NEW YORK Uomo Nike Air Max 97 Ultra Italia Scarpe Air Max 97 Nere , Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Online retailer Amazon said Thursday that it plans to open a second company headquarters in North America, which will be a full equal to its Seattle headquarters.
The company plans to invest more than five billion U.S. dollars in construction and expects the second headquarters to create as many as 50,000 high-paying jobs.
In choosing the location, Amazon said it has a preference for metropolitan areas with more than one million people, a stable and business-friendly environment, urban or suburban locations with the potential to attract and retain strong technical talent Acquistare Uomo Nike Air Max 97 Premium Scarpe Blu Grigie , and communities that think big and creatively when considering locations and real estate options.
The company added that the location does not have to be an urban or downtown campus; a similar layout to Amazon's Seattle campus; or a development-prepped site.
"Amazon HQ2 will bring billions of dollars in up-front and ongoing investments, and tens of thousands of high-paying jobs. We're excited to find a second home," Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO, said in a statement.
Amazon estimates that its investments in Seattle from 2010 through 2016 resulted in an additional 38 billion U.S. dollars to the city's economy.

YINCHUAN Donna Nike Air Max 97 GS Valentines Day Offerta Scarpe Rosa Bianche , Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- Yahya Jabri, chairman of a China-Oman industrial park, is briefing investors on Oman's sound business environment at a trade and investment expo in northwest China.
"As a WTO member, we have rolled out a string of favorable policies for investment. Besides oil, we enjoy an advantageous location, a good deepwater port Scarpe Nike Air Max 97 OG UNDFTD Undefeated Sail Speed Rosse Bianche Saldi , and complete ship-repairing facility," Jabri says. "Goods transported via Duqm will reach 22 million tonnes in the next decade ... The country will be the gate of North Africa." Oman welcomes more Chinese entrepreneurs to set up joint ventures or solely foreign-owned businesses, he says.
Although still under construction, Jabri's industrial zone is expected to be an exemplary project in China-Arab industrial cooperation. With the foundation stone laid in April, it is designed to develop into a logistics center, commercial harbor and tourist site for the Arabian Sea Scarpe Uomo Nike Air Max 97 2017 Retro Rosse Miglior Prezzo , covering an area of nearly 1,200 hectares in coastal Duqm.
Investment agreements worth 3.8 billion U.S. dollars were signed between companies of the two sides.
"Total capital poured in will amount to 11 billion dollars in 10 years, and 12,000 jobs will be created for local people," Jabri says.
From the Gulf of Suez in Egypt to Jazan of Saudi Arabia, similar projects were sprouting in Arab countries. After years of stable trade in crude and other goods Offerta Uomo Nike Air Max 97 2017 Retro Scarpe Bianche , the two sides have moved to channel more energy into capacity and technology transfers to forge closer economic ties and reap bigger mutual benefits.
"With huge market potential and unique natural resources, Arab economies are complementary to China," says Chen Zhou, vice president of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. "The new cooperation not only allows China to give full play to its competitive industries but helps Arab countries improve infrastructure and build a more sophisticated economic structure."
Abdulrahman al-Saleh, adviser to the Minister of Housing of Saudi Arabia, said he backed such cooperation as it met the needs of the country to transform the economy. Saudi Arabia released an ambitious plan last year to wean off reliance on oil Offerta Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Argento Bianche Scarpe Uomo , and to develop education, the arms industry, real estate and tourism.
At the ongoing China-Arab States Expo held in Yinchuan, capital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, 22 contracts on industrial capacity cooperation were signed to pour 17.1 billion yuan (more than 2.5 billion U.S. dollars) into projects ranging from infrastructure to textile and food processing in countries including Oman, United Arab Emirates and Iraq.
Besides traditional projects on energy and resources Nike Air Max 97 2017 Retro Argento Saldi Scarpe Uomo , Chinese and Arab businesses have started to explore more sectors, such as chemical industry, telecommunication and manufacturing, says Li Shaotong, an official of the Ministry of Commerce.
The global drive of China's high tech sectors, including equipment manufacturing and clean energy Offerta Scarpe Uomo Nike Air Max 97 2017 Retro Oro , is promising, Chen says.
Driven by robust industrial cooperation, China-Arab investment is surging. A total of 1.1 billion U.S. dollars of non-financial direct investment was made by Chinese companies in Arab states in 2016, up 74.9 percent year on year.
China has signed agreements on industrial capacity cooperation with 37 countries around the world, including Arab countries, says Liu Xia Scarpe Uomo Nike Air Max 97 2017 Retro Marina Blu Italia , an official of the National Development and Reform Commission.
By the end of 2016, two Chinese policy banks had issued loans worth 110 billion U.S. dollars for overseas corporate investment along the Belt and Road, and Chinese banks had set up 62 branches in 26 countries.
Running until Saturday, the four-day biennial expo is a significant platform for China and Arab countries to bolster ties.
