Reborn Capital Madman

To be honest, Gao Xian and Stanley Ho's work in Tehran went very smoothly, but privately the premise was to provide benefits to all joints.

The king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. This is the situation described. At this stage, when working in Tehran, you absolutely cannot avoid the various corruption phenomena that the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Xiangjiang is cracking down on.

It is not difficult to understand. King Pahlavi himself is a playboy. He is a big patron of various high-end nightclubs in the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, and works with Gene Tierney, Rita Hayworth, and Silva

Na Mangano and other stunningly beautiful Hollywood actresses frequently spread scandals. They enjoy themselves so much. One can imagine how many of his subordinates can do things sincerely.

King Pahlavi launched a series of economic and social reforms in recent years, including the "White Revolution", to non-violently rebuild Iranian society to achieve the goal of making Iran a world power.

However, despite good intentions, various acute problems have emerged one after another. Many reforms have been carried out in a clumsy way or have become victims of political corruption. For example, the land reform plan did not give most tenant farmers enough land to survive, resulting in

Widespread dissatisfaction.

The gap between the playboy and the Zhengzhi family cannot be bridged with a slap on the head.

Gao Xian, who had a reference for information asymmetry, deeply felt the potential crisis of royal power during the many days he spent working in Tehran.

Of course, Gao Xian didn't worry about whether King Pahlavi could maintain his power forever. What he cared about was promoting his own financial products, and selling them just before the situation became unstable, and making meaningful profits.

Although the business in Tehran is similar to the business in Saigon, South Vietnam is about to run out of steam, and the Pahlavi dynasty can still survive for a few years, so the mode of operation must not be the same muddled semi-underground, but must be upright and open.

Because of the successful example of King Pahlavi, after getting the business license, there was a steady stream of customers.

At this stage, Iran is not generally rich with its oil resources. For example, King Pahlavi took advantage of the global oil crisis to drive up international oil prices, which caused the Iranian chicken's fart to increase by 50%.

If this example doesn't illustrate how rich Iran is today, there are a series of examples.

For example, Prime Minister Harold Wilson and President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing of the United Kingdom and France, which were deeply involved in the economic recession caused by the global oil crisis, both requested loans from Iran, and King Pahlavi

It was also agreed that Britain and France would each receive a billion-dollar loan from Iran.

Moreover, there is now a flattering tone in public opinion, that is, Iran will soon enter the ranks of first-world countries, so much so that Shah Pahlavi, who led Iran to restore the glory of the Persian Empire in the past, is also enjoying his portraits hanging everywhere and being used by others.

Worship.

In short, the poor in Iran are really poor, the rich are really rich, and the rich are looking forward to getting richer. Customers who go to Gaoyi's Tehran office to buy financial products can spend tens of thousands of dollars at a time, while Pahlavi

The king was worthy of Gao Xian's flattery, and as the icing on the cake, he further expanded his advertising effect and invested another US$40 million.

Gao Xian's reaction to this was unsurprisingly indifferent. Iran is rich now, and King Pahlavi just agreed to deposit $500 million in David Rockefeller's Chase Bank. In comparison, he is just doing hard work.

.

He Hongshen, who was busy building the racecourse without touching his feet, saw Gao Xian sitting and counting money, and he casually exceeded the 50 million US dollars he had invested in the racecourse, so that his own capital flow had just begun in Xiangjiang.

While entering Gaoyi's financial system, Gaoyi's Tehran office can immediately flow out, and I am so convinced that I don't even care about jealousy.

"Everyone says that my casino is making a lot of money every day, but in my opinion, it's too childish in the face of Mr. Gao's speed of making money." He Hongshen poured a glass of wine for Gao Xian in the tone of an admirer.

"It's just a special case where various favorable factors happened to come together. It won't last too long. The big people who can use national resources as business bargaining chips are the ones who do big business." Gao Xian's mentality remains unchanged, "I

I asked Boss He to look for the hotel land, has there been any results yet?"

