Jonas wanted to use Rich's power, but he was unwilling to take on the corresponding obligations, which Richie could clearly feel.

However, he would not think that it was because of reputation and interests, but only that it was due to Jonas's lack of heart.

Jonas was still a nineteen-year-old young man, and it was normal to have a fear of their circle.

Jonas also showed an attitude that he wanted to wait until he graduated from college before slowly entering this cannibalistic circle.

In Richie's opinion, this is a distrust of him, and with his ability, wanting to take care of the young man Jonas is just a gesture.

No matter how greedy the underground boss is, he will not offend Jonas because he wants to take advantage of him, and the cost and reward do not match.

Unbeknownst to him, Jonas was not worried about this at all, but about his international image.

It's no wonder that Richie didn't think of this, because no one could have imagined that Jonas was a time-traveler who knew the international situation in the future.

Hearing Richie say this, Jonas knew he had to make it clear that it was impossible to continue to be slimy and unclear about his position as he is now.

After all, Richie is an international tyrant, although he is now somewhat famous because of Armenia's wanted, but his forces want to deal with anyone and protect anyone easily.

Moreover, Armenia wants to deal with him, mainly the Republican Party, and the attitude of the Democratic Party towards him has always been very ambiguous.

Although he was wanted by Armenia, he still had a lot of business with him in the years to come.

In Jonas's memory, in '85, Richie made at least $100 million in business with the Department of Agriculture through an agricultural subsidy program that helped Europe buy Armenian barley and wheat;

In '88, Ridge International's shell company, Clay London Ltd., sold $30 million worth of nickel, copper, and zinc to the Armenian Mint, which equates to the coins produced by Armenia in two years, all of which were raw materials supplied by Ridge.

In the early nineties, the Home Office's request was approved by the Armenian government to allow another Rich company to invest $45 million to set up an alumina plant in the newly developed Virk Islands.

Being estranged from someone like Richie is definitely not in line with his development.

But getting too close to him will also affect his future development plans.

So following behind Richie, Jonas said directly: "I'm not rejecting you, I just want to be able to enter the Armenian market without restrictions, and I don't think that following you all the time is more conducive to the development of the entire interest group than me becoming your ally." ”

Hearing Jonas's words, Richie stopped and turned back to ask, "Do you think you have what it takes to be my ally now?"

"Of course not. Jonah said frankly, "You and most of the other partners don't have such a good reputation, and I'm as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, so why should I bother to dye myself black? ”

Richie's new secretary, Kristin, trotted up to meet him, took Richie's briefcase and said, "Sir, the car is ready." ”

Richie nodded at him, waved his hand, and waited for him to leave before asking, "Tell me what you really think." ”

"We keep in close contact without having to label me so that I may even be a bridge between you and Armenia in the future," Jonas said. ”

Richie took a closer look at Jonas's face and said, "I realize that I seem to have underestimated you before, is it that the cooperation with Milkan has made you full of confidence in the future?"

Jonas shook his head and said, "No, I clearly know that only you are the only one I can trust and rely on. However, I don't want to rely on you all the time, I want to replace you. ”

"Looks like you have a complete plan in mind......"

"Any plan needs your support. ”

He looked at the watch on his wrist and said as he walked, "So, let me wait and see." I'd love to know, what kind of development plans do you have. ”

Jonas affirmed, "Mark, I won't let you down in me. ”

Koenig opened the back door of a Land Rover 4x4, and Richie sat in and said, "Jonas, I hope you're like your dad and will never let me down." ”

Two identical cars drove out, and the dark glass made it difficult to see inside.

A big man like him travels like a thief every day, which is by no means what Jonas wants.

Although today left a rift in Richie's heart because of his statement, Jonas has no regrets.

He nodded affirmatively, and yes, he wouldn't regret it.

Back at home, Hannah sat in the living room with a stack of papers in her hand, but instead of looking at the papers, she stared at the TV screen.

Inside the TV, a familiar tune was playing, and Theresa was walking stubbornly and firmly with a guitar on her back.

Jonas came back a little late, less than thirty seconds before the show ended and Hannah withdrew her gaze. "She sings very well. ”

Jonas was a little surprised and said, "It's been in Switzerland so soon!"

