Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

v1 Chapter 737: gamble

Washington, White House, Office of the President.

Seeing Bush Sr. again after more than a year, Xu Cun immediately had an illusion—Bush Sr. seemed to have made up his mind to start a war!

Shaking hands with Xu Cun, the two sides sat down, and Bush Sr. directly said calmly: "Your DreamWorks TV network is really powerful, and it can report this event to audiences in more than 150 countries and regions around the world. Let the people of the world be witnesses to this event.”

Xu Cun smiled and said: "This is all done by Barry and his subordinates. I don't care about these things. You know, I'm just a businessman, um... If you have any instructions, I can communicate with Barry and the others. a bit."

Even if there is no intelligence report, just based on Xu Cun's remarks, Bush Sr. is enough to believe that DreamWorks TV's report on the Gulf incident is not Xu Cun's handwriting - DreamWorks TV's report on the Gulf incident is absolutely objective and fair. Xu Cun is ready to affect the objective and fairness of the Gulf incident with such a mouth.

actually--

Xu Cun's statement is just an attitude. He knows that the three major US TV networks are reporting the Gulf incident objectively and impartially, and it is impossible for Bush Sr to restrict only his own DreamWorks TV network.

Of course, Bush Sr.'s judgment on Xu Cun is also correct. Xu Cun does not have the style that a media person should have. As long as the interests are sufficient, Xu Cun will never mind distorting the facts!

Bush changed the subject noncommittally: "What do you think of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and confrontation with Arab countries?"

The foresighted Xu Cun knew what Bush Sr. wanted to hear. Therefore, Xu Cun said with a clear attitude: "I believe that if Iraq does not withdraw from Kuwait to stop this aggressive behavior, it must be given a military strike."

Hearing Xu Cun's unequivocal support for himself, Bush Sr. immediately laughed: "Oh? Besides me, you would hope that Iraq would occupy Kuwait. After all, as long as Iraq occupies Kuwait, the oil price will rise and you will make more money."— - The Gulf region is rich in oil and natural gas resources. As of January 1990, the proven oil reserves in the Gulf region were approximately 651.7 billion barrels, accounting for 6% of the world's proven oil reserves (approximately 10.5 billion barrels). Fifteen, about 24 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, accounting for 13.7 percent of the world's total natural gas resources. The daily oil output is about 14.5 million barrels, accounting for about 23% of the world's daily oil production (63.6 million barrels); the daily oil export is about 12 million barrels, accounting for about 23% of the world's daily oil production (63.6 million barrels). 43 percent of daily oil exports (28 million barrels). A considerable part of the oil imported by the United States, Western Europe, Japan and other countries comes from the Gulf region. Once Iraq successfully occupied Kuwait, Saddam, who holds one-fifth of the world's oil resources and has a heavy army, may become the person in charge of oil production in the Gulf region. At that time, as long as Saddam issues an order to control oil production, oil The price is bound to go up.

Xu Cun smiled and said: "I'm not Saddam who needs money to stabilize the situation. Making more money and less money in oil and gas has little impact on me." - Although oil and gas has become Xu Cun's main business One of them, but as Xu Cun said, in the current stage of ultra-low oil prices, the little profit made by oil and gas is really not in the eyes of Xu Cun, who has a big business.

Bush, who had already investigated Xu Cun, naturally knew that Xu Cun was not arrogant, otherwise he and Xu Cun would not have met this time.

Bush Sr. looked straight and said, "I have submitted a proposal to Congress to issue war bonds. If the proposal passes, can you support it?"

Before coming to the White House, Xu Cun had already inquired with Bush Jr. that Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries bought US$50 billion in US treasuries, and Japan and Germany each bought US$10 billion in US Treasuries (this is not a war expense). ).

Xu Cun tapped the table in front of him lightly with his fingers for a while before saying, "I'll buy 10 billion US dollars of U.S. Treasury bonds first."

As soon as Xu Cun said this, a smile appeared on Bush's old face. Bush served as a torpedo bomber pilot in the Pacific Fleet during World War II and was awarded the Flying Cross. Therefore, as a soldier, he knows very well that if a war really starts, it will be difficult to estimate how long it will last and how much it will cost. Therefore, Xu Cun gave 10 billion US dollars to support him in launching the war, and also left a living mouth to continue to support him, which is enough to show Xu Cun's attitude of strongly supporting him.

Such strong support was immediately rewarded by Bush Sr.!

Bush said solemnly: "A lot of countries think that the United States is just a paper tiger-like country~lightnovelpub.net~ We are still plagued by the Vietnam War Syndrome, and since the Vietnam War, most US presidents are reluctant to use force to solve the world's problems. I'm guessing that Saddam didn't think the US would use force to help a small country like Kuwait... I've tried to warn Saddam that I'm not bluffing, but sadly... Saddam doesn't seem to hear me A warning to him."

Based on Xu Cun's experience, how could he not hear that Bush Sr was telling himself: "If Iraq does not withdraw its troops from Kuwait, then I, George Herbert Walker Bush, will start this war against Iraq!"

Is this news useful?

If Xu Cun was not a prophet, this news would be useful, useful, and very useful—as one of the princes of the global oil market, Xu Cun is completely qualified to bet on oil futures, and the news that Bush gave to Xu Cun is actually to give Xu Cun sat in the direction of the village. Of course, such a big war can never be a foregone conclusion just because of one person's will, even if this person is the current president of the United States, because this is a world-class game where countless parties compete. But then again, even if the gamers say it again, the one who plays the leading role is also the current president of the United States, Bush Sr., so the news of Bush Sr. is enough for those daring people to gamble.

but--

For Xu Cun, a foresighted person, the news of Bush Sr. has become dispensable, because even without the news of Bush Sr., Xu Cun would still be sitting in this house.

actually--

Xu Cun has already sat in this village, and bet tens of billions of dollars that the Gulf War will break out and oil prices will skyrocket.

If not, how could Xu Cun unanimously buy tens of billions of US dollars in US treasury bonds to support Bush Sr. in fighting this war?
