No regrets ninety-two

Chapter 798 That Upstart

After finishing the taste, Giuliani really didn't want to leave.

While drinking, he said to Wu Xiaozheng: "Wu, you will go back to China soon, I will not see you for a long time, I must take this opportunity to have a good chat with you."

Wu Xiaozheng thought to himself, if you become the mayor of New York, can you still be so leisurely?
It's scary that if you want to meet with you at that time, you need to make an appointment in advance!

Just chat.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to cement his relationship with the future mayor of New York.

He took Giuliani straight to his room.

Giuliani first expressed his gratitude to Wu Xiaozheng very solemnly, thanking him for successfully helping him win the support of the Chinese community in New York.

It seems that this is his intention to continue to follow Wu Xiaozheng to the room.

This is a person who knows how to be grateful.

After that, it enters the chat mode.

"Wu, you are not only an excellent businessman, but also very politically minded and good at integrating various resources. Unfortunately, you are in China. If you were in New York, I would definitely hire you as my campaign staff, After the election is successful, I will also hire you as my special adviser."

Wu Xiaozheng: "..."

I'll be your staff and advisor?

I don't have that kind of spare time.

However, he found that American politicians are very popular with staff and private consultants, which is completely different from domestic ones.

He still remembers that after Giuliani left office in 2001, he also announced his participation in the 2008 presidential election, but then suddenly withdrew with a high approval rate, and later, in the 2016 US presidential election, Became a loyal supporter of Donald Trump and was nominated as a cybersecurity consultant.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaozheng suddenly remembered something.

Yeah, isn't Donald Trump a New Yorker?

His relationship with Giuliani has always been good, so how is that guy doing now?

"By the way, Rudolph, do you know Donald Trump?"

"Donald Trump? You mean the divorced upstart?" Giuliani asked.

Divorced upstart?
Wu Xiaozheng couldn't help smiling.

Judging from Giuliani's words, he does know Trump, but the relationship should be mediocre now, and he doesn't even have a good impression of him.

Giuliani added: "If you are referring to the nouveau riche who spent two hundred million dollars to build a 68-story Trump Tower in Manhattan, then I have to regret to tell you that his current situation It's kind of bad."

Call him an upstart?

Wu Xiaozheng was delighted when he heard it.

But think about it. Giuliani has not yet become the mayor of New York. Therefore, in the eyes of an arrogant guy like Trump, he may not be able to talk, or he wants to talk, but he is rejected by Trump. Trump's rude treatment, so it is entirely possible that he has a bad impression of Trump.

This situation may not change until he becomes mayor of New York.

It seems that in the United States, interpersonal relationships are more realistic than in China.

But Wu Xiaozheng was attracted by another matter.

In his previous life in 2016, after Trump was elected President of the United States, he took a little time to study Trump's life, knowing that he did experience a period of low tide in the 90s, but he didn't know enough details.

"What's the matter with him being a little bit bad?"

Wu Xiaozheng asked curiously.

"He was really a rude and vulgar upstart and he is now paying for his rudeness."

Giuliani began to talk about Trump's fortune.

Trump's fortune is actually a legend.

In 1946, Troup was born in New York. After graduating from college, he first worked in the real estate company opened by his father.

In 1974, the "Penn Central Railway Company" in Manhattan, New York City, declared bankruptcy. Troup, who had a unique vision, immediately bought the property and suggested to the government to build a "city conference center" here.

In 1978, the New York City government agreed to his proposal and made him a lot of money.

In 1975, Troup bought a dilapidated hotel near New York's Central Station for US$1 million, and built a new Hyatt Hotel here, which gave Troup a huge and stable source of income.

This can be regarded as an important milestone in Trump's real estate career.

Next, Trump's development was out of control.

Immediately afterwards, he built the "Trump Tower" in the Manhattan business district of New York with US$2 million.

This 68-storey commercial complex provides spacious offices, boutique stores and luxury apartments for high-income people, attracting countless long-term tenants, and Trump has also made a lot of money.

Then, Trump gradually extended the scope of investment to industries other than real estate, opened casinos, operated shipping, presided over professional football teams, sponsored professional boxing matches, and became a well-known rich man in New York.

In 198, when Giuliani participated in the mayoral election for the first time, he had played Trump's idea and wanted to pull him as a funder.

But Trump, who is naturally flamboyant, not only looked down on him, but turned to Ding Qinshi, Giuliani's competitor.

Moreover, Trump rejected Giuliani with his characteristic arrogance and rudeness, which made him very uncomfortable.

As for the reason why Trump's situation suddenly became worse, it has something to do with the general economic environment in the United States.

Since 1990, the U.S. real estate industry has been in a recession.

Under the influence of the general environment, the real estate owned by Trump also depreciated significantly, and his income decreased accordingly.

That year, his personal fortune plummeted from $17 billion to $5 million.

In order to avoid bankruptcy, Trump often has to adjust working capital. For this reason, he began to borrow money everywhere. In the case of high debts, the annual burden of interest alone is as high as more than [-] million US dollars.

House seemingly endless rain.

Just when Trump was in financial difficulties, his extramarital affairs were exposed, and the happy marriage that was originally envied by the American people was instantly shattered.

In 1990, the Trumps divorced, and the news immediately caused a sensation across the United States.

The bank syndicate that had generously lent huge sums of money to Trump realized that Trump was likely to go bankrupt.

Once he goes bankrupt, the bank syndicate will not only lose the interest, but may not even get back the capital.

As a result, the banks allowed him to suspend some of the interest payments on the loan, but on the condition that the bank syndicate supervised the real estate under Trump until he was able to pay off the debt.

Troup is really having a hard time right now.

According to the rules of the US Bankruptcy Commission, his lunch can not exceed 10 dollars now.

Giuliani happily finished talking about Trump's miserable experience, and asked curiously: "Wu, why did you suddenly ask him? Do you know him? Or are you interested in him?"

Wu Xiaozheng: "..."

I do have an interest in him.

However, the reason why I am interested in him is not because I want to help him who is in trouble, but because I want to trick him.

Hehe, this nouveau riche is falling down now, is it possible to step on him and make him never stand up again?
