America's Big Hero

Without the order from Iraq, Sean would not be willing to equip this thing for a while.

Damn, missiles are expensive, launch systems are even more expensive.

The launch system is not just launch equipment, but also includes a complete set of radar and fire control systems.

The radar must also be combined and deployed with the radar on the original ship to form a radar array to achieve better results.

This thing, without technology, even if I give you something, you can't install it.

Therefore, the assembly cost is also very expensive...

Back and forth, Sean was asked for another 1200 million, and the money he just saved was thrown into it again.

……

Sean rushed to Washington two days ahead of the appointment time with the capital media.

Capital Media was first established in Texas, and later gradually merged some cable TV stations in other states, and finally formed.

So, its shareholders are everywhere.

Pete Chernin has learned part of the news, and the shareholders of Capital Media want to sell.

"Mr. George, hello."

"Mr. Sean, hello."

After meeting, shaking hands, and exchanging greetings, George looked at Sean. He was a little confused about the reason why this guy suddenly came to visit him.

It's not like they really want to buy Capital Media.

"I just said straight to the point, I want to buy the shares of Capital Media in your hand." Sean looked into George's eyes, "You make an offer."

"You really want to buy Capital Media?" George looked at Sean in astonishment.

"Of course." Sean said with a smile.

George was caught off guard by Sean. He wanted to sell 5% of Capital Media's shares, and he had talked with Murdoch a few times, but they didn't reach an agreement on the price.

George asked for 8500 million, but Murdoch was not prepared to pay such a premium, and Murdoch was only prepared to pay 7000 million.

This is a bit far from George's psychological price of 8000 million.

The two sides are still grinding slowly.

If he is allowed to get more than 50% of the shares, he will lower the price even more later.

"Price." Sean raised his hand.

"8500 million!" George directly asked the price, and it was not who he sold it to.

"I've always been straightforward in doing business, with a one-off price of 8000 million. If you agree, we can sign the contract at any time!" Sean was even more straightforward, and directly returned a price.

George took a deep breath and looked at Sean in horror.

Are today's young people so courageous?

8000 million, just open your mouth!

Old man George squinted his eyes, and he suddenly felt that his asking price was a bit low.

"It's almost there, there's no need to worry about that little bit." Sean leaned on the sofa and said with a smile, "I was the first to find you, Mr. George. I hope this is the beginning of our cooperation. What do you think?"

"Okay." George smiled and spread his hands, 8000 million business, this is the first time in his life that the old man talked about business so quickly.

It was really unacceptable for a while.

"I'm glad we can reach an agreement." Sean stood up, laughed and shook George's hand.

Although it is a verbal agreement, the two will not violate it.

How much is the minimum amount of credit, it all depends on the net worth of different people.

A person with only a few hundred dollars in his pocket may be able to buy his credit for 10 dollars.

Of course, you may not be able to buy it with any amount of money.

For a person with billions in his pocket, his reputation is worth at least tens of millions or more.

Of course, if you can be invisible, you can also be worthless.

A large part of the reason why it is said that "poor lives with treachery, and rich with conscience" is here.

It doesn't mean that if you have money, you will become kind. A good person is a good person, no matter whether he is poor or rich, and a bad person is a bad person, no matter whether he is poor or rich.

Wealth cannot change the essence of a person, wealth is just an amplifier of ability.

The rich have a conscience because, if you are rich, the value of your reputation will be higher, and you won't do anything for a little profit.

Likewise, but when the 'name' is worth 1000 million, they don't mind buying it for 100 million to bring the reputation back.

When they first made a fortune, capitalists could do whatever they could, but when they got rich, they were willing to do charity to gain fame.

Of course, fame can also make them more money.

After the verbal agreement is reached, the next thing is to sign the contract. There is no rush. Xiao En means to sign a regular purchase agreement first.

Metropolis Media Company is a listed company, and the shareholding change of more than 5% must be announced.

"I will pay a deposit of 1000 million yuan first, and then change the shares at the right time." Sean said, of course, more because he can't afford 8000 million yuan now.

1000 million will be thrown around for a while...

"OK, no problem." George still believed in Sean, and he was more willing to believe in Rockefeller.

"By the way, I know that Mr. George is engaged in oil smelting, so it's okay for me to pay the rest with oil." Sean said with a smile.

