722.Chapter 722: Don't Let Me Down
Because of the death of the previous heir, the elder Wallace was extremely sad, and at the same time realized the importance of the safety of his family's life, so he sent Tory Wallace, who was only fifteen years old at the time, to study in France. "Words, feelings, first, http://www.Klxsw.com
www.Klxsw.com fifteen-year-old Tory Wallace spent eight years in Europe. Eight years later, he returned to the United States and began to officially help the family with things. Until today.
All the people who saw Tolly at first sight? When Wallace was in the time, it was absolutely impossible to guess that he would be the boss of a well-known underworld force. Or, in a sense, Tory Wallace has moved away from the traditional notion of a "triad boss."
Fluent in French and German, and with a little knowledge of Latin, as well as a master's degree in economics and a bachelor's degree in financial management, he would have been a businessman, a well-known young talent, if he had not been born in Wallace's family. I don't know why, but when the Yuan brothers and sisters told me about these materials about Tory Wallace, I couldn't help but think of Lin Lan. The two of them are very similar, with amazing intelligence and an astonishing resume. Slightly different, this is a male version of Lin Lan.
The meeting place was decided to be in a very small café. This café is the property of Tang Cheng Jiang, and when I walked into the café at the back of Tang Cheng Jiang, I immediately saw Tory Wallace. It was not the same as the scene I imagined when the bodyguard Rulin was around, he didn't bring any entourage, just sat there alone.
He sat in one of the innermost chairs and drank his coffee, and though he was just sitting there casually, dressed and behaved casually, I could tell at a glance that this man must be Tory Wallace.
Unlike what I had imagined, Tory Wallace looked very pale, even a sickly pale. His face was thin, but his eyes were unusually attentive, and he looked at me with a gentle smile on his lips, and then stood up to shake my hand. His fingers are very slender and his nails are unusually well-trimmed. For some reason, I couldn't help but look at every detail of his appearance in great detail.
I have to admit that this is a very charismatic person who seems to have been born to attract attention. Such a person should be very suitable to be a leader.
"Hello, you must be Mr. Yin Ran." Tory Wallace smiled softly and had an unusually pleasant voice. His every one seemed suave, and he couldn't tell that they were bent on killing me just an hour ago.
"I am. You must be Mr. Tory Wallace. "I smile and try to look as calm as I can. Tory Wallace seems to have an inexplicable temperament that always makes those who are close to him can't help but look at him with a posture of looking up.
Tory Wallace smiled and said, "Sit down, do you need a drink?" After a pause, he deliberately joked: "But I don't want to drink the coffee here, God, Tang Chengjiang, the coffee in your shop is too bad." ”
Tang Chengjiang smiled dryly, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
"Thank you." I nodded and said, "But I don't drink much coffee in the first place, and we Chinese prefer tea." It's a tradition. I'm sure Mr. Tang Chengjiang must have some treasured tea. ”
Tang Chengjiang glanced at me, and then went to the back and asked someone to get me a cup of tea. Immediately, Tory Wallace smiled faintly, waved his hand as if he was very casual, and smiled at Tang Chengjiang: "Tang, do you mind letting the two of us stay alone for a while?" I think Mr. Yin Ran must have a lot to say to me. ”
I noticed a very strange phenomenon. The more amiable and approachable Tory Wallace looked, the more respectful the expression on Tang Chengjiang's face became. It seems that every move and gesture of Tory Wallace will make people feel his unique personal charm. Including his voice, smile, eyes, movements, and his momentum.
"Alright, Mr. Yin Ran." After the people around me walked away, Tory Wallace looked into my eyes and said lightly as if he was careless: "I heard that you have some ideas that you want to communicate with our family, now you can tell me your thoughts first." ”
Frankly, I feel a little uncomfortable.
This Tory Wallace looked too calm, and he kept pressing me with his momentum, so that I unconsciously had to follow his rhythm. Now he asks me questions so casually, and although his attitude still seems polite, this politeness makes me very uncomfortable. How so? This is the kind of politeness of a benevolent master to his own minions.
