The night was like ink, the wind was fierce, and the rain was pouring down.

In a small restaurant in Macau, Sun Ziming drank a little wine while telling his more than ten years of mental journey to the brother Guangzai. There are many things that the two of them have experienced together, and there are also many things that he doesn't know.

"At the beginning, our three brothers wanted to make money and make our family live well, but we didn't think about what to do. Many times, the third brother and Xiao Qi couldn't believe that making money would be so simple. We made money and went home for the first time for the New Year, and Xiao Qi and the third brother also stuffed the money in the crotch of their pants, for fear that someone would steal .......

When I came to Hong Kong to develop, I thought that I would succeed, but I didn't expect that the environment was more sinister than I imagined, and I was almost killed by you. ”

Hearing this, Guang Zai poured a glass of wine for the two of them, and said fearfully: "If you hadn't treated me as a friend at that time, maybe I would have stabbed me with that knife." I hung you up, the third brother will definitely come over, I killed my brother's brother, what can I do? The 500,000 bonus is to buy your life, and it is clearly to buy the lives of the two of us. ”

Sun Ziming, who was already a little drunk, patted Guangzai's shoulder and said with emotion: "So, we are destined to be brothers by nature!" You know what happened after that, you followed me.

Then I'll tell you about it after you're gone.

Guozhong and my third brother ransacked the Soviet Union, and the money we made was so big! Let's put it this way, if we announced the property situation at that time, the three of us would be the richest people in China! Compared to us, the Li family is a fart! Without that kind of confidence, I would dare to argue with the Li family and snipe them everywhere?

…… In '91, we voted again in Japan, and later in Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. It is not a boast to say that now our Far Eastern Group may be worse than a century-old consortium such as Rothschild, Rockefeller, and Morgan in terms of assets, but it can definitely rank among the top 30 in the world.

I dare to say that as long as we are given another ten years, maybe our Far Eastern Group will become one of the top five super conglomerates in the world! ”

Sun Ziming's proud narration made Zhang Jinhai next to him smack his tongue, and also made Guangzai and Wang Zhongsheng, people with higher IQs than them, understand the meaning of these words a little.

With money earned at this point, coupled with huge social prestige, perhaps Sun Ziming's pursuit is different from ordinary people. If you think about it further, compared to their practices, maybe they themselves don't want to control the 'Freemasonry' in the future, but they can't do it if they don't.

That's right, Sun Ziming, or Sun Ziming's group, has made them in a dilemma with the huge risks brought by their huge wealth, that is, 'the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty'.

The Far Eastern Group's business spread to China, Russia, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and Sun Ziming's personal industry extended to the United States, but they had a fatal weakness -- they did not have a political force that really belonged to them. The political forces owned by the Far Eastern Group are actually someone else's, and all they have is connections!

China, Russia, and South Korea are all centralized countries, and in a sense, the economy is to serve the government. At present, the main task of these three countries is development, so they are very good for their Far Eastern group, but if their existence threatens the interests of the country and the government, it will be followed by repression, and even the crime of wanting to add to it. Therefore, Sun Ziming Group will donate a large amount of wealth, wanting to avoid disasters with huge social prestige, and there are also elements of political statements.

If the Far Eastern Group had not risen so quickly, in another twenty or thirty years, when Zhang Tao or Vasily had grown up and become the spokesperson of the Far Eastern Group in the political arena of various countries, Sun Ziming and they might not be so anxious. However, the speed of development of the Far Eastern Group was not expected even by Sun Ziming, the helmsman.

In other words, he, a person who had spent his whole life in his previous life, did not have such a long-term plan from the beginning, but instinctively grabbed wealth quickly according to his own memory, and forgot that mastering wealth must be matched with strength.

Among the Guangzai and their gang, Wang Zhongsheng was the smartest, and after thinking for a while, he hesitated and said, "Brother Ming, you mean, you are afraid?" ”

Sun Ziming smiled bitterly, but patted Guangzai's shoulder and said emotionally: "Guangzai, do you understand?" It's not my brother who wants you now, but without you, we will be in danger. If you think about it, a consortium with assets of hundreds of billions of dollars, but without the strength to make people feel jealous, will be a child walking in the downtown with gold in his arms! ”

These words fell on Guangzai's ears, and some of them made him dazed, but when they fell into Wang Zhongsheng's ears, he was puzzled. At the beginning, he made a special trip to the United States to be a villain, just to let Sun Ziming come forward to be the standard-bearer and unite overseas Chinese, why did he change from refusal to initiative after such a short period of time?

"Hey", Sun Ziming sighed and said in a deep voice: "The scene you made in Indonesia stimulated us and made us reflect a lot. If you have money and no power, sooner or later you will be meat on other people's chopping boards, and it is better for us to tie our own safety to the hands of others! ”

Guangzai didn't know much about political economics, but Wang Zhongsheng had studied it specially, so he immediately asked: "Brother Ming, if you promote the integration of the Far East, can't you still give you political protection?" ”

Yang Guozhong, who had already eaten, finally answered, and said helplessly: "Cheng is also Xiao He is also Xiao He, Xiao He is also defeated, Ziming and I both made a fatal mistake, only saw the benefits of Far Eastern integration, but forgot the harm." ”

Wang Zhongsheng felt that his brains were not enough, and the integration of the Far East would allow China, Russia, and South Korea to gain huge benefits from it, so how could it be harmful?

