Chapter 189 Misfortune Leads to the East

"What happened?"

Seeing the pale Zhong Shi slowly walking out of the embassy, Land Rover was startled. For a long time, Zhong Shi, who appeared in front of Land Rover, always looked confident. But now, Zhong Shi not only has an ugly face, but also has a very lost posture, like a lost dog.

Land Rover was naturally horrified, walked two steps quickly, grabbed Zhong Shi first, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

With his actions, other black-clothed bodyguards also ran over and surrounded Zhong Shi, and for a while, there was a crowd of people around him, so big that the two American GIs standing guard were speechless.

"It's fine, just a little frightened!"

Zhong Shi waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "It's really okay, let's go back first, I believe that it won't be long before the news reporters will arrive." ”

"Journalists?"

Land Rover was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after a little thought, he understood that some things were not easy to say here, so he nodded at the moment, glanced left and right, and the well-trained bodyguards immediately began to divide labor in an orderly manner, some of them were scattered around Zhongshi, and the other part was trotting to drive.

Not long after, three black five-box Land Rovers drove over, and after arriving in front of everyone, they stopped in unison, and the distance between the workshops was almost the same, which was obviously caused by strict training, which made the consulate staff who had been observing this side sigh again.

"Mr. Zhong, Mr. Zhong, can I delay you for a few minutes?"

Just as the bodyguards opened the car door and were about to escort Zhong Shi to the car, an unidentified person suddenly ran out of nowhere, running hard and shouting.

Without waiting for Zhong Shi to react, the two bodyguards took the initiative to break away from the group. They walked towards the visitors one left and one right, and before the visitors approached them, the two of them stretched out their left arms in a tacit understanding and made a stop gesture towards the visitors.

"Mr. Chung, I'm a journalist from Greece and I've been in Hong Kong for a long time. Your visa is about to expire and we hope you will be able to do an interview with us. We have limited funds, and if we don't succeed in this interview, I'm afraid we won't have a chance. ”

The person who came had to stop in front of the two bodyguards. Still, he mustered up the courage to shout at the bell stone, which was burrowing into the carriage.

"Wait," Zhong Shi asked as he turned to the Land Rover on the side, "What did he just say?" ”

"A young journalist from Greece!"

Land Rover said with a wry smile. "I'm complaining. But that's not our problem, let's get out of here! ”

"No, no, let him come!"

Zhong Shi pondered for a moment, then said decisively, and at the same time made a gesture of letting go to the two bodyguards, "Since others are so pitiful, then we will fulfill him." "After that. A strange smile appeared on his face.

Land Rover was puzzled at first, the Zhong Shi he knew was not a kind person. But as soon as he saw the smile on Zhong Shi's face, Land Rover immediately realized that Zhong Shi must have thought of something and wanted to use this reporter's hand to complete it.

Phaedra. Gale was a correspondent for the Greek newspaper Daily, which was not well known in Europe and the United States, despite being the newspaper with the largest circulation in Greece. Not to mention Hong Kong. At the time of the outbreak of the financial crisis in the United States, Phaedra, who had been paying attention to political news, was keenly aware of the abnormality of the financial market and took the initiative to report relevant news in the United States. After he arrived in the United States, he first ran to several places, but in addition to participating in John. Outside of Paulson's congressional hearings, nothing was found. Wall Street bigwigs live in seclusion on weekdays. Even an interview invitation from a media giant like the Wall Street Journal can be pushed and pushed, so who cares about the Greek Daily Newspaper, which is thousands of miles away? As a result, Phaedra spent several months in the United States, and very few people were able to interview, either for some minor role that was insignificant, or even for the PR department's initial review.

After running out of money, Phaedra had to return to Greece in disgrace, naturally scolded by the editor-in-chief, because there were no heavyweight interview subjects at all. But Phaedra was not reconciled, and after careful analysis, he again requested an interview, this time targeting Bell Stone, a hot top figure in the financial world.

When it comes to other top figures in the financial industry, Zhong Shi's interview is even more difficult. But for Phaedra, who was bent on making a name for himself, he realized that only by interviewing such a figure could he have the opportunity to interview more heavyweights. Therefore, despite the repeated warnings of the editor-in-chief, he resolutely stepped on the plane to Hong Kong.

Sure enough, after repeatedly contacting the Tianyu Fund, the reply Phaedra received was always "the itinerary is too dense and I can't arrange time". After a week in Hong Kong, Phaedra realized that he was going to lose the way he would go through the normal channels, and he changed his strategy from a reporter to a paparazzi, and began to track Zhong Shi's whereabouts, hoping to get a chance in person.

But not long after following Zhong Shi, he found that the big guy had bodyguards by his side all the time, even when he went home. Basically, the taxi he called either couldn't keep up with the other party, or was recognized by the other party. Today, he finally had such an opportunity, and when he hurriedly followed Zhong Shi to his destination, the sign of the American consulate made him dumbfounded again.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the opportunity that belonged to him finally came, so there was the scene above.

"Thank you, Mr. Chung, for giving me this opportunity, I'm Phaedra, a reporter from the Greek Daily Daily!"

After Phaedra was released, he quickly lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and wiped his hands on his thighs again, and then respectfully stretched out his hand to Zhong Shi, "This is a very great honor for me to interview an important person like you......"

