Chapter 6: Determination

Rudolph was stunned, his face full of astonishment, he could not have imagined that such a simple idea of deception would be so highly regarded by Walter, as if the family could achieve more in the post-war period of economic depression. He turned his head and looked at Fang Yan's whole body with a suspicious gaze: But no matter how you look at it, the person in front of him is just an immature teenager, if he has the advanced attainments of those economic masters, it is difficult to believe Rudolph, who knows his roots.

Compared with Rudolph's doubts, his brother Walter was overjoyed; After pondering for a moment, he immediately spoke again with a flutter of eyebrows: "When this kind of scam is implemented, it still needs to be carefully designed and prepared. We need to offer generous enough conditions to entice those with dreams of making a fortune to take the bait, and wrap the simple game of financing into an incomprehensible and complex process to highlight the mystery; In addition, we must plan to disperse the funds we receive, so that when the bubble bursts, we can sweep away all the wealth and get out......" At the end, his words were already blurted out like a cannon, and the grief and mourning that had been in the cemetery a few hours ago was no longer visible on his face.

"Rudy, I'll do that." Walter put on a solemn look and said to the brother in front of him, "I basically understand the key nodes that need to be established in the implementation of this trick, and all that remains is to refine these things one by one." If we succeed, it is entirely possible that we in the Brom family will not retreat from the post-war depression of Germany, and protect the honor of our grandfather's two generations. ”

Rudolph opened his mouth, a hint of hesitation on his face; He had only wanted to discuss a general plan for the future with Walter, but he did not expect that the other party would start a new business because of a fairy tale from his young son Jonas, which was far beyond the scope of his plan. However, Rudolph is not the kind of person who is undecided on key issues, and he quickly adjusted his mentality and said slowly: "Walter, are you really sure you want to do this?" My father had always been ready for you to serve in the government, so that you could build a relationship in the power department and defend the family; The Ph.D. in economics you are currently studying for is precisely designed to allow you to further accumulate qualifications in officialdom. If you quit your job now and switch to business, most of your previous efforts will be in vain, and you would better think about it for a while. ”

Walter smiled and said, "Rudy, my father asked me to join politics back then, and his intention was to promote the development of the family business; Now that I'm able to do this directly on an economic level, there's no need to flank the way I used to. In addition, this is not something that you can do as a shipyard operator. After all, this is a financial fraud that does not create any wealth, and if it fails, its core will definitely not be tolerated by the government authorities; If you are involved, the shipyard will be immediately confiscated by the government. ”

"How can you do this if you end up facing such serious consequences?" Rudolph spoke with some anxiety. Walter smiled undiminished and said, "Rudy, I've already thought about it. I will not carry out this scam at home, but in the United States on the other side of the ocean; And I will use a new identity in the United States, and I will have nothing to do with the Bromes family or even the German homeland. Now, in the immediate aftermath of the World War, and the administrations of the countries are in a state of turmoil, I am almost 100 percent sure that I will be able to fabricate a new identity that will not be recognized, and use it to blend in with American society. In the end, all I had to do was take the proceeds away: they couldn't find out who I really was, and even if I issued an international arrest notice, it would be futile. ”

Rudolph's eyes were solemn, and he slowly shook his head and said, "This is still too dangerous." It is impossible to be absolutely secretive about anything, and even if you change to a new identity abroad, there is still a risk of being discovered; You now have a good government job in Nuremberg, so why should you go alone to North America, where Jonas is in a dream? Listen to my advice, and you will dispel this crazy thought, and I will find a way to run the shipyard, and I will never let the honor of two generations of the Brom family be ruined in my hands. ”

Walter's expression gradually turned solemn, and he said in a slow but firm tone: "Rudy, this is my own decision. I did this not only to revive my family, but also to take revenge for the pain and humiliation that Germany has suffered today. If it weren't for the intervention of the United States, a shameless warmonger and nouveau riche, in the European war, we would have won a complete victory in the offensive on the Western Front and completely routed the French army, where would we have suffered unprecedented humiliation in the Hall of Mirrors of Versailles, where Wilhelm the Great was once crowned? I will never dare to forget this national hatred and family feud, and this time I went to the United States precisely to make those shameless Americans who only have money in their heads lose their money and make them pay the price for the endless crimes committed by Germany! ”

