got offered The Job, Klaus Kleinfeld from the Saudi crown Prince, was to surpass in gigantomania. A whole city was created by the Ex-Siemens-chief in the desert: the 500 billion Dollar Budget, of 26,500 square kilometers, an area as large as Hessen, completely supplied from renewable energy sources, with an industrial Park, in the almost only robots can work.
“Neom” is the name of the Phantasia of rampage at Apache wells, Mohammed bin Salman, to the new future. The Job offer was tempting for Kleinfeld, the former Cosmopolitan and Dealmaker, had been made neither in the corruption affair at Siemens, in a mud battle with his future employer, Alcoa is a good figure.
