The next morning, Adjani took her children to the nominee's luncheon - of course, she didn't go to dinner with the baby in her arms, just to show up and take a group photo.

All the nominees take a group photo and take a picture, this is an old tradition of the Oscars, unless it is really impossible to come because of force majeure, otherwise the group photo always has to arrive.

As for eating, forget it, in a word, notify the organizing committee that Miss Adjani is unwell.

It's understandable that there are taboos in eating - there are actually many people in the circle who know about Adjani being a mother again, but everyone consciously thinks they don't know.

Hollywood people like to attack competitors with scandals the most, and they also like to use scandals to hype themselves, but this time no one really wants to gossip, otherwise the consequences will be serious!

Who is the man?

The behind-the-scenes boss of Star Columbia Pictures, the Wall Street financial tycoon, the handful of people who really stand at the top of the pyramid in this world, can this kind of person be easily offended?

Even if you don't know how much energy Mr. Allen has in a place where the sun can't shine, the three-in-one strength of Columbia Pictures, United Television Network and the cinema chain alone is what Hollywood people need to knot.

Even if you don't stammer, at least you don't want to have nothing to do.

Will the other major studios be behind the scenes?

No, except they're crazy!

Burning film and burning the set are the tricks of small companies and small investors, and at the level of 7 major companies, it means war to do it again!

War, the influence of the text, as for the ...... of the martial arts The other six together are not enough for Zhang Nan to plug his teeth.

Zhang Nan didn't let his subordinates go to trouble other companies, so others wouldn't come to dig up any insiders, this is the rule of survival.

Unless you have the power to be able to do nothing, you have to abide by it - everyone knows that Columbia Pictures actually has the power of the law of nothing, because there is a boss who is strong enough to be unscrupulous in the film industry!

In this case, people are still talking about the rules of the game, but others have to be conscious.

As for the tabloids, they don't have the energy to know the secrets of the top floor of Hollywood, as for the mansions of celebrities and predators within 500 meters of the villa, there were paparazzi before Zhang Nan last stayed, and now this range is a forbidden place for paparazzi!

There were unbelievers who came, not to photograph Zhang Nan's villa, but they were quickly dragged out of the car by an unknown armed man and stuffed into a fully enclosed minivan.

After a lesson and death threats, he was happily thrown dozens of kilometers away, and as for the paparazzi's car, he returned it to the other party after removing the four wheels.

"If you come to this area again, it's not the four wheels that are missing!"

After a few unlucky people had an accident, a piece of land quickly became a restricted area for the entire Los Angeles paparazzi, and it was useless to even call the police: the one who didn't go to the police was attacked by unknown people on the third day after leaving the police station, and lay directly in the hospital for more than a week.

The police can't find out who did it, and they don't seem to be trying their best to investigate, there are too many people offended by these paparazzi!

Sending Adjani away, Thomas arrives - Yesterday, after receiving instructions from his boss, Thomas immediately contacted the person in charge of the Gambia.

Ministers are not "empty ministers" who don't care about things, but ministerial-level officials in the government who are not in charge of the affairs of a particular ministry.

In a country with a cabinet system, no matter whether the minister is usually a cabinet member, his or her duties require attending cabinet meetings, participating in government decision-making, and undertaking cabinet meetings or special and important affairs assigned by the head of government.

If you are in a constitutional monarchy, you will generally become a minister of state, and you will have a lot of power!

However, Zhang Nan thought that the "ministerial level" was too small and asked for the post of vice premier, and just now, the Gambian side agreed, and at the same time said that it could "concurrently serve as a minister" at the price of hoping to get another $50 million in "agricultural development assistance".

This will be in the small lounge, Zhang Nan explained to Thomas: "Tell that Jawara, before July this year, I can give him another 20 million, and from next year, I will sponsor him with personal personal funds of 500,000 US dollars every year."

On the government side, starting in '93, $3 million a year in financial aid, he loved it.

However, there is one condition, my security company needs to buy a piece of land in the coastal area of The Gambia, and the price is good, so it will follow the local rules.

We're going to build a training base there, we're going to need to build an airport, a dock, and living quarters, and then I can guarantee him peace of mind that he'll be his president for the rest of his life.

Tell him that I have no interest in his country, I want a small piece of land, anyway, his land there is only peanuts, and there is a lot of wasteland, and it is good to be able to exchange it for money.

Also, in a year or two, it may be necessary to purchase, in the name of the Government of the Gambia, some high-tech weapons that are traded only between countries. But there's no need to rush this, at least wait until the matter of the base is settled. ”

Training base?

Military bases are!

