Chapter 353: Aircraft carrier is the best salesman in Hollywood
It turns out that war has started again in the Middle East. Iraq suddenly invaded neighboring Kuwait. According to news reports, it was said that Iraq accused Kuwait of using "advanced technology" in the border area to secretly exploit oil on the border between the two countries. Because oil is liquid, Kuwait's
As soon as the advanced oil wells produced oil, the oil that originally belonged to Iraq flowed to Kuwait.
As for the real reason, the TV station just hinted that because of the protracted Iran-Iraq war, Iraq owed Kuwait a huge foreign debt...
"It is reported that Iraq's elite paratroopers parachuted into the Dasman Palace. The King, Emir Al-Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, has safely traveled to neighboring Saudi Arabia.
The Kuwaiti Emir Guard, led by the King's youngest brother, Prince Fahd Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and supported by local police and Chieftain tanks, successfully repelled an airborne assault by Iraqi special forces. However,
After the landing of Iraqi marines (Dasman Palace is located on the coast), the palace was captured and Prince Fahd's whereabouts are unknown."
Ronald thought of the Saudi ambassador Prince Bandar whom he had just met, and quickly called him to ask about the situation. If there was a war in the Middle East, would the rich be afraid? Will they continue to invest in America? Can Palm Tree Cinemas continue to invest in America?
Accelerate expansion?
"Sorry, Prince Bandar is currently in a meeting at the United Nations. I will tell him that you called, Mr. Li."
The call was answered by Bandar's assistant, and the United Nations was currently meeting to discuss this emergency. Ronald felt that he was a little too hasty, so he smiled and said, "Oh, that's good, Prince Bandar is safe.
"
"Hello, Ronald?"
After a while, Ronald's home phone rang. He was not the most anxious, but someone was more anxious than him.
"Hey, Little George, why are you calling me?" Ronald recognized that the voice belonged to Little George, the commander-in-chief's son.
"Hey, didn't you call Prince Bandar? Now the emir of Kuwait has fled to Saudi Arabia. There is so much chaos there now, we can let them come to America..."
George Jr. and Ronald thought of going together. He had heard more reliable news from the inner circle in Washington, D.C. Kuwait was a small country, and although the Emir Guards very heroically defeated the Iraqi airborne troops, it was not until the Navy and Army
As soon as the team landed, the royal palace in Kuwait City was still lost.
During this period of desperate resistance by the guards, the emir and many of the royal relatives escaped from the palace. The emir flew directly to Saudi Arabia for refuge, but it was not very safe. Who knows what the madman would do? Except for the emir.
Mir had to wait outside Saudi Arabia for the sake of the country. The other princes were trembling with fear and jumped on other planes to fly to America.
"Okay, I think so too. This time we can make them feel the kindness of the American people and understand that this is the safest place in the world."
…
By the next day, little George had flown to Los Angeles, waiting for the princes who had transferred from the Japanese air force base. Ali Al-Salem Air Force Base in Kuwait was the only territory that had not been captured by Iraq today.
As soon as the plane arrived, a group of princes with black headbands and white turbans filed off. Little George went up to say hello to them, and the translator next to him was Prince Bandar's assistant.
"This is the eldest prince of America, His Highness Little George." The assistant's Arabic was simple and clear, and all the princes suddenly understood and stepped forward to salute Little George. Those in trouble in Kuwait need justice from the great emir of America.
Everyone came to Ronald's manor, had some fine wine and food, and immediately returned to their dandy nature, and began to ask Ronald about Hollywood gossip.
Ronald was of course very happy and introduced them to one of the most reliable investment projects in America, the construction of a new multiplex cinema. Director Michelle Cannold, who was daydreaming, also used two large display boards.
He introduced to them the analysis of the business models of new multiplex theaters and traditional single-room theaters, which made these princes very satisfied.
However, among these people, only one prince seemed depressed. Compared with his cousins, he had no joy at escaping danger and no yearning for a happy life in America. There was only a desire for revenge in his eyes.
"Prince Ahmed", Ronald came up to chat with him. This prince is the most unfortunate among the royal relatives. He is the nephew of the emir, and his father is the emir's half-brother, named
Fahd Ahmed Jaber Al Sabah.
