After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 792 Borrowing Yen

Saturday night is Sunday morning in New York.

With the help of Li Ka-shing and Wilson's encouragement, Delime successfully secured a $500 billion loan from OFAC by using $500 billion of frozen funds as collateral and paying an annual interest rate of 2.25%, thus temporarily freeing the frozen funds.

Therefore, Wen Chao, together with Hilt and Harris, held a unique press conference at the Empire State Building in New York.

Facing a barrage of reporters, Wen Chao smiled without the slightest fear: "It's been a week since I set foot on American soil. I vaguely remember being given a huge gift as soon as I landed. The past week has been more exciting than my entire 28 years of life..."

As soon as he finished speaking, some media professionals in the know showed strange expressions on their faces.

Because I knew about Wen Chao's arrest, and I also knew that he was satirizing Detroit police officers.

As expected of Lu Liang's personally trained 'disciple', he dares to speak so arrogantly even in a foreign land.

The next second, they realized that this was just an appetizer; the truly outrageous remarks were yet to come.

Wen Chao paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Here, I would like to express my special thanks to Mr. Terence, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Finance and concurrently the Minister of OFAC, for his fearlessness in the face of power and his dedication to public service in approving the loan for Delime."

"It's strange, but I heard from Mr. Harris that in 49 states across the U.S., excluding New York, including federal courts, there has been a long delay in bringing this simple and straightforward case to trial."

"Since so many friends from the news and media are here today, I'd like to ask, is this still the United States of America that I know, a country founded on freedom and democracy?"

His words caused a huge stir. The reporters in the audience looked surprised, but also excited.

Journalists aren't afraid of big issues, they're afraid of issues that aren't big enough. They know very well that when a problem arises, their monthly KPIs are met.

"Sigh, these guys, they all start to let loose once they go out there."

Lu Liang, who was watching the live broadcast, was both amused and exasperated by Wen Chao's remarks, and couldn't help but worry about him.

Harris's criticism of the IRS is at most a problem with the tax department, but Wen Chao's words are shaking the very foundation of the United States and directly damaging the government's credibility.

Perhaps to Chinese people, these remarks seem insignificant; the so-called freedom, democracy, and human rights are simply meaningless if they are gone.

But to the American people, this is no less than telling Tokyo University that she is a capitalist country, that the red is no longer red, and that the blood of her ancestors was shed in vain.

This is the biggest difference in the thinking of people in China and other countries. Just like when a person is hungry, they only have the worry of wanting to be full, but once they are full, they will have countless worries.

Although Lu Liang was very worried
But the press conference continued.

Wen Chao recounted the War of Independence and the Declaration of Independence from over two hundred years ago, further provoking the emotions of the American people.

As he got excited, he transformed into an accordion master, speaking with great passion: "Do you know how our country's textbooks describe America? A beautiful country, a highly developed civilization, the freest, most democratic, and most human rights-conscious country in the world..."

With tears welling in his eyes, Wen Chao's masterful use of the "first suppress, then elevate" technique made him seem even more like a "banana" than a "banana" (a person who is culturally Westernized).

At the same time, Lu Liang received an unexpected phone call.

"Lu, regarding the matter between Delimei and the IRS, my father said he would handle it and that we should keep it quiet and not mention it again, okay?"

Lu Liang smiled and said, "Of course, we're friends, and I never refuse a friend's request."

Princess Ivan, a world-renowned supermodel, vice president of a New York real estate tycoon, and an informal White House advisor.

Lu Liang's first trip to New York involved staying at her family's hotel, where he also had a brief conversation with her and her husband.

With Ivan's urgent call, he understood Wen Chao's plan: if the little devil was too troublesome, they would directly attack Yama.

Trump has been in office for more than two years, and now it's another election year. Criticizing the very foundations of the United States is essentially criticizing his governance.

Faced with Wen Chao's criticism, Old Te was still helpless because Lu Liang had another card called General Tianxing.

General Motors Tianxing built a factory in Detroit, Michigan, which is one of the traditional seven swing states.

