Chapter 0848 - Sorry for frightening everyone
In the camera, Tang Huan, dressed in a black suit, first shook hands with Joseph Wilson, the new US ambassador to Iraq, who quickly took office, and then exchanged greetings with diplomatic envoys from other countries. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Obviously, the richest man, although he came alone, has a wide range of Austrian aid in Baghdad.
After the greetings, the next thing is to contact the Iraqi authorities immediately.
All the ambassadors were worried about the long nights and dreams, and hoped that Tang Huan would finish the matter and leave quickly, so they jointly facilitated all the arrangements.
Most of the people on Silicon Valley One stayed on guard, and the elite of the few elites, as well as the media, accompanied Tang Huan to meet with Saddam Hussein.
In short, everyone picks up materials and has a high flame and is very efficient, directly king to king.
As soon as he took a look, Saddam Hussein, who had been on the presidential throne by assassination, coup d'Γ©tat, and purge, and personally commanded many wars in a row, wanted to exert the domineering spirit that had been honed by years of bullets and bullets and decisive killings, and give this young businessman who dared to come to the door in person a dismount, and asked directly: "You are the Tang who beat my son?" β
The photos of Mr. the richest man and the world's great people and celebrities are about to fill the room, and I haven't seen any scenes, of course, I am indifferent to the momentum that is coming, and I replied lightly, "If you are afraid of admitting your mistakes, then find the parties to get together." β
Saddam Hussein, who was choked up, sneered repeatedly, "You really have no fear, you never thought that you would never leave Baghdad again?" β
Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, "I am acting in accordance with the rules and credibility, and I believe that His Excellency the President will not violate the accepted laws,"
Saddam Hussein laughed arrogantly and said, "I'll detain you and take over the plane, what can I do?" β
"I don't mind trying to taste the essence of traditional food in Iraq, but if you forcibly capture my Silicon Valley One, you'll end up empty-handed." Tang Huan corrected very seriously: "Moreover, Iraq will be even more isolated in the international community - you rule a country, and I run a consortium, and we both understand that while this kind of foundation provides great achievements, glory and wealth, it also has the scruples of not having the skin and sticking to it." You know, the U.S. 'Desert Shield' operation has begun, and at the same time I came, the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division had already arrived in Saudi Arabia. β
"At the size of the U.S. military...... Saddam Hussein looked disdainful, "not enough for my guards." β
"His Excellency seems to have dealt with the CIA as early as the 1960s, and there is no need to waste arguments about what is going on in the United States, let's get to the point." The impatient Tang Huan was too lazy to play tricks with the other party, and asked directly: "I brought the ransom, what about Prince Fahd's body?" I hope that after being directly crushed by the tank, I have received a minimum of respect. β
Seeing that the richest man in Tang, whose fame spread to every corner of the world, ignored his own conversation, Saddam Hussein was very annoyed, so he said in a strange manner: "Then as you wish, I have already arranged a special person to deal with this matter, and you can talk to him in detail." β
Seeing that Saddam Hussein was quite refreshing, Tang Huan frowned slightly, and then relaxed.
Originally, everyone is not familiar with each other, although there was a rift before, but compared to this transaction, it is nothing at all - the poor and red-eyed Iraq gets rich, and he seeks peace of mind and righteousness in the name of Bo Yuntian, each takes what he needs, and never sees each other in the future, can he afford to spend so much money?
After seeing what Saddam Hussein called "a special person to deal with this matter", Tang Huan understood why there was a kind of insidious in the other party's smile, and the emotion was to send the bitter master, Uday.
For possible embarrassment, Mr. The richest man really has no pressure. Gain's own visit to Baghdad at great risk has already proved that he has "stuck a knife in his friend's ribs", and if Iraq does not want a lot of real money, it will only be regrettable, after all, he has done his best and has a clear conscience.
However, before coming, Tang Huan and his team had already made as comprehensive a plan as possible, including a reunion with Uday.
