Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Tang Huan had heard that American energy companies headed by Enron, including AES Power, Geron, Williams, Dalizhi, etc., hired a strong public relations team to lobby California to open up the existing power supply. industry.

Once successful, traditional power companies like the Pacific Gas and Electric Company will basically give up their plans to build new power plants and sell a number of their polluting power plants such as fuel power plants. professional energy companies to purchase.

At the same time, the energy industry will use its own power supply capacity to derive financial products such as futures, etc., and bring them to the market for trading—even when the conditions are ripe, they can also start trading carbon emissions.

It can be said that this model is so beautiful that many well-known figures in the American political and business circles, like Tang Huan, are actively working on the foundation needed for the initial stage of Internet development, and spare no effort in promoting it, describing it as the general trend and becoming the mainstream. Pass.

It's just that ideals belong to ideals, reality belongs to reality, and the distance between the two has been ignored by these people—as far as Tang Huan knows, in the original time and space, after making these changes in the rules of the game in the American power industry, including the Pacific Many power companies, including gas and power companies, were so confused that they needed to file for bankruptcy protection at the beginning of the next century.

The reason is secretive, but from Kenneth Lai's current insidious behavior, Tang Huan can guess some of it—the greedy heart of a businessman who seeks profit has lost his restraint, and he has broken the rules abruptly.

Thinking about it, if a so-called good idea can make a big deal, then the richest man should have completed the transformation of the world in the past ten years, but the reality is that just a California high-speed rail project would cost a lot of money. Zhou Zhang.

Sensing Kenneth Lai's ulterior motives, Tang Huan kept his composure—now, California Governor Pete Wilson and the Energy Committee of the State Assembly are probably eager to try, so why should he resist this so-called general trend? Anyway, the business opportunities arising from this will definitely not be missed; those factories that are sensitive to power supply will continue to be placed in other parts of the world where the cost is more advantageous. At that time, it would be a big deal for me to share with everyone the bad consequences that may remain the same.

I have always respected the research institutions below and acted according to my own scientific plan. The richest man said in a routine tone: Judging from the progress of the report, the evaluation report will be announced soon.

As long as you act impartially, it's the best. Kenneth Lai, who had achieved the purpose of this trip, nodded with satisfaction.

He didn't stay too long, so as not to disturb Mr. Richest's interest in tasting sweetheart, so he stood up quickly and said goodbye: I still have to go to Sacramento to meet those members of the California Energy Commission, let's find another time to talk in detail.

...

Watching the car Kenneth Lai was riding in went away, what Tang Huan thought in his mind was: how to balance the value and greed of the Texas Energy Consortium in the next process of getting along—to achieve both Use it for me, but also avoid getting burned.

As for how the Pacific Gas and Electric Company headquartered in San Francisco will respond, it is not difficult to imagine according to the thinking of capital, that is, recapitalization and split into at least two companies—one of which will continue to be regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission and be responsible for the power supply business; One gets rid of regulation, takes over hydropower and nuclear power plants that will not be sold, and is responsible for the energy business.

It is entirely foreseeable that under such circumstances, California, whose economy is prospering due to the coming Internet era, will experience a surge in energy demand, while its dependence on external power supply will become higher and higher.

While thinking about it, little Emma staggered over, hugged Tang Huan's leg, and asked in a childish voice—where to eat.

The richest man was amused, so he temporarily put aside these trivial matters and began to arrange the restaurant.

...

After entering September, Tang Huan had one more item in his itinerary - attending the banquet held by Forbes magazine,

People's wealth list is not simply calculated and arranged to complete the task, there are many circles of business in it.

Tang Huan's status as the richest man—whether in the United States or the world—is unshakeable, especially after the death of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton last year, the Forbes US 400 has become more and more lonely.

A trip to the East Coast of the US would be nice, too, at least with time to enjoy the timely US Open in New York.

At this stage, men's tennis is dominated by American player Pete Sampras, and women's tennis is dominated by German player Steffi Graf.

