Hearing that Shen Chao assured him of his safety, the old man sat down in disbelief, and took a cup of tea handed over by Shen Chao a little nervously.

Muslims don't drink alcohol, and it is likely to be insulting to give them alcohol, which is why he does not have a single glass of alcohol in his current circular office.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. Shen Chao smiled when he saw the old man's worried look, persuaded him, and took a sip of the tea in his cup first. The old man nodded slightly when he said this, which was regarded as thanks.

Speaking of which, it is likely that some people may wonder how a once prominent country-level leader like the old man in the white robe could be ignored by the expedition team, and why didn't Jonathan and Shen Chao recognize his identity before this?

It stands to reason that such a national-level political figure, whether it is Shen Chao or Jonathan, and intelligence professionals should know it by heart.

It is normal that the physical appearance of these important leaders and what they have experienced should be remembered as clearly as their resumes, and if they can't do it, who will have the face to say that they are professionals in the intelligence community?

In this case, why did the two of them faint at the beginning and not recognize this person? This is because, on the main plane, the legendary leader of the UAE has been dead for several years!

In 2006, Dubai's legendary leader died of illness at the age of 63. And the current timeline of this plane is 2012!

Therefore, it is not to blame Shen Chao for their slow reaction, but that no one will keep a dead person who has held a state funeral in mind and use it to compare his identity with the living.

Shen Chao is a little better, but he went to the Middle East to perform a few missions a long time ago when he was in the third echelon. So he still has a little impression of this old man's family.

But Jonathan is different, the boss of the Emirate of Dubai was already dead when he officially entered the main plane. So he didn't memorize the leader's background information during training at all.

"My title is the glory of the past, and now, I'm just an ordinary old man. I hope to live with my people in these difficult times. As long as I am allowed to do this, I am satisfied. ”

After taking a sip of tea and finding that it was indeed not poisonous, the white-robed old man said slowly. There was a firm but somewhat pleading tone in his tone.

Since the outbreak of the crisis, his former title of honor has been of little use. On the contrary, it caused him a lot of trouble during the crisis.

If it weren't for the desperate protection of a few loyal members of the guard, he would have died in the first wave of the virus wave. That's why he vetoed the meaning of his title in the first sentence. Although that's something he used to value.

"Your title is indeed a thing of the past, and I can't help any of you rebuild your country." However, the ownership of your property has not changed. And here, your basic human rights are under my protection. ”

"As far as I know, before the crisis broke out, this building, and your palace. and some other fixed assets are still in your name. And these places are still quite well preserved. ”

"This creates a problem, we have occupied this building, but you are the owner of the building, and we want to continue to use the ......" Shen Chao put down his teacup and clearly raised this sensitive issue.

"Nope. No, this is already yours, and I give up all my rights to all the property I had before......" The old man immediately put down his teacup and said when he heard this.

Jokes aside, even before the crisis, when he was the prime minister of a country, he probably didn't have the strength to challenge the organization represented by the young people in front of him.

What's more, now, the opponent's high-tech army has completely occupied this place. It is certainly uncomfortable to see one's original property being fought against.

But compared to the safety of oneself and the lives of one's clansmen, these past glories and possessions are all floating clouds. He had long since learned to focus on what matters most during the past two years of difficult life, and that is life, his own life and that of his companions.

It was with this belief, along with the good reputation he had amassed before the crisis, and the small number of connections that he had preserved, that he was able to become the chief judge of all the large settlements in the vicinity within a few hundred kilometers, responsible for maintaining the connection and coordination between the survivor settlements.

"Don't you need some compensation?" I can buy ownership of this building for gold or other equivalent at the original price. Rest assured, this is your legal property. We will not take your property. ”

Shen Chao said seriously. As he spoke, he also opened a control panel next to him, called up the real-time surveillance video, and showed him the gold in the warehouse of the Zero space station. It can be regarded as proving one's ability to pay.

Gate A, which now opens to this plane, has long been moved to the Dibai Mall near the Burj Khalifa, connecting their base in the main plane through guò, so they can coordinate the transportation of materials between the two places in real time.

When displaying, Shen Chao even calculated to the old man in person that they would pay too few shelves of gold for buying out his Burj Khalifa.