"Ah?" George was taken aback, oil for cash?

"That's not good." George shook his head. The international oil price fluctuates, and it is difficult to control the price. They sign supply contracts in advance for oil smelting.

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with that, just sign a suitable price, and I can lower it a little bit than your original purchase price." Sean blinked, "Even 1% lower is good, isn't it?"

The idea was Xiao En's impromptu idea. After the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War, due to Iran's blockade and control of the Persian Gulf, it was very difficult to sell oil in Laos, and it was difficult for tankers to enter and exit.

Capitalists, at this time, the price must be lowered.

Therefore, it is actually very difficult for Lao Sa to pay 5000 million yuan, but if Lao Sa uses oil to pay US dollars...

Sean reckons that according to the international oil price, he can lower the price by at least one-third, and even better, he can lower the price by half!

That's $[-] million worth of oil!

George narrowed his eyes and looked at Sean for a long time. He couldn't figure out where Sean's oil came from, and it couldn't be from Rockefeller.

Is it possible that this guy robbed Colombia's oil fields?

However, as a capitalist, he is not in the mood to worry about others, if it is cheap, why not.

After discussing for a long time, and referring to the current oil price, it was finally agreed that it was 3% lower than the market price.

Sean was very happy to negotiate two deals at once. He invited old George to his Peace Hotel, and old George readily agreed.

Coming out of Old George's house, Sean couldn't help but wonder, if Old George became popular immediately after signing the contract, wouldn't it be...

Suppress this bold thought.

Sean told Torrey to drive towards the old cloth's house.

When you come to Washington, of course you have to visit the old cloth head.

For Lao Sa's order, just to be on the safe side, I'd better consult Lao Bu, in case there are any unexpected loopholes in him and people will catch him.

I had already made an appointment before coming here, and Xiao Bu greeted me at the door. At this time, Lao Bu was still off work.

Sean took out the dates packaged in a gold-encrusted box again. When he was walking by Lao Sa's side, Sean deliberately asked for a lot.

Hearing that Xiao En was going to take the battleship to Yilang, Xiao Bu was shocked.

This military outsourcing thing really made you do it!

When Lao Bu came back, it was not the first time that Sean came to the door. He was not polite, and he and Lao Bu went into the study after dinner.

Hearing the cooperation between Xiao En and Iraq, Lao Bu frowned and pondered for a long time, "There is no problem, but there can be no conflict with Yilang."

"Remember, this is a must, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

"Of course, but, I don't understand why?" Sean asked.

"Ilang is holding hostages from our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The mid-term election is approaching. At this time, there is a real conflict, which is very, very troublesome." Old Bu said solemnly.

"Okay, I see." Sean nodded.

Xiao En nodded, and Lao Bu suddenly showed a smiling face, "If you really do well this time, maybe, you will have a good chance."

"Ah, what a chance!" Sean asked in confusion.

Old Bu smiled and shook his head, "We'll have to talk about it at a later time. I can't tell right now. If you really need it, it's a very, very good opportunity for your career."

Sean nodded knowingly, but kept slandering in his heart, damn it, I hate these old riddlers the most.

Those who engage in politics are so talkative.

Chapter 226: Surprise Negotiation

I don't know what is the good thing behind what Lao Bu said, but the current problem needs to be solved.

There must be no conflict with Yilang.

What is the reason for this, Sean still needs to ask Leighton Stevens for advice.

At this time, the importance of a former high-level US military officer is reflected. There are many details and secrets that people know.

"I understand what the problem is." Leighton Stevens knew what was going on as soon as he heard what Sean said, and began to explain the problem to Sean, "This matter has a lot to do with your family."

Sean:? ? ?

"God has something to do with our family, you're talking too far!"

"Listen to me!" Leighton Stevens said with a smile: "You were still young at that time, so it's normal not to know these secrets."

In early 79, after the Pahlavi Dynasty supported by the United States was overthrown by the Green Revolution, the clergy represented by Khomeini took power in the 'Green Republic'.

The policy of the new regime is theocracy, balancing the rich and the poor, supporting the disadvantaged, prohibiting Western culture, and strictly following the fundamental principles of social greening. The United States and Israel are listed as the number one enemies of Ilang, and a large number of former military and government officials have been liquidated , The royal property was confiscated, the rich fled in large numbers, and all Westernized things were swept away.

