Chapter 829 Garbage Price Buys Heavy Treasure
Guo's words made the new president think for a long time. Although Guo Zhuocheng said it was not polite at all, but calm down and think about it, this is indeed the case. Although the country is small and has a small population, it is a military power. From their two operations against atomic reactors, the entry and exit of their troops in Iraq was as simple as shopping. This time they were able to blow up the atomic reactor, which was really unexpected by Uday and the others, which could really be called a bite in their chest right under their noses.
It is not impossible to completely guard against the attack of the sè column, but the cost is too high. In addition to the cost of beware, there is also the cost of the atomic reactor itself, which cost $4.2 billion last time to buy and build this facility, and another one will cost another $4.2 billion, or even more, because the price of a lot of equipment has increased.
Not to mention the $4.2 billion, which is now impoverished, Iraq cannot afford it, but China is also struggling to afford it.
After thinking about it for a long time, the current reality and his trust in Guo Zhuocheng finally dispelled the idea of resuming the construction of an atomic reactor. He promised to send to China the equipment that had not been blown up in the control room, and to send all the experts involved in the project to China. However, he also made a request, that is, he hoped that in the future, when conditions permit, Iraq would be allowed to use Chinese technology to build new reactors.
Guo did not immediately give a clear answer to Uday's request, after all, the authorization he received from his superiors was to exchange Chinese weapons for these equipment, as for helping Iraq build reactors. He can't be the master. However, he still agreed to put Uday's request to his superiors and strive to build a completely civilian nuclear power plant for Iraq in the future.
Uday's face was a little disappointed, but Guo Zhuocheng still did not let go. Not to mention that his inner thoughts are the same as the country's goal, which is to try to prevent nuclear proliferation, but it is different, and he must also be subordinated to national interests. Uday trusted him. He didn't trust Uday, he came to Uday with the same virtue as Saddam, and he was a ruthless person.
As for how much more useful those remnants of equipment are still used. Guo was unable to assess it for a while, but he knew that the equipment that had not been contaminated by nuclear radiation would certainly be of great help to China, and that it would be able to help China improve its nuclear power plant technology and atomic energy technology.
After all, France's atomic technology is still good. Many technologies are much stronger than China's.
The nuclear reactor and the control room are separated, and there are layers of thick cement walls in the middle, although there are strict nuclear radiation shè on the reactor side, but there are very few nuclear radiation shè on the control compartment side, and there are still a lot of equipment that have not been blown up. The main thing is that there is still a lot of information available.
When discussing how much weapons China paid to Iraq in exchange for these materials, fragmentary parts, and experts, both of them were generous people, and neither of them paid much attention to this aspect, because both of them had an eye on the future, and more importantly, they had a "deep personal friendship", and they did not deliberately want to make more money when they made an offer.
Soon the two hit it off. Uday has ambitions on the political zhì. Kwok has business ambitions and takes what he needs.
If it weren't for Guo Zhuocheng's arrival, it would have been impossible for China to get these precious things so smoothly.
Uday has just sat on the presidency, and there are many things, and Guo Zhuocheng has a lot of things. The two didn't stay for a long time to talk before breaking up and saying goodbye: the big policy was decided, and the rest of the details were discussed by other staff.
Uday sent Guo Zhuocheng to the elevator before leaving, welcoming Guo Zhuocheng to come to Iraq more in the future, Guo Zhuocheng smiled and agreed to the other party's invitation.
Guo Zhuocheng had just walked out of the presidential palace building not far from the presidential palace accompanied by the presidential assistant, and Princess Madeleine came out of nowhere and suddenly threw herself into Guo Zhuocheng's arms like a child. Hug him tightly.
After kissing him on the cheek, she said proudly, "My dear, I'm coming!" ”
Guo Shucheng hugged her gently and asked with a smile, "Didn't you just come tomorrow morning?" ”
A handsome man behind Princess Madeleine smiled and said, "Where can she wait for tomorrow?" Knowing that you came here and invited her, she never slept, hehe. ......, Guo, hello, my name is Halepsi, and I am the cousin of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Guo Shucheng stretched out his hand to shake him and said, "Hello." I already knew about you from Your Highness. He sent her? ”
Because Guo Zhuocheng is not fluent in Spanish, all three of them speak English. Everyone else was pushed aside by the princess's bodyguards.
Princess Madeleine explained, "He sent me, but he has something to do with you himself. ”
Guo Shucheng smiled: "Your Highness, you can completely call the shots about that matter, why do you want me to decide?" ”
"I would still like to have a personal conversation with you," said Haleps. Her Royal Highness didn't like that island very much. Because she is a woman, she has a natural resistance to desolation and remoteness. Only real men are interested in a small piece of land in the middle of the sea, and how attractive it is......"
