Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 755 I Can Only Compare This
……

In fact, Juan Carlos I, the king of Spain, is not so difficult to approach. He can be seen at the dinner of the rich in the United States.

For example, after the billionaire Ross Perot took a stake in NeXT, he brought Jobs in and out of another level of business circles and elite social circles to make up for the lack of connections. Gordon Getty, the runner-up of The Billboard, hosted a formal dinner in honor of King Juan Carlos I in San Francisco.

At that time, Jobs sat down with the Spanish king and chatted for a long time. However, it was useless except for an extra bragging capital. Now the NeXT computer still cannot be sold, and a beautifully arranged building is vacant. factory.

Juan Carlos I, who had just passed his 51st birthday, is still alive and well with his father, Prince Juan.

However, after the Spanish royal family was restored in 1947, the dictator Franco refused to allow the liberal Prince Juan to succeed to the throne and instead appointed himself regent, thus leaving the throne of the monarch vacant.

Until 1969, Franco surpassed Prince Juan and personally designated the other's eldest son, Juan Carlos, as his heir, and the "Prince of Spain" was born in this way.

After the death of Franco in 1975, for the stability of the country, Prince Juan announced his renunciation of the status of legal heir under the need of political compromise, and Juan Carlos successfully became the king of Spain.

After successfully dismantling the 1981 military coup that was most likely to divide and bloody the country since the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s, Juan Carlos I, who proved his talents, has maintained a very high standard in the country. popularity.

Juan Carlos I, who has emerged in this environment, naturally has the wisdom of political compromise-if he is extreme, he will not be able to make it to today.

Therefore, with the coordination of Samaranch, the atmosphere between Tang Huan and the other party was very friendly and pragmatic.

The 1980s is coming to an end, and in the more than ten years of the turbulent development of personal computers with a strong imprint of Tang Huan, it is obvious to all that the high technology represented by IT has promoted the economic development of a country.

In this field, Tang Huan is already an unavoidable existence, and he is qualified to demand credible respect from any party that wants to deal with him.

The topic of the two started with the Spanish members participating in the Arctic scientific expedition team, and then talked about the famous Spanish football.

Samaranch suggested that the richest man still has a League One championship team under his command. Why not find a time to socialize with the club in Spain, and Juan Carlos I agreed immediately.

It has to be said that as long as we are sincere, there is no difference that cannot be bridged.

At the end of the meeting, Juan Carlos I invited the richest man to visit Spain after returning from the North Pole victory, and the two sides would discuss further in detail.

For this result, all parties including Samaranch, the middleman, are deeply satisfied.

However, compared to this kind of tentative contact, when Tang Huan, his uncle Han Anyuan, and Prince Fahd of Kuwait sat together, they talked about dry things.

Prince Fahd, who is the chairman of the Asian Olympic Council, stated very simply that he would support Funan's bid to host the No.1998 Asian Games in 13.

As early as 1984 at the Olympic Council of Asia Congress held in Seoul, South Korea, China BJ defeated rival RB Hiroshima by a vote of 43 to 22 and won the right to host the No. 1990 Asian Games in 11.

The Olympic Council of Asia made a pioneering move, that is, for the first time announced the venue of the two Asian Games at the same time - China BJ won the right to host the 1990 Asian Games, and RB Hiroshima was also awarded the 1994 Asian Games right to host.

With this overall situation decided early, the earliest Asian Games that Funan could apply for was the No. 1998 Asian Games in 13.According to the procedures of the Olympic Council of Asia, the voting meeting to decide who will host the Asian Games will have to wait until next year, that is, the second half of 1990.

In fact, from another perspective, this timing is still very good.Although the richest man who wanted to conduct a social experiment invested heavily in Funan, turning money into physical objects requires a process.With such buffers in place, Funan can prepare in an orderly manner.

However, before voting, the Executive Committee of the Olympic Council of Asia will conduct a comprehensive inspection of each bidding city to determine its willingness to vote.

Therefore, Funan has to make preparations early, otherwise, he may be eliminated directly in the elimination stage.

After all, as the "Olympic boom" is obvious to all, the value of the Intercontinental Games has also risen. It is not comparable to the indifferent situation in Vietnam that could not afford the cost and gave up easily in the original time and space more than ten years later.

After pointing out the preferences of the Olympic Council of Asia Executive Committee during the inspection, Prince Fahd said thoughtfully: "From the current situation, Thailand, Indonesia, and Taiwan are interested in bidding to host the No. 13 Asian Games. . Objectively speaking, compared with them, Funan's comprehensive strength has no advantage."

Han Anyuan sincerely introduced: "Most of the first five-year development plan of Funan has passed, and the existing problems have been basically sorted out, and a solid foundation has been laid; it is foreseeable that in the next second According to the five-year development plan, Funan will enter the fast lane of development. We are confident that we will create an economic development miracle belonging to Funan. There is no doubt that hosting the [-]th Asian Games will bring great opportunities to Funan, just like last year The Seoul Olympics is the same as the development of South Korea. After creating this successful model, the authority of the Asian Games and the Olympic Council of Asia will inevitably be further enhanced."

Speaking of this, Han Anyuan secretly gave his nephew a wink, signaling him to continue to help lobby, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to be distracted and didn't respond at all.

Prince Fahd smiled, "I just want to offer an alternative suggestion. If Funan can't win the trust of the Executive Committee of the Olympic Council of Asia, it is better to consider postponing the session to 2002, or to jointly organize it with other partners. You must know that the road to bid is not smooth, and if the competition is complicated, you can only rely on strength to break through."

