Welcome to Dubai, captain. I hope your business here is going well. I see you are busy unloading cargo from your ships. Please, visit me once you are done. I have something I want to discuss. |
| 2 |
I have heard only good things about you so I am here to extend an offer of cooperation. We are building a new port in Dubai. This is a resource-heavy endeavor. |
| 3 |
We are currently in Port Rashid. You might have noticed the capacity is not sufficient for all the shipping lines using it as a transfer terminal. We have to store containers further inland already. |
| 4 |
That’s why I decided to build a new port in Dubai. Port Rashid will remain the terminal for cruises and passenger lines. Most cargo shipping will be transferred to the new port of Jebel Ali. |
| 5 |
We have already picked a spot for the new port and the shipping of materials has begun. We still need a lot of construction materials so you can take care of the metal shipments. |
| 6 |
The construction machines can be pretty expensive, so I decided to rent most of them. The renting office will send them over once we pay the agreed-upon fee. |
| 7 |
While you took care of the construction machines, I hired the staff. The first workers will arrive tomorrow. We still need to ensure they have all the necessary equipment. |
| 8 |
The construction began today, and the site is full of workers. Everything is proceeding according to plan. Let’s ensure our workers have a filling lunch to keep up the excellent work. |
| 9 |
Ultimately, I plan to develop this desert area into an industrial zone. We are starting with the port, but an airport, a new container yard, and a whole town will follow soon. |
| 10 |
Unfortunately, I can’t oversee the construction. I have other things to take care of so I will leave this task to you. But please inform me of all the essential details. Let’s stay in contact via radio. |
| 11 |
How are the works proceeding? I hope when we finish, we can compete with the large shipping terminals in East Asia. But we still need tons of materials and months of hard work to get there. |
| 12 |
We need to speed things up a bit. Do we have enough workers? I still have some finances for additional personnel. Just hire some capable men, so we finish the construction on time. |
| 13 |
We are ordering shipping containers for the port already. They will be produced in China. We can also save some costs by delivering the raw materials. |
| 14 |
The containers are ready to be picked up from the Chinese factory. Can you send your fleet for them? I will make sure the construction is proceeding smoothly here. |
| 15 |
You are back! Do you remember how I said I have enough money to pay the workers? Well, some unexpected expenses came up. I will need to get a loan to pay the wages. |
| 16 |
We will finish the central part of the port soon. Then, we can open for the first ships to arrive next week. In the meantime, you can deliver materials for the rest of the port area. |
| 17 |
The port workers are ready for their first shift. Let’s give out the safety helmets, and we can open up the port. Without proper attire, we can’t allow them on site. It can be dangerous work. |
| 18 |
We will be giving tax and port fee exceptions for the first few years to attract more shipping lines. I want to get as many lines as possible to set up a logistic center in Jebel Ali. |
| 19 |
We need to build refrigerated warehouses for food cargo. Yesterday, a large vessel arrived needing to unload fresh fruit and vegetables, and we had to send them away. |
| 20 |
The traffic is coming slowly to Jebel Ali port. We will be opening terminals soon, yet not even Terminal 1 is fully used at the moment. I will call you when I figure out how to solve this. |
| Final |
I almost forgot! Here is your payment. And thank you for the good work. |
