Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 217 Extraordinary Vision
However, Tang Huan quickly remembered that the Prince Fahd in front of him was a remarkable person.

In the original time and space, almost all of his identities were related to sports, with countless titles. The most famous one is that he became the chairman of the Olympic Council of Asia in 1982.

Prince Fahd, who had a military career and even participated in the third Middle East war, had a more heroic ending in his life. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, he finally died in the bloody battle to defend the palace, which is regarded as maintaining Kuwait. Some face of the royal family.

Another famous thing about this person is his interference with the referee during the group match between Kuwait and France in the first round of the 1982 World Cup in Spain.

At that time, France was leading 3:1. Before the end of the game, French midfielder Alan Guireser scored another goal, but the Kuwaiti players thought that the referee Miroslav Stupar from the Soviet Union blew the final whistle, so they stopped running. Moved, resulting in a conceded goal.

But in fact, the sound came from the whistle of the audience in the stands, and the game was not over yet.

As a result, Prince Fahd, the chairman of the Kuwait Football Association and the brother of the Crown Prince of Kuwait, rushed into the field to negotiate with the referee.

The fun came when the referee finally changed his decision and ruled that the goal was invalid. France eventually won the game 3:1.

Later, after investigation, FIFA decided that France's goal before the end of the game was valid, and the result of the game was changed to France's 4:1 victory.

The Soviet referee was completely tragic. He was accused of making mistakes in law enforcement, and he will no longer be able to law enforcement football games.

As for Prince Fahd, he was fined 10000 US dollars, but the question is, does the prince care about this money?

In view of the adverse impact of this matter, FIFA subsequently made a regulation that no one is allowed to enter the field and argue with the referee to change the referee's decision.

There are so many episodes in international sports events, because political factors are entangled in them. There are many examples of West Asian football teams teaming up to defeat East Asian football teams, and vice versa. But if you strive for your own success, you can be as strong as the French football team. Strong, 3:1 or 4:1 to win the opponent, there is no difference in essence.

From these cases, it is not difficult to see that Prince Fahd should belong to the type of temperamental person, and at the same time, there is a hot element in his personality.

When others saw Prince Fahd, they would only think of the wealth of the Sabah family, the royal family of Kuwait behind him, but Tang Huan discovered another business opportunity.

In the original time and space, after Kuwait was annexed by Iraq, the multinational forces under the leadership of the United States launched a rapid counterattack. Outsiders just saw that the US military put a large number of high-tech weapons into actual combat for the first time, demonstrating its overwhelming superiority in air and electromagnetic control.

But don't forget, the intense air strikes launched by "Operation Desert Storm", thousands of attacks every day, and every guided bomb, cluster bomb, air bomb and cruise missile thrown out cost a lot of dollars.

From official data alone, the war expenditure calculated by the U.S. Congress is 611 billion U.S. dollars, of which Germany and Japan paid 160 billion U.S. dollars, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries paid 360 billion U.S. dollars, but about 25% Saudi Arabia's payments for [-] were in the form of services, supplies and transportation of troops.

The royal family of Kuwait, who is on the run, obviously does not have such conditions, and they must come up with real money.

You must know that before being annexed by Iraq, Kuwait was under the absolute rule of the Sabah family. If they want to maintain their former glory and wealth after the war, they must do bloodletting, and the source of funds is tens of billions of global investments.

As for the 21st century, those small countries in the Middle East like Kuwait with a small land area and no strategic depth, but because of their sudden wealth from oil, they have also followed suit, waving checks to buy and buy everywhere, and they are nicknamed human beings. A fool with a lot of money.

But if you really think so, then you will lower your IQ, and people also have their own political considerations.

The current Emir of Kuwait, Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, also known as Jaber III, served as the Minister of Finance as early as the 1977s before he succeeded to the throne in 1960, and was responsible for the establishment and issuance of Kuwait's new currency, the dinar, and Utilizing oil revenue for foreign investment and other important matters.

Tang Huan has always wanted to build an ideal fab that is different from his peers at the present stage. Unfortunately, the investment in this thing is too risky. He is worried about falling into a pit and being dragged into the quagmire and he will not move forward. Now he finds that he has the opportunity to contact the rich man in the Middle East Naturally, my mind came alive.

Logically speaking, Tang Huan and Prince Fahd, who each lived a wealthy life, are really at odds in their career trajectories, but the Sabah family, in addition to actively investing globally, has also increased Kuwait’s wealth through sports as a means of communication. The influence of the royal family, Prince Fahd will bear such a heavy responsibility.

At present, his main position in sports is the chairman of the Asian Games Federation since 1979.

This organization will be changed to the Asian Olympic Council in 1981, namely the Olympic Council of Asia, headquartered in Kuwait.

The IMF's funds mainly come from the shares subscribed by member countries.The share of each member country is determined by the organization based on economic indicators such as national income, gold and foreign exchange reserves, import and export trade volume, and export volatility.

The greater the share of a member state, the greater the voting rights it enjoys.

In other words, whoever pays more has a louder voice.