I took a deep breath, then looked up at his face, and was silent for a moment before I said slowly, "Actually, I do have something I want to ask the Wallace family. What I'd love to know is that I don't remember having a holiday with the Wallaces before. But there seems to have been some misunderstanding between us lately. ”
"Nope." Tory Wallace smiled lightly, showed a row of neat teeth, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yin Ran." There was no holiday between our family and you before, but it was just an agreement between us and a friend that caused the current situation. ”
"Yes, I know, it's Guan Qiang." I nodded, and said nonchalantly.
"Look, Mr. Yin Ran." Tory Wallace laughed, "Now that everything is clear, I don't think there's any need for us to waste time." You can't just ask me why we killed you, right? ”
I shook my head and said, "Of course I didn't want to ask that. This world is the world of the strong, and you are now ruthlessly strong, and when you want to kill me, you will naturally have your reasons. This world is to rely on strength to speak, my strength is not as good as others, if I am eaten, then it is also a matter of course, there is nothing fair at all. ”
"You're a smart man, Mr. Yin Ran." Wallace laughed, "So, I want to ask you, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?" ”
"Interests." I uttered the word dryly, and then added, "It's interest, Mr. Wallace." ”
"You can call me Tolly. Mr. Wallace is generally the term by which people call my father. Tory Wallace smiled at first, then looked at me: "You said interest." What does that mean? ”
I looked at his face, slowed down my speech, and while sorting out my thoughts, I said slowly: "Tory, what benefits can you get from cooperating with Guan Qiang now?" If I'm not mistaken, the only benefit Guan Qiang can give you is. He can provide you with a legitimate channel for money laundering, right? He can provide you with some investment channels of Company K, help you transfer the black money in your hand back and forth in the investment market a few times, and then launder the black money. I think that's the only benefit Guan Qiang can offer you. Really? ”
Surprisingly, I thought Tolly Wallace would implicitly not answer my question, or refuse to respond. After all, this is a secret agreement between them and Guan Qiang. But Tory Wallace only laughed a little, and then admitted very dryly, "Yes." You're absolutely right about these things. In exchange for Mr. Guan Qiang's cooperation with us, we will inject a considerable amount of capital into one of the following investment projects of Company K. You also know that forces like our family are no longer short of money, and all we need is to find a way to turn black money into white. ”
I smiled and said, "That's right, that's why I came to you to cooperate." After a pause, I added, "Do you know the history of the Steven family?" ”
Tory's eyebrows seemed to lift slightly, and a sharp gaze suddenly flashed from his eyes, but then disappeared. He smiled mildly and said, "Of course I know this. The history of the Steven family can actually be said to be the history of the United States since World War II. ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, it does." During World War II, under the leadership of the then patriarch of the family, Ross Steven, the Steven family successfully obtained several huge arms business orders from the government, and quickly amassed a huge amount of capital by making war money. In fact, not only the Steven family, but also the US government, in the early days of World War II, the United States even provided Germany with strategic materials and arms, etc., Europe was in full swing, but the US government sold arms on both sides. ”
"Mr. Yin Ran." Tory Wallace interrupted me and said lightly: "I'm not here to listen to you review history, if I'm interested in the history of the Steven family, I can go to Paul Steven of the Steven family to find out, he is a good friend of mine." ”
Then, he sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, looked at me with a cold gaze, and said indifferently: "Although many members of our family mean to kill you directly no matter what, but I myself am very interested in you, so I want to come and talk to you. I hope you don't let me down! ”
Although my words were interrupted by him, I did not show the slightest fluctuation in my feelings. I looked at him and said calmly, "So, Tolly, what is the most fundamental reason why the Steven family has succeeded so quickly?" ”
"What do you think it should be? Mr. Yin Ran. Tolly didn't take the bait as I thought, but just asked me casually.
I sighed secretly in my heart, he was really a guy who was not easy to deal with, but I still said two words very calmly: "Legal!" ”
Ignoring the pensive look in Tory Wallace's eyes, I quickly continued, "The biggest secret to the Steven family's success is legality! The Steven family was able to do the arms business so frantically at that time, and did a lot of it, because he had the most powerful support behind him. U.S. government! Because the arms business is actually the US government's business. To be precise, it is the U.S. government that is doing arms business with European countries, and the Stevens are only collaborators of the U.S. government. The biggest force in a country is, of course, his government, and the Stevens are on the side of the government, so that his business is destined to only make money and not lose money.
