Giant of the times

"Oh my God, there are actually 2.5 trillion US dollars!!!" Li Zetian opened his mouth wide with shock on his face.

Dongfang Yuqin smiled and said: "This does not include the companies we acquired!"

Li Zetian smiled and nodded: "Yes, these companies are priced at cabbage prices, and you can make a lot of money if you buy them!"

"However, we still have a problem." Dongfang Yuqin said, "The short position in the futures stock index was too big before, and some people will definitely doubt us."

Li Zetian was silent for a moment and said: "It's normal. If they don't suspect it, they are idiots. Even if we are eventually investigated, it doesn't matter. We are serious businessmen, neither stealing nor robbing, and we have committed no crime. Who says we can't do anything? Before the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, what about those who shorted the stock market? This only shows that we have foresight! If the stock market had not fallen, we would have suffered huge losses, wouldn't we? We were also taking huge risks." Li Zetian spoke plausibly.

"Not to mention, they have no idea how much money we actually make."

Dongfang Yuqin nodded.

Li Zetian added: "However, no one is guilty of harboring a jade. With so much money, some people will definitely care about us and want to cut the wool. Therefore, we must strengthen our ability to protect ourselves." Li Zetian paused and thought deeply. After a while, he said, "I decided to increase investment in military power and cutting-edge technology!"

"how do you want to do it?"

"Mercenaries, weapons, robots, artificial intelligence, genetic technology, satellite positioning, etc.,"

Li Zetian's tone turned cold, "If any country dares to harm us and steal our wealth, what if I become a terrorist? As long as there are advanced weapons, powerful mercenaries or an army of robots... I dare to turn this country into a terrorist." The sky is overturned!!!”

Dongfang Yuqin rested her head on Li Zetian's shoulder and said softly: "Being too outstanding is also a mistake. My dear, no matter what decision you make, I will support you!"

Li Zetian kissed her forehead and smiled: "Of course, this is the worst plan. I will support myself to control the US government. Over the years, the orphans we have trained have grown up, and many of them have participated in politics. It’s all our political power!!!”

Starting from the mid-1970s, Li Zetian began to lay out this situation.

Over thirty years later, the orphans have grown up and become a powerful support to Li Zetian! Li Zetian also used his own strength to support their rapid development. Today, many of them hold high positions in the US government and even other countries.

However, Li Zetian also knew that after only a few decades, his background was still somewhat lacking. Therefore, he could not completely count on them. He still needed to be strong himself.

Nowadays, the family has too much money to spend, so they must invest it as soon as possible and turn it into their own strength. In the evening, Li Zetian, Yu Jingqiu, and Dongfang Yuqin discussed for a long time and made many plans.

Yu Jingqiu is mainly responsible for charity business, training orphans, helping the poor, earning a good reputation for Li Zetian, and at the same time training these people to become supporters of the Li family.

Dongfang Yuqin is mainly responsible for commercial investment planning, while Li Zetian oversees the overall situation.

…

United States, White House.

"Your Excellency, we have basically investigated clearly. Before the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, it was Chronos Li who was shorting the global futures stock index. Come to think of it, he may have made one to two trillion US dollars!" the FBI minister said to President Omar, thinking in his heart Sneered, Chronos Li still wanted to hide it, but how could such a huge amount of money be concealed?

Just like history, Omar was elected President of the United States on November 5, 2008. At this moment, when he heard this, he couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.

"Your Excellency, if Chronos Li hadn't shorted the global stock market, this financial crisis wouldn't have been so serious!" the FBI Minister said bitterly. In this financial crisis, the FBI Minister suffered heavy losses and his personal assets shrank significantly. , several companies he invested in went bankrupt.

Omar frowned and said: "Chronos Li is a normal business operation, there is nothing we can do against him!"

"Your Excellency, having said that, Chronos Li is selfish and ignores the interests of the world. We can expose his ugly crimes!" the FBI director announced his personal vendetta. Before Omar could speak, he continued, "Chronos Li Li is as wealthy as the country and has so many companies under his name that it affects the U.S. economy. Mr. President, such a person is not a good thing for the United States and is a potential threat to the authority of the U.S. regime! The reason why the United States has such high standards The purpose of the inheritance tax is to prevent the emergence of super rich people like Chronos Li who will threaten the rule of the United States! If Chronos Li is allowed to continue to develop, he will definitely become extremely powerful and eventually control the U.S. government!"

Omar is depressed. I just took office not long ago and you want me to get Chronos Li. Aren't you kidding...

"This..." Omar hesitated and said slowly, "As the president, I don't want to see such a detached and uncontrollable figure appear in the United States. It's just that Chronos Li's influence is too great, and it has great influence on the U.S. economy. It plays an important role in peace and stability, so dealing with Chronos Li is not a trivial matter and requires long-term planning. Furthermore, he has not broken any laws..."

The FBI director said: "Exposing his scandal and suppressing his company will definitely make him very uncomfortable!"

"That's okay!" Omar thought for a while, and finally nodded. He thought, many companies under Chronos Li's name have formed monopolies, and the previous US presidents have close relationships with him, turning a blind eye. You must work hard to improve yourself, and don't accept the sugar-coated bullets thrown by Chronos Li. You must punish him severely. In addition, government and military orders can no longer be given to him. The United States cannot cultivate an uncontrolled person, and this person is still Chinese! Although he is an American citizen, he has only been a U.S. citizen for more than thirty years. His ancestors are all Chinese, and he himself was born in China!

Seeing that Omar had agreed, the FBI director was overjoyed and couldn't help but continue to encourage: "Your Excellency, if you can suppress Chronos Li, your achievements will be comparable to President Theodore Roosevelt! Back then, for the sake of the American regime and the country, Stable, President Roosevelt was not afraid of the power of the consortium, and resolutely launched industrial and commercial reforms to split up the Standard Oil Company! You know, the Standard Oil Company under the name of the Rockefeller consortium already controlled 90% of the U.S. refining industry. The first company in history to completely dominate the market. But under Theodore Roosevelt, Standard Oil was broken up into more than 30 companies!"

"I'll try my best!" Omar nodded with his eyes twinkling.

Those who can become president are all very ambitious and ambitious people. They all want to make a difference during their term in office and be famous throughout the ages. The sense of accomplishment of being able to suppress a capital giant cannot help but make Omar fascinated.
