Chapter 46: Under the Temptation

Jody, a middle-aged woman sitting next to Pex, is a senior psychologist, and when she heard Zhou You's answer, she had already given Zhou You a very clear judgment in her heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she wrote "calm madman", "deep", "paranoid", "don't threaten" in her handwritten notebook, and handed it to Pex.

Pexes saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, nodded slightly, raised his gaze, and asked, "But when your ideals become other people's nightmares, does it mean that your ideals have also become ambitions?" ā€

Zhou You smiled and said: "You can understand it this way, but we have to look a little broader, we have to find all the reasons for this, and put them together in order to give me an accurate comment." ā€

"So in your heart, does it mean that the nine lives of your subordinates are more precious than the two thousand lives of others?"

Zhou You asked rhetorically: "You should have also watched the movie Saving Private Ryan, so is it worth sacrificing so many people for Ryan?" I'm sorry I can't answer this question because I don't know the answer myself. ā€

Zhou You is well aware of this set of American law enforcement agencies, and they will always take everything into account if they want to deal with or win over someone. Internally, there are countless psychological questionnaires, and many of the psychological questions that Zhou You took when he was a captain came from within them.

Although they are also intrigued internally, vying for power and profit, and it is difficult to agree on decision-making. But when it comes to implementing a certain strategy, few people will hold back, and the execution is still very strong.

They didn't come to the door this time, as they had begun to say, to ask about what was happening in Africa, because they knew it very well, even better than they did when they traveled around themselves. Because Zhou You only makes decisions and asks for results, they will find out every detail clearly.

Their main purpose this time is to learn more about what kind of person Zhou You is, and then make decisions that are in line with their interests according to Zhou You's character, which is their style of doing things.

As for despicable plots such as the one carried out more than two years ago, it was a sloppy act by a small group of people who did not take the bigger picture into account. It was precisely because Zhou You didn't expect them to use such simple and low-level means that he would be recruited.

This also led to Zhou You's later revenge, which pitted the relationship between the two parties. However, he has not yet torn his face, and Zhou You is not without allies in the United States, and even the combined power of these allies is far greater than that of the CIA. It's just that they will definitely not hesitate to help Zhou You in this kind of thing, and they can't concentrate their strength, so in the face of the CIA, Zhou You is a weak person.

But this weakness is relative, and traveling around is not meat on the board, which can be tossed at will. Now Zhou You is already the richest man in the world, and has a wide influence all over the world, and there is no valid reason, even Americans dare not do it casually.

Moreover, traveling around is not an evil leader of a country, unlike Saddam, who can be punished with an excuse. He is just a businessman, and against a businessman, the United States has more concerns, although Zhou You is not a simple businessman.

It can be said that as long as Zhou Yu does not enter the United States, then the United States has nothing to do with him, otherwise, they would not have so many wanted criminals at large abroad, but they cannot do anything.

However, now, it is clearly impossible for Zhou You to give up his interests in the United States. Whether it's Google's stake, or Apple's stake, or the now thriving Facebook and Walmart and Sands' stakes. This is only an American company, and the other whiteness, Tencent, are also listed in the United States, so it is impossible for Zhou You to cut off from the United States.

Therefore, at least in terms of face, you have to go with each other. After the negotiation of cooperation is carried out, Zhou You will take a stake in a bank in the United States, and there will be more and more involved.

He was able to deal with the other side patiently today, also in order to have a better comment, at least not to let the Americans always keep their eyes on him.

When its cooperation with the Democratic Republic of the Congo begins, at that time, the United States will have more concerns about dealing with itself.

I learned this from Singapore.

At the time of Singapore's independence, the living conditions were almost terrible, and there were many conflicts with Malaysia at that time. In order to survive, the old boss put forward the famous poisonous shrimp strategy.

The real world is cruel, as the saying goes: big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, Singapore is only a few hundred square kilometers, and it will never become a big fish, or even a small fish. But Singapore can become a highly toxic shrimp, and any big fish that eats it can die as well.

Guided by this strategic approach, the small Southeast Asian nation has spent decades building one of the region's most technologically advanced and well-prepared armies. In terms of the advancement of military strength, Singapore is one of the world's five largest arms companies, and its combat effectiveness is one of the few in Asia.

In such a situation, the surrounding Malaysia and Indonesia did not dare to have any attempts against him, and there was no need for other big countries to gnaw on his hard bones, so although Singapore was rich, no one dared to fight him.

Zhou You also wants to turn himself into a poisonous shrimp, and when he fights against Indonesia's Prabo, he sets up a revenge fund, no matter who does it to him and his family, he will face a reward for activating the revenge fund.

But this bounty is useful for private organizations, not much for a country. Therefore, for his own safety, for the safety of his wealth, he must strengthen his military strength, he must have an army loyal to him, and he needs to use a military strength that is feared.

Of course, a commercial company does not have the opportunity to buy heavy weapons or missiles, fighter jets, and if he has money, no one else will be able to sell it to him.

But if you change your mindset and cooperate with a sovereign country, you can procure any weapon other than nuclear weapons in their name. When you have these weapons, these armies, and countless money to support you, the security of traveling around will be greatly improved.

Pex didn't think that he was not taken to Zhou You's heart at all, and he continued to rack his brains to use all kinds of gentle questions to spy on Zhou You's mentality.

"Mr. Zhou, when there is a war between your motherland and Singapore, which side will you stand on?"

"I never bother with things that didn't happen because there's enough for me to worry about right now."

