Shizuka Kudo stayed in the cold country for a few days and left.

Maybe it's because of the unaccustomed to the water and soil, or because he learned Daojun's mind.

She returned to Dongying satisfied.

It's just that before leaving, after she asked Daojun for the names of the two children, she also asked the master for a divination.

The child's name is fine, it matches them.

The only point is that the master earnestly instructed her that the child must be rich and noble when he is born, but because the father's life is very hard, she needs to avoid it.

Therefore, Shizuka Kudo directly agreed with Daojun that after the child was born, the photo would be sent to him first, but when the moon was full, Daojun could not come over.

So, from 1999 to 2000, the semiconductor industry began to decline, and chips began to rise.

Chen Daojun let Chen Rongji and Chen Dongji fight each other, and frequently traveled between the two places under the pretext of coordinating the development of chip factories in Dongying and H City.

It's been a peaceful life.

It's just that in between the exchanges, he has asked Xin Zhizhu and others to quietly lay out the stock markets of M, Japan and South Korea.

It's like a giant prehistoric crocodile dormant in deep water, quietly waiting for its prey to be caught.

July 2000.

The catastrophe caused by the financial turmoil is a thing of the past, and economies across Asia are recovering as fast as mushrooms.

And with the passage of time, the military commanders stationed in Han have also reached the age of retirement.

Although there are still a few months left according to the procedure, there are different opinions on the successors.

Chen Daojun knew that it was time for him to go to Xiaobu.

Boo's team has started to go crazy, with posters of him all over the place, and it's clear that he's in a state of accumulating a blow at the moment.

This month, in order to gain more support, Xiaobu even set a record of going to seven places to give speeches in one day.

But no matter how busy he was, when he heard that Chen Daojun was coming, he still made enough time to receive Daojun.

Can't wait to see Chen Daojun's Xiaobu, after the two of them sat down.

Xiaobu asked Daojun very enthusiastically: "Chen, how long will you stay in country M this time?" If I have enough money, I can arrange some trips and go to Texas together. ”

Chen Daojun was also very easy-going and chatted with him for a while, and then looked at the time, it was already 10:30 in the evening.

Only then did I get to the point: "Mr. Xiaobu, you don't have to be nervous, in fact, I don't want to trouble you this time." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Bu immediately spoke: "Chen, you have helped me too much, there is no need to be so polite between you and me, if I can help, it will definitely be incumbent." ”

This guy agreed quickly, but it also proved from the side that he was indeed just one foot away from the door now, and he was in a very good mood.

For Chen Daojun, according to the image in his memory, the better Xiaobu mixes, the more satisfied he is.

After all, the investment he made before was not to wait for the day when Xiaobu took the position, and at that time, it would be able to provide him with great convenience.

Now take advantage of the power in his hands in advance, and that is understandable.

So, Chen Daojun stretched out a finger and said, "Mr. Xiaobu, don't worry, I'm here this time to fund you another 100 million US dollars, of course, this has nothing to do with what I want to ask you, if you feel embarrassed, you can directly refuse." ”

As soon as he heard that Chen Daojun was going to fund himself another $100 million, Xiaobu's eyes lit up.

Even though he is now one of the big favorites, there is a feeling that it is not what it used to be.

But without a high position, everything is empty talk.

He knew that Chen Daojun accounted for a large part of the credit.

After all, the $100 million he gave himself at the beginning allowed him to get to where he is today.

Even if his status is different now, the $100 million is still a huge amount of money for him, how can he not be excited.

The key is that Chen Daojun has always helped, not asked.

Compared to the other dog skin plasters, this is like a saint.

With this new $100 million, it is definitely possible for him to take the situation of having a slight upper hand, and it is not impossible to even completely subdue his competitors.

"Chen, just say it directly, you have great kindness to me, no matter how difficult your affairs are, I will definitely do my best."

As a Z guest, Xiaobu's mind is not ordinarily active, and Chen Daojun took the lead in proposing to provide campaign funds, which is enough to prove that he is not in trouble.

So Xiaobu also temporarily changed his tone of speech, saying that he would do his best to give himself a buffer.

Chen Daojun laughed in his heart, but on the surface he didn't know.

He had known for a long time that these guys were more ruthless than businessmen, and this was the reality of Red GG.

But he doesn't care, as long as there is still an exchange of interests between him and Xiaobu, then this guy is firmly bound to him.

"Mr. Xiaobu is like this, I have a lot of business in the cold country, but these businesses need some protection, so I hope that the personnel stationed in South Korea in country M can help, of course, I will also talk about my gratitude financially, but the key is that I am not familiar with them at all, I heard that new personnel will be rotated soon, I don't know"

Chen Daojun's words came to an abrupt end, because he had already made the meaning he wanted to express very clear, and the rest depended on how Xiaobu would respond.

