Eating the perfect taste, Giuliani really didn't want to leave.

He took advantage of the wine and said to Wu Xiaozheng: "U, you will go back to China soon, I will not see you for a long time, I must take this opportunity to have a good chat with you." ”

Wu Xiaozheng thought to himself, if you become the mayor of New York, can you still be so leisurely?

If you want to meet you when the time comes, you need to make an appointment in advance!

Let's talk.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to strengthen his relationship with the future mayor of New York.

He took Giuliani straight to his room.

Giuliani first expressed his solemn gratitude to Wu Xiaozheng for his success in helping him gain the support of the Chinese community in New York.

It seems that this is his intention to continue to follow Wu Xiaozheng to the room.

This is a person who knows how to be grateful.

After that, it goes into small talk.

"U, you are not only a brilliant businessman, but also very politically minded, and you are also good at integrating various resources. Sadly, you are in China. If you were in New York, I would have hired you as my campaign staff, and if I succeeded, I would have hired you as my special adviser. ”

Wu Xiaozheng: "......"

Am I going to be your staff and advisor?

I don't have that much to spare.

However, he found that politicians in the United States are very popular with the style of aides and personal advisers, which is completely different from that in China.

He also remembers that after Giuliani stepped down in 2001, he also announced his candidacy in the 2008 presidential election, only to drop out abruptly with high approval ratings, and then he became a loyal supporter of Donald *** in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and was nominated as a cybersecurity adviser.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaozheng suddenly remembered something.

Oh, isn't Donald *** a New Yorker?

He's always had a good relationship with Giuliani, so how is that guy doing now?

"By the way, Rudolph, do you know Donald ***?"

"Donald ***?, are you talking about the divorced nouveau riche?" asked Giuliani.

Divorced nouveau riche?

Wu Xiaozheng couldn't help but smile.

From Giuliani's words, he does know ***, but now the relationship should be average, and he doesn't even have a good impression of him.

Giuliani added: "If you're talking about the nouveau riche who spent $200 million to build a 68-story *** building in Manhattan, then I have to tell you that he's in a pretty bad place right now." ”

Call him an upstart again?

Wu Xiaozheng was happy again when he heard it.

But think about it, Giuliani has not yet become the mayor of New York, so in the eyes of the arrogant guy like ***, he may not be able to talk, or he wants to talk, but he is treated rudely by ***, so it is entirely possible that he has no good impression of ***.

This situation may not change until he becomes mayor of New York.

It seems that in the United States, interpersonal relations are more in line with reality than in China.

However, Wu Xiaozheng was attracted by another thing.

In his previous life, in 2016, after *** was elected president of the United States, he spent a little time and deliberately studied ***'s life, knowing that he did experience a low ebb in the 90s, but he didn't know it in detail enough.

"He's in a bit of a bad condition, what's going on?"

Wu Xiaozheng asked curiously.

"He's really a rude and vulgar upstart, and he's now paying the price for his rudeness. ”

Giuliani began to talk about the history of ***.

's fortune can actually be called a legend.

Born in New York in 1946, after graduating from college, he worked for his father's real estate company.

In 1974, the "Pennsylvania Central Railroad" in Manhattan, New York City, declared bankruptcy, and the discerning *** immediately bought this property and proposed to the government to build a "municipal convention center" here.

In 1978, the New York City government agreed to his suggestion and allowed him to make a fortune.

In 1975, *** bought a dilapidated hotel near New York's Grand Central Station for $10 million, and built a new booming Hyatt Regency Hotel here, which gave *** a huge and stable source of income.

This can be regarded as an important milestone in the real estate industry.

Next, the development of *** was out of control.

Immediately afterwards, he spent $200 million to build the "*** Building" in the business district of Manhattan, New York.

The 68-storey commercial complex offers spacious offices, boutiques and luxury apartments for high-income earners, attracting long-term tenants and earning a lot of money.

Then, *** gradually extended his investment scope to industries other than real estate, opening casinos, operating shipping, running professional football teams, sponsoring professional boxing matches, and becoming a well-known rich man in New York.

In 198.9, when Giuliani ran for mayor for the first time, he had the idea of pulling him to be the financier.

But the flamboyant *** not only looked down on him, but threw himself into Giuliani's rival Ding Qinshi.

And, *** rejected Giuliani with his characteristic arrogance and rudeness, which made him very unhappy.

As for the reason why the situation has become worse all of a sudden, it has to do with the general economic environment in the United States.

Beginning in 1990, the U.S. real estate industry began to slump.

Under the influence of the general environment, the real estate owned by *** has also depreciated significantly, and the income has decreased.

That same year, his personal assets plummeted from $1.7 billion to $500 million.

In order to avoid bankruptcy, he often had to dispatch working capital, and for this reason, he began to borrow money everywhere, and in the case of high debts, the burden of interest alone amounted to more than 200 million US dollars per year.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight.

Just when *** was in a financial predicament, his extramarital affair was exposed, and the happy marriage that was originally envied by the American people was instantly shattered.

As recently as 1990, the *** couple divorced, and the news immediately caused a sensation in the United States.

The syndicate of banks that had generously lent huge sums of money to *** realized that *** was likely to go bankrupt.

Once he goes bankrupt, the bank group will not only lose interest, but may not be able to get back the capital.

As a result, the banks allowed him to suspend the payment of part of the interest on the loan, but on the condition that the syndicate would supervise the real estate under *** until he was able to repay the debt.

It's really miserable now.

According to the U.S. Board of Bankruptcy, he can't now have more than $10 for lunch.

Giuliani happily finished talking about the miserable experience of ***, and asked curiously, "U, why did you suddenly ask about him? Do you know him, or are you interested in him?"

Wu Xiaozheng: "......"

I did take an interest in him.

However, the reason why I was interested in him was not because I wanted to help him in his trouble, but because I wanted to help him.

Hehe, this nouveau riche is now down, is it possible to step on him and make him never turn over?
