Game within game: chess player

It turned out that Lawrence had been hiding in secret listening to the conversation between David and Ye Fang. It was obvious that the old man who was about to be buried wanted to get the news he wanted from the conversation between the two.

"Brother, what do you think of this young man from the East?" David stepped forward and took the armrest of the wheelchair from the butler's hand, and slowly pushed the wheelchair to the sofa.

"This young man is courageous, perseverant, and has a strong self-confidence. This is a state of mind that can only be possessed by people who have experienced strong winds, waves, and even life and death. We are suitable for cooperation with such people, not for manipulation." Lawrence coughed lightly.

"Yeah, I think so too." David nodded in agreement.

"It seems that we have to change our strategy for this young man. We will not use the methods we used to deal with other people before, and focus on wooing him. After all, it is rare for such an outstanding young man to appear in a big eastern country. We cannot miss such a good opportunity. Opportunities to collaborate or otherwise push him towards our competitors,” Lawrence said.

"Brother, I wonder if we can bring him and Alice together. Wouldn't it be better if he could become a member of our Rockefeller family?" David suggested.

Lawrence waved his hand and said, "Our family has not fallen to the point of binding partners with marriage, and we will not let women realize the interests of the family. But if Alice can win over this young man, I will not object. "

"Okay, I understand." David replied.

"In two days, high-level government officials will hold an international strategy seminar. Get him a ticket and take him to attend." Lawrence said solemnly.

"Master, there will be a lot of sensitive information in this seminar, will this make him..." Steve said. Steve's meaning is very clear that this seminar is led by high-level government officials to interpret the major policies of various countries in the next few years. There is some confidential information in it. Once leaked, it may cause damage to national interests. After all, Ye Fang is not If he is not really involved in family cooperation, will there be any other consequences if he is brought to such a high-level meeting now?

Lawrence waved his hands carelessly and said, "He is now regarded as a lawless element by the country and is no longer trusted by his own country. If I were him, I would accept the olive branch we threw out. Now only we can protect him." Safety, of course, is more important than the overseas assets he controls, so this risk is worth taking. As for the policies formulated by those politicians, they can be changed at any time. It’s okay, and it has little to do with the family’s interests.”

"Master, then I understand." Steve replied.

Two days later, a forum called the Economic Strategy Seminar was held on the 88th floor of the Empire State Building in Manhattan, New York. Ye Fang took Nan Yi and Steve to the interior of this famous building, which is famous at home and abroad. After a security check, it was confirmed that he did not carry any After using any audio and video equipment, the three of them arrived at the banquet hall on the 88th floor.

The entire banquet hall was designed in the form of a buffet dinner. There was a forum-like place in the corner of the hall, with several chairs and a podium randomly placed. According to Steve's explanation, some strategic decisions involving next year or even the next few years will be discussed at this forum. Officials from various government departments will participate in the forum, including many staff think tanks from strategic think tanks. The rest can participate in the entire meeting. Consortiums involving major interest groups across the United States are communicating with each other and even collaborating on a lot of information at this time.

This kind of cooperation is not only between consortiums, but also between governments and consortiums. In short, any piece of information sent out in this forum is enough to affect the policies in a field, and even the domestic political and economic policies of some countries. It can be said that Full of gold content.

It is precisely because of the importance of this meeting that all participants in this meeting are screened in advance by government departments. Every participant is subject to a qualification review, and ordinary people cannot enter at all. Moreover, there are no written or video records of this meeting at all. The core strategic information was sorted and revised after the meeting and then archived and filed with the government intelligence department.

"If I am qualified for review, I should not be able to get in. How did you do it?" Ye Fang asked.

Steve smiled proudly and said, "This meeting has always been funded by the Rockefeller family. After that, the Rockefeller family will get first-hand information to provide reference for the family's future business."

In the past, he had read about the legend of the Rockefeller family from books, but now he saw with his own eyes the influence of this super family in the United States. The country unites elites from the political and business circles to formulate economic development strategies for it, and radiates and It affects the global economy. No one can match this influence. It is difficult not to make money.

