Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

"Gentlemen, on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry of the United Kingdom, I make the following request to you-the shares of BP held by the Kuwait Investment Authority must be reduced to 9.6% within 6 months; and BP held by Tang The shares must be reduced to 3% within 3 months.” At the meeting, the British Minister of Trade and Industry David Ivor Young announced with a serious face.

Although the Kuwait Investment Authority was anxious to take the controlling stake of BP, it basically followed Tang Huan’s advice and patiently observed the trend of the London stock market before the end of 1987. As a result, this class ushered in "black". "Monday", the global stock market plummeted. The Kuwait Investment Authority, which was surprisingly surprised, immediately stretched its arms and sucked in BP's shares with great fanfare.

Seeing this scene, the United Kingdom is indescribably depressed. It has just completed the privatization of British Petroleum, and the small colony in the past saw the opportunity to become the master.

how to respond? Britain is even more in a dilemma. If it is allowed to develop, the extremely important British Petroleum company will be spent in his home; if it reaches out to stop it, the United Kingdom will be a little bit insulted, and breaking the rules is really detrimental to its character.

However, in the end, the United Kingdom decided to stop that old face and just set the table-no one should want to take the controlling stake of BP, no matter how rich it is!

That's right, it's that simple! It's so overbearing!

Of course, the United Kingdom also found a reason for its own practice-out of considerations of national interest.

David Ivor Young looked around at the audience, emphasized his tone, and continued: "Our attitude is very clear. You must accept this well-thought-out decision."

The representative of the Kuwait Investment Authority had a gloomy face and said nothing. Even if it had been anticipated before coming, this result was still unacceptable after it came out.

The sorrow of the small country is nothing more than this. If you do your calculations, you can't resist the simple trick of "the final interpretation of this clause belongs to us."

Tang Huan raised his brows and slowly said, "I can reduce my shareholding in BP, but you only give it three months. Don't you think it's a joke?"

"This decision was discussed and approved by the Cabinet." David Ivor Yang replied bluntly.

"You politicians, don't pretend to be ignorant of business rules." Tang Huan sneered and turned his eyes to Peter Walters, chairman of BP. "Sir, you should always be aware that if you push too hard, it may cause problems. Unexpected result."

Peter Walters pondered and asked, "So how much time does Don think he needs?"

"The current holdings of BP are the result of years of increased holdings; if it is to be sold, it must be a process. At the very least, it needs a suitable opportunity with acceptable conditions." Tang Huan thought for a while and replied: "It's a year."

David Ivor Yang shook his head forcibly, took the words, and categorically rejected: "Extend it to six months at most. This is already the most room for bargaining."

"Six months is six months." Tang Huan stood up, "If the UK Department of Trade and Industry has other decisions to make, just notify my assistant team directly. I have something to do and I won’t be able to accompany you. Up."

Since the rascals have played to this level, it is useless to say more. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to see your own baby.

...

Christina, the queen of ships, brought her four sons and daughters to England, and was going around.

Tang Huan hugged his only daughter, Athena, and asked casually with a smile, “I’m out for fun at this time, isn’t AC Milan’s championship already unattractive anymore?”

"Of course not." Christina explained while fiddling with a bunch of materials quite seriously: "I came to the UK this time to go to Eton College specifically to find a satisfactory school for the children."

"Don't you want them to go to politics in the future?" A black line appeared on Tang Huan's forehead. You know, he just despised the politicians of the British cabinet at the meeting.

"The four of them must have their own development." Christina replied naturally.

Tang Huan shook his head, "If I remember correctly, the students admitted by Eton College should be over ten years old."

Christina smiled proudly, "My son is here to break this routine. Their current IQ is not necessarily comparable to those who are studying at Eton College."

Tang Huan reminded: "Since their IQ is very good, they should develop their emotional intelligence. If they are really forced into Eton College, they may appear different because of the obvious age difference, which will adversely affect their growth. ."

"Don't worry, I have a dedicated education team to provide advice, and I know it very well." Christina waved her hand grimly, and then asked: "Britain has turned a blind eye. The search for a controlling stake in BP is justified. Is that over?"

"Otherwise, what else?" Tang Huan gently tossed the ball to Athena, who was holding a small hand. "Actually, for us, BP's identity is mainly brought about by the identity of shareholders, such as intelligence collection, All kinds of conveniences such as passes, and the resulting benefits are the bulk, but Kuwait is extremely disappointed."

"They were going to be prepared for failure." Christina snorted, "Through this incident, the bottom line of the UK can be considered. When it is critical, the rules of flowery and beautiful flowers have really become a decoration."

"It doesn't matter. There are many opportunities to get back." Tang Huan smiled slightly. "The reason for this failure should be summarized as the Kuwait Investment Authority seems to have strong financial resources and strong limelight, but the real energy is only there. It's just money, it can't resist Britain's rogue cheeks."

Christina's eyes lit up when she heard her, "My dear, have you found any funny loopholes?"

Tang Huan took the ball thrown back by Athena, and while turning his fingers against the ball, he teased his daughter with her small mouth open and her face full of admiration. He said leisurely: "Western European countries have always been keen to engage in Europe. Integration, but the UK’s attitude towards this is always a bit sloppy, so there are inevitably signs of disconnection in the financial system. Compared to a small British Petroleum company, there must be more smart people who are silently observing In this situation, all we need to do is to prepare patiently, and then take advantage of the chaos. At that time, you can see whether Britain is lying on the ground or pinching the nose."

Christina, who has never been too big, smiled excitedly: "At that time, it is estimated that the Kuwait Investment Authority will definitely retaliate back. This is a lively watch."

