Chapter 1501 War Situation (Part 2)
In Guo Tailai's future dream, the British and American coalition forces began to attack Iraq in March, and captured the entire territory in April. It took a total of less than a month, and the efficiency was so high that it was simply ruined. According to official U.S. announcements, the number of U.S. troops killed in the Iraq War was 262, of which 139 were killed in action and 123 were killed in accidents. 33 British soldiers died.
But in reality, this war has lasted from April to the present, for more than two months. The number of US troops killed in the attack on the naval base alone exceeded a thousand. There was no way, the ammunition exploded, and there happened to be army transportation at the time, and the scene was horrible. As for the number of people killed in the later wars, there were more than six or seven hundred people, and the total number may exceed two thousand. There were also a lot more bombed supplies and downed planes, and the losses far exceeded the future dreams.
Of course, the "official" number is very small, only a little over a thousand, but Guo Tailai can roughly know the real number from Finn.
Moreover, what Guo Tailai knew more was that Saddam was once again found by the insiders of the U.S. Army. This time, the father and son were separated. Dam and a few bodyguards, but still can't be sure whether it is the double or the real person, so I can only grit my teeth and keep it secret until it is finally settled.
Therefore, the current situation is that although the military has "controlled" the entire territory of Iraq, the biggest result of the battle is to confirm the "killing" of Saddam's eldest son Uday, Saddam himself, his second son Qusay and The bodyguards around him are still hiding in Iraq and have not been found yet.
The U.S. military has issued a high reward to find the whereabouts of Saddam and his son, but so far, there has been no further progress. We can only sieve each area slowly in the next stage of mopping up, and one day they will catch or kill their father and son.
Obviously, Saddam and his son may have made up their minds to fight the Americans. Just the second day after the U.S. officially announced control of the entire territory of Iraq, there were a bunch of attacks, many of which were suicide attacks. The attackers were either driving trucks or individuals. It is also battered and exhausted. You can't indiscriminately kill people when you see them in front of the cameras of the swarming reporters, right?
Then, as expected, Saddam's voice sounded again on the radio, continuing to call on the Iraqi people to defend their country to the death and resist the aggressors.
Of course, in the financial market, the members of the Treasure Ship Club, who had already prepared themselves, tacitly made a short position, making a small profit and quickly withdrawing. No one dares to be greedy, because the U.S. military will definitely get serious next.
When Lin Jiayi was reporting, Guo Tailai didn't think much about it, and asked casually how much he had earned. This time, Lin Jiayi may feel that the quantity is small, and she is not ashamed to answer the exact number: "Probably the wine cellar downstairs can be filled with good wine from the past few years."
Well, it should not be much, it looks like tens of millions to one hundred million, just make a small profit without losing money, how much is too much! What kind of bicycle do you need?
However, the wine cellar was already full, and Mr. Gu Lian had selected quite a few high-end wines. As for the baijiu, it was selected by Guo Jianjun, a retired master craftsman from Fenjiu Factory, and a sommelier from Wuliangye. The others were given by the old Karp the Great and they deposited them directly, which should be pretty good after all.
Making money is a small thing! no big deal!
Guo Tailai didn't pay much attention to these things. The first thing he did when he returned to Gusu was to introduce Chu Xiong, who came to Gusu, to other club members, so that he could also catch up with the war fortune and make a small fortune. .
As for Guo Tailai himself, he went straight to the studio to test the ballistic performance of the two armor materials combined with Jinling Military Region and FAW Mr. Zhang, while waiting for Colonel Liu's selection of models. Obviously, bulletproof performance is not a problem at all. If the two materials are superimposed and the thickness is increased, the bulletproof performance will only be enhanced, and will never be weakened.
Ferrari's first ceramic engines have already been shipped, and everything else is well underway.
The time has steadily entered July, the students are on vacation, football managers and head coaches are looking for suitable players all over the world, and advertisements for Terminator 3 are also spreading on the Internet. At about this time, Liu Yang finally finished his vacation and came to Gusu with the formalities of job transfer.
Guo Tailai accompanied him to find Brother Lu directly, and before Brother Lu left the park, he first arranged Liu Yang in the management committee to be in charge of connecting with the enterprise. This job is also the most suitable for Liu Yang. Others come, without the close relationship between Liu Yang and Guo Tailai, I am afraid that it may not be able to complete the enterprise's landing work efficiently.
Guo Tailai rented the house directly to Liu Yang at a low price, and then took him around the park, especially to the Treasure Boat Hotel, and specially let him see the huge wine cellar under the hotel, so that Liu Yang was frightened for a while.
The wine cellar was fine, after all, Guo Tailai had said it before in the capital, and seeing such a big wine cellar now, he was shocked, but he was mentally prepared, and Liu Yang was more shocked. But the Treasure Boat Hotel really scared Liu Yang.
One hundred thousand dollars a day for accommodation, what kind of black shop is this? Although any suite is decorated with various features and the service seems to be very thoughtful, but the price is too dark, right? Can someone live here?
Just after saying a few words of questioning, I saw Anderson and Little Finn coming to Guo Tailai happily.
When Guo Tailai received little Finn, Liu Yang asked the waiter for a while, and then he found out that the hotel not only has people who are retailing for single occupancy, but also people who are wholesalers for yearly subscriptions. Moreover, among those who have signed a contract for a year, there are many big figures like Bill Paul Rockefeller.
"G, that room is very nice, I'll book it! Let's book it for a year first!" Little Finn wanted to book it for a year as soon as he opened his mouth.
Guo Tailai was not surprised by this. If the old Mr. Finn didn't even know the recent movements of the Treasure Ship Club, how could he become a big shot in the United States? Mr. Anderson was almost there, at least he didn't mean to sign up for a year. Of course, it may also be related to the scale of funds. Compared with those giants, he is just a small broker.
Liu Yang next to him is a graduate of Shuimu University at least, and he can understand sporadically. When he asked the waiter next to him, he was stunned for a while. An annual subscription room of 30 million dollars a year, settled without blinking an eye? More than 200 million RMB! play? Are you building a hotel yourself?
"Don't be dazed!" After dealing with Finn's annual subscription, Guo Tailai patted Liu Yang's shoulder directly: "Let's go, this little Finn has no business today, and other people will come another day. I will introduce you one by one. Investment The things that landed are all their business, you just need to connect directly with their boss!"
