▼ + stars: | 2024-04-12 | by ( Heather Chen | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +12 min

The scale of the fraud was said to be equivalent to roughly 3% of Vietnam’s economy. Though widely considered ceremonial, the presidency is one of the top three positions in Vietnam’s political hierarchy after the CPV’s Secretary General, currently Nguyen Phu Trong. In fact, the International Monetary Fund expects Vietnam’s economy to grow by 5.8% this year, compared to 4.6% for China. Their fate remains unclear, given the highly secretive nature of Vietnam’s political system. But Vietnamese political experts said a permanent appointment would not end the instability.

Salt Bae's restaurant in London said it cuts heating during peak hours. AdvertisementThe Nusr-Et Steakhouse in London said it cuts heating during peak hours to save money despite posting a profit, The Guardian reported. The group said in its accounts that to improve energy efficiency, its London steakhouse had turned "off central heating after closing or during peak hours when heating demand is lower," The Guardian reported. D.Ream International, the parent company of the Nusr-Et group, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Despite the financial success of Gökçe's London steakhouse, his brand has taken a hit in recent years.

Farrer is better known as the Timepiece Gentleman, the flashiest online dealer in the $75 billion luxury watch trade. All he needed was the right name for his luxury watch business — something distinctive, something memorable. In his mind, he pictured what the ultimate luxury watch dealer would look like. To launch his career as the Timepiece Gentleman, Farrer boned up on the jargon of horology, from escape wheels and spring barrels to flinques and guilloches. Despite the staggering size of the luxury watch trade, nobody had thought to market its glamour and mystique.

Nusret Gökçe — AKA Salt Bae — opened Manhattan's Salt Bae Burger in 2020. Earlier this month, the Union Square restaurant closed its doors. The Turkish butcher, chef, and entertainer quickly rose to fame with the nickname Salt Bae, and has gone on to amass an international chain of Nusr-Et steakhouses. Salt Bae Burger opened in February 2020 — mere weeks before COVID-19 would shut down the world — but not before Gothamist dubbed it the "worst restaurant in New York City." The New York location was the second Salt Bae Burger opened by Gökçe.

At this open-air shopping center in suburban Dallas, they valet-park their Porsches, sport Yves Saint Laurent handbags, flit in and out of Audemars Piguet and pause for brunch at Sadelle’s, the fancy new deli from Major Food Group in New York. Even the sugar for coffee comes to the table in tiny Le Creuset Dutch ovens. Dallas has long had a reputation for living large, an image built on oil money and the wide swaths of ranch land displayed on its namesake TV series. These companies are giving Dallas the kind of attention they’ve previously lavished on tourist playgrounds like Las Vegas and Miami. Major Food Group opened a Dallas branch of its maximalist-Italian restaurant Carbone last year, and says it has even larger ambitions in the city.
