Chapter 359: The Tiger Falls to Pingyang (4)
Two weeks later, when Ivana came to see Bell Stone again, it was a different story.
"Mr. Zhong Shi, I brought you red wine, produced by Porto Winery!"
Ivana took off her trench coat, revealing a slim black sweater and voluptuous lines. She shook her hair, took a bottle of red wine from her attendant's hand, and shouted to Zhong Shi, who was sitting by the fire, "No matter how expensive the red wine is, I can't afford it with my salary." Drink it first, because you may not even be able to drink it later! ”
"Damn, it's so cold!"
Zhong Shi tightened his clothes, turned his head to look at the proud Ivana, and couldn't help but complain, "Do you want to freeze me to death?" It's so cold here! ”
"It's not Hong Kong, it's not that warm!"
Ivana glanced at Zhong Shi, opened the wine cork with a pop, took out two goblets from the bar, poured a few them, and handed them to Zhong Shi, "Try it to your taste, life here is definitely not as good as your in Hong Kong, but we don't have so much budget to improve your environment here, you might as well settle for it." ”
"Good wine!"
Zhong Shi took the wine glass and shook it, sniffed it again, shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "It seems that Miss Ivana has a good salary, and she can afford this level of wine, thank you very much." To be honest, my life in Hong Kong is not as good as you think, because I don't pursue it too much. Now the conditions here are good enough, except for a little cold. ”
After he finished speaking, he subconsciously wrapped the cotton clothes on his body tightly.
"Bear with me, you can change to a good place after a while!"
Regarding Zhong Shi's actions, Ivana chose to turn a blind eye, and only lightly reassured, "There is heating there." You can be guaranteed that you will not go hungry. It's a little smaller, but maybe the prison will give you something a little bigger, but I can't guarantee that it'll be more comfortable than here. ”
"Looks like you've found the evidence!"
Zhong Shi sighed, silently put down his wine glass, and stared at the other party in a daze. "Two weeks is enough time to do something."
"I'm really curious, how can you be so smart?"
Ivana was quite surprised at first, but then she showed an interested expression, stared at Zhong Shi's forehead playfully, and said slowly, "You can guess what we did every step of the way." I sometimes think that people like you are so scary, we can calculate every step we take. ”
"Isn't that obvious?"
Zhong Shi waved his hand. said helplessly, "The female prime minister wants to deal with it well, and she doesn't want to be constrained in any way, of course, she must eliminate all unexpected situations." You're quite efficient, and you can find out in two weeks, but now that you know this, do you still have the heart to deal with me? ”
"The Prime Minister's determination has not changed!"
Ivana's face darkened, "But there is one condition. That is, if you don't leak this matter out and at the same time promise not to continue to dwell on the European debt problem. That would reduce most of your sentence and give you up to three years to regain your freedom. ”
"There are also additional conditions that you will never be allowed to enter Germany. At the same time, X-Spatial Fund will permanently ban trading on exchanges in the Eurozone. That's all! ”
"That's ......"
Zhong Shi pondered for a moment, then finally looked up and asked, "Give me a name." I'm going to make sure you really know everything. ”
"Ralph. Schneider! ”
Ivana snorted lightly and muttered with some dissatisfaction, "Mr. Zhong, you don't really think that our intelligence department has nothing to do all day, do you?" In fact, for some of the issues that we are concerned about. Germany's intelligence services have never let us down, and this time was no exception. ”
"Looks like you really know everything!"
Zhong Shi let out a long sigh, but the next moment, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he stared at the other party coldly and said, "But your conditions, I still can't accept them!" ”
"Don't go too far!"
Like a cat that has been stepped on by the tail, Ivana immediately jumped up and screamed at Zhong Shi, "This is the last condition, there is no room for negotiation, otherwise we will send you to a prison that you will never get out of again, even if we fight for notoriety!" ”
In two weeks, things took a drastic turn, and all this was also in Zhong Shi's calculations.
When Ivana learned the news, she quickly reported it to the German chancellor. Regarding the chips on Zhongshi's hand, the female prime minister did not dare to be careless, and immediately instructed the intelligence department to start an investigation. After a thorough investigation, the agents quickly tracked down Ralph. Schneider's head.
Ralph. Schneider is at the helm of AbsoluteCapital in Germany. As a hedge fund with a significant reputation in the German market, it is involved in many German dignitaries. At the beginning of the European debt crisis, Paulson and others colluded with Ralph. Schneider acted as an internal response, and the two sides benefited each other and jointly earned the fortune of Europe.
As a lot of German parliamentarians "white gloves" Ralph. Schneider, during the European debt crisis, provided the United States with a lot of information about Germany's decision-making, so that the United States was able to accurately grasp the trend of the European debt crisis.
During the European debt crisis, the performance of complete capital increased instead of decreasing, rising 99.2% in the past year, from 3.5 billion euros to 6.9 billion euros at once, shocking the entire German hedge fund industry. Ralph as the one at the helm. Schneider was named the best hedge fund manager in Germany that year.
