Chapter Ninety-Eight: Each Harbors a Ghost
"Alisher Usmanov, steel and mining tycoon. Not only the second largest telecommunications operator in Russia, but also the owner of the website. In a giant luxury yacht moored in the port of Cardiff, Abu introduces his friend, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears who looks like a brown bear. With the general's belly squinting and his eyes flashing with a vulture look, he looked more like a Russian gangster boss.
"I didn't expect Mr. Usmanov to be quite interested in the Internet." Chen Bo smiled slightly and shook the fat right hand that the other party stretched out.
"But I'm more interested in making money with money, and it doesn't matter what industry it is." Usmanov's eyes were fixed on him, flashing sharply. There was also a secret increase in his hand, but the feedback he waited for was beyond his expectations, and the other party was still smiling as before, without any discomfort.
"Business has no domain." Chen Bo echoed, then took out his hand and put it behind his back to shake it gently when he was not paying attention. I secretly said in my heart, MD is a human hand, like a TMD vice. However, the expression on his face was still light, and he pulled the young man next to him and introduced the two of them, "James, the future heir of the Rothschild family." ”
"House Rothier? What is Sir Jacob's relationship with you? The look of surprise on their faces flashed, and then they asked.
"It's the contemptible grandfather." Although little James is the same age as Chen Bo, under the education of an excellent family environment, he is not young and immature, which is very similar to Nicholas, both of them are the leaders of the big family, but one is a marginal role, and the other has been designated as the successor of the next generation.
"Oh." Abu nodded, and did not cross-examine again, although Rothchild was in decline in Europe, no one doubted the connections that the traditional family company had accumulated over the years.
Abu, as the owner of the yacht, then ordered the crew to sail the ship out to sea, and then let them all go to the cabin, which was strictly guarded by numerous bodyguards armed with machine guns.
A few people exchanged simple pleasantries with vodka and ice, from the terrible weather in London to the thin oxygen in Siberia to the bizarre glitz of Hollywood. Of course, Chen Bo can calm down, after so many years of training, how can he mix without this bit of city government.
It wasn't until Usmanov was fidgeting with his fat ass writhing in the soft sofa, and the frequency of the writhing was increasing, that Abu opened his mouth, "Ali Shel has read some of the information you gave, and is also very interested in your plan, let's share a boat here today, you might as well have something to say about what to do." ”
"It's not enough." Chen Bo took a sip of strong vodka, shook his head and said softly.
"What's not enough?" Abu wondered, "Alisher has a very wide range of contacts in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and he also has a unique vision for both investment and financing. ”
"Then I would like to ask, how much money can Sir mobilize to participate in this plan?"
Chen Bo turned his head to stare at Usmanov, and there was some contempt in his tone, which made the obese brown bear feel annoyed, and immediately said in a loud voice, "Young man, when I was in prison in the former Soviet Union, I am afraid you were not born yet." Let's not talk about my funding, what can you do to prove that you can afford this big plan? ”
"I'll admit I don't have that ability." Chen Bo didn't care, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile, "But I have the best intelligence team in the world, not only can I spy on more private information, but I don't need to spend huge amounts of money and costs to maintain relationships with dignitaries from various countries, because there are countless people working for me all over the world." And is the strength of the Rothschild family still questionable? ”
"I've already confirmed your information, it should be credible." Usmanov nodded first, and then scoffed: "The glory of the Rothel family was more than a hundred years ago, and now it is just a small private bank. ”
Even if he has a lot of hands and eyes in Russia, and some connections in Europe, he can't be everywhere. Although it is impossible to know the specific details, it can confirm the authenticity of the Goldman Sachs Group, and the government of a small country like Greece is not.
Little James didn't get angry when he heard his words, but was full of confidence
"As you said, Rothschild Bank is indeed a small bank with assets of only a billion pounds, and it is undeniable that it is like a little ant in front of the major investment banks. However, our family has always maintained close ties with European dignitaries, and we also have many friends in the financial industry. This time, we have invited George Soros to reorganize the Quantum Fund to operate, and the Rockefeller, Mellon, Morgan and other families will join our plan. ”
"Oh? They're all on board? ”
"Can't you trust the credibility of the Rothesmine family?" James questioned in a stern tone, "What we lack now is a powerful partner in Eastern Europe, not just a beggar who follows the meal!" ”
"That? What do I need to do? Instead of being annoyed, Usmanov put away his contempt and asked cautiously.
