Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1229 If Life Abandons You
"Comfortable?"

"I thought... I could convince them. After all, they were the ones who ignored us first. Now that things have come to this, we obviously have a better way to solve the problem. Should we harm our own interests just to make them feel better..."

"What do you think? You and I are both grandparents. Can we not be so naive? Even within a family, when everyone else is not doing well but you are, believe me, no matter how respectful and flattering they are to you on the surface, they all hope that you will become worse, worse than them. What's more, in an alliance with entangled interests? When people are in a good situation, they should keep a low profile. Now each of them is facing huge losses. You try to reason with them and argue with them? The result is as you can see. How can you let me end it now?"

"I……"

The convoy was driving on the street, and Judy lowered her head at the back seat of the S600.

David, who was standing beside him, said, "In the final analysis, you are insane. Although you are not very smart, you are not stupid either, because you have a hidden motive in your heart, and maybe you haven't even thought about it carefully. You don't want to be controlled by Jack Lee, and you want to slap him hard in the face, right?"

Judy was stunned.

David looked out the window, his eyes unfocused. The argument had been awful, it had created a situation of unity and hatred against everyone else, against them.

If he does not want to be isolated by his allies and the Western capitalist world, he must give an explanation.

----

When a group of Western capital tycoons arrived in Moscow, a US delegation rushed there and met with the Russian side as soon as possible.

The outside world does not know what the two sides discussed specifically.

A few days later, Li Jiankun was invited to the Kremlin.

With the mediation of the United States and Russia, a closed negotiation began.

The first negotiation was very unpleasant.

This was equivalent to enemies meeting each other with envy of each other. The US and a number of Western capital tycoons implied that Li Jiankun should not go too far. Li Jiankun directly asked them whether they wanted to talk or not. Seeing that the situation had reached a tense point, the Russian side stepped in to terminate the negotiations.

Strictly speaking, the real negotiations started from the second round.

A week later, the thirteenth round of negotiations was concluded.

"What a shame! Western capital has never suffered such humiliation!"

Li Jiankun glanced at the person who was speaking and said calmly, "And then?"

The guy who had stood up angrily suddenly became speechless, and his anger gradually subsided.

The conference room fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone realized one thing: a new world's richest man, the world's richest man in the true sense, the new world's number one tycoon, was born.

And far ahead.

This negotiation resulted in a massive transfer of wealth, draining the cash flow of many Western tycoons. The funds involved were in the trillions of dollars.

Jack Lee also holds a large number of Russian corporate securities, which are what Western capital has been trying hard to calculate. The corporate value corresponding to those securities has reached the level of 10 trillion US dollars.

There is no one in the world richer than him.

No one has more cash flow than him.

Unlike the chaebols present here, whose entire families have struggled and accumulated for hundreds or even two hundred years over several generations to have their current wealth and capital status, he alone is the world's number one chaebol.

In capitalist society, money is king.

He is so wise that he is almost a demon.

Fight with him?
Even though they were extremely aggrieved and unwilling, none of the chaebols present could muster the courage and confidence.

The sad reality is that they have never even fought as a group.

Some people even had this thought in their minds: Stay as far away from him as possible, this hateful devil!

Even the American and Russian people who accompanied the participants were terrified. Look at the scene. That person said one word, but no one among the leaders of so many Western capital tycoons dared to retort. They all left without saying a word.

The capital world has welcomed a new king!
"Mr. Li, please stay. We have arranged a dinner. Please do us the honor of joining us." The leader of the Russian side stepped forward and said politely.

The man in front of him is the absolute king of Eastern European capital!

----

Li Jiankun was not surprised by the visit of David, the head of the Rockefeller family.

Just to mention one point, the two sides are still fighting.

The oil war in Southeast Asia is still not over, but now even in the oil field, Li Jiankun can challenge the Rockefeller family head-on. The battle over there is about to undergo major changes. David's visit at this time can be regarded as a smart move.

But if David is smart enough, I hope he comes here not just for this matter.

After so many things happened, David should be very clear about Li Jiankun's character. Business has never been what he cares about most.

In the courtyard of the Red House, David cooperated very well with the body search after getting off the car. His two bodyguards were even given a house arrest order and were not allowed to leave the car. David walked into the house under the guidance of the housekeeper, looking left and right, and said with an incomprehensible smile: "The security here is not inferior to the Kremlin."

The middle-aged butler who was a teacher in a small town smiled back. He had never been to the official areas in the Kremlin, so he didn't know much about it, but he could proudly say that not a single foreign fly could enter the house without permission.

Every time the boss goes out, with the cooperation of his own security personnel and special service personnel, he can be said to be an iron wall as solid as a rock. Anyone who dares to plot against his will is seeking death.

In the living room of the main building of the manor, David saw Li Jiankun, who was wearing a set of silver-white satin pajamas. His hair was a little messy, and it was obvious that he was catching up on some sleep.