When German intelligence found out about Ralph. Schneider's head, even the female prime minister felt incredible. But then she was furious and did not hesitate to give the order to arrest her. For Ralph, who has been in the contradiction between professionalism and reality. For Schneider, being captured was a relief for him.
Soon, he got to the bottom of everything he had to know, including his illegal money management for some members of the German Parliament and his dealings with the Americans. When the materials were delivered to the desk of the German female chancellor, she experienced a lot of winds and waves, and was also shocked by the contents.
If this information gets out, then the entire German political scene will experience a major earthquake no less than a magnitude of nine. The ruling party will collapse in an instant, and this is not alarmist at all.
After much thought, the female prime minister finally reluctantly backed down. It is impossible for her to lose the ruling position of the entire party for the sake of Zhong Shi alone. While discussing with Zhong Shi here, the sweeping work over there is also being carried out in an orderly manner.
"Can't take on this responsibility?"
When Ivana offered the deal, Bell Stone understood that the German government was aware of the seriousness of the situation. Immediately sneered, "Since you all know Ralph. Schneider's name, then you should know what he has on hand. It's a pity that even if you caught him, it wouldn't help, because I hid everything he revealed to me somewhere, just in case. ”
"If something happens to me, or if I get sentenced, then these things will be delivered to the world's major news agencies. and upload to the internet. ”
Zhong Shi said coldly, "Now that the news of my imprisonment has not spread, you better make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise I don't guarantee that something will happen in the future." ”
"Now I'm hungry, bring me a steak!"
Without waiting for Ivana to say anything, Zhong Shi waved and shouted outside the door. "It's going to be medium-rare, with this red wine. It should taste good. By the way, get me some more salad. ”
A figure flashed in and looked towards Ivana. Ivana stared at Zhong Shi hatefully, and with a wave of her hand, the figure disappeared.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Ivana stared at Bell Stone viciously. The other party did not dodge, but looked back with a good attitude, and raised his wine glass from time to time to signal, which really made her angry half to death, "I'm here this time." It is to negotiate with you on behalf of the government, and as long as the conditions are not excessive, I can agree on behalf of the prime minister. ”
She had a bottom line and didn't say it, that is, the prime minister insisted that Zhong Shi must be put in prison.
"It's simple, give me back my freedom!"
Zhong Shi spread his hands and smiled, "I have already told you my conditions, I will no longer meddle in the affairs of the European debt crisis, and I will not engage in investment activities in Germany. In return, I asked for personal freedom. ”
"By the way, I can also promise that I will not tell everything about the German government!"
Zhong Shi finally added, and made a sealing gesture, "Forever keep it secret, don't leak half a word!" ”
Facing Zhong Shi's lazy smile, Ivana wanted to punch the other party in the face, but she knew very well that all this was in vain, so she immediately suppressed the hatred in her heart and said lightly, "I have a good suggestion, I will keep you in Germany forever, and I will not send you to prison, and I will not restrict your freedom, but I will not let you leave." If you wish, you can become a German citizen, what do you think? ”
"Not good!"
Zhong Shi's face changed, and he flatly denied, "This is just exaggerating the scale of the entire prison to the size of German territory, and I am still in prison, what is the difference between being in a small prison of ten square meters?" ”
"If you don't think about yourself, then do you have to think about your family?"
Ivana finally became ruthless, and for the first time there was a grim expression on her face, "If you really push us into a hurry, I can't guarantee that no one won't do anything to your family!" Remember, you forced me! ”
"You dare?"
Zhong Shi was suddenly enraged, jumped up and pointed at the other party's nose and shouted, "If you dare to touch a single hair of my family, I ......"
He was about to say something threatening, but the next moment he froze, because he realized that he no longer had the right chips on hand.
"What? How about you? ”
Ivana, who had the upper hand, was in a good mood, "Although the means are somewhat despicable, I can assure you that the authority and dignity of a country cannot be provoked or violated. What to do depends on how you decide in the end. ”
At this time, the cut steak was delivered, and the aroma of the steaming steak was full of appetite. But at this time, Zhong Shi had no appetite at all, just stared at the ground in a daze, and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Eat it while it's hot!"
Ivana kindly handed over the knife and fork, and added a little red wine to Zhongshi's wine glass, and then said, "Of course, we don't need to go this far, after all, we are the legitimate government, not the hooligans." Of course, if you choose to stay in Germany, then our agreement is still valid. ”
"But if you stay in Germany, you can at least not regain your freedom until the current chancellor retires completely!"
She continued meaningfully, "This is our bottom line, and we can't back down anymore." Otherwise, even if you fight to lose your reputation, we will send you to prison! ”
Zhong Shi mechanically picked up the knife and fork, cut off a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth, the usually delicious steak was like chewing wax in his mouth, and there was no taste at all.
"Sorry, I'll answer the phone first!"
Ivana was so proud in her heart that she was about to strike while the iron was hot, but the mobile phone in her arms vibrate, and she had to stand up and make an apologetic gesture to Zhong Shi, "You think slowly, there is so much time!" (To be continued.) )
