Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 775 Sorry for Surprised Everyone
In the camera, Tang Huan, dressed in a black suit, first shook hands with Joseph Wilson, the new US ambassador to Iraq who took office quickly, and then exchanged greetings with diplomatic envoys from other countries.

It is obvious that although the richest man came alone, he has extensive Austrian aid in Baghdad.

After the pleasantries were completed, the next thing to do was to contact Iraqi officials immediately.

All the ambassadors were worried about the long nights and dreamy dreams, and hoped that Tang Huan would finish the matter and leave as soon as possible, so they jointly made all arrangements.

Most of the people on Silicon Valley One stayed behind as guards, while the few elites and media personnel followed Tang Huan to meet Saddam Hussein.

In short, everyone has a high flame in picking up materials, and the work efficiency is very powerful, directly king to king.

As soon as they met, Saddam Hussein, who had ascended to the throne of the presidency through assassinations, coups, and purges, and personally directed many wars, wanted to display the domineering spirit he had honed for many years of bullets, bullets, and decisive killings. Give this young businessman who dared to come to the door in person a slap in the face, and asked directly: "Are you the Tang who beat my son?"

The group photos of the richest man and great people and celebrities all over the world are almost filling the whole room. I haven’t seen any scenes before. Of course, I am indifferent to the momentum coming towards me. Let's get together."

Saddam Hussein, who was choked, sneered repeatedly, "You really have nothing to worry about, you never thought that you would never be able to leave Baghdad again?"

Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, "I act in accordance with the rules and reputation, and I believe that Your Excellency the President will not violate the generally accepted rules,"

Saddam Hussein laughed arrogantly: "I will detain you and take over that plane, what can I do?"

"I don't mind tasting the essence of traditional cuisine in Iraq, but if you forcefully capture my Silicon Valley No. 82, the result will be nothing but destruction and nothing." Tang Huan corrected him very seriously: "Moreover, Iraq will be famous internationally. Even more isolated - you rule a country, and I run a consortium. We all understand that while this kind of foundation can provide great achievements, glory and wealth, it also has concerns about leaving behind the skin and leaving the hair behind. You know, the United States' Operation Desert Shield has begun, and at the same time as I arrived, the US [-]nd Airborne Division had arrived in Saudi Arabia."

"On the scale of the US military..." Saddam Hussein showed disdain, "It's not enough for my guards to fit between their teeth."

"Your Excellency the President seems to have dealt with the CIA as early as the 1960s. There is no need to waste arguing about what is going on in the United States. Let's get to the point." Impatient Tang Huan, too lazy to play tricks with the other party, asked directly : "I brought the ransom. Where is the body of Prince Fahd? I hope that after being directly crushed by the tanks, it will be respected at least."

Saddam Hussein was very annoyed to see Tang's richest man, who was famous all over the world, ignoring his interest in talking, so he said in a strange way: "Then it's as you wish, I have arranged for someone to deal with it." Now, you can talk to him about it.”

Seeing that Saddam Hussein was doing things fairly straightforwardly, Tang Huan relaxed his frown slightly.

It’s what it is, and everyone is not familiar with each other. Although there was a rift before, it is nothing compared to this transaction-Iraq, who is so poor that his eyes are red, gets rich, and he seeks peace of mind. Take what you need, and never see each other afterwards, is it worth spending so much money?
Tang Huan didn't understand why there was a kind of insidiousness in the other party's smile until he saw what Saddam Hussein said was "a special person to handle this matter".

For possible embarrassment, the richest man really has no pressure.Gein personally came to Baghdad at a huge risk, and he has already completed the proof of "stabbing a knife for a friend". If Iraq puts a lot of real money and doesn't want it, it can only return with regret, after all I have done my best, and I have a clear conscience.

However, before arriving, Tang Huan and his team had made as comprehensive a plan as possible, including a reunion with Uday.

Under the resentful eyes of the other party, Tang Huan took an exquisite box from the assistant, then gently opened it, and showed the Faberge egg given to him by the Soviet Union inside, "I remember your love for this egg." I've always had a soft spot, and from now on, it's yours."

