Chapter 717: Rip-off

Celia Miller is very productive.

The next day, the Rwandan government in Africa suddenly held a press conference, pointing the finger at France, claiming that the Rwandan authorities had important evidence of the French government's alleged involvement in the Genocide in Rwanda in April this year.

In the final casualty count, the total number of casualties reached 270,000 in the Rwandan massacre, which lasted about 10 days from April 7 in the first half of the year.

Although this number is far lower than the 800,000 to 1 million victims in the original time and space, it is also one of the few racist massacres against humanity after World War II.

Because no one can afford to be accused of participating in the Holocaust.

This is especially true of France, one of the five permanent members of the United Nations and a traditional power with deep influence in Africa.

Most of the charges for the massacre have already been borne by the former Rwandan Hutu government, however, once there is conclusive evidence that the French government was involved in the massacre, not only will the raging public opinion discredit France in front of the global public and seriously damage France's international image, but also that many people, whether voluntarily or forced, will be responsible for this incident, and many high-level government officials, including the current French President Francois Mitterrand, may step down and bear long-term infamy.

Less than an hour after news of Rwanda's alleged involvement in the French government for alleged involvement in the massacre appeared on the Eaglet portal, the French reacted quickly.

While firmly refuting the Rwandan government's allegations, the French government spokesman also said that the French government would stop all humanitarian aid to Rwanda if the Rwandan authorities continued to make such groundless accusations against France.

If only a rebuttal is nothing, the French government spokesman's threat to stop aid is clearly not well thought out.

A second related article soon appeared on the Igrete portal, accusing the French government of trying to cover up the truth through disguised threats.

Moreover, since the disaster, only 15 million francs, or more than $2 million, have received direct humanitarian assistance from the French government, which is nothing compared to the more than $800 million that the Rwandan government has received from around the world since the disaster.

Even if it is just that, the French government has so far cashed in less than half of it.

Of course, there are more humanitarian aid funds and materials initiated by the French people, and the French government has no right to interfere in this regard, and not only that, but the public also has the right to know the truth, and not be forced to become a bargaining chip for the French government to threaten other countries.

Faced with the threat of a halt in aid, the Rwandan government was quite adamant and immediately said that in order to ensure that the investigation of the incident would not be affected in any way, Rwanda would return the 6.5 million francs of aid funds it had already received from the French government. At the same time, the Rwandan government has published through its official website the confessions of some of the former top Hutu government officials, pointing directly at France.

The sudden news event confuses many people, but it does not prevent the media from following up quickly.

In just one day, Rwanda's accusations of France's involvement in the massacres in the first half of the year began to boil around the world.

In modern society, there are few simple and isolated news events that occur inexplicably between two countries, and there is often a deeper game behind the scenes.

People with a keen sense of smell also noticed the catty in it for the first time.

If it turns out that France was involved in the Rwandan genocide and that this old imperialist power, which is deeply rooted in Africa, will not be able to step down, the Rwandan government will not be happy in the future.

So why did Rwanda do this all of a sudden?

Considering that the news of the event first appeared on the Egrett portal, and then the Westeros system was also fueling the trouble, things seemed less difficult to understand.

While Rwanda and France were arguing in the media, Simon, who was in Japan, received a phone call directly from the White House.

The White House clearly misunderstood Simon's intentions.

According to the original agreement, the Westeros mercenaries must withdraw from Rwanda at the end of October, and now that the date is gradually approaching, Clinton still thinks that Simon suddenly provoked this incident in order to prolong the stationing of Westeros mercenaries in Rwanda.

The U.S. military is really familiar with similar tactics around the world.

In the face of Clinton's well-intentioned admonition from a well-versed politician, Simon assured Mr. President that the Westeros system did not intend to do so, and that the Westeros mercenaries would leave Rwanda on time. In order to dispel the doubts of the White House, Simon also hinted on the phone that there was another reason for the incident.

At the end of the call, Mr. President did not forget to joke that Simon had once again caused the 'Westeros effect' in Japan.

Simon departed from New York at 2 p.m. on Oct. 18 and arrived in Japan at around 4 p.m. local time on Oct. 19.

