Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 722 The ambition of the local tyrants in the Middle East

Before World War I, Kuwait was an autonomous province of Iraq under the Ottoman Turkish Empire. During the First World War, Britain occupied Kuwait and finally promoted its independence, but Iraq never recognized Kuwait's independence.

At present, some of the debts owed by Iraq to the Arab countries are estimated to be in the tens of billions of dollars for the Kuwaiti family alone.

Iraq believes that as a buffer between other Arab countries and Iran, it has made important contributions to all Arab countries in the Iran-Iraq War, and this money is borrowed as it should be; while Kuwait wants to use this A huge debt, to put pressure on Iraq to finally resolve the historical and border issues between the two sides.

This is the complexity of the international political ecology. Even if everyone is in the same trench, they are still calculating each other.

Tang Huan's reminder was not without purpose, but Prince Fahd was instinctively unwilling to disclose the intrigue within the Arab League, and responded vaguely: The situation is not so bad.

Tang Huan smiled slightly: It is enough for me to file a record with the Kuwaiti royal family in advance. As for the relationship between Kuwait and Iraq, it is not the key to where the relationship between Kuwait and Iraq will go. If you really have a long-lasting friendship, it’s a big deal brother Just one less chance.

Don't worry, Prince. Although Uday Hussain is rebellious, I won't really care about this unpleasantness, or even affect our friendship. The richest man finally expressed his magnanimity.

This is what Prince Fahd wanted. He didn't care whether Tang Huan was sincere or not, as long as he could have an explanation at that time. His not distracting mind can be seen from the fact that he got up and left without talking a few words later. Come out some.

...

In another day, the fruitful first Friendship Games came to a successful conclusion. At the closing ceremony, a group of people, including high-level Russian officials, talked happily and congratulated this achievement.

When meeting Tang Huan, Ted Turner said with a little gloom: This Friendship Games was well maintained, but I lost several million dollars.

The first time is inevitable. When the second host is transferred to the United States, I believe the commercial value will be higher. Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, What's more, a few million dollars in exchange for a world-wide The popularity is worth it!

It's good that you, the major shareholder, don't care. Ted Turner immediately put away the bitter face just now.

Tang Huan, who had seen through this trick for a long time, twitched his mouth slightly, and glanced casually across the crowd, seeing Uday Hussein sitting listlessly in his seat.

Little brat, if you dare to play dirty with me, you will definitely look good! Tang Huan snorted secretly, and looked away.

...

After the Friendship Games ended and people from all walks of life left the Soviet Union one after another, Tang Huan continued to stay and started his scheduled itinerary.

There is no longer any problem with ocpc educational computers entering the Soviet Union. Tang Huan specially allocated 10 million US dollars to implement this plan, hoping to establish a preliminary network in the Soviet Union and even Eastern Europe.

However, the high-end business of the Zheru Training and Certification Center, and the mid-end Fangyuan computer that the Soviet Union wanted second best, are a bit troublesome.

To this end, Tang Huan went to meet the US ambassador to the Soviet Union Arthur? Hartman. This person is a member of the American Council on Foreign Relations with unfathomable energy. Tang Huan hoped that he could help him out of it—I am not a silly boy who lets you swing back and forth, left and right. If you are so angry with the splint, it will be separated in one shot.

In this way, within two days, a batch of mid-to-high-end Fangyuan computers were approved to enter the Soviet Union, which made the face of the richest man less ugly.

In addition to these serious fields, Tang Huan also expanded his approach for his entertainment products.

The Soviet Union did not want to waste its precious foreign exchange on these insignificant consumer goods.

So much so that in the past few years, the Xiaobawang game console has become a luxury that is in short supply in the Soviet Union.

Tang Huan said very flexibly: EA will provide a customized version of the game console to provide the Soviet people with as high-quality and cheap entertainment solutions as possible to enrich their spiritual and cultural life.

Even if you don't consider this group, you must also see the popularity of game consoles in the military. American soldiers are the most obvious example.