Gao Xian is constantly attracting money in Tehran, and it is impossible to take all the money away. He still needs to do some face-saving projects, so he must show his attitude of taking from the people and using it for the people, investing in Tehran, and letting Pahlavi

The Shah and the Iranian elite felt that they were right.

There is no doubt that this move went beyond Gao Xian's plan, but the scale of the money attracted also exceeded Gao Xian's expectations, so it is not difficult to accept, so just treat it as a cost.

Of course, face engineering is face engineering.

Gao Xian came up with a series of investment plans, and the first project was just a hotel. Even if it was confiscated by the new government a few years later, there would be nothing to feel sad about.

He Hongshen was about to talk to Gao Xian about this matter. He first complained: "Mr. Gao, your location requirements are a bit difficult. It must be in the embassy area, and you have to get the approval from both the US Embassy in Iran and the Canadian Embassy in Iran.

The road is convenient and even unobtrusively secluded. Are you really not worried about the lack of business in the hotel?"

Gao Xian smiled slightly and said, "From what Boss He said, the place should have been found."

"Of course." He Hongshen said with a proud look on his face, "For this racecourse, the powerful people in Tehran and I walked around a lot. We took out the map and put it around and picked at will."

Gao Xian happily complimented: "I knew that as long as Boss He took action, he would succeed immediately."

Being flattered by a tycoon like Gao Xian is naturally extraordinary.

In his state of mind, He Hongshen did not forget to humbly ask for business advice: "Mr. Gao, I really don't understand your requirements for the location of the hotel."

"Others try to choose the most prosperous location when opening a hotel, but you choose a remote location in the embassy district. What are your considerations?"

There was a smile in Gao Xian's eyes, and he said nonsense: "Boss He, don't think that I am very clever. In fact, my idea is very simple."

“When opening a hotel, it is natural to hope to attract as many customers as possible, but compared to many hotel counterparts, I definitely acted late, so I can only start by accurately locating the customer group. The reason why I chose to build the hotel in the embassy district is

Such considerations.”

"You must know that the embassy is not only composed of ambassadors who perform official duties, but also staff such as counselors, military attachés, secretaries, and their families, as well as various people with different goals. There must be a need for activities in third-party locations.

."

He Hongshen thought he had understood the true meaning and nodded repeatedly: "So, the location of the hotel to be more secluded is also based on this consideration."

"Boss He is indeed a very smart person, and he can tell the truth at once." Gao Xian laughed, "By the way, during the construction process of this hotel, pay attention to strengthening the safety factor, such as fire and bulletproof. In addition, the underground engineering must also be

Do it in secret."

"No problem." He Hongshen assured with understanding: "This hotel can definitely be built together with the racecourse, and it will definitely not delay Mr. Gao's business."

…

For their own money-making plans, the two bosses Gao Xian and He Hongshen worked very hard. They took the lead in Tehran and stayed there for more than a month without knowing it. The time came to August 1974.

.

Working so focused may seem a little lonely, but the world is never really lonely.

US President Richard Nixon, who was deeply involved in the "Watergate Incident", gave a televised speech on the evening of August 8, announcing that he would resign as President of the United States from the next day, becoming the first president in US history to resign during his term of office.

The news, broadcast live on television and radio, immediately became the focus of global media.

A political tycoon like Nixon will certainly not give in easily. However, the automatic recording system for White House calls that he activated after taking office left behind some evidence of his interference in the judicial investigation of the "Watergate Incident". Although it was partially destroyed, there are still some.

, has been analyzed recently.

Faced with impeachment by the U.S. Congress that was almost certain to lead to conviction and a serious loss of political support, Nixon had no choice but to step down.

However, in his resignation speech delivered in the Oval Office of the White House, Nixon did not admit any wrongdoing. He reviewed his achievements as president of the United States, especially in foreign policy.

Almost all people who can sit on the throne of the President of the United States are outstanding speakers.

Nixon's resignation speech was, without exception, full of linguistic skills.

He defended himself by quoting a 1910 speech by former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt: "Sometimes I succeeded, sometimes I failed, but no matter what, I always remembered Theodore.

