On a midsummer night in Hong Kong, although the bright lights and flickering neon lights obscure the moonlight and starlight, it brings prosperity to the city.

Outside the luxurious suite at the Sheraton Hotel, James had recovered from the initial shock and regained his usual composure. If he didn't have this determination, he would have been a high-ranking official in Hong Kong for more than ten years, although this news is indeed very appalling. Helen, who was standing behind the window screen and listening, even though she still felt incredible in her heart, also accepted the reality that she was wrestling with the richest man in the world, although the richest man in the world was still only on paper, far from being the richest man in substance.

Li Erwen, who studied in the UK, also knows that the Forbes list is actually a product of entertaining the public, just like he called Sun Ziming the richest man in the world. In the well-known list of the so-called rich, you will not find the "invisible super-rich" figures, because they have long been tightly controlled by the major Western media. If you want to say that the real richest man in the world, I'm afraid no one knows who it will be, but it will definitely not be Sun Ziming, let alone Bill, who has been at the top of the list for four years.

Because when he came, Sun Ziming said in front of him, I am afraid that Helen, who must be hiding in the bedroom and listening, will have quite a terrifying wealth in her hands. Nearly 400 years have passed since the Age of Discovery, and how much wealth has been accumulated by those ancient families who have experienced the explosive growth of wealth such as the Great Voyage and the Industrial Revolution and have been inherited in Europe for hundreds of years? Perhaps only they know, because the modern financial system was built by them and controlled by them.

After taking a sip of Lafite, which has the characteristic astringency of grapes, Li Erwen pointed to the note paper on the coffee table and continued: "James, we all know this thing, maybe it can only be on Forbes, but what does it mean behind it?"

You're an English aristocrat, so you've definitely heard of Leo-Wan-ta, right? I've heard that it was this Leo Wanta who commanded the U.S. government's financial warfare experts to ransack the entire Soviet Union, but I want to tell you that there was also a group of people who ransacked the Soviet Union, but the results were not as great as his. (It is said that this person presided over the 'Great Ruble Scam', colluded with corrupt bureaucrats in the former Soviet Union, looted the national wealth of the former Soviet Union, and was also one of the masterminds behind the 'shock therapy' of the former Soviet Union)

Li Erwen told him what he had just heard from Sun Ziming, and it was well-founded.

James on the balcony was silent, but there was a storm in his heart, he really didn't know about it, not even his wife. However, if the other party can use this as a bargaining chip, it must be true! And there is an iron law, inflation cannot make wealth disappear, it can only make wealth transfer. Where did most of the seventy years of wealth accumulation in the USSR go, except for being divided among their bureaucrats? How did the wealth of the Soviets disappear within the territory without the cooperation of the financial institutions behind the scenes?

However, he was able to keep his composure on his face and understood the subtext of Evan Lee's subtext: if the two sides were to get to the point of rupture, the other side would announce Leo Vantaa's deposit, putting the U.S. government at risk of collapse and a liquidity crisis in the world financial system, forcing the U.S. government to turn against BP. Anyway, if the other party is ruined, his assets in the United States will inevitably be lost, and he will have no obligation to keep those secrets, because his remaining assets are in East Asia, and this is his base camp, and there are no Western forces that can threaten the safety of his property!

What is even more frightening is that Chinese mainland's finance is highly regulated, and even if there is a crisis in the Western financial system, it will have limited impact on its domestic stability, but may become one of the long-term beneficiaries.

After a moment of silence, James suddenly laughed and sneered, "Evan, you take me for a fool? Or is there something wrong with your head?

Ok, let's say everything you've heard is true.

If he really goes that far, what can he leave behind? This is an open and collaborative world, and without the financial system dominated by Europe and the United States, will China be able to dominate the world? ”

Li Erwen didn't mind James's taunt, poured another half glass of red wine, and poured some for the other party.

"No, James, although you have worked in Hong Kong for more than ten years, you don't know that there is a famous saying - 'When we die, there will be a flood of water', and after our translation, it has become: 'When I die, it will be a flood'.

You have stepped on each other's red lines, their country is a centralized society, and there is a precedent for the state to seize private wealth at will.

They are desperately doing charity, in addition to their ideals, and more importantly, they are making a statement. You also have to note that they've been diversifying, and they're actually diversifying their risk. If what you expect happens, unless no one touches them in the mainland, they will be meat on the chopping block. What will they do, you say? ”

James and Helen were shocked, this is very likely to happen! If the Western world finds Sun Tzu guilty, it will give mainland conservatives enough reason to nationalize those mega-corporations and make them part of state-owned assets. If it were to be its own, it would also consider preemptively announcing the 'Great Ruble Scam'.

However, Leo Wan is in the service of the U.S. government, and the huge amount of money under his management is, legally, of course, owned by all the American people behind the U.S. government. Since it is owned by the American people, it must be returned to the hands of the American people, and to the hands of the American people, the steward of the American people, the United States government.

So what happens?

The money has long been pledged and cross-pledged by financial institutions, and the recall of these assets will force a liquidity crisis in many world-renowned banking institutions, triggering a global financial tsunami. What is even more serious is that in the face of trillions of wealth, it is impossible for the US government and the forces behind it to regard this huge amount of overseas money, which is not recorded in any official US accounts, as the entire American people, but only as a "small treasury" that can be used at will.

So, if Leo Wan'ta and the 'Great Ruble Scam' really exist, it's a nuclear bomb that could bring down the U.S. government. And Sun Tzu dared to use this as a bargaining chip, and he must have conclusive evidence, because they have great influence in Russia, and it is impossible not to get the evidence of collusion between the two sides.

Whoever debunks this secret is an enemy of the U.S. government! And the first to bear the brunt is Sun Ziming, followed by Helen and James and his wife. Sun Ziming fled back to Chinese mainland, and as long as he is willing to hand over his property, he will definitely be able to get the protection of the state and live incognito, and no matter how angry the US government is, there is nothing he can do with them. However, Helen and James will definitely be scapegoats and bear everyone's wrath alone!

Of course, if James was so easily intimidated, he would not have been a secret service chief in Hong Kong for more than ten years.

"Evan, I want to ask, is there any media willing to publish this story of the other party?"

Li Evan also shook his wine glass, smelled the refreshing aroma of wine, shook his head and said, "James, your professional sensitivity has been greatly reduced. Don't forget, they have the Chinese Freemasonry in their hands, and even if the US government forces it to dissolve, it will not change the fact that the other party is a Chinese national hero.

A national hero is always more credible than a government, let alone a hero who is suddenly and forcefully suppressed by the U.S. government. The mouths of tens of millions of people can't be stopped, haven't you felt the power of word of mouth? ”

After speaking, Li Erwen drank the blood-red wine in the wine glass and repeated Sun Ziming's original words: "Of course, no one wants to see such a thing happen. The best option for the other side is to go to Washington and meet his friend, Mr. Clinton, before you launch.

President Clinton is a wise man who will know how to deal with this. ”
