Chapter 143 Communication
Richie saw that Jonas did not hide anything at all, and he was in a very good mood.
He valued Jonas for Yannick and for his closeness.
If Jonas is not of the same mind as him, no matter how capable Richie is, he will not support him, and even suppress it.
He took off his gloves and opened the humidor next to the couch.
In his early years, he had a long business with Cuba in sugar, minerals, and cigars, and the cigars he smoked were all Cohiba cigars given to him by Cuban leaders.
This cigar used to be only given as a national gift, but this year it began to be sold to the wealthy, and this cigar is a week's living expenses for ordinary people.
"One?"
Jonas didn't smoke it, but Wolf took one.
Ursula handed over the cigar cutter and took another airbrush, and the two old smokers cut off the cigar heads, lit the cigar with the airbrush, and began to swallow the clouds and puff out the smoke.
After taking two puffs, Richie said with a cigar in his hand: "I already know your intentions, and I will give a solution to Yannick's assets." ”
Jonas nodded, not interrupting.
He said to Wolff: "With regard to this part of the assets, you will make a financial statement based on the profitability of Yannick's investments and funds. ”
Turning to Jonas, he added, "As long as it is not too far from the truth, I can arrange for someone else to pay you this money." What do you think?"
Jonas immediately said: "Of course, this is the best, and there is no need for the financial staff to investigate the turnover of every fund." ”
Richie pointed at Jonas with his cigar in his hand and couldn't help but laugh. "Jonas, I always have a very strange feeling every time. Although you are only eighteen years old, you seem to have many years of experience in the various ways of business.
Whatever the arrangement, you can see the reason behind it, and your talent in this area is enviable. ”
Jonas smiled as he feigned embarrassment. "You're too famous, I still need to learn. ”
Rich asked, "Is your talent for analyzing changes in world politics also innate?"
Jonas froze, then smiled again. "It's not so much a talent as I think it's reasoning about logical relationships. ”
Richie shook his head and said, "No, it's not math, it's not physics. With your environment, it's impossible for you to know more or grasp all the reasoning conditions.
Under such conditions, you can have an accurate judgment of the changes in the political situation, which is not logic, but talent. ”
Richie was of course a brilliant man, and there was nothing to hide in front of him, and Jonas never thought that he could completely fool him.
However, the only thing that can make Richie comment like this should be Arnold Milkan.
Jonas hesitated, but decided to make a show in front of him. "Is there any good news from Uncle Arnolde?"
Richie glanced at Saint-Domingo and smiled, "Look, I knew he could guess." Jonas, I believe this time it's logical reasoning. ”
Saint-Domingo had a gentle smile on his face, and only Wolf didn't understand their topic, but none of them explained to him.
Ritchie turned to Wolf and said, "Madame Santo Domingo will be the general manager of people for the energy group, and the first thing she will do on her job will be to coordinate the affiliation between the energy group and Hoffman's investment bank.
The original assets of Hoffman Investment Bank, whether cash assets, fixed assets, or share assets, can be received as long as Jonas sells them.
As for pricing, you can come up with a preliminary statistic, as long as it is not too different, she will coordinate it. ”
Wolf asked, "That is, our statistics are not actually important, the key is to look at your attitude?"
Richie smiled implicitly and said, "You can't say that, and you can't quote a sky-high price, which makes me embarrassed in the middle." ”
Wolf saw Jonas nod lightly and smiled, "In this case, our work will be very easy." ”
Madame Santo Domingo smiled and said, "Come with me, Wolfe, I will introduce you to a colleague of yours, and you will have a direct conversation about the transfer of Yannick's assets in the coming time." ”
Wolf knew exactly what this meant, and he looked at Jonas again, and seeing that he was not surprised, he knew that Jonas and Richie must have had some conversation that was inconvenient for him to hear.
Suddenly, Wolf had a feeling that Jonas, who was still a child in his eyes, didn't seem so innocent.
He held his cigar, stood up and smiled: "I am also very curious about the famous Villa Rosa, and I am very excited to see it." ”
Saint-Domingo led Wolf downstairs, and Richie put on his gloves again and began to fix his skis. Jonas volunteered, "I'll help you wax!"
"Don't get your hands dirty, do your own thing. ”
Jonas glanced at the snow outside and said, "I would also like to accompany you to the skiing, but this winter, I'm afraid I won't have time." ”
Richie asked, "Worried?"
