Chapter 230 Men become bad when they have money
The "Asia Center" has 58 floors on the ground, four floors underground, and a height of 248 meters, ranking fifth among all buildings in New York. The first four buildings are the Empire State Building built in 1931, the Chrysler Building in 1930, the City Service Building in 1932 (70 Pine Street) and the Trump Building in 1930...≦...≦
The "Asia Center" adopts reinforced concrete structure, full glass curtain wall, underground parking lot, high-speed elevator, central air conditioning system, CCTV monitoring, and a helipad on the roof... It is not the tallest in New York, but it is definitely the most modern skyscraper.
A few years ago, Vietnam Industrial Village Investment and Development Company implemented the "South Development Plan" and vigorously promoted the "Industrial Investment Group" enterprises to realize shareholding reform. Many companies were listed on the Sai Kung Stock Exchange, and many people became rich overnight. In particular, the major shareholders recovered a large amount of funds through the company's listing.
If you suddenly have so much idle funds, of course you need to find an investment channel.
Industrial Investment Company set up the "Overseas Investment Committee" in a timely manner, and Li Weimin personally served as the chairman of the committee, guiding the boss of the "Industrial Investment Department" who had just gone from the stock market circle to a huge sum of money to go to Hong Kong, Singapore and the United States to grab land and invest in real estate. Some people who dared to take risks guided them to invest in European and American stock markets.
The "Asia-American Center" was jointly invested and built by bosses of all sizes.
The 20th to 48th floors have owners, some use them as homes in the United States, some use them as their company offices in the United States, and some simply entrust building properties to rent them on their behalf.
The building was invested and built by domestic businessmen. It is not far from the United Nations headquarters. The 1st to 18th floors are the "Mekong Hotel". After the hotel opened, various business activities are often held. The mission of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Vietnam to the United Nations simply moved into the building, making the 49th floor a veritable diplomatic institution.
Due to ownership, company access and diplomatic institutions, the "Asia-American Center" is called the "Vietnam Building" by many New York citizens.
The "Mekong Hotel" invested by the Li family and Wu family is very Vietnamese. Whether local or female waiters from Vietnam, they are all wearing white Audai. There are not only shops selling Vietnamese specialties in the lobby. There are posters that welcome American friends to travel to Vietnam, but also provide various Vietnamese fruits transported from air.
"Sister-in-law, let's spend the night together here today and go to your new home in New Jersey tomorrow. In fact, the presidential suite is also good. Since its opening, it has received several politicians."
When his brother and sister-in-law came, Li Weiqing was very excited and chatted with Wu Lijun's arm.
Vietnam was once a French colony, whether Vietnamese or Vietnamese Chinese, more or less affected by some France. In Li Weiqing's view, people with real identities and tastes will not live in noisy cities, but in picturesque suburbs, and it is best to have their own manor.
De Gaulle wanted to be the boss of Europe and wanted the franc to become an international settlement currency like the US dollar. He took advantage of the opportunity of a large outflow of US dollars and an imbalance in the balance of payments, and used US dollar reserves to purchase a large amount of gold from the United States, trying to achieve its goals through the gold standard, which directly triggered the US dollar crisis.
Gold has soared in the past two years.
Li Weimin started making plans a few years ago, so Qingqing naturally would not disappoint her brother. She made a big profit in the US dollar crisis. The money was made, so she simply bought dozens of hectares of land in New Jersey, which not only realized the "manor owner's dream", but also owned her own private airport.
Wu Lijun knew that she was not all for enjoyment. She invested so much in Europe and the United States and often had to travel on business trips. It was really inconvenient to not only use the private jet, but also the senior executives of the US representative office of the Industrial Investment Company, the US branch of the Bank of East Asia, and the senior executives of the companies she controlled could use it.
"Go by helicopter?"
"Yeah. Very convenient."
"I'm a little scared, I've never sat there."
"The pilot is a retired officer of the U.S. Army Air Force. He has been flying for nearly a decade and is safe to fly by him."
Looking at her dancing look, Li Weimin couldn't help but quip: "Qingqing, it's not enough to have planes alone. A successful lady like you should own another luxury yacht."
"Brother, don't say that, I really want to customize one. The company holds partying. It's all on yachts, we can only stay in hotels, and it's really hard to keep up with the times."
She is in charge of six investment funds, three investment companies, and has more than 120 listed European and American companies that hold and hold shares. She deals with business elites almost every day, and things about face are indeed very important.
Li Weimin said for granted: "Then go and customize it, what's there to hesitate about?"
"Aren't you too busy, don't you care?"
Qingqing smiled and walked out of the elevator to take her brother and sister-in-law to the presidential suite with the same Vietnamese characteristics. Vietnam is known as the "Little China". The so-called Vietnamese characteristics are actually Chinese characteristics. Mahogany and red sandalwood furniture, dragon and phoenix carvings everywhere, meticulously decorated porcelain, calligraphy and painting and other handicrafts and artworks, like walking into a teahouse club in later generations.
Li Weimin looked around and then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the scenery outside. He was about to propose a trip to Chinatown in the evening. Sun Ningyu, who had followed Chen Jiahui to the business center to get the telegram, followed him in and whispered to report: "Chairman, Colonel Ruan Gaoqi has been promoted."
Having made such a great contribution, promotion was expected. Li Weimin turned around and asked with a smile: "Air Force Commander?"
