Chapter 16: Failed Surgery

Of course, a layman like Yang Su did not know the depths and did not know who the godfather of Wall Street was, but he still arranged for his henchmen to continue to track down the Mak Foundation, and secretly tracked down this mysterious fund and had no other suspicious manifestations in southern Africa.

Half an hour later, the U.S. Embassy on the next street.

In the face of such an absolute forbidden area as the US Consulate General in South Africa, Yang did not hesitate to use the authority of the Ministry of the Interior and even diplomatic means, and did not hesitate to ask clearly, so she did not hesitate to get into a very unpleasant situation with the officials of the US Consulate General, and after arguing with the embassy personnel for a while, Minister Yang became impatient, and even threatened to send security forces to forcibly enter the Consulate General for a comprehensive search.

After arguing all morning, the American diplomats finally couldn't resist it, and took a step back and raised their hands to surrender, fearing the stubborn minister. A lieutenant colonel of the U.S. Marine Corps, who seemed to know the inside story, still told the truth, at least in the three years he was stationed in South Africa, he had never seen anyone from the McDonnell Foundation in Africa, let alone Mrs. McDonnell Douglas herself, which confirmed Zhao Daxi's judgment that the African branch of the McDonnell Foundation did not exist at all.

A large group of people left the U.S. Consulate General, and Yang Su pouted and spoke: "A fund company is more mysterious than the CIA, do you believe that there are no ghosts here?" ”

Several agents of the Intelligence Bureau behind her could only helplessly spread their hands at a glance, and they also felt that this thing was very strange, the dignified Mai's Fund has been famous all over the world for its high rate of return since its establishment, and it is a well-known large investment institution, why it is so mysterious is really puzzling and incomprehensible. As the group rushed back to Johannesburg, the South African National Intelligence Agency's investigation into the Mak Foundation continued, and Lei Yongqiang started a cold war with Zhao Daxi.

The childish Cold War actions of the two big men also felt funny when they saw the people around them, and also made Lin Haiyan, who had just arrived in South Africa, shake her head and laugh.

President Lin couldn't help but ridicule when he saw it: "You two are really promising, you are both seventy years old and still so naΓ―ve?" ”

Zhao Daxi smiled, but Lei Yongqiang raised his chin and was very angry: "How can this be called naΓ―ve, I am a person of faith, no one can insult my faith"

Lin Haiyan couldn't help laughing when she saw him like this, and hurriedly coaxed him to say two sentences: "Okay, okay, it's good to have faith, I absolutely agree"

At this time, Yang Su really couldn't stand it, and it was rare to be coquettish in public: "Lei Yongqiang, you have been proud these days, right, who are you playing tricks on?"

Even Lin Haiyan is the first time to see her so feminine and coquettish, and the smile on her face is stronger when she looks at Zhao Daxi, but she can also see the sincere feelings between her and Lao Lei, no matter what, Yang Su has a lifelong object, which makes President Lin, who is also a woman, very moved, the two women are close to each other and have always been very good, so they naturally have their own topics together.

The South African Intelligence Service was extremely efficient, and soon found many suspicious activities of the Mak Foundation.

On this day, by the swimming pool of the Zhao family's mansion, two senior agents of the Intelligence Bureau sang and said in a harmonious manner: "We have found that the Mak Foundation has two major customers in South Africa, one of which is the Kintra Fund headquartered in Bloemfontein...... Ha, that's so much fun. ”

At this time, another senior agent also suddenly became excited to answer: "It's really interesting, it's hard to imagine that there are only four local employees in the South African clearing center of the Mak Foundation, including two bodyguards and a computer operator, an accountant, and an office computer that can contact the mainland of the United States. ”

The two senior agents spoke, and at the same time flipped out the photos they had secretly taken from the scene and put them on the table.

Yang Su, who was basking in the sun, first picked up the photo and looked at it a few times, and then waved his hand: "You can go." ”

The two senior agents hurriedly nodded and turned around to leave, but were called back by Zhao Daxi, and Boss Zhao opened two checks for 100,000 rand with a smile on his face and handed them over.

At the same time, he smiled and ordered: "Take it, don't check the matter of the Mai's Fund again, let's stop here." ”

Of course, the two agents were happy to have money, nodded and took the check and smiled for a while before leaving happily.

Yang Su took off his sunglasses and looked at the photo, with a mocking expression on his face: "This is a bit funny, isn't it, sure enough, the efficiency of the famous Mai's Fund is really high, this world is really amazing, four people can run an overseas business settlement center with one computer?" ”,

Lin Haiyan had already heard a look of surprise, and when she took a few photos, she was also surprised and speechless.

