Rebirth: My 80s

In this way, Jack Lee got the most valuable thing of the Varyag, so what was there to care about a hull?

The auction could be restarted, and eventually, as the Americans wished, it was bought by the determined Indian.

Everyone is happy, both ends are settled, and no one is offended.

But who would have thought that Jack Lee had such a big appetite that he was not willing to make a choice at all.

Evans didn't intend to indulge him. Since he spoke so arrogantly, there was no need to hide things for him. After thinking it over, Evans came to the conclusion that there was only one solution now, which was to let the Americans be the bad guys, so that Jack Lee would give up and the situation would then successfully return to their plan.

In the office, Wright received the invitation and arrived as scheduled.

Evans had a strange expression on his face, and said in a very surprised tone: "Colonel Wright, to be honest, I just met with Jack Lee not long ago, and he told me a piece of news that shocked me. If that's the case, our last conversation was in vain."

Wright leaned back on the black leather sofa and frowned slightly, "Oh? What?"

Evans, who was sitting on the adjacent single-seat sofa, said seriously: "Jack Lee said that you Americans would like him to buy the Varyag, or even... beg him to buy it..."

"Fucking fart!"

Before Evans could finish his words, Wright could not help but curse loudly, and then sneered: "Businessmen are always deceiving. Do you really believe such unreasonable words?"

Evans told the truth, "I didn't really believe it, but he made it sound so serious. So I thought, if that's the case, what's the point of making it difficult? And you said that last time, so I hurriedly asked you to come over just to confirm it."

Wright sneered, "Then I'm telling you clearly now, it's impossible! We hope he buys it, beg him to buy it... Has this guy suddenly lost his mind? He's just daydreaming. On the other hand, even if he comes to beg us, he can't get the Varyag. It's impossible. Are our meanings clear enough?"

Seeing Evans nod, Wright said unhappily: "Don't care what he says in the future, just treat it as bullshit. Don't waste our time on such nonsense anymore."

Wright said this, patted his butt and stood up, feeling both amused and furious.

Damn it, he dares to think of anything.

Evans didn't say much, just glanced at his left wrist without leaving a trace. There was a domestic watch on it, which was not worth much money. However, he also had several valuable brand watches, but they were not suitable to be worn in public.

It’s about time, he thought.

Their demands are very simple. They hope that this matter will have a result as soon as possible and not be stuck here. Therefore, they don’t mind creating some encounters. As for whether the two sides will fight or whether they will know that they are the ones who deliberately created the conflict, they don’t care. Who made you so arrogant?

In their country, everything is under control.

Not long after Wright left the office, he stopped in the corridor, and their eyes met, like enemies meeting with envy in their eyes.

Li Jiankun immediately knew what was going on, so he was not surprised. After he had said that to Evans, Evans would definitely want to confirm it, so the best way was to have him face to face with the highest representative of the United States.

But this Wright, most likely, became stupid after serving in the army, and his brain is no longer working at all.

Wright, who was holding his breath, immediately attacked and pointed at Li Jiankun, saying, "I warn you, don't spread rumors. We haven't made any promises, but you've told others about it. This is an infringement on us, and we have the right to hold you accountable!"

Li Jiankun slowly lit a cigarette, exhaled white smoke and asked: "What rumor?"

Wright snorted coldly: "You said that we hope you will buy the Varyag, or even... beg you to buy it. I warn you again that this constitutes an insult to us!"

If this were America, Wright thought, he would handcuff this guy immediately.

However, if this incident results in the slightest bad fact, he will still dare to take this guy down, and by then it will be useless for the Ukrainian side to intervene.

"How do you know this is a rumor?"

Li Jiankun said calmly, "Excuse me, who do you think you are? Can you influence your country's attitude towards my purchase of the Varyag?"

Li Jiankun asked himself and answered: "No, you can't."

Li Jiankun said sarcastically, "You know nothing, or rather, you are not smart enough."

Wright was still furious after hearing what Evans said, and now he was being ridiculed face to face. He was almost furious. This was not the first time that this hateful yellow monkey looked down on him.

"Let's wait and see!"

Wright believed that he was not on the same level as these businessmen. It had nothing to do with wealth, but a spiritual and moral level. He was disdainful of talking to him and said sternly, "Even a fool can see your purpose of buying the Varyag. Just based on this point, I have the right and responsibility to stop you."