Tang Huan, who just thought of the No.1998 Asian Games in 13, but had to overcome the 1997 Asian financial crisis in the original time and space, and the variables should not be underestimated, had recovered by this time, coughed lightly and said: "Competitors Among them, Baodao can pass directly, just a cutscene, it does not have the energy to do this; Thailand, if I remember correctly, has held three Asian Games, it should be taken for granted Give more opportunities to others; Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, which also hosted the Asian Games, may not be able to compare with the ever-changing city of Hanoukville. As long as there is a target, I believe that the bid to host the No.13 Asian Games has a great chance of winning .”

Prince Fahd laughed loudly, "The point of your method is to kick out other competitors first and make Funan the only choice, not how convincing Funan's strength has reached."

A playful look flashed in Tang Huan's eyes, "I am confident that when the 1998 Asian Games were held in Funan, many people would feel lucky."

Seeing that the richest man, the super-big benefactor, was so supportive of Funan's bid to host the Asian Games, Prince Fahd stopped taking vaccinations. He had already seen the other party's strategizing, so there was no need to question it boringly.

……

After seeing off Prince Fahd, Han Anyuan patted his chest and confidently reiterated to his nephew: "Judging from the current economic development situation in Funan, the work of hosting the No. 13 Asian Games will be allocated to the capital and The port of Hanoukville in the special zone will definitely complete the task satisfactorily."

Tang Huan's statement was more direct and rude, "If I can't even hold a lively Asian Games, my position as the richest man for so many years will be in vain."

"Actually, Funan's engine has already started, you just need to refuel, and you don't have to worry about maintenance anymore." Han Anyuan explained.

"Uncle, your thinking is still too idealistic. If there is a sudden economic crisis, can you still be so sure?" Tang Huan hit the other party in a joking way.

"With Funan's level of development, the economic crisis probably doesn't bother to patronize it." Han Anyuan shook his head disapprovingly.

"No matter what, part of my funds have to go around Funan, leaving some odds, which is enough for you to start infrastructure construction." Tang Huan said leisurely.

Indeed, Funan under his control has also become an excellent cover for Tang Huan, the biggest speculator, or to use the inappropriate metaphor-"money laundering tool" to describe it, it is easier to understand-passing through Guibao, It is reasonable to leave some incense money.

……

After intensively contacting some of the dignitaries from various countries gathered in RB, Tang Huan inspected the progress of retreating from the RB stock market calmly.

Tang Wenmao, the most trusted representative of family interests, was specially arranged to watch over here.He murmured reluctantly: "The Nikkei average is still rising. Breaking through the 40000 mark is really not bragging."

"When you realize that the situation is not good, it will be too late if you want to leave. I would rather earn less, and our actions must be half a beat faster than guys like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley." Tang Huan laughed and cursed, his expression He asked seriously, "When I leave RB in a few days, can I withdraw half of it?"

"In order to deceive people as much as possible, the progress is a little slower, and it is estimated to be [-]%." Tang Wenmao shook his head, "When you leave for the North Pole, you should be able to achieve this goal."

"Not bad." Tang Huan nodded affirmatively, "Remember, when I return from the North Pole, at most [-]% of the RB stock market will be left. At that time, I may encounter some troubles and only have a lot of cash. It is my most reliable weapon."

……

It was already March when Tang Huan arrived in the United States again.

Bush had already completed his first trip to Asia since taking office, visiting China, Japan and South Korea, and returned to the White House.

It seems that everything is as usual, very calm.

Just after taking a shower and changing his clothes, Tang Huan heard the news of "angry as a shit stick" from his assistant, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

It turned out that on March 3, not long ago, after a long period of mutual affection, Time Group and WarnerMedia, the lovers, finally blossomed and announced that the two parties planned to merge to form Time Warner Corporation.

Industry observers commented positively on this, believing that this is a perfect marriage of complementary advantages.

But this action attracted the hatred of Paramount. As for the reason, it is also very simple. Originally, it was just worse than the combined total of United Artists, MGM, [-]th Century Fox and other Hollywood companies of Yanle Entertainment Group under Tang Huan. So a little; but the emergence of Time Warner will clearly threaten its current position.

Originally, Paramount thought that Tang Huan, who was the first to be affected, would react violently to this menacing threat, and the other party sold out Columbia Pictures, and then sold Pebble Beach Golf Course. When cash is abundant, it is fully capable of giving a head-on blow.

Unexpectedly, Mr. the richest man had nothing to do with this, and he looked on with a cold eye. It really made people wonder what he was thinking in his heart.

Seeing that Time Warner has collapsed, business tycoon Steve Ross has also become the co-CEO of this new behemoth. With his skill, it will not take long for him to monopolize power. There will be no partners to cooperate with him to play the game. Paramount, unable to remain calm anymore, suddenly jumped out and built a towering wall of US$122 billion between Time Group and Warner Media to prevent the merger of the two parties.

In Tang Huan's view, although this kind of shit-stirring drama is difficult to succeed, it is interesting enough--the ambitious Steve Ross jumped around cursing while raising money everywhere to deal with it. This sudden change.

"I'm leaving." Jodie Foster, who asked for lipstick from Tang Huan, said coolly, and left straight away. Even when she met Ted Turner at the door, she still looked as usual .

"I have to admire your ability to deal with women. Just Brooke Shields. A woman with a high IQ like Jodie Foster can actually be taught to be so well-behaved by you." Ted Turner He sighed in admiration.

"A big shot like you is so boring and gossiping, don't you think it's a drop in price?" Of course Tang Huan would not tell the other party that he had become a helpless Judy Fosse as early as the turmoil of Reagan's assassination case. A "spiritual mentor" who maintains special emotions.

"If you don't say this, how can I compare with you about money?" Ted Turner replied angrily: "Now we can only compare with this. If this little beauty really wins the Best Actress at this Oscar, Even this is incomparable.”