"The Deputy Chief of Staff and Commander of the Air Force, the rank of the Joint Staff Department was directly promoted from Air Force Colonel to Major General of the Air Force, and the paratrooper brigade was officially included in the Air Force Command Sequence."
The Marine Corps has always been under the control of the navy, but the Paratrooper Brigade has always been under the command of the General Staff, which is controlled by the Army. After finally getting this opportunity, Ruan Gaoqi naturally had to make the request to return the Paratrooper Brigade to build.
Li Weimin was very happy to be able to influence a combat unit with good combat effectiveness. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Are the special forces withdrawn safely?"
Sun Ningyu smiled and said, "Retrieve, the 19th Air Tactical Support Squadron has been put into battle. Using Xining Forward Airport as a base, the airlifted camp was sent to the theater to participate in the search of Ruan Zhiqing and Ruan Wenling, and attack those Vietnamese troops who took the initiative to emerge and carry us on their return."
"How many camps are needed for the Military Aid Command?"
"General Huggins believes that the enemy in the west is more threatening than the central one. The Joint Operations Command took over the command as soon as it was established. Not only did he urgently mobilize the "Green Berets" and the Non-Mobile Army scattered around the country, but he also mobilized the Marine Division. Now there are at least 17 battalions in the entire theater.
In order to prevent the North Vietnamese People's Army in the area, the South Jie guerrillas and Vietnamese local troops from fleeing to Cambodia or cross the Saigon River to escape to the north, several main divisions in the third and second tactical areas were mobilized. They searched inside, surrounded outside, blocked the border, and the air force units were on standby 24 hours a day. The reconnaissance planes were constantly reconnaissance and three-dimensional encirclement and suppression, and they were very active."
The Military Aid Command is very determined and even the "Green Beret" is shirtless.
Li Weimin asked with interest: "What about the results of the battle? It has been more than 20 hours since they took over, so it is impossible for nothing to be found, right?"
"As of 4 am today, Saigon time, the first batch of paratroopers who were put into the battlefield had defeated two gulfs of Viet G, the numbers were the 90th Company of Agents and the 35th Battalion of the South Jie, killing and wounding more than 600 people. More than 100 prisoners were captured. Yesterday afternoon, the plane landed at the three Hemmon clans's movement camps on the battlefield, and successfully encircled and annihilated a group of guerrillas under the command of the "Green Beret".
The 27th Marine Corps, which was only in the fight at night, had the best luck. Under the leadership of a remorseful prisoner, he destroyed a material transfer site on the Vietnam-Cambodia border, seized more than 2,000 tons of war materials such as guns, ammunition, food, cooking oil and medicine, and killed Pan Wendang, director of the Southern Bureau's Safety Committee, who had just escaped there less than three hours, and injured and captured Gao Dengzhan, deputy director of the Safety Committee."
The Security Committee of the North Vietnamese Bureau is not only responsible for the public security work of its "liberated areas", but also, like the former Ministry of Social Affairs, is responsible for the underground work of the government military-controlled areas. These two people are more valuable to the CIA than the Deputy Minister of the North Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security, Nguyen Van Tsai, who was arrested not long ago.
At least thousands of people "repent" every year, not everyone will never surrender.
The encirclement and suppression continued. Thinking that the enemy was now headless and in chaos, Li Weimin couldn't help but laugh and said, "While doing such a big battle, even if you can't uproot it, it can at least let it calm down for a while."
"General Ren and Chief of Staff Chen believe that the loss of such a serious loss should not be able to recover within a year or two."
“A year or two, it’s too optimistic.”
Li Weimin shook his head and said with a serious expression: "North Vietnam will not watch the fire in the south be extinguished. If nothing unexpected happens, they will organize a larger infiltration and launch a large-scale revenge on the national army. In other words, what we will face in the future is no longer a group of mobs, but a well-trained and determined fighting spirit."
"I will call back to Can Tho and the embankment immediately. Remind General Ren and Mr. Qian."
"No hurry, let's talk about Ruan Gaoqi first."
While greeting him and He Tianming, Li Weimin pondered: "It is said that women will become rich if they become bad, and men will become bad if they have money. In fact, men will become bad if they have power. Ruan Gaoqi was originally unconventional and liked to show off. Now that he is in power, he will definitely become arrogant and domineering."
If you don’t avoid yourself, you mean you can listen and express your opinions.
Wu Lijun, who has never been asking about these things, couldn't help but say: "For the people, Lianfang has called several times and made a special trip to the Special Administrative Region last month to complain to me."
"complain?"
"She said Ruan Gaoqi had a woman outside, and she seemed to be a flight attendant on Vietnam Airlines. She was so old that she actually divorced her because a woman wanted to divorce her. She didn't become bad if she had the right, but she had become bad if she had long ago."
It’s really impossible to say about men and women.
Li Weimin sighed secretly and smiled helplessly, "He is determined to be Chen Shimei. We can't control it and it's hard to control it, but he can't be greedy. Ning Yu, please send him a telegram to tell him that Vietnam needs a hero who is honest and self-disciplined. In addition, prepare another sum of money and give him little money given to others."
"Piaster or US dollars?"
"5 million Piast, $500,000, help him open an account at the Bank of East Asia."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."
As soon as Sun Ningyu walked out of the room, He Tianming said: "Chairman, Ruan Gaoqi served as deputy chief of staff and air force headquarters of the Joint Staff Department, so the Fourth Air Force Division does not have to transfer to the border and base."
