2213 [Invincible]
USA.
It has been more than a month since the Gulf War ended.
Starting from March 10, the US military began to implement the "Farewell to the Desert Operation" plan and gradually withdrew its troops from the Middle East.
But not all US troops withdraw from the Middle East, and 5,000 of them are stationed at the Saudi "Prince Sudan" air base.
In name, it is to protect Saudi security and prevent the Iraqi government from making a comeback.
In fact, Sima Zhao's heart is well known to everyone. The United States' move is to increase its presence and voice in the Middle East.
Unfortunately, although the US troops stationed in the Middle East did contribute to its influence in the Middle East, it also aroused dissatisfaction among the people of the Middle East, believing that this approach was just another form of colonial aggression.
This made the United States' people's hearts in the Middle East a major mistake and became the target of public criticism.
Saudi Arabia, which allowed it to garrison troops, was also regarded as a betrayer of the Alaber world, which aroused the hostility of extremists.
Under such circumstances, in order to win back the hearts of the people of the Alaber world, Saudi Arabia supported the construction of hundreds of monasteries around the world and attracted all organizations willing to support it.
The famous Kids Organization in his previous life was Saudi Arabia. This also led to the embarrassment of relations between the United States and Saudi Arabia after the 9/11 incident.
...
At the end of the Gulf War, the Covet royal family successfully regained power and regained control of Covet.
Next, it is time to talk about war compensation and property return.
With the help of Xiao Bushi in the summer, he easily got his own oil wells. In addition to the oil wells he bought with Xiao Bushi, there are also oil wells he purchased from the HSBC, with a total value of more than 35 billion US dollars.
In comparison, the oil wells invested by other consortiums are not so easy to return. As expected in the summer, the oil wells invested by some consortiums were really detained by the Covet royal family.
The reason is that the Iraqi army burned the corresponding documents when retreating, so it was impossible to prove the ownership of the oil well, and therefore the Kovitzan Mansion has the right to take it back.
Of course, those consortiums did not do it. The lawsuit was filed until the International Fat Court, which took more than ten years. By the time the oil well was finally recovered, the oil well had been left empty.
Xia Tian knew that if he hadn't had Xiao Bushi's help, he would have ended up like these consortiums. So he reciprocated his favor and donated 20 million US dollars to Lao Bushi.
After the oil well was taken back, Xia Tian sent someone to conduct a census. Fortunately, the oil well was not particularly damaged, and it was only about one-tenth of the blown-up.
Although there were billions of dollars in losses, when acquiring HSBC oil wells in the summer, they all acquired them at extremely low prices. Therefore, adding and subtracting the two, he not only did not lose money, but instead made a small profit.
After the oil is mined in the future, he will make more money.
...
In addition to recovering the oil well, the intermediary company formed by Xiatian and Xiaobushi was also established.
This agency is basically a bag company. Apart from the two bosses Xiatian and Xiaobushi, there are only some basic clerks left and no valuable assets.
The company's operating routine is to talk to Covet about the post-war reconstruction, and then join hands with Xia Tianxia Group to undertake the reconstruction project. The intermediary company takes a commission from it to make a profit.
Xiatian and Xiaobushi each invested 100,000 US dollars, both of them were big bosses, but in fact, no one pointed to this company to make money.
Xiao Bushi is interested in the kickbacks given by both sides, while Xia Tian is interested in the reconstruction plan of hundreds of billions of dollars, and the two sides hit it off.
With his father's face, Xiao Bushi quickly got a big job, which was to rebuild the East District of Covet City.
During this war, the city of Covet was attacked by Iraq and coalition forces one after another, with broken walls and ruins and pits everywhere, and urgently needed reconstruction.
The East District is the center of the Covet country, with government agencies, high-end communities, royal palaces, etc., all here. If you do well, you can earn at least 400,000 US dollars.
When the summer got the news, Liu Luanxiong was sent to inspect immediately. If there was any profit, take it down immediately.
...
Having said that, the United States.
This year marks the year when the U.S. presidential election begins.
This year, the Republican and Democratic Party, the two major parties in the United States, will launch their own campaigners and then face off next year. Once the election is successful, it will take office in the year after, that is, in 1993, and become the next US president.
However, now, Lao Bushi's reputation in the United States is at its peak with his outstanding achievements in the victory of the Gulf War. He has just become a president and can choose another one.
Looking at the successive presidential elections in the United States, the current presidential elections have a very high chance of re-election. In addition, Lao Bushi's current reputation, for a time, all the bigwigs of the Democratic Party factions were afraid before the battle, and no one dared to stand up to fight.
"No of these Democratic parties can fight. I think this presidential election is likely to win. Brother, are you right?" Xia Xue asked Xia Tian with a smile.
The American genitals have always been controlled by lawyers and businessmen. Because lawyers are smart, eloquent, good at speaking, and good at bewitching people's hearts, many of them have entered politics. Among the forty successive presidents in the United States, twenty-four are lawyers.
Businessmen are responsible for providing financial support and remote control behind the scenes. If all customers want to win the election, they must first win the support of merchants. Otherwise, no matter how talented they are, how revenge they are, or how they want to serve the people, it would be just a fantasy.
As a top student at Stanford University's Fax College, Xia Xue is naturally very concerned about the genitals and elections.
"We should not make any speculation before the result comes out." Xia Tian waved his hand with a smile, "Chinese history tells us that 子是一 is the cruelest thing. If you accidentally stand in the wrong team, you may be crushed to pieces."
There are many loyal ministers, filial sons, talented men and beautiful women in history. Because they stood in the wrong team in the struggle for the rule of law, their families were confiscated and their families were sentenced to death.
For example, Cao Xueqin, the author of "Dream of Red Mansions", was dismissed from office and went bankrupt because his family was in the wrong team in the Kowloon battle for the throne.
Of course, now is different from the past. Even if you fail to take the team, you will not lose your life, but it is inevitable that you will suffer business losses. After all, when the emperor and the minister, whoever is elected will give priority to taking care of their own financial owners.
"Yes." Xia Xue nodded.
"By the way, won't that Bill Clinton come out on behalf of the Democratic Party?" Xia Tian asked with a smile again.
"He shouldn't be qualified." Xia Xue frowned when she heard this, "He is only forty-five years old this year. Although he has served as the governor of Arkansas and is currently the chairman of the Supreme Democratic Committee, compared to those Democratic bosses, he is actually a younger generation and may not be his turn to run for the election."
"Now, Lao Bushi is at its peak, and all the Democratic bosses are afraid to fight. This is the time when a young man like him emerges." Xia Tian smiled, "Contact him and see if he is interested in choosing. If so, you can support him with all your strength."
"Support him?!" Xia Xue was stunned, widened her eyes and asked in surprise, "Brother, shouldn't we support Lao Bushi?"
"Oh, I can just have my support from Lao Bushi." Xia Tian smiled, "Do you still remember the story of the Zhuge family in the Three Kingdoms era?"
Xia Xue blinked her eyes and then suddenly realized.
During the Three Kingdoms period, several talents from the Zhuge family served the Wei, Shu and Wu. Zhuge Liang was Liu Bei's military and the prime minister of Shu Han; Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin was a strategist under Sun Quan; Zhuge Liang's cousin Zhuge Dan was a general under Cao Wei...
This practice of diversifying investment and not putting eggs in the same basket is why these aristocratic families can stand firm in troubled times and inherit wisdom for thousands of years.
The Xia family is now more powerful than the ancient aristocratic families, so when it comes to taking sides, they must be careful and strive to be invincible.