"To tell you the truth, I'm about to leave for Central Europe to attend a NATO summit. I will specifically mention this matter at the meeting. I want to see who will support you and who will interfere with my duty to maintain world peace..."

Behind the office door, Evans smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that Jack Lee really didn't take Wright seriously. Although Wright didn't have the rank of general yet, that was mainly because he was not very old, but the power in his hands was not comparable to that of an ordinary general.

This is just great.

Jack Lee has offended Wright completely and has hit a wall. This time, Wright will not only use the deterrence of his own country, but also bring in his allies.

Who dares to disobey?

Anyway, they would never dare to do that.

"NATO." Li Jiankun said with a click of his tongue, "It's quite intimidating. Otherwise... I don't want the Varyag anymore?"

Persuaded?

There was not only Evans hiding behind the office door who came to watch or listen to the show. There were also some people in the corridor. After Jack Lee and Wright started fighting each other face to face, they all seemed to be under a spell and did not make a sound. They watched with great interest.

At this moment, everyone was secretly complaining that he was giving in too quickly, considering he was so arrogant just now.

However, it is understandable.

Let alone a businessman, looking around the world, who would dare to ignore the most powerful military alliance on earth?

A sense of comfort burst out from his chest and quickly spread throughout his body. Wright raised his chin and glanced at the Chinese youth opposite him who was changing his attitude according to the situation. He thought he was well-mannered, so he didn't spit. He said proudly: "You are sensible. It is important for people to know themselves. There are some things that you cannot get involved in. It's better to change your question into an affirmative sentence."

Li Jiankun shrugged and said, "Okay, okay, I don't want it anymore, no matter who begs me."

Without waiting for Wright to glare at him and get angry again, Li Jiankun turned around and returned the same way. There was no need for Evans to see him anymore.

Behind the office door, Evans chuckled and said, "Done."

He was just afraid that Jack Lee was too stubborn and Wright's words of intimidation would be useless. If he didn't cry until he saw the coffin, it would be a waste of time.

That's good.

A businessman is a businessman after all, and Jack Lee knows how to judge the situation. Now that Jack Lee has taken the initiative to abandon the Varyag, their plan is back on track.

Looking at Li Jiankun's back disappearing in the elevator, Wright raised the corner of his mouth and uttered a word without hiding it, "Coward."

----

Let’s go back a few days.

Russia's "money shortage" is getting worse, and the ruble's exchange rate against the US dollar has skyrocketed to a level that has made Western capitalists shudder with fear.

Except for China Huaqiang Taikoo Bank, all other foreign banks in Russia have encountered a repayment crisis.

They used their massive ruble savings to frantically purchase securities of state-owned enterprises. After these rubles entered the Russian Central Bank, the bulk of them were either openly or secretly exchanged to China Huaqiang Taikoo Bank.

It is an undeniable fact that Western foreign banks are unable to repay their customers' ruble deposits.

However, the vast majority of customers still do not accept payment in US dollars based on the exchange rate. After all, these Western foreign banks have never launched unlimited foreign exchange exchange services. Who can they blame now?

The credit of banks has been dragged down to the bottom, and the news has already spread around the world, causing an uproar and more or less affecting the business of these well-known Western banks in other regions.

They want to go all out and file for bankruptcy, but they cannot do that. Russia, which has not yet been fully westernized, does not have "sound" laws in this regard. The Russian government has sufficient and justifiable reasons to nip such an idea in the bud.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The Moscow Times once published an article titled "People's interests come first!", which was reprinted by newspapers across the country and received strong praise and support from people.

Although it has not been stated openly, all the managers and members of the chaebol families behind the Western banks involved, such as Judy Rockefeller, have been placed under house arrest. The Russian government's attitude is very clear: the people's interests are paramount. This matter has not been properly handled, and the people's money has not been paid to them. These individuals will never be able to leave.

So how do we solve this problem?

There is no other way. The only way is to find sufficient ruble cash to complete the payment to customers.

Now, those who understand know that there is only one institution in the world that can take out so many rubles, Huaqiang Taikoo Bank. It is no secret who is the boss behind this bank.

For a period of time, the search for Jack Lee became a topic that Western bankers always talked about.

But Jack Lee seemed to have disappeared, and no one knew where he had gone.

Finally, news came not long ago that Jack Lee was actually not far away and was buying a big ship next door.

