a garden hose. I'll tag Aramco's board. Want a drone flyover at their HQ?" Zayd laughed. "Make it shine like the Kaaba at night."
**June 26, 2025, 11:00 AM GST**
Zayd met his *OasisTech* team—Fatima, Hassan, and Noura—at the Dubai Tech Hub to prep the Aramco pitch. Fatima had enhanced the irrigation system's AI to predict drought patterns, while Hassan rigged a drone to demo real-time kit deliveries. The Financial Trend Predictor (Level 1) flagged a 50% surge in Saudi green projects, with Aramco seeking sustainable tech. Zayd eyed the Holographic Retail Kiosk's sales data—7,500 units sold globally, with Singapore malls ordering 50. "This could sell our irrigation kits in Riyadh," he said. Noura nodded. "I'll set up a kiosk demo at Aramco's HQ."
**June 26, 2025, 4:00 PM GST**
Noura's video hit X, showing Saudi farmers irrigating date palms with *OasisTech*, saving 65% water. The Khalid meme—a hose labeled "Khalid's Tech"—went viral, with #WaterTheFuture at 1.5M posts. The Smart Water Bottle's buzz helped, with 15,000 units sold and a Kuwaiti marathon partnering for giveaways. But Amira, Zayd's lawyer, texted: Khalid had bribed an Aramco consultant to falsify a report, due June 27, 10:00 AM GST, claiming *OasisTech*'s pipes corrode.
**June 27, 2025, 8:00 AM GST**
Zayd flew to Riyadh on a private jet, landing at King Khalid International Airport by 9:30 AM. He sent Amira's pipe sabotage footage (from Chapter 3) to Aramco's CEO, with a note: "Verify our quality." By 10:30 AM, the consultant retracted, citing "faulty data," spooked by Amira's legal threat. Zayd prepped with his team at Aramco's HQ, a steel-and-glass fortress surrounded by date palms.
**June 27, 2025, 2:00 PM GST**
The pitch was in Aramco's boardroom, a sleek space with holographic screens. Zayd, in a tailored thobe, faced the sustainability board, led by Dr. Faisal Al-Rashid, a no-nonsense engineer. Khalid sat in the corner, smirking. Zayd began: "Dr. Faisal, *OasisTech*'s Smart Irrigation System saves 65% water, doubles yields, and powers Aramco's desert reclamation. Our drones deliver kits anywhere."
Hassan flew a drone, dropping a kit onto a mock farm plot. Fatima demoed the irrigation, watering palms via app. Noura's kiosk hologram showcased sales data. Drones buzzed outside, projecting *OasisTech: Greening Saudi*. The board clapped, but Khalid interjected: "Your pipes corrode in heat." Zayd grinned. "Tested in 50°C dunes—zero corrosion. Unlike your 'hose,' Khalid." The room laughed, and Khalid's smirk faded.
Dr. Faisal nodded. "Twenty-five million riyals for a pilot in our Al-Ahsa project, 10% equity." Zayd countered, "Seven percent, and we co-develop." Faisal agreed. Deal sealed.
**June 28–July 1, 2025**
The deal sparked a media storm—Al Jazeera ran "Prince Zayd's *OasisTech* Transforms Saudi Farms," and agritech forums predicted a regional boom. The Smart Irrigation System's pilot began in Al-Ahsa, irrigating 1,000 hectares, with UN observers noting its efficiency. The Smart Water Bottle hit 20,000 units sold, with Dubai hospitals integrating it into wellness plans. The Holographic Retail Kiosk drew mall contracts in Kuwait, and the Solar-Powered Delivery Drone's 100-unit order from Qatar went viral on X, ensuring global tech digestion.
**July 2, 2025, 11:00 AM GST**
The Al-Ahsa pilot launched, with Aramco tweeting results: 70% water savings. *Ding!* The system flashed: *"Quest Complete! Blueprint downloading… Quantum Data Storage acquired. Bonus: +1,000 Tycoon Points for roasting Khalid. New Quest: Integrate OasisTech into a UAE smart city by July 10, 2025, 12:00 PM GST. Reward: Blueprint for Neural Traffic System. Penalty: You host a dune buggy race for influencers."*
Zayd high-fived his team in Riyadh. "We're not just greening deserts—we're greening futures." Fatima smirked. "My AI better get funding." Hassan added, "And my drones." Noura tweeted: *OasisTech conquers Saudi. Next: the world. #WaterTheFuture*
**July 2, 2025, 12:00 PM GST**
Flying back to Dubai, Zayd eyed the desert below, a canvas for his empire. The Quantum Data Storage—unhackable, lightning-fast—could secure *OasisTech*'s data. But Amira texted: "Khalid's pitching a rival to UAE smart city planners." Zayd wasn't Zhang Wei, dodging rain for tips. He was Prince Zayd, with a team, a Saudi deal, and a system turning sand into circuits.