After learning the truth of this incident, Xiaobu relaxed a lot.

He originally thought it was something difficult, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

His father was the previous commander, and he happened to be very familiar with the insiders.

"Chen, I have always felt that you are a very generous person, those bastards didn't embarrass you before, they really tasted too much sweetness before, and they didn't even sell your face, don't worry, I can help you deal with this matter, no matter who it is, I will definitely let those bastards not dare to mess around again."

Xiaobu, who is already one of the candidates, has taken it all over.

It can be said that with his current position, it is really not much difficulty to accomplish this.

Although he and the garrison belong to the same circle, don't forget that behind them are arms dealers, and everything in this world is connected in some way.

Just like those politicians can't do without the support of businessmen and tycoons.

He's got a way to teach those guys a good lesson.

But if that's the case, Chen Daojun doesn't need to look for Xiaobu.

So when Xiaobu was full of confidence, Chen Daojun said: "Mr. Xiaobu, forget it, I don't want to make trouble for you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Bu subconsciously wanted to say that it was not troublesome, but he suddenly found that Chen Daojun's expression had changed slightly, and he seemed to be faintly disappointed.

He immediately sensed that something was wrong, so he immediately turned on his brain and thought wildly.

After a moment, he finally thought of the point, and spoke:

"Chen, it's me who didn't think it through, well, if there is a bastard who dares to offend you, how can I still let him go to the garrison smoothly, this person definitely needs to be more capable and know how to communicate, don't worry, it won't take a few months, when everything settles, leave this matter to me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Hearing this, Chen Daojun showed a satisfied smile, and then said politely: "That's hard for you, I'll send someone over to transfer money to you immediately, the time is about the same, I booked a hotel, let's talk while eating." ”

What you see with your own eyes in this world is not necessarily true, for example, Chen Daojun and Xiaobu, who seem to be very close at the moment.

Although there are indeed many common topics between the two, it is just a mutual use, one is a businessman and the other is a Z customer.

Talking about feelings with these two kinds of people is simply a fantasy.

In the hotel box, under the deliberate guidance of Chen Daojun, the atmosphere between the two was harmonious.

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Daojun even patted Xiaobu on the shoulder directly: "Don't be nervous, I believe that you will definitely be able to take the position in the future, it won't take long!" ”

After Chen Daojun said that he thought Xiao Bu could take the position, this guy's heartbeat rate skyrocketed.

He knew that Chen Dao was optimistic about himself, but he never expected that Chen Daojun actually had so much confidence in him.

It was as if his election would become a reality, not an expectation.

"Mr. Xiaobu, I want to ask you a question, I mean, if you really take the position, what will you do to the friends who helped you?"

Xiaobu was stunned for a moment.

To be honest, he is no different from other Z guests, the biggest purpose is to be able to get on the throne, and in order to be able to do it for a longer time after taking the position, he must make many outstanding achievements.

According to the normal way of thinking, in order to achieve this goal, he will inevitably be desperate, even if Chen Daojun's request is contrary to his purpose at that time, he will resolutely choose and dilute the mud.

Even treating Chen Daojun, the person who supports him strongly, is like this, not to mention other people, it's not a big deal, after all, this is the most primitive ugly face of Z Ke.

But Chen Dao asked like this, and when he said it, he hesitated.

He wasn't thinking about how to deal with the past with some pretty words, but really thinking about how to deal with those who supported him after he got in power.

Now that you're in the position, you have to do it twice!

Originally, this matter could be said privately between the two of them, but Chen Daojun brought it up like this, which was what surprised Xiaobu.

But once again, he saw Dojoon's clear eyes.

Suddenly, he had an epiphany, and seemed to understand something, so he laughed, and smiled very sincerely: "Chen, the last time we met, didn't you tell me about the ancient Chinese dialect?" I remember that it was called 'the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring', and of course I had to do my best to help my friends who had helped me, otherwise, who would continue to help me in the future. ”

Xiaobu said this very sincerely, and he didn't see any perfunctory meaning.

In fact, this is indeed not a lie, that is because Xiaobu suddenly figured everything out in a matter of seconds.

Originally, as a Z customer, if you want to get support, you have to go to the arms dealers and the interests of all parties to make a relationship like begging.

Any gift given by fate is secretly marked with a price.

If you get something from someone else, you will inevitably have to agree to some conditions in the future.

Without Chen's support, he would not have been able to develop so rapidly in the political world.

If he had gone door-to-door to ask for that little bit of campaign money, he might not have been able to compete with him at all, and he would have been just an ordinary governor.

Even if he barely wins PK, the shackles on his body will make him breathless.