And it must be pointed out that EA's development platform is extraordinary, and has a considerable degree of interoperability with the Fangyuan computer platform. Once Soviet technicians participate, the significance of it is self-evident.

In this way, the Soviet Union let go, allowing Tang Huan to open up all the channels of the Soviet Union in name for the classic troika of Zheru, Fangyuan, and EA.

To be honest, the profit that the Soviet Union can currently contribute to this business is really not worth the richest man doing it himself, but what Tang Huan values ​​is that the personal connections formed on this basis will bring more benefits in a few years. The income is quite considerable.

Of course, the premise is that the ending of the Soviet Union is still the same as the original time and space. But the Chernobyl nuclear accident, which had a huge negative impact on the Soviet Union, happened. How can the historical trajectory be changed?

In addition, Tang Huan also talked about a small business that almost no one paid attention to - daily necessities, such as clothes, toothpaste, soap and the like.

Although the Soviet Union is a military power, there is still a lack of such insignificant supplies, and ordinary people often worry about these small necessities of life.

The solution given by Tang Huan was to source goods from the East with a cost-effective advantage. Halfway in Paris, France, the team members boarded the Silicon Valley No. 1 flight to Moscow, the Soviet Union. Responsible for this, the producers behind it are located in China and Funan.

The significance of this small business is that in addition to continuing to help build the Soviet Union’s network of contacts, it can also help underdeveloped regions such as China and Funan to create more job opportunities with low requirements.

Tang Huan’s actual market demand for this layout is based on the fact that according to the information he has collected, the Soviet Union has attracted the food embargo imposed by former US President Jimmy Carter and other unified blockades by the Western camp due to the invasion of Afghanistan; The Soviet Union, which had to spend a lot of money to deal with the current U.S. President Ronald Reagan's Star Wars Project, oil exports have shrunk sharply due to the continuous drop in international crude oil prices in the 1980s; Aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear accident. The procurement of non-staple foods such as cheese and butter and the consumption of daily necessities by the Soviet people have been significantly affected, so that they spend two hours a day in long queues to buy.

Tang Huan, who handled all kinds of major issues almost, decided to go to the Soviet Union to see the situation with his own eyes.

The accompanying KGB personnel were naturally unwilling to spread family ugliness—the richest man had a photographer with him, and immediately stopped him on the grounds that he could not guarantee his safety.

Tang Huan laughed loudly, and said directly: With the strength of the KGB and the fact that it is still in the Soviet Union, what security problems can there be?

The head of the KGB finally replied, Since you insist on visiting, then we will make arrangements and go see it tomorrow.

Tang Huan nodded in agreement, but when he went to visit the next day according to the other party's arrangement, he found that he had to queue for two hours, and it was an orderly situation where he came and bought as he went, and bought as he went.

Seeing the stunned look of the richest man, the KGB staff enthusiastically suggested: You like to visit so much, and the special tourist attractions specially arranged by us here will definitely meet your wishes.

Tang Huan, who muttered to himself I can't accept it, nodded and agreed, like a marionette, and followed the arrangement of the KGB to appreciate the most outstanding natural and cultural landscapes in the Soviet Union.

When passing by a stadium, Tang Huan saw a group of children playing football, so he became interested and wanted to go over to have a look.

The KGB entourage, who had been in command for a long time, could not stop him, so they could only follow behind Mr. Richest Man.

The strength of the Soviet national football team is very strong. It is a frequent visitor to the World Cup and European Football Championships. After all, it can gather the best athletes from Russia, Ukraine and other places. It is not like the British Isles. places.

Children's innocence and romance are always the most infectious. Tang Huan was very happy, and specially sent a small gift that was always prepared, and took a group photo with them, but the photographer was too busy.

With the sound of a shutter from another direction, Tang Huan looked over in a strange way, and saw a familiar face—but much younger than in the original time and space.

I'm going, shouldn't this person be working in East Germany now? Why did he come here? Could it be that I am so attractive to the KGB? Seeing the young version of Tang Huan's scriptures, Tang Huan was shocked.

