chapter 501

"My God, there are 2.5 trillion U.S. dollars!!!" Li Zetian opened his mouth wide, his face full of shock.

Dongfang Yuqin laughed and said, "This doesn't include the companies we acquired!"

Li Zetian nodded with a smile: "That's right, these companies are all at the price of cabbage, and you can make a lot of money if you buy them!"

"However, we still have a problem." Dongfang Yuqin said, "Before the short positions in futures and stock indexes were too large, there must be people who doubted us."

Li Zetian was silent for a while, and said: "It's normal. If you don't suspect them, they are idiots. Even if we are finally investigated, it doesn't matter. We are serious businessmen. We have never stolen or robbed. Before the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, what about the short sellers of the stock market? This only shows that we have foresight! If the stock market does not fall, we will also suffer huge losses, won’t we? We are also taking huge risks.” Li Zetian plausible.

"What's more, they don't know how much money we actually make."

Dongfang Yuqin nodded.

Li Zetian said again: "However, everyone is innocent and guilty. We have so much money, there must be people who will miss it and want to cut the wool. Therefore, we have to strengthen our self-protection ability." Li Zetian paused for a while, thinking After a moment, he said, "I have decided to increase investment in military power and cutting-edge technology!"

"how do you want to do it?"

"Mercenaries, weapons, robots, artificial intelligence, genetic technology, satellite positioning, etc.,"

Li Zetian's tone turned cold, "If any country dares to hurt us and take away our wealth, so what if I become a terrorist? As long as there are advanced weapons, powerful mercenaries or robot armies... I dare to put this The sky is overturned!!!”

Dongfang Yuqin leaned her head on Li Zetian's shoulder, and said softly, "It's a mistake to be too outstanding. Honey, no matter what decision you make, I will support you!"

Li Zetian kissed her forehead, smiled and said: "Of course, this is the worst plan. I will support my own forces to control the US government. Over the years, the orphans we have raised have grown up, and many of them have participated in politics. It’s all our political power!!!”

Since the mid-70s, Li Zetian has been laying out this trick.

Over the past 30 years, the orphans of those years have grown up and become a powerful support for Li Zetian!Li Zetian also supported their rapid development through his own strength, and now, many of them hold high positions in the US government and even other countries.

However, Li Zetian also knows that after all, it has only been a few decades, and the background is still somewhat lacking, so he can't completely rely on them, and he needs to be hardworking himself.

Now, the family has too much money to spend, so they must invest it as soon as possible and turn it into their own strength.In the evening, Li Zetian, Yu Jingqiu, and Dongfang Yuqin discussed for a long time and made many plans.

Yu Jingqiu is mainly responsible for charity business, training orphans, helping the poor, earning a good reputation for Li Zetian, and at the same time training these people to become supporters of the Li family.

Dongfang Yuqin is mainly responsible for commercial investment planning, while Li Zetian is in charge of the overall situation.

……

America, the White House.

"Your Excellency, we have basically investigated clearly. Before the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, it should be Chronos Li who wantonly shorted the global futures and stock indexes. Come to think of it, he may have made a trillion or two trillion dollars!" The FBI minister said to President Omar, thinking Sneering, Chronos Li still wants to hide it, but how can such a huge sum of money be concealed?

Like history, Omar was elected President of the United States on November 2008, 11.At this moment, when he heard this, he couldn't help but click his tongue secretly.

"Your Excellency, if Chronos Li hadn't shorted the global stock market, this financial crisis would not have been so serious!" the FBI minister said angrily. During this financial crisis, the FBI minister suffered heavy losses and his personal assets shrank significantly. , Several companies invested in went bankrupt.

Omar frowned and said, "Chronos Li is a normal business operation, and we have nothing to do with him!"

"Your Excellency, even so, Chronos Li is selfish and disregards the interests of the world. We can expose his ugly crimes!" The FBI minister said in the communique, and before Omar could speak, he continued, "Chronos Li Li is rich and powerful, and there are many companies under his name, which affect the economy of the United States. Your Excellency, such a person is not a good thing for the United States, but a potential threat to the authority of the American regime! The reason why the United States has set such a high The inheritance tax is to prevent the emergence of super rich people like Chronos Li who will threaten the rule of the United States! If Chronos Li is allowed to continue to develop, he will definitely become powerful and eventually control the US government!"

Omar is depressed, I just took office not long ago, you want me to get Chronos Li, aren't you kidding...

"This..." Omar hesitated, and said slowly, "As the president, I don't want to see such a detached and uncontrolled figure appear in the United States. It's just that Chronos Li's influence is too great. It plays an important role in peace and stability, so dealing with Chronos Li is not a trivial matter, and requires a long-term plan. Besides, he did not break the law..."

The FBI Secretary said: "Exposing his scandal and suppressing his company will definitely make him very uncomfortable!"

"That's fine!" Omar thought for a while, and finally nodded. He thought, there are many companies under Chronos Li's name that have formed a monopoly. The previous US presidents had close ties with him. I have to work hard, I don't want the sugar-coated bullets thrown by Chronos Li, I must punish him severely.In addition, orders from the government and the army can no longer be given to him. The United States cannot cultivate an uncontrolled person, and this person is still a Chinese!Although he is an American citizen, he has only been a naturalized American for more than [-] years. His ancestors are all Chinese, and he himself was born in China!

Seeing that Omar agreed, the head of the FBI was overjoyed, and couldn't help but continue to encourage: "Your Excellency, if you can suppress Chronos Li, your achievements are comparable to President Theodore Roosevelt! Back then, for the sake of the American regime and the country Stability, President Roosevelt was not afraid of the power of the consortium, resolutely launched industrial and commercial reforms, and split the Standard Oil Company! You know, the Standard Oil Company under the name of the Rockefeller Consortium had controlled 90% of the oil refining industry in the United States. The first company ever to completely and completely dominate a market. But under Theodore Roosevelt, Standard Oil was broken up into 30+ companies!"

"I'll try my best!" Omar nodded in response with his eyes shining brightly.

Those who can become the president are all very ambitious and ambitious people. They all want to make a difference during their tenure, be famous for a long time, and be able to suppress a capital predator. This sense of accomplishment can't help but make Omar fascinated.