Tang Huan changed the ball from the left finger to the right finger juggling, which caused Athena to cheer and rushed to take the ball away.

"Little baby, don't follow me. Otherwise, your fingers will become short and thick, very ugly." Tang Huan carefully reminded Athena to stick out her tongue and put down the ball.

Tang Huan, who was very amused, smiled. He picked up the school information that Christina had played with and glanced at it for a few times, then took the conversation and said: "I am afraid that in the next few years, it will be difficult for the Kuwait Investment Bureau to have that energy Up."

"Why?" Christina's curiosity was no worse than the daughter who was studying how her father did the juggling just now.

"Because Kuwait kept poking at a white-eyed wolf who could turn his face ruthlessly at any time." Tang Huan sighed. "The Iran-Iraq war has seen powerlessness to continue. Both Iraq and Iran have been beaten into a mess. The contradiction is conceivable."

"Iraq, which has already owed tens of billions of dollars in debt outside, considers itself as a buffer for Arab countries and Iran and has paid a lot. It should be forgiven for debts. At the same time, it should find ways to raise oil prices to increase income and restore national strength. But Kuwait and Iran Saudi Arabia has always been strangling this rope to force Iraq to make concessions on their conflicts. Kuwait's request is mainly about border disputes, and it has even turned to the United States for help."

"Look at it, this is a gunpowder keg, Saddam Hussein may make some crazy moves to divert domestic conflicts because he maintains his rule."

"You mean, there will be war in the Persian Gulf?" Christina murmured to herself, "This will not cause the third world oil crisis to break out, right?"

"Who can tell." Tang Huan spread his hands, "In short, as long as we keep our eyes open and make more preparations, the crisis will also provide opportunities."

...

After bargaining, the Kuwait Investment Authority and the British Ministry of Trade and Industry finally reached an agreement: In the next twelve months, the Kuwait Investment Authority will reduce its holdings of BP shares to 9.6%.

After suffering a sap in the UK, the Kuwait Investment Authority, which had to brake hard, suffered a severe blow to its morale.

During the next meeting with Tang Huan, Prince Sabah sighed again and again without seeing the outside world-after a round of tossing, he only ended up in nothing, and contributed to the vitality of the British financial market in vain.

Tang Huan couldn’t say too much, he could only comfort him: “Fortunately, he has borrowed from the global stock market crash of'Black Monday' and has well controlled the acquisition cost. In the next six months to one year, as long as the operation is appropriate It is also a profitable investment action."

The entire Kuwaiti royal family has long been convinced by Tang Huan, so Prince Al-Sabah listened and nodded and said: "Since the United Kingdom is so domineering, the Kuwait Investment Authority will turn its investment direction to Spain. We are very welcome there. And because of the right to host the 1992 Olympics, it can be said to have unlimited business opportunities."

The hometown of President Samaranch of the International Olympic Committee, Barcelona, ​​Catalonia, Spain, defeated Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Birmingham, England, and Australia at the IOC held in Lausanne, Switzerland on October 17, 1986. Brisbane and Paris, France, were selected as the host sites of the 1992 Summer Olympics.

After the introduction of the commercial operation model, the value of bidding for the Olympics was reproduced. The 1984 Los Angeles Olympics is a commonplace talk. Although there are still a few months before the opening of the Seoul Olympics this year, the achievements have been widely recognized. .

Taking advantage of the opportunity of hosting the Olympic Games, in addition to South Korea's major construction projects, Seoul has also received an opportunity to adjust its urban construction and has a completely new look. Even the Korean political arena is working hard to put aside various differences under the same goal of "showing the image of South Korea to the outside world," achieving a smooth change in the power structure.

In short, the benefits of hosting the Olympic Games in regions with strong execution capabilities are still very obvious.

Spain’s international status has been a bit embarrassing for a long time due to the improper **** sitting during the Second World War; economically, until 1950, it was a backward and self-reliant agricultural country-farmers mostly used cattle to plow the fields and use windmills and buckets for irrigation; The industry is dominated by mining and some light industries; other industries are very weak.

Since the 1960s, Spain has implemented a full-scale opening to the outside world, using its relatively cheap labor force, introducing a large amount of foreign capital and technology, vigorously developing tourism ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and actively encouraging labor exports, which has promoted the rapid development of the country's economy. Created the "Spanish miracle".

However, although Spain is a developed industrial country in the world, it is still a "poorer" country in this circle. It is similar to the situation in South Korea. There is great room for improvement, and the promotion of the Olympic Games is even greater. For obvious.

In this case, Spain naturally welcomes wealthy people like the Kuwait Investment Authority to join in.

Prince Sabah further invited: "Tang, the prospects for real estate projects there are very good, so why don't we continue to cooperate."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Tang Huan smiled bitterly, "Don't forget, because the Fisher fleet salvaged the Spanish treasure ship of the great nautical era in the Caribbean. There is always a problem of ownership between me and Spain. It."

"I ignored this factor." Prince Sabah slapped his thigh in annoyance.

"Let's go with the flow." Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, "Iraq sank my Sea Giant, isn't it a bit embarrassing?"

"Tang, I'm very sorry, but we didn't do well in this aspect of intelligence communication." Prince Sabah first explained, and then said: "I just expressed regret over there."

Tang Huan tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa and said quietly: "Prince, don't blame me for being long-winded, a country like the United Kingdom that pretends to be a gentleman can be a rogue, and a hero like Saddam Hussein, even At any time, he may turn his face ruthlessly because his own interests cannot be satisfied."

"We are naturally prepared." Prince Al-Sabah replied calmly: "Didn't we invite the U.S. Navy to **** the Kuwait tanker? They won't be evacuated from the Persian Gulf so quickly."
