Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Early the next morning, October 28th, two major events occurred.

As soon as the human resources and social security department came to work early in the morning, it announced the "list of socialized quotas for life extension treatment".

This was decided more than half a year ago, and the government centrally purchased and provided free treatment for the elderly among national meritorious and model representatives.

These include: meritorious veterans, national model workers, national advanced workers, national worker pioneers, national model teachers, national heroic models of bravery, senior academicians, first-class heroes and models of public security/firefighting systems, etc.

For those who have won national honors above 70 years old, they will be arranged with free "life extension treatment" and enjoy the supporting basic treatment services after the three parties of the honor awarding unit, the human resources and social security bureau, and Furui Group have agreed.

Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Of course, we are not blindly "respecting the elderly". After all, bad people will also grow old, and Laobi Deng also has the word "old".

But the 200 people on the list are indeed worthy of social preferential treatment and are role models. They have contributed a lot to the country and society when they were young, and they still stick to their beliefs and morals after screening when they are old.

Ordinary people may not be able to do it, and they may not learn it, but we need to let everyone know what kind of personality will be respected and remembered.

Considering that many old comrades are too old and afraid that they can't wait, almost all of the 200 people on the list are over 80 years old.

In half a month, they will be accompanied by local personnel and go to the three longevity centers that have been built in Beijing North, Shanghai and Guangzhou in batches.

On this day, many families were immersed in joy.

At the same time, the announcement of this list also attracted the attention of the world's wealthy. Sure enough, in the afternoon, Furui Group chose to announce the handling method of "commercial quotas" on the same day.

The commercial quotas are facing the world, and this batch of quotas totals 100 people.

The quotas will be carried out in the form of "bidding ranking", and the highest bidder will win, and they will be treated in batches.

The winner of the first place can extend his life in one month, while the last place may have to wait until the end of next year or even longer.

Furui Group also announced the bidding verification method, which is based on the overseas branches of Bank of China, which are not comprehensive but basically available in major countries. If you are a wealthy person in China, you can directly contact Furui Group and pay in RMB.

After the bidder provides biological certification information, he will participate in the ranking by depositing funds into the verification account. The account is in the Cayman branch of Bank of China to avoid the tax mechanisms of different countries.

The total bidding time is ten days, and the results will be announced ten days later.

The verification account will be locked during these ten days, and it can be entered but not withdrawn. At the same time, the starting amount must not be less than 50 million US dollars or RMB of equivalent value.

If the bid fails, the funds will be returned by the original route. If the bid is successful, the funds will be automatically deducted.

The final number of places will be based on the biological verification results, and no one can replace it. Those who regret before treatment can pay 50% of the liquidated damages to withdraw, and those who rank lower will be replaced in order. Those who die before the extension of life will also be returned intact, without deception.

There are also some details, such as if the bidder has a basic terminal illness that is not suitable for life extension, he can participate in clinical trials and undergo human hibernation, all on a voluntary basis.

The corresponding laws and responsibilities are very complicated, and a book is not enough to write about them, but this still cannot stop the desire of certain groups of people.

Some wealthy people who have been waiting for a long time and are about to die, all moved at the same time on this day.

You should know that as early as half a year ago, these wealthy people who may be buried at any time have been paying close attention, and some have even hired teams in China to continue to follow up on the dynamics, hoping to obtain first-hand information or find opportunities to take advantage of.

Zhou Rui did not give the opportunity to take advantage of. If you want to live, you have to spend money, which is natural.

Potential fat sheep. Oh no, it’s customers, including those standing in front of the stage, such as the kings of the Gulf tycoons, who basically participated in it at the first time, and even the British royal family made a bubble.

Secondly, there are some "meat eaters" from the last era who are hidden behind the scenes.

Or an oil tycoon who has not appeared for decades, or a Jewish rich man whose name cannot be found, or simply a family consortium that has been entrenched for hundreds of years.

These people control huge wealth through a complex network. It is difficult to find their names on any rich list, but their financial resources are bottomless.

It is true that the price of prolonging life may drop after waiting for a few more years

But they have the courage to wait. Anyway, Zhou Rui is not in a hurry. He did not force these people to live a few more years with a gun.

As for these people who hold huge wealth openly or secretly, how to convince other people or family members to put their wealth on themselves is not something Zhou Rui needs to worry about.

Soon, after the "Commercial Quota Handling Method" was announced, the first capital verification fund appeared in less than ten minutes.

King of Satt, now 81 years old.

First throw in 5 billion US dollars, flat A, and see the situation.

Soon, the Gulf tycoons emerged one after another. There were two in the Alian Emirates alone: ​​the royal families of Abu Dhabi and Dubai quickly followed up, none of which was less than 3 billion, and they were obviously waiting and watching.

Due to the special system, their royal families have no upper limit on the right to use wealth. They can spend as much as they want on themselves without having to explain to others.

As for the Gulf tycoons' quick response, they started to transfer money within ten minutes, which was naturally because they got the inside information from Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui was originally using this quota to harvest, and he would naturally get more if he could get more. Letting the tycoons enter the market first to raise the tone was very helpful to the final transaction price.

Auction bidding has been based on this logic since ancient times.

Soon, a participant from North America also appeared. No one knew who he was, but from his name, he was a Jew, 96 years old, and his bid was 10 billion.

Zhou Rui was playing a game with bidding, and the participants also had their own strategies. Obviously, this person wanted to show his determination to "win" to lock in the top few or even the first place and scare off other participants.

But judging from his age, he was really anxious, even King Jiji was not that anxious.

More and more people appeared.

