In a small log cabin by the beach in Miami, there are more than a dozen strong men in dark suits and sunglasses standing outside.

No one can get close to it, not even the local police, who are always patrolling the beach.

Qiao Yuanfan stood by the window and watched for a while, then drew the curtain and sat back in his seat: "Actually, what I don't understand the most is that so many federal agents protect here, are you afraid that others won't know that there is a big man here, and you won't know that one of the most powerful people in the United States, Mr. James Comey, the director of the FBI, is here?"

"Something that seems stupid, but somebody does it. ”

One of the most powerful men in the United States, FBI Director James Comey, smiled and said, "My security is not that serious, I have to keep you safe." Some say I'm one of the most powerful people in all of America, but I know that's not the case. Because in front of me sat seven of the most powerful men in the world. ”

Seven people sat opposite, six were European faces, and only one was an Eastern face:

Qiao Yuanfan!

All seven members of the IFO Executive Committee have arrived today!

Seven of the richest and most powerful people in the world!

Wilson, the chief consul of the IFO and one of the seven executive committees, cleared his throat and said:

"Gentlemen, all seven members of the Executive Committee have arrived, and there is still some time before the official meeting of the IFO General Assembly to be held in January next year, but today I will bring you to Miami to enjoy the beautiful beaches of Miami and the sexy girls, and of course, I must solemnly mention that you have to consider your age when you sleep with the girls. ”

There was laughter in the room.

Wilson was quick to say, "Second thing. It's the FBI's plan for help. IFOs have a large amount of investment funds, but these investments must be fully approved by the seven executive committees. Then Mr. James Comey, in the presence of distinguished gentlemen, you can make your own request. ”

"Yes, thank you for being able to give me the right to speak at this extraordinary meeting. James didn't mean to joke at all:

"I know your time is precious, so I won't say more about those kind words. It is well known. The FBI can be seen all over the world, and every year we have some plans, some of which are public, and some of which are not visible. There are even plans that are not known to anyone at all, except for the core figures, including our esteemed Mr. President, and are carried out entirely independently by the FBI. For example, this time's 'Black Cornerstone Project'. ”

James paused there: "The Black Cornerstone program was launched three years ago, without the approval of Congress and Mr. President, and the FBI would even deny the existence of such a program. But I can tell you, distinguished gentlemen, that the Black Cornerstone program does exist, and that it was launched simultaneously in the United States, in Europe, in Asia, in Africa. Gentlemen, in order to show my sincerity, I would now like to give you a look at the contents of the whole project. ”

Several materials were sent to the hands of the seven executive committees of the IFO.

Looking at it, everyone's face showed a look of surprise.

Seven copper basins were placed in front of each of the executive committees, even though James didn't say anything. The seven executive committees also know what they should do.

They struck the matches that had been prepared long ago and lit the materials. Then throw it into a copper basin and watch it burn to ashes.

"There is no Black Cornerstone Project, there is no Black Cornerstone Project in this world. James emphatically emphasized this point: "But I can guarantee that you will see the most complete information, and that there will be no more than ten people in the world, including you, who will know the most complete information." ”

Qiao Yuanfan smiled faintly: "That is to say, except for the seven of us." I feel very honored to be able to know that there are only three people in the world who know the entire plan. But I think that if Director James is so generous, then there must be something to ask us for? What is the matter? I think maybe there is something wrong with your funds. ”

"Yes. There is a problem with funding, and it is a big problem. James didn't deny it at all: "As I said, this is a shady plan, and it won't get funding from the government." For three years, I've been trying to figure out how to raise funds to keep Project Blackstone going. But apparently I wasn't good at how to raise money. I've even used FBI's money for other projects, which has caused some of my subordinates to protest. ”

He took a sip of the red wine in his glass: "Huge money, gentlemen, I need a huge amount of money every year in order to support the Black Cornerstone Project. What could be more of a greater help than the IFO can provide me? Only with your support is like opening a treasure trove, and I don't have to worry about funding anymore. ”

"You're at least right, Mr. Director. Wilson said: "The need for money is indeed huge, and it has long been beyond the scope of what the FBI can afford. But for IFOs, it's just a pittance of money. We can support it without limits, and we can even provide twice as much, so you have plenty of room to manoeuvre. But what I want to ask, and it's a question that every member of the Executive Committee here wants to ask, what about the returns? What kind of rewards do we have?"

Requite!

That's the heart of the matter!

Every investment in IFO requires a return of tens or even hundreds of times!

"Of course it will pay off. James had long expected the other party to say this: "You will have the full friendship of the FBI, and you will have the full support of the FBI." This support is unconditional. You can even have a privilege, a privilege that may not be bound by law. God, let those people in the Department of Justice hear about it and prosecute me. But I'm telling the truth. Of course, this is only a reward in a sense. ”

Is there still a monetary one?

James said slowly: "In a small African country, Botskiriva, there was a coup d'état led by Major Bofitt~, the legitimately elected president was ousted, and Major Bofit became the new president. The reason why he was able to succeed in the coup d'état was because the FBI gave him a lot of help. Why would we be so interested in a small country that is hard to find on a map? Because along with poverty in Botkiriva is a newly discovered diamond mine. ”

None of the members of the Seven Executive Committees were surprised by this.

They had long known about the existence of this huge diamond mine from different sources. Some of them are even preparing to get their hands on the diamond mine.

"I know every one of you here is interested in this diamond mine. James seemed a little helpless: "But although the FBI can control the situation there, it can't mine the diamond mines there." But unlike you, you can swagger into Botkiriva and mine diamond mines, and you can take advantage of the low daily wages that only require one bread of labor. And as the president of that country, Major Bofitt, you just need to let him have a little stake. ”

"What if Major Bofitt is jealous of the huge profits from the diamond mines and is ready to take it for himself?" asked one of the executive committee members.

James smiled: "Then we can pick a new president out." Major, Captain, or just one soldier? Who knows. It's not the president who has the final say, it's the FBI. ”

Looking at these members, James began to accentuate his tone: "It's not just one Botsky Riva, there are too many countries like this. Gentlemen, don't you think it's a huge market?"

Indeed, such temptation ~ temptation is difficult to resist.

"Gentlemen, I think we all understand Director James's intentions. As the IFO's chief consul, Wilson was quick to say, "The seven members of the IFO's executive committee can now vote on the FBI's request for assistance from the Black Cornerstone." I must solemnly reiterate that if any member of the Executive Committee disagrees, then this vote will not be passed!"

With that, Wilson was the first to raise his hand.

The other members of the executive committee also raised their hands one after another to express their agreement, and only the last executive committee member remained:

Qiao Yuanfan!

Everyone's eyes fell on Qiao Yuanfan.

If any member of the Executive Committee disagrees, the vote will not be passed.

Qiao Yuanfan sighed: "It's not a very good proposal, but I can't find a reason to oppose it." I'm never going to go there in my life, I'm not going to pay attention to any diamond mines. But I think maybe one day I'll need the FBI to help me. ”

So, he raised his hand too.

James's heart relaxed.

Then, the application was approved. Wilson began: "The first money will soon be sent to the FBI's secret account, and from the first minute the first money arrives, the IFO will immediately enjoy the dividends it brings." The Botkiriwa diamond mine will be launched immediately, and the profits will be distributed equally among the accounts of each of the executive members!"

"I am grateful to the IFO for the help they have given me and the FBI. James stood up and said, "Whatever you need my help with, ask me." And the first step, in order to repay your support, Mr. Qiao Yuanfan, the FBI will capture O'Higgins in the shortest possible time. ”

Qiao Yuanfan just sat there and smiled faintly!(To be continued......)