Pahlavi, who fled to Egypt, has always hoped that the United States will support him in regaining power, and at this time he is also sick, lymphoma, and he wants to go to the United States for treatment.

But as a king in exile, once he enters the United States, he will support Pahlavi on behalf of the United States. After all, who will believe in medical treatment?

God's spokesman 'Khomeini' is firmly opposed, but at this time, the Rockefeller family stood up.

In April, the Rockefeller family, Nelson Rockefeller and the Rockefeller family on behalf of Kissinger strongly demanded that Carter allow Pahlavi to enter the country, constantly exerting pressure on Carter, accusing President Carter of losing control of Iran.

"Ah, our family forced President Carter to approve Pahlavi's entry?" Sean opened his mouth wide with disbelief on his face.

For Sean, it is good. When he is in the limelight, 'Rockefeller' is 'our family'. When it is not good, I am Sean.

"Yes, it's your family. The reason is the petrodollar system. You should understand this." Leighton Steven said with a smile.

"I understand, you continue." Sean nodded reservedly.

(The U.S. dollar was decoupled from gold, and after the collapse of the gold standard system, the United States used means to force OPEC members to use U.S. dollars to settle oil, mainly in the Middle East, and the other is Venezuela. This forces all oil-importing countries in the world to reserve a large amount of U.S. dollars for oil purchases. Thus establishing the unshakable position of the US dollar in the international financial and monetary system. This is the petrodollar system. Therefore, the United States must ensure that the Middle East is under its own control, and the oil traded must be settled in US dollars. Anyone who tries to challenge it will do so at all costs. wipe out!)

"Carter is a member of the donkey party, advocating democracy and freedom. When Khomeini was making a fuss, he demanded that the Pahlavi Dynasty not use military suppression, but democracy. As a result, Pahlavi was overthrown, and Khomeini naively wanted to follow the Khomeini built a good relationship and continued to control Ilang, but that idiot Carter doesn't understand the thoughts of religious fanatics at all, if you support him, he will definitely support you?"

"They don't understand that only strong military strength is the only reason to ensure the obedience of the Middle East, which eventually led to a series of subsequent incidents." Leighton Stevens had a cold face. He is a firm supporter of the Elephant Party By.

Of course, it is the whole, not the individual, that is supported.

Several major consortiums, such as Rockefeller, have no clear political orientation.

"After 'Khomeini' came to power, the influence of the United States was completely eliminated, and Ilan was out of control. Afterwards, sanctions were imposed on Ilan to prevent Ilan from exporting oil. The 'Second Oil Crisis' broke out, and the price of oil soared. The petrochemical capital led by the Rockefeller family, including upstream and downstream enterprises, suffered huge losses, and eventually the entire industrial system fell into crisis."

"That idiot Carter has persisted until October, and is about to face the mid-term elections. Well, the situation is similar to the current situation. This year will also enter the mid-term elections, hehe."

"Because of the Carter administration's operational errors, the crisis broke out. The mid-term elections were approaching. Carter couldn't bear the pressure and had to compromise with the forces represented by the Rockefeller family. At that time, many members of the Donkey Party did not support that idiot Carter. On the 22nd, Carter Announce the approval of Pahlavi's entry."

Sean nodded, Rockefeller was mighty, and he also understood why everyone wanted Pahlavi to enter.

That's the reason why King Yilang can live with rare goods. As long as he holds it in his hands, he has a reason to launch a military attack on Yilang at any time.

It was King Yilang who borrowed troops!

"Here, as soon as Pahlavi entered the country, there was a commotion in Ilan. At that time, Ilan's interim president, Bazargan, who was inclined to establish a democratic country, wanted to send a group of Ilang doctors to the United States for joint consultations, proving that Pakistan Levi was indeed ill, but at this time, that idiot Carter suddenly became tough under Brzezinski's persuasion, and as a result..." As he spoke, Leighton Stevens sneered, and cursed an idiot again.

"Radical students gathered more than 4000 people to attack the American embassy, ​​pushed the statue, burned the national flag, and detained 52 American diplomats. The hostage crisis broke out. Bazargan resigned. Khomeini made a speech expressing his gratitude to the students Strongly support the abolition of the US-Iran Security Treaty."
