2023年10月，准备再度开启创业征程的许超，跟随霞光社中东考察项目来到沙特首都利雅得。在此之前，他已经考察了英国、欧盟、日本、东南亚等多个 区域，在全球市场寻觅商机。彼时，出海沙特热潮方兴未艾，商务考察团络绎不绝，但走马观花者十之有九，落地生根者屈指可数。但许超却在此次行程 中，发现了不可多得的商机。 在利雅得考察期间，许超一行人所居住的艾美酒店（Le Méridien Riyadh），一晚费用高达6000人民币，远超迪拜、阿布扎比的同星级酒店。这还仅是平 日的价格，在有中东 "数字达沃斯"之称的LEAP峰会举办期间，利雅得酒店入住率达 100%，酒店住宿价格甚至飙升至每晚9000美元以上，堪称一房难 求。 沙特，这一中东地区第一大经济体，正在改革开放进程之中。商业展会层出不穷、体育赛事频繁密集、对外开放大刀阔斧，吸引商旅人士接踵而至。随着 越来越多的外企将利雅得作为其中东区域中心，利雅得也越发展现出包容开放的世界主义，而人流、信息和资本的涌动汇集，必然带来房价的迅速攀升。 在这里，聚集了来自华尔街的美国金融家，寻求低税率的欧洲人，从新加坡迁徙而来的职业经理人，带着大把钞票来做贸易的印度人，送外卖的巴基斯坦 ...

当40岁的C罗为葡萄牙国家队捧起欧国联冠军奖杯，世界足坛再次见证了一位传奇球员的坚韧与不朽。 而在荣耀时刻落幕后，他却在赛后的新闻发布会上说出了一个出人意料的决定——留在利雅得胜利，继续自己的沙特联赛生涯。 这份留队的表态，在沙特联赛顶级球星逐步退场、热度冷却的当下，不仅是对其个人职业生涯的确定，更意味着这场国家体育战略中的「超级叙事」仍在 被书写。 沙特的「宏伟蓝图」从C罗开始 将时间拉回2022年末，C罗正式加盟利雅得胜利，在那一刻，沙特阿拉伯通过这位世界足坛最大牌的IP向全球宣告： 我们要成为「足球中心」。 利雅得胜利几乎是一夜之间，从亚洲二流球队变成了世界足坛焦点。C罗，也被认为是沙特足球迈向国际化的开山巨星。 数据不会说谎。 亮相仪式在全球多个电视台同步播出，C罗加盟不到一个月，利雅得胜利俱乐部Instagram粉丝从86万爆涨至1250万，沙特联赛转播权首次 卖到欧美市场，在不到一年的时间内，与130多个国家和地区达成了转播协议，是此前赛季转播权总收入的四倍。 而这还只是开始——本泽马、马内、坎特、内马尔等一批欧洲球星先后登陆中东，沙特联赛成了转会市场的超级买家。 图源：GOAL 在官方叙事中， ...

截至周二收盘，沙交所综合指数(Tadawul All Share Index)在5月份下跌了6.4%，是彭博追踪的92个股票 指数中跌幅最大的。该沙特全股指数也已连续第四个月下跌，这是自2014年以来持续下跌时间最长的一 次。这与更广泛的新兴市场指数形成了鲜明对比，后者正朝着自去年9月以来的最佳单月表现迈进，并 且是近一年来连续上涨时间最长的一次。 沙特阿拉伯股市的持续下跌预计将使其成为本月全球表现最差的股市之一，主要是由于油价的下跌引发 了人们对该国大型项目投资放缓的担忧。 目前，布伦特原油的交易价格约为每桶65美元，远低于沙特阿拉伯所期望的最低价格水平，以满足其各 项开支需求。据彭博的Ziad Daoud称，第一季度的数据表明，沙特政府需要原油价格达到每桶96美元才 能平衡预算，若将主权财富基金的国内支出计划计算在内，则需达到每桶113美元。这些价格门槛水平 均创下了至少自2016年沙特推出"2030愿景"以来的最高纪录。 Fiera Capital基金经理Dominic Bokor-Ingram表示，一些"雄心勃勃的大型项目"的启动时间可能会因资金 限制而推迟，这对他总体上对沙特股票市场的看涨观点构成了 ...