"Allocate the funds needed to raise the necessary funds, and deal with the aftermath to avoid unnecessary trouble. Money has to be earned, and relationships have to be taken care of, you know what I mean. ”
"I understand this! I wonder when it will be launched? You're going to have to give me some letters. ”
"I'll let you know in advance when I'm waiting for news!" James suddenly goes from foil to protagonist, and Usmanov goes from being arrogant at the beginning to being docile little sheep.
Chen Bo treated him coldly beside him, although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't show it directly, and today was just a probing tone.
He didn't know the bottom of the big plan of bullshit, so he didn't boast about a lot of Haikou, just to watch their performances.
……
When he returned to land, Chen Bo couldn't help but ask James his questions.
"Vincent, you probably don't know much about Usmanov. He is in a similar situation to Abu, who has long since moved all his property to offshore islands, and has been living in London, controlling assets in Russia through foreign companies. Moreover, this person has been imprisoned in the former Soviet Union for six years, although he is bold but suspicious, so I deliberately behaved very arrogant! ”
"So Soros is fooling him or something?"
"That's not it, the Quantum Foundation is reorganized, and Soros will indeed come back out of the mountain, but it's just the work that the Rockefeller family does. And Jacob had already flown to New York to meet with David in person. ”
"You're really fast."
"Why miss such a great opportunity? We have missed the Second Industrial Revolution, missed the development period of the United States, and suffered tragic losses in the war. I don't want to miss this era again and again. James stretched out an arm and put it on Chen Bo's shoulder, "Although we can maintain friendly relations with governments, we can't hear such private information, thank you this time." ”
"Thanks? What to thank! My wife and children are now waiting to be fed at home, waiting for me to earn milk powder money back. ”
"You're really modest, but do you have to do something on the East Asian side? There is a lot of power in numbers. The more money you have, the more it will help us! ”
"Let's wait until the specific plan comes out, those people are the ones who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles." Chen Bo didn't respond directly, he was ostracized in China, how could he have so many local tyrant friends, but it was not easy to say it directly, if there was a detailed plan, I believe there would still be people interested.
……
Still on the Magnetic Compass, Usmanov and Abu sat staring at each other, unable to attract their attention to the fatty foie gras and deep-sea caviar on their plates.
"Roman, is that Chinese kid reliable?"
"Sometimes I think I can see through him, but I can't figure out his true heart. But he's really helped me make a lot of money over the years, and the Millhouse Foundation, you know, has always had a clear account from the beginning to the present, and has not found any doubts, and is also a friend worth making. ”
"Well, but it's not a small business." Usmanov still has some doubts, "You only invested $3 billion in the foundation, but this time you need to mobilize more than 10 times the amount of funds, so you still have to be careful." ”
"You, haven't you made another mistake with your old mistakes?" Abu said disapprerovingly, "What is there to worry about?" Could he dare to swallow our money? Who is so bold? ”
"No, I'm not afraid of him. I'm worried about Vladimir, who, by his means, will necessarily know, if to force a piece of the pie? Will it end up like Berezudsky and them? ”
"It's really disgusting that those people in St. Petersburg are now ascending to heaven and are insatiable in taking advantage of the economic upturn." Abu nodded, rather dismissive. And said, "Leave this question to me, Katerina is due to graduate this summer, it is very suitable for her to act as her agent, and there are very few people who know her identity." What do you think will happen to a young girl in the prime of life with a golden, chic and romantic young guy? ”
"Hahaha, aren't you afraid that Vladimir will tear you down?" Usmanov imagined the picture and laughed.
"I'm afraid it's too late to thank me." Abu touched his beard and smiled, "If there is such a son-in-law to help him make money and launder money, then he can easily rule Russia for 20 years." ”
"Be careful, if you lose your wife, you will lose your soldiers." Usmano didn't quite agree with his methods, but he didn't dwell too much on this Hua Ri, and then changed the subject: "That little James cowhide of the Rothschild family blows so loudly, do you think I can't see it?" It's just an opportunity to probe his hole cards! If it is true to what he said, then there is still a lot of feasibility in this operation, and tomorrow I will go to Uzbekistan, and when I return to London, I hope that good news will happen! ”
"Okay, I've got to meet Old Major, too."
Abu also said that this Major is not the abbreviation of Meijiewedev, but the former British Prime Minister John Major.
He himself lives in the Chelsea area of London and is naturally a regular in the Stamford Bridge box, using football as an acquaintance and using his extravagance to weave a network of connections in the UK. Shimono's Major is now more of his personal staff.
