Chapter 421: Reincarnation is also a technique
The names of big dog families are complicated, but this Alwaleed bin Talal Asoud is very famous.
The inherent person on the pig killing list, the gold digger with capital, a generation of legends.
As a teenager, Alwaleed listened to BBC radio news, learned about business, and read current affairs magazines and newspapers.
In 1976, he went to the United States alone to pursue a master's degree in economics, which was the second stage of his life.
Tang Dao read his memoirs, which have a sentence that says, "The experience of going to the United States alone gave Alwalid self-confidence." ”
In 1979, he returned to Saudi Arabia after completing his studies and began to venture into the business world. His father financed him $15,000, and he mortgaged a $1.5 million house that his father gave him to get $400,000 in cash, which was definitely a lot of money at the time, and he later admitted that his first pot of money was more like being sponsored by his father, but... Reincarnation is also a skill.
Networking and relationships are also a science.
With this capital, he embarked on a series of business ventures. After the two oil crises in the 70s of the 20th century, Saudi Arabia harvested a large amount of petrodollars in the international oil market, and domestic business activities became increasingly active.
Alwaleed used his connections and the small amount of capital he had in his hands to start a trade agency and contracting business, and in just a few years, he made tens of millions of dollars in profits a year. Then, Alwaleed foresaw in time that the government's petrodollar-dependent high welfare policy would greatly stimulate the country's real estate market. He made a decisive move to buy a large estate estate in the capital, Riyadh, laying the foundation for him to become the largest private property owner in the region.
With Alwalid's success in construction and real estate, his fortune "snowballed". He established the "Kingdom Holding Company" and extended his tentacles to other areas.
In 1986, he became the largest shareholder of the Saudi Union Bank, which had been losing money for many years, and in 1989 transformed the bank into the most profitable commercial bank.
By the '90s, Alwaleed had set his sights on the wider international market, and had successfully used his wealth and royal lineage to weave a network of dignitaries and business tycoons. Over the next decade or so, Alwaleed spent huge sums of money on shares in internationally renowned companies. He has invested in a series of internationally renowned companies such as Citibank, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, McDonald's, Disney, Motorola, Time Warner, Ford, Amazon, eBay, Kodak, and Four Seasons. Most of his investments are in the United States, where he is the largest foreign individual investor.
It is estimated that his personal worth has exceeded 8 billion US dollars, of course, many things are because the estimated price fluctuates too much, and it is impossible to give an accurate price, but it can be confirmed that this is definitely a big man standing at the top of the business circle.
There is no way to make up for the difference between Tang Dao and the other party, such as the royal status, this thing is destined to meet different people.
But as long as Tang Dao is given time, he feels that he will definitely surpass the other party, after all, the war will never stop...
"Thank you very much, I'm waiting for your good news." After Tang Dao finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and the smile on his face slowly converged, this is unexpected news, but if he can get close to Asude, will it be able to make a deal with them in weapons?
You know, the Saudi army is notoriously stupid and has a lot of money!
On this planet, there is a magical country, sitting on a mountain of gold, spending money like earth, and this magical country has raised a magical army, the world's most advanced arms have been bought, and military spending even once surpassed Russia to rank third in the world, why is it so good? Do you have a mine at home? Although there are no mines, but there is some oil, no more, no less, almost one-fifth of the world's oil reserves, the main thing is that it is too rich, and then... was beaten by some small guerrillas and cried and cried for his mother.
These high-end and high-grade armament configurations, so that the Saudi army from head to toe exudes a really good temperament of money, and more capricious, but whenever there is a new weapon launched, the military industrial enterprises of the Western world are flocking, Saudi Arabia will immediately start without hesitation and "transfer the previous equipment to the reserves", to put it bluntly, it is to throw it into the desert to accumulate dust, in fact, from the equipment level alone, Saudi Arabia's military strength has surpassed most European countries, and even, there are small countries drooling, but the family is too poor.
It is a pity that money may not be able to do whatever it wants, and it may not be possible to buy the world's most luxurious weapons, but it may not be able to buy combat effectiveness, which can be described as a world-famous scum, and this is still a "fine tradition"; as early as during the Gulf War, their combat effectiveness has already leaked out, and after the US Air Force's wanton and indiscriminate bombing, the Iraqi army at this time has greatly reduced its vigor and morale, and the Saudi army wants to take this opportunity to launch a superior force to fight the autumn wind and deal a heavy blow to the enemy when necessary.
And then: Daddy save me! I can't bear it, the other party is so fierce! Boom.
Eagle Sauce: Fack! You idiot, who told you to add XO to the plane? Walt? You take your Rolex to battle?
After this battle, the general army will reflect on the problem, and the Saudi army is naturally no exception, but their conclusion is to blame the French AMX30B2-made tank armor for being too crispy, so that the soldiers do not dare to come forward and fight head-to-hand with the Type 69 tank equipped by the Iraqi army, so they decided to exchange the French goods for American goods, as for whether they have problems, it is not in the scope of consideration.
The level is even more exposed, the tank and the infantry fight separately, do not cover each other, the tank is used as a fixed battery and is blown up from behind, the armored car is more funny, hiding behind the pickup to advance, and what's worse is that the Saudi soldiers on the front line show extreme war weariness, fear of war, and low combat ability, sometimes, once they enter the firefight, many Saudi combat vehicles symbolically put two guns and immediately turn around and retreat, and even worse, leave their intact equipment and flee from the battlefield in a hurry, As a result, the enemy's armed forces picked up ammunition and fuel-rich advanced weapons in vain, which is even more powerful than Chang Kaishen, the captain of the transport brigade.
It's not that we're too awesome, but that the other party is stupid X!
Once, in the face of militants with less weapons and equipment and personnel than themselves, Saudi soldiers held out for more than two hours, and this operation was greatly appreciated by the media, considering it an excellent defensive battle!
At that time, some military experts made a lot of deductions for this operation, and they found that if it was a normal army, it could almost completely annihilate the other side, but what about Saudi soldiers? Two were killed...
Never seen such an army, they are simply born "stupid X!" ”
Positioning, looking back... Bang! I beat myself to death.
But Tang Dao likes such customers, the faster he loses, the faster he loses, the sales of his weapon are not afraid, as long as he can pull this line!
This is an opportunity.
If you can get even one of the group army's weapons supply order, Tang Dao can eat a mouthful of oil, of course, under this premise, the price is raised first, AK sells for two or three hundred dollars, who to look down on? Fifty percent increase!
Anyway, it's not bad money!