Upon hearing the boss's words, Thomas said: "I think he will be very happy, and the money to buy the land will eventually go into the pockets of the Gambian high-level executives, and he will definitely take the lion's share." ”

Zhang Nan smiled, "The 100 million in front is actually too much, it is estimated that if there is 30 or 50 million, he will have to promise everything......

The country's GDP is hundreds of millions of dollars a year, which is too much, but this is also good, all the Gambian high-level "homecoming regiments" have benefited, coupled with the absolute suppression of military strength, those people have a "sincere welcome" attitude towards the stationing of the "joint forces".

I remember that in my previous life, I bought Gambia with millions of dollars in aid a year, and when the equivalent code reached $20 million a year, the negotiation collapsed, because there was no money in Wanwan!

As for the 500,000 private funds, it is very reasonable in a dictatorship, just like sending a 500 yuan supermarket voucher between friends.

Jawara would not have had the time or heart to think about the difficulty of inviting God, and even if he had thought about it, he would not dare to show it: if necessary, the "combined forces" could leave him dead without a place to bury at any time, and then a new president would come out.

In The Gambia, Zhang Nan's people don't just deal with Jawara. Besides, there are quite a lot of people going to this official, not to mention that the profession of an official can really be anyone, there is not much technical content, and the big deal is to be a good or bad thing.

What are you doing?

Change it.

In today's Gambia, who has the final say on the quality of this official?

It's not Jawara, it's the "combined forces"!

In the micro-countries that uncles don't love and grandmothers don't love, as long as the "united forces" don't make it look like the Rwandan massacre in the future, the international eyes will not bother to look at it.

Besides, as long as you don't do it yourself, even if there is a massacre like Rwanda!

Rwanda killed millions of people, and the United States did not intervene at all until March 1998, when Clinton visited Rwanda and tactfully apologized to the survivors of the massacre.

The United Nations was also passive in the case of the genocide in Rwanda: on the fourth day of the massacre, the Security Council voted to keep 260 peacekeepers in Rwanda symbolically, with a mandate only to mediate a ceasefire and provide humanitarian assistance.

Others......

Remove!

It took almost a month and a half of the genocide in Rwanda before the United Nations decided to increase the number of UNAMA personnel to 5,500, expand its operational mandate and persuade other countries to participate in the rescue.

Hehe, millions of people died at that time - even if people died in a poor place, no one would pay attention to it!

This person, the world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, and there is no interest in who will play with you!

I'm not afraid that Jawara won't agree.

Thomas doesn't need to wait, he calls in front of his boss, and it is estimated that there will be news feedback by tomorrow at the latest - today's Gambia, except for the unique existence of "United Forces", is still a word from Jawara for the time being.

Dictatorship, that's all.

Zhang Nan is not done yet, let Thomas and Brown contact and ask them to speed up the construction of the airport in the Letlakane area of Botswana. At the same time, the financial parent company was notified to find a way to buy a large enough private island in the Maldives in the Indian Ocean.

Money is not an issue, and if you really can't buy it, you can lease it for more than 40 years – what if that's not enough?

"Thomas, if that doesn't work out, you're trying to find a way to make a mess of the Maldives for me, and I'm looking at their Huluwa Island. ”

Zhang Nan was familiar with "Hulu Brothers" in 86, and even Guan Xingquan accompanied Xiao Jiannan to watch it, and when he heard this "Hulu Baby Island", Boss Guan rarely laughed.

Half a month, once a month, it's rare.

Thomas doesn't know why "Huluwa Island" is funny, but as long as the boss writes which island it is, he will always come up with something.

Huluarolu Island, Coral Island, has a small fishing village in the southwest of the island, and the "primitive island" is about 1 kilometer wide and more than 10 kilometers long, which can be considered a large island in the Maldives.

An airfield was built in the middle of the island many years ago, but it was completely abandoned seven or eight years ago – it was flooded by the sea...

Now Huluwa Island has actually become two islands, the middle is cut off by the "airport" that is soaked in the sea water as soon as the tide rises, and in the "northern section of the airport", the invasion time after the sea destroys the loose coral reef structure is even earlier, and after a low tide, there are knee-high to half a meter deep, three or four hundred meters wide "strait" has divided Huluwa Island into two.

“... I want the North Island, and of course, if the whole island is better, the fishermen can still live in the South Island, and I can hire some of them.

In that hellish place, even fresh water depends on God and desalination, and the whole country's economy can only rely on tourism, and some locals can do some work for us in the periphery. ”

The conditions are difficult, so what's so good about this Huluarolu Island, why does Zhang Nan want it?

The northern part of its "North Island" has good topography, with an altitude of 1 meter, and there are 8 large and small pieces of land that will not be soaked by sea water all year round, and the northernmost section is about 500 meters wide and more than 3 kilometers long.