David wanted to salute, but Li Jiankun waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary. After sitting down on a single-seat sofa, David took the initiative to say to Li Jiankun, who did not ask what he meant, "Mr. Li, we will give up the oil market in Southeast Asia."

"Oh."

David hesitated to speak.

"I don't know what you are thinking, and what you are hoping to gain by bringing this up today. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, because in my opinion, whether you give up or not, it won't affect the final result. What do you think?"

David smiled bitterly. This young man was growing too fast. Even he had to admit that the Rockefeller family was nothing compared to him.

"There have been some conflicts between us. I came here today to try to see if we can turn hostility into friendship," he said.

No one wants to be the enemy of this young man anymore, especially a single family or chaebol who openly opposes him. Other families in the alliance don't want to do that, and neither does their family, because there's no way to play. They have much more money than you, and their brains are better than yours. The Waterloo in Eastern Europe is a bloody lesson.

"It's difficult, I think."

"It's difficult."

"so?"

"Judy will be expelled from the family, and she will have nothing to do with our family from now on." David said with difficulty.

This is naturally not an easy decision.

Although the family quickly reached a consensus.

But she is his biological sister after all.

And it was this sister who forced him into having no choice.

Not to mention that he needs to give an explanation to the people in the alliance. Sitting in his position, he has to put the family first. This young man has grown to this level, and if he continues to fight to the death with him, it may very likely push the family into eternal damnation.

David already knew the young man's temperament very well.

As long as the family protects Judy, he will fight the Rockefeller family to the end.

Not only were the family members afraid, frankly speaking, he was afraid too.

He is old and has recently felt that his spirit is declining and his vision is becoming increasingly blurry. The family's century-old foundation cannot be destroyed in his hands.

"You are a smart man." Li Jiankun looked at David and said.

"But you are not a good brother." David stood up, bowed slightly and said goodbye. In fact, he really wanted to ask, "What will you do to Judy?", but he didn't dare to ask.

The figure walking towards the gate became more and more hunched.

"If he protects his sister even if she commits murder or arson, then he is a good brother?"

David paused for a moment and said without looking back, "I've learned your lesson."

Suddenly a voice came from the stairs, and a beautiful figure appeared out of nowhere, sneering, "How did this old stubborn man suddenly figure it out?" Li Jiankun shook his head and said, "It's just that we have become stronger."

Liu Jingyan walked over and sat down next to him. When she mentioned this, she was obviously excited from the inside out. She bumped him with her shoulders and suddenly called out in a delicate voice, "Mr. Richest Man~"

"Be serious."

"This time it's real. It's not something deliberately done by the Western media, with those capitalist tycoons laughing and teasing behind my back, my richest man~" This time she even flirted with him.

Li Jiankun put his hand on his forehead.

Strangely enough, standing at the pinnacle of wealth in this world has been the goal he has been pursuing for so many years, but when he finally achieved it, he was not as happy as he had imagined.

It's more of a sense of satisfaction.

Later he thought about it and finally understood the reason, because this was not some sudden event, but something he had walked through step by step, experiencing all the ups and downs in his life.

Suddenly thinking back, in fact, compared to the cold numbers lying on the top of the account, the process is the most valuable. It is like a treasure hunt. In the end, I find that I may not be so eager for the treasures I once dreamed of. What I cherish more is this experience, the scenery I saw along the way, and the friends I forged with deep friendships.

"Judy is also dealt with!" Liu Jingyan suddenly waved her little pink fist, and for no reason she became a little melancholy again, "But...what are you going to do with her? I remember you said that blood debts must be paid with blood, but I don't think it's worth it to dirty your hands for her, how about...leave it to me?"

"Is it worth it to dirty your hands?" Li Jiankun raised his hand and rubbed her head.

Liu Jingyan squinted her eyes in enjoyment and pursed her lips and said, "I'm not a big shot, I don't care."

"I don't agree with that. You are in charge of trillions of wealth, so how can you not be a person of character?" Li Jiankun looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Besides, I care. There are many ways to pay blood debt with blood. Although she was born rich, it can't cover up her dirty heart. For such a person, it's not worth getting anyone's hands dirty. Don't worry, I have a way."

People who come from a poor background have one biggest advantage: they are easy to feed. They can live a leisurely life with only a bedding and a bowl of rice. Even if they are poor, they can sleep under a bridge and pick up leftovers, and they can live for ten or twenty years without any problem.

And for those who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, it is very likely that they will not survive even a little bit.

Judy was not simply raised with a silver spoon in her mouth. She had no shortage of material things, and she changed men all the time. It can be said that she enjoyed everything and was extremely extravagant and licentious. Just think about it, just because her second brother slapped her, she had to hand over Xu Qingyou, but she dared to destroy a plane and kill nine people including Xu Qingyou. The greater her temper, the more vulnerable she was.

Having lost the protection of her family, she suffered a lot of blows and was unable to fight back. She was so suffocated that she almost died.