With the best-selling American version of Tian Shu, Detroit, once an industrial gem, has been revitalized, and Michigan has gradually become a stronghold in terms of votes.

So he had no choice but to help. "Lu, thank you, our family will always remember your help."

Ivan sincerely said, "If you ever feel uncomfortable at Tokyo University, our arms will always be open to you."

For the Trump family to become an American dynasty, in addition to the father's two eight-year terms, they also need the support of financial conglomerates.

It was only because her father was stubborn and often acted unpredictably that he had a very unpleasant falling out with Wall Street financial groups.

If Lu Liang can cooperate deeply with the TEP family and join hands, they might become a super family that shares the fate of the nation.

Lu Liang couldn't help but chuckle, then suddenly sighed with regret, "Ms. Ivan, it's a pity we met too late."

Yiwan understood the implication and giggled sweetly, "It's never too late as long as you're determined."

Lu Liang was momentarily speechless, then chuckled and said, "Derma will not mention the lawsuit with the IRS again for the time being."

“Okay, please believe that your father will give you a satisfactory answer.” Ivan felt a pang of disappointment.

If it were Lu Liang, divorce wouldn't be out of the question, but unfortunately, he seems to only know how to talk big.

After ending his call with Ivan, Lu Liang looked at the live broadcast room of the press conference, which was also nearing its end.

After the live stream ended, he called Wen Chao and praised him, "Well done, Ivan just called me."

"President Lu, has Tebao decided to help us?" Wen Chao asked hurriedly.

Lu Liang nodded: "Everything is developing as you predicted."

"Actually, it was you, Mr. Lu, who inspired me. I just wanted to test Trump's attitude." Wen Chao was humble and did not dare to take all the credit.

"If you're going to praise me, just accept it. Don't always throw in those empty platitudes," Lu Liang said with a laugh.

Wen Chao chuckled: "Okay, Mr. Lu."

Lu Liang added, "They will help us handle the follow-up. Next, we will focus on the financing and listing of General Star. Li Ka-shing's port business can be put on hold for now, and we will wait for news from JPMorgan Chase."

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

After ending the call with Wen Chao, Lu Liang smiled and muttered to himself, "It's time for Hong Kong to take action as well. Not just one-way, but a three-pronged approach."

A few days later, Lu Liang, who had always kept a low profile and never gave interviews to the media, suddenly agreed to participate in an exclusive interview with TVB's financial channel.

The interview was quickly broadcast on television, and the people of Hong Kong thought that Lu Liang would talk at length about Hong Kong and look forward to the future.

Unexpectedly, he simply recounted some events that occurred when Tianxing Financial settled in Hong Kong, and then launched a full-scale attack on the Ansan economics being promoted by Japan.

“Ansan’s economics mainly relies on loose monetary and fiscal policies to stimulate the economy, but lacks a clear economic development strategy.”

"While Japan's loose monetary policy helped it escape two decades of deflation to some extent, it also exacerbated the wealth gap."

"Ansan's economics relies too heavily on monetary and fiscal policies, leading to the accumulation of huge debts by the central bank, which increases economic instability in the long run. In addition, over-reliance on loose monetary policy has also brought about asset bubbles and financial risks."

The lack of a clear economic development strategy, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, the over-reliance on monetary and fiscal policies, the failure to fundamentally resolve structural problems, and the gradual weakening of market response and effectiveness are all contributing factors.

Lu Liang detailed the five deadly sins of An San's economics, and through TVB's channels, the content quickly spread throughout East Asia and even globally, sparking heated discussions in various markets.

"I didn't expect Ryoko to be an angry young man like us. She knows that old guy has been going to the toilet a lot lately."

"Angry youth? Worshipping toilets? Can't you broaden your perspective? Do you even know that Tianxing Financial is heavily borrowing in Japanese yen?"

"What do you mean?"

"In short, Lu Liang is preparing to short the Japanese yen. Before the military moves, he is already manipulating public opinion to create panic."
