Ms. Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either

Aimless men walk the streets of Colombia's dream city, stepping on broken dreams with every step.

The sky gradually darkened and thick dark clouds covered the sky.Drops of long-lost raindrops crackled on the floor-to-ceiling windows of high-rise buildings, the neon lights were fainted by the rain, and the hazy colors dyed the earth colorfully.Henry stood on the side of the street, and people in a hurry ran past one by one. Everyone's face was gritted, as if it might be a sin to stop even for a second.

Cars honking their horns rushed by, and there was a strange noise from the side of the station.It turned out that the rain mixed with mud was splashed by the wheels and sprinkled on the girl's coat.The man standing next to her seemed indifferent to this, and didn't want to answer the girl's complaints and questions at all. It wasn't until the girl's chatter finally annoyed him that he reluctantly put down his phone, glanced at the girl, and scolded perfunctorily. She sounded stupid.

Henry, who was wearing glasses next to him, looked at this silently, leaving the space on the platform for the couple who didn't seem close, and waited for the bus in the rain.His face was full of exhaustion, he didn't know if it was because he had stayed up all night for this month's work, or he was just tired inside because of the sudden change.

The bell for the end of get out of class rang in the high school in the distance, and he looked into the distance, but no boy in the teaching building came out of the classroom, and the vague figure named Teacher was still standing on the podium, working hard for the next 3 minutes that he pieced together out of thin air .He suddenly remembered a few days ago when he hosted a Colombian school to visit the Science and Technology Expo. That disgraced kid from the country, Henry asked him with a smile, why he came to the City of Dreams, and what kind of incredible dream he had , the boy held back for a long time, and finally he uttered his dream aloud. He vowed that he would never be like his father, and he could only face the land for the rest of his life.

At that time, he laughed with other students in the class, and told him with a righteous face that there is nothing wrong with farmers, and those who face the land all their lives are the greatest people in this country.

Were these words from the heart at the time?Henry couldn't tell the difference, but he didn't realize his hypocrisy until this moment.He did laugh at a child's dream, but now, he realized the determination of that child when he uttered his dream, the look of unwillingness to give in and want to change his destiny.He found that he couldn't even do that juvenile level. After facing the overnight fall from the upper class, he couldn't even think of climbing back.

He looked at the advertisement posted on the platform of the station. A small company is recruiting typists. The monthly salary is only [-] Longmen coins, which is about two thousand and less than three thousand in Colombian bills. With such a meager salary, It is estimated that it will take at least ten years to buy a decent house in Silicon Valley.

But even if it was such a job advertisement, he had already seen people coming and going after passing by and turning back more than once, making a note of a phone call, and leaving in a hurry.There was a desire for the job in their eyes, and Henry could recognize the look, but in order to maintain a minimum of decency, each of them muttered words when they took down the phone, saying things like "it's boring to say, you have to help You remember" in this way to alleviate the embarrassment of oneself through persecution by friends who made out of nothing.I don't want to call the company in public like this.

Henry couldn't help but smiled wryly.Be deceived, be deceived.

This steel and concrete jungle has never been a dream city, and he showed the wildest side of the capital to everyone in the gentlest way.The law of the jungle has never gone away, and the truth of the jungle is repeated over and over again in this land, but the predators have changed from beasts to capitalists, and the tools of predation have changed from fangs and claws to exploitation and squeezing.

Only after actually seeing the city for what it is is one to bemoan why things are not as advertised.

All are busy making ends meet, all are bowing their heads in prayer, all are covered in bruises, and all are ostentatious.The sound of gold coins colliding with banknotes and the wailing in the factory, the replay of the speech at the opening ceremony of the high-spirited science and technology expo on the high-rise building, and the drenched middle-aged man in front of the station.

"Mr. Henry, it can be seen that you are not in a very good mood at the moment?"

A thick voice came from behind, Henry turned around, and standing in front of him was a tall figure that was well above him and covered the lights.

"you are?"

He patted General Xing on his shoulder and said:

"I am [General], and I will answer your doubts for you. I will give you and Rhine Life a chance."

PS: I don’t know if anyone has noticed it, but the content of this chapter describing all kinds of beings is indeed inspired by Jiang Yunsheng’s song "You Can Be Whoever You Want to Be". Anyone can go and listen.

Chapter 222 Chapter 43 The praying mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, but the bullet is under it

Columbia, Laconfende Memorial Café, box.

On the wall of the box is hung a commemorative oil painting commemorating the most important and famous battle of the Colombian War of Independence, the Battle of Laconfende.In this battle, the Colombian Independence Army defeated the local garrison of the Duke of Victoria, and won the war with a loss ratio of one to ten, completely breaking the myth of Victoria's invincibility.

