Rogers came all the way, which really surprised Liu Wei. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As far as Liu Wei knew, Rogers was a very traditional Jew. Although in the investment market, as a venture capitalist on the same level as Soros, Rogers is an out-and-out gambler, but in real life, he never gambles and has no interest in gambling.
He obviously did not come to congratulate the opening of the casino.
"Mr. Liu, can we talk alone?" As he said this, Rogers turned his gaze to the gray-backed jackal sitting on the couch next to him.
Liu Wei didn't think much about it, nodded at the gray-backed jackal, and let him leave the study.
There is a security monitoring system in the study, and in the next room, the gray-backed jackal can also hear the conversation between the two.
Waiting for the gray-backed jackal to go out, Rogers spoke: "Mr. Liu, you should know that I have lived in your country for several years and have conducted in-depth research on the history and culture of your country. β
Liu Wei frowned and said, "You're talking about the mainland, right?" β
Rogers nodded and said with a smile: "In your country, there is a very famous historical story, which is about a conversation between a businessman father and son in ancient times, which mentioned things related to investment, and I believe Mr. Liu has also heard this story." As a businessman, what does Mr. Liu think of the investment methods inside? β
After a little thought, Liu Wei knew that Rogers was telling the story of LΓΌ Buwei's father and son.
This guy is really smart, and he shows his intention in such a tactful way.
"Mr. Rogers, I'm just a very ordinary businessman, and I'm not very good at investing, and I'm far from you."
"So Mr. Liu handed over a lot of assets to someone else to take care of?"
Liu Wei smiled, knowing that there was nothing to hide from Rogers.
"There's no denying that Capuya is a shrewd investor, but putting all his eggs in one basket is not what a smart investor should do."
"Mister Rogers, do you have any good suggestions?"
"As an influential figure, Mr. Liu should find a safer way out for his funds and a higher reporting rate."
Liu Wei smiled and said, "I will consider your suggestion and hope to cooperate with you." β
"So, is Mr. Liu interested in attending our party?"
Liu Wei's brow jumped a few times, knowing that this was the purpose of Rogers coming to him.
"When Mr. Liu came to the United States for development, he must have taken a fancy to the vast market and development prospects of the United States. It's just that these recent events have had an irreversible impact on the situation. As a businessman, in addition to knowing how to invest and how to operate, you also have to grasp the development trend. Mr. Liu wouldn't object to my statement, would he? β
Liu Wei smiled, still choosing to be silent.
"As an investor, if you want to make money and make a lot of money, you have to be the one who makes the rules of the market, not follow the steps of others." Rogers smiled and added, "There's no doubt that Mr. Liu has done a great job of this, better than any of us. β
"Mr. Rogers, investing is not a matter of speculation."
"You mean, I'm just guessing?"
"Either way, Mister Rogers must know that I have not done anything against the laws of your country."
"There is no doubt that as a knight of the British Empire, Mr. Liu must have a very strong sense of responsibility and will not do anything against the law. It's just that no country has perfect laws, so we can take full advantage of the loopholes in the law. β
Liu Wei smiled and waited for Rogers to continue.
"I won't speculate on Mr. Liu's intentions, but I believe that we have a wider range of room for cooperation, and it is a cooperation that is beneficial to both of us."
"For example......"
"Together, for example, we can dominate the future."
"Mr. Rogers, I don't have that much ambition."
"It's not a matter of ambition, it's that we have to, right?"
Liu Wei smiled and shook his head, Rogers is indeed a very difficult old guy to deal with.
"As businessmen, we only value interests, and in the face of interests, there are neither friends nor enemies." Seeing that Liu Wei had not been on the road, Rogers had to turn over his hole cards, "In the face of interests, we will do everything we can to win friends, not set up enemies." Mr. Liu has the ability to reach the bottom and become a well-known big man, so he should know that it is not the White House or Congress that really dominates the United States. β
"So, Mister Rogers wants to bring me into the gang."
"We welcome all those who are capable of joining us." Rogers paused for a moment and said, "Of course, there is a prerequisite. β
"What?"
"No matter what country Mr. Liu is from, since he wants to develop in the United States, he has to serve the United States. In return, we can provide Mr. Liu with the opportunity to make money, and it is an opportunity to make a lot of money, and get all kinds of help from us to achieve a bigger career. β
Although Rogers had already spoken very thoroughly, Liu Wei still pondered.
"Mr. Liu can think about my suggestion, I will stay here for two days and then go to Las Vegas. I hope to go to Little Rock with Mr. Liu. β
"Mr. Rogers, I will consider your proposal and will give you an answer as soon as possible."