Prince Fahd is not an ordinary person. When he was young, he followed Arafat and served as the commander of the Kuwaiti battalion during the Six-Day War. He now serves as the chairman of the Olympic Council of Asia and was supposed to attend the New Year's Eve event next month.
of the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.
After learning of the invasion of Kuwait, Prince Fahd personally led the Emir Guards to fight against the Iraqi airborne troops, buying time for the Emir and many members of the royal family to escape. It has now been confirmed that when the Iraqi Marines landed and attacked the palace,
He was outnumbered and died heroically in the palace battle.
"Mr. Li, I am not unsociable, but my father died for our country. In my heart, I only have the pain of losing my father and the determination to seek revenge." Prince Ahmed and Ronald are similar in age, and they have a natural
The sense of intimacy made him confide his pain to Ronald.
"I wish I didn't get on the plane, but kept fighting with my friends in Kuwait..." Prince Ahmed, like his father, was an officer of the Kuwait Defense Force at a young age.
"Actually, it's the same no matter where you fight. Kuwait's territory has no depth, and it is being fought undeclared and unethically by madmen. Temporary setbacks are normal. You have to take a longer-term view. Retreating now is also for advancing in the future.
...At this moment, the most important thing is to win support internationally, and you can make important contributions on other fronts as well."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ronald does not understand war at all, but since Prince Ahmed fled to America, it shows that his courage is not as courageous as he said.
.So I advised him to seek support from the international community instead of going back to fight.
Besides, it is estimated that the last territory and the air force base will be occupied by Iraq tomorrow. Going back will be...
"Yes, yes, your wisdom has made me think about many things. You are the first friend in the past two days who can help me get rid of the grief of my father's tragic death. You are right, I need to inherit
My father’s legacy is to continue fighting for the people of Kuwait.”
Most of the princes, after a day's pause in Los Angeles, continue on to New York and Washington, D.C., where they will examine more investments and see what can be done for their country.
Only Ahmed was inspired by Ronald and prepared to stay and wait for the commercial flight to Saudi Arabia to join his uncle and take on greater responsibilities.
At the same time, George Jr. called. He had just gotten off the plane and already knew the latest news. After overnight discussions, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 660, condemning Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.
When Prince Ahmed heard the news, he immediately expressed his strong intention to go back to fight, and then talked in front of Ronald about how brave his father was and what kind of military training he had received.
If you are solid, now is the time to serve the country.
Ronald saw that what he said was very excited and his body language was very expressive. However, he did not instruct the servants to prepare for the flight. He understood that Prince Ahmed was actually a strong-willed guy who could not compare with his father's courage.
.
However, he is much better than his cousins. At least he still has the thoughts of caring about the country and the people and avenging his father.
"There are many ways to inherit my father's legacy... I regret to tell you, Prince, that Kuwait's 35th Brigade, which last resisted, defeated the Iraqi Republican Guard on two bridges on Highway 70.
The two armored divisions of Hammurabi and Medina have successfully withdrawn to Saudi Arabia."
Ronald relayed the latest news from Little George to appease Prince Ahmed. When he heard that Prince Fahd was very low as the chairman of the Olympic Council of Asia, he contacted the Chinese actor Chaoli in Hollywood.
Today the court heard back from him that the diplomatic department there is very willing to invite Prince Fahd's son to attend the opening ceremony of the Asian Games as a representative of the Olympic Council of Asia.
"This is really a very touching arrangement for me. I will go to the opening ceremony of the Asian Games. The venue for this Asian Games is exactly what my father tried his best to facilitate. I will let all my friends in the international world see that Kuwaitis are
I won’t give in…”
"Prince Ahmed really has the inheritance of your father's courage. I am proud of you."
The next steps were all handled by the court, and Ronald received the friendship of a prince and the investment commitments of many Gulf tycoons.
The Iraqi madmen really shocked the wealthy people in the Gulf. No matter how much your bloodline and wealth are, they are worthless under the crushing force of T-72 tanks. The Emir of Kuwait, who has just established a government-in-exile in Riyadh,
Like a frightened bird, I still want to keep running.
Seeing how quickly the situation developed, the General Commander's team, after mediating with the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, Western European countries, Japan and West Germany, and several other economically sound economies, issued a televised speech on the third day of the invasion, stating
Our aircraft carrier fleet has arrived in the Persian Gulf.