Finally getting the treasure he had dreamed of, Uday couldn't help but pinch his legs, as if he felt that the man's ambition that had been lost when Mr. Richest Man whipped him around on the floor was back!

"In addition to the agreed ransom, I have also prepared an additional gift for you to make up for the unpleasant things that happened at the beginning." Tang Huan took out a photo from the large envelope handed over by the assistant and showed it to the other party. Explained: "These gifts cannot be bought with money, and they are even more precious than gold."

"This is the world's most advanced HIV antibody screening test equipment; this is a new drug similar to Viagra; this is the latest video camera with a WYSIWYG function; this is a video I found for you from RB , using the latest digital VCD, so clear that the cilia are fully visible..."

"The gift is very rich, and I didn't have time to take photos one by one. Fortunately, it is already exclusive to you. After the transaction is completed, you can look at it however you want!"

These things scratched Uday's itchy spots one by one. It can be said that he was dazzled and his breathing became heavier, and he quickly fell into the cannon pit of Mr. Richest Man's "sugar-coated bullets".

……

When he learned that Tang’s richest man had completed all the affairs and left Iraq smoothly in less than 24 hours, Saddam Hussein called Uday over and slapped him angrily. , scolded angrily: "You are such a worthless thing!"

Almost at the same time, Silicon Valley One arrived in Riyadh, the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia, where a huge and solemn welcome team was waiting.

Due to the special situation, some Arab traditions cannot be taken into account, so we can only act in a hurry-Prince Fahd's body was loaded and transported in the coffin prepared before.

The Kuwaiti royal family, with its country and family destroyed, attaches great importance to the return of Prince Fahd's body.Kuwait Emir Jaber III announced in front of everyone that he would hold a formal funeral for his brother after Kuwait returned to the country. This move undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Kuwaiti government-in-exile.

Saudi Arabia, facing the disaster of weapons from Iraq at any time, naturally also enthusiastically praised Prince Fahd's heroism in defending his country against foreign enemies, so as to achieve the goal of national mobilization of the whole country to defend against foreign enemies.

You must know that although the "Desert Shield" operation of the United States has already started, compared with the size of Iraq's huge army, the number of US troops arriving in Saudi Arabia is really not enough-it will take at least three months to deploy enough troops.If Saddam Hussein really went crazy and raised his troops to attack, the embroidered pillow in Saudi Arabia would really be suspended.

Regardless of the starting point, Tang Huan's welcoming back of Prince Fahd's body actually greatly boosted the morale of the Kuwaiti exiles and Saudi Arabia, so the warm reception he received can be imagined.

Jaber III expressed his position in private: "Don, let us compensate you for the ransom."

Tang Huan quickly waved his hand, and replied seriously: "I want to do something for my old friend from the bottom of my heart, and the ransom is not worth mentioning."

Jaber III sighed, "Then let's make up for it when we sell our assets."

Seeing that the exiled monarch was worried about the restoration of the country, Tang Huan encouraged: "Through the disclosure of the media, the atrocities committed by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait have been made clear to the world, and Kuwait has received the widest sympathy from the mainstream world; the output and quality of Kuwait's oil are the highest in developed countries in the West. No one wants to see the country's important strategic interests that are difficult to give up, fall into the hands of the ambitious Saddam Hussein; the United States is already taking action, and what members of Congress are arguing about is nothing more than "spending a huge military expenditure" It is a trivial question whether it is worth taking the risk of repeating the Vietnam War; the real problem facing Kuwait is time. If Iraq rules for one more day, the influence of the royal family there will be weakened. If it is delayed for too long, Even if Kuwait is liberated in the future, the status of the royal family will be full of variables.”

Tang Huan’s last reminder could be said to hit King Jaber III’s heart. He asked: “Tang, for the sake of our great friendship, please help with publicity and funds—we have already spent 1100 yuan in the United States. million dollars to set up an organization called 'Freedom for Kuwait', which needs to appear on more media channels; in addition, in the process of raising tens of billions of dollars in a short period of time, high-quality assets are often met with price cuts So embarrassing."

