Chapter 71 Predator (Third update, please collect)
How could things be so simple?
No matter how things change, capital is never absent.
World War II may have been a battle between justice versus evil, civilization versus barbarism, freedom versus slavery, although justice defeated evil.
But when people cheered for victory, they never thought that under the shadow of the God of Justice, capital disguised itself as an angel, waving his minions in the shadow, harvesting the wealth of the world.
"In 1944, just before the Normandy landings, more than 1,000 agents of large American companies entered the UK through various channels. They were like a pack of hyenas, trying to plunder Europe's mutilated corpses after the war. Wealth.
World War II was a feast of wealth, or in other words, a feast of wealth for large American companies! No one has counted how much wealth those large American companies made during the war, but they were still fighting. Finally, he reached out to the whole of Europe, not 45 years later, but during the war!"
Once upon a time, Li Yi'an scoffed at this statement, but after coming to the UK, he saw it more than once! I have seen how those well-dressed people wielded the big stick of capital and harvested wealth. The wealth that the British had plundered from all over the world for hundreds of years was harvested by American capital during the war.
While allied soldiers sacrificed their lives for the just cause and shed their blood, Wall Street capital was harvesting the wealth of other countries wantonly. They stood on the corpses of the old European powers and wantonly tore at those who were already dirty. Dirty flesh and blood.
Different from Wall Street's financial capital, Li Yian does not have sharp claws or strong capital. Of course, the most important thing is... he does not have a Wall Street background.
This means that in this capital feast, Zhenhua Company can only take a sip of soup.
Who are the people who really eat meat?
He turned his attention to the passengers on the same plane. Among them, there must be a real predator.
When Li Yian looked at these passengers, there was also a person among the passengers who was looking at him. The man was in his forties. When the two looked at each other, the other person nodded slightly at him. , although no one spoke, but like jackals in the jungle, they all recognized each other. They are all jungle predators, and the same kind can always recognize the same kind.
Finally, the plane from Sicily landed at the airport in Brindisi. Both Allied and Italian troops were stationed at the airport. After the plane landed, these men wearing exquisite camel hair coats and top hats As soon as he got off the plane, he immediately greeted the nearby soldiers in English.
Without exception, they were trying to recruit soldiers as their drivers. Just as they were greeting the Allied officers and trying to recruit drivers with US dollars, Li Yi'an and Alfonso had already walked in front of an Italian Air Force major.
“Hello, sir.”
Alfonso speaks fluent Italian. In fact, with the help of the system, Li Yian has learned Italian, but he is not very fluent. That’s all.
"What's the matter, sir?"
The officer looked at the two gringos in front of him.
"We are businessmen from Spain..."
Before Alfonso finished introducing his identity, Li Yian took out two Camel cigarettes from his bag and put them on his table.
"Sir, I hope to rent a car and a driver from you. The daily payment is a pack of Camel cigarettes, and the driver's payment is additional."
Although the method is simple and crude, But the effect was very good. Whether during the war or in post-war Europe, cigarettes were the best hard currency, especially Camels and Lucky Strikes in the United States.
“I’ll fill up the tank for you. One tank of gasoline will carry 5 camels.”
Without any nonsense, the two parties reached an agreement. Just when Li Yian and Alfonso got into a Fiat car and were about to leave, the car was stopped by someone. The person who stopped him was none other than the guy on the plane.
"My dear sir, did you get a car so quickly? If it's convenient, can I take your car into the city?"
The guy made the request directly,
“I’m Mickey from Morgan Bank "Anastasio, here's my business card, sir. I think we will have some cooperation in the future, what do you think?"
Mickey said as he handed the business card to Li Yi'an. , during the whole process, he did not even look at Alfonso.
"How many of you are there?"
Taking the business card, Li Yian looked at this guy curiously. "I'm the only one."
Mickey shrugged helplessly and said.
"They thought I was an Italian so they could speak Italian, so they sent me here. God knows, my father can't even speak a few words of Italian. Just call me Mickey."
Putting away the business card, Li Yian smiled.
"Get in the car, Mickey."
"Fortunately I met you, otherwise I would have wasted a lot of time. By the way, which company do you represent?"< br>
Mickey looked at him with interest and said.
“On Wall Street, both Italians like me and Chinese like you are extremely rare.”
"Oh?"
Li Yian asked curiously.
“Why do you think I am Chinese?”
“Haha, if I am not Chinese, how can I be Japanese? They are all imprisoned. Which company are you in? Citi? From Shanghai branch?”
“I represent myself”
Li Yian blinked at him. Mickey was stunned for a moment and said excitedly.
“My friend, you have done what no one else wants to do,”
Then he points his finger out the car window and says.
“What do you see here?”
“What?”
"Wealth!"
Mickey said with a smile.
"There is wealth everywhere. Anyone who comes here and seizes the opportunity will be able to make a fortune. Do you believe it?"
Mickey then shrugged helplessly, said.
“I came here, but unfortunately I have no money. The wealth here is everywhere, but it definitely does not belong to ordinary people. Ordinary people do not have enough money to pry out the opportunities and gold buried here, unless you are a millionaire. Rich man..."
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Mickey looked at Li Yian seriously, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Li, am I right?"
The sudden question made Li Yian's heart tremble.
Grass!
Identity exposed!
Who is this guy! Could it be an intelligence officer?
