Chapter 505: Something Happened to the Torch

All the events predicted by Ed Wharton have come true, and since February, the international economy has also been turbulent. 【Reading.com】

The US dollar suddenly and sharply depreciated, because the dollar depreciated, the RMB appreciated, China's $1.6 trillion foreign exchange reserves have evaporated $300 billion, and continue to evaporate, and what is worse is that due to the appreciation of the RMB, the cost of China's export products has increased, which has dealt a heavy blow to China's exports.

At the same time, after the United States successively attacked Iraq and imposed an economic blockade on Iran, the situation in the Middle East suddenly became tense, and the price of oil rose by leaps and bounds.

The rapid development of China's economy requires a large amount of imported crude oil, and the soaring price of crude oil has caused the cost of China's manufacturing industry to rise sharply, the international competitiveness of commodities has dropped sharply, and exports have been seriously damaged.

The accumulation of these things has caused huge turmoil in China's domestic economy and public opinion, which has caused a shock at the grassroots level in China, and public discontent has become more and more boiling.

But to plunge this large and cohesive country into complete turmoil, it will take a powder keg that can detonate this catastrophe.

It can be the defeat of a war, an unequal treaty, or a mass riot within the country......

Finally, on March 14, radical religious elements who had been planning for a long time in a Tibetan area organized a horrific smashing, looting, and burning incident, killing 18 people and injuring 382 others.

What the organizers behind the scenes did not expect was that when the impact of this incident was about to expand indefinitely, the Chinese government would use the most powerful means to quell the riots in just a few days......

At this time, the European and American media, all **n, BBC, and Time magazine, reported on the bloody suppression of the "democratic revolution" in China by the government!

Photos of various squadrons suppressing so-called "peaceful democrats" in Tibetan areas have been rendered in the media.

All of a sudden, China, which was already in turmoil at home, was protested and slandered by almost all developed countries in the world.

The European and US heads of state have stated that they will boycott the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who was originally scheduled to attend the Olympics, canceled the formation and declared: "The Chinese government has a good talk with Dalai, and I will consider going to Beijing to participate in the Olympics." ”

Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek wore a symbol of the "Funeral Flag" on his suit at a press conference.

Even US President Barack Obama made a public statement: "If the human rights situation in Chinese does not improve, if Dallley does not think that there is improvement, I will not go to the Beijing Olympics." ”

The Times claimed that the Beijing Olympics were held for the same purpose as the Nazi Games in Germany in 1936, which was to boast about themselves. The report even drew parallels between contemporary China and Hitler's Germany.

The storm of world public opinion, which is overwhelmingly coming towards China, seems to be all coincidence, and everything seems to be premeditated...... China is struggling to deal with domestic and international pressures.

And when the Beijing Olympic torch relay arrived in Europe on April 1, the Olympic torch relay, which had been quiet, also had an accident, and under the hype of the Western mainstream media, a large-scale "violent protest" against China broke out in Europe.

In London, thousands of people stormed the Olympic torch relay procession, countless threw cans, coins, political opportunists at the torchbearers, and even jumped on the terrace of the Trafalgar Square fountain to attract the cameras of television reporters.

The originally sacred torchbearer was thrown with debris like a rat crossing the street, running out of the trip in embarrassment......

Even during the relay, there were "burial independence elements" who tried to break through the railing and snatch the Olympic torch.

At Los Angeles Airport, Gu Xiaofan, who had just gotten off the plane, was walking to the terminal with empty hands, and Liu Shishi next to him was calling the employee they had hired in California.

Gu Xiaofan looked up at the sky, it was almost evening, he was still in Yanjing in the morning, and then took a plane for nearly ten hours to come to this city of angels.

He took a deep breath of California air, looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the airport, and thought to himself that this was the legendary mecca of movies.

Three days later, the torch relay in San Francisco, and the next two days, he will make an appointment with Warner to discuss a collaboration with The Dark Knight.

Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but smile, he would be busy in the next few days, if he could negotiate with Warner, show his face after the torch relay, and win another Academy Award, his life would be too perfect~~

At this time, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang. Gu Xiaofan took it out and looked at it, it was actually Gao Yuanyuan calling, and as he walked, he connected the call and said with a smile:

"Hey, Sister Yuanyuan, what's wrong? I was in Los Angeles and had just gotten off the plane. ”

"I just wanted to tell you about the torch relay after that...... What the?! Are you in Los Angeles now? Gao Yuanyuan over there shouted in surprise, and immediately asked again:

"Director Gu Da, what are you doing in Los Angeles?"

Gu Xiaofan squinted at the white blonde girl with huge breasts who passed in front of him, and said with a smile:

"What else can I do, talk about business, I have something to do with Sister Shi to find Warner." Gao Yuanyuan ignored his later words, but asked, "With Liu Shishi?" ”

"Yes, her English is good now, she can be my translator." Gu Xiaofan said to his mobile phone.

This time, they just came to have a simple contact, and they didn't need to talk too much about the issues, but just had a preliminary understanding with Warner to see where the general conditions of the two sides were.

After the two parties put forward the conditions, they will slowly discuss after they go back, and if it goes well, he can get "The Dark Knight" through Warner, and even persuade the stubborn old George Martin to let him hand over the adaptation rights of "A Song of Ice and Fire".

Gu Xiaofan felt in a good mood just thinking about it, and his dream of being a Hollywood actor seemed to be just around the corner.

"Director Gu, wait, I'll rush to Los Angeles to meet you immediately, I'm afraid that something will happen to you at this torch relay ceremony."

Gao Yuanyuan's voice seemed a little worried, and Gu Xiaofan suddenly stopped in amazement: "You? Come to me? ”

He thought about it, who knows what stimulated her, could it be that this she-fox misses me? Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but recall that sweet and warm day in her heart, as if she was not bad......

No, no...... I'm here to get busy with business this time, not to go on vacation, Gu Xiaofan struggled for a while before he came to his senses, and said into the phone:

"No need Sister Yuanyuan, it's useless for you to come, my room was arranged by the Olympic Committee, and you can't get in......"

Yanjing, in a beautiful and elegant room, Gao Yuanyuan was frowning, tapping the notebook keyboard with his hand, and said:

"Director Gu, do you think I came all the way to date you? I'm worried that something is wrong with you, do you have a computer at hand, connect to the Internet quickly, and watch today's news! ”