Although the army they talked about was just a colonial army composed of local aborigines, and its numbers and equipment were far behind that of the Colombian Independence Army, which was instigated by the Victorian regular army.But Colombians took the symbolism of the battle very seriously, calling it a "great victory."

The Brigadier General sat under the oil painting, while Director Henry sat opposite him, with doubts and expectations on his face.

Director Henry never dreamed that when Rhine Life suffered such a blow, the first to lend a helping hand was not the lending bankers and capitalists who had invested heavily in Rhine Life, but the Colombian military, which could not do anything.

But this is indeed a solid thigh. In Colombia, what could make people feel more secure than the military with guns in hand?

With the help of the military, Rhine Life can transform from an ordinary private enterprise into a military enterprise, and its status and grade have been improved by more than one grade.But the problem is...

All the seemingly selfless help has already marked the price secretly.He didn't know what the military's purpose was to extend a helping hand when the Rhine Life building was about to collapse.

So, what's the price?

"It seems that Mr. Henry is also very interested in my proposal."

With his hands crossed, the brigadier general said unhurriedly,

"However, I think you should find out why Rhine's life suffered such an accident."

Henry frowned. The brigadier's words really hit his point. What he is most concerned about now is why Rhine Life has encountered such a thing?

A group of shareholders, a group of capitalists, actually gave up the opportunity to make money, and 3, 2, 1 withdrew their capital together.What they have to pay is liquidated damages, and they will also lose money after Rhein-Life goes bankrupt. Why do they do this?

"You might be able to look at this."

As the brigadier general said, he took out a stack of manuscripts from the briefcase beside him.The writing style of the manuscript looked familiar, Director Henry glanced at it, and saw the surprising signature.

"Joseph Pulitzer? Pulitzer reporter?"

He flipped through the press release and said in surprise,

"Is this a press release from a Pulitzer reporter?"

The brigadier nodded without changing his face.

"The Pulitzer reporter gave this press release to the Washington Post editorial office to get it on the front page of Columbia tomorrow, but we have people in the editorial office, so we cut this press release. Come down. As for why the military wanted to take action... Well, how should I put it, there are some contents that are really not suitable for the news column, which can easily cause huge negative effects on the impartiality of the Federal Parliament and the image and reputation of Colombia Influence, although our military and the political circles have not dealt with it very much, we are still on the same front in this kind of national event. But of course, although it is not convenient to disclose it in the news media, I privately think that you, as the party involved in the incident, And Rhine Life, still have the right to know. So I made a special application to hand over this press release to you, Mr. Henry."

What he said was watertight, and it not only insinuated that the internal content was black material about the political world, but also closely related to the incident of persecuting Rhine's life.It also subtly elevated the military's actions in this matter, and created a good image in Henry's heart, helping the subsequent negotiations go more smoothly.

And the props used are just a forged [Pulitzer Press Release].

Joseph Pulitzer was a great man, people inside the military once said so.He left no other identifying marks other than his signature on his published press releases.This may be because he doesn't want to be exposed, but the military think tank has put forward another view. Maybe he is trying to encourage those other reporters?

Their thinking is correct. Wayne did not leave an obvious identification label on the vest of the Pulitzer reporter. He just wanted to encourage other reporters. If they don’t have the courage to stand up and expose the darkness on the earth, then they can Choosing to hide under the light of the Pulitzer vest, and pushing everything to the Pulitzer reporter, Wayne will let the Pulitzer vest bear those things.

But this also gave the military an opportunity. Forging a signature is not difficult for an Originium warlock. Even ordinary people who don't know Originium skills can learn to imitate handwriting after a period of training.

It is unavoidable for the military to expose the dirt in the political world. After all, the two parties have always been in opposition, and their revelations will not have much effect. The peace on the surface cannot be torn openly and split Colombia apart.

At this time, the Pulitzer reporter has become a qualified candidate. Let him expose the conspiracy and criticize the shadows. The military just needs to follow behind and reap the benefits.Anyway, the military has been monitoring the entry into Colombia. So far, no one who may be a Pulitzer reporter has entered Colombia. They are not in Colombia, and it is impossible to parachute into Colombia to slap them in the face. They just use it casually. This identity?

What's more, maybe the Pulitzer reporter will be very happy that he can inexplicably pick up a credit for "exposing corruption in Colombian political circles".Maybe he will come to Colombia to investigate at that time, and then the military will be able to figure out who this mysterious reporter is!

Crack down on the arrogance of the political circles, reap the loyalty of Rhine Life, find out the identity of the mysterious Pulitzer reporter, kill three birds with one stone, gain nothing but nothing, why not do it?