The Tokyo stock market has closed for the day, so Wednesday is nothing special.

In order to warm up and promote Universal Studios Osaka, Simon's trip was not deliberately low-key, and the group arrived at Osaka Kansai International Airport, and a large number of well-informed Japanese media came to the airport to pick up the plane.

The Osaka City Government was very enthusiastic about Simon's arrival, and prepared a welcome dinner that evening.

Guests and hosts have fun.

The next day, however, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Simon did not expect that the Mexican government would announce that it would abandon its exchange rate protection against the Mexican peso on the same day he arrived in Japan, and the Mexican currency would collapse and the waves would begin to spread around the world.

The next morning, many Japanese media reported Simon's arrival in Osaka.

Immediately after that, at the opening of the morning, the Tokyo stock market began to fall.

After the crash five years ago, the Nikkei experienced a trough of 16,000 points last year, and only rebounded to around 20,000 points in the first half of this year, but it has also halved from the original stock market peak of about 40,000 points.

On October 20, the Tokyo stock market opened, the Nikkei index was still 21,079 points, with the impact of the Mexican economic crisis, just one day, the Nikkei index plummeted 712 points, and closed at a low of 20,367 points in the afternoon, a single-day decline of 3.4%.

While professionals understand that the collapse was due to the collapse of Mexico's currency, the general media for the general public did not.

Everyone looked left and right, and suddenly found that Simon Westeros came, and the Japanese stock market plummeted.

Well, it really doesn't feel much like a joke.

It's not funny at all.

Compared with the world's major stock markets on October 20, the Dow Jones index fell by 1.3%, the London stock market fell by 0.8%, the French Frankfurt stock market fell by 1.8%, the German stock market fell by 0.3%, and only the poor Japanese stock market fell by as much as 3.4%.

O scourge!

And that's not all.

The next day, Friday, October 21.

On the last trading day of the week, the Japanese stock market fell 591 points again throughout the day, and the Nikkei Stock Average fell back to within 20,000 points, closing at 19,776 points, a single-day decline of 2.9% compared with yesterday

In addition to inspecting the construction of most of Universal Studios, Mr. Simon will attend a gathering of Japanese business leaders in Tokyo on Friday evening, and promised an informal meeting with Tomiichi Murayama, Japan's new prime minister, who took office in June, at noon on Saturday.

Right now.

Let's go!

The Japanese stock market plummeted by 6.2% in two days, and no one can stand this kind of stimulus.

Even if the stock market does not open for two days over the weekend, who knows if you, the disaster star, continue to stay in Japan, whether the Japanese stock market will continue to be unlucky next week.

Everyone has lost a lot in the stock market crash in the past two days, and the party or something will forget it, next time, next time. The new Prime Minister, who had planned to gain some prestige through his meeting with Simon, also canceled the meeting on the grounds that he was ill.

So Simon, who was originally scheduled to spend the weekend in Japan, left on Friday afternoon with the warm welcome of his Japanese friends.

Another itinerary has already been booked in advance.

Destination: China.

I've wanted to come back for a long time, but I haven't been able to make it for various reasons.

This trip to Asia happened to be a stop.

Having communicated with the Chinese side in advance, Simon wanted a completely private and private trip, and he didn't have the idea of running to the Great Hall to show his face when his classmates visited China at the beginning of the year. If in Western countries where the press is relatively free, in the face of paparazzi, it is impossible for Simon to do this, but China has no problem.

In recent years, under Simon's intentional or unintentional push, James Raybould's Westeros has unwittingly invested more than $700 million in China, involving all aspects of China's economic field.

For China at this stage, 700 million US dollars is definitely a capital that should not be underestimated.

Relying on Simon's prophetic advantages, in addition to the Westeros system itself to establish factories in China, the establishment of R&D centers and other investments, other funds are also targeted, perhaps some investment targets will change because of Simon's butterfly effect, or some funds will be directly hacked, however, as long as some of these companies can grow up according to the previous timeline, the current investment will be able to get a return of ten times and a hundred times in the future.