"Oh oh oh oh!" Ordinary people in America, when there is a crisis in the world, their first reaction must be, "Where is our aircraft carrier?"
There are many American engineers working in the oil fields in the Middle East. Their relatives and colleagues are the happiest. This statement means that their personal safety will be guaranteed.
On the fourth day of the invasion, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 661, imposing international sanctions on Iraq. On the same day, US Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney met with Saudi King Fahd in Riyadh to discuss what to do in the event of an invasion of Iraq.
Sending U.S. armed forces to defend Saudi Arabia.
Fifteen thousand American troops, 32 destroyers, and fighter jets have arrived in Saudi Arabia. Operation "Desert Shield" has been officially launched. America will provide Saudi Arabia with security guarantees to resist a potential Iraqi invasion.
The princes of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia moved quickly and transferred a lot of wealth to America through international banks. The first two investment funds they established were to purchase port terminal facilities and build more shopping malls with multiplex cinemas.
.
America's economy is strong. As an outsider, the safest investment is the construction of this kind of infrastructure.
Another smaller fund, also designated by Prince Ahmed, raised a lot of his cousin's private money and invited George Jr., who has rich Hollywood investment experience, to serve as a director and consultant to invest in Hollywood movies. Of course, George Jr.
Director seats and powers are exercised through an anonymous Delaware limited liability company.
The first project of this fund is to make additional investment in the new film "Firebird" invested by Ronald Daydream. This time, America's Apache helicopter gunship shocked these Middle Eastern princes.
As soon as one hundred helicopters arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, many princes stopped fleeing and stayed firmly in Saudi Arabia, helping America renovate its military base and stockpile logistics supplies. Once America's friends arrived, the Iraqi madmen did not dare to attack Saudi Arabia.
.
Soon, the United Nations Security Council coordinated internally and passed Resolution 662, condemning Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Then the Arab League also held a meeting and passed a similar condemnation agreement. Only Libya and the PLO supported the Iraqi invasion...
“I didn’t expect America’s international prestige to be so high?” The weekend came again, and Ronald, Daydream, and Paramount’s distribution department began another meeting to discuss.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The box office performance of "The Love Between Ghosts and Ghosts" was as expected, returning to the top of the rankings again, with more than 11 million in box office receipts over the weekend, and the total box office
In just four weeks, it exceeded 70 million.
Moreover, copies in overseas markets also experienced a climax of additional orders and new contracts this week. Many countries in Eastern Europe and South Asia, which originally had small order volumes, have also begun to order excessive copies.
The reason given by Paramount is that in addition to the exaggerated box office performance of "The Last Days" which has been near a horizontal line for four consecutive weeks, the American cabinet under the leadership of the General has made a quick and surprising response to the crisis in Kuwait.
The effect of reassuring actions.
Many other countries, such as Britain, India, and European countries, also have a large number of engineers and service industry employees in Kuwait. They all became refugees this time, or were kidnapped and used as hostages by the Iraqi army.
In contrast, as soon as American troops were stationed in Saudi Arabia, the safety of American citizens was guaranteed.
In addition to director Ronald's "Uncensored", "Pretty Woman", and "Die Hard 2" are particularly popular. Audiences in the international market are more interested in America, so it is understandable that they want to watch Hollywood movies.
The two romantic films, which have the lowest language barrier, were the most popular in this buying boom. There is also "Die Hard 2", which did not have a box office in the domestic market, because it has a plot where a lone hero single-handedly kills terrorists.
, and was also welcomed by film producers.
"Call Emil Adolino. This time I will give him an increase in the budget. He can shoot as many helicopter air combat scenes as he wants."
Ronald saw a business opportunity. Now that the "Top Gun" video tape has begun to rise on the rental list, this helicopter version of "Top Gun" and "Firebird" will also be released to take advantage of the popularity.
Anyway, Prince Ahmed has a blood feud with Iraq, and he will definitely not give up and reconcile with Iraq. Little George said that this war is expected to be a big one, and now is the time to increase investment.
Even the madmen in Iraq cooperated with Ronald's idea and officially announced the annexation of Kuwait and made it a province of Iraq.
Now the war is really coming.
As long as America's aircraft carriers appear in conflict areas, Hollywood movies can be sold overseas...