Zhang Nan talked about the situation on Huluwa Island, and the same thought popped up in Thoma and Guan Xingquan's minds - another military base!

"The altitude is too low, and if there is a storm surge, it is easy to be flooded. ”

Thomas also had to say what he thought - the boss would do it if he wanted to, but all the difficulties that could be thought of had to be said - any fresh water was not a problem, there were no hurricanes, tornadoes, occasional storms, annual precipitation of up to 1,900 mm, plus a watermaker, it was enough.

As for the best products, as long as you have money, what can't be transported?

What should I do if the altitude is too low?

Raise the foundation.

Where does the material come from?

Coral Island, there are no materials, and the stones have to be imported.

“... India, Kerala, is not far from there, just 500 nautical miles. ”

The Varma family has a lot of energy in Kerala, so it makes sense to buy some stones. As for reinforced concrete, India is "30 years more advanced" than China, and that little thing can still be bought.

Indians will die if they build airplanes, so the reinforced concrete used to build the airport should be able to make do with it, right?

I didn't hear that it was because the building materials couldn't work here, so I dropped the plane.

"The runway of the new Pontianak airport is 2,250 meters long, and there is no problem with the C141 taking off and landing with full load, and the 767 can also be used, so that in the future, when necessary, our people can be mobilized on a large scale at any time. ”

Thomas knows that the boss has been deploying in Indonesia since last year, and he has handled a lot of things, and when he heard this, he understood that this was the rhythm of doing big things!

The Pontianak airport could not have been owned by Zhang Nan, but according to his tone, both Thomas and Kwan knew how to use the airport when necessary—it was simple, just occupy it, and then the arriving military transport planes could easily take off and land.

It's going to be a big beat!

Have at least halfway a world of "global deployment" capabilities!

"The Gambia, Botswana and Maldives are all about 6,000 kilometers apart, and the C141 can almost reach the maximum load at such a distance.

If you fly directly from Gambia to the Maldives and then transfer to Pontianak, the previous flight is just over 10,000 kilometers, plus the rotation of the earth, the C141 can also fly directly with infantry or paratroopers at full capacity.

Also, Pontianak is not far from Australia, even if it can't be transported to the mining area in Australia to support, it can be regarded as a backhand...

The base in the Maldives should be completed by the end of '96, and the Gambian side will be able to start construction by the end of this year..."

While he was talking, there was a knock at the door, and it was Paul who came in.

"Boss, there is important news on TV. ”

Zhang Nan gestured casually.

There is something, and now almost all the news on TV stations say the same thing, just a few hours ago, news came out from Moscow: the Communist Party of the USSR abandoned the one-party system!

"The Soviet Union is going to be completely finished!

Thomas, if the company wants to find a way to continue to build strong relations with senior Soviet officials, we also need to be a little bit of a guy who weighs when the enemy wants to attack us..."

In fact, this matter has been laid out for a long time, through the tentative work carried out by some talents who have done work in the East in the "joint forces", and then the Soviet Union will quickly fall apart and become a mess.

With enough dollars in hand plus having contacts, nothing could not be bought in the USSR!

Zhang Nan didn't think about buying an atomic bomb, but if he did, he wouldn't mind having a few self-defense under absolute safety.

If not, there must be a large number of anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles that this mercenary will use, right?

In the United States, money can't buy it, and even that little inventory imported from China is reluctant to use, because if it is imported from China in the future, Washington will turn its face!

In the arsenal of the Soviet Union, weapons and ammunition are prepared according to the needs of fighting a world war, and in a year or two, those conventional equipment will be the real price of cabbage.

"Combined forces" buy?

It's not so stupid, the middleman is out of the horse, at least it's like there is a middleman.

Black market, between countries, buy!

Looking at the report of his own TV station, Zhang Nan felt weird, and his mind unconsciously thought about how he felt when he saw the news in his previous life.

Thinking about things, he listened to Guan Xingquan and said: "Anan, you can let Alyosha also go to the Soviet Union at the right time, it is much more convenient for him to change his identity and go there than us." ”

"Hmm. ”

Thomas listened and interjected: "It is important to completely leave aside the influence of the company, if Alyosha goes to the USSR as a representative, in case he is recognized, the impact will be very bad." ”

Except in the manor, Alyosha almost always wears sunglasses, but this does not seem to be reliable.

Guan Xingquan cracked his mouth, "Don't worry, give him a few months to ensure that no one will recognize him." ”

As he spoke, he gestured for a moment—beard.

Alyosha is super bearded and shaves every day. Guan Xingquan had seen Alyosha not shave for several months before, and it looked like there were two people at all.

Maozi one.