On the other hand, the major companies in the Westeros system, such as Daenerys, Igrette, Melisandre, Cersei Capital, Nokia, Cisco, AOL, Tinkobar, etc., have quietly set up branches in China and have carried out very extensive cooperation with local Chinese enterprises.

Although Simon has never been to China before, and has never publicly commented on the country, the Chinese government is clearly aware of Simon's attitude towards the country through the continuous inflow of capital from the Westeros system.

Therefore, when it was learned that Simon wanted to go on a private trip, the Chinese government quickly responded positively.

Although it is very desirable that Simon, the super-rich man, will make his visit to China public, which can greatly stimulate the confidence of overseas capital in China's economy, since the young rich man wants to keep it secret, of course, there is no problem.

As long as you are satisfied with this trip, there will always be opportunities in the future.

Simon had planned to come to China from Japan on October 24, but since he was kicked out by Japan in advance, his trip to China was also temporarily advanced.

Anyway, it's a private trip, so it doesn't matter how many days early or late it is.

Departing from Osaka, Simon arrived in Shanghai on the evening of October 21.

Because of Simon's personal habits, the head of Westeros in China had already purchased a private residence for him.

The Chinese side has also equipped Simon with a team to help him coordinate any destinations of interest.

agreed in advance not to contact the official, that night, Simon only received a call from a high-level in Shanghai, and the two sides greeted each other politely, and then only a 30-year-old woman named Lin Su led a team of ten people around Simon.

On Simon's side, in addition to the crew of the private jet and two groups of bodyguards, there was only one girl A.

There was no work to be done on this trip.

After only one night in Shanghai, Simon quietly rushed to Suzhou the next day.

The purpose is simple.

Early autumn is a great time to eat crabs.

Suzhou's most famous nature is the garden.

Simon planned to go to Suzhou to eat crabs, and by the way, Lin Su directly brought the four famous gardens in Suzhou for Simon to choose, and the most famous Humble Administrator's Garden had been there, and he casually selected the most common name of the Lingering Garden.

The others let go of their free time, and only brought Girl A and a group of bodyguards to their destination.

The Lingering Garden has been cleared ahead of schedule.

Walking among the gardens, listening to the young female guide with a soft voice explain the details of each scenery in detail and skillfully, half an hour later, everyone came to a lakeside pavilion.

A set of chairs was set up in the pavilion, and two tall ladies in cheongsams were already waiting.

Only Simon, Lin Su, Girl A, and Chen Qing, a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old girl named Chen Qing, who was in charge of translating for Alison, sat down at the table.

Lin Su confirmed with Simon and ordered the two women next to him.

One of the girls left, and the other came over and poured tea for a few people.

Lin Su and the other maids poured Simon a cup of tea, saw the man take a sip and tasted it, and asked in Mandarin, "Mr. Westeros, there is also a quyi arranged here, do you want to hear it?"

Simon put down the teacup, looked at the woman beside him with the unique soft and graceful temperament of a Jiangnan woman, did not hide his fluent Chinese, and said with a smile: "Do you think I can understand?"

Lin Su also showed a good-looking smile: "Mr. Westeros is an artist, and art is all the same. ”

"You're a good talker. ”

"Thank you. ”

"Over here in Suzhou," Simon thought for a moment and asked, "Kunqu Opera?"

Lin Su had been surprised by the almost unhindered Chinese of the man in front of him since yesterday, and when he heard Simon say the word 'Kunqu Opera', his eyes were still difficult to hide, but he still nodded quickly: "Yes, Kunqu Opera, I really didn't expect Mr. Westeros to know about Kunqu Opera." ”

"If I remember correctly, the most famous piece of Kunqu opera should be "The Peony Pavilion"?"

Lin Suhong's lips opened slightly: "Mr. Westeros, I have to admit that you surprised me even more. ”

Simon smiled: "Then "The Peony Pavilion", however, I definitely don't understand, if you can, find a book of lyrics for me, I remember that the lyrics of "The Peony Pavilion" are very beautiful, although I can't understand it, but I should be able to understand it." ”

Lin Su agreed, and this time he got up and arranged it in person.
