Chapter 855 People are self-aware
Long Island, New York, is the most prestigious area of the world's eight major bay areas, and is the natural hometown of the city in the background of bustling Manhattan, gathering 8 million of the world's wealthiest people, and is the richest central villa area in the world.
Former US President Roosevelt, the Kennedy family, Song Daling, the wife of Chang Kaishen in modern China, the Morgan family who started on Wall Street, and Hollywood stars have settled here.
New York's Long Island villas are to the United States as Victoria Peak Villas are to Hong Kong, both are symbols of wealth and power.
Back at his villa, Smith stood alone on the balcony, smoking cigar after cigar.
More than ten minutes later, a young woman who looked like Wendi Deng came to the balcony and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
Undoubtedly, this woman is Smith's wife, Juliet.
The aesthetics of Westerners are very different from those of Orientals, and Julily's appearance can only be said to be ordinary in the East, and can even be said to be ugly, but in the West, it is a stunning beauty that makes countless men love to the point of madness.
Zhu Lili is a Chinese Indonesian, originally she joined the Chinese escort team created by Lin Cheng in Indonesia, and was asked by Wang Chao to come over because of her outstanding performance to serve as Smith's bodyguard and nanny.
never thought that Zhu Lili, who was originally unpopular in Southeast Asia, was favored and loved by countless white men after coming to the United States, and Smith fell in love with her at first sight, regardless of the disparity in status between the two, and proposed to Zhu Lili.
Julie rejected Smith's pursuit at first out of inferiority, but Smith did not give up, and after three months of tireless pursuit, Julie was finally moved by Smith's infatuation, so she agreed to Smith's marriage proposal.
After Lin Cheng got the news, he was naturally happy to fulfill the two of them, so he ordered Wang Chao to approve Zhu Lili's resignation, and Zhu Lili was able to become Smith's wife.
For Zhu Lili's flying branches and becoming a phoenix, the female mercenaries under the umbrella are quite angry, they look at it from the perspective of the Oriental, and feel that Zhu Lili's appearance is angular, her facial features are three-dimensional, like a man more than a woman, such an ugly appearance was actually fell in love at first sight by Smith, and she was really blind.
But in the eyes of Westerners, Smith really picked up a big bargain, and he was really envious of others to marry such a beautiful Chinese beauty.
Although he was a little awkward about Juli's identity as an umbrella, Smith still loved Juli very much, he hesitated, and said honestly: "I'm nothing, it's just that our big boss Mr. Lin Cheng is coming." ”
Zhu Lili hugged Smith's waist from behind, and said gently: "I understand, you are actually very unwilling to be just a marionette in the hands of Mr. Lin."
But we Chinese have an old saying since ancient times, people are self-aware, which means that the most important thing for people is to know how capable they are, and don't eat too much if they don't have such a big appetite.
You may be thinking in your heart now, why does the money I earn by my own ability belong to Mr. Lin?
But ask yourself, if it weren't for Mr. Lin's guidance and plan, would you really be able to earn 10 billion dollars?"
Smith's heart trembled, Julili's words were really not polite, they went straight to his heart!
In fact, there is no need to ask, Smith also understands that if Lin Cheng hadn't taken a fancy to him and appointed him as his spokesperson for the US imperialists, Smith would have ranked eighteenth on the Forbes rich list, and he would have jumped from a high-rise building in Bangkok and became a mangled corpse two years ago, just like those who were affected by the financial crisis and went bankrupt.
A few years ago, Smith came to Bangkok, Thailand, to pan for gold, and because of the economic boom in Southeast Asia at that time, coupled with his ability, he was also a small multi-millionaire in Bangkok, with a private estate and luxury cars.
Moreover, the local Thai people have a natural worship of white people, and Smith is definitely a man of honor in Southeast Asia, living an aristocratic life.
But when a financial crisis broke out two years ago, Smith failed to anticipate the financial crisis in advance, resulting in all his investments in Southeast Asia losing all his money, and the investment company he founded was heavily in debt and was collected by countless customers.
Overwhelmed by huge debts, Smith wants to climb the tallest building in Bangkok and jump off to end his life when he sees the financial crisis intensifying and his debts are unable to be repaid.
But at this moment, he was approached by Lin Cheng's subordinates, who were willing to repay the huge debt he was carrying, on the condition that he agree to serve as Lin Cheng's spokesman for the interests of the American imperialists.
The conditions offered by the other party are like a trap from the sky for the exhausted Smith, how could he not agree?
So Smith's legendary life set sail, he took the funds provided by Lin Cheng to found today's capital investment company, in the past two years under the guidance of Lin Cheng, he has been invincible in the stock market, and now he is on the Forbes rich list, wealth, mansions, beauties, everything.
Although he didn't want to admit it, looking back on the past two years, Smith found that Lin Cheng was not only his nobleman, but also his savior.
Thinking about it like this, Smith's depression as a puppet was alleviated by more than half, and his mood slowly calmed down.
Seeing that Smith was moved, Zhu Lili continued to persuade: "Think about it, although most of the assets of today's capital belong to Mr. Lin, didn't he leave you a fortune of 500 million?
Smith said with a smile: "There is no 500 million, only 200 million, and I say 500 million just to fight for face in front of Forbes reporters." ”
Zhu Lili said with a smile: "200 million is also remarkable, think about it, Mr. Lin's number one general, Liang Botao, has made great contributions to Mr. Lin's defeat of Soros in the process of Mr. Lin's defeat, but what Mr. Lin gave him was just a billion Hong Kong dollars worth of Lin Holdings shares."
As for you, you just helped him buy and sell stocks in the United States according to Mr. Lin's instructions, but you got a reward of 200 million US dollars, which is 500 million or 600 million more than Liang Botao if converted into Hong Kong dollars. ”
Smith's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded: "Think about it differently, it's true that I want to be bad, I should be content!"
Happiness is obtained through comparison, and after Julie said this, Smith found that although he did not contribute the most in Lin Cheng's system, his wealth was only below Lin Cheng, and he could be called an existence above ten thousand people under one person.
At this point, Smith finally let go of all the unwillingness in his heart and willingly became Lin Cheng's puppet.