The words of sycophancy kept coming out of his mouth, and the people around Zhong Shi were dumbfounded.

"Let's get in the car first!"

Zhong Shi smiled and shook the other party's hand, then took the lead in getting into the car and pointed to the position next to him, "Mr. Phaedra, you don't plan to interview me outside, do you?" ”

At this time, Phaedra was a little unkempt, because the budget was a little tight, and he didn't bother to wash and change the clothes on his body frequently, this crumpled suit had been worn for two days, and there was even a vague smell. He sniffed nervously. Only then did he grit his teeth and quickly get into the carriage.

Ignition, start. Not long after, three Land Rovers disappeared in front of the U.S. Consulate.

"Something happened just now, a staff member of the U.S. Consulate committed suicide!"

After sitting down, Zhongshi didn't immediately pay attention to Phaedra beside him. Instead, he said to Land Rover in the front seat in English, and glanced at Phaedra intentionally or unintentionally.

Phaedra looked at his nose and nose and his heart, in the posture of an old monk, but his ears twitched unconsciously, obviously eavesdropping on what Zhong Shi had said.

"Really?"

Land Rover Fox glanced at Phaedra suspiciously, and seeing that Zhong Shi had no intention of stopping it, he immediately understood what Zhong Shi meant, and continued to ask along with his words, "What the hell is going on." Tell me more about it? ”

"It's a consulate staff who went bankrupt during the financial crisis, bought a huge amount of life insurance and thought about death. He was armed with a gun and was going to kidnap the consul general, but unfortunately I happened to be there, and he was killed. ”

Zhong Shi couldn't stop smacking his tongue, his face was completely palpitating, and this scene was seen by Phaedra, and he nodded thoughtfully. His eyes began to flicker.

"Is there such a thing?"

Land Rover was also very emotional, "I thought these only appeared in movies!" ”

"It's much more than that. There has been a wave of suicides, and there may be more in the future. Zhong Shi's brows furrowed into a "Chuan", and he said heavily, "All this is caused by greedy capitalists, but ordinary people have to suffer." The world is so unfair! Let's talk about what the US government did after the financial crisis, and they did everything in their power to save the big capitalists on Wall Street. Now even the three major car companies have come to the rescue, completely ignoring the fairness of the market. Although some say that the fall of these big institutions will have a ripple effect, the fact is that we have all seen that the fall of the Kaminariman brothers did not deal a fatal blow to the entire financial system. Instead, the U.S. government has intensified its efforts to bail out private capital. In my opinion, the U.S. government has been held hostage by big institutions, and with the help of the government, big institutions have formed a situation where they are too big to fail. ”

Watching Zhong Shi talk nonsense seriously, Land Rover listened carefully on the surface, but in fact, he was about to laugh through his belly. Although he didn't quite understand what Zhong Shi said, in the presence of outsiders, Zhong Shi said this must be contrary to his true thoughts in his heart.

Ferdra didn't know what to do, but he thought what Zhong Shi said made sense, and nodded vigorously.

"According to my observations, the financial crisis in the United States is very serious, and in addition to the current response measures, it cannot be ruled out that they will transfer this crisis to other countries or regions. As far as I know, the financial crisis in Europe is not as severe as in the United States, but in emerging countries. In this case, transferring the crisis to Europe may be the next goal for the US government. ”

The speaker seems to be "unintentional", but the listener is definitely attentive. Phaedra's pupils immediately contracted, realizing that he might be hearing something important.

"It's here!"

It's just a pity that just when Phaedra was about to continue listening, the destination had already arrived, and he could only get off the car unwillingly with a stomach full of regret.

The group flocked to Bell Stone into the office, and after a short rest, Phaedra was respectfully invited into Bell Stone's office, and after a while, he saw a completely different Bell Stone.

With a shiny outfit, brand-new shoes, and a shiny back, Bell Stone seemed to be a different person, appearing in front of Phaedra as a standard Wall Street banker.

"How's it going, Mr. Gale, can we begin our interview?" Zhong Shi sits on a sofa with a view of the busy Victoria Harbour behind him. This scene fell into Phaedra's eyes, and Zhong Shi's image instantly became taller, and there was even some aura around him.

"Now?" Phaedra briefly lost her mind and asked blankly.

"Of course, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, now everything is about efficiency, and you and I are not exempt from vulgarity." Zhong Shi looked at the watch on his wrist and motioned for Phaedra to sit down, "It just so happens that I'm free today, so let's get started." ”

"Start, start ......"

Phaedra's mind was blank at this time, and he couldn't believe that all this was true, and he couldn't remember any of the questions he had prepared. In order to hide his embarrassment, he took the cup in his hand and poured it violently, but he didn't want to think that it was freshly brewed coffee, and the temperature was still very hot, so he was suddenly scalded.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

He began to cough violently while scrambling to wipe the coffee he had accidentally poured on his clothes, completely out of order. It took a long time for him to barely clean up all this with the help of others, and at the same time raised his head and reluctantly squeezed out a smile towards Zhong Shi.

Zhong Shi smiled and nodded, his expression was very calm, and just when Phaedra felt a little relieved and was about to pick up a glass of white water to rinse his mouth, he suddenly said, "Do you want to know the follow-up to what you said in the car just now?" ”

Phaedra's hand suddenly clicked, and the glass of water in his hand fell to the carpet again. (To be continued......)
