Saudi Arabia is a wealthy country, and when it comes to Middle Easterners in red turbans and white robes, many people think that they are rich because they can make a fortune on oil.
Saudi Arabia is a monarchical country, in the early days of the establishment of this country, in order to maintain the order of the country, the king frequently married various tribes, so he married a lot of wives and gave birth to 45 sons.
It is also the reason for this old king, and now there are more than 30 million people in Saudi Arabia, and there are more than 5,000 princes alone. There is a very bad point about having so many sons, and that is the inheritance of the throne.
Therefore, in order to balance the emotions between their brothers, the old king set a rule, and he designated that the throne should be inherited among his own sons. In other words, if the elder brother dies, he will pass on his throne to his younger brother, not his descendants.
This rule of succession to the throne has also been in place in Saudi Arabia for many years, but the position of emperor has been very attractive since ancient times, so of course there are people within the Saudi royal family who are eyeing this position.
Salman Jr. Salman Jr. is the sixth son of the current Saudi king, Salman bin Abdulaziz, born in 1985, he is very ambitious and very powerful. To date, he has succeeded in taking the position of Saudi crown prince, and he is the youngest crown prince in Saudi history.
It is often reported that Salman Jr. is a profligate tyrant, but what is not known is that Salman Jr. will not only spend money, but also make money. Salman Jr. holds the power of Saudi Arabia's public investment, which plays a vital role in Saudi Arabia.
The assets of this ** are abundant, and since Salman Jr. took charge, the development of this ** has become more and more prosperous, and this ** figure can be seen behind the global science and technology circle.
Tesla, a new energy vehicle that has become very popular in recent years, also has his financial support behind it, and some old companies such as South Korea's Samsung Group also have his shares.
Salman Jr. has a keen sense of finance, and every investment can bring him good returns. His investment direction was once noticed by the world. His influence in the field of the world economy is also super strong, and the rise and fall of oil prices in the international market in recent years is also inseparable from Salman Jr.
The cultivation of Salman Sr.
Salman Jr.'s mother is the third princess Fahda, Fahda's mother's family is very powerful, and Salman Jr. has also shown strong political ideals since he was a child, so his father has focused on cultivating him since he was a child.
And little Salman's life is full of miracles, he should not have ascended to the crown prince at such an age, but he has a very competitive father Salman Sr., the old Salman is too healthy, survived one brother after another, and finally succeeded in taking over the throne at the age of 79 and becoming the new king of Saudi Arabia.
Before the elder Salman became king, he always had high expectations for this son, and when the younger Salman was 24 years old, he was entrusted with important responsibilities by his father, and he became the minister of state at the age of 29, and since then he has officially entered the core political circle of Saudi Arabia.
After the elder Salman ascended to the throne, he vividly expressed his idea of supporting his son, and since then, there has been a power struggle within Saudi Arabia.
First of all, Salman Jr. was promoted by his father again and appointed as Saudi Arabia's defense minister, and also served as Saudi Arabia's second deputy prime minister.
Despite Salman Sr.'s idea, the royal brother-in-law system still exists, and Salman Sr.'s breaking this tradition will cause a lot of reaction across the country, so he decided to cast a long line to catch big fish.
In November 2017, Salman Sr. announced that he would set up a supreme anti-corruption committee in Saudi Arabia to tackle corruption within the Saudi royal family. And the chairman of this committee is his son Salman Jr.
Become the new crown prince.

A few days later, a particularly important plane crash occurred in Saudi Arabia on the border with Yemen, and so far it is unknown whether there was a conspiracy behind the crash.
The plane that crashed was carrying a number of Saudi princes and many important Saudi political figures.
The day after the plane crashed, another Saudi prince was shot dead in the process of being arrested for corruption. So far, in just one week, the Saudi royal family has completed the transfer of power.
However, at the beginning, the old Salman still pretended to appoint his younger brother Mukelin as the new crown prince, but the old Salman's methods were very skillful.