"Do you know what currency is used to settle trade in the Far East?"

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Zhongsheng hesitated: "RMB? ”

"Yes, it's in RMB! The development of China in recent years has been too fast, at the beginning we used US dollars to settle, and now we are starting to use RMB, otherwise we will not be able to digest those RMB at all, and the domestic finance will not be able to provide so many US dollars to huàn. ”

Wang Zhongsheng was shocked that the renminbi is not an international reserve currency, and it is not even possible to exchange it freely. If the Russian Far East uses RMB for settlement, it means that those RMB outflows from China need Russians to import domestic products and send them back to China in order to form a trade process.

In other words, the Russians are trading their minerals for Chinese industrial goods, and incidentally destroying their own fragile civilian industrial system. This kind of trade relationship may be fine in the short term, but in the long run, it is equivalent to maintaining Russia's economic security on the Chinese. And this kind of economic dependence is beyond the control of the Russians, because they cannot find cheaper goods than those made in China to meet the living needs of nearly 200 million people, at least until the prices of minerals and energy have risen sharply, they can only let it go.

Now that China's economy has begun to develop rapidly, India is also catching up, and the international energy market has already shown signs of rising prices. Once Russia relies on oil resources and extricates itself from its economic difficulties, it will have more money to buy European and American products of better quality, albeit at a higher price, and get rid of the current situation of relying on the Far Eastern bloc. Isn't the integration of the Far East, which was promoted by the Far Eastern Group at that time, become a pillow of yellow sorghum? If Russia no longer needs China's low-cost and inferior industrial products, the powerful Far Eastern bloc will inevitably become fat in the eyes of the governments of both sides.

A centralized state is always a strong and weak branch, and it is impossible to allow the strength of a consortium to shake the stability of the country or even its security, unless it is a state-owned enterprise.

"Got it? People in the rivers and lakes, involuntarily, not only for the rivers and lakes, but also for politics! Our wealth can no longer remain in the Far East, it has to be transferred, and if we don't have overseas political forces ourselves, where do we dare to transfer it? ”

Having said that, Guang Zai completely understood that if the 'Chinese Freemasonry' could not become a vassal of the Far Eastern Group in the future, then they would have to do it themselves, create a similar political organization, and use it as a protective umbrella for themselves. With their economic strength, the newly formed political organizations will easily wipe out the elite of overseas Chinese, leaving only a large number of low-level people for the 'Chinese Freemasonry'.

Without the participation of social elites, how would the 'Chinese Freemasonry' that they were planning to establish develop and grow?

After being silent for a long time, Guangzai smiled bitterly, he wanted to be independent, and he didn't want to become a vassal of anyone. went around in a big circle, but still returned to the original point, and he still had to become someone else's vassal.

Sun Ziming was also very helpless about this, and if it was possible, he didn't want to make up these nonsense. However, Xingtian Society is a monster that he and Yang Guozhong made by mistake, and it has begun to embark on the road of blood, and it should be up to them to end it now, and remove the blood from its body, so as not to cause a river of blood again in the future.

After smiling bitterly for a while, Guang Zai stared at Sun Ziming's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ming, can you give me a charter?" ”

There are some words that Sun Ziming is not good at picking naked/naked, but Yang Guozhong can, and he has more right to speak.

"No food, no troops, in the past few years, if you Xingtian Society didn't have our financial support, you alone would not have been able to develop so rapidly.

Don't look at the Chinese in Indonesia who seem to be very rich, in fact, the rich are always a very small minority, and those who have no money are the majority. Without our leadership, what would you do to keep Freemasonry running? ”

The words 'no food, no soldiers' poked at Guangzai's sore spot, and the soldiers of the Xingtian Society were strong and strong, and they were smashed out with lofty slogans and massive funds. The slogan can only give people temporary passion, there is no economic security, no matter how enthusiastic people are, they will be sober and finally face reality.

The out-of-the-way business engaged in by the gangster organization is indeed very profitable, but the money is earned by everyone, and it is also to be distributed to everyone. In the past few years, without the support of the Far Eastern Group, how could Xingtian Society have the strength to support thousands of off-duty helpers, and strike a thunderous blow in Indonesia at a critical moment?

The helplessness of reality made Guang Zai sigh gloomily, and Yang Guozhong also took advantage of the situation to add two sentences, "Guang Zai, everyone is still young now, and they can fight and fight, what about the future?" When you are a big man, should you give others a future? ”

The two sentences that Yang Guozhong added at the end moved Zhang Jinhai and Lu Guisheng, and also made Wang Zhongsheng, who had always felt that something was wrong, close his mouth and wanted to refute.
