Chapter 807: Playing the Asian Card Well (Second update, please subscribe)
Where is the plan?
In the future of course!
Although it is only less than seventy years ahead of the times, in the next seventy years, the progress of the world will be unimaginable.
What era is it now?
It is the period when the old colonial era has collapsed and neo-colonialism is still in its infancy. It should be said that it is the period when neo-colonialism is developing towards modern scientific harvestism. The current methods and means of harvesting other countries are nothing compared to those of another world.
Use all countries as vegetable gardens and harvest the world. Use all the people as fresh meat, rob the poor and give to the rich.
In another world, the United States and Western countries have played with each other countless times, and all Nanyang needs is to follow the same rules.
After happily making this decision and determined to turn Japan and South Korea into his own vegetable garden, Li Yian made another instruction on the report, then put it in the document basket aside, and continued Looking at the file.
Time passed very quickly. As it was approaching noon, Li Yian stretched himself out after finishing his official duties before going to have lunch. Most of the time, his life was no different from that of ordinary people. .
What's the biggest difference?
The office is like home. After having a simple lunch, he can go upstairs and take a nap. Anyone who knows his schedule knows that he will probably take a lunch break until about three o'clock, and basically sleep until Only when he wakes up naturally will he go downstairs again to deal with things.
But today Li Yian woke up earlier than usual. After returning to the office, he was not in a hurry to deal with the documents in the to-be-processed document basket. Instead, he picked up the phone and told the office to prepare a car. .
Half an hour later, Li Yian arrived at the International Olympic Sports Center in the Pacific Southwest - a new city centered on Olympic venues and parks. In the construction of Olympic venues, he fully learned from The experience of later real estate operations shows that although the main stadium is still just a construction site, relying on the concept of the Olympics, the land price of this land has increased more than ten times. The income from the sale of the land has basically recovered the investment in the construction of the main stadium. investment.
Although Nanyang has not successfully bid to host the Olympic Games, the infrastructure construction related to the Olympic Games has already started as early as the beginning of the year, and the Olympic Stadium is part of it.
"A stadium with 100,000 people..."
As the chairman of the Olympic Committee, Chen Jixuan pointed to the construction site in front of him and introduced.
“After the Olympic Stadium is completed, it will become the largest stadium in the Far East and will also be the most advantageous bargaining chip for our bid to host the Olympic Games.”
In history, some cities did not have suitable venues because they did not have suitable venues. It was eliminated during the application process. Now Nanyang is improving various hardware facilities bit by bit to pave the way for the bid to host the Olympic Games. Of course, it is also to further meet the people's sports needs. This urban management system will definitely be opened to the people in the future and used by the people. Exercise, and there is absolutely no admission charge.
“So what’s the attitude of the International Olympic Committee?”
Li Yian asked.
“The new Olympic Committee President Brundage prefers to hold the Olympics in Asia, and we are currently lobbying the International Sports Federation, who previously preferred to hold the Olympics in Europe. So we now hope that they can change their mind . Support hosting the Olympics in Asia. After all, the Olympics have never been held in Asia for half a century, which is very unfair, so the problem should not be big."
Li Yian nodded in agreement.
"This is a good starting point. We must play the Asian card well. The 1960 Olympics is not just the Olympics in Chang'an, but also the one that Asia has long awaited. We must let them understand that the whole of Asia is longing for this event. The Olympics are held in Asia.”
In fact, there is no difference between Olympic voting and diplomacy. To put it bluntly, it means making full use of the resources at hand to canvass votes. In another world, when Japan applied to host the 1964 Olympics, it played the Asian card—no country in Asia had ever hosted the Olympics, and the International Olympic Committee could not exclude more than a billion Asian people.
Japan can play the Asian card, so of course Nanyang can also play the Asian card.
“How many cities are applying to host the Olympic Games now?”
“So far, there are 15 cities including Chang’an, namely Detroit, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis in the United States. , New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Chicago. Rome in Italy, Athens in Greece, Brussels in Belgium, Budapest in Hungary, Buenos Aires in Argentina, Lausanne in Switzerland and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.”
This is the Olympic Games with the largest number of bids in history. Who will be the final winner in another world?
It seems to be Rome. Li Yian asked.
“For now, which cities have the greatest advantages?”
“We can basically exclude those cities in the United States. There are too many cities in the United States, and Brennan Deitch himself is an American. In order to achieve a certain political balance and avoid conflicts in all aspects, American cities will definitely not be eligible for this Olympics. Then there is Budapest, Hungary, which is a country on the other side of the Iron Curtain. The reason why they applied for the Olympic Games seems to have been inspired by Moscow. In order to test the attitude of the International Olympic Committee, if the International Olympic Committee does not object to hosting the Olympic Games in Eastern countries, then they will also apply for the Olympic Games in the future. But at present, the International Olympic Committee. The Olympic Committee will definitely be inclined to exclude it. Now the people who influence the Olympics are Western countries such as the United States and Britain, and then..."
Even the Olympics cannot be separated from politics and the influence of various countries. All kinds of overt and covert struggles between them. In the future this will become the new normal of the Cold War.
Sometimes they even find various reasons to boycott the Olympic Games.
Chen Jixuan analyzed the probability of success of each city's bid one by one, and finally focused on three European countries.
“That is to say, Rome in Italy, Lausanne in Switzerland, and Brussels in Belgium are the three cities with the highest probability, but they also have their own shortcomings. Lausanne and Brussels lack infrastructure. As for Rome, well, It should be said to be our biggest competitor."
Almost the same as in history, Li Yian thought for a while and asked again.
“So are our chances high?”
“First of all, we are Asian countries. No Asian country has applied to host the Olympic Games. With good infrastructure and a good economy, I think Our probability of success is still very high, and besides..."
Chen Jixuan said.
“Chairman Brundage likes to collect Asian art.”
“Then help him collect some,”
Isn’t it just a matter of following his fancy? It’s easy, just collect some Japanese and Southeast Asian artworks and give them to him. Anyway, there are quite a lot of artworks, antiques, cultural relics and the like from those countries, and they are also very unique.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yian said.
"Also, you can visit Moscow in a private capacity at the appropriate time to win support from Moscow. As long as we have Moscow's support, the 1960 Olympics will basically be ours."
Even though Moscow is just one country, their attitude can determine all the countries on the other side of the Iron Curtain, as long as they win their support.
“Since Moscow also wants to bid for the Olympics, when you go there, you can also promise them that when Moscow applies for the Olympics in the future, we will stand with them and support their bid for the Olympics.”
In fact, the simplest way for countries to get along is to exchange certain interests. Through the exchange of interests, both parties can easily reach some consensus and then each achieve their own goals.
In fact, Li Yi'an is still looking forward to the 1960 Olympics. This expectation is more about showing Nanyang to the world, making full use of this opportunity, and letting the world see a different of Nanyang.
Like Japan in another world, the Olympic Games allowed the world to re-understand a brand new Japan.
And Nanyang needs to be known and recognized by the world.