Prince Fahd is the chairman of this organization and, also in 1981, became a member of the International Olympic Committee.

These positions were successively succeeded by his son Prince Sheikh Ahmed Sabah after Prince Fahd died in the war in 1990.

Therefore, now Prince Fahd is accumulating contacts and actively preparing for his position and influence in various international sports organizations, and Tang Huan, the best speculator who is best at taking advantage of the situation, has fallen into his eyes.

Tang Huan did not feel guilty about this. He was now Samaranch's investment advisor. From a purely personal relationship perspective, he could indeed play a role in connecting people.

During the chat, Tang Huan seemingly inadvertently mentioned the name of Boss Huo, who has been gaining sports reputation in recent years. Prince Fahd said happily: "Huo and I are good friends. In this way, everyone's The relationship is very close."

Tang Huan laughed. He could sense from this sentence that the trust between the two parties had obviously jumped a little.

Next, the scope of their topics naturally expanded, and private information could also be exchanged, so Tang Huan talked about his main business, the boss of an IT company.

"I was invited to Moscow this time. In addition to satisfying my sports hobbies, I also developed the company's game console and personal computer business. It's a balance between public and private."

"It turns out that the game products in the Olympic Village Entertainment Center were developed by your company." Prince Fahd suddenly smiled.

Tang Huan estimated that if he directly sells game consoles to the other party, there is a high chance that he will be declined, and Fangyuan Computer may not be able to do well, so he focused on introducing the unlimited business opportunities in this industry.

When Tang Huan finished the party and returned to the hotel, he was blocked at the door by reporters who had been prepared.

Because he had to rely on them to increase his reputation, Tang Huan stopped to answer a few questions.But it was obvious that he was here to inquire about gossip, and wanted to find out which woman he had a crush on.

Of course, Tang Huan is not that big-mouthed, but the reporters’ wisdom is infinite. They asked Tang Huan to predict the results of tomorrow’s women’s individual all-around competition, so that they could use their imagination.

After pondering for a while, Tang Huan started his divine prediction, "Based on my feeling, the top three should be Yelena Davydova from the Soviet Union, Max Signauk from East Germany, and Nadia Comane from Romania. strange."

"On what basis did you make such a judgment?" Tang Huan looked very confident, and the reporters couldn't help but be curious.

"Of course I have observed it. My vision is not limited to shopping malls." Tang Huan had a look of pride on his face.

The reporter felt a little uncomfortable with Tang Huan's condescending look, so he asked with evil intentions: "Then who do you think will win the gold medal?"

I'm not stupid enough to offend anyone. These days, Olympic gold medals are all tied to political tasks.

Tang Huan, who hummed in his heart, smiled without saying a word, turned and walked into the hotel.

After the reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't know who took the lead and said, "This way, we can also communicate with each other", which caused the crowd to disperse.

Although it was getting late, a staff member sent by Ivanov was still waiting diligently for Tang Huan. It turned out that the Soviet Union planned to invite him to give a series of technical lectures in several universities.

Tang Huan looked at the document, and the reply he gave was that he was willing to spend the morning to try it in Moscow. As for other cities, due to the schedule, I would like to thank you for not being sensitive.

On the second day, Tang Huan, who had fulfilled his promise, flipped through the latest non-Soviet newspapers he picked up from the hotel on the road. He couldn't help raising his eyebrows. It turned out to be the British "Sun".

"It's amazing that this kind of newspaper can be sent here across the ocean." Tang Huan muttered sanctimoniously, and first admired the famous "Third Edition Girl" before going to other newspapers. content.

But not long after, Tang Huan almost spit out blood because "The Sun" made fun of him.

In such a large page, Tang Huan's photo is in the middle, and the surrounding is like a beauty pageant, with photos of famous female gymnasts in the Moscow Olympics lined up, so as to analyze which beauty he might be interested in and swear by He pushed Nelligin and Comanech to the first place, and added with glee that one of them was a married woman.

I wonder how this page looks like the routine used by gossip newspapers in the previous life after Brother Li Guanxi caused chaos in the world.

Tang Huan threw the "Sun" aside with a snap, and rubbed the center of his brows with a headache. Media hype is such a double-edged sword, and it is impossible for all dynamics to develop according to their own presets.

Fortunately, the following university technology lecture had a simple atmosphere and did not require so much thinking. Tang Huan's technical master skills made the students feel overwhelmed. After all, a capable person can easily make people awe and obey no matter where he goes. Following the current mainstream public opinion in the Soviet Union, I chatted with everyone about the Moscow Olympics for a few words, and the event was completed easily and happily.

When Tang Huan finished his official business and came to the Lenin Central Stadium, he happened to catch up with a wonderful part of the women's gymnastics individual all-around event. Comaneci, who had made a mistake and fell down in the uneven bars event in the preliminaries, today A 10 was awarded for the uneven bars event, which was the only perfect score of the day.

But just like the original time and space, Yelena Davydova played more stably, scoring at least 9.900 points in each individual item, while Comaneci scored the lowest 9.750 points, and Gnauk only scored 9.700 points. This gap is not just Relying on that 10 points will be able to catch up.