Jonas shook his head. "It's not worrying, it's just a little confused. ”
Richie smiled and asked, "Where does your faith come from?"
Jonas patted himself on the back and said, "Of course it's because Uncle Mark is here." ”
Richie glanced at him and continued to polish his skis. "Since you are willing to regard me as the closest person, can you tell me from what point you judged that Persia had the idea of an armistice, and that Amenia was ready to re-woo Persia?"
Jonas gives Milkan a trick to free the international tycoon with his complex identity from a desperate situation.
A month ago, even Richie thought it was impossible for Milkan to get out and was in a dead end.
He had to be a scapegoat, something that even the Jewish state could not help. It is impossible for them to go directly to Armenia for the sake of a Mirkan.
Rich had his own ties to Armenia and the Jewish state, including Persia, and he knew very well that at a time when the Iran-Iraq war was so stalemate, it was impossible for one person's chips to leverage the market.
Naturally, there were pacifists in Armenia and Persia, but this position was definitely not the mainstream.
Even Rich thinks there is nothing he can do, he can't be on the opposite side of the mainstream.
This disappointed Milkan, who had come to ask for help, and was ready to be sacrificed.
However, leaving Villa Rosa, he went to Zurich and met the young man Jonas.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a turning point.
According to Jonas's analysis, he went to Persia in a desperate attempt to survive.
When he arrived in Persia, he first collected the Persian losses on the battlefield, and as an arms dealer, he was able to obtain a list of weapons from the army, and then counted the Persian casualties.
To Rich's surprise, Mirkan met with Khamenei and persuaded him to release his kindness first, which was simply impossible for the hard-line Khamenei.
With Khamenei's promise, Mirkan was in good spirits and went to Amenia.
In the past half month, Mirkan has received the approval of more and more parliamentarians that it is not in the interests of Armenia to continue to maintain a tough policy towards Persia.
The Iran-Iraq war involved an international confrontation between the Eastern and Western blocs, and only by participating in it can we gain more benefits.
After Persia took the lead in sending a message of peace, although Armenia did not want the war to end, they could intervene in the war in a different way.
Now Mirkan is back in the seat of the Ministry of Defense, and has the support of the Armenian arms dealers, who will re-establish a channel of dialogue with Persia if they are the first to send a signal.
Although the situation is not yet clear, at least for Milkan, it is out of a desperate situation.
And all this was first analyzed by an eighteen-year-old young man.
Not to mention Rich, even the Persian and Armenian authorities, they would not have imagined that they would have a day of reconciliation with each other.
So, how did Jonas analyze it?
Jonas couldn't help but laugh as he watched Richie's movements.
The fact that he talked to Jonas about it in a chat so lightly actually sent two signals.
One is that he is willing to treat Jonas as his own, so he doesn't need to care about etiquette. At the same time, it can also dilute Jonas's defensive mentality, allowing Jonas to show his true emotions when he is not defensive.
Little did he know, Jonas knew him better than he thought, more about what he would experience in the decades that followed, and that he had lived well until 2013.
He thought Jonas would hesitate, but he didn't know that from the first time he saw him, Jonas had already treated him like a thigh.
Therefore, Jonas will not hide anything from him, although he will not directly say that he is a time-traveler from the afterlife, but he is willing to communicate with him about some international events.
"Uncle Mark, you can see this as a gift, or you can see this as my ability. My understanding of everything is not to start from the details, but to analyze it from a higher perspective.
Since the Age of Discovery, human warfare and development have been inseparable from the competition for resources.
From the First World War to the present, the law of change in the international situation has actually been traceable.
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. As long as we grasp this point, we can actually find its contingency and inevitability in many matters.
The Persian revolution made them enemies of Armenia, but with this most important resource in the world today, it was an indispensable weapon for Armenia to contain the nations of the world.
As long as there are more important opponents in Armenia, they will not give up their interests for the sake of face and emotions.
Babylon dared to do it only with the support of Armenia, but now, they are getting closer and closer to the Soviet Union, which Armenia cannot bear. ”
Richie stopped what he was doing and stared at Jonas for a long time before he said, "I neglected you a little in the past, and you are no longer an ignorant child. In the future, we can communicate more together. ”
