Chapter 694: Misfortune diverted to the east

  Chapter 694 Misfortune diverted to the east

"what happened?"

  Seeing the pale Zhong Shi walking out of the embassy slowly, Lu Rover was shocked. For a long time, Zhong Shi, who appeared in front of Land Rover, always looked confident. But now, Zhong Shi not only has an ugly face, but also looks a bit out of his wits, like a bereaved dog.

  Land Rover was naturally terrified, took two quick steps, grabbed Zhong Shi first, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

  Following his actions, other bodyguards in black also ran over and surrounded Zhong Shi. For a while, there were crowds around him, and the posture was so big that the two American soldiers standing guard were speechless.

   "It's okay, I just got a little scared!"

  Zhong Shi waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "It's really fine, let's go back first, I believe that the journalists will arrive soon."

   "Journalist?"

Lu Hu was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking for a while, he realized that some words were not easy to say here, so he nodded and winked left and right. The well-trained bodyguards immediately began to divide the work in an orderly manner. Around Zhongshi, another part trots to drive.

Not long after, three all-black five-box Land Rovers flew over and stopped in front of everyone. Observing the consulate staff here is another burst of emotion.

   "Mr. Zhong, Mr. Zhong, can I hold you up for a few minutes?"

   Just as the bodyguards opened the car door and were about to **** Zhong Shi into the car, an unidentified person suddenly ran out from nowhere, screaming while running hard.

Before Zhong Shi could react, the two bodyguards took the initiative to leave the group and walked towards the visitor from left to right. Make a stop pose.

"Mr. Zhong, I am a reporter from Greece. I have stayed in Hong Kong for a long time, and my visa is about to expire. I hope you can accept an interview with us. Our funds are limited. If this interview fails, I am afraid there will be no chance. gone."

  The visitor had to stop in front of the two bodyguards. However, he still mustered up his courage and yelled loudly at Zhongshi who was going into the carriage.

   "Wait," Zhong Shi paused, and asked Lu Rover beside him, "What did he just say?"

   "A little journalist from Greece!"

  Lu Rover said with a wry smile, "I'm complaining. But this is not our problem, let's leave as soon as possible!"

   "No, no, let him come over!"

  Zhong Shi pondered for a moment, then said decisively, and at the same time made a gesture of release to the two bodyguards, "Since he is so pitiful, let's help him." After speaking, a strange smile appeared on his face.

Lu Hu was puzzled at first, the Zhong Shi he knew was not a kind-hearted person, but when he saw the smile on Zhong Shi's face, Lu Hu suddenly realized that Zhong Shi must have thought of something again, and wanted to borrow this Reporter's hand to complete.

  Fedra Gale is a reporter for the Greek "Daily". Although this is a newspaper with the largest circulation in Greece, the newspaper is not well-known in Europe and the United States, let alone Hong Kong. When the financial crisis broke out in the United States, Federra, who has been paying attention to political news, was keenly aware of the abnormalities in the financial market and volunteered to report relevant news in the United States. After he arrived in the United States, he went to several places first, but apart from attending John Paulson's congressional hearings, he got nothing. The bigwigs on Wall Street live in seclusion on weekdays, and even the interview invitations of media giants such as the "Wall Street Journal" can be pushed as they can, so why would they care about a Greek "Daily" thousands of miles away? Therefore, Federra stayed in the United States for several months, and there were very few people who could be interviewed. If it wasn't for some irrelevant small characters, or he didn't even pass the initial review by the public relations department.

  After the funding ran out, Fedeira could only return to Greece in despair. Naturally, he was scolded **** by the editor-in-chief, because there were no heavyweight interviewees at all. But Federa was not reconciled. After careful analysis, he applied for an interview again. This time, he aimed at Zhong Shi, the hottest top figure in the financial world.

  When it comes to other top figures in the financial world, the difficulty of interviewing Zhong Shi is even more difficult than that. But for Federa, who wanted to make a name for himself, he realized that only by interviewing such a person could he have the opportunity to interview more heavyweights. So regardless of the editor-in-chief's repeated warnings, I resolutely set foot on the plane to Hong Kong.

   Sure enough, after repeatedly contacting Tianyu Fund, the reply Federa always received was "the schedule is too tight, and there is no time to arrange it". After staying in Hong Kong for a week, Federra realized that interviewing through normal channels would be ruined. He changed his strategy immediately, from a reporter to a paparazzi, and began to track Zhong Shi’s whereabouts, hoping to get a chance in person. .

  But after following Zhong Shi for a short time, he discovered that the big boss was always accompanied by bodyguards, even when he went home. Basically, the taxi he called either couldn't keep up with the other party, or was recognized by the other party. Today, he finally had such an opportunity, and when he hurriedly followed Zhong Shi to his destination, the sign of the American consulate made him dumbfounded again.

   After waiting for more than half an hour, his chance finally came, so the above scene happened.

   "Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for giving me this opportunity. I am Federa, a reporter from the Greek Daily News!"

After Federa was released, he quickly lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, wiped his hands on his thighs, and then respectfully extended his hand to Zhong Shi, "It is a great honor for me to interview An important person like you..."

   The flattering words came out of his mouth continuously, and the people around Zhong Shi were dumbfounded.