In the final of this US Open, the two defeated French player Cédric Piolin and Czech player Helena Sukova respectively, and won the Grand Slam championship medal and generous bonuses.

Steffi Graf, who has returned to the number one position in the world, is also very busy - eg. This month the International Olympic Committee will decide where the 2000 Olympic Games will be held, and the popular tennis queen will speak on behalf of Germany.

Tang Huan then joked, How about it, have you memorized the speech script by heart?

Steffi Graf smiled wryly: I estimate that Berlin will be defeated by its own divisions without waiting for its competitors to be eliminated.

For the 2000 Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics, a total of 8 cities submitted bids to the International Olympic Committee at the beginning, namely Australia xn China bj England Manchester, Germany Berlin, Turkey Istanbul, Brazil Brasilia, and Italy Milan and Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Among them, Milan gave up the bid shortly after submitting the bid; Brasilia gave up the bid because the facilities were not up to standard after the inspection by the International Olympic Committee evaluation team; Tashkent's conditions need not be mentioned. In order to obtain recognition of the existence and independence of Uzbekistan, the bid was quickly abandoned.

Of the five remaining bid cities, Berlin is the undisputed leader. The motivation for its bid to host the Olympic Games is to hold the first Olympic Games in the new millennium to commemorate the first decade after the reunification of Germany and Germany.

Although this idea is very good, the strange thing is that when other cities bid to host the Olympic Games, they were united as one, but Berlin was in a fight, and even the opposition was very strong. There is a representative opposition voice—— With that kind of effort, it is better to build more houses in Berlin, where housing is tight.

Germany, which committed crimes of aggression during World War II, is now so strong that it wants to bid for the Olympic Games and expand its influence. It is easy to be associated with bad things, and it turns out that its own people are still hindered by it. It is strange that the prospects are better.

It was precisely because Steffi Graf knew these conditions so well that she could not be optimistic.

Just try your best. The richest man comforted him with a warm and considerate voice.

Not including Germany, which has the strongest economy, Australia xn and China bj are the most promising cities to win. Steffi Graf blinked and asked curiously: You definitely hope that China bj will have the last laugh Bar?

This time it was Tang Huan's turn to smile wryly, The gap between wish and reality may sometimes be so unexpectedly large.

In June this year, the U.S. House of Representatives explicitly blocked China's bid to host the Olympic Games through a verbal vote.

During this process, there were two people who jumped the most - one was Bill Bradley, a former famous player of the New York Knicks in the nba and currently representing any of New Jersey's federal senator seats. The other is Tom Lantos, a Democrat who represents a district below San Francisco, California.

Next, the European Parliament followed suit.

It has to be said that the pressure on China to bid for the Olympic Games is very great.

Steffi Graf, who was in the game, nodded deeply and said: This year's bidding process, including Germany, is obviously under pressure from outside sports.

If you are good, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone. We have done what we should do, and we have a clear conscience, and we can't care about so much. The richest man pretended to be relaxed and opened his arms and smiled: Come on, I will give you money. Recharge.

...

The rivers and lakes are deep - when the political game is in full swing, some Western media finally jumped into the arena as expected and began to stir up trouble.

Reuters, headquartered in London, England, took the lead in hyping the topic of China will boycott the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games in the United States to retaliate if its bid fails.

In this regard, the Western media organized a group to make a big fuss, saying that China's threat to boycott is exerting political pressure, political blackmail, and so on.

As a result, Mr. Richest Man, who was discussing with a group of entrepreneurs around Internet applications in the Stanford University Network Academy he donated to build, was also harassed.

A reporter deliberately came over to ask, Tang, it is said that Zheru provided technical support for the promotional video of Yanjing's bid to host the 2000 Olympics. So you must be supporting Yanjing's bid for the 2000 Olympics?

This world is really not quiet—the richest man, who kept complaining in his heart, replied lightly: Providing technical support for the promotional video of Yanjing's bid to host the 2000 Olympic Games is just a very common business activity. Moreover, Zheru's family is not the only one. Undertake, General Electric is also one of the collaborators.

