Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"He's been having a good time with Cha, and he's been living a comfortable life these past few years. He's left his wife and sister to handle the bulk of his work and charity work, while he relaxes and enjoys life."

You're getting old, you should play less and take care of your health. He's going to Malaysia in a few days to buy raw materials to make military equipment for the little eagles. It's a very good job, very lucrative!

"Your government makes money, and you've also made a lot of money in the Hawkes' military and oil stocks, especially now that the war with Saddam Hussein continues and oil prices are rising again."

"Making more money is good, and I like that. Nobody dislikes having more money!"

Arsenal were once again overturned by Manchester United, losing the title in the final round. What a pity.

Your investment department made money again in oil futures and spot oil trading; I personally earned 20%, which is pretty good!

"It's normal for Arsenal to be overturned by Manchester United in football. Arsenal overturned Manchester United by twelve points. Just buy a football club for fun, there's no need to take it seriously."

Actually, I prefer the style of play of Juventus, the Italian Old Lady. It's stable, stable, and even more stable. They're not number one, but they don't fall out of the top three either. The most important thing for a strong club is stable development!

If you achieve a 20% return on your investments over these years, and you aim to earn hundreds of billions by 2010, that would be satisfactory.

"Juventus' matches are not interesting; they're predictable and lack excitement. I don't care about club affairs; I only go to their home stadium to watch the games."

I'm very satisfied with the investments. I heard that someone offered 1.8 billion euros to Lili to buy a football club. He wanted to buy Manchester United, but Lili refused to sell.

That's a great idea. Manchester United is much more profitable than my Arsenal. Lily has already taken €180 million, and they still have over €200 million in their accounts.

It was Ferguson who let her take it, worried that she might make a mistake because there was too much money in the club's account.

Is Abramovich going to buy a football team in the Premier League? He bought Chelsea this year, and Mourinho will be coming next year too. The Premier League is going to be very exciting.

In his heart, He Yuzhu didn't like Mourinho because he was a 'fake fan' who didn't want to watch 'parking the bus' and preferred open, attacking matches where both sides would score 10 goals to make the game interesting.

"Arsenal is profitable and winning titles, and you're not short of money. Don't compare yourself to Lily. And where has she gone?"

"Lily went to Silicon Valley to do some angel investing. Didn't you tell us last year to buy tech stocks at the bottom? We've been buying at the bottom and doing angel investing."

"Angel investing is great. If you happen to invest in one out of ten companies that go public, you'll make a profit."

Do you have any plans to attract outside investment for your IT companies back in your hometown? I have plenty of money!

The company Martha mentioned was another version of 'Alibaba,' 'Taobao,' and 'QQ,' which He Yuzhu had already snatched away.

He Yuzhu's main targets are Tencent and Alipay. Since Alipay in his hometown has been handed over to the four major banks, He Yuzhu does not think it is a good thing for private individuals to have it in their hands.

What he needs is the 'Alipay' payment system in the port city, not just to others, but also to some countries.

"My IT company can be invested in, but only people from my hometown can. Outsiders can't. Some of these matters concern 'national security.'"

"What national security? It's just an excuse you use to refuse foreign investment. I've known you for too long; I know you well."

"Good friends see through things but don't say anything. Our company can also make excuses, and I'm not lying to you. Our company is cooperating with the government."

There are some pretty good companies in my hometown. You can ask them if you'd like. They have a good reputation after you opened your company there; they haven't spread rumors!

"I don't know. I've received a lot of dividends over the years, some of which I can't use, so I'd like to invest them."

"Can."

He Yuzhu would introduce several companies to Masha, all of which were purely commercial companies that had no impact on the country. Moreover, Masha would only receive dividends and would not send anyone to manage them.

This kind of investor is loved by everyone, from top to bottom!

I stayed with Niu Niu for forty days. During that time, we fought a battle at Shadamu and two battles at Xiao A. The result was that the Little Eagles' allied forces suffered a major defeat.