The brigadier general tapped the table with his fingertips, held the coffee cup with the other hand, and kept sipping the coffee slightly. He stared at Henry, who was getting more and more angry, and smiled involuntarily.

Good thing, good thing, big good thing.

Idiots in the political world have always mocked the military as a bunch of reckless men who only know how to roll up their sleeves, but they never thought that if the reckless men started to think, then you trash in the political world would have no need to survive.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. The Rhine life you want to balance will be accepted by our military.

The Brigadier General was ready to formally throw an olive branch to Henry, but he did not expect that the praying mantis was catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind, and the oriole stretched its neck to peck the mantis, but did not know that the projectile was under it!

Wayne is ready.

It's time for Columbia to experience 80.00% of all Terra's financial transactions, from the operation of the Lancaster family for several eras—[Lentinium Core City] capital dimensionality reduction hit!

PS: Happy birthday to the [-]th anniversary!

Section 223 Chapter 44 President of Victoria General Medical Corporation

Columbia, Elizabeth Hotel, top floor.

When Kelsey walked into the room with a solemn expression, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, Wayne knew that something might have happened.

"As you can see, Your Highness,"

Because it is business, Kelsey also rarely used the honorific,

"The information provided by Chianti has been proven to be true. This morning, the stock price of Rhein-Vital has plummeted, and the capital chain has also been broken. A large amount of inhibitor inventory is backlogged in the warehouse and cannot be sold. The expanded production line cannot be started due to insufficient funds. , Rhine Life tried to improvise some goods and deliver them to Party B in order to obtain emergency payment, but the large medical institutions led by Columbia Morgan Hospital have unified their caliber and asked Rhine Life to solve internal problems before they can receive these inhibitors with confidence."

Wayne wanted to laugh when he heard it. To solve the current problem, Rhine Life needs money. What should we do if we need money? We need to complete the order and get the payment, so what about delivering the order?Internal problems must be solved first.

Obviously, this is an endless loop that can't be circumvented no matter how hard it is, and Wayne can imagine the look of Director Henry furious in the office.

Those hospitals, or those merchants who ordered the inhibitors, Wei En felt that they had no intention of saving Rhine's life at all.Although Loken Williams is not a good person, he is indeed a smart person. His analysis fits the real psychology of Colombian capitalists: they are not willing to see a new medical enterprise that breaks the market order and seizes the market at a low price appeared, but they were unwilling to give up the huge profits that the new inhibitors might bring, so at this time, naturally, a dead Rhine-life was better than a living Rhine-life.

As long as Rhine Life is dead, the patent rights will be gone.The inhibitors that are brought back to the country and their production methods will be controlled by the Federal Parliament, and the Federal Parliament will be controlled by them behind the scenes. At that time, they will not set the price as they want, but they will set the price-in a beautiful name, it conforms to the laws of the market just fine.

Reasonable, compliant, and most importantly legal, in line with Colombian-style flexible democratic moral standards, which makes Wayne admire-it has to be said that it is an ability to package robbery, robbery and conspiracy in such a way .

However, in the end, the subtle conspiracy cannot be put on the table. As long as people know the cause and effect, even if it only touches a small part of it, it will have a domino effect and irreversible change in its development.Wayne knew this well, so he was ready.

Let the storm come harder.

............

Victoria, Londinium, the core city of Londinium.

The changes in the core city are always changing with each passing day. A hotel that may still stand here today may become a new enterprise established by a certain capitalist or nobleman tomorrow.But there is only one thing that will never change in the core city - the Londinium Financial Exchange.

One block away from the Elizabeth Hotel, located in the southern part of the core city, close to the Iron Palace of Aslan, where the Londinium Financial Exchange stands, including all currency transactions in circulation across the continent, stock futures, large funds, and Terra every day Nearly 80.00% of the financial trade volume passes through here, and then flows into the countries of the land.

As the absolute embodiment of Victoria's economic hegemony, it has an unshakable position in the entire land of Terra.Although there are newly emerging financial trading centers in Dayan Longmen in the east and New London in Columbia in the west, trying to challenge its status and share the same position with him, it can be clearly said that as long as there are no two world wars, the sun of the Victorian Empire It will never be possible to fall!

Sitting in the core city of Londinium, in the open-air restaurant on the top floor of the Elizabeth Hotel, Teresia and Wei Na only need to look down a little, and they can see the slightly low-level building among the tall buildings one block away. architecture.

"According to what you said, Wei Na, the exchange should be the most conspicuous building in the city, isn't it? Why is it built so short?"

Teresa asked in confusion.Wei Na waved her hand. She knew that Teresia might ask this question. She reviewed it last night. At this moment, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she explained swearingly as if I understood:

"In order to prevent the gamblers who have lost all their money from jumping off the roof one by one to reopen."

