After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the last century, the United States became the world's only superpower, and the developed United States was hailed as the banner of a "free country" in terms of economy and military, including culture and politics, and every ordinary American also thinks so.
In the 21 st century, the world has entered the information age, and relying on the power of science and technology, the United States has further strengthened its national strength. This can be seen from the wealth owned by the United States alone, and most of the world's richest people are Americans, not including those consortia and companies with assets of more than hundreds of billions of dollars.
The most famous rich man is, of course, Bill, who once occupied the richest man in the world. Gates up, Bill. Gates took a break from college to found Microsoft with a friend, and thus became the richest man in the world from an ordinary young man, and his legendary experience has been admired and regarded as an idol by countless young people. But in fact, although these so-called rich people, although their names are on the rich list, very few people know that in fact, the real rich people, or those who can really control the top of the country in secret, are invisible in front of the world.
Ramon. Anthony is such a hidden figure, few people in the outside world know that he is a person, but in the eyes of some people, Raymond. Anthony is undoubtedly a "big man", in the United States, of course, the president of the United States is a big man, but don't forget that the president has a term, when the term of office is over, the president of the United States becomes the "former president", and his influence is only limited to a small range, not to mention that during the presidential term, as the president of the United States, he is not free to do what he wants, and he can decide everything by himself, because every president often has a huge think tank behind him, including advisers and experts in all aspects, in many ways, decisions or orders issued in the name of the president of the United States, It was all from these advisers behind him, and in this sense, the president of the United States was just a representative on the table.
But Raymond. Anthony is different, his influence is not at all comparable to ordinary rich people, whether it is in the two major parties that take turns in power or in other forces, the relationship between the Anthony family can be described as intertwined, and its power has long been spread everywhere after a hundred years of operation, not only can influence the changes in the political situation in the United States, but also directly affect the decision-making of the current president through guò means.
As for wealth, the Anthony family is even richer than the country, and the wealth in their hands is far from being comparable to those who are nominally richest people. Anthony is the head of the Anthony family, a well-deserved leader, and one of the few people who stand at the top of the pyramid.
On the outskirts of Little Rock, there is a ranch that few people know about, and this is Raymond. Anthony's abode. The ranch is not very large, much smaller than the large ranches that cover an area, and because of its remote location, not many people pay attention to it.
Wearing a cowboy hat, Raymond. Anthony rode his horse as usual in his own pasture, behind the horse, his dog Damon followed, sticking out his tongue and running around happily, it seems, perennial outdoor sports, a little dark-skinned Raymond. Anthony is like an ordinary old cowboy, and no one would know that this inconspicuous old man has the power to influence the whole of America.
At the end of an hour of exercise, Raymond. Anthony personally led the horse into the stable, unsaddled and brushed, and did all the work meticulously, and when he was done, he patted the horse on the back with a smile, said hello to his "old friend", and then walked out of the stable.
Not far from the stables is Raymond. Anthony's home, this is a small western-style building that looks similar to the house where ordinary Americans live, but when you walk inside, you can see the difference, not only the high-tech facilities in the house are extremely perfect, but also there are quite cutting-edge defense settings inside and outside the house, if there is an uninvited guest entering the ranch, it can be detected at the first time, and a team of heavily armed guards stationed only 20 meters away will immediately respond quickly.
"Sir, the tea is ready."
The old butler stood at the door with a smile to greet Raymond. Anthony came back and whispered at the same time.
"Thanks, Brooke." Ramon. Anthony smiled and nodded to the old butler.
"That's what I'm supposed to do, sir." Brooke replied with a smile, although the words had been repeated countless times between them, since he came here 20 years ago until today, in Brooke's eyes, Raymond . Anthony is a gentleman through and through.
Hand Damon to Brooke, Raymond. Anthony took off his cowboy hat and walked into the room, where the freshly brewed black tea was already in front of the wooden chair he was accustomed to sitting on, with a few newspapers beside it.
Hang the cowboy hat on the wall, Raymond. Anthony sat down in a wooden chair, took a sip of black tea, raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, as if admiring Brooke's good work, and then took a newspaper and flipped through it.
The newspapers are nothing more than the news about Wall Street, government decisions, or where there has been a car accident or a shooting, and there is a riot or even a war in a certain country or place abroad. Ramon. Anthony flipped through the lines and chuckled when he saw something interesting.