To be precise, it was a crushing defeat. Little A fought two battles, and the soldiers of the Universe Kingdom lost less than 40,000 men, leaving more than 200,000 troops. Adding Little Eagle's army, they had nearly 30,000 men.

They still had a fighting chance in terms of the number of soldiers, but the soldiers of the Space Nation were completely defeated and collapsed.

They were already on edge, seeing enemies everywhere. In the ambush, the soldiers from the Universe Kingdom would turn and run as soon as the guns went off, showing no fighting ability whatsoever.

These soldiers from the Space Nation are useless; they're not even a regular army. Little Eagle needs to replace them.

The soldiers of the Space Nation are terrible at fighting, but their ability to deliver weapons and equipment is truly outstanding. Little Eagle has once again learned what a transport team is, and Little A's military equipment is almost on par with theirs.

The ceasefire here in Saddam is also due to the heavy casualties of the second offensive, leaving them with no capacity to fight a third ground war.

In the Second Ground War, the Hawkeye lost 260,000 men, including 120,000 soldiers from the Space Nation, over 130,000 Japanese soldiers, and about 10,000 Hawkeye army troops.

The army totaled 630,000 men, and lost 470,000 men in the two battles, including 260,000 captured soldiers and 210,000 killed in action.

The incredibly powerful and uncompromising Smothermu openly sold prisoners of war on television: 90,000 soldiers from the Universe Kingdom worth 900 million, and 170,000 soldiers from Japan worth 1.7 billion.

The most expensive item is 8,000 American soldiers, priced at 3 billion, with no room for negotiation. Take it or leave it.

The TV station repeatedly broadcast the unit numbers and individual ranks of the Little Eagle soldiers.

Now the world knows how many prisoners there are, and who they are; Little Eagle can't hide it anymore.

Furthermore, Saddam Hussein demanded that supplies be purchased from ordinary civilians within the country. These supplies would be bought from the Dongda Group, and Old Sha and Little Ko could send people to supervise the process, ensuring that there were absolutely no military supplies involved.

Families of captured soldiers and anti-war activists once again took to the streets to protest, demanding the return of the captured soldiers, the safety of their children, and an end to the war.

Little Eagle could only reluctantly agree, and the Japanese readily paid to buy back their soldiers. When they arrived in the Space Kingdom, they were the ones who talked the most nonsense.

Old Sha tried to negotiate the price, but Sha Da Mu refused. He then asked Little Eagle to pay for it, claiming that he had no money, but Little Eagle refused that as well.

This shameless bastard, who runs away the fastest in battle, still has the nerve to ask for money to buy back his soldiers.

We're the little eagles with money to burn, not the kind of people who'll be sucked up all the time. I'm so angry!

Then the Universe Nation actually gave up on buying back its soldiers. And they went on to spread propaganda that these 90,000 soldiers were a disgrace to them, traitors who should be expelled, and had no face to return home.

The citizens of the Cosmic Kingdom were also fooled, and they actually all thought it was the fault of these 90,000 people, and that it would be too shameful for them to be redeemed.

The economy is just starting to improve, and these citizens of the universe country are already seeking validation again. I just can't understand their thought process!

It still needs to be dealt with!

However, they don't have much money to be made in their own country, far less than Japan, so He Yuzhu has no interest in dealing with them.

He Yuzhu knew that the Japanese people should still be left to their hometown. He was well aware that some things were not forgotten, but rather that the situation was beyond their control. His hometown people had been waiting for an opportunity.

The history of a century of humiliation, in two volumes, how can future generations forget it!

When news broke that the Cosmic Nation was treating its own prisoners of war, most countries were completely stunned.

In their view, Shadak's request was not excessive; they could simply use the money given by the little eagle to buy it back.

Why abandon them and then call them a national disgrace, and say that the defeat was their fault!

proceed if you can!

"This is truly eye-opening; people from your own country are even more disgraceful."

"Such a decision is truly unprecedented; it's best to avoid dealing with countries like this."

If you don't understand, just ignore it.

The reputation of the Cosmic Nation has plummeted; it's incredibly embarrassing.