"The master wants you to see how the rules of the world are made. This will be very helpful for you to expand your international horizons. We can just keep a low profile on such an occasion." Steve introduced the dinner to Ye Fang as he walked. As for the key points of communication, it was obvious that the Rockefeller family, which was the mastermind behind the entire meeting, did not want to be so high-profile, so David asked Steve, a face that did not often appear in the United States, to bring Ye Fang over.

In fact, Steve had only attended such a meeting once a few years ago with Lawrence. The people who could appear in this meeting were all top-level strategy makers in the business world. To put it bluntly, they were all chairman of the boards of directors of various consortiums. No small matter.

Ye Fang actually saw a few Chinese faces among these business bosses. Ye Fang asked Steve if he knew those people. Steve said he didn't know them. After all, he was responsible for Asian affairs. As for the internal affairs of the United States, Many people can't recognize each other.

"Nan Yi, do you have any impression of these people?" Ye Fang could only ask Nan Yi for help.

Nan Yi carefully identified it, shook his head, and said, "There are no relevant records for the time being."

Just when Ye Fang was looking around, one of the Chinese seemed to have noticed Ye Fang and walked straight towards Ye Fang.

"Are you Japanese or Korean?" the Chinese man opposite, who looked to be in his forties, asked in fluent English. After receiving no reply from Ye Fang, he asked again in Chinese, "Are you Chinese?"

"Well, I'm Chinese!" Ye Fang nodded. Although Ye Fang didn't have a good impression of the somewhat vulgar man in front of him, he still pretended to want to get acquainted and asked, "Who are you?"

"Hello. My name is Yu Chunmao. I just came to the United States from China and am now working at an Institute of International Studies in the United States." Yu Chunmao knew that people who can attend such a meeting are either rich or noble. Even Chinese Americans have a large number of people in the United States. Industrial people. But someone like Ye Fang who could come to this meeting at such a young age must have a rich background, so Yu Chunmao immediately wanted to make friends.

"Nice to meet you." Ye Fang could tell at a glance that the Yu Chunmao in front of him was probably a cultural person who envied Western life and "betrayed" his motherland. The so-called Institute of International Studies basically focused on research on a specific country. Most of these research institutes are government think tanks.

"Excuse me, sir, what's your surname?" Yu Chunmao looked at Ye Fang with an almost flattering look, definitely hoping to find out Ye Fang's details and background. After all, Yu Chunmao had just arrived in the United States and urgently needed a trustworthy backer.

But Ye Fang really didn't want to deal with such a Chinese, so he casually said, "My surname is Li, thank you."

"Oh, Mr. Li, hello, hello." Yu Chunmao nodded to Ye Fang, not minding Ye Fang's indifference towards him at all. After all, in this unfamiliar country, he could find someone with the same skin color as him and such It's not easy for people with status, and Yu Chunmao has absolutely no intention of letting go of such an opportunity.

Nan Yi, who was on the side, looked down on Chinese people who changed their nationality the most, so he ignored Yu Chunmao. Steve has seen more people like Yu Chunmao and looks down on such people from the bottom of his heart. Now Yu Chunmao is like a transparent person in front of him.

When Yu Chunmao was still looking for a topic to talk to Ye Fang, the dinner party started. Soon a host came on stage to introduce the heavyweight guests attending the meeting. Ye Fang heard that they were all heavyweights in the political and business circles. The government even sent many senior executives from core departments such as the Ministry of Finance, and even Even Greenspan, the current chairman of the Federal Reserve, came to participate. This meeting was full of gold.

Ye Fang's simultaneous translation had an obvious lag, so Ye Fang asked Nan Yi to memorize all the speakers in the entire meeting, while he listened to the key information.

“After the 911/[-] incident, the United States’ global strategy must focus on countering terrorism, and obtaining support or assistance from Asia has strategic value.”

"Our main goal in the future is the Middle East, continuing to maintain the stability of the US dollar exchange rate, and strengthening the dual-wheel driving force of the US dollar and oil..."

“Strengthen investment in Asia and improve domestic industrial chain”

"Continuous cultural input, looking for key figures in major Asian countries who can align with American values, and increasing investment and support. This is a long-term cultural strategy that strives to use five to ten years to make American universal values It will become the only norm in the world and carry out cultural aggression and import of values ​​​​to key countries. To this end, companies in the fields of film and television media, press and publishing, and Pan-American education are invited to increase capital investment..."