Teresa was surprised:

"Isn't it easier to get up if you're short?"

Wei Na took a sip of lemon juice (Teresia and Wei En did not allow her to drink alcohol), and said with a mysterious smile:

"If you are short, you can't fall to your death,"

The eloquent Teresia was choked for a moment, feeling like she couldn't get out of her mouth, and hesitated for a long time before she reluctantly said:

"really."

Wei Na waved her hand with a smile and explained:

"Okay, okay, the above are all internal secrets, and we always declare to the outside world that [status is not determined by height, shortness, fatness, and thinness, and the importance of a building is never determined by its size]. If someone complains to you about this , just tell him that."

Teresia scratched her head, and nodded with twitching corners of her mouth:

"understood."

Although she didn't think anyone would come to complain to her about this kind of thing as a Sarkaz.Even if it took such a long time for a month, she has only just let the members of the Iron Palace recognize her as the Princess of Sarkaz, let alone the wider Victorian land, and there is a long way to go what.

"Let's not talk about this." Wei Na suddenly hissed and said, "Our guest is here."

Yes, as the Queen of Victoria, although Wei Na has always maintained a worldly attitude, she often even visits privately (with a large number of unicorns and security guards behind her) to understand the people's sentiments in places like civilian areas (to find Indra, Dalk and Gawain's little friends), in the eyes of the Victorians, they have a strong sense of presence (everyone knows that their new queen, Vina, is a beautiful girl, and the queen of the private secret association "Jianwei (single pusher)" has formation).But this does not mean that Wei Na can aimlessly and leave the palace as she pleases.

She is the queen, and it is enough to go out once a week in a micro-service, otherwise it will inevitably cause additional burdens on urban traffic, security and other aspects.And this week, she had already used up her "walking pass". She came to the core city to do business.

Oh?You ask Theresa?

She did come to play.

The door of the hotel was pushed open, after a strict body search and scan by the guards at the gate, after confirming that he was not carrying any dangerous items, a man in a formal suit, top hat, mustache and monocle was almost exactly the same as the British gentleman in the movie walked in.

"Hello, Sir Sandro."

Wei Na put on her formulaic empress smile, and Sandro immediately bent down respectfully and bowed at ninety degrees to pay tribute:

"Hello, Your Majesty, I wish you a long and healthy life."

Sandro Lim George, President, General Medical Victoria.A former follower of the Lancaster family, a frequent visitor to the Londinium Financial Exchange, and a big capitalist.

Section 224 Chapter 45 The Beginning of Enterprise Nationalization

Wei Na was very puzzled, why Wei En was so harsh on Londinium Financial City, which pays taxes to the country, not only established a large number of rules that she could not understand, but also for those capitalists who wanted to seek status. Reviewed it from start to finish.

She even wondered what kind of effect the eight-hour work system, trade unions and other weird systems implemented by Wayne had, and why in Wayne's mouth, these were "must do" things.Does he have any prejudice against these people?

Facing Wei Na, the future ruler of the Victorian Empire, Her Majesty the Queen who will be independent sooner or later, Wei En patiently explained that he is not against making money, nor does he have any prejudice against these people, he is not against capital, standing With his identity and position, he is indeed unable to revolutionize capital. After all, the revolution in his mind is bottom-up and started from the people, and he is destined not to initiate it.What he has to do is to oppose the excessive expansion of capital.

Although he can't do the best, he can do it at the next level, allowing the state to control capital instead of letting capital manipulate the country.Let capital serve the interests of the country, instead of letting the country make way for the interests of capital.This is how he suppressed the capitalists in the financial city of Londinium who wanted to seek aristocratic status.

Just imagine, a group of wealthy capitalists became nobles. They know how to make money, understand the strategies of the market, and hold a lot of power in their hands. It’s not that Wayne looks down on many nobles in Victoria. Let’s ask, apart from holding For the group of military power, what competitiveness do other nobles have?

When the traditional aristocracy is completely squeezed out of the power center, and the new bourgeois aristocracy has taken power, what is the next step?What else stands in their way?

That is of course the emperor.

At that time, what Wei Na will usher in is a glorious revolution, or a French revolution, either keep the head but not the power, or keep the power but not the head.

This is not to say that Wien is against the progress of the times, against the replacement of feudalism by capitalism.But to be honest, he is the most progressive person in this era, and compared to a large group of cunning and cunning capitalists, it is obvious that those old aristocrats who spend all day in drinking parties are much easier to control.This can be regarded as the few remaining advantages of autocratic monarchy-as long as the monarch's thinking is enlightened enough and his governance is wise enough, the people can live a prosperous life.