In total, at the original price of $70 billion, they would have to pay one-fifth of the gold in their inventory. is within the scope of his own property, so he can make his own decisions. There is no need to have a team meeting.

Hearing Shen Chao's words and the surveillance video of the vault shown to him, the old man felt incredible, yes, the architectural marvel of the Burj Khalifa was indeed his family's property, and it was the most valuable property.

At that time, he mobilized the strength of his entire family, and it was only with a patchwork of loans that he was able to pay for the entire $70 billion needed to build the mega building.

Finally built this super building, before all the interior decoration was completed, the virus crisis that swept the world broke out. Then he and a few people who were not infected narrowly escaped to death, and slowly survived until today after leaving the city.

Right now, seeing that the Burj Khalifa he had worked so hard to build was occupied by others, he did feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. But that feeling wasn't particularly strong.

Because the appearance of these invaders who occupied his possessions also meant that the era of chaos was over, and they had the opportunity to rebuild civilization.

This opportunity is what they have been thinking about day and night in the past two years, and with this future, it is not unacceptable to accept who to lead, what system to use, and even give up the past property.

"No, no, no. As is customary, when you find it, this is the Borderlands. So there's nothing wrong with it, this place doesn't belong to me for a long time......" The old man still excused himself. He wasn't really interested in Shen Chao's mention at all.

It's just that he didn't dare to take risks on this issue. What if the other party is just testing him or is just playing with him? He couldn't afford to lose.

"What if I insist on buying?" Will you accept my offer? Shen Chao was a little impatient to see him so unreasonable, and he had to beg him to sell the house, but his tone was still very polite. "It's too unreasonable. I don't want to send you any money. Shen Chao couldn't help but comment in his heart.

"But you have taken this place, and you can ......," replied the old man in a tone of incredulity. He could hear the suppressed dissatisfaction in Shen Chao's words just now.

Shen Chao's strange attitude really made him stunned, and there were many political and economic struggles he had participated in in the previous decades.

But I really haven't seen someone like Shen Chao who spit out everything he swallowed. "He doesn't have a problem with his brain, does he?" The old man even had such a thought in his heart. But it was quickly overthrown by its own.

"I know. This is indeed my occupation zone now. I can really take anything I fancy it, even people. Shen Chao first admitted the old man's point of view.

"But we're here to rebuild civilization, not to rob." So, since it's reconstruction, some things still need to be done according to the rules before the crisis. ”

Shen Chao patted the other party's hand and explained, reassuring him. Is he really stupid? Spending money to buy the dead land that you have already occupied, is this brain-dead? Of course not!

I've said it before. They are not philanthropists, and they will not do anything without profit. Of course, it is impossible to admit the ownership of the Burj Khalifa by the old man in front of him for no reason.

The reason why Shen Chao bought this building that they had already occupied at the original price was not out of the spirit of the contract that the gods and horses were misplaced, but because he saw the bigger and more important benefits behind this old man.

Ever since he recognized the old man in front of him just now, he saw an opportunity. An opportunity to rebuild social credibility and the financial system in a relatively short period of time.

In the previous plan, it would take them more than a year to rebuild the basic economic system of the plane, promote the resumption of commodity trade on a certain scale, and then two years later to start the full construction of the financial industry.

Such a solution is more secure, easier to control, and can greatly prevent the collapse of the financial system they are trying to build due to lack of credit.

This is not unfounded, Shen Chao himself is a professional, so he knows the difficulty of building a stable and effective financial system.

That's not something that some little whites can do with a few money printing machines and a few green or red tickets.

In a smaller environment, it usually takes a lot of time to build a new monetary and financial system, especially in a world where there are only a few million people in the world, and it is not easy to build a financial system.

Financial credibility is not something that can be obtained by guns, it can only be supported by stable trade and the equivalent that everyone recognizes.

And what Shen Chao has to do now is to take this opportunity to establish the financial credit of his organization in advance and save this year's time.

How? Quite simply, buy it from the former owner of the Burj Khalifa in the name of the Reconstruction Committee or simply the Space-Time Council, so that all the survivors can see their determination and good business reputation to maintain the pre-crisis order.

With such credibility, it will be possible to calm people's minds and reduce their possible fear and distrust of their mechanical legion, and finally establish an effective financial system in a short period of time. And use it to help control the world...... (To be continued.) )