"Cultural invasion?!" Ye Fang muttered.

At this moment, Yu Chunmao on the side suddenly said triumphantly, "This is what our research institute proposed. To be more precise, it was what I proposed. Unexpectedly, it was actually adopted."

"Is this what you proposed?!" Ye Fang's tone suddenly changed an octave, interrupting the speech of a person on the podium. Ye Fang quickly waved his hand to apologize, and then did not stop the speech from continuing.

"You said you proposed this?" Ye Fang confirmed again. Yu Chunmao smiled and nodded as if taking credit, and continued, "This is a long-term strategy. You should know the current domestic situation, the penetration of Western culture and The input has begun to bear fruit. Look, aren’t I attracted to the free world in the United States? In the future, countless people will be willing to come to the United States to pursue democracy and freedom. I firmly believe this. After all, the United States is the most powerful country in the world. Great country and I am proud and proud to be an American citizen."

If it hadn't been for this occasion, Ye Fang would have really wanted to knock out Yu Chunmao's front teeth with one punch. This kind of groveling and licking America's face made Ye Fang feel extremely disgusted.

However, in order to deeply understand the specific content of this cultural invasion strategy, Ye Fang could only deal with Yu Chunmao patiently. Ye Fang asked in detail the main direction and means of implementing this strategy, as well as the final goal achieved. Yu Chunmao never thought that Ye Fang in front of him was playing Infernal Affairs with him. He wanted to climb onto Ye Fang's boat, so he had no reservations about Ye Fang at all. He even told Ye Fang about this cultural invasion in several steps. square.

The more Ye Fang listened, the more frightened he became. According to Yu Chunmao, the "American traitor" in front of him, once this kind of cultural aggression by the United States is successfully implemented, U.S. imperialism can infiltrate all strata of a country without having to waste a single soldier. Once infiltrated, If successful. Those young people who are deeply influenced by Pan-American Western countries will definitely become the pro-American generation. By that time... Ye Fang really doesn't dare to continue thinking about it.

If there are traces of the American MK Corporation's money strategy to infiltrate the country before, then this kind of cultural infiltration is an invisible gun. It is the most powerful weapon to invade from the depths of a person's mind. This Yu Chunmao is in front of me. Isn't it a genuine example?

At this moment, the way Yu Chunmao's mouth banged in front of Ye Fang's eyes made him feel nauseous. If it weren't for the self-control of his fists, Ye Fang would definitely tear this "beautiful traitor" into pieces.

"Mr. Li, what do you think of my plan? Is there any room for improvement?" Yu Chunmao asked Ye Fang boldly, not noticing Ye Fang's murderous eyes at all.

Ye Fang nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, yes, I believe Mr. Yu will have greater room for development in the United States."

Yu Chunmao nodded in agreement and said, "I also firmly believe in this. In the future, I will dedicate all my wisdom and energy to the United States. Who makes me an American now?"

"I'll find an opportunity to kill him and make sure no one finds out." Nan Yi whispered.

Ye Fang shook his head gently, leaned over and said in Nan Yi's ear, "Killing this kind of person is just dirtying your own hands. Besides, so many people saw him with us tonight. If something happens to him, we will It’s very troublesome. God will deal with this kind of person.”

"Mr. Li, this is my phone number. You are welcome to visit our institute when you have time. I believe our director will be very happy to make you a friend." Yu Chunmao handed Ye Fang his business card.

Ye Fang took the business card and glanced at the title and phone number on it, and said with a smile, "Definitely, definitely!"

At this time, the speech section of the forum comes to an end. Next is the free communication time and dinner time. At this time, some people who are familiar with each other will take the opportunity to discuss some cooperation projects. At the same time, many political dignitaries will use this time to have a good chat with the heads of large consortiums. Communicate to raise funds for subsequent presidential campaigns.

At this moment, Ye Fang suddenly saw an acquaintance in the crowd, Horst, the chairman of the International Monetary Fund.

And it happened that Horst also happened to see Ye Fang...