Hmph, I know that you guys are not generally bad-minded, I have already formed a gang to make a defense——Tang Huan sneered in his heart.

However, when the issue of this promotional video was mentioned, the richest man couldn't help feeling depressed. Due to factors such as concept, creativity, funding, etc., the effect of this project is a certain distance from other candidates, but there is nothing you can do. You can't roll up your sleeves and do it yourself.

After Tang Huan released a shield rebellion, this harassment process continued, and further concealed evil intentions.

Another reporter asked: So, Tang, what do you think of the Bundestag and the European Parliament's opposition to China's bid to host the Olympics?

The difficulty of this issue is obvious. The richest man who owns countless industries in the United States and Europe must show the so-called mainstream awareness, otherwise, the consequences will be self-evident.

Tang Huan, who was unwilling to violate his conscience at least, really wanted to emulate Te Langpu's behavior ten years later in the original time and space, pointing at the other person's nose, simply and directly yelled shut up, and then ordered the security assistant to fork him out.

He calmed down, his mind was spinning, and he said slowly: We must see that China is undergoing positive changes in the direction expected by the West. This general trend should not be ignored, and the Seoul Olympics has given South Korea The gratifying changes brought about are obvious to all.”

Therefore, for China's bid to host the Olympic Games, it should not be rudely blocked or cause confrontation. It is better to let it return to the essence of sports and operate according to its own rules.

After all, a stable and gradual China, as well as a moderate relationship with the West, is a good thing for everyone. At this stage, only China's annual economic growth in the world can reach as high as 14% to 15%. The industry needs the Chinese market, and China also Doing everything possible to return to the world community.

After finding out Mr. Richest Man's remarks, the reporters dispersed in a rush of satisfaction, and then it is not difficult to imagine all kinds of distortions and misinterpretations in order to increase the topicality and attract attention.

Ever since, this wave of public opinion hype has become even more heated against Yingtian.

The collaborators who have interests with the richest man did not dare to silence him. They just suggested tactfully that it is better to avoid these sensitive topics as much as possible, so as not to affect the commercial business.

The troubled Tang Huan called Tang Wenmao and asked in a deep voice, How are the arrangements?

Don't worry, the key people have been sent to watch. Tang Wenmao patted his chest and assured: And there are several floors in the middle, even if cia can't even try to find us.

That's good. I'm going to let these guys bite their tongues and kill themselves. By the way, let the media under Murdoch rush to break the news. If they dare to hide private goods, they will also clean up. Tang Huan was annoyed Nodded, These bastards simply can't look down on others, okay, have I dug their ancestral graves?

...

On September 19, the two major British gaming companies that have been betting on the bid to host the 2000 Olympic Games since 1992 changed Australia's long-term leading handicap to China's number one.

On September 23, at the 101st plenary meeting held in Monte Carlo, Monaco, the world-famous casino, the International Olympic Committee decided who would host the 2000 Olympic Games.

The competition was extremely fierce, and none of the five cities could win with a final decision.

In the first round of voting, Istanbul, Turkey, which was obviously weak, was eliminated without any surprise.

Just four days ago, Germany's internal opposition to Berlin's bid to host the 2000 Olympic Games reached its peak, so it lost the chain directly and was eliminated in the second round of voting.

In order to solicit votes for Manchester, British Prime Minister John Major personally came to Monte Carlo to join the war.

However, this world-renowned industrial city needs to rebuild its urban area, and in its bidding video broadcast to the International Olympic Committee, London landmarks appeared many times, so that it was criticized by the British media as in an identity crisis. bid.

So, of course, the third round voted away Manchester.

The situation suddenly became simpler - choose one of the two.

Finally, IOC President Samaranch, after thanking the five bid cities, announced that Australia had won the right to host the 2000 Olympic Games. The number of votes was 45:43, and China defeated Monte Carlo.

Just as some Western media were gloating and talking about it, the German Stuttgart Zeitung suddenly released a report. The whole world was shocked at once, and the kangaroo, who was happily acting cute and cute, was even more stunned!