·Roosevelt's evaluation of the warriors on the battlefield, "The faces of these warriors are mixed with blood, tears and dirt; they all live bravely."

They have encountered ups and downs and mistakes over and over again, but they are still not afraid of mistakes and try their best to practice; they understand passion and dedication, and dedicate their lives to meaningful causes; because they know that success will usher in

Unparalleled heights, even in the face of failure, mean they have the great courage to try.'"

Gao Xian, who listened to the news on the radio, and most of the media commentators who gave positive comments, thought that Nixon's resignation speech was very good.

In Gao Xian's view, Nixon was a truly great statesman. The Sino-U.S. relationship broke the ice and the world's strategic pattern changed; the U.S. pulled out of the quagmire of the Vietnam War; abandoned the dying Brinsonton System... and other major measures are not to adapt to the wind.

What opportunistic politicians can do is to promote governance only if they dare to take up their responsibilities.

No matter what, the "Watergate Incident" was a hurdle that could not be overcome. Nixon would eventually resign and step down. Vice President Gerald Ford took over as President of the United States. As for the vacant Vice President of the United States, he was given to the State of New York.

Governor, third generation member of the Rockefeller family, Nelson Rockefeller, brother of David Rockefeller.

But the "Watergate Incident" hole will definitely not be filled if only Nixon steps down. In this year's U.S. midterm elections, the Republican Party is destined to lose, and the Democratic Bamboo Party will undoubtedly reap the dividends of this political struggle.

This is the new landscape of American politics. There is nothing new to say about Gao Xian, but he still maintains a great deal of attention.

Because Gao Xian knew that the time had come for him to harvest resources.

In Gao Xian's view, a US president who steps down is a useful US president, especially a political bigwig like Nixon.

You know, Nixon fought his way from being a member of the House of Representatives, a member of the Senate, the Vice President of the United States, to the President of the United States. You can imagine the richness of the resources he accumulated.

This year, Nixon is only in his early sixties. For an elite like him, he is still in his prime age. Although his political life is over, he can still play a role in other fields.

Based on Gao Xian's understanding of Nixon's temperament, Nixon would definitely not be willing to have infamy and stain accompany him throughout his life.

In the "old script", with amazing perseverance and courage, Nixon spent the remaining twenty years of his life to restore his reputation.

Resources that others are not optimistic about are the easiest resources to acquire. Gao Xian plans to break through the original relationship between himself and Nixon.

Therefore, Gao Xian was preparing to leave Tehran and go to the United States to visit Nixon who was at the lowest point in his life.

As for the work in Tehran, everything is on track and can be left to the subordinates.

He Hongshen, who knew Gao Xian's itinerary, patted his chest and assured, "Although Mr. Gao is busy, I will still stay in Tehran for a while, and I will definitely have to travel back and forth between Xiangjiang and Tehran in the future. I can help take care of some

."

After Gao Xian thanked him, he went to say goodbye to King Pahlavi.

"I heard that the U.S. Congress has approved the nomination of Nelson Rockefeller as Vice President of the United States, and the new top leadership of the United States has been formed." King Pahlavi said sincerely: "There are some things, my Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary

It may not be possible to do it, so I ask Gao Gao to help check and fill in the gaps."

Gao Xian, who understood deeply, expressed his position very straightforwardly: "Your Majesty takes such good care of my business in Tehran, and of course I want to repay this favor. Don't worry, I will definitely take active actions if I can help."

The delighted King Pahlavi promised with a smile: "Gao has made outstanding contributions to the development of Iran. When you come to Tehran next time, I will definitely award you with a medal."

"No, I'm just trying to make a fortune in silence, but I don't want any honors or honors, lest I become the target of hostility from the new Iranian regime in the future." Gao Xian, muttering in his heart, thanked him repeatedly with a flattered look on his face.

Then he said goodbye and left the palace.

When the plane soared into the sky, Gao Xian looked at Tehran below and couldn't help but wonder, "Don't talk about coming to Tehran next time, whether it is necessary to come to Tehran is a matter of choice, or if it does come, it will be a stormy time!"

"