Hearing these words, Fang Yan was both emotional and touched in his heart: he had just proposed this Ponzi scheme, and his intention was just to restore the shipyard to its pre-war prosperity, but Walter's hatred for the Entente was so strong that he would devote himself to it, leaving no retreat for himself at all. In a way, Walter's decision was ideal: the United States had already made a fortune from four years of world war, and there was so much money left to spare in the private sector that if a Ponzi scheme could be carried out organically in the country, it would be able to gather an astonishing amount of money.

At that time, Rudolph's shipyard will be able to rely on this abundant capital injection, and in the post-war economic depression of Germany, it will be on the defensive: those companies that are doing poorly will be bought by themselves at a very low price, and eventually form a capital giant covering many industries. And Fang Yan was also able to turn his ideas on weapons and resources into reality without hindrance, and with the strength of his family, he could get a solid backstage in the future government and the opposition. (Historically, even a mustache at the peak of his personal authority could only turn a blind eye to the domestic giants.) In early 1941, Mustache ordered Mercedes-Benz to equip Tank III with the L60 long-barreled 50 mm gun to increase armor-piercing power, but at a military parade a few months later, Mustache found that Tank III was still equipped with the L42 short-barreled gun. Eventually, the matter was settled, and the German Panzers relied on the weak tanks to welcome Barbarossa. )

Rudolph sighed lightly when he heard this, he knew that it was difficult for him to persuade this brother anymore. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Since you insist on this, I have nothing to say but to fully support your actions. I'll take care of all the initial capital you need to set up a fake identity and start a business in the U.S. There is no one to rely on in North America, you have to be more careful yourself. ”

Walter nodded and said, "I understand." For the sake of secrecy, I will not contact you directly after I arrive in North America, and the wealth obtained from the scam will not be transferred back to China; You need to keep an eye on the foreign accounts that have been given a password, which is the terminal to which I transfer my funds after I have completed the money laundering. His face showed a little reluctance, but more of a determined look, and said, "The affairs of the family, please Rudy you." All for our family and the German Fatherland. ”

A few days later, Walter left the estate in the heart of Hamburg, having returned home for the funeral. Because of his important decision to go to North America to make money, Rudolph began to get busy at a very fast pace. During this period, Rudolph also took the time to find Fang Yan and asked the latter with doubts where he had seen this cunning pyramid trick; However, Fang Yan had already thought of a strategy to deal with the Ponzi scheme long before it was proposed, so that Rudolph could only attribute it to Fang Yan's unbridled imagination after interrogation. Rudolph, who felt that his young son might be a super genius like Newton, was moved, and prepared a messed up Rubik's Cube to test his intelligence; However, what disappointed him was that it took the other party more than half an hour to finally demobilize the colorful Rubik's Cube, which was not qualitatively improved compared to the efficiency of normal people.

"It seems that I was overly careful, and Jonas probably got it by accident in this matter." Seeing Fang Yan's reluctant look that had taken up precious rest time, Rudolph thought to himself in his heart. As time passed, this little episode was quickly forgotten by the busy Rudolph: in addition to his work, he now had another thing to focus on: the education of his young son.

Time flies like flowing water, and now Fang Yan is already a teenager who has reached the age of 11; Rudolf also attached great importance to the education of his juniors, and personally accompanied him to Berlin to take the entrance exams for each secondary school, and he showed even more anxiety than some candidates. However, Rudolph was clearly overly nervous. In his previous life, Fang Yan, who rushed out of the thousands of troops in the Celestial Empire college entrance examination, couldn't cope with this kind of pediatric formation, and with his eyes closed, he got the core admission quota of the most famous Berlin Middle School in Germany. Seeing Rudolph's overjoyed face after learning the result, Fang Yan, who was originally quite dissatisfied with the overuse of his knife to kill chickens, suddenly felt in a trance: he was no longer just a person like in his previous life, but already had the most cherished family and sustenance.