Rogers nodded, and took the initiative to get up and take his leave.
When he left, the gray-backed jackal entered the study.
"Well, this old guy is tough to deal with, isn't it?"
"It's fine, but we did overlook something."
"Anyone who knows our relationship with Capua Jr. can think of our relationship with Scott." The gray-backed jackal went and poured two glasses of wine. "It's not hard for a big guy like Rogers to figure it out. The fact that he was able to come to us on his own initiative at least shows that he doesn't know who we really are. β
"Even if you don't know, you're suspicious."
"Of course, after all, we definitely have a very important purpose in secretly supporting Scott, and as a senior member of the Skull and Bones Party, Rogers will definitely suspect our motives and secretly investigate us."
"So, we should avoid this old guy?"
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided." The Greyback Jackal smiled and said, "Rogers invited you to join the Skull and Bones Party just to find out what you were up to. β
"I know, so I didn't immediately agree to come down."
"Can you refuse?"
Liu Wei smiled bitterly and said, "If you really want to refuse him, I'm afraid we will have to leave the United States tomorrow, and we will have to change our faces immediately." β
"It's good to understand, so we have no way back."
Liu Wei nodded and said, "Then, I can only agree to his invitation and go to Little Rock with him." β
"It's okay to go, you just have to be prepared."
"Ready?"
"Don't forget, the Skull and Bones are the masters of America. Rogers won't be unprepared to invite you to join the Skull Party, and even if he is civilized, he will test your loyalty. In fact, the Skull and Bones have never been open to outsiders like us. β
"What do you mean......"
"I think Rogers' motivation to get rid of you is even stronger."
"Get rid of me?" Liu Wei was taken aback, and then laughed.
"I know, you're not going to end up that easily. The problem is, if it gets to that point, we don't want to stay in the United States. The Grayback Jackal sighed and said, "This is the Feast, and Rogers has already sharpened his sword. Whether you go or not, you will face a test. β
"So, you don't have any good advice?"
"If we don't go, we won't even have the slightest chance."
Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully and said, "Even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you have to break through." β
"Not only do we have to break through, but we also have to get through the hurdles without danger, so we have to be well prepared." The gray-backed jackal's gaze stayed on Liu Wei for a few seconds before he said, "Don't expect the Skull Party to accept you, even if you become a member, it's only a superficial effort." With our status, it is impossible to become a member of the Skull Party, let alone access core secrets. Your purpose is simply to defuse the crisis and buy us some time. As long as Scott lives in the White House, even if he is surrounded by Skull and Bones people, we can get there. β
"What do you mean, we should work with the Skull Party?"
"For the Skull and Bones, it doesn't matter who is president, what matters is whether this president does what they tell them to do." The gray-backed jackal smiled and said, "Although the power of the Skull Party is very large, and it has the ability to clear the obstacles in the path of interests, and those presidents who are not very obedient have not ended well, but only as a last resort, the Skull Party will go to extremes." Judging from the current situation, if the next president encounters an accident during his term of office, at least any accident occurs before the United States takes a strategic step, it will not benefit the United States. With this, we can negotiate with the Skull and Bones Party, and even be able to work with them. The key is to get the right degree, both to let the Skeletons know that we are a powerful partner, and to convince the Skeletons that we have nothing more than money. β
Liu Wei nodded, indicating that he understood the meaning of the gray-backed jackal.
Seeing that Liu Wei understood, the gray-backed jackal said again: "Do you need me to help you arrange it?" β
"No, it's still the old rule, you're in charge of intelligence support." Liu Wei smiled and said, "Leave the peripheral affairs to Ah Long to deal with." Don't let the old wolf ginseng come in, his surname can't do this kind of meticulous work. I'll call Rogers as soon as I can and follow him to Little Rock. After arranging, let Aaron go over there and wait for me. I'm going to try to hold Rogers steady and buy us time like you said. It's just that we also have to prepare for the worst, if the matter is revealed, we have to evacuate immediately, and life is more important than anything else. β
"Let Lao Zhou deal with this matter."
"Yes, but don't keep it quiet and don't tell anyone else."
The grayback jackal nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know how to do it." β
"Also, don't tell Lao Li for the time being, and I won't report to him until I come back from Little Rock City."
The gray-backed jackal didn't ask any more, and went to find Zhou Yulong and Zhou Fen according to Liu Wei's arrangement.
Liu Wei's heart was also much heavier, because he knew that the next challenge was much greater than the trouble he encountered in Manhattan.