Flip to the back, and there is a crossword puzzle in the newspaper. Anthony even took a pen and played a crossword puzzle with great interest. This habit was developed in his youth, and it has not changed over the years.
Just Raymond. Anthony filled in a few words with great interest, and the slight vibration of his wrist made him stop what he was doing, and he glanced at the special watch on his wrist. Anthony stood up and went straight upstairs.
When I got to the third floor, I pressed my palm against a wall, and soon there was a reaction on the wall, revealing a window-sized scanning device. Anthony leaned his head over, and when the iris scan was complete, the entire wall moved silently to the side.
Behind the wall is a small room, here is Raymond. The most important place for Anthony is that even the old butler Brooke is not allowed to come in except for him. When he walked into the room, the wall behind him closed at the same time, and if he didn't know that there was a room, it would be difficult to see with the naked eye that this wall would be an alloy door that even explosives couldn't blast.
"Agent Galen?"
Sitting down on a chair, the screen in front of him lit up, and Galen's figure soon appeared in Raymond. Anthony's in front of him.
"Mr. Anthony." Galen said with a flattering smile.
"What's the matter with me in such a hurry?" Ramon. Anthony asked with a calm expression.
"That's good news." Galen's respectful expression had a hint of smugness that could not be concealed, and he said with a smile: "I have convinced Kevin. Professor Adams served the Zeus Project. ”
Ramon. Anthony showed a slight surprise and continued to ask calmly, "I remember that you only talked to him today, and the result was so soon?" ”
"You're right." Galen nodded and said, "We actually overestimate Professor Adams, he is just an ordinary scholar, and for such a person, as long as he gives some benefits, he can solve the problem." ”
"Interests?"
"Status, wealth, fame, a sense of respect, plus a sense of mission to save America's security and promote the progress of human civilization...... As an aspiring scholar, don't you want all of this? Galen explained with a smile.
Ramon. Anthony immediately burst out laughing, Galen was right, it was true that these things were desirable to ordinary people, let alone an ordinary scholar. Before Raymond for Kevin's persuasion strategy due to the importance of the plan. Anthony was more cautious, mainly worried about Kevin's inner resistance and his lack of cooperation, but he didn't expect Galen to solve the problem easily. Although he didn't know what promises Galen made to Kevin, and how he persuaded him, these were for Raymond. It doesn't really matter to Anthony, what matters is that he sees the results he wants.
"Well done!" Ramon. Anthony did not hide his praise for Galen, which made Galen on the other end of the screen happy, he knew very well that Raymond . What kind of big man Anthony is, to be able to get his appreciation, this is an opportunity that many people dream of.
"Let's take the next step, you should understand how to do it." Ramon. Anthony tapped his fingers on the edge of the table and continued.
"Mr. Anthony, please rest assured, the Qiē plan will be carried out as much as possible, and I will keep you informed of the progress." Galen replied respectfully, and then in Raymond. Anthony disappeared from the screen as he ended the call.
End the call, Raymond. The joy on Anthony's face was palpable, and he even felt that he hadn't been so happy and looking forward to it for a long time. Professor Adams' cooperation made it possible for his Zeus project to finally come to fruition, and this Zeus plan would be built for Raymond. Anthony brings unprecedented benefits.
This interest is not an ordinary interest, but the continuation of his life. Although 70's Raymond. Anthony is in good health, and in the words of doctors, it is possible for him to live to be 100 years old. However, as he grew older, he became more and more old. Anthony was well aware that he was running out of time.
Even if Raymond. Anthony has wealth, status, and influence beyond the reach of ordinary people, but he can't escape the call of death after all. In human history, there have been countless emperors who have pursued the eternity of life, from the pharaohs of ancient Egypt to Qin Shi Huang in the Far East, each of whom wanted to avoid the end of life, but in the end they turned into a handful of dust in the infinite attachment to power and wealth.
And now, Raymond. Anthony also felt the same urgency and hope of these emperors, but no matter how much he tried to delay the arrival of this day, he still could not stop the passage of time. However, Kevin. Professor Adams' presence gave him a glimmer of hope, or rather the possibility of his own life going on.