After quietly winking at his photographer, Tang Huan quietly took a photo with a child with the scriptures as the background.

After that, Tang Huan became more and more bored with the activities arranged by the KGB, and canceled them all with a wave of his hand.

The KGB staff then breathed a sigh of relief, and began to think about when they would be able to send this difficult-to-serve rich man out of the Soviet Union.

In fact, Tang Huan's trip to the Soviet Union has come to an end - he has met all the important people who should be seen, and the important affairs that should be dealt with have relatively satisfactory results, so after he finished his last university speech , bid farewell to Moscow, diverted to Ukraine, and left the Soviet Union.

The reason why Tang Huan chose to pass through Ukraine was because it was located in a major traffic route and an important seaport for bulk goods entering and leaving the Soviet Union. He wanted to manage his network as soon as possible.

...

When Tang Huan came to Paris again, Prince Fahd, Prince Sabah and other Kuwaiti royal families had been waiting for a long time.

This is Paris, so you can tell what's going on? Tang Huan joked.

Good thing. I will send you a business first, and ask PeopleSoft to tailor a full-featured enterprise management system. Prince Sabah replied with a smile, The requirements are also very clear, and it supports Arabic, English, and Spanish at the same time. The speed of data reporting should be fast, and the level of encryption should be the highest.”

It's a big deal. Is the Kuwait Investment Authority trying to build a manufacturing trust? Tang Huan nodded slightly, and casually asked.

I have provided IT solutions to the other party before, but they were all limited to the financial field, and the demand I put forward now seems to indicate a new move.

Tang Huan noticed that one of the requests made by Prince Sabah was to support Spanish. It can be deduced from this that it is impossible for the royal family of Kuwait, who is willing to go to Latin American countries with a relatively lagging investment environment, to bury their heads and work hard, and it is estimated that they have locked Spain as their target.

Sure enough, Prince Fahd then took over and explained: In less than three months, the results of the competition for the 1992 Olympic Games will be determined. Although there are Amsterdam, Belgrade, Birmingham, Brisbane and Paris is such a strong competitor, but we believe that Barcelona in Catalonia, the hometown of the current IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch, has a better chance of winning.

So that's the case, you really see the long-term. Tang Huan suddenly realized.

He also agreed with Prince Fahd's inference, not to mention the results in the original time and space, just the unspoken rules of canvassing votes among international sports organizations are enough to ensure that the host city of the 1992 Olympic Games will be chosen.

The outstanding surplus performance of more than 200 million U.S. dollars in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games restored the confidence of those countries that had previously hesitated to host the Olympic Games, and the Olympic Games became a sweet pastry that stimulated economic development.

Because of the dark history of its position in the Second World War, Spain was not popular for a long time. ⑧± Miao (.*) pen ⑧± Pavilion ⑧±, o

Until 1950, it was still a backward and self-contained agricultural country-farmers mostly used oxen to plow the fields and watered them with windmills and buckets. Industry is dominated by mining and some light industries, while other industries are weak.

Since the 1960s, Spain has been fully open to the outside world, using its relatively cheap labor force, introducing a large amount of foreign capital and technology, vigorously developing tourism, and actively encouraging the export of labor force, which has promoted the rapid development of the country's economy and created the Spanish Miracle. .

However, even so, compared with other industrial powers in Western Europe, Spain is still a relatively poor country.

Of course, this is relatively speaking. It is an unmistakable fact that Spain is richer and more advanced than Japan and most of Asia except the Four Tigers.

All in all, in the next few years, Spain may take advantage of the good opportunity of hosting the Olympic Games to achieve an economic take-off, and Prince Fahd will use his resources in the International Olympic Committee and other sports structures to preemptively discover the business opportunities. There is also great potential.

However, this still does not seem to be enough to justify the need for such a secret meeting.

Soon, Prince Sabah revealed the answer, The privatization process of BP is accelerating. How about we take a controlling stake in it?