After understanding Li Jiankun's thoughts, Liu Jingyan laughed out loud, "You are so mean."

Li Jiankun shrugged, "No burden."

"But she still has the Ferron family. Even if they can't help her, a life of luxury will still satisfy her."

"You think the Rockefeller family doesn't dare to interfere, so how can the Phelan family dare to go against me? If they go against me, I'm afraid? Besides, here, if the Phelan family has any ideas, they have to be able to come in. If Judy wants to go out, I have to approve it."

The domineering aura that Li Jiankun unconsciously exuded made Liu Jingyan obsessed and fixed her eyes on him. Only then did she realize that the man next to her was already the uncrowned king on this land under her feet.

"Please tell me clearly, what is wrong with my passport?!"

"We suspect it's fake."

"Open your dog eyes and look carefully. How can it be fake? There's even a stamp from your customs on it!"

"Ma'am, please stop making trouble. We are not law enforcement, but if you continue to make trouble, we will contact law enforcement."

...

Judy walked out of a train ticket agency in a daze.

Unable to even buy a train ticket, she was certain that she was trapped in this damn city by an invisible hand.

Carrying an Hermès suitcase, Judy staggered aimlessly on the streets of Moscow in the early autumn, not knowing where to go.

Her bodyguard betrayed her and took all her cash.

Her servants stole all the jewelry she was not wearing.

The checks and deposit slips she had could not be cashed at any bank.

Her luxury apartment was repossessed and the new landlord kicked her out. The same thing happened to a bar she bought, which inexplicably became someone else's because of identity issues.

But even though her identity was problematic, no one came to arrest her.

When I contacted people in China, they always said that someone would come as soon as possible, but no one ever showed up.

helpless.

She had never felt so helpless in her life.

Being bullied to death!

She naturally understood why it turned out like this.

Law? Human rights?
It's useless.

She didn't even bother trying to go to law enforcement or sue the guy, that would be self-humiliating, and few people knew the rottenness of this shitty place better than she did.

And they don't even have an embassy here.

There is no way to heaven and no door to earth.

Judy looked down at her collar. The only thing she had left that could be exchanged for money was this necklace. Thinking of this, she felt a sweet taste in her throat and almost spit out a mouthful of blood. There was no kind person in this damn place. Everyone wanted to bully her.

A ruby ​​ring worth half a million U.S. dollars bought from Sotheby's was sold for only 20,000 rubles after searching many places and seeing many people for a whole day.

Another even rarer pink diamond was sold for only 18,000.

There was no way she could survive for too long.

She realized that she could no longer sell the sapphire necklace at such a low price. Even though she hadn't had a sip of real red wine or a decent dinner in three days, she had to find someone who knew the value of the sapphire necklace and was wealthy.

Thinking of this, she wanted to curse again. There wasn't even an auction house in this shabby place!

There isn't even a pawn shop.

Every time she could only go to the most luxurious places possible, such as hotels and restaurants, and look for people one by one to sell her products. She also had to be careful not to be recognized, as if she were a fake salesperson who was cheating people.

She really couldn't think too much about her current situation, or she was worried she would go crazy.

With heavy steps, Judy went to one luxurious place after another according to the plan, looking for a good buyer to sell her things to. There were many people interested, but no one was willing to pay a reasonable price.

This time Judy didn't intend to let them take such a big advantage, so she decided to work harder and go to those nightclubs at night, maybe she could meet a generous gentleman there.

The nights in Moscow in early autumn are very cold, at least for someone who has lived in a coastal city in North America for a long time.

Walking out of a dance hall disappointedly, Judy subconsciously shrank her neck. She was very tired. She still had some change on her, which could have allowed her to have a full meal or even stay in a hotel, but she really didn't want to let that kind of pig food ruin her stomach again, or let those cheap and dirty sheets ruin her skin.

She said to herself, just be patient, maybe she will succeed in the next place.

With this expectation, Judy dragged her exhausted body to the next dance hall. She was familiar with these places, but she always took a car to get there before.

At some point, the light from the street lamp became very dim, and there seemed to be a few swaying shadows ahead.

Judy was startled and slowed down her pace. When she caught a glimpse of the scarlet cigarette butt in the darkness, she turned around and walked back.

"Hey, girl, why are you walking so fast? Come and have some fun."

"What's in your hand that's so precious?"

"I'm talking to you, stop!"

"Fuck, she looks good, but she's so old?"

"What the hell, what is this? Let go! Is it a gem?"

"Hey, this woman is a little old, but her skin is still very smooth. Are you interested? If not, I'm here."

The sapphire necklace was snatched away, and Judy was dragged into a nearby alley. The sound of cloth being torn rang in her ears. Judy was so scared that tears rolled down her cheeks, but she didn't dare to cry out loud. It was only when the bear-like man began to move that she howled from the bottom of her throat, "Help! Help..."