In the other party's resentful gaze, Tang Huan took a beautiful box from the assistant's hand, then gently opened it, and showed the FabergΓ© Easter egg given to him by the Soviet Union inside, "I remember that you have always had a soft spot for this egg, and from now on, it belongs to you." β
Finally got the treasure he dreamed of, Uday couldn't help but pinch his legs, and seemed to feel that the man's ambition that had been lost by the richest man rolling on the ground was back!
"In addition to the ransom I promised, I have also prepared additional gifts for you to make up for the unpleasant things that happened at the beginning." Tang Huan took out a photo from the large envelope handed over by the assistant and gave it to the other party to admire, and explained: "These gifts are not something that can be bought with money, and they are even more precious than gold. β
"This is the world's most advanced HIV antibody screening test; This is a new drug similar to Viagra; This is the latest camera with a WYSIWYG feature; This is the video I found for you from RB, using the latest digital VCD, and it is very ciliary......"
"The gifts were generous, and the photos were not taken one by one. Luckily, it's already yours. Once you've completed the transaction, you can look at it however you want! β
These things, scratching the itch of Uday one by one, can be said to be dazzling and snorting, and they quickly fell into the pit of the richest man's "sugar-coated cannonball".
β¦β¦
When he learned that it took less than 24 hours for the richest man in Tang to complete all the affairs and leave Iraq smoothly, Saddam Hussein called Uday, slapped him in annoyance, and angrily reprimanded: "You are such a young egg!" β
At about the same time, Silicon Valley One arrived in Riyadh, the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia, where a large and solemn procession awaited.
Due to the special circumstances, some Arab traditions could not take care of it, so they had to rush to the power - Prince Fahd's body was loaded and transported in a coffin that had been prepared earlier.
The Kuwaiti royal family, whose country is ruined, attaches great importance to the return of Prince Fahd's body. The announcement by the Emir of Kuwait, Jaber III, in front of everyone that he would hold an official funeral for his younger brother after Kuwait was restored, undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Kuwaiti government-in-exile.
Saudi Arabia, which was facing the scourge of swords from Iraq at any time, naturally enthusiastically praised Prince Fahd's heroic resistance to foreign enemies in order to defend his country, so as to achieve the goal of a national mobilization of one heart and one mind to resist foreign enemies.
You must know that although the US "Desert Shield" operation has been launched, compared with the huge size of Iraq's army, the number of US troops arriving in Saudi Arabia is really not enough to see -- it will take at least three months for enough troops to be deployed. If Saddam Hussein really went crazy and raised troops to attack, this embroidered pillow in Saudi Arabia would really be hanging.
Regardless of the starting point, Tang Huan's welcoming back of Prince Fahd's body actually greatly boosted the morale of Kuwaiti exiles and Saudi Arabia, so the warm reception he received can be imagined.
Jaber III said in private: "Don, we will compensate you for this ransom." β
Tang Huan hurriedly waved his hand, and Zhengse replied: "I want to do something for my old friend from the bottom of my heart, and the ransom is not worth mentioning." β
Jaber III sighed, "Then when you sell your assets, make up for it." β
Seeing that the exiled monarch was worried about the great cause of restoring the country, Tang Huan encouraged: "Through the media disclosure, the atrocities of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait have been revealed to the world, and Kuwait has received the widest sympathy from the mainstream world; The production and quality of Kuwait's oil is an important strategic interest that is difficult for the developed countries of the West to give up, and no one wants to see it fall into the hands of the ambitious Saddam Hussein. The United States is already taking action, and members of Congress are arguing about nothing more than the trivial question of whether it is worth 'spending a huge amount of military money and risking a repeat of the Vietnam War'; the real problem facing Kuwait is time, and if Iraq rules for every day, the influence of the royal family there will be weakened, and if it is delayed for too long, even if Kuwait is liberated in the future, the position of the royal family will be full of uncertainties. β
Tang Huan's last reminder can be said to have hit the heart of Jaber III, and he opened his mouth to plead: "Don, for the sake of our great friendship, please help in terms of publicity and funding - we have spent $11 million in the United States to set up an organization called 'Kuwait Freedom', which needs to be featured in more media channels; in addition, in the process of raising tens of billions of dollars in a short period of time, we often encounter the embarrassment of high-quality assets being sold too hard." β
"I will do everything I can to help the royal family recover." The richest man said without hesitation.