Hannah sorted through the papers in her hand and said: "The previous broadcast said that this song has been at the top of the major radio charts in the UK since last week, which is the first time in the UK in nearly two decades. ”

From the sixties to the seventies, the whole world was crazy about rock 'n' roll, not only in Britain and the United States, but also in most of Europe.

Pop music is not popular in Europe and the United States, and the top 10 of the major charts are almost all rock songs.

In the past two years, Mike Jackson has started to fire in order to compete for a place on the leaderboard.

But that's in the United States, in the United Kingdom, and it's still the world of rock and roll. Jackson's song has never been to the top spot.

Moreover, the proud Brit in no way recognized Jackson's prowess, considered him a sissy, considered him a first-rate dancer, a second-rate stage presence, and a third-rate singer.

But whether the British admit it or not, Jackson is still like a spark on fire, and it is on fire.

Three years later, Jackson's third album was released, and at that time, the British also began to be fascinated by Jackson.

Theresa's song was able to reach the top spot, which surprised Jonas, although this song is great, but it is still the world of rock and roll!

Seeing that Jonas didn't speak, Hannah raised her head and asked, "Are you particularly proud in your heart?"

If it was a song he wrote, of course Jonas would be proud, but now that he was just a thief, what was there to be proud of.

Jonas shook his head and said, "I don't have time to think about this right now...... Grandma, this is the information that Mark gave me, you can ask someone to investigate. ”

Hannah took the material and began to read it, and Jonas came to the phone and dialed Wolf's number.

"Wolf, is the current inventory and processing of assets coming to an end?"

"Yes, in the first phase, we will be able to dispose of more than 600 million worth of assets, and in addition to repaying the loan, we will be able to withdraw about 300 million. The remaining about 130 million can also be withdrawn around mid-February. ”

"Have you seen Bennett?"

Wolf was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you sure you want him to be the main trader?"

Jonas said, "No, you're the marshal, he's just a general. ”

"I see. ”

Hanging up the phone, Jonas of course knew that Wolf was a little unhappy, he originally thought that he was the only one to rely on Jonas, but now, there is one more Bennett to steal the credit.

But even if it's just for the sake of balance, Jonas won't let him be in power alone.

Returning to Hannah, he said, "Grandma, personally, I tend to participate in this investment, although we can't have a say in this investment, but Mark will not let this project fail. ”

Hannah nodded and asked, "Is there any other reason?"

"Stable and long-term investment, coupled with uncomplicated equity relationships, allows me to learn from this experience and, most importantly, to ensure that my assets grow in value. ”

"That's all?"

Jonas said ruthlessly: "I want to use some of the funds to go to the financial market and spend two years to lay out the overall situation." If they can win, the Hoffman family will enter a new phase, and even if they lose, it will not break their bones. ”

Hannah immediately understood and asked, "Since this is the back road you left behind, what exactly is a risky investment?"

If Jonas wants to fry the yen, he must have Hannah's support, and he said without concealment: "I'm going to fry the yen." ”

This was definitely Hannah's unexpected answer, and she paused for a moment before saying, "This seems so far away from our world, I can't figure out how you would be interested in the yen." ”

The implication was that Jonas had to have a reason to convince her.

Jonas pondered for a while before saying: "My talent lies in the analysis of the general situation of the world, and now the international economy is booming, especially Dongying, whose products are sold all over the world, and their economic aggregate is the total economic aggregate of Germany and France combined.

Today's Dongying is developing too fast, which is definitely not in the long-term interests of Europe and the United States, so I guess that within two years at most, Europe and the United States will snipe at Dongying's economic development. ”

Hannah is no stranger to economics, and while she is not a qualified leader, she is also a qualified bank steward.

She also has her own set of cognition of the economic data and economic development trends of various countries.

She understands what Jonas said, and she also knows that it is most effective to snipe at a country's economic development, especially for an export-oriented country like Dongying, forcing the other party's currency to appreciate and reduce export competitiveness.

The two discussed the issue, and although Hannah did not nod in agreement, at least accepted Jonas's idea.

She concluded: "Speculating on a country's currency requires a lot of capital, and our Hoffmann family is far from enough. So, although I have no objection to your plan, you must not be a bird, and I hope that our family can hide behind it. ”

Jonas laughed. "That's what I thought, too. ”