When it was the last event for the players, Davydova scored 9.950 points by virtue of her wonderful performance on the uneven bars and jumped to the first place with a total score of 79.150 points.

This surprised the audience. You must know that Davydova has no record of participating in international competitions before. She was only a substitute in the 1978 World Championships. Big hits, there's no comparison.

For this result, the audience in the Soviet Union was naturally rejoicing, and the current situation has become clear. The only challenger is Comaneci. As long as she can get a score of 9.925 or more in the last event, she will be able to compete. over Davydova.

For some viewers who like to see the ending of the family carnival, they still hope that the "Queen of Gymnastics" Comaneci can have a perfect ending as he wishes in the last Olympic Games of his career.

I don’t know if it was because of too much pressure in his heart. In his last event, the balance beam, there was a small pause in the connection of movements and a small step in the descent. It was almost impossible to win. To such a high score.

The audience in the Soviet Union is already preparing to cheer.

However, the final results have yet to be announced.

It turned out that there was a huge split among the referees, with the Romanian referee wanting the other referees to increase Comaneci's points so that she would win the gold medal.

This is what the Internet era called a war of violence in the previous life. Tang Huan was speechless. This is the territory of polar bears.

The referees' willfulness far exceeded everyone's expectations. More than ten minutes had passed, and there was still no dispute.

Tang Huan could imagine that the TV station that was broadcasting this game must have jumped and scolded, damn, every minute is advertising profit.

Seeing that the scene was still unrestrained, Tang Huan went to watch the men's gymnastics individual all-around for a while, and it turned out that there was also a fierce competition between the old and new champions there. Alexander Ji Jiajing, a 22-year-old college student from Leningrad, was competing with the last news The character Andrianov played against each other, and finally won and won the gold medal.

Seeing that almost half an hour passed, Tang Huan refocused on the progress of women's gymnastics. He found that the referees were giving the results. Comaneci's score was 9.850, tied for runner-up with Gnauk, and the champion belonged to the host Dawei doll.

The strength of the Soviet Union is indeed strong, and No.4 and No.5 are also its players, namely Natalia Shaposhnikova and Nelligin.

Taking advantage of the gap after the game, Tang Huan and Nelikin chatted for a while.When two people with oriental faces stand together, it is easy to develop a good impression.

"Compared with the silver medal in the women's all-around in the last Olympic Games, do you regret being ranked No. 5 this time?" Tang Huan asked with a smile.

"I already got a team gold medal yesterday, didn't I?" Nerikin replied with a smile.

At this time, several reporters gathered around Tang Huan to take pictures.

Damn it, I'm just a soy sauce guy, what are you guys going to do?

Seeing this, Tang Huan quickly gestured to Neliki and left quickly.

The evening's itinerary was still a relationship banquet. Tang Huan drank so much that he went back to the hotel and slept until the next day.

After washing up, he remembered that the half-hour quarrel between the referees yesterday would definitely attract criticism from the media, so he found a newspaper and read it while eating breakfast.

Sure enough, the Romanian media reacted the most fiercely. The Spark even directly published an article titled "Tailing the Spirit of the Olympic Games", accusing "the referees of brutally trampling on sports ethics and the spirit of the Olympic Games, taking away the Olympic Games in full view of the public." won her (Comaneci) gold medal.”

Tang Huan shook his head speechlessly, buddy, can we still play happily together? I can't think about it like you. In the original time and space, so many gold medals in China have been hacked, and I have to shout out my throat.

It stands to reason that Romania and the Soviet Union belong to the Warsaw Pact camp, so there is no need to fight so fiercely, but this is not the case.

During World War II, Romania participated in the Nazi Alliance of Germany, Italy, and Japan, but its troops suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Stalingrad.

By 1944, the Soviet Red Army entered Romania, a new regime emerged, and then joined the anti-German war.

But as long as there is a clear understanding of the Soviet diplomatic methods, the collaborators must be on guard.

At this stage, Romania is in the period of Ceausescu's administration. It deliberately keeps a distance from the Soviet Union politically and diplomatically, but in fact, its autonomy, especially economic autonomy, is quite limited.

One of the manifestations of Romania's autonomy is its good relationship with China.During the Sino-Soviet feud, it has always maintained a friendly relationship with China, and it is the only country in Eastern Europe that does not have an enemy with China.

It is precisely because of this distant relationship that Romania competes unceremoniously with the Soviet Union in terms of sports performance.In the final analysis, it is still due to political considerations.

Tang Huan continued to browse the newspapers and found reports that paid homage to him, saying that he had an extraordinary vision and predicted the results of the competition so accurately that he did not miss the dark horse Yelena Davydova. If he had known it earlier, In this case, it would be better to find a bookmaker to place your bet at that time.

These reporters were so smart. Tang Huan regretted it so much that he almost slapped his thigh. This was indeed an investment method. Although the income may not be much, fly legs are also meat. It would be good to earn some milk powder money for the babies.