Lao Lei's expression was wonderful, and he couldn't sit still after only looking at two photos: "I don't believe it, it's impossible"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Suxian was dissatisfied: "There are many things you don't believe, and the earth will still turn away from you, what kind of person." ”

Zhao Daxi was calm, took the photo and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, got up and patted Lao Lei twice on the shoulder comfortingly. I can quite understand his feelings, the taste of the collapse of faith is really not very comfortable, his own faith has also collapsed once, and such an open-minded person as him has regained his self-confidence after a long time of entanglement, and he once couldn't accept the fact, but in the end he gladly accepted it.

In the evening, the study.

Zhao Daxi leaned against the door of the study, looking at the computer desk, Lei Yongqiang rubbed his forehead with one hand, and kept typing on the keyboard with the other, he must have been looking up all the information about the Mak Foundation, trying to find out the answer. Zhao Daxi was relieved to drink delicious hot coffee, Lei Yongqiang is such a smart person, as long as he is willing to calm down and think seriously, he can naturally see a lot of suspicions from it, and it is only a matter of time before he comes to his senses.

After a while, Zhao Daxi knocked on the door, Lei Yongqiang subconsciously looked up at him, and only subconsciously bowed his head after hesitation.

Zhao Daxi sat opposite him with coffee, and said calmly: "See something?" ”

Lei Yongqiang's hair had already been scratched in a mess, and he was still stiff-mouthed: "If even the Mai's Fund may be a scam, then what else is true in the financial circle, this is terrible, this is outrageous"

Zhao Daxi looked at his face and knew that he had already sobered up, but he didn't want to admit it yet.

When the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help but make a joke: "Lao Lei, this kind of deception seems to have a scientific name, Ponzi scheme?" ”

Lei Yongqiang was obviously poked in the sore spot by his words, and his face showed an angry expression, but he was finally powerless to refute, as long as he was willing to doubt a shrewd financier like him, he could easily see through the suspicious Mak Fund, taking advantage of the trust of investors, and the essence was not a clever shocking scam.

Lao Lei's face was embarrassed for a while, and he grabbed his hair again: "This kind of Ponzi scheme can theoretically last for three or five years at most, but to put it bluntly, this is demolishing the east wall and making up for the west wall, which is basically a vicious circle...... How could anyone have been running such a botched scam for more than 20 years, which is theoretically impossible, and how is this done? ”

Zhao Daxi looked at him, and could only innocently spread his hands: "You are a financial expert, you ask me?" ”

Lei Yongqiang was asked by him again and stammered for a while, and after watching him for a long time, he finally sighed dejectedly, and reluctantly accepted the reality.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Yang's house.

Zhao Daxi and Lin Haiyan sat on one side, Yang Su sat on the other side, but he was also happy to accompany Lao Lei to drink a drink, Lei Yongqiang poured himself a glass of foreign wine, Yang Su was a little worried and still accompanied his lover, so he was too lazy to care, and in the delicate atmosphere, Lin Haiyan couldn't help but pick up a glass and drink it slowly in his hand.

After a period of silence, in the end, Lei Yongqiang scolded first: "His grandmother is a claw, because I was a senior member of the Madoff Academic Research Association during the years when I was studying for a doctorate in the United States, and I have learned financial theories in vain for half of my life...... However, it is undeniable that it was Madoff who single-handedly brought the NASDAQ exchange to its current status, and this person still contributed to the financial industry. ”

Even Zhao Daxi was helpless when he heard it, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he simply let him talk to himself.

Lei Yongqiang drank a few more glasses of foreign wine, and suddenly slapped the table and laughed uncontrollably, laughing until tears and snot remained: "This world is really amazing, I have studied finance all my life until today I woke up, what bullshit financial theory can be boiled down to one word, deception"

Zhao Daxi was also a little embarrassed to see him like this, and quickly snatched the wine glass from his hand, and Yang Su and Yang Su put him up and sent him back to the bedroom to the bed. Yang Su also revealed his true feelings, and he was rare to be gentle, and thoughtfully helped Lao Lei take off his leather shoes, and Zhao Daxi would not be stupid enough to stay as a light bulb, so he hurried out of the bedroom. Turning back to the living room on the first floor and sitting down, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he looked at Lin Haiyan.

Lin Haiyan drank some wine, her face was flushed, and she was also sighing: "This thing is really outrageous, it's over, I have a premonition that Wall Street is going to earthquake." ”

Zhao Daxi couldn't help it when he looked around, his big hand touched her soft thighs, and changed the topic: "Sister, what are you doing in South Africa, what is the important matter?" ”

Lin Haiyan's pretty face turned red in an instant, it was impossible to say it directly, she was embarrassed to come to meet her lover, but the shy expression on her face had already betrayed her, and Zhao Daxi couldn't help but pick her up and go to the bedroom.

After this night's leakage, the next morning.

The Zhao family's dinner table was extremely quiet, but President Lei was still a little sad and helpless between his eyebrows, and saw Zhao Lin and the two of them smiling. I really want to laugh and understand him, when a person's lifelong beliefs collapse, it is inevitable that he will be frustrated and lonely for a while, inevitably.