The Western bankers, who had been searching for many days in vain, almost cried for joy. They immediately tried to contact Jack Lee through various channels, but without exception, they failed. Jack Lee obviously refused to negotiate with them deliberately.

The attitude is already there.

This made a group of Western bankers very anxious.

They had thought about rushing to Ukraine immediately to have a talk with Jack Lee, but it was impossible to leave the country.

But no matter how difficult it is, we have to negotiate. As I said, there is no other way. The exchange rate is rising every day, which is like cutting their flesh every day.

Western bankers tried every possible means to negotiate with the Russian side while using their own country's power to put pressure on the Russian side. After a while, they finally got permission for Stone, the CEO of Chase Bank Russia, to lead a negotiation team of no more than seven people, including non-essential personnel, to Ukraine to negotiate with Jack Lee under the supervision of the Russian side.

Stone, who has a heavy responsibility, is still somewhat confident about the outcome, because at the same time that Jack Lee was revealed to have been born in Ukraine, there was another important piece of news.

Jack Lee has a major plan in Ukraine. He wants to buy an aircraft carrier. You can guess what his purpose is.

Theoretically, this matter would be impossible to accomplish after being made public. In fact, Jack Lee did encounter trouble.

This is the origin of Stone's confidence.

The aircraft carrier was of great importance, but compared to what they were experiencing in Russia, it was nothing. Even if Jack Lee was willing to exchange rubles with them at the current exchange rate, their losses would be enough to build several aircraft carriers. If the ruble continued to rise... the consequences would be disastrous.

And it is still unclear whether Jack Lee is willing to exchange with them at the listed exchange rate.

What can we do? The right to speak is completely in their hands. We should be thankful if they are willing to keep their promise.

In fact, people like Stone are not unfamiliar with this situation. When shorting the stock market, they first borrow securities from a securities company and sell them. Later, they want to buy securities from the stock market and return them to the securities company. However, they encounter a bigger market maker who absorbs all the stocks involved in advance. As a result, they have to pay a high price and beg to buy stocks from the big market maker to return them to the securities company. It's the same principle.

Moreover, the situation created by Jack Lee is more favorable to himself.

In the past many years, during the Soviet era, Russia has been implementing a planned economy, with two lines of banknotes, and the total amount of rubles issued can be said to be very small, which is completely inconsistent with Russia's overall assets. Under such circumstances, Russia is now reforming towards a capitalist society, and many restrictions on the use of money are gradually being eliminated. Therefore, even if Jack Lee holds a large amount of rubles, he is not worried that they will become worthless, so he may really not sell them.

Fortunately, after careful analysis and research through the collection of information from various aspects, Stone and his think tanks found that Jack Lee's patriotism was beyond doubt.

In other words, he extremely wanted to purchase the Varyag.

Stone called this a great opportunity, the only opportunity in a desperate situation.

After finally getting permission from the Russian side, Stone quickly assembled a team and prepared to rush to Ukraine without stopping. At this moment, bad news came.

Jack Lee publicly stated in a Ukrainian institution building that he no longer wanted the Varyag.

When he got the news, Stone was in his high-end apartment in the center of Moscow. Two black business cars were parked downstairs with all the members of his small team in the cars. His luggage had been packed and placed next to the door. Stone was sitting next to a 19th-century-style desk, holding a white landline microphone in his hand, stunned.

After a long while, Stone roared, regardless of the identity of the person on the other end of the phone: "How could he not want it?!"

"We have analyzed and studied all the information we could collect about him. This person is capable of doing anything for the benefit of his country!"

"What the hell is going on? What went wrong?!"

The only bit of confidence, the only bargaining chip, is gone.

In this case, even if he rushed over, Jack Lee's attitude was already clear. He was not willing to talk to them at all. So what result could he get out of the talks?

A voice came from the other end of the phone. "Information shows that before Jack Lee made the decision to give up the purchase of Varyag, he had a conflict with one of our army colonels, Wright Harris. Wright threatened to mention this matter at the upcoming NATO summit. Jack Lee probably felt the pressure and gave up on his own initiative..."

Stone opened his eyes wide, not caring about his self-cultivation, and cursed loudly: "This idiot! He must have grown up eating feces! This piece of shit is incapable of doing anything good, but always causes trouble..."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I need to contact China right away."

After hanging up the phone, Stone was furious. Why are they so stupid?!