"I will do my best to assist the royal family to restore the country." The richest man said without hesitation.

……

Tang Huan's dizzying busyness has touched the nerves of the whole world.

Following the report, CNN quickly launched a documentary called "24 Hours" with the advancement of digital video technology, showing the difficulties, dangers, tensions, etc. to the public.

The image of a lone hero whose righteousness is insignificant to the sky has been vividly portrayed, and I don't know how many people worship him.

Seeing this scene, Hollywood, with a keen sense of smell, was inspired and began to create works with similar themes, especially the "007" series film team, which used similar materials in the original works, was even more ecstatic. No need to worry about authorization issues anymore.

Tang Huan, who has written countless IT technical articles and has literary works topping the best-selling list of popular books, naturally complied with public opinion and the advice of the consultant team, and authorized a well-known author to launch the first part of the "Silicon Valley One" series.

With all these factors in mind, one can imagine how well received Tang Huan was when he returned to the United States.

Facing thousands of media reporters at HSD Dulles International Airport, his first words were: "Sorry, I surprised everyone. I only did what I should do, and I didn't expect to cause such a big trouble because of it." .”

There is a reason why the richest man said this. "Red Wednesday" caused so much noise, how could there be no explanation?
You know, the "junk bond king" Michael Milken, who was all-powerful in the 1980s, pleaded guilty to six charges in April this year, paid a total of 11 billion US dollars for fines, compensation, and reconciliation, and he still faces 10 years of prison.

Tang Huan's first trip after arriving in the HSD Special Zone was to pay a visit to the headquarters of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Anyway, he dared to say that he really did not get any speculative benefits on "Red Wednesday".

The richest man is too sharp now, and his stature is so low. More importantly, the facts are very clear, and there is really no illegal interest involved. Therefore, after drinking a cup of coffee, he was considered by the current chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Chad Britton delivered it himself.

After seeing this scene, a large number of media reporters who were waiting outside realized what they were doing—since there was no scandal, everyone should continue to follow the general trend and praise Mr. Richest Man.

……

After getting rid of the SEC, the queen who no one can offend, Tang Huan went to the White House non-stop, had a quick meeting with Bush Sr., and then had a chat with Secretary of State James Baker.

The White House is definitely going to use force against Iraq, or else the other party will stay in Kuwait and not leave - everything that can be grabbed has been moved away, and the rest is the lifeblood of oil.But going to war needs the support of public opinion, after all, the impact of the Vietnam War still pops up from time to time.

Excuses are of course easy to find, first of all the most realistic and utilitarian card - the importance of oil to the US economy, and the long-term friendly relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia.

As a result, some anti-war activists in the United States issued an appeal for "don't exchange blood for oil", which is still quite popular.

For such talk, Tang Huan just laughed it off-of course, the audience and the opposition can say whatever they want irresponsibly, but when they come to power, the consideration of interests must be the decisive factor.The only function of all the flowery surface articles is decoration.

In addition, according to the past style, when Uncle Sam wields a big stick, he will definitely drag a group of followers behind him to cheer.

Seeing that Tang Huan was working so righteously for the Kuwaiti royal family, James Baker planned to ask him to take advantage of his rising reputation to continue to exert his influence and help form an alliance to support the Kuwaiti royal government.

So far, the alliance has roughly included Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Honduras, Italy, Kuwait, Morocco, the Netherlands, Niger, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Korea, Spain, Syria, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and more than 30 willing countries.

A country with strong financial resources like West Germany can contribute billions of dollars without hesitation, but other small countries will definitely have to use preferential conditions such as economic assistance and debt relief to induce them; There are also some members who believe that this war is an intra-Arab war and are worried that the United States' influence in Kuwait will be greatly strengthened.

Such noises need to be smoothed out one by one, and the richest man, who is full of charisma at this stage and blinds countless kryptonite eyes, is undoubtedly the best lobbyist.

Liberating Kuwait was an undisputed and just act, and Tang Huan certainly agreed to it without any psychological burden—then continue to gain reputation.