β¦β¦
Tang Huan's dizzying busyness touched the nerves of the whole world.
CNN, which followed the report, quickly launched a documentary called "24 Hours" with the advanced digital video technology, showing the difficulties, dangers, tensions and so on to the public.
The image of a lonely hero who is righteous and cloudy has been vividly shaped, and I don't know how many people have been worshipped.
Seeing this scene, Hollywood, which has a keen sense of smell, was inspired and began to create works with similar themes in full swing, especially the "007" series of film teams that used similar materials in the original work, and they were even more ecstatic.
Tang Huan, who has written countless IT technical articles and has literary works at the top of the best-selling list of popular books, naturally complied with public opinion and the advice of the advisory team and authorized the well-known author to launch the first part of the "Silicon Valley One" series.
All this, when Tang Huan returned to the United States, the degree of popularity he received can be imagined.
In front of thousands of journalists at HSD Dulles International Airport, the first thing he said was: "Sorry for the surprise." I only did what I was supposed to do, and I didn't expect it to cause such a big hassle. β
There is naturally a reason why Mr. the richest man said this, how can there be no explanation for the "Red Wednesday" commotion?
You must know that Michael Milken, the "junk bond king" who dominated the 1980s, pleaded guilty to six crimes in April this year, and paid a total of $1.1 billion for fines, compensation, and settlement, and faced 10 years in prison.
Tang Huan's first trip after arriving in the HSD Special Zone was to visit the headquarters of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, anyway, he dared to say confidently that he really did not get any speculative benefits on "Red Wednesday".
The richest man is now too sharp, his stature is so low, and more importantly, the facts are very clear, there is indeed no illegal interest, so after drinking a cup of coffee, he was personally sent out by Richard Briden, the current chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
After seeing this scene, a large number of media reporters waiting outside also had a clear understanding -- since there was no scandal, then everyone should continue to follow the general trend and praise Mr. the richest man.
β¦β¦
After getting rid of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the empress who no one could provoke, Tang Huan went to the White House non-stop, hurriedly met with Bush Sr., and then talked freely with Secretary of State James Baker.
The White House is definitely going to use force against Iraq, otherwise the other side will not leave Kuwait -- everything that can be grabbed will be removed, and the rest will be oil. But the war requires popular support, after all, the effects of the Vietnam War still emerge from time to time.
Of course, the excuses are easy to find, starting with the most realistic and utilitarian card -- the importance of oil to the US economy and the long-standing friendly relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia.
As a result, some anti-war activists in the United States have issued an appeal for "not exchanging blood for oil," and there is quite a market.
Tang Huan just laughed at such verbal cannons -- of course, the opposition in the audience can irresponsibly say whatever they want, but when they come to power, they must consider their interests as the decisive factor. The only function of all flowery surface articles is to decorate.
In addition, according to the previous style, when Uncle Sam wields a big stick, he must drag a group of followers to shout and cheer.
Seeing Tang Huan so righteously campaigning for the Kuwaiti royal family, James Baker planned to ask him to continue to exert influence while his popularity was soaring, and help form an alliance to support the Kuwaiti royal government.
So far, the alliance has included more than 30 willing countries, including Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Honduras, Italy, Kuwait, Morocco, the Netherlands, Niger, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Korea, Spain, Syria, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.
A deep-pocketed country like West Germany can contribute billions of dollars without hesitation, but other small countries will certainly have to use preferential terms such as economic aid and debt forgiveness to lure them. There were also concerns among some members that the war was an intra-Arab war and that the influence of the United States in Kuwait would be greatly strengthened.
Such noises need to be smoothed out one by one, and the richest man with a charming personality and countless kryptonite eyes at this stage is undoubtedly the best lobbyist.
The liberation of Kuwait was an indisputable act of justice, and Tang Huan certainly accepted it without any psychological burden -- then continue to build up his prestige. (To be continued.) )