In the Intelligent Building, the Lingshu Biological employee who was responsible for related affairs felt that his view of money had just been shattered.

The worldview is also shaky

"Where did this old man come from? He can come up with 10 billion US dollars!"

An older supervisor at the side smiled and said, "What do you think 10 billion is?"

The young employee widened his eyes: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? 10 billion is not much?! US dollars! If it is the world's richest man, I can accept it, but who is this!"

The supervisor said: "Let me give you an example. Amazon's market value is nearly one trillion US dollars, and the boss Bezos accounts for less than 10%, which is the second on the global rich list. The rest are either used as tools in the financial market or controlled by several large consortiums, and these people have their own masters behind them."

"For capitalism that plays with 'money', invisible wealth is far more than visible wealth."

"For the visible part, one or two hundred billion US dollars can make you the richest man in the world. For the invisible part, there are many consortiums or asset management companies worth trillions of dollars. It's just that the masters behind them do not allow themselves to be known to the public, so you can afford 10 billion. I don't know him, it's normal. "

The young employee swallowed his saliva: "These people won't be richer than Mr. Zhou, right?"

The supervisor patted him on the shoulder: "First of all, just by extending his life this time, the group's income will exceed the apparent "world's richest man", not to mention the group itself, which is rich and powerful and holds the key to the future. Secondly, at the boss's level, he is just like these consortiums. Money is really just a tool and a unit of measurement for them. "

"You have to remember that "money" based on the rules of the game is just a bluff. Only money based on materials and technology that changes materials has real "value." "

At the end, he added: "Money based on aerospace fighters and orbital aircraft carriers is just as useful, or even better."

The young employee said strangely: "Supervisor, why do you feel like a teacher?"

The supervisor curled his lips: "What do you mean like! Before I came to Lingshu Biology, I was a teacher at Fudan University!"

————

Just 24 hours after the rules were announced, nearly a thousand wealthy people joined the bidding.

Three days later, the number increased to 2,000 people.

There is no point in ranking below 100. Just look at the top 100. The highest bid is 12 billion and the lowest bid is 800 million.

This bidding about life span can really reshape people's "view of money".

Among them, 97% are from overseas, and there are only three from China, and their rankings are very low, and they may fall off the list at any time.

Domestic rich people started late, and most of them are now in their prime. What's there to be afraid of in their fifties? Among the three, two of them are "bought" for their parents.

In comparison, those dying people in their eighties and nineties overseas have fewer choices. Zhou Rui guessed that there may even be ALL-IN among them.

In the smart building, Zhou Rui is reading the feedback on the life extension list.

Gan Yuan stood beside him, her pair of beautiful legs in stockings were a little soft, and she was secretly adjusting the angle of her skirt. Obviously, she had just become the boss's experience baby and squeezed out a lot of experience.

Zhou Rui tilted his head. He really didn't feel much about the amount of money in the report, which was only seen at the end of the novel. These were indeed just numbers.

He was now worried about another thing.

How to spend so many US dollars.

He first thought about whether to use RMB, but the offshore RMB market was not so abundant.

If it was all US dollars, how to spend it became a big problem.

In particular, since the advantages of high-end industries are no longer there, there are fewer and fewer stories to tell. He thinks that the US dollar will fluctuate greatly in the next few years.

It's not about the exchange rate, but the value. Under the massive flood of money, even if the numbers of assets denominated in US dollars have not changed or even increased, the actual value is shrinking.

Maybe the nuclear-powered money printing machine is already being preheated..

Gan Yuan said: "Part of it can be replaced back to China through a special channel, but all of it is obviously impossible. This is already a level that can affect the exchange rate. You can invest in natural resources, such as mining, energy, etc., or acquire companies or technical patents. If you want, you can also choose some countries with suitable laws to buy land."

Zhou Rui spread his hands: "It's another complicated job. I hate spending money the most. I only know how to make money."

Gan Yuan: Do you want to listen to what you are saying.

Zhou Rui remembered something and said: "Is there anyone from the British royal family on the list? I remember that their current and next ones are almost going to retire, right?"

Gan Yuan nodded: "Yes, but the ranking is not high, only 82nd. According to the current trend, if there is no additional capital verification, it is likely to fall out of the top 100 by the end of the year."

Although the British royal family has many assets, cash and assets are not the same thing. Most of them are valuable land, treasures, royal franchises, equity, etc.

Although they are very famous, they are not outstanding in this list in terms of money printing ability, far inferior to the oil tycoons and Jewish capital.

They can definitely squeeze out by force, and they can mobilize a lot of social resources, but it is estimated that it will not be too easy.

Zhou Rui tapped the table with his fingers, and said after thinking for a moment:

"Instead of getting so many dollars back, it is better to exchange for some things that are difficult to price and they are unwilling to give. Maybe the transaction will be more comfortable."

Gan Yuan showed a curious look.

Zhou Rui said: "Contact them privately. If you can push the British Museum to return all the things, why not give them a few places?"

Gan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that Mr. Zhou was going to play the princess just now.

To be honest, she thinks it can be done. After all, the moral standards of that family perfectly inherited the high standards of the Victorian era.

But the princess is not worth the price

"I understand, I'll go ask."

"Remember, it's all, they can make up their own reasons, such as conscience, fear of revenge, etc."

Gan Yuan put away the small notebook and was about to go out, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said:

"By the way, Mr. Zhou, tomorrow is the moon setting date of the 'Eye of Artemis', you asked me to remind you to pay attention to it."

Zhou Rui smiled: "New Year's Eve, I can't forget it, by the way, I wish you a happy New Year in advance."

Gan Yuan smiled gently: "I wish you a happy New Year too."