"It's just a ......"

"Your assumption is ridiculous!"

"Okay, let's get to the practical questions. Will you feel guilty for provoking the war between Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo? ā€

"No, not at all."

"But so many people died because of you, so many people were displaced."

"Even without my presence, President dos Santos would have taken this opportunity to purge the opposition, and my incident was only an inducement, not a decisive factor. As for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the fighting is currently limited to us and the Liberation Front (FLN). ā€

"There are very good reasons for President dos Santos to join forces with your security company to clean up the fight, but why would President Kabila allow your team to enter the DRC and start a fight?" What did you pay for? ā€

Zhou You looked at him like an idiot, pointed to his head and said, "I hope you will sort out your thinking and stop asking such idiotic questions." Is there anything I need to pay to please him? It wasn't necessary, because he was begging me. He wanted me to replicate the experience of developing Colombia in the DRC and help develop the economy of a country with a per capita income of less than $200 a year. Do you know what it means to earn less than $200 a year? In fact, in many areas, many of them don't make a hundred dollars a year, less than two dollars a week, and your day's salary is their year's salary. ā€

was ridiculed by Zhou You, but he was not angry, and said with a smile: "Actually, I know very well that when I was young, I also served as a military attache in many African countries......"

Zhou You interrupted him, and turned to flatter him again. "You're not old now."

His thinking was interrupted all of a sudden, he was depressed and couldn't speak, and he couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Zhou You. He simply closed his notebook, looked at Zhou You and said with a smile: "Okay, let's get out of this boring Q&A and talk about something about reality." What are your thoughts on the leaders of the Security Front who want us to be conciliators in the middle? ā€

Zhou You laughed, picked up the coffee cup in front of him, and took a sip, but it had already turned warm. He poured out the rest of the coffee and handed it to Gracia. "Another iced coffee, the hell it's so hot."

Jody smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, the coffee you just poured out is something that many people in the DRC can't earn in a week." ā€

Zhou You laughed. "I'm not obligated to help other people's fate, and although I do a lot of charity, donating hundreds of millions of dollars a year, it's all for fame, for profit, not for someone or someone."

Taking a sip of the coffee handed over by Gracia, Zhou You said to PĆ©x: "Since you have mentioned the Liberation Front and mentioned Alsace, why don't you bring Major Larison up as well?" ā€

The smile on Pex's face froze, and the others looked at each other, wondering how much Zhou You knew. Pex quickly recovered and asked, "Mr. Zhou, who is Colonel Larrison?" I don't quite understand it. ā€

"According to my investigation, it seems that he is also a colleague of you, but since you say you don't know each other, then maybe I am mistaken, maybe he is disguised. But he is now in an upscale neighborhood in Cape Town, South Africa, which should be true. Zhou You suddenly stood up, leaned over to look at them and said, "I never wanted to be an opponent with you, so, this is also the reason why I only asked Arthas for trouble, but let him go, I hope you can understand my situation, and not be as aggressive as you are now." Otherwise, it could really lead to a complete withdrawal from the United States, and from now on I would like to oppose you. Do you really want to see that? ā€

Pex returned to a diplomatic smile. "No, that's something no one wants to see. We are well aware of Mr. Zhou's talent in business and Mr. Zhou's influence. Therefore, we have always hoped to find the best way to live in peace with Mr. Zhou. ā€

"So who is responsible for all this? Just because I rushed into the peace talks in Colombia without seeing the situation clearly, you sent me to prison by the lowest means without even a word of warning or communication. Am I really incapable of escaping? Am I really incapable of revenge? But I endured, but what did you do? Aren't you ashamed that those were nine living lives, and they were lost under your scheme? Of course, you won't, because it's all for your so-called ridiculous faith! ā€

He sat up straight and said solemnly: "Mr. Zhou, you really didn't take direct revenge, but since you left the United States, have you been less targeted at us?" In the first half of this year alone, you used your own means to make at least $10 billion at a time when we were in crisis. Because of your operation, our direct economic losses exceeded 50 billion US dollars, and the indirect losses suffered are simply incalculable. ā€

Zhou You laughed and sat down in the chair. "That's what it's really like to be open and honest, not to be hypocritical and hypocritical. Well, I admit, I did it all on purpose. I saw the bubble in the subprime bond market, and I saw that people became crazy because of the windfall profits, so when the crisis came, they used legitimate business means to earn a little profit for themselves. But do I really care about those 10 billion dollars? Do you know how much of the paper return that just Apple's stock price has risen? It's more than 10 billion dollars, and I don't have the desire to cash in on it, because money is just a number to me. I make all this money just to let you know and stop pushing me, that's all. Now, you know the pain, and the embassy in the UK has sent a signal of reconciliation, but just as I am about to accept my cooperation, you are using a shoddy plot against me, which is very puzzling to me. Why? ā€

Everyone didn't say a word, looking at Zhou You and smiling and saying harsh words. "Is it because I'm a yellow person? Is it because my business practices in South America have forced the United States out of the market, and you are afraid that Africa will become a second South America? Or is it because it's just an internal struggle among you? One side wants to win over, and the other side wants to suppress. But I don't care about that, because you know why? Because now money has lost its original meaning to me. But you are just afraid, because so much money is concentrated in the hands of one person, and the power that can burst out can make anyone fearful. ā€

"So what exactly do you value right now?" ā€

Zhou You became serious at this time, and said firmly: "Respect! Equal respect! ā€
