Chapter 0184: The Last Stop on the European Tour
Tang Huan secretly concluded that Samaranch at this stage must have the idea of becoming the president of the International Olympic Committee in his heart, and the enterprising light faintly revealed in his eyes is a proof, and for this famous international friend, Tang Huan is also happy to see it.
Samaranch first visited China in 1978 and has since visited China several times.
Samaranch had a deep understanding of China's potential and importance in world affairs, and as a result, he strongly supported China's role in the IOC after China's rightful seat was restored in 1979.
Originally, Samaranch's term of office expired in 2001, and his biggest wish before retirement was to hope that the Olympics could be held in China. In July 2001, Beijing successfully won the right to host the 2008 Summer Olympics, and his wish was finally realized.
Samaranch once said that I have obtained many honorary degrees and honorary titles all over the world, but the most cherished one is to be called "a good friend of the Chinese people".
After Samaranch's death in 2010, the International Olympic Committee finally chose China as the address of the Samaranch Memorial Hall.
I don't know if Samaranch took this factor into account when he agreed to meet with Tang Huan, a wealthy Chinese man who will be invited to attend the opening ceremony of the Moscow Olympics, in his busy campaign for the chairmanship.
But in any case, the atmosphere of the meeting between the two was very harmonious from the beginning.
After the greetings, Tang Huan directly stated his main purpose, "In addition to admiring Mr. Samaranch's demeanor, I am a businessman. Naturally, I am still interested in business opportunities. As far as I know. From the 1970s. The financial situation of the Olympics is not very optimistic, and I would like to ask Mr. Samaranch if there are no new initiatives for the IOC to operate commercially in the future? ”
Samaranch, who is on his way to becoming president of the International Olympic Committee, naturally has to face the question of how to get out of this predicament in order to make suggestions and win trust.
Seeing that Tang Huan took the initiative to mention this topic. Samaranch was very interested, "Even if there is any plan, it will have to wait until later." Mr. Tang has made great achievements in his career at a young age, and he must have a very sensitive sense of smell for various business opportunities. I don't know, what do you like about the commercial value of the Olympics? ”
"Television rights, partners or sponsors, of course. In fact, in my opinion, it is a pity that the Olympic Games, with unlimited business opportunities, have never been able to give full play to their commercial advantages. Tang Huan followed a bombastic talk from his previous life experience, and he also deliberately mentioned Samaranch. Hopefully, he will be able to develop his own mature solution as soon as possible, so that his candidacy for the IOC presidency will be smoother.
Samaranch didn't expect Tang Huan to have such goods in his stomach. It can be said that the more I listened, the more I was touched, and even simply pushed off all other agendas and learned business from the young man in front of me.
Samaranch, who has studied business himself, has participated in the family business, and he has no lack of business acumen, but because of the gap in knowledge from the next few decades, he has the opportunity to show off his strengths.
Before you know it, it's dinner time. Tang Huan and Samaranch dined together and chatted about some light topics, and then left, after all, the other party was sixty years old, and he couldn't compare with his own life.
Seeing that the other party was still unsatisfied, Tang Huan smiled and said, "I will continue to exchange some of my business ideas with Mr. Samaranch through letters." ”
"That's good." Samaranch nodded happily and told repeatedly, "Mr. Tang, don't forget." ”
Tang Huan promised in his mouth, but smiled secretly in his heart, I finally got on your line, how could I let go.
When he returned to the villa, he happened to see Christina taking Sophie to yoga at the gym, while Graf continued to practice tennis moves in a specific breathing routine.
"There is a new work report from the United States in the study." Christina said.
Tang Huan nodded, no longer appreciating, and came to the study to look at it.
There are two important points in the content. First of all, the 1980 version of the Xiaobawang game console was developed and put into production as planned.
In addition, Apple's third-generation aircraft, priced at $3,500, began to be introduced to the market, and it seems that the response has been good, and the number of reservations has quickly exceeded 5,000 units, which has made Apple's middle and senior executives happy.
Seeing this, the corners of Tang Huan's mouth curled, and he said in his heart that you are too optimistic, those fatal bugs in the previous life, many of them still exist, typical hardware design flaws, why should users accept and endure.
You are so immature, you really don't have to go through the wind and rain and see the rainbow.
But this is also good, and the cooperation between Zheru and Apple on the Apple II will be more indestructible.
After Tang Huan finished reading the document, he groaned. Christina can't be happy here in Europe, and she can't stay with her.
As for the female ship king's plan to have a child has not yet seen the effect, then he can't complain about his brother, as long as the two are together, he is working hard almost every day, and the other party's stomach is not moving, which can only mean that the body has not been adjusted to the best state.
Tang Huan's affairs in Europe are only one trip to Italy.
The value of the clothing brands collected in France that are intended to be sold is a bit inflated, which is not in line with Tang Huan's positioning.
In fact, he just wanted to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep. In the previous life, clothing, shoes, and even furniture, etc., as long as they topped a foreign brand, they could make a lot of money in the mainland, but in fact, most of them belonged to domestic goods, and the top day was loaded on a ship to take a trip to Europe and then return to the domestic port.
The root of this phenomenon can almost be attributed to Xiangjiang. At this time, under the general situation of economic development, the people's internal demand for quality of life is increasing, which is similar to the consumption environment of the mainland decades later.
Anyway, everyone is so opportunistic, and there is no need for them to pretend to be high, just to find a suitable side hustle for their women.
In addition, Tang Huan did not plan to do too badly, the acquired brands should be genuine, and he would also leave a European branch.
Tang Huan was pondering that Fan Ning, the housekeeper who came from England, brought over the freshly brewed fragrant coffee.
"Are all the houses in that small village arranged?" Tang Huan asked casually.
Fanning nodded, "It's all the family members who are guarding, and there is absolutely no problem." ”
Tang Huan bowed slightly, "I'll go to Milan, Italy tomorrow, and you can help me arrange the itinerary." (To be continued......)