Princess Madeleine interrupted Halleps with a smile and said, "Cousin, are you discriminating against women?" You're right, though, I'm not interested in your island at all. The last time the island was too difficult, and it was better to stay in a place where there were almost no people, so it was better to visit the Mediterranean. ......," she said, she turned her head to Guo and said, "Dear Guo, the IIC company is yours, I can't decide such an important matter." Besides, he's still my cousin, we've had a good relationship since we were kids, and he's always cared about me, so I have to avoid it. ”
Looking at the reporter who noticed the movement here from a distance, Guo Zhuocheng hurriedly said: "Let's go back to the place where we live first, standing in front of the presidential palace and talking is too eye-catching." ”
The three of them quickly got into a Madeleine's van and continued the conversation they had just said. Sun Xingguo's car followed Princess Madeleine's convoy.
Guo Zhuocheng has learned the ins and outs of this matter from Princess Madeleine: Beihaleps is not very old, but he inherited a huge fortune from his father and grandparents, and he is a real billionaire, and in his heyday he is on par with the property that Guo Zhuocheng now owns.
If he holds these possessions, even if he does not invest them, the interest generated by them will make his children and grandchildren unusually comfortable
i-child. Even if there is no interest, it will take several lifetimes to spend it just by cashing them out and spending them slowly.
However, the young heart is restless, and no amount of wealth can withstand the squandering.
Born in the royal family, Haleps is not only generous and spends money like water, but more importantly, he has ambition and ambition, and he wants to build a world-renowned business empire with his ability and wealth.
So, he invested everywhere, intervening in any project he thought was profitable, and injecting capital into a company introduced by a friend. Although he also has a precedent of success, but he has no choice but to fail more and succeed less, and after a few years of tossing, the assets left by his father have shrunk sharply and he has liquidity
The decrease in benefits, especially the recent investment in the futures market, has made him anxious.
He bought a short contract in the futures market, but the price of the underlying asset he bought suddenly rose, and he must now keep investing money in the minimum margin to avoid closing the position.
With no cash on hand, in order to reduce losses and realize the big profits he planned, he had to constantly sell his fixed assets, not only to raise funds to invest in the futures market.
After several sales of fixed assets, it gradually became difficult to liquidate, and many relatives and friends who had heard of the news began to dissuade or admonish them. In desperation, he had no choice but to find Princess Madeleine, because he knew that this princess Madeleine, who had been loved since childhood, was rich, and with the good relationship he had grown up with her, it should not be much of a problem to raise a sum of money.
Unexpectedly, Princess Madeleine did not agree as happily as he thought.
If it is a small object, even if it is a million dollars to Halleps, Princess Madeleine is willing to do it, after all, he used to be very good to himself, and he has always cared for himself like a brother, but the problem is that she judged with her business acumen that the futures that Halleps is buying now is a bottomless pit, not to mention giving a million, that is, giving 10 million will not take long for him to spend it.
Although he offered to sell her an island, which was worth 80 million dollars at the international market price, Princess Madeleine did not dare to buy it, and even though she was a princess, she did not have so much cash to come up with.
As for the use of IIC's funds, it is even more impossible, she is not a person who does not distinguish between public and private.
The island is located in the Republic of Palau, a Pacific island nation, and belongs to the territory of Palau, but Haleps has the right to own and use it.
At Halleps's plea, Princess Madeleine had no choice but to report his opinion to Guo Zhuocheng. After listening to this, Guo Zhuocheng felt that there was nothing wrong with buying an island, as long as the price was right, he would buy one.
So, he authorized Princess Madeleine to take matters into her own hands, and as long as she saw fit, if she didn't have much money to buy and develop, she would buy it in the name of the IIC, not to mention that she could do Halleps a favor?
In Guo Zhuocheng's mind, there is an island, which can be used as a vacation place for the company's employees and a leisure place for the Chinese people who will become rich in the future. Those Chinese who advocate going abroad have a good place to enjoy overseas scenery, and besides, don't they themselves like to lie on the beach and bask in the sun?
Of course, the money for the purchase and development of the island cannot be invested too much, and if a huge amount of money is needed, it is not necessary to talk about it, and he is not yet extravagant enough to throw large sums of money around. If you really want to develop tourist resorts, there are many places in the country, even if it is a beach, isn't Hainan Island ready-made to be developed? Use it to attract foreign tourists and make foreigners' money, so why invest your own money in a foreign country and let others make money?