Since Chen Daojun has the ability to help him, he will naturally continue to support him in the future, and it is definitely easier to help one person than to help a group of people.

After hearing his answer, Chen Daojun also showed a knowing smile.

"Well said, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

On August 11, 2001, the hot summer passed.

The IMF governance system ended, and the government of the cold country fully repaid the IMF's $19.5 billion loan.

Although, this ended with countless cold country chaebols working for Wall Street.

After two years of combing, Shunyang Group has also been reborn.

However, the commander of the Han country, who was so happy, did not let go of this opportunity to once again comfort the people's pain and toil, saying that the crisis in the cold country had completely ended, and did not forget to boast about himself.

However, the crisis has passed, and the cold country has crossed a point of no return.

The concept of old-age care disappeared, and money worship prevailed.

Money has become the highest value to measure a person's success, and consumption is no longer a daily life, but a means for the powerful and chaebols to show off their wealth.

They have forgotten how difficult it was to move forward in the financial crisis.

It was not so much the word extravagance, but the word luxury soon and naturally took its rightful place in the chaebol family.

With sparkling diamond jewelry and colorful luxury bags, what wealthy lady doesn't like?

But what many people don't notice is that the labor income of workers in cold countries has shrunk dramatically as structural adjustment has exacerbated job instability and income inequality.

The unemployment rate, as Mr. Chan had predicted at H-City University, has become the norm.

To put it mildly, H City University, as the top university in the cold country, has more than 10% of its students who can't find jobs.

It can be seen that the economic recovery is only in the chaebol family.

The ratio of 8%:35%:57% has become a staggering 3%:20%:77% of the wealthy, middle-class, and low-class people.

And with the intensification of wealth inequality, the gap between the rich and the poor in cold countries is getting wider and wider.

While the consumption of the poor has decreased, leading to a sluggish domestic demand, on the other hand, the chaebols have formed a large-scale liquidity.

After the collapse of the IT boom, massive liquidity worth hundreds of billions of won shifted from the stock market to real estate, triggering a nationwide frenzy of real estate speculation.

Of course, this real estate craze is a global phenomenon.

The ultra-low interest rate policy initiated by country M has led to excess liquidity in the market, and this liquidity flows into the real estate market, causing bubbles, which is one of the factors.

But whatever the cause, the consequences are devastating.

There is a generation that has lost its home.

There has also been a generation of people who have begun to roll up frantically in order to achieve a class jump, and in the mouths of high school students in the cold country, the slogan of "four should be five down" has been shouted.

Meaning, if you only sleep four hours a day, you can go to college; If you sleep five hours a day, you'll be off the list.

In order to be admitted to private high schools, many high school students once only slept three hours a day, and the small steps at the entrance of the cram school became a paradise for everyone to catch up on sleep.

This is the epitome of thousands of Korean middle school students: lack of sleep, day and night tutoring, and involution.

All high school students have only one goal, to be admitted to the top universities in the cold country called "SKY University" - H City University, Gao L University, and Yonsei University.

In fact, Chen Daojun was not interested in what was being said on the radio about how to deal with the IMF's program.

Because from now on, what is going to happen in a month is the big thing, and nothing else catches his attention.

In the trading floor of Shunyang Securities Company, which he established, Chen Daojun carried a cup of coffee and always had a faint smile on his face.

The full screen of M Japan and South Korea stock charts and the current status board seem useless, and there are only endless hesitations and confused minds with people.

Chen Daojun didn't actually know the stock price on September 12, 2001.

But what he does know is that there will be a major earthquake in the global stock market.

Shinnosuke stood behind him, looking nervous, waiting for Chen Daojun's answer.

In the past few years, he has been dealing with more than 100 million funds, and Shin Nosuke has even grown a beard, which is a makeover compared to the appearance of a high school student for 4 years!

The higher the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!

After a long time, Chen Daojun pinched off the cigarette butt in his hand:

"Full position, short position!"

"Yes!"

Tuesday, 11 September 2001.

Just when mythology was at the top of the pop song charts.

Just half a year after Xiaobu took the throne.

9:00 p.m. Cold Country Time.

At the end of the day's work, office workers, as usual, drank cheap soju and pork belly as a snack, chewed dried squid, and drank beer to relieve fatigue.

At 7:59 a.m. on the same day, Air Flight 11 of Country M took off as usual, carrying 92 passengers.

After a few moments, the controller said, "We hijacked the plane, and if you don't act rashly, everything will be fine." ”

The flight disappeared from radar over New York.

At 8:46 a.m., just as New Yorkers were hurrying to work, a plane suddenly crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

Disappearing from the radar was Air M Flight 11.

When the multi-angle burning picture was broadcast live to almost the world, countless broadcast cameras were pointed at the building.

The whole world was in an uproar!