   "Let's get in the car first!"

  Zhong Shi shook hands with the other party with a smile, then got into the car first, and pointed to the place next to him, "Mr. Federra, you don't intend to interview me outside, do you?"

  At this time, Phaedra was a little unkempt, and because of a tight budget, he didn't bother to wash and change his clothes frequently. This crumpled suit had been worn for two days, and it even smelled faintly. He sniffed nervously, then gritted his teeth, and quickly got into the carriage.

  Ignition, start. It didn't take long for the three Land Rover vehicles to disappear in front of the US consulate.

   "Something happened just now. A staff member of the American Consulate committed suicide!"

  After sitting down, Zhong Shi didn’t immediately talk to Fei Dela next to him. Instead, he spoke to Land Rover in the front seat in English, and glanced at Fei Dela intentionally or unintentionally.

  Fedra looked at his nose, his nose, and his heart, as if he was in meditation as an old monk, but his ears twitched unconsciously, obviously eavesdropping on what Zhong Shi was saying.

"yes?"

  Land Rover glanced suspiciously at Fei Dela. Seeing that Zhong Shi didn't intend to stop him, he immediately understood what Zhong Shi meant, and continued to ask following his words, "What's going on, please tell me in detail?"

"There was a staff member of the consulate who went bankrupt during the financial crisis and thought of death after buying a huge amount of life insurance. He took a gun and planned to hijack the consul general, but unfortunately I happened to be there, and he was shot dead. "

  Zhong Shi kept clicking his tongue, with an expression of lingering fear on his face. This scene was watched by Fei Dela. He nodded thoughtfully, and his eyes began to flicker.

   "Is there really such a thing?"

  Land Rover was also very emotional, "I thought these only appeared in movies!"

"It's more than that. There have been waves of suicides one after another, and there may be more in the future." Zhong Shi frowned into a "chuan" and said solemnly, "All these are caused by greedy capitalists. Ordinary people have to suffer. This world is so unfair! Let’s just talk about what the US government did after the financial crisis broke out. They did everything they could to save the big capitalists on Wall Street. They all rescued them, completely disregarding the fairness of the market. Although some people say that the collapse of these large institutions will cause a chain reaction, the fact is that we have all seen that the fall of Raymond Brothers did not cause fatal effects on the entire financial system. Instead, the U.S. government has intensified its efforts to rescue private capital. In my opinion, the U.S. government has been hijacked by large institutions, and with the help of the government, large institutions have become too big to fail.”

  Looking at Zhong Shi talking nonsense in a serious manner, Lu Rover listened seriously on the surface, but actually burst out laughing. Although he didn't quite understand what Zhong Shi said, but in the presence of outsiders, Zhong Shi's words definitely ran counter to his true inner thoughts.

  Phaedra didn't understand, but he thought what Zhong Shi said was very reasonable, so he kept nodding.

"According to my observation, the financial crisis in the United States is very serious this time. In addition to the current response measures, it is not ruled out that they will transfer this crisis to other countries or regions. As far as I know, the financial crisis in Europe is not like that in the United States. So serious, but emerging countries are miserable. In this case, transferring the crisis to Europe may be the next goal of the US government.”

  The speaker seems to be "unintentional", but the listener is definitely paying attention. Phaedra's pupils contracted immediately, realizing that he might hear important information.

"arrive!"

   It's just a pity that just when Federra was still planning to continue listening, the destination had already arrived, and he could only get off the car with full of regrets.

   A group of people swarmed Zhongshi into the office. After a short rest, Federra was respectfully invited into Zhongshi's office. After a while, he saw another completely different Zhongshi.

  With shiny outfits, brand new shoes, and shiny back hair, Zhong Shi seemed to be a different person, appearing in front of Federra in the image of a standard Wall Street banker.

   "How is it, Mr. Gail, can our interview begin?" Zhong Shi sat on the sofa, and he could see the busy Victoria Harbor from the curtain wall behind him. This scene fell into Fei Dela's eyes, Zhong Shi's image instantly grew taller, and there was even a halo around his back.

   "Now?" Phaedra was briefly absent-minded, and asked numbly.

"Of course, it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Efficiency is everything now, and you and I can't be exempt." Zhong Shi looked at the watch on his wrist and motioned Federra to sit down, "It happens that I'm free today, so let's start. Bar."

   "Go, go..."

  Phaedra's head was blank at this time, and he couldn't believe that all this was true, and he couldn't remember any of the questions he had prepared. In order to hide his embarrassment, he picked up the cup at hand and took a sip, but he didn't expect that the coffee in it was still very hot, and he was scalded immediately.

   "Cough cough cough..."

  He started coughing violently while frantically wiping up the coffee that had accidentally spilled on his clothes, in total disarray. After a long time, with the help of others, he managed to tidy up all this. At the same time, he raised his head and forced a smile towards Zhong Shi.

  Zhong Shi nodded with a smile, his expression was very calm, just when Federra felt a little relieved and was about to pick up a glass of white water to rinse his mouth, he suddenly said: "Do you want to know the follow-up to what you just said in the car?"

  Phaedra's hand was fixed immediately, and with a click, the water glass in his hand fell to the carpet again.
